IWTV S2 - Three spicy/spoilery reviews
The reviewers are just saying whatever they want, I guess! O_O
Here's my favorite bits from TheWrap, ComicBook, and IGN.
I've decided to mix and match them, comparing what they each say about similar themes/topics/reveals.
ELEVATING THE SOURCE MATERIAL
Tumblr media
TELL IT! It's about adding DEPTH, y'all, not just a 1:1 page-to-screen.
Tumblr media
Intellectual horror, instead of psychological horror--fascinating.
Tumblr media
An "even more authentic adaptation" -- WE BEEN KNEW!!! I roll my eyes at book stans who hate on the show, acting like the movie was more accurate just cuz it was set during slavery times with white actors. 🙄 Like PLEASE, there's so much missing from the movie, or glossed over, or straight up changed, that the show-antis just demonstrate how shallow they are when their every attack hinges on the timeline/race/age changes. Cry harder.
Tumblr media
MORE elevated than Season 1--you love to see it.
Tumblr media
Yaaas, bring on the petty melodramatic mess, and fierce performances! 👏
CLAUDIA & MADELEINE
Tumblr media
Because Bailey used profanity to convey her agony being a woman trapped in an adolescent's body in S1 too, I'm assuming Delainey will just cuss more? But cussing is all over the show, so I don't get it.
Tumblr media
Everyone keeps raving about Roxane as Madeleine, but they've been SO CLOSE-LIPPED about her scenes, and it's KILLING me. 😭
Tumblr media
"Deeply willful around Louis"--yeah, we saw a glimpse of that in the trailer; it's what he deserves. Give 'em hell, Claudia!
And yeah, she's PISSED that they cast her as Baby LouLou--imagine, being infantalized, and given the name of the father you've already gone through so much to emancipate yourself from as a "Brother" instead of "Daddy Lou." 😒 Eff Louis--where's Claudia's scythe at!?
Tumblr media
LOUIS / LOUMAND
Tumblr media
"Nonsense--" TheWrap isn't holding back a single punch huh?
Tumblr media
"dating show contestants feigning authenticity to clumsily present themselves in the best light--" oof. 💀
Tumblr media
Holy god; "begging the question...if Louis has just traded one abuser for another" GO AWF! 🚩🚩🚩
DANIEL / DEVIL'S MINION
Tumblr media
Wow, so this must refer to Episode 5 from the episode titles list released recently. "Genuine horror".... 😈
Tumblr media
RIP. 💀 Youngmaniel might see some action, but Oldmaniel's "utterly allergic and adversarial;" OOF. 💀💀
ARMAND
Tumblr media
They keep saying petty. 😅 These messy queens are a trip!
"Far more powerful" -- I am SEATED~! I wanna see THE coven master!
Tumblr media
Yaaas, come through Children of Satan/Darkness acolyte! 😈
Tumblr media
"Scarred and transformed by the same man" -- they sound like war veterans. U_U
LESTAT / LOUSTAT
Tumblr media
"the show's primary villain--" say it louder. Book stans need to stop projecting post-IWTV Lestat the hero/protagonist/MC into the narrative that LOUIS is telling, as a guy struggling to get over his ex.
Tumblr media
"There to berate him for his poor choices--" this tracks with the trailer released today, too, where the producers said Dream-Stat would "pass judgement" on Louis' pisspoor actions.
PRODUCTION (Sets, Costumes, etc)
Tumblr media
Yes, IWTV S1 was absolutely gorgeous; their attention to detail was immaculate. And so far it looks like S2 is gonna be just as nice. I REALLY like what I've seen of the Threatre's aesthetic.
THEATRE DES VAMPIRES & SANTIAGO
Tumblr media
I freaking love this. XD
Tumblr media
Agreeing with him about WHAT though? 🤨 That Louis & Claudia are hiding things? Or that they deserve to die because of it? (Especially since Lestat is OBVIOUSLY not actually dead, so what "crime/rules" are they actually breaking, Lord Kangaroo Court?)
TALAMASCA & CRITIQUES
Tumblr media
Thank you lord god kamisama flying spaghetti monster he's a Talamascan, not another secret vampire.
But now I'm nervous, thanks to the ComicBook review:
Tumblr media
Uh oh. The Talamasca feels forced & out of place. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
Tumblr media
The AVENGERS INITIATIVE. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
But they say it feels like "Daniel's being recruited--" YES PLEASE. 🙏 If Daniel's not gonna be a vampire, at least let him be a Talamascan. Ain't no way he can return to the mundane world after all this.
Tumblr media
My BIGGEST complaint about IWTV as a franchise is its tenuous connection to the Immortals Universe. AMC is dropping the ball hard on creating an ARCU--Anne Rice's Cinematic Universe. There are SO MANY immortals & supernaturals we should've BEEN seen in S1, walking the streets of NOLA. I will say this every time: Oncle Vervain Mayfair should've been brought in from the OG pilot script. We should've seen Louis go to him for gris-gris before the poker game, and introduce Lestat to Vervain as a practitioner of what Louis thought was "European voodoo." Also: we should've seen Lasher. There should've been a scene where the Mayfairs told the vampires to GTFO their territory, and keep their hunting grounds on the other side of town. Like, the Mayfair Witches show sucks like you wouldn't believe, it's so stupid (looks gorgeous though), but the WORLDBUILDING is ripe for the taking! And AMC did squat with it!
Like, tbh, I don't see the point of a whole Talamasca show, and if it's handled by Esta & the gang from MW, then I don't wanna see it--I WILL, ofc, but I won't WANT to. Especially since we haven't seen any ghosts. ISTG, PLEASE have Merrick Mayfair in Ep7 or Ep8--not only will that bridge IWTV with MW, but it can perfectly lead to Blackwood Farm., while keeping the threads between vampires, ghosts, AND the Taltos (if they're determined to do a Lestat/Rowan crossover from Blood Canticle 🤢🤮).
I was wondering why so many reviews were giving it 4/5 or 9/10, like wtf are y'all being so stingy for!? But if this is the problem, then I'm not surprised, I've been complaining about it the whole time.

Just finished reading chapter 16 AND HONEY; I AM UNDONE. The Seokjin fluff we got was precious and absolutely delicious. I ate that shit up like it was a five-course meal, lol. Seokjin just announcing their relationship to the world?? Possibly the cutest thing I’ve ever read, along with the way he was so touchy and clingy. Finally able to indulge in his wants!! My poor heart!!
Taehyung felt so distant in this chapter, and it breaks my heart! Especially with that other woman at the club 😤😤 who you talkin to, Pookie?? I miss him.. and I can only hope he isn’t trying to get over his obvious feelings for the MC with someone else; I won’t be able to handle that angst!!
But seriously, that ending felt so unexpected. I thought I could finally rest easy after the previous cliffhanger from chapter 15, but nope, here you go again! It’s incredible how well you are able to build up suspense within your work. I am captivated each time and desperate for more! I can only imagine how much work you put into each chapter; writing 20k nearly each time, + editing is really impressive! It flows well, and each detail you put into your work shows the way the relationships between everyone seem to grow. Truly amazing!! I remember reading the first chapter of Trouvaille when it came out, and I’m just so happy that romantic relationships are finally developing. It’s so rewarding :)
Sorry for the long ass ramble. Love your work and take care~ <33
-M
HEHEH!!! I hope you enjoyed the wild ride!!! OOF There's nothing better than romantic Seokjin, I KNOW he'd be the best boyfriend ever 🥺 He's also turning into a goofball he's so happy he can love up on her,... All of the touchiness, the clinginess god I wish I was Y/N.
Ah... Tae 😭 I smell some angst coming up surrounding him, sorry to my Tae bear stans in advance 😭 Eventually things will end up working out in the end, but there has to be some rocky conflict in order to keep things balanced and zesty. I miss him too 😭 I can't believe he had the courage (or balls) to flirt with another girl in that club...
Stopppp you're too sweet, M! 🥺 Honestly I don't set out to write so much each month, but as I go, I keep getting new ideas and oops suddenly its 20k 💀 I'm so happy that you think it's flowing well, that's one of the things I worry about, so thank you for telling me 💜💜💜 AH I love how close they're all getting, even the friendships like Jin/Hoseok and Joon/Jeongguk 🥰 EEE I can't believe you've been here since the beginning, I'm honored 🥺 We're on quite the journey together and I'm so glad you're here with me! Sending you so much love and thank you for reading and writing me a lovely message 💕

i remember reading tda for the first time and thinkin g"Huh,that julain fellow sure is into that lady named emma,i wonder what that's like"then i i watched a video of emma heesters,and it was like "I get it"
Okay but like ?!?!?!?!!??
Emma Cordelia Carstairs is a fucking goddess.
She is one of the best fighters in the tsc universe and that’s purely because of her training and hard work.
She is absolutely stunning and she is blonde (that last bit is personal for me)
She will slap the fuck out of you or lead you to ant hill if you disrespect her best friend.
AND SHE HAS A GOLDEN SWORD!!!!
What more can you want from a woman????

Ariadne had always wanted to do it. However, the demon had some reservations about it as she sat in front of him, talking to him about it.
“I’m not sure… I don’t want to hurt you in any way.” The Avatar said quietly, his thumbs twiddling as he looked down, his eyes on his lap. Suddenly, a smaller hand came to rest on his giant one, making him look up.
“Beel… I trust you. I know you won’t hurt me in any circumstance.” She told him softly, caressing his hands. “Plus, I have your pact. As much as I hate to say this, I will invoke it if I begin to feel that things are going out of hand.” The blonde reassured him, leaning forward to kiss him sweetly, her hands resting on his pecs.
Immediately, his larger hands came forward to take hold of her perfect ass, lifting her off the couch with absolutely no effort before setting her down in his lap. Taking the hint, she straddled him. “Alright. But promise me that you’ll make use of our pact in case you feel that I’m losing control.” He demanded before his lips found purchase on her ivory neck.
“Y-Yes…” The woman stuttered out before moaning breathily as he licked a stripe up her throat. “Fuck... B-Beel!” She groaned out when he sucked on her jugular, hard enough to bruise her porcelain skin.
The ginger smirked against her, his lips moving up her neck, littering little kisses and bites. “Beel… Beel… Kiss me!” Ariadne demanded, frustrated. “Of course, princess.” He replied, capturing her plush lips in a scorching kiss filled with tongue and teeth as he nipped and sucked on her lower lip.
Somewhere in between the intense make-out session, the Avatar of Gluttony managed to flip their positions, seating his pact master on the edge of the hotel room couch before dropping to his knees in front of her. The sight of such a powerful being kneeling in front of her did inexplicable things to her libido, a dark blush blooming across her beautiful face.
His hand reached between her thighs, playing with the hem of her panties. “I’m starting to get hungry now, princess.”
“Please…” 
“Please what, babygirl?” Beelzebub asked with a smirk. “You can do better than that, yes? Use your words~”
“P-Please eat me out, Beel-!” She let out wantonly. Without losing a second, he hooked a single, deft finger under the fabric of her panties. Ariadne couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed, as he slowly dragged the G-string down, his eyes widening with curiosity at the black barely-there lace. “Fuck…” He groaned out, imagining just how good she would have looked in just her lingerie. “Did Asmo pick that out for you?”
If he wanted her to reply, she couldn’t think of anything in time as his tongue dove onto her clit to trace a firm line down your cunt. Her legs trembled, hands fisting the fabric of the duvet hard as she tried not to collapse onto Beelzebub’s face. She couldn’t even see his expression, covered by the cloth of the dress she had been wearing for the party, but the things he was doing to her beneath the cover were un-fucking-holy.
