#i think that the zombie episodes were the PEAK

WIP WEDNESDAY EXCEPT ITS THE GRIMM FIC IVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A MONTH

Me, a fanfic writer, seeing how many people like my Grimm content: oh this is wonderful. Surely there is no way this could seep into my other hobbies.

[reginaldqueribundus]

Star Trek is peak entertainment. every episode starts with the captain writing in his diary. flying around looking at quasars and shit. saying shit like “this entire society believes in impaling themselves on big sharp sticks, is it wrong for us to stop them?” everyone only likes classical music. horny as hell. getting trapped in the old west or sent to renaissance times every other week. fly past a weird nebula and suddenly everyone is trying to kill each other or singing show tunes or thinks they're King Arthur. your best friend gets turned inside out or morphed into a spider baby but she's fine after 1 doctor visit. nobody gets paid they're doing this for fun. everybody from Earth is American. always referencing stuff from 300 years ago. every alien is an incomprehensible blob of concrete or a regular guy with funny eyebrows. everyone's obviously gay but pretending to be straight. can only teleport out of danger when it's the most dramatic. every part of the spaceship can be reconfigured to shoot out reverse anti-tachyons or whatever they need. there's always a guy named something like Neeknork. they're technically in the military but they mostly look at neat rocks. spend the rest of their time going "please don't fight us we're just trying to look at these cool rocks". political entities are perfect socialist utopia, the Roman Empire if it was run by KGB Draculas, orcs, capitalism, Ayn Rand lizards, clone soldier theocracy and what if zombies were also robots somehow. half the show is just staff meetings. it's incredible and I love it

Why is Thriller Bark my favorite arc?

I feel like I never explained why Thriller Bark is my favorite arc. I keep like spouting it but never explain it lol

So here is why!

One, the comedy.

Thriller Bark is so fucking hilarious. There are so many moments that are forever etched in my brain that make me laugh when I think about it. For example, Luffy shoving the fucking zombie back into the ground, Luffy beating the shit out of Cerberus to tame it, the fucking zombies that have Zoro and Sanji's shadows 😭

This arc is so unserious yet so serious at the same time.

Two, Brook's Introduction!! Brook is my friend's favorite character and we watched Thriller Bark together for the first time. It helped etch that memory and sense of nostalgia deeper into my soul.

Three, the amount of lore and small foreshadowing we get in this arc. We get mention of Big Mama, Egghead, the other warlords, and a peak into the new world.

Four, the character moments.

There are a lot of character moments in this arc that are truly amazing. We get to see Usopp shine when he fights against Perona. Sanji protecting Nami. Franky fighting with the crew for the first time. Robin being able to finally show her true colors with the crew. Chopper facing against his idol and telling him that he is the monster. Luffy beating yet another warlord! And, of course, Zoro.

Nothing Happened was such an iconic moment, one that is considered to be one of his best if not his best. It shows how much Zoro truly cares for his crew and the lengths he's willing to go to protect them.

Five, Brook's backstory. Brook is such a fascinating character and one that I want to dissect and show even more horrors. Not just his backstory with his crew though. No, we cannot forget Laboon. Laboon, a character we were introduced to back before there were 100 episodes out has been brought full circle to this point.

Brook and Laboon made me cry.

Six, Bink's Sake.

That fucking song. That song always gets me. Regardless of when it's being played on the violin or when the crew is screaming it at the top of their lunchs, it always makes me cry.

I love that song.

Seven, This was my introduction to One Piece. Yes, I started One Piece at Thriller Bark. I KNOW I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT. I saw it on Toonami after I finished my Inuyasha episode. I watched Thriller Bark and I immediately fell in love with it.

So that's why Thriller Bark is my favorite. There's a lot more to it than that but it's amazing. I love this arc so much.

Glee cast sings Born This Way by Lady Gaga

Marry the Night sung by Elliot ‘Starchild’ Gilbert in “A Katy or a Gaga”

-I���ll say it right away, I think this cover is better than the original, I’m not ashamed to say it, maybe just a bit, Elliot’s version of the song is just so good you can’t love, would be better if he was in drag but that was too woke for Ryan Murphy

Born This Way sung by Kurt, Mercedes and Tina in “Born This Way”

-this is one isn’t better than the original but it’s also very good, I couldn’t imagine someone other than Kurt to say the little monologue at the start, Mercedes and Tina also kill in this song, however I’m still pissed they cut the “no matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgender life” from the episode when Kurt just came back and Santana is dealing with her sexuality, it just fits so much, I also don’t like the shirts, I’d do something like Wanna be Startin’ Something and have all of them dance while wearing a Gaga outfit

Government Hooker sung by Puck and Rachel in “The First Time”

-I imagine this as Rachel trying to prove to Artie that she can be sexy while being a virgin, she would ask Puck to help, and while he does great with his bad boy charm she would once again rock the “sad clown hooker” look, I’m not sure if Puck could do a Dutch accent but it’s worth to try

Judas sung by Joe Hart in season 4

-two words, Kitty Wilde, Joe had no storylines this season, and if I’m being honest I think they were trying to push a romance between these two before deciding to create that random romance between Kitty and Artie, either way it could be interesting seeing Joe singing this, as if “Judas” was tempting him into sinning, and I mean, what is Kitty if not a little satanic version of Quinn Fabray?

Americano sung by Cassandra July in “The New Rachel”

-I don’t like this mash-up🫣, I would either stick with Americano or Dance Again, since this is a Gaga post that’s what I’m sticking with, it’s not all that spectacular but it gets the job done, Santana could do the song justice but I rather not have the only Latina sing this

Hair sung by Unique Adams

-this whole song is a big transgender allegory, how it makes a connection between hair and identity, especially given Unique’s family, her parents send her to a conversion camp, which didn’t work because Unique is stronger than that. The line “I scream “Mom and Dad, why can’t I be who I wanna be?”” hits very hard

Scheiße sung by Brittany, Quinn and Santana

-honestly I just want Quinn and Santana singing a feminist anthem, their voices would work a lot, and it kind of matches their season 4 selves, just throw Brittany singing the “German” parts and there, you have an amazing trio

Bloody Mary sung by Tina Cohen-Chang in “The Sue Sylvester Shuffle”

-this would be PEAK goth Tina, she and the girls would be in their zombie make up on stage teaching the glee guys and the football players how to be scary and zombie-y, Mr Schue and the gluys would hype them up while the football guys would be confused and a little scared, Tina was really robbed of solos on the show and I think she deserved this one since her only actual solo in season 2 was cut less than halfway through

