Agatha had tears in her eyes when she told Rio it’s over. I swear every time she says something that hurts her Agatha’s heart breaks a little, but she just doesn’t know how to stop.

[blaithnne]

my timephoon hot take is that the episode was literally fine, it's the episodes that came AFTER it that fucked things up

[sydneys-adamu]

I know for sure I am the only one who didn’t realize

• carmy has his panic attack that the thought of sydney alleviates

• carmy asks about syd’s mom and finds out she’s not alive

• sydney tells carmy she doesn’t want to share his attention

• syd lovingly makes an omelette for natalie

• sydney pours her heart out to carmy about her fears of failure

• carmy promises he won’t let sydney fail and they both admit they make each other better

• carmy gifts syd custom chef whites

• carmy gets trapped inside the walk in and proceeds to desperately call out for sydney

all on the exact same fucking day. the. same. day.

christopher storer I am actually in your walls

ALRIGHT EPISODE 8 REWATCH LETS GOOOO heres your kajii-exclusive post about it from the perspective of someone who's been madly in love with him for several years, its not gonna be coherent at all so buckle the fuck up :)

firstly i want to say how absolutely blessed we are that kajii's entrance scene gets those shots where you can only see up to the first half of his face, that's the good stuff

also this bit right here has been my wallpaper occasionally, i think its hilarious

also i want yall who have not read the manga to know that despite in the anime (both sub and dub) kajii asks "What color is you blood?", in the manga the question is actually "What color is your death?" which is a much more interesting question than the anime made it. which. i need this man to elaborate on, because the thought is so fascinating, PLEASE please infodump about it im all ears

BTW I LOVE IT WHEN HIS GOGGLES ARE ILLUMINATED?? WHAT A GUYYY i could go on a whole rant about how much i love his silhouette scenes where all you see are his goggles and smile but alas thats not for this post, its mostly manga related, but this scene did do it very well

look at his lil surprised face as well, its there for a split second then its gone

NOW THIS. THIS IS QUALITY. many many thoughts about it pardon me ma'am, lemme get that man who's annoying you off of you and onto me instead- COUGHCOUGH COUHG

he's precious and i love him and his kill count as of this episode is 32

:D

an elaboration on his kill count if anyone's interested: 28 from the Maruzen building bombing, 2-3 (im counting three) civilian deaths on the train, and the conductor, who was killed with a silenced gun (as seen in the manga). now keep in mind this is the countable stuff. he's most DEFINITELY killed more than 32, especially if he's been with the PM for far longer than kyouka. given his methods, i want to guess somewhere in the hundreds but we just don't know

here i'll put the stitched-together scenes i've done of this episode as well

first one was only two frames put together, kinda blended and made more visible, and the other one is just multiple frames stacked

[itsmarsss]

IGIHGHG i can't help but want to know the status of reader/blitz and reader/stolas post full moon 😭😭😭 this haunts my everyday life and they might just lock me up for it for real

just even a crumb of one of the dynamics or readers touhgts would sate me PLESPLSPSLSPLSPLSPSLPSLS[PLS

omg lol they’re a messssss

we’re gonna have a lot of different confrontations between them regarding what happens in full moon!!

the full moon and post full moon chapters are called “big decisions” and “…lead to bad decisions” …. so do with that what u will lol there’s gonna be so much self sabotage from blitz and reader

blitz and reader’s reactions to stolas confessing are veeeery different but both hurt stolas in some way. blitz hurts them too so they’re both mad enough at him…. to attend a blitzo sucks party perhaps…

im messing with blitz a lot too… like if he was already insecure abt being left out… then he’s got a big storm coming

also verosika!! reader has quite some conversations with verosika !!

[evevoli]

girl if i click on one more long video essay about a show/movie i like and it turns out to be a plot summary i'm gonna end up on the news

[sophfandoms53]

I wish Hazbin had more than 8 episodes this season bc 1) the pacing is all over the place (outside of episode 4) and 2) it would’ve been so nice to actually see when and why Alastor started to genuinely care about the hotel.

The pilot and the first episode of the show characterize him as sticking around for the entertainment because of how silly the idea of redeeming a sinner is to him but then episode 5 has him fully backing up Charlie’s wishes for the hotel and even tells Mimzy she’s welcomed to stay if she actually wants to try redemption and was upset she had put the hotel in danger with her presence.

I think that turnaround in Alastor’s perspective is so interesting but when did that happen? Why did that happen? How did that happen? What made him care?

He clearly still has ulterior motives, there’s 0 denying that given his scene with Husk in the same episode, but he does seem to actually care about Charlie and her hotel. Which can be connected to the leash Husk claimed Alastor is bound by but Alastor is also the most distant from the cast.

We never see him around everyone for more than a few minutes at a time. Everyone went out to the club in episode 6 but Alastor is nowhere to be found in the entire episode.

That bond with anyone in the hotel, even Charlie, that would explain Alastor’s sudden support in the hotel has not been shown on screen and I really wish the show had more time to do that.

