#no one knows shit yet. we’re literally on ep3

[akkpipitphattana]

random thought but i wish people would stop like. condemning other people’s theories. like atp in the show none of us ACTUALLY know where it’s going, so pretty much everything is speculation. like you can disagree with someone’s theory without being like “there’s no way that’s what’s happening!!!!!”

[mollyolikeme]

NATLA

my reactions to the netflix adaptation baby!

it's long-winded as hell!

and also just a stream of consciousness, BEWARE.

Ep1

good start. 

beautiful bending. way to go animator team or cgi or like all those people that i don’t know their job title or descriptions but who have done a great job. (big step up from the adaptation we shan’t name!) 

really being like, 'this aint your fun kids show' outta the gate with the burning people alive multiple times in a row, but sure. 

katara shoulda been pissed and broke the glacier but fine i guess

v cool symbols within the arrow

weep for gyatso. beautiful representation. upsetting visuals.

‘relatively’ painless first ep changes, i enjoyed myself! 

Ep2

sticky rice. perfect.

Kyoshi warrior make-up????? AHHHHHH IT IS BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT! Suki is gorg!

YES AIR SCOOTER 

kayyyyy but we don't need to make suki weird and awkward around sokka just because he's 'no longer sexist' (or whatever we wanna call that choice) and they need some reason to interact. why not ‘hey we’re both hot, lets flirt’

the warriors training is beautiful 

what if, we were training, and we looked in each others eyes, then we kissed *giggle giggle giggle*

Its giving, ‘I knew i shouldn't have asked kyoshi’ lololol

stealing roku’s thunder…….i’ll forgive it because Kyoshi absolutely KILLED! (and she’s a giant. we love)

kay this Zhao works, Ken is turning it out. His crazy energy is on display.

Ep3

no need to give us rebels within the fire nation. literally no point at this time in the story. we just entered this world, there can be one bad side without getting into the grey yet. leave it.

is that who? or is it? can it be?

jet intro woooooork

CABBAGES!

tao is SO SERIOUS. a bit much

the mechanist by our boy Danny pudi is decent 

azula mai ty-lee. DOES NOT EXIST TO MINE EYES

holy fuck TOO MANY PLOTS and CHARACTERS like RELAX. (why are they all in this episode?)

jet doing jet tho. his hair is soooooooo fluffy haha

fuck it up zuko aang fight. boots the house down with that fight choreo! THE SCARVES?!Love!!!

Ep4

Bumi being angry at aang WHY? No fucking need for that. 

unnecessarily convoluted bumi. it’s like they wanna change plot and character, just to change plot and character? it doesn’t work and it makes them look bad (the writers)

bumi plot didn’t need to go down like that 

to take the cave of two lovers out of season two. why?

the minstrels are lovely, i like them, good job actors yay! 

separating story lines though… makes us miss out on gems like ‘no one react, but i think that kid is the avatar’ BIG LOSS

pretty story of omashu animation, holding to the roots in the og episode. as they should 

Give one of the earth benders who captures Iroh a full on new backstory why?

iroh backstory, well done. leaves from the vine music?????? tear jerk reaction is instant.

bumi bumi bumi smh…... see above. 

dawwwwww our scarred boy. uncle is here for you.

Ep5 

Should we name an episode spirited away? ……….    ._.

Why does aang automatically know the lost villagers are in the spirit world? He doesnt really know that shit yet so…… 

NO AZULA IN SEASON ONE. GTFO. Why give her a fucking monologue to her father advising him on the war without being asked and then he snaps at her for kissing ass!? And defends zuko? Mf hates zuko! And now azula has a story arc about being constantly compared to zuko? Thats fucking backwards BITCH. if this plot line sticks imma burst into flames and set the writers on fire with my burning body.

Also lay off on the serious serious tone dumb fucks. 

kid who plays zuko gets it. whine whine whine.

Why bring sokka and katara to the spirit world? You split them up during other adventures but when he’s doing the things that are legitimate avatar duties, they come along….. 

Arden Cho can do NO WRONG. My love. 

THE KNOWLEDGE SPIRIT NOW!?! WTF are you doing!? Embarrassing. 

TOO EARLY FOR AZULA! And mai and ty-lee are cardboard!?!?! WHY???

Paul as Iroh is correct. 100% correct. Kid who plays zuko (dallas?) has been v good. 

Heibai looks slay. 

VERY STUPID THAT YUE GOES TO THE SPIRIT WORLD AS A THREE TAILED FOX. OMG. (i spoiled my self for that kinda but also its obvious and bad) 

Kay we're gonna skip bato of the water tribe I guess. 

Adding conflict with Hakoda and sokka for what reason? honestly curious. 

Doing katara’s story with her mom early is fine. its v heartbreaking and well done.

Why Koh now? Why add to that plot line? Changing the way Koh works with the fog?….. 

koh design though? AMAZING. TERRIFYING.

Also instead of LIGHT filler episodes they go SAD filler……  -_-

ooop. gyatso! okay…. i guess. that’s alright.

Ep6 

Not Iroh’s bun! how dare you archers?!

'he cares too much' okay caring about whether a soldier's life is lost is not too much.... but alright.

How many more times you think they could fit the phrase ‘saving the world’ into this adaptation?

Honest question. What was this latest attempt at an atla adaptation’s goal for the overarching message for this season based on their changes? like.... hmmmmm?

what is on the firebenders soldiers hands? anyone? i haven't looked close enough or paused it to see.

the blue spirit mask is perfect. if they got that wrong i would have thrown up

blue spirit escape on point!

lol zuko *slaps aangs hand away*

first fun goofy, non directly plot driving convo between zuko and aang for about two seconds this episode. about damn time.

lol every episode having a voice over, like why.

koh would not be giving people back though. facts.

good zuko backstory. hits the feels just right. curious, they have been leaving this arc as is more than all the other arcs…… is it per chance, perhaps, mayhaps because zuko’s character journey is one for the history books and is as close to perfection that any story teller can hope for? hm? maybe? YOU THINK?! 

Ep7

team avatar should be sokka's line....

aang has yet to water bend..........

NOOOO NO NO NO NO NO so dirty they did Yue SO dirty. 

enough Azula plot. just stop. it's embarrassing to attempt to change this. she hasn’t HIT as a character at all. Theres no punch. VERY embarrassing. and Mai and ty-lee are CARICATURES of themselves. 

your 'the one’ what azula? that makes no sense. 

Yue is a bender?.......

yue fox bullshit is stupid. sorry not sorry. not that she could go to the spirit world but that they teased her early in the first place. it’s not interesting or new just taking the whole swamp ep and revamping it for this season.

'wise to focus on your training during the journey'???? from what teacher was he gonna learn MF?! are you fucking dumb? 

aang Keeps. On. Saying. 'i need help' but the fucking master water bender isn't like 'yo, lets get training right away!’ …..where am i!? 

don't rewrite the koi fish. DO NOT REWRITE THE KOI FISH.

unforgiveable wig. 

'boy of my dreams' bitch you had one dream. (yea you have a connection or whatever but ew. don’t say that)

WHY HASN’T AANG WATERBENDED YET! 

take sokka's sexism out but AMP the northern water tribes sexism up to 1000% ??? WHY? 

Bad bad bad bad bad. do not have aang tell katara not to fight. that is fucking stupid. SUCH WEIRD DECISIONS. GUYS. netflix writers. please. fucking RELENT! stop fucking with magic. 

LOL Iroh and zuko are my biggest highlight. easily. 

'my plan? my plan is to reclaim whats mine!’  ‘so no plan then?’ HA!

get azula and firelord plot OUT of here! FUCK OFF. i get it. i get they are good characters. great characters! and you wanna write them. but for the love of all story telling, you are going to burn yourselves out of plot too soon and then just start dishing out trash as if its a meal. i won’t eat your trash. I’m telling you now. 

Daniel dae kim is good shit. (still wish he wasn't in the season but he's got the energy. and i love him) 

YES Katara's hair during the Pakku fight. that's on point. 

LET. KATARA. BE. ANGRY.

Good little scene about family at the end there. very cute scene and dialogue.

final ep!

do not name it legends. just. yuck.

to bring the blimp in during the war of the northern water tribe? kayyyyy. i'll allow it.

pakku gave crumbs to the women......

cuuuute the young water benders reporting to Katara and calling her master. i like that a lot.

I'm sorry ICE MOON??? (is this a real thing that i don’t know about or did they make it up? AITA)

one night in the physical world? noooooooooooooo. nope thats actually incorrect. your welcome for the correction. (odd detail to change in the first place. maybe someone has a better reason why they would do that? no?) 

why the fuck would you hurt momo?

amazing round doors. love. love. love the sets.

beautiful oasis. crushed that.

BEAUTIFUL scene design, costume design, make-up and hair artists, and overall art department! Fucking Killed It! They're the real heroes! 

zuko and iroh having the most word for word lines as any other characters, can't mess with fucking iconic bitches!

VERY excellent colour effects when the moon spirit dies. 

im fine with Hahn not being a dick. dats cool.

silly to say that aang 'can't come back' from merging with the ocean spirit. was that a threat in our OG? No.

The ocean spirit looks good. that was fucking tough to do im sure.

no need to make it look like the firebenders can face the OCEAN SPIRIT. it's an easy battle for him not the puny humans.

good final war. they did it quite well. lovely atmosphere and intensity. the good stuff.

omg. you killed the teen and Hahn?! whu wha? 

yes, sorry… WHY on earth did Aang not bend a single GD drop of water?! why in gods name in vain?! who, who fucking decided that? WHO?!