“Oh, shit.” She moaned, raising a wrist to her mouth to stifle the moan. The Avatar’s tongue was fast, flicking back and forth and making the sensitive bud feel like it was electrocuting her. Tears sprang to her eyes as his fingers jutted deep inside her, curling up against her most vulnerable point. The blonde hurriedly pulled the skirt of her dress up to avoid getting it wet, biting it to keep it up and away from the debauchery that was happening between her thighs. In the process, she revealed the demon’s head, and saw that he was already looking straight up at her to watch her reaction.
“Don’t look at me like that.” She whispered breathlessly as she struggled to keep her head straight orgasm after orgasm. The ginger smiled, and Ariadne swore that she felt the grin against her pussy. He kissed the inside of her thigh with a wet smack and looked like he was about to say something before footsteps suddenly thundered down the hall. His eyes widened with alarm. The human gasped. They weren’t even supposed to be out of the party in the first place!
“I don’t think I left it in there.”
The door swung open. Belphie walked in, his footsteps distinctive in their heavy pace.
“I don’t see it. Ugh… this is why we don’t trust you with shit, Mammon.”
“Ugh, where are Ari and Beel even? Ariadne was the one who left it with this idiot anyway.” 
Mammon whined something in response, but with her focus on keeping herself quiet under the ginger’s ministrations, she couldn’t make out what he had said. She also heard Leviathan and Satan speak something but couldn’t make out what.
“Yeah… lemme check the bed. Maybe it got hidden under the blankets.” 
The blonde thought she was going to explode, not having had a breath the entire time the other members had walked in. And, to add to her misery, Beelzebub’s fingers were still fucking her, slower as to not make obvious noises, but still reaching so deep that it took every ounce of willpower she had to conceal your spasming orgasms. His cock was hard and firm against her ass as the two of them lay spooning each other, trying to look as small and inconspicuous as possible on the bed while forgetting just how huge the glutton actually was. She was sure that if anybody looked at the messy bundle of sheets closely, they’d see the vibrations of her body uncontrollably grinding back onto the Avatar of Gluttony. Her wetness was pooling on the sheet beneath her, the air under the blanket was suffocating and humid, and if anyone pulled the covers down then everybody would see this. See her like this. Beelzebub’s fingers curled up into her tensely as he froze in anticipation, His brothers sounding to be right beside him. She felt something cold and hard press against her back.
“Beel just texted.” Belphie announced all of the sudden, and you deflated with relief as the footsteps paused. “He says they’re in the lobby.”
“I thought we already looked there?”
“Let’s just look again.” Satan scowled. “We’re running out of time.”
The demons hurriedly exited, shutting the door behind them. Ariadne waited a couple seconds after hearing the lock engage before finally pulling her hand off of her mouth, gasping loudly for breath. She felt like she’d suddenly gotten a headache from the intracranial pressure of holding back her screams.
“Beel!” She accused, finding the strength to roll away from him and pull down her dress. “What if we got caught?!”
“So what if we got caught?” He grinned. He looked down at his hand, still so glossy with the remnants of her cum, and made sure she was watching before licking his deft fingers like he’d just enjoyed a gourmet French three course meal. “We didn’t, did we?”
She huffed indignantly, finding her purse on the floor and rummaging through for her DDD. Sure enough, there were three missed calls from Belphie and a couple texts on the HoL group chat.
“I’m going to go deliver this to them.” The woman muttered, hastily patting your face to make sure her makeup wasn’t streaming down her cheeks. “You… I’ll have a word with you later.”
“Wait a second~” He sang as she was about to charge out of the door. Frustrated, she whirled back around.
“What now?”
The blonde saw him swinging something around his finger like a flag. Once it stopped circling, she recognized the black fabric. The Avatar’s smirk was absolutely evil.
“Forgetting something?”

okokok but one with ethan dating a girl like jade from victorious that summer be awesome lol
oof, i had so much fun writing this!🖤 if you have any other ideas, send them in hun
the reader is not specified as woman, but they wear a ball gown and probably some other things that are considered feminine
warnings: it’s been a hot minute since i watched this show, so i apologize if i got something wrong. as for other warnings (there are so many, wow), expect reader being a psychiatric case, of course: mention of vampires, ghost summoning, scissors, probably a disturbing scenario (what comes after ↓) so please don’t read it if blood, dead bodies, creepy ballrooms and being a vampire trigger you. the writing style in the scenario reads like a badly written horror fanfiction, lol. and i think there is one swear word.
~
Tumblr media
- first of lemme say
- Jade is one my fav characters ever
- so, thank you for requesting
- though I needed to think a bit about this to try to make it different than this request
- but what I will do is just write the reader as very gothic and sarcastic
- so, let’s start
- Ethan is usually considered really cute and shy, but I bet he would ask you to do him makeup
- so, you would sit next to him, take his face in your fingers with (his) black nail polish and put him on the eyeliner in the fanciest, the most vampire style there is to exist
- then you would go out and probably make people run across the street, lol
- he would watch horror movies with you
- imagine it’s really late and you two are binging some scary movies
- then there is a jump scare
- so, of course, you take the opportunity to grab his leg or something
- he screams and pulls you closer, to protect you or for protection, there is no way to know (but knowing you were most certainly a vampire slayer or a vampire in your past life it’s probably the latter)
- and you start laughing at him
- with wide eyes and his heart still beating rapidly, he tells you he will never again watch a horror movie with you
- but he does
- gets you black roses (at least every other day)
- sometimes he gets really confused by your sarcasm and thinks you’re being serious and as much as it’s awfully annoying when coming from other people, it’s somehow adorable when it’s him
- his biggest goal would be to scare you
- he would be constantly creeping up at you, turning off the lights or screaming out of nowhere
- it’s safe to say he never managed, but he is getting a little better, you will give him that
- he is the only person who would listen for hours to you rambling about summoning ghosts and go with you to scissors shopping and despite being terrified, he would try to learn something about those and similar topics to impress you
- he would start preparing for Halloween far too early to make them as special as possible to you
- and every 31st October, after you had a incredible and horrific night, you would smile him your rare genuine smile, hug him and tell him you love him (remember what I have just said, cuz that teeth rotting bullshit is never coming out of my mouth again (though it does, but shh))
- this would maybe not be possible in this world and I’ll maybe make some of you concerned for my well being, but I’m including it and that’s final ↓
- you are wearing a ball gown, heavy and once white, but now covered in blood stains that changed color to the one of rust a long time ago
- night is still young, but the ballroom is empty, no guests in sight
- your heels make a clicking sound as you go down the massive stairway
- from the shadows of the room only illuminated by candles, steps a man wearing a white suit to match your gown, a stony expression on his face and hair in a simple low bun
- his lips scratch in a tight smile as he offers you his gloved hand
- you take it and allow him to pull you closer
- you step onto the ballroom and music starts (✨magically✨) playing
- he spins you and leads your bodies in perfect sync, your heels digging into the bodies spread around the room and a grin wide on your face as you dance your damned dance in the haunting moonlight, il ballo della vita
Tumblr media
i hope this is not too weird and that y’all liked it. wish you wonderful morning, afternoon, evening or night💕
Love, Ri✨
P.S. i’ll try to post requested match ups tonight
P.S.S. this is slowly turning into an ethan stan account and i’m here for it

AH stans will keep yapping on and on about his texts because that’s all they have. They see that one text he sent to Paul Bettany and that’s all they need to be convinced that he’s the abuser (not that they’re capable of critical thinking and accepting the fact that men can also be victims) but whenever you bring up the audio recordings, it’s suddenly “he released the recordings that are out of context to fool you”. Right….. so you are allowed to look at one text message of his to characterise him as an abuser without further context, but hours and hours of audio recording lack context. Mhm. I’d like to see them explain away AH gaslighting him saying “you’re fine, I didn’t punch you, I was hitting you”. Bet they’ll say it’s self defense. But imagine if he said anything remotely like that? Oof they would personally drive to Fairfax Virginia to have his head on a stick lmao.
I agree. The texts are bad, but they’re not damning. I’ve seen many abuse victims on here saying “pfft, that’s the lite version of what I would have said to my abuser” so I’m not going to judge. When you’re pushed to your limit, you may say things that are over the line because you’re over the line.
Y’know what? I haven’t seen many AH stans defending those audio recordings. Maybe I’ve just missed those posts, but I think deep down they know she’s fucked lol
They’re going to spin this however they have to because they can’t accept that their perception of feminism (a woman can’t do any wrong) is being challenged. It’s going to be an ugly scene when he wins…

WWR 
Ok y’all if you thought 18x05 was long, you in for a trip. Get ready for lots of caps, lots of not PG-13, and lots of overanalysis. I hope this lives up to the hype since it took me forever and a day (literally almost every minute of the 20 minutes of scenes took practically an hour to breakdown, I have a problem I know). Anyways, let’s get sweaty under the cut because the day ain’t young no more 👇🏼
Their bickering in the car but Nick smiling the whole time is a huge married vibe but also he’s so happy she’s alive and will take any shit she gives him vibe and I’m here for it. Pluuuuus Ellie avoiding nicks question about the phone call 😭 he’s so freaking concerned for her (he’s been through his own version of PTSD), his voice drops all the teasing and he actually opens up a little bit - really wants to make sure she’s ok. He needs to be there for her and ugh poor Ellie, those walls are going back up after that hug- a momentary lapse in her usual self. She’s so far outside of her comfort zone talking about feelings and weaknesses and she immediately deflects. Nick respecting that deflection is also huge growth for him, knows it’s not ok to push through like a person like him would normally do and force her hand. He knows she needs space but also clearly ready to be that ear to listen or shoulder to cry on whenever she needs it.
His joke about notable mustaches only to be the butt of the joke about using the word notable later is hiiiiiilarious. 
Her comment about Zillow 😂 um excuse me ellie you looking for houses and to settle down 👀 but then(!!) Nick pushes her down the stairs first when shots start, getting her out of harm’s way and putting himself in danger like he always does my heart 😩 like he’s still on the stairs by the time she’s in a cell “safe.” And side note damn they are good shots, oof. 
The toilet bowl scene is easily one of my favorites. Nick freaking out over Ellie moving hers and him not being able to had me DYING. Like legit cackling over his worry she’s suddenly way stronger than him 🤣🤣 and then he gets SO pissed they took their car hahaha like so mad he hugs the damn wall in frustration. But then he claims he’ll rip out the bars of the window (you know, to make up for not being able to move his toilet and still prove he’s macho) and Ellie’s comment about superhuman strength & his agreement LOL. His anxiety level of being trapped and more so Ellie being trapped is getting to him already. He is reaching for any possible way to get them (read: her) out of there safely it doesn’t matter that the plan sounds outrageous. Cue him moving back to pissed and breaking the toilet with his damn foot like 🥵 we get you strong Nick but no need to show off. Hot damn. His “I really think we’re stuck in here” after that IDK why but had be laughing again. I’m pretty sure I said “no shit Sherlock” at my TV watching live because thank you Captain Obvious. 
Aaaaaand then when she pauses and finds the bomb bricks but goes so quiet oooooof he’s on high alert. You can practically hear his heart pounding and then he goes and starts panicking slightly when she doesn’t respond with our first use of a first name, “Ellie we have a wall between us, what is it?” But his tone is so frantic and his eyes are darting around putting the whole picture together and my heart aches for him. He’s starting to realize just how helpless he is to save her. The exact thing he likely swore he’d set out to never let happen again (Ellie in danger) after last episode, is happening again. And this time, it’s not like he can go hunt the guys down, he’s quite literally stuck. Helpless with no way out. Aaand here’s where Nick starts to lose his patience. Pissed at himself for not saving her before, not being able to save her now. Pissed at everything. He cannot comprehend how she is in this situation AGAIN and he can do nothing. But oh lord, he doesn’t even realize it’s about to get worse...