Black Jesus † Amen Fashion sung by Mercedes and Quinn

-this was hard to choose, but after analyzing the lyrics as well as the background of the song I think these two would fit quite well, Black Jesus represent a different view on both religion and life in general, which for me fits Quinn’s character, while Amen Fashion represent how easy it is to change just like your fashion, which after thinking really represents Mercedes personality change from season 3 to 4, she obviously became more mature and a better friend for me, they’re also Christian which was another reason to assign them this song

Bad Kids sung by Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman in season 3

-this song is very Puck coded, especially his “Lima loser era”, the song starts with a heavy guitar solo but the guitar is barely used after that, if Puck would sing it, I would make the song way more rock n’ roll to fit his vibe during the end of the season, also the song is about embracing yourself for however you are, and I guess Puck would embrace his bad kid side

Fashion of His Love sung by Mercedes Jones in season 5

-this song was made for Mercedes Jones in her adult phase, being a tribute to Alexander McQueen and Whitney Houston, it fuses elements from McQueen’s fashion, Whitney’s inspired beats and several references to religion and god, this had so much potential on being a church choir song

Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) sung by Brittany and Kurt in “I am Unicorn”

-I was actually dumbfounded when this song wasn’t featured at all in the episode, like, the episode is named after unicorns what do you mean, this could be one instance where a character just starts singing, which would be Brittany and another one joins in after being confused with the sudden singing, which would be Kurt

Heavy Metal Lover sung by Kitty Wilde in season 4

-this would be the song Kitty would choose to confess her love for Ryder, which would be actually very funny since this song is so kinky and bdsm-y and Ryder is objectively the most vanilla guy ever, I can totally picture him being all 😃 during the whole song, sadly for Kitty, Ryder doesn’t reciprocate her feelings

Electric Chapel sung by Elliot and Santana

-I actually don’t have idea for an episode or season where this song would fit, the only reason I chose this two is because I think their voices would fit the song, also because this is my favorite song from Gaga ever, and I think they would do it’s justice

The Queen sung by Blaine and Marley in “Diva”

-this song represents gay men and how they can be queens despite not being woman, i think this storyline also fits the one Blaine was pushing on how guys can be divas. Analogously, Marley would be singing to prove that despite her shy demeanor and quiet personality, she can still be a queen for the night

Yoü and I sung by Shelby and Will in “Mash Off”

-I’m not a hater or this mash-up but I am a fan of this song, so no mash-up, Will does sound really good but he sings more of the other You and I so I’d distribute the lines a little more equally between the two, Shelby does a decent job, the song originally talks about a past relationship of Gaga, but I guess lyrics wise it can also be a song of Will wishing the New Directions could be together again, it was never shown but I know he was sad over the girls leaving, they were kind of his daughters, Shelby is just giving support, hate this woman

The Edge of Glory sung by Mercedes, Quinn, Santana and Tina with the Trouble Tones in “Nationals”

-this song was done great, I have no complaints, Santana sing in the start is the best part for me, Quinntina slay their verse and Mercedes does excellent as usual

And that’s it, this was really fun to write, I absolutely love this album, it’s by far my favorite, the next one is ARTPOP, and I’ll admit I didn’t like this album at first, but upon re-listening to it opened my eyes to its perfection, see you next week or so :)

[usgsnajs]

God I can’t wait until tomorrow’s episode of secret life… it’s obviously gonna be the finale, and unlike previous seasons I watched live, I have wishes for every server member except for the previous winners to win lol

I want Cleo to win because she deserves this story arc, surviving the zombie apocalypse and turning human as a result, being the last green name, and also getting back with her ex husband lolol (just so you know, I have essays of thoughts about Cleo and Ethos character arcs this season that I cannot put it into words. Just trust me that this and Ethos sections should be a lot longer)

I want Etho to win because oh my god??? What has he been on this season??? First off, he has somehow reached higher set cat status than he did in Limited life, which I thought was impossible, but he just struggles so. hard. in the earlier sessions especially. Secondly, he plays the secret aspect of the game really well, where he almost always comes up with a fake task for him to do in addition to his actual task, and sticks with it completely. He’s just really good at the secret part of it while also hiding what he’s doing really badly, which is the best thing to watch ever. But thirdly and most importantly, the fucking…zombie apocalypse session…He failed his task, and made the ENTIRE SERVER also fail their task just because he didn’t want to give up Cleo and Grian… He jumped in front of Bdub’s arrow to protect Cleo… ‘I’m a survivor’ this ‘I’d probably run’ that, you are a liar Mr Etho Slab!! Face it, you’ve had character development since Last Life!!! Stop thinking the worst of yourself!! Also, in addition to all that, he also fits the fact that all the previous winners played the game differently than how it was intended, with the previously mentioned failing of the task, so he also deserves to win because of that.

I want Scar to win because this entire season has been him fighting against what the secret keeper pushes onto him, with him not wanting to be the villain but repeatedly getting villain related tasks, so him winning in spite of that would be so satisfying. Also the idea of Scar, who has spent previous seasons constantly fighting to make friendships, winning the season where everyone on the server hates him does something to me the vibes are just immaculate. Also also! Please let him win he’s come so close so many times 😭

I want Gem to win because Geminislay next question. lol but actually I think it would be really funny if she joined the server for the first time, killed all her friends, won, and then left. Also something something her bringing the boogeyman curse to a season that was never supposed to be cursed in that way, and then fighting her way to victory is really cool. Also also Gem is just cool so I want to see that victory

I want Impulse to win because he’s gotten so close in like almost every season before this!!! He got second last time please just let him win and go apeshit, he deserves it I think. Also last yellow??? He deserves to pop off in the final session and take the win

I want Bdubs to win because this season has been peak Bdubs allying with half the people on the server, and he deserves to win at his worst /j But seriously his perspective so far has been one of my favorites this season because of how funny he is. He spent over an episode building the world when he didn’t even need to. He was murdered by Scar when both of them were green. He has a room in the Roomies base when he’s not even part of their group. He’s so silly he deserves to murder Scar in revenge for his first death and then gloat as he wins.