LOL little Aang actor needing a tear stick (he’s using) 

'northern water tribe was never the target' how many times can you fucking say that. no one is THAT infinitely clever. you're not pulling the wool over their eyes. one fight happened in one location and one in another, no one can ever be everywhere at once so…….. enough with the smug.

why have azula take omashu now? because they are giving azula plot early for no reason and because they are gonna fuck with ba sing se? literally fuck off. 

STOP stealing shit from other episodes, the calendar is in the library. season two. same with the knowledge spirit. if you didn’t know. 

okay done! (overall, a lot of good work went into this by people who i’m sure cared a lot. but no one should be surprised when everyone gives their harshest critique. source material with a steadfast fandom my loves. you had it coming <3) 

[americachavez]

did cas really tell dean to kneel before their new god? did that actually happen? i thought him beating the shit out of dean in that alley was the most unrestrainedly horny thing this show had ever done ACTUALLY you know what scratch that new question: top horny moments from the cw's supernatural (2005 - 2020)

getting this ask feels like my sins of the last week have been weighed against the Trials I Have Gone Through since the premier of supernatural on the wb in september of 2005 and I’m not sure if it is a punishment or reward

some notes before we begin:

the ep with dean’s male siren was like, conceptually horny but not actually that horny because the dude was uglie. I’m sorry to this man

all you sam girls out there. I respect you but I do not respect jared padalecki who is JUST tall and has zero sex appeal. but those eps where he’s like, drinking ruby’s blood and then eating her pussy are. you know. I’ll give you that

I am ONLY UP TO SEASON 10 so fair warning this is not comprehensive but the horniness does seem to drop off sharply after the mark of cain is no longer in play lol gotta love a good demon murder tattoo plot

this is easily the most insane thing I’ve ever done, including the destiel manifesto

S1 EP12: the scene where dean gets healed by the faith healer, on his knees with a hand in his hair and looking somewhere between religious ecstasy, brain death and an orgasm. starting this list off great

S1 EP22: azazel possessing john winchester. no I will not explain further if u know u know <3

S3 EP10: dean being taunted by a dream version of himself, this is where we first got the daddy’s blunt little instrument line. still burned in my hippocampus a good 13 years later thank yew

S4 EP1: dean crawling out of his own grave covered in grave dirt. hot. the HANDPRINT. HOT. also tangent but this reveal after the s3 finale was WILD back in 2008 I hollered in my dorm room after canvassing for obama. simpler times man

S4 EP 1: cas’ intro scene. the barn. the shadow wings. the hair??? getting stabbed in the chest by the man you just pulled out of hell. getting aaaallll up in that personal space. his little eyebrow. “you don’t think you deserve to be saved.” OUTRAGEOUSLY FLAMING

S4 EP02: “I dragged you out of hell I can throw you back in.” <<< this angel tops. mark dean down as scared and horny etc

S4 EP16: this ENTIRE EPISODE but specifically the part where dean tortures alastair as some kind of foreplay and then alastair kicks his ass. carved you into a new animal. jesus.

S4 EP16: wait I forgot about the part where cas also gets his ass kicked and looks all....hm. dazed and covered in blood while he’s on his knees and about to die. yeah.

S5 EP4: I mean this entire ep is unfairly horny considering everyone is dying of a zombie plague and hasn’t showered in like, 4 years but if I had to pick one hmmm. the dean/dean interrogation scene with the panty kink yeah I know it’s not original but hm. it happened. also misha collins just being able to convey that CAS IS A FLEXIBLE SLUT with a single roll of his shoulders. who SAYS this man can’t act!!!!!

S5 EP18: the ALLEY SCENE. DEAN DOESN’T FIGHT BACK. CAS HOLDS HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND THEN THROWS HIM ACROSS THE ALLEY. WHY DID EVERYONE THINK CAS COULDN’T TOP. you all had brainworms.

S5 EP18: when cas locks dean in the panic room to stop him from saying yes to michael and “well cas not for nothing but the last person who looked at me like that I got laid” I hate this show. wait I think the blow me cas line is in this episode too what the fuck were they on here

S6 EP5: the scene where dean gets turned into a vampire. between the old dude who I think calls dean a pretty boy (??) and soulless sam....watching??? no ******* but there were just some absolutely foul energies in that scene and I still do not understand WHAT they were thinking

S6 EP20: cas doing a double smite on two demons by slamming them to the ground and then shoving another demon back in its vessel and then smiting him in the same motion. TOP. ENERGY.

S6 EP22: season 6 is possibly cas’ horniest season because he’s like, going through angel puberty after getting his first boner for dean, but the final cas eps are. whoof. cas eats a bunch of souls and proclaims himself to be a new god in order to handle said boner, and then the season ends with cas telling them to bow down and profess their love to him, their new lord, or he will destroy them. note: the way this is framed makes it look like cas is only staring at dean while he says this, even though sam and bobby are also there. the season ends with dramatic zooms on both cas and dean’s faces respectively. this made me actively regret ditching this show after s5 lol

S8 EP??: literally EVERY SINGLE PURGATORY FLASHBACK. cas dean and benny are all purgatory hot in the “pop 10 cranberry pills and risk the UTI” kind of way but also. dean being the hot girl bottom between two tops who hate each other. I really. whew. I need to go take a shower.

S8 EP17: if I get canceled for including the crypt scene on this list I blame you bud. but dean on his knees begging a brainwashed cas to stop killing him WAS sexy. how many times has dean been on his knees in this list wait there’s another one coming up next jsldjfsldkjf

S9 EP2: abaddon getting dean on his knees (YEAH) and pulling his hair and praising him for always coming when called HELLO???? the only thing that ruins this is dean says “I can’t tell if we’re gonna fight or make out” because this is the CW and they won’t let him say fuck

S9 EP6: ah. this entire episode is Emotionally Horny but the horny horny part is when they’re in the car and dean is telling cas to unbutton his shirt and. watches. I know this was on my destiel manifesto but I need it here too

S9 EP9: cas, covered in blood, slitting another angel’s throat and eating his grace after getting tortured. that shot alone made me understand why this website was so goddamn horny for misha collins for nearly a damn decade

S9 EP11: MARK OF CAIN BABEY. cain watching dean beat up a bunch of demons as an audition for taking on the mark, while crowley also is a fucking voyeur to the whole thing. cain is also a hot silver fox with daddy energies. I said what I said

S9 EP 16: dean getting the first blade. he’s chained to a pillar and being menaced by a foppish dandy who wants to add him to his “collection” (WOW). dean then kills him with the blade and whew. murder is sexy sometimes

S9 EP21: dean being pinned against a wall by abaddon’s power, then using the mark of cain to break her hold, calling the first blade to him psychically and then killing her. god the mark of cain is hot

S9 EP23: dean waking up with the demon eyes NUT

S10 EP2: demon dean beating up that dude with the boring backstory and kicking his ass. really was a go on baby I got your flower moment because I hated that dude and I love demon dean

S10 EP3: demon dean being chained up and taunting sam about how his brother is gone, then hunting sam through the bunker. demon dean in general was VERY fun for me, someone who loves trash

S10 EP9: dean going berserk and killing a bunch of pedophile rapists/child abusers. I’m sorry I know this show is trying to preach morality at me about monsters and unnecessary murder and humanity or whatever but we blew past that like 8 SEASONS AGO. also the mark of cain is sexy

S10 EP14: the rest of this list is really gonna be mark of cain stuff isn’t it look I’m here to have fun. cain and dean’s fight. cain continuously tossing his mane of hair back and taunting dean with the picture of what he’s going to become, who he’s going to kill. dean begging cain to tell him that he can stop, and then ultimately killing him. rip daddy.

S11 EP4: again I have not watched this however. every shot of this episode is PRESTIGE TELEVISION because driving a muscle car is sexy. and especially the shot of dean all beat to hell and begging his car to start and giving her a little kiss from his fingers to her dash. ugh. masculinity.

S12 EP10: the bearded salt-and-pepper daddy look returns, only it’s an angel this time and he’s wearing a vest and shirtsleeves and he swordfights with a hot redheaded lady in a suit and an eyepatch. this show is good sometimes!!! and oh fuck lol I just realized this is the same guy who played krissy’s hot hunter dad in s7 probably the first guy who’s hotter as an angel than a hunter. huh.

S12 EP 11: dean riding larry the mechanical bull to “broomstick cowboy.” I have no idea where this factors into the ep but I have seen. the youtube clip

S13 EP23: from what I can tell s13 is way more emotionally horny than boner horny, although dean burning cas’ body was sexy. but the horniest part was dean saying yes to michael and then michael taking over and saying “thanks for the suit.” we are going to ignore the silliest fight scene in existence as well as the final shot ending on a FREEZE FRAME like a goddamn tiktok

S14: not gonna pick a specific moment because I have not watched yet!!! but michael dean is hot. idk why michael is weirdly hot and I cannot stand any iteration of lucifer on this television programme. it should be the reverse but I’m forever an older sibling stan apparently. someone who is catholic could probably explain this better.

S15 EP13: genevieve padalecki and danneel ackles fight flirting as ruby and anael I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY HELD OUT ON THIS TILL THE LAST SEASON

I know I am missing things but this is already an absolutely incomprehensible screed. I know I’m missing shit from the latter seasons but give me time I’m pacing myself

[staliasjeronica]

Riverdale S5 Ep3 Thoughts *Spoilers*

Thoughts on the episode under the cut! I literally can’t wait for us to all be free of Bughead. And I heard there were some Jeronica crumbs AHHHHHHH SCREAMING!!!

- OMG THE CALLBACK TO THE FIRST EPISODE. THE FIRST VOICE OVER. Beautiful. I love that so much.