Him brooding over this crappy situation in a corner and being the cautious one is so unlike him (but also so telling as to how unnerved he is by her being in danger once again and not wanting to do anything to make it worse) and Ellie calls him on being “so careful, cowboy” and hot damn again she really does like a man in uniform doesn’t she??? 👀🔥 and she not picky on the type of uniform either 😏 but Nick immediately deflects because he’s not *quite* ready to talk feelings so let’s get down to business about counting bullets BUT the second Ellie starts to worry again he goes into hyperdrive protective and caring boyfriend partner. Without hesitation he tells her they’re going to figure it out because goddamnit he HAS to figure this out for her. He can’t fail, again. And he’s so so SO worried about her & her mental health right now and I sincerely love it. I know Ellie doesn’t want to have that conversation but I stan (I can’t believe I’m using that word, I’m not hip enough for that word) an empathetic boyfriend who supports their significant other when facing mental health issues (like PTSD in Ellie’s case) ❤️❤️❤️ Nick breaks my heart, he wants to be there for her- wants to be the one she feels comfortable enough to open up to and he just gets so dejected when she rejects his probing again (but I don’t blame her, it’s *hard* to open up about these difficult topics), his body language slumped over the bars and tone is just so defeated even if he tries to snap back into his usual Torres self (newsflash it ain’t working bruv because she’s not totally wrong in calling you hovery). Yet naturally he gets annoyed because he JUST CARES ELLIE DAMMIT LET HIM CARE. Like you go through this entire list of him trying to protect you from everything that could go wrong because HE CARES. HE WAS TERRIFIED HE LOST YOU ELLIE. HE TRULY THOUGHT HE’D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN. NEVER TOUCH YOU AGAIN. NEVER TELL YOU HE LOVES YOU. HE CARES. AND HE CANT LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU AGAIN. HE LITERALLY WANTS TO SAVE YOU (his own words because god damn this show plays with my emotions 😭😭) FROM ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE HE COULDN’T SAVE YOU FROM GETTING KIDNAPPED AND HAVING TO FIGHT YOUR WAY OUT OF A PLANE RIGGED TO BLOW. Ok done with yelling for now but man this part gets me. The implications are so important even over trivial stuff. He felt helpless and Nick Torres cannot do helpless, so he tries do to everything else in his power to keep her away from any danger no matter how little it seems. Even hot coffee is too much for his precious babe and while he knows she’s not some delicate, fragile flower- he knows she can hold her own (& has called her a badass as proof), his heart can’t possibly take another explosion on an airstrip. Even if that airstrip is something like a burnt tongue. Ok I die now 😩😩😩
But let’s come back to living because this bullshit Nick “I always tell you what’s going on with me...you ask I tell you” exCUSE ME. Is this the same man who claimed he was being overprotective and that Ellie was like a sister to him?!???!! Yeah, I call bullSHIT that you tell Ellie what’s going on with you. (And Ellie calls BS too, btw buddy). 
But when Ellie finally decides to open a little I love it. I think she finally understood at least just a bit that he just, simply cares about her & her well-being. So she gives him a tiny taste of what she’s going through. And god Nick’s face when he understands the gravity of what she’s having to face mentally. Like I know he knew but I don’t think he knew just how bad. And you can just see that hatred towards his perceived failure turning inward once again as the mood shifts in these cells to somber. Plus Ellies last comment here with them *needing* to find a way out of there- girrrrrrrl poor baby girl 😭 she’s struggling so hard right now and trying so hard to not let it show and not let it get to her but you know she’s terrified. You know she’s desperately triggered. UGH Ellie 💔💔
We cut to Ellie desperately trying to figure out a solution to getting the fuck outta there and once again my heart aches for her triggered self. Nick seems desolate and frustrated, shutting down slowly as it seems less and less likely they’ll get out. Buuuuut then the GUM. Ahahahahahah Ellieeeeeee how do you know about that last piece of gum for “breath emergencies”??? AHHHH this man’s jeans are so damn tight (& yes trust me I would know, I observe) but like also you staring at a spot on said tight jeans that’s only maybe five inches from a different outline 👀👀👀 GIRL I FEEL YOUUUU. GET. IT. Plus she knows exactly what he calls it and I freaking love that. His excuse for why he has to save it is also hilarious 🤣 his breath emergency later hmmm doubt you wanted to save it to MacGyver something Nick sooooo you got another thing in mind?? 😏 and then LMAO it’s mushy because his pants are sweaty I’m rolllllling. Your pants too tight Nick? (this is not humanly possible btw) ALSO is this why later Ellie says she expected Nick to be more sweaty??? If it is and now rewatching I kind of feel like it is, omg what a great callback on her part 🤣🤣
Nick trying to coach her on the proper way of opening the cell door is hilarious because bitch which one of you was able to move their toilet Nick 👀😂 but oh damn now it’s when shit goes downhill fast. 
Nick not being able to see anything and his frantic questioning is amazing compared to Ellies absolute panic realizing she is once again facing down a bomb. I feel like her calming breaths are a coping technique Jack has been helping her with but man kill me now, Nick’s face?? When he realizes what he thought was helplessness earlier has just shot yo exponentially??? Oof with a capital O. This poor man needs a damn drink and yet all he can have is a club soda boy I *feel you* on that (side note #letsgetthisbabyoutmybellyasap). His woman has gone and gotten herself into another bomb encounter for the second time in a week. And he CANT DO A DAMN THING ABOUT IT. Can you imagine the absolute inner (and outer, give it a sec) freak out he’s having?? He wants to save her from hot coffee for Christ’s sake and now he can’t save her from a rigged bomb. Talk about a shitty situation. 
I just love the Torres Teachable Moment little discussion. Like Nick’s smirk gets me. I really don’t think he knew she had a name for it or realized that she caught on to what he was doing (trying to help her grow as an agent without being obvious or “degrading”). And then we move on to comparing arm length and I crack up 😂 “my arms are longer than yours” and “no they’re disproportionately short for your body” HAHAHA like what the hell have you guys been doing to know this?? Do you stand *that* close together with your arms down to know their lengths comparatively and how much do you stare at Nick, Ellie? Daaaaaaamn. From his gum to his arms to his body I see you 👀 I’m not hating tho I would too 😏 I think what I loved most about this whole jail scene (aside the ending obvs) is the quick flipping back and  forth from joking & teasing to dead serious & worried. Like they’re both trying so hard to keep it above board and light- trying desperately not to think of the implications of what’s happening but then (usually Nick) those intrusive thoughts sneak through and he can’t help but redirect them back to serious. It shows their inner warrings with themselves and just how hard this is for both of them. How much they want to appear strong and unflappable but they both know deep down the whole situation is eating away at them. And Nick bringing up her standing on a bomb only moments before he tells her he’s going to shoot the wall- OOF. Ellie’s genuine terror for him injuring himself and her then not being able to do a damn thing about it because she’s standing on a FREAKING BOMB is so painful to watch. Like she’s stuttering she can’t get it out fast enough, she needs to stop him, she can’t fathom him getting hurt while she’s helpless (uh, hello there theme of the episode how have you been). Nick’s facial expressions through this scene are also so telling. He goes from “this isn’t a big deal” to “oh shit she’s panicking” to “holy shit is she going to open up, is she really talking about this” to “fuck it’s my fault she had to go through that and it’s tearing me up inside every second” to “hooooooly fuck is she about to say what I think she’s about to say?? Is she about to confirm what I know deep inside but am too afraid to say aloud?? Is it true??” And ELLIE OH ELLIE. Reliving that *has* to be hard, has to. To finally bring it up after she’s been dodging it all damn day...you know the thought of him getting seriously injured had her more than rattled. And she cracks open those cement walls around her heart so briefly, the glimpse in it provides I think a turning point for Nick. Finally seeing that it’s not just him, she’s in deep too. Even if she can’t say it, can’t say she was fighting to see him again 😩💔 he knows. She says he only has one bullet left and to save it and they’ll figure some other way with tears in her eyes my HEART. But Nick gets it. Nick gets it because he’s been in the exact same situation. His eyes as they process the implication of her words and the fear for his life running through them 🥺 his simple “ok” is so unlike his normal self, you just know he’s once again doing anything and everything he can for. Even if that means standing down and not fighting for his way (the natural instinct for him). He knows what she needs is reassurance he won’t accidentally shoot himself. So he does it 😭 But him pacing (as a man of action suddenly faced with forced inaction) & Ellie begging for an inventory over and over (a woman of logics and data faced with PTSD) is so painful. You can tell they’re both struggling and neither wants to admit it but also they both need to do something - for Nick that becomes finally deciding to shoot a foothold in the wall and for Ellie that meant trying to go over their facts again and again but suddenly she’s once again terrified Nick is going to injure himself. The one man she fought to see again might hurt or even kill himself and she can’t do a damn thing because she’s standing on a bomb for fuck’s sake. Aaaaaaand cue the blow up. Cue Nick voicing his worst fears of Ellie accidentally triggering the bomb. Cue Ellie getting defensive because she’s so damn used to be babied and treated like she can’t take care of herself. Cue the “overprotective hovery man crap” line that had me rolling on the floor (tbt ROFL). Cue Ellie calling herself a girl but Nick calling her a woman like DAMN get me where it hurts Nick- that right there is a man who respects the living hell out of this fiiiiiiine representation of a woman in front of him 🔥. Cue Ellie saying because I’m “me” like um FUCK YES IT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE YOU AND HE’S TOO SCARED OF LOSING YOU ELLIE. Cue Nick finally losing his shit and getting reeeeeealllllllll like hallelujah do you hear the church bells?! Even Ellie knows to finally pause and listen. Nick never loses it on her, never. She knows this shift is serious and it’s happening. And omg his confession can I just have a moment of silence for the GROWTH.
Thank you, it needed commemorating. The same Nick who didn’t belong to a team is the Nick that is out here claiming he can’t sit idly by while the love of his life might get blown up again. He’s NOT OKAY WITH THAT AND NEITHER AM I. NOT AFTER THIS GODDAMN SCENE. His head bob accentuating just- how- important this is to him is so in character (thank you Wilmer) and theeeeeeen shoot me the way he has to fucking collect himself from almost crying. The emotion- there just aren’t words. Literally he has to look up to the sky and blink back those tears you know are threatening to fall at the thought of the woman who he still *technically* hasn’t told that he loves her could potentially die, again, for the second time in a week. So guess the hell what? He’s telling her (sort of). He’s telling her he would do anything, anything, put himself in danger’s way if it meant there was even the tiniest chance it would save her. Pardon the callback but- HE WOULD RISK HIS LIFE TO SAVE HERS. DON’T YOU REMEMBER ELLIE. YOU SAID I KNOW. DO YOU KNOW NOW. DO YOU. BECAUSE GOOD LORD CAN YOU MARRY THIS MAN ALREADY BEFORE I DIVORCE MY HUSBAND AND DO IT (jk love you honey 😘). But like damn, she knows it now. That look- she bites her lip and has tears in her own eyes at the realness she can feel even through a cement block wall. It’s a feeling she’s not used to. She isn’t used to being a person someone would literally risk death for. She doesn’t think she deserves it (sip on that like whiskey, mull it over, let it sink in & cry about it). Even if she knows she doesn’t need saving (and so does Nick), she finally realizes it isn’t about that. It isn’t about he feels like she can’t do it. It’s about the overwhelming pull that your life isn’t greater than the one you love. That love, real true love, is knowing you would do anything for that other person (and they the same) because the world would be worse off without them in it. And Nick will never be okay with a world without Ellie. Never. Their joint quiet after his confession is so powerful. There’s no claims of falsehood, there’s no trying to quip back at him, there’s no trying to stop him. It just settles into the room- into their hearts. They’ve crossed a line and it means so, so much. Nick can feel a weight lifted off his shoulders as he loads his gun and gets ready and Ellie can feel a weight settle on hers from the need to reciprocate. And not out of pity, it would be out of truth. But she knows it isn’t the right time. She knows she has to do it, and she will. She held back earlier when she couldn’t say she was fighting for Nick, but his outburst and confession gave her the courage in this scene. She finally has confirmation she means to him like he means to her. And she has to know, she has to know if he means it or if it was heat of the moment so when the dust settles she inquires, “what’s going on over there?” A pulse check. A way of asking without asking—did you mean that? And the shock of confirmation of her face as Nick, dead as a doornail serious says, “close calls make you live harder”….holy hell. That’s the moment it snaps for her, everything snaps into place—the agony he’s gone through not only this week, but the past couple years of close calls. He’s done beating around the bush, he’s living harder, he’s going all in, he’s getting what he wants. He refuses to let anything like a damn jail cell rigged to blow stand in his way. And she knows, she knows just how important she is to him. He might not have said those three words, but that phrase- that phrase was a direct window into Nick Torres’ soul. And by god I love it. 
