#like I understand it’s iconic for a reason but

[northern-embrace]

After Jon and Sansa reunion scene, they talk and I loved most things about this: Sansa wearing borrowed furs, sharing memories of Old Nan’s pies, the soft soft soft glances, the iconic “where will we go.” Basically the only thing I hated about that scene was when Sansa was like, forgive me to Jon and it hinges on that assumption that she was a bully to Jon when NOTHING in the books says she was a bully and it also made watchers assume that there was a hostile childhood relationship in showverse.

In books: Like, Sansa and Arya insulted each other. Arya is just as disparaging to Sansa.

Robb is the one that gets angry (as kids) at Jon:

That morning he called it first. "I'm Lord of Winterfell!" he cried, as he had a hundred times before. Only this time, this time, Robb had answered, “You can't be Lord of Winterfell, you're bastard-born. My lady mother says you can't ever be the Lord of Winterfell."

A Storm of Swords -Jon XII

Arya cries fearing she was a bastard like Jon.

Bran calls Jon a bastard.

And Sansa?

He missed the girls too, even Sansa, who never called him anything but "my half brother" since she was old enough to understand what bastard meant.

A Game of Thrones -Jon III

Like she even gets hate for this by the fandom. How is she worse for calling him half-brother when 1. It’s the truth as they know it then. 2. She’s actually kinder to Jon than her status deems she has to be. 3. There’s a glorification of rest of the Stark children (lol Robb, Arya, Bran) for ignoring class unlike Sansa— when actually they don’t. Their class privilege shows up in other ways (Arya with Mycah. Bran with Hodor. Robb literally gets murdered after messing up politically.)

4. They’re all children.

But somehow Sansa is ever the lightning rod of misogynist hate in this fandom so she’s the villain and bully when every other Stark is as flawed as she is.

Oh. And like Jon’s a bully too as a kid if you wanna interpret everything they do as kids and freakin hold that against then as adults. He disguised himself as a ghost to scare the other kids, Sansa runs away screaming.

After he gives Needle to Arya, they both say “Don’t tell Sansa!” so yeah she’s likely a tattletale bc she likes rules but also, well Jon gave Arya a weapon and she later kills a boy with it. Like, you can also say that Sansa is being isolated amongst her own siblings which I think is also interesting bc personality wise she’s a quiet Ned while Robb is like Brandon, Arya like Lyanna and Bran stands in for younger bro Benjen.

So yeah, Sansa has no reason to apologize to Jon not really.

Although the Stark sisters gotta apologize to each other. But not like the stupid drama Arya implies she’ll kill her own sister to become Lady of Winterfell haha jkjk it’s just to hide killing LF but D&D’s show gotta bank on shock value first.

Friendly reminder that Sansa never bullied Jon in the books or the show. She never treated him poorly or discriminated against him for being a bastard.

In the books, Sansa is observant enough to (correctly) identify Jon’s distaste of Joffrey as jealousy and expresses genuine compassion for him.

In the show, Sansa apologizes to Jon as part of her “Sansa Unnecessarily Apologizing To Men” Train, but we never actually saw her being “awful” to him. Not once.

The only people who treated Jon badly for being a bastard were Catelyn, Theon, and Robb. Robb is literally the only Stark sibling who ever called Jon “bastard” as an insult, not Sansa.

Against the Kitchen Floor (Will Wood)

And I swear! I will die trying!/I'm still in the process, but I'm making progress; I promise I honestly wanna prove improvement's possible, I swear!/I'm so fucking sorry! I'm not a good person, I'm barely a person at all, But someday I'll be perfect, and I'll make up for it all!

Less rare than scarce, less diamond then rough/Unlikely to be more than just the coal you failed to crush

I'm catatonic in your arms, crying, "How did I cause so much harm?"/I'm down pounding my head against the kitchen floor/Apologizing for my life and ever entering yours

The vertex of my redemption arc/I’m searching on that virgin heart

"The raw emotion! And I strongly relate to desperately wanting to improve for someone you love. I belt out this song when I feel really hopeless"

"my one OC. also me. also it's just a really good song. one of will's best imo. screaminbg"

"Literally hits almost all of my self-esteem issues. Feeling like people only care about you for your body? Check. Not understanding why anyone would want you? Check. Thinking that all you do is hurt people? Check. I don't cry very often but this song DEFINITELY made me teary"

"one of those if u aren’t paying attention to the lyrics ur like this is nice but once u hear them its an OW holy OW and guilt and I’m sorry feelings"

"Just. Loving someone but not feeling like you’re good enough and trying to improve."

