The Last of Us: Season 1, Episode 3.

[oh-my-damn]

I agree sometimes on influencers and entertainers not speaking on things they aren’t educated about and don’t care to be educated about. I think they can do more harm than good spreading wrong information. Also, it really just shows their true colors anyways.

For Chris though… this man has made a whole political platform. He inserted himself into politics by acting like he truly cares about political, social and world events. He’s even historically been vocal about certain things and it’s wild to think he deserves a pass because he’s jUsT an aCtoR. Or maybe because he has aNxIeTy. Bffr.

He thought his popularity could carry him into other avenues, but with a dwindling and dying fan base he probably realized this wasn’t going to work. He curated a perfect Steve rogers esque persona over the years, but he forgot he has to maintain it. He seems like he’s now content staying silent and not rocking the boat. Also, It’d be weird to speak up on issues while people are calling out your wife for her past problematic behavior.

Not to mention the website was already problematic and most of us who were supportive should have seen the red flags. The fact that the site gives a “neutral” stance on political issues and parties. Lol. Okay, Jan. Then having just genuinely the wrong type of people chosen to speak on issues, ick.

Man is 🗑️ and I’ll die on that hill.

He hoped he would have his cake and eat it too.

That is genuinely what I believe he thought would happen. Got a lot of support, and a lot of publicity, when he tweeted against trump.

The world needed that. The world rallied against trump and then they rallied for Chris. He had already been portrayed as a fucking saint because he played Steve Rogers, the literally perfect man.

Him and his PR team both wanted to ride that train as far as it would take them.

They thought it would take them to the end.

But him marrying someone who looks like a minor, SIXTEEN years his junior, who still portrays roles as a minor because she looks the part, who has clear racist behavior and affilations in her past? They did not anticipate that.

I do believe Chrissy-boo thought he had reached a level of untouchable, because of his dick-pic.

Babe. The pic wasn't that good. We don't excuse racism, fatphobia or anti-semitism just because we saw a mediocre peen.

As a "proclaimed feminist" you should know that. Your team should, too.

Now you're trying to rebuild by FIRST supporting Israel and NOW changing your stance because the US is being called out on the fact they're funding a genocide by Israel against Palestine?

No bueno. No bueno at all.

This man is toast.

Let him "thrive" in his little roles, looking like a cooked up who-knows-what. Between the veneers, wigs, and excessive amounts of botox, it will be just a few years before "fans" watch him in a movie without ever realizing he's playing the character in it.

He's over. He's been over for a while. He does not have the backbone or the talent to make a proper comeback. His current Razzie status should tell you all you need to know.

Why the fuck are people still supporting this racist actor-wannabe?

[bajablastirl]

>sees a minor posting fat characters

>they make a post saying its not fat fetish content

>call them stupid and a moron and a creep and somehow accuse them of welcoming fetish content when they unknowingly interacted with it and and and

>i am SO good at looking out for minors. i have saved someone from the clutches of the internet yet again. i am so mature like the adult i am. smh stupid minors

no but genuinely if you actually gave a shit about minors in (in this case unintentionally????) adult spaces youd understand insulting them wont help them leave?? what did you expect to happen? youre literally a grown ass adult. you are part of the problem. grow up.

and if you refuse to answer any of this and just make fun of me or call me stupid (as i expect you to do) youll just be further proving yourself as immature. razzy is being harrased over this and i know you dont give a shit, but you realize you aren't helping?

if you truly believed she was knowingly posting and interacting with fetish content why wouldnt you say "i hope she gets help" because if she was she would only be hurting herself, instead of just insulting her? genuinely, im asking, who the fuck do you think youre helping?

and again i know your kneejerk reaction to this is probably going to be to insult me or something for defending her since youve proved thats what you do to people who disagree with you, but hopefully someone else will see this and realize the shit youve been spewing is not okay.

i just itched my nuts so hard

they literally admitted to it being fat fetish content lol and if u see some of their ocs who are so fat theyre literally circles and cant walk and say “its just fat ocs” then ur genuinely delusional also idgaf im insulting her bc its fucking stupid lol boohoo

[its-to-the-death]

Bracket F thoughts:

Jesus flipping crisis, those fucking elephant calls in "Prowler's theme" are so terrifying. Also I really like how it's basically Miles' theme in reverse, both because of how it emphasizes the relationship between Miles and Aaron and because of...certain events in Across the Spiderverse.

"Candy Store" has that bitchy confidence, but "Mother Knows Best" is the emotional abuser's anthem par excellence. Like I could do a whole ask dissecting all the shit Gothel pulls in that one song to undermine and manipulate Rapunzel.

(She'd be one of my favorite Disney villains if she wasn't also a heaping pile of antisemitic stereotypes...)

I was liking "The Music of the Night," but then it tried to murder my ears with that organ(?) at the end, so I'll give this one to "What's Up Duloc?", which is also admittedly quite good.

One of these won the 1994 Razzie for Worst Original Song. The other is Rachel L Hughes playing a megalomaniacal dictator crooning about her space train (which she fucks) that definitely is not going to unleash Yog Sogoth ;). Vote for "Odin" right now.

"Dressed to Oppress" is delightful, but oh my god that reprise of "Good Kid" in "The Last Day of Summer" hits like a truck.

As people have discussed in the notes, "The Convoluted Reasons We Pretend to Be Divorced" is not that villainous--and frankly I didn't find it as much of a bop as some other PnF songs I've listened to. "We Both Reached For the Gun" is a masterclass is manipulation as Billy plays the press for suckers so completely he doesn't even need Roxy to speak for him by the end. Also the fucking puppet acting, wow.

...Ok it might not be the best villain song, but "Penny battle theme" goes so hard I had to support it. Sue me.

I voted "Someone Gets Hurt," but they're both great. That one was close.

"One-Winged Angel" is iconic and intimidating, but I personally prefer the energy of "Cell-Block Tango." The dancing is amazing, the lyrics are witty, and the chorus is an earworm and a half. I also like the use of visual symbolism with the red handkerchiefs to symbolize how each murderess killed her victim(s)--except the innocent Hungarian woman, who dances angelic ballet to their aggressive tango and is the only one with a white handkerchief.

Who doesn't love an unabashed villainess who destroys worlds in battle armor and sneakers? "I'm the Bad Guy" is a bop.