But Nick pulling a prank on Ellie like that is also so Nick- the little shit. The genuine concern in her voice when she yells his name 😭 like dude, her worst fear, something causing ongoing trauma in her head right now is the ONE THING you decide to tease her with??? I should expect nothing less but damn that’s low 😂 her checking on his status update with Gibbs though feels like such a role reversal from earlier and it cracks me up, side note. 
When they’re getting ready to stand down the returning brother and Nick gets in position next to the wall but can’t even look ahead- he’s just staring at Ellie, oof. In that moment he’s brutally and painfully aware she can’t hide for cover. Not only can she not hide, he can’t cover her because he’s (locked in a cell but also) out of bullets. He’s once again near helpless and the woman he loves (and has now finally kind of told) is a sitting duck. Someone get this poor man a damn club soda, I repeat. 
And the little talk between the two parties- I love that Ellie takes point. Love that Nick lets her. Like damn that’s a supportive partner right there and I 👏🏼 AM 👏🏼 HERE 👏🏼 FOR 👏🏼 IT. He knows she can handle this shit and he will willingly let her. But nooooooowwwww weee gettinggggg to the goooooood paaaaaaart. 
Ok first, “good to see you” - this man has missed her face. Straight up dying to see her in the flesh. Just listening to her voice and not seeing the emotions written on her face is not enough. Seeing her alive, smiling at him, he needed it. But of course, let’s keep it light, act natural Nicholas. 
“I thought you’d be sweatier” - excUUUUSE ME ELLIE. Not only did you just call out his reference to his sweaty jeans earlier, you also WANT TO SEE HIM SWEATY DON’T YOU. THAT SMIRK SAYS YES DON’T LIE. And honestly, I don’t blame you shhhhh.
“The day is young” - can I get another excUUUUSE ME NICK. Words- they don’t- function. Because that knowing smile of hers- SHE’S OKAY WITH IT. GET YOUR MIND OUT THE GUTTER YOU TWO THERE’S A HOMICIDAL MAN UPSTAIRS. YOU’VE GOT TIME TO GET SWEATY TOGETHER TONIGHT YOU HEAR ME. THAT DAY IS YOUNG AND SO ARE YOU SO GET THOSE BRICKS AND THEN YOU CAN GET TO BANGING LATER. I just fucking can’t with their smirks. I can’t. This isn’t the normal banter, this is the fuck me banter and I’m okay with it. Because right after the I-wanna-get-in-your-sweaty-jeans banter we have Ellie putting her HAND ON HIS GD HIP AS HE PASSES ONLY TO MOVE UP TO BOTH SHOULDERS. AND THEEEEEEEN HOLY HELL SOMEONE LIGHT A MATCH BECAUSE THIS BITCH ABOUT TO EXPLODE FROM SEXUAL TENSION. Is it possible to rewatch this scene a thousand times in slo-mo and still not have watched it enough? Because that is me. That will always be me. How are they so in tandem, so in sync as they look up mere inches from each other- directly into the other’s eyes knowing exactly how serious this situation is and yet pausing to freaking gaze longingly (read: have eye sex) at each other. And I’m sorry Nick looks down at her lips like three times??? For a good while too?? Sir nothing you said required you to look there. nothing. And also there’s no way his hands aren’t on her I thiiiiiiink they’re on her upper arms (based on the last shot as he’s walking to get the bricks) but like hold her tight Nick please. Also while Ellie doesn’t look at his lips (in this scene) holy shit those are some come-hither eyes if I’ve ever seen them. “I’m sure” ABOUT YOU. SHE’S SURE ABOUT YOU NICK. SHE’S SURE SHE’S READY TO GET SWEATY WITH YOU NICK. Like literally, this girl had been leaning up against the cement wall for a looooong time before he has to pass her and now, NOW that Nick has to pass her- SHE STANDS UP TALL. TO GIVE HIM NO SPACE. WHILE SHE’S STANDING ON A BOMB. BITCH YOU WANTED IT. That was a damn power move Ellie and I am not mad about it. She so easily could have leaned back, given him a ton of space to get around, but nooooooo she stands right there, middle of the tight opening and says yes Nick come get 1mm from my face, touch me here, touch me there, touch me everywhere don’t care 👀 while you pass. I’m sure I’m okay with it because you’ve just eye fucked me and it’s exactly what I wanted. And I mean come oooooooon just the underlying emotion behind both of their words. Nick isn’t just asking if she won’t move her foot- it’s his way of asking if she’s ok and she looks SO much better, more relaxed now that he’s with her. The tense, anxiety-ridden Ellie that was asking for inventory or snapping about him being overprotective, is now at ease despite still standing on said bomb- all because Nick is right there with her and if that doesn’t make you 🥺😭 I don’t know what will. Like she can’t even take her eyes off of him even after rude brother interrupts this gold moment of theirs until Nick has already completely turned his head towards the dude. She’s just so relieved to see him standing there, so close to her, feeling his warmth underneath her hands again. 
Side note to prove my earlier point, when Nick casually reaches through to throw the bags of bricks through the door Ellie is leaning on the wall and THERE’S SO MUCH ROOM. HE COULD HAVE EASILY PASSED. 
Nick looks like he literally wants to murder the guy, enraged that he’s the one who put Ellie in this situation again. We would’ve seen swan!Nick if it wasn’t for Ellie choosing this moment to finally share her feelings. Because remember- she’d decided she was going to reciprocate but knew it wouldn’t come off the right way before. Now’s the time. Now when the immediate threat to their lives is gone (excluding bomb of course). Now when they’re alone, they’re together, and she can look him in the eye so he knows she’s serious. He can read the truth in her eyes rather than doubt her words said across a jail cell wall. 
“This isn’t about me, it’s about you” - well damn that got your attention didn’t it Nick??? So used to putting Ellie first, putting yourself second its weird to hear it come from someone else isn’t it? That someone is worried for your safety? That someone needs you living and breathing just as much as you need them doing the same? His eyes immediately change from Imma kill this man to did I just hear this woman right. 
“I’m not okay with you getting blown up either” - first off, the parallelism is what makes this absolute *chef’s kiss* because Nick has literally zero chance of being blown up if he runs after this dude. Shot? Yes. But blown up? No. Ellie has chosen these words precisely to call back to what Nick said earlier. To make sure he’s aware she understood the weight of his earlier confession and is making the same one. They are on equal footing- their feelings are not only reciprocated but just as strong as the other. She could’ve said anything else but choosing his exact words was so poignant in the moment. It’s like the difference between saying “I love you” & “I love you too” compared to “I love you” & “I really care about you.” And the way she says it with such confidence, she isn’t playing around, she didn’t even *have* to bring up their previous conversation, she’s got determination etched across her face with a ghost of a smile on her lips. She means this, and it’s dying to bust out of her. And so the shock to Nick’s system is quite frankly understandable. This is Ellie - someone who hours ago didn’t even want to tell him who she was trying to make a phone call to. Ellie who has walls the size of Mt. Everest erected around her heart. Ellie who could have brushed off his earlier comments said from the safety of a cement wall between them. But no. This Ellie is all-in, she’s ready to own up to her side. She’s ready to lay it on the line just like him. Equal footing. If Nick is ready to jump, then so is she. And he’s just so taken aback- glancing at her lips, blinking through the shock as he processes. Processes the weight of her words on their relationship. He knows he could laugh it off, make a joke about his superhuman strength not allowing him to get blown up, or he could man up and take them both forward. Ellie doesn’t even flinch under his stare, if anything she becomes more confident, more resolute in her words and her stance. Her eyes searching his for what his reaction will be and for a brief moment I swear there’s a tiny bit of worry, a tiny bit of unease that he wasn’t ready for her to repeat his words back to him. 
“Well, what are we gonna do about that?” Oh YOU HEARD. That smirrrrrrrrk Nicholas stop iiiiiit, Eleanor’s standing on a bomb you don’t need to light her on fire!! Because this is a challenge, a goddamn challenge. Staring straight into her soul saying, “oh you want me and I want you? How about we blow this popsicle stand and go get fucking sweaty ok? Because that’s what I want to do about that 👀🔥🔥🔥” and not only is the smirk sexy as hell but it’s also got this glint of elation. Like he could not be happier she said those words back to him. That he finally took Ziva’s advice, wasn’t a wuss and WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT IT PAID OFF. But his words also tell of a little nervousness. And not necessarily in a bad way, more as in a leaving it to her way. Putting her in the driver’s seat of this relationship knowing it’s where she’ll feel most comfortable. Given all she’s been through, like all of it not just the past week, he knows that she needs to be in control of how fast they move. And once again his chivalry and thoughtfulness of her is just- I cry. He doesn’t just assault her with what they should do next, he leaves it for her to decide. For her to weigh in on how far and how fast she wants to take them. And by the little shy smile Ellie gives him- she knows what he means. She knows her words have hit their mark and that he respects her enough to let her lead the way. And now she has to make her decision, a decision we DON’T GET TO SEE BUT I’M NOT BITTER IT’S FINE. But a decision nonetheless. 
I honestly go two ways on this- the most obvious of hell yes they kissed right then and there and started *something* and then the bitter realistic one of they were probably interrupted by Gibbs (who was literally outside like right then based on timing) but also may have just continued to stare into each other’s eyes- still slightly taken aback by everything they just shared and what it means for them. Still unsure of how they “work” as people who *love* each other, not just partners. Having that reality sink in as they continue to face off and wait for a rescuer. That reality sinking in could lead to obviously very good things (that we better see on our screen or I will fucking riot) or a slight nervous closing-off. Like not quite closed off closed off, but a tiny retreat when the gravity of the day falls down on both of them. I don’t think either will believe they only said what they did because of the situation/moment they were in, but it’s still a lot to deal with after all is said and done. I sincerely hope they unpack this in the coming episodes and give us some direction of what happened after that jail cell scene. 
I love the Torres told McGee about what happened today and I’m so curious about how much detail he told him lol but I also love that McGee has now received genuinely good advice from Torres twice now (the one about the reunion and now this). Just goes to show you the brotherly bond they have ❤️ but also that the advice was the same advice he literally lived out that day. Close calls make you live harder, almost as an affirmation to himself (Nick about what happened), but as something he knew McGee needed to hear too- they all do. 
