#it just happened to be what i wanted to rewatch at the time and i decided to kill two birds with one stone so to speak

[theunholyvirginemilyprentiss]

In the case of Canon vs. Jemily, I submit to the court:

A GAY JEMILY ESSAY WITH SUPPORTING GIFs BECAUSE I’M UNHINGED —>

Holy SHIT, I did not realise just how SUS early seasons Jemily were?!? When I first watched the show in 2015 I was 12. I didn’t know I was gay yet and wasn’t watching the show through that lens. Rewatching now, the way JJ behaves around Emily and Will and the way she talks about homosexuality is INSANE, especially in episodes 3x16 and 3x17. Take a seat, I’mma break it down.

Will and JJ’s chemistry was pretty… flat. JJ barely seemed interested. Will himself said JJ had “one foot out the door of this relationship.”

Their interactions are SO uncomfortable. JJ refuses to tell her team about their relationship, and I noticed that when they meet again on the case in 3x16, JJ makes a point to look at Emily when she clarifies that their relationship is purely ‘professional.’

I mean come on, Emily seems to find Will more appealing than JJ:

JJ doesn’t even want him to touch her, it actually pisses her off even though, as Will points out, they’re at the crime scene of his murdered friend and he obviously isn’t going to use this moment to make a move.

This case is about gay victims, and JJ seems to relate to it so strongly. What really made me go ‘damn,’ is that right after JJ admits that she wants to break up with Will:

IMMEDIATELY after this conversation, JJ goes inside to talk to Hotch suddenly having an epiphany about the case, SPECIFICALLY how the victims felt. She says to Hotch, while on the verge of tears:

JJ: You said in the profile the UnSub was targeting gay males, possibly due to his struggles with his own sexuality, right?

HOTCH: Right.

JJ: Well, what if the reason Luvet let his guard down is because he could finally… be who he is? No judgements, no fear. *She zones out for a few seconds.* What if the UnSub is seeing a freedom in his victims that… he wishes he had himself?

COME ON. That is an INSANE epiphany to have 2 minutes after practically breaking up with your boyfriend.

But wait, I’m not done. Because we’ve all seen that GIF set a hundred times at the end of this episode where Emily says to JJ “you should go for him,” and then Emily IMMEDIATELY regrets it and walks off:

It’s almost like JJ needed Emily’s permission to be with Will. Like she was subconsciously holding out for Emily and her saying ‘you should go for him’ cemented in her head that her and Emily couldn’t happen. Working a case where the UnSub and the victims were being punished for being gay, it really feels like JJ eventually went with Will because she felt like she was supposed to, not because she was in love with him.

The excuse she gave to Will for why she didn’t want to reveal their relationship felt so weak as well, that ‘if people know then it becomes too real and people get hurt.’ Like, miss girl, that excuse is weaker than a nun’s piss, come on now.

In 3x17 one of the first scenes is in JJ��s office. She has chosen Emily to confide in about a stalking case, coming to her before anyone else on the team—weird, since Emily has only been on the team for a year, and Morgan literally specialises in obsessional crimes. Those two are together the whole episode, but it is the cliffhanger that was crazy.

The episode ends with Emily of course in JJ’s office, making sure she’s okay. JJ watches Emily leave her office sullenly, and then retreives a doctor’s note from her desk once she’s gone. She calls Will, and reveals she’s pregnant. And she does not seem all that happy about it. It gives the impression of this being the final nail in the coffin—she’s stuck in this relationship now, and she knows it. Emily has walked away, and she’s left with Will. I had to cut out a 10 second long longing stare from the GIF below because the file size was too big 💀

Upon rewatching, it really feels like JJ got cornered into this relationship with Will. Rewatch those two episodes and you’ll see what I mean. It’s just… so weird.

The defence rests.

Word Count: 1.1k

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

This morning was like any other. A chilly, seemingly monotonously repetitive start of the day, with the sun barely rising above the horizon. The type of morning where nobody would like to peek from under their warm and cozy duvets, because that would be equal with coming back from Morpheus' embrace.

The day didn't even start properly, the sky was just turning into a smooth gradient of navy blue and orange. Most people were still soundly sleeping in their own beds, but you were awake, taking your usual route of morning run.

