The Pill (T7S 1x17) || Dirty Double Booker (T9S 1x09)

[catherine-the-doll-ballerina]

Since T9S is returning I can now speak about these two

Something better happen between them!

Look, I'm not really expecting them to be endgame, but I hope the writers give material for future fanfictions.

[inlovewithquotes]

"I don't want to leave without saying goodbye to her. I totally over reacted. This is my first break up and I'm not handling it to well."

"Yeah, it sucks. My first break up felt like my heart was getting ripped out of my butt."

"And it made it even worse that everyone was agreeing with Jay."

"Not everyone. Look , I was in a tough spot cause Jay is my best friend, but I agree with you."

"You do?"

"Yeah. And then Nikki chimed in talking about living separate lives, and I got worried my heart would get ripped out my butt again."

"Come on, Nate. That's just how she is."

"I know. I just wish she wasn't always so.. God there just isn't a word for it."

"Practical?"

"Cool. We just invented a word."

"Well, thanks for telling me all this, Nate. It's nice to know there's another hopeless romantic out there."

"Yeah. I mean what's more powerful than love? Maybe lightening but that's it."

"Right. If two people are meant to be, then they can survive anything."

"Exactly."

"Do you know how lucky it is to find that special person? Someone who you feel comfortable with."

"And someone who you can talk to."

"And everything's just easy."

"Right. I mean someone who just..."

"Gets you?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

Just curious but what are your t9s ships?

Honestly I feel like my only really solid ship for That '90s Show is, Red and Kitty. They were just as wonderful in it as they were in That '70s Show, compared to some seasons even more wonderful. That '90s Show only made me love them more, can't tell you how many times I've rewatched the show-paritcalry their scenes during this summer break.

Other ships...well I think we can count Eric and Donna as a ship for the show. Sure they only come out in one episode together but they had several cute moments and @thatseventiesbitch has written plenty of fics of missing moments that make it seem like they were there a lot more. Hopefully in season 2 they will be in at least 2 more episodes than this season.

Jay and Leia are a cute ship and have to admit I do find the idea of a Forman dating a Kelso pretty funny. They have some really sweet moments I the show I'd be happy if they ended up together.

Nate and Leia were a twist I did not see coming. I don't know if the writer's will take this route but I wouldn't be too upset if they did, I like Nate, he's a fun character and I think Red might like him more than Jay so that works in Leia's favor lol

Gwen and Leia I could see it, I would actually kinda love to see their friendship turn into something more. I really loved their moments together and think the actors have great chemistry. I don't think it would be something completely out of the blue if the shows' writers decided to take this route, though I don't think they will.

Nikki and Nate, they remind me a lot of Jackie and Kelso but less toxic. I'm really curious to see if they will still be together in season 2 even if Nate isn't with Leia it doesn't mean he'll still be with Nikki. Not sure which way I'd prefer things go yet tbh.

Thank you once more for the ask! It's such fun getting to talk about the show!

Nate & Leia [That '90s Show] Requested by @hydesjackiespuddinpop

[will80sbyers]

[nicolettecallednikki]

I'm seeing everyone commenting that on That 90s Show, Leia is Eric, Gwen is Donna, Nikki is Jackie, Ozzie is Fez, and Jay and Nate are both Kelso.

This is the wrong take, unfortunately.

Leia is obviously Eric, Jay is definitely Kelso, Ozzie is totally Fez, but I think we can all grow up and accept Gwen is Hyde.

But Donna is smart and puts up with the boys. Who else does that? Nikki. Nikki is the Donna, sorry, don't be mad because she's 'girly' & y'all hate girly girls ✋🏼

Nate is Jackie, pretty, stupid, & insecure in his relationship. & I love them both.