"Not only does this song have lyrics that are deeply relatable to me, but this song also feels very deeply personal to the artist and I feel that anyone who listens to it for the first time has that same feeling of getting punched in the gut. Just the lyrics and the melody and Will Wood’s vocals make this song an absolute masterpiece and I cry every time I hear it."

"One reason I'm attached to this song is because my friend sent it to me and said "I'm kin assigning you this song" and ruined my life (/j) It messed me up because I've always had a hard time in my life figuring myself out and dealing with my emotions, and for what feels like the first time, this song has been able to near perfectly describe how I feel about myself and my impact on other people, and it always just meant so much to me that my friend who sent it to me knows me better than I know myself and shared the song with me and I love them dearly."

Tongues and Teeth (The Crane Wives)

If you're fine with that you can be mine.... I WILL POISON ALL YOUR HAPPY THOUGHTS!/I WILL LOVE YOU LIKE THE ASHES IN MY CIGARETTE BOX!

I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel/It's all that I can give to you, my dear/And when you come in quick to steal a kiss/My teeth will only cut your lips, my dear

And I know that you mean so well/But I am not a vessel for your good intent

"I quote the above passage."

"It sounds happy until you listen to the lyrics and then you're like. Oh"

"Can I submit The Crane Wives whole catalog? Just every song they've ever made? Tongues & Teeth is so good tho so I'll make it my flagship, its both so personal and so universal cause you can interpret it in so many ways to apply it to so many blorbos. I've applied it to 10 and it fits and hits different every time. Absolutely Iconic song."

What is something that you feel like the show didn't talk about or explain more on in TOWL and or TWD about Richonnes relationship or friendship?? I thought in TOWL Michonne would have asked what happened to Rick that left him injured on the bridge. Can u rank the TOWL episodes in your opinion about which one is the best and not as good? Can u also rank each episode 1-10 and give a reason why u gave it that number? Merry Christmas and I u have a wonderful new year 🥰🤩

Thank you! I hope it’s been a great holiday season for you as well. I think I’ll always remember 2024 as the Year of Richonne because we got to witness their beautiful return in TOWL and I got to revel in them all year with you all which I’ve really appreciated.

For the 1st question - I think in TWD it would’ve been impactful to have seen Richonne’s first discussion about Andre. They did subtly reference Andre once in season 8, but I think showing how that initial discussion about him went would just add even more insight into how Michonne and Rick connect, understand, and confide in each other. For TOWL, that would be interesting to have seen them share their side of what happened on the day Rick disappeared.

A TOWL episode ranking feels like the perfect thing to share on the last day of 2024. 😊 I wrote out my list from lowest to highest below. Happy New Year to everyone & thanks for reveling with me over here! 🥂💗:

TOWL Episode Ranking

#6: Episode 5 (7/10)

This one is in 6th place mainly because I felt the cuts to Jadis and Father Gabriel weren’t the most engaging and took up more time than it needed and I wasn’t really feeling the one-dimensional sibling trio. However, when it comes to the Richonne content in this episode, I absolutely loved their scenes together. 🤩 That souvenir shop scene and the lovely proposal were some of my favorite moments from the series.

#5: Episode 6 (7/10)

The Grimes family reunion was gold and so was the episode's opener. Plus, I liked the scene where Rick tells Michonne how much he missed her and when he shares he's mad about the time he missed seeing their kids growing up. There was just a few dialogue moments that I found forced or unnatural scattered throughout the ep. I didn’t mind how they handled the CRM stuff and wrapped up their plan tho. Some parts were a bit of a stretch, such as Pearl surviving that explosion, but overall I was fine with it. And seeing Rick and Michonne get their happy ending with their kids was everything. 🥹

#4: Episode 3 (8/10)

