#i tried to start at ep 3 but it feels so wrong i went back to ep 2

[mavenbeeee]

the amount of times i’ve started rewatching a show then didn’t finish so i’ve seen the first episode of 500 different shows 500 times is crazy

[tastywormfood]

Ive tried to get my feelings about Moominvalley s4 into words, but im having a really hard time even accepting them. But ill try!

So here's my thoughts in Moominvalley s4.

Im 23 now and i remember being 12 - 15 figuring out my identity, and the only "representation" in mrdia being basically either "Bury your gays" trope or just queerbaiting. I grew up on a base level thinking i wasnt allowed to exist, and if i still dared to, tragedy would be my only birth right.

I believed i wasnt allowed to live a happy, soft AND queer life, cause no media i had seen had ever showed me that, that was a possibility.

Both the 90's Moomin series and Moominvalley 2019 are my comfort shows. I fall asleep to them at night, i listen to them like a podcast while im working or outside, they even calm my panic attacks. I collect cups, plushies, i collect the Comics and even some of the books.

I have 3 Moomin tattoos. This universe means a damn lot to me, and to thousands of ppl world wide.

As a queer person i find incredible comfort in Tove Janssons work, and you have to be a fool to be unable to see the way Snufkin and Moomintroll are written together.

I have been following this show since early 2020 and have watched interview to interview, ive listened to the podcast more times than i can count, and they knew what they were doing.

From the beginning of the show they deliberately wrote Snufkin and Moomin to be something more, they even confess In a BTS that their Moomin might like Snufkin more than Snorkmaiden. Even the podcast talked about it!! We are not crazy!!!

I feel incredibly gaslit by the entire situation, and suddenly im 14 again being told im reading too much into it.

Idk what happened inbetween S3 and 4, but it felt like all the love and care that came from the show, just disappeared?

Ignoring Snufmin for a second, every episode this season felt like a filler. It has no plot, followed up on nothing from the last seasons, and had an extreme amount of loose ends.

The former seasons, especially s1 and 2 has such amazing writting, character development and just a feeling of patience and of softness, i would watch it and think everything would be okay... But this season felt stripped of every inch of the care Tove Jansson put into her universe.

I want to talk a little about Moomintroll.

One of Moomins character Arcs is his want to grow up, its his need to be taken seriously and his need for independence and adventure. His need to step out of his dads shadow, and to be his own moomin! The character development he had built up through out the seasons, completely and utterly disappeared. There is no trace of anything in s4.

He is right back to where he started in s1, not being able to stand up for himself and say no, not having the confidence to go on adventures and right back to idealizing his dad. If anything this entire season felt like a prequal! Cause at least s1 Moomintroll wanted to learn, and was activily trying to change.

Moomintroll truly felt like a side character this season, i dont even think he has any important moments. Unless you count Comet in Moominvalley (which i dont), where all his independence has disappeared. Moominpapa literally has to push him out. He made one decision that eps, which was to float down the river instead of walking, which ended up being the wrong and slower way.

The regression Moomintroll went threw this season is heartbreaking, and thats not my Moomin.

Focusing for a bit on Snufkin, this season felt like a slap to the face.

They know that Snufkin is one of their most popular characters right? If not the most popular. If anything he is at least in the top 3, not only in Moominvalley but in the rest of the moominverse.

So why did this season feel like Snufkin erasure?

He was barely in it, and when he was all of that glow that normally radiats from him was all gone. He felt like the husk of a character.

This version of Snufkin was on of my favs, cause you could actually see his flaws and disagree with his actions. He had room to grow, and he did, he truly did.

He learned from Moomin just like Moomin learned from him. Their characters Arcs co align witch each other, their relationship and interactions are the pillars of the entire show. Snufkin and Moomintroll are what make the show proceed.

Finding the 2019 show for the first time as an 18 year old gave me confirmation and trust, that i was allowed to live a soft and slow life as a queer person. If Moomintroll and Snufkin could have that kind of beautiful queer slow burn romance, then i had a chance to as well.

They knew that a big part of their viewers are queer, and they knew how popular Snufmin was. They knew what kind of ppl they attracted, or they wouldnt have made it like that.

All the soft moments, the longing, the zoom in on eye contact, the zoom in on hand holding. They said trust us, they said be patient, and then they threw everything they had been building up out and set fire to it.

We got Queerbaited, and i truly havnt felt this feeling for a while. We got actual queer shows now, ofc they all end up being cancelled! But they exist!

This show felt like it was crafted with so much love and care, that i completely let my guard down. The entire queer Moomin community did a 5 year long trustfall, just to hit the floor the last second.

Season 4 of Moominvalley felt empty. It felt lost of all care and love. The first 3 seasons felt handcrafted by warm hands, season 4 felt machine made. Easy to digest, with no real soul.

Season 4 of Moominvalley feels souless.

I have chosen to live in a world where Comet in Moominvalley is a prequal to s4 and that s4 is a prequal to s1. The true last season was S3 and Moominvalley ended with Snufkin and Moomin walking arm in arm. Thats the only way i can Rationalize everything.

I have so much more to say, but ill stop here for now. Hope all of you are doing okay<3

scary girl analysis !

something something the most clearly gimmicky gen 4 character we know. as your resident pahkitew island apologist, i dont care. it actually took me a bit to warm up to her and i figured id talk abt why that is

so her main thing is being creepy and sadistic for the sake of jokes. its not serious.. mostly. she does prove to actually be down to hurt others (such as when she got a hold of a jackhammer). but what about an instance where she wanted to hurt someone for actual reasons? when was that?

that was when priya went up to her to compliment her on doing a good job on the previous challenge. priya says that shes surprised by scary girl having done a good job.

scary girls response?

a very defensive "oh, it surprised you that i was good? cuz you thought id do bad?"

and thats the thesis of this post

scary girl is very insecure

backing up for a moment, in ep 2 when the teams were on ships and attacking each other, she was the one who came up with the idea of sinking the other teams ship as an idea on what to do when they were out of ammo (? iirc). but no one else heard that, just zee

then in ep 3, ripper makes her go last in the relay race thing bc he didnt want her to "blow things" for the team. she reacts by trying to bite his finger. not with a funny creepy smile, but with genuine anger to her literal bite. and then during that challenge, she infamously grabs a bear by the arm and starts beating it up while saying "thats what you get for growling at me!!!". once shes done, she goes "byeee" and goes on like nothing happened. proving that if someone wrongs her, she can easily let it go.. so long as she gets to do something back. remember this for later

and here we come back to her interaction with priya. so far, scary girl has proven herself to be a pretty alright player and she herself knows that. so the notion of someone being SURPRISED she did well?? does not sit well with her at all. but the way that she harps on the wording, even before zee steps in to make it worse, is what gets to me. it just really adds an extra layer to her character that, well. ironically surprised me! for someone who always seems to be in her own world, so unconventional, so ill-fitting with everyone else to also be insecure in some capacity?

anyway she tries to hurt priya with a spoon but gets interrupted. later on, priya is still thinking abt their encounter and feels bad so she tries to make it up to scary girl by flattering her. namely by saying that scary girls question was smart.. and priya being her awkward self, only dug herself in a hole by making it seem like that was a smart question by scary girls standards

scary girl is speechless. baffled. mad beyond words

it should be noted that scary girl looked offended when priya even started speaking. meaning that she also did not forget about their conversation that morning. she REALLY took it to heart. applying the bear logic here, had scary girl hurt her with the spoon earlier, would she be less mad? would she had considered each other even? and in that case, would this comment go over better or would it had simply restarted her need for revenge?

well. they dont interact for the rest of the episode up until the very end. after ripper used priya as a human shield, obviously injuring her

scary girl tells her that rippers a jerk and that priya didnt deserve that. so she'll be voting to get ripper out. and calls priya her "friend".

(her face and tone makes me a bit suspicious if this was genuine. but thats probably just her being her offputting self so i'll ignore it.) ok so by scary girl logic, priya deserved to have SOMETHING bad coming her way after what she said to her.

but not this.

scary girl, who came here to "make friends and watch them get really hurt", was not okay with what ripper did to priya. perhaps she thinks that only she could be allowed to hurt priya to balance things out? personally giving priya her karma, perhaps?

but now she considers priya a "friend". who likely wants to see her get hurt. but in the fun way that scary girl likely sees most other contestants as, possibly? idk.

anyway after all of that, we can see just how insecure scary girl can get over unintentionally awkward phrasing. just how deeply it hurts her feelings to be underestimated like that

season 2 spoilers ahead !!!

in season 2, we see even less of her. but there is SO much to work with

normal girl is so fascinating to me

by the time s2 starts, scary girl already has an all new look. shes trying to be "normal"

she admits in her confessional that some ppl thought she was too scary in the first season so thats why she changed her appearance and her everything. who were these ppl?

other than a dog as a joke, online forums, showing an interesting glimpse into the in-universe ""real world"" stepping into total drama. perhaps also a meta joke on the fandoms response to her but who knows. imagine unabashedly being yourself on tv and everyone is telling you to change. you are 16 and likely going through a weird phase. feeling a lot of heightened emotions already and ""knowing"" that this is who you are (at the moment). and if its not a phase? still 16 on international television getting lambasted by millions

and last but not least, her MOM??? her own mother. that just raises more questions abt how scary girl was before getting on td. was she NOT like this before? was she playing it up for the cameras? or did she just go unhinged without parental supervision? in any case the fact is that even her own mom wasnt okay with what makes her happy and how she presented herself.

so scary girls solution? to try her best to suppress anything that made her unique. to try to adhere to "societal norms", in her own words.

we dont see much of her in this ep other than her commenting on how shes normal and totally did not want to see someone get hurt. shes clearly struggling so bad. she knows that apparently what she likes isnt "right", therefore the opposite must be true, right?

she is simultaneously so immediately different that the others didnt even recognize her at first. yet still so "scary" that she cant fit in. she just doesnt know how no matter how hard she tries. if she were to stay longer, what can she do? this game is not only abt your skills in the challenges its also a social thing. how long until she snapped and went back to her old ways?

and then we get to the campfire ceremony. chef is about to call out whatever it was the she did wrong that day, but she interrupts him with a simple "no."

she cannot fathom being sent home, at least not this early. bc shes normal! she is sooo normal and she tried SO HARD to be normal! she read normal books and normal movies and studied normal people. she even taught herself to smile in a more acceptable way, which is so autistic coded to me. so she deserves to stay longer.

