TWIN FLAMES PART 6

≪ masterlist ≫

SOCIAL MEDIA AU, 18+ MDNI

baby!daddy!rafe x pogue!reader

warnings: swearing, child drowning, cpr being performed

summary: You and Rafe were the couple that no one saw coming. The kook king and the pogue princess falling in love was a shock to the whole island. The pogues questioned your relationship, the kooks despised it, and Ward took extreme measures to tear you two apart every chance he got. It was only a matter of time before the pressure caused the relationship to break. The constant arguing, the yelling, it all became too much. Rafe turned to drugs and you isolated yourself from everyone until there was too much damage to repair. But life has a funny way of bringing two souls back together. In this instance, in the form of a three year old little boy.

part 7

Notes: no bc i actually teared up writing this one. i would go to war for this family you don’t understand. we will be finding out what actually happened next chapter, poor little theo is traumatized at the moment 🥺 also the pool scene is highly inspired by oth iykyk

Rewatch Rambles (tm)

Season 1

Flowers for She-Ra

Ok I do have to admit that this is a really funny moment, but the cool part about most jokes on Spop is that you can actually learn a lot about the characters from them.

Adora legit panics at being in front of an authority figure she has no idea how to please. You can see Angella actually feel really bad for her for a second: she sees that little kid trying desperately trying to stay on the authority figure's good side so she doesn't get punished, but eventually, the hurt she feels over the Horde's actions override this compassion and she dumps it unto Adora, bc she is a product of the Horde.

I always forget the rebellion is so recent. Like we're talking about a one generation war here, and I also forget that Angella and Micah were the founders. It's kind of a nice nod to Micah wanting to fight against the Horde ever since he was training with Light Spinner, but after seeing what the spell of obtainment did, he went another route to do it after becoming disillusioned with magic.

My blorbo absolutely blaming herself for the death of Micah even tho she was like 3 when it happened and blaming herself for not knowing when she arrived to bright moon like a day ago. (quite literally a day ago, we know this is her first night in the castle)

Adora looks absolutely TERRIFIED, and like honestly, Angella is kinda absolutely threatening her here, so I don't blame her. It's just a repeated pattern in Adora's life: authority figures expecting perfection, otherwise she'll get punished for it.

She also internalizes "do not disappoint her as "do not disappoint me "

Which is one of the things I love about this show. There is SO much miscommunication due to trauma in this show, it's actually insane. Like I've said it before, but the entire conflict in Catra and Adora's relationship can actually be boiled down to how they each misinterpret what the other is saying over and over and over again due to their upbringings.

Another thing I love about this show: how they subtly show character's upbringings and social manners.

Glimmer freaks the hell out bc Adora just appears on her bed, but Adora doesn't really see the big deal bc there was no privacy in the Horde. It makes sense for her to just go up there. She was also probably like "well Catra and I were best friends, and Glimmer and Bow seem to like me a lot and also I feel really freaking isolated right now, so Glimmer won't mind if I just sleep on the foot of her bed like Catra used to do for me right?"

This poor girl is just trying so hard to get on Angella's good side and be of service. Knowing about her traumas and how deeply she has internalized that she has no inherent value, these scenes become really hard to watch.

I'm sorry, as a fandom, we truly do not talk about Catra's mrrp here enough. It is the best noise she ever makes in the show and that's counting all the "hey adora"s and purring. THERE I said it.

You know what's fucked up? The fact that Catra is so optimistic that SW will finally recognize her worth now that Adora's gone. She misses Adora like crazy, but she's also felt like she's lived under her shadow for so long, that it's also really nice to have a chance to prove herself, even if it isn't enough, bc it's never enough for SW.

I always wonder what the hell this drawing is??? Is it a drawing Adora made when she was a kid?? Like did she draw this when she was younger as like a dream she had and just glued it to her locker? Or is it a drawing the horde soldiers made mocking Adora and belittling her betrayal? Maybe the latter makes more sense. Either way, lots of questions.

I do like the show, don't tell of "I've told you everything I know about Adora" and then noticing that drawing and crumpling it, bc Catra is still trying to protect Adora by not telling SW about She-Ra.

The way she FLINCHES :c It breaks my heart to think of how many times Catra has been physically abused.

AND THEN SHE IMMEDIATELY GOES TO CHECK ON HER WHEN SW's IN PAIN, GOD.

It's a mix of Catra genuinely having a really big heart, but also wanting your caretaker to care about you so badly that you're willing to try just about anything to get that affection. This all happens so fast that it's very unconscious though, Catra can normally pretend that she doesn't care about SW's affection or recognition.

Loaded ass phrase in the middle of a gay ass buff jock moment, this is peak She-Ra right here.

Ppl don't really understand that when I say "she-ra is the gayest show I have ever watched" I not only mean "the protagonist is a lesbian and she saved the universe by loving her catgirl gf and kissing her" I also mean bc of moments like this. Like this is gay culture. As a certified buff dumb jock, seeing Adora do shit like this and constantly challenge Sea-Hawk to arm-wrestling literally means so much to me bc I be doing that shit unprompted at any given moment.

Again.

Gay culture.

Also I think about that She-Ra close-up constantly, I love how androgynous she looks here. Absolute gender.

Honestly, rewatching S1, they got away with so much shit. Like pretty much every woman who sees she-ra has a crush on her, it is SO funny. You can tell that after princess prom, the execs were like "please,,, you can't keep getting away with this"

The implications of this are really interesting actually. If this isn't a myth and it's instead a legend, I wonder if Mara and squadron Grayskull actually did go to beast island at one point and tried to dismantle it or something. Would make for a cool one-shot.

It’s interesting Glimmer says to concentrate really hard bc it’s the opposite of how she ra gets her healing powers. She gets them by relaxing and moving through her fear, almost entering a meditative state instead of directly focusing on them.

It's so upsetting how she is unable to recognize how unfair it is for people to be placing all of these responsibilities on her when she discovered she was She-Ra like, yesterday. And Bow and Glimmer eventually recognize this and reassure her, but they're still not the best at it. She will probably always ask herself if they would have become her friends if they met her as Adora, not She-Ra.

She has been raised to be perfect at everything she did, on the first try, or get love and recognition taken away from her, so the only thing she can do is get mad at herself, because she has been taught that she deserves it.

Rare Adora acting W.

Completely obsessed at how Bow is mimicking her to appear intimidating LMAO

Glimmer looks so hot in armor, that is all.

I love the intentional dealing-with-a-homophobic-parent language choice here.

This is genuinely so sweet and thoughtful of them honestly. It's really painful to see the juxtaposition between Catra's isolation and loneliness with Adora becoming closer with new friends, though. I know she meets Scorpia (who is a bit too enthusiastic), but it's not like she is in a position to truly accept new friendships outside of Adora anyway.