And then this bullpen scene - one, how far of a time jump is this and whyyyyyyy won’t they telllll meeeeee. They hate me. Two, Ellie coming over so close just to hand off a file that he doesn’t even look at 👀 three, THEIR SMIRKS. WHAT DO THEY MEAN. Because Nick is holding back the world’s biggest smile as Ellie gets close to him and Ellie is just all nonchalantly checking him out with a brief eye-sex scene. Like damn this fine man doesn’t want me to blow up and I don’t want him to blow up either 🔥 Now does this mean they absolutely got together and did the nasty after they got out of that cell? Of course not. We can only dream, and write fics. This ending scene is very reminiscent of what NCIS loves to do with their power of open-ended persuasion at the end of an ep, see On Fire for example. The ending music and comments combined with the shot of Gibbs leaving in the elevator is literally there to try and persuade you that he killed Xavier. In this ep, the ending music and voiceover combined with their looks at each other is there to try and persuade you they totally got it oooooon. Not to say they didn’t, but I don’t trust NCIS one damn bit. 
All in all, cannot *wait* to see where they take ellick the rest of the season. Emily hyped this ep and man, she did NOT disappoint. Let’s see that shift that is going to ripple for the rest of the season now like Wilmer promised 🤞🏼
Oh and my only side note because this was insanely insanely long and if you’re still reading I’m proud of you for hanging in there with me & my screams into the void, send me an ask screaming back it’s ok I’ll love you for it—waaaas the whole team poking fun at Torres for using the word notable was downright hilarious. That and Gibbs trying to do everything himself, I can’t. Comedic gold. I love. I would go from dying of laughter to intense emotions so fast in this ep I got whiplash and for that, I am thankful to Gina. She always delivers 🔥

The most common criticisms I see are jumping around in the timeline and it doesn't feel true/it isn't accurate to the book. I think this book has been done so much that you have to do something different with it to "justify" another adaptation. Also how successful the structure of the movie is down to a matter of taste? It's pretty subjective honestly. As for the book, again it's already been done a bunch of times and the purists will never be happy (very simmilar disscusion around this and P&P 2005 actually) but nobody feels super out of character (except for Bhaer maybe) plus they do cover a lot of the books so.
I personally found the jumping around in the timeline very emotionally impactful, and I think that was kind of what Greta was going for. Less of a straightforward adaptation (which would have been hard to justify) and more of a character piece about this family. The contrast between Jo coming downstairs after seeing Beth's bed empty to find her well, against Jo coming downstairs after seeing Beth's bed empty to find her mother sobbing... oof.
I also think LW is a book that is HIGHLY dependent on your interpretation. You could see Meg as getting an HEA with her family, or you could see Meg as settling. You could see Amy as a bitch, or you could see Amy as a girl trying to find her identity through more traditional means, while dealing with the pressures that come with being a "traditional" woman in an era full of upheaval. You could see Jo and Laurie as "twin flames"~ and the ones who got away from each other, or you could see them as two incompatible people who were better as friends. (I.... never saw Jo as being truly romantically interested in Laurie, and I think the 2019 version nailed her complex feelings for him and how much of it was based in confusion. I ship Jo and Bhaer, but I think a strong argument could be made for Jo being gay and not quite realizing it, and if an adaptation wanted to do its own thing and go with that I'd support it.).
I guess what I'm trying to say is, the beats of the book were largely hit pretty accurately, but I think that a lot of people got distracted by like... The dressing of it. The visuals weren't married to the time period, the structure was non-linear, and a lot of the beats people had come to expect from LW were subverted in some ways--even in giving the other sisters more time to shine, rather than making it a Jo Fest, which the other adaptations tend to do imo.
I have a lot of complicated feelings about Jo. I think she's a well-written character and I can see why she has captured the imagination of many. I really don't have any issues with Jo as a character. I think fan interpretations of her are where we run into issues, and she's one of those characters where a lot of fanon has gotten confused for canon. Like, if you listened to a significant amount of LW readers, you'd think Jo was pining for Laurie and then he chose her sister and she settled for a marriage of convenience. Which.... isn't what happens with the plot lol. Jo's a lot less tragic! I think a lot of people overidentify with her and project on to her, and I think that's also part of what makes the 2019 version controversial. I think it kind of nails some of the aspects of Jo that don't line up to fan interpretation, and it lets the other girls shine a bit more--especially Amy, who is hated by a lot of Jo stans to this day and carries a lot of the the things that fans often associate with Jo. Pining for Laurie, having him snapped up by her sister (or so she thinks)... that's Amy. And there was really no fucking around in the 2019 version--Amy and Laurie's story was positioned as one of the main romantic arcs in the movie, not Jo and Laurie. That's one of the main controversies surrounding the book, and the fact that 2019 took a pretty strong stance on it made a lot of people upset, at least from what I saw at the time.

Damn, Kohga has clearly been fucked by A LOT of men (like damn, his ass doesn't even need prep) And Sooga is clearly possessive AS FUCK. Consider: Kohga tying down/ordering Sooga to sit still while Kohga jacks it/fingers himself, while telling Sooga FILTHY stories of his past dalliances until Sooga can't handle it anymore.
Ooooh this is a GOOD idea. Sooga maybe bottom, but he's a possessive bottom, and we STAN that energy. 
Kohga was horny as SHIT. Nothing new in that sentence, but what was different was the fact that it was caused by Sooga's possessiveness. It started off innocently enough; Kohga wanting to spank his big, juicy ass. Simple enough. Then he got into it. Hard, fierce spanking across his ass. And what caused it? That classic territorial nature of all blade masters. Kohga so much as MENTIONED bringing one in, and he just slapped his ass six ways from sunday. Hell, he needed to sit on a pillow for a few days after that. He even recalled how Sooga apologized for that, but Kohga would have none of it. Sooga was an ANIMAL. He just had to take the beast out of the cage.
"But how…."
He asked himself, rolling over to his stomach. He sent Sooga out on some scavenger hunt (he did this whenever he needed Sooga out of the base for a while), and was left to his own devices. He needed time to think about just how he was gonna get a rise out of Sooga. Poking the beast, so to speak. He couldn’t bring another guy in to watch, they'd start beating the shit out of each other (though them fighting was ALWAYS hot). Sooga wouldn’t even let them be near their DOOR when they did it. It was ridiculous. Other guy's Kohga fucked was not this complicated. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. He nearly bolted out of bed, completely astounded by his own brilliance.
"Kohga! You're not only a hunk, you're a GENIUS!"
Kohga knew just what to do.
---------------------
"Master Kohga, I have returned."
Kohga nearly bounced in place upon hearing his voice. He was SO ready for his pretty boy to come home. He opened his door, nearly yanking Sooga inside his room, and pulling him into a hug. Sooga sputtered in surprise, before chuckling and returning the affection.
"I was not expecting such a warm welcome for my arrival."
"Well, shame on you! Been waiting for you to come back! You like that mushy couple bullshit, so you'll love this!"
He looked up at Sooga, who cocked his head to the side.
"I do. But you don't."
"One, shut up. Two, I love YOU. So! We're gonna do something...interesting."
He pulled up a chair for Sooga (aka the good chair he got from Kingy), while he sat on his bed. Sooga was clearly not understanding what was happening, but he was going along with it, especially given Kohga’s excitement. He had drinks, snacks (mainly slices of nut cake and fruit), and even candles. It was sweet, honestly. Kohga patted his hand, clearly excited.
"So, Traysi recommends this for couples who are VERY serious about each other."
"The woman who runs the rumor mill? Should we be following-"
Kohga flicked his mask, huffing.
"We do not disrespect Traysi here. And yes, we're doing this. So you're ready?"
"If you are, absolutely."
"Good, you're going to go first. Now, tell me about EVERYONE you've been with before."
Sooga seemed confused by this. But, it was not only a command from Kohga, but Kohga actually and honestly trying to bond with him. Who could say no to that? Sooga thought about it for a moment.
"Let's see...when I was five, I married my neighbor's daughter. We had a mud cake and everything."
He chuckled. It wasn’t at all a serious answer, but it was just. So odd, recalling his past relationships, especially since they seemed so redundant now. He rubbed his chin a bit.
"Then there was Nabooru. I dated her when I was about fourteen. Lovely girl."
Kohga cocked his head to the side.
"You ACTUALLY dated girls?"
"In my teen years. When I was seventeen we broke up, started to date a stable boy. Shad. He was...a bit of a bookworm. I really liked him."
"What happened to you guys?"
Sooga hesitated, opening his mouth then closing it again.
"Father didn't....what I mean to say is...uhm, If I may skip, Master Kohga."
Oof, rough territory. Kohga waved his hand, letting him know to press on. Sooga shook the thought out of his head, happy to no longer be thinking about it.
"Then there were the occasional hookups. Nothing serious, a few men to share a bed with for the night. Chudly, Benja, and Vilia. Then it was you."
Kohga blinked. Wow. Could buy a piece of bread with that body count.
"That's...it? Only FIVE people? And one was a WOMAN? That’s ALL the people you’ve been with?!”
“Yes. Though, I wouldn’t fully include the first one, in all honesty.”
Sooga rubbed the back of his neck shyly, clearly a bit embarrassed from how little that seemed to be. Kohga just couldn’t fathom that. Five people, in his entire life. Sooga was a young stud, he could get plenty of his ass, just on his walk home. Kohga couldn’t fathom that. Sooga seemed to shrink a bit under his clearly bewildered look.
“Is that...too few?”
Kohga realized he was making Sooga feel self conscious. He was aiming for jealousy, not this. He raised his hands up a bit, shaking his head.
“No! No, any number is fine, even none. I’m just saying, I expected a LOT more. I mean, LOOK at you!”
Sooga chuckled, blushing like crazy underneath his mask like the cute guy he was. 
“Well, thank you, Master Kohga. But no, I have not been with anyone else. Just those, and I haven’t missed one. You know, I can actually see the merit in this piece of advice. It feels good, getting that off my chest. Is it your turn?”
Kohga almost wanted to cuddle his big, dumb face. Thankfully, he was too horny to bail on his plans. Kohga nodded.
“It is, actually. BUT. I have one order to give you, got it?”
“I...suppose.”
“You have to stay put in that chair. No matter what. Understand?”
Sooga looked confused, but he nodded.
“I’m afraid I don’t understand. But, an order is an order. I will stay seated.”
“Good. Good.”
Kohga grabbed his box of fun stuff, placing it right next to him, then laid on his back. He hoisted one leg over the other, arms behind his head.
“Okay, get comfy. Now, the first guy I dated was when I was...seventeen or so? I wanted to date earlier, but dad said to wait. Anyway, he was a merchant that’d come by every once and while. He was SUPER cute, and honestly? Not too bad of a kisser. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only guy he was seeing, but...well, I couldn’t complain, he was super cute. Nice hair. Always dated guys with nice hair.”
Kohga remembered those early years. Back when he didn’t know shit. Back when kissing was new and exciting to him. Sooga looked confused.
“I thought you said no one but you and your father saw your face.”
“Oh no, I NEVER took this off. A wise man caught nude will cover his face, not his privates.”
That made Sooga chuckle.
“A rather clever, yet lewd saying. Please, do continue.”
“Gladly.”
Kohga twiddled with his fingers as he recalled. Is he supposed to go in order? Or just whatever crossed his mind? He thought about it, before he thought about it.