(getting flashbacks to my topher psychoanalysis and his entitlement being both a tragedy and his self-imposed downfall)

..but she studied "normal people" in her own not-normal way. while they werent looking. while they were sleeping. while they had no idea she was there.

so she got booted out for that. and she cannot believe it.

when she says that she "didnt even try to hurt anyone this time", she is mad. that was her ""fun"" and she managed to control it 100% only to get eliminated??? shes fed up!

but when she talks about how she taught herself how to smile in a "less-creepy" way?

she softens up and looks genuinely hurt.

she tried so hard. she saw all those horrible comments from people judging her based on like 5 episodes on a reality show. her own mother didnt accept her. her insecurity won and she aimed to change and repress everything that made her unique

and it still wasnt enough

Random Thoughts about The Rebound ep 3 & 4 :

Wow so many things happened in these episodes. I don’t know where to start. I have to admit this series is really getting more interesting for me. I’m glad I tried it even if I wasn’t super hyped about it. I like when I try somethings that doesn’t seem to be for me and the series proves me I was right to give it a chance. That would be great if the series continues to surprises me this way.

▪️ So Ruy decided he would no longer participate in street basketball and instead he joined the school team and went back to school. Of course, he needs no introduction because people already considers him as trouble, especially on the team. However, he doesn’t really care. He doesn’t need people to approve him to do what he wants to do. When the rest of team members didn’t helped Jedi because they didn’t want the team to be suspended, Ruy didn’t hesitate to step in. It was a bit disappointed some members were so hostile to him just because he used to play street basketball and they imagined the worst of him. I get why Ruy got frustrated to be treated differently just because of his “past”.

▪️ On the other hand, I think Zee feels a bit lost. He is still driven by his desire to make his team succeeded and he takes to heart his role as the team captain. You can see how basketball is important to him. At the same time, while being a high school student (I still have trouble accepting this reality. I believe they should have put all of them in uni because they don’t look like highschoolers at all) he also has to work and take care of his grand-mother. It must be difficult to navigate all of these. I still believes he is trying his best, but sometimes it’s too much. Despite all of these, I’m amazed by his resilience.

▪️ To be honest, I’m more drawn to the relationship between some characters than the characters in their individuality. I’m going to try to explain what I mean. By themselves, the characters are interesting but what makes the series stand out is the link between some of them and how it affects the plot. I have few in mind and I will describe why I like them.

▪️ First of all, there are Zee and Ruy. We’ve learned they were childhood friends who used to play basketball together in the same team when they were in middle school. They were really close, but then something happened and they lost contact. They met again while being in high school. You can see that they switch easily back to the time when they were close. At one point, Ruy was chilling on the roof and Zee played invisible basketball again with him, just like when they were children. You could see how fast they went back to play together like nothing happen and then, they were this moment of wavering and they got shy. It was like they remember they weren’t as close as before and also there is something is going on... There is this little tension between them when they are only together. There were some interrupted moments when I thought they would kiss each other… and then nothing. Two characters made us known Ruy has feeling for Zee: Atom noticed it when Ruy came to Zee’s house, and Q also questioned him about it. What about Zee?

▪️ Speaking of Q and Zee. Their relationship is so ambiguous. With one flashback we learned that Q kind of saved Zee and since then they have this strong brothers’ relationship. Q seems to care a lot about Zee, but sometimes you wonder if there isn’t more. I feel we didn’t get enough from Zee to be sure. I think it’s because Q seems to be more expressive than Zee about his feelings. I don’t know, I may be wrong. I hope we’ll learn more about them. To be honest, I feel like Q has really ambiguous relationship with everyone he is close with. I mean his relationship with the gangster (can’t remember his name properly) isn’t properly clear. In the first two episodes, I felt like they had something going on before, but Q was injured and couldn’t play as before, so he became less interesting to the gangster and now their relationship isn’t the same. Maybe I’m just imagining things.

▪️ Atom started to be the character I’m wary about. At first, I was really happy I’ve found one character played by Frank that I like. However, I feel like he is trying too hard and it’s getting unconformable. When he was eating with Zee, he was always making requests Zee couldn’t really reject. You could feel how uneasy was Zee. Even if he accepted all of his requests, you could see on his face that he considered not agreeing with them at first, but then changed his mind. I also feel weird about how Atom is trying so hard to get into Zee’s life. He was at his home, he wants to see Zee outside and he is always making sure Zee can’t really reject what he is offering. He is too nice to be true. It could just be me who is too mistrustful, but I feel like Atom is hiding something.

▪️ I’m also really interested about what is going on between Prince and the other team member Jed. Give me more about them, because I like it.

Of course, many other things happened but those are the ones which I wanted to talk about (I didn’t talk about Zee kidnapping or Ruy threatening Jedi’s bullies with a lighter in a high school!!). I’m really excited about the upcoming episodes and I can’t wait to watch them.

[reallifetangent]

Just saw someone on TikTok saying the "You could live a thousand lives and never deserve that boy" saying that Cat King, Monty and Charles don't deserve Edwin and I've never seen so much bullshit in my life (as far as I can remember)

How come you throw down 3 character arcs and ignoring at least Charles' temper and context to put above on a pillar one character who has bad things as well.

Post was in Spanish, I'm translating what it said with the colors.

Sorry for the random rambling/texts, I had to get it out of my system and sorry if I had wrong stuff

Obviously spoilers about the whole series

Cat King: he started wrong and pressured Edwin on things he didn't know

There's an analysis post here that explains why the punishment made sense. Edwin was warned of not messing around with the cats. Cat King of course had moments where he made Edwin obvious and clearly uncomfortable, and either stopped there or stepped back. Even between all his flirty aura and wanting to play and be loved by this Twink Ghost, he still respected Edwin and was pretty much consensual (the bracelet not because again, it's just the punishment because of what Edwin did to the cats), like proposing counting cats instead of pleasing him physically as soon as he realized Edwin wasn't in that lane.

By the end of the season, he's the one that changes the less respecting from where they started (I think). He's still a flirty, charming, iconic, still respecting and asking for the hug, this time only calling him from the distance because he knows the context, they're mourning Niko, he can't be that flirty or attention seeker, he knows how much she meant for Ed. The flowers scene where it's both flowers for him but also for her (the flower's meanings about rebirth, purity, innocence. I think it's how Niko was for this world, but also huge kudos to this Reddit when I was looking for the flower scene)

Monty: tricked Edwin so the witch could have her revenge.

Monty is a Crow Familiar. He ofc owes loyalty to his witch. He was turned into a human with the condition of helping his master. And he catches feelings. He's been a human since what? Less than a week? He gets hooked by Edwin. He loves Edwin. When they kiss and Edwin says he doesn't love him back, he's hurt. And he's Esther's familiar. What did she do once she didn't get what she wanted? Plan on revenge. He's still hurt, he thinks Edwin didn't care about his feelings. He even said they shouldn't be friends anymore.

Damn, he even went along deeper even thinking that they wouldn't get the case since they were Ace Detectives, until he heard that the fungus ate ghosts/spectrals so this wasn't an easy revenge. He tried to lead them/him away from it. Then Cat King interrupted and well, shit went down. More hurt feelings, more disgraces. He gets back to Esther who dislikes that her dear crow familiar was on the side of Edwin and caught feelings. He didn't want to feel like that, he didn't ask to be hurt, didn't want to be human and have feelings. Ofc he couldn't be with Edwin as long as Esther is his witch, she still has control over him. And yet he tried to go against her orders. He even helped Charles getting away on last ep.

Charles: said cruel words, wishing he never died and throwing in his face that Ed would never be able to keep the group together because he can't and he lacks Char's charisma.

Charles was fresh from living on a loop that caught him because his reaction to trauma was too strong. He had to live(?) and watch over and over again a family suffering for the exact same thing that reminded him his living life. Even worse, he had to experience on bucle him trying to stop it just to be interrupted and made him watch it until the father was done, looking at the corpses and then the gunshot. Tell me about feeling helpless and useless when you are stuck on a loop where your attempt of trying to help it's not working and you are seeing it over and over again. Ofc he was more than upset for not being able to help, to stop Crystal from getting hurt, from Edwin lying to him because Ed was troubled in his mind, and Night Nurse reminding him the physical violence he lived, how he died.

Charles and Edwin died at 16. Sixteen. How many things they could've experienced but never happened? They'll never get to grow up. He died and he never had a chance to stand up against his dad and protect his mom. He lost the chance to keep the bullies away from others. He lost all the sensations, he lost most of his senses. Not being able to enjoy things because he can't feel them. He misses spaghetti, he said he might miss kissing (he and Crystal kissed, he said he didn't feel anything but well, as long as she does, he's okay with it). He misses being able to have people his age to hang around. And everything was taken away from him.

Ofc he tries to be positive about it, he tries to be useful to make up for not helping when he was alive. He didn't want to be like Brad and Hunter, but he wanted to be that cool guy loved by everyone and was an actual good person. You can't hold on a smile for too long without it turning into a fake one after having all of that. All those years he shoved away the familiar violence, until he had to live it again, two times, and see that he couldn't stop it. He's hurt by everyone (Edwin lying to him, the whole Crystal's case still unsolved, etc), and he reached the limit. Are you telling me he would just smile again and pretend it was nothing? He'd been doing that for so long, and now he was unable to hide it again.

And last but not least, Edwin.

Edwin Payne, sassy Edwardian Era Teenager who has an ego so big you can see it from space, plays hard to get on the cases, thinks he's better/smarter than anyone (one thing is being it, other is claiming it), thinking everyone is on his same level or page (the whole Does that look blue to you? We have the same left! Implying that what he says and knows are too obvious that forgets not everyone thinks like him. I relate to that soooo bad) Shoved away more than once Crystal, has more salt than the Dead Sea, calls out more than once Charles for trying to keep Crystal around, when Jenny was calling Crystal out for running or whatever he was shocked that Crystal wasn't paying attention to him like how dares she ignore me. And don't get me started with invalidating everyone's feelings when they said they were hurt or living a nightmare... We got it. Hell was a literal hell. But you're dealing right now with a girl who's around 16-18 and you're trying to solve her case, not a competition about "Who suffered the most".

