The Creeping Doom Liveblog

Full disclosure, I watched this one already recently. But this'll still be a train-of-thought liveblog, just not a first impression.

MIKEY STOP FUCKING AROUND IN DONNIE'S LAB I LOVE YOU MIKEY AND I KNOW YOU JUST HAVE UNMEDICATED ADHD BUT PLEASE SWEETIE THERE'S EXPLOSIVES AND POISONS AND ACIDS ALL AROUND YOU

Mikey- oh Mikey...

Mikey has a photographic memory, which is cool but also concerning given all the horrifying shit they see all the time

This episode upsets me because April is the only one to actually show concern for Donnie's dementia-like symptoms and no-one notices him constantly scratching that burn. It makes me mad at everyone but April.

CREEP DRANK BRAIN JUICE NOW HE SMART LAD- god the breathing sounds are distressing

Oh he's so distressed, he just looks sad, he's not even like frustrated now he's just upset and confused...

Hey wait Mikey slipped in the Brain Eating Juice but it doesn't affect him during the episode. More Magic Mikey Evidence?

Oh poor Mikey, he's so upset about being blamed and so desperate to help out, he must be wondering if his accident earlier lead to this. Awww he's trying to make them laugh... sweet boy... his RSD must be going nuts right now

ICE CREAM KITTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

You sense something is wrong? I'll say HIS NEURONS ARE DYING

Okay yeah Donnie puts too much burden on himself, yes, but the rest of you don't help. He takes on those burdens because he's been conditioned to, by everyone relying on him all the time for all the answers. Including you, Splinter. Everyone takes advantage of him and he feels the pressure of it.

HEY APRIL THERE'S GLOWING GREEN EYES BEHIND SPLINTER MAYBE NOTICE THAT

NOOOOOOO ICE CREAM KITTYYYYYYYY DON'T MELT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This Jason Vorhees-ass bitch- HOLY FUCK HE CHOKED LEO OUT

He needed to glow for a second before an idea same to him, it happens.

It kinda was your fault though, Mikey.

Oh Donnie he looks so confuseddddddd someone notice his itching his hand ohhhhh he just looks so sad and lost. Later in the episode they play it more as a joke but right now it's just making me think of dementia.

Awwwww his face playing the game though is adorable.

GUYS GUYS DONNIE WENT FROM SPEAKING FULL SENTENCES TO JUST MOANING TIREDLY IN LIKE TWO SECONDS MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING TO NOTE WITH CONCERN

Aw bless him he's trying.

Now he's making random sounds and staring at nothing, ohhhh it must be so awful god I hate the idea of losing your ability to think like he's losing it, this episode is so sad for him, must be terrifying

I JUST REALIZED THE FRIDAY THE 13TH SOUND THAT HAPPENS AROUDN THE CREEP IS SAYING "MUT-A-GEN" HOLY HELL HOW DID I ONLY JUST REALIZE THAT

LOVE that Raph gets to fight The Creep solo, he deserves some revenge stabs.

OH DONNIE IS HIDINGGG

OH AND THE MOMENT OF PANICKED LUCIDITY "I DON'T UNDERSTAND I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING" OH WHAT A FUCKING AWFUL THING TO EXPERIENCE

Oh he's so scareddddddddddd oh good the squirrel made him less so MY BOYYYYYYYYY

Andddddd now we're getting into his brain damage being more comedic and almost weed-high-like than dementia

Now they just told Rob Paulsen to make random laughs and annoying noises I think, just popped him into the booth and said "Make whatever noises and say whatever random lines you want, we'll animate around it."

I DON'T THINK A LOT OF MEDITATION WILL HELP SPLINTER (I shout this lovingly, I know he's just trying to find solutions among what he knows)

YEAH WELL NOT JUST THE MUTANT WASP MIKEY MAYBE ALSO REMIND THEM HOW YOU MADE THE RETROMUTAGEN A MILLION TIMES BETTER

They really all just watched Donnie chug that shit without even trying to grab it away.

PFFFFFT SPLINTER'S FACE WHY DID HE MAKE A "Well. Awkward..." EXPRESSION

HEY HEY GUYS MAYBE DON'T LEAVE THE VULNERABLE BRAIN-DAMAGED DONNIE ALONE AND UNPROTECTED DURING AN EARTHQUAKE THAT'S MAKING ROCKS FALL OUT OF THE CEILING MAYBE THAT'S A BAD IDEA

Ooooooh That's what the big wooden spiral is for, a periscope, ooooohhhhhh okay

I'd say they're being too harsh on Mikey and the episode proves Mikey was right but, also Mikey did still feed his brother unknown and dangerous chemicals

AWWWWWW DONNIE IN THE DRINK HATTTTTTTTT HE'S MAKING SUCH CUTE FACESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Highly doubtful" at least try motherfucker it worked on CURING POISON

Very fortunate that Donnie thought of the mower cart before his dementia serum debacle. Must be because he worried The Creep would be back someday.

LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

SHIT MIKEY ATE IT

Uhhhh why is this shot from behind? Weird vibe to that shot.

RAPHHHHHHHHHHH

MIKEY I LOVE THE CONFIDENCE BABY AND IT'S NOT UNWARRENTED BUT BE CAREFUL- YEAH SEE

YAY DONNIE TO THE RESCUE IN A NEW VEHICLE!!!!!!!!!!

Love that they showed us Donnie is back to normal by immediately having him use Big Latin Names Of Plants.

Evil Laugh Donnie Mad Scientist Donnie fuck him up my mad scientist boy!

Donnie please try to teach Mikey proper lab safety he clearly has a talent for this chemistry stuff.

WHY DOES PIZZA ALWAYS FINALIZE THE CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS IN TMNT STUFF IT MADE THE RETOMUTAGEN IN SECRET OF THE OOZE WORK IT MADE THE RETROMUTAGEN 2.0 IN THIS SHOW WORK NOW IT MAKES THE BRAIN JUICE WORK IS PIZZA MAGIC IN THEIR UNIVERSE??!?!?!?!

Donnie you're smirking about that subtle jab now but what this end card doesn't show is that two second later he ate shit so hard that he got yet more brain damage and Splinter had to use his Healing Spell and realized "Shit, his brain's more battered than out training dummy."

[gffa]