Oops I thought this was going to be a shorter one bc I was like "it's flowers for she-ra, how trauma packed can it be, really?" I should know better, I've watched this shit 10 times dude.

my top 5 favorite book wolfstar moments

this is all for funsies. I'm going to be very honest here: I don't really think wolfstar is implied in the books, but I feel like if I put my shipper googles I CAN prove that those two were, at least, a bit weird about each other!

1. Remus "ideals" going askrew for Sirius:

We have two moments in the books where we see Remus being pretty ruthless when it came to the war, he thinks that if there's a way to put a enemy down then you should do it:

prisioner of azkaban, chapter eighteen:

"You should have realized," said Lupin quietly, "if Voldemort didn't kill you, we would. Good-bye, Peter."

deathly hollows, chapter 5:

Lupin looked aghast. “Harry, the time for Disarming is past! These people are trying to capture and kill you! At least Stun if you aren’t prepared to kill!”

However, when he was talking to Harry about Sirius reciving the dementor's kiss this is what Mr. Lupin has to offer:

prisioner of azkaban, chapter twelve:

[...] Lupin drank a little more butterbeer, then said, "It's the fate that awaits Sirius Black. It was in the Daily Prophet this morning. The Ministry have given the dementors permission to perform it if they find him." [...] "He deserves it," [harry] said suddenly. "You think so?" said Lupin lightly. "Do you really think anyone deserves that?"

This makes me actually go bonkers like... When he found out it was Peter all along he was full on ready to kill him but when he belived it was Sirius doing the same damn thing then suddenly no one deserves it... christ we see you remus lupin, we see you...

2. Moving in thogeter

I don't even have anything to say for this one just.. *gestures vaguely*

Order of the phoenix, chapter 6:

[...] and Lupin, who was staying in the house with Sirius but who left it for long periods to do mysterious work for the Order [...]

It's so funny cos like... he didn't need to do that... no one else is staying there even though it's the order's HQ.

And we know that as poor as Remus is he does have a house (Sirius stays there for a bit at the end of GOF) so he just... moves in... just because. yea.

a little extra scene that it's kinda funny, imagine finding out your teacher and godfather are dating by calling said godfather and said teacher picks up... lol :

Harry opened his eyes to find that he was looking up out of the kitchen fireplace at the long, wooden table, where a man sat poring over a piece of parchment. “Sirius?” The man jumped and looked around. It was not Sirius, but Lupin. “Harry!” he said, looking thoroughly shocked. “What are you — what’s happened, is everything all right?”

3. Remus is Sirius' good boy

Okay I will try not to ramble about this one but... I can't help it. He quite literally calls Remus a good boy you can not make this shit up.

Order of the phoenix, chapter 9:

Sirius, who was right beside Harry, let out his usual barklike laugh. “No one would have made me a prefect, I spent too much time in detention with James. Lupin was the good boy, he got the badge.”

I think what drives me insane about this one is that even though Remus had the same sense of humor as the other boys (although his was quieter and dry), they were a bit different. Sirius himself says that Remus would make them feel ashamed of themselves sometimes and, of course it depends on how you view Sirius, but to me I feel like he is a person that doesn't really put up with things just to please someone and so I feel like if it were a random person he would just go like "Well if you don't like what we do fuck off I guess" but since it was Remus he doesn't get annoyed at all and it makes it seem like he has a soft spot for Remus:

Order of the phoenix, chapter 29:

“Of course he was a bit of an idiot!” said Sirius bracingly. “We were all idiots! Well — not Moony so much,” he said fairly, looking at Lupin, but Lupin shook his head.

likeee that's his boy!!

4. Giving harry a joint present

You see, this one is very funny to me bc I was watching Sex and the city a few weeks ago and there's a scene where Carrie takes Mr. Big as her plus one to a wedding and of course she asks him to put his name on the present and he just. refuses. He has several commitment issues and even tho they were together for months at that point he thought a joint present "was too much".

And naturally my first thought was "oh wow that's so crazy bc in the children's book series 'Harry Potter', harry's godfather and teacher gave him a joint present without second thought". After moving in together. yea.

Order of the phoenix, chapter 23:

Sirius and Lupin had given Harry a set of excellent books entitled Practical Defensive Magic and Its Use Against the Dark Arts, [...]

how does that makes you feel mr.big

5. Intimacy

Last but not least (literally I think this is my favorite?) three moments that I think it shows us just how close those two are. Not even romantically, but in friendship too.

Order of the Phoenix, chapter 14:

[...] said Sirius with a wry smile. “I know she’s a nasty piece of work, though — you should hear Remus talk about her.”

We know Remus is a Nice Guy. He does everything he can to maintain at least a civil relationship with the people around him (save moments of distrees and his little cynical comments in poa, of course). And so the fact that he has a little "can I be mean?" moment with Sirius is just so funny... I just know Sirius supports all Remus' moments of haterism <3

Order of the phoenix, chapter 5:

“Molly, you’re not the only person at this table who cares about Harry,” said Lupin sharply. “Sirius, sit down.” Mrs. Weasley’s lower lip was trembling. Sirius sank slowly back into his chair, his face white

Order of the phoenix, chapter 29:

“I’m coming up there to have a word with Snape!” said Sirius force-fully and he actually made to stand up, but Lupin wrenched him backdown again.

I know people always talks about those 2 moments with the sense of like... oh wow remus asks and Sirius obeys thats hot and I AGREE it's the same thing I said before: If it was anyone else I think he would go "fuck off no" but since it's Remus he just do it unquestioned.

but ALSO. I feel like it does show how close they are... Close enough to push someone backwards etc those two lived together for more than a decade... they are Close and are used to each other and I think that's beautiful :')

The Last Temptation of Jerry review babeee, let's gooo!

This ep. wasn't advertised as usual by adult swim yt channel, and that was sus, so I was expecting some spectacular stuff or something absolutely crazy, funny and a little silly: it was the second case💀 As usual, I'll sum up my impressions into 3 points, my take in general, the episodes themes I noticed, the sus/interesting details. Enjoy and please share your thoughts or even a little Morty yellow heart, so I can feel more motivated to do other R&M posts 💛 (put on your dark mode ((like, who doesn't have dark mode on??)) to better read my gay, colorful writings ✨).

Okay there be SPOILERS my dudes, beware!

_________My take (I'm part of the R&M cult, so, impartiality)________

First things second: I'm really liking Jerry's arc. While in the first seasons he was really the depiction of a covert/vulnerable narcissists and he used to totally creep me out, he is slowly becoming a much humane and sweet version of a Jerry. His love for cooking, holidays and his family are really heart warming and he really proves how much he cares with actions over words. This Jerry really is more caring and, surprisingly, he takes accountability over his own actions.