Ofc at the end of the season he's finally fond of Crystal, he was finally accepting her as part of the team even without her powers, he's now able to express better his feelings, better at setting and saying things and stop assuming everyone is on his same level, he starts caring about people like Monty (even after breaking his crow heart, he apologizes and tries to explain that he was new to that as well and things could've been with them staying as friends until Cat King made his entrance and the reveal, Cat King with the whole Cat Mouse Game he was able to again, start accepting he has feelings and being the way they are is not bad, able to set boundaries, even allow himself to play silly things like actually counting the cats.

Edwin had to go through a lot of things to be able to actually be open and grow as a character. I feel everyone likes Edwin at the end of the season or praise his Salty Sassy Edwardian Teenager phase, and it's not bad, but please do not throw down other characters to get him higher. Or at least, don't throw them down like that. Do not treat him like it's flawless, just because you like his flaws.

I mean, I feel like I'm not writing nothing we haven't seen, like stating the obvious. Maybe a rewatch to see better the character arcs?

[anluz]

ok i have many thoughts about this season SO i will write them here, home it makes sense.

no formating, we die lie [CENSORED]

Some blanket statements about the season at all.

GOOD.

-The comedy is on point. The show jokes hit much better and harder this season. -Some scenes really are well framed. (aka the spitfire episode. holy shit)

BAD

The maltos are much more ‘battle thirsty’

The autobots are useless now

the flattening of the decepticons

Episode 1

Ok, so we are starting in the media res of the new conflict. slightly disappointed but don’t mind it that much.

What I DO MIND is the shift the maltos had about the whole Autobot-decepticon situation on Earth.

Like, correct me if I'm wrong, but the MALTOS were fighting in order to have their new family members not taken away, yes? to live on earth in peace? 

Why do THEY have to retrieve the emberstone shards? Why do THEM have to sacrifice both their safety and their time developing as well adjusted people (in the case of Mo and robbie) FIGHTING WITH WAR VETERANS?? 

WHILE THE AUTOBOTS

ARE

RIGHT

THERE

“oh but anna its a children show, of course it needed to have some action with the kids”

ok.

but how come there's not ONE autobot with them on the mission? its more in the autobots best intinterest  to keep the decepticons away from that fucking stone.

also good fucking job just ASSUMING the new terrans are evil from the get go. just from ONE fight where (where the terran in question was created. and theres a whole thing about the emberstone creating live in accord of the needs of the moment).

Aftermath is funny. i can give him that,

EPISODE TWO.

Not much to say.

its was good.

I am a sucker for the joke `dangerous individual tries to kill cinnamon roll, and cinnamon roll doesn't notice it/luck makes all the harm deflect on them” so i had a good time on that.

The `mosey` subplot was weak. it needed more build up and that annoyed me.

hOW NOBODY FOUND THOSE RUINS BEFORE THERE'S A BIG ASS HOLE LOOKING RIGHT AT THE MIDDLE OF THOSE RUINS COME ON. Don't even talk about drones (probably ghost emps against any of that for a long time) but how not ONE living person stumbled upon that???)

its was ok. 7/10

EPISODE 3

It was ok. Hashtag plot about `choosing` was ok. nothing special.

Hashtag and shockwave fight was pretty fucking awesome, as ravage escape.

I also love that shockwave optic gets redder as he gets angrier.

EPISODE 4

i didnt liked the idea of `human villains` before but…in a world where cybertronian tech exists since the 80`s, it surprised me there aint more people using that and committing to some gimmick for the shits and giggles.

said that…

swindle???

your whole thing is BEING A WEAPON SALESMAN. A CON ARTIST.

HOW DID YOU LET YOUR COOL SLIP YOU SO BAD????

WHY ARE YOU NOT BACK THERE TRYING TO GET THAT FUCKING STONE WITH FORCE??? WHAT???

also…didnt the ‘humans and terrans feel eachother emotions’ thing went away after the second batch of terrans came about?

Also yayy weird al

who care about the fusing gimmick. sure.

6/10

Episode 5

I like that wheeljack points out that this fucking and the enigma of combination are two different things.

Jawbreaker was…kinda annoying in this ep? i guess…it could roll in the sense that JB is excited to meet a possible new friend/family member and he wants to make a good first impression but….

Still very annoying.

we could have explored more about why aftermath is so angry all the time or why jb is always so careful and peaceful all the time APART from when he is in his alt mode!

there could be a thing there, but the JB partakes in some destruction seems more like a child not knowing any better than possibly something he bottles up in the daily.

also??i get the others are excited for the fusion thing  but JAWBREAKER IS GONE FOR A WHOLE DAY? MAYBE CHECK ON YOUR BROTHER?

EPISODE 6

the  shot composition in this fucking episode are CRAZY HOLY SHIT

Twitch going more on her ‘leader’ role. nice.

why…how the shard is just…lying there?

I like spitfire, and i think it makes sense for her to be a literal `evil twitch` as if, what if twitch didnt had a moral compass

now the thing that FUCKING ANNOYED ME

WHY,

WHY ARE YOU GUYS EVEN ENTERTAINING THE IDEA OF GIVING THIS NEW BOT. A BOT YOU DONT KNOW. A BOT SAID TO BE BORN THAT VERY DAY. A FUCKING IMPORTANT MISSION?????

Op Elita and Megs should have shut that shit down rigth there! there should have been a `sorry spitfire. i dont doubt your prowess, but twitch knows more of our MO but now. with some training i bet you will be taking a mission like this one in no time”

SHE STILL CAN BE FURIOUS

SHE STILL CAN CHALLENGE TWITCH TO A OBSTACLE COURSE

WHY DID YOU GUYS HAD TO DRESS UP AS A STUPID CYBERTRONIAN PRIDE THING???? MAKES NO SENSE

it was funny? yes. i loved the race per se. but?? the WHY? they are doing it?? stupid.

(((what if alex won the fucking race then Megatron?? Would you guys go through with it?? huh??? fuck off. ALSO WHY SIR. WHY ARE YOU WITH YOUR DECEPTICON BADGE? SHOULDNT YOU BE W AN AUTOBOT ONE? OF FUCKING NONE AT ALL?????))

EPISODE 7

Sure. ok. mind swap episode. sure

ngl it was rlly cute seeing aftermath consider Spitfire his true sister

i appreciate hardtop only arm getting fucking jacked (i bet he cant *afford* a new one because OF COURSE swindle your charge him lol)

ravage lil energon bowl (also…is energon solid? do they it in in chunks AND liquid? hmn)

i like the `bravado fight` with the seekers…i think it legit would have worked a bit if she did that towards skywarp of nova storm first lol

it was an ok episode. 

EPISODE 8

It was fun. zero substance.

since WHEN robbie likes optimus prime that much??? they always acted ok to neutral with him in s1

but sure. ok. serviceable.

EPISODE 9 AND 10

oh? do those kids GO to school? you could have fooled me.

i liked the slight ptsd/anxiety of hashtag in the cave.

more `chaos terrans` sibling moment. cute

(the first time watching i though it was unicron. happy it wasent)

to be fair with the quintessons i ALSO would be very mad if my god created me with the purpose of ‘helping’ (whatever this may entail) a race i never saw in my life, and discovered they did that with many many others.

hey shockwave? maybe if you had a problem w the plan maybe you should have SAID something? or made your counterplans? why wait the HOUR before the plan was going to be put in action to say anything?

also…how…is the titan bring a new cybertron to earth? Is he going to metalform the planet? is it a ship? is it just a `big gun` so you could threaten the USA and control earth somehow??

also, glad to see they ‘tried’ coming back to cybertron but couldnt figure how (yet)

this marks the point where….the dialogue gets really cheesy…unbearable cheesy and cliche ..ugh (when starscream has alex as a hostage)

im should have been happier that mo, hashtag and trash are the team for the last fight…they are my favorite maltos..ugh

i feel like there should be a more angry/emotional shouting match w hashtag and starscream…srlys

ah yes. the part where starscream kills the kids…honestly? in character. He always was `the end justify the means’ (unless his 2 brain cells are rubbing together and he thinks in a more long term form) and killing two brats that their main traits was destroying stuff and being a prideful lil shit? yeah. nothing to star to form attachments there.

he would NEVER take the ‘you are more cruel than megatron ever was’

not THIS starscream.

unless they try handwave it with `he was larping as villain so he could get through the plan he thought would legit help the decepticons’ but im not holding my breath on that.

oh wow, starscream going crazy with power again, who would though.

im really getting tired of this. 

more chest fucking dialogue

ARE ALL THE DECEPTICONS LOCKED UP AGAIN, THIS TIME WITHOUT ENERGON????? FUCK. I CANNOT BELIEVE WE ARE BACK TO FUCKING SQUARE ONE.

YES JUST HELP TERATRONUS. THE PERSON YOU JUST MET AND TALKED FOR LESS THAN A HOUR. 

fuck i'm upset.

i wish s1 didnt happened so i just could have this be another actiony-humor tf cartoon and not give me hope for something more.

Blood curdles,suns set ep 3:regress and regrets [this aus inspired by silly celestials au](tw:blood,pain,starvation, sfw agere pls dont be weird]

eclipse was somehow able to sleep, its been weeks since he had. Bloodmoon and harvestmoon were just poking and prodding at him, wondering if he died, hey checked his status and he was alive. They guessed he passed out from all the pain and went to go control the body and hunt.leaving eclipse alone. 

And once eclipse woke up he was instantly hit with intense pain everywhere, everything hurt, he was hoping he was just having a bad dream but he remebered that this is his reality. In his eyes his well deserved reality.he wanted to scream and cry at the same time but nothing came out, he felt the need to grab the blood bag near him, tear it open, and chug it. He was so hungry, he was so scared, he was so in pain and stressed.

But he didnt, he couldnt, he was so weak, he was so in pain, he still felt so wrong about it.he felt the feeling of getting smaller and smaller.until he drops. He didnt understand what was going on, he felt small. His body was big but he felt small. He was in somewhere so big, so scary and so big.he didnt understand he didnt wanna feel like this.Hes not small, hes not weak. And just then another sharp pain kicked in, it hurt way worse then before he felt small. At this point he just started to sob.