"Pieces of You" is a goofy and terrifying fever dream of a song, holy fuck. The visuals give this one the edge for me. Also, don't you want to support The Substitute? He's just a little guy :)

"A Freak Like Me Needs Company" ultimately just got kind of lost for me--it focused too much on villains in general and not on Norman himself, while "The Only Thing I Know For Real" is both a kickass rock song and a great piece of characterization for Jetstream Sam.

...I don't know, I like Zelena's actress' singing and I think it's funny that she's not cursed to sing in this episode and she's just doing this for shits and giggles. I voted "Wicked Always Wins."

To quote someone in the comments of the "Bloody Party/Welcome to Cake Island" video, "This is the most Disney-like bulshit [sic] I have ever seen in an anime, and I fucking love it." What the fuck is happening. Why are these people committing casual mass murder for cake ingredients. Why are inanimate objects singing along with this pirate lady. I don't know but it scares me.

"The Smell of Rebellion" really picks up in the end, and "Love For Peasants" felt a little too unfocused musically. Also, @thatsluttytiefling mentioned that the song gave them "war flashbacks to the choreo," so it is villainous IRL as well.

Oh my god how the fuck did "This is the Thanks I Get" get released in this state. The lyrics don't rhyme properly and are exceedingly awkward to boot. The chorus is bland as shit. The visuals are boring. There's no buildup from "I'm an underappreciated hero doing my best for the kingdom and nobody respects me enough :(" to "I want ULTIMATE POWAH through DAAAAAARK MAGIC" and then it suddenly just switches back to how it was before??? It's not intimidating and scary, it's silly for all the wrong reasons, it's not even particularly sympathetic, and it is reeking of trying to be hip and cool and/or being written by people with too little time and too few fucks to give. "Heaven on Their Minds" is very good in its own right, but I kind of already knew which one was better before I even heard it, because this song just...doesn't do its job.

I agree that the villain Phineas and Ferb songs aren't among the best the show has to offer.

Shoulder Buddies: Introduction pt. 2

TW relationship drama and discussion of sex.

Natalie (She/her)

Disclaimer (doubles as the master post)

“Really this is how we're starting our morning, again?” grumbled someone right in my ear.

“Good morning to you too, Lute.” I muttered.

“Jill’s door is closed, at least.” Charlie said from my other shoulder.

“At least if Crowley got ‘im, we wouldn’t keep having to chase the furry attention whore around all the time.” Lute grumbled

How is this my angel? I wondered, although I too was tired of chasing Peep around, but feeding him to my ex’s ball python seemed more than a little extreme.

“Seriously? Fuck you, Lute!” Charlie shouted at her, her horns showing up for half a second. Apparently she was a little on edge this morning. I made a mental note to check on her when I had a moment.

 “Enough you two.” I scolded, kneeling  down and looking under the couch.

I could see Tracey’s lavender hair almost directly across from me on the other side of the couch.

Man, is it dirty under here. Who’s turn is it to vacuu- or right, mine. It took me a minute to find him. It didn’t help that he kinda blended in, with his white back half almost looking like the dust bunnies, I needed to vacuum up, and his black front half blending in with the shadow. But I finally found the rascal. I thought that might just be able to reach his long pink tail. I made a grab for it.

He ran out from under the couch, and into my room.

“Dang it.” I shouted.

Charlie and Lute both made similar, although more colorful, exclamations.

“Gosh fucking dang it. You stupid rat.” Tracey practically growled, as they stood up.

We had just made it to the door when my pure cat, Azi, came out carrying a squirming Peep in her mouth like he was a naughty kitten, which I think is what she thinks he is. She padded over to Tracey, gave them a very unimpressed look, and dropped Peep at their feet.

Trace scooped up their rat up before he had a chance to run again. “Bad rat. Very, very naughty. You’re gonna give Mommy a heart attack. You know that? Gorrammit, you dumb ass rat.” Tracey chastised him, all the way back to their room.

Azi rubbed up against my legs, meowing.

I squatted down and pet her. “You're a good girl, aren't you? Such a good girl.”

“A very good girl.” Charlie agreed, jumping on Azi’s head and scratching her behind the ears. Charlie’s red suit made Azi’s already bright white fur, somehow, seem even whiter.

She purred as we pet her.

A moment later I stood up,  “Time for breakfast, Azi Razzi.” She padded behind me as I walked to the kitchen. Charlie, rode on Azi’s head. I pulled the cat food out of the cupboard under the sink, poured some in Azi’s bowl, and then finally set it on the pet food mat, next to the refrigerator. I checked to make sure the water bowl was still sufficiently full. It was. Then I washed my hands and got back to making breakfast for us humans.

“Charlie, are you doing okay?” I asked my demon, who was standing on Azi’s back, knee deep in white fur.

Charlie laughed in a very not okay way. “Not really.”

“No shit.” Lute said.

“Lute,” I said, “Shut up.”

“Charlie, what going on?”

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it. It’ll be fine.”

“Charlie-”

“It’s no big deal. Just a little blip. It’ll be fine.”

“Sure it will.” Lute taunted. “Her girlfriend lied to her.” Lute whispered.

Charlie is dating Robin’s shoulder angel Vaggie.

“Fuck you, Lute!” Charlie’s horns came out again.

“Okay, okay.” I interrupted, “Lute, she’s right, this doesn’t concern you.” I turned to Charlie, “Do you wanna talk?”

“Not yet.”

“Fair enough.” I poured the first pancake on the skillet.

Tracey, now dressed in their work uniform, a red and blue striped shirt and jeans, came back out of their room right about then. Emily had gotten her feathers in order too.

I heard Jill’s alarm go off.

I finished pouring the first batch. “Trace can you get the syrup and such on the table?” I have four skillets I use. The two big ones can fit two, or sometimes three pancakes, the others can fit one (I usually make about 3 batches).

“Sure.” Tracey answered

Charlie was quiet.

Emily suddenly appeared on my shoulder and gave Charlie a hug.

About midway through the second batch, I heard Jill’s door open.

“Morning, Jill.” I said, glancing up.

Stu, Jill’s mobility dog, was opening zier door.

Jill followed him, using zier crutches. “Morning, Nat.”

“Steph, still here?”

