my thoughts on season 2

or rather, a list of things i didn’t like about it and a few things i did. spoiler warning, of course :~)

hello friends, thank you for joining me on my journey to convince the world to hate season 2 - I’M KIDDING LOL i liked season 2, but there are quite a few things i wasn’t that happy with and i’m going to cry about them like a baby now.

1. my second biggest disappoint with this season... NO HAZEL!!! i’m devastated!!!! i absolutely love hazel’s character and the depth cameron britton brought to the role.. i can’t believe they killed him so quickly :( maybe cameron had other work commitments but man i’m so sad. i seriously felt the lack of his presence this season and it was a dynamic that was sorely missed imo. the swedes could never.

2. the plot moved slower than i’d like. season 1 was very well paced, it felt non-stop, and like they were always working towards a goal, moving somewhere. some parts of season 2 felt slow or like things had come to a standstill and we were just watching them live rather than seeing them work towards something. which is fine if that’s what you’re into, but for me i think TUA works best when it’s GOGOGO like in season 1, and when it wasn’t, we had really intimate character moments, which i felt season 2 lacked.

3. the music didn’t hit as hard :( when i think of season 1 i can immediatley name a multitude of iconic scenes with the soundtrack - five murdering everyone in the doughnut shop, the bowling alley fight, i think we’re alone now OF COURSE, the slowmo montage to all die young, hazel and chacha burning the prosthetics building, gerard’s cover of happy together, five walking through the apocalypse to noel gallagher, run boy run, etcetcetc. those all just came off the top of my head. when thinking about season 2 i can only name two scenes off the top of my head (frank sinatra and backstreet boys). which is pretty sad.

4. the characterisation felt weaker overall. it didn’t feel as complex or deep whereas i felt season 1 really delved into each character and explored them a lot more. they all felt slightly watered down, especially luther, oh my god!! they turned him into a characeture whose only purpose is to eat a lot of food and pull silly faces. that was really disappointing. i’d hoped we’d get some scenes with him where he’d discuss all the pressure put on him by their dad, the guilt he feels for screwing up, insecurity etc. the scene with him and five in the club only scratched the surface. plus, allison only mentioned her daughter two times? it was really bizarre to me, it literally seemed like she’d forgotten about her. and speaking of forgetting family members...

5. why does nobody give a shit about ben. i’m fuMING. they all saw ben in the season 1 finale and then they didn’t even care to mention him other than five asking if ben was there once, only once the family were all back together mind you, and when klaus said no, none of them even questioned it. despite the fact that klaus very clearly is talking/bickering with a spirit in front of them several times. none of the are like ‘uuhh klaus are you talking to ben or like...’ and that is really goddamn sad. ben deserved so much better.

6. ben’s arc in general! this is my biggest disappointment with this season. personally i’d really hoped they’d go the route that klaus would learn to control his powers and manifest ben in the real world for limited periods of time, like when ben punched him in the face or when ben pulled klaus and diego out from under the falling roof of the academy. and then eventually, when the show ended, ben could ~move on~ and go to the afterlife after being able to spend time with his family. but nooo. he’s back to being invisible, uncared about, forgotten and miserable. i like that they let him possess klaus for a bit and experience the world again, that was nice. though when it turned out klaus had already slept with his crush and she called him d*ddy i did my bigget sigh ever. and he’s just gone now. he doesn’t even get to go to heaven. he’s just. nothing. and vanya is the only one who even acknowledged it (other than klaus obviously). i swear to god, if season 3 doesn’t do a scene where klaus ~dies~ for a bit and goes to the afterlife again and sees ben there, i will RIOT.

7. didn’t much like klaus’ storyline this season either. the cult thing was a bit weird and wasn’t done in the way i’d expected them to do it at all. i thought klaus would be a lot more sombre and serious this season too without the drugs to distract him, but he still acted high and Quirky the whole time, which is a shame, i’d love to have seen some more depth added to his character. plus, i thought he took the drugs because the ghosts were always bothering him.. we literally didn’t see any other than ben. also the stuff with dave was... Not Good. the kid they cast as dave had zero chemistry with klaus/robert, and he looked super young so it was.. kind of weird to see klaus be all like I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU. and i don’t think it even went anywhere. it just seemed pointless to me.

8. i felt like the fallout from the previous season was really glossed over. like vanya just forgot everything and everyone else is kinda like *shrugs* ah well. idk man i feel like there would’ve been a much bigger emotional cost and internal turmoil than there was.

9. i hated the ending. sorry. it felt really ~generic superhero story~, as did the siblings vs commission thing in the last episode, which TUA isn’t supposed to be. and emo ‘ben’ made me cringe gfhjskkdfj. plus the oopsy we did a timeline fucky thing is getting a lil old now but whatever. plus the sparrow academy means a bunch of new characters which means screentime will get even more split from the main siblings, which i don’t want.

so yeah.. i have some gripes with season 2. that said....

i did like some things!! i loved vanya having a female love interest, hell yeah. i loved five meeting old five, their dynamic was really fun and the dude who played old five was great, i feel like he really delivered his lines the same way aidan does. lila was cool too, i really liked the actress, she did great. seeing the siblings get closer was really nice too.

overall, i’d give the season a 6.5/10, so yeah, i did still enjoy it!!! i just don’t think it was as good as season 1, by quite a long way, and i have some things i didn’t like. feel free to disagree with me tho, i’m just a big dumb idiot. and thanks for reading :~)

#tua spoilers #pls don't attack me i'm just a dumb binch

Tag 9 people to learn about their interests!

Tagged by @the---hermit. Thank you!

MUSIC

Favourite genre?

I grew up on rock and metal, so.... but fell in love with medieval and psychedelic music. So there's that to it.

Favourite song?

Ooof, that's hard to choose. I think Queen of All Time (Red Giant) by Egypt has it all.

Most listened song recently?

I think that would be Zlatohlav by Tomáš Kočko & Orchestra

Song stuck in your head?

Agni Parthene.

5 fave lyrics?

In flight with the son of Icarus bowed down at the feet of Orion The sky built a shrine above my head asleep in the arms of a giant (Egypt - Queen of All Time (Red Giant))

The world we're in is broken and you're the magic potion / Like the hail in the morn' I'll sing you a song While the mead I make can brew for you (King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Honey)

Na krídlach divých včiel, Leskne sa v slnku jasný cieľ, V ústach sa mieša pot a prach, Ja naposledy prekročím prah. (On wild bees' wings, In the Sun the clera aim shines, In the mouth, sweat and dust blend together, For the last time I step over the treshold.) (Jana Kirschner - Na krídlach divých včiel (on the wings of wild bees))

Už ťa cítim, keď sa blížiš, voniaš ako v mlieku med Už ťa cítim, keď ma chytíš, do srdca cvála jed A nie je to zlé, a nie je to zlé.... (I already feel you, when you come near, you smell like honey in milk I already feel you, when you touch me, the poison gallops to my heart And it is not wrong, it is not wrong...) (HEX - Keď sme sami (When we're alone))

Położę się z Tobą gdzieś w owsie, czy życie, i miłość trwać będzie, choć skończy się życie. I oddam Ci całe me ciało spróchniałe. Zmysłowe piszczele i szczere golenie. (I will lie down with you somewhere in the oats or ryes And love will happen though life will end And I will give you my whole rotten body Sensual shins and plain shanks) (Żywiołak - Dens makabreska)

BOOKS

Favourite book genre?

There's a special place in my heart for a good high-fantasy, always was and always will be. But it's hard to narrow it down - I simply read books I enjoy. Which means, sometimes there's going to be a good occupation-era drama.

Favourite writer?

For all my love to Neil Gaiman and Ladislav Mňačko, Lenona Štiblaríková just gets it. I don't know, it may be because I see myself in her characters, but I truly do enjoy the genlte sarcasm of her wrintings.

Favourite book?

Jozova Hanule. I don't know where to start. It was written by Květa Legátová, is a stand-alone novel taking part in a compilation of stories taking time and place during the occupation at the czecho-slovak frontier. (I was really thinking about putting Smrť sa volá Engelchen (Death is called Engelchen) by L. Mňačko, and....now that I look at it. They have a rather similar vibe, but Jozova Hanule is a lot kinder.) It tells us the story of a nurse named Eliška (she later takes on the name Hanule) and her patient Joza. We have arranged marriage, their growing up together, the most beautiful love story I can dream of and just. Ah.

Favourite book series?

The Kingkiller chornicles and the Inkworld. And, obviously, The Witcher and all and every book and bookseries about Rogan the Black by Juraj Červenák. And while we're with him, then also Cpt. Stein and notary Barbarič.

Comfort book?

Bratislavská bludička by Lenona Štiblaríková, by all means. It's the epithome of chill for me. This, The Hobbit and Jozova Hanule always have my back.

Perfect book to read on a rainy day?

Hm. La sombra del viento. It just fits.

Favourite character?

To keep it simple, Joza from Jozova Hanule. The gentle giant, simple yet kind man. Just like Hanula, I was waiting for the moment he would break this charm around him - and he did, in a way. The only violence we see from him is when he's protecting others (his mother always tod him that he is too stong, so he can't beat others back - and this had made him into kinder man than any other in the village). I will, till the death of me, talk about the moment he was telling his wife-to-be stories to take the pressure off, and about the scene with the lamp. THE LAMP!! Or when she had thorns in her legs and he was doing his best to take them painlessly out. Just. I cry every time.

5 favourite quotes from your favourite book(s) that you know be heart?

Slovo! (Slovo.) The meat is burning. (Zlato Arkony I - Juraj Červenák)

Tehus anthausa eha! (The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss)

as it is, I am in another country and far from my library, so this will have to suffice.

TV AND MOVIES

Favourite tv/movie genre?

No idea, nothing concrete, but historical, fantasy and scifi are alwasy a good way to go.

Favourite movie?

Alien and The 13th Warrior. But it's hard to choose, if there are gems such as Pacho, hybský zbojník (Pacho, Hybe's highwayman) or Občanský prukaz (Identity Card).

Comfort movie?

Hm. Depends. 13th warrior and Howl's Moving Castle are on the top of that list. Oh, And Then We Danced.

Movie you watch every year?

Pelíšky (Cozy dens). Brotherhood of the Wolf. Millenial Bee.

Favourite TV show?

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and Ragnarok.

Most rewatched TV show?

Sense8.

5 fave characters?

Herger from The 13th warrior (I swear I will read the book soon), Merab from And then we danced, Paul from The half of it, Aki from AO: The last hunter and Bilbo.

As I don't know many ppl in this community, consider yourself tagged if you want :)

#tagged #kávičkovanie #the---hermit #this was fun i just didnt know what to say #anyway rukybozkávam for the 13th warrior/eaters of the dead - it has been my favourite for YEARS and only now I found out its based off of #a book.............and now i want to rewatch Želary (which is the movie adaptation of Jozova Hanule and it should be on netflix so)#(highly recommend)

Reacting To: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (Season 3 Episode 9)

Emilia is such a monster...

Episode Title: Prahmises

Spoiler Warning: Kindly proceed if you’ve already seen the episode or are able to handle spoilers

1. Dr. Emilia backstory? This should be interesting! We are taken back in time to when Emilia was a young woman, living with her dad and brother, Liam in a burrow (probably the same burrow Lio and Song lived in). Their dad puts immense pressure on his kids to be part of the generation that will solve the Great Mute Outbreak.

2. He is especially concerned about Liam, whom he tells Emilia to make sure he stays focused on their mission to bring humans back on top. So this is why Emilia is so determined to cure the mutes; It’s because of her dad and how he doesn’t want his kids to live underground anymore. Despite seeming like a hard-ass, I get why he’s so tough like that.

3. Back in the present day, we see Wolf stopping Scarlemagne in his tracks to inform him that she’s going to help him kill Emilia. She also sprayed some lavender air freshener to make sure Kipo won’t be able to track their scent. They reach Skyscraper Ridge where they notice that Emilia isn’t there with Hoag and Greta and assume that she’s back on her boat.

Kipo looks beautiful and Benson looks mighty dapper in his suit

4. Prahm is coming together quite nicely; Everyone is putting the finishing touches on the venue and its decorations. Some of them (including Kipo, Benson and Troy) are already dressed-up. Oooo fancy! However, Kipo is still upset that Wolf and Scarlemagne have ran off to do their thing. She wants to give Emilia a chance but everyone else feels like she isn’t capable of change.

5. Can’t they just meet somewhere in the middle? Instead of killing her, why not imprison her like I suggested in my last review? I’m sure the humans will be able to understand; They don’t seem to be that pro-Emilia anymore.

6. Song then tells Kipo of some of the things she heard Dr. Emilia say when she was a Mega Monkey. We then get a flashback of Emilia being awarded with what I’m guessing is a lead position in their burrow’s anti-mute/find-a-cure research movement. She tells Liam that she wants to get a sample from one of the mutes to develop the cure and they proceed to head to the surface.

7. They split up and eventually, Emilia manages to get a sample from a spider mute. On the other hand, we see Liam hitching a ride from Brad and Amy! He’s really friendly towards them and vice versa. After the rats drove off, Emilia confronts her brother for making friends with the mutes. He mentions after talking to Brad and Amy, they are going to build an amusement park that is a safe haven for mutes and humans. Ahhh, right! So, that’s how Ratland came to be! Too bad it’s destroyed now.