Meanwhile bloodmoon and harvestmoon are enjoying a feast of a random hobo they found on the street, when they decided to go check on eclipse. Hey go back into the head space and see a sobbing eclipse. Bloodmoon laughs his head off finding the fact eclipse is crying hilarous but harvestmoon wasnt laughing,he wasnt even giggling. He noticed somthing bloodmoon couldnt. He tapped bloodmoon shoulder and says “brother, harvestmoon thinks dorito man has regressed”. Bloodmoon tilted his head and asked “what do you mean brother?”. Harvestmoon explained what regressing meant and the realization hit bloodmoon like a bus.”we cause dorito man to go small?” bloodmoon timidly asks which harvestmoon responds with a nod.bloodmoon look back to eclipse and asks “did we take it to far?”.”harvestmoon thinks we toke it way to far” harvestmoon says in reply.

Bloodmoon slowly goes over to eclipse and softly says “hey lil guy?” and the moment bloodmoon says that eclipse sobs even more stuttering out the words “i-i’m not little, i-i’m not little!” he scratchs at his face casing and pulls his rays which makes bloodmoon flinch and let out a worried whimper, he calls over harvestmoon who goes over and tries to explain to eclipse whats happening and why its happening. Eclipse after a bit understands why he feels so small, even though hes still upset about it. But just then another strike of pain to eclipses stomach, he sobs and crys, holding his stomach.the twins both know hes not gonna eat the blood if he knows it blood, so they go to someone who knows how to make blood not seem like blood.

Meanwhile lunars just happily prepping some blood cookie batter for the twins when they burst in, lunar trys to tell them they have to wait for the cookies but they stop him and explained the situation.lunar understands and grabs some blood muffins and cookies from the pantry. He tells the twins to let eclipse control the body. Which they do, and lunars greeted with terrified and pained crying and blubbering. Lunar shushes and calms him, handing him a muffin. Eclipse sniffs it a bit and takes a bite. And instantly starts to calm down. He happily eats the cookies and muffins. And lunar makes sure he doesnt eat to fast.

Eclipse ate quite a bit, and once he was done the pain was gone and he felt great. Still small but great.lunar smiles seeing that hes all better, he then asks if eclipse wants to sleep since he must be tired after eating all that. Which was true, instead of feeling pain he was feeling sleepy.eclipse streached and yawned rubbing his eye sleepily. Lunar grabs him a plushie and blanket, leading him over to a bed and laying him down. He reads eclipse a story and leaves a nightlight on when he turns off the light.

Looks like things are looking up.

ep one-ep two

[night-faye]

"Let the demon child come out and play!" everybody who knows Nezha lore turns to stare at the camera. I knew with this episode, you'd have two more reasons to hate Peng than just Macky and Mei lol. "This isn't worth your life." "You're right. It's worth far more than that." *sighs in lore.* You need therapy too, this show made it worse. "No matter what options it's giving you, you're always going to end up in the same spot." "Ooooh, thanks Macaque. You went through more effort than usual to make me feel like dirty dirt dirt. Good job, round of applause." ABSOLUTELY CRACKING UP AT MK DISHING OUT ALL THIS SASS AND MACKY'S STUMPED LOOK AND AWKWARD EYE ROLL gosh that face- "You were supposed to realize by now that the choices the game's giving you aren't the only choices you've got. Life isn't some pre-written thing like a video game where you have to do what the tutorial says." "It's time to start making your own choices. Something I wish I'd learned a lot sooner than I did." DULY NOTING THIS DOWN FOR THE S4 SPECIAL. We know, it's hard for you to be pushy when you were younger, always following Wukong and friends. Also ow, the cut to the drawing they made together :') two different art styles, they DID draw that together and Wukong kept it all this time :') :') :') Well now that we're in the S4 special uh hehe, you can see where it comes in :) "Only you get to decide who you are, kiddo." That had NO right to be as soft as it was. Haha yep, very weird how the Celestial beings instantly react to that. Only other thing those three have in common excluding MK is dying and being brought back in different ways.

1) SoySauce Duo is a TREASURE. It's so funny watching MK gush about how Wukong was all cute and cheeky, no WAY he did nothing wrong. "Sir, my client is just a fluffy monkey. Let him go. Is it a crime to be silly?" He'd make a great lawyer lol. Meanwhile, Macky is RIGHT THERE lol. It's ok we already heard his perspective. But he's holding back and is just like.......dude. did you even read the book.

2) Love love love the trope of Macky constantly collecting more monkeys. Those little guys missed him a lot, surely. Also LOL at MK laughing at Macky's expense over being called "bud." There's a misconception that Macky would be calling Wukong "peaches" nah that's all stuff like "your majesty" meanwhile Wukong is nicknaming this grumpy ball of fluff something cute like "peaches." Hard agree with his anguish tho like tell us what happened already for realsies we're still waiting for part 2!! 3) "We have to try. He'd do the same for any of us." Meanwhile Macky: *thinking back to MK's S3 rant and the cave divorce* "I can't believe I'm sticking my neck out for Wukong. Again." says monkey not being forced to do anything. Love also, how he apparently read all 2,000 pages of this book. just divorced ex-best friend nemesis you want to kill things. ALSO 😭 that "Wukong, what have you done." has crazy emotion. you two know each other so deeply. Notice how Wukong's eyebrows used to be all messy like Macky's here 🤔 something something, monkey who tries to appear more like a civilized human to belong somewhere and not be seen as a savage beast. 4) Who knows really why Macky was bandaging himself alone or what fight he got into off screen. Just warrior things. But hey 👀 that promise he reminded Macky of in the 2nd ep this season. It is ILLEGALLY CUTE AND PRECIOUS how Wukong is able to dispel any doubts or concerns Macky has just by poking him all goofy like that and UGH THE CUTE SHY SMILES THAT HE CAN'T HELP BC OF HIS STUPID OPTIMISTIC SHINING LIGHT OF A FRIEND and the FREAKING HAIR RUFFLE "Quit it, eat your dang peach." He says with a complete smile audible in his voice bc his friend is stupidly endearing. "You're a peach!" OKAY WUKONG.

>*throws myself off a cliff*<

[quettasecond]

who is your current favorite love life idol and why? were they your first favorite idol or did you discover them after playing the game more? did you dislike them or not care about them then they grew on you?

im very interested since i feel like youve mentioned it but never really went into depth about said topic.. love you corpsette btw

my first favorite was riko, i remember i got into love live in ~2016 (after sunshine season 1 but before season 2, before the first aqours duo-trio album as well) with my first actual taste of it being sif1 (rip....), i saw her at the screen to choose your starting idol(?) and i really liked her from that point. however, i think shes probably been overtaken by yohane for my favorite aqours member. recently yohane got an anime focused on her and ive been meaning to watch it but havent yet... i also need to finish sunshine season2 ive been procrasting SINCE IT CAME OUT!!! T-T

^the picture of riko (red hair) i used here was probably one of my faves as a kid i thought she looked soo pretty

also, back then i considered myself to have a fave muse member (eli) but i barely interacted with muse in any of the games and only watched like 4 eps of sip so i gave up on labelling myself as having a fave muse member since it feels a bit wrong to do so when i know so litttle even though information is easily avaliable to me yk, however towards the end of me labelling myself as having a fave muse member it started to shift to kotori

when nijigaku (at the time pdp) was revealed i clung to kanata, however my fave nijigaku member is now probably lanzhu (she might be one you remember me talking about? possibly yohane as well), the only sifas season i fully(?) read was season 2 bc of her, thats the season she was introduced/an antagonist in, i want to watch the nijigaku anime to see her but i heard they changed her personality a bit so im a bit anxious. everyone hated lanzhu when she was first revealed it seems except me. also shes the only member i actually tried to read all of the bond stories of in sifas (rip........)

for liella, i forget who i liked when they were first revealed pre-anime, but i do like keke. i also think margarete will become a fave as well when she joins liella in the upcoming third season i already like her a little :3

i havent engaged with much hasunosora but i think if i do ill like tsuzuri

i dont think ill be able to pin the exact reason why i like everyone - i just attach to a character and accept it i guess, but i can give a reason i like keke and why i think ill like tsuzuri!

keke - how much she wants to be an idol... even as a kid i wanted to make music in a way, and when i first watched aqours i guess the urge grew stronger, so its like im watching someone who has the same wish as me actually succeed in doing so...

tsuzuri - when her introduction video was released my first thought was "wow, i think people might describe her in ways i was described" (specifically, how i was once described as always seeming like im in another world or somewhere else mentally) so ive been predicting me liking her ever since. but i havent read too much about her yet so

Winners Never Quit

Because Jin will make extremely sure that his bunny wins no matter what.

This was supposed to be a simple Traces post but it turned into something monstrously long? Anyways, long scroll ahead if anyone wants a peek.

!! SPOILERS AHEAD for Run BTS episodes. !!

Times when Jin turned the world upside down to let JK have his way:

Run BTS ep. 147 (2021)

The episode was a whole mess where one of the camera directors even got locked inside a fake jail for real. I think this might be one of my favorite episodes because it's just so chaotic. 💕

The point of the game was to find the two mafias hiding amongst citizens, and the members had to vote at the end who they thought were the mafias. If the citizens got it wrong, the citizens will be publicly spanked. If the mafia was caught, the mafia was spanked.

Suga and Jin were the mafia, the rest didn't know. And they had believed there were 3 members who were mafia. These cuties.

When deciding on the four who were 100% citizens i.e. get to hold the paddle (?) to victory, the guys descended into chaos deciding over the last member to include.

It was V vs Jungkook vs Jin. It was mainly down to V and Jungkook.

As noted earlier Jin was the mafia. Therefore, he's on the opposite team as to both Jungkook and V.

However, watching the episode you'd think he's on team Jungkook.

It's the absolute sweetest because choosing JK or V was meaningless, either of them getting on the team meant Jin would lose. Yet Jin's whole focus was on getting Jk on the team and not himself.

He just wanted Jk to not feel bad. (And poor Tae getting the bunt of Jin's attacks)

Run BTS ep. 96 (2019)

Jin was the MC for their childhood games themed episode. When Jin is MC, you can be sure that Jk will get special treatment of some sort.