IF YOU STRIP CONTEXT OF THE REST OF THE SHOW--HELL, EVEN OF THE REST OF THIS EPISODE--FROM THIS SCENE, I can see how we should be siding entirely with Ahsoka, especially on the heels of the walkabout arc and her conflict with being drawn back towards the Jedi and the Jedi Order. Her points aren’t wrong, in the sense that she’s right that Obi-Wan is playing politics with this, but she’s stripping context and consequence out from the choice he faces and that’s specifically why he says, “That’s not fair.” and even Ahsoka herself says, “I’m not trying to be.” Her accusation is not fair. Because, let’s say that Obi-Wan did exactly what Ahsoka said--that he prioritized the people of Mandalore over saving the Chancellor.  We’re setting aside that this was a manipulation on Palpatine’s part and that Mandalore is a trap, only what we can see from Obi-Wan’s point of view and his motivations, his good faith assumptions on why rescuing the Chancellor is important. If they chose Mandalore over Coruscant, what would happen is: - They would be drawn into yet another war because they had broken a treaty, when they’re already stretched to the breaking point for this first war. - The Chancellor may be the one in trouble, but what does Ahsoka think will happen if the Chancellor dies or is ransomed back?  The Republic would be in chaos, the war effort is already balanced precariously, and none of them know that the Separatists aren’t the real threat.  Whatever good reasons many of the Separatists may have, they murder, enslave, and oppress the worlds they attack.  If the Republic loses the war, that’s what happens to every world in the Republic. - The Jedi might be more popular with people if they saved Mandalore, but would it really benefit the galaxy as a whole, given a good faith assumption on what these characters would know?  (There is no right answer to this question, of course.) Ahsoka is very nearly arguing for popularity over doing the more important thing, because this isn’t a situation where there aren’t consequences.  Mandalore needs their help, but so too does Coruscant and it’s not just about the Chancellor, it’s about the Republic as a whole.  And it even comes down to--why are politics bad?  I get that Ahsoka means that choosing your actions based on politics is a calculated sort of thing, but why is that bad?  Because Star Wars: Propaganda basically posited that that was the problem, that the Jedi didn’t play enough politics, that’s why their image was so bad. Ahsoka’s case for Mandalore could be argued to be the same thing--you want to win back the public’s faith, then you have to take this path.  That right there is politics, too. EVERYTHING IN THIS WAR IS POLITICS.  NOTHING CAN ESCAPE IT.  BECAUSE POLITICS IS EVERYTHING LIKE WE ARE LIVING IN A WORLD THAT HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT TO US VERY CLEARLY.  AND WE SHOULD ALL LEAN INTO POLITICS, RATHER THAN SEPARATING OURSELVES FROM THEM. If politics were inherently bad, we wouldn’t see characters like Padme Amidala, Bail Organa, and Mon Mothma--or, hell, even Leia Organa herself--as heroes.  Because politics are important!  You don’t have to be (and shouldn’t be) a full-time politician for politics to still be important.  That working within a system to help better it and be able to reach more people is a good thing. Further, this doesn’t come without context of earlier in the episode, Obi-Wan is specifically shown to be incredibly desiring of helping people--he basically caves to Anakin’s strategy based on Anakin’s argument that they can help people sooner:

That is right there in this very same episode.  Obi-Wan agrees to a reckless strategy specifically when Anakin points out that it can help people sooner. Obi-Wan Kenobi is not someone who doesn’t want to help people, that’s his whole thing! Further context, which isn’t specifically related to this particular issue, but does give context to Obi-Wan Kenobi as a character is everything with Bo-Katan seething over whether Satine even meant anything to him.  She did.  And she still does.  But he cannot allow his feelings to cloud his judgement--and that is something that is key to being a Jedi.

It reminds me of George Lucas’ commentary on attachment: “But [Anakin] has become attached to his mother and he will become attached to Padme and these things are, for a Jedi, who needs to have a clear mind and not be influenced by threats to their attachments, a dangerous situation. And it feeds into fear of losing things, which feeds into greed, wanting to keep things, wanting to keep his possessions and things that he should be letting go of. His fear of losing her turns to anger at losing her, which ultimately turns to revenge in wiping out the village.“  –George Lucas, Attack of the Clones commentary “He turns into Darth Vader because he gets attached to things. He can’t let go of his mother; he can’t let go of his girlfriend. He can’t let go of things.”  –George Lucas, Time Magazine interview (2002) The thing about Obi-Wan/Satine is that it was pretty clearly created to be a foil to Anakin/Padme (and, boyyyyyyyyy, is that abundantly clear in the scene with Bo-Katan where Anakin is STARING at Obi-Wan as he says this, as we all know Revenge of the Sith is looming riiiiiiiiight over our heads), where Obi-Wan and Satine do make the right choices about the vows they’ve taken to other aspects of their lives.  That they are balanced in a way that Anakin and Padme are not. Dave Filoni says it himself in the commentary for the Bad Batch arc, in this very season: “I mean, even Obi-Wan was in love with someone.  That’s not abnormal.  It’s very normal.  What you choose to do and how you choose to have a relationship, what you sacrifice, then that becomes a bigger deal when he’s made an oath to the Jedi Order to be selfless, to put everyone else ahead of himself.”  --Dave Filoni Obi-Wan’s feelings for Satine are very much a parallel and contrast for Anakin’s feelings for Padme, and we know exactly how that’s going to turn out for Anakin, because Revenge of the Sith looms incredibly large over this entire episode and this entire arc. ”He’s made an oath to put everyone else ahead of himself.” is something Obi-Wan has done and continues to uphold, so accusing him of politics is like--what does Obi-Wan gain by playing politics then?  He’s putting other people ahead of himself, so playing politics must be for that reason, too. Furthering this context, especially in tying it to what it means to be a Jedi, is commentary from “The Lawless”:

”And in that moment, that critical moment, he cannot seize on his anger and his hatred for Maul.  Though that’s probably there, deep within, he can’t seize on it or Maul will win, he knows that.  I think we learned a lot about Obi-Wan and what it means to be a true Jedi, which is what I see Obi-Wan as.“ –Dave Filoni, on “The Lawless” All of this is important to understand that, when Obi-Wan Kenobi talks about the choices one makes, about not letting his feelings cloud his judgement, he’s coming from a place of established narrative reliability. We want to side with Ahsoka, because her hurt is so genuine and valid.  Because she sees a problem with the way the galaxy views the Jedi and we know that the Jedi’s doom is soon upon them.  (And this is where I get wary of the show’s narrative potentially trying to say, “Well, they’re kind of responsible for their own genocide because they just weren’t nice enough to people and only helped so many people, that they should have done more and more and more.” because, no, fuck that idea for real, the Jedi are not responsible for their own genocide, certainly not based on anything in the canon!)  She wants to fix this problem and she’s coming at it with a choice that she thinks would restore faith in them. The problem is that the Jedi are being asked to make choices between what’s popular and what they see as doing more good for more people.  And there’s a great line from the Age of Republic - Padme Amidala comic that ties into these themes as well:

“But trying to serve the greater good doesn’t exactly make you popular.”  (Oh, hey, look!  More politics!) On first blush, the idea of helping the people of Mandalore over saving the Chancellor seems like the right thing to do because we know Palpatine is Sidious, we know that it leads to ROTS, we know that ROTS leads to the Empire, especially when Ahsoka ties it to the Jedi Order becoming unpopular with the galaxy.  But Obi-Wan points out that she’s not being fair.  He points out that the Republic is on the line.  I’m pointing out that everything is politics, one decision over the other isn’t less political just because it’s more intimate.  And it doesn’t come without context.  It’s not just the Chancellor, it’s bigger than that. And serving that greater good--as Obi-Wan genuinely sees it--doesn’t always make them popular. And still even further, this isn’t entirely about the Jedi Order’s politics, but it’s about Ahsoka’s own hurt at how the Jedi had to play politics with her, too.  She’s still hurt that they expelled her--though, as always, context shows that she gave them absolutely nothing to work with, she immediately distrusted them before they even heard anything, she refused to even send them a message, she attacked clones on her way out, she was seen colluding with a known Separatist war criminal, she was found with incredibly damning evidence, and still wouldn’t actually talk to them or ask them directly to trust her, and ultimately none of her own actions saved her, it was a Jedi who saved her--that this doesn’t negate that they made mistakes as well, they should have visited her in the jail, they were playing politics and it doesn’t matter to Ahsoka that their hands were forced--and that’s driving her conversation with Obi-Wan, especially as someone who is part of the Council that she feels betrayed her. And Obi-Wan’s coming at this from the point of view that she let her emotions cloud her judgement over what happened, that she reacted blindly rather than trusting them in the critical moment (and the theme of trust was allll over that arc), and she’s still coming from this from a place of emotion, but that he respects her choices in the end and he obviously still cares very much about her.

