Oh question: what are your thoughts on Wonderful Pretty Cure...
i'm excited for it! i'm thinking i might try to follow along, although we'll see how that goes because i am notoriously bad at following along with the currently airing season (i usually drop around episode 3). i still marvel at the fact that i managed to stick with delicious party all the way through. but i think wonderful precure looks really interesting and i like that it looks like they're changing up the concept in a big way!
#precure#pretty cure#wonderful precure#asks#thesilliestofgals#i think the season has to hook me right away at the start because otherwise waiting a week for each episode gets to be too much of a chore#with already finished seasons i can just binge#say what you will about delipa but it did have a strong start and i think that's why i kept going#i think the best i've done (aside from delipa) was star twinkle where i think i got up to episode...15? before i fell behind

Well y’all after blood sweat and way too many tears, I’ve finally been moved into my new place 😭 🎉
It’ll be a bit before I can show pics of my comics displays, esp bc I’ll be sorting thru a lot of stuff & likely will rearrange it ten thousand times too
But on a nice note, my mom was rlly careful with my comics that I have framed and she actually sounded rlly excited to help me find good ways to display them and I’m 🥹🥹🥹
Hopefully will have some more framed eventually too, but ahhh one thing at a time
#randyvents#also gotta work on getting the wifi actually hooked up here too 😅#but once I am settled and have a reliable connection I’m gonna revamp the queue. restart the other blogs. and also :)#I’m gonna stream Arkham origins sometime this month to celebrate 🎉😂#we can either dick around finishing one of my prev saves or start from the beginning. I’ll set up a poll to let y’all decide 👍#but yea… lots of stuff will be coming up!!! stay tuned!!!#I normally do the blorbo - Spotify ask thing too but that’ll have to wait#just ahhhh so many thingsss 😭‼️

SEASON NINE FINALE WAS WILD. I HAVE MANY MANY THOUGHTS. WHAT JUST HAPPENED. A FUCKING ROLLER COASTER FOR SURE
#theo.txt#I DID NOT REALIZE DEMON DEAN WAS NOW#DESPITE KNOWING THAT YEAH HE LOOKS ABOUT THAT AGE OR WHATEVER IN THE SCREENCAPS IVE SEEN#WHEN I TELL YOU I CHEERED AT THE END WHEN I REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON!!!!! i love crowley pulling some bullshit at the last minute. classi#king of hell shit#and in the end scene where it's just mark sheppard's stellar monologue and the EYELID NOISE... chefs kiss that got me so hyped for s10#i do think this finale got me really interested to see what s10 brings generally#AND DOESNT ROWENA SHOW UP THIS SEASON?? WE LOVE TO SEE IT IM EXCITED#rip gadreel though he was an interesting character. sad he had to die just to prove a point and blow up a cell. but a fitting end ig?? :(#i also loved cas's plan at the end though with the angel radio thing. get his ass lol#but also god i felt so bad for him. can the narrative give him a fucking break. he is trying his god damn best#the curse of free will and the curse of loving. painful but you do it anyway. castiel when i get my hands on you#also if i am not mistaken... the shot parallels to sams first death with deans death... we cry#IS SAM JUST GONNA BE ALL ALONE NOW?? I ASSUME CROWLEY TAKES DEAN WITH HIM?#OH NO 😭😭😭 SAM BABY IM SO SORRY#not that he doesnt always have a rough time but he has a particularly excruciating season. someone give this man a hug#i feel for him very deeply#'i lied' 'ain't that a bitch?' got me. i hate them. SOOOO brothers.#anyway#AAAAAAAAUGH#also why was metatron the worlds number one destiel shipper at the end of the season here im DEAD. MULTIPLE pieces of dialogue hes like 'yo#did it all for HUMANITY... for your ONE HUMAN of CHOICE... the HUMAN who motivates you...' JUST CALL HIM A SLUR WHY DONT YOU#im dead#idk what the general community thoughts are on that episode but i did enjoy it. wild fucking ride from start to finish#s9 wasnt my favorite and definitely did not hook me in the second quarter for some reason. def was not as compelling as like s7 for me but#the points that i liked i really enjoyed#loved sam resorting to summoning crowley. he wants his ass dead SO bad. i think sam deserves the world after the shit he was put through#this season#anyway overall. i am gnawing on the walls and pacing around my room at incredible speeds. what is UP with this show.#man.