When it came time to choose Beyblades (the name of the toy) for their tournament, Jin's double standards really shone.

1. gathering all his braincells to give JK first choice in choosing.

Because Jimin won the last game, the rule was that the previous winners get to choose their toy first and this riled the guys up.

After a bout of shouting at the host, they calmed down and when the others didn't pip up again for favoritism, Jk stood out.

2. telling others to pipe down vs. let's listen to Jk's story

During the group protest, Jhope and RM tried to argue their case by appealing to Jin's sentimental (?) side.

When Jk asked for special consideration, Jin was suddenly interested in hearing childhood stories.

3. snatching the best toy before the others could claim it VS Jk wants it? Happy to oblige.

Jin brazenly claimed the golden top so others couldn't have it. You know, so he could keep it in reserve in case someone didn't get the toy of his choice.

Too bad Jk fumbled the bag being the clumsy cutie he always is. But I'm pretty sure that if he went through with the poem to the end, Jin would have happily given his toy to him.

Run BTS ep. 124 (2020)

This particular instance suddenly made me feel really sorry for the other members because I realized why Jk was the maknae on top. The maknae who gets his way even if the cards are unfavorable.

This episode, the members were asked to pitch new ideas for upcoming Run BTS episodes and this happened in the last stage of voting for their ideas.

It came down to either Lucky 777 or the Mafia game. Former was based off luck and playing mini games, latter was more interactive and based on acting and deducing.

When the mafia game was brought up, Jin and Hobi both voiced interest:

Jk had noticed Jin's interest:

When everyone was talking about mafia game, Jk didn't say a single word.

But later when it came down to voting, Jk suddenly redirected the conversation back to 777 again (they discussed 777 before bringing up mafia), and couldn't stop making comments:

When finally, finally they started to actually vote, Jk jumped in all of a sudden, suggesting they allow everyone to vote multiple times. I.E. people who wanted mafia game can vote again for 777. You know, free will.

Votes for mafia game:

When Jin raised his hand, he also stuttered slightly saying, "Mafia game seems fun."

While he was saying that, Jk was looking directly at him and said something inaudible

"Hyung, raise your hand again." (Yes, I was there. That's what he said.)

Now without Jk's multiple voting suggestion, mafia game would have won the vote already. But obviously, that's not how it ended.

Because

777 won by a large margin.

While some laughed at the results, others were not as amused. The camera angle unfortunately didn't show their faces properly but I could spot RM, V looking somewhat resigned. These two had previously voted for mafia game (RM's vote was verbal and not caught by the editors).

This round of voting became moot because the votes seemed meaningless if people could vote twice. So they went round 2, one vote per person.

Pls go watch the episode and listen to the little quiver of laughter in Jin's voice here (30:32) when he started the voting for mafia game

Votes were: V, Jimin, Jhope.

And then barely holding his laughter in (30:37) for 777:

Votes were: Jk, Suga, RM, Jin.

Yes, he already knew the results. They all did.

Nobody looked as happy as Jk when 777 won:

So over the course of choosing, Jin was the only member who switched over from Mafia game to Lucky 777. And 777 won by a slim margin of one vote.

Jk on top.

Small detail: RM seemed to have no preference between the two games and was mostly playing the balance game to keep the peace between the members. Like when four people voted for mafia game in the first round, it looked like mafia game would win so RM told Jin to count him too. Then after JK's not-at-all-subtle comment to Jin across the table, he raised his hand for 777 too. RM's votes and comments were all very neutral and he almost seemed like he was jumping ships constantly... which to me showed his poise as the leader. Inferring that he may have taken the backseat on a lot of group decisions in the past to respect every member, and it's habitual at this point.

Jin's birthday vlive 2019

Coupled with the example from above, V and Jimin seem to really like the mafia game. One suggested it during the live and one hi-fived his bro.

Sparked a small migraine while trying to organize this moment into a coherent event. There was so much talking and things happening at the same time.

Jin had turned on a Vlive broadcast the day before his birthday to spend time with fans, and premeditated the appearance of the other members to join his broadcast.

Alas, when the others actually appeared, Jin couldn't control the situation and as usual chaos ensued.

When Jhope, Jimin, Jk and V all remained in Jin's room with no sign of leaving, Jin tried to carry out his planned segment of playing a computer game. (which didn't happen until Part 2)

Both Jimin and Hobi seemed a little apprehensive about 369. The game is a very simple drinking game. Jimin tried to spice it up by suggesting a new number combo:

That didn't work? Jimin tried suggesting a whole different game next

Jk outright rejected mafia game and Jin subsequently also didn't accept the suggestion.

Then, recall how Jin ignored Jimin earlier when he suggested new numbers instead of the original 369? Whole nother attitude when Jk spoke.

No to 248, no to 0248, it has to be 2489.

No reason, it's cause it's his birthday. And his wish is his wish, you know?

Bonus:

Jin's faith in Jk and himself only

When a fan asked Jin about BTS' survivability in the jungle and he ranked Jk first and himself second, then cancelled the rest.

Q: Rank the members' jungle survival skills

｡‧General dating headcanons ༻༉

Alastor x Gn! Reader

༉‧.tw - Ep 5 Spoilers, slight nsfw, mentions of cannibalism.

༉‧.words - 0.7k

༉‧.a/n - Just general dating headcanons for my boy </3 I apologize for any mistakes English is not my first language

Alastor is such a gentleman. He'd treat you like royalty!!

At first you gained his respect for respecting his boundaries and not stepping over the line and in return he respects yours (not really). Somehow you ended up dating?? So lucky you.

He adores cooking for everyone but when he'd cook for you Alastor be extra careful to not fuck things up and add extra flavours. Loves making Jambalaya for you!! Would definitely tell you all the stories about him and his mom cooking together.

I bet he'd love to cook or bake with you. I mean just look at you smiling and giggling like a child!! Adorable (in a good way)

Would try atleast one time to make you try demon meat. If you like it he's very pleased but if not?? He's fine with it too. Not everyone likes the taste of it.

Your relationship would be private so PDA is off the table. Maybe linking your arms together, a hand on the waist or a quick kiss on the cheek when no one is looking. It doesn't mean that he doesn't love you but he has a high status in hell. He wouldn't want you to be a target for other overlords or sinners.

At first only Rosie would know about your relationship but as time passed by Charlie found out and passed the information to Vaggie then Vagatha accidentally fucked up and passed the information to Angel Dust and again and again. Mimzy somehow found out too.

And as a little revenge for Alastor from kicking her out of the hotel (ep 5) she passed the info to other overlords.

So now sinners are aware of you guys being together and The Radio Demon is not very pleased with it. He started to get a tiny bit more protective of you then he was before. However when someone saw you it leaded to them running off, scattering because they're absolutely terrified of what could happen to them if they did anything and I mean anything wrong in your presence.

They looked at you wrong.. Oops where did their eyes went? They touched you without your permission. Suddenly their arms are nowhere to be found! They tried to hit on you and now they are missing. I wonder where they could be??

As i said he is a gentleman!! Opening doors for you, lending you his coat when you're cold, pulling out the chair and kissing the back of your hand.

Every Wednesday he'd bring you a bouquet and each one of the flowers he'd choose has its meaning. Isn't it cute??

His love language is Acts of service and quality time. Alastor loves when you bring him black coffee or something to eat when he is broadcasting someone's screams on the radio when he didn't even ask you for it. Like what do you mean you remember his daily hours of his "work".

Takes you out on dates without an accasion though he prefers to keep it private then to go to a club. He may take you out on a walk in the garden full of red roses and a buetiful fountain however Alastor would also love to cook you your favourite meal and eat it for as an romantic dinner with youuuuu!!

I don't think that even in private he's a cuddler, he doesn't like psychical touch but doesn't mind it from people he is close with. Maybe if he is feeling a little extra today he'd let you hug him as a good morning. In return he'd kiss the back of your hand.

Not exactly much of a kisser either pheraps a quick peck on the cheek or on the forehead?? This doesn't include the times he's feeling extra romantic and dips you in a long passionate kiss. But he's not the time to do full make out session yk??

One day Alastor would tell you that he likes pineapples on pizza and if you're not a big fan of it (me neither) you would be like WHAAAAT.

Alastor loves seeing you in his clothes it's just looking cute on you and kinda turns him on

[creechurfoundincheckerboardvoid]

What’s your fave ep of the og and the new series?

DREAMS. the tv show was great dont get me wrong but the og series is a goddamn masterpiece and i will be beyond amazed if any piece of media EVER surpasses it. dreams is my favorite ever because i LOVE when stories do the thing where they Break the Medium and shift the visual style and it feels so inherently wrong. that shift to the red's office, the change in aspect ratio, GOODBYE PLAYING IN THE STAIRS SCENE, it is beautiful and it is art. the overt symbolism of the golden glitter curtain falling in checkerboard void, the machine just a little ways beyond it and roy within the fog, the so many different ways anyone can interpret that final minute because it could be anything and it is different to everyone. ooh hey i've got something to write soon about the color changed trio don't i!! i believe we may have some new context for that ending. anyway dreams is the most satisfying conclusion to any story in the entire world and i have very normal taste i have normal taste i have normal taste (what i repeat to myself in my head when the dentist asks my favorite tv show)

and in the new series!

TRANSPORTATION.

i've seen a lot of mixed feedback on this one, which i can't claim to understand!!! it is my favorite by far. perhaps improved by the fact i saw it around five in the morning after having been awake 26 hours and then slept for 3 hours after that (very good day i had) but jeez this one was a trip (pun very much intended!!). something special about this one is that the train didn't actually... do anything to them. at all. he just kinda showed up and then died. everything that went wrong the trio did to themselves. or, more accurately, red did to the trio. this episode was about them. no one else. hell there's even the joke with the time child and tony. they're not here. they've left and they've never tried to do that before.

this episode also happens to house The Only Part that made me cry lmao (although admittedly it was more in that fridge-horror way where it only hits you later). when red yelled "i'm not going back to that house." yeah that destroyed me i think. that whole part though, from the dead bird to the glitch, with the increasingly mounting tension starting from the repetitive beeping of the fuel meter to the train waking up to yellow and duck not understanding what's going on to red very outwardly becoming increasingly desperate because he doesn't want to go back and it just builds until it snaps and the last time dhmis managed to do that was in that most beloved "stranger's plate" sequence, wasn't it? yeah <3

transportation also has the very best Duck Autism Moments (everything with the clipboard). that petty little "i have my own system, don't get involved." and then how it comes back at the very end... its the last shred of normalcy he's able to create for himself. and for the others. there's a sort of comfort in some things never changing.

