#i know the episode is gonna be a disappointment

[asraindarkness]

If it’s okay, not necessarily BuckTommy but -

This season feels SO weird. It’s even weirder because for the first time they had a long time to plan it - they knew they were renewed for a Season 8 early into Season 7. So much so that, for the first time, they let the season end with a cliffhanger. Multiple, even.

And they they dropped all of them in a rushed and unsatisfactory way. If they didn’t want S7’s plots to continue on to 8, they could’ve ended them in S7. Never bring Ortiz or Gerard back. But instead, they went with the oddest choice and created a nice cliffhanger, only to disappoint pretty much everyone.

But for me it’s more than that. It’s also the way the characters don’t always feel like them. You’re telling me Buck never went into a deep dive about queer history or rights when he discovered he’s bi?? that Maddie would make the making men gay comment?? that Chimney wouldn’t talk to Hen about the possible second pregnancy?? I could go on and on.

And the dynamics also feel… broken. We barely have friendship moments, at all. Buddie this season feels weird, like Eddie doesn’t really want to be bothered by Buck. Hen and Chim are barely communicating. The firefam doesn’t have moments outside of emergencies (save that montage of them asking Bobby for help).

It feels like the writers have stopped knowing how to write these characters and their dynamics. And for me the found family that I fell in love with at first watch feels gone, you know?

i’ve been saying this since s6!

like aren’t they tried of keep writing buck the same all the time??? he doesn’t get promoted on his job that he’s fucking good at it, they had a kind of story about it when buck wanted to be captain in s6 and then bridge fall happened and buck was a fucking powerhouse in it and i thought they finally gonna show buck more that just a young goofy firefighter that thinks on his feet, show them he’s a leader but then they dropped it.

he doesn’t get into lasting relationship and is always chasing one and apparently now he’s gonna forget his character’s growth and gonna be right back in s1. it’s like buck’s always gonna be the boyish bratt they made in s1 when he was 25/6 not a 33yo man!

eddie can’t fucking move on for 6/7 years and tries constantly to make a mom out of everything woman he dates but now a confession and a random priest apparently healed him like he was possessed not fucking mentally traumatized!

madney are most of the times are dealing with doug that comes out like random jump scares. maddie had 2 stories last season both was about her trauma with him. yes you can’t heal from something like that for a long time or possibly never but for god’s sake that woman raised his brother as his own child when she was still a child herself and what did 911 do with this part of her? NOTHING

and you don’t need me talk about hemren’s endless suffering

and where is athena’s children???

it’s been a mess since s6 but now it’s wors cuz tim starts writing 5 minutes before they start shooting. i said it 100 times the only thing good about s7 was buck’s bi arc. they make a big deal out of problems and solve them in most childish ways in the same episode!

i know it’s basically a soap opera but ffs it’s not a fantasy. they pulled dead wife no.2 cuz it’s a soap but in what word a child can land a plane?

honestly after i reed that tim rewatched the whole thing before writing for bi buck i was sure the show gonna back to its root where chim and hen are besties and hen and athena spend time together etc etc, but apparently all he got from that is abby had a boyfriend named tommy

Just watched House of the Dragon: S1 E9 and it might've changed how I see Aegon.

Aegon’s coronation hit way harder than I expected. Up until now, I wasn’t really a fan of his character—he’s been a mess, kind of all over the place, and just disappointing his family left and right. But when he got crowned? That little hint of a smile he had was actually so pure. LIKE JUST LOOK AT HIM. It’s like he finally got to feel the crowd’s love and acceptance, something he’s never really had from his family. For once, he’s not just the screw-up; he’s someone people are cheering for, someone who actually matters. Honestly, Viserys and Alicent had trash parenting skills ngl.

The whole scene was so well done. You could just see him realizing, “Wow, they actually want me.” I don’t know what’s gonna happen next, but this moment made me see Aegon a little differently.

(Also wtf I'd expected Rhaenyra in the episode but she just didn't show up 😭)

I’m so tired of people coming into the tag just to try to blame us for being upset because “we should have known from the start.”

If you know people are upset and sad and disappointed and hurt, do you really think blaming them is going to help? Do you really feel bad for them if you’re basically saying “it was obvious and everyone saw it and if you didn’t I don’t know how you could have missed it.”

And even if it was obvious, it still doesn’t make sense. Who stays with someone for 6 months thinking they’re not their last and they’ll break their heart. Like “I’m your first but not your last. You’ll end up breaking my heart but I still dated you for 6 months even though I could have just left it ended after our dinner or told you when we got coffee that I didn’t want you to end up breaking my heart. I know I’ve also never shown signs that I was insecure about that, but yeah. I am.” Like I get that could be a problem, but you’d just think if they always were gonna breakup from day 1, that gave them a long time to come up with a good reason and to start throwing in hints every now and then. But no. The first time we really got to see more than just a minute of Tommy this season, they showed him showing up for Buck and helping him, taking care of him and dressing up for and attending a funeral for some random cowboy.

So again, maybe it was planned. But shouldn’t they have planned a good reason? And then foreshadowed those reasons in previous episodes?

I'm over people saying "give the live action a chance before you criticize it" like trailers are mostly a marketing tool to convince ppl to watch smth but they're also there to let viewers decide whether they think smth is worth their time. if people look at trailers & promo and decide they aren't gonna like it based on that that's no one's problem but the marketing team's

[puppyeared]

Atla live action 😐

Super happy 1 year anniversary to the hug jonathan gave will to show he understood, mike's goo-goo eyes, will's subtle love confession, the byers family hug, the death of jason the bigot, the cute piggyback max and el reunion, the hugs mike got from his mom and hopper, the intense byler shoulder hold/ stare combo on the couch, robin getting the girl, lucas getting the comfort hug from mike and will (I really like hugs ok) and el bringing max back to life :']

[deaddcas]

ok I really hate the fact that bells hells have a time limit to save the world because how the fuck has it only been 10 in game days since they reunited? they barely said hello before rushing off and look where that has got them. they have no communication at all and I dont want to sound like a hater but I really dont see how after this final game they're all gonna be fine and trust each other. I just dont see it. they all have way too much emotional backage and none of them see that willing to work through it. I fucking hope I'm wrong and that they open up but even when they were telling secrets they were so guarded. they want to be a family so bad but they're just colleagues and at this point I'm not sure how they can change that

[videcoeur]

Yes I could watch the whole straight episode instead of posting a comment every 5 seconds but consider this: I might die if I don't talk about it

[sonknuxadow]

they werent lying that knuckles series barely has knuckles in it

[lenievi]

this moment was so unfair of him (his voice had no business getting so soft, and of course a girl's gonna get her hopes up if you look at her like that)

and this one too, when La'an told him that yes, he was a bit like the other him, and he smiled

When House got out of that lift I KNOW that Wilson was there and gave him a big hug and they were weird about it! Wilson rambles about how House shouldn't put himself in danger like that and what was he thinking?! but eventually he stops and catapults himself into House's chest and just holds him tight and maybe for a second House actually lets himself hug him back and it's exactly what they both needed.

Oh and then they break apart and they're all weird about it for the next day or two.