I want Joel to win because he deserves to go apeshit and then not die from recklessness. I think he should be insane and murder a bunch of people while still staying alive, like Last Life but without the ending part. His base is filled with joy but he is not, and that’s hilarious to me. Please let Joel win one of these he’s come so close

I want BigB to win because out of everyone in secret life he was the one to truly take the ‘secret’ part of the title to its very max. BigB gaslighting everyone he comes into contact with for literally no reason is my favorite part of secret life lol. He should win just for that as well as having the funniest life series base ever. Also his storylines tend to get ignored by a bunch of the fandom, and while it’s definitely improved a lot this season, it still could be better, so I’m hoping he wins just so more people will watch his perspective 😭

I want Skizz to win because like BigB, he is seriously underrated. He still doesn’t have 100k!! Subscribe to him right now!! But other than that, he also deserves to win just because it’d be funny if, now that he’s lived past the third death, he promptly switched his curse as far around as possible and just won lolol. Also also the Heart Foundation has been one of the silliest groups ever, and their base was really cute while it lasted, so any of the members of that group deserve to make it far if just for that. Plus him immediately going after Tango once he got infected with boogeyman was very funny. You go king! Drag your friends down with you! In conclusion Skizz is very funny and deserves to win purely because of that as well as the underdogness of it all.

I want Tango to win because of the Heart foundation stuff I mentioned with Skizz, but also he deserves to win just so he can break his curse of always having a kinda stupid final death 😔 I think it would be really funny if he broke that curse in the coolest way possible, and then in every season after this one he immediately goes right back to silly final deaths.

(Also if a previous winner won this season again I would not be upset as all of them have storylines this season that are really good for it, I just want them to win a little less than the others)

This season has been incredible so far, and it might even end up being my favorite season yet!

[i-will-go-with-you-five]

Have you done any of the venture stories? If not if/when do you plan on doing them? I NEED your reactions. Thanks!

OOOOH YES

I've done only two so far, A Study in Ichor and Rule Britannia. (And I did Season of the Hunter, which is techncially not from Venture but I count it because it's a side story)

I ran A Study in Ichor because of the fanart and GIRLLLLLLLLL I was NOT disappointed. Victorian Sam was EVERYTHING and imagining my Five as Victorian was EVEN MORE SO. From a storytelling perspective, I think it was a tad rushed and it would've benefitted from being longer, but man was it good and I love it.

Rule Britannia was good too. Not as great, the plot was a tad weak, but run to run. Imagning Roman Sam was also awesome, and I loved his ethical strength in this one. Peak greatness.

Buuuuuuuut, from running these two I kinda got minor spoilers for later ZR seasons? I ran Ichor when I was still in S1, so I met a lot of those characters earlier than in the main storyline, and learned about Van Ark and the tone-controlled zombies before I was supposed to. And in Britannia, I met this character Peter who I don't know yet, and now I know that whenever I do meet him, he'll become a traitor and sell us out to someone and maybe sacrifice himself once he's realized his flaws and die? Not major spoilers by any means, not like a hill to die on or anything, and I still greatly enjoyed it even though my brain sussed out future plot points I hadn't gotten too yet, but I think I'm going to wait to do more Venture stuff until I've run more of the main storyline. The Venture stuff that involves our Abel crew as an AU anyway. That way I won't come to realizations about characters who are going to die/betray us/etc before I actually get there.

SEASON OF THE HUNTER THOUGH--- I N C R E D I B L E. Making it a lot longer REALLY made it so so much better. I hope that when/if they do make more Venture stuff they make way more episodes for it, because having that extra time really improved the story. Having us be the 'seed' that got to travel in between different POVs with the Tree in our heads was very interesting and I loved it. Robert was my favorite. I was really disapointed with the ending though.... I really kinda did go 'That's it?'. Their explination was pretty unsatisfying and kinda let down all of the tension that they had built up. I know the point was to be vague and mystical and stuff, but I do think they fumbled the excecution a tad. But what am I doing this is a ZR blog not my literary analysis blog

So yeah, love Venture, wish they were longer but so far they've been good, can't wait to do more, but putting a pin on it for the moment until I've run more seasons. Honestly if anyone has a list or something of how far you have to run the main storyline before running certain ZR storylines to avoid minor spoilers, that would be awesome.

[turdle]

Okay! Finished the second season of Good Omens. Honestly there were so many things that’s just tickled me this season that I wanted to highlight:

-Crowley saying ‘staying behind to die bravely? Good on you.’ to Maggie and Nina made me WHEEZE. Such a great line and delivery

-The Bentley following Aziraphale like an eager puppy was just so adorable, I wasn’t expecting him to be the favourite parent there lmao

-the end of Job storyline with Crowley pretending his two passions are child birth and shoe making?? I died laughing

-Crowley just serving absolute LOOKS this season. The black turtleneck? The hair?? THE 40s LOOK?

-Honestly the whole nazi zombies 40s storyline was my favourite bit I think, it was just such a cute and funny episode overall

-Gabriel’s jazzy sparkly suit at the ball YES GIRL SLAY

-the whole spooky dark green fog outside the bookshop when the demons were invading was just my favourite aesthetic it was so cool and Halloweeny.

-Peaking of aesthetic DAMN they amped it up this season! So many cool effects, like Crowley’s eyes this season were so subtle and ordinary in some scenes and so spooky and glowy in others?

[albiclalepsza]

I still think that the beginning of the Whisperers arc is one of the peaks of the series.

Because up until that point the zombies were predictable. You know how the zombies work. I know how the zombies work. The characters didn't for some time, but they figured it out too. They were scared from time to time of the zombies but we as an audience knew more or less what to expect of them.

But here we are, episode 8 and 9 of season 9. And the game changes completely. The walkers whisper. The herds can't be easily distracted. The characters are on unknown waters again, and this time we're right there with them.

And yeah, the moment they started speaking was amazing, but the quieter part in the next episode where Daryl realizes that he has no clue what's going on is what really sinks it in. Like, this man was ready for it all back in the very beginning. He was able to get out of every situation with walkers back in season 2, even with a hole in his side and after tumbling down the ravine. And he suddenly doesn't know how to do it all. He's as lost as the rest of them.

Then there is of course Jesus' death, which was just brutal and easily one of the best in the series with how out of the blue everything about it was. Another part that demonstrated that the rules are gone and we have to adapt to the new game.

And sure, we get some sort of answer in the very same episode to what's going on, but still. That brief stretch in a total unknown was soooo good

[kamil-a]

s2 offhand standsouts vs flops imo

THE FLOPS

-spider milk. sorry. it literally wouldve been fine so you had to tack on an extra scary thing.