This scene was so sweet 💛He recognizes he's scaring his wife and messing up with the family time he wanted so much: he's not defensive or out of control, he’s honest with his feelings and admits he doesn’t know what to do, he needs help. There is open communication here, and that's a healthy basis to make him and Beth work together through this problem as a real couple, maybe for the first time in the show.

He also immediately takes home the Easter bunny after the car accident, trying to help, and he really feels empathy for the creature, even if he vomits on them multiple times (a Jerry's still a Jerry). This is a huge parallelism with what happened with previous Jerry in s2 ep 1, a Rickle in Time, where Jerry hits a deer and promptly proposes to leave it there without providing first aid for the poor baby. Even the location is the same! But this time the scene takes place in the middle of the night.

Morty being a silly little guy is really something interesting to see: just like the Blips&Chitz episode aftermath, Morty is never the sharpest knife in the drawer after messing up with his brain: even if something changed in his attitude towards Rick and he seems to be more independent, something’s off with him, he is more superficial and he kinda…regresses? Rick trying not to lose his shit with Morty through the entire episode omg 💀💀

you can tell he’s very immature not to say he’s... a bit stupid 💀 which is great bcs A: is becoming increasingly obvious that he needs to accept reality and stop messing up with his brain B: from a narrative point, is a good way to differentiate Morty from Evil Morty/Arcade Morty, to highlight that the first is still a silly kid while the seconds are grown ass adults.

And now the part I liked the most, bcs I totally fell for it:

If "we're so screwed." was an image 💀

Okay, I know Rick got shot in the head multiple times through the seasons, but you really never know with this f*cking show 💀 I got worried, okay??

And then it got worse...

And WORSE...

At this point I was like "Okay, this is it, we're Cronenberging again. Actually, this is even worst of Cronenberg, great."

This ep. really played with us the whole time: when the situation escalated, I really took that bait sooo hard.

And then the unexpected happened: Jerry finally became one of my new fav characters:

After 7 seasons of me absolutely being unable to stand Jerry, this time I eventually started to like him. That's a wonderful redemption arc, that's a good way to develop a character, that's real change. He doesn't try his best just because he wants to look good, he takes responsibility because he genuinely feels he has to, he wants to. And even if he is just a naked human with no powers or high tech at all, he burst into action and his help is fundamental to fix the entire catastrophic situation. This family is really starting to work together, to fix things together.

This ending was the cherry on top of the icing on the cake:

Not only the entire family is now spending time together through different holidays during the year, but they're doing it purposefully: what matters now is them sharing quality time at their own terms, not some bs that society wants them to do. They really get the message through and through: it's not just abt abolishing holidays, they chose to act instead of following some empty, festive, traditional stuff. They actually recycle instead of just taking part in the Earth day for one day, they actually eat pizza together instead of preparing traditional meals that non one needs, they spend time as they want, when they want, refusing the capitalistic, empty holidays propaganda. I love this topic choice bcs I feel like this is one of our generation "great dilemmas": how do we keep alive holidays in our hearts, when all holidays are based on unjust, bloody historical events, religious dogmas or marketing strategies? In most cases, we grew up in houses with a lot of empty traditionalism from the old generations, we learnt to love the magical festive air, but we are aware enough, we have enough modern critical sense to know that what we had during childhood was, in most cases, just shallow, duty-nonsense, pushed by marketing/politics. So we had to re invent our holidays, to adjust our "quality family-time" entire concept, without having anyone to teach us how to do that. We tried to prioritize feelings over consumerist stuff, but also keeping decorations bcs they remind us of holidays' magic, making our secular traditions over religious old stuff that maybe isn't fitting with who we are now as young adults...

speaking of which: can we appreciate what an absolute menace Morty was by the end of the episode? love it 💀

Another great parallelism I noticed is the small sustainability reference: in Planetina's episode, I was kind grossed out by how unaware and not caring the entire family was about environmental issues. Beth and Jerry completely ignored the problem/not even bother to differentiate, and this lack of interest was of course transmitted to their children, like it wasn't their problem at all. Morty basically helps Planetina just bcs he has a crush on her, not out of sense of responsibility, he in fact proceeds to totally miss how grave the situation is or what Planetina's motivations could be. Morty seems to still missing the point about climate change now, but it's not the only thing he seems to miss during this ep...

Instead, we see Beth and Jerry recycling even the torn flyers, which is weird for them, and good.

I laughed so much at this bcs I could hear the rickorty fans and proshippers screaming in pain lol 💀💀

These two arguing simply had me dying 💀 The Zaslav reference was also gold (he's Warner Bros CEO 💀)

So in conclusion, this episode was just

pure bliss, I liked the characters evolution, I liked the themes, it was thrilling yet a funny break and quite a relief after the whole Citadel ptsd.

_________________Ep. Main themes in a nutshell__________________

Change: Alien Jesus realizing he lived his life poorly, Jerry becoming a responsible adult, taking accountability and being a more open partner, Beth recycling, Rick actively taking part to family activities... change seems to be the recurring theme through this whole amazing s8

"Look, I want to be a good dad, okay?": not only all characters are changing in sync with Rick, they are changing to be the best versions of themselves.

Sex is gross: it's the second episode this topic pops out. Sex is gross so be a clone is better and cleaner, while being a human and having regular sex is weird and messy. Maybe this is how love is, weird and messy. I really dunno where this is going, but this is definitely a recurring theme.

__________________Sus stuff/interesting details___________________

The timeline: I’m more and more convinced that the “Rick Experiment” is the tv show we are all watching, and it’s a simulation (I will make a sus post abt this sus topic sooner or later). The weird thing with this episode is time, as real life time passes following a tv show rhythm. In a couple of seconds almost a year has passed because a cut-scene started, affecting all the characters out of the scene: in fact everyone was stuck in spring break, not only Summer. Everyone is exhausted and it's like their parents virtually stop existing, since no one came to pick them up, as long as the cut scene lasted... The interesting part is that other characters apart from Rick are kinda becoming aware of that…?

Like Beth. And Morty is starting to understand and to accept that there are "off-screens" scenes, just like a Truman-like person, born and raised in a Trumanshow would do, without asking anything abt it...? cool ✌🏼

The Immortal Bunny Spirit: okay this is a huge hint to the lore. If you played Pocket Mortys you know that the One True Morty evolves from some kind of magical Egg. So this parallelism basically explains to us that the egg contains the Immortal Morty Spirit, and that's why there's an entire religion about that thing. Aaand the one True Morty is also veeery sex related so these two cults have a lot in common.