- FP having to leave </3 I’m not ready to not see Falice

- Hiram looks good roughed up tbh

- Reinstating Sheriff Keller?! YESS. They were sleeping under the boxing ring??

- FRED NO PLEASE 💔💔💔 MY HEART. He really did miss graduation just like he said before 😭😭

- Also not Riverdale but why is there always an ad literally five minutes into the ep??? But at least the Joe Keery Taco Bell ad came on so… it’s okay!

- My family was so excited when I got my cap and gown and seeing Mary just… messing with it brings me back.

- The callbacks to s1 are gonna fuck me up aren’t they 😭😭 Cheryl crying is always so beautiful

- I had to miss most of Alice and Betty’s convo because my mom’s trach came out but Betty saying that thanksgiving would be the two of them LOL as if Betty cares about her mom’s feelings…

- I was thinking that the senior’s pictures in the capsule was gonna be someone’s relative so we could find out a little bit about Sweet Pea or Fangs’ families smh

- THE “SECONDARY” GROUP HANGING OUT TOGETHER YESS. THERE’S A SERPENT PAGE AHHH

- So Weatherbee can join a cult but when Archie is wrongfully accused of murder and then placed into an illegal boxing ring, no one gives him a break… irl they probably would have lol

- Sweet Pea and Reggie hugging idc they’re step bros. The Kangs kiss was kinda cute ngl WHY DIDN’T CHONI KISS? Veronica going up to Archie unsure what to do :(

- Veronica bringing back Archie’s stuff :((( why does VA have to break up first smh they’re the hotter couple.

- Them making out was so weird… like knowing Archie doesn’t want to be with her and Veronica doesn’t either… like I get it but still it looked so forced. I think it was on purpose which bodes well for their acting skills but-

- The entire idea of break up sex is so weird esp when it comest to cheating/lost feelings like why would you want to do that… BUT VERONICA LOOKS CUTE AF RN

- Jughead’s VO on V’s face, and Jughead looks good….

- TONI’S GRANDMOTHER. AND SWANGS, glad they remember their friendship exists. “including my girlfriend.” “We’re so proud of you, Toni.” AHH

- Archie watching everyone he cares about with their parents :(

- Still wondering how Betty is valedictorian… makes little sense. But her speech is good so I’ll let this fanservice slide I guess

- ARCHIE SINGING THE SONG MY CHOIR SANG FOR GRADUATION OH MY FUCKING GOD MY HEART

- Everyone looks so cute in their cap and gown!! Alice’s gaze at FP how sweet 🥺🥺

- Swangs! Reggie!! SP’s reaction to Reggie makes me again hc them as step bros and friends that is all.

- So sad but I feel so… enlightened. Like I did when I graduated.

- NOT PENELOPE… wait she’s giving herself in for Cheryl??? Since when has she ever cared about Cheryl… but she’s doing good so-

- JB in the fucking side car lmao

- Falice 💔 “îs this is? the end of our story?” STOP HEER SWIPING GHERE FINGERS OVER HIS LIPS FUCKKKK when they have the most romantic and passionate kisses over everybody, rivaling Barchie as they should!

- FP GETTING A RIDE ALONG WITH THE SERPENTS PLS

- It’s so annoying that there’s absolutely no Barchie whatsoever like they cheat and then give NOTHING???

- Veronica’s outfit is so fucking sexy

- Veronica handing over full ownership of Pop’s to Pop 🥺❤️ I love the most selfless woman in Riverdale. GOD. The way Pop’s is both her and Jughead’s home though.

- A bobby pin why-

- Josie’s cat ears 🥺❤️

- Keeping her serpent jacket and knowing she’ll be queen later yess.

- Cheryl is all of us “finally” NOW LET THE UGLY BEANIE STAY GONE.

- I think Jeronica is on the same step mmhm

- So all V’s reaction but not Betty’s…? The woman he loves? The woman who loves him? Betty supporting him no matter what though 🥺🥺

- Veronica being worried for Archie though I totally understand.

- Why isn’t Cheryl going to Highsmith? IF YOU DON’T GO, I WON’T GO.  It’s amazing Cheryl is fixing the Blossom family name but couldn’t she also go to college…? NANA TOPAZ WANTING TO SEND CHONI CARE PACKAGES 😭😭 “Toni, you know I love you with every ounce of my soul.” I HATE THIS. “Don’t say it.” STOP STOP STOP “Then you never shall.”

- JUGHEAD ASKING ABOUT VERONICA MUAH TAKING MY CRUMBS

- JUGHEAD REALIZING TTHAT V DIDN’T KNOW WHAT ARCHIE WAS PLANNING.

- OMG IS BETTY FINALLY TELLING JUGHEAD YESS and he’s in her bed LMAO

- Betty you always say you should tell Jugheead when shit happens but you never do until you’re forced to. (aka Jughhead finding out) BUT LOL HIM NOT KISSING HER BACK. Nvm take us back to the VA sex scene…. it’s so dumb like at least break up sex makes sense for them but bh???

- So… they had Jeronica not care about being cheated on?????? lol ok

- Betty saying she should be with V so she wouldn’t have to say “Archie” after her revealing Barcheating

- V slap the fuck out of B now. WHY AREN’T YOU MAD AT BETTY? SHE LITERALLY—

- So what was the point of having Barchie cheat if no one was going to care or have any fallout… NORMAL HIGHSCHOOL ANGST? CHEATING ISN’T—

- Veronica looks so good though when she’s crying ugh we love a queen

- “I wish I had said goodbye to him” so they said that its would be someone you wouldn’t expect her to say it to and it was towards ARCHIE? What kind of actual bullshit???

- Not Archie’s main memories being with Veronica. He literally doesn’t love her anymore. This fucking show really did nothing with Barchie how fucked up is that. BUT HER WAVING TO HIM THAT WAS SO CUTE PLS

- “Barchie cheated and Archie doesn’t love V anymore.” “I LOVE YOU” literally… what the fuck is this show?

- “Don’t bro me.” ???

- They’re literally acting like Barchie never cheated. WHAT WAS THE POINT THEN??? God I wish the writers knew how to write.

- Jeronica wearing blue colors though muah

- BH IN THE SAME BED ALL SPLIT APART LMAOOOO. AND THE COUCH LOL bh break up say the words now

- Of course you’ll always love Betty, Jughead, she’s gonna be your step sister <3 for real this time

- THE COOPER’S ANYMORE…. when it was literally the Jones’ and the Cooper’s literally moved in with them. THE ANDREWS? The Bunker of course “honey I’m home” sjdkfahsjlfkak

- This is actually quite sad though. A little weird, but sad.

- But see how normal Jughead acts when he and Betty break up? I’ve been saying it!

- THE COUPLE LITERALLY BEING WHAT BARCHIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN!?  Mmmhhm

- ADULT BARCHIE SLAPSSSSSSSS.  Can’t wait for my Jeronica crumbs… can’t believe I’m actually saying Betty being FBI doesn’t seem that awful (yet, until it’s in every line and shoved down our throats)

[frostygar]

Arrow S7 Ep3 Thoughts

- It has been months since I last did one of these because I really do NOT want to watch Arrow since I find it kinda slow and boring but I want to watch the Elseworld’s crossover in order so I kinda have to… plus the show’s done now so why not get the chance to say “I finished that show”

- So if I forget anything forgive me lol

- Felicity not taking no for an answer we love to see it

- “It’s not my fault your husband is in prison.” It… partly is, isn’t it?

- “Go home, enjoy your freedom.” Even though you got attacked by the guy we’re trying to get while in protective custody, so nowhere you go will be safe but YES GO HOME.”

- JOHN AND LYLA AND LIL JJ AWWWW “I had been working him for twenty minutes and you get him to confess in 15 seconds?” “I am his mom and your boss, we leave in 5 minutes.” 🥺❤️

- “Felicity will be fine.” IF SHE CAN STILL BE ATTACKED IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY, AKA THE ONE PLACE YOU SHOULD BE SAFE, SHE WILL NOT BE OKAY?!?!?! WHY DOES NO ONE TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY?

- “A Curtis Holt original” 🥺🥺🥺

- John and Lyla working together and going undercover ugh I love that sm… something about two powerful people (usually one more than the other due to rank, even though they shouldn’t be able to be together because of their work) working together and dating at the same time it’s just so… tasteful 👀❤️

- “Wait, we’re calling her The Silencer now?” “It’s better than Belt Lady.” “Noted.” As slow and sometimes boring this show is, I really love it when they allow humor in, which is why I really like the newerish characters because they aren’t as serious as Oliver and John and such

- “Here’s a plan that we can use to capture Diaz.” Everybody else: “mmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no❤️” wouldn’t hurt to try it. He’s still a wanted person, even if he’s not top priority…

- the way Oliver pushed that one dude back….. um yes 👀👀👀

- imagine knowing that Arrow has taken on like a whole room full of guys and won but you think three to four dudes in a small room is going to make any difference and that you’d win,,,, lol

- If Brick and his guys couldn’t defeat Oliver what makes him think that another group of guys would successfully rid them of Oliver??

- Sigh, it seems way too quick and easy to get Diaz on the third episode…

- “No, I just prefer to spend my time actually catching criminals” and we love you for it ❤️❤️

- lol Diaz taking his sweet ass time to collect the vials while his team fights asdfghjkl; what a cocky little asshole

- But god I hate when shows use the same villain for more than a season (unless they end it in the first episode for some reason) it’s so annoying. Like Damian Darkh who literally will NOT die

- Why does Lyla ALWAYS have to end up lying to John? THEY’RE HUSBAND AND WIFE. WHO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE SAME GOAL. There’s literally no reason to not tell him. And whenever he does find out, it’s either something stupid or something he could have known and it’d have made no difference. Couples don’t have to constantly go through shit to be a couple.