8. Liam tries to reason with Emilia by telling her that mutes and humans can co-exist on the surface together because what they were taught about mutes was wrong. Emilia then does a complete BITCH move by killing her brother in clear daylight because she doesn’t want him to get in the way of everything they’ve worked for. What the heck Emilia?! I can’t believe she killed her own brother just because he disagrees with her. And it didn’t take long for her to do that. She is messed up!

9. Not only is she a killer, she’s a liar because she goes back to the lab faking hysteria by saying that the mutes killed her brother. Girl, bye. I hope Scarlemagne/Wolf ends you.

10. Basically, what Song heard from Emilia as the Mega Monkey was that she has been lying to everyone this whole time about the mutes killing her brother when it was actually Emilia herself. What a heartless monster. Back to the present; Who the hell died and make Kipo queen? Even after this story, she’s still willing to give her a chance. WAKE UP KIPO! People are capable of changing, just not those who are willing to kill their siblings without much hesitation. Kipo literally went from wanting to drown at least 50 humans on a boat to not wanting to kill the most evil person in Las Vistas. Like can you please be more consistent?

Troy and Benson in these suits is a vision

Aww, a reunion between Label and Zane. I still remember him saving her from getting cured. That was a great moment.

Aww x2, Amy and now normal rat, Brad. Side note: she called him her best friend. I had to point this out because all this while I thought they were a couple.

11. The mutes have arrived and it’s almost time for Prahm to start. Meanwhile, Wolf and Greta are fighting each other and at first, it seems like they are evenly matched but Greta ends up kicking her butt. Ouch! Scarlemagne is working up a sweat so that he can use his pheromones to mind-control Greta. After some struggle, he manages to splatter his sweat directly onto her face. Unfortunately, Wolf knocked her out unconscious before he could ask her where Emilia is lol.

12. The other humans plus Hoag arrive at Prahm with Hoag demanding for his daughter to leave the party. She’s definitely not going to listen to him. I hope Hoag will just drop it and join Kipo.

13. Okay, is anyone else getting middle school mixer vibes here when watching the humans and mutes trying to have friendly conversations with one another? It’s sooo awkward. Kipo entrusts Dave and Benson to be like the middle-men between the two groups. Troy and Jamack are also forming a team to do the same thing. It’s going to be a competition on who can make more friendships. That sounds weird but okay.

14. Greta wakes up and instead of using pheromones, they manage to get her to reveal Emilia’s location by bribing her with pancakes. Interestingly, Greta brings up a great point by asking Wolf why she’s wearing wolf skin if she and everyone else is so positive that mutes and humans can be friends. That’s true but every individual group has its own bad apples. Humans can kill other humans too as proven by Emilia. But you don’t see humans trying to segregate from their own race lol.

15. After listening to Greta, Wolf thinks that if they kill Emilia, this might cause the humans to lose trust towards the mutes. Yes but like I said, why don’t y’all just capture her and put her in jail, just like you did with Scarlemagne? I don’t think doing that would upset the humans. Scarlemagne is actually agreeing with Wolf’s reasoning and they set Greta loose. Ugh, why? Just keep her restrained.

16. We get back to the socializing between the humans and mutes and things are going too well lol. Like I’ve said earlier, it’s super awkward. Maybe they should play a game together or something instead of trying to force conversations.

We also get a reprise of Hyun Soo and his groupmates’ catchy Kpop song feat. Doag.

17. And finally, Hoag is able to see that his daughter is happy dancing with the Korean Narwhal mutes. He then proceeds to join his daughter and dance with her. Thank goodness he changed his mind about the mutes.

Aww he turned his old blanket into a tie. Cute!

18. Wolf and Scarlemagne are now at Scarlemagne’s Court to look for some Prahm outfits left by some of his old Nobles. He is also reflecting on his past decisions and expresses to Wolf about how he regrets not going after Emilia and not trying to free Song and have a life with her, Lio and Kipo. That’s true but look at what you have now Scarlemagne! I swear, if Scarlemagne dies...I will be so pissed.

19. It’s now night-time and it looks like the mutes and humans are getting along much better. We even see Jamack dancing with the old lady, Mrs. Graham? Troy and Benson are having a cute dance of their own too. Kipo is feeling down because Wolf isn’t around to enjoy Prahm with her, especially since their song, “Heroes on Fire” is now playing.

20. But look who decided to show up at the right moment. Kipo is thrilled! Scarlemagne then gives his own speech to the mutes and humans to ask for their forgiveness. This in turn, makes the humans apologize to the mutes for the bad things they’ve done to them too:

Such a tender moment

21. Hoag then feels guilty and tells everyone that he and Emilia had sabotaged the fireworks that were just about to go off so that it will shower everyone with the cure. Phew, that was close!

So Emilia still has followers! Okay, that makes things even more complicated. I thought this whole issue can be solved simply by locking up Emilia but she’s clearly got the loyalty of some of the humans no matter what.

22. After making this revelation, Emilia and her remaining army decide to make their grand entrance. She’s even dressed for the occasion. The episode ends with Emilia setting up the fireworks to go off and they did. But the episode stops here.

23. 1 more episode left! Ughhh, I’m so sad that it’s all coming to an end. But I’m looking forward to see how this whole show is going to end. I hope I’ll be satisfied with the ending. We shall see tomorrow for when I will post my review of the SERIES FINALE episode! Thanks for reading! Bye!

EPISODE 1 - WINTERFELL

Arriving at Winterfell

[to Dany] I warned you. Northerners don't much trust outsiders.

[to Bran] Look at you. You're a man.

[to Sansa] Where's Arya?

Queen Daenerys of House Targaryen. My sister, Sansa Stark, the Lady of Winterfell.

In Council

We need to send ravens to the Night's Watch as well. There's no sense in manning the castles anymore. We make our stand here.

It's not important.

You did, my lady. It was the honor of my life. I’ll always be grateful for your faith. But when I left Winterfell, I told you we need allies or we will die. I have brought those allies home to fight alongside us. I had a choice, keep my crown or protect the North. I chose the North.

Godwood Reunion with Arya

How did you sneak up on me?

You still have it.

Have you ever used it?

Jealous?

Where were you before? I could've used your help with Sansa.

Sansa thinks she's smarter than everyone.

Now you're defending her? You?

Yeah. I'm her family too.

Dragons/Waterfalls

She doesn't know you. If it makes you feel any better, she didn't like me either when we were growing up.

What's the matter?

What's wrong with them?

I don't know how to ride a dragon.

What if he doesn't want me to?

What do I hold onto?

You've completely ruined horses for me.

We'd be pretty old.

It's cold up here for a southern girl.

With Sansa

"House Glover will stand behind House Stark as we have for a thousand years." Isn't that what he said?

I told you we needed allies.

I never wanted a crown. All I wanted was to protect the North. I brought two armies home with me, two dragons.

Do you think we can beat the Army of the Dead without her? I fought them, Sansa. Twice. You want to worry about who holds what title, I'm telling you it doesn't matter. Without her, we don't stand a chance.

Do you have any faith in me at all?

She'll be a good queen. For all of us. She's not her father.

With Sam

Sam? Were you hiding from me?

What are you doing in Winterfell? Or did you read every book in the Citadel already?

What's wrong? Gilly? Is she all right?

Little Sam?

Know what?

I'm so sorry. We need to end this war.

Well, I've executed men who disobeyed me.

I wasn't a king.

I gave up my crown, Sam. I bent the knee. I'm not King in the North anymore.

What are you talking about?

My father was the most honorable man I ever met. You're saying he lied to me all my life.

Daenerys is our queen.

That's treason.

EPISODE 2 - A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS

Jaime Trial

We need every man we can get.

With the Wall Crew

I thought we'd lost you.

How did you find each other?

The Umbers?

How long do we have?

Voiceover

They're coming. We have dragonglass and Valyrian steel. But there are too many of them. Far too many. Our enemy doesn't tire. Doesn't stop. Doesn't feel.

War Council

We can't beat them in a straight fight.

The Night King made them all. They follow his command. If he falls Getting to him may be our best chance.

We'll put you in the crypt, where it's safest.

If they're in the field, they're not protecting Bran. We need to be near him. Not too near, or the Night King won't come. But close enough to pursue him when he does.

Let's get some rest.

Your Grace.

With Sam and Edd

No.

If you want to join them. To protect them.

Now it's just us three.

In the Crypt

Lyanna Stark.

He didn't. He loved her.

They were married in secret. After Rhaegar fell on the Trident, she had a son. Robert would have murdered the baby if he ever found out, and Lyanna knew it. So the last thing she did, as she bled to death on her birthing bed, was give the boy to her brother, Ned Stark, to raise as his bastard.

My name. My real name is Aegon Targaryen.

I wish it were.

Bran. He saw it.

And Samwell confirmed it. He read about their marriage at the Citadel without even knowing what it meant.

It's true, Dany. I know it is.

EP 3: The Long Night

The Night King is coming.

Dany!

[to Viserion]: Get off!

[to Dany]: Bran!

EP 4: The Last of the Starks

Funeral

We're here to say goodbye to our brothers and sisters. To our fathers and mothers. To our friends. Our fellow men and women who set aside their differences to fight together and die together so that others might live. Everyone in this world owes them a debt that can never be repaid. It is our duty and our honor to keep them alive in memory for those who come after us and those who come after them for as long as men draw breath. They were the shields that guarded the realms of men. And we shall never see their like again.

Party

[to Tormund] No, not in one go. Vomiting is not celebrating.

[to drunk!Tormund] Yeah, I didn't have much say in that.

In his Rom w/ Dany

No. Only a little. I didn't know Ser Jorah well but I know this. If he could have chosen a way to die, it would have been protecting you.

I told you I don't want it.

I'll refuse. You are my queen. I don't know what else I can say.

I have to tell Sansa and Arya.

She won't.

I owe them the truth.

It won't.

You are my queen. Nothing will change that. And they are my family. We can live together.

Battle Council

The Northmen as well.

We'll surround the city. If the Iron Fleet tries to ferry in more food, the dragons will destroy them. If the Lannisters and the Golden Company attack, we'll defeat them in the field.

(to SANSA and ARYA) The Northern forces will honor their promises and their allegiance to the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. What you command, we will obey.

Godwood w/ Starks

You understand we'd all be dead if not for her. We'd be corpses marching down to King's Landing.

Her men gave their lives defending Winterfell-

I swore myself and the North to her cause.

You don't know her yet.

If you only trust the people you grew up with, you won't make many allies.

Arya-

I've never been a Stark.

I need to tell you something. But you have to swear you'll never tell another soul.

You have to swear it, before I tell you.

Because we're family. Swear it.

Goodbyes to Tormund, Gilly, and Sam

[to Tormund] Just a horse. Rhaegal needs to heal. He doesn't need me weighing him down.

This is the North, you know. And the Free Folk are welcome to stay.

It's where he belongs too. A direwolf has no place in the south. Will you take him with you? He'll be happier up there.

I wish I was going with you. This is farewell, them.

[to Gilly] I hope it's a girl.

You too, Sam.

EP 5: The Bells

With Varys at Dragonstone

Just crossed the Trident. They'll be at the walls of King's Landing in two days. How is she?

She shouldn't be alone.

Aren't you worried for her?

We're not much for riddles where I'm from.

That's her decision to make. She is our queen.

What do you want?

I don't want it. I never have.

She is my queen.

With Dany

I don't want it, and that's what I told him.

I love you. And you will always be my queen.

With Tyrion

Daybreak at the earliest.

During Battle

Move, move!

No! Get back! Get back!

Stay! Stay!

Stop!

(to a woman) Find somewhere to hide.

We need to fall back! Fall back behind the wall! Fall back!

Get out of the city! Fall back! Fall back! Fall back!

EP 6: The Iron Throne

Pre-Dany’s Speech

[to Tyrion] It's not safe. Let me send some men with you.

Grey Worm! It's over.

With Arya

What are you doing here? Hey, what happened?

She's everyone's queen now.

Wait for me outside the city gates. I'll come find you.

With Tyrion in Jail

No.

Not that I've seen.

You didn't.

I can't justify what happened. I won't try. But the war is over now.

And you've been by her side, counseling her. Until today.

You think our house words are stamped on our bodies when we're born and that's who we are? Then I'd be fire and blood too. She's not her father, no more than you're Tywin Lannister.

Cersei left her no choice.

She saw her friend beheaded. She saw her dragon shot out of the sky.

Ah, it's easy to judge when you're standing far from the battlefield.

What?

I don't know.

What's it matter what I'd do?

"Love is the death of duty."

Maester Aemon said it a long time ago.

That's her decision. She is the queen.

I'm sorry it came to this.

My sisters will be loyal to the throne.

She doesn't get to choose.

At Iron Throne with Dany

I saw them executing Lannister prisoners in the street. They said they were acting on your orders.

Necessary? Have you been down there? Have you seen? Children, little children, burned!

And Tyrion?

Forgive him.

You can. You can forgive all of them, make them see they made a mistake. Make them understand.

Please, Dany.

The world we need is a world of mercy. It has to be.

How do you know? How do you know it'll be good?

I don't.

What about everyone else? All the other people who think they know what's good.

You are my queen. Now, and always.

With Tyrion, post-sentencing

There's still a Night's Watch?

Was it right? What I did?

It doesn't feel right.

I don't expect we'll ever see each other again.

Stark Goodbyes

[to Sansa] The North is free, thanks to you.

Ned Stark's daughter will speak for them. She's the best they could ask for.

[to Arya] You can come see me, you know, at Castle Black.

You think anyone will dare tell you women aren't allowed?

I don't know.

You have your Needle?

[to Bran] Your Grace. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me.

