KILLJOYS 5×02 “Blame It on the Rain”

[bylerconfessions]

cupcake bylers = delusional, soft, oversensitive bylers with terrible takes that constantly sideline every other character (sometimes including will & mike as individuals) for the sake of byler. a lot of them are fujoshi girls and sometimes even grown women that fetishize gay males. very out of touch with reality, to the point of overanalyzing every single irrelevant detail in the show and somehow relating it to their ship. worship the duffers as some sort of untouchable queer-love-story-writing gods. think the whole show revolves around byler, when it obviously doesn't. pretend to like other ships, but only talk about them if they're comparing them to byler (this is especially true of how they treat wlw ships, if they don't outright ignore or slander them). very misogynistic, constantly either neglect or disrespect the major female characters and actresses that make the show as great as it is. this is reflected in the way many of them treat el and millie, respectively. cupcakes are boring killjoys.

the alternative to being a cupcake byler is being an edgy byler. i consider myself an edgy byler.

edgy bylers = critical of both the show and its fandom. have at least some sense of media literacy and are constantly working on improving their media literacy. reasonable and grounded in reality. actually like and care about other characters and ships that aren't byler (for many of us byler isn't even our main ship or the main reason we watch the show, not everything is about ships). more likely to be an actual gay male or member of the lgbt community. more likely to be multishippers. enjoy byler for certain aspects of their canon dynamic, but also their narrative potential, as well as their metatextual cultural potential. not afraid to criticize the duffers' painfully obvious writing flaws throughout the whole show and how underwritten mike & will are not just together, but also on their own, as well as criticize problematic aspects of the show's writing. also not afraid to criticize the byler fandom for their terrible takes, fanon mischaracterization and problematic behavior. willing to call out fujo-derangement and its subsequent misogyny in the byler fandom. actually give a shit about the complex major female characters in the show independent of their relation to byler and don't randomly shit on wlw ships for no reason. aware that byler is NOT going to be the main focus of s5 because mike & will are NOT the main characters, but rather that byler is going to be a subplot. edgy bylers are not boring killjoys.

wow anon ur so edgy for being able to watch a show like anyone else 😐

S6 a moment of silence

Do you hear that sound? The cicadas? The sweet shush of the pool water moving with the evening wind? That's the sound of no one, absolutely no one asking Ivy to give her fucking shitbag opinion on anything, nor ask her to lecture us on why we're in the villa. Ivy. STFU.

I never thought a character would come along that would make me like Marisol more, but here we are. Why don't they ever give us smart, analytical women who aren't complete fucking killjoys?

** Just for clarity, I'm kind of enjoying things so far. I just really dislike Ivy. **

Ooops, I put the wrong season up top. I'm so used to ranting about S5 I forgot we were in S6 for a minute 😂 I fixed it but I don't think it fixes for reblogs.

@hairasuntouchedaspartoftheamazon if the people want to know then I'm happy to share <3

so it's more just a few random ideas than an actual fully fleshed out AU but I technically have 2 TMA AUs one where the zones and city are a desolation/stranger domain and one that sort of follows the plot of TMA

so the first AU the city and zones as a domain are a bit unique because the lines between fears are blurred as they are in s5 but one part of the domain has a stronger focus on one fear and one part on the other instead of it all being twisted up, but both fears affect all parts of the domain. the stranger has a stronger hold on the city and the desolation has a stronger hold on the zones. the domain is focused on the crushed hope of thinking you escaped your torment only to find you're now being tormented in an entirely different way, a way you don't know how to handle.

someone might escape the city only to find the desolation of the zones, and that the killjoys culture and customs are so unfamiliar that its like being stuck with the stranger all over again. a killjoy might turn themselves in to the city only to have to learn to handle everyone's lack of identity which it so prized in the desert, and the fear of losing everything never goes away as they have to learn to hide their true identity and fit in with all the "citizens" because who konws what might happen if they get found out? the director is the avatar in charge of the city section and the witch is in charge of the zones section and all other characters are just victims here. i'd like to write a statement-esque fic about this domain but idk if or when that's gonna happen

the second one is far less fleshed out but i was thinking the girl as the archivist, the witch as the head of the institute, dr d + the station crew as the former archivist and archival assistants, the four as the early archival assistants (taking the places of tim sasha and martin) while the vs are some of the later assistants (like melanie daisy and basira) except for val who is the not!party, various background/twitter characters or ocs as some of the recurring avatars (like jude perry, oliver banks, etc)

[harompe]

started watching tasknaster s5 and aisling's reaction to the very first task (give alex a very special cuddle) :// was understandable and also made me feel so bad like. ofc now she has to play it off as a joke and lampshade it unless she wants to be the nag and the killjoy. fuckin hell

Killjoys 5 x 10 “Last Dance”

OMG, this finale was everything I’ve ever wanted. And nobody died! This is how you write a TV show.

We started with a group hug before the final showdown, aww.

Dutch used Khlyen as bait to lure the Lady to his cube on Arkyn while the rest went after her body on the Armada and Delle Seyah and Aneela procured Qreshi missiles via Aneela’s shear hullen power.

The Lady opened the cube and wanted to clone Jaq because he was too unique and precious to risk damaging him.

But when she went to Arkyn, he freed himself (he has some tricks in his sleeve), and then saved D’avin’s life – because that’s why he had sent the Lady the signal to discover him: he had had a vision of D’avin dying and had to come save him. Aww.

Jaq was also shot, but not fatally, since he heals although not as quicks as Aneela – but it got Aneela come to the Armada in all her fury and together they found the lady’s nasty spider/octopus body and killed it.

Meanwhile, Zeph found the Lady’s stash of experimental patients, one of them being Pippin, who’s alive, himself, and his spider has shrunk, so they got their happy ending.

The Lady made Dutch and Khlyen fight to the death, but Khlyen reminded Dutch of his 10th birthday gift to her – a knife she was always supposed to have hidden on herself – and wanted to kill him before he would be made to kill her.

Fortunately, her stabbing him coincided with the others killing the Lady’s real body, so she didn’t actually have to kill him.

Alas, the Lady dispatched who-knows-how-many ships with the hatchings across the J before her demise, so they now have to hunt them down.

Dutch was trying to convince the Lady – whom she didn’t kill, either, because she’s now a human trapped in a human body and kept in Khlyen’s cube on Arkyn – to give her info on them under pain of death, but she also brought her a doll in one of Khlyen’s red boxes. Aww.

Poetic cycling back to the past all around. I liked it.

Delle Seyah named Pree the governor of Westerly and Aneela will give the refugees land on Leith until they can rebuild.

Also, Aneela would have Delle Seyah rule with her as human, but she offered to share the green with her and to see if there is enough to make her hullen again, which is what Delle Seyah chose and I guess it worked.

My only complaint: barely a glimpse of Fancy.

Johnny prepared to leave and Dutch told Lucy to take care of him and bring him home safe in a year (there was even a nice reference to him maybe finding Clara, yay.)

She also told D’avin she loved him, too.

But first, the three undertook one last task together to kill a few hatchings – and it was the most perfect ending of perfect endings. TAF FTW!

So, that’s it.

What a ride it was!

Oof course there have been things I’d like to see (more of) and the show wasn’t without glitches (you know I had some complaints, one in particularly, but it was subjective), but overall it was really, really good and very-well-written, and I can say for myself one of the best TV shows I’ve watched in these five years – if not the best, since unlike some others with comparable writing it wasn’t cancelled.

I am so glad I’ve watched it. I forgot who I have to thank for bringing it to my attention, but thank you!
