frothing at the mouth actually. still can’t believe she said eve can go back to a “normal” life now where, iirc, she can get married again, live a domestic life. because the obsession with villanelle was just a phase. now she can go back to normal. like do you get it. do you get the biphobic allegory??? and then killing the lesbian the second she became actually happy?? in such a brutal way??? then saying the lesbian’s bisexual partner can finally move on and be normal. okay.

Started Killing Eve last Monday, finished it at 3:00am last night, devastated. changed forever. will never be the same.

[wandering-alien]

What do you think of Killing Eve S4's ending? When I first watched it I think I was just extremely caught up in the moment (and less online, perhaps) so I didn't really explore fan theories on the internet, but I rewatched the whole show and am reading a lot of theories now. It seems like a lot of people believe Villanelle is still alive and that her death was faked, but there are also people who've gone with the ending we saw on screen, so now I am very curious to know what other people think.

[thestarlightforge]

Shit like Killing Eve is genuinely why like 70% of my current watch list is modern Star Trek & low-key Paramount+ remakes/reboots. Because THEY don’t

PUNISH ME.

The MOST PAIN I’VE FELT from a modern Trek show is a tie b/w MICHAEL & SPOCK’S GOODBYE, which was BEAUTIFUL and NOBODY DIED; ICHEB’S DEATH, which was VERY SAD but THOUGHTFUL and FORMATIVE FOR SEVEN, who I LOVE; and HEMMER’S DEATH, which was TRAGIC, but HEY, at least HE’S been BACK.

And CALL iCarly JUVENILE IF YOU WANT TO, but Freddie & Carly are HEALTHY & TOGETHER, Carly’s BFSS (Best Friend Since Sam) is a black, bi/pan icon, and at least HARPER is ALIVE, OKAY?

Like. Do I WISH I could enjoy shows like Killing Eve—with MASTERFUL ACTORS like Sandra & Jodie & Fiona giving it their all, plus some writers & directors who DO GET IT? OFC. Would I trade all but the last 30 seconds of the finale for almost anything? NO.

But is it WORTH IT?

IDFK AT THE END OF THE DAY 🫠

[sillier-than-thou]

I’m not nearly good enough at drawing to be able to make animatics, but the editor in me keeps coming up with ideas for tma animatics and I need to get some of them out of my system, so I made a list (spoilers for tma obviously):

•Mikaele Salesa in season 5 to Private Life by Oingo Boingo. “Here in my humble room at night / I often wonder what goes on out there / what makes them run so scared. / I often stare at the people passing by / but they can’t see me through my window shades. / Just like I’m not even there!”

•Robert Smirke to Man-Made Object by Lemon Demon. “I have a vision of a man-made object / I have the money, I have the means / I have the strangest dreams!”

•Michael the Distortion to The Afternoon by Lemon Demon. “In the attic of this house / on the wall behind a propped up couch / is a door that somehow leads into / the basement of this house??”

•Jan Kilbride in MAG 106 to Falling Up by Will Wood. “Here comes the sun, am I falling up? /FAAALLING UUUUUUUUUP! / Here comes the sun, am I falling up? / FAAALLING UUUUUUUUUP! / Here comes the sun, am I falling up?” (Because in his statement he literally goes “I could feel myself falling up” lmao)

•Dr. David in MAG 177 to A Mask of My Own Face by Lemon Demon. “At all the people hissing, knowing I’m the one they hate / and at the big finale I would tear my face away / and smile as they grip their own and try to do the same!”

•Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood in season 5 to Aurora Borealis by Lemon Demon. “So, let’s take the night off! / Be joyful and joyously enjoy the moonrise / and let it destroy us. / See, it’s okay / as long as we believe we’ll be okay / as if anything could go wrong on Christmas Eve! / Okay, you know I’m glad you’re here / so I can show you this before I disappear. / Is this the first time that you’ve ever seen Aurora Borealis crush mankind? / A flashlight underneath my chin / a pretty winter night / your hand in mine.”

•Elias Bouchard talking to Jon Sims in season 3 to BlackBoxWarrior by Will Wood. “You’ve lost your mind and almost lost your life before / so you’ll be fine! / For what? For what? For what it’s worth / if it was going to kill you, boy it would have by now! / For what? For what? For what it’s worth / there’s no more looking back, and why would you want to look back? / I mean, it’s no good looking back, so time to look forward now! / For what? For what? For what it’s worth / if they were going to get you boy, they would have by now! / For what? For what? For what it’s worth / there’s no more looking back, it’s looking up or looking doooooooown!”