All of that is underlining the conversation and one of the things that makes it such a hellishly complicated scene here in “Old Friends Not Forgotten” is that both of them are pretty narratively reliable. They’re both coming from a place of deep care and a desire to help people. They’re both coming from a place wanting to do what’s best for people. Which is why I love that I think Ahsoka genuinely loves the Jedi Order and why she says, “people who truly need us”.  It furthers my feeling of how I think, had Order 66 not happened, she may have come back to the Jedi eventually, if this difference could be resolved, but at the very least she certainly never hated them.  This is all coming from a place of love for the Jedi, for her family.  Even if she’s on a different path, even if ultimately she’ll say, “I’m no Jedi.” in Rebels, that’s about what she’s willing to do, what lines she's willing to cross, that a Jedi wouldn’t, and that it doesn’t mean they’re not still her family and that she wants good things for and with them. And why I love that she may not be being fair here, she may be stripping context and consequence out of the choice she wants to make, she may be letting emotion cloud her judgement, but she’s still so incredibly valuable and I do think they should have listened to her more.  The Jedi’s genocide is not on them, the murder of an entire people can never be on the victims, but I do think Obi-Wan has so much weight on his shoulders that he has trouble seeing the forest for the trees.  And that’s not a horrible thing, especially because Ahsoka’s shoving the trees aside here. But that there was no right answer here.  Mandalore is a trap.  Mandalore is going to fall to the Empire anyway.   Coruscant is a trap.  Coruscant is going to fall to the Empire anyway.   It doesn’t matter if they choose Mandalore or Coruscant.  Order 66 is already set to be triggered any minute now, nothing can stop that.  Them being more popular wouldn’t have saved them from it, not in a galaxy where the Republic general public was apathetic enough to not stand up against the Separatist themselves, instead allowed a clone army to be commissioned and the Jedi to be drafted into the war.  They wouldn’t stand up for themselves against the Separatists, they weren’t going to stand up for the genocide of a tiny religious culture, either.  It doesn’t even matter if the Jedi fought in the war or not--fight and be killed.  Don’t fight and they’ll be like Mandalore and be forced into it anyway or killed. That the Jedi were forced to make shitty choices in situations where there weren’t any right answers and get blamed for not having magical answers to problems that they cannot possible solve. What really brought that home to me was the way the scene ended--when Anakin offered an actual reasonable, viable solution (something that most people don’t offer the Jedi when saying what they should or shouldn’t do, they’re rarely given actual, workable options) where they could do both, Obi-Wan pretty readily jumped on it.

This shows that of course the Jedi want to help, whenever and wherever they can.  Not going to Mandalore isn’t that they don’t care or that they don’t want to help, but that there are two tire fires put in front of them and they didn’t see a reasonable way to do both, and Coruscant, as the capital of the Republic, which is the only body that can possibly stand between the Separatists and the enslavement/oppression/murder of thousands of worlds, must be protected. (Just look what happens when the Republic and the Jedi fall--the Empire inflicted atrocity after atrocity on the galaxy, which says to me that the Jedi were right in that the Republic had to be defended because it was all that stood between the galaxy and a lot of really evil things happening.) Ultimately, the only thing that the Jedi could really do that mattered is that they helped save people--people like Hera Syndulla--and they did do that.  And the accusation that they’re not trying to help people is not a fair one.  Even when it comes from a place of deep care.  And that’s why this scene was ouchy in such a good way, it really was an amazing episode to watch!

NO WAY ON A CLIFFHANGER????? THE FINALE ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER?????

DOES THIS MEAN WHAT I THINK IT MEANS????

it’s not a confirmation... but i’m one to celebrate prematurely.

SEASON 2!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. That was... almost everything I ever wanted.

I can’t rate that finale in numbers.  I can, however, rate it in images:

Wow. I can’t believe it’s really over...

This has certainly been a ride.

When my fourth grade teacher started reading us a book called The Mysterious Benedict Society, I was instantly enthralled. I doubt anyone expected that the house of mouse themselves would get their hands on it years later and create something like this! I certainly had no idea that this series would introduce me to so many wonderful people.

Seriously, thank you all so much for coming on this journey with me. And as for the future... Let’s just live in this moment for as long as we can, shall we?

❤️

oh, and to all of you who stayed up until 3 am to watch the new episodes:

Something that’s been on my mind for a bit that your professional word may be able to help with. Would you happen to know how ethnically diverse the Greek and Roman empires were?

very

next question please

…

…what, you want more?  Oh, fine, but for the record this is not the sort of thing people just “happen to know.”

Okay so I’m assuming by “Greek empire” (remember, kids: there was never a politically autonomous and unified state called “Greece” or “Hellas” until 1822) you mean Alexander’s empire (320s BC) and the Hellenistic successor kingdoms (323 BC – 31 BC), and by “Roman empire” you mean Rome starting from the time it becomes a major interregional power (say, following the second Punic War, which ended in 201 BC) rather than just Rome in the time of the Emperors.  You could spend like most of a book on each of these just corralling the data that might let us answer this question, but whatevs.

Lesson one: the ancient Greeks and Romans did not think about ethnicity in the same way as we do.  In particular, they were not super hung up on the colour of people’s skin – skin colour in ancient art is more often a signifier of gender than race, because women are expected to spend less time outside and therefore have lighter skin (which is another whole thing that we shouldn’t even get into because this is an aristocratic ideal of female beauty and of course lots of Greek and Roman women would have worked outside).  Arguably the most important signifier of ethnicity to the Greeks and Romans was actually language, with everyone who didn’t speak Greek or Latin being a “barbarian” (traditionally this word is supposed to come from the Greeks thinking that all foreign languages sounded like “bar bar bar,” although I’ve also heard a convincing argument that it comes from the Old Persian word for taxpayer, barabara, and originally signified all subjects of the Persian king).

In the modern world we have designations of ethnicity that are super broad and grow in large part out of early and long-since-debunked anthropological theory that divided humanity into three biologically distinct races, Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid, and don’t really reflect a lot of important components of ethnicity.  The thing is, as the internet will happily tell you ad nauseam, race is a social construct.  Like, yes, designations of race describe real physical characteristics that arise from variation within human genetics, but the way we choose to bundle those characteristics is arbitrary, and where we choose to draw the lines is arbitrary (like, for a long time in the US, Greeks and Italians weren’t considered “white,” but today they definitely are, even though nothing changed about their genetics).  If we today were brought face to face with a bunch of ancient Greeks and Romans, we would probably be pretty comfortable with assigning a majority of them to the big pan-European tent of modern “whiteness,” but if you had asked them about it, they certainly would not have felt any kinship with the pale-skinned people of northern and western Europe from whom most English-speaking white people today are descended.  Those people were every bit as barbarian (and every bit as fair game for enslavement, for that matter) as the darker-skinned folk of the Middle East and North Africa.  Ancient Greeks and Italians also had loads of internal ethnic divisions – like, the Latins (the central Italian ethnic group to which the Romans belonged) were a different thing from the Umbrians to their east, the Etruscans to the north and the Oscans to the south.  In Greece, you had Dorians in the Peloponnese, Ionians in Attica and Asia Minor, Boeotians and Thessalians in central Greece, Epirotes in western Greece, and DON’T EVEN ASK about the Macedonians, because boyyyyyyyyy HOWDY you are NOT ready for that $#!tstorm.  The point is, race and ethnicity can be basically anything that you think makes you different from the people in another community.

