Drunj!Der Yells About Outlander

Thoughts on Ep. 508

I mean, shame on me for allowing myself to get my hopes up that the show might have turned a corner last week. I should know better by now.

At least Young Ian’s back. And Marsali had a nice moment. And that’s about all I have to say about this episode that’s positive. I swear to fuck, this show hates Claire as much as the author of the books does. Where the fuck is the lead protagonist, show? Can she come back? Can she get a story line of her own that’s more than just a random scene every few episodes, please? And can Bree please be given something to fucking do that doesn’t involve Roger, Jemmy or rape? Does Fergus still even live on the Ridge?

But yeah, I guess let’s just all watch the episode twice so our dumb lady!brains can understand that Matt’s stupid silent movie gimmick was actually ~ArT~ and not, you know, a stupidly bad creative choice. Seriously, fuck that guy.

I can’t tell you how much idgaf about watching Roger teach. Also, Bree’s like his students’ age since she was in college too. So really all this bit is doing is to make me skeeved out about their age difference.

“Can you tell me why anyone would go to the trouble of burying one?” he said, condescendingly, like the doucherocket he is. Do not disrespect Young Ian like that, asshat.

“People live and die by their words.” *gestures to the beautiful shitposts on this hellsite* sure jan dot gif.

I already want to fastforward.

Would 100% rather sit through a lecture on suspension bridges than watch silent movies, tbh.

Hate the title card. Hate this whole gimmick.

Hate.

HAAAAATE.

Roger got hanged. Roger was dumb, Buck was an abusive and toxic fuckwad. But still, Roger got hanged and this is how we find out he’s alive and how he was saved?

It should be this big emotional moment. It should make me feel a thing in spite of myself. But nope! Gotta do this fucking silent movie thing. Which is hilariously terrible. And I laughed at it the whole time. In a mean and judgey fashion. What a craptastic creative choice. Whoever’s idea that was is a fucking idiot. *stares at a certain pompous af showrunner*

Ok but for real though, does LJG just like live in North Carolina now? Why is he always around, besides, you know, so we don’t forget he’s a character who exists.

For real though, he lives in Virginia and gets more screen time than fucking Fergus and Marsali who live fucking next door.

At least writing this recap is gonnna be quick and easy since they waste so much time re-showing the stupid silent movie footage.

Yes, I know, they’re trying to show Roger’s PTSD. Which involves flashbacks. And gradually turn it to color once he’s like come to terms with what happened and starts to move forward. But the execution is so bad that the whole arc is wasted because it’s just so poorly done.

Oh hey! A Claire and Bree scene! I love those. Except oh wait, it aggressively fails the Bechdel Test.

I JUST WANT THE FUCKING WOMEN ON THIS SHOW TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO THAT’S COMPLETELY FUCKING SEPARATE FROM THE MEN. ARGH.

Jocasta singing at Murtz’s cairn is a reminder that everyone should check out MDK’s music.

And her wearing the necklace Murtz gave her makes the existence of show!Duncan even dumber. Like oh hey, new husband, don’t mind me, just mourning my dead boyfriend and wearing his jewelry. But it’s totally normal since my niece-in-law still wears her abusive ex-husband’s ring.

Sorry, show!Duncan, but a more pointless character was never included. Show!Duncan wins the prize for most BeCaUsE tHe BoOk dumbassery.

Repeatedly showing what’s basically a snuff film is...a choice.

LJG has no sense of personal space when it comes to the Frasers. And it’s fucking creepy.

Oh look, another scene where all Claire gets to do is comfort someone about a man.

*BANGS FIST ON TABLE* GIVE CLAIRE BEAUCHAMP THE STORY LINES SHE DESERVES.

Jemmy aged like 3 years in the 3 month time jump.

Ok, I totally get why Roger hadn’t spoken yet. But once he did, the seal was broken. Not talking after he yelled to stop Jemmy, even a little bit, is just a dick move. Not that he’d be magically better. But he like refuses to even take baby steps.

CAN WE PLEASE GET THROUGH AN EPISODE WITHOUT A MUSICAL INTERLUDE. I FUCKING HATE THE CLEMENTINE SONG.