Jill’s face went red as a strawberry, as did the face of zier angel, Sir Pentious. “You heard us?”

“Yes.”

I saw Sir Pentious pull his hat down over his face.

“We both did. ” Tracey said.

Jill’s face went an even deeper red.

“I think the whole apartment complex did.” Lute muttered

I could sugge-” I heard Fizz start to say, right before Emily suddenly appeared behind him and clamped her hands over his mouth.

Jill didn't hear them.  Jill can only see and hear zier own shoulder buddies, which is more than most people can do. It’s kinda sad really.

But Sir Pentious heard Fizz and Lute. He flared his hood for a second, then coiled up so tight he was almost a perfect sphere.

Jill’s shoulder devil, Cherri Bomb, rolled her eyes, “Whatever, loser,” she said giving me an exasperated look. “Though I don't see how you think you can judge, as I recall you're not exactly quiet yourself.

 My face suddenly felt very hot.

Jill’s face went even redder.

Tracey turned and walked quickly back to their room. Smart choice.

I turned my focus back on breakfast, “You could’ve invited her to stay for breakfast.” I said, “After all you’re dating not hooking up.”

“Nat!” Charlie exclaimed.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Lute smirking.

“You just said you were mad I had her over.”

“First off, I did not say that.”

“You kinda did.” Lute snorted.

I ignored her, “I just said I could hear you.  Secondly, I’m still friends with both your dumb asses and, we‘ve been over this before, I don’t care that you’re dating, Steph. However, I don’t know many people who want to hear other people’s… activities, and I’ve dated, and slept, with you both, so it’s doubly awkward.” I flipped the pancakes.

“Prude.” Cherri scoffed.

“How am I being a prude?” I practically shouted back.

Jill jumped and zier blue eye’s got big. Ze knows I can see zier buddies, but I’m not usually this open about it with zier, because ze finds it a bit off putting.

“I am not into voyeurism, Cherri.” I continued, “And I don’t think not wanting to hear my exes bang each other is unreasonable.”

“We’ll try to be quieter going forward.”

“Thank you. That's all I'm asking.”

Cherri rolled her eyes and flipped me off.

Lute returned the gesture.

Charlie looked like she wanted to die, which was kinda how I felt too.

Their was an awkward silence, as Jill came into the kitchen and fed Stu.

“I’ll tell Tracey it's safe to come out now.” Using zier crutches Jill went over and knocked on Tracey’s door. “Coast is clear.” Ze joked, laughing awkwardly.

Part 1

[juneibyou]

sorry man but if i had past fuckups that cursed me with every wrong step towards a boundary turning into a full day of patronizing moral lessons from strangers i don't know on twitter then i would also just be giving the fuck up and saying shit all the time too. every time something kicks off w razzy it should at worst just be a private serious situation between people but instead her complaints manage to spin out into the world and reach the ears of 50 thousand generic furries appearing to fulfill a saviour complex. i get that mistakes have been and continue to be made, i get that the ban was reasonable, i get that she's not 100% Always In The Right Never Done Anything Wrong but jesus christ do any of you randos actually care about helping my fucking girlfriend recover from being groomed and developing poor boundaries because of it or do you just want to fight on twitter

[mithrilhearts]

OMG RAZZY YOU’RE WATCHING GOOD OMENS NOW???!!!!! FUCKING YAASSSSSSS AAHHHHHH I am so so so excited you have no idea!!! Come join me in the Ineffable Spouses brainroooottttt 😁😁😁

YES!!!!!!!! I am so slow when it comes to watching shows, but I finally finished season one, and tomorrow night I start season two! It's something me, my sister, and her husband started together, so we're trying to watch it whenever we all have the time.

I love dragging them into new fandom spaces lololol

BUT YEAH!!!! AZIRACROW, INEFFABLE HUSBANDS!! SPOUSES!!! WHATEVER!!

I'm ready for whatever ache season two is going to give me.

[jewishcissiekj]

I should be asleep but I have too many Ventress thoughts so listen

Been writing Asajj fics over the last few days and I have like so many feelings about it The way she's devoted to Dooku, the way she's always the last survivor, the way she never gives up, never dies is soooo There's smth very interesting about her self-image the way I view it, from Ky's hopeful Jedi Padawan (Asajj) to the person that slaughters his murderers to a servant of Dooku, his apprentice and a Sith assassin (Ventress) to the Nightsister to the bounty hunter to whatever the fuck Dark Disciple was to my thoughts about her (Asajj) I'm currently insane about shit I made up (Jedi AU, the Lattz Razzi/Asajj fic I'm currently writing, the wip of a painful walkthrough of her relation to Ky and the force) and it's inhabiting my brain in such a way I need a totj ep for asajj so bad

[embrace-the-mutation]

final bingo card. circles indicate too-close-to-call's. if you count the sheriff getting Thanos snapped by the Oni, we bingoed. also, if that weird shit between Malia and Parrish counts as....anything, then we bingoed again. bonus for the ridic "happy" ending cuz everyone was making out after Derek "died"

fam. this movie is Bad. hand it 59 razzies. it's just a nothin ass movie. everyone look dusty and their hair's uneven... Scott looks like he smells like weed and beer and wood chips. why does Malia still dress like she's 17? ISNT ALLISON TECHNICALLY STILL 17?? why did they punk out Lydia like that? Who exactly is Hikari? cuz she seemed dope but we get absolutely no backstory on her (like I know that's rewritten Kira, but damn. give the girl her own history). how come Deaton can't do rad druid magic stuff anymore? Makes sense in LA but not BH and also Melissa didn't do any rad emissary stuff either. idgaf about Eli like at all. hes a punkbitch. why is jackson there at all? all he do is be catty and eat. Derek was a bad father. how you gonna be raised with wolves and humans but not gonna clue in your kid about what he fucking is???? this movie wack it's just wack her pussy stank.

[daydreaming-memories]

[from biscord, probably will do the sin stuff l8r]

[Patch: 5 times about crow]

doing like 5 important things in my mind, this is for Crow

1. Eldritch being who can flip his shit on a dime, was created from a mad science experiment

2. He has a dead brother ghost (clark) who is practially older than him but often mistaken as his younger brother.

3. He is mainly MLM/Masc attracted, and often calls himself gay though he has had some feelings for those who weren't masc.

