Mayfair Witches S2E4 (Show & Book Spoilers): The Taltos are a-go, baby!

THE TALTOS NAME DROPS, STFU, HERE WE GO! 🎉

GET HER, Moira.

Deflecting responsibility, lying, and prioritizing her booty calls with the dude who chose his career over her, LOL. If I were Moira I'd've lit Rowan a new arsehole speaking to me like that, when that's MY sister stuck in limbo in Rowan's cursed house cuz she's incompetent AF and effed up the spell. Poor Jojo & Daphne don't deserve this BS.

IDK how Esta expects us to actually liked Rowan as a MC, this heifer is the literal worst and I'm getting SO sick of her omg. Like, this is way different from Lestat, who at least brings comedic relief & charisma uniqueness nerve & talent, even when he's being the literal devil. Rowan & her actress bring NOTHING to this show but stress.

And clearly the whole fam agrees, since they're tryna put Moira in Rowan's place as the next designee! 🤣

See, in the books it made sense--Rowan was literally MISSING after Lasher was born, on the run cuz she knew Michael was tryna kill Lasher by any means necessary for killing their kid. Then Lasher abducted her & had her tied up AMC!Claudia style with Bruce, and she got so sick when she became pregnant that she almost died. The Mayfairs LOVED Rowan, but they HAD to name book!Mona as the new designee, cuz Rowan was at death's door. You felt BAD for Rowan, cuz so much bad stuff happened to her that it was just undeniable that although she'd been Lasher's accomplice at first, she became his victim. THIS heifer on AMC though has no such excuses.

TBH, I've been fast-forwarding through ALL of these dry AF cringe AF lame AF scenes with Rowan & Lark. I Do. Not. CARE. Esta in the Insider hyping them up: "You can feel the energy that runs between them in a way that's very exciting~!"--stfu no I can't. 😒 Then he finally asks a relevant question, and she's still lying, so wtrvr. I'm glad he's going behind her back to test her DNA and match it with Lasher's; she's a garbage liar. Don't just use me as your free geneticist (and booty call) and lie to my effing face; bye Felicia.

If only there was a BOOK CHARACTER who was an ARCHITECT who MARRIED the designee of the family and who was good with CONSTRUCTION and worked with his HANDS to RENOVATE the house~! Gee gosh golly, I wonder who that could be~! 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Speak of the Devil. 😂 The same man she'd been ducking & dodging all season, NOW she needs his help. 🙄😒

Huh. They're really leaning into the Talamasca being more like cops than scholars, and IDK if I like this whole carceral bend to the organization. How are they observing but never interfering, if they're literally locking supernaturals up?????? (Not even COOL supes like WEREWOLVES--there seems to be a vampire, ghost?, and shaman?)

*clutching my pearls* I cannot believe the guy who lied to me for the entirety of S1 and wiped my memories and tried to steal my kid numerous times and roofied me in my hotel room and abducted me literally just lied to me for the entirety of S2~! 😩

Dang, Talamasca got that bookoo money, fitting out the whole organization with Benzes!

Top 10 anime betrayals! 😭

Albrecht is a powerful psychic, Cip, OF COURSE he knew what you were up to! Stop THINKING, man, he can read & WIPE minds! ACT!

Aw crap, he's been arrested. 🤦 Start thinking QUICK, Cip!

I'm sorry, but if this is what all Talamasca agents are like, they're dry & BORING AF. Knockoff MIB lookin arses.

Cip, you are dumb AF reading that--I'd've wanted to know as little about anything as possible, so Amsterdam could be lik: Yeah, Cip really doesn't know wtf's going on, he's free to go. You going behind their literal backs like this just makes you look sus!

I KNOOOOOOW this wench isn't calling Moira untrustworthy. 🙄 When HER sister's the one trapped in the spell YOU cast, Rowan!

We been knew Julien was involved--let's get more of him already!

My jaw literally DROPPED--the way they've been clowning Cortland in S2 is SENDING ME! 😂🤣

Okaaaay.... So it looks like AMC might be sticking with the books about the victrola being Juilen's voodoo doll, but they've swapped Dolly Jean's role with Evelyn, to have Dolly be the one Julien's seducing. (She looks AMAZING in that nightgown. 😅)

I WAS WONDERING!!!!!! Cuz in the books she's ANCIENT Evelyn! Like why is she so dang YOUNG here?! Nice one, AMC! 👍 This is the first book canon switcharoo that I really like so far.

🫖☕👀

Chile, Julien was a MESS. 😂

Moira's about that action and I love it. But next time don't touch the haunted victrola without being prepared to get possessed. 😅

Omfg Rowan they told you NOT to stop her! 🤦 But here she goes, always ignoring people who know better than her, cuz she swears she's got all the effing answers, only to royally screw everything up.