- “I was trying to protect you. I wasn’t keeping secrets.” I—?? Just because you were trying to protect him doesn’t mean that keeping it from him isn’t keeping it a secret…. that sentence was so weird to type out but THAT’S HOW DUMB AND INCORRECT IT SOUNDS IN THE SHOW

- “Sometimes you have to cross the line for the greater good.” where was this attitude last season and before fjashkfhsjd but also not her thinking he doesn’t understand? He knows what you mean and why you did it but he’s upset that you HID IT FROM HIM when he’s the one who would understand the most

- GODD NOT MORE ILLEGAL FIGHTING. Every time a show does it it’s the most boring shit ever

- but I guess I can let it go because unlike Riverdale it’s not spaced out between other scenes that I’d rather watch whole and it’s actually fun to watch Oliver beat the shit out of this guy

- WHEN HE BREAKS BOTH OF THE DUDES ARMS…. BRUHHH I CAN’T FEEL MY ELBOWS RN

- Don’t tell me Oliver now has to be a bad guy to get to level 2 and go against his morals and shit and get more trauma for this demon dude…. Oliver going back and forth on his morals and such is so annoying like one second he’s like “We don’t kill!” and then the next he’s like “lol who made up that dumb rule? me? no possible way.”

- The second that woman said things would have been different if they had gotten something… I knew straight away that that meant Felicity did have something she just isn’t saying it yet

- I don’t know why John has to apologize but doesn’t he always have to apologize for shit he doesn’t have to??

- OH SO THEY DID THAT HER 👀👀👀 HELLO QUEEN

- oh goodie the “villain takes ‘steroids’ to get stronger and stronger’ that always ends up being an annoying plot line yay

- yanno it would have been interesting and hilarious if that dude who wedged his way into being “friends” with Oliver was the demon or something

- Overall I know I get bored easily and have to pause and force myself to continue watching after I get distracted and such but that was actually a pretty good episode.

[thepeerieeen]

I'm having a "bad brain day" so I'm gonna binge watch some (presumably shitty) teenage tv, and you never know, I might enjoy it. So I'm seeing Free Rein on Netflix and I'm gonna give it a watch: here are my thoughts below the cut (it gets long, sorry). I should also note that I know next to nothing about horses or horse riding. Also there are probably spoilers ahead.

Ep1:

Nice scenery

She looks uncomfortable, like they've just put her on a horse and told her to smile

Why is Zoe Scottish

Wait nvm

Oh hey, Zoe's cute

The grandad is brilliant I already love him

Ah, no father. Same

Why is there just shit on the side of the road, there are no animals around and I doubt the horses would go to the side of the road to poo

Why does he still have kids drawings on his cupboards?

Digging the teapot

Ah, layered tops. Typical teenage fashion

"The light will come through again" needing that today

Haha "what's a wifi"

At least they represent Jetlag though

Ah yes, one daughter goes missing - send the other one out to look for her. What could possibly go wrong.

Ooh, that acting wasn't great. Though the blonde is actually quite a good actress

Ooh, Raven. Ooh, foreshadowing (I guess)

K but this isn't the type of thing Austen would write

Why is Marcus like 25, the others are like 12 what

He's not even that attractive? (Says the bisexual who is more into women rn)

Horsome - the new fetch

Ah yes, get off the bike, that makes sense

Oh look a wild horse, who'd've ever thought???

Oh wow! Wild horse who is only understood by outcast? This is groundbreaking!

(Jk I'm kinda into this ngl)

An actual Scottish person!

Who's the guy with the cheekbones and why is he so shifty

What happened to the bike?

Oh Derek is obviously in love with the main stable person

Ah yes, stop looking for your sister and go chat to a horse

Bitch number one has arrived

Of course she owns the horse. That makes sense

They've called him hot Marcus jesus what is this

Cheekbones is stealing. Stop being shifty.

Welp theres the first continuity error I've spotted

Cheekbones is stalking now, apparently

Cheekbones is about to be falling in love, I'm calling it

He's also like, twenty tho

Oh shit what why is she being stalked now??

Ep2:

This is clearly a dream though

Are jelly shoes back in fashion? Sweet

I refuse to believe she could hear him from that distance and a closed window

I predict a love triangle

I mean cheekbones has a point

That wasn't a long conversation, like, that woulda taken an hour for me how does the mother do that?

Ah, ye olde fart joke

Bitch number one pulling the "I have lots of money" card

So they're putting cheekbones and Zoe together. I mean I can live with that

Oh my god cheekbones don't be such an arse

You'd think the mother would have worried if her other daughter didn't turn up the the pier where they agreed to meet?

Let's read mum's old diary! That can never go wrong!

They're literally stalking hot Marcus? Thats a?? Wee bit weird???

They're actually letting Mia go on Raven? Wow

Bob is kinda cute actually

I mean... she kinda deserved to fall not gonna lie

Bet Zoe is gonna make the magazine cover. Would serve Mia right lmao

Ok that's kinda cute, cheekbones. At least we know you're human

Wait what? Is cheekbone's name Pin?

WHAT SORT OF A NAME IS PIN?!

And the mother doesn't want the daughter to be riding. That makes a lot of sense. Totally.

Did she even peel those carrots?

Why has no one noticed she's wearing someone else's hoodie?

THANK YOOOOU

Oh shit, cheekbones is stealing the sedatives. No one saw that coming

Ep3:

K but she didn't say you couldn't go to the stables?

Rosie is honestly brilliant

Grandpa and I are on the same wavelength

Pin cam - idk man surely you could just... talk to him?

How could Marcus tell it was too small?? He wasn't looking at her???

Oh my god. Tie up your hair

Of course she's a prodigy, why wouldn't she be

They actually have a secret hip hop dance routine?? I wanna see that not gonna lie

The pun and finger guns have me. This kid is my new favourite character

Rosie, much though I like you, that is a total breach of privacy

Told you Pin cam would backfire

Now Marcus is going to find out about her "recording him"

It's only £10? I wanna go to pony camp.

Bet cheekbones is gonna go into where she just went

Called it

There must be a more subtle way to break into the medicine cabinet than with a screwdriver?

He's obviously not a horse thief? Medicine thief sure, horse thief nah

And I suppose that's Raven telling her it wasn't him, because that makes perfect sense

Ugh Mia calm down

Tbh maybe the parents would be better off separated? But like idk

It's the police, for why

Of course it was firefly that got stolen. I kinda feel for Mia and her bad acting.

Ep4:

How come is Pin allowed to come back even though he was stealing sedatives? That's still kinda illegal?

You're not banned from the stables though, are you Zoe

Rosie you sarcastic legend

She has a point though, what if she breaks her leg

Why is everyone attracted to Marcus?

Puns

Oh look, it pin

.....why do I dress the same way as Pin?

Who in their right mind needs three horses?

Pin is ignoring her - quite right honestly

Ah yes, subtly eavesdropping

I bet Elliot isn't even E

Ben is great

Ben and Rosie are in love. I've decided.

If course Pin is leading the hack

Mr Cheekbones! That's totally who he is! I called it!

He clearly doesn't want to talk, like... maybe let Pin get over the whole getting arrested thing? Idk

Why Becky? I don't understand?

Ah yes, follow the broody horse guy who was stealing sedatives, that can't possibly go wrong and is obviously the best option

Wait so Zoe followed Pin to his house and is now demanding he tells her what he has in the weird crate thing? Wow

And it's a horse. Wow. It's not like this is a horse show or anything

Called it, not a horse thief

Pin’s actually kinda sweet

Wait

Am I attracted to Pin?

I think I'm attracted to Pin

Shit

Decent cinematography there though

Ghost pony is a brilliant story

Wow Mia is such a dick

Now, this can go one of two ways. And I confidently predict Mia is gonna tell Zoe's mum she's not allowed to ride

Called it

Ep5:

Well the riding crop thing Is obviously the mother's

Oh yeah, Marcus is a character

How did anyone actually get close enough to Raven to braid his tail?

Savaaaaaaage

Ugh "like electricity" ughhh

What happened to Rosie?

Grandpa is brilliant and I love him

Why would fixing a radio make it up to Pin? I don't understand?

Those leather trousers though....

They're actually kinda cute together.... what is this

I ship it?

I still find Pin vaguely attractive and idk why

Oh hey Marcus, you're here as Love Interest #2

Oh no, I feel a bit bad for Rosie, I hope she doesn't get bullied

I'm emotionally attached

What is this

Why am I hooked on this television programme

Why

She can't seriously be intending to stay the whole night in the hay? It gets cold at night how're they gonna survive?

Oh actually Rosie might do okay. Cool

Who is gonna clean up all those crisps though?

Ghost pony, again

Pebbles?! Brilliant

I love Becky.

This can not end well

Definition of me on social media

She has five horses? Who needs five horses??

It's gonna be Rosie and crew, not horse thieves

..., that was unexpected

I am also relieved to find out there is no ghost pony

Look at them, stealing the horse.

Or not

Ep6:

Oh yeah, time zones are a thing

Rosie is not a subtle eavesdropper

Ah, a horse show. Why didn't I expect that

£15,000. Enough to, say, help this stable that is running low on money which we have been repeatedly told from the first episode? Let me guess, another, rival stable always wins and there's no way they could never pull it off?

Holloway Riding School. Called it

Can Becky just give away food?

"Keeping you entertained is easy" is it though????

Mate listen to his teachings.

You need your foundations in place before you can get any good?