-the zombie one SORRYYYY i was getting so freaked at where i THOUGHT it was headed (you can see that the people are alive but computer believes theyre dead so you are obligated to dispose of them) that the zombie reveal felt like oh :( twas just zombies :(

-i am happy for amanda surviving and parts of those eps were good i just think The Anomaly as a monster was kind of a flop even in season 1..... ohhh people are speaking an unknown language . not scary. I hear people speaking in languages i cant understand every day because its a normal part of life.

THE STANDOUTS

-Speaker's episode/food that if you stop eating it you die

-SUBCULTURE GEMINI........... both extremely creepy on its own AND realizing its a dark twisted retelling of a dumb blonde joke . peak comedy-horror and a delicious taste of the robot dramaaaaaaaa im told will be incoming in later seasons

-the rose elf. I like it :)

-buried alive episode. i want to believe they found him

-all argos episodes/dr young/caulfield/cassandra like that whole web of ministory i really like

-redundant bc i saod the argos eps but resident faust was also peak comedyhorror. GO GIRL GIVE US NOTHING !!!!!!!!

2023 Summer Anime Review

Jujutsu Kaisen S2 - Currently Airing This season is turning out to be some of the best animations I've seen from studio bones so far. I personally find that the story is coming together more and the show has definitely upped it's game. Part 2 -Good lord. We have been blessed and fed good food this season. Nanami simps won, gojo simps won. It's a good day. Maybe not for every single person in the show. but hey. For a real review: I won't lie, season 1 was good. Not great but good. The characters were cool, action was fun, and the story was alright. They honestly knocked it out of the park for season 2. They killed the character development with the prequel episodes and focusing on characters the vast majority of audiences enjoy. They upped their animations and the story has been solid. 9.5/10 - Exceptional

Mushoku Tensei S2 (Jobless Reincarnation) - 12 Episodes One of the goats of isekai anime is back. I won't lie, the first few episodes had me lost and pretty bored, but I get it, it's important to kill the vibe before moving forward. Easily the best wizard school arc I've seen. Definitely has a weird focus on EDs but it is what it is, I guess it's the closest you'll get to him understanding his feelings lol. At the same time, definitely made the romance hit harder when it comes full circle. Weirdly enough, this season hit exactly what I wanted and the animations was more unique than I was expecting. 8.5/10 - Very Good+

Zom100: Bucket List of the Dead - 12 Episodes This is one of the genuinely good zombie animes I've seen in a while. The concept is fun and the animations are fun. Definitely an uplifting series for an otherwise slow season. Unfortunately due to the production studio being unreliable, the last 3 episodes are on indefinite hiatus. Otherwise, what we've seen up till has been a blast. 8/10 - Very Good More under the cut:

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale P2 - 12 Episodes So much angst in this season. The story definitely didn't feel as enticing as the first half but I'm thoroughly satisfied with the ending. I think, if they decide to do a second season I likely won't watch it. It feels like this season reached it's peak and came back down to a decent conclusion and I'm happy with ending it here. 7/10 - Good

Helck - Ongoing - 12/24 Episodes This show wasn't for me. The initial concept was funny but then it kept taking turns and I lost interest. There's some decent humour throughout the show but wasn't enough for me to stick around for the "plot". Will be dropping it here. 5/10 - Average

Lvl 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero - 12 Episodes Some decent entertainment for the background. Another take on what happens to the hero after the demon lord is defeated, definitely one of the more fun ones. A good one off season. 6.5/10 - Fine+

[tsuki-sennin]

Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre, Senor, senors car avec les soldats Oui, les Toreros, peuvent s'entendre; Pour plaisirs, pour plaisirs, Ils ont les combats! Le cirque est plein, c'est jour de fete! Le cirque est plein du haut en bas; Les spectateurs, perdant la tete, Les spectateurs s'interpellent a grand fracas! Apostrophes, cris et tapage Pousses jusques a la fureur! Car c'est la fete du courage! C'est la fete des gens de co Allons! en garde! Allons! Allons! ah!

Today, a bull rages through the China shop that is our collective hearts and minds. Kamen Rider Buffa stands alone against the wicked witch Beroba. Two cows enter, one cow leaves. Best moooooooove it to your seats if you wanna catch the action this week. Haha~! Ohhhhhh, I'm sorry.

Spoilers, I guess...

-Geats is bleached like he's the Man of the Beginning. Throw him in the wash with a red sock and he'll turn pink!

-Good morning, Tsumuri-neechan!

-The God of Creation.

-Chained to the game, like his mother before him.

-Yeah you're gettin' it now, Keiwa.

-The squad're all posing together <3333

-Well! We did it!

-...huh, the Gang Riders were still a thing? I think I legitimately forgot about them being in last episode.

-"BOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS GAME SUCKS!"

-Did Jitto just call them "vips"?

-"Whatever, I've got a better idea."

-This must be our Azu for the season.

-Kuromuri, I'll call her for now.

-Or as the transliteration may call her, "Kromer".

-Goddess of Destruction.

-"This will be the greatest fucking moment of reality TV of all time. The Desire Grand Prix's Bad End Game!"

-"Rise, my son. We must battle."

-Oh hey there, Daichi.

-Yeah, you did that.

-"Man Daichi-kun, this was peak character writing right here~! I really liked how you made Keiwa-kun shit himself in anger by saying her memories amounted to nothing, that was sick."

-"Get lost! This is my tree!"

-Y'know I just realized that the people who watch the DGP don't really want anything substantial out of it. Niram-P wanted to make cool superhero stories out of real people, Archimedel wanted to make his children grow up big and strong, Daichi wanted to use, even the DGP executives have actual goals in mind (those obviously being profit and subjugation).

-Beroba, Kekera, everybody who ever sunk all their free time into this farce, they're all just doing it because they're bored. Is the future really that sad and miserable that banging hot alien chicks and curbing robot uprisings doesn't excite these yuppies?

-OH

-Daichi's dead!

-Oh, never mind.

-Thanks?

-Ohhhh!

-That's our Buffa! Keeping up despite the vast power difference.

-Awkward silence.

-Berdly's got nothin' for you, Michinaga.

-"A world-ending tree. Like Exdeath, or the Saigyou Ayakashi!"

-"Get the tree back, and I'll save her."

-They bought the Battle Pass.

-"Tycoon's my problem. Right now, this guy's yours."

-All that weight must be crashing down upon our boy Michinaga.

-"Tycoon, my son. Please, help shoulder that burden."

-Whose faith in man endures despite their sins...

-"Hey, at least we're actually doing shit, y'know?"

-"Hi, Micchi~! My oshi~! Guess who's gonna write fanfics about you getting your organs surgically removed while you're still conscious~?