Reviews 1x01 1x02 1x03 1x04 1x05 1x06 1x07 1x08 1x09 1x10 1x11 1x12 1x13 1x14 1x15 1x16 1x17 1x18 1x19 1x20 1x21 1x22 2x01 2x02 2x03

Hello, I’m back! And back with the episode I’ve been waiting for since this season began. The introduction of one of my favorite characters in this series. Captain Killian Jones, AKA, Captain Hook. If you’re reading my reviews and haven’t watched the series yet, I’m telling you right now, we will see him again and see him often. I’m pretty sure he was made a series regular before this episode even aired due to test audience reactions. So there you go. Now, on with the review.

Summary: Belle is kidnapped by her father to get her away from Gold. In the Enchanted Forest past, Gold’s wife, Milah, runs away with a pirate captain named Killian Jones, and fatal consequences happen because of it.

Opening: Captain Hook’s ship

New Characters:

Killian Jones/Captain Hook: We first see Killian Jones drinking in a tavern with Rumplestiltskin’s wife, Milah. We don’t even get much from him except that he insults Rumplestiltskin right off the bat. The next week Rumplestiltskin goes to confront the pirate captain because he’s been told that they took Milah. Killian is all swagger and confidence, everything Rumplestiltskin isn’t, while we are still in the very cowardly Rumplestiltskin phase. Now, while Killian does give Rumplestiltskin a rusty sword in which to fight for Milah, he’s openly mocking him. He knows that Rumplestiltskin will not win even if he does fight, but the fact that he doesn’t even attempt to fight for his wife incites one of the best lines, “A man unwilling to fight for what he wants deserves what he gets.” Rumplestiltskin doesn’t even attempt to pick up the sword and cries about what he’s going to tell Bae. Killian tells him to tell the truth, that his father is a coward. I mean, technically he’s correct, but he’s also being a right bastard to a crippled man who just wants to keep his family together. The next time we see Killian, Rumplestiltskin has become the Dark One and Bae has gone through the portal, so we can assume it’s been about 8-9 years, depending on how old Bae was when Milah left. Killian and his crew look to have just left a bar and are at the docs when Rumplestiltskin, disguised as a beggar, bumps into him. Killian calls him out for bad manners and says he looks like a crocodile, and then, in a total dick move, slaps his money tin out of his hand and pushes him down. So much for being honorable. He asks him for his name and Rumplestiltskin reveals himself. Killian immediately recognizes him and the look on his face is pure ‘oh fuck, I’m screwed’, even before he tells him he’s the Dark One. Rumplestiltskin inquires about Milah and Killian really is not a good liar at all when he pretends he doesn’t know who Milah is. Rumplestiltskin makes some quip about digging about in his memories which gets Killian to admit that Milah died a long time ago. Rumplestiltskin wants to finish their duel from years before and tells Killian to get his affairs in order and they’ll duel at dawn. The next morning they meet for the duel. Rumplestiltskin magics Killian’s sword for him to use and gives Killian the rusty sword he’d thrown at Rumplestiltskin at their previous meeting. Killian is obviously a skilled swordsman, if not a bit too flashy with all his twirls and coat swishing, but Rumplestiltskin is the Dark One and a better swordsman. He’s barely even breaking a sweat while Killian is putting his all into it. Rumplestiltskin bests Killian and Killian says he’s prepared to die, but Rumplestiltskin wants him to feel the way he did when he stole Milah from him. Like his heart was ripped from his chest. Oh, so that’s where this is going. I guess Cora and Regina had to learn it from somewhere. He plunges his hand into Killian’s heart and it about to pull it out when Milah tells him to stop! Milah tells her story while Rumplestiltskin keeps putting the pointy end of his sword into Killian’s gut, and Killian keeps telling Milah to run. We find out that Milah and Killian have the magic bean Rumplestiltskin has been trying to procure, so they all go to the ship because Rumplestiltskin wants to see it. Milah shows him the bean but throws it to Killian. Rumplestiltskin and Milah argue, which ends with Milah’s heart getting ripped out and Killian watching helplessly while magically tied to the mast of his ship. Once he gets free he goes to Milah who tells him she loves him, and then dies in his arms as Rumplestiltskin crushes her heart in front of him. Killian tells Rumplestiltskin he’s still a coward. Rumplestiltskin wants the bean. Killian, who is completely heartbroken, tells him he’ll have to kill him first. Rumplestiltskin doesn’t want to do that and cuts off the hand holding the bean instead. He wants Killian to suffer like he did. Killian is very pissed off now. He just had his love and his hand taken away. He stabs Rumplestiltskin with a ship hook that came loose from before, but it barely even phases him. Rumplestiltskin tells him it will take a lot more than that to kill him. Killian swears he’ll find a way. Rumplestiltskin bates him by saying he won’t live long enough to do that and disappears. Which then prompts Killian to grab the hook laying on the ground and that’s about the time you realize we’ve been watching Captain Hook’s origin story. Killian has the bean (because he’d switched hands, thus foiling Rumplestiltskin) and Milah’s body is dumped overboard in a true sailor burial. We find out the man who got the bean for Rumplestiltskin in the first place is Smee, and Killian offers him a place on his ship instead of killing him. The fact that Killian still lets him aboard when all he does is talk back to him is a bit weird, but I’ll let it pass seeing as he just lost his lover and his hand and probably isn’t thinking all too clearly. Smee is upset that his deal with Rumplestiltskin to become young again is now null, but Killian tells him they’re going somewhere they’ll never grow old, which delights Smee. Killian put his hook into some kind of brace that he’s rigged up, throws the bean into the ocean, and tells everyone to hold on because they’re heading to Neverland.

Now, while Killian Jones was a pretty suave pirate who seemed to enjoy himself, Captain Hook seems to have no sense of humor, at least not when it comes to Cora. He is spying on the area where the safe haven is. Cora tells him she has something that is a start to getting them to Storybrooke (sparkly dirt as Hook refers to it). He’s ready to go skin himself a crocodile.

Milah: She is the very unhappy wife of Rumplestiltskin and Bae’s mother. We see her drinking it up with pirates in a tavern while Rumplestiltskin tries to get her to leave. She is mean and uncaring toward her husband, wishing he had died in the Ogre Wars and left her a widow instead of making her the wife of the town coward. Bae appears in the tavern and Milah is horrified that she is now looking like a bad mother rather than an unhappy wife. She quickly takes Bae and leaves. Back at their hovel, Rumplestiltskin questions Milah about her wishing he had died in the War. She wishes he’d at least fought. Milah wants to move away to a village where no one knows them and they can start over. Sounds like a good plan if you’re in a place where you’re known as the town coward. Apparently, Rumplestiltskin is too cowardly to even want to start over, which upsets Milah more. He wants her to try and live her best life here in the village, if not for him, then for Bae. Milah tells him she’ll try, but you can tell she does it just to appease him. The next week Rumplestiltskin learns Milah has been taken by pirates. Years later, we find out that Milah is still alive. She was so unhappy in her marriage that she let Rumplestiltskin believe she was taken when she actually ran away because she’d fallen in love with Killian. And then we get to see Milah shine. She brings an injured Killian back to his ship and she commands those men expertly. They listen to her, know she is in charge, no questions asked. She exudes the same confidence we saw in Killian when we first met him. Milah tries to make a deal with Rumplestiltskin, the bean for their lives, but he never actually takes it. He makes it sound like he forgives her for leaving, but then asks how she could leave Bae. She says she was a coward, she knows that, but she was so unhappy that it didn’t matter. Rumplestiltskin wants to know why she was so unhappy, and she practically screams in his face that she never loved him. Not the right move at all. At this outburst, Rumplestiltskin grabs Milah’s heart from her chest and then proceeds to crush it after she tells Killian she loves him. Bye bye Milah. Now, Milah may seem heartless (pun intended) with her treatment of Rumplestiltskin and leaving her child, but she was miserable. I also don’t believe she never loved Rumplestiltskin. She must have at least liked him at one point. They were peasants, they really didn’t need to marry for money, and I can’t imagine that Milah was somehow arranged into a marriage with him. She was a beautiful woman, it seems she could have had her pick when she was younger. Plus, she bore Rumplestiltskin a child, and considering he doesn’t seem the type to take a woman against her will, she willingly conceived a child with him. So she either liked/loved him at some point, or she only wanted a child to feel loved, which obviously didn’t work. And I’m also a strong believer in not staying in a marriage where you’re not happy. Unfortunately, for Milah, it ended in disastrous consequences.

Smee: I’ll say this much for both Past and Present Smee, he is not afraid to go after what he wants. In the past he seeks out Rumplestiltskin to barter for the magic bean. He knows all about the Dark One’s past and about what happened to Bae and knows Rumplestiltskin wants a bean to find him. Smee wants eternal life but Rumplestiltskin says he can’t do that, but does promise to make him a child again so he can live longer. Smee’s cool with that, but Rumplestiltskin does warn him that if the deal doesn’t pan out, he’ll speed up the clock and turn him into dust. Guess Smee should be turning into dust soon since that deal did not work out. He is captured by Milah and Killian so that they can make a deal with the Dark One. After everything that happens, Smee demands Killian give him back the bean (he’s got some balls on him), but Killian puts him in his place, basically tells him he can join his crew or die. Smee wants to know how that’s fair because he was going to get eternal life (no, you agreed on becoming younger) and now he’s going to be scrubbing blood off the decks. Killian tells him that they’re going to a land where they won’t grow old and Smee is cool with that.

When we first meet Smee in Storybrooke, he seems like he might be homeless, as he’s asking Belle for money. But it turns out he just wants to kidnap her. He’s working for her father, Moe. It seems, Smee still isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, because when Belle doesn’t do what Moe wants, he enlists Smee to send her out into the mines so she loses her memories when crossing the town line. He is later captured by Gold who wants to know where Hook is. Smee tells him that he didn’t come over in the curse.

Character Observations:

Rumplestiltskin/Gold: We start with coward Rumplestiltskin. He comes home to find a young Bae (probably around 6 or 7) home alone. They go to find Milah. She is at the bar and she belittles him the entire time he tries to get her to come home. It is only when Bae enters that she willingly goes home. Rumplestiltskin talks to Milah about how she would have rather he died in the Ogre Wars. She just wish he would’ve fought. She brings up moving away but Rumplestiltskin is too much of a coward to start over. He’d rather stay where he is familiar even if it’s bad for him and his family. The next week a neighbor lets him know that Milah’s been taken by pirates. He goes to get her back but is too much of a coward to fight Killian the pirate captain. Hell, Killian even encourages him to fight by telling him he’ll deserve what he gets if he doesn’t fight, but, alas, Rumplestiltskin just can’t do it and just stands there crying. When he asks what he’s supposed to tell his son, Killian rightly tells him to tell the truth, that his father was a coward and wouldn’t fight for his mother. Robert Carlyle is amazing in this whole scene. Seeing how whimsical he is as the Dark One and how evil he is as Gold, seeing him play such a cowardly character (much cowardly than we’ve seen previously) is a delight. It is 8-9 years later when Rumplestiltskin and Captain Killian Jones cross paths again, and Rumplestiltskin is now the Dark One. He puts the fear of the gods into Killian when he realizes what has happened to Milah’s husband. Rumplestiltskin asks what happened to Milah and Killian says she died a long time ago. You can see that Rumplestiltskin is upset by this. He probably hoped to rescue Milah after all these years now that he had the power to do so. He attempts to take Killian’s heart so he knows what he felt like when Killian took Milah all those years ago, but is stopped by Milah herself, who is very much alive. Turns out she wasn’t taken, but fell in love with Killian and all his travelling stories. She didn’t mean for it to turn out the way it did. You can tell Rumplestiltskin is shaken by all this. Here he’d believed his wife had been taken against her will and maybe he’d be a hero now, but it turns out she left him to be with someone else. Rumplestiltskin keeps referring to Killian as Milah’s true love (and in the style of the clergyman from The Princess Bride) and keeps pushing his sword into him. Milah tells him she has the bean he’s looking for and wants to strike a deal. The bean for their lives. Rumplestiltskin says he wants to see the bean first. They go to the ship where they show him the bean. Milah wants to know if they have a deal. Rumplestiltskin asks if she really wants to know if he forgives her. He says he can see she’s truly (twuly) in love. She takes this to mean they have a deal. Except Rumplestiltskin wants to know how she could have left Bae. And once again we have a scene where Rumplestiltskin is using his guilt about something that happened to him while arguing with someone else. He accuses her of leaving Bae, or abandoning him. Both things he did. Rigging is flying everywhere, and Milah is trying to fix the situation, but eventually Rumplestiltskin wants to know why she was so unhappy. She tells him she never loved him and that’s the last straw. Rumplestiltskin tears out her heart and magically ties Killian to a mast so he can’t intervene. Killian manages to get himself free and Rumplestiltskin crushes her heart after Milah tells Killian she loves him. He wants the magic bean but Killian says he’ll have to kill him first. Rumplestiltskin opts to cut off his hand (that’s holding the bean) instead. He wants him alive so he can suffer like he did. Killian stabs him with a hook, but Rumplestiltskin just laughs and says it will take a lot more than that to kill him. Killian vows to find a way. Rumplestiltskin thinks he won’t live long enough to try. But Killian bested Rumplestiltskin after all, because when he goes to get the bean out of the hand, it’s not there. Rumplestiltskin throws a fit, per usual.