4. Can and will flip his switch at any time at the smallest thing, so he bfs usually hang with him to calm him down.

5. This man has like 15 boyfriends and his polycule just keeps growing.

6. Extra fact, he's one of the many ocs that have a bunch of spinoff ocs off of. and ngl I think he was originally inspired off Castiel.

[Justin: stuff about cell]

Cell was an experiment by godly beings to create the perfect ruler for his species, but was deemed faulty after various inhumane tests.

Luvin, X, Nyanxie and Gorgus were also apart of these tests though only Nyanxie and Gorgus really remember the times and also Cell.

He loves barbie movies and is shit at makeup, he taught himself. also painted his abuser's vechile BRIGHT SPARKLY barbie pink after stealing it.

if i were to give him 2 kins, Count Bleck from super paper mario and Megamind from megamind

[Justin: Limboheart info n grover insp]

FOR like absolutely no reason I got the grover inspiration, think I had recently heard more news about the new live action series based on percy jackson.

And I think it was also as a counter of his counterpart being a lion who was actually really tame/docile and limboheart was very aggressive and just violent.

but both are fucking insane ngl. Lionheart (counterpart) literally took a gunshot to the ankle and kept moving, and then basically seduced all the major crime bosses.

While limboheart is just a salty man because he hasn't confessed to his crushes.

[Patch 5 things baout clark]

1. Clark died from a deadly allergic reaction to cats, he still loves cats as a ghost and does not care

2. He looks like 10 usually, but he's actually an adult. It just feels weird to him generally to shapeshift into an adult, and when he does it's usually like his idol who has a ton of cats.

3. Clark will scare the living daylights out of anyone who hurts his family or those he considers family, but is also a prankster.

4. He loves being a trickster, and candy, even though he can't really eat he can and will steal candy.

5. He refuses to go into anyone's body, even if it's a robot or his own corpse. He doesn't like the feeling

6. If he didn't die, he would embarrass the hell out of his brother Crow around the other's crushes and probably would get oftenly in fights but in like a sibling way.

additions, Crow has a fondness for birds and is known for his pet Lucky the yellow and peach lovebird

And crow and clark 100% would adopt like any abandoned pet they find.

[Patch 5 for franmy]

1. He's gone through many changes, but he's half corruptin ; type of vaguely object species that can shapeshift into liquid and disappear in the shadows, and half ashen ; the object species of ashopia, in the original concept he was a petty man who didn't care about like anyone and was a spy, but now he blorbo

2. He has some ninetails/Kumiho inspiration, just like generally trickster fox spirit, also he has tattoos.

3. ITS not shown in the art with philip n pico but he actually has splatters/veritgo on his legs and arms plus body/face, two on his legs when looked straight on look like a heart together.

4. He has like 2 exes who are poptarts/strudels, which weren't the best. The one was with a woman who was honestly really toxic and borderline abusive to him, and the other was another poptart who had a chunk missing from her head. The two were engaged but things were broken up due to Razzy (poptart) originally using him for information on the corruptins, though they're slowly mending things.

5. He loves the shadows and collecting shells, and used to live in a cave though has upgraded to a house with the poly gang.

6. The ice powers were inspired by ninjago, and there's even an art piece inspired by the old ninjago intro, though there was no one inplace for Wu or Lloyd. But Franny was Zane which inspired his ice powers.

7. franny really hasn't had any major spinoff ocs, him and pico generally being tied in the main 5 poly gang members for having the least amount of characters that were spinoffs of these two. Also franny was the (unofficial) ashopia rep for poly gang, and Pico was the shape people rep, Retired was the l0s rep, Allie W was the Mlp ng rep (an old group).

[jaspers47]

As someone who makes lots of pointless lists, often about movies, I'd like to share an opinion.

This list is tonally all over the place. Some of it is dumping on Razzie caliber films. Some of it is calling out racist or sexist depictions. Some of it is general grievances at the Hollywood machine and the exploitation of filmmakers. And some of it is just fanboy rage.

It smells like an assignment that was dropped on Andy Greene's desk. He had no investment in it, and just Googled "Bad decisions, movies" and transcribed his findings. It was organized with such apathy, he was either wholly checked out and didn't give a fuck, or he knew doing an intentionally bad job would get people rage clicking. A malicious yet effective way to get notoriety and influence from an otherwise basic listicle. I'd believe either.

The big takeaway is: Stop giving Rolling Stone attention. I thought we agreed like 10 years ago they were toxic.

guys which is worse

[kmp78]

Is that TikTok moron seriously going to get a role in Tron??? What can she possibly bring to that film. It just proves what an amateur production this is. That director must be a big a dingdong as his wife. Lordy is a fucking fool, no wonder people don't take him seriously.

A leading man who ruins the movies he leads, a random bunch of B/C list co-actors, a cringe Tiktok twat and a director with zero clout except if we ask his wife.

Just give them the Razzies already. 😂

[pascalispunkhq-saved]

Sandy: Oh, man, are you in for a treat. There’s nothing like a movie called Speed about a very slow boat, am I right? Take away Keanu who was the charm of the first one and you have a real blockbuster hit.

Sandy: Unknown character? That’s brutal. You’d better play your cards right or they’re going to unknown character you for your entire career. Rotten Tomatoes holds too much power.

Sandy: He can come home when he apologizes. If he dares mention the Razzie on the shelf he’s gone again.

( sms 📲 ) Wait the boat had to go SLOW? Well here I was imagining a boat that had to go really fucking fast through the ocean. New York to Portugal in 3 hours kinda fast. Everyone's faces looking like their mom tied their hair too tight on picture day from the G force. Annie like 'Man next time I need to go somewhere I'll just use my godgiven legs I'm sick of this shit'. ( sms 📲 ) Right?! His name was Dieter, he took a lot of drugs and was an excellent dancer. He was an actor and the character he played in the movie they were shooting had a very questionable accent. Sometimes when I'm not thinking about anything else, I get Dieter in my head yelling "But how does he fly? He has no feathers?" ( sms 📲 ) It's only powerful if we give it power. What does Hermione say in Harry Potter "Fear of the name only increases fear of the thing itself" I did win a Golden Tomato for Wonder Woman though so for legal reasons I love Rotten Tomatoes and it's contributions to the film and TV industry ✨ ( sms 📲 ) Stop I'm gonna pee. Give it to him to defend himself against the Clickers.