Episode 3 was a really good midpoint episode with a great memorable ending. For an episode where Rick and Michonne barely converse with each other, they did a great job of still having so much tension and impactful exchanges. This episode proved that all those two have to do is look at each other and it can communicate oh so much. Rick and Michonne having conflict and different approaches on how to save each other was interesting to see. Highlights from the episode were the scene when Michonne speaks to the portratist, Rick and Michonne's hot and heavy moment behind that boneless tree, and of course, Michonne yanking Rick out of a helicopter at the end. 🤭

#3: Episode 1 (8.5/10)

This was such a compelling premiere to me. Andy’s return as Rick Grimes in this episode was excellent as always and Okafor had such an impactful presence in just one short episode. I thought ep 1 did a great job of showing us the toll these years have taken on Rick and how the most resilient man could break and shut down the way he did. Rick finally deciding to stop fighting to get home strictly because he was willing to sacrifice himself to keep his family safe - the heartbreak and dejectedness Rick felt was palpable, especially in his final letter to Michonne. And I adore the dreams he had of Michonne in this episode. I’ll never forget how overjoyed I was hearing Rick say “5 pizzas and a wedding ring” the first time and realizing Richonne was going to reunite by the end of the episode. Iconic. 🙌🏽

#2: Episode 2 (9/10)

Man did they deliver with that Richonne reunion. 🔥 For that moment to be as highly anticipated as it was, it was going to be a tall order to successfully orchestrate Rick and Michonne’s first time seeing each other in years and they truly rose to the occasion and delivered something special. I loved seeing Danai reprise the role of Michonne and pick up where she left off from TWD, meeting one of my favorite additions to the TWD cast - Nat. Like Okafor, Nat made such a lasting impact in just one episode. It also makes a lot of sense why Danai got recognized for her performance in this episode because she knocked it out of the park with the emotion she infused into each scene. And then, Andy joined right with her once Richonne reunited. Another thing I love about ep 2 is that the Richonne reunion was already so well done but then they went and gave this episode an equally great Richonne scene between the CRM vehicles too. We were spoiled and I love that for us. 😇

#1: Episode 4 (10/10)

'What We' easily tops the list. Episode 4 is such a meaningful masterpiece to me and to so many. I’d list highlight moments from the ep but every scene is a highlight. Genuinely. 👏🏽 Just the other day I was thinking about the dialogue in this episode and started tearing up just thinking about it. What Danai crafted with this episode is so powerful and unforgettable. And Andy and Danai's performances were incredible. I love that this episode focused on just Rick and Michonne in one location, letting these actors and these characters shine.

There are so few things I’d give a 10 out of 10 to but this deserves it. I couldn’t ask for more. To watch two characters who love each other more than anyone has loved someone start the episode with more conflict than we’ve ever seen them have only to believably and powerfully reconcile by the end of the episode and bring each other back to life. Just wow. 😭❤️‍🔥

I’ve already said so much about Episode 4 but I can feel myself ready to type yet another novel about how exceptional this piece of television was. Before this gets even longer, I’ll just say that TOWL overall was already a big achievement for the franchise but Episode 4 is TOWL’s crowning jewel, and I’ll forever be in awe of how great and special that episode was in depicting the beauty of Richonne. 👑😌

My hottest Transformers related take is that I think The Touch is the least good song of the The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack

[mywitchyblog]

GWORLLLLLLLLL, YOU ARE SO RIGHT. Let me just take a moment to acknowledge your bravery for tackling this on TikTok—like, the gods-forsaken platform that’s practically the Bermuda Triangle of nuanced discussions. The fact that you not only addressed this but did so with clarity and composure? Iconic. 👏✨

Now, let me expand on your already-perfect post (which was a chef’s kiss dismantling of the nonsense).

Like, can we just pause to marvel at the way you single-handedly annihilated the “aging out” myth here? 💥

Now let’s mix in that TikTok wisdom you dropped: "You can shift to where you are still a senior, time is not linear so don’t fret, you can’t run out of it." You’re absolutely right. Shifting isn’t bound by linear time, so the entire idea of “aging out” is absurd. Thank you for putting that out there, especially in a space where people are so quick to throw shade at ideas they clearly don’t understand.