“Oooh, then there was another one of my boyfriends. He was going through like, this weird hair phase? His hair was red, he had it up, and he was just. Big. Big, buff, and honestly he was just. Stupid. Let me tell you, I could grab onto his arm, and he could lift me up with absolutely no issues. We didn’t last long though, he thought he was hot shit. He GENUINELY said ‘babe, you’re pretty, but I’m prettier’. Can you imagine that? Ugh. Dude fucked good though, he REALLY did. He’d get all hot and sweaty after his work outs, and then. Well, dude fucked good. Real good.”
Kohga stripped himself free of his pants, and held his finger up when Sooga clearly wanted to ask questions. He stripped himself free, before getting comfy again, just stroking at his thighs.
“I remember once, when he got back from his trip across seas, he ended up fucking me right in the bar. We got just, so drunk, and he couldn’t keep himself off of me. He railed me in front of all his men, the barkeep, and pretty much who seemed to be paying attention. I was a young thing back then, a thick dick was all it took. I remember, I tried to give him his beer after he came in me, and I just, dumped it all over his chest by accident. He was a good sport about it, all I had to do was clean him up. Only, I didn’t have a rag, so...I had to improvise. Licked that dude like a lollipop.”
Sooga not so gracefully, grabbed a bottle of his favorite oil, and used it to rub along his thighs, just for a bit of a show, before sticking two fingers into his ass. Been a while since he touched himself like this, much less in front of someone else, and it felt GOOD, watching his greedy eyes upon him.
“It wasn’t a long relationship, but it was a fun one. Let's see, who else was there...ooh, there was that one guy. Dad HATED him, and I think there was a huge appeal in that. He was in charge of fixing trains and stuff. Big, muscle guy. Cute scar, tattoos, big hands. He wasn’t as rebellious as the other guy. We lasted a bit longer, but not by much. Super sweet. I remember he'd pick me out of nowhere, just because he could. That dude was the sorta romance then in your pants dance type. But he was KINKY. Dude really liked holding me down and giving it to me. I remember, we got REAL rough with it one time, he tied my hands up, tied me up in his workshop, and just railed my ass. Swore we almost got caught by a client once!"
Kohga laughed, really digging and stretching his ass.
"He taught me how to do this. Taught me how to get my nice, oily fingers inside of me. Taught me how to get nice and ready for the cocks he knew I wanted. In a way...he was my first.”
He snuck a glance at Sooga’s eyes, and he saw it. The little sparkles of jealousy. He knew he wasn’t his first, but knowing the details really got under his skin. Kohga introduced three fingers now, really arching his back as he felt himself be a little bit stretched. Sooga wasn’t goosey loosey down there, but he could take three fingers, knuckle deep, before he felt that familiar longing inside of him.
“Then...Then there was this other guy. Up until I started the clan, he was my partner in crime. Long hair, always kept in a ponytail. Nice, strong hands, and his eyes were something else. They were so...intense. Should’ve seen me the first time I caught those eyes, I was on him like a stack of bananas. He was the more...aloof than most of the guys I dated. He’d pop in and out, constantly looking for ways to get stronger. Never really got that guy. We would just..somehow end up in bed together. Sometimes it would be in a bed over some stable, sometimes it’d be some random, abandoned spot in the mountains. Either way, he’d fuck me, and be gone by morning. Hell, I don’t even think I caught his name. I just remembered we REALLY, REALLY liked each other.”
Kohga had to admit, recalling all of his past lovers was very, very fun. Recalling how many big, strong men wanted him, how each one fucked him differently, it was thrilling. He pulled his fingers out of himself, letting Sooga take a gander at his oiled, willing ass. The same ass that knew many, many men, and started to pump his cock. He would go on with his other boyfriends, but he didn’t want to wait longer. He wanted to hit Sooga right in that weak spot.
“Then the clan started. Those other blade masters...well. Let’s just say there’s a reason they’re so high in the ranks.”
He saw Sooga’s fingers grip onto the seats. He was already fuming from his past lovers, but his own peers? Oh, that was a way to get under a blade master’s hide. He was getting ANGRY. Not at Kohga of course, just the motion that ANYONE touched his precious Kohga.
“I remember once, a couple of them snuck into my room. They thought I was dead asleep, but I was very much awake. I felt them grope me, felt them pull at my clothes till it came off. Next thing I knew I had two in my ass, and two in my hands. Course I had that one guy in my mouth two, and the other three watching...oh who really knows? Once one was done, another guy took over. They pumped me full of cum, sucked and toyed with my cock. And I remembered I’d bark at them not to cum until I did, so they fucked me HARDER. Let me tell you, I have NEVER been that full of cum. Was practically swimming in it, and that was just how I liked it. I remembered them all tuckered out, asking if they pleased me.”
Kohga lifted his head up to look at his eyes. So angry, so jealous and furious, as if he was going to kill them for an absolute injustice.
“This...was the only case of them, yes?”
“Ooooh no. No. Not at all. Until you fell into the mix, I’d have a select few fuck me a few times a week. I still remember my favorite one. Big, strong guy. He’d tie my hands up in rope, nice and tight, and he’d just hold me down when he fucked me. He’d lean into my ear and whispered words dirty enough to make me shake. He was my favor-”
That was enough. Suddenly Sooga was on top of him, slamming his palm over Kohga’s mouth. Kohga was expecting something angry, something a bit kinky. But no. Sooga was FURIOUS. There was no stammering, no sweet talking, not even him asking as sweetly as he usually would. He just stuffed his cock in his eager, oiled ass, and fucked him. Fucked him with enough force that the head board kept knocking against the wall, that his hips ached from such a big, heavy body putting so much force into him.
"Stop it. Stop it. You're doing this to get a rise out of me. You want me to fuck you so badly, Master Kohga? I'll do that. I'll fuck you. I'LL be your favorite. No one else. Just me. Look at me."
And Kohga was LOOKING. Sooga had his legs wrapped around his own, keeping him in place so he had no choice but to take that nice, hard cock, right against that good fucking spot. Kohga tugged and clawed at his hand, as if he was trying to get Sooga off. Thank god Sooga knew better. Kohga just liked to thrash a bit, really MAKE his partner fuck his shit up. And Sooga was LOVING it. Kohga managed to move his mouth away a bit, trying not to grin too wildly.
"That's it, FUCK ME Sooga! Fuck my oiled ass, make me think of only YOUR cock!"
Kohga reached up to grab fistfulls of his uniform, yanking him to his face. Fuck that beautiful, panting face.
"Fuck me nice and proper, Sooga. Make me cum. Be my favorite boy, make my exes look like fucking LOSERS!"
Sooga may be pounding his ass like dough, but Kohga’s demands were still Kohga's. Sooga obeyed, shoving his fingers into Kohga’s pretty mouth, nearly making him gag as he continued to pound into him. Kohga knew he did that because he liked his dirty talk. Knew that he would cum if he listened to his pleading Master anymore, and he really, really wanted to be a good boy. Unfortunately, Sooga was so weak for his master. His fingers peeled out of his mouth, Sooga quickly becoming un done by not only his words, but his nice, tight body. Not that Kohga minded a small break from the rather large fingers. He was happy to sit there, moaning and grumbling, just absolutely so close to that edge.
“You LIKE fucking your Master Kohga, don’t you big guy?”
For a moment, they looked each other in the face, and Kohga only saw lust and competition. Exactly what he deserved to see in those big, pretty eyes of his. Sooga seemed to feel the exact same, as he leaned down, and pressed his forehead against his. For a moment, he was calm, still.
“I love you. More than anything. As such...I refuse to let your heart, or your loins, long for another.”
Translation? ‘Your ass is fucking mine’. This was right before Sooga put one hand on his chest, and the other on the headboard, continuing to slam his hips against Kohga. He couldn’t stop him (well he was strong enough to, but who the fuck would stop a BEAST like this?), and that’s how he liked it. He liked the force of his thrusts, liked the way the bed seemed to complain from the force, and loved, absolutely loved the feeling as hot seed was pumped into his insides. Kohga greedily raked his fingers down his back, finding himself cumming almost completely on time with Sooga. It had been SO long since that had happened, and it made poor Kohga’s body tremble. He sat there for a moment, letting Sooga finish emptying his balls right into him. It took a lot out of poor Sooga, given his panting, but his hips didn’t completely stop, instead settling for a nice, slow roll into Kohga.
“M...master Kohga? I’m...sorry.”
“Fucking hell Sooga, don’t you DARE apologize here, you ANIMAL.”
Kohga chuckled, wiping his face underneath his mask, finding himself drenched in sweat. Sooga shook his head.
“You don’t understand. I uh, do believe I broke the bed frame.”
Kohga was a bit too buzzed to fully understand, before it clicked. He leaned over a bit, and sure enough, Sooga broke three out of the four legs underneath his bed. What a feat. Kohga tossed his head back as he laughed, pushing into his shoulder.
“Oh, you were NOT kidding! Damn Sooga, look at you! Though you’re a big boy, shoot for all four next time.”
Sooga lightly shook his head, sighing. He could tell he was amused in his exhaustion.
“You’re relentless, Master Kohga, truly.”
Sooga’s finger danced up his chest, before he flicked his chin.
“The other Blade Master could do it.”
Sooga’s firm hand pushed onto his chest, nearly knocking the wind out of Kohga.
“You enjoy me putting me through trials, Master Kohga. You really, really do.”
“Oh, bite me, big boy.”
Sooga’s voice got nice and low, making Kohga nearly swoon underneath him.
“Is that a challenge?”
Something told Kohga, that Sooga was ready to prove himself as the best of the best.
Even if it took many, many more attempts.

Hmmm...just thinking about Zeus...and how maybe MC and him would act in his route...I imagine MC feeling love but not knowing what to do because he’s a GOD. THE RULER OF THEM!! And she thinks he has feelings too, but doesn’t bring it up to him and they both act softer to the other during this important case. And she would go to Alex but...what would they say? It’s Zeus she’s falling for. So where does she go?? Aphrodite. The woman she hasn’t seen in 10 years, the woman she has grown to be fearful of even if only 10 years ago she was never afraid to be by that woman, but she goes and talks to her. Gonna send in two asks bc OOF THIS IS A BIT LONG.
Second part: They both get a bit emotional (MC is still distant at times) and she helps MC with her love issue and says that Zeus is definitely in love with her (she snitches on everyone-) and then the end of the route and Zeus and MC kiss the second time and this time MC starts it because her feelings are finally in order😌. Zeus has been stuck in my mind and I needed to share it to someone. I see Zeus as becoming Soft™️ and everyone notices it😌. I have so many headcannons oh my GOSH. I might post about them...hmmm👀? And I have more details then this HWBABSB.
ughgnghhh I LOVE ZEUS and zeus route talk (if only we could get the real thing---)
i rlly love the idea of mc approaching aphrodite about it LMAO, in  this house i stan a meddling love goddess >))))
sarah if u post more abt it............ u kno to hmu bc i wanna read it  👀

Oof, how would the other LoV members react to Shigaraki having a girlfriend that's kind of like Rangiku in Bleach? A gorgeous, curvy women who is motherly-sisterly but is a complete badass when it comes down to it? How would Shigaraki even meet a woman like that and have her be almost like a simp for him. Its Shiggy-lovin hours over here 💕💕
oh my heart.........
listen iT’S ALWAYS SHIGGY-LOVIN HOURS
IN THIS HOUSE WE STAN ONE HANDYMAN I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
also this ragtag bunch of misfits??? THEY FUCKING LOVE EACH OTHER OK AND THEY DESPERATELY NEED A MOM
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ATSUHIRO
Well! He wouldn’t call this a surprise, but whatever it is, it’s a pleasant one! It really is about time that their leader met someone like that. It seems to have happened fairly quickly that they’ve become an item, so Atsuhiro remains aware and available to either of them for advice just in case things are moving a bit too fast. (Tomura in a relationship, after all? The boy is very inexperienced and things could easily go badly.) He’s a perfect gentleman to (Name), and enjoys her company. That she not only applauds his tricks and can hold her own in battle certainly doesn’t hurt. He’s very excited to have her around!