[kay-oc-rambles]

Rethinking the Cas x Harvey time loop AU bc I just unlocked Rasmodius's spell book thing in game & was reminded of that expensive fucking clock & if you know me, you know I love clocks. Also maybe instead of having it as an AU, it can be a whole story arc (not that I'm actually writing a fic of this, I just figured why not have it be part of Cas's canon).

Also I read this fic last night that doesn't technically mention the clock itself, but rather as a spell that Rasmodius casts & I think Cas would also be able to convince ol' Razzy to give her a discount on it.

Also also, this turned out SUPER long because I went a little more in depth than I originally intended.

(Sidenote that I'm considering starting a fresh file for Cas to help nail down the timeline for her story)

If you've read/watched D. Gray-Man, Miranda Lotto is my favorite character & I might have this AU take some inspiration from the Rewinding Town arc in that maybe the curse doesn't just make Cas relive the move to the farm over & over, but make it so that outside the town, time goes on normally.

So anyway, Cas & Harvey are already dating by the time Rasmodius asks Cas to go get the ink for him. She manages to do it without running into his ex (who I think I'm gonna call Esmerelda). He grants her access to one of his spell books. She of course looks through it immediately. The Junimo Hut could be nice (especially since she kinda misses seeing them around the Community Center). She doesn't mind making warp totems & would probably still use them if she had the obelisks (sometimes you're on the mountain & are like "shit, I needed to go to the beach", having a big ass obelisk on the farm is less convenient than having a few little totems on hand).

The clock fascinates her. "You can really make something like that?" She asks. He says "For the right price" and points to the listed price. She nearly chokes.

"Seriously? I mean, I get that you're essentially stopping time for like, specific things on the farm, but ten million??? It would take YEARS for me to save up that much money!"

She manages to talk him down to 100,000 gold, 100 solar & void essences each, 10 iridium bars, 5 prismatic jellies, and 100 gold bars.

It takes her a couple of weeks to get it all together but it's winter so she has a greenhouse full of ancient fruit plants, a few silos full of hay, and plenty of time to go into the mines. At some point during this though is when she realizes she wants to marry Harvey so she gets Rasmodius's help in making a rain totem that guarantees the following day will rain. (Upon looking at the wiki I guess it can technically be used in the winter but I like the idea of her having to wait a little, build up some anticipation, y'know?)

The gold clock gets made on the last day of Winter, when she also uses the rain totem. The following day, Cas does the whole thing where she shoots out of bed and barely remembers to throw on some proper clothes before she gets a totem out of her bag & warps to the beach to buy a mermaid pendant off of the old mariner. She runs over to the clinic (in the rain, she didn't even grab an umbrella or raincoat). It's not open yet & she left her phone, keys, & bag at home. She considers whether she should run home to grab her keys, or just hope Harvey is awake to hear her banging on the door (and that Pierre doesn't complain about hearing her battering down the clinic door at 7 in the morning).

When Harvey wakes up to hear the banging he rushes down thinking that there's an emergency (he wonders if Cas spent the previous night in the mines & was once again found passed out & injured, even though she swears up & down that she's more careful than she used to be & it's been a while since it happened). He opens the front door to find her standing there soaking wet and grinning from ear to ear.

"Are you okay-" he starts but Cas leaps forward to kiss him, knocking him a step back & soaking the front of his pajamas. When they part, Cas looks at him and she planned to just ask him straight away but she's just lovestruck and can't seem to get the words out at first. He asks what's going on, did something happen? She shakes her head, still grinning, and slowly opens up her hand that had been holding the pendant the whole time (it's a miracle she didn't drop it or crush it when she lept into his arms).

"Doctor Harvey Emerson, will you marry me?"

Of course he says yes, they kiss again. Harvey says something about Cas still dripping water on the clinic floor and urges her up into the apartment to take a warm shower (she didn't even realize how much she was shivering until he pointed it out) and dry off.

If Cas had it her way, they'd go have Lewis marry them that day, but Harvey convinces her to at least take a couple days to plan the wedding.

(It comes up that Cas doesn't really have any relatives to invite; she has no siblings or cousins, she never knew her father and her mother dying is part of what motivated her to quit Joja, which had basically taken up her whole life so she didn't really have any friends while working there.)

Meanwhile, Esmerelda is cooking up a plan. Her henchman told her what happened (to which she responded by turning him into a void chicken). She spies on Cas and Stardrop Farm, sees the gold clock and Cas planning the wedding with Harvey.

The day of the wedding, everybody including Rasmodius (who walks Cas down the aisle) in attendance, Esmerelda steals the gold clock to take back to her home and use it as the medium for a time loop curse. By the time Cas and Harvey come home it's been a long day and they don't notice that the clock is missing.

The next morning, everybody wakes up and it's the first day of spring, the first year Cas moved to the valley.

Cas wakes up at the bus stop with her bags, more confused than she's ever been in her life.

The first thing she does after making Robin think she's absolutely insane is go to Rasmodius's tower, but it's locked. Despite her pounding on the door hollering for him to open it, he doesn't answer. She decides to go into town, and when she comes across Lewis, he takes her to the community center. She's relieved when she finds that she can still read the golden scroll.

She heads to the clinic. Part of her knows that since so far no one seems to remember her, it's unlikely that Harvey will, but she hopes.

And he doesn't.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Harvey, the local doctor. I perform regular check-ups and medical procedures for all the residents of Pelican Town. It's rewarding work. I hope you'll find your own work equally rewarding, in time." He says, just like the first time she met him. Her heart drops. She looks so suddenly pained that it concerns Harvey but she just tells him "I'm fine, it was... it was nice meeting you too" and leaves, heading back to the farm & plopping facedown on her bed. It's barely noon and she's already exhausted. She wonders if this is all a nightmare, or worse, that the past couple years were only a dream.

Ever the busy body though, she can't just lay around moping all day so she gets up and starts planting the parsnip seeds Lewis gave her. By the time she's done tilling and planting them it's close to 4 and she has no food. She drags herself into town to visit the saloon so she can finally eat for the first time that day. On her way home she forages a bit so she has something to eat the next morning.

When she receives Rasmodius's letter the next day, she rushes to water the parsnips and head out to the tower.