"Let me go over the jump" "no" *does it* "wow well done"

Ugh she's gonna ride raven

Bet it doesn't go well

That's very Rube Goldberg not gonna lie

One little ride around the paddock will hurt

There's a race? The quads are gonna win

Bob was not made for speed.

And there goes Raven

Because obviously.

Pin looks worried because he has a crush on Zoe. Obviously

And yet Marcus is gonna get all the glory

That cringey ADR

Marcus has a point though, the basics are important

We're unlocking Maggie's backstory

She can't still be upset about a horse that died over 15 years ago?

I ship Becky and Jade not gonna lie

Ugh team lists. I'm calling it Zoe will have made it on despite not even trying out

Yup.

Wait she's reserve on Raven? Why? That's not a good move?

Ep 7:

Mia is such a bitch

Ok Raven doesn't like water, and I confidently predict this is an important plot point

Ooooh Mia just got rejected

So now the Ghost Pony is Emerald

Zoe you are so naive Marcus is asking you to the dance

Becky I love you and the mystery tortilla

Mia hasn't made the cover, I can predict.

I do feel a bit bad for Mia with her not very good father who isn't really there for her

That colour of green is a really nice colour of green. It brings out Pin's eyes. Ew, stop, why am I like this

Pin stop

Is zoe about to be murdered?

I thought the ghost pony was called Pebbles?

Why has Ted suddenly warmed up to Zoe?

Unlocking Raven's backstory

Pins name is actually Peter. Huh

It's nice that the moor pony is getting better enough to eat an apple

She's not on the cover

Pin likes Zoe and I ship it

Tedward

She's on her way to Steel (lol) his heart

Perfect - let the horse who is scared of water jump the water jump what could go wrong. Throw in an inexperienced rider into the mix and it's a perfect combination.

Wait this is actually kinda sweet

A funeral for Emerald is lovely

But the name Edward begins with an E so maybe E wasn't just Emerald

You could fall. IN LOVE. WITH PIN. OH MY GOD PLS

Wait what

Why has the photographer never heard of brightfields

Mia is so stuck up but I quite like her

I definitely did not need to take a 20 minute break just trying to find out how old Freddy Carter was, jesus.

Throwing stones at the windows, teenage stereotypes

They're cute

Ah, he couldn't say Peter, hence the Pin

Oh my god heartbreaking

Now they're going to the dance. Nice one

Oh god is Mia gonna do something to sabotage Zoe and Pin?

Holy shit is Ghost Pony real?

Ep8:

I actually quite like that yellow dress, not gonna lie

I love Becky and so does Jade

It's totally a date don't lie to yourself Zoe

Mia can get tae

Pin don't listen to her

She wouldn't tell you if it wasn't true though would she, Pin you imbecile

Rosie stop sabotaging, your mother is allowed to have friends

Oh shit they were a couple

Wait

What if it turns out Pin and Zoe are siblings

Wait no I'm thinking too much into this

Pin calm it

Marcus be happy

Pin... just.........

bob wyd

They're married.

"I already did" I mean....,

How are they upset by that?

Literally just talk to each other? This would make everything so much easier?

And Raven is still scared of water. Don't blame him, honestly

Ben and Rosie are evil geniuses

Becky is adorable and thinks safety goggles would help prevent death

She also thinks carrots glow in the dark

Wait how does Maggie know about the whole boys thing

Offscreen I guess

I mean I wouldn't wear that dress, but I guess it's okay?

Rosie fixing lights is not going to end well

Yup.

Where did ted come from? How did he get there so fast?

I mean Zoe actually pulls off that dress

Has Becky been murdered?

Oh yeah, Becky has a blog

I don't necessarily understand how or why a ghost pony is scary

Oh wait it's a person

Is it the horse thieves

It is the horse thieves

Why did they wait until dark? That would have been a long time to wait to capture the horse thief

Derek is a brilliant character

Who is very obviously in love with Sam

That barn actually looks pretty good

Pin went with Mia? That's surprising

Ted and Maggie are cute

Ben and Rosie are also cute

Derek and Sam are also a little bit cute

Piiiin don't be a diiiick

Those shoes don't really go with that outfit tho...

Rosie is in the spotlight though and I'm sure she's loving it

Mia go and just stop

Ooh thunder

Marcus is following Zoe who is following Pin who is going home

Oh wait Pin and Zoe are arguing in the rain. I may not be familiar with tropes but I'm pretty sure that they're about to kiss

And they're cute and I ship them

Marcus is just casually watching around the corner. Like a stalker

Was not expecting that?

Of course this is when the horse thieves take Raven

Ok but shouting after him is hardly gonna do anything?

Ep9:

I mean... it wasn't even her horse

That's so Raven

Wait they have security camera surely the thief will be ca- oh there was a power cut

But there was a back up generator?

Wait but Zoe is supposed to ride on Raven in the show? Assuming she has to

Rosie is so extra

Oh my god just like... idk kiss

That highlight tho

"That's what I love about you" pin, do continue

Pin you genius

So now they're off to look for this horse

Why didn't they just have this chat at the stables before they left and saved time?

"If the storm comes in again turn back" so the storm is gonna come in again and one or more of them aren't gonna turn back. Ok

"I am scared of the tooth fairy! What does she need all those teeth for? What's her plan?" Same Becky

Ben and Rosie have a handshake, this is cute

What is her plan

Becky is me with every single person I have a crush on

This is a significant character development for Mia

Ok so the only group not turning back is mia, susie, and Zoe

This is not going to end well

Mia.... Zoe can't control the weather?

That recording is in no way convincing

Wait how big is this island???

Either Mia or Zoe is going to get hurt

Ghost pony?

I mean this is just a bad horror movie now

Oh shit, firefly?

And Mia got hurt. Okay.

Wait so if Mia's hurt, she can't do the show?

Wait so the dad just turned up?

I like that there has been a character development now we sorta understand Mia's actions

So Mia can't ride

Wait what

Who is this and why is she here

Why is that so ominous

Ep10:

Rosie is so done with England

Sam is being pretty chill

Oh never mind

Marcus also has a crush

Still a Pin supporter tho

Rosie is brilliant

I would wear every single outfit pin has worn this season, not gonna lie

Becky is not helpful

And a raven horseshoe? Really?

Wait... nah never mind

Wow the mystery lady from the jaguar was just suuuuper rude to pin

I'm with Ted - it's totally what he thinks

Oh shit wait is Sam a horse thief?

Oh she is! Okay

That was a twist

I did not see that one coming

Don't just ignore Pin?

So now she just tells her that Raven is still on the island? Okay

Yaaas Pin! Go with her!

What signal? You can't just say wait for my signal and then not say what the signal is?

Wait but Zoe is getting the stolen horse and can't ride

Wait pin what are you doing

Oh the horseshoe

Wait if Mia could have ridden anyway, why put Zoe on?

I get the whole sprained ankle thing but she's just doing it?

Oh look, clever parallels between Mia doing the show and Zoe escaping

But what happened to Pin

And Rosie, where is Rosie

Oh look, water

Any bets Raven overcomes his fear and makes it across

Well look at that!

Also there's pin, he looks so proud

Dereeeeeek how do you feel

Oh no, pin don't feel bad. It's only Marcus... well actually..

"Derek" "its officer wrigley" savaaaaage

Wait.... his last name is wrigley?!

Is this their secret hip hop routine?! Oh my god this is brilliant!

I'm calling it - they've won

Yeah

Everyone has just left Mia lmao

Pin didn't even ride why is he there?

SUSIE HAD A BOYFRIEND ALL ALONG

IM SHOOK

if there was a scout at the riding school, they wouldn't send a letter if they didn't let him in?

Of course he got in that just makes sense?

Why would they send him a letter telling him he didn't get in if he was scouted?? It makes no sense????

And they kissed. Wow. There was like, no build up for that, Zoe and Pin, however....

Wait so Zoe is still not interested?

And now she's going to Pin?

Throwback to the singing teapot

It Pin

Oh that was actually pretty funny? I guess? Nice one Pin

Wait what's happening

Haha Lavinia

Ah, back to old Raven/Midnight Blue i guess

What do you want her to do Pin, I don't???

Ok so this is not a satisfying ending

Pin... are you literally stealing a horse right now?

Okay this is a lovely scene and all but how realistic is this

"I won't let you" you can't stop her???

Wait what

Okay so she can stay in England or go to America

She's gonna stay

They'll get renewed for a season two and she'll stay

And fall in love with pin

Because reasons

Should I stay or should I go now

Of course Mia is gonna buy the stables.

To summarise: That wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be - I actually quite enjoyed it.

[ragnarssons]

I always got the feeling Jason wants to push the show away from "love", I don't know why, love isn't a bad thing and is what keep them alive. I know it's a show about survival but after 4 seasons fighting to survive, I also want to see them fighting to have a life. I mean, yes they love each other, they sacrifice for each other but I also want to see hope, humanity... I want to see them living a little bit more. Do you think we could see this in s5, even if it's not on a large scale?