-"Laser Raise Riser~!"

-Ohhhhhh! There she is. Breaking Mammoth Rosé.

-...God, I can only imagine what sort of horrifying scenarios Beroba'd inflict on a Buffa figure.

-Berobaba.

-Oh, the gun scales with Beroba. That's something I haven't noticed before. Though uh, I guess I couldn't have, but-

-Let's goooooo! Fuck 'em up, Michinaga!

-Zombie Strike!

-OH

-OKAY

-Buffa's Jyamashin powers just kicked in.

-I'm afraid you've lost, Beroba-san.

-Beroba, one of what seems to be endless sadists who indulged the DGP for so long, lies dying on the ground.

-Ayaka-san, you are a fantastic actress.

-Kazuto-san too, this scene is legitimately fantastic considering it came just after an angry construction worker just went Super Saiyan against a giant pink robot.

-Deleted Beroba.

-"For now on, Buffa's a Rider of Hope."

-"Oh, an old fossil?"

-Kekera Set!

-Keiwa with the save!

-"My ribs are poking into my kidneys and I think my arm is completely shattered. I'm sorry, Tycoon..."

-"Keiwaaaaa... that's not what I told you to be, Tycoon!"

-PLEB

-"Alright, stop yelling. Here's the serum."

-Sara-neesan is alive!

-"Keiwa, my spleen. I still need that..."

-Godhood is a curse, it seems.

-Ohhhhhh, that's a Game Master form.

-That's no doubt Jitto's. I wonder what kinda name he's saddled with?

-Alright, tune in next time~!

[holymolyineedtherapy]

Why is Thriller Bark my favorite arc?

I feel like I never explained why Thriller Bark is my favorite arc. I keep like spouting it but never explain it lol

So here is why!

One, the comedy.

Thriller Bark is so fucking hilarious. There are so many moments that are forever etched in my brain that make me laugh when I think about it. For example, Luffy shoving the fucking zombie back into the ground, Luffy beating the shit out of Cerberus to tame it, the fucking zombies that have Zoro and Sanji's shadows 😭

This arc is so unserious yet so serious at the same time.

Two, Brook's Introduction!! Brook is my friend's favorite character and we watched Thriller Bark together for the first time. It helped etch that memory and sense of nostalgia deeper into my soul.

Three, the amount of lore and small foreshadowing we get in this arc. We get mention of Big Mama, Egghead, the other warlords, and a peak into the new world.

Four, the character moments.

There are a lot of character moments in this arc that are truly amazing. We get to see Usopp shine when he fights against Perona. Sanji protecting Nami. Franky fighting with the crew for the first time. Robin being able to finally show her true colors with the crew. Chopper facing against his idol and telling him that he is the monster. Luffy beating yet another warlord! And, of course, Zoro.

Nothing Happened was such an iconic moment, one that is considered to be one of his best if not his best. It shows how much Zoro truly cares for his crew and the lengths he's willing to go to protect them.

Five, Brook's backstory. Brook is such a fascinating character and one that I want to dissect and show even more horrors. Not just his backstory with his crew though. No, we cannot forget Laboon. Laboon, a character we were introduced to back before there were 100 episodes out has been brought full circle to this point.

Brook and Laboon made me cry.

Six, Bink's Sake.

That fucking song. That song always gets me. Regardless of when it's being played on the violin or when the crew is screaming it at the top of their lunchs, it always makes me cry.

I love that song.

Seven, This was my introduction to One Piece. Yes, I started One Piece at Thriller Bark. I KNOW I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT. I saw it on Toonami after I finished my Inuyasha episode. I watched Thriller Bark and I immediately fell in love with it.

So that's why Thriller Bark is my favorite. There's a lot more to it than that but it's amazing. I love this arc so much.

Watching “Scooby Doo, Where Are You?” (1969-1970 CBS) + Thoughts

Episode 24: Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf

Background/Scenery Art lovely as usual.

Dear colorists for the series, did you seriously believe werewolves have technicolor fur or were executives more interested in crooks in bright colors?

Camping episode! Also, color/design-coded tents so we know the boys sleep in the purple one with flowers and the girls use the light blue one with teal tie-dye designs (jk)

Daphne calls Shaggy and Scooby the Laurel and Hardy of their group. I wanna know who is the Laurel and who is the Hardy.

Scooby gets a pup tent of his own. Maybe. It’s a work in progress at least.

“There’s nothing I like better than food, unless it’s more food!”

Camera takes the time to focus on each character’s respective reaction of alarm upon hearing the titular werewolf’s howl.

Werewolf apparently has an invisibility cloak with holes for his eyes bc we see them not peaking out of darkness but right on top of a background of forest trees.

Ok who was in charge of the size ratio of the tents bc when we first saw them they seemed to be the height of an average man while Scooby’s was half his size but now suddenly it’s big enough to fit both him and Shaggy while the other tents are the size of huts???

It’s a good thing an artist made an effort to make Daphne place a hand on Fred’s shoulder again so I can recognize this as a Fraphne moment. (I say this both lovingly and teasingly.)

Look Shaggy you ditched Scoob earlier for food while his face was stuck in a tent; are you really going to be annoyed by him swiping your snacks?

Velma is able to tell that the footprints Scooby find that while they have the appearance of a large wolf, the repeated shapes indicate that it is a bipedal being as opposed to a quadrupedal one.

Animation Goof: Velma almost had the mother of double chins for a moment before the color of her turtleneck’s top reverted back to orange.

Graveyard! Fred think’s it’s sus that there is a fresh grave dug in such an old place. I know it is probably related to treasure hunting, but wouldn’t it be interesting if this episode’s masked menace was a murderer this time??

Fred , Velm, and Daph have no problem looking into a coffin while Shag and Scoob are more squeamish.

Silas Long doesn’t sound like a werewolf name to me, but who am I to judge?

Fred grabs Shaggy and Scoob by the shirt/tail before they run away. Shaggy carries a pair of scissors for situations like this so he can resume running. Fred just grabs them again.

“Oh-swell-it-ain’t-bad-enough-we’re-following-a-werewolf-now-it-looks-like-it’s-the-GHOST-of-a-werewolf!!” These are technically two separate sentences but the speed and delivery of these lines by the VA was so funny 😆

Also, I’d argue that it’s a zombie werewolf, since it’s leaving tracks.

SQUEE!! Frelma standing super close on one side of an old mill’s entrance, and Shaphne also standing super close on the other side with enough space dividing one ship from the other!! 🥰🥰🥰 also Scooby’s there.