Okay, so this is like not my usual thing but I finally found a way to watch Heels with Stephen Amell and that show is amazing! Seriously, the best thing I've seen on TV in a long, long time!
If you haven't seen it yet you need to check it out. All Episodes are currently available for free on youtube (you need to change your vpn to US, though, at least all my fellow Europeans or non US people do).
Stephen's acting is off the charts and just shows what the man is capable of if he has an amazing script to work with... Arrow wasted his potential in the later seasons which is just sad. But he's got a great show now with people who seem to appreciate his skills and push him.
Again great show, great writing and great acting from everyone involved, I know nothing about Wrestling, I couldn't care less about it if I tried but that show got me hooked, those characters draw you in and you just want to know what will happen next.
Okay, I think I'm done now. Just, check it out, give the man some love for his amazing work. The show deserves to be recognized as the masterpiece it is.
#going off script here#stephen amell#heels starz#from arrow to heels#the arrow writers had so much potential to work with and they blew it#this is how you do drama#this show had me hooked from start to finish#best writing and acting i've seen in a long time#oliver queen#jack spade#show recommendations#i don't usually do this#that is what I call great tv#the relationships feel real and although there is drama it's not teenage drama that feels unreal because the characters are grown ass adults#a mistake so many shows make there can be adult drama there's no reason to make adults act like immature teenagers#wish the arrow writers had realized that the show would've been so much better#and yes I'm bitter about that still lol

I know I say this every time I read my own work, but Speak for the Dead really is the best chapter in ILM.
“Well, you know for the first time in a long time this actually feels like fall?”
Jane Romero was smiling at him, sitting propped up against a tree in what had sort of become her usual ‘therapy’ corner in the past almost two weeks. And she was right, it did feel like fall. The air wasn’t as sharply cold as normal, and honestly ‘sharply’ cold was a nice break in and of itself when it happened—usually the weather here was somehow just cold—cold with no adjectives attached. But today it was nicer. It was the kind of waiting fall cold that came when it wasn’t biting outside yet, and it was almost pleasant. A promise of a change in the seasons. Tapp wondered why.
The trees hadn’t started to change color with it, or fall in piles, and as far as he’d gathered there weren’t seasons in here. Everything looked the same. Tall, thick woods, undergrowth and moss and rocks and fallen logs, a slight breeze on and off. Dark sky overhead, full moon, at this point long since throwing off everyone’s idea of what day and night were supposed to mean. All the usual. Except, somehow, the kind of cold in the weather. Who knew, maybe nothing had changed. Maybe they had just started to feel better.
LIKE. Those opening lines mean nothing but environmental flavor when you read them. But they’re a lead in for the thesis of the entire chapter.
“Well, you know for the first time in a long time this actually feels like fall?” - A promise of a change in the seasons. - Who knew, maybe nothing had changed. Maybe they had just started to feel better.
Like that’s it. Speak for the Dead is about a lot of things, but at its heart it’s about healing. It’s about forgiveness and healing, that exists between the living and the dead. It’s about how you can only speak for them, by speaking for them. Not how you want to punish yourself or live for them, but by how you know they would forgive you, or would ask you to live. Very little other than exchanges of information happen, but so much happens at the same time. All of it significant. It’s hope. It’s about how Tapp (and Meg) have spent every day here fighting in their own way to cope with the agony and failure of their lives, and the loss of people they couldn’t save, and have only dug their wounds deeper. About love. About nothing stoping the lambs from screaming except accepting that they want to let you go.
#god I love this chapter so much. literally I can start reading ANY part of it and get hooked. Me every time I re-read the one time in my#life I hit script perfection for an entire chapter straight: 💕💕💕💕💕#in living memory#in living memory (fic)#Speak for the Dead#I’ll never write something that good again maybe and that’s ok. perfection is perfection god I love that chapter#there so much said and so much unsaid. the way he buries Mandy. Adam trying to help. the fact literally never after in the story /does/ Meg#find out that she almsot died in a Jigsaw trap because she was judged for cutting? never. not post fic either. Ace and Tapp silently both#decide to never tell and she /never/ has to know. the way Meg asks if Michael knew Tapp loved him more than the job and that question is#not answered. she just says ‘he loved you’ and accepts that as a more significant one. the whole Jane discussiom. the way Tapp says ‘yes’#/only/ to ‘did it haunt you?’ when asked serious questions and usually just says ‘I don’t know’ if it’s probably true? the way he talks#about himself? the Saw references??? the dead people’s actions existing like ghosts in the script helping charcaters on a meta textual level#bc I only wrote Tapp surviving with a pen tracheotomy bc Peter Strahm did it? the The Silence of the Lambs thing?#all the ethical discussions that are so conceptual and simultaneously concrete in different ways. even the ethics are the dead and the#living mixing together. the way Tapp’s argument the only thing you can do for the dead is to finish their story for them-to do what they’d#been trying to do—doesn’t change? just what that means to him does. the way the entirety of In Living Memory itself is Philip finishing#Vigo’s story because Vigo is dead? and ILM literally /is/ Vigo’s ghost in the void chronicling these events to watch over and to tell this#story about how Philip is a good man. in which he is fulfilling Philip’s goals for him when Philip no longer can. the entire book is about#love and loss and no chapter in as deep a way as Speak for the Dead captures that on such a literal level#the book is the living speaking for the dead. and the dead speaking for the living. & a hope from that. a promise of a change in the seasons#literally. when they make it in V.S. from the eternal october. to finally November.

