what was with cameron house md she spends 90% of the episode saying she wants their patient to die bc he's a genocidal dictator and her colleague husband says "babe it bothers me for ethical reasons that you want our patient to die :(" and she said "hm maybe you're right :/" but when it comes down to it the genocidal dictator lays a finger on her in an aggressive manner and chase instantly commits medical malpractice to murder the guy and then when he tells her she LEAVES HIM bc boo hoo he's a murderer now like GIRL he killed a man for you!!! he's wracked with catholic guilt!!! he's being crushed beneath the weight of his sins because he chose his devotion to you over his devotion to god!!! he literally could not get any sexier at this moment in time!!!
#girl what are you doing......#also just in general she did not deserve him honestly he was so good to her and for WHAT#just to be abandoned at peak devotion and guilt and hotness 🙄#girl get OUT of my way i'm stronger than you#if she cared she could fix him or make him worse but i could love and support him no matter what 😌#his muder is a part of him and its SEXY#robert chase#house md#malpractice md#i know the actors broke up irl or whatever but wtf.....#i should have ended my rewatch w their happy lil wedding at the end of s5#s6 everything instantly goes to shit#and stays shitty#chase should be happy fr#he's supposed to turn into house basically but they should have made him the well adjusted version of house#like how nightwing is the well adjusted version of batman#anyway i have no real point here i just lowkey dont like cameron bc of this arc#also her obsession w house is so weird i wish they hadn't made that a thing#this has been a shitpost#anyway she left chase at the absolute peak of his sexiness wtf.......#anyway since this apparently needs to be said its not that deep this is a silly post if you send me hate messages i wont answer#i block and ignore anon hate bc i am too busy touching grass to be rude to strangers over a tv show

Broke (2016): BBC Sherlock is a phenomenal piece of media and anything that seems like a flaw just hasn't been fully explored yet
Woke (2020): BBC Sherlock is an incredibly flawed series run by an egotistical writer, it never deserved the hype and is actively bad on so many fronts (especially representation)
Bespoke (2024): BBC Sherlock is flawed and bogged down by increasingly poor writing, which many fans refused to see while it was airing, leading to hugely misplaced expectations (particularly for the final series), AND it has the seeds of some compelling characterizations and portrayals, some genuinely solid performances, and touches--albeit imperfectly--on complexities that are still being discussed today (particularly as it relates to the relationship between Sherlock and John). The huge cultural impact of the show has created a massive pendulum effect in its public perception, leading to most people today remembering a caricature of the show (whether positive or negative) rather than appreciating its nuanced merits and failings...that being said Season 4 sucked
#these just sum up my personal takes at the years in question and also what i'm seeing on tumblr/other social media#bbc sherlock#sherlock holmes#and i actually have a lot more thoughts to share on this series#specifically relating to the cultural impact#there is SO much about the show that goes unappreciated in hindsight because of how public perception of it has soured#and i totally fell into this as well--i still regularly rewatch hbomberguy's video absolutely dismantling the series and he isn't wrong!!#but what i'm saying is that i think it's easy for us to look at a piece of media (especially one so massively popular) like sherlock...#with very black-and-white lenses. it wouldn't have become so popular if there wasn't something inherent in it that resonated with people#and that's being buried (and i totally forgot it) because 'sherlock is cringe and problematic. can't believe i liked that'#which again it IS full of issues and those are well-documented as they should be. future portrayals should not repeat those mistakes#BUT being able to impact so many people is a merit in itself. and that's only possible because of other genuinely good things about the show#yes the way they handled the relationship between john and sherlock was riddled with problems YES it was often queerbaiting#AND the way they portrayed that relationship had a deep effect on me. i saw a lot of myself in sherlock and the complex way he loved john#the nuanced feelings he had about john's marriage to mary. the part (in s4!) where john calls him inhuman for not feeling romantic love#there was genuine intention and care put into some parts of this show and it comes through in scenes like those. they impact people.#and because of this realization i'm going to (eventually) do a rewatch of the show. i'm much older and i want to see how i'll view it now#but i want to go into it--and i want everyone who engages with it still--to have an open mind and evaluate it for what it is#not what we expected it to be (secret episode anyone?) or what the cultural drift has turned it into (the tiktok of sherlock's mind palace)#but the messy problematic somewhat-heartfelt massively significant and ultimately meaningful piece of media it actually was#anyway that's my thoughts would love to hear y'all's perspectives#funny how after all this time making a sherlock post still feels like i'm poking a bees' nest lol please be kind!#kay can i just catch my breath for a second#kay has a party in the tags