The house reference: it's very sus that Alien Christ's house is an exact gothic replica of Rick's house and that he was gone for 20 years traveling across the stars, just like Rick did, and him realizing that all that mattered in the end was just making love to his wife, just like Rick did... I actually cannot connect the dots yet, but there's surely something I'm missing abt it. sus 👀 and btw I want to live here, I want this house to be my home 😭😭

Okay, all done!!

Kunikida HEADCANONS☆📗

they're sitting in my notes for so long i can't take it anymore

it's mostly silly stuff (*^ー^)ノ♪

- Kunikida doesn't really need glasses (given the amount of time he breaks them and does just fine, when i don't have my glasses i'm walking into walls) they're mainly for rest but he keeps them all the time bcs it makes him look cool

- you know that scene where he's showed as a teacher. it's atsushi imagining him. my hcs is he wasn't actually a highschool teacher but an elementary school part time teacher (or some kind of trainee which explain why he was already teaching at 19-20yo) and he came to give math and science classes. Because there is so many time where we see him being so sweet with kids (aya, that poor girl with the bombs, also in beast that boy he hugs after akutagawa scared him💔). He would be so nice even if he would be strict and would 100% make his students do magic coloring with multiplication and all.

- the fandom often pictures him as some goody two shoes or whatever. he really is not☠️ They mostly think that because he values discipline and excellence, which is only bcs their part of his ideals. He literally hates autority and he'll only follows the rules that goes along with his ideals. You know what that is. Anarchism!!!!

- everyday he waters the agency's plants being unaware they're all fake

- super strict with grammar in texts. he'll send shit like "Dear Atsushi, Can you please take out the trash? Love, Kunikida Doppo."

- during the episode that mention his ideal partner, when atsushi reads the list he seems super weirded out and embarassed, and he mentions a "drawing" Kunikida made, while Kunikida doesn't seem ashamed of it at all. so in my head he probably drew some stick figure with absurdly big boobs or smth. (i know the anime ruined Dazai Entrance Exam but i still like this idea it's funny.)

- sleeps with his notebook under his pillow and freaks out when he find it on the ground in the morning.

- reposts ai videos asking "did that really happen...?😰😮"

- he is autistic and his notebook is basically a list of his ocd

- he was bullied by ranpo when he was still a newbie (it's mentionned in Kunikida and katai magnificient day)

- having kids was on his ideal list. he crossed it after rokuzo

- kenji gives him drawings sometimes and he frames them all and keep them on his desk

- he can't tie a tie for shit that's why he sticks with his ribbon

i have some more about him and others characters maybe i'll post them later ^_^

EARTHSPARK S3: review??? (SPOILERS!)

this weekend I watched earthspark and I have to say something or I'll explode. This won't be a review as much as just some loose thoughts trying to summarise what this series had became.

STARSCREAM I hate what happened with starscream. I wrote an analysis of how this character got absolutely massacred in S2 (you can check it out here). To summarise: In S1 he was such a great character, shown so intriguing with both his not perfect character and his history of being abused. In S2 they made him the villain in an absolutely shallow way, in the final episode writing him in a way that makes him irredeemable. And I thought thats the worst u can do. And then S3 happened, when he appears for one scene to be shown as funny for "being crazy" (WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING WHEN U REMEMBER S1 WHEN HE WAS A VICTIM OF ABUSE THAT NOONE BELIEVED. IS THIS REALLY A GOOD IDEA TO PORTRAY HIM AS HAHA CRAZY GUY). It's absolutely heartbreaking to watch that scene. Starscream gets electrocuted by the very person he opened up to in S1, he was in isolation for all of the S3, he went insane bc of that, and still at the end we drag him to autobot jail. what is this.

PROWL I have no idea how such an intriguing and complicated character from idw that was clearly an inspiration inspired such a dull and shallow character. His process of learning about respect for human allies and terrans is shown so poorely and never feels like being actually resolved, I won't even talk about this. I admire how they did two things I thought were impossible. I thought it's impossible to make IDW inspired Prowl in this show a good guy (I genuinely thought he's going to be the bad antagonist). I thought it's impossible to ignore his weird and complicated relationship with Tarantulas, in a show that had Tarantulas in S1, was created with Nick Roche as character designed and was inspired by The Sins Of The Wreckers specifically in specific places. They did both of those things and it worked out horribly, congrats.

CONCLUSION I can't understand what happened with this season. it's visible there was some cuts, it looks rushed, it lacks any substance, and Quintessons at the end... didn't help the case let's just say. But that isn't my bigest problem. I feel devastated by what happened to the ideals of the show. in S1 we had decepticons in cages, and figuring out it's not actually a good solution. In S2 we saw decepticon as boring usual villains. But in S3 we have decepticons in one big cage again. But this time there is no consideration, there is no doubt. Even if under Shockwave they just want to go home. They should all be kept imprisoned. No matter if they mean no harm, no matter if, like Starscream, they suffered enough. And there is nothing to figure out, that's just how the world works. After all, they are decepticons, right. yes I'm bitter, S1 was just very important to me and seeing what happened to ES is just sad.

How the Lusthog squad kisses their s/o?

Hiii! First of all, thank you for your request! This is the first one I recieved in a long time!

Second of all, since I'm absolutely nuts for that bunch of weirdos, I'll gladly write about them! Pardon my english, but I'm from pizza country and english is not my first language.

This said, let's get started!

Joker

Now, we KNOW how Joker's made

Cocky bastard, absolute menace

And he's a needy little whiny bitch who took drama classes in highschool

So each of his kisses (expecially if in front of people) is always a show

Very dramatic, very theatrical

Like, full on casquet or dramatically pulling you in by cupping your cheeks (like THAT one scene from Brokeback Mountain, we all know which one)/grabbing the collar of your shirt like he's acting in a dramatic movie

But when HE's the one getting kissed oh boy

The man's PUTTY

It's like he didn't expect to recieve the same treatment back (spoiler: he did expect it back, he just forgot that it'd be a real-life consequence)

And he'll smile like he's high and chuckle like an idiot

Because he is. He is an idiot.

But he can be soft at times, like when y'all are alone

And even then he'll probably put on a little show because it's too in his nature lol

Animal Mother

We can all agree this man is not known for his ability of elaborating feelings

He's an animal. It's literally in his name. He works in instinct.