Aaaand in the next scene, suddenly they’re mixed up again despite not moving (guess somebody wanted to fix the ‘mistake’ and move Daph right back to Fred’s side where Velma was and visa versa so now Velms is with Shaggy)

“We’ll split up. I’ll take the girls this wa—!” “Yeah, yeah*, I know. And Scooby and me will go the other way.” *admittedly I added a second yeah, but come on XD I couldn’t be the only one hearing Shaggy’s inner sass at Fred’s usual divisions of their group.

Scared-by-a-frightening-monster-only-to-discover-it’s-a-warped-shadow/reflection-of-a-tiny-and-harmless-creature gag

Guys. Please just turn around. He’s right there. Not even 6 feet behind you. Making loud steps. How can Scooby smell tracks but not a living, breathing stranger right next to them? I call shenanigans, writers!

…What is a stronger word for shenanigans that isn’t crossed with a curse word to describe the ridiculousness of the scenes that just followed? 😑

A tribal mask (little easter egg paying tribute to the prior episode?)

HAHAHAHA!!!! Ok I’m still annoyed by the previous scenes, but Shaggy pulling the mask and accidentally making the werewolf he and Scoob had no idea was so close to them fall through a trap door got me 🤣

Upon the trio coming across a map in a secret room, Daphne is about to correctly deduce that whoever they are looking for is a costumed criminal since ghost don’t need maps to find things when the Werewolf attacks.

Heh they all crash into each other upon reuniting.

Ah, here comes the chase scene music with singers we didn’t get last episode. Strange to admit I missed it.

Animation Goof: Shaggy’s running model is either going backwards or was flipped the wrong way.

Hey, I vaguely remember this song! At least the “Na na, na na na na” part.

There are many things ridiculous about this chase scene, but the main ones are: 1) the werewolf is only focused on chasing Shaggy and Scooby. Talk about biased; 2) Aerodynamic Trashcan Lids though honestly that is more fun than ridiculous 3) Scoob and Shag happening to fall into a convenient pile of wool.

“What do you suppose happened to Shag and Scoob after they fell on that old water wheel?” Bruh if you were watching the whole time and not doing anything as a potentially dangerous man was chasing your friend and dog—!

Not Fred-Velm-Daph and Shag-Scoob taking turns accidentally scaring and being scared by each other 😆

I kinda like Daphne’s model having her arms folded across her chest, even more so than when they are planted on her hips. The latter (and standard) pose makes her seem sassier than she actually is, while the former pose gives off her reserved nature a little more — at least in this series so far.

“I’d sure like to know how Mr. Creepy-Crawly fits in with all this.” “Yeah!” “Let’s go find him.” “Oh, why don’t I just keep quiet?” “Yeah.” Sorry boys, you’re the designated comic relief. You can’t help it.

Animation Goof: Is it me or does Fred seem significantly shorter than Shaggy in this frame??

“Come on, girls. Let’s go see where that railcar came from.” “Don’t tell me. Scoob and me go to see where it’s going, right?” C’mon Fred; try to be more creative. Shake the status quo up a bit!

*sees the shadow that is in the exact shape as the Werewolf Ghost that they’ve encountered* “Who’s that?” “And what’s he up to?”

Unless the window has been refurbished with new glass and frames, I don’t see why Fred doesn’t at least try to smash his elbow through it if it’s part of a supposedly old mill so he and the girls are no longer trapped.

Not me wondering why Shaggy and Scooby are racing the railcar during their investigation when actually they’re running away from the Werewolf ghost.

Pop Top Barge

Shaggy and Scooby begin swinging on a hook trying to escape Werewolf, and I’m trying to remember if that’s the same hook that snagged Daphne’s dress and disrupted Fred’s trap in an episode I vaguely remember watching as a child. Is this the same episode???

Either Shaggy used Ultra-Instinct to switch clothes lickety-split fast or this is an Animation Goof.

Shaggy tries to distract Werewolf by cutting his hair and Scooby filing his nails and shining his feet, when they COULD HAVE used the barber’s aprons to TIE HIM TO THE CHAIR. Also I bet the shaved look doesn’t last, though I would be pleasantly surprised if it does.

Shaved look staying so far.

“Sure would know what this thing is.” “I’d rather know how we’re gonna get out of here.” This is why I like Frelma 😁

“Dr. Livingstone and friends, I presume?”

Poor Shaggy being bullied by Frelma when they find his observations related to the railcars and pop top barge hard to believe.

“You know how Freddy and Velma are when they got a mystery to unsolve.” Even Shaggy sees Frelma. Yet most known adaptations/reboots are convinced Fraphne are meant to be. Maybe those creators ignored Shaphne content that followed later because Scrappy had joined his uncle’s adventures???

Animation Goof: it looked like the costumed creep found a replacement mask with a head of hair, but the following frames show him with the shaved head 😆

Sheep? SHEEP!

“I think I’m beginning to get the picture, right Freddy?” “Right.” So much Frelma content this episode that was probably unintentional but so welcome!

Let’s see how well this plan of Fred’s works.

Animation Goof: Daph and Velma’s models look more fuzzy/out of focus compared to Fred’s despite being right next to him.

This IS the episode where Daphne gets snagged by a hook!!!!! DARN YOU FRED THIS IS YOUR FAULT! 😂

“I’d trade almost anything for a good, fast motor right now.” “Except me?” “Right. Anything except you, pal.” Friendship Goals, anyone?

Random Purple Fish.

“I’ve got an idea!” Hon, your last one didn’t work out so well.

I’d call shenanigans over how Fred, Velma, and Daph were able to make/find a big enough net with a handle, find an area stable enough to stand on, find a strong and conveniently shaped support, and get there on time to save their friends, but Velma looks adorable hanging on the end of the handle so I’ll let it slide.

Frelma standing together again, then a bonus shot of Fred’s arm around Velma.

Werewolf ditches his commitment to the act and cries wolf for help before he plummets to his death.

Handsome Sheriff alert. Also, the “werewolf” is a sheep rustler.

Minor Shaphne standing together.

“Shucks, [the werewolf sheep rustler] didn’t scare Scoob and me for a minute.” Nope. Not at all.

Day 24 of no “And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids.”

Also, I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish watching all the episodes while balancing schedules and work since I’m not the breadwinner in my family and we might not keep HBO Max. Whatever may happen, thank you to those who are having fun reading my thoughts and enduring my shenanigans as I watch Scooby Doo!

