Summary:

Life after Bright Falls hasn't been easy for the two of them, for anyone. Saga remains strong by day, but by night she's attacked by something she cannot control. Her dreams, or rather, her nightmares. There's only one person she can turn to in those moments.

So I did a raven style perusal of seasons 16 and 17 which is to say it was out of order and scattershot because I was working. I have some notes. In random order

First up, Carolina???????

Second, the implication that wash *loves* his hijinx with his friends. That he considers it fun. Freelancer brainrot fr.

The reds and blues love their freelancers so much right back????

Carolina??????

I mean obviously donut is fantastic.

Him complaining that his friends don't treat him like a man. Then after he scolds and comforts wash, as they're walking back, wash going "thanks man."

Why, when asked where to get shot if he had to be shot (again) did Donut have his ears locked and loaded????

I'm sad they retconned this season

They play the meta drumbeat in the background when wash learns the extent of his injury??????? Hello?????

Sarge is the first one to call out to wash?!?!????

When Carolina is fighting her past self in the labyrinth, she spits some fucking BARS dude.

"Yeah. You're a mirror. Two-dimensional, backwards, and what? I'm meant to feel disgusted every time I look at you? Because you're right."

Carolina holy shit

Also when they're fighting in the freelancer room, every spot on the leaderboard flickers except for the sixth spot! Wash's!

Also Carolina being emotionally vulnerable is so great. Her conversation with wash as they're repairing time, and he's saying goodbye... That fucking scene is everything to me. I love that these two guys that have been through so much together can say "I love you" and it doesn't have to be something romantic.

Carolina sees wash as a brother?????

Wash is so much more jokey and easygoing by season 17!!!! When he's not actively upset obviously!

Tucker considering the moment they get split up on Chorus to be one of the worst moments of his life is actually so fucking interesting. This man has gone through so much and one of the worst days of his life was when Felix tricked him.

"O'Malley wishes" doc, I love you so much

"A leader stands behind their team for the good things. In front of them for the bad. Why... am I still here?" Tucker holy shit my boy are you okay

Wash just not wanting to be alone. No snappy comebacks (aside from caboose kinda) when everyone says they'll be there for him.

Caboose's "my head's fuzzy and... I do good."

The way donut gives wash a pep talk but sounds like he's about to cry when he says "good. Because I can't do this alone...!" My SONNNNNN

It's just. This shit isn't perfect but. It has a lot of heart. And now I'm sad that season 18 apparently dropped the ball so hard that I legitimately do not know a single thing about it. I'm sad a lot of this is getting retconned. Carolina was the sleeper hit.

Conclusion: I like this show. I hope restoration is good

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual sexless and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

sorry it took so long I meant to do this a week ago but my brain is full of rocks.

[Image ID a three sided venn diagram. the big circles show Margot Robbie's Barbie sitting in front of a mirror, Jessica and Roger Rabbit from the poster of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens standing back to back. Between Barbie and Jessica Rabbit it says "sexualised by society". Between Jessica Rabbit and Aziraphale and Crowley it says "Knows what sex is". Between Aziraphale and Crowley and Barbie it says "no reproductive system(?)". the center is the asexual flag. End ID]

Also i haven't seen the Barbie movie as of this edit so at least please tag your spoilers.

gideon & harrow OR rd and sf as cowboys please please please

It's the cowgirl necro and her gunslinger cav! Who is so damn extra she's got three guns: one left, one right, and one in pole position! (She swears the ladies love it!)

[catmask]

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

They deserve to have a quiet moment for themselves (and Zuko is seriously questioning his taste in men)

Been thinking abt retired price a lot

Outside doing yard work, all but barking at you to stay your ass inside cause he’s got it.

Perching up behind him on the couch to rub his shoulders, joints aching because military service and age seem to be worse on certain days.

If you still work, John will grumble every few days about how “you don’t need to work love, can take care of ya.” Which you know and assure him of that as you kiss him while getting out of bed. He’ll sit in the bathroom as you get ready, make you your preferred morning drink and maybe even pack your lunch.

“John you don’t need to-“

“Least I can do, not jus’ gonna sit around and let my pretty wife have a million things to do.”

Grumbles about gaining weight every time you make a meal, which is most nights. Seeing John a bit softer around the edges puts your mind at ease. It’s not often he gets strung up on how he’s not as cut as he used to be, but when he does you spend a few hours assuring him with kisses and then some that, “Love the way you look John- part of the whole marriage plan I had actually. Needed a nice body pillow.” Which earns a chuckle, before you’re bouncing in his lap murmuring how much you adore him and like treating him well.

Being the host for the get together dinners John drags the 141 into. An excuse to see his boys again, and an excuse to show off the pretty thing he gets to see everyday.