Tumblr media
DABI
Damn, it’s about fucking time. How long did it take Tomura to figure out he needed to get laid? Hah. All in good fun, of course, because Dabi does hold some sort of weird level of respect and care for their leader, so it’s nice to see the guy happy. Or, what passes for happy in the League, anyway. (Name) isn’t slowing them down at all despite her gentler tendencies when she’s not fighting. Having someone around who can bring a soft touch to a group of villains who haven’t been soft in ages isn’t half bad. Also, she doesn’t call him ‘Frankenstein’ like some uneducated people, so she’s okay in his book.
Tumblr media
HIMIKO
Oooooh, this is so incredible!!! Maybe she could have… just a little, itty bitty, teeny weeny bit of (Name)’s blood?? The thing with Himiko is that her having a relationship with this woman is going to be sort of complicated. She doesn’t see the other woman romantically, because (Name) is in a relationship with Tomura. Not only is she not available, Himiko views her in more of the same light as she views Magne ― like a big sister, or even a mother figure since Himiko’s at odds with her own parents. But Himiko still wants some of (Name)’s blood. She just doesn’t want to see her hurt and bruised. She kind of just likes the fact that this woman doesn’t judge her and will happily cuddle with her even while Himiko rambles about blood and things!
Tumblr media
JIN
That’s… crazy! Well, it might not be so out of the realm of possibility. Pff, who is he kidding? This is nuts! Part of him can’t imagine Tomura, someone with a burning hatred toward almost everything and everyone, in love with someone. The other part of him can’t help but acknowledge how incredible it is that someone like their leader is still capable of being loved by someone, still capable of loving if it’s the right person. It makes him wanna vomit sometimes with how cute (Name) acts toward Tomura, but also… it gives him hope. If someone like that can find love despite his issues, then why can’t Jin, eventually, find love too? Plus, he likes how (Name) is always checking up on everyone and caring for them. It’s like they all… have a mom now. It’s a nice thought.
Tumblr media
KUROGIRI
At the very least, Tomura having a girlfriend who is somewhat more reasonable even than the other villains has to be a good thing. It means that Kurogiri can occasionally leave the man in (Name)’s care and not have to worry that something absolutely disastrous is going to happen. Whereas many of the League’s other members fuel Tomura’s negativity, she doesn’t. She seems to be able to keep a level head. With Tomura Shigaraki, that’s important. Needless to say, Kurogiri has a massive amount of respect for this woman. He trusts her to take care of Tomura whenever they’re together. All the same, though, expect him to be a bit stunned whenever she expresses any kind of concern or affection for him. It’s a mental, “― Oh.”, kind of like watching a computer reboot.
Tumblr media
MAGNE
Oohhhh… she’s just a lot of fun, isn’t she? It’s been a while since a lady joined their ranks and Magne for one is always up for that! She’s always a little bit on edge around new people simply because she has no way of knowing who will or won’t accept her given her identity. That said, she has no intention of pretending to be something she’s not, so anyone who doesn’t like that can go pound sand. It’s different with Tomura’s girlfriend, though, because it’s a safe bet that (Name) has more authority than any of the others. Thankfully, once Magne is able to relax around the other woman, they get to be fast friends. Magne is very used to being big sis, obviously, so to have someone who could be a mother figure to her? Though it’s different, she’s very grateful for that. She also can’t say she hates fighting alongside this woman, because… girl power!!
Tumblr media
SHUICHI
Ah, Tomura better understand just how lucky he is! A girl like that comes along, what, maybe once in a lifetime? It would be a lie to say Shuichi didn’t have the smallest crush on (Name), but thankfully ― for Shuichi ― he doesn’t let it spill over or be visible, and after a while, the infatuation fades. Over anything else, he respects this woman because she’s a badass who will fight for her beliefs and her loved ones despite being a truly kind soul. That’s a rare combination, one that he hasn’t seen very often, something he thinks is possibly the best way that someone can exist. Similar to ‘Big Sis Magne’, he often calls (Name) ‘Mum (Name)’ simply because that’s how he sees her. Good thing his nicknames are endearing, otherwise it could be awkward!
Tumblr media
TOMURA
This woman is just… incredible. She’s like no one he’s ever met before, and he’s constantly in awe of the way that softness and strength can coexist inside one person. Whenever he’s looking at her, it’s as if he’s watching an intricate balancing act. (Name) was sort of a vigilante when he met her, fed up with many aspects of the hero system but unwilling to give up on the idea of helping others. It’s fortunate for Tomura, because somewhere along the way, her sweet nature and tender treatment began to help him. With her by his side, he’s begun to heal, even though it’s going to be a long road. Despite that he often tries to act unaffected by her various romantic gestures, hands down the easiest way to get him flustered is for her to fawn over him. He truly, honestly doesn’t believe he’s attracted in the slightest; having (Name) kiss his chapped lips for half a second only to immediately come back for more, or to run her fingers through his hair while gushing at how pretty it is, or to just flat-out say that he’s beautiful to her? Ah, he’s blushing in half a second.
He doesn’t understand why she stays with him, and he thinks he’ll probably never understand. She could do so much better. But as long as she’s here… he wants to soak up every little scrap of affection she’s willing to throw his way. It’s something he’s never had before and he doesn’t want it to go away. He doesn’t want her to go away.
He’s always going to be grateful to her, because she proved to him, once and for all, that he can do something he was afraid he was never capable of doing: loving someone.

the 100 diaries S1 E13
quarantine diaries: may 26 2020
season 1 episode 13: “We Are Grounders: Part II”
I can’t believe im already at the season 1 finale
starting strong with raven and clarke cauterizing her wound. are they really going to paralyze raven? no wait please tell me that she becomes a cyborg.
ooo the tension between finn and bellamy. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! hmmph. fine clarke be the killjoy and break up the fight between youre boyfriends.
i dont like mama clarke and daddy bellamy fighting and disagreeing. it is not productive for your group of kids especially with the grounders coming. i like that clarke balances out bellamy’s negativity tho. way to stay positive. i could never cuz im quite the cynic if y’all if haven’t figured that out yet 
was that fire and steam scene (3:50) necessary? im not a big outdoorsy person but im pretty sure that that amount of steam of excessive. i mean it did look cool tho and dramatic af
what is this music? what is with all the slow-mo the editing team really be trying to make walking through the forest super cool and epic when it really isnt
honestly these kids are doing better than the adults. cuz its chaos up there in the ark.
shitttt when that grounder throwing star came and killed that guy.
wow they ran back to camp. soo basically the past ten minutes have been useless. like they really be lets move out and retreat then 5 minutes later be like nvm that was a bad idea lets go back to where its safe and we actually have a chance to fight back. and bet bellamy was like I FUCKING TOLD YOU! CLARKE YOU IGNORANT SLUT! *sorry another office reference
Tumblr media
haha finn did a double face palm when clarke agreed with bellamy (7:00)
wow these cuts these editors are just adding new styles.
bellamy’s little makeshift war table is too cute. i wonder if he had individual figurines of himself, clarke, and the other main characters. 
also i feel like raven is highly underappreciated. like she is essentially a one-woman show for all things mechanical and weaponry. literally if raven did not come down from the ark when she did. the 100 wouldnt even stand a chance. i honestly think that they’d all be dead already. however then again it was raven’s idea with the flares that ignited this war so......but who am i kidding if it werent the flares the 100 themselves would have found another way to piss of the grounders and start a war sooner or later
ring of fire. i see that raven also watched finding nemo
Tumblr media
bbq grounders and raven sayin “ill cook them real good” i thought this was supposed to be feminist show so why they keeping raven in the kitchen? jk jk
finn being a noble dumbass. i stan. but woah! woah woah! finn be out here flirting with clarke and raven at the same time. in the same place. right in front of each other. slow your roll mister. 
that awkward moment when the ark didn’t launch. oof. cant relate.
kane touching everyone's hands very anti-corona. but then it was all for nothing. jaha coming to stealing his thunder leaving kane lookin like a fool. jaha giving me captain america vibez rn. also star trek. 
Tumblr media
friendly reminder that chris hemsworth played chris pine’s father
when jaha said “and ill see my son” rip wells rip. the writers did him dirty :(
grounders be confident enough to announce their arrival with their drums. they should be tho cuz this kids. they aren’t reaaaady
raven having a quarter life crisis about she used to always being first and now ending up where she is now. i felt that. bitch me in college is not a good look. but also when clarke said “id pick you first” we love sisters supporting sisters. imagine if this is sparks a relationship between them. like they both realize how dumb finn is and they decide that they should just get together as a big fuck you to finn. 
ooo karma is a bitch murphy. 
i love how anya be a wearing a crown on the battle field. shes a queen and she knows it.
this attack between the grounders and the 100 be like the battle at winterfell in GoT (”the long night”) but just scaled down and with guns. i say this because in both that its seems like an impossible fight but also because its hard to see all the action with this poor lighting
nooooow finn listens to bellamy. thats when you know he’s desperate
wow i can’t believe these kids are actually listening to clarke cuz bitch you know if i saw those grounders coming at me you better your ass that i be running to that drop ship for cover. this kids really do have more balls than me.
they’re playing some hallelujah music while they watch the ark descend to earth. waht? then it cuts to some of the people exploding as some of the ark re enters the atmosphere. may we meet again. 
how the hell did licoln find her in the mist of all this chaos? oh i know. lincoln be that weird ass person that can track a person based on their scent and you know octavia hasn’t showered in days so you know her stench is potent. aaahh the smell of true love. 
aww bellamy apologized about to octavia and his “my life ended when you were born” we love a king that apologizes. really tho. not a lot of male characters apologizes for the messed up things they do/say. i stan.
goodbye octavia may you become a badass next time we meet. 
ooo prettyboy bellamy no and finn too. ooh. i know they have to survive for the plot. but i dont like it when found families get separated 
this was me watching my bois bellamy and finn getting the living hell beaten out of them by the grounders and not making it back to the dropship
Tumblr media
did anya really go in there thinking that she could take on all these kids with guns and no supervision. but i mean if anyone could it would be this queen.
“we are not grounders” i think the title of the episode would disagree with you clarke 
props to that stuntman. that fire looks hella hot.
don’t tell me that the air is sweet. put on a damn mask abby don’t you know that its corona season.
welp there goes my ship between kane and jaha. damn it. i mean i guess they could have a really short (timing-wise) but very loooooooong distance relationship. cheers to you thelonius. may we meet again. pour one out for me.
these mountain men have smoke grenades and lasers and guns and gas masks. modern warfare the writers said.
clarke in the good place?
Tumblr media
van gogh. starry night. is this just random or is there actual relevance/hidden symbolism behind this. cuz if the latter im picking up on nothing.
monty!!!! He liiiiiivveeeees so...
Tumblr media
quarantine ward! Mount Weather?! what the fuck i going on?