Meanwhile, Gold is not doing to well proving himself worthy of Belle. He’s weaving some straw into gold in the basement and Belle confronts him about it. He plays it off as if it’s nothing, but she’s not buying it. She tells him he doesn’t need power, just courage. He goes to her room a little bit later to get her to eat something, but she’s not there, but her window is open. Did she seriously jump out the window to get away from him? She’s on the second floor! Gold goes to see Moe to see if she went to her father. Moe has nothing but bad things to say about Gold, but he hasn’t seen Belle. Gold goes to David to help him find Belle. David figures out that this is the woman he told him he’d loved back in the EF. David thought she was dead. Gold thought she was. David wants to know if maybe she ran away. Gold admits that could be the case, but David is in the same situation he is in missing his loved ones, so David agrees to help, reluctantly. Gold and David go to see Ruby who first lies that she hasn’t seen Belle, but then sends them in the direction of the library. Ruby gives Gold the sweater Belle left behind and Gold says he gave it to her because she was cold. Ruby sees that Gold actually cares and helps by using her wolf sense of smell of track her, but they lose her at Game of Thorns. Moe says that Belle is safe but Gold pleads with him to let him talk to her. Moe tells them all that he has to make Belle forget him and Gold figures out he’s sending Belle over the town line. Gold attacks Moe to make him talk, but David sees mine dust on his hand and figures out they’re sending her out through the mine tunnels as they go under the town line. Gold, David, and Ruby get down there in time for Gold to magic Belle’s mine cart back before it goes past the town line. He hugs her, but Belle still thinks Gold is too cowardly for her to go back with him. Belle doesn’t want to see him or her father again. Gold at least looks upset by this turn of events. Gold gives Belle the key to the library (through Ruby). He also lets her know there’s an apartment attached she can live in. He finally admits that she’s right about him. He’s a coward. He collected power and he ended up losing his son. He dedicated himself to finding him and discovered the curse that could bring him here. And then he waited for the curse to be broken. Belle is confused because instead of going to look for Bae immediately, he brought magic to town. Gold admits it’s a crutch. And now he can’t even leave to look for him because he’ll lose his memories. This of course elicits emotions from Belle. Gold says all magic comes with a price and he was using magic in the basement to try and break whatever curse is on the town line. But he also doesn’t want to lose her again. But he walks away because that’s what she wants. Which of course is the quickest way for Belle to decide to invite Gold to have a burger with her at some point. And the look on Gold’s face is so genuinely happy, which makes it all that much worse when we see Smee tied up in his basement. Except he doesn’t care about him kidnapping Belle. No, he’s more interested in where Captain Hook is. Ugh! Gold is great at emotionally manipulating people, and that’s what he’s doing with Belle. It makes me sick.

Belle: Unlike Belle from the cartoon version of Beauty and the Beast, this version of Belle is a bit naive. She’s now been in this world for, what, a week or two, and she’s already already dumped Gold because he’s obsessed with power, but then comes back because he’s a monster and she needs to change him. In this episode she gets mad, again, because she sees him using magic and she doesn’t want him to. Honey, he’s not going to change, either deal with it or move on. She decides to move on for the moment. She heads to Granny’s where Ruby notices her penchant for Iced Tea. Belle’s never had it iced and she’s quite enamored with it. Ruby offers to let her stay at Granny’s while she gets on her feet. She also tells her about the library since Belle likes books. Belle goes to look at the library but it’s still locked and boarded up. While looking, she manages to get kidnapped by Smee because of her trusting nature. Luckily, Smee is working for Belle’s father, but he thinks he’s saving her from Gold because she hasn’t come to see him since the curse broke. He figured Gold was holding her captive. Belle tells him that she chose to be with Gold. Moe asks if she loves him. She does, but she’s pretty sure it’s over now. Her father wants her to say she won’t be in love with him anymore. Um, that’s not how that works. Belle tells her father she’s not a child, so he enlists Smee to kidnap her again. Ugh! Belle’s father is the worst. Smee takes Belle to the mines and handcuffs her to a mine cart and lets it go, but he does give her the handy tip that the key to the cuffs is at the bottom of the cart. Unfortunately, she loses the key while trying to unlock herself because she’s going at least 30 mph. Luckily, Gold saves her before she goes past the town line, and while she’s grateful, that doesn’t change her feelings about Gold and his magic use. Moe takes this to mean Belle will come back with him, but she’s pissed at him for trying to take her memories away. She wants both of them to stay away from her. Which lasts about a day, because Ruby gives her the key to the library which is from Gold. He talks to her, gives her his sad speech about magic as a crutch, wanting to find Bae, and being stuck in this town. This makes Belle emotional and feeling things for him again and she asks him out on a date to eat hamburgers. Insert eye roll here.

David: We don’t have a ton of David here, but he has taken on temporary sheriff duties until Emma gets back. He’s basically in a weird buddy cop movie with Gold. He tries to give Gold advice on how to be honest with Belle if he wants their relationship to work, because that’s how he and Mary Margaret keep their love alive. He also does a terrible job at being sheriff because he doesn’t even arrest Smee or Moe for kidnapping Belle. Seriously, Moe should have been in jail the minute he found mine dust on him.

Questions:

What exactly happened to Rumplestiltskin during the Ogre War? We know he went, we know he has a limp, but Milah says he didn’t fight.

Where are the dwarves real pickaxes?

Why is everyone else in Storybrooke wearing fall/winter attire, and Belle is walking around in sleeveless shirts, tiny skirts, and sky high heels? It’s like the costumer designer decided she needed to have a sexy librarian look.

What was Moe’s plan? Let Belle go in the mines until her cart stopped on its own or crashed and then hope she gets out of the handcuffs and comes wandering back to town?

How did Killian and Milah know that Smee was working for Rumplestiltskin and that Rumplestiltskin wanted the magic bean?

Did Milah know the rumors about Bae? Did she know he was gone? She never asks about him even when Rumplestiltskin lays into her for leaving.

Why do most people act like they’re dying the second their heart is out of their bodies? We’ve seen that as long as it’s not crushed they can still live.

Did Rumplestiltskin’s sword have magical properties when cutting off Killian’s hand? There was no blood, and he wasn’t in much pain. Plus he put the hook apparatus on without any problems.

Why is the portal in the water so much bigger? It’s not like it knows it’s going to need to accommodate a huge ship.

How do the portals work? Bae’s supposedly took him to a place without magic. Killian’s is taking his to Neverland. Do you just think where you want to go and it takes you there?

Why didn’t Hook come over in the curse? Was he in the area with Cora and the people of the Safe Haven, or was he on his ship and somehow just not taken?

Observations:

There are sketches around Rumplestiltskin and Milah’s hovel. One of them is an artist.

Killian considers himself an honorable man and lives by a code.

The dwarves (and David) are hoping to find fairy dust in the mines below town.

There are rumors about why Rumplestiltskin became the Dark One and how he lost his son.

Rumplestiltskin told Bae his mother died, which at the time was a lie, but becomes true later when he kills her.

Rumplestiltskin has previously got his feelings out about himself while arguing with someone else in Skin Deep (talking to the Evil Queen through the mirror and beating up Moe about Belle being dead).

Killian does not tell Milah he loves her back when she is dying.

Killian’s left hand was cut off.

Killian already has heard of Neverland prior to becoming Captain Hook.

Once Upon a Time Firsts:

Introduction of Captain Killian Jones aka Captain Hook

Captain Hook referring to Rumplestiltskin as Crocodile

Names:

Killian is Gaelic for church. I don’t see Killian being much of a religious man, so it was probably just a name the writers liked.

Milah is from elements that mean gracious, dear. Milah was definitely not gracious for her life.

I am looking forward to more Captain Hook and seeing how he interacts with our Land Without Magic characters. We had no Emma or Mary Margaret this week, but I’m sure we’ll see them soon. It was great seeing more of Rumplestiltskin’s backstory and how he is the Crocodile in Captain Hook’s storyline. He’s also been the Fairy Godmother for Cinderella and the Beast for Belle. It’s interesting to see how he intersects with all these other fairy tales. Belle needs to get away from Gold stat! This is such an abusive relationship. Gold keeps saying he’s going to change, Belle believes him, he doesn’t change, she gets mad and leaves, rinse, lather, and repeat.

Please leave comments and reblog! Let me know if you’d like to be tagged in future reviews.

Wynonna Earp 2x07 Everybody Knows

Click here for previous recaps!

Stray thoughts

1) Okay… the “Previously On…” brings up several interesting points from season 1 – Bobo telling Waverly she’s not even an Earp, and Wynonna not really buying they’ve truly defeated the seven revenants. I hope this doesn’t ruin my figuring things out on my own as I watch this episode…

2) The Creepster’s sisters are pretending they fell asleep like everyone else and that they don’t know about the widows, but Wynonna is not buying it. Trust your instincts, girl.

3) A+ writing.

WYNONNA: Mercedes wasn't Mercedes! Usually, she's a fun bitch, not a bitch bitch, which is like "Whoa, bitch," but - It's a bitch thing.

I also noticed this is how Wynonna deflected and avoided answering Dolls’ questions about her seeing a doctor. But like, when would she have seen one? She found out she was pregnant and then boom! 3 to 6 months passed and they’ve been fighting demons since then, so...

4) I genuinely laughed at this…

5) Wynonna got a head rush and Dolls immediately called Doc and told him they had a Code Rainbow, and I can’t wait to find out how and when they came up with a code for Wynonna-related situations, and why is it called Rainbow?

6) The widows are burning Clootie’s head and she whispers “Holliday” and what about the connection between Clootie and Doc? And now someone is coming after Doc?! But they seem to be from the Wild West, like literally? WTF

7) This is the most Wynonna thing a pregnant Wynonna could do…

8) Dolls and Doc literally dragged a doctor to Wynonna’s to have her checked. Bless them. Also, bless the doctor. She seems like a cool lady who takes no bullshit and genuinely cares about her patient.

9) Doc is coughing… is he… getting his tuberculosis back now that Cootie is dead? Is their bond broken and he’s no longer immortal?

10) This is such a Spike reaction…

11) DOC MIGHT NOT BE THE DAD?!

12) Oh lord, Doc is having one of those days where nothing is coming up Doc! Now he’s been marked for capture and execution for a warrant that was filed against him 135 FUCKING YEARS AGO! Damn, these people know how to hold a grudge! Isn’t there a statute of limitations on these things?

13) Waverly is freaking out about Doc not being the dad, and tbh, so am I. He will be totally crushed!

14) And now Wynonna has to break it to him and he’s being the sweetest most perfect gentlemen and I’m crying?

DOC: So… May I ask - are you doing alright? WYNONNA: Of course you can ask. DOC: Things have changed since my day regarding male participation in these matters but I'll be as involved as you desire. No more, no less. All I want, and excuse me for being old-fashioned, is for you to be healthy for you to be as close to happy as possible. And I will do anything, I will give anything to ensure it. WYNONNA: You're such an asshole. DOC: Maybe I said it wrong.

He’s going to get his heartbroken, isn’t he?

And of course, she didn’t tell him...

15) I AM FUCKING JEREMY OKAY?!

JEREMY: I mean, imagine the little rascal if he has Doc's piercing blue eyes and Wynonna's luscious hair. I swear, seriously, we are going to be defenseless against such a glorious creature.

He even wants to babysit their baby, and so do I! But why is he assuming it’s going to be a boy? I’d wager it’s a girl.

16) You know, everyone gives Jeremy such a hard time, but he’s such a trooper. Accidentally or not, he just found some key evidence to figure out whether Mercedes and her sisters are the widows, okay? And he also figured out the location of the seal before that. He might be a doofus, but he gets shit done and he deserves some respect.

17) Nicole is mommysitting Wynonna and I love it, these two can and should become besties.

18) OMG Waverly just spilled the beans about the baby quite possibly not being Doc’s…

No, she won’t be better off!!!

19) So… Wynonna’s alter ego is Aphrodite and she is a stripper who worked at Pussy Willows. Sounds about right. But Wynonna is not about to tell her one-night stand that he might be a baby daddy. Instead… she plans on stealing a glass with his saliva on it to do a paternity test. That is the most rational way to deal with this situation.

20) WTF!

Is she having a revenant baby?!! Can revenants even have babies?!

21) I died!

22) And now Dolls is congratulating Doc and it’s like he’s inadvertently rubbing salt in his wound…

23) Nicole is getting hammered because she’s having all of Wynonna’s drinks. And now the revenant shows himself and he seems to be aware he had a one-night stand with the one and only Heir…

24) OMG Jeremy has just locked all them in here with his binding spell, didn’t he? Because they inhaled the thingy he was trying to bind?! This is not looking good for Doc! And Jeremy’s reaction…

25) Nicole is the cutest and the dumbest drunk but she still has game, I love her.

26) They are literally bound together, like one moves, the others do, too… Please let this last forever…

27) Or maybe not!

This whole scene was comedy gold!

28) The Sheriff who is after Doc is a phantom, they cannot hurt him, except… Dolls did? How?!

29) Wynonna just said “Abort! Abort!” and apologized to the baby and I died hahahaha!

30) Well, I guess this whole being bound together has brought some issues to the surface…

DOLLS: This is about a girl? You're the most selfish guy I know. You do whatever you want, whenever you want, and then when you get in trouble, you bring everybody down with you. DOC: Oh, I thought we were gonna be mature about things. I was leaving to face my demons on my own, which is how I work best. DOLLS: Wynonna, that baby, they need you, so this whole lone-wolf shit that you're doing, it ain't gonna cut it. 'Cause guess what, Doc, you're gonna be a daddy. DOC: Well, it is quite possible that I ain't. I reckon that should put your mind at ease.