Since I posted some of my old fanart yesterday... if you're not familiar with Slayers, and thus have never heard its amazing music, do check it out. It's largely by the same songwriter, Masami Okui, that did Utena's iconic opening (Rinbu Revolution) and ofc (TRUTH) and sung by a duo of her and Hayashibara Megumi (you know, the GOAT)
youtube
The entire OST pretty much slaps. there's only a couple of bad image songs in an absolute expanse of pure gold. GIVE A REASON, the opening to the second season, tends to be the reigning favorite. (I've a hard time pinning down my absolute favorite... of the original openings, it might be Breeze, but all three are so good. Of the entire catalog? Impossible to choose. Midnight Blue, Raging Waves, Within my Unlimited Desires, Gloria, Get Along... Impossible Choice)
#slayers#the slayers#music#anime#90s anime#Gourry's image song So In the World is like the cutest thing too#the series itself is a deep lore D&D parody swords and sorcery action/adventure series#very firmly a dramedy but when it decides to be serious it goes hard#it very rarely decides to be serious so it's always kind of a thrill when it does lol#but this post is about its soundtrack#namely its vocal songs#and as I said they slap a ridiculous amount#so here#Youtube#what if I go back and put Get Along in here too because I love it so much#I love any version that leaves lina's ramble in at the start#and the lyrics of I WANT THIS I WANT THAT... IT'S JUST HOW GIRLS ARE (showing lina blowing up shit lmao)#Hold on the memories of riding with my granddaddy to the big city next to us#so I could go to suncoast and get the new vhs release of NEXT when it was first being published in the US#just hit me like a sack of bricks#that's a good memory...

thinking about how in the Brazil ending the mask created Cassies ideal comforting scenario while she was about to die and it was just eating icecream with Gregory while watching a sunset
#they burned my house down and killed my family#superstar duo#Gregory#cassie#also helpi being there showing just how deep cassies trust and need for a friend goes#/her abandonment issues#gregory would always be there but helpi is there too because he was reliable and helped cassie when she needed it#so he gets a place in Cassies head#how lonely is she if her paradise spent with ppl she loves while she dies#that has her best friend in it also has an AI that guided her to save best friend there#not even her father#because hes absent and abandons her daily and sucks ass#pandas.txt#gregory

#op is actually losing it#ik i need to read more comics to get a wider understanding of a ton of the clones but like#must they tease us so-#i am verging on rabid#takes a deep breath#pls tell me you get it#star wars#the clone wars#the bad batch#clone headcanons#o'niner??? you cant lie and say u wish he didnt have more screen time#miss those mfs#rishi outpost has me entranced#domino squad#dont get me started on droidbait#oh and all clones stationed on kamino and coruscant#bc damn what a post#clone troopers#star wars clone wars#gn im tipsy and very much in love#same goes for barton iv in tbb#like bro WHAT#y'all're gonna show me that makeshift shrine and NOT tell me about each and every clone who served and died under Mayday??????#in my feels#send me songs you associate with random clones challenge#srsly do it i love music and it inspires me to write

Ouhhhh friendship I love friendship……..
#I’m reading volumes 14-16 of the ouran manga OOUGHHH MY HEART#I love this weird little friend group so much its unreal#like u have this charming sweeps you off your feet prince but he’s actually a huge lovable idiot with a kind heart and his friends#who are all misfits that he reached out to and drew in because of his kindness and own weirdness like that shits TIGHT BRO#and the trauma part where he has some deep seated issues with love bc he thinks that itll break a family apart like with his mom#how his family isnt allowed to be together because his mom and dad fell in love and how he says he wants to build a big house#so that way one day everyone will get along as a family like. all he wants is not to lose everyone and the only way to do that is#by maintaining a certain order.. he both wants a complete family so bad and doesnt want anything to sour between anyone#so he assigns each of his friends a family role based on how he sees them and YEAH its mostly played for giggles and tamakis#already weird so its his way of showing theyre close to him but. god damn this boy has LAYERS#it also feels kinda meta towards how found family tends to get thrown around to assign characters as 'siblings' or family roles instead of#using it to describe characters who are close enough to be each others family. cuz tamakis doing that EXACT THING in a way tht#ties in with his character and i have to say its fascinating using that within the story itself and its completely plausible#theres a lot of things i can say about ouran that are good bad and questionable but. god i love it when characters are niceys to each other#i remember i really liked the mall episode bc kyoya and haruhi got to spend time together and their relationship isnt very close#but it was really nice to see their personalities bounce off each other. i think i also wouldve liked to see haruhi alone with kaoru#i also firmly believe all of the hosts are at least a little in love with haruhi and this can be anything like endearing romantic cuz like#who DOESNT love haruhi. kyoya i think would want to study her under a microscope like his fascination with her draws him in#but im fucking obsessed with whatever haruhi and tamaki have going on because YES hes obsessed with her YES he jumps at the chance to#put her in a cute costume but haruhi? she just fucking goes with it because she knows hes fun to be around even if hes a little wacky abt i#theyre all so. NNGGHHHH#ouran#ohshc#yapping