Here’s the Real Tea (and Why These Shiftokers Are Wildin’):

WHEN YOU SHIFT, YOU BECOME YOUR DR SELF. Like, 100%, no question. Your CR self doesn’t hitch a ride—it’s gone. Poof. Bye-bye. You fully embody your DR self, including their mindset, memories, and yes, even their age. If you’re a teenager in your DR, you’re not some 20-something “playing pretend.” You are that teenager in every sense. Period. Full stop. The fact that people are out here acting like this isn’t the case? Girl, I’m cackling. 🙄

This Whole “I’m Aging Out of My DRs” Narrative Is a Hot Mess. The pressure people are putting on themselves to shift before turning 18 or risk being labeled “problematic” is pure nonsense. Shifting is supposed to be freeing—y’know, “infinite possibilities” and “you have all the time in the world.” But no, suddenly there’s a deadline? Like, be for real. This logic is exhausting and completely unsustainable.

And it gets even more ridiculous when you think about DRs tied to specific life stages. If your DR is “The Vampire Diaries,” which is all about high school drama, aging up to a college DR or beyond makes the plot fall apart. What are we supposed to do, shift to a version of TVD where the Salvatore brothers are discussing retirement plans? Stop it. Similarly, “How to Get Away with Murder” is college-centric. Are you going to rewrite the entire narrative for no reason? The math isn’t mathing, babes. 😭

Aging Down Isn’t Weird—It’s Practical. The funniest part? These same people who freak out about aging down are totally fine aging up for DRs. Like, what’s the difference? If you’re cool with aging up to be a DR CEO or wizard elder, then aging down to relive prom or experience high school friendships should be just as valid. It’s all about embodying your DR self, so stop making it weird. If anything, the idea that you can’t age down is what’s nonsensical.

What’s Next? Limiting DRs Based on Your CR Age? This aging-up-only mindset is the slippery slope to nonsense. Are these people really suggesting that by the time you’re 50, you’re only allowed to shift to DRs for middle-aged or elderly people? Like, enjoy your bingo hall DRs, I guess? Meanwhile, the rest of us are thriving across infinite realities, being teenagers, college students, or even dinosaurs because we understand the actual mechanics of shifting. Time is nonlinear, babes, and your possibilities are limitless. Get with the program. 🎲🦖

The Bottom Line:

When will these people realize that no matter what, you will fully embody your DR self? Aging up, down, or not at all—it doesn’t matter. Once you shift, you are completely aligned with that reality. So let’s stop pretending this is some deep ethical issue when it’s really just projection and misunderstanding from people who haven’t even shifted themselves. 🙃

Thank you for putting this out there, both on Tumblr and TikTok. You’re breaking down barriers in the shifting community, and I’m living for it. Let the naysayers keep spinning their wheels while you—and the rest of us who get it—thrive in infinite realities. Mic drop.

Last time I posted about people who don't want to age themselves down/ are highly against it. Now look what I saw on tiktok. My issue with this type of mentality is that It makes Your original reality look invincible and that it's the most important reality, that it's not like any other one. so just because you are in college in this reality doesn't mean you don't get to be a dinosaur or a teenager in the late 1870s in another one. Saying affirmations like "I am more than my body, I am eternal, I am only consciousness" while simultaneously being attached to a specific character of yourself from this reality to this degree is diabolical. You are a soul, a soul that have lived a million different lives before it reached this one. you are infinite years of age. so unbeknownst to you anywhere you're shifting, you are actually aging yourself down so that you can experience that life.

I'm not in 100 years reading wind, so what's the nightstar stuff as well as the harelight execution scene?

The Nightstar Stuff is that they're constantly making it clear they KNOW that cats can lie about getting the 9 lives, they KNOW that a murderer can receive the lives, and they KNOW that StarClan has never rejected an evil cat before... but then they handwave it away because they don't wanna do anything.

Nightstar/Nightpelt gets namedropped six times and vaguely alluded to a dozen more, but it means nothing to the story. You could have just forgotten him entirely and the plot would happen the same way.

Most of this book is the leaders finding excuses to sit on their butts, but I really only need to share one exchange to demonstrate just HOW stupid this is,

"I'd like to think that the ancestors would speak up." A+ logic Squirrelflight. Just believe that reality won't happen. If you cover your eyes it makes the maneating lion bowling towards your face go away. Soblem prolved.

Just from observation, putting glados in any kind of poll is like. Okay so she's going to win. We know she's the robot god queen of tumblr at this point. Feel free to keep putting her in tourneys that she's going to win.