━ submissives and overstimulation

CHARACTERS: bakugou katsuki, todoroki shouto, midoriya izuku, and kirishima eijirou

GENRE: smut

TAGS: overstimulation (male receiving), slight bdsm, oral, penetration, pegging, submissive males 

AUTHOR’S NOTE: my first bnha fic please-! i missed bnha so i rewatched a couple of eps of s4 and i got an idea-- a sinful one anyway-

━ bakugou ♡

surprisingly submissive. you both know he can throw you off him if he wants to but bakugou lives for the dominance that oozes out of you. 

a kinky piece of shit 

in the moment, he has absolutely no filter and is a fucking brat about it, hips jerking and moans loud as fuck that after you two finish, his voice is all scratchy and raw. 

but when you two are finished, he will get all embarrassed and angry if you comment about it like he wasn’t the one humping you like a dog. 

overstimulating katsuki is always so fun! 

bakugou growls whenever you two do something sexual but after a bit, it slowly turns into broken whimpers and you take pride on that.

his voice is just so fucking heavenly, his dick heavy in your mouth, and he taste absolutely delicious. 

one of the reasons you love giving him head is his cum. his cum just taste so amazing. there’s a hint of sweetness to it that gets you hooked and keeps you wanting more. 

so when it’s the 3rd time he came in your mouth, his voice is all raspy and raw and his body jerking nonstop but did you stop? nope. 

he’s too fun to tease to stop~ 

“f-fuck, (y/n)! don’t... s-stop--!” bakugou gasping through his 3rd orgasm for the night, body all sweaty and sensitive, as he felt you swirling your tongue around his dick’s sensitive head. 

you let of his cock for a moment, a lewd pop echoing in the room along with bakugou’s heavy pants. you smirked up at him, your hand encasing around his spent cock and rubbed him softly. it gained you a broken groan and a full on shudder, hips not knowing whether to lean away from your touch or thrust into your hand. 

“do you really want to stop, katsuki?” you asked, taking the reddening head of his dick into your mouth and licking around it gently but even that was too much for bakugou

“j-just-- let me breathe a second... geez, woman--” he groaned out and sighed in relief when he felt you stop though you didn’t remove him from your mouth. bakugou closed his eyes, breathing heavily and trying to calm his rapid heart. but then he felt a harsh suck making his eyes snap open in surprise and sensitivity and looked down at you with wide blown red eyes. 

“s-shit” his eyes rolled back to his head when you started taking more of him, your pace getting faster with each moment.

guess he just has to cum again, not that he’s really complaining. 

━ todoroki ♡

todoroki is a brat. thank you for coming to my tedtalk. but seriously though, he really is. he likes getting on your nerves and testing you and your patience as he tries out different things to get you to punish him. oomf--

he likes seeing you angry and getting punishments. his favorite is over-stimulation and orgasm denial, either is fine but over-stimulation has a special place in his heart~ 

he is a masochist. periodt. 

you don’t really like hurting him or call him degrading names cus you just wanna love him and kiss every inch of his body but shouto has different plans from you. 

and as time pass, you kinda got used to it but never really full on be dominant and sadistic on him.

so when you snapped one day, it lowkey scared him but damn, the punishment was amazing. 100000/10 todoroki will repeat again.

ngl though, shouto loves your aftercare more than any kinky shit you two tried. even if his masochistic side just wants you to leave him aching and covered with cum and sweat as he feels so worthless like a used sex doll, your aftercare was everything. 

it grew on you too, seeing him all bruised up and messy with cum and all sort of fluids raised a sick obsession in you. 

just imagining the big powerful pro-hero tied up in your bed and letting you do anything to him was making you horny. 

bratty masochist! todoroki is one hell of a ride. literally. 

ragged breaths escaped you as you stared down at the male beneath you. todoroki moaning at the pleasure, his hips trying to match yours but it was a little difficult with all the restrains you have on him. the burning ache on his wrists and arms being tied to the bedpost for who knows how long as the build up for his 4th orgasm made him dizzy. 

you bounced on his lap, feeling his large cock twitching inside you as it threatened to fill you up once again with his thick cum. over the haze of pleasure, you continued to watch your boyfriend get lost in the pleasure with his mouth open as a thin line of spit trailed down to his chin. 

growling when you felt him cum again as you ride him through his 4th orgasm, letting your hands fall down to his bruised chest and scratched him, leaving angry red lines on his marked up torso. 

todoroki groaned at the pain, hips frantically thrusting up to you and letting the overwhelming pleasure flood his entire body. broken moans and curses escaped the man when your thrust didn’t faltered even after his orgasm. 

“if you think we’re finish here then you’re absolutely wrong, you fucking whore. we’re only gonna stop if you make me cum, got that. you’re nothing more than a useless fuck toy.” you spat out, gripping his chin to make him look at you. todoroki’s half-lidded and fucked out eyes stared at you, letting out moans in between words. 

“yes-... u-use me more, m-mistress--” 

━ midoriya ♡

this boy is one whiny mofo-- goodluck 

midoriya may seem innocent but do not be fooled, he’s a sinful one. he may act all cute and stuff like that but when you two are alone, he will jump your bones like it’s no one’s business. 

he completely trusts you so you two try all sorts of kinks even if the other is unsure. it’s not gonna hurt to try. 

one kink he never knew he’ll have is pegging and you’re damn good at it. midoriya just can’t believe how well you just swirl your hips around making the dildo hit every spot in his walls that makes him see stars.

he’s really not afraid to be vocal and try all sort of things so sex is verryyy interesting. 

everytime you fuck midoriya into oblivion with a strap on, expect him to cum multiple times until he can’t anymore. he’s super sensitive too so yeah. 

midoriya cries when he’s sensitive but goddamn he looks so pretty like that. 

tears spilling down his freckled cheeks, his lips swollen, and his muscles contracting from the immense pleasure you keep giving him. 

he’s a greedy man though, even if he came multiple times he still gets soooo needy. loving the pain over-stimulation comes with. 

you love seeing the number one hero putty in your hands~ 

sounds of skin slapping and midoriya’s loud moans filled the room, your tiring hips started to get slower making the man beneath you whine at the decreasing pleasure. you clicked your tongue at that, stopping completely and leaned closer to midoriya, your chest pressed against his strong back while he heave heavy breaths. 

“s-sweets.. please m-move” he whined, grinding his ass to your strap-on and arched his back as he tried to get you to continue while he leaned against the pillow next to his head. his cock hanging between his thick thighs, cum spilling down his skin and to the blankets beneath him. he was still hard like he just didn’t cum 3 times already. 

you bit the broken skin on his neck as midoriya moaned at your sharp teeth sinking into his skin and arched his back even more, grasping the blankets. 

“good boys should take what they are given. no asking for more or less.” you said, hands moving to his chest as you thumb his nipples making him jerk his hips back and a hoarse moan escaping him. 

you started to move your hips again while one of your hands went to his thick cock, pumping him with the same pace as your thrusts, and midoriya’s eyes rolled back to his head, loud broken moans escaping him. 

you leaned away and pushed his head against the pillows, muffling his screams as you quicken your thrust. the strap-on hitting his prostate head on. 

“let’s see how many times you can cum before you pass out, izu~” 

━ kirishima ♡

red riot is a switch but leaning more into the dom side but this sweet boy loves getting praises and lives to please you. he will do everything in his power to make you satisfied and know that you are contented.

even when subbing, there’s still a hint of dominance to him. but! if you overstimulate him, his mind just melts and all thoughts and rationality flies out the window. 

his reactions are also so fucking yummy~ teeth gritting together, sharp inhales, eyebrows furrowed in concentration and pleasure, eyes rolling to the back of his head, and hands gripping the covers of your bed as his quirk threatening to activate and just tear through the cloth.

i said it once and i’ll say it again, kirishima lives for praises. 

so please praise him. 

he’s also soooo sensitive. because when he was a teenage, he barely touched himself with how hectic UA was but when he finally had time and you came along, his libido just skyrocketed! 

at first, he cums way to early but do not fret, kiri will never never leave you unsatisfied. 

his oral techniques are top tier. you can’t change my mind. 

kirishima also is pretty quiet with just loud grunts and groans but when he already came multiple times, he really goes feral. 

he keeps on chasing the pleasure even though it probably hurts with all the sensitivity he’s feeling. 

his moans are broken and it only gets louder at that point. 

“baby girl, ahh- fuck--! you feel so good-” kirishima groans out, mouth open and showing those sharp teeth of his that you oddly had some weird fixation with. you looked at his lips, it was red and tender, as his teeth peaked out. you rolled your hips when you heard his small whine as your hand went to his mouth. shoving two fingers in his mouth, playing with his tongue that eagerly met your fingers. 

feeling his cock twitch inside you, you smirked down at the fucked out expression the man was giving you. you pressed down to his throat making him gag but his thrust never faltered and only quicken at your action.

“you look so fucking amazing, eijirou~” 

at your praise, his hips jerked and a loud moan followed it, a bit muffled by your fingers. riding him, you moaned at the pleasure he gave you as kirishima’s thick cock nudged your g-spot. 

the red-haired male groaned loudly around your fingers when he felt you clench around him, your velvety walls tight and warm as you rip an unexpected orgasm from him. 

hips jerking wildly when he suddenly came, pleasure coursing through his veins. a pathetic whimper escaping him when you continued to ride him. the sensitivity brought tears to his eyes but he didn’t stop you, body jerking when pain and pleasure hit him. 

“i wanna see you cum again, ei~”

Fandom hypocrisy or Sylvie-Mobius parallels 

I’m generally very “ship and let ship” kind of person and don’t really care that much about what people ship, but I do find antis who insist Sylvie is abusive, toxic, horrible person ridiculously weird, especially when this is coming from the same people who insist Mobius is totally innocent, pure and like, the best person in existence.

because ultimately, Sylvie and Mobius and their respective relationships with Loki actually kinda parallel one another a lot to the point I strongly believe it was intentional.