Sorry if someone's already made this poll I am just DYING to know if anyone else finds it hard to believe, as the show seems to expect us to do, that he entirely failed to notice both these things.
Speaking for myself, I can accept the possibility that Julian was clever enough to hide his enhancements from even a trained spy, especially given his decades of practice at it. But personally I just cannot believe Garak didn't at least suspect something was off when Julian got replaced.
#Star Trek: Deep Space 9#garashir#Elim Garak#Julian Bashir#SOOOOOOO MANY THOUGHTS ON THIS TOPIC ALL WHIRLING AROUND IN MY BRAIN I NEED MORE OUTSIDE INPUT I NEED TO KNOW IF I'M GOING CRAZY OR NOT#also look everyone I made my very first poll :3 please clap#Starky's Original Posts#this post sounds confrontational but it's supposed to sound EXCITED because it's an EXCITING topic to me!!! I just can't talk sowwy#the thing that gets me about the changeling is that they show us that scene in Inferno's Light of him discussing darts with Miles#specifically to show us that its impersonation is not flawless!! there were signs!!#unless that was just supposed to signify that it was getting sloppier as it grew closer to its goal or w/e#anyways as far as fic goes I also love stories where the changeling specifically deals with Garak by either#1) drawing away from Garak making him think Julian just doesn't like him anymore; deliberately playing on an insecurity it can sense in him#OR WORSE#2) having sex with him to distract him from any inconsistent behavior; deliberately playing on a separate but related vulnerability#SO many evil possibilities given to us.................

listen. I don't just love father brown because I first saw it while ill with the flu or because it's consistently kind to the outcast in a way that has reviewers calling it Too Woke, obviously a vote in its favour. or because the recurring thief character is very pretty to watch. though those are significant parts of it.
I love it because after eight seasons father brown sits down with the village drunk (a munitions expert in the war, has a soft spot for the parish secretary, name of harold or blind harry) to find out why he gave a murder suspect a false alibi and harry explains to him, calm as you like, that seeing the life leave someone's eyes changes a person, that it's what he reckons brought father brown to his faith, that it's what drove him to drink, and he didn't see that shadow in the guy the police are chasing this time. and father brown, rather than justifying or correcting or dodging or doubting him, says he knows how unjust the situation is. that he got something good out of the horrors of the war. that harry really didn't.
it is not a perfect show and yes I have problems with it but gosh, this is a character who's largely used for comedic beats, albeit kindly, and a scene like this isn't out of place at all but it still takes my breath away. we could've been left with this as subtext, y'know? I hadn't even put together that his alcoholism must have been trauma. but instead harry tells us this directly, tells us it's about guilt, that that's something he shares with father brown, who is competent and so often cheerful and I can't even imagine when he was younger, and it's a moment of such unexpected humanity and respect. and it's such a strange thing to see these characters side by side like that.
the scene ends with father brown calling harry a good man, and harry denying it ("they was only young lads" "so were we, harold. so were we.") and the two them sharing a drink as father brown gets a bit watery-eyed and I'm crying too over my nice cosy 'this is a concerning number of murders for a sleepy english village' show and just. hi. what. ow.
I also haven't recovered from the episode that turned into a heist halfway through but frankly I'm only mentioning that because I don't know how to wrap up a post like this. (it was good though. there were two separate honeypots, three if you count the impromptu replacement, one character terrible at grifting and one unexpectedly great at it, and, somehow, a con within a con. it was really very fun. get a show that can do both, I guess?)
#back on my bullshit (unrepentant)#I was raised so protestant I retain a deep suspicion of priests so this remains very startling to me#something something father brown handshake emoji iroh#love where they are now no clue how they got there but it's always kind of a shock to be reminded there was blood along the way#also like. the kindness. the tea. the fondness for life's small pleasures.#pretending to be harmless and friendly and also BEING harmless and friendly to the core.#this is an association I had not made before so if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go hide my face in a pillow about it#father brown#falderal speaks#love a show that waits until you're comfy and then smacks you with a very human reminder of the horrors of war#love a character with. moral injury. listen shush I'm very predictable I just hadn't put together that it was father frikking brown too#silly little (not little) guy who elbows his way into situations by smiling pleasantly at people and who likes cake and jazz music#it's not like I forget he has depth I just. forget that the story GOES there#and so respectfully. harold who is usually slightly comic relief getting a serious moment that explains a lot and doesn't even feel jarring#I'm stopping here but like. good show‚ show. I did in fact have unexpected emotions about it.