So yeah, Alexander’s empire.  Alexander the Great conquered Persia, which was already the largest empire the world had ever seen at the time and incorporated dozens of ethnically distinct peoples (including many Greeks of Asia Minor, some of whom willingly fought against Alexander) through a philosophy of loose regional governance and broad religious tolerance.  Now, here’s the thing: Alexander had no idea how to run an empire of that scale.  No Greek did.  No one alive in the world did – except for the Persians.  Alexander didn’t have anything to replace the Persian systems of governance or bureaucracy, so… he didn’t.  Individual Persian governors were usually given the opportunity to swear loyalty to him and keep their posts; vacant posts were filled with Macedonians, but the hierarchy was basically untouched.  Alexander himself married a princess from Bactria (approximately what is now Afghanistan), Roxana, and had a kid with her, and encouraged other Macedonian nobles to take Persian wives as well, to help unify the empire.  Unfortunately Alexander, of course, had to go and bloody die less than two years after he’d finished conquering everything, and tradition holds that on his deathbed he told his friends that the empire should go “to the strongest,” which was an incredibly dumb thing to say and caused literally decades of war, which we are not even going to talk about because it is the most Game of Thrones bull$#!t in the history of history.  All you need to know is that when the dust settled there were basically three major Greco-Macedonian dynastic powers: the Antigonids in Greece, the Ptolemies in Egypt, and the Seleucids in Persia.

In terms of ethnic makeup the Antigonid kingdom is in principle the most straightforward because they’re basically still running the same Greece that Alexander’s father had conquered.  Even then, you should bear in mind that a) most Greek cities had legal provisions for allowing foreigners to live there under certain conditions (“foreigners” often meant Greeks from other cities, but in principle could be anyone), and b) the Greeks had a lot of slaves (many of whom were, again, Greeks from other cities, because that’s fine in ancient Greek morality, but a lot of them would have come from all over the place), and even though the Greeks didn’t count slaves as “people” or consider them a real part of a city’s ethnic composition, WE SHOULD.  The Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt seems to have had a relatively small Greco-Macedonian upper class ruling over a native Egyptian, Libyan and Nubian peasant majority.  Members of that ruling class seem to have been kind of snobbish about any mixing between the two – only the very last Ptolemaic ruler, Cleopatra VII (yes, that Cleopatra), even bothered to learn the Egyptian language.  However, the Ptolemaic rulers did make some important cultural gestures of goodwill towards the Egyptians.  They took the native title of Pharaoh, which previous foreign rulers of Egypt hadn’t, and adopted a lot of traditional Pharaonic iconography like the double crown.  They also worshipped some of the most important Egyptian gods, most notably Isis, and may have kind of… deliberately created a new Greco-Egyptian god, Serapis, by blending together Osiris and Dionysus (Serapis actually becomes super important in the Roman period and is widely worshipped even outside Egypt).  And then there’s the Seleucids, an empire that did nothing but slowly collapse from the moment it was established.  They have a rough time of it because they have the largest land area to cover and dozens of distinct ethnic groups to bring together, and it doesn’t help that they kinda keep doing the Game of Thrones thing for about two hundred fµ¢&ing years.  They often get a bad rap in history and have a reputation for oppressing the non-Greek populations of their empire, but that’s probably at least partly because some of our most important sources for the Seleucids are Jewish, and the Seleucid kings’ relationship with the Jews broke down in a fairly spectacular fashion during the reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes (r. 175-164 BC).  It’s not clear whether that’s representative of the Seleucids’ normal relationship with their subject peoples, or a worst case scenario.  Also, the Seleucids tend to get painted as villains in the historical record by both the other Greek powers and the Romans, and never really get much of a chance to defend themselves because we don’t have Seleucid histories.  What is clear is that they inherited all the ethnic and religious diversity of the Persian Empire, and most of their rulers were half-Persian because they followed Alexander’s example by marrying into the Persian nobility.  After an initial period of conflict they also seem to have maintained cordial relations with the Mauryan Empire of India, their neighbour to the east, for several decades, and contemporary Indian sources talk about sending Buddhist missionaries into Seleucid lands, so… like, there might have been a bunch of Greek Buddhists running around the empire; that’s a thing.

Whew.  Okay, so that is a criminally brief answer to-

OH CHRIST YOU ASKED ABOUT THE ROMANS AS WELL

WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT FROM ME

Right.  Romans.  One of the major schools of thought on how the Romans were able to create such an enormous and long-lasting empire in the first place is that their openness to accepting foreigners into their community gave them an enormous manpower advantage over every other ancient Mediterranean state.  Greek politics generally operates on the level of cities; even in the age of Alexander, individual cities have quite a lot of legislative autonomy.  Citizenship is also something that works on the level of cities: you aren’t a citizen of, say, the Seleucid Empire; you’re a citizen of Antioch, or Tyre, or Babylon, or whatever.  But then the Romans happen.  The Romans are weird, because they will sometimes just declare that all the people of an allied city are now also citizens of Rome.  In the early period of Rome’s expansion in the central Mediterranean, this meant (or so the theory goes) that they could draw upon larger citizen armies and sustain more casualties than their rivals.  This is how they beat Pyrrhus, the Greek king of Epirus (r. 297-272 BC), when he invaded Italy in response to disputes between Rome and the Greek colony of Tarentum; this is how they beat Hannibal, the legendary Carthaginian general, even after he annihilated the largest army the Romans had ever fielded at Cannae during the second Punic War (218-201 BC).  Now, at this point they are basically still just bringing in Italians, which we might consider ethnically homogenous even if they didn’t, but there’s more.

Once they really start to get going, the Romans enfranchise entire provinces at a time, like when the emperor Claudius (r. AD 41-54) decided to make everyone in Gaul (modern France, more or less) a Roman citizen.  The really interesting thing about this particular decision is that we actually have a copy of the speech he made to the Senate in Rome at the time, so we can examine his rationale.  Claudius’ argument is basically that being inclusive has always been what has made Rome stronger than its rivals, going right back to their mythological past, when Romulus populated his city with disenfranchised criminals from other communities (and, uh… women that they kidnapped from the next town over).  The Romans believed that everything great about their civilisation had originally been learned or borrowed from someone else – metalworking and irrigation from the Etruscans, infantry combat from the Greeks, shipbuilding from the Carthaginians, etc – so it wasn’t a huge stretch for them to believe that all these people should eventually become part of Rome as citizens (well… the ones who weren’t killed or enslaved in the conquest, anyway – no one ever said the Romans were saints).

The reason Claudius feels he needs to justify all this to the Senate is that citizenship (rather than any of the forms of semi-citizen rights that Romans would sometimes grant to their allies) will make rich Gauls eligible to become Senators themselves, and occupy other high-level posts like provincial governorships.  The decision affects the ethnic composition of the Senate, so even though he doesn’t actually need their permission to do it, he asks as a courtesy (the emperors’ relationship with the Senate is a weird and complicated thing).  Even without being a citizen, you could actually do a great deal in the Roman government in Claudius’ time.  Many of the most important jobs in the empire were ones that had existed during the age of the Republic, when Rome was theoretically a democracy, and all of those were restricted to citizens even after they stopped being elected positions – but there was also an imperial bureaucracy that answered directly to the emperor and his aides, and he was free to choose literally anyone to fill those positions.  As a result, a lot of emperors deliberately picked slaves and former slaves for loads of senior positions, specifically because their lack of citizen rights meant that they could never be political rivals, and because they were a useful counterbalance to the power of the blue-blooded Roman aristocracy.  And, again, slaves can be from basically anywhere.  A lot of these administrative slaves were Greeks, because Greek education provided useful skills for running the imperial bureaucracy that the Romans themselves often didn’t have, but emperors could and did commission literally anyone for these positions.

Eventually the emperor Caracalla (r. AD 211-217) just decided it wasn’t worth keeping track anymore and declared that every freeborn person in the entire empire, which by that point stretched from northern England to Morocco to Romania to Jordan, was now a Roman citizen.  All of these people are now “Romans,” regardless of their language or culture or religion; the only criterion is that they not be slaves or former slaves (and even if they’re former slaves, their children will be Roman citizens).  And these people can move, in ways that were never possible before the Empire existed, because Rome is the first – and so far the last – political entity ever to unite the entire Mediterranean region, which allows them to wipe out piracy almost completely and jump-start trade and travel in ways that would never happen again for over a thousand years.  My own research on Roman glass has led me to encounter glassblowers with Syrian or Jewish names working in northern Italy – people who were probably integral to spreading the technology of glassblowing to western Europe.  The Roman army also moves people around – like, a lot.  You might enlist in your home town in Syria, then serve on Hadrian’s wall and retire in northern England – in fact, we know that this happened because we’ve found stuff like inscriptions in the Aramaic language in Roman Britain.