There's the whole thing where she tries to tell him that something is wrong, she's lived on Stardop Farm for a couple years but the day after she married Harvey she woke up and the town was back to day 1. He thinks she's fucking insane and when she starts getting riled up he straight up teleports her out of the tower & locks the door.

It takes a few days before Cas resigns herself to the belief that everything before was just a dream. It felt so real, more vivid than any other dream, but she doesn't have much of a choice. Things go on like normal but with a dull ache underlying every interaction with the people she came to know as dear friends. She falls in love with Harvey all over again. This time she marries him before completing the Community Center (before Rasmodius thinks to have her steal the magic ink). She lives through the happiest day of her life for the second time... and wake up the next morning at the bus stop.

She tries not to freak Robin out this time. She tries to act normal. Plants the parsnips, heads into town, visits the Community Center, stops by the saloon to pick up some food. On her way home, she overhears Jodi talking about how surprised she is that Kent is home so much earlier than expected. He was acting weird, but she figures it's just because of the war. Given a spark of hope that *somebody* remembers the previous years, she visits 1 Willow Lane.

Kent, having not been anywhere near the valley when Cas first moved in, is apparently immune to the time loop induced amnesia affecting the rest of the town. Like Cas, the first time it happened he thought it was a fluke, just his war traumatized brain playing tricks on him, but this time, one day he's attending Cas & Harvey's wedding in the middle of fall and the next is the first day of spring. After some convincing, he agrees to go with her to the wizard's tower tomorrow. Hopefully, with Kent, they can convince Rasmodius that something really weird is happening.

Cas is much calmer meeting Rasmodius this time and in addition to Kent's testimony, Cas tells Rasmodius everything she knows about him and the rest of the town (at this point she has the Community Center bundles memorized), including Esmerelda having his magic ink.

Rasmodius isn't quite sure what to make of it all, but Cas seems genuine so he agrees to look into it. They come to the conclusion that it is no coincidence that both resets happened right after Cas married Harvey, and if Cas really did sneak into Esmerelda's home then it makes sense that it was caused by Esmerelda & that Cas is the focus of the curse.

(Kent finds all the magic talk to be confusing and overwhelming, so the trio agrees that while Cas will keep him in the loop, he should focus on reconnecting with his family while Cas helps Rasmodius figure out how to break the curse)

It is also agreed that until it's broken, Cas cannot marry Harvey. Despite this, Cas goes home that night filled with hope that with Rasmodius on her side everything will be back to normal in no time.

It takes some time, a lot of trial & error, before Rasmodius comes to the conclusion that they have no choice but to confront Esmerelda.

Rasmodius insists that he do it alone, as who knows what Esmerelda will do to Cas.

Cas also figures that they're close enough to breaking the curse that she can at least give Harvey a bouquet.

At Esmerelda's home, she & Rasmodius have a confrontation that escalates pretty quickly. Ras also notices the gold clock. Just when Rasmodius thinks he has Esmerelda cornered, she forces a reset.

Cas wakes up at the bus stop. She throws her bags and kicks her luggage in frustration. She's crying when Robin comes up to take her to the farm. She tells Robin that things just haven't been going well for her lately and she didn't get much rest last night.

She goes through what is becoming a routine: parsnips, Community Center, Kent. She tells Kent that she isn't sure what happened, she didn't marry Harvey yesterday but she did give him a bouquet. She tells him that Rasmodius went to confront Esmerelda, something probably happened. Once again they go to the tower the next day to tell him what's going on.

I'm kinda running out of steam so I'm gonna try to wrap this up.

At some point, whether it's in the current loop or if it takes another reset or two, they figure out that the clock is the medium and they need to both kill Esmerelda AND destroy the clock, but Rasmodius & Cas both have to be present to destroy it (because Rasmodius made the clock, and not only was it made for Cas but the curse is centered on her).

Also at some point in one of the loops, Cas got the bus repaired and found that time outside of the valley has gone on normally. Sandy & Mr. Qi had been wondering why they hadn't seen Cas in quite a while, but when Mr. Qi tried to visit, something prevented him from entering the town. Word has spread around that something is up with the town because the merchants that come around for special events have been thrown way off schedule.

Anyway, the curse gets broken, and all the memories from the loops come rushing back to the citizens of Pelican Town & time catches up with the rest of the world (causing a mass migraine event & ruining all of Cas's crops).

Cas & Harvey get married & live happily ever after, the end.

And about ep 7

I know why Ed is throwing away his blackbeard clothes but I really hope (and think) we'll see them again. Because I love the leather look okay- but you do what you need to do

"It's a piece of twine. i panicked" Ed you're a weird man. Adorable but weird.

I'm just gonna say, for a man ridding himself of his past and moving on with it, and having breakfast with his lover in bed, Ed feels really. Calm and not as happy as I'd expect him to. Man's clinically depressed.

Ed just wants them to have a safe life, hoping for no more Near Death situations. Stede scoffs at it, not in this line of work. Stede is fully getting into pirating and Ed isn't thrilled

Izzy continues to be the funniest fucker. "Hiya, boys."

Noteworthy that he looks at Stede while adressing as "captain", not Ed. Unimaginable in season 1. Also the "Congrats on getting laid" HKJSHJK

Mean, considering he confessed his love and you shot him down, but okay. not gonna lie, if i was Izzy I wouldn't be as good spirited lmao

Prince delivering a clock to every of Zheng's ships. Considering what happens later... fuck this guy, very very much.

"ZHENG! HEY GIRL! What up?!" I love Archie a lot actually

Ed going "Everyone around here knows me", and a group of... groupies I guess appears and he is all "Yeah, I'll give you an autograph later if you want" but they don't even know who he is and are stanning Stede instead. BIG L MOMENT, cringe lmao

#OFFENDED

Stede's squeak. "we didn't pay!!" ghjkdfshjk this guy

Stede getting a free drink from one of the pirate's at the bar and Ed interfering with a "Thanks mate" and I can't tell if he's being a possessive bastard who doesn't want strangers to gift his boyfriend drinks, or if he's offended he isnt being gifted anything as the famous blackbeard. He threw away his Blackbeard get up but somehow I am not sure he is entirely happy with not being recognized as Blackbeard anymore. Talk about identity crisis

"People have your face tattooed on their body??" "Not just my face" EXCUSE ME????