GRANNIE CLAIRE AND GRANDA JAMIE ARE MY FAVE.

OMFG AN ARROW. THAT CLEARLY MEANS...YOUNG IANNNNN!!!!!

So glad he’s back. So fucking glad. Yes, it means one more character to dilute how much time we can spend with any given person, but it’s a character that I like so hopefully he takes away from some of the time given to ones I don’t like?

Aaand Roger can’t even bring himself to try to talk to the guy who gave himself up in his place. Fuck Roger.

Claire does a better job at first than Jamie at picking up the vibes Young Ian is putting off, but like, for two people who are supposed to be emotionally intelligence, neither of them do a good job at first of really *seeing* Ian.

John Bell is really good in this episode.

Omfg Marsali has tarot cards. She’s like leaning full on into being the white witch’s apprentice and I fucking love her so much.

Also, the Hanged Man card is representative of self-sacrifice and martyrdom rather than like being actually hanged as a punishment. But whatevs.

Ok I think the reason Jenny yelling at Jamie to snap out of it in S3 bugged me where this scene with Bree yelling at Roger doesn’t is because sibling dynamic is completely different than spouses where both of them have gone through something unimaginable.

That he can’t even say anything here. Or give her any kind of sign that he’s still in there is a dick move. He *can* speak. He knows that now. So does everyone else. He’s actively choosing not to. Even to say that he just needs more time to work through his shit. No one’s asking him to be a chatterbox and totally back to normal.

Young Ian just sitting there while everyone else does grace is literally me at every family holiday.

Oh look, a wild Fergus appeared!

Ok, I never got the surveying thing. Wouldn’t the land already be registered? Since they were given the paperwork and shit for it from the governor? I know there was some bit about it in the book about keeping it after the Revolution but like, who the fuck else are they registering it with that would make a difference? The gov’t is still the English gov’t?

“But there are things you keep hidden from others. You and Claire both.” Ok, can he please be talking about time travel? I mean, I know he’s talking about his wife and their miscarriages, but I just want someone else to know about time travel already please and thank you.

HOW THE FUCK IS MARSALI STILL PREGNANT?! SHE’S BEEN PREGNANT FOR LIKE A FUCKTON OF TIME.

Fuck yeah not-Catholic-anymore-Ian. No grace, talking about the creator in a way that isn’t explicitly the christian god. Good job, kid.

My parents called me to say happy easter and I had to be like, uh, you remember that I don’t celebrate that, right?

Happy Zombie!Jeebus Appreciation Day to all the still christian people. And happy chance to have fun with burner zoom accounts named Elijiah to the jewish folks.

Jokes aside, the scene with Young Ian and Marsali was really nice and Marsali remains a fucking saint. It’s nice that Young Ian has someone who like actually gets what it’s like to find a home in a group of strangers.

Oh Claire, think more highly of your assistant. Also, what a clunky fucking way to be like oh hey, one of the emo!bros is gonna try to off themselves.

Ok but with the paper airplane now too, can we please show Young Ian finding out about time travel? Please?

Ok, but Claire automatically jumping to Roger wanting to off himself with her herbs... It’s making me judge both of them a little that neither picked up on just how clearly Young Ian was suffering. Like come the fuck on, y’all. It wasn’t subtle.

Also, can we please have more Adso?

SOMEONE GIVE YOUNG IAN A HUG! NO, NOT YOU, ROGER! SOMEONE GOOD!

Yada yada yes they both have been through something shitty and call me a biased asshole, but I can’t bring myself to feel anything about Roger and I feel all the things about Young Ian.

So Roger won’t talk when his wife begs, but he’ll talk when someone calls him on his bullshit. Cool. Cool cool cool. Nice dude.

NO ONE WAS ASKING FOR THE OLD ROGER, YOU TWATWAFFLE. THEY WERE ASKING FOR *A* ROGER. INSTEAD OF A ZOMBIE.

Again, there’s more to that tarot card than a literal hanged man, but whatever, show.

Oh thank fuck the episode is finally over. Expectations are back down in the gutter for the rest of the season. Please pleasantly surprise me, show, but I will not make the mistake again of thinking you’re actually gonna be consistently good again.