Also Rome had, like… a whole dynasty of African emperors one time.  Septimius Severus (r. AD 193-211) and his successors were part Italian, part Punic (of Carthaginian descent – ultimately Middle Eastern, since the Carthaginians were originally a Phoenician colony) and part Berber (native North African), and Severus grew up in what is now Tunisia.  And that wasn’t really a big deal for the Romans, 1) because Severus’ Italian ancestry made him a Roman citizen, which trumps all other signifiers of ethnicity, and 2) Rome had already had a couple of emperors of Iberian (= Spanish) descent by this point who were considered some of the best ever, and the Iberians are just as “barbarian” as the Berbers as far as Rome is concerned.  Other Roman emperors of varied ethnicities include Philip (Arabian), Diocletian (Illyrian), the three Gordians (probably Cappadocian), and Elagabalus (Syrian, and incidentally the gayest Roman of all time; like, normally I would warn you to be super cautious about using modern labels like “straight” and “gay” for Romans because they just didn’t think about sexual orientation in those terms, but I make an exception here because Elagabalus was super gay).

Oh, and just because someone will definitely bring it up if I don’t, there was a big fuss in the news a few years back because someone discovered the skeletons of what they claimed were Chinese people living in, of all places, Roman Britain.  And to me, one Chinese family in Britain in the first century AD is not particularly a dramatic stretch of plausibility (a handful of people could easily slip through the historical record and just never be mentioned), but the evidence in this particular case falls some way short of “proof.”  There’s chemical data that suggests these individuals grew up somewhere far away from Britain, which is well and good, but the thing that points specifically to China is not the isotopic analysis but a study of bone morphology, and trying to determine someone’s ethnicity on the basis of what their bones look like, on the universal scale of things that are sketchy, ranks “sketchy as all fµ¢&.”  Again, I’m happy to believe that they exist, because China (Seres in Latin) and Rome (Dà-Qín in Chinese) definitely knew about each other, and we occasionally find Roman artefacts and coins in eastern Asia, or Chinese artefacts in the eastern Roman Empire, but the specific evidence for these individuals isn’t there, in my opinion.

…that was a brief answer.  Let it stand as a warning to others.

[maliciouslycreative]

Oh boyyyyyyyyy. This is something that has always happened to me. Like I get comments about it way less now in my 30s (probably because I don't work with the public any more) but still get on occasion. It was terrible though in my teens and 20s.

I was probably one of the earliest afab people to hit puberty in my grade and it was hell. I've always been naturally pretty and feminine looking and people noticed. Combined with how I never was particularly interested in being feminine and this lays the groundwork for where a lot of my bullying and harassment came from. People have just always felt like it was their job to tell me that "oh you're so pretty but think of how much prettier you'd be with makeup!" When I was in school, especially elementary, people certainly used it as a weapon and I got the impression from them that "maybe if you weren't so weird and were into make up and other feminine things then you wouldn't be excluded from social circles. Like even the tomboy of the grade likes and wears makeup so what's wrong with you."

It was less of a problem from other girls in high school but the boys it was bad. Lots of "you're pretty/hot but you'd look prettier/hotter/older if you wore makeup." Girls would like look at me in awe and be like "I wish I was as strong as you and didn't have to wear makeup" or "I wish I could be as pretty as you without makeup". And like this is something I still get from time to time. People seem almost offended when I tell them the only makeup I own is a lipstick and eyeshadow pallet I bought for cosplay.

Thankfully pressure about makeup never came from my parents or family (though clothing is a whole different can of worms).

So yah any interest I ever had in makeup was pretty much destroyed by people insisting I should wear it and be interested in it. Plus thr thought of presenting more feminine was always sort of nauseating. I probably wouldn't care so much about it if makeup wasn't associated with femininity.

Genuine question for whoever feels up to answering, because I just saw a post about performing femininity and it made me wonder.

I am an almost-39 year old enby/afab (mostly not out as enby in meatspace) in the United States. I can count on my fingers how many times in my entire life I've worn makeup. I have never once been given crap by anyone - growing up, in college/grad school, while the work force - for not wearing makeup. Literally never.

But there's that post above, and I've seen others like it, that suggest this is a real thing that happens to people?? My peeps who are/were female and/or were performing "female" in your teens/20s/onward...have you actually had instances where you didn't wear makeup and people gave you shit??? This is...a real thing...that happens???

Hi Iz, The guy that I like often tells me how much he likes thin small girls... and it makes me so sad to think that he's never gonna fully like me because I am the opposite of that. You're probably wondering why I care so much and the reason is that I had anorexia and bulimia but I never really totally recover, now I feel like I need to loose weight because I feel so sad everytime I'm naked or having sex with this guy who I know he likes skinny girls. Sorry for my bad english but I am latina

well i want to start by telling you that the guy you are currently talking to is absolutely out of line by telling you how you should look or what body type he prefers. you need to realize that you are SO MUCH better than his low vibrational energy… you are beautiful for who you are, no matter what he may think. please start finding love & compassion for yourself & your journey & realize that this guy is holding you back from completely healing. you are so much more than surface level comments & degrading words. RAISE YOUR FREQUENCY and shed that f*ck boyyyyyyyyy

[chippedtoothczech]

I started college yesterday and boyyyyyyyyy am I already stressed tf out. Like I thought my stress in hs was bad nooooooooo this is worse. Way worse

angsty billu is angsty. 😊😊😊

lol “bas suggestion diya tha maine.” bhai, aise ghatiya suggestions dete hi kyun ho??? 😂😂😂

oh ho billu, you and your misplaced overconfidence. you know you always fail in the matter of this girl. she never reacts as predicted. 😕😕😕

god, i wish shivaay would be MY wedding planner, if such a miracle ever occurred. it sounds like a dream to just show up looking pretty and do the pheras, while all the hard bits are handled (and paid for) by someone else! 😊😊😊 

oh no. puppy eyes. PUPPY EYES. *avoids looking at him* 😣😣😣

“agar yeh mazaak hai, toh bol do.” 

oh my god. the amount of hope in his eyes and voice. he looks like a  baby, suddenly impossibly young and so so vulnerable. 😟😟😟

GIRL. YOU ALREADY KNOW USSE FARAQ PADTA HAI. BUT STILL YOU USE ‘EM FIGHTING WORDS. 😣😣😣

oh hooooooooo, billlllllllu, YOU TOLD HER TWICE ALREADY THAT FARAQ PADTA HAI, WHAT’S ONCE MORE??? JUST TELL HER. 😫😫😫

NOPE. OF COURSE YOU DIDN’T LISTEN TO ME. 😑😑😑

THESE TWO AND THEIR FARAQ. OUFF. FA(RA)Q YOU BOTH. FA(RA)Q YOU BOTH TO HELL AND BACK. 😒😒😒

OH GOD, STOP PROVOKING HERRRRRRRR. 😣😣😣

... look at their faces. just... look at their faces. she’s devastated that he doesn’t care, but her face is under iron clad control. but, him - businessman of the year, dealmaker extraordinaire, he can’t help but have his feelings screaming in all caps neon lettering on his face. these two. fucking idiots. 😥😥😥😭😭😭

“we’ll call it off...  i’ll take care of all of it. i’ll take care of it.” 

oh my heart, the desperation and cajoling in his voice. he just wants this game to end, but he doesn’t want to lose either. 😔😔😔