Things I noticed about Nate and Leia in part 3, spoilers to follow:

Nate taking the blame for the kitchen to be a hero to impress Nikki

Leia is the only one to call his sacrifice “heroic”

Leia organizing a gift for Nate as a thank you

Leia obsessing over why Nate would do it (leading to a fight with Jay)

Leia going into the men’s bathroom and threatening a professional wrestler for an autographed belt for Nate

Nate commenting to Red that he didn’t want to have to settle for his “second choice” like Red did (as if Kitty could be Red’s second choice, come on)

Leia attempting to convince Betsy to break up with Nate and spending time with her (risky move considering how Jay clearly feels about Betsy)

Leia attempting to look out for Nate by telling him he needs to break up with Betsy

Otis suggesting to Nate to say he cheated on Betsy with Leia

The recreation of the That 70s show intro with Nate as Eric and Leia as Donna

Leia obsessing over having her parents’ love story. Jay is her first love, but Nate is the boy next door.

We already see the cracks forming in Leia and Jay’s relationship. I mean this summer is the longest the couple has actually been around each other and Leia seemed pretty annoyed with Jay when he didn’t have any bro time with Nate. We’ll see how long they last over the course of a whole school year.

Meanwhile Nate and Nikki are back together but have yet to actually address the reasons they broke up in the first place. It’s great that Nate believes in Nikki but a fair chunk of part 3 was her complaining about how he wasn’t a very good boyfriend to her (I think he’s in a much better place to be a better boyfriend post Betsy, but still). Nikki and Nate are the Kelso and Jackie relationship dynamic of the series and that relationship was not built to last. I know Kelso and Jackie are married in the show but that has more to do with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis being married irl than there characters’ compatibility. Also everything we hear about Kelso and Jackie’s marriage is just a bunch of red flags.

Am I being delusional? Probably. But I’ve been in this boat before and that ship sailed beautifully into the sunset, so maybe it will happen again.

If I missed and Nate and Leia moments from part 3 please let me know. I love them so much.

I was having trouble getting in That 90′s Show, for the main reason being the continuity errors of the timeline.

You see, The final episode of That 70′s show ended on New Year’s Eve 1979/1980.  Leia is a teenager in 1995.  Which raises the obvious question, HOW OLD IS LEIA, WHEN WAS SHE CONCEIVED, AND WHO IS HER BIOLOGICAL FATHER???

Eric wasn’t in the final season of That 70s show.  He broke up with Donna and went off to college.  In the final season of TSS (1979), Donna was dating a guy named Randy, but she broke up with him just before the season finale.

This means that if Leia was conceived anywhere between October 1979 and December 1979, She would be just on the cusp of turning 15 in the summer of 1995.  Now it feels pretty unlikely that Donna would have been 3 months pregnant during the series finale and wouldn’t have realized it, so let’s focus on the more likely scenario.  (Edit:  After watching a few more episodes, Leia has her 15th birthday in the summer of 1995.  Either she was reeeeaally premature, or Randy is her bio dad.)

Eric came back to Point Place during the season finale, and he and Donna got back together.  This reunion resulted in them getting frisky, and Leia was conceived on New Years 1980, making her birthday sometime in early October 1980, which would mean that Leia is 14 and 9 months old during That 90s Show.  Now this brings up a lot of concerns about her drinking and smoking at such a young age, but it brings up an even bigger concern and that is:  HOW OLD IS JAY KELSO AND HOW DOES HE EXIST??????

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE WAS NOT AROUND FOR THE FINAL SEASON OF THAT 70s SHOW??? MICHAEL KELSO!!!  And on top of that Jackie was dating Fez in 1979. Jackie definitely was not pregnant, had never been pregnant, and even if she was, how would Kelso have been the father?  And we can only infer that Jay is older than Leia, because he is friends with Gwen’s older brother, Nate.  And Nate and Jay have been friends "for 12 years”.

So the writers are trying to tell me that Jay Kelso is 16 in 1995??? That would mean that he would have had to have been born in 1979!  And look at how much that kid looks like Michael Kelso! That’s definitely Kelso’s son, and not an adopted child.  BUT HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE IF MICHAEL KELSO DIDN’T HAVE A SON IN 1979?!?!?!?

BUT WAIT!

MICHAEL KELSO WAS A PARENT IN 1979!!!!!