SORRY this is so fucking funny. van is like oh, my crush likes another guy. that really fucking sucks because i kinda thought she liked me? god. and then she invites him over and tackles him onto her couch.

My favorite part of the anime messing up the timeline is that it imply that Akane just doesn’t give a single fuck about nene in the slightest and Hanako doesn’t give a fuck about his job as leader of the 7 mysteries like in the manga it’s established here that Akane is aware of Hanako in the weird hair style even with his glasses

The same scene happens in the anime but with out the clock keeper arc and thus the following scene with Nene and Akane in home economics

So like the implication is that Akane saw this random ass ghost just absolutely harassing this classmate who he’s like mutual friends with (like in the since they there both besties with Aoi) and just was like welp ok then I’m not gonna address that.

He even talks to Nene later in the episode and is just like “yea Aois the best I’d rather die than not have Aoi” (which looking back is also wild) like I get Aois in that scene to so he can’t go “why you being harassed by the ghost my grandpa says is slimy” but still he really just went yea ima ignore that

ALSO on the opposite side of the coin Hanako:

He’s also clearly shown to be able to sense Akanes magic and stuff. SO HANAKO IS ALSO BULLLSHITTING HERE. Bro also went: lol I sense a school mystery ima ignore that. It’s not like that could be like important or anything lololol.

Anyway the anime version of this scene is basically Hanako and Akane going: yea that seems like something I can ignore and not address fr fr

In conclusion, just like maybe dont mess up the timeline of manga in the anime?????

a bestie can be anything. a bestie can be the 2007 roblox chain chomp face changer. ive known him since childhood. we grew up together. he literally changed my face and it was so cool. i hope he's still out there causing a ruckus and shit.

I finally got around to watching Arcane’s final part and like all parts it’s so beautiful. It really is. But Arcane kinda has the same problem with MHA for me as in the ending is actually pretty satisfying but how we get there could have been so much better.

Don’t get me wrong MHA’s problems were seasons in the making. Arcane actually suffers from the opposite problem there just wasn’t enough time. Like I don’t know why they felt Arcane should be a 2 season show I can only hope it wasn’t a studio pulling the strings (I want to say Netflix would never but yes they would no other company so against the idea of success like them)

But yeah not that Arcane couldn’t have been a 2 season show the 1st season wraps up its main conflicts pretty nicely honestly if not for the cliffhanger and some other lingering plot lines it could have been a good stand alone. But there was just soooooo much happening in season 2. With season one at the core of the story no matter what craziness happened at its core it was about the tragedy of 2 sisters and that was its grounding piece. Season 2 just had nothing like that. It could have been Jayce and Viktor with how that’s kind of the main conflict? This season and given the resolution but Jayce is barely in the thing 😭. They have one moment together and then don’t really interact again until the final part. I just needed more honestly form every relationship.

The only relationship I felt was kind of properly developed was Isha and Jinx (even tho they kind of dropped the ball a bit after she died) but like you actually kind of see that relationship grow. I wish we got more of heiminger and ekko’s new proffesor student relationship (u wish we got more of ekko period honestly) ekko has a way of barely being in the season and then pulling up at the most important moment for a huge blow out in the final part. I just think it would have made Heimidinger’s (I am butchering this name forgive me) sacrifice for ekko more meaniful (not that I don’t think he wouldn’t have literlaly done that for anyone but it would have been nice to see that relationship develop in particular them getting lost in time together and all)

And the getting lost in the multiverse/time thing was really good I really liked it. It needed to be more than 1 episode. I wish we could have really sat with it. The horrors Jayce was experiencing and this new reality that ekko is faced with (like don’t get me wrong for one episode they did a lot and it’s so beautiful it would have just hit harder if it was longer)

Don’t even get me started on Mel and the black rose I still do not understand what that was all about. That definetly needed a whole season dedicated to just that and not (I hate to use the word shoved) but shoved in as a C plot to Viktor’s cult.

For a season they (hopefully) knew going in that this would be their last they were trying to accomplish so much in just 9 episodes like yes they are about an hour each but they are still just 9 episodes. Honestly we don’t even spend enough time with maddy to care about her betrayal. I felt more about Ambessa’s right hand’s death because at least he’s kind of been a steady presence through out the season. I don’t know what was going on with Loris. I though he would have more to do they kept giving him little moments where it felt like he knew more than he was letting on but I guess not? He really was just some guy?…..well okay.