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO “YEH TOH SACH MEIN SHAADI KARNE KO TAIYYAAAR HO GAYI!!!!” *furiously follows her* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

bitchhhhhhhhhh, i told you not to fucking test her! ab bhugat. vikram ko tune hi laaya hua hai, i’m pretty sure, but she’s so adiyal ki she’ll marry ANYONE to spite you at this point. 🙃🙃🙃

bulbullllllll, please DO NOT, DO NOTTTTTT call him. please girl. come on. 😫😫😫

WHEN YOU KNOW HE AND HIS PLANS ARE BEWAKOOF, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU LISTENING TO HIM? GOD. 😒😒😒

oh boyyyyyyyyy. rudra is in trouble. 🙃🙃🙃

most unrealistic thing here is that they’re going so easy on him and beating him with PILLOWS. real brothers fight with fists. what kinda namby pamby nonsense is this???? 🙄🙄🙄

lmao rudra raising his hand mid-beatdown to answer the question like he’s in school. 🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽

HOW IS POOR RUDRA RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU TWO ASSHOLES BEING BAD HUSBANDS??????????? 😒😒😒

BEAT THE SNOT OUTTA THESE TWO, RUDY. I’LL HOLD THE LITTLE ONE DOWN FOR YA. *tackles shivaay* 😤😤😤

okaaaaaay. abrupt scene transition. 😐😐😐

married ppl, plz confirm, this is the true depiction of marriage, no? that they were just in the most angsty fight ever 15 minutes ago, and now she’s like YEH KYA HOOLIA BANA RAKHA HAI? 😟😟😟

omggggg “aise lag rahe hai jaise bheege kauwe ko kisi ne blow dry kiya ho” hahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

wow. ok. straight to “lemme fix that for you, babe.”

his O RLY??????? look tho. 😯😯😯

oh wowwww, he’s actually waiting for her to fix his hair for him! 😧😧😧 she’s allowed to touch his hair now! what a momentous leap in their relationship. THIS IS PRACTICALLY THIRD BASE IN SHIVIKA TERMS!!!!!!!!!! ab toh bas sex hi bacha hai, physical intimacy wise. 😌😌😌

“ab mera haq nahi hai yeh sab karne ka.”  “oh right. tumhare saare farz aur haq ab tumhare fiance ke liye hai ab.”

don’t you get all snarky on her. she can say the same thing, that you should go ask RAGINI to fix your damn hair. 😒😒😒

I AM HUSBAND. I HOLD HAND. *ALPHA MALE ROAAAAAAAAAAAR*

“kis haq se aapne mera haath pakda hai?”

i’m soooooo glad anika’s not making this easy on him. 😊😊😊

tadi waala shoulder to shoulder talking. haven’t seen this pose in this show for a long time!!! 

my godddddddd, the amountttt of roundaboutttttt talkingggg, it’s making my head hurt. 😣😣😣

“is this what you want.” “it is what i want if you want it.” “i want it if you want me to want it.” JFC. 😑😑😑

since gauri isn’t here, i’m glad at least bhavya is here for anika. i’ll take any girly bonding! 👯🏽👯🏽👯🏽

oh bhavya, you’re sweet and very well-intentioned, but you’re new here and you don’t know shivaay’s tadi and levels of zidddddd. 😕😕😕

aaaaaaaaaaand bhaiyya just proved me right. OUFFFFFFFFF BILLU!!!!!!!!!!!!! TANG AA GAYI HOON MAIN TUMSE. 😫😫😫

don’t fucking tell me, that even BHAVYA knows the truth about shivaay. 😣😣😣

lmaoooo om’s snarky “nahiiiiiiii, tadi bhi toh zaroori hai!” 😂😂😂

YES, PLEASE, DO SOMETHING YOU LITTLE SHITS. 😫😫😫

OH MY HEART, RUDY CALLING GAURI AND SAYING SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STOP SHIVAAY!!!!!!!!!!!! (OVER HIS OWN SISTER PRINKUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! OVER HIMSELF AND OM!!!!!!!!!!!) 😯😯😯

shivaay and gauri share the purestttttttt love in this show (up there with rudra - anika) and i’m just so overwhelmed with feelings. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

bhavya’s just straight up stolen a canvas and easel from om and set up one rather 2 rs conspiracy board. 😐😐😐

@ilovefusion i was wondering about her weird dupatta-jacket combo yest too. turns out it isn’t a dupatta, just a weird sleeve. this girl’s fashion is truly bizarre. 😕😕😕

GOD RUDRA, ITNAAAAAAAAAA SHAUK HAI DUSRON KA KAAM KARNE KA, THEN GO TO OFFICE INSTEAD OF SHIVAAY. LORD KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK OBEROI INDUSTRIES KA HAAL IS NOW, WITH SHIVAAY OFF PLAYING WEDDING PLANNER, AND YOUR DAD ACTING LIKE A GHOST. 😒😒😒

i literally want to smack rudra for not taking NO for an answer no matter how many times it’s been told to him. 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 (oneeee tightttt slap emoji.)

btw anyone here old enough to remember this random little program on mtv india called ONE TIGHT SLAP??? little 30 second - 1 minute clips of typically desi annoying ppl who deserve to get slapped? i still say the words “one tight slap” in the same tone as the announcer used to say it. (youtube it.) 

“baat karni zaroori hai kya?”

never thought i’d say this, but i’m hella relating to bhavya, my dudes. i too, like to spend my days with a minimum amount of words spoken out loud. 🤐🤐🤐

god this scene is so forced. i just want him to leave her aloneeeee. 😫😫😫

BITCH WHAT ABOUT YOUR DAMN WIFE?????????? 😤😤😤

chaubis? abbe oh, you’re only 23. are you counting the 9 months as a fetus? you learnt your womanizing ways in vitro from your dad like abhimanyu learnt the chakravyuh maneuver??? 😒😒😒

oh. we finally have an age for bhavya. 27. same as om (?)

kudos to them for having a couple where the girl is older, but like really... she could do SO MUCH BETTER? why is she even hanging out with a man baby like him? 🤔🤔🤔

what the fuck is even happening? like... that wasn’t a romantic moment or anything. 😕😕😕

ugh, i hate this song. 😒😒😒

bored af, so fwding. ⏩⏩⏩

SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY ANIKA IS HANGING OUT IN HIS ROOM ALL THE TIME WHEN SHE’S STAYING IN ANOTHER ROOM. 😒😒😒

nopeeeeeeeeeeeee,  not shivaaaay. wazzaaaa ragini! 😆😆😆

lol ragini is so casualllll and nonchalant. i’m fucking loving it. 😂😂😂

omfg ragini planning double dates in the future! I LOVE HER!!!! 😂😂😂

godddd, dadi and pinky are in the house? ugh. itne din se shanti thiiiiii. 😣😣😣

“sabka dimaag kharab ho gaya hai. koi kuch bhi kar raha hai.” 

that’s it. that’s the whole show. you’re all caught up on 300+ episodes. you’re welcome. 😌😌😌

bechaara om. akele ladega in sab paglon se. bhagwan mere bachche ko shakti de. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

speaking of shakti, where is he? why isn’t he here to say a few choice stern words at his crazyass son? 😐😐😐

as usual, righteously angry om is hella hot and turning me onnnnn. ouff. 😍😍😍

shivaay didn’t bother telling omRu also. waah. new level of sneakiness. 😯😯😯

rudra is already onnnnn it, bruh. he called in the most effective reinforcements last night itself. watch the bulbul fly in and sweetlyyyyy placate bade bhaiyya and bhaujai. 😚😚😚😇😇😇

tu kahan tadi chod rahi hai, jo usko chodne ko keh rahi hai. maro dono, bewakoof. 😒😒😒

oh great. pinky is here. 😐😐😐

tumhare bete ne hi order kiya hai yeh horrible pheeka... whatever this is. jaake usko bol. 😒😒😒

blah blah blah blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, pinky. 🙄🙄🙄

oooooooh, anika has HAD. ENOUGH. time for pinkyyyyy to hear some kadwaaaa sach. ✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽

“PYAAR SHIVAAY SE HAI. AUR HAMESHA RAHEGA.” 

bitch, tell HIM that. not his snotty mom. 😒😒😒

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS BITCH!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

blah blah blah bhavya’s mission. really don’t care. 🙄🙄🙄

lol om pacing in frustration at EVERYONE in his life. 😆😆😆

ASSHOLE, KYUN, TERE PHONE MEIN OUTGOING CALLS NAHI LAGTE KYA? TU BHI TOH PHONE KAR SAKTA HAI. 😒😒😒

watch the bulbullllll waltz in like a bawssssse bitchhhh. 😎😎😎

OH GOD NO NOT THIS HORRIBLE CANDY TRICK AGAIN. 😫😫😫

ok that SHOULD have fully broken the mirror. 😐😐😐

OH MY HEART, HIS FACE. LOOK AT HIS SMILE. I KNOW I SHOULD BE MAD AT HIM BUT OMG HIS FAAAAAAAAAAAAACE. 😭😭😭😭😭

LOOK AT HIM LOOKING AT HER, DUDES. HOLY HEART EYES. 😍😍😍

meanwhile queen be like “bitch, you really ain’t all that. met quite the few hot boys in pune, got 43 proposals already. watch your back.”

should have thrown it directly at his head like you did at shivaay’s in that first mahasangam ep, gauri. kam se kam this one’s brain would have been jolted and he’d start thinking straight. 😒😒😒

YES ONLY AS BAHU. meaning, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME. AND MY HEART. 🙅🏽🙅🏽🙅🏽🙅🏽

tune maafi maangi hi kahaan, maaf karne ke liye. 😤😤😤

what the fuck is wrong with this boss of bhavya’s. he’s so.... random. 😕😕😕 

oh boy. bhavya’s car is the one that’s gonna blow up with shivaay in it??? 😬😬😬

this rudy - chiraiyya alliance is the stuff that omki’s nightmares are made of. 🙃🙃🙃

lmao, yeh kaunse vasco de gama ki gun hai (kiske mama ki gun hai??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂) that this sultan is using??? 🤣🤣🤣

oh god. tomorrow is not only going to be full of rona dhona and family drama, but basically looks like they recycled that ep where shivaay’s chopper blew up. oufffffffff. awaiiii ka boring. 😒😒😒

rudra’s super sexy bathing song of choice: the k3g title track. amazing. 😂😂😂

hee hee hee, shivaay’s been tasked with getting “kamala” into the bathroom, while omki is still shuddering from the michmichi and terror. 😆😆😆

hahahaha anika has now introduced “dimaag ka dahi” into shivaay’s vocabulary successfully. 😂😂😂

even shanti ki murat omki’s patience is wearing thin with anika’s bakbak today. 😋😋😋

the best part right now is the disclaimer scrolling below that no real animals were hurt in the making of this scene. as if this...

... is not the fakest looking spider in the history of the world. 🙄🙄🙄

also, are you telling me the oberoi mansion has a tarantula infestation, that anika caught one of these just wandering around?? 😬😬😬 dayummmm oberois, get some pest control done. 

holy shit that’s the worst fucking graphics i’ve ever seen. ever. 😳😳😳

lol, shivaay’s spinning around and TERRIBLE acting, and omki’s imaginary bulaava. 😆😆😆

“mere bathroom mein bohut badiiiii cheeez hai!” 

ok i’m sorry, but my mind instantly went into the gutter at that. 😏😏😏😉😉😉

aw, tiny consoling moment in between. coz she knows how much stress he’s in hearing rudra scream like that. 😙😙😙

lo, lag gaya aur 15k rs. ka phatka in door repair expenses, in less than 24 hours. 🙈🙈🙈

lmaoooooo these three idiots and their reactions to bhavya’s Daya from CID impression. 😂😂😂

oh suddenly shivaay’s a feminist and all about “women power” challlll hatt, pseudo, saala. (just like nakuul. hmph.) 😒😒😒

waise, what the fuck does someone have to do in this house to get some fucking privacy? bathroom mein bhi these assholes taaad rahe hai. ghar hai ki chidiyaghar???? 😑😑😑

what is with anika/bhavya and finding tarantulas cute? 😖😖😖

WHY IS SHE STROKING IT LIKE IT’S A FUCKING KITTEN OR SOMETHING???? YUCK. 😣😣😣

“aap aise nahaate hai?”

... and you bathe with clothes on? 🤔🤔🤔

.... or she can just LEAVE, and you can get your own damn towel by yourself??? 😒😒😒

words can’t describe how mad i am right now that RUVYA of all couples have reached the stage of ‘one person naked cuddling’ over SHIVIKA and RIKARA. literally no one wants these two????? LITERALLY NO ONE. fucking fuck this shit. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

ALSO THIS SONG???? WASTED ON THESE TWO. AND THIS SCENE. WHY?????? FUCK THIS SCENE. FWDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ⏩⏩⏩

YAAAAAAAAAS DORI SCENE!!!!!!!!!! I AM READY BISH, I AM READY. GIVE ME THE RIKARA SEXINESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

yeahhhhhhhhhhhh boiiiiiii, you stare at her with that intense gaze. coz she’s a GODDAMN GODDESS! one that you are unworthy of. BUT BEHOLD HER BEAUTY AND WORSHIP HER WITH THAT LOOK!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍

um, the tune kiiiinda sounded more like rabba ve than saathiya at some points???? 😕😕😕

charger lene aaye the, lekin khud jhatka khaate hue jaaoge, omkiiii shomkiiiii. 😏😏😏 

loving his “oh shit, i didn’t realize my wife was so hot” look. LOVING IT!!!!!!!! 😇😇😇😇

SEXY SAUNTERING OVER. THE SEXUAL TENSION. I CAN’T. 😧😧😧

“MAY I?????????”

YES, THIS SONG IS PERFECT FOR THESE TWO. FEELING SO FUCKING VALIDATED RIGHT NOW.  THEY EVEN PICKED THE EXACT SAME STANZA I PICKED!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

someone from the makers’ team may or may not be reading this blog. in which case, yikes. 😬😬😬😬

can we have less faltu ke flashbacks and more shots of his hands on her, thanks???? 😗😗😗

^ actually me right now. 😍😍😍

pfffft, i really don’t care about tej and his budhaape mein jawaani. stop wasting my time and show me shivika getting sexy now. 😒😒😒

dayummmmmmm jhanvi. 😍😍😍 man seriously, who styles HER? is it shirali? i can’t believe she’s capable of making such amazing choices for this ONE character, and makes the rest of them look like such trash???  🤔🤔🤔

lmaoooooo shivKara’s reactions to rudra’s spider kisse. 😆😆😆

pfffffffft, abhi 10 minute pehle toh bade “salute to naari shakti” waaale morche laga rahe the. 😒😒😒

ouff ande and their ande waale issues. fuck off. 😑😑😑

KARCHI. YES. THAT’S THE WORD I WAS LOOKING FOR THE OTHER DAY. BUT I GOOGLED TO SEE IF I WAS RIGHT AND GOOGLE JUST REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THE WORD AND KEPT ASKING ME IF I MEANT “KARACHI” INSTEAD. 😤😤😤