Look it’s really been my problem for s4. I don’t know if what I was writting between s3 and s4 is still available somewhere but I had HUGE hopes of seeing the characters being hopeful and wanting to be hopeful and living. All that because JRoth said stuff like “but there’s hope this season” (lol where? When they all die on ep10 or when they all die on ep12? *shrugs*) It’s annoying to me how focused on the plot this show is. The plot isn’t everything, and the only way I’m able to love some characters on this show is because of the actors. Tbh, so many times I’m like “?? bitch I only care about Bellamy and Clarke!” (yes not even the rest of the squad) because they are THE ONLY ONES having real depths. Like, okay, Raven is amazing too, she’s amazing because she has all these badass moments - but outside these badass moments and her use TO THE PLOT, she doesn’t exist to the show. As I said, when Bellamy says that he won’t be inside the Ark she’s like “wokay cool idgaf” (and people are expecting me to relate to their friendship?) I mean, her moments with Luna were soft and cute, but also… coming from nowhere? Kinda like her moments with Murphy,,, so they’re friends now?? Let’s talk about Murphy eh “he grew so much” bitch where? In the mittle moments where he comes back for Monty? Well maybe but that’s not enough! Bellamy was treated the exact same way as them on s3 and we know what happened - it’s clear they gave extra attention to Bellamy’s journey on s4. But hey, where are the others? Monty was there, just there, being badass for the plot, pointing guns even tho he sucked at it on s1 and that’s why it was Jasper’s job (also: *puts glasses on* so Monty, what about when you killed your mother?? Will that ever be adressed? O I guess not…). But his storyline? They had plenty of times to show us Monty trying to reach Jasper (not only on eps2 and 4) but they didn’t. In the end, sure, Monty is a bad friend because he didn’t even tried to understand his bff and he was like “FOCUS JASPER WE’RE GOING TO DIIIIIIE!!!!” and that’s it. Idk even Octavia, ugh, she’s annoying but she literally had a WHOLE relationship with Monty and Jasper on s2 and… where has it vanished? Did a black-hole swallowed all the characters’ relationships before s3?? And they haven’t come back yet? Why introduce new characters when they can’t even deal with the ones they have already? Wtf talk about useless, let’s bring Ilian, aka white devil’s minion *sigh*It was one of the major critics on s3, where are the characters going, why, why are they like this, why are they traumatized all the sudden, how, wtf? Sometimes you don’t even understand why this one takes the Chip and that one, doesn’t. I’m really tired when I think about s4 and how they lost SO MANY episodes with Grounders shit stories no one gives a fuck about (and that are always focused on war because even tho Roan says “we’re not savages” hey it’s not the plot that will prove it!), and that they are STILL unable to understand that their strenght is their actors/their characters. Science/plot SUCKED this season. “aww this bunker doesn’t work” hey one episode lost on that! “aw roan is pissed” TWO episodes lost on that, “grounders politics grounders politics” i mean?? Three episodes lost on that? Fucken ep10? Ugh ep11? Ep6? Good Bellarke episode but dammit, why couldn’t they have the fucken hydrazine he?? All that to create a drama to get Clarke into a Nightblood to create a fake “mystery” around her being the Commander on ep9 (also, surviving Praimfaya yes, but it could have happened under different circumstances)? Even if their intention wasn’t to let the Sky People be able to create Nightblood for everyone, why waste A WHOLE episode on the hydrazine? So many times, these little moments were used to build Bellarke (list on ep3, clarke stressing about bellamy on eps4/5, bellarke almost confession on ep6, bunker on ep11 and the whole drama ending on their separation on ep13). Of course JRoth is going to acknowledge they’re the center of the story - FINALLY - because they’re the only ones who have been decently treated this season. Damn Anon, I’d LOVE to see these characters catch a break and try to live. It’s what I live for even tho it NEVER happens. Three months time jump? Well suck it it was still war during that one. I guess once they’ll open the Bunker doors, everything will go to shit. *sigh* It’s really something I hate about this show; it’s the imbalance that exists and literally push the characters aside for the plot. Why?? Who fucking CARES about your plot, JRoth?? We literally had a whole season of nonsense-y plotlines that ended up in them going to space- all of which was “miraculously” solved in ONE episode, because Raven is super smart. Good for her, still unlogical and annoying! You can bet yo ass that the ones in space didn’t catch any break, neither did the ones in the bunker, and s5 will be “plotplotplotplot + unexplained characters’ developments + plotplotplot + conflict out of nowhere + plotplotplot” I have literally no hope regarding that on s5. It’s sad but at least I won’t be disappointed: as I said on a previous ask, watch Monty, Harper, Murphy, Emori, being the exact same people as they were on s4 even tho it’s supposedly been 6 years (in terms of characters’ traits). The mere fact that they feel they can make a SIX YEARS (SIX TIMES more than their actual plot until now) timejump and be able to reconnect their characters from that, shows how much they don’t fucken care about their characters. You know they can’t ask their viewers to come back and watch a show about totally different characters, so yes, they will be somehow, the sames, and that’s unlogical. Everyone I saw was pumped for the time jump because of the plot, and some other people having too much expectations regarding the characters. I used to have some as well for previous seasons, and I’ve always been disappointed. We just have to accept that The 100 isn’t a show driven by its characters… *sigh* At least Bellarke is the only relationship/the only characters they really DO put work into.

[goldenlandfiascos]

yo who’s ready for that post where i finally point out how natsumi kei lowkey totally ships eva/natsuhi????

it’s probs gonna be long cause of images and just how i tend to make my posts like this dramatic and shit so OUT OF CONSIDERATION i will put it under a read more. never ask me for anything ever again.

if the read more doesn’t work on mobile then that sucks for you. blame tumblr not me.

ok so really i don’t even know how to go about starting this so let’s just jump right in with ep1 and whatnot so here: natsumi kei sure does like drawing eva touching natsuhi unnecessarily like

????

??????

tbh for the longest time i legit thought she was touching her face which i was always just like “...?? ok eva” but upon closer inspection it might just be her shoulder, i can’t tell. either way. unnecessary.

then there’s these extras in ep1

eva resting her arm against nappi’s shoulders?? again. not necessary. but natsumi kei evidently thought it was so¯\_(ツ)_/¯

there’s the face touching. basically anyway. close enough. fan is an extension of the self. we get it natsumi kei, you like them together.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE

so natsumi kei at one point drew a bunch of the characters in like kimonos and shit

but what i want to point out here is, like, you’d think she’d draw all the married couples together like she did for kyrie and rudolf

but instead OH WHAT’S THIS?? krauss and hideyoshi are together.

so, WHO HAVEN’T WE SEEN YET???? well, of course, what kind of fucking post do you think i’m making here smh

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also the picture itself kind of has a gay vibe going on but maybe that’s just me but considering it’s natsumi kei it’s not just me and that’s exactly the vibe it’s supposed to be.

let’s jump to the end of ep3 when they’re all in the fake af because bitch beato played chess boy for a fool golden land

☕️👀

anyway let’s skip to all this shit

what makes this so funny is literally so much shit happened in such a short span of time but WHAT DOES BATTLER COMMENT ON IN THE NEXT PANEL??

Eva and Natsuhi. i don’t remember if it played out like that in the VN, but it does here soo. also, it’s worth noting that in the official translation he says “even aunt natsuhi and aunt eva, the eternal rivals, are holding hands here ...” which is already pretty fucking gay but here it’s “embrace”. of course i’m pretty sure he comments about this in the VN and it’s not just a natsumi kei thing but i still decided to point it out lol

BACK TO 100% NATSUMI KEI SHIT

listen, i don’t know jack shit about tarot cards but what i do know is out of context this looks

incredibly gay.

and they can be empresses together for all i care.

that is all.

Ep8

and then later

showing that one specifically you’re not fooling anyone, natsumi kei.

now, OF COURSE, all of that is just to show everyone getting along and ange’s all like “wtf this makes no sense” but considering this is natsumi kei we’re talking about is it really?

maybe. but then later on

shows a happy couple

shows

natsumi kei could’ve put different characters there but y’know. it’s natsumi kei.

BUT THAT’S NOT EVEN ALL

so krauss does show up

but natsuhi’s not even next to him LOL

BUT LOOK WHO SHE IS NEXT TO NATSUMI KEI IS2G

so let’s start wrapping this up. i’ve mentioned this before, but let’s jump to the hide and seek chapter where natsuhi hides in a closet, which first off is totally not subtle at all but OK, and eva just knows she’s in there???? like

also it’s sort of implied they don’t know beato, or anyone else for that matter, is in there either at first. which means eva thinks it’s just natsuhi. in the closet. there’s not a doubt in her mind.

that is the face of an all knowing woman.

more physical contact just to add it to the collection.

FINALLY

so, bear in mind i’m not fluent in japanese at all but i do know one thing and that’s that, um, on natsumi kei’s website at one point

that’s one way to write their name when generally referring to them as a ship. it doesn’t have to be but it usually is i would know. coincidence? i think not.

SO YEAH, NATSUMI KEI TOTALLY SHIPS IT.

REMEMBER KIDS, THIS PIC I MADE OF THEM IS TECHNICALLY CANON

[sg2tiger]

I’ve been planning to make this post for some time, but wanted to reread the scene in question first before I did it.

Basically, I have a lot of problems with the idea that the same incident took place, and pretty much in the same way, in Lion’s world as it did in Prime.

First let’s take a basic look at the events as they happen in Prime.

-Beatrice sends letter saying ‘solve epitaph or else’ -Against all expectations, the adults do band together and solve it -Adults get to the chapel, do the thing, and find the gold -[theatre segment*] -'Beatrice' appears in the gold room and explains her 'game' - this includes telling the adults the gold belongs to them, showing them the rifles and bullets piled on the table, explaining the bomb, and providing the cash card (in that order) -The adults begin to argue over how to split the gold and the cash on the card - TL;DR converting gold to cash isn't easy without connections and it is said that Krauss is the only one here with such connections, so without his help the siblings are basically reliant only on the cash on the card (important) -Violence breaks out, Eva accidentally shoots Natsuhi; Hideyoshi accidentally shoots Krauss -Rosa and Eva argue over covering up the murders; Rosa doesn't want to play along with Eva because she gains nothing by blowing up the island and losing all the gold -Kyrie shoots Rosa, the only one who hadn't yet fired her gun -Kyrie shoots Hideyoshi, Eva, and 'Beatrice'; their plan is to use the bomb to blow away all traces of the murders and escape with only the cash card -Not wanting anyone to make a fuss about missing people for the next 24 hours, Kyrie and Rudolf begin to massacre everyone else on the island

What happens after this part is unimportant, since the issue regarding Lion's world only goes as far as 'Kyrie kills everyone'.