Im gonna be real, i really loved this paper-razzi bit, i thought it was hilarious and I laughed out loud like an idiot. The frantic scribbling is me as I draw my faves.

Swede!!!!! We see him again and he is hot, and I am glad Lucius acknowledges that for the audience

Financial scheme Frenchie strikes again

Even Swede being like HUH? when he sees Ed. It's like they swapped. Stede in leathers is now mucho caliente and Ed. Well he's still handsome, but his whole vibe and expression are gone. He's just. A shadow

Gotta be honest, i wasn't interested in olu and Zheng romance before but they kinda grew on me now. poor Olu.... Love Jim advocating for him, although I'm also t.t about the JimOlu romance

This man looks so lost and far away, i swear.

I think Izzy deserves teasing his ex-captain, as a treat lol

"Saw you throw away your leathers" "course you did" like he knows Izzy is always weasling around and watching his every move still

"How did it feel" "Fucking great" not sure if he's annoyed by Izzy asking, or being sarcastic, or trying to convince himself and the world... but he turns to Izzy as if he challenges him to say something against it. But Izzy changed. He just shrugs and tells him to basically do what his heart tells him.

Stede so wrapped up in being a cool pirate, he doesn't even notice Ed hasn't been around him in a while

Ngl I am shocked at how casually he snapped a cigarette at the intruder and set him on fire. It's concerning. There is a difference between revenging your crew and casual cruelty to impres some strangers

Stede being all happy about his day and Ed being. ABsolutely not happy reminds me of season one when Ed was elated during Calico Jack's visit and Stede hated every minute of it. Role reversal.

Probably unpopular opinion, but i didn't like how Ed and Stede fell into bed, because they talked about going slow and they absolutely didn't. And as much as I'm mostly bitter towards Ed I'm giving him credit for speaking up about how they moved too fast, and he isn't ready.

"I don't even know who I am" Yeah, Identity crisis. He threw away the blackbeard persona, but who is he udnerneath? Honestly I think he would benefit to talking to his former first mate, who let go of his first mate role and is discovering who he is as a person. I really think they should talk about that :)) Considering they both built blackbeard together and blakcbeard has been stripped from their identities.

"I'm not panicking! here's the news, I'm leaving" yeah not a panicked reaction at all smh. You know you could have talked to your boyfriend at least

Oh bby :( Once again, can't help but notice the role reversal, where Stede took the coward's route in season one and ran away. Now it's Ed's turn

The crew making money. feeney doing tattoos of Stede on someone's back hskjdfh

Stede sitting in the VIP lounge

"VIPs only" *izzy just stares at the large man* "Oh. Mr Hands" because he is a VIP here too dfkjkdf What kinda name is Steak Knife even "Fuck off a minute." "fucking off, sir" Izzy commands the VIP room hsdkajl everyone knows him and defers to him, I love it. Which again makes me think that Izzy kept up the ruffian image of Blackbeard and his crew. He is well known and respected. No wonder he was so out of sorts ins eason 1 where no one respected him

Izzy sent the men away so Stede and he could talk in privacy. Because this is a private topic. Also Stede expected Izzy to be joyous that Ed left him, but no. Izzy admits that Stede is good for Ed.

Izzy's old man grunt as he sits down hsdjkfh

I wanna unpack that for a bit. Tragicness of the comparison aside how Ed reacts to Stede vs how Ed reacted to Izzy-- Izzy just casually admitted he loves Edward and that he told him so. And what baffles me even more is how Stede does not seem surprised? Like maybe he guessed the love thing, but I wonder if Ed told him because otherwise he couldnt have known. "He's a complicated man." And Izzy just sounds so knowing. And the way he just looks at stede, and stede looks back at him and gives him this fond little stede smile... they're bonding over their love for a complicated man. Also I need Izzy and Stede to make out, but that's beside the point--

One break up, one make up. Olu and Zheng are cute (dread of knowing what happens incoming)

izzy being like "if you stay here much longer, you're gonna end up on the wrong side of a sword" and then stede did. Loved the protective mode though

I love that Olu tries to drag his friends with them but i'm also :/ at the prospect of the crew disbanding just like that, so I kinda understand Stede intervening. this is his crew, and he has to stop this, but also... oooh this is gonna be bad

i love how the moment stede puts his hand on his sword the camera cuts to izzy's reaction deliberately. they want you to know he's reacting to this and he's not liking what happens

Love the way Zheng taunts Stede "Did your boyfriend leave you already again?" and she has every right because stede basically used her and wrecked her ship to get to said boyfriend. but the way she goes "Oh shit, really?" absolutely sends me lol. She did not actually expect that. oops

Steak Knife: I got this, boss. *this big imposing man steps in front of the queen* ".... that was really mean" I laughed out loud

Zheng fucking obliterates him with a few jabs on his chest and I love the way Izzy's eyebrows climb higehr and higher because yeah same. she is terrifying. love that for her. Rip steak knife :(

Bonnet draws his sword and Izzy just goes "Oh, Bonnet, no." and it reminds me of season 1 where Izzy drew his sword and Edward went all "No, don't do that-" because in this moment he cannot intervene anymore, he cannot save Stede from this. Ikarus is flying too far to the sun.

mhhhhhhhh queen :)))))))))))

cringe stede moment where he misses, archie behaving like a frat bro. Then archie gets bottled and Jim jumps in to revenge their girlfriend. BAR FIGHT TIME

"TWAT" *chair*

everyone looking at stede and praying he gives up. me, im everyone. stede please give up, you arent quite there yet

MERCI.... BEAUCOUP *throws a little dirt into nowhere

thats my reaction

zheng enjoyed paddling Stede far too much lol. She loves playing with her food. but aslo she has a soft spot for him still, or else she would have done him serious harm already. Zheng.... :(

First he rship got wrecked, and then her whole fleet gets wrecked. And i swear if Zheng got killed by the stray cannon ball im gonna be mad because she deserves better. Until we hear confirmation I believe she lives and teams up with Stede against the Minor Prince

tender fingies :( love Fang and Roach just going out for a bit of self-care. that's what i'm gonna do now too-