•Jonah Magnus throughout his entire existence (but especially season 5) plus Jon killing him in MAG 200 to No One Lives Forever by Oingo Boingo. “Let’s have a party, there’s a full moon eye in the sky / it’s the hour age of the wolf beholding, and I don’t wanna die! / I’m so happy, dancing while the grim reaper / cuts, cuts, cuts, but he can’t get me! / I’m as clever as can be, and I’m very quick / but don’t forget we’ve only got so many tricks. / No one lives forever!”

•Jonathan Sims (especially in season 4 and 5) to Laplace’s Angel by Will Wood. “We’ve all got evidence of innocence, it’s ‘everything’s coincidence’. / The difference twixt fate and free will is whether you’re singing / Ooh, could you take a look at me? / Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad? / And now we’re singing, ooh / whatever you think of me / if you were in my shoes / you’d walk the same damn miles I do!”

•The Archivist™️ in season 5 to The Passenger by Siouxsie and The Banshees. “Oh, the passenger. / Oh, how he rides! / Oh, the passenger. / He rides and rides! / He looks through his window. / What does he see? / He sees the sign and hollow sky / he sees the stars come out tonight / he sees the city’s ripped backsides / he sees the winding ocean drive. / And everything was made for you and me! / All of it was made for you and me! / ‘Cause it just belongs to you and me! / So let’s take a ride and see what’s mine!”

•Jonathan Sims in season 3 and 4 to Cotard’s Solution by Will Wood and The Tapeworms. “Cry my name, remind my brain of my identity! / I’m not gonna listen, I’m not my volition / I’m sha na na na na na free-will! / Am I to blame for riding this train right by my destiny? / Ah, prove I can crack, ah, loose from the track, ah! / Sha na na na na na free-will!”

So, if anyone on here likes to make animatics, could these ideas maybe possibly perhaps hypothetically be fun to do? :333 I’m probably going to add way more songs to this as time goes on!

Why I think that killing off Adam was the biggest mistake Viv could make

TW: ranting and spoilers

This entire blog is just gonna be me going on a rant about my opinion on why I think Adam shouldn't of been killed off and why he shouldn't be killed off so early and shit , not only did I not see it as unnecessary for the plot, but there's so much Vivienne could of done for his character other than just throwing the whole character away in just one season , I'll be listing things for what they could of done for Adam's character

1. Plotholes

I'm just gonna say it right here and right now, Adam was killed off waaay too early and not only would we be left with many many plot holes like, where is both of his sons (Caine and Abel), the potential they could of used for his character, and ect.

2. Character potential

^^this fucking scene^^ , because the thought of when Adam first pulling up and being like "Hello, Adam here!!" Is just so fucking funny to me (just less plagiarized, and more unique)

and maybe his arrival leads to his words "Hell is forever" ,his own song gets used against him sense not only did he have the audacity to go to the hotel to get back into heaven but he has said it himself, how redemption isn't possible

But references aside ,Adam can have some potential for his character, like maybe he not only comes to the hotel not only for the intention of going back to Heaven because he hates being down in hell but also for the intention of plotting some revenge for what the hotel residents all did to him

,but the longer he stays there the less and less he tries to plot his revenge , the more and more he realized how flawed heaven and heaven's people are most of the time, and ect.

And ect. and he's so indenial of it at first and doesn't want to believe it but no matter how much he tries there's no denying it , deep down he knows it's true but he doesn't want to believe it

3. Character potential (again)

Like maybe Adam has become fallen in the first place because not only did him sinning in Heaven eventually catch up to him, but maybe also because after finding out the exterminations were unnecessary after Sir Pentious entered the heavens gates, it was finally time for Adam to take his fall

They can also actually start touching on Adam's trauma and how it affects him, his trauma being : being forced into a relationship the moment he was created (Lilith and Eve) , having to be the father and/or decendant of all of the human race , having been kicked out of the garden after Lucifer has second handedly invented evil into the world , and said evil causing his son to kill his other son(which is his and God's fault also)

Like maybe sense Vivziepop is putting a slight different spin to things to Hazbin hotel, she doesn't really having to follow the entire list (sense it's her show) , she can still do something with some of it and still find a way to bring it up and with that it could be the reason behind how he behaves , his personality as a whole, and why he wears that narcissistic mask (while it doesn't necessarily excuse his actions)

4. Character design

If Adam was to somehow end up coming back as a fallen angel, as a sinner. Viv can find a way to go crazy with his fallen design, like any other cartoonist in this world, I know that those cartoonist has seen fanart and fan creations of their shows, movies, and characters

I've seen my fair share of seeing really really good fallen designs for Adam and I'm fucking here for it , they're all so good

,it just needs to happen

5. Character development & redemption arc

Like mentioned in Character potential 2 , Adam can have some potential for his character, like maybe he not only comes to the hotel not only for the intention of going back to Heaven because he hates being down in hell but also for the intention of plotting some revenge for what the hotel residents all did to him

but the longer he stays there the less and less he tries to plot his revenge , the more and more he realized how flawed heaven and heaven's people are most of the time, and ect.

