#glup shitto moment

[scribl1ta]

☆Get to know me☆

Thank you so much @zaegreus for tagging me!!

last song: ANASAINO KAI ZALIZOMAI by LILA (listening to my spotify radio while typing)

favorite color: emerald green

currently watching: The Sopranos and Drag Race

currently reading: nothinggg😝I need to go buy the next Daughters of Rome book which has Hadrian and Antinous in it

last movie: I watched Juliet of the Spirits last night and it's probably the greatest movie I've ever seen just in the quality and beauty of the storytelling and production. Most of all there is a whimsy in this film many of us modern viewers could use in our lives. I highly recommend it

first ship: I had a very serious OC x canon Clone Wars ship as a middle schooler, and my first canon ship was Jango Fett x Zam Wessel

three ships: Socrates/Alcibiades, Hadrian/Antinous, Scintilla/Fortunata

current obsession: Idk if I have any new ones :(( the closest would probably be that I bought a bunch of lobby cards for Polidoro's Satyricon on ebay for my holiday gift to my self and I am really excited even though I don't really know what to do with them. I took photos to post here soon💗

relationship status: complicated (?)

last thing i googled: roman gladiator reenactment for reference images #soon‼️

tagging @illegible-scribble, @emperornero, and @headsinsand!! no pressure to do it and anybody else who sees this post is welcome to participate!

watching the american horror story spinoff because horror anthologies (no matter the quality) are my weakness and its honestly so funny without the context of having watched the original series…..like its 99% original standalone story but they keep putting in moments with characters the audience is clearly supposed to recognize and have a big reaction to like slow pan music building up everything and its just a person i have never seen before in my life. just some guy

cr fans will watch tlovm and lose their minds every 10 seconds over a collection of 6 pixels in the background of a shot or a bit of barely audible dialogue because its a reference to deeplore #46527 and i love it. one of these episodes cassandras gonna offhandedly mention someone named andrew and people will immediately go GUYS HOLY SHIT WHITESTONE ANDY IS IN TLOVM

I love it when a tumblr MOMENT happens. Goncharov. November 5th. Eeby deeby/plinko/scrunglo/glup shitto/blorbo day. I love when an EVENT happens on here and I get to witness it. It feels exclusive

The loud scream I let out when everybody appeared in the new episode. Truly my glup shitto moment.

911 bringing back Lola and Norman from the highway as Bobby and Athena’s tablemates on their cruise is my Glup Shitto moment

[olivine-gal]

DS9 is the only series that could make me do a Glup Shitto moment, if I found out Lower Decks had a Natima Lang reference or Yelgrun cameo I'd be hollering and hooting like a fool

Season 1 of The Acolyte is over and I have some thoughts. A lot of thoughts, actually.

Acolyte spoilers below

What a weird show

I ultimately end up feeling the same way I did early on; it's a pretty average show with some great action held back by clunky dialogue, poor pacing, and several fairly dull characters.

And, I could probably leave it there, but I feel like that would ignore a lot of the most interesting elements.

Some of the show's best moments and emotional beats are centered around the character of Master Sol and his death and posthumous betrayal works really, really well. It's probably the most effective thing in the show and gave some genuine pathos to the last episode.

Osha and Mae swapping roles - something started in episode 5 - was also a compelling direction for the show.

Osha's fall to the dark side feels very unique compared to some we've seen before and I think it's because the show positions the Jedi as the antagonists in the end.

It's not framed as tragic, it's framed as brave and almost righteous in a twisted way. As though she's finally becoming who she was really meant to be.

But, you can't really talk about Osha and Qimir without talking about the Reylo sized elephant in the room...

The sequel trilogy had lightning in a fucking bottle with these two. Their chemistry is unreal and the pining, longing glances sell you on the enemies to lovers direction they were moving in.

In the end, Reylo sort of fizzled out with TRoS being unwilling to fully commit to, well, much of anything. But, the Reylo fandom was, and still is, massive.

With The Acolyte, Leslye Headland appears to be trying to capitalize on that kind of dynamic and it's just nowhere near as compelling.

Part of that is the lack of tension between them. Qimir feels so toothless compared to Kylo. Rey and Kylo push against one another. There's hostility, fear, and even some spite.

But, Qimir is just there to facilitate Osha's story. He doesn't feel like an independent actor playing off Osha in an interesting way.

Their dynamic feels like a sanitized and sanded down version of Reylo without any of rough edges that actually made Reylo compelling.

Finally, there's the Glup Shitto of it all.

So, somebody who looks an awful lot like Legends Darth Plagueis shows up for five seconds and I imagine that's going to be the biggest point of discussion online.

It's hilarious because he's just sort of there, poking his head around the corner like he's part of the goddamn Scooby gang.

My initial prediction was that Qimir was going to be revealed to be a Knight of Ren (Kylo's theme can be heard when he shows up), but now I'm wondering if he is, in fact, being trained by Plagueis.

Perhaps he and Osha will break away from Plagueis in season 2 and create the Knights of Ren, but that's assuming we get a season 2.

The response to this show has been disgusting from the beginning. Just mountains of idiots who hate anything with diversity and go out of their way to read everything in the most bad faith way possible.

I don't even think the show is all that great, but it's not because there are women and people of color in it.

It's kind of ironic then that this show, in a lot of ways, gives that crowd exactly what they've always wanted - over the top saber action, high fantasy Jedi/Force stuff, and Darth Plagueis.

I guess we'll see if they change their tune or if their whinging is enough to prevent a season 2 from being greenlit, because I honestly think the show deserves to keep going, even if I think it's pretty far from perfect.

My partner knows what I’m talking about and I speak on both of our behalves when I say this:

I love Bad Ash and I wish we saw him more. And no, not Evil Ash, but BAD Ash. Like, for the minutes we saw him before he was shot and dismembered and got all demonic and stuff, because after that his personality completely changed. Before that he was so silly, so goober. A little chaos gremlin. Just came off as more playful-but-too-rough as opposed to genuinely violent. Like, would he have ACTUALLY killed Ash at that moment? Nah, he was just goofin off, being a little menace. He did a lil dance and was baby. He’s my glup shitto and I love him. Why like half of his scene was removed from most versions is beyond me because this is SILLY LITTLE GUY ERASURE. I will forever defend the unhinged fella.

Just look at him, is that not a top 10 goobie woobie or what?