Kelso was gone during the final season because he had knocked up a girl named Brooke at a concert, and moved away to help raise his “baby girl” with Brooke.  Which means that this baby would be 16 in 1995!  Which means that there can be only one in canon explanation for the existence of Jay Kelso!

Brooke and Kelso didn’t work out, and after they broke up, Kelso moved back to Wisconsin with his child 12 years ago.  He reconnected with Jackie, and they eventually got married.  Jackie adopted Kelso’s child, and became a really great stepmom who made it clear that she loved her child unconditionally.  Jay knew how much his dad and step mom loved him, and therefore felt comfortable coming out to them as trans when he was in his early teens.  Kelso and Jackie accepted their son with open arms

Brooke was also the valedictorian, which means that when Kelso says Jay “has my looks and his mother’s brains! He gets straight A’s!” He is referring to Jay’s bio mom, Brooke.  

So in conclusion, Jay Kelso is trans, and Michael and Jackie are amazing parents.  Also Jay is probably on T because Jackie scared the shit out of some poor doctor.

That ‘90s Show Part 3 - My Thoughts

Real life was real life’in this week 😅, so I’m just now able to share my thoughts re: the newest That ‘90s Show episodes.

Overall, another wonderful installment! The actors have definitely settled into their characters, and I’m invested in their storylines and relationships (beyond just Eric, Donna, and Leia). Reception to part 3 so far seems very positive. I’m going to remain hopeful it will get another season!

More thoughts beneath the cut:

It’s sort of stream of consciousness rambling, lol.

-Leia, my love. The wrestling storyline in episode 1 was funny. I loved seeing Leia’s persuasive, edgy side come out when she secured the autograph, much like back in the pilot when she got the tap from Mama. She’s really come into her own as a character this season.

-So much appreciation for the Doug Funnie and Porkchop cameos! 😆 As a child of the ‘90s, Doug was one of my favorite cartoons! And Red and Kitty’s Beanie Babies plot was… strange, lol, but funny. And it was nice to see them in cahoots. I knew Beanie Babies were going to make an appearance at some point, because they’re such a quintessentially ’90s thing. Remember how they gave away mini ones at McDonald’s for a while, and people went nuts? It was a strange time.

-Okay, the scene at the kitchen table with Red, Kitty, Leia and Donna after she broke the shower head genuinely had me cackling. And Donna gets another gold star mom award for the way she talked to Leia about it afterwards. I love how good of a mom she is. Hits me right in my feels. 🥹

-Jay and Leia… okay, probably an unpopular opinion but I just feel so lukewarm about them! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t dislike them, I don’t ship them, they’re fine, I just don’t feel emotionally connected to them. Their first time didn’t elicit any big feelings or emotions from me. Their cliffhanger at the end - meh, I don’t really care if they stay together or break up. I remain more interested in seeing Leia explore other relationships - with Gwen or Nate, for instance - but she didn’t have many storylines apart from those with Jay or her family this time. Maybe it was foreshadowing to have Leia admit she expects to have a life long love like her parents do, and her friends reminding her that’s not realistic at all…

-Betsy! She reminds me of Brooke a bit and also Laurie, but mostly feels like her own character. Her relationship with Nate also reminds me of Kelso/Brooke’s relationship and Kelso/Laurie’s, in turns. She is much smarter than him but seems bemused and oddly charmed by the simple Nate, ala Brooke. And she’s manipulative, dominant, and sex-positive, ala Laurie. The scene where Nate tried to break up with her and she said no (😂) literally mirrors the Kelso and Laurie one from T70S. I definitely believed her as a Kelso, but you can tell she has intelligence her brother does not (thanks, Brooke) and seems serious about college/school in addition to having sex. A good mix of her parents, overall, and I enjoyed seeing her interactions with Jay and all the Kelso family lore we learned about this season!

-Kelso family lore: Jay and Betsy’s quibble - “Dad stayed with MY mom!” shows some underlying resentment/competition between the siblings, and also reveals that Kelso and Jackie took a 3 year break at some point (which we already kind of knew, due to their multiple remarriages) during which Kelso went back to Brooke (unclear)? Jay’s line about the time the entire Kelso family went to therapy for 20 minutes and the therapist told them they’re all afraid to love themselves was interesting, too.