1.  Both characters, Sylvie and Mobius met Loki by accident. Mobius didn't plan on meeting Loki, Sylvie didn't plan on meeting Loki

2. Both characters were on opposing sides when they first met and started off on the wrong foot, but ultimately were forced to work together

3. Both characters bonded with Loki after that first hiccup and developed a tentative trust with him

4.   Also, both characters were equally annoyed by Loki and his antics at first but were also willing to listen to his ideas/plans and went along with it

5. In both examples, after bonding with them, Loki did something that the other considered a betrayal

6. Both times after his 'betrayal' he tried to explain and be honest with them, only meaning well, but both characters were too heated up and distrustful to believe him 

7. Both characters pointed out that they aren't on the same page anymore, despite everything they went through

8. Both times Loki was equally hurt when he realized that the people he was close to didn't trust him in this pivotal moment

9. Both characters, refusing to trust him in that moment or just wanting to finish what they started sent him away through a door, their actions hurting him in some way (in one case also physical)

Mobius afterwards, just like Sylvie, figured out on his own that Loki was actually right, discovered the truth and went to get him from that cell and make things right with him. And Loki immediately forgave him, because he's a different Loki, more evolved and doesn't hold grudges.

(this is extra hilarious because there are legit people who think Loki will never forgive Sylvie or even go as far as try to kiII her in s2 lol. If he forgave immediately forgave Mobius, Loki will have no issues with forgiving Sylvie especially since he kept telling her he understands her pain and everything)

Sylvie unfortunately didn't have this chance yet because the season ended immediately after she stabbed HWR. All we know is that she's aware she messed up, and regrets everything. You can't say "yeah Mobius pushed him away but he came back for him, Sylvie didn't" because the season literally ended right then. 

That's almost comparable to, as if season ended after Mobius sent Loki off to Sif and he meanwhile figured out he's a variant. 

But the parallel is exactly the same.

"But Sylvie tricked him!" 

No she didn't? It has been confirmed that the kiss was genuine. She grabbed the Tempad to get him out of the way so she could finish what she came here to do, but the feelings were real. It was obvious in the show and then aso stated countless times by the creators and actors. But speaking of tricking. Who tricked Loki to get something out of him just 2 eps ago hm?

Mobius tricked Loki into thinking Sylvie was dead, to get the reaction and info out of him that he wanted, riled him up until he snapped. That's not really such a nice move on Mobius' end either.  He played with Loki’s feelings by tricking him into thinking Sylvie’s dead even though he figured out Loki holds affection for Sylvie and his actions would only cause him pain.

"But Sylvie was rude to Loki because she kept telling him to shut up!" 

Sylvie tells Loki to shut up twice. When they first meet and he’s annoying her with asking countless questions about her and the moment before they enter the Citadel.

Besides, Mobius does the exact same thing but you never see antis or shippers claim he’s rude towards Loki for telling him to shup up. 

In both cases the situation was exactly the same. In one occurrence, Loki’s talkative mood annoyed both Mobius and Sylvie who tried to stay focused on the mission (Sylvie trying to get to the TVA, Mobius trying to find Sylvie), and in the second, both characters were being emotionally overwhelmed/put in a stressful situation in that moment, but only one of them gets constantly villainized for 'belittling and being rude to Loki'. Guess who.

This isn't me campaigning that either of them should be demonized for telling Loki to be quiet. As someone who suffers from anxiety/panic attacks and I'm regularly on the brink of freaking out I can sympathize with both Mobius and Sylvie in these situations

Mobius was freaking out because of what just happened. Sylvie was freaking out because of what was about to happen. It's understandable. But calling Sylvie horrid names because she told Loki to shut up is disgusting

"But Sylvie called him names!" 

Sylvie called Loki an idiot, asshoIe and a clown when he stranded them on a dying planet with no way out, basically sentencing them both to die. Telling someone they’re an idiot when they pretty much kiII you isn’t being abusive. I called my sibling an idiot when she threw a remote controller at me and broke my tooth. Am I toxic too?

Mobius also called him a "pussycat, ice runt, scared little boy, asshoIe, bad friend" not to mention the whole "narcissist" speech in ep.4 Even Loki said in ep.2 that some of the things he called him were "too patronizing" and "too far"

Loki called Mobius an idiot. Is he toxic and abusive too? Or is that exclusively only saved for Sylvie?

"But Sylvie fought Loki!" 

Do you truly expect Mobius to fight Loki when he wasn't even able to fight Ravonna?  Besides, both times Loki when was his prisoner he had a collar on. He tried to attack him twice and Mobius simply used that device on him, rendering him powerless. There was no fight or force needed, Loki was completely at his mercy.

Besides I don't think he actually had to physically fight him to hurt him. The way he riled him up about his part in Frigga's death, lying to him about Sylvie and how she's dead and sending him to a bad memory loop where Loki got both physically and emotionally hurt was enough.

Mobius knew full well what would happen to Loki there (and that happened after they already grew closer and developed a friendship) and he still sent him there not once, but twice. 

Though, let’s be real, given that Loki admitted he's scared of being alone, Sif's words hurt him more than her punches.

Loki tried to warn Mobius, be honest with him, but he absolutely refused to even entertain the idea.

just saying, but if Sylvie was smiling right before sending Loki somewhere where he’d get emotionally and physically hurt some of you would tear her apart.

"But Sylvie tried to kill Loki when they met!" 

And Loki threatened to kill her. And Loki threatened to kill Mobius. And even Mobius said or implied a few times that Loki's life is on the line so he better be cooperative

So tell me again, why is only Sylvie getting hated on?

"But Sylvie killed TVA agents even though they were variants!"

So did Loki in episode 4 during the final fight? 

And for those who love to say she’s horrible because she knew they were variants who had their memories wiped - nowhere in the show it was stated that she knew they didn’t know they were variants and that they didn’t willingly join the TVA. In fact it was strongly implied it was the exact opposite.

Also, even Mobius admits in ep.4 he did awful things, helped to kiIl people by erasing them from existence simply bc he followed the belief of a fascist organization. He wasn’t mind controlled or forced into doing that, his memory was simply wiped, he was still aware of exactly what he was doing. Even Kate says in an interview Mobius and the TVA have a lot of red in their ledger.

"But Mobius cared about Loki, Sylvie never did."

I guess we haven't watched the same show then. Just because there's a character who isn't showering another character with hugs all the damn time doesn't mean the character doesn't care about them

but just to list a few:

 - She noticed Loki was upset and asked him if he's alright 

- finding Loki was her priority, followed by finding the man behind the curtain 

- she pruned herself to find Loki, risking her life not knowing whether Ravonna’s lying or not, especially since Ravonna just betrayed her tentative trust.

- she said out loud just before pruning herself that she’s thinking about the only one happy memory she had and later admitted to Mobius she was thinking of Loki when she pruned herself, which means Loki is her only happy memory

- she tried to send Loki away in ep.5  just before they went to fight Alioth because she didn’t know if her plan was even going to work and she didn’t want Loki to get hurt. Loki, of course, refused to leave her alone

- she was terrified when he offered himself to distract Alioth so she could work her magic, and begged him not to do that. She didn’t want him to risk his life or get hurt.

- she didn't want to hurt him during the final fight (directly or indirectly) and didn’t want Loki to get hurt in case something went wrong because she genuinely cares about him a lot. She kissed him to express her feelings for him  and sent him away to the TVA, thinking she's sending him to a safe place where his friends are, out of harm's way so she could finish what she started, but unfortunately she didn’t know she was sending him to the wrong one - I’m literally not making any of this up, it’s exactly what the creators and actors have been saying.

“Sylvie just used Loki to get through Alioth/to HWR”

No, she didn’t. She wanted him away from that place because she didn’t know if her plan was gonna work and she wanted him to be safe.

In fact, she never used him at all. Never asked him for his help.

But you know who did use Loki, at least at first? 

Mobius. 

The entire plot was that he used him, recruited him to hunt down Sylvie. That's literally spelled out in the show. 

and then in episode 4, he literally says he doesn't need him anymore. So...

point is, I'm so sick and tired of people constantly demonizing Sylvie for her actions, her treatment of others, specifically Loki, calling her toxic, abusive and in the same breath praising the ground Mobius walks on, because when you really look at it, their characters and their actions, their relationships with Loki parallel each other a lot. 

They met as enemies, they formed a tentative trust, argued, annoyed each other, grew closer, bonded, Loki did something and the other viewed his action as betrayal, the other didn't trust Loki when he only meant well and was telling the truth, refused to listen to him, sent him through timedoor and Loki got hurt and then afterwards they realized the truth. 

The only difference here is that the season ended before Sylvie could apologise to Loki or see him again, but everything else is pretty much the same

Both Sylvie and Mobius did mistakes. Actions of both hurt Loki. 

Hey, and if I wanted to be especially mean, I could even say at least Sylvie didn't accuse Loki of killing his mother, manipuated and lied to him about Mobius being killed or intentionally sent him somewhere where he would spend who knows how much time getting punched and kicked and reminded of how alone he is and how he doesn't deserve anything else.

So if you call Sylvie abusive and toxic, call their relationship bad, but praise Mobius and their relationship in same breath, then I may suggest to actually rethink the entire thing, bc if one person and one relationship is bad, then so is the other.

I saw someone say that Sylvie parallels Ravonna, but no. She parallels Mobius. Quite a lot tbh

The last time I pointed out these parallels to someone on ig, who praised Mobius (and their rs) but trashed Sylvie, their response was "stop commenting, you're making me feel bad for enjoying my ship" like, no, I don't mean to make anyone feel bad for liking a certain character or ship, I'm just tired of hypocrisy. Ship whatever you want to, prefer whichever character or ship you want to, but don't be a hypocrite pls. that's all I'm asking.

Loki, Sylvie, Mobius are all flawed characters who did numerous mistakes. None of these characters is a hero. They are flawed, they did mistakes but that’s what makes them so real and human and likable.

Sylvie isn’t a “constantly angry cow who is always rude to Loki and doesn’t care about him” and Mobius isn’t “innocent, pure bean who never did anything wrong in his life and always trusted Loki and supported him.”