The little habit that you developed over the years, as you found comfort in the daily dose of activity, away from all that hustle and bustle. Being on your own, with no-one but your music blasting through the old headphones was always something that gave you a peace of mind, whenever everything started to feel overwhelming once again.

After all, what a sane person would wake up and run through the empty roads of Los Angeles' suburbs at 6 AM? That's exactly what you've thought the moment you approached the old bridge, the same you usually run through, and the same one where a fatal car accident took place just a few weeks ago.

You saw her, you saw the girl standing on a stone wall that served as a railing for the aforementioned bridge. Was she going to jump off? Even if she didn't, she sure looked like she was about to. The horrific sight made you stop in your tracks. You looked around your surroundings, to make sure that it's just you and her, before you took hesitant steps towards her. You could hear the rapid heartbeat ringing through your eardrums, the sound was almost deafening.

The girl stood still, staring at the deep river that was set very low from the bridge. The distance between top and bottom was significant, the perfect one for someone who wanted to end their life successfully. She was just in her sleeping clothes, a puffer jacket thrown lazily over her shoulders. She was standing on the cold concrete with her bare feet, and the morning breeze messed her shoulder length hair up. But what caught your eye first about her appearance, was the color of her hair. Raven black locks, with dyed neon green roots. You knew this hair color all too well.

"What are you doing?" You finally said after long seconds of analysing girl's body language. The sudden words coming from you clearly startled the girl, because she rapidly looked your way, her eyes wide in shock that someone approached her out of nowhere.

"Billie O'Connell?" Your voice continued, and with the second you said her name out loud, the surprise turned into annoyance.

"My god..." The girl scoffed under her nose, but loud enough for you to hear. "Please, go."

"Well, I don't think that's very-" You began, but before you could even finish your sentence, Billie interrupted you, cutting your words off with her own. "Just go!" She raised her voice ever so slightly, but enough to leave you stunned.

When she tore her gaze away from you, to once again glue her eyes to the depths of the river, without thinking much you started climbing the wall to stand next to her. You stood straight, looking down at the running water below you, clearly mimicking Billie's action.

"What are you doing?" Her delicate voice brought you back to your senses. A wicked smile creeped its way onto your face, and when you made eye contact with her, the silly sentence pushed itself on your tounge.

"I asked you first."

It was followed by an innocent chuckle that escaped from your throat, as you looked between the girl beside you and the abyss beneath. "It's higher than I thought."

Billie watched you with unimpressed expression on her face, clearly annoyed with your presence on the bridge.

"Hey, look what I can do." You lifted one leg, stretching your arms out to the sides. You tried to balance yourself on one leg, but your posture was unstable, and it seemed like you would fall at any given moment.

Then something seemed to shift in the way that Billie looked at you, and you could see the look of horror in girl's ocean blue eyes. "Stop." She said. But when you didn't react, shs decided to yell. "Stop!"

She clearly has panicked, which made your smile disappear.

"Hey, Billie." You said to her softly, as not to startle poor girl any more than you already did. You slowly but surely reached your hand towards her, and you jerked your head to the side, silently asking her to step down from the edge with you.

You could see in her eyes the inside turmoil, and you weren't sure if she'd take on your offer, but after long agonising seconds, she took your hand into her own.

Her skin was soft, much softer than any you had occasion to touch or hold. You held on tightly to her pale hand, and without saying much, you helped her back down to the street.

Neither of you said much at that moment, but the interaction between you and the girl you saved on the bridge had burned into your memory for good, the image playing vividly in your mind even when you were on your way home.

Only an hour or so had passed, yet everything was happening as usual. It was finally time for the first lesson at school, and both you and Billie showed up as if nothing had happened.

Watercolour-eyed girl acted as if she hadn't been standing on the edge of the bridge some time ago, wondering whether or not to end everything that had been troubling her lately. Billie proudly walks through the hallways of the old high school building, head held high. However, for those who paid close enough attention to their surroundings, even at first glance it was obvious that this was just an act to fool everyone.

When she opened her locker, a familiar face emerged from behind her. "Hey." Billie's best friend Zoe said, her voice sweet as always.

"Do you plan anything on this weekend? My parents will be out of town, and I was thinking about throwing a party."