That’s really what Hazbin lacks. Time. Time to slow down and just let the characters breathe. Everything is moving so fast because they probably didn’t know a second season was coming until later which I can understand but that also means the plot takes priority over the characters and a majority of the cast is suffering from it.

Angel’s the only character who’s gotten an episode solely about him and exploring, expanding, and developing his character and his bonds in the hotel are what we see the most. This makes sense given he’s the main guest in the hotel but no other character has been able to have their own character and arc be explored the way Angel has.

The show needed more episodes like Masquerade to explore the cast before diving headfirst into the Heaven vs. Hell redemption conflict. That was always going to be the direction the show went in but they needed so much more time to do it because there are so many characters to juggle and so much is happening. Big moments that are supposed to matter don’t hit as hard as they should bc the cast is overstuffed and everyone is fighting for screen time.

This isn’t the teams fault, they’re doing a decent job with the limit time they were given but 8 episodes is not enough time for a show this ambitious with everything it’s trying to do. Doubling the episode count to 16 would’ve done wonders for the pacing and the show could slow down and take its time.

A lot of what Hazbin presents are good ideas. It’s all interesting but none of it is given enough time because the big Heaven and Hell plot has to take a majority of the shows focus. I do hope season 2 fixes this but that’s also gonna depend where the show is going after season 1 is over. We’ll see next week.

My main wish for the show going forward is each character gets their chance to be explored just as Angel has.

I honestly do think people often confuse being deeply uncomfortable at a depiction of certain triggering topics with bad writing. If a certain graphic scene is explicitly shown, that does not necessarily mean that the act itself is being glorified. We also only have 10 seconds of this clip being passed around- we do not have the full context for the episode it’s apart of. A lot of people are casting judgement way too soon. There is still a possibility that the scene itself is handled with more tact than we’ve seen so far.

I, for one, am all for bringing awareness to these events- no person is the ‘perfect’ victim. People deal with their traumas in their own ways, and some times it’s a little fucked up- the last thing people need to do is shame them for it. And that’s all I’ll really say about the reaction to episode 4 of Hazbin, once the full episode comes out I’ll do a more in depth take. And my opinion may completely change- but right now this is my stance: it’s too early to say anything.

Separately, though, if you are someone who has gone through a trauma like this and you don’t care for the depiction of it- that is completely okay! Your feelings are 100% valid and I am not shaming you for it. But there are some people who do like how it was presented and we should not invalidate their thoughts and experiences because they have a different opinion. Both sides can be civil about this situation- I genuinely ask that everyone be empathetic towards how others may feel about it. Feel free to chat if you want to discuss more, I’m more than willing to have a civil conversation with people on all sides (as long as you also approach with an open mind).

❗️Disclaimer ❗️

I made this at 2 A.M so please excuse any spelling mistakes 🙏🙏

So recently I watched Sk8 The Infinity and….. it was a hard watch for me to say the very least. There were so many parts that made me just wanna die inside, specifically the parts with Adam in them, I don’t think there are words to describe how much I dislike this character. His behavior towards Langa as well as some other characters throughout the show is… concerning.. what concerns me the most is how little his actions are acknowledged in the fandom, I’ve seen so many people defend him or just glide over his behavior completely. While I do believe ( in most cases) we shouldn’t let a character hold us back from enjoying a show, I also believe there is a limit, Adam passes that limit many times. From touching up on langa in the earlier episodes to him saying he’d fall for Miya too once he “blossomed.” Again, sk8 the infinity itself isn’t a bad show however characters like Adam make the experience a little more iffy

“Oh he had a bad childhood!!” That’s no excuse for him to act in a sadistic inappropriate manner towards MINORS, please remember that langa is what like 17 and Miya is like 12-13, which just makes his comment even worse. He’s a grown man acting inappropriately towards children there’s really no excusing his behavior. Another thing I’d like to mention is how he literally GROOMED Miya, he was so weird to multiple characters, it didn’t matter their age yet some of you sit here and make excuses as to why he acted the way he did and why he did the things he would do!

I really wanted to love this show, the plot was so unique and different from most anime’s, but it’s definitely not something I would re-watch at least not anytime soon. I definitely found characters I liked and there were many scenes that resonated with me.. but again, it definitely isn’t something I can see myself going back too.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk 🙏

was just rewatching Jack Saint and Patricia Taxxon's video on Mauler (it's called "Long Critique Is Not Deep Critique" and it's like actually so fucking good) and was so taken aback by hearing Twin Peaks music in there now that i've actually seen Twin Peaks lmao, that Laura Palmer theme is so fucking good, Angelo Badlamenti is just truly on another level, i already wanna rewatch the show now (S02 is good, y'all are just cowards).

a guy asked me to explain why i found dinobot and depth charge’s death sad enough to cry about and i gave PARAGRAPHS ON PARAGRAPHS. this man had the audacity to say “transformers is not something to cry on lolll. It's not like a sad romance movie or something it's literally just robots that turn into cars lol”

Thinking about my OCs again while watching cartoons and how much information I have stored about them at all given times

[wren-kitchens]

im literally so glad depression did not take my sense of humour away because if it did I would literally just be angel from buffy and I cannot think of a fate worse than that