But even instinctive animals know what they like, so it doesn't mean you'll never recieve one

Again, he's an animal, he has ZERO ability of self control

If he wants a kiss, he'll get one

And he'll 99% grab you by shoulders/arms/wrists/hips/whatever else he can grab to reach the goal

He's not a soft guy, nor he wants to be, so expect to probably get lowk hurt when it happens

Grab marks, bitten lip, a bruise on the nose because he forgot to tilt his head on a side (for some reason that happens really often)

If he's the one recieving it then he'll probably need a second to elaborate

Like, his face expression goes blank for a second before looking at you extremely confused

Bc let's be honest that man does NOT expect someone to like him back

I mean he's an animal but he's not stupid, he knows he's scary (even if it's lowkey his objective lol)

And he'll give you one back. Not less violent or impulsive, but a bit more hesitant

Cowboy

Ok this guy is literally my second favorite because he screams gentleman from each pore

And I love that all the people on Tumblr who wrote about him agree on that lol

He'll always ask before giving you one

Which can be pretty funny sometimes because he also asks in. Well. That situation. You know which one.

Like sir?????

But anyway

He's more gentle, like cupping your cheeks, holding your hands (or both or nothing.) or hugging you

And if you're the one initiating it he'll be on cloud nine fr like he's so exited

And that's the only moment when he doesn't ask first

Because he realizes you like him too (I mean if y'all are together he knows it but that makes him more sure about it)

And he probably mumbles something between kisses bc he really can't fully wrap his mind around it

He's lowk a stray dog I love him sm

Eightball

Honestly this guy is so soft

Like, not Cowboy-soft, but soft anyway

He doesn't quite think about doing it, he just does it, it's really random

Also he's a hugger, so expect to have to stop whatever you're doing most of the time lol

Like, walking past you doing whatever? Kiss. During meals? Kiss (more subtle, he's not very exited of letting other people know about his personal business)

He's happy being this casual

And if he's the one recieving it he's just as happy

Like he knows it's a mutual thing and he's chill like that

Absolute king behavior

Rafter Man

This guy is a MESS

He will NEVER initiate one he's too shy for that

His comrades already bully him, he doesn't want to add the embarassment of a "poor performance" on you

Which is impossible because even if it was bad he'd be trying too hard to actually tell him he did bad

But he'll always try to improve (with Joker rooting for him like "NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT" lol)

And if he's the one recieving it then his brain would not be able to elaborate for the next two hours (one and a half if you're lucky enough)

Because he DOESN'T comprehend how someone can be attracted by him (even if it's obvious because I mean look at him he's just a lil guy)

Poor boy he needs some reassurance :(

Reactions to CM 18.4!

I am sure I'm gonna cry again

Okay I gotta admit... this ruse is incredible

Emily emphasizing "we don't" bc she knows at least half the team could not give a FUCK what happens to him

Wheels up!!!!

who are they looking at

JJ! What are you doing here?!

Tara calling her "hon" 😭

Luke smiling bc he's so happy to see his friend 😭😭

JJ why do you sound surprised that Penelope is hugging you???

The way I laughed in victory just at the way Luke said Penelope's name???

And the way he's smiling at herrrrr. Garvez crumbs.

ughhhh this feels like a horror movie I hate itttt

JJ what are you up to???

Ohhhh JJ

Okay so all of you who have been complaining "why didn't they just get Penelope to take BAUGate down" can shhhh bc clearly they DID

"Fucking bullshit" JJ babes even LUKE believes it now. He has amnesia.

I love JJ and Emily's friendship. Yes I said friendship. They're FRIENDS.

"Better than you" emily why on EARTH would you say that

"Am I a bad person?" That is putting it SOOOO fucking lightly

I understand that Ochoa is just trying to do her job but she seems WAYYYY too unfazed by the fact that her patient KILLED LIKE 70 PEOPLE

Emily, Tyler, and Luke on the jet!! Love!!

Oh this reminds me of the episode where the guy was amputating people just to try to learn how to get his wife a new functioning leg

Oh this poor girl has no idea what's happening

Oh so Malcolm wants the skin for his daughter and Brad wants the organs to sell. Fun!

"Please kill me" HEARTBREAKING

her not telling him why he needs a surgeon seems like a bad idea

oh it's a dream okay that makes more sense

"I'm tech savvy enough to push the right arrow key" "You sure are!" I love these two

Ohhh I love those two so much

Voit shaving his hair! Farewell floof!

Went from "Dad" to "I don't feel safe around him"

Where are they??? Why have we not seen what led them to the point of storming a medical facility???

Help why are Tyler and Luke so FUNNY

Penelope being surprised Tyler is calling her AND teaching him manners. Tynelope is so dead 🤣

FINALLY Penelope uses slang in a way that works

I can tell that Tyler is trying to flirt with her but Penelope is like "Kindness! yay kindness!"

Oh this poor girl

Rossi don't fuck shit up!!

"why would I like that?" this is interesting to me. that he remembers liking the kill but that it repulses current him

Shit, Brad's out

Ariel baby DON'T do whatever you're thinking of doing

The sheer horror she must have to realize she is covered in the skin of her father's victims

SHIT ARIEL JUST GOT HER OWN DAD???

Oh Luke just picked her up like she weighed nothing more than a bunch of grapes. I know I have some friends (@lklvz and @mortalscience) who are going feral rn

Oh god she wanted to see the stars before she died 😭😭😭

Tyler I love you SO MUCH

Also, now Luke and Tyler have both had a young girl die in their arms. I wonder if this is gonna be more bonding for them

PLEASE be Luke and not Emily who talks to him on the jet

Emilyyyy you're getting in the way of my bro bonding (I bet luke is just in the back talking to his gf)

Oh Emily did NOT just say "taking some Ls" that made me GAG

Ohhh this is the scene from the trailerrr

Actually a lot from this episode was in the trailer

JJ I'm gonna need you to listen to the doctor

Fffffffucking hell

JJ is Rossi's daughter through and through

Everyone is seriously acting their ASS off this season it's really good

[aardvaark]

leverage rewatch: s1e2 "the homecoming job"

ah yes, the title i always get mixed up with "the reunion job". my brain goes "homecoming" -> some american high school thingy -> probably that episode at a high school right? but no, this is the very pro-military episode that every american tv show seemingly has to do at least once lol smh

i love sophie’s audition scene. weirdly i actually guessed that it would be for some kind of cleaning commercial when i was first watching (she’s dramatically saying "i want to be cleannnn!" but i was thinking "hm, yes, ‘clean’, i bet this is a joke about an overly dramatic reading of a cleaning product ad". and then they revealed it was about soap). which probably speaks to the weird way my brain works, but fortunately my brain is apparently in sync with how leverage works lol. p.s. is the fact it’s a "soap ad" and she’s acting melodramatic a joke about soap opera style acting?

also re: her terrible audition scene, leverage creator john rogers has a cameo as the casting guy.

and third thing about that scene (wow i’m 3 mins in and already off track) i do love watching comedic sophie scenes. like her delivery of "peggy killed her first husband" (peggy being the character in the ad about soap) lmaoooo. this scene reminds me of gina bellman’s character in another show, "coupling" - personally wasn’t a show i enjoyed, but i could appreciate how funny she was.

the guy eliot punched in the throat still falling to the ground while he answers the phone lol.

the idea that parker a) doesn’t have her phone on silent/turned off/away from her during a heist and b) that she would answer the phone during a heist even when a security guard is around, is very funny to me. and she still gets away evidently, so apparently that’s also a completely valid choice for her to make.

sophie saying "don’t you trust us?" to eliot & laughing about it lol. next season she’ll be a bit genuinely offended that eliot doesn’t fully trust her, but she doesn’t know it yet.

hardison’s old nate painting!!!!! iconic. and hardison really is gifted.