-Okay, it was actually very sweet how Kitty found Isaac for Ozzie. I’ve enjoyed his arc this season: his heartbreak over Etienne, finding a queer community, his horror over being the last virgin *lol*, and now his blossoming relationship with Isaac. He seems more confident about himself and his sexuality than ever before. And his dry sense of humor always makes me laugh.

-We got to meet Gwen’s dad! I enjoyed him, his backstory, and his interactions with both Sherri and Gwen. Hoping we might see him again. Also, this shuts down the ‘Hyde is Gwen’s dad’ theories for good.

-The Jay and (Not So) Silent Bob schtick is so-so to me, but I did laugh at how they were following ‘their kids’ Ozzie and Isaac at the movies 😂.

-We got some good Eric nuggets! Starting with Eric and Donna being the same height in their wedding pictures - which I would cut my pinky finger off to see, btw. He lands his dream job working with George Lucas on Skywalker Ranch (I looked it up, and yes it’s a real place) and writing a book about the new Star Wars movies. Gets him out of the picture more permanently, but still leaves the door open for him to visit/return for a holiday episode or something. Loved Donna’s conversation with him on the phone, and imagining her helping him get settled out in California and visiting. And then Kitty’s comment about Donna drooling on his chest when they sleep - 🥹. My favorite detail yet.

-(Did anybody else think of the scene in T70S where Eric and Donna were discussing going to premarital counseling and Donna said they’d learn things about each other, like for instance what if one day she gets a high paying job in California - will he move? And then Eric is like ‘Whoa, why can’t I be the one to get the high paying job?’)

-Oh my god, I loved the ending sequence of them all in the car, dressed like the T70S characters and imitating the opening credits. Loved, loved, LOVED. When Leia put her hands on the dashboard like Donna, I think my shipper heart exploded. 🥰

-Donna and Bob’s moment on the car was very sweet (as was Bob reminiscing over Midge - this feels like confirmation that she’s passed away in-universe). I also thought it was poignant how Donna realizes (and values) both Eric and Leia’s happiness and doesn’t want to take that away, yet feels lost herself and is thus having difficulty making this decision. And then ultimately, she decides to just go back and forth between her two favorite people. 🥰

-The Clueless fantasy!!!!! Yes. So much yes. (I really enjoyed all of the ‘90s references this season)

-Wow. Sherri really is a Laurie clone (*cough* replacement *cough*). The fact that she’s done it with everyone - including the judge at Kitty’s court hearing. She’s earnest and often well meaning, but trips over her words and her relationships. Red and Kitty have so much to teach her. It’s a very parental relationship. Really makes you think about what could have been…

-This season made me such a NikNate shipper. I was kind of starting to come around to them after part 2, but their arc at the end where Nate believes in her musical talent and sells his van to buy back her guitar really got me. Nate is really winning me over, in general. #OTP: You’ll Always Be My Baby

-Ooh, that cliffhanger! Will Donna let Leia stay in Point Place now? Will she have to go to Our Lady Of Perpetual Sorrow? Will Leia forgive Jay for stealing her grandma’s keys? Stay tuned to find out! 😁

Hi, I like Nate more than most people too and was wondering if you ship him with Leia--love your blog!

Thanks so much for the ask!

Nate's a funny character and I think I have a soft spot for him because aside from Red/Kitty he made me laugh the most when I watch 'Rave' being filmed. Also I loved his scenes with Red in that episode and hope season two will give us more of Nate and Uncle Red scenes lol

As far as shipping Nate and Leia, I'm not against the pairing but I'm not eagerly over here hoping that they end up together next season. It could be a fun pair two see together, they do seem to have several things in common.

I feel like I'm still getting to know these characters and can't exactly say I have any solid ships in the show aside from Red and Kitty. Other than that, I enjoyed the pairings we saw on the show but am also enjoying other pairings being explore in fanfic while we wait for season 2.

Thanks so much for the ask once again!