Billie's eyes landed on the other girl's silhouette, but before she could even respond with any believable lie, a glimpse of your familiar figure passed in front of her sight.

Zoe followed the way her friend was looking, and her own gaze found you. The infamous delinquent of high school, standing in the distance, watching them both.

"Billie, are you okay?" The taller girl questioned her friend with dyed hair, as she watched you dissapeared around the corner of the crowded hallway.

The Handmaid's Tale Rewatch: 2x08

This has been in my drafts for a while. I almost deleted it with all that's happening right now, but I felt like releasing it since I spent time with this rewatch. I'm not going to continue them past this episode right now. Maybe eventually, but probably not. We'll see.

The subtle details from props in this episode are depressing af. You see another physical example of how Nick has completely lost his safe/personal space with Eden there. He doesn't even know where his cigarettes are. And when he's looking for them on the shelf by the bed, you see how all his personal things are gone (his photo with presumably Joshua is gone) and all of his books have been removed, plus the record player. It's heartbreaking to imagine him just methodically, silently taking all his personal things away from what used to be his (and June's) private space...

I love this voiceover quote from June: “Stay in Gilead long enough and it starts to eat you from the inside out. That’s one of the things they do. They force you to kill from within yourself.”

There's not much Osblaine in this episode, but we do have that amazing little hand holding moment when Nick comes to tell Serena and June that Fred wants to see them in his office. June walks by Nick on the way up, and she grabs his hand reassuringly as she passes. It's such a sweet little moment, and then Nick stays there after she's left, looking sad and tense for her.

This episode also has Nick yelling at Eden about the Jezebel's letters when she cleans his apartment and finds them. I remember there being some controversy over how he handled that, but personally, I think he had to turn to what he knew would get through to her - to be the Gilead man in charge in that moment - just so she would listen to him, because that's the language Eden speaks, sadly. And she's not showing signs of rebellion up to this point, so Nick has no reason to risk trusting her here. It would endanger the whole house, not just Nick, if Eden did read the letters and/or report them. The way Nick holds the letters in his palms at the end of the scene like they're precious gold is such a wonderful detail too.

What's your favorite moment from 2x08?

My file of this episode is not the most crisp, so forgive the less than ideal screenshot quality here...

Thunderbolts* Spoilers

My Thoughts on Thunderbolts*

So I watched it last night, and the main thing I came away with at the end of this movie was that I need to rewatch it. Not because I loved it so much but because I think I need to understand why everyone else loved it so much.

Don’t get me wrong, I think this is a good movie, but I don’t see why everyone so overwhelmingly has shown it so much love and saying it’s the best movie since endgame.

That being said…

Let’s start with the positives:

This movie looks great and had a clear vision that I really appreciated. I think the opening and the first action sequence were so well done. The fight Yelena has in the hallway and we see all their shadows from above was a great way to foreshadow the void and I loved that whole sequence. I liked voids character design a lot and seeing Yelena crash through the different void rooms was super cool.

The performances of this movie were also so phenomenal all around. Florence Pugh and Lewis Pullman are definitely the standouts and really help deliver the core ideas behind this movie that I really appreciate. Their characters’ connection with each other is also great and I love how it’s established early on and doesn’t feel forced or anything. Yelena specifically had great moments, but the scene with her and Alexei towards the end was such a great moment for both the characters and definitely one of my favorite scenes of the whole movie.

Also Wyatt Russell as John Walker does such a good job that I have to appreciate because I hate Walker as a person but love him as a character due to the writing and portrayal of him.

This movie’s portrayal and discussion around mental health was overall well done and very thoughtful. It really elevated the story and made it feel like so much more heart was put behind it and there was a clear direction with an intent to say something meaningful, especially considering the world we live in today, than I think we have seen in some of the recent marvel projects.

The dynamics between the characters hit really well, whether they are arguing with each other or actually getting along. The scenes when they are in the vault and are escaping not only highlight their own characters including their flaws but also how entertaining they can be together (even if we are missing a couple people then).

I also like where this sets us up for the upcoming projects and seems to connect the universe a bit more again (drawing on CA:BNW and leading into F4 to do so). The meta commentary about being aimless and then finding a direction is also kind of fun too.