Gandalf? 😅

I'm actually super excited for the next episode, to see exactly what Julien tells Rowan about the Taltos or not. And I wanna see the Amsterdam Motherhouse we always hear so much about in the books.

So, yeah, we shall see what happens!

[Ah yes. New chapter is out today. So I'll put my ramblins under the cut. I'm thinking it's not going to be eventful just by the first page and title, but hey. I do tend to find some dusty, scratched gems in here.]

[For starters, and why this will likely be uneventful for this arc, it has definitely just gone into the events of Super Hero. Which. Is expected but kind of lame. It's just really boring to rehash the movies, either going from movie to anime/manga (not sure which came first with BoG and Res:F) or, in this case, movie to manga. Maybe they'll change some shit, add a little more detail, but I'm going to guess it won't be anything significant.

Also, where's the Broly movie adapted to the manga? I'm still bothered by this because he DOES appear in the movie. So, if they adapt those scenes to the manga, how do they explain his appearance? It's really just super inconsistent, which, for this series, is a feature more than it is a bug.

HOWEVER. As I said when I watched Super Hero:

I love Pan's teacher. She's really cute. And I love how there's zero concern for the green man picking up Pan. Great teachering. 10/10.

But then immediately this--

I think we all know my disdain for the "Piccolo is a better dad to Gohan" narrative, so are we going to start getting the same with "Piccolo is a better parent to Pan than Videl and Gohan?" Like I get his frustration but considering he literally kidnaps Gohan at age 4 (and yes, I know things get better and he does change and treat Gohan well as time goes on), I have trouble holding Piccolo up as the gold standard of parenting. And secondly, if it's the same as the movie, I GUESS i can kinda get frustration with Gohan not taking a few minutes to just...go pick up his kid, but Videl was at work. He could have just said no and Gohan would have HAD to go. Either way, I don't feel like Gohan and Videl working makes them a bad parent. This is pretty normal shit when both parents work.

Also not gonna lie, this reeks a little of Toriyama's sexism OR at the VERY LEAST his old fashioned and traditional ideas about how families should work (and I feel Super really pushes the traditional family over what it felt like DB/Z were pushing in the importance of friends/found families as well). As in, one of them should always be available to take care of Pan, which, usually translates to the woman. And I'm GLAD they worked Videl away from just being another housewife because it doesn't suit her, but ugh. I can see the GOHAN BAD DAD LIKE HIS DAD jokes already.

Idk how Krillin knows all this but whatever. I still hate Vomi as her name, but I'm more disappointed that we couldn't get at least faces for Hedo's parents. But I guess we know Gero and Vomi had two sons, apparently. I'm naming him Puka (I fucking hate it and this is a joke and in no way canon or at least i hope it's not god).

So they're involving the police more in this? Maybe. Might be an interesting sidebar? Who knows. I imagine it won't actually be worth much later, but I like that Krillin is getting some screen time as he would have obvious stake in not wanting the RR to resurface, considering.

Piccolo. Fucking. I get she has two grandpas, but I find it really hard to believe he just forgot Goku existed for a minute. also, where is Pan hearing this? Who's talking shit on her daddy? 🤣🤣 But seriously. Are they just trying to run this "everyone hates Goku now" route or what?

I love this nerd. Let him be. 😭😭

Okay, that is pretty shitty of Gohan tbh. I personally think it's out of character for him to be that thoughtless, though. I could see him ASKING as Videl does, but I don't see him ASSUMING Piccolo would always be there and willing to help out. I don't know what it is about demonizing the Son family, but Super seems to have a huge hard on for it.

klajsdf I'm sure I ranted about this with the movie but I fucking HATE this shit. Like we've literally been through this TWICE with Gohan in Z, and even to some extent in Super with Frieza returning, the expo tournament, and the ToP. Gohan would ABSOLUTELY by EXPERIENCE know that Goku and Vegeta aren't always going to be around to save their asses. It's why I don't agree with the idea that he just gives up training entirely. He has too much of a hero complex in the first place, and he knows that he's the next strongest behind them (because I can at least see him being reluctant to define himself as stronger than them, even if he has the potential to be because modest boi), so keeping up with his training to some degree is a no brainer, even if he doesn't WANT to. He knows he has that responsibility, so once more playing up this "lol Gohan stopped training!!!" bit, especially at this point, is so damn old. They don't even try to make it halfway nuanced in any way, so it's literally just rehashing nonsense for a shit narrative.

And in this instance for this specific case, I agree with Piccolo being pissed. That's a stupid ass mindset for him to have.

Anyway. I still love Gamma 2.

But yeah. That chapter was pretty much a rehash of the beginning of the movie with a few, but unnoteworthy additions. But that was to be expected. Part of me wants to just say screw it with reading the rest of this arc, but I guess it gives me something to look at for a little while. I'm not holding my breath, but since they have the space, maybe they'll do something a little extra or interesting with it after all.]