And ect. and he's so indenial of it at first and doesn't want to believe it but no matter how much he tries there's no denying it , deep down he knows it's true but he doesn't want to believe it . Like maybe Adam just still acts the same but without him realizing it or acknowledging it he's just becoming a better person and maybe even comedically he just thinks that the misfits gave him a disease /illness when that's not the case

Maybe in the next seasons he could even become a better father to his sons, Caine and Abel but similar to Lucifer, let them do their own thing sense those two are basically adults now and hey, Adam could be more like a cool dad

I feel like Adam has more cool dad energy

6. The relationships he'll end up making

Just imagine the relationships Adam slowly but gradually builds during his redemption arc, like maybe him and Charlie ending having like an fun uncle and niece kind of relationship or something, maybe slowly but gradually he becomes like another friend of Angel Dust's, and ect.

As he processes through his redemption arc he can end up making friends and building relationships down in hell , possibly in the near future Charlie, Vaggie, Angeldust, Alastor, Cherri bomb, Husk, Nifty, Razzle, and Lucifer doesn't fight against him but with him if another threat were to come

7. There could be another antagonists that's worse or maybe even a bigger threat than Adam

Maybe another antagonists could be made that's more of a mystery and even a bigger threat than Adam , that's just like Adam (or not) but amp up the bad traits he has, maybe this time Adam could be the one helping the others fight and rebel against this guy in his own way

8. Another musical number

Another musical number with them singing badly about heaven in song in the near future but this time with Charlie ,Vaggie, Angeldust, Alastor, Cherri bomb, Husk, Nifty, Razzle, Lucifer, and most of all Adam but the reprise has a metal spin to it and this time Adam joins in and does it with his guitar

9. Another reason she shouldn't of killed off Adam is because she'd be killing off fat /plus size representation

Another reason I feel like Viv shouldn't of killed off Adam is because she'd be killing of fat character representation and I wouldn't want a chubby character like Adam to be killed off

,of course we have Mimzy now but she doesn't count sense she's just one character and only just one character and as much as I love Mimzy I feel like the show needs more than just one or two fat characters

And for the people that think "He isn't chubby" , try again and look at him again , how he sits , lays down (like how he was laying after her got shanked in his arm by Charlie), and ect.

10. I just want some vulnerable moments with Adam

Whether that be Adam bawling his eyes out, having a panic attack, having a mental/emotional breakdown, or ect. I just want to see a vulnerable side of Adam, Adam angst if you will

Okay I'm done ranting, bye <3 <3

Severance Spoilers

I see some people pointing out how strange Outie Burt’s retirement video is, considering he claims he was fired, and people are theorizing Lumon is using him to get to Irving.

I hate to admit that I believe it’s possible, but I’m hanging on to the fact I don’t think it’s likely! My thought process-

-If Burt retired willingly and that was the Truth, why would he be looking to help Lumon catch Irving at something at all? Like, I see wanting his job back if he was fired and he and Fields needed the money, but if our basis for suspicion is that he genuinely seemed to be retiring, based on that video, then it seems out of character for him to just, happily do the dirty work of his old company, unless Outie Burt is just Helena levels of nurtured into worshipping Kier on the outside.

-I distinctly remember the impression, when Burt “retired” in season 1, that the whole thing was Burt getting fired. Irving knew it, going off after watching the video about Lumon killing Burt off, and I believe the viewer was supposed to know it. At the time, I assumed they’d simply told Outie Burt they needed to make some cuts at the company and he could willingly go with some compensation or be fired or something. I thought they’d gotten the retirement video out of him out of a mixture of perhaps some contract he’d signed when he first signed up, stating such a thing would always be required if Lumon asked it of him, and/or I simply thought Milchik had pulled the whole “we’re sorry we can’t keep you, but your coworkers on the severed floor love your Innie and it would very much help moral if you made a video to be played at a retirement party, saying goodbye to them all.” And Burt was just the kinda guy to go along with it. This revelation in my head fit with that- Burt had been fired, much less gracefully than I imagined even, but he still did the video because he has some awareness that the Innies all have a life there that he doesn’t want to disturb. Or because legally he had to and he didn’t want to be an asshole during it.