Favourite Horror Tv Shows (Unranked)

The Haunting Of Hill House 

You want trauma in your ghosts? You want plottwists and time shenanigans? You want excruciatingly beautifully shot episodes? You want m o n o l o g u e s ! Family drama! Shirley Jackson with a twist?

I’m someone who generally loves Mike Flanagan’s work, because he’s not particularly pretentious about it. He clearly just loves horror as a metaphor for grief and trauma in particular, and also his wife Kate Siegel, and I think that’s sexy of him. 

This is definitely my favourite out of everything he’s made though, movies included. 

The Exorcist

Underrated! Wonderful! Queer! It’s unfortunate that this show was so misjudged that it didn’t reach the audience that it would have thrived under. I imagine a bunch of angry edgy fanboys wouldn’t be too happy with queer priests (amongst others) and feminist horror. 

Geena Davies in season 1. John Cho and Brianna Hildebrand in season 2. And the leads (Marcus and Tomas) are the version of partners-in-crime (sometimes literally crime) who pine for each other that for once isn’t grounded in no homo. 

The tenderness of affixing someone’s priest collar 🥺

(they get this close the first time they meet. this is their first meeting).

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

The Classic! Created so many tropes! And, despite J*ss Wh*d*n being a dick, full of women who are played by wonderful, talented actresses, and who get (for the most part) interesting, harrowing, fulfilling, varied narratives. 

I really didn’t see a genre show with this many female leads again until... I wanna throw out a year like 2015-2016. And even then, this one breaks the mold in terms of sheer accessibility and fun and inventiveness!

Sarah Michelle Gellar is an icon. This is her show!

Santa Clarita Diet

You know that post that’s like: My favourite “het” couples in film are actually bisexual. You know when a woman is unhinged and her husband is simply there to assist her in that goal? You love domestic serial killers? Zombies with-a-twist? Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant being married? 

Literally what’s not to love? Sometimes your spouse becomes a zombie and because you love her, you’re going to help find the right victims (usually nazis) and hide the bodies. I don’t even like the idea of marriage, but if this is what it’s about, I finally get it!

Twin Peaks

I feel like I’m due a rewatch of this. The tragedy of it wasn’t lost on me when I was younger, but I was definitely very caught up in the eerie dreaminess and idiosyncrasies of the characters. 

Also, I still haven’t seen Fire Walk With Me, which I feel would help to recenter the whole narrative where it rightfully belongs: With Laura Palmer.

It’s aesthetically so right though. It draws you in, it unsettles you, it embodies the idea of a place being alive. 

Not to mention we love Dale Cooper in this household! 

The Addams Family

Okay before there were any other married couples, there was Morticia and Gomez Addams. 

This show is so funny - so many of the gags you see in the later movies that are also still hilarious are directly from the original show. 

I’ve got no ability to say how this was appreciated in the 60s, but considering it only had two seasons I feel like Not Enough. 

Somethingsomething ahead of its time, very subversive, Gomez Addams is Sean Astin’s stepfather, which feels important to me.

The Twilight Zone 

Speaking of ahead-of-its-time right? 

This show is everything! It has everything! It’s fantastic writing! It’s gorgeous set-up-and-pay-off! It’s political! It’s spooky! It’s anthology! It’s classic! It’s wild to me that its first season was in 1959, but it was a time of change and this fits perfectly into that push against all kinds of sensibilities and norms, both within Hollywood and America beyond.

Rod Sterling was a masterclass writer and anyone interested in the strange and unusual, but also just in good stories put to screen ought to watch this. 

Seriously: The Classic!

Hannibal

The joke I was going to make was “haha look I chose a gif for this show that’s less about Cannibalism and more about how gay these two are,” but honestly a large proportion of the gifs are about how gay these two are, and isn’t the show really a gay dramedy when you get down to it? 

The inverse Pushing Daisies, the continuation of Bryan Fuller’s perfect career of making beloved - and then cancelled - shows (Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Hannibal... what next?) and my personal favourite of the bunch, because I love gothic gay idiots.

Chucky

I’ve seen the first 4 episodes. I love the film franchise (me, having watched the Child’s Play Verse films in the last two months, clutching them to my chest and hissing like a cat). 

It is more enjoyable if you watch the movies first, since it situates itself in an already-established verse and narrative, but it’s a fascinatingly built world that - because of its continued story through the last 30 years - feels very congruent to its own internal wacky laws. 

It also has queerness baked into its bones and I’m fascinated by how it’ll delve further into that legacy now that it’s become more possible to be direct about it. 

[outofmemory]

I am putting my answer under the cut aswell, I do not know what would happen with our post without it and endless scrolling here on Tumblr deactivated😆 *I have it deactivated🤣*

So many thoughts so many things to talk about 😍

I started out on fanfiction.net and fanfiktion.de (a German side, I think it was fanfiktion and not fanfiction 🤔so many years ago!). After finding AO3 ff.net could not really hold me to be honest. The filters were terrible, the the format of the side uncomfortable to read on... Maybe today it's better! Is it true that ff.net has now adds?

Maybe I will take a look at it for Unca and Alice 😊

Maybe you would be interested in this TV show (spoiler! no happy ending BUT so worth it! It is just soooo good!!!!!):

The English (2022, with Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer)

Here the imdb.com page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11771270/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt A gif set I found under the #the english which is quite good: https://www.tumblr.com/elssbethtascioni/757818358057123840/tv-appreciation-week-2024-day-6-favorite?source=share ... I just reblogged the link 🤣 All my feels came back after seeing that gif set!

So yes this paring naturally is a ship I sail to the end of the world! 😤😤😤😤

Kili/Tauriel was cute and I really like them together, maybe I am just a heavy non-canon shipper 🤔 I do have my canon ships too, naturally, but a lot of my ships were never canon. What I like about Fili/Sigrid, at least what is put out in ff work: differences in dwarf and human culture actually both were poor and both got rich again, but Sigrid never thought she would be rich and Fili knew that he is the heir to the throne and actually rich as soon as the dragon is gone family dynamics (her dad his uncle/kinda dad do not really like each other 🤣) all the possible misunderstandings 😍 and still coming out on top of it being happy together 😍😍 For me Kili/Tauriel were the secondary ship 🤣 But always a must! 😤

In regards to your statment of not judging ships, we are on the same page. It is important to understand that fiction is not reality. Naturally fiction can most likley will always be inspired by reality and that fiction can help to form opinions that can reach reality, that's why you have to be aware of this and always reflect on the media one consumes. But it's hard work and tiresome and a lot of times very painful.