Sylvie and Mobius parallel each other a lot, their relationships with Loki parallel each other a lot.

The only difference here is that one relationship was always intended to be romantic and one was always intended to be just platonic (and before anyone tries to argue with me - Kate, Michael and Tom agreed that the rs between Loki and Mobius is paternal/avuncular/mentorish)

This isn’t me shitting on Mobius or his friendship with Loki. I like them, I do, but I can admit that Mobius did mistakes and that’s great. That’s awesome, I love morally grey characters, or characters who did wrong things but then had a wonderful character development and grew from that.

Saying that Mobius never wronged Loki is basically erasing his entire character and arc. Let’s not do that.

My thoughts on Motherland Fort Salem: Ep. 6: "My 3 Dads"

- whew... this is gonna be a long one, this episode had SO MUCH going on

- I thought cape lady was Scylla for a second ngl

- this is like... way too much spree. Like- WAY too much

- the "bleed for freedom" speech is pretty poignant tho. Like, they're not wrong and that's what makes the Spree so scary to me

- I can see why witches would give their lives to the Spree with how the world is going for them and that's why they're so powerful

- tally is seeing through Alder's lies! My cinnamon roll will bring waste upon the U.S military herself and I'm SO here for it!

- so they hate Alder in the Cession? That brought me so any questions

- If the Cession is mostly native American is there some historical beef between alder and the first nations?

- when alder gave them the cession in exchange for biddyship like eliot said was it done as peacefully as alder implied? We know she could definitely cover up smth like this

- did she do something shady to get the biddies?

- They need Charvel's blood? How long has she been dead at this point? Does she even still have blood? I'm so confused

- love abigail and adil being rebelious together tho. They're so hot. I'm a sucker for bi couples

- i also think it's nice to see adil be so cool and outspoken, he's definitely different nowadays

- abigail's dads are so cute but i do not trust them

- can they legit leave abigail alone? Like they won't stop for A SECOND to acknowledge she's still traumatized from being hunted and almost killed but they want her to honor her family by being a glorified incubator for the army? Fuck THAT

- this handfasting thing makes me so MAD, literally EWWW

- Shane killed tiffany's parents... honestly i'm glad Scylla killed that psycho

- he deserved to die and Scylla did Brianna a favor idc what anacostia says

- he was definitely gonna groom his daughter into the Camarilla she's better off away from this mess

- hopefully bonnie and her get to have a normal life now

- I also fully support Tiffany going with the Dodgers

- they're truly the only pacifists out of this whole show

- and like Scylla said, if she goes there, she has a chance to actually choose for herself what she wants to do

- if she went with the military she'd be like, instantly conscripted, and she deserves to choose if she wants that

- #justicefortiffany

- so Raelle is only going to find out Willa is alive when she sees the bitch, huh? Okay. Okay, yeah. I'm fine...

- not really I'm dying inside this meeting is gonna be SO UGLY

- like if she found out first she'd have sometime to think about it, now she's just going to have to deal with it on the spot and that is NOT going to help

- the conflicting feelings are going to be delicious though, she's going to feel happy and relieved that her mom is alive but also probably be so hurt and angry that she left them to mourn her all this time I'm so nervous for all this

- beanie!Tally has my whole entire heart

- I don't like Anacostia being back with Alder but I guess she wasn't ready for all this shit

- scylla is way more of a little shit than she predicted

- I already love Gwen. I was hoping we'd get to meet Willa's unit at some point, wonder what happened to the third one

- cool to see her use the same off-canon work as Raelle tho, still curious to know where that came from

- love adil literally not caring about Abigail's family's dumb traditions

- also I hate her dads now

- like calling witches MARES??? What is wrong with these people?? Do they not see how wrong this is? 🤢🤢

- they literally KNOW they're treating Abigail like a freaking animal to be bred

- this is so disgusting I stg and so very reminiscent of how women were treated back in the day, like baby incubators

- did- did this show jus imply Abigail was made in an orgy...

- kinda liked seeing willa be so nice to tiffany, you can definitely see she has a lot of maternal traits abt her

- it MUST eat Scylla alive a bit that Tiffany lost her parents just like she lost hers

- the Camarilla keeping kids in animal cages and feeding them dog food is literally so vile. Eliot didn't have to go THERE, but he did and it makes this all so much scarier

- it's like willa said tho, they're doing this bc they're literally so scared of witches they won't even go for grown up ones

- we saw how they ran like little bitches when the lights went off at the party

- they're all just cowards

- on another note. "Bedtime for tally" lol

- YESSS put it all together, TALLY!! My baby is gonna start a rebellion I can feel it!

- was not expecting Nicte to still be alive tho

- in my head the flashbacks were WAY older

- Petra is being such a bitch to Abigail I stg. She said she'd change in episode 1 and she's only getting worse

- was not expecting granny Minerva to side with Abigail on this but literally GO OFF, LITERAL QUEEN OF PERFECT MICROBRAIDS

- YA'LL RAELLE IS SINGING. RAELLE IS SINGING STFU THIS IS SO PERFECT.

- if we don't get Raelle serenading Scylla by the end of this show what's even the point

- AND eliot said she was thinking about Scylla aaaaaaaa

- she deserved those dad hugs, I'm so sad she still thinks her mom's dead tho

- watching tip: go back on the scene Alder is getting her throat burned and just watch the biddies roll around dramatically on the floor. You don't have to thank me. I was laughing hard at that

- I had a feeling Raelle was gonna get taken but STILL JESUS THAT SCENE

- it scared me so much and poor Tally tried to save her 😔

- ya'll get what THIS means right??

- Scylla and willa are gonna HAVE to go get her

- there's no way they won't

- I'm 100% not ready for next week but I want it sooo bad

[hithelleth]

What I've (Not) Watched Lately

I’ve meant to do another one of these for so long there’s quite a number of things I’ve watched or tried to watch. Under the cut because it will get long, but I need to get my feelings out, so I can move on.

I watched 3 episodes of La Brea and then gave up because by episode 3 I should care at least one character and I just didn’t. And plot-holes, lack-of-logic-wise it was worse than Revolution (and that says a LOT). How do people survive the fall and flashlights work but apparently no car does and all plane electronics go out?

I know I shouldn’t expect logic from TV shows, silly me. Anyway, it’s a shame because based on the premise this could have been the new Terra Nova (gah, I think I need a rewatch.) As if I don’t watch too many things already.

I tried Midnight Mass and quit after one episode after I asked a friend and checked doesthedogdie, because ep ending was a very nasty surprise and apparently that continues throughout the show and nope, dead cats and lots of blood & gore to follow etc. are not for me and that’s fine.

I watched two episodes of Moon Knight, but like with La Brea, just didn’t care about the characters (even though Osccar Issac is hot). The plot was at least better but not enough – and I wasn’t in the right space for the moral dilemmas (as in everyone being wrong in some way) it presented. I might give it another go some time, though.

I finally quit New Amsterdam after 4x8, because it got boring and I can’t stand Max (and Max and Helen – and to think I really shipped them in the beginning but the put it off at least a season too long and meh) and I hated the about re: hospital policy, because we can’t make non-capitalist ways work, can we?

I half watched No Time to Die. It was the worst of the Daniel Craig’s Bond movies, IMO. Madeline came out of nowhere and hence, again, I just didn’t care that much about her and everything. IDK how they couldn’t have better established the supposedly core motivation of the movie better in 2 and half hours, FFS. A minute or two less shooting would do the trick, I think.

I also watched Un peuple et son roi, because it was on national TV and it had been on my list. European production is always a nice change of tone and it was okay, but nothing special.

Now, on to more engaging things.

Speaking of European production, I watched Heartstopper and it was fluffy, light, and adorable, and I am looking forward to S2.

I’ve also watched a ton of currently airing shows (now ended/ending for the season.)

The Rookie was a pleasant time-killer, as always.

I need to quit 911 Lone Star. The only good thing I remember from this season was that short Tommy/Julius venture. So, yeah.

I only watched episode 1 of S7 of LoT and IDK if I’ll watch it through the end. Maybe just the ep(s) where Wentworth Miller was back? Otherwise I lost interest and it also got cancelled. So, depends on my mood/state of boredom.

I continued watching CPD, mainly for Tracy, of course, and it also was a nice way to kill time.

I also started Chicago Fire mid-season purely due to Brett Dalton guest-starring, but then got attached to a few other people (mostly Violet) and kept watching. And I was so satisfied with Brett’s character’s arc. It was a healing experience, nevermind the different show and all. I was happy.

I also continued watching Law and Order: SVU & Organized Crime (which I got into at the end of last summer) and these, too, are excellent time-killers. Although, for such an old show – and the same goes for the Chicago franchise – and big fandoms, the said fandoms are surely conservative AF. I guess if I want any content for random unconventional rare ships that pop into my mind, I’ll have to make it myself. If only I had the time & energy. Oh well, I guess it’ll just stay in my head.

The height of my weekly watching was the FBI franchise, as you may have noticed, in particularly the spin-offs, in particularly, the FBI: Most Wanted spin-off. I actually meta-d about those sporadically as I went along.

So in short, FBI is more or less boring and I hate them going back and forth with propping OA up for positive ‘representation’ just to then make him bow down to the ‘way the job is done’, ugh. But Shantel van Santen did bring a bit of fresh air to the show at the end of the season.

FBI: International is what it is and I wrote about it before, but I was satisfied with the season ending (I only caught up today) re: Scott’s mum and as I said before, I am invested in these characters, so I’ll keep watching.

The new boss on FBI: Most Wanted also brought in a lot of fresh-air and as you’ve probably noticed I also got invested to the point of starting giffing again (some of which I still have to do, but see: time and & energy).

Although I’ve just learned Ivan’s leaving the show, WTF. Going like that, this show will be worse than LoT; only two original characters remaining already in S4.

But, again, I’m invested in the rest of them – I also really like Kristin and Hana and Barnes – so I’ll tune in for the next season.

Oh, yeah, I’ve also been watching Stalker, because of reasons. I still have 4 episodes left, but It’s very good, too bad there was just one season.

Phew. I think that’s all. I watched a few other things I believe I talked about in separate posts already.