-Also, just, why would Lumon pick him? This episode confirmed that their Outies did not know each other, and only have some reason to connect here cause Innie Irving basically dropped his Outie on Burt’s doorstep on the season 1 finale. Severance, the way we know it, has no real bleed over feelings-wise without reintegration. Mark received weird therapy from his dead wife and didn’t even flinch. He was making googly eyes at Helly with Gemma in the room hours after he was probably sobbing in his car with grief over Gemma. So why would Lumon expect Outie Burt to have some special sway over Outie Irving?

Edit: For clarity, I know that to some extent, Innie Mark does feel Outie Mark’s grief. As Petey says, he just “doesn’t know what it is.” That’s not the kind of bleed over I mean.

I think of a sims 4 mod I like, for emotional inertia. In that, once a sim is in a new emotion, it adds an emotional inertia moodlet for a significant amount of time, that way the emotion is a bigger, more realistic deal. There may be moodlets/reasons going on in the sims head to feel a whole bunch of things, but the inertia moodlet makes it where they’re more likely to be feeling an emotion just because they were already feeling it. This stops the sims emotions from seeming chaotic and unstable as most moodlets run out in about 4 hours, or deeply unbalanced like the handful that last for days. There are other factors(Happy and Uncomfortable do not have inertia, Uncomfortable adds to dominant negative emotions like Happy adds to dominant positive emotions, certain emotions and activities drain or prolong moodlets of certain types, moodlets from emotional traits will randomly have values from 1-3), but basically your sim is probably gonna feel that initial emotion until at least the triggering moodlet runs out, and then probably the strongest inertia moodlet. If the mood is negative and you’re trying to get them out of it, well, even if you make them their favorite breakfast, a hothead who woke up on the wrong side of their cheap bed will probably stay pissy for at least 2-4 hours (if you really work on draining those initial moodlets), then with effort may be manageable but still difficult for another 4 hours (8 hours from getting into the mood).

So let’s apply that mentality to Mark.

Say as an Outie, he has +5 Sad(from being a Widower), +1 Sad(from sitting around thinking about her), +2 angry(from Anger mourning), +3 Sad (FromEmotional Inertia)

That puts Outie Mark at +9 Very Sad, Sobbing in his car

Once he got in the elevator, and switches to Innie memories, he loses all of that context but still has +3 Sad from emotional inertia to deal with. Now this is much less intense, and it may be quickly drowned out, depending on what’s happening in the office,

INVINCIBLE SEASON 3 REVIEW

SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON. I WILL BE SPOILING MAJOR EVENTS THAT HAPPEN. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED THEN STOP READING HERE.

Ok, so I have some fucking beef here. I usually want to watch episodes of this show when they release, because I really like this show, and I want to be eagerly anticipating the new season. Except, for some godforsaken reason, the episodes release at 3:00 IN THE MORNING in my time zone. Why? Doing some math, I found out that the episodes would be coming out at midnight in Seattle, Washington, where Amazon headquarters are. WHY MUST YOU GATEKEEP ME LIKE THIS JEFFERY BEZOS?

Anyway, this season was good.

Like I said, I really like the Invincible show thus far, so I was really looking forward to the new season. So much so, that I read ahead in the comics up until the final arc, which is something that not many fans of Invincible have done. I really like the comics, and I'd say that the show is on a similar level of quality. There are some moments from the comics that I think were translated pretty well onscreen. I'm not gonna refer to the comics too much, though, since there are a few changes made to the show that cement it as its own thing, like Rae being alive after being eaten.

This season mainly focuses on the relationship between Mark and Cecil, where Mark is frustrated with Cecil for trying to rehabilitate criminals who did unspeakable things so that they can get another shot helping out the good guys. I have seen so many posts by people who have the reading comprehension of a fourth grader saying things like, "What's Mark's problem? Why is he tring to fight Cecil on rehabilitating criminals? Is he stupid?" Yes. That's his arc throughout the season. Mark is tested time and time again throughout this season with his identity as a now-independent superhero, and he comes face-to-face with the consequences of the actions of him, like in episode 2 and episode 6, or the actions of other versions of himself, like in episode 4 and episode 7.

Speaking of episode 7, I was really looking forward to the Invincible war and it was so fucking good. This entire season was bleak, with Mark forced to kill a future version of The Immortal and with Mark's new brother killing the Maulers in cold blood, but episode 7 really upped the dark elements of this show. Omni-Man destroying Chicago for no reason was bad enough, but Angstrom Levy getting an army of evil Invincibles to cause what is essentially the apocalypse for no reason is just another level of dismal. So much so that when Conquest showed up for the final episode and destroyed more of the city, my brain just got numb to it.