Dolls does make a great point about Doc needing to stick around for Wynonna and the baby, whether it’s his or not. But I think what Doc was trying to do was take his problems somewhere else and not pile them on Wynonna and possibly put her and the baby in danger. Fleeing is always his first response in the face of trouble, but he has stuck around, hasn’t he?

31) Okay, now they’re facing a whole army of ghosts. That should be a piece of cake.

32) Wynonna now needs to figure out how to deal with the may-be revenant daddy of her might-be heir/revenant baby. Waverly suggests offing him, but… that feels wrong, somehow? It’s the baby’s daddy, after all. Wynonna is looking for an alternative, though.

33) Doc is about to be executed and he’s just told Dolls and Jeremy that he’s not going down without a fight, and like, if they’re still bound, that’s going to be hilarious.

34) Dolls just spoke on behalf of Doc and called him his brother and I’m over here like awwwwwwww! And he literally saved Doc by outranking the Sheriff. He actually pardoned Doc! They’re bros in love!

35) Oh god, I take it back, I take it back! He so does deserve to be shot in the fucking dick!

DOUCHEBAG: I remember that night. You stumbling in all doe-eyed drunk, working those West-coast hips to a little Lana teasing out lap dances for free. WAVERLY: Stop it! DOUCHEBAG: The place was crawling with revenants, and here you were performing for them all. Of course, I was the only one that knew you were the heir. I admit I was hoping you'd be a bit more of a challenge. I always heard you had a mouth on you. And you do. Hmm, baby, one smile from me, and those legs - popped right open. WAVERLY: Shut - your stupid, sexist pie hole! DOUCHEBAG: I believe we were talking - about her pie hole. WAVERLY: Enough. DOUCHEBAG: You see, we always thought the best way to defeat the heir was to kill her, Lucky for us, she's a whore who defeated herself by letting one of us get inside of her.

Bless Wynonna, she shot him. I just can’t believe she let him go that far. She still doesn’t know if the baby was his, though. And I know that plot-wise it would be much more interesting for the baby to be an heir/revenant hybrid, but can it please be Doc’s? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

36) “As Earp as you and me.” Now, that was a trigger…

Well, it was about damn time this was addressed, right? But like... now I’m afraid Waverly might be an heir/revenant hybrid herself? The douchebag mentioned it had happened once before, right? But then she would be an Earp...

37) What a fun episode! Damn, this show is always such a wild ride, and I have so much fun watching it! I’ll continue to pray for the baby to be Doc’s, okay? Although I’m 99% it’s going to be the revenant’s because plot twist, am I right? And whose daughter is Waverly? What about her history, indeed? And how did she end up with the Earps? Who is she connected to?

38) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if you’ve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi.Thanks!

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hi DAB family this is Missy from the Midwest I’m calling in response today to Lori’s call. She talked about how she went on the pilgrimage in 2019 and was baptized by Brian, how she overcame addiction through Jesus Christ and she’s now been six years sober. The story she gave was amazing. So, Lori I just wanted to tell you thank you for calling that in. I have someone in my family that is also very bogged down by demonic oppression along with addiction and I was convicted today to really seek God in prayer for that person and hearing your call really confirmed that. Thank you so much. God bless all.

Hi this is Travis I want to thank Grace who showed me this app. It’s been wonderful and I want to ask everybody who’s…who’s listening to pray for my son Brady. He suffers from absolute epilepsy and it’s a bad case. He has many as 20 seizures a day and he…he really suffers with it and at times he’s questioned God’s love for him in this…doesn’t know…doesn’t understand why this is happening to him and as many of you know seizures and when you have multiple of them they do affect your cognitive ability at some point and Brady has suffered with some of that. So, please pray for my son Brady. And also pray for his brother and mother who suffer with him and for me suffers with him. And one specific prayer request for me is that I not allow the stress of…of all this to cloud my vision and to see that God has so richly blessed us even in the midst of this trial and to help me rule my spirit and to control my spirit when anger and things, resentment bubble up and stress. It’s just a prayer request for…for all of us but most particularly for my son Brady. So, thank you all. Thank you for this broadcast it’s so richly blessed me just in a few days I’ve been listening and I’m spreading the word. Thank you all and thank you for your time in prayer for me and my son and my family.

Hi Daily Audio Bible this is Sierra from Florida I am 24 years old this is like my 18th recording because I keep stumbling over what I’m trying to say. But overall, I just wanted to say how blessed I am, or I feel that I found Daily Audio Bible. I’ve been looking, I been searching for something that I can listen to on the way to work… have an hour drive to work every day…that goes to the Bible and is engaging and relatable and I just really appreciated Brian’s commentary, but I find especially encouraging the end of each episode when people pray for each other. It makes me cry and I just love it so much. It’s very uplifting and I just wanted to pray blessings for you guys. If I could ask you guys around the community to pray for me. I just became a Christian about a year and half ago maybe. It was October 2018 and God has just been exploding in my life and I feel such a calling. And, so, I felt the call to go into the mission field and I’ve never been out of the country before and in one month I will…I’ve…God pulled through and the funding and everything. In one month, I’ll be going to a missionary school in Mexico and I’ll be three months there through YWAM and three months doing outreach and I have no idea where I’ll be, I’ll be somewhere else in the world, but I’ll be doing missions work for six months. So, I really just wanted some prayer, or I was just wondering if someone would pray for me for just spiritual courage. And I’m just walking totally in faith and I just everyday could use prayer. So, if you guys could pray for me, I would absolutely love that. I would be very blessed. And I just want to bless all of you. Thank you very much for just being there and existing. Have a good day.

Greetings DAB family today is Monday 2 March 2020 this is Daddy’s Dreamer from Tampa or DDFT for short. I’m going through a lot with my preteen children and would appreciate your general prayers regarding me and my kids, but I thought I would give my family greater insight into my callsign. In this season of my life I have taken one Corinthians 2:9 as my life verse – “what no lie is seen no ear has heard and no human heart conceived, God has prepared these things for those who love Him.” I have meditated on this verse and it has brought me such joy. One day we will not have to endure the scientific rules of this world perhaps. As Pink Paint has suggested the Lord may introduce us to new colors, new musical notes and maybe even emotions and a state of mind that would’ve been impossible to experience here on earth. I have a military background and often suggest to my coworkers and compare heaven to possibly be the ultimate mission. It all may sound simple and stupid, but it really does excite me to the core. I love this family and tell everybody that will listen about this community. Keep pressing play new DABbers. This is DDFT. Stay positive and always let His light shine through you. Bye-bye.

Hi this is Tammy in Kentucky and I wanted to call and ask for prayer for everything going on in my life. I have an adopted son from foster care. We’ve ha d him for about 3 ½ years and he’s 17 ½ and this morning we woke up at six something and he had left to go visit his girlfriend who lives an hour and a halfway. I mean, he’s only known her like two weeks. He just constantly finds new girlfriends. And she was diagnosed yesterday with flu and strep. And just…these are the things he does. He’s very impulsive and just never even tells us. Then I get so torn up about because these are not things you should do, and I worry about his actions and what he’s doing. My husband and I stress and fight over this and we have such marital issues. I just don’t know where to turn sometimes and I usually talk to my dad, but my parents died within the past eight months. So, I don’t have that rock to turn to. So, I just feel so alone at times. So, I just need prayer. We need prayer for our adopted son. I want him to follow Jesus and we’ve tried the past three years that he’s been with us but it’s…it’s…I’m hoping we planted a seed for down the road. You know, we want him gone in six months when he turns 18. It’s just not a good situation. So, please pray for us. Thank you. My time is running out.

Good morning DABber family this is Wala the Burning Bush that will not be Devoured for the Glory of our God and King. I just heard a prayer from truly thankful Taylor, and she was praying for stay at home parents. And Taylor as you were praying, my heart is lifted because my mom was a stay-at-home parent and I swear she’s the best mom in the world. And one of the best things in my life was coming home just always knowing that she was always there. And up until now, being a mother myself, my mom is my hero and she is my favorite person in the world. And she passed a couple years ago but she’s still my favorite person in the world. So, I just want to encourage you and let you know that what you’re doing right now, it is a blessing and it is an investment that will not go in vain. And I just want to encourage all to stay at home parents out there, I honestly wish I could afford to stay at home, but I can’t. And, so, I am really like just…kudos to you parents that are stay-at-home and loving your babies and being there for them and offering them what they would not be able…you can’t pay for it…you cannot buy it. Anyway, that’s it. May the Lord bless and keep you. May He cause His face to shine upon you, give you peace. And that prayer is for all my DABber family. Give you peace. May His favor be upon you for a thousand generations - your children and your children’s children. Love you.

just lots and lots of very long-winded, random thoughts about last night’s finale and the show itself...

so obvs no one has to agree with me on any of this, i just feel like there likely ARE ppl who feel like this and it’s easy to get shut down on tumblr for having different opinions, and i mostly just need to gather my feelings and thoughts in one place.

-ive seen a handful of ppl upset that the last ep centered around reid, but if you were to take 10 fans of this show, it’s a pretty good chance that 8 or 9 of them would say reid is their fave character. that isn’t me trying to insult any of the other characters, that’s just the way it is. whether it’s bc of his looks (and my lord was he gorgeous in this finale ep), or that he’s your typical cute white boi, or more organic reasons like he’s been there since day 1 and we were able to watch him change and grow, and he’s the opposite of the typical male characters we often see, especially on cop shows.. whatever the reason, he is a VERY popular tv character. and if it weren’t for that character, for better or worse, this show would have ended a long time ago.

-the ending itself.. i just feel like i don’t know what ppl were expecting?? this is not a show like supernatural or dexter or a show that has had a fluent overarching story to tell from start to finish. the story continues without us watching it. it’s another day at the office for them. was it a great ending? no, but it was fine. we see where all of them are headed. endings are so difficult, i’m just glad they didn’t kill anyone off or some garbage like that.

-so damn happy they hooked up luke and garcia. i have had such issues with garcia’s character since morgan left, i feel like she became a caricature, where she just overacts and i recently read an article with kirsten where she actually admitted that when shemar left she really didn’t know what to do with her character anymore. honestly? it showed. the obnoxiousness to luke was cute at first bc she obviously had a crush on him, but then it just became mean and out of character. this season i was happy to see her get a little bit more back to herself. all this being said, they were very clearly headed towards getting luke and garcia together this season with the overt flirting and one on one convo’s, i’m so glad they went through with it instead of leaving it open ended. and i will admit that of all the characters, i didn’t think garcia would be the one to leave, but it made sense. garcia is tough as hell, much tougher than she gives herself credit for, but like luke said, she can do this other job without the gore that she cringes over in literally every single episode of the show. also loved jj saying garcia was the glue of the team. so true, so well said. and side note, kirsten does a hell of a job writing these characters that she knows all too well, the other writers should’ve just let her take over in later seasons.

-prentiss... i love my emily so dang much, but man they give her the absolute worst dialogue. she gets stuck with all these long sentences that just.. they just don’t flow?? and it takes me out of the show so often. this has been since s12 when she became unit chief. there has been a handful of times since she became the boss that we have had flashes of old school smartass goth girl emily, and i cherished each moment, but it wasn’t enough. somewhere along the way they forgot how to write into the show that their characters had PERSONALITY. just as an example of the stupid dialogue she gets.. the end of the ep where it’s intended to look like rossi’s retirement party. then, idk who it was, emilys boyfriend maybe(?) says some dumb comment about oh gee i thought this was dave’s retirement! and then emily starts some awkwardly long line that could’ve been summed up in “dave decided not to retire afterall” and it was just soooo... weird?!!? if we are agreeing that A MONTH has gone by.. you are to tell me that it never once came up that dave said he was gonna retire and then changed his mind!??! that night, one month later, is the first that this discussion occurred!!?!?! and all of these dumb lines come out sounding so robotic, and i can’t blame paget, bc the lines are boring as hell. also unless i missed something i can’t rule emily out of being the next director, especially since their profile ended up being correct, lynch and the mom didn’t kill themselves, so i’m sure when that all came out, the next hurdle emily would have to clear is how they just blew up their very expensive jet right after having a budget meeting 2 episodes ago!!

- i’m gonna lump the newer characters together.. and just say that it was all too little, too late. they tried to give matt and luke more this season, and the ep’s centered on them were great, but it all felt forced to me. all this character development should’ve started as soon as they came onto the show. the relationships between the new and original characters also feels forced a lot of times, barring relationships like rossi and his boys, luke and garcia, tara and emily.. i mean that’s kind of all, right? we never saw much off-the-job, personal interactions between them and the rest of the characters, did we? and the way tara was treated on this show is inexcusable. aisha’s talents were so underused on this show it was criminal (pun intended). and actually, the above stuff i said about emily getting nonsense dialogue, you can throw matt in there too. his dialogue was friggin god awful at times on this show. in the words of early seasons reid, maybe try to be more conversational, writers!!

-man oh man was jj a badass and a half in this finale. tbh i always enjoyed liaison jj more than ssa jj, but when badass jj comes out i get all excited. i do feel like she would be the best fit to take over if emily left, she’d stepped into that role before and excelled. but she is another character that at times i think the writers just forgot how to write her personality somewhere along the way. i understand that the reality is that people change over time, but there were times that she was written like a typical high school mean girl, and that was just an insult to the character they created. the whole jeid thing was severely overblown and unnecessary. i don’t hate the idea of them being together, but why wait til s14-15 to deal with this? in the end i thought it was handled okay, i personally didn’t feel like it ruined their friendship or stayed awkward, which i appreciated, it was just a storyline that wasn’t needed and wasted time. also, ppl griping about “oh but she clearly loves will, if she loves spencer then she can’t love will!” i mean, actually, ppl are capable of loving more than one person at a time, hate to burst that bubble for ya.