[vera-invenire]

For the character ask meme (not surprisingly): Wei WuXian plz

For this meme!  

- FIRST IMPRESSION

Ahahaha, in the very first gifs I saw, Wei Wuxian’s stance vis a vis Lan Wangji made me think Wei Wuxian was the sidekick. (It was the shot at the Burial Mounds siege where WWX is playing the flute and LWJ steps in front of him to fight.)

- IMPRESSION NOW

aslkjakljsdl, I love him. I was gonna go into this whole spiel about his complexities as a character, how the darkness of the Yiling Patriarch was waiting under his skin from the very beginning even when he was a young thing, how Untamed!Wei Wuxian knows damn well he’s had a crush on Lan Zhan since they met and how, post-Burial Mounds, his actions/feelings aren’t obliviousness so much as deliberate downplaying and denial and, yes, I will die on this hill – but then this will turn into an essay and I’ll never finish this ask. So we’re gonna leave it at this:

ASLKFJSFJSDF, I LOVE HIM.

- FAVORITE MOMENT

When he walked into the tower and took the drink for Lan Wangji, staring Xerox Jin straight in the face. It sent so many messages (’idgaf about any of you’, ‘my patience with your posturing bullshit is zero’, ‘lan zhan is mine’, ‘try and stop me. go on, try it.’) and he meant every single one. Such a power move.

Also in the first ep – he’s running away from one of the Mo people like a clown but then he suddenly turns, snaps his fingers, and BAM the guy freezes in place, and suddenly you’re like, woah, okay, maybe don’t mess with the clown, wow.

- IDEA FOR A STORY

Post-resurrection, based off of things people have said Wei Wuxian falls under the impression that Lan Wangji is in love with someone (else). It’s been a long, long time, after all, so even if there were moments in the past when it maybe felt like there could be something between them – well. Clearly that’s not an option anymore. So all through the murder mystery he sits with that and yearns and maybe there’s a bit in there about how he was never really envious of others (’Wuxian’/without envy, get it), but he keeps fighting how much he wants him and he can never say it because Lan Wangji is in love with someone else. (someone who won’t love him back!! how. how.) And he’s not gonna make LWJ choose him over the love of his life, so he leaves for his adventure.

And then at some point there’s a scene of the Chief Cultivator riding in for an inter-sect night hunt and Wei Wuxian throws him a flower from the crowd because he thinks he’s being wistfully subtle, idk.

(he’s being dumb. lan wangji is gonna find out and he’s gonna be pissed at the gossip and then he’s gonna marry the hell outta him.)

- UNPOPULAR OPINION

I went into this a bit above, but –

I know in the novel Wei Wuxian is completely oblivious re: LWJ for approximately ever, but I honestly think Untamed!Wei Wuxian isn’t oblivious at all. He knows exactly what he feels, he just thinks he’s never going to get it / he doesn’t deserve it / he doesn’t need it anyway / doesn’t trust that he can have it. It’s the difference between blithely unconscious attraction and attraction that gets deflected because looking at it too hard is just going to break your heart. (But then post-resurrection LWJ has clearly decided to fuck being subtle and Wei Wuxian can’t handle that so all the walls start tumbling down.)

- FAVORITE RELATIONSHIP

Wangxian.

Also WWX mentoring all the juniors. (I reeeeaaaalllllly want to read something with the Gusu Lan juniors interacting with Yunmeng Jiang juniors. Maybe in a competition? Look, WWX used to be the head disciple of Yunmeng Jiang, there’s going to be tension there and I want to seeeeee it.)

- FAVORITE HEADCANON

Untamed-verse: Mo Xuanyu gave up his body for WWX, meaning WWX’s present body was remade using MXY’s bodily material. And since MXY had a functioning golden core, WWX now also has the potential for making a golden core but *he doesn’t know it yet*, because unlike in the novel where WWX just plopped into a body with an established core, THIS body is new and golden cores have to be reformed / trained / grown over time. He figures it out post-canon on the road and has very mixed emotions about it. He goes back to Gusu to tell Lan Wangji and to try sword training again.