Teen me watching Star Trek TOS The Empath having my world shook
#i texted my very practical friend who has neither seen nor cares about Star Trek after asking#do you think God allowed suffering because in the end it only made possible more beautiful brilliant more deeply wildly incredible good#displays of love so deep no one could fathom that would not have been possible if that suffering didn’t exist?#and she was like. maybe? idk#lol#i think so though#anyways it’s the most 60s muppet show episode but it’s important to Me#magpie goes where no one has gone before

thinkin about edd today
#apparently im one of those fans that loves to torture edd#but it aint my fault his parents dont love him#i imagine eddy's mom knows hes alone a lot and invites him to join them for thanksgiving but he's like#“i have no idea what youre talking about mrs. mcgee my parents who definitely love me are home right now yes indeedy”#then he goes home to heat up his little free range turkey and whole wheat stuffing and eats alone at a big empty table#if he's feeling dangerous he might eat on the couch and watch PBS#after dinner he calls eddy who regales him with stories about fucked up relatives#and he almost considers himself lucky for not having a close-knit family#i kinda picture edd moving to pc from out of state so his extended family doesn't live close#of course his parents might get the occasional holiday off so im sure he's not alone every year but#idk i've embarrassed myself before by sharing my thoughts about edd's parents and i'm sure it won't be the last#i'd like to write a long overly dramatic fic about a day in his life that takes place in the timeline of the show#but im knee deep in angst as it is#text

Everytime I tell people who know me pretty well I LOVED Pearl from Steven Universe as a child it’s so humiliating bc they’re always like oh of COURSE you did . I bet you loved her thing with rose quartz didn’t you and I have to admit Rosepearl was an integral part me building an understanding of queerness and they’re like that makes SO much sense. I cannot keep doing this
#fern.txt#its interesting looking back bc I feel SU being good at not making u feel ur being talked down to or talked over w how it goes#into emotions when ur watching it as a kid + the ambiguity of intimacy/love with rose and pearl just rlly clicked for me#bc i had known of gay relationships before but I have always been so obviously aromantic so if u explained them to me only in#the lens of romsntic relationships I just didn’t get it esp in how it could relate to my own identity#but idk I remember I watched rose’s scabbard over some classmates shoulder and was genuinely just so fascinated#with how pearl had all these deep feelings for another woman but it wasn’t just for the show to say they were exes n pearl wanted to get#back together with her or they used to be dating etc it was just her mourning her overall love and relationship w rose#and w my aromanticism I’ve always been able to understand love I just feel I hit a wall n disconnect when it’s romsntic love in the confines#of a conventional romsntic relationship%. so with this I was like wow I really resonate w this feeling of just rlly loving another woman and#I am able to kind of understand how those feelings fe n experiences exist outside of just Wanting To Date Someone#its rlly interesting bc I think it just continues to be a facet to my own queerness to this day#when it comes to relationships specifically I still lean towards n love ambiguity in fiction + my own work#bc I think that lets me resonate between when I jsut have this complete blind spot of being able to relate to anything with romsntic#relationships bc I’m on the aro spectrum OFL