... i don’t get it. how did anika run a catering business when she’s SO bad at cooking? 😕😕😕

lo, yehhhhh pada ekkkkk, karchiiii ke saath. 🙃🙃🙃

lmao ek shivaay hai, jo rudra ke liye bathroom mein bhaaga ke jaa raha tha to rescue him, aur badle mein ek yeh hai ki who responds to bhaiyya’s agony like this: 

ok, itnaaaaa bhi nahi laga. stop crying, you big baby. bullet khaate waqt bhi itna halla nahi kiya tha. 🙄🙄🙄

since morning she’s been telling you to keep quiet, shivaay. why can’t you just take the hint and shut the fuck up already? 😑😑😑

a little bitter than fucking ruvya got a hotter scene then my babies, but ok. aaj ke liye i’ll just make my peace with it. BETTER NOT HAPPEN AGAIN OR IMMA FLIP MY SHIT. 😠😠😠

... you guys should get a fucking room though. 😗😗😗

aw, these two having headbumps too. 😊😊😊

GALTI MERI THIII, I’M SORRY. 😯😯😯

waaah matlab, starting trouble hai, but once these oBros get started with apologizing, rukne ka naam hi nahi lete. 🙃🙃🙃

“tum theek ho?”

oh my heartttttttttttt. caring, sweet omkiiiiiiiiii. *weeping* 😭😭😭

ok these two and their sexual tension are going to KILL ME. 😇😇😇

yeah, i really don’t care about you two fuckers. YOU ALREADY GOT YOUR TIME IN THE TUB. fwding. 😒😒😒

FUCK THIS HUM HAI KAMAAL KE BS. I WANT TO STRIP MY SKIN OFF MY BODY AND SET IT ON FIRE WHEN I HEAR IT, THAT’S HOW MUCH MICHMICHI IT GIVES ME. 😫😫😫

same, girls. same. 😒😒😒

oh maaaan, i’m so happy that rudra is fully calling out omki’s bs. 😊😊😊

ok why is this fight so serious suddenly? 😗😗😗

ALSO CAN YOU GO DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, SO THAT SHIVIKA CAN BE LEFT ALONE AND THEY CAN MAKE OUT AGAINST THE KITCHEN COUNTER? 😒😒😒

“just hope ki koi problem na aaye” *ragini enters* *rudra making puking noises*

lmaooooo this show really hates her. poor thing. 😂😂😂

"tabiyat, mood, aur dimaag; sab kuch kharaab ho raha hai kisi ko dekh ke.” 

there’s no one more savage in this show than rudra when it comes to one of bhaiyya’s side chicks. 😈😈😈

ooooh, omki not liking ragini’s sass @ his wife. having to be held back! *squealing* 😚😚😚

OH BIIIIIIIIIIITCH YOU DID NOT JUST... PPL LOVE ANIKA IN THIS HOUSE MORE THAN THEIR OWN DAMN BLOOD RELATIVES HERE OK. DON’T COME FOR HER. 😠😠😠

bulbul isn’t here for this bs. she gonna fuck. ragini. up. 😡😡😡

shivaay: how are you feeling now ragini? ragini: much better! rudra: toh tum apne ghar kyun nahi jaa rahi? 😒😒😒😒

omfg this little shit. i love his snark so fucking much. 😂😂😂

lmaoooooooo shivaay’s face every time she calls him SHIVU. itni mushkil se toh “shivaaaay babyyyyy” se peecha choota tha, ab yeh lo, one new michmichi waala nickname. 😆😆😆

“mann toh kara raha hai ek jhaaanp mein deewar pe sataa de. sataaa de kaaa?” *rudra’s super enthusiastic nodding* 🤣🤣🤣

lmaooooo i love these two together. they should form an anika bhaujaai fanclub. 😊😊😊

LMAO EW. SO MUCH MICHMICHI. 😖😖😖

also wow, ragini is even better at video editing than the actual editors of this show. *rimshot* 😗😗😗

shivaay be like BITCH CAN I STOP BEING ACCUSED OF SEXING GIRLS UP WHEN I HAVEN’T GOTTEN LAID SINCE FOREVER?!?!?!?!! I AM NOT EVEN GETTING TO ENJOY THE FUN PART OF THESE SCANDALS. 😭😭😭😭

ugh jhanvi please. don’t waste your affection on this turd. 😒😒😒

phone numberrrrrrrr.... 175? (i think. he hasn’t broken any phones between the advay episode and today, has he? 🤔🤔🤔)

whooooooops. didn’t fling it hard enough to break it. 😬😬😬 

everyone’s waiting with bated breath to see anika’s reaction. 😶😶😶

shivaay is starting to defend himself. if he was smart, he’d have used the opportunity to gauge her Faraq. 😌😌😌

oh wow, ragini’s readily admitting that it’s been morphed. so... she did all of this for like... a 3 second reaction from anika? 🤔🤔🤔

i don’t get this girl and her “plans”. 😕😕😕

taiiiiiii taiiiiiiiiiiiii phisssssssss ho gayi ragini kiiiii. anika be like “bitch please, i know that the only neck this man here wants to be kissing is attached to MY shoulders. apni 2 rs. plan kissi aur par aazmaaana. 🙄🙄🙄”

rudra using more logic today than anyone ever has in this show. ever. 😯😯😯

oh boyyyyyyyyy, the anika fanclub is advancing pretty menacingly on to ragini. 😬😬😬

and lmao, shivaay is looking kinda worried FOR HER. 😛😛😛

OM ASKING THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

lol ragini did notttttt think this through. 😆😆😆

ohhhhhhhhhh boy. lo aa gaya baby waala bomb. 👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽👶🏽

why isn’t bhavya speaking up at that little police waala remark of ragini’s? 😕😕😕

haw, anika pe chilllaaaya. 😤😤😤

FINE ASSHOLE. HAVE IT YOUR WAY. CHANNEL YOUR ANDAR KA OLIVIA POPE AND HANDLE IT. 😡😡😡

i’m so glad pinky has a new project to keep her occupied. this is a such a productive use of her irredeemably annoying personality traits. 😊😊😊

why’s tej doing this chumma chaati with svetlana out in the open? use the damn hotel room you’re paying for???? 😒😒😒

“jethji ka bhi dil bhi bada vadddda hai. saari janaaniyaan issi mein basii hui hai.” lolololol 😂😂😂

lol svetlana ka GRAPH hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

waaah, bete ne kitne force se phenka, phir bhi phone nahi toota, but it just slips from her hands and is shattered. 😐😐😐

um rudra, could you stop being creepy and watching the video over and over. 😬😬😬

gift for bhavya??? 🤔🤔🤔

ok those are the ugliesttttt pants ever, rudra. 😖😖😖

ugh. andon ka gift, from one anda to another anda. am i supposed to be awwwing over this bs? 😒😒😒

what dhokaaaa is she doing? they already know she’s a cop. 😐😐😐

why the fuck is khanna just strolling around the damn house with this damn basket???? also, isnt the movement bothering the baby? why isn’t it fussing??? 😕😕😕

wow, she was certainly easily persuaded. 😶😶😶

i really dgaf about bhavya’s past trauma, when we haven’t even gone into anika/gauri’s past. 🙄🙄🙄

man shivaay is really the naivest fuck everrrrrrrrrr if he believes this act of hers. 😫😫😫

poor ragini. machli kaanta nigal hi nahi rahi. 😆😆😆

lolololol shivaay ki security shivaay ko hi protect nahi karti, ragini ko kya khaaak protect karegi? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

lmaoooooo i loveeeee ragini’s frustrated monologues so much. 

lmao, hum toh 300 episode se isse nahi samajh paaye, tum kya samjhogi. maine kaha tha, he’s not worth all this time and effort. just go find yourself a better boy already. 😌😌😌

damn. all the oBahus are in a Mood™ on monday. 😬😬😬