Yeah, my biggest issue with this season happens in the episode that currently has a 9.9 on IMDB. Maybe I'm the problem, but oh well. I'm not big on some of what happens in Mark's fight with Conquest because it feels like it's retreading on stuff we've already seen. Cities getting destroyed like in the last episode, Conquest uses Mark to splatter innocent civilians just like Omni-Man did in season 1, and Mark beats him to near-death just like he did to Angstrom Levy. It also doesn't help that I'm not a big fan of Conquest. He feels like a C-tier redo of Battle Beast and the thing where he explains his entire backstory and motivation to Mark just before Eve comes in with the clutch of a lifetime was especially stupid. And his characterization in the comics doesn't leave me especially excited for him in the future.

You may have noticed that I haven't talked about a lot of the side characters, and they were good in this season, but nothing could compare to Mark's storyline. Rae surviving the Lizard League fight was pretty cool, since it gives her time to spend dating Rex. Normally, I absolutely despise Rex as a character, but this season made him tolerable. I even liked him when he sacrificed himself to kill one of the Invincibles. All he had to do was die. Kate, Immortal, Debbie all have their moments, but they were fine here. Amanda and Rudy (or Rex) are the most adorable couple in the show, and Oliver is a great addition to the cast since he doesn't have the same contempt for Nolan that the other characters do. Powerplex, though, is my favorite new addition to the cast, and he's the focus of my favorite episode in the show. Aaron Paul stays winning.

Nolan and Allen also get half of episode 4 all to themselves, which was great to see. Their jailbreak was some of the best action in the entire show thus far, and it keeps up the great animation that's a consistent highlight of the show for me. I especially love how the animators lock the fuck in for the Mark vs Conquest fight, it was so beautiful to watch. Absolute Cinema.

Even though I loved a lot of what this season offered, I don't feel it hit the insane highs that season 1 did, which is still not a bad thing in the slightest. This season is on a similar level of quality to the last season, so I am giving it the same score I gave season 2, an 8/10.

5 Characters who should get an Invincible Special Episode

Invincible Season 2 has just wrapped up, and while some fans are a little disappointed with its ending, overall the general consensus has been positive. From excellent music, to phenomenal voice work and animation, along with X-Men '97 its been a great time to be a superhero fan AND an animation fan.

This season also brought in a handful of new characters, as well brought some fan favorites to the forefront, including Allen the Alien, Rex Splode and Immortal.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I love being in this universe, and would love to see more. And while I know Season 3 will be here sooner than Season 2 was, I've been thinking about all those incredible characters and the Atom Eve Special.

It went a long way in showing how good the animation got, expanding on Atom Eve, and evening building up threats like The Lizard League.

I think theres alot of potential in expanding some of these characters, seeing their origins and helping build up their character development.

So I'm going to go through some, along with ideas as to how the episodes can play out. Spoiler Warning for Invincible Season 1 & 2 and mild spoilers from the comics.

5. Bulletproof

Starting off with one of the newest members of the Guardians of the Globe, Zandale Randolph AKA Bulletproof is definitely a character you forgot was in this season.

While he is known for a few big things in the future, he didn't really get to do much this season. He wasn't very useful in the sequid invasion, didn't really help in any major fights, nor do we know anything about him. So why him?

His history in the comics is rather tragic, and I think is something we are going to explore. His twin brother, a mad genius, attempts experimenting on Zandale in order to give himself superpowers. Instead it gives Zandale superpowers, and kills his brother.

Due to this, and unable to tell his parents, he pretends to be both brothers to preserve his brothers legacy.

That tragedy is alot, and could make for an amazing episode, with his brother being the villain and explain why he is so guarded.

Plus, I love Jay Pharoah. More Jay Pharoah please.

4. Dupli-Kate

We got some hints at Dupli-Kates origin in her eulogy from Immortal. Her powers come from a curse upon her family, that led to both her and her brother gaining the ability to multiply.

What you don't know is they started off as a brother sister team before going their separate ways.

We actually see Kate's brother Multi-Paul in the cell when the Maulers escape again. Seeing a young version of Multi-Paul before their inevitable confrontation in a later season could give us more stakes.

Yes, this is another sibling rivalry just like Bulletproof, but this could start way more fun than Bulletproofs.

And two multipliers who are children fighting it out in a dramatic finish? Also good television.

3. Monster Girl

Talk about a tragedy.

Monster Girl's curse was given to her after falling in love with a man whose grandmother disapproved of her. That grandmother was a witch, who turned her into an ogre with extraordinary power.

We don't get much else from her origin, which could give us some wiggle room.