*Theatre Segment: Unlike most 'games' that typically go on pause during meta scenes, the show of Prime that Ange and Lion are watching seems more like a movie that doesn't stop playing in the background while our lens switches to them. There are a few gaps here and there that indicate this, and as a result we don't actually get to see how much happens between the adults entering the gold room and Beatrice appearing. HOWEVER - at this point, Lion is still being optimistic because Clair appeared on stage, and believes this will be a game without any crime since Clair already cleared all her regrets away. That tells me that, before Beatrice shows up, the adults probably hadn't yet begun to bicker over the gold, or Lion might not be able to be quite so positive about the outcome of this 'game'.

Now, let's compare this to what we know about Lion's world.

From the screencaps I posted above, we see that the adults still had their usual arguments during the family conference concerning the inheritance and headship. Unlike Yasu's world, however (where Kinzo is dead and 'Beatrice' sends a mysterious letter), this world has a clear successor already chosen by Kinzo (alive) himself - Lion. But we're told that the adults don't all agree with this decision, and even Krauss believes he's still too young (about to turn 20). So Kinzo, realizing his shit-ass kids will never be satisfied, proposes the epitaph riddle he thought up long ago (evidenced by the complex epitaph device that had to have been built when the mansion was first constructed). He doesn't think anyone can solve it, of course, but it's one of his classic Kinzo-style bets to risk everything on anyway.

And just like in Prime, the adults manage to band together, solve the epitaph, and discover the gold. So far, so good.

The problem is that Bern says:

"After that, everything happened exactly like the truth you just saw. The siblings solved it right away, and there was a quarrel over the pile of gold. Then, Kyrie and Rudolf decided to prevent any chance of the crime being discovered the next morning and an outcry being raised, they carried out the late night murders [sic]."

There's a bit of a gap here, isn't there? We go from 'the adults quarrel over the gold' to 'Kyrie and Rudolf decide to hide the crime'. What crime? Well, Bern says it's exactly the same as the truth about Prime they just saw. Except...that doesn't make any sense.

There’s nothing wrong with the idea of the adults quarreling over the gold, of course. The basic facts of Prime are all still true in Lion’s world, including that the adults all NEEDED A LOT OF MONEY RIGHT NOW. There’s also the usual Krauss vs. The Other Three mentality, where Krauss/Natsuhi believe the gold is theirs by right because they live here (and in Lion’s world, since Kinzo’s still alive, Natsuhi arguing that the gold still belongs to Kinzo would hold more weight; also I can see Krauss backpedaling once the gold is found and agreeing that his son should be the successor because Kinzo already decided it). The other siblings, of course, will argue that since Krauss alone didn’t solve the epitaph, he has no more right to the gold than them, and it should be split among the siblings. This arguing would probably still come to blows...

...but there’s an important factor that should be missing, here, to prevent it from escalating beyond a fist fight. That being, it was Yasu who provided the guns and bullets and brought them down into the gold room ahead of time as part of her game.

“B-but Kinzo could have done this!!”, you argue, “they were his guns in the first place!!” 

Okay, but would he? Let’s think about the Kinzo we know. And I don’t wanna hear no ‘b-but he’s dead in almost all the games we don’t know what he was really like’ bullshit, because the Alive Lion’s World Kinzo in EP7 + memories of the Alive Kinzo and testimonies from literally everyone indicate clearly that the Kinzo illusion we know from previous games is accurate to what he was really like. It’s also said in EP5 that pieces cannot act in a way that goes against their true personality, and there’s nothing indicating this should be any different for the dead, so...the Kinzo we think we know = the real Kinzo. 

That Kinzo we know is a mad lunatic who had built up the family and fortune with insane schemes and bets all his life. Proposing an ‘impossible’ epitaph to his children is just another one of those bets...he’s confident that they will not solve it, and thus Lion’s future as the head of the family is secured. But knowing Kinzo...if they did, by some miracle, manage to solve it? Then that just means he lost. The miracle slipped through his fingers, and their magic ended up being stronger than his. He’d concede the gold to his shitty kids, and probably the headship, too. He’d laugh madly about how he failed Beatrice again by failing to make her true child the successor. And I almost feel like, under that madness, he might even be a bit relieved for Lion’s sake - after all, Kinzo knows what it was like to have the headship forced on himself against his will. Lion doesn’t really seem like he objects to becoming the head (he’s got that very dignified Natsuhi-esque personality about the family honor and all), but I can see Kinzo saying ‘oh well, go live life and be free, Lion’ if the adults solved it. ‘A bet’s a bet’, and Kinzo bet the gold and the headship on the adults not being able to solve the epitaph. It’s his loss - and Kinzo just isn’t the type who would take back a bet like that and make his ‘magic’ meaningless, IMO.

Kinzo also proposed the epitaph on a whim at the conference as the adults were arguing...and had no reason to believe or hope that they would solve it (whereas Yasu set up her game a few days in advance and had many contingency plans, and did in fact hope they would solve the epitaph and stop her). Would Kinzo honestly pull out his old gun collection and a bunch of bullets, then bring them down into the gold room just in case the adults did something he wholeheartedly didn’t expect them to do? I highly doubt it.

Without the guns there, the violence would never have escalated to the point of someone getting accidentally shot (obviously). And as we can see here, the fact that we already had at least one accidental death was what ultimately sealed the deal on them being able to kill everyone. No guns, no accidental deaths...no massacre. 

So even if the adults left the gold room and still had greed and murder on their minds (say something like Eva and Rosa in EP3, who leave the room and plan to tell the others and decide what to do later...but Eva grows increasingly paranoid and is driven to kill), and manage to get up to Kinzo’s study (much harder to do in this world since he’s alive mind you, and the adults are all kinda fucking terrified of him) and grab the guns for themselves, the ‘conditions’ that lead to Kyrie shooting Rosa in the first place would be absent.

“But what if they had something on hand they could stab with?”, you might say. “Rosa stabs a goat in EP2 with a fountain pen, and the women could have had their purses on them with something sharper, like a letter opener.”

Okay, sure. Let’s say that, as the argument gets more and more heated, Eva grabs a letter opener from her purse. Natsuhi jumps at her...and just like her finger reflexively slipped on the trigger, she instinctively reacts and stabs Natsuhi in the neck. Natsuhi falls dead. Krauss flies into a rage and charges at Eva, planning to strangle her with his bare hands. This might be possible, as he is a large man and Eva is a slender woman, but Eva is also a martial arts expert and would likely be able to defend herself much more easily against an unarmed Krauss. Hideyoshi would probably, just like Prime, also jump in to shield his wife. The two men would struggle...but how far would they really get before someone broke them apart? Without a gun in the mix making people less eager to jump in, I feel like a scuffle like this would probably not actually lead to one of the men strangling the other.

“But what if Kyrie also had a letter opener--”

Okay, this is just getting silly. The reason the massacre was able to happen so easily in that room is because two people were already dead and Kyrie had a gun she was skilled at reloading while the others were not. Kyrie was able to shoot before anyone else could reload and shoot back. Without guns, how likely do you think it would really be for Kyrie to stab the other four (Eva, Hideyoshi, Rosa, Krauss)? Could Kyrie easily overpower grown men like Hideyoshi and Krauss with just a letter opener? Okay, she hands it to Rudolf - could even Rudolf tackle two men at once + a martial arts expert? 

Stabbing one person to death is one thing, but being able to take out everyone else in that gold room without them A) fighting back or B) fleeing to get help is virtually impossible, even for people like Rudolf and Kyrie. In short, without the guns, this situation could not escalate in the same way it did in Prime. At most you’d have one person getting killed in a crime of passion, like a stabbing or strangulation...but it wouldn’t get beyond that level before someone managed to go alert the rest of the family and measures could be taken to restrain the accidental murderer. 

“But would they really go get the others and bring them to the crime scene where they’d see the gold?”

In that example it’d still a majority of people trying to hold the would-be killers at bay, as mentioned above. Alternatively someone could still summon at the very least Kinzo or Genji, both who already knew about the gold (I don’t think anyone would question that Genji would know about Kinzo’s gold honestly). No matter what example you think of, there’s simply no way any massacre is going to kick off without those guns.

"But even without killing anyone beforehand, there’s still the bomb, right?”

Oh, of course. The bomb obviously still exists in Lion’s world. Yasu tells us that it was Kinzo who set it up, after all, and the 900 tons of explosives from WWII would still be on the island.

But again, there are some factors present in Prime regarding the bomb that should not exist in Lion’s world.

First of all, Yasu is the one who explains the device to begin with. Without her there pointing it out to them, surely it would be ignored because it’s literally just a grandfather clock. It’s just another fancy fixture decorating the already-opulent room.