"short version or long version?" "short" "short" "shortest" pshhhh poor hardison

first time eliot says "it’s a very distinctive…"

first time hardison gets pushed off a roof (actually, sophie is the first to get pushed off something against her will by parker, which happens in the pilot episode)

i like how sophie’s voice changes a little, even when her grift alias is also british, even when she doesn’t really *need* to do a different voice. there’s still very much a baseline Sophie Voice and then many other voices for each ‘character’ she does. which gives the impression that the Sophie Voice is also just another fake accent (& technically that’s true according to john rogers - in the beantown bailout job, when sophie’s fighting the guys who attack nate in his apartment, her accent changes a bit and apparently that’s supposed to be a hint at her real voice).

when nate’s acting up and eliot says they’ll just finish this job and split up again, they all agree but look so disappointed and sad :( only known each other for a couple of jobs so far but none of them really want it to be over.

it’s adorable that hardison & nate watch parker’s theft. with popcorn, might i add. nate specifically walks over to watch and asks if she’s started yet. it’s sweet that he seems to find parker’s work sincerely impressive, i guess he’s spent years tracking her down and it makes sense that he’d see all the skill that goes into making the theft of something so major (literally stealing a law!) look so effortless.

parker being able to sense that money is real vs counterfeit lmao.

eliot, smiling sarcastically: "hey, what do you got going on? you and hardison? what is it, like a creepy contest??" lol. and hardison looking annoyed vs parker still smiling (she’s having the best day ever bc she found so so much cash)

parker’s "i bought a plant" (bc hardison suggested it earlier) is soooooo adorable i love that moment so much <333 she doesn’t seem to quite know how to say it, she just blurts it out, but he gets it. he’s always understood. agh my heart!!

nate buying a t*sla lol - godddd it meant something very different back then

them all being surprised at the car for 0.0001 seconds before agreeing it’s a midlife crisis and making fun of nate again. love this family.

[xjulixred45x]

I'm trying to be active again and i though: "what could be a better way of coming Back from the Dead than a critique to the soap opera that has become Helluva Boss?"

So here we are. My personal Critique to the episodes Ghost Fuckers and Mastermind.

I'll be honest, i saw both of them in one sit bc i delay seeing Ghost Fuckers SO MUCH that IN THAT TIME Mastermind come out, then i realized i could't keep doing that and accept my fate(seeing the episodes when i was doing nothing importart and Home alone).

AND GOOOOOOOD-

First of all, Ghost Fuckers.

The first half, absolutly GROSS and incredible out of character for many characters.

I liked Millie A LOT in this Episode bc she represented how i was feeling trough this first half, CONFUSED AS HELL AND MAD AT THE BAD DIRECTION OF THE BOSS(vivziepop).

I get it, we are suposse to see this reaction of Blitz as natural and that affect him a Lot, BUT:1-that wasn't Even a BREAKUP(i'll talk of it later) and 2- it's super out of character for BLITZ OF ALL PEOPLE.

if You tell me that Stolas is neglecting His duties after what happen, yeah, i can believe that, BUT BLITZ? The one who all motivación trough the seasons was to keep His business AND employees aflot is not only neglecting His job BUT ALSO USING THE MONEY OF SAID JOB (THAT HE HIMSELF SAID WAS IN CONSTANT RISK OF BANKKRUP) FOR IMPULSIVE PURCHASES???

What the actual Hell.

Even Loona just allowing this and doing what Blitz told her to do feels strange, that's HER PAY TOO, and she just dosen't care or dosen't understand what is happening??

Moxxie is My spiritual animal when i was doing Homework from Collage. The only joke that i find funny in this Episode. Believe me kids, there's nothing more scary than BANKKRUPSY.

Also, seeing that most of our own knolege from Hell is based on Blitz since the Start, it's feels so strange and incrongruent that he still insist on the Ghost theme. Specially when he likes to make fun of humans for those kind of things.

The whole secuence of Spooky Kind of Love just have me...there.

And we got to the second half! Where i have more problems Even though is the Best party of the episode.

Millie blows up and tells Blitz what we all want to Say, he gets offended for no reason, they get diferent ways, Blitz starts allucinate bc of the infester demon, making Even more OBVIOUS His insecurities. Again. For i don't know how many times.

Millie finds him and she tries to make him see that he dosen't destroy everything by remembering how they meet. It was actually a pretty cool scene. We Even get to see more of Millie when she first got out of Wrath, her insecurities, how she was at the job, when they get the IMP Bulding, etc.

Half a point for the develomp to Millie(TWO SEASONS LATE).

they find the demon and he posses(?) Blitz for some reason, and meanwhile Possesed Blitz tries to kill Millie, Blitz has to revive His traumas AGAIN. For GOD sake just leave him alone FOR FIVE MINUTES--

Millie kick His ass, they kill the demon, finished the job, the end.

This is the Best example of the Main problem of Helluva: His Tone problem.

The first half and the shorts, for example, are the characteristic humor of Helluva we are used to, that the people want to see, and just a little bit of lore. And that works ALONE, it's funny, it's dynamyc.

BUT THEN they spit lots and lots of Lore in our faces, Mysteries, Flashbacks, Angst, comfort, ALL IN THE OTHER HALF, and it's TOO MUCH.

Those halfs work on their own, but not togheter. That's the Main problem. And Vivziepop dosen't decide which one want to prevail.

NOW, MASTERMIND

Which of MASTERMIND only has the title

WHY ANDREALPHUS KEEP SAYING THAT HIS SISTER IS HOT?!? SPECIALLY IN A CONTEXT LIKE THAT???!

Stella could have been waaayyy more better for this Episode than him honestly, maybe hiding the fact that Stolas was doing something ilegal SO she can personally report him and make a case as she as the poor Woman who was cheated on(which is not a lie-) and have all the assets of Stolas for HERSELF.

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MORE INTERESTING THAN THE GAY PEACKOWT. But WELL.