Anyway I havent watched any trailer for the next time, so i can only speculate. Ed will come back. I think I saw him in his leathers again in some other trailer so I guess he will get back his armor to protect stede. until then i wouldn't mind izzy stepping in to protect

wink wonk ;) but yeah. curious where the journey will take us in the last episodes, since everybody seems to go on a journey to figure out their identity and I am curious where we will end up

Watched OFMD, I have thoughts and feelings, and here be my outlet, whoopee. Spoilers, livewatching ramblings and screenshots ahead

Oh yeah Izzy focus, because I am me :)

Ep 6:

The episode had a villain of the day and I thought that was funny. Just some random guy who got jealous because Ed broke a record jkfhjk. Chill out, man

I've wanted Ed and Izzy to talk again for episodes but -

Bro, he confessed his love to you and you shot him down like a dog. Then knowing he loves you, you wanted him to end your life, which he refused. He tried to end his life instead, stripped of all meaning in life. You do not fucking get to be snappy with him, you were supposed to be the first one to talk,. Yes I am bitter, shut up- Kudos for Izzy being the bigger man (heh).

The drinking issues continue, i see :( "I thought you were Roach" hjkdfhkjl sur

Well, he managed to say the word Sorry at least, that's more than the crew got. I know he is working on the apologizing but. Oof man, it still needs work.

fucking love the crew but especially Archie, I think she's a great addition. Just good chaos. Also lmao Roach

Fang is so precious to me, you do not understand-

Everybody: AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEE CALYPSO BIRTHDAAAY

Everybody is just adressing Stede as their captain. Frenchie's eyes nervously flick to Ed from time to time though. Ed just heaves in annoyance. This guy really just hates his life atm. He's the most disconnected from the crew, like they tolerate him but his only social contact is Stede basically. And somewhat Izzy. Speaking of, it feels like a role reversal to season 1 where Izzy was the one kind of isolated on board

idk why but the way he said "that"Oh." absolutely made me lose it- What emotion was that. Nobody nose

Ed, seeing two kids: "Here's a lot of money. Also here's a knife. Stab anyone who gets close to the money" Me: he'd be a great dad-

idk just LOOK at her, ugh. QUEEEEEEN

Love Feeney for having that idea. Love Izzy listening to this and thinking "...you can just. do this?" and then picturing himself like that next to feeney. We love the self-discovery and self-expression

I just love them, your honor <3

He absolutely fucking killed it man and I need to look at ref pics to draw this because holy shit what a look

my favorite guy and his two support pals <3

Love the way Stede's face goes from "ehh...?????" to "awww..." within seconds. Love the way Fang starts clapping immediately after like one Note of singing (honestly same) Love Izzy just casually grabbing for Calypso/feeney's hand and turning the whole boat into his stage. You stole the thunder you little drama queen. But man he can SING T_T it's so soft..... and a love song....

The throuple hugging..... and also wth Fang and Roach have going on. I love the crew....

And the wonderful singing gets interrupted by... Cannonball and torture!!

OK Ed stepping in front of stede to shield him is cute

Ed continues to look annoyed and pissed off at everything that is happening in his life. Fair enough, I mean he wants to leave the pirate life behind but his pirate life keeps catching up with him

"Struck a chord" haha music pun

Roach laughing "I dont think the torture has begun yet :D :D :D" are you okay, my guy hsdjkhsdjkl???

*they're about to be tortured* Izzy: "It's just gonna turn me on." Ffs Izzy you little freak lmao

Lucius and Pete celebrating their honeymoon for a whole day, that is. impressive and lowkey concerning hjkshdjk

this was just. a nice frame. okay-

This season has a really mixed vibe inbetween funny and dark. Like, this ep is very artsy but they're also being tortured, i almost felt like I was watching a bit of Hannibal

If you think I am going to make this about Izzy, you are absolutely right!!! (I guess Ned and Maggie are Captain and first mate too, so I am definitely drawing the parallels) Because I think most of the issues between Ed and Izzy stem from Ed seeing him only as his First Mate and not Izzy, to the point where Izzy wasn't a person anymore. And now that Ed doesn't want to be a pirate anymore, the First Mate following around is a thorn in his side, and he fails to see the loyal friend underneath the front of the First Mate

Live Mutiny reaction

Ned not caring about whether Maggie dies, because she deserves death if she can't do her job (tie a proper tie). Yeah I am thinking about Ed shooting down Izzy and replacing him immediately. "You're mercenaries, you don't have feelings." Yeah, hm.

Stede is an absolute handsome charmer in this season, I gotta say.

Izzy absolutely flinching in panic as LuPete kick in the door. My man has PTSD (like the rest of the BB crew probably)

"We got engaged" Everyone: Awwwww :)

Ned: "You used to be a killer" Hm not so sure about that. Not the way everyone thinks at least. I am actually not sure if Edward ever killed anyone after his dad and the one person during the raid. His flashbacks were of these two murders at least (and the almost murder of izzy) so I am guessing there weren't anymore off screen murders?

Ed giving absolute zero shits about Ned's taunting, but Stede steps in, my man is manning up.

I find the difference between Ed and Stede so fascinating. Ed, who feels like his whole life went downhill after he killed and who wants to run from his life as a pirate, versus Stede who has been taunted for being weak, who wants to prove his strength and become a proper pirate. They are progressing in opposite ways.

"See, that's why he likes you. Because of your bumbling amateur status" I wonder if Ed feels like he corrupted Stede, sort of like Stede was afraid he ruined Edward at the end of season 1.

Izzy the killer being like "Give him a minute. First kill is always a mindfuck." and Edward going to check on Stede anyway, makes me wonder when Izzy first killed. If it was for Edward or if it was on his own. And if it was for Edward, if he checked on him, because I think probably not. And judging by the way Izzy stares into nothingness as Ed goes to check on Stede... yeah, no.

EMOTIONALLY LOADED KISS AGAINST THE WALL!!!!!!!!!! hell llloo

Can't help but feel sad tho with Izzy continuing his love serenade as Stede and Ed make out. Singing about how "It's only him for me, and me for him for life. He told me, he swore to me, for life." while the guy you're in love with is hooking up with another. I swear if the ring he wears around his tie was a promise form Ed I'm gonna be so devastated, I really really hope it isnt. :')

Fingie sand footsies gdfgjh LET'S FUCKING PARTAAAAAY

OK will continue in another post for episode 7 because I can't post so many pictures