I love the Vander reunion I love it so much the fight was epic the resolution was epic god the fucking memory sequence with the water color kill me now. But again I wish we had more time we just got him back and now we are losing him again drag that shit out really make it hurt twist the knife deeper give us a couple episodes let us truly believe that everything might be okay and then throw that shit in our face that would have hit so much harder. (Well that’s just me though)

There’s was so much happening this season. It all felt like build up it felt like build up till literlaly the last 30 minutes of the show. It just felt like there was no proper middle the show just kept building and building and then tried to cram ever resolution in the last 2 hours. (I know they didn’t fully reveal the what the Black Rose drama was because of this Noxian show they are planning but I don’t know I just didn’t like how they left things 😭 Mel was barely in the season and then she’s back and there’s so much left unsaid and 😭😭😭)

I might be in the minority but I just really didn’t know what to make of Jinx’s arc. Like I can see the parallels and the beauty of it but at the same time it just didn’t click for me. I know she’s probably not dead like I’m not even going to pretend she is. But yeah. Same with Vi honestly. Vi felt so passive this season shes just kind of being led around.

I just think the pain problem this season was that there was no central story. There was no grounding piece that the story all revolves around. And I hate to be an advocate of taking stories centered around women and focusing on the men there but Giving how it ended (and honestly I’m not mad at it) and just the whole hectech being at the center of it all this season, it should have been Jayce and Viktor their relationship should have taken center stage they should have been this seasons Powder/Jinx and Vi the parallels are literally already there. One being consumed by everything they thought they wanted but not like this and the other still after everything trying desperately to reach them (mostly through a lot of violence) they even have the falling out like Vi and Powder did at the end of the first part. But their relationship just wasn’t explored enough for me to really say it was the center of the season. It would also flow well with the general established conflict Vander and Silco mirroring Jinx and Vi mirroring Jayce and Viktor (I personally don’t ship them nor do I think of them as overtly sibling coded I can just see the parallels it is not my fault the other characters are either siblings or heavily sibling coded 😭 but don’t come for me)

Honestly the most developed relationship this season was Cait and Jinx and that mirror they hold up to each other as blue haired girlies manipulated by desperation grief and power. And I enjoyed that. Caitlyn in general got a lot of good screen time this season that I love taht for her.

I don’t want to harp on about the negative because there was so much that I loved about arcane it is such a beautiful story and I know the story isn’t technically finished atleast I don’t think so and maybe mine and everybody’s expectations where impossible to live up to. But I do still genuinely think it is one of the best pieces of television out there and all in all it was a truly amazing season of television that we were so lucky to experience.

Also the music was just straight banger after banger. Like Whoever curated that playlist? You need a raise like asap.

Is there any song/songs that make you think of Joe’marr? I keep thinking about them listening to Troye Sivans album 😊 (I’d also like to thank you for your Joe/Ja’marr/Joe’marr/bengals tags bc I’ve totally fallen in love with the team v v quickly 😅)

my biggest issue with percy's competence in the show isn't about him being smart or knowledgeable or anything.. but more about how an mc should function in a hidden fantasy story. they are supposed to be more distanced from everything. they are supposed to be confused and not know what tf is going on. because that's a big part of what makes them relatable to the audience. it's like an entire angle when it comes to world building--introducing the mc and the reader to everything at the same time. we are able to put ourselves in the mc's shoes and also learn things in a way that feels natural. but with percy just.. spouting greek myths he's apparently known forever (bc of him mom and mythomagic etc.) it distances him. it removes a lot of the meta reasons of why he was kept from this greater magical world for so long.

the idea of a Gayest Player In The NHL bracket at all is already in poor taste to some degree bc i get everyone loves to make the “they’re so gay for each other fr” jokes but the condition of the actual league and its actions right now is like. you do understand why calling these people Gay Icons (Positive) for funny haha jokes is just. at best inappropriate timing, yes? but the idea of literally including one of the guys who got pride nights cancelled with his homophobia is just. can we take a minute to realize that hockey fandom doesn’t take place in a void completely unconnected to reality and see that this is just. a Really Bad Look. at best.