In regards to uncomfortable, that reminds me somewhat of the genre Horror. I would guess, I would hope, that people enjoy the thrill and everything of Horror but would not want the stories they consume to happen to them in real life. Does this mental jump make sense? 😅 Just because you enjoy some media does not mean you want it to happen IRL. Like Zombie apocalypse, or any apocalypse, I hope nobody wants that to happen for real... To "live" in these worlds while reading/watching etc. in exciting but you are happy to not live in them at the end of the day IRL.

My credo is "live and let live" and "tag your posts/stories on AO3 or whatever right, so people can at least enjoy their experience on a side that should be enjoyable, reality sucks enough".

Oh, I never really followed Once Upon A Time TV show to be honest, I just know some of the characters but not really in depth.

Sansa/Sandor are actually my OTP, my main pairing I read about in the fandom. But Arya/Gendry, Shireen/Rickon, Brienne/Jaime I love too. There are some characters I do not really care about, like Bran or Jon. They can do whatever they want 😁 But I am not a Sansa/Jon shipper, that never peaked my interest.

Me too, I am NOT throwing stones! 🤣

Star Trek Voyager is acutally MY Star Trek. I love 7 of 9 very very much, and Icheb 💜💜💜💜 If you enjoy Borg there are a lot of episodes with them in Voyager, in the later season.

You know what! We did not talk about Buffy! So... for me it's always Buffy/Spike! What about you? Angel/Cordelia are 🔥 But for that to understand I think one must watch Angel the series 🤣

I do not have a lot of hope for George Martin to finish the books for A song of ice and fire 😤���😒😑 At least the fandom is still writing for the characters and there so much material out there that one can read for a long long time 💜💜💜

Oh! Ginny and Draco! That sound quite interesting. I don't know why but Ginny was never a character I thought I need to read more about. Maybe I like Hermione more because of her interest in knowledge and am not really interested in sports/Quidditch like Ginny is. 🤷‍♀️ But I do love Ginny as a side character NOT being with Harry anymore! All the options all the Slytherins 🤣 Same goes for Luna and Neville, or even Harry. I just like to pair them with the following Slytherins: Theodore Nott Blaise Zabini Astoria Greengrass Pansy Parkinson Daphne Greengrass I like a redemption arc after character saw the truth, especially if they were "evil" children. I do not think that any child or teenager is born evil, I think their "parents" are the actuall problem. The power dynamic between parents and children is extremly off balance. In fiction and reality.

OMG! YES! Darcy get's shipped with all the people in the Marvel unvierse. I kinda like it! But for me she always with Bucky, it's kinda a niche ship I know 🤣 I just really like that she does not take shit from anybody and says it like she sees it. But without being an acutall asshole. At least that's how I see her. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for answering 😊 To be able to talk to other people about my ships is always a joy. Because IRL there is nobody with whom I could do that 💜💜💜💜

Hi, so you do not have to publish your respond or answer at all 😉 But beside Five x Lila and Brienne x Jaime what other pairings do you ship? Much love 💜

Hi! 👋🏻

I don’t mind answering- the main thing I use tumblr for is appreciating and talking about ships that I love so it’s not an issue to answer this by any means :)

I haven’t watched a ton of new shows lately, mostly rewatching older favorites or watching new-to-me-but-not-new-this-year foreign tv shows. But I will put a few below (I liked the main couple in the foreign shows) and some of my older ships after that! 😊

Foreign TV shows (I don’t often find a lot of fanfic/ fan art for foreign TV shows comparatively but I loved these series):

-Love Between Fairy and Devil (cdrama)

-The Manny (Mexican TV show)

-Hidden Love (cdrama)

-Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (kdrama)

-Ever Night (cdrama)

-Love, Now (Taiwan drama)

-Tale of the Nine-Tailed (kdrama)

-Happiness (kdrama)

-Mischievous Kiss (jdrama)

-Boys Over Flowers (kdrama, but I like Ji Hoo/ Jan Di instead of the main couple of Joon Pyo/ Jan Di)

And several others, but those are the ones I remember at the moment.

Main ships from American and/ or western shows and movies (though I probably like others from the same franchise too):

-Marvel: Steve/ Peggy and Clint/ Natasha are my main ships. I really enjoy Bucky/ Sam too, but I haven’t ventured to them quite as much.

-Barney/ Robin from How I Met Your Mother

-Penelope and Colin from Bridgerton. Really liked Kate/ Anthony too.

-Carol/Daryl from The Walking Dead followed by Rick/ Michonne (admittedly I slowly lost interest in the series after Glenn died, & I think I mainly stopped watching after Carl died. But I love the ship still)

-Tony/ Ziva from NCIS

-Deeks/ Kensi from NCIS LA

-Rollins/ Carisi from SVU followed by Benson/ Barbara. (All 3 of which, NCIS/ NCIS LA/ SVU, I didn’t finish or don’t really keep up with regularly)

-Harry/ Hermione from Harry Potter

-Penny/ Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory (I probably stopped watching regularly after season 5 though)

-Chloe/ Oliver from Smallville

-Enola/ Tewksbury from Enola Holmes TV show

-Uncas/ Alice from Last of the Mohicans movie

-Casey/ Kevin from Split & Glass (they’re one of my more problematic ships, TBH)

Cartoons/ Anime/ Comics:

-Starfire/ Robin from 2003 Teen Titans cartoon & the 1980s comics & live action tv show, also known as Dick/ Kory followed by Beast Boy/ Raven (or Garfield/ Rachel)

-Bruce/ Selina (pretty much any Batman universe I’ve seen)

-Naruto/ Hinata from Naruto. Shikamaru and Temari are a secondary fav for me.

-Ichigo/Orihime from Bleach. I also like Renji/ Rukia.

-Toph/ Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender, but I prefer them as a post-original series couple. She’s too young for me to want them together during the show. Katara/ Aang.

Pretty much any of the studio Ghibli main characters, though there are still a few films I need to see…

Honorable mention to Lily/ Sebastian in the Love, Lies, & Hocus Pocus book series I’m currently reading…

There’s probably a ton of other ones (certainly there are more shows/ movies I love that I don’t necessarily have a ship for or that I just didn’t have a ship I went to fanfic for) but these were the ships I most remember from growing up and/or from reading fanfic/ fan art in the last 10 years or so…

What about you? What are some of your ships? I don’t suppose we have any other overlapping ships or shows, do we?

And much love right back at you! 🩵