-this seems like a good moment though to pause and just get this out about will lamon-fuckin-tagne jr... this guy is too good for jj lol, i am sorry but he is such a great guy. and can we review some things about will and his wife’s bestest friend, godfather to his children, spencer reid?? when will and spencer first met, it was during an unbelievably personal case to will, i mean his father died sending him a message about this case that the fbi was called in on. and his first intro with reid?? let’s see, reid spent that ep strung out on drugs, and full on abandoning the case to go hang out with his friend at a club/bar/lounge/whatever. ok, so that’s will’s first impression of jj’s bestie, and will STILL okay’d him being the godfather of his kids. not to mention, can you imagine your wife has been gone in the damn middle east for who even knows how long, then when she finally gets back and you think you’re gonna have her to yourself, but oh no, here comes jj’s friggin bestie again to come cry on the couch every night for several weeks!!!! and he gives zero indication of not liking spencer, in fact he seems rather fond of him. will is the most patient man ever, i swear.

-ok that was an unexpected side track. moving onto rossi. not sure why they were all like oh pfft this guy will never retire. the dude literally retired before the show started lol. if he retired once, when he was fairly young, why is the idea of it happening again so impossible? again, dumb dialogue. i loved the stuff with him and young gideon (i may be biased tho bc i’m just so damn proud of ben savage), i loved that rossi knew more about the jet than the others, however that was an inconsistency bc when rossi came back from retirement, he couldn’t believe the bau had its own jet. unless i just misunderstood what emily meant when she said it all started with rossi and gideon. i felt like lynch was a very underwhelming villain. super forgettable. there was no charisma like foyet or cat adams, there was no creep factor like mr scratch, there was no mystery like the replicator or the fisher king. his whole story just fell flat, and if there were anything interesting about him whatsoever, it’s bc of what rossi brought to the table, not the “chameleon”.

-my boy reid. he has several lifetimes of baggage to unpack, and i think of all the characters on this show, no one hates unpacking their trauma more than reid. i feel like it was so relatable that he could barely speak in this ep without sounding on the verge of tears, like every sentence was painful to even get out bc of how much hurt is stored up inside him. his trauma has defined him for years now, and if they had ended the show without addressing even some of it, the show would’ve been incomplete. i understand that actors schedules just don’t work out sometimes, but idk what the point was of having strauss and foyet be his devil and angel. and foyet’s long explanation of how bc he changed hotch, he changed the team was so convoluted that he may as well have just said “they couldn’t get james van der beek or the dude who played mr scratch, so im here instead”. i liked what they did with reid and maeve, and i actually don’t mind that there was no mention of max. they’re still very early in their relationship, and i feel like him coming out with some “wait i think i love max!” revelation would just be too fast and ooc. we already know that the relationship between them is growing, it doesn’t need to be said. and can i get an amen that maeve and reid didn’t kiss bc god that would’ve been weird as hell.

- i hate that we couldn’t have hotch or morgan or blake or elle or any of the main characters that helped make this show what it was, but i’m still grateful for the crumbs they gave us if the actors just couldn’t be booked for whatever reason. i’ve seen many shows at their end just try to pretend their previous characters never existed, so that we got some flashbacks with them was appreciated.

- RIP bau jet. i wiiiill reMEMber youuuuuuu.

-the song choice of david bowie’s Heroes was perfection. strangely, when i was driving home from work yesterday that song came on my playlist and i blasted it on repeat and performed a car concert for my fellow drivers on the road, and thought to myself that this song would be great for cm to end on. never thought they would actually do it since they had previously used the song in penelope’s ep. but what a great scene of all them dancing and singing and laughing like the bunch of nerdy idiots they are.

-i came late into the game with this show. ppl have been telling me for years to watch it and i only picked up watching in s13, after i read a spn/cm crossover fic and became super curious about who all these awesome characters were. with that said, i’m aware that since i haven’t invested years of my life in this show, that my feelings and thoughts about the ending will be different than those who have been hooked on this show for over a decade. i’m still just so thankful for the family portrayed by this show, and these characters i fell in love with, and episodes i’ll never forget.

I Like Me Better (Chapter 18) - A Solangelo Fic

Chapter 18: Don’t know about you but I can feel it in this room

(Chapter 1 || Chapter 2 || Chapter 3 || Chapter 4 || Chapter 5 || Chapter 6 || Chapter 7 || Chapter 8 || Chapter 9 || Chapter 10 || Chapter 11 || Chapter 12|| Chapter 13 || Chapter 14 || Chapter 15 || Chapter 16 || Chapter 17) || Read on AO3

Chapter Summary: Where the only one who realized that it was some sort of a date was not Will, nor Nico.

Nico sat on the stool, watching Will who was taking out some stuff from the fridge.

“I don’t know that you can cook,” Nico said.

Will turned his head. He flashed a half-smile at Nico as he nudged the fridge’s door with his elbow to close it.

“Well,” he said, and put some vegetables on the counter. “I didn’t know either that you can bake.”

Will shrugged his shoulders as he flashed another small smile. He turned around so that his back was facing Nico.

“What are you going to make?” Nico asked, trying to ignore the fact that he was staring at Will’s ass who was opening the cabinet door.

“Beef and broccoli,” Will said without looking at Nico. “Now if only I can find that… Ah, there it is,” Will said, and reached out for something on the top shelf. Will was tall enough that he didn’t really have to tiptoe to reach it. But still, his shirt went up as he stretched his arms up, to reach whatever it was that he needed. A strip of skin peeked out, the glorious skin a nice contrast of Will’s white shirt that he was wearing.

Nico had to forcefully look away from the sight in front of him before his train of thought went too far. He gazed around the apartment. The floor plan was basically the mirror image of Nico’s apartment, with the same basic furniture. But the knick-knack and some small details around the room were what made it different. While it looked a bit more scattered than Nico’s, there was just something that made it looked warmer.

The sound of door creaked opened, followed with footsteps coming from one of the bedrooms made Nico turned his head.

“Hey, Nico. How is it going, man?” Austin greeted him as he leaned his shoulder against the wall.

Nico flashed him a smile. “Am alright. How are you?”

“Not so bad,” Austin turned his head to Will. “You’re cooking?”

“Uh huh,” Will said, lifting his head up from the chopping board. “And Nico’s joining us for dinner,” he said, grinning at Austin.

“Really?” Austin’s turned his head back to Nico. “You’re staying tonight?”

“Will offered me free dinner, and hey… I am just a college student!” Nico said, shrugging his shoulders.

“It’s probably ready in an hour,” Will said as he was pouring soy sauce into the bowl of beef strips. “Beef and broccoli, and I am also making eggdrop soup.”

“That, sounds amazing,” Austin said, then his eyes darted back to Nico. For a split second, something flashed across Austin’s face, but a grin quickly took over his face before Nico was really sure about it. “Unfortunately, I think… I’ll have to pass tonight,” Austin said, angling his neck a little to look at Will.

Will stopped chopping onion, looking at Austin with confusion. “Huh? Why?”

“Well,” Austin said, straightened up his back. “I just remember that I need to go to the computer lab. My laptop is not fast enough for me to do my MatLab coding.”

“Oh, damn. I’ll save some and put it in the fridge,” Will said.

“Yeah,” Austin said. “But hey, at least you have someone to have dinner with tonight, right Nico?” Austin winked at Nico before he turned around and went back to his room.

Nico felt like he was not supposed to blush at that, but somehow he felt his cheeks were warmer.

Will himself didn’t seem to care as he already continued chopping the onion.

“Hey, Neeks? You know what, I was just starting to watch this TV show…” Will said as he put aside the chopped onion, and took a broccoli. Nico quickly forgot about what Austin said and listened to Will talking about the TV show.

About ten minutes later, Will was still trying to convince Nico to also watch Voltron, when Austin walked out of his room, his backpack on his shoulders.

He waved at Nico and Will as he walked past them to the door.

“Bye, Nico. See you later, Will.”

“Bye, Austin. Good luck with your codes,” Will said, as Nico gave a small wave at Austin.

“Anyway, where was I?” Will asked after Austin left.

“Your theory about Keith and Lance,” Nico said.

“Ah, yes… So, in like episode 4 of that season, there was this scene…” Will kept talking while continued working with the ingredients. Nico sat on the stool, watching him fondly as Will talked passionately as he kept on working with the kitchen utensils. There was just something endearing to see Will doing something so…domestic like this.

“And I swear that Keith was only being -“ Will’s fiery explanation was cut by a chirping sound from his phone that was lying on the kitchen island. “Hold on a second,” Will said, grabbing his phone. He looked at the screen. “Austin,” he said as he slid his finger on the screen. “Probably making sure that I save some food for him.”

Nico popped a grape into his mouth, but then he saw Will’s brows furrowed down.

“What?” He asked, a bit concerned when he saw Will was slightly frowning. “Is he okay?”

“I don’t know,” Will said. “I just… don’t understand what he said in his text.”

“Oh? What did he say?”

Will looked up from his phone for a second. He pushed away a lock of hair from his forehead. “He asked me whether I wanted him to stay somewhere else for the night.”

Nico’s brows furrowed down in confusion. “Huh? Why?”

“I don’t know,” Will said, already looking back to his phone as he typed a reply. “Maybe he forgot his key and didn’t want to keep me awake waiting for him? I am asking him whether he forgot his key.” “Probably,” Nico said. “If he needs his keys, we can go to the computer lab to give it to him. Or I can stay with you to wait for him?”

“Yeah… We can do that,” Will said absently, still having his eyes on the phone. A second later, his phone went off again. Nico watched as Will read the message. Will raised his eyebrows. He shrugged his shoulders as he put his phone back on the kitchen island.

“Never mind. He has his keys with him. So we don’t have to worry about it.”

“Oh,” Nico said, popping in another piece of grape. “Okay. Good, then.”

At the back of his mind, he still didn’t understand what Austin meant, and probably Will didn’t either. But Will continued talking again, this time gushing about a character named Shiro, and that thought quickly disappeared from Nico’s mind.

***

“This is nice,” Nico said two hours later as he rested his back on the couch. On the TV screen was an old episode of Parks and Recreation. He made a deal with Will that he might consider watching Voltron if Will would watch Nico’s favorite TV series. So once dinner was ready, they brought the food and placed them on the coffee table, and Nico introduced Will to the city of Pawnee and its absurd citizens. Next to him, Will chuckled. Nico turned his head, finding Will was staring at him with a soft smile on his lips.

“What?” Will asked.

Nico raised his eyebrows. “What what?”

“What is nice?” Will asked again, and Nico really hoped that Will didn’t have that soft smile on his lips, that Will’s eyes were not that blue, because those things were just too distracting.

“Well, you know…” Nico rested the back of his head against the couch.

Being with you was nice. Doing anything with you was nice. Doing nothing with you was nice.

“The dinner,” Nico said, bracing himself to glance at Will. At first they sat at the opposite ends of the couch, leaving a respectable distance of personal space between them. But three episodes of Parks and Rec later, between laughing at Tom’s sassy dialogues and chuckling at April’s sarcastic remarks on practically everything, they were only separated by a throw pillow between them now.

Will chuckled. “Well,” he said, stretching his legs to the coffee table. “Good to know you like my cooking.”

“Hey, if the whole pre-med school doesn’t work out, you can actually start a restaurant. Or a catering service.”

Will laughed lightly, but kept his eyes on the screen.

“We should do this again sometimes,” Nico said, focusing his eyes on the screen as he tried to ignore how his heartbeat went faster. Will laughed at something that April said, then glanced at Nico.

“Do what?”

“This. You know, dinner, watching TV…” Nico moved his hand in vague circular motions. “Just…you know… relaxing.”

Will snorted at that. “Yeah, like we have the time to do some relaxing stuff…”

Something heavy filled in Nico’s chest. He let out a sigh as his shoulders slumped down a bit.

“Yeah,” he said, staring at Ron Swanson on the screen.

It was quiet for a while except for the dialogues coming from the TV, and Nico started wondering whether he should go now. Not that he wanted to but it was almost 11 now and-

“How about this Friday?”

“Huh?” Nico turned his head to Will again. “This Friday? What’s with it?”

“I can cook dinner again and maybe…to make it fair… You make something that we can have as dessert?” Will said.

Nico blinked. “But…you said you don’t have time?”

Will slowly turned his head at Nico, his cheeks were faintly tinted with bright colors. And it took a lot from Nico not to grab Will’s face and kiss that shy smile from his lips.

“Uh… Relaxing for just once a week won’t kill, I guess?” Will said. He sounded hesitant, but there was something similar to unspoken hope in his blue eyes. Will cleared his throat, then continued. “But I mean, if you are busy it’s-“

Nico quickly grabbed the throw pillow and used it to hit Will’s shoulder. “Hey, you are the one who said you’re too busy!”

The color on Will’s cheeks was even brighter now. “Well… I mean-“

“I’ll make some Panna Cotta then,” Nico said, cutting Will mid-sentence.

Will’s brows shot up. “What is that?”

Nico grinned. “You’ll see on Friday,” he said, making a mental note to go to the store tomorrow to grab some gelatin.

Will chuckled. “Will it go well as a dessert for some Mediterranean food?”

“Hmm…” Nico tapped his chin lightly, pretending like he was contemplating an answer. “I guess so?”

“We’ll see on Friday, then,” Will said, a grin spread across his face.

