#i don't even hate curtis bc what's there to hate honestly he's just a chill dude he just came out of nowhere just to be wifed

[pan-withnoplan]

No because y'all weren't kidding when you said season 8 was awful

[safyresky]

I am once again asking if tscs even knows what pacing is

Episode 4 once again has my brain itching and not in a good way. I'm so infuriated and also perplexed and also very much just. What?? Did I just watch????

Part of me is like "Man, maybe I should stop watching this show. I dislike it it. Every episode takes down my hp permanently. my brain KEEPS ITCHING AND YOU CAN'T SCRATCH YOUR BRAIN WITH YOUR FINGERS UNLESS YOU DO SOME QUESTIONABLE SHIT THAT WOULD GET A MEDICAL LICENCE REVOKED!!!!" and the other part of me is like "You know what's fun? Getting angry while also still wondering if perhaps it will get better!"

SURVEY SAYS. IT AIN'T GETTING ANY BETTER FOLKS!

I don't even know WHERE to begin, so I'm just gonna point form this bitch and see what happens (chaos I imagine)

UM. CURTIS EXPLODED????

I REMEMBER READING THAT IN A FIC SOMEWHERE and I can't remember what fic it was, but the OC that was the head elf before Bernard exploded into confetti bc of stress. I gotta find that fic again.

BUT UM. CURTIS-ITIS??? WHAT A WAY TO GET WRITTEN OFF THE SHOW. KINDA SAD FOR THE LIL GUY, HE WAS STRESSED BUT DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE EXPLODED ):

Hey. Don't cry, don't cry. I have a list of misdemeanours Scott has done that would surely get him in trouble with the Council. Wanna see it?

YOU'RE GONNA.

Based on really shitty math that I did NOT fact check, about 2 billion counts of exposing the SOS (giving snow globes to all the families that celebrate Christmas to rejuvenate Christmas magic, that HAS to go against magical secrecy things)

Turning EB into a BB. Yes, Sandra did it, but given the "family business" angle...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(one count of Legend-napping?)

Breaking into EB's house

Stealing his basket of tricks

Taking over his holiday and not telling the Council

Using Legendary Figure's powers on and against them

Lying. So much LYING.

So that's about 2 billion and 5? Ish? Penalties?

HMMM.

In Jack voice: I commit 273 acts of upstaging of Santa and I nearly get booted from the Council, but when SANTA commits two point five billion injections, he gets off scoot free! Unbelievable.

So, yeah. I am mad about that. And on the SUBJECT of Jack Frost on this Jack Frost Stan Blog, WHY ARE ALL THESE SANTA'S MAKING SNOW???? I KNOW IN TSC2 SANTA MADE SNOW BUT IT WAS OBVI FAKE AF AND BAD. AND NOW THIS???? JUST, MAKING FLURRIES AND LETTING IT SNOW AND SNOWBALLS AND THE ICICLES FROM LAST SEASON??

AHHHH

Okay. I'm cool. I'm chill. I'm calm. Uh

(clearing my throat)

The way. The ladies are all interacting. Is ICK. It's like, trying to be woke and then going back and doing the EXACT OPPOSITE. Like. Just. I can't DEAL with every woman to woman conversation, especially when Carol is involved. She just keeps going back on things she says, and I dislike EVERYTHING about the ladies and ladies chats. I was SHOOKETH when they went "Let's use EB's house as a rage room!" THE MAN WAS KIDNAPPED AND BUNNY'D GUYS. COME ON! The Claus's really are out here just CRIMING IT UP, HUH.

Man. I haven't done a second watch and I'm not sure I'm going to??? I may attempt it again tomorrow. But it really really does seem like the plot is getting kinda lost. I honestly thought Mad Santa would make it to the Pole this episode, and my guess about him getting there end of episode 5 or beginning of 6 was like. NOT CORRECT

BUT FELLAS. I THINK IT WAS CORRECT. I THINK THEY'RE REALLY GONNA LAST MINUTE THE PLOT. AH.

Seeing Sandman was fun! I thought the elves lulling him to sleep was goddamn funny as FUCK. I did NOT like hoe easily he gave into Scott's gaslighting.

Also, holy hell. If Santa can't look like Santa delivering eggs, then perhaps maybe you should uh. MAKE THE WATCH TURN HIM INTO A BUNNY? NOT INTO REGULAR SCOTT CALVIN? HATE THAT. I have always had a hc that Santas totally could poof into their civilian selves for whatever reason, BUT NOT LIKE THIS. And I know it's just bc TA doesn't like the Santa prosthetics. Every single instalment of this franchise has him not being Santa-ie at some point and it is. EXHAUSTING. Scott's just exhausting. I miss movie Scott so gd much y'all

Also love that Mad Santa's plan was "maybe he'll notice me" lol. That's fucking funny. The elves sure did! But they don't want to be EXILED and I'm like, uh, I KNOW there was a clause for it but Scott doesn't know so maybe you guys need to chill? IF SANTA DOESN'T KNOW HE CAN EXILE YOU THEN YOU ARE SET!

Also x2, it has just occurred to me that we are 4 episodes in and have yet to:

meet the other gnomes

see this amulet Magnus keeps talking about

see Kris have any other part that isn't just "look we got fluffy on here!"

see ANYONE make the EB was kidnapped connection

See Befana put EB back

be given more substance on being exiled as an elf

like. do exiled elves turn into gnomes? given Olga's like of marshmallows?? HMM

Man y'all, I'm all over the place, much like this episode. I wonder what the heckeros is going on behind the scenes. I feel like the plot is so derailed and uh also. THEY EXPLODED MY BOY!!