Now going into the negatives…

While I think they handled the topic of mental health and the depictions/description of mental health with care, I think in the end it felt very surface level, especially with the ending.

First, we needed to see at least one void room from all members of the team. If there would have been more sprinkled throughout the film, like Yelena’s and Walker’s early on, then it wouldn’t have been as big of a deal, but we didn’t even get that. I think a cool sequence could have been done that bounces from character to character as they fight through their void rooms that offers greater insight into each individual character and could have provided an opportunity to create unique parallels and transitions between the characters and what they undergo in each of their rooms.

Going off this point, I loved seeing all of these characters but some of them felt underdeveloped. Top of this list (besides Taskmaster, rip) is Ava/Ghost. I did rather enjoy Ant-man and the Wasp, I just think it’s a forgettable movie. So going into this movie, I was really excited to see her and I do think what we had of her was great, but I wanted more. Out of all them, they make the most vague comments about her past despite her latest (and only) appearance happening the longest time ago in 2018 compared to 2021 like the rest of them. They also dive the least into this past as she doesn’t get a void room and doesn’t get a personal moment talking more in depth about her life. While being a villain in ant man, we do not see her do the same caliber of bad things that the others do. She might have had a bit more control over her past actions in comparison to Bucky or Yelena, but we don’t really see as much her flaws. Her killing Taskmaster shows this bad side of her more, but also is just a cheap thing to do overall.

Taskmaster’s death was incredibly predictable and incredibly lazy. I’m guessing they saw the negative reaction to her character after Black Widow and thought they needed to do something with her and this is what they decided. I appreciated how Yelena was affected by her death, but it still just came off as a way to get rid of Taskmaster’s character without engaging meaningfully into it, especially when she would have been such an interesting character to explore in this movie considering its themes about mental health, dealing with past trauma, and second chances.

John Walker did receive a void room, but never seemed to meaningfully engage with his past and how that was effecting him now. His wife left him and took their kid which we find out after he has been saying he a family to go home to throughout the movie but never follow much up on that plot line. That’s just kind of it and he’s like it sucks but I wanted to see greater fallout and just more.

Bucky was also incredibly underused. He sort of abandoned his congressman route halfway through the movie for seemingly no reason. We saw him struggle with it and be more of a soldier/fighter than congressman earlier on, but he really just leaves it in the dust. I was hoping to see maybe more of why he became a congressman, and we can makes guesses like he is still trying to make things right and so he thinks he can through this, but given what we’ve seen of him, congressman seems to be a big leap. I don’t want it all spelled out for us, but just a little more behind why congressman was the path in the end would have been nice.

He also seems to be doing the best out of the crew which I am glad, especially considering how happy he seemed at end of tfatws, but I wanted to see more of his struggle again since that is so much what this movie is about, which brings me to maybe one of my biggest gripes with the movie.

I think the idea that in actuality you are not alone and that is what can help your mental health, especially when you are in a really dark moment is nice, and I liked how they didn’t just have a big fight to win at the end. However, it comes across as surface level because in the end it feels like it happens so quickly from being pulled from your darkest moment, it feels like they just fix it with that one hug, and besides Yelena, none of these other characters seem to have a great enough connection with Bob.

As for the lack of connection, I think it could stand to mean that if someone is struggling, you don’t have to know the person to make a meaningful impact in their life and maybe save them from themselves, and I like that. As I was watching, however, it felt like they were trying to convince me that they all cared for Bob and his wellbeing rather than what they actually should have been thinking that this is the way to stop the void from expanding. Up until that point, Walker continually insulted Bob, Ava seemed indifferent, and Bucky and Alexei had hardly met the guy. Yelena had that connection with him and I really like the first part where she hugs him and tells him she’s there and he’s not alone, but the rest of the characters don’t have the same connection to make that meaningful. Maybe others took it as the first way I described it more and I do like that interpretation, it just felt to me more like they were trying to tell me they actually cared for Bob.

Also, I think it was Walker who physically stopped Bob from punching his void self which was disappointing because so much of mental health and getting better has to come from yourself, so it would have been much more powerful to choose to have him stop instead of being pulled away and I remember in the moment feeling so disappointed because they didn’t do that.