“Yeah, Friday.”

“And since I watch Parks and Rec, I guess it’s only fair if we watch Voltron that Friday,” Will added. He schooled his face into a serious expression, but the twinkle in his eyes betrayed it.

Nico snorted. “Yeah. Sure.”

It’s Monday evening, and Friday is only a few days away.

Yet, Nico felt Friday was a bit too far away.

He would wait, though. He’d wait.

Note

Maybe I'm a rarity, but I have to say that as a 40 year old female I'm still looking for sex on a pretty consistent basis. Life may get a little more hectic as you get older, but the drive is still there. I think people in Hollywood tend to forget that about females. I think that might be the most frustrating part about the lack of sexual situations between Stef and Lena. I'm not saying that they have to show them having sex on a consistent basis. But just implied would be good.

I am certainly not suggesting that a 40 year old woman wouldn’t have a high sex drive. I don’t know if you’re single. It is a often the case that being in a long term relationship makes sex more challenging. Ironically for me, it was way more challenging in my first long term relationship than it is now. Still, I get that part of the show. I don’t like the way sex is always an issue. They have only ever had sex just because ONCE that I can think of and that’s when Lena put on the cop outfit. That’s not ok. It’s not a healthy representation. I blame Joanna for this.

Anonymous said: I'm willing to bet about a $1.75 (because I'm just a poor educator) that the pic we got today will be about the only clip of Stef and Lena we get in the promo on Monday. What's your call? The fact that the clip of Brandon and some random chick, that wasn't even in the first episode, made the cut for the last promo gives me 0 hope for anything even remotely close to promoting the Mamas. *sigh*

I would not be surprised. I was happy to get that one pic of them. I am pretty sure that pictures is from episode 2. I hope the promo is less focused on Callie because I am sick of her. I had a dream that the premiere was extremely devoid of stef and lena. It was very upsetting. That’s sad.

Anonymous said: Do you think would be upset about Callie ? Like blame herself or something ? She looks said in that pic. Not that it has to be about a Callie.

Like I said, it seems to be from episode 2. I think she might blame herself a bit. I mentioned before that she probably should feel bad. she knows what Callie is like and should not have involved her in her case at all. Could be about Jesus. Ultimately, I like that Lena is just supporting her. I love

Anonymous said: Every episode, which only a few exceptions, makes it seem like this season is going to once again be The Callie Show. No. No thank you. I'm good

Well, I’ll put up with it but I won’t love it. Callie with Aaron isn’t doing it for me. Aaron is an ass. Callie was callous with AJ.

Anonymous said: Hey did we ever figure out where Lena grew up. We know she went to Berkeley college but did she grow up near there? I don't think Lena grew up in CA but maybe I'm wrong. I don't think they told us but was making sure I didn't miss something. Asking for writing, thanks.

Not really but she went UC Berkeley (not Berkeley college) and I believe her mom is a professor there, so we can probably assume she grew up in the bay area. That is my head canon.

Anonymous said: Have you read "Only Love can hurt like this " on fanfiction.. heads up don't !

I think I know which one you mean and no worries. I never would. It’s not labeled correctly and that’s my biggest beef with it. You want to write shit and shitty stories, fine but tag your shit couples. Don’t try to trap shippers into reading shit.

Anonymous said: When you thought you cannot ship Teri & Sherri more, there are these "feed your wife" with birthday cake videos, and the deleted one, which is everything, the way they look at each other, and Teri's tongue ;) I cherish their friendship everyday, love them!

I do too, and Sherri saying, thank you for being born Teri Polo is everything. And Sherri ate that cake straight from Teri’s mouth lol

Anonymous said: After seeing Sherri's Instagram message to Teri where she called her an empress I vaguely remember her calling Teri her queen multiple times in the past. Do you remember that? Because it's been really bothering me the last couple of times that Kamar has called Sherri his queen and that might be why. 😂😂 And I really want to know what was said in that video with no sound. That tongue action.... I don't know how Sherri resists. I mean, I'm not gay either but even I wanted to kiss her. 😂😂😂

I felt like Sherri wanted to be a little extra. Everyone overuses Queen, for Teri, so she went above and beyond and said empress. She also went above by not saying my love, but “my magical love.” People swear to me that in the tongue video you can see sherri say something like “my girlfriend.” lol I have no idea. I love how Sherri does not even blink or shy away from that wandering tongue.

Anonymous said: Oh my god... Teri is so HOT! Come on, is it wrong of me to find her so sexy even when I have a girlfriend!?

Nope, these are healthy fantasies lol. I have a wife and I can think these two are hot. I think she knows I have a thing for Sherri lol

Anonymous said: I feel like we are going to get another season of the kids being around their BF/GF more than their family. That's totally normal with teens. Not wanting to hang out with their family as much. But we need some family scenes.

Joanna says family but then she says we’ll have immigration, human trafficking, etc. I don’t think they know how to let go.

Anonymous said: What's going on in 5x07? I know you don't think it'll be good but why? Also, an rhetorical question, but why the fuck is gabe still around in 8?!!!

I hate Gabe. I don’t know why he’s there at all. 7 has Gabe I think and the kids running around, Callie off somewhere with aaron, yawn. It does have Lena and her parents so I hope the focus is on that, but half the episode will be callie and aaron getting closer and I am already bored.

Anonymous said: Do you think monte sent the tweet about her and Lena in season 3 ep 9 ?

That’s an unresolved question. When you sit down and think about it, who else would do it? Sally? Who the fuck would plant that seed in her head? Only one person... Monte.

Anonymous said: Sherri looks beat in those new pics. Definitely doesn't look like the face of someone who just had a relaxing time with her hubby for their anniversary. I'm just saying....

Well, i don’t know. She looked fine in all the birthday videos.

Anonymous said: Seriously, there's just something about Kamar that is off. I just can't put my finger on it. He's such an odd dude. And such an egomaniac. And he has muscles, but his frame is very feminine. There's a pic on his or Sherri's Instagram where he is crawling in the boys play tunnel, and his bottom half is out and I thought for SURE it was Sherri. But it was him. Hey, to each their own. But honestly? My gaydar pings like crazy whenever I see him. And it's not usually wrong.

You’re not the first to talk to me about gaydar though. It’s like I tell people, just because I like Stef and Lena doesn’t mean I have to love everything that Sherri and Teri and Brad and Peter and Joanna do. I am not that fan. I am not going to see Brad’s show because it’s not my thing. I won’t go just because it’s fosters’ related. Anyway, point is. I am glad that Sherri loves Kamar, but I don’t have to :) Just like I refuse to watch Teri’s last movie, no matter how good she was in it. I can’t think of a more offensive movie.

Girl Meets Season 4 - Episode 17

Girl Meets Season 4 - The Continuing Saga of Riley and her friends as they tackle their Sophomore year in High School. The ups, the downs, and everything in between. What will their sophomore year be like? Read and find out.

Episodes [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]

17. Girl Meets Lucas’ Memory

Lucas woke up thinking that he dreamed of Riley and talking to her in the middle of the night, but he knew better because she’s usually asleep when he sends her messages in the middle of the night. But when he looked at his phone he realized that it had been real and that she wanted to meet him at the café. He looked at the clock and rushed to get dressed, he shift started the moment the doors opened but it was usually quiet this early on Saturday mornings, until just about noon when all the students woke up looking for coffee.

When he got to Topanga’s he noticed Riley automatically and how tired she looked, had she slept at all? He wondered but then remembered the messages and realized that she hadn’t slept at all, so whatever it was that weigh on her mind was something huge.

“Hey Riley,” he said as he walked inside worried that she was going to collapse.

“Meg,” she called out to their weekend assistant manager. “I’m going to sit down if that’s okay?”

“Go ahead, it’s a quiet morning anyway, and drink some coffee you look dead on your feet,” Meg said as she took over the counter stocking up the pastries.

Riley sat down at a booth and slowly sipped her coffee, Lucas watched her worried because she looked so tired.

“I have to ask you about something,” she said as she finished her coffee.

“Go ahead, you asked me to meet you,” he said looking at her tired eyes. “But promise me you’ll get some sleep today?”

“I will, I only have a half shift today,” she said smiling at him. “I’m here until noon and then I’m gone.”

“I’ll wait for you if that’s okay… I don’t want you falling asleep somewhere.”

“Okay,” she said before yawning. “Anyway, I need to ask you something serious…um… about the triangle.”

Lucas didn’t know where this was coming from, it was the one part of their relationship that he had wanted to forget. Even though there had been some good times it had felt like more of a strain to not show that he liked one girl over the other.

“What do you want to know?” he asked afraid of the reason why she was asking.

“I want to tell you something but you have to swear that you won’t say anything,” she said her eyes pleading for him to keep whatever she was about to say between them. “Please.”

“Riley, you’re scaring me.”

“It’s just that it has to do with Zay… and Maya.”

“I promise, and if I break that promise I’ll run around the block in only shorts and sneakers the next time it snows.”

“That’s a little extreme but I’ll take your word for it,” she said looking at her empty cup. “So… you know how Zay is going on these dates with Maya right.”

“Yeah, he’s so excited about it.”

“Maya only asked him out because she saw Josh with another girl, and she thinks that she shouldn’t wait for him anymore.”

“Was he on a date with her?”

“No, they were studying for some midterm, but Maya has it in her head that the best way to get over her feelings for Josh is to go out with Zay and I don’t want Zay to get hurt.”

“What does the triangle have anything to do with Maya trying to move on?”

“Josh loves Maya,” she said and he could all of a sudden understand her reasoning towards the question about the triangle. “Josh is where I was when everything happened, he’s pushing his feelings aside because he’s afraid of what he feels for Maya and he doesn’t want to hurt her. Maya on the other hand is bringing Zay into all of this and in the end someone is going to get hurt…. So I wanted to know about how you felt during the triangle.”

“Well,” he started wondering where he should begin, so he decided to start at the beginning, “New Year’s was the best and worst day of my life, well second to when you called me your brother in Texas because I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend and you… well you know…” he took a deep breath trying to reconcile his feelings for something that had happened so long ago. “Anyway, being stuck between you and Maya was bad, but not as bad as losing you completely. I mean I liked Maya but it was more of a sibling rivalry, but it wasn’t what I was feeling for you, but I only did it because it was what you wanted.”

She couldn’t look him in the eye and he knew that she was thinking about other things. “How did you feel when I went out with Charlie?” she said after a minute.

“Honestly, it was like being kicked in the stomach repeatedly,” he sighed before he took her hand. “I didn’t like it Riley, it hurt but at the time I thought you honestly thought of us as siblings and I wanted to respect your feelings so I held back even though it was killing me from the inside.”

“Sorry,” she said.

“Riley, stop, everything that happened during that year was as much my fault as it was yours and Maya’s, I should have fought harder but I was too preoccupied with making sure I made you happy that I forgot that my feelings mattered as well.”

“That’s what I’m afraid of,” she said to him squeezing his hand. “Josh is going to fall apart, he says he’s doing it because he wants Maya to be happy, because he doesn’t want to hurt her and have her lose herself, but in the end she’s already losing herself trying to act like she needs to move on.”

“And in the end who is going to be hurt when everything comes out?”

“Zay, and I don’t want him to get hurt.”

“For Zay, I think he’s had this crush on Maya for a while, but even he knows somewhere deep down that it’s not what she feels for him. I think he knows how Maya feels about Josh but he wants that chance to prove himself.”

“What are we going to do?”

“We could lock all three of them in a room until they admit their feelings,” he said smiling. “It’s what I wanted to do with you.”

“You should have, we could have avoided a lot of things.”

“We’ll lock them in your room, we could have the windows locked, and prop your door with something so they won’t get out.”

“Okay,” she said, but he saw how tired she was. “Let me get back to work, we can plan later.”

“Okay,” he said getting up. “I’m going to run home and grab some rope because we’re going to fix this, even if I have to tie them to each other.”

Riley worked until noon, only to have to stay when it started getting busy, for some reason they had a lot more people on a Saturday than usual. Lucas had stopped by to check on her, making sure to have her text Maya to meet her at the bay window at four before her date with Zay. He also told her that he had called Zay telling him to stop by her house to pick up something and that it couldn’t wait. Riley asked Josh to come meet her at Topanga’s and told him it was because her parents wanted him to come over for dinner. She felt bad for lying to all of them but she didn’t want this to get as far as it did after Texas so she made sure that they were all there.

When she walked into her room after her shift, she saw Maya waiting at the bay window wearing jeans and a sweater. “Come on Riles I have to meet Zay in twenty minutes,” she said looking at her phone to check the time.

“Just a minute,” she said as she pushed Zay into the room, he was tied up thanks to Lucas.

“What the hell?” Zay said as he landed on her bed. Lucas had done the same trick he had done on Maya during her fourteenth birthday. Lucas was behind her with a tied up Josh who looked grumpier than he had when she saw him the night before when she saw him at the movies.

“Okay Lucas,” she said to her boyfriend who caught Maya with his rope and tied her up too. The three sides of this current triangle were moved to the window where they were all tied up to each other.

“Explain before I kill you,” Maya said struggling against the ropes.

“Yeah Riley,” Josh said, he had looked as tired as Riley felt the only one who looked fine was Zay.

“You’re all going to go through an exercise,” Riley said looking at them all. “You all have to work out your feelings, because I’m not going to live through another Triangle.”

“What do you mean?” Zay said looking between all of them only to realize what was happening.

“Sorry Zay,” Riley said knowing that Zay had just realized the position he was in.