The dementors from Harry Potter go to arrest IMP, and they have a trial where Andre says that "Blitzo force himself on Stolas to take possesion of the book" which was funny for me bc is sounded just like the Stolas Stans🤣

They got Striker! He's fine! But he lies saying that Blitz is the one who wanted Stolas Dead(which is another thing that bothers me, WHY WOULD STRIKER HELP THE GOETIA WITH HOW MUCH HE SAYS TO HATE THEM??) and Blitz tries to defend himself saying that if he wanted Stolas Dead he could do it HIMSELF(good point thoug)

Blitz is sentenced to DEATH and is LIVE STREAMED IN ALL RINGS OF HELL AS A LESSON OF NOT GOING AGAINST THE LAWS OF SATAN.

But then Stolas appear and instead of explaning himself like a normal fucking person he starts to sing. I didn't listen to the Song, to much Cringe in one sit. But Stolas take all of Blitz Blame.

BUT OF COURSE SATAN WOULD'T EXCECUTE A ROYAL BC AND I QUOTE "YOUR LIFE HAS ACTUAL VALUE" ARE TOU FUCKING KIDDING ME--

Instead they take away His assets and legions and passed them to... Andre (which is weird, wasn't supposed to be Via? Andre Say it HIMSELF in a previous Ep. But WELL, i'm searching for LOGIC in this show-) and Stolas has to live like a normal Hell citizen for 100 years.

Bascically just turn him into a normal person.

The good side is that the imps start admiring and hiring IMP services more, Even seeing Blitz as a hero for standing to Satán(and honestly good for him).

Stolas dosen't have anywhere to live anymore so Blitz takes pity and they go to His place, he Even bathes him and gives him clothes.

THIS FACE

Brings me so mucho JOY.

and the fact that Blitz it's giving him SPACE, GIVING HIM A PLACE TO STAY, AND COMFORT AND HIS WORST MOMENT, KNOWING THAT STOLAS WOULD'T DO THE SAME FOR BLITZ(bc he NEVER has done it as far as we are in the series), ITS JUST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHG-

I'll pretend the episode ends here, thank You very much.

CONCLUSION:

Episode 10 just make Even more visible the HUGE tone problem with the series, Vivzie dosen't Even know what she want in the series, if it is a comedy or a melodrama. And it end up wasting great opportunities to develomp her characters in each case.

Not only that, but that the torment to Blitz has to STOP, SERIOUSLY, the writers love to make him SUFFER but at the same time we don't confirm ANYTHING, it's a stupid attempt to generate "intrige" and to extend this series Even more. At the price of it's own protagonist.

3/10

Episode 11 feels like Fanservice with a Lot of unnecesary drama. And convenience of the script.

WHY are there the other sins?? Why nobody besides Vasago asked about Stolas or quesrioned Andre?? How could't Stolas Know about the whole trial things before?? WHY THEY ARE SINGING??

And of COURSE, the lesson of the day with this Episode is that if You are power class and Disobay, You get EXCECUTED, but if youre a Royal, You just have to pay taxes now. Fucking. GENIUS. VIVZIEPOP.

5/10( only for Stella and the Scenes with IMP)

Overall, just a soap opera i would recomend if You turn off Your brain.

Shares, reblogs and comments are very welcome!

[icantwatchtvaloneforthelifeofme]

OK ONE MORE EXAM TO GO AND IT'S THE FUCKING FAKE ASS ONE SO I'M HERE AGAIN THEHEHEEEHE but only for one episode bc i do need to go over stuff a little bit, just a teeny bit

s2 ep2 whwihwwhwo

i remember literally nothing

01:42: if uther and arthur didnt go around killing people all the time maybe poeple wouldnt want to kill them as much

02:48: this is actually the stupidest game ever

03:49: stop that's hilarious, the way for them to forget your authority is to use your authority to make them forget it. wow

04:25: oh my god im actually going to start crying he's complaining about having privelage shut up bro

04:40: dude no stop this is not a lightbulb moment you did not think og anything SOMEONE SAVE HIM FROM HIMSELF

05:06: MERLIN WHAT WAS THAT SOUND YOU EMITTED what was that that squeak im dyng

41:50: is this supposed to be the redemption? cause it's fucking stupid and not effective at all. it's literally not even connected to the central character development of this episode

42:23: tere is nooooo way the hcaracter development is just him like gaining common sense? obviously avoid bloodhset that's supposed to be your responsibility as ruler and im supposed to applaud this? fuck thattt

well i think we can say i am thoroughly dissapointed but also laughed out for this episode and even tho the blurb was super interesting i am not wathcing the next one bc apparently i am excercising restraint yayaya

[lingulaca]

Don't you think the way TG actors service their fans is a little off, to say the least? Of course there is essentially nothing wrong with wanting to stay relevant and give their fans some "crumbs", but Olivia reposting stuff about Rhaenicent's dungeon sex, Gayle reposting comments like "If they follow the books, she'll be going down on Aemond" with the 👄 emoji, Ewan saying he likes helaemond and taking pride in asking for having a full frontal nude scene and Tom insisting on Aegon never raping Helaena while drunk (contrary to what we learn from the show) are too much if you ask me. I find it quite disturbing and ironic that Olivia, who, according to her stans , is forced to portray an extremely sexualised charcter, actual doesn't have anything against sexualising Alicent even more, let alone in fact sexualising her co-star. Gayle apparently ignores the character she plays is gonna be a victim of rape and seems eager to service Alys fans who want to reduce Alys to a sexy milf. She also talks stuff about sexual tension between Alys and Daemon (I fail to notice it, although their friendship is quite obvious). And Ewan, parading himself in mesh shirts and saying weird things about a broken boy Aemond who's gonna be fixed is simply annoying. Plus, I'll call helaemond either just a fanon ship (if I want to be nice) or straight up bullshit. White washing Aegon's rape-y ass is just unsavoury and his rabid fanwives are ridiculous

YES YES YES I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH THE THINGS U SAID SOMEONE CALLED ME CRAZY ONCE FOR SAYING THE SAME THING BUT I GET IT

in regards to rapegon, i mean his fans seem to just be coping hard asf especially now (since the dyana scene has already happened, poor girl) and they will jump through SOOOO MANY hoops to try and lie to themselves when the facts are right there

and yes, the push of alysmond and alysmon(? alys x daemon?) is SO FUCKING WEIRD. it feels like they're all missing the point tbh. and i'd rather them be silent than say random tone deaf things to please their freaky ass fans. alys x daemon is odd to me because she basically violated and humiliated him when she made him have that hallucination about his mom, and beyond her freaking him out multiple times they haven't really developed any deep mutual understanding/bond that would make me even see them as acquaintances, let alone bf and gf

the whole broken sad emo boy aemond is such a pathetic sympathy angle probably encouraged by how the showrunners have decided to portray him. "aemond just needs someone to fix him🥺" aemond just needs to kill himself how abt that

aemond's fangirls r funny, i think. fun fact, my mom is one of them 😭 but yeah they have a completely different version of aemond in their head, like in their head he literally is an emo soft broken boy and the show has manipulated them pretty much, it's shocking to witness irl i recommend talking to an aemond fangirl you will not be disappointed

and i agree with you, i have no problem with fan service though, i'll be the first person to admit that the harry collett calvin klein ad🤤, for example, was like totes boner inducing or whatever but certain things that certain members of cast will say r questionableee and it just makes me wonder "why is this the way you feel you have to serve your fans" like r your fans freaks to that extent ?