Then, in the end credit scene, Bob talks about how he can’t really be sentry without void coming too, hinting at how that hug didn’t fix everything, but it is such a minor moment that instant engaged with in the overall film enough. He also talks about how there are good moments and bad moments earlier in the movie, but we never really see this in action so it’s hard to really take into meaning.

This overall makes it feel such a surface level dive into the themes of mental health they are trying to accomplish. Mental health doesn’t improve in a day, even with all of your friends, family, support system behind you. It’s a journey filled with ups and downs and I don’t think that comes across well at all in this film even if they are trying to deal with themes of mental health in a meaningful way.

I think this makes the way Bucky’s character was handled even more disappointing. Not that I wanted to see him suffer more or that should that define his character, but he would have been the best candidate to showcase how he was struggling again even after he seemed to be improving the last times we saw him. Maybe a flashback scene or a void room that shows how he was at a high and then crashed down a little and he’s sort of in the depths of it battling again, or at least was at some point.

Overall, I think this failure to interact with this topic on a deeper level beyond the fact friendship can help improve your mental health, and save the day lol, (which I think is valuable to talk about and worthwhile) it doesn’t engage enough with the nuance of that for me to absolutely love it.

Since it had such a great heart and idea/intent behind it makes it so much more disappointing to me as well. I appreciate what it was trying to do and I recognize it for its efforts but it fell flat for me. Other marvel projects in the past i don’t always see the same critical engagement on topics like this (although i think there is a lot more than what is given credit for), but it never feels like they were trying for that so I’m not disappointed when I don’t get that. This movie actually feels like there is more behind it and it just doesn’t quite live up. I think it also hurts that I had such high expectations for this movie, which is my own fault I admit, and that everyone was shouting its praise that when it didn’t live up to my expectations, I was a bit disappointed.

Also, Yelena is the main character of this movie, but it does not fully commit to being her story or a story about the team, leaving it failing at both.

There is so much tell instead of show in this movie. Maybe that’s part of the point since so much about mental health is internal, but since it was also about loneliness, so much could have been done in scenes where characters are alone. I don’t want to be told Yelena is struggling with her past, grief, and lost in what she’s doing now, I want to be shown that. I want more of her day to day life before her world starts to change. She tells Alexei, the audience, and Bob how she is feeling and what she is going through, but we don’t get to see it until the void rooms. The scene where she sees herself passed out in the bathroom is so well done and shows us that this is what her life is like now. Too bad it happens after she told us that already and in the last half an hour.

Then they try to dive into the other characters’ stories but since so much time is devoted to Yelena, they only scratch the surface like I said earlier. Now, we have slightly more interaction with Yelena’s life and brief interactions with the other team members, and so they all feel underbaked. I would have liked them to be more evenly considered (although I do have to say again, Florence Pugh did such a great job though at the helm of this film).

I’m thinking about the first avengers film, and whether you liked it or not, we spent time at the beginning of that film giving space to each of the og six avengers and introducing them separate from each other in such a flawless way before bringing them together. I think something like that could have really helped this movie. (Or really lean into Yelena as the main character more, I just think one of those two needed to happen).

Ideally, I would have liked to see this team one more time before doomsday. I think it would have given us more time to see some of this background before dumping them into a movie with a billion other superheroes where I’m guessing nothing that meaningful can interact with the characters in terms of development of their characters besides plot just happening to them and they react. If we had another movie or more time with them, I think I wouldn’t be as disappointed at this either.

I’m also really just excited to see them as a team and working together. I think one of the biggest mistakes since endgame has been the fact that they have not had another avengers movie since that point. This movie helps with that and brings a team together so I feel like we actually have people that can fight and it will make sense when they come together before coming together in Doomsday. Fantastic Four and this end credit scene also helps with that, but what about Sam’s avengers? We get reference to them but we don’t actually see them and won’t have seen them until doomsday I’m guessing. What about the young avengers? In The Marvels end credit scene and Daredevil Born Again, it definitely seems like Kamala is setting up that team to some extent. I don’t think any of who would be on that team was in the casting announcement, but we know they’ll be more and I would find it disappointing to see this set up (even though we actually never get to see them together first) and get done without payoff.