Riley and Lucas walked out of the room and locked the door behind them. At this moment it was up to the three people tied up in the room to figure out what they were going to do.

Maya couldn’t understand what was happening, she had told Riley about wanting to not wait for Josh, she had told her that she wanted to see if she could find something with Zay. Except now she was tied to the both of them, with so much rope between them that getting out was impossible.

“I’m going to kill them,” she said as she tried to get up, but was met with resistance.

“What did Riley mean about not living through another triangle?” Zay asked looking over at Maya.

She felt guilty all of a sudden, because she had used Zay as a way to get over Josh. “I don’t know, I really don’t.”

Josh just stayed quiet and it bothered her, he looked so tired and his eyes were puffy and she didn’t know why. She wanted to ask him if something had happened, if the girl he had been with had broken his heart but she couldn’t.

“Maya do you still like Josh,” Zay said when they had been silent for a few minutes, but she didn’t answer. “Maya, are you using me to get over Josh?”

The guilt was eating her up from the inside. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said trying to deflect from what he was asking.

“Damn,” he said as he looked out at Riley’s room. “I’m your Charlie Gardner.”

“What?” Maya said looking up at him, even Josh turned his head in surprise.

“Maya what’s he talking about?” Josh said for the first time.

“Maya is using me the same way Riley used Charlie to get over Lucas after she found out about Maya’s feelings for Lucas… when we were in Texas. So that means that you my friend are hiding something from her.”

“Josh?”

“I told her not to say anything to anyone,” he said looking down at the ground. “I wanted to let you have a chance at happiness, so I stepped back.”

“Oh for crying out loud,” Maya said throwing her head back.

“You and Riley I swear are like two peas in a pod,” Zay said. “I wonder if it’s a Matthews’ family trait, you know to hide your feelings and letting the person you love get away.”

“Zay I’m sorry,” Josh said looking over at the other boy. “No one was supposed to find out about any of this. I was just going to stay on campus and not come over.”

“My question is when did Maya decide to move forward?” Zay said looking directly at her. She felt like squirming from the look in his eye. “Maya, they did this for a reason, we have to be honest. Riley’s right our friendships can’t last through another triangle.”

“I saw Josh with another girl and I realized that I couldn’t keep waiting,” she said, as she sighed and looked up at the ceiling.

“So you asked me out because of that,” Zay said looking sad. “I guess it’s too much to ask that someone liked me.”

“No Zay, you’re a good guy, I guess I just went about all of this the wrong way,” she said trying to fix the situation.

“No it’s okay, at least I know the truth,” he said.

The door opened causing the tied up trio to look over and see Riley standing on the other side. “I’m sorry Zay,” she said looking at all of them. “I wanted to make this right before she asked you out but everything happened so fast I couldn’t figure out where to start.”

“It’s okay sugar,” he said smiling at her. “But you and Lucas both owe me one, the same goes for the two of you.”

“So what happens now?” Josh said looking at all of them.

“You tell her the truth for once,” Riley said as Lucas walked into the room and untied Zay, and they walked out into the hallway.

“Wait,” Maya said but the door was closed before she could say anything else.

“The truth huh,” Josh said looking over at Maya. “I guess that’s a good place to start.”

“What is the truth Josh?”

“Well,” he started. “The girl you saw me with was my lab partner, we were studying for our midterm.”

“Oh,” she said looking down feeling like she blew something completely out of proportion.

“I’m guessing right after you saw us you went to Riley, and made up this crazy plan to get over me. Which I find weird because we talk almost every day, Maya you know me better than my own niece and she figured out what was wrong with me.”

“Josh I don’t know you that well,” she said finally looking up at him. “If I did I would know why the age difference is such an issue with you.”

“It’s not the age difference that bothers me,” he sighed. “It should but it doesn’t because I’ve met couples at school who are five years apart. One of my friends from school is still dating his high school sweetheart and he met her when she was a freshman. They take everything slowly because they want to earn that trust, not only with themselves, but with their parents.”

“How old is she now? The girl I mean?”

“Well she’s twenty,” he said laughing. “Her boyfriend is seventeen, but he’s graduating early just so they could go to school together again.��

“Josh that’s the same as us,” Maya said trying not to smile. “But I still don’t understand why you kept pushing me away.”

“I didn’t… I didn’t want to hurt you,” he said to her and she saw the sadness in his eyes. “Maya ever since that trip, were we confessed to one another, we talked almost every night. We talked about everything, but I was afraid that if we got together you would lose yourself.”

“That’s not likely,” she said smiling at him. “It only happened once, and that’s because I was honestly afraid of losing Riley to Lucas, but now…. Well now I know that the best thing I could do is letting her figure it out for herself while I did the same for myself. We’re better friends now for it.”

“I think the reason why she did this was because she saw me at the movies, yesterday and she saw how heartbroken I was, she knows us both so well and we both go to extremes to do something even if it hurts us.”

“So, you like me like me, and you want to date?”

“Maybe,” he said smiling at her. “One step at a time… we could hold hands and kiss but that’s the extent of it.”

“I could deal with that.”

“I would also need permission from your mom and Shawn to date you, because I don’t want them killing me.”

“That could happen, maybe we can have dinner with them, and they can set some ground rules like how the Matthews did with Riley and Lucas.”

The door slammed open and the trio looked at them smiling.

“Finally,” Zay said laughing. “I mean I know you guys wanted to wait but this was a little extreme.”

“No hard feelings?” Maya asked looking over at him.

“No, I’m just happy you’re going to be happy.”

“Okay,” she said smiling.

“Can you untie us?” Josh asked looking over at Lucas. “I would like to feel my fingers you know.”

“Okay, but you’re not allowed to come after us,” Lucas said looking at the pair of them. “It was Riley’s idea and only because she was worried about the two of you.”

“Whatever,” Maya said but Lucas just looked at her. “Fine I promise I won’t go after you.”

They were untied but Riley ran away the moment Maya was free only because she had stomped her foot forward.

“What,” she said looking at the rest of the group. “I didn’t do anything.”

Lucas went after Riley, Zay left after them leaving Maya and Josh alone. “Don’t kill Riley,” Josh said before he grabbed her hand and led her out of the room, Maya laughing behind him.

A/N: I actually know 2 couples, who have a 3 year age difference, one met in high school. It’s not odd in NYC for the 3 year age difference. It’s so normal, and it’s within the laws of the state. And yes one of those couples the woman is older than her boyfriend. As long as they set boundaries in their relationship it will last a long time, hence how I made the decision for them to talk to Maya’s parents. But honestly the birthdays don’t match in this show anyway, they should be juniors not sophomores, and Josh is only supposed to be two years older not three. Look up his birthday.

Top 10 Phineas and Ferb Songs- Season 2

Season 1

This was tough. I limited myself to one song per episode because I would probably include literally every song from Rollercoaster: The Musical if I could.

10. Song: Our Movie’s Better than Yours

Episode: Nerds of a Feather

Fandom wars. We all know the famous ones. Star Trek vs Star Wars, Any Sci-Fi vs Fantasy, Pokemon vs Digimon, and DC vs Marvel. I think I’d be on the Stumbleberry Finkbat side for this one. Anyone else?

You know it’s a big deal when Wade’s out of his bedroom in a wizard costume. Shit’s gonna happen folks.

I love how this is such an epic march, with the trumpet sounds of war and the drums, and then they start “pew pew pewing” with flashlights and throwing D&D dice at each other. And Ducky Momo is the ultimate obstacle they must face in the line of duty. Don’t let his adorable quacks fool you!

9. Song: Me, Myself, and I

Episode: Split Personality

It’s easy to think Candace only has two modes: the crazy, frustrated “gotta bust my brothers” Candace and the lovey-dovey has her “entire life planned out and around Jeremy” Candace. The sum of these parts equals Candace Gertrude Flynn.

Busting Candace is never happy. Her only self fulfillment is busting her brothers. We’ve seen this manifest in other episodes, where Candace often ditches her peers because she’s distracted by her brothers. When Phineas and Ferb take a lazy day, all her plans revolve around catching her brothers in the act only to remember that she can’t catch them if they won’t do anything. When the full realization hits, she asks, “Who is Candace?”

Romantic Candace can’t imagine life without her boyfriend. This is where the creepy obsession with Jeremy comes into play. This Candace is just another Judy Jetson, no character whatsoever except for a fixation on hot guys. Her one track mind cannot focus on anything that is not Jeremy-related, and her family and Stacy are forgotten.

8. Song: Atlantis

Episode: Same as song

If Atlantica needed a national anthem, this would be it. Personally I think this song is underrated, which is a shame because I really enjoy the melody.

It’s a bouncy, lighthearted tune that perfectly fits the discovery of an underwater city lost for millennia. Oh, and it happens to be off the coast of the city Phineas and Ferb live in. I don’t get it. First, shouldn’t Atlantis be in the Mediterranean somewhere? Did merpeople tow the entire palace to America or something? Second, how are Phineas and the gang the first ones to discover it? I would think a submarine or underwater camera would find it already.

7. Song: Watchin’ and Waitin’

Episode: Don’t Even Blink

You know how you’ve just finished a really long test and waiting for everyone else to finish? And you can’t read or doodle, just sit there those very long, boring, agonizing minutes? And you just stare at the clock which just ticks at snail’s speed? I swear I hear this song’s “tick tick tock tock” sound in my head if I have to wait for long periods of time.

I love how they just go “We’re bored. Let’s pull all these instruments from nowhere and have a musical number.”

6. Song: Happy Evil Love Song

Episode: Chez Platypus

We all love it when Heinz is happy. We want him to succeed. We know he’s not a waste of space. And look? He’s in love! They even have matching tattoos! He blew up the moon into a heart for her! So cute!

They have harmonizing evil laughs and voices! And best of all, being evil is always more fun when you do it with someone you love! As Heinz says, “I’ve never been so happy, in my entire life!” And then we all know what happens next. She gets hit with an inator and rejects him.

They kiss and become official boyfriend and girlfriend and do all sorts of crazy evil schemes together. She’s surprisingly okay with him completely failing to not take over the Tri-State Area as long as she gets to be evil with him. She’s even cool with Perry, Vanessa, and Norm! Towards the end of the summer, Heinz talks to her about becoming a good guy and she’s willing to turn over a new leaf as well. He also proposes to her and they get married and live happily ever after.

5. Song: Rollercoaster

Episode: Rollercoaster: The Musical!

I’m terrified of rollercoasters. Unlike Melissa, I’ve never actually had one drop from the sky onto my science project though. If the events of the musical are exactly like the first day of summer, then wouldn’t a rollercoaster have dropped from the sky again and landed in the same position as before?

I can’t help but love how everyone is screaming while Phineas and Ferb defy mind-numbing terror by jamming out on electric guitars while standing on the hood of the rollercoaster. They seem to have safety attachments specifically tailored for impromptu songs.

4. Song: Kick My Way Into Her Heart

Episode: Thaddeus and Thor

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a cartoon parody their own songs. Poor Heinz, trying his best at something he fails at in order to earn approval and love from his neglectful mother. To make matters worse, it’s ambiguous how much Roger knew of his parents’ treatment of Heinz. What did Roger do so that his mother loved him that Heinz never did? Maybe he never realized how much it affected Heinz into his adult years. I still hate that pompous jerk.

It’s interesting to note that Heinz only wants to find a way into his mother’s heart. What about his father? He never showed up at the kickball game. Heinz probably realized his father was a lost cause and had to live with the idea that he would never love him.

Oh, and there’s Love Handel again too. How much did Heinz pay for this gig anyway?

Poor kid. I just wanna hug him so bad. He’s so adorable in bow ties.

3. Song: Gimme a Grade

Episode: The Baljeatles

Word must spread through Danville like wildfire if Heinz has apparently heard of the Baljeatles even before they finish their debut song. Come on Baljeet! Sing your heart out to those establishment freaks! It’s nice to someone who’s unafraid to not comply with conformity.

Even if Baljeet doesn’t like a free-floating curriculum, he can’t deny that he learned something! The heartbeat from the Bum-bum-inator is the perfect beat for the song! Ferb really rocks that Union Jack look too.

2. Thank You Santa

Episode: Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!

This episode is going to be a classic one day. Personally my favorite animated Christmas movie is The Polar Express, so it’s always rewarding for me to hear a similar fanfare to Believe when Danville turns all the lights back on.

Monogram was right about Heinz giving Perry that vase. I feel bad for Perry. Nobody should ever witness snowman carnage on Christmas. Poor platypus must still have nightmares.

I can’t be the only one who finds Irving’s reaction to getting Phineas and Ferb’s outfits creepy though.

Let’s be honest. We’ve all tried flipping upside down to see if the clubhouse looks like anything inappropriate. It doesn’t.

1. Song: Not so Bad a Dad

Episode: Finding Mary McGuffin

One of my favorite aspects of this show is how it develops Heinz and Vanessa’s relationship. When we meet Vanessa, she’s dismissive and only acts as the B-plot’s Candace, except more edgy. In Seasons 2 and 3, she comes around and starts to appreciate what Heinz tries to do for her. By Season 4, she’s mature enough to give her dad a much-needed pep talk about giving up evil and has decided where she wants to go in her life.

Heinz is a great dad, despite his upbringing. All the examples in this song are of him doing something that embarrasses Vanessa, rather than being neglectful or abusive. I suppose stepping on the other team’s feet is a little evil though. But he means well, which Vanessa realizes in retrospect.

It’s understandable for even the most loving dads to screw up. Here Heinz has no reliable parenting examples to turn to, but he does his best even if he only has custody every other weekend.