This could start as a love story turned horror story, unable to get out of her monster form, feeling trapped in her own body. We can have the witch be an Agatha Harkness type, and a physical threat in the episode too.

Once she is defeated, Amanda is able to turn back and be with the man she loves, until she realizes months later, that she is getting younger, and he breaks her heart.

The beats are all there, and I'd love to see a magic based episode in the Invincible Universe mixed in with some Hulk style action. Plus, building up Amanda will be important as she is vital in the comics.

2. Thaedus The Great Betrayer

You didn't think I was only picking Guardians did you?

Thaedus' episode could be by far the most interesting, showing us Viltrum from a first hand perspective, before he betrayed and before he formed the Coalition.

I don't want to get too heavy into spoilers, but he causes a brutal blow on the Viltrum Empire I'd love to see first hand. We can keep Peter Cullen, or get a younger voice actor, but either way, seeing a younger Viltrum Empire would be very intriguing and a bloodbath.

1. Rex Splode

Despite being one of the most annoying characters in Season 1, Rex is by far the standout of Season 2 in my eyes.

Another origin that was slightly teased, I can imagine Rex's episode can be his sad origin, meeting Atom Eve in act 2, and taking out his oppressors by the end in a good old fashioned team up.

This could be a direct sequel to the Atom Eve Special, giving us more Eve, and help us understand their relationship even better. Plus Rex being blind sided with a girl who can make anything? Sounds like a fun battle to me.

Thank you so much for reading! Please consider following, and check out my socials and other sites here! And let me know: Who do you want to see get an Invincible Special Origin Episode?

[wandering-alien]

I haven't watched Killing Eve for a while but was thinking about rewatching it again, and I've only watched s4 once, so it was on my mind and I started thinking about it.

!!Spoilers!!

I think one reason why it flopped and was so widely disliked was because of the way The Twelve was handled. I thought the reveal and backstory was anticlimactic, boring and didn't seem to have much thought put into it. The whole thing felt really unnatural to me, they didn't link Villanelle's past murders into the organisation and its purpose much, which would have been so cool and smart.

To me, it was kind of just 'what if they were a secret cabal of socialists who tried to control the world' which is lazy and boring and I thought it would have been more unique. Definitely would have appreciated a more in-depth exploration into the Cold War but I doubt that would have been good for the show because it's a bit of a niche thing and I'm a history buff, so always want history in TV shows I watch.

I haven't thought much about what I would have done, but I might come back to this post after rewatching it. Also, maybe my brain has just been overly harsh or something, I haven't watched it since it came out, sorry.

[thestarlightforge]

Little rage update to this because I found one of the articles again:

Imagine being so out of touch with your own production, you think Villanelle is happiest when murdering people.

As if she didn’t give a WHOLE MONOLOGUE about how she used to kill in a desperate attempt to find any sensation at all. As if she didn’t come out of that darkness through finally processing some of her trauma & building this relationship with Eve during S1-3.

As if that whole S3 finale never happened: The conversation with Carolyn, begging her to see value in anything besides her ability to kill, and despair when Carolyn refuses. The cracks in her voice while they dance as it finally hits her, all the people she’s killed, and she doesn’t want to kill anymore, but she steels herself & puts on one last show to kill the woman who’s after Eve bc she finally trusts Eve enough to start to be vulnerable & let her in & trust that she’ll still be there & not find her monstrous or disgusting when she gets back; the grimace as she leans into Eve on the bridge, letting her go bc it’s the selfless-love thing to do.

Villanelle didn’t send Eve up to distract the partiers because she’s happiest when killing people. (She wanted to be a goddamn interior decorator 😭 I’m begging y’all to LISTENNN.) That hasn’t been the case since season ONE, and that wasn’t even the FULL STORY back THEN. She sent her up there because she has processed her shit & she knows how horrible and irreversible it is to kill somebody. But she knew the Twelve had to die—for Eve’s sanity, Villanelle’s freedom & for them to have any chance at a free life together. So she saved Eve from that burden. Let her feel like she helped by dancing it out at a wedding, shining her light. Steeled herself, just like in S3, and got the job done.

Bc did y’all see her relief when she got back to Eve on the bridge? When it was over? The troubled expression as she watched Eve walk into the wedding? How the only time she smiled was when she came out of the kitchen to listen to Eve give her officiant speech about their relationship, and then she disappeared again—just grimacing during the killing (which was a 1 vs 12 fight without Eve btw, so ofc she couldn’t be clean about it)? Did you see the desperately sad way she kissed Eve at the bottom of the stairs before she sent her off, knowing what she was about to have to put herself through and wanting to soak in that goodness, to remind herself she’s loved somewhere before she went in and did that? How her whole body shakes after the last killing & she only smiles again once the weapon drops from her hand—as she realizes that might be the last time she ever has to do this?