Overall though, this film does make me excited for the MCU’s future and making things more connected again and I do love all of the characters in it. I think now that I know what this movie is about more, I could enjoy it more on a rewatch and just appreciate it for it is. I do really want to like this movie as much as everyone else seems too.

(I also have no idea what to rate this because I’m so conflicted so I’ll give it a 🍪/10).

IT'S THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE GAME! :D

To celebrate, I want to talk about the process of making it and answer some questions you might have.

1. How did you get the idea to make this game?

To understand the story better, one thing you need to know is that I've been a long-time fan of Buzzfeed Unsolved and Ghost Files, so as I as watching the latest episodes, I would sometimes think "What would Ryan and Shane do if they went to the tulip field? And what would Tulip do if she saw them?"

In Tulip's character sheet, it says she dislikes ghost hunters, "except the ones she watched when she was alive". I wrote this to imply that she was a fan of Buzzfeed Unsolved (canonically, she died before Ghost Files was announced, so I imagine she would be very confused at first if she saw Ryan and Shane coming to the field).

I originally thought about making a illustration titled "Dead Shaniac fangirling from afar" (yes, ironically enough, Tulip was a Shaniac when she was alive), which was basically going to be something like this:

But then, I realized it would be weird to draw my OC interacting with real people, so I discarded the idea (I was also worried about drawing him horribly).

Around the same time, I was coming up with ideas for Tulip's lore and I was very excited to share them. The problem though was that I knew it was going to take a long time to make the character sheet and the necessary illustrations to complement the pieces of lore and I was busy with other projects (the novel and the palette challenge).

It was then when I saw a post giving a list of free game engines and, among them, was Twine, which I was familiar with (I don't remember how I first learned about it, but it was through YouTube). So then, I thought about making a interactive story to show how Tulip would react in the presence of a ghost hunter or someone coming to the field for other reasons.

Since I wasn't going to draw my Shane fanart, I decided to make the main character of the game a Ghost Files fan and reference some of the tools used in the show (I rewatched some scenes to see how I was going to describe them and how they worked).

2. Why did you choose Twine to make the game?

I chose Twine because it was free and I didn't have to download it (I have an old computer, so I don't have a lot of storage left). Also, I wouldn't have to draw anything, which was good for me.

3. Why doesn't the game have any music or sound effects?

Since I have no experience in coding, I chose the Harlowe format in Twine, which is the recommended one for people like me (you still have to write code, but it's not as advanced as the others). However, the main disadvantage of Harlowe is that it's very difficult to add music. The tutorials I looked up were confusing and, according to some people in the comments, outdated. Also, said tutorials explained that you had to make a separate website to put the music and sound effects there and then put a link to said website in the code, which was something I was not willing to do.

I wasn't that mad about it, though. My mind at that moment was like "Relax, it's not an actual game; it's just an interactive way to present lore. Only your followers are going to play it".

4. Do you plan to make more games in the future?

Maybe, but after I post enough art and lore about my other OCs (so probably in five or six years, haha). My idea is to make these games to show "plot events" (there isn't actually an overarching plot, but all my OCs share the same universe, so they will interact with each other sometimes and interesting things will happen to them every now and then).

However, most of these future projects will be very challeging and tedious because I will actually have to draw everything (character sprites and backgrounds).

Since I won't be making any games for a while, I might as well share some ideas I had (I don't plan to make these in order):

The first one, which is the most ambitious one, is a visual novel or dating sim featuring Liliana, my succubus OC (don't worry, it won't have any mature content). The premise of the game will be that you will have three months to make her fall in love with you before she is forced to consume your soul. For this game, I would like to try out Ren'py to add visual elements and because it might be easier to add music there. The difficult part of this game will be writing an interesting protagonist (what could motivate Liliana to not kill this guy?).

The second idea is a game where you play as Paloma, my witch OC, and have to venture through Hell to rescue Saúl, the demon she's in love with. Ideally, I would like to make this a short RPG game, but if I can't find any free alternative to RPG Maker, I might work around with Ren'py to give a similar experience.

The third one, which is the most recent one I had, is an interactive fiction/horror game that focuses on the strange encounter between "two" of my OCs. This one will be easier to make because I'll use Twine again; but it will be darker than "The Tulip Field".