My thoughts on folklore
(all my personal stuff will be crossed out so u can skip if you want)
the 1
Giving me strong first love vibes
Highly vibe with thinking you’ve seen your ex when you haven’t, such a frequent experience
V much reminds me of Stan and like, its nice to imagine what could have been without disliking how things are
Like the line about how you should show if you want someone, prevents complacency and I like that, love is work and when you forget that inevitably it falls apart
It’s also kinda nice to realise how many things lead you to where you are - if one thing was different it would all change
Comfy reminiscence
Favourite lyric: in my defense, i have none/for digging up the grave another time
cardigan
feels quite a mature outlook on a relationship
V pragmatic
the first notes, straight into lyrics that just fill me with nostalgia
also like its not denying your feelings, you still feel like an old cardigan but you feel special AS that without changing
Peter losing Wendy is such a good line 10/10
Music vid gets points too tbh
Oof chasing shadows in the grocery line is high key relatable (literally being at uni with my ex anyone)
Stars around my scars now i’m bleeding feels like he’s distracting from the hurt he’s causing, he heals wounds while causing others god this is a mess
Favourite lyric: chase two girls, lose the one/when you are young, they assume you know nothing
the last great american dynasty
Probably one of the closest things to a bop on the album?
the font and background in the lyric vid are perfect
love the juxtaposition with the wedding was charming/if a little gauche and the parties were tasteful/if a little loud - it’s like she’s so close to being accepted but it’s always tinged with disapproval
Favourite lyric: either she stole his dog and dyed it key lime green or free of women with madness/their men and bad habits (the bridge is just stunning)
exile
god what do i even say about exile?? 
Made me fucking bawl my eyes out the first time I heard it
the two perspectives are just so relatable and heartbreaking 
Choosing Bon Iver to collab with?? Perfect, the voices mesh so well and its just gorgeous
the opening verse is very relatable and its so well articulated and Justin Vernon’s voice just really hits home 
the I gave so many signs is high key relatable and i really really feel that
Also just the concept of both of them being left with no home - 10/10, no breakup is seamless
Favourite lyric: like he’s just your understudy - it feels like you’re gonna jump right back in but you’re not, you’ve been recast
my tears ricochet
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace/And you're the hero flying around, saving face - big oooooof, such a good way of showing how victims are expected to be the bigger person and be grateful idk
‘Cause when I’d fight you used to tell me I was brave - This is so relatable, like whenever you cut ties/fall out with someone you love this is such a strong feeling, they’re usually the ones backing you up and now its them you’re fighting with and that’s hard to reconcile
the bridge!!! OMG!!
Favourite lyric: and I can go anywhere I want/Anywhere I want, just not home
mirrorball
Also one that’s close to a bop
And I’m still a believer and I don’t know why - I know its not about disillusionment with politics/humanity but for me it’s very much, I want to believe in the goodness of people but fuck it’s hard
Favourite lyric: you’re not like the regulars/the masquerade revellers
seven 
My favourite song literally from the second I heard it
Like the whole vibe is so very me
and though I can’t recall your face/I still got love for you
Very much reminds me of Sam, I can’t remember that much about him but I can remember how close we were and how important he was to me and I wish nothing but good for him 
Love you to the Moon and to Saturn - sounds like it was written for me at about 7, Saturn was my favourite planet and this was the kind of music I listened to at that age, just v nostalgic
Verse 2 is just my favourite part of the whole song, the melody, hiding in the closet, everything. That youthful naivety really makes me think of my friends when i was little. Even when i had problems with my own dad i desperately wanted to rationalise my friend’s dad’s anger to protect her and she practically did come live with us.
Favourite lyric: And we can be pirates/Then you won’t have to cry/Or hide in the closet
august
Wow this one has about a million and one different meanings for me
Summer fling, being used, reminds me of a CERTAIN SOMEONE, took place either side of August especially with the alcohol imagery
Whispers of are you sure? - first relationship, so good at making me comfortable, let me take the lead
Will you call when you’re back at school? - first relationship, long distance
I remember thinkin’ I had you, both situations, the non-relationship thinking it could be more and the relationship thinking I wasn’t gonna lose him
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets - first relationship, the first time we had sex and just the first times we were able to relax and be open with each other, really nice innocent memory
Favourite lyric: August sipped away like a bottle of wine
this is me trying
Back to December vibes
Also sad vibes, no fixing what you’ve fucked up but you’ve gotta try
I don’t wanna relate too hard because relating to it means thinking about things I can't fix
Favourite lyric: They told me all of my cages were mental/So I got wasted like all my potential
illicit affairs
Make sure nobody sees you leave/hood over your head, keep your eyes down 
Feeling of hiding and being hidden, not sustainable
You feel like you aren’t worth loving, aren’t worth people knowing you love them
A drug that only worked/the first few hundred times 
Hmmmm Patch who the fuck could this apply to????
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me and For you, I would ruin myself
Value yourself higher boy but yes about a certain someone
Favourite lyric: And clandestine meetings and stolen stares/they show their truth one single time/but they lie and they lie and they lie
invisible string
Green was the colour of the grass/Where I used to read at Centennial Park juxtaposed with introducing him to Centennial Park - GORGEOUS, and highkey relatable
A string that pulled me/out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar - it’s always nice to see how relationships that didn’t work out can set you up for a better future
Favourite lyric: hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
mad woman
They strike to kill, and you know I will - yess bitch be angry
And there’s nothing like a mad woman - the notes and the delivery on woman give me CHILLS
The Pre-Chorus is gold, really relate to intensifying aspects of you that are criticised because yeah, fuck them
Favourite lyrics: No one likes a mad woman/what a shame she went mad/you made her like that
epiphany
Does this make me cry almost every time I hear it? Yes
The first verse being about war also makes me think about the mythologisation of healthcare workers as heroes, allowing governments to sacrifice them as martyrs
The melody of the whole song is gorgeous
Favourite lyric: Something med school did not cover/someone’s daughter, someone’s mother/holds your hand through plastic now
the medics are equipped to deal with the practicalities of treating people but not the emotions and not the feeling of not being able to help or even let someone die with their loved ones
betty
I am not sapphic but this gives me major sapphic vibes and I would die for betty 
Give betty all the rights
Such a nostalgic vibe, fearless/fifteen/white horse/love story sound and i am HERE FOR IT
Also lots of red references and i love that
Really like figment of my worst intentions, turns a usually somewhat positive image upside down
In front of all your stupid friends? - really dude?? You cheated on her and now you’re insulting her friends??? What the fuck
Will it patch your broken wings? is a pretty line though
Favourite lyric: Would you tell me to go fuck myself?
peace
Natural assumption is that it’s about finding peace with a partner, i really like that it’s the opposite, committing to a relationship despite the chaos, despite the lack of peace
But I would die for you in secret - in the age of social media knowing someone has your back whether or not others are watching is so important (yes this sounds very pretentious i just mean like knowing that you’ve got that person no matter what is so important)
Favourite lyrics: Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other/Family that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother
hoax
The vibe is just very calm and melancholy and i rate that
I am ash from your fire - this is such a good rep of toxic relationships, defined in relation to your partner, burnt by their bright flames, left behind
Favourite lyric: You knew it still hurts underneath my scars/from when they pulled me apart/but what you did was just as dark

Tower of God Episode 3: Live Thoughts
- KHUN’S PAST FLASHBACK! WE GET A FLASHBACK FROM KHUN’S PAST... AND IT’S BOTH OMINOUS AND CONFUSING AS FUCK! Yay?
- Who is this Maria? Also, from what I managed to understand: This “Choosing a girl as a princess for who knows what and those girls that aren’t chosen are exiled along with their families” or something sounds really shady and dystopic. What the fuck happened to my boy?
- ...Or was Khun’s family royalty and this Maria, whoever might be, betrayed him and got the whole family exiled to become the new princess, hence the people saying “They lost the battle”? JUST WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, MY BOY?
- What happened to Khun’s sister? Is she dead? Is she inside his case somehow, Nezuko’s style? Is she dead and inside the case?
- “The moment we show weakness, we die” “You can only trust yourself” That’s some really shitty advice to give to a child, lady.
- Khun’s mom sounds and looks like she’s either just a poor woman who has gone through the worse shit imaginable or a new participant for the title of Worst Anime Parent Ever™. Heck, she might even be both, complex character writing and what not.
- The sky and the stars are just legends to nearly everyone now, and the sky the characters are seeing is a replica... Oof. Was this world always like this or something horrible happened to make it that way? So many questions!
- “I doubt the real sky actually exists” That line right there sounds really heartbreaking, or maybe that’s just me. 
- Creepy weird rubber man is creepy and I don’t like him. 
- “You don’t need to thank a fluorescent plastic bag” I LOVE THIS BOY SO MUCH!
- “Abandoned son of the Khun family” HUH? So he was abandoned? How and why? What was this betrayal all about and who did it to him? WHO HURT YOU, KHUN? 
- ...Wait, does this means Khun is his family name and not his first name? His sister was calling him Aguero in the flashback, too. 
- Wonder if both Rachel and Maria (Both girls that have only appeared and/or just been mentioned in flashbacks so far) having biblical names is meant to be meaningful or symbolic of something... Or if it’s irrelevant to the story and the author just chose those names because they were pretty. Still, it is a coincidence I wanted to point out.
- Also, I love how Rak was all about throwing hands along with Khun and was disappointed that it didn’t ended in a fight after all. I love you, you dumb alligator.
- It’s probably nothing, but the Director’s design, as well as the other workers of the Tower look like Rachel, as if they were related. Blonde hair and golden eyes... I wonder if it means something.
- Getting vibes from “The Pit and The Pendulum” in how we are not shown exactly what’s inside that golden pit or what exactly happened to the participants that were thrown inside it after falling the test... But we know by the characters’ reactions that it’s absolutely horrible. Not sure if that really makes it scarier than if they had shown us corpses burning in lava or something, but it truly entices the imagination, doesn’t it?
- WAIT, THAT’S MARIA? WASN’T THE WHITE-HAIRED GIRL HIS SISTER? IS MARIA HIS SISTER? WHAT THE FUCK?!
- Maria was his sister and his lover... I need to sit down for a moment. That’s some big oof right there. What the fuck.
-...well, his half-sister, but does that really makes it better? AND HOW OLD WERE THEY WHEN THEY STARTED DOING THAT AND ALL THAT OTHER SHIT HAPPENED, HELLO???
- Khun, Aguero, whatever your first name is I don’t care... You really need some therapy, my poor boy. 
- “Don’t trust anyone” PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE THIS POOR BOY A HUG!
- RAK, YOU STUPID SMART CROCODILE MAN, I LOVE YOU!
- Khun’s reaction is hilarious and makes me want to hug him even more.
- “Don’t you want to protect those eyes, which don’t know doubt?” Even this dude ships them, lol. 
- WHAT’S INSIDE THAT BAG?
- Shibisu, aka the tracksuit guy, is actually smarter than he looks. Can’t say I’m surprised.
- “I hope you get to see the real stars with Rachel” THE FEELS MAN, THE FEELS!
- We get to see Rachel... And she’s busy killing people in a deathmatch like the one on the first episode! Not sure if that’s supposed to be scary or badass, but yeah: This girl a damsel in distress she’s not.
-That one dude who made a group of people fight to the death until only three people remained despite it going against the test rules looks pretty happy and remorseless for what he did, acting like what he did was just like cheating at an exam and just acting worried when he learns that he and his co-workers could end up executed for his actions. I hope he dies.
- I like you, Shibisu. Welcome to the main cast!  Please don’t die.
- What is that banana drink and why does it look like beer? lol
- The chibi Baam wearing the crown while the chibi Khun and Rak defend him has to be the most adorable thing I’ve seen in this anime so far.
- RACHEL, WHY ARE YOU HIDING? This side of the plot is going to be frustrating to watch, huh...
- Anaak is both smol and badass, I stan. She and her partner really should stop dismissing poor Shibisu, tho.
That’s all for this episode. I’m going to need some time to digest everything I just saw...