Eve and Villanelle went in opposite, parallel directions over the course of the show, crashing into/embracing each other to finally find that balance and understanding. And hilariously (in the context of Neal’s comments), that journey means if anything, EVE is the one who “enjoys killing” at this point 😂 NOT Villanelle.

I literally don’t understand how any reasonable person even could come to the conclusions Laura Neal did in good faith, much less the goddamn show-runner. But then, she didn’t do it in good faith, did she. She sent the mentally ill queer woman on a quest to purify herself of sin through JESUS for 80% of a season & then SHOT her & threw her in the THAMES, the site of Eve’s acceptance in S3, so that Eve, as the formerly “straight” woman who was in love with her, could have the “relief” of getting her “NORMAL LIFE” back—

I’M—

How long am I gonna be explaining to people, I wonder:

Villanelle is a compelling and relatable character—and so similar to Catra—& her relationship with Eve heart wrenching to watch because she turned herself into a weapon at a young age so no one could hurt her anymore? (And Catra and Villanelle are both power bottoms, and no, that’s not a joke—it’s character info.)

It’s why her backstory episode with her mom in S3, and the final shot of her crying on the train, are so perfect, for all people’s complaints about S3. And then she grew and changed. And Eve came back. And she let someone hurt her. She let someone in.

Because no, most people don’t have mental health scarring to the degree that Villanelle has. (A lot of that—the spy stuff, the Twelve—can be read as a way to personify a general sense of governmental repression anyway.) But there’s something very real about being a soft-hearted person who forced yourself to become a survivor, scrapping from day to day to find any reason to live, and then finally finding someone who understands you and doesn’t want to hurt you.

And for Eve, it was compelling because she was closeted. All the trappings of her old life—from Nico and their flat full of chickens, to her desk job—were symbolic of repressive, misogynistic, comp-het culture as a whole. Villanelle represented burning all of it down: rebellion, anarchy, honesty, freedom.

And it is absolute crap—not to mention WILDLY homophobic—that it would be anything RESEMBLING a “relief” for her to lose that freedom; to say her queerness and desire for more were a phase, and she’d be happier going back into repression.

It’s crap. And it’s one of the many reasons I have to be a writer.

Totally late to the party, but...

BLUE SUIT CONFIRMED LET'S GO

AH-BUP-BUP! There are spoilers for the comic down here! Turn back now if you don't want that, please!

Spoilers in

I cannot wait to see Thragg this season! My followers know I've been dying to get just a glimpse of the lil fucked up creature man!

And I just know the Conquest fight is gonna go crazy. This season is gonna go so hard.

They're also definitely gonna have Mark and Eve get together (seeing how the comic paired them immediately, they can't drag it out that long). I'm actually really excited to see where they're taking this arc, especially after Amber's plot.

I'm still expecting that this season is gonna end on a cliffhanger for the Invincible War though. Don't think they'll cover it at all since it's a bit of a ways away but with how they set up the evil Marks and everything I totally bet they're gonna end it on a cliffhanger. The real question is if season 4's gonna pick up with that or wait a bit to really let it wallow before the punch.

WAIT HOLD UP I'M LEAVING THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH IN BUT I JUST NOTICED. That shadow doesn't match Mark's pose, but based on the hair and general structure, it does seem to belong to a Mark just off screen. Are we gonna get the Invincible War this season?! Everybody, hold Rex close before he's snatched away. (I mean there's other options it also could be but I like jumping to the extremes so :P)

Anyways when Rex dies, I'm totally posting a screenshot of that and a screenshot of Gambit's death together because I love suffering (my brother inspired the idea by saying "they killed Gambit twice" lol).

Favorite Sibling Ships.

This post includes Spoilers for the MCU and Umbrella Academy! Read at your own risk. This is very long, sorry.

Wilkercest. (Malcolm/Reese, Malcolm in the Middle)

I really enjoy the dynamics between the unlike siblings and I just like the teasing and pranking. Also Reese is kinda "innocent" despite being older. He has no experience with anyone because of his childish behavior.

Thorki (Thor/Loki, MCU)

They perfectly embody the two sides of a coin trope and the sunshine/darkness dynamic. Also Himbo/Nerd, Golden Retreiver/Black Cat. So many to love with so many feelings. The sun will shine on us again. I shipped Lokius for a while as the show came out but went back to Thorki after the hype stopped. I shipped Thor with Star Lord too for a while.