does lime ever cry about anything or is angry more of his emotion? cause in all the childhood limochi comics mochi seems to be more the overflowing emotional one and lime is the more repressed on even back then. does that change at all ?
good catch!!! youre correct little mochi was VERY much the cry easy child. even if it was a little inconvenience or when she was angry the tears would flow!! not that she was a whiny brat but any time she got upset she couldnt stop the tears lol
and yes lime channels his negative emotions into anger. baby lime was very "haha REAL men dont cry!!!" type and even as he got older he recognizes "okay yeah everyone cries no big deal hahah" but theres still that underlying mindset. that being said hes a very dry anger type, so it takes a lot to actually get tears to come out, usually the only people hed ever cry for or to is his family + mochi.
the only time we actually SEE him cry is whatever the point is where all his pent up resentment about mochi leaving all of them without any word or warning comes out!! and as SOON as his eyes start watering he just freezes he cant even get anymore words out once he gets to that point
(and actually tried to up and run once the tears started but mochi wouldnt let him. and thats the only time we see lime cry -w- )
#he does NOT like crying#mochi cant help it#she gets a hell of a lot better at emotion control as she gets older though#but if she doesnt watch herself closely or turn it off in time that highly emotional person is still burried deep#theres several times when she started getting VERY emotional and then just. turns it off#you see the switch flip from wet anger to just. nothing#and lime goes (dont do that. dont fucking turn your heart off when youre talking to me)#its a skill a witch is taught growing up. to just turn all that stuff off on the outside so nothing shows#and lime can tell when she starts doing this#anyway. thanks for asking i miss talking abt my kids!!!!!#but lime was never the crying type to begin with#anyone remember that post about dry anger vs wet anger? thats lime and mochi respectively#he obviously cries at very sad things like loss of a loved one#but thats never like. screaming crying wailing. its very quiet sadness for him#i think baby mochi would cry if she saw a goat that was too cute

“she was driven to crime once”
Ironically this is exactly the reason why I love Blossom and how imperfect she can be, when I heard it was the majority of the fandom most least favorite episodes, it suddenly explains a lot, apparently this fandom is full off wuss who just wants their characters/girls to be as perfect pure angels as possible. Interesting characters? What’s that?/s
Honestly, that’s a great episode and people who dislike it… can dislike it, but they are still wrong. God forbid a girl make mistakes! 😩
#I don’t remember if I ever did a deep dive into that ep but it’s one of my faves#it’s so freaking funny too#it’s so fun to see blossom wanting so badly to be like the perfect daughter that she goes THAT far and tries to justify it#she does a lot of justifying in the show honestly#like when she dealt with the ministry of pain… and dick…#anyway bottom line is i love her

also was revisiting a little bmc bway interview ft. william last night & him saying his favorite part of the show was probably doing the agtikbi reprise scene on the couch at the party & mentioning the Nonverbal aspect of jeremy & christine's interacting / communicating there & a way of exploring/depicting Love & Affection in a way you don't always see everywhere and like aaaarghhhhh so true good lord that specific scene. and Again the bway obcr version Existing and being like that, it's just like. winded exhale yeah obsessed 5ever thank you all
#sooo true so true....#bmc#love putting it right in like the eye of the storm#both of them basically just having had these breakups & with jeremy that means mitb scene And [all of that A Time he had prior]#also now reflecting on how you know obviously he was Not ready to hear it w/michael & ofc he was affected by what all Just happened#but it's also like probably the worst time to be very pushy even with the best intentions & thinking it's Urgent & right abt all that lmao#but jeremy's Just had like whoops autonomy revoked ten ways to sunday from two different squip figures like#even [being correct! having jeremy's wellbeing in mind!] behind trying to yank him into some outcome; he's gonna be like Not Again#& ofc the sunk cost re: his squip & he has not had time to catch his breath like literally; not in a place to Confront Shit#if even his missed bestie is; from his perspective here; not at all comforting & not giving him what he feels is a real option....#& anyways ofc we can sympathize / understand them both b/c that's what the show is giving at all moments re all characters#all this to say like jeremy & christine like having such a time being very at sea very uncomfortable but then having This moment#and the refreshment & relief finally of having this successful genuine connection & relative security being with this person rn#love & affection for sure....just say what's on your mind....lord first of all that they improvise those Noises every night. i'm gonna cry#second of all imagining not knowing how that scene goes & the pause & jeremy like [augh] & then christine just Yes Anding. aaaugh#head in hands haven't even relistened for a moment despite all this reflection. the downtempo quiet reprise waaah#it's Pretty killer to sit & chat with you....it's pretty killer for me too....sooo true Not getting this everywhere always & Waaugh ;;m;;#and wasn't even thinking of it as a joke like [and talking about devote specific focus on the Nonverbal aspect of such a scene: im putting#my hands on the shoulders of that & keep drawing a deep breath to start talking abt it but instead going Whew & making Expressions]#i.e. the significance of my nonverbal response as per conveying emotions & thoughts lmao. and just....You Know