That's all I wanted to share. Thanks to everyone who played the game and thanks to everyone who brought attention to it! If you have more questions, feel free to ask me in the comments.

I made a Twine game!

Far away in the countryside, there is a large tulip field where people go to have some time for themselves. It is a favourite place for some people because of the sense of calmness and freedom it gives them.

After hearing about this tulip field, you decide to go there without telling anyone. Whether you are going there to do your favourite hobby or to take a break from your stressful life, you are guaranteed to have a good time. However, you are not alone.

This is a short choose-your-own-adventure game I made on Twine. The only advice I have to give you is to be patient.

NOTE: there is flashing text in one part of the ghost hunter route. The text isn't big or bright, but I want to give a warning, just in case.

I made this game to introduce the ideas I already have for Tulip, since I take too long to finish illustrations. Some of these ideas will later make more sense after I post more about her. Feel free to share your thoughts and/or interpretations.

THT S6 prediction under the cut

Josh Charles is playing Commander Judd and Serena marries him thinking she’s going to make a difference in Gilead but she ends up being the first wife he bluebeards…

Keeps the general audience happy because “yay Serena is finally dead” and there’s also the poetic justice of her finally being hoisted by her own petard (thinking she can reform Gilead and that she’s above it all when the country is an absolute cesspool and she never stood a chance)

So basically ATLA brain rot has hit me like a truck

[magicaldragons]

the promise.

deva knew exactly what he was doing when he made that promise to Varadha.

Only for you, when you call me, I'll come back.

That promise, even though it was made for Varadha, was Deva's selfish desire to tie Varadha to him – to make sure Varadha wouldn't be able to leave him within the past.

Deva knew that Varadha was the realistic one of the both of them, the kind of person to put his head down, understand a situation, and accept the constraints he had to live within.

Even as a child, Deva understood so well that, if he didn't leave a life line for Varadha to hold onto, Varadha would force himself to accept their separation, and wouldn't strive for more, especially with how self-sacrificing Varadha was.

Deva's mother asked Deva to forget Khansaar – asked him to let go of everything associated with the place – and Deva knew that the situation they were in would require Varadha to forget Deva's existence too, for Deva's sake and his own.

Deva offering Varadha that promise was his only way of saying, 'I won't let you forget me.' and it worked.

The seed Deva planted within Varadha functioned exactly as Deva knew it would, and it definitely tempted Varadha countless times to call for Deva. It kept the idea of Deva being a part of Varadha's future alive in Varadha's mind.

Of course, Deva didn't count on Varadha holding himself back for twenty-five years, but it's why Deva was so confident Varadha would definitely call for him at some point.

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.

I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.

I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??

Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.

Rewatching 97 because I just need to get on with it but GAWDDD at this point I'm literally not watching all the rogueneto scenes IT'S SO UNCOOL 💀💀💀💀 ERIK WOULD NOT DO THAT WTF DISNEY

things I wish I could relive for the first time again:

that magical window where you finish a new piece of media, having watched/read it all by yourself with no fandom contact whatsoever, and you are just so happy about it, and full of interesting theories and takeaways, and just in love with it as a gorgeous piece of art.

because I swear to god as soon as you join the fandom for anything, you're bombarded with how you're supposed to view characters and their arcs, how you're supposed to morally and ethically judge the plot and the ways it apparently failed to present the right message, and if you don't you'll either be shunned for not sharing the popular headcanons or you'll be harassed for not criticizing the source material enough.

like how is it that the fans of a piece of media are also the ones being the most negative about it? If I like a show or a movie or a book, well, I liked it. That's kind of the point. I'm actually not here to tear it apart and talk about how it didn't live up to standards other people had! I enjoyed it for what it was, and forcing myself to find negative things to say about it doesn't actually bring me more enjoyment of it or reap any benefit to me. Fandom's a double-edged sword; you want to join a community to share your love for a piece of art, and the price you pay for a modicum of joy is a mountain of negativity. that's one main reason that I never engage with fandom until I'm completely done with a show, because if I was plugged into all of that commentary and discourse during the process, I'd be completely colored by how I'm expected to interpret everything this piece of art is presenting to me without being able to even form my own opinions.