I am hopeful to see Thor and Loki interact again. Now that the multiverse is open. Hope is the last thing to die.

Moonsytem (Marc/Steven (Moonknight) Is this Incest? Please educate me. Or direct me to information about that.

Next is a fandom with complicated family dynamics, even more so than Thorki: Umbrella Academy aka The Hargreeves. They are 7 children out of forty-three, all born in the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989 to mothers with no previous signs of pregnancy. They were all brought here by Sir Reginal Hargreeves and live together at the Academy. They all have different superpowers and were trained to be superheroes until the public lost interest.

My ships is Fiego (Diego/Five)

This is where Himbo/Nerd comes in. Five is also old, but has a very young body. He's supposed to be in a 12-year-old body (the show doesn't really care about the age of the actor, but he's actually a minor for part of the show, he's 20 now), and his actual age in the show is well over 60. Diego is maybe 29-36. Can't really pinpoint because of a lot of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff. The show is fun (last season was terrible), but there is not much explanation. Watch the show to get the full context.

Well, Five is a bastard to everyone, but he has a big soft spot for all his siblings and is very protective. He is a trained assassin, leader of the Commission (Time Protection Service) and 100% deadly. He accidentally left the family when he was 12, he can blip through time and has spent about 60 years trying to get back to them and save them from several apocalypses. He actually saw them die and was stuck in an apocalypse as a lone survivor. He had a relationship with a mannequin. He is often classified by fans as asexual and/or aromantic. He is tired and an old guy who desperately wants to rest for five minutes.

Diego is well Diego. He is hot as hell and a hero type. His superpower is the power to manipulate thrown objects such as knives while in flight. He likes to be as epic as Batman but he is "Batman for poor people" like his sibling call him. He is the only one that continued doing "hero work" as the kids got older. He worked with Eudora Patch, a police officer and that was his first (?) girlfriend. She was killed.

In a timeline Diego tried to save JFK but was locked into a mental asylum and meet his future wife Lila Pitts. Lila is later revealed to have superpowers as well, meaning she is technically also a sibling. A lot more story but this is getting long enough.

Back to my ship. Five found all of his siblings dead, he only touched Diego, turning him around to check for signs of life and cried over his body. He also expressed his dislike for Diego's relationship with Lila and gave Lila a shovel talk. Subtle scenes, but nothing more in canon.

Unfortunately, in Season 4, the 20-year-old actor (Five) kissed the 35-year-old actress (Lila). So Lila cheated on Diego with Five. Sexual contact was implied. I am very disappointed with this choice in the show, not because of my ship. I am just a character fan (I have been burned by actors/actresses before) so the real life age difference was gross to me. I do not care if ships become canon or not. I do not need a kiss or even a smut scene for any of my ships. Fanon before Canon is my motto.

Next is Horrance (Klaus/Ben)

Klaus is a freak, a medium, a seance leader, a drug addict, a sex cult leader, a war veteran and can see and experience ghosts. In the military he was in a relationship with a another soldier called Dave. He can't die naturally and Dave sadly died in his arms. I liked the ship but after a few scenes Dave wasn't shown again.

Klaus is the only one who can interact with Ben (he's a ghost). His nickname for him is Bennie Boy. Ben is the level-headed, quiet counterpart. But he also has a "freaky" side. Huge uncontrollable tentacles (they are called The Horror) come out of his body and, not surprisingly, are not lethal to Klaus and even "know" him, whatever that means. It is unclear if the Horror can interact with Ben similar to Venom Symbiote or not.

It is revealed that Ben is in love with a girl named Jennifer (Bennifer lol) but if they interact the whole multiverse would be "cleansed". So his adoptive dad shot him and Jennifer that is why he is dead at the beginning of the show.

We meet another version of Ben. He is part of the Sparrows. Another academy in another timeline and a big idiot and a grumpy cat. But I love him too. At a party at the end of the world where Luther from the Brellies married Sloane from the Sparrows (but that is hetero so of course that is way different and not at all problematic/s) , Klaus and Sparrow Ben disappear and are found hungover and half-naked the next day. Ben has "Asshole" written in Sharpie on his back. They seem to be close, or at least Klaus is forcing Sparrow Ben to accept his affections. Ben tries to push Klaus away, but ends up grouchily accepting the touchy behavior. They definitally "did" something.

Nobody got a happy end however. They all sacrifice themself at the end, together at least, because they were never supposed to exist. (great message am I right) Also the Sparrows do not appear in Season 4. Yeah! And the show is officially over. They are comics but I did not have touched them yet. Right now I am plotting and sceming on a huge Fix It.