Now, it’s worth noting that Kyrie does mention, when ‘Beatrice’ explains the device, that the epitaph reads more literally like a serial murder and that ‘none shall be left alive’ would indicate some kind of massive accident enough to take out the rest. However, even Kyrie doesn’t have magical Scooby Doo deduction powers to where I think she’d make the clock = bomb connection without the puzzle pieces clicking into place, first. In which case, it’s ‘Beatrice’ saying ‘I was going to use these guns and commit a 13-person serial murder’ that made her connect it to the epitaph, and think more deeply about the ‘none shall be left alive’ part of it. Without someone coming along and saying that they were going to follow a literal interpretation of the epitaph, I don’t feel as though Kyrie would start to analyze it in a literal way - after all, they already solved it on a metaphorical level, where the ‘sacrifices’ and ‘none shall be left alive’ were referring to the device at the chapel. The fact that it reads like a creepy murder ceremony was just a Kinzo-like decoration to conceal its true meaning. Without Yasu actually saying that she was going to also take it literally, I don’t think that Kyrie would look at that clock and make the supposition that it could be connected to a bomb...especially since the other adults even only vaguely seem aware of ‘rumors’ (not even confirmation) that Rokkenjima was once a military base. It would seem as though even the siblings were never privy to the true history of their long-time home.

There’s also the fact that the explosives are more than 40 years old. Don’t forget that the entire reason Yasu blew up the reef with the shrine was to test the explosives first and ensure they still worked. In Lion’s world, that shrine would still exist...and no one would have actually tested the explosives. Not even Kinzo, who we’re told would probably come down here and think about things with the bomb set to ‘on’ because he is fucking crazy. So even if the adults did somehow magically guess that the clock was a bomb...they’d be dubious as to whether the explosives even still worked. Of course, they’d still have a 50/50 shot by flipping the switch to find out, but would Rudolf and Kyrie really risk committing a mass-murder on a ‘maybe’? The only way to find out if the bomb worked or not would be to set the switch and get as fucking far away as possible...imagine killing everyone on the island only to find out the bombs were a dud after all. Whoops. Pretty sure you’re not gonna get away from the police for this one, even if you change your names and leave the country (and if you did that, I don’t think the yen on the cash card would do you too good). It’s simply not worth the risk without a guarantee that the explosives work - and Yasu blowing up the shrine was that guarantee. It was an immediately visible image to all the adults in that room that the explosives did work, and that 900 tons of them would wipe out the entire island. A world without Yasu means a world without that guarantee...and a world in which mass-murder would simply not be worth the risk.

So Lion’s world has no guns, and no bomb. Rudolf and Kyrie aren’t just evil psychopaths - they are cold and calculating, both experienced with business and dirty deeds. They’re not so stupid that they’d start killing everyone without a surefire way to hide the evidence. You’d have two people trying to get away with killing 15 others without guns, first of all - and I don’t think even the biggest knives in Gohda’s kitchen are gonna let you do that without some painful screaming alerting the others before you get too far. Furthermore, you don’t have a magical switch that’ll blow the evidence sky high to cover up your tracks. But if even that’s not enough to convince you, there’s one more thing that absolutely guarantees Kyrie and Rudolf would have no reason to murder:

The cash card does not exist in Lion’s world.

Yasu converted that gold to cash. She did this in advance, knowing already that she was going to be making a game of this. She even sent out the pin number to the relatives who would survive the family members in the event that no one solved the epitaph and everyone died. This was pre-planned by the mastermind who was going to commit the serial murders. Yasu. Yasu Yasu Yasu.

Again, Kinzo proposing the epitaph was something he did on a whim. He invented the epitaph years ago, and it was easy for him to just say ‘okay if you don’t like my decision what about this’ and whip it out for them to solve. But if they solved it? All they’d get was gold. Kinzo didn’t convert any of his gold to cash and plan to give the pin number to his shitty kids. And as I said above, it’s pointed out that Krauss is the only one of the adults with the connections to convert that unmarked, illegal gold into cash. The way that scene tells it, no one else in the room can argue with Krauss when he mentions this. So no matter how many shady types Rudolf and Kyrie know (and I’m sure there are many), even they, apparently, do not have any easy contacts that would be able to convert this gold to cash.

I wouldn’t put it past the two of them to find those connections, though. They could do it. Except, oh wait, their entire plan hinged on blowing up the island and the gold with it. Without a cash card, literally all they have is a mountain of gold sitting on Rokkenjima. They could make like EP2 Rosa and try to escape with an ingot or two, but would they really blow away the rest of that money? And it’s not even like they could kill everyone and come back for the rest later!! You’d be hiring a crane or something to come haul it away for you...even with illegal connections, it’s probably not gonna be easy to convince someone to come to an island full of corpses and do this for you. They see those corpses, and they see that pile of gold? They’re gonna try to milk at least half of it from you to ‘buy their silence’. And can you really trust that this person isn’t gonna spill the beans even if you give it to them? Okay, so track him down and kill him, too. Just keep racking up the bodies. Not like that is ever gonna be traced back to you. I’m sorry, but all the yakuza connections in the world do not make me buy this as something they could realistically transport off the island without things getting even more messy.

So let’s review. Lion’s world has:

-No guns in the gold room -No one to explain the bomb -No proof that the explosives still even work -No means of hiding the evidence of a massacre -No cash card -No easy way of leaving the island with the gold

??????????????????????????????????????????????????

And Bern expects me to believe that Lion is stuck in a dead end of fate where even he gets shot to death by Kyrie in the parlor and caught up in a large-scale massacre? Sorry, Bernie, but I call bullshit on that one. Whether it’s your bullshit, or Ryukishi’s bullshit, it’s bullshit. Without Yasu there to provide all the necessary ‘ingredients’ that lead to the incident in the first place, it just can’t happen. 

Prove me wrong. Hint: you can’t.

duuuuude I just got round to reading your 'so lets talk about bellarke' post and I feel like you just restored all my hope in this godforsaken ship. I'm past the point of caring about half the characters and the trash plot, I just want Bellamy Blake wrapped up in a blanket in that bunker, safe and warm. Looking at the eps as past of a larger arc makes you realise that if they haven't been working towards a larger goal (bellarke or plot), it's all been a pile of shite. (Cont)

My biggest problem with S4 has been the narrative has consistently created problems for the characters.  Of course they couldn’t save the hydro-generator, of course the ark blows up, of course they lose a barrel of hydrazine, of course Abby destroys the radiation chamber, of course they secure the bunker only for Octavia to put them back down to 100 beds. They spend an episode at a time establishing the importance of one thing for survival, to have it taken away by the end of the episode. (cont)  None of these plots have contributed to them finding a way to survive, they’ve not fit together like a jigsaw, they’ve all been independent of each other. I’m hoping this turns out to be wrong vis-a-vis the lab because otherwise, plot-wise, what the heck has been the point of that whole storyline with the rocket and with the nightblood - so many wasted minutes that I think everyone would agree would have been better used developing characters (Jackson, Abby, Miller…) (cont)     Jasper’s mental health wasn’t explored nearly enough, Roan’s character was explored far too much if he was always just going to die in a conclave that ultimately didn’t mean shit (and why tf is Echo still slithering around out there?) I can’t remember half of what’s happened in S4 because its been inconsequential. Gah this was supposed to be a ‘good job on your insane analysis of the show’ ask and it’s descended into chaos, just like the series. (cont)                lol sorry so many messages I just get so wound up about it. I think maybe I just really want Clarke wrapped up in that blanket with Bellamy inside the bunker, maybe hopefully with Bellamy inside Clarke ? ? ?Rgirgugriugruigr. I’m glad my little kinda “bullshit” analysis can help, yk I’m also trying to make sense of every one of the things they’ve tried to build on this season, and that includes the “failed plans”. I do think there were too much (we geeeeet iiiiit at some point, you knooow, writers? don’t need to push ur characters to shit till two episodes before the end of the season dammit, let them breaaaaathe). I really hoped this season would be more about that, characters and them appreciating what they have (def. more of the Jasper’s vision actually (and more “main characters” leaning towards that… I guess we’re already lucky to have some?). I’ve made several rants about too many plots this season, especially about the Grounders (wth, eps4 and 5 make ZERO sense to me now in terms of the general narrative of this season, for example; that’s why I literally CAN’T SEE what was the point of that, other than showing Bellarke to us, and what Clarke is willing to do for Bellamy (yeah yeah there was Kane around here too, but remember the camera work? LOL, talk about obvious)). I do think the hydrazine will come to play later since the rocket isn’t a “really” failed plan yet… and the bunker on ep3 kinda connects with the “new bunker”. I guess we’ll have to see what they do with the time they have left. I DEFINATELY can see what they could have NOT included this season, and I know what I wanted and DIDN’T HAVE (you know… radiations?????)I do think too many people watch a tv show and separate each season, while it’s NOT the story the writers tell. It’s a continuity, the story has to be seen as a whole. Ultimately, s4 and its characters and the things developped in it, don’t stand alone. They are what follows s1, 2 and 3. What this season lacks, there is more on s1 for example, what we want can happen next season and all. I won’t judge a tv show until it’s truly over, and I won’t doom Bellarke until the relationship/the show is over. Let’s remember that on The 100 the narrative still takes place on a very short time; Jasper committed suicide 2 months after his first attempt tbh, and that IS realistic. The whole s4 happens over 3 months, and it’s clear that they wanted to make us feel a sense of urgency. It didn’t catch for me, I wanted more than that, but that doesn’t mean I feel disconnected from the story or the characters yet, unlike it happens on other tv shows that I drop because I don’t care anymore, yk? Anyway, thanks for the message, I really hope this show learns with time to rely more on its characters than its plot. Bellamy, Clarke, Raven, Monty, even Octavia- Bob, Eliza, Lindsey, Chris, Marie; Bellarke, Clarke/Raven, Bellamy/Raven, Monty/Clarke, Monty/Bellamy, the Blakes n all- THE DELINQUENTS ARE this show’s strenght way more than the plots to my taste...