in JCC we trust he's done some fantastic buddie episodes and then it's followed by freaking Andrew Meyers in eighteen. And some people are worried? Like why lol.
Ok listen, I know this is meant as a positive message, but this whole "this writer is known for good buddie episodes" is starting to veer dangerously close to classing them as "pro buddie" or "not pro buddie" based completely on subjective views people have of episodes. It's a writer's room. They all work on the season and brainstorm together. Their differences emerge more in how things are brought up on screen, not what.
#i saw a list flash by where someone had highlighted certain writers and directors as 'pro buddie' and i thought i was gonna have a stroke#when i say i like a writer i mean i like the previous episodes they've written; that includes the buddie of it all of course but it's not#the be all end all! Crafting a good episode that keeps you hooked from start to finish is a great talent!#ask frida#anon

guess who finally started only friends!!!! the way I have been liking posts about it since even before it aired but never actually had the guts to go watch it but the TIME WAS RIGHT yesterday and I watched it and why is it... so flipping good?
#i was scared at first cause everyone said it was jusf full of... a lot of physical intimacy but it is so much more than that#ive only just finished episode 3 but its so gripping because of how invested the actors are in their roles and embodying their characters#like RAY OH MY GOD MARRY ME??? nah jk khao is just 😘😍🥰#and ofc my bby first - he plays sand so well even if im not the biggest fan of the singing 😭 i love HIM too much to care#only friends the series#ive always been wary of top cause force is a liverpool fan and if ive learnt anything from my 18 years on this planet its dont trust them#immediately at least#some of my best friends are liverpool fans but this would be my first show of his and so far so... hmmmm#one major thing which put me off even starting was that i saw a clip saying boston and gap aka neo and drake hook up episode 1#and i CANNOT watch that after watching cause youre my boy like these are my babies but it was fine in the end because i just skipped it 🤣#ive come to realise i could literally not care less about sex so i just skip all those scenes because the show has more depth than that#anyways i will keep watching and hopefully catch up before next saturday!!!

You know that really weird story where John Milton would mentally write a few verses of Paradise Lost and then complain that he needed to be milked if his transcriber was late?
As strange as it is, I sort of get where he's coming from.
#It's like#I don't know that I would describe it so weirdly#But it's like this pressure that builds up in my head#Because I'm constantly writing 2 or 3 stories in my head at one time#Which are all separate from the fic I'm actually writing#So there's like moments where I sort of have to write#Because I have to get a story finished so I can start on the next one#Does that make sense?#So like I literally sat and edited the Carmen fic at work#Because I needed to write the follow up with moz and johnny in new york#So I can then write vampire Johnny#And then wrap up lesbian Johnny#And all in the background I have Johnny hooking up with a vampire omc called Billie#So it's like I'm constantly feeling a weird low level stress because it's like#I gotta get all this down. i have to finish this so I can finish this#Can you imagine I was an actual writer and didn't just write about two old men having sex#Wild