i personally consider myself a jace or daemon fangirl and i think i'm pretty chill when it comes to characterization ykwim like i don't lie to myself like aemond fangirls do bc their fave is trash.

but anyways about the tg actors, it's so interesting bc they'll do things like that (making statements that show that they don't understand the source material) then in other interviews they suddenly wanna come off as introspective UGHHH🙄🙄🙄 like don't talk to me about plot, subtlety, or themes when u were just reducing all the characters down to your weird ass fanfic that will only ever exist in your head🗣️

[apenapaperandadoofus]

Partttt 6 of my mom reading tgcf

She haaaates human face disease.

When the white clothed calamity got his mask taken away and it showed Xie Lian’s face my mom audibly went “SON OF A BITCH!” (Her, who has been gasping at Qi Rong’s curses since he appeared lmaooo)

Will not stop saying Juan every time he comes up or is in the background and I cry laughing every time. Latam Hua Cheng attacks once again.

D i e d with the I won’t forget scene. Also showed her the animated audio drama and she said “aw the two of them have gone through so much how sad!” And I was like 😀 you’re gonna murder me when you find out what happens in the second flashback.

The names have attacked again. Since Shi Wudu and Quan Yizhen got introduced she is confusion. Also confused Shi Wudu with black water so I had to clarify.

Kept laughing at Ming Yi stuffing himself at the banquet. While funny it’s also really sad when you know why he goes from eating a lot to not eating at all and know the reason 😭

She audibly gasped at the lantern reveal I do not think she was expecting that but she thought it was cute.

Keeps laughing whenever Xie Lian mentions hes impotent. Thinks Mu Qing is the spy and maybe the father of CuoCuo (so close yet so far)

Thinks it’s cute that Xie Lian protects Juan and said “go Xie Lian! Protect your man!”

We started black water arc- she thinks there’s something weird with Lang Ying.

Also didn’t stop laughing when XL accidentally slapped E’ming lmaooooo she thinks they’re adorable

Isn’t suspicious of anyone- tho she was suspicious of Shi Wudu at one point

I also died laughing bc when they were talking about ascending at random times she goes “imagine ascending when you’re in the bathroom, mid poop. You show up and are like ‘I was just in my throne’” and I died 😭

She feels SO bad for SQX like actually she keeps going aw no poor baby and I’m like oh honey, you got a big storm coming

Was flabbergasted and SO MAD when Hua Cheng joked about getting married she was like NO YOU WERE SO CLOSE YOU DUMMY.

Right now she has no theories but she says she’s enjoying the story SO much. She reads a bit alone at night as well but I’m trying to get her to stop at specific chapters to see her reactions to them lol, but she likes it. She says she’s enjoying it so much she’s even dreaming about it 😭

I don’t know how she’s going to react to the whole black water arc but since I hyped up beefleaf and the ship she’s definitely going to take out the chancla and smack me in the face with it lmaooo she’s gonna be soooo sad and mad

Part 5

criminal minds 18x02 initial thoughts (SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS)

tara/rebecca sex scene whoaaaaa, NIIICE. it's so awesome that aisha got to direct this episode so she got a lot of control over this scene. I'm so happy for Tara even if i'd rather she be with Emily lol.

get your tomatoes and rocks ready for throwing bc I am enjoying the continued Voit storyline hahaha. I laughed SO HARD when Voit called Rossi dad, oh my GOD. it's KILLING me that Rossi has to ROLEPLAY AS VOIT'S DAD AJkslkjdskaldjsla the Voit torture on Rossi WILL NEVER END. And Voit was so twisted mentally by Rossi that even through his amensia he recognizes the connection they have. It's sooo funny! And just fucking perfect, Voit is the biggest thorn in rossi's side and I love it.

As for voit's amnesia, I went into this season thinking he was probably faking it and now I don't think he's faking it, so what I think will happen is he will start to regain his memories, but since he has empathy now he will struggle to come to terms with who he is and feel guilty about it. (And Luke will continue to think he's a big fakey liar man hahahaha)

cute scene with Penelope and JJ. <3 Pen offering to make Michael's birthday cake and JJ calling her "Mistress Penelope Grace" was so cute.

Tyler my cute bb boy, an official member of the team now <3 turns out all they had to do was pull like one tiny string (because come on, the BAU, jewel of the FBI, can get pretty much anything they want). "Big boy bullets" ahahaha. and then he couldn't keep the unsub from killing himself and he just felt sooo guilty about it. shhh, come to me, Tyty, I will take away the pain.

TARA GETTING TO USE HER FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY SKILLS! yayyyyyy!

no real Garvez this episode :( pretty much what was got was the equivalent of the promo photo of them standing next to each other, but hey, THEY WERE STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER

there were a few Penelope and Tyler scenes which I am choosing to allow because I feel like they were there just to show that there is zero sexual whatever between them anymore, they're just coworkers and friends now, yup yup yupppp. Unfortch Tyler is also a computer expert (although obviously not as good as Penelope) so they would team up when it comes to computer things. though I did not enjoy Tyler offering to watch the torture porn so Penelope wouldn't have to, EXCUSE ME, THAT'S LUKE'S JOB. hmph

good creepy fucked up unsub of the week, and I prefer the serialized aspect to Evolution so I am really glad that at least the unsub of the week is still connected to the larger Voit/network storyline. I'm so curious to know what happens next!

they've mentioned BAUgate multiple times so I just now it'll become important at some time this season. poor JJ. she's getting mentally DESTROYED this season D:

and of course, will. :( I wasn't really shocked but it's just because I knewwwww it was coming. I personally don't have a problem with how it went down. sometimes.. people just die, senselessly, randomly. I knew this (death related to his earlier cancer scare) would be a possibility so I kind of made my peace with this potential outcome a while ago. it's horrible any time a character dies from being murdered, I mean, that just adds an extra layer or 5 of trauma for the characters. random death at least is.. natural? idk. in any case I think the next episode is where it's really gonna hit home. watching JJ grieve is gonna be terribleeeeeee.
