I did the SPECIAL stats! Oh, for Fallout initiates:





I used the New Vegas model for this, because you get literally twice as many SPECIAL points and also they got rid of skills and traits in Fallout 4.
So without further ado
RAPH
Obviously, our boy's gonna top out on Strength. I tagged Melee and Unarmed for obvious reasons, and Survival because of that one episode. No, actually, while in-game Survival is mainly used as a cooking skill I do feel like Raph would be good at camping, mending, all that outdoorsy stuff. If, you know, you got him away from New York long enough. The biggest danger would come from him not knowing what's safe to eat and erring on the side of 'shove this delicious-looking berry into my mouth.'
And Hot Blooded I felt was a good parallel to his savage mode.
LEO
I made the decision not to top out any of Leo's skills because 1) he is so across-the-board powerful, and 2) he has a very lethal case of Dumbass. I waffled a bit on not making Charisma his highest skill, but I wanted to showcase how Leo's main talent lies in his smarts and wit. But still not at 10 because dumbass.
I mentioned in doth that Leo was crafted for agility, and while he definitely was I think Draxum's main intention with him was versatility. He's an all-around great fighter, but not particularly strong or defensive, and Donnie was likely meant to be the sneaky agile one. Leo was an all-rounder. And he gets Small Frame because my boy your arms look deflated.
And Skilled because again, Leo is a dumbass. Very smart but slow to catch on where he's not smart.
DONNIE
My man is fucking jacked. Okay, I don't care what the writers said about Donnie being the weakest, man is second to Raph unless Mikey is being magical about it. Intelligence topped out, obviously, Perception is high but not quite as high as Leo's because he's a moron. Energy Weapons because I feel like Donnie would enjoy a laser gun.
Four Eyes because of the glasses he's pictured with as a kid. And Built To Destroy because he's Donnie.
(I've mentioned that Bella has a Charisma of 2. Donnie gets one more because he's the funny one)
MIKEY
Mikey actually gave me the most trouble. I knew I was going to top out his Endurance, but the rest? I felt like I was undercutting everything but I only had 40 points to allocate. I tagged Explosives and Lockpick because-well, I just felt like he would like that.
Debated on Small Frame, felt like that kind of went against his whole defensive specialty, but I couldn't pass up the Agility boost.
I considered doing April but she'd be 10s across the board.
I might do a level-up later to give them some perks, we'll see.

kyle: no but i mean--NO, hold on--
cartman: and--and this is not the way to talk to someone--
kyle: hold on, i've known you for YEARS and like--this didn't start with like "ohhh, you're going to die!" like...i've like WATCHED you lose teeth, you know, be bedridden...
cartman: that has NOTHING TO DO with having a fucking--that has nothing to do with fucking being fat, dude, losing teeth, are you kidding me?! it's a completely different dental thing! you also literally don't know how to fucking talk to anybody, it is not helpful the way you speak to me in ANY--like, you're not...HELPFUL, you're not fucking supportive in any way--
kyle: well, what's helpful? what's this, what's this--
cartman: sometimes you're a mean piece of SHIT and telling me i'm gonna fucking die over and over again is exactly that!
kyle: then what's like--what IS supportive, then?
cartman: uh, just fucking--what we're doing now, having a schedule so i can fucking plan my life and go to the gym and fucking eat well, that's supportive! the podcast--
kyle: no but like what's--what is the correct way to like express concern? if it's a problem where it's like my TONE is wrong, i mean i, like, sure i can EASILY change that or address it.

2024 Media: 57. Fresh Pretty Cure! (2009) - 5/10★ I loved Setsuna, Westar and Soular but I just couldn't seem to get attached to the other cures besides passion which makes the season not as enjoyable. I really enjoyed yes 5 and I think this wasn't as strong of a season imo. Still confused why the cures are named after berries and then there is 0 fruit relevance in the rest of the series?? Love and Berry's transformations didn't look amazing and some of their attacks were kinda...idk? I think a problem I had was the previous seasons had some kind of goal to reach with midway goals (reviving fountains, finding royalty etc) and this season didn't have that so at times it felt like they weren't progressing? A few eps nearly made me cry and I think Setsuna was written really well and I enjoyed a few bits here and there but this was definitely my least fave season so far (I'm sorry fresh fans) Fave episodes: 15, 16, 22-25, 40, 46, 48 Fave character: Setsuna

498. Flintstones 1994 Garbage (part 2)
(part 1)
Kids were further unimpressed with the merchandise. I'm guessing because the movie had a kid look, but adult storylines, maybe? That was Roger Ebert's cricisim of the film I remember.
Inspired by over merchandised films such as Jurassic Park, Hook, and Dick Tracy, there was about 1,000 Flintstones products licensed 3.

(eBay seller mansfieldmerchandise)


(eBay seller Pamela's Place)
Turns out there was also a non-movie Flintstones lunchbox sold like this too at Blockbuster. That thermos definitely leaked.

(eBay seller Stacked Actors Media)

(eBay seller VChoiceVintage)
So a few years back, I brought up the lunchbox in one of my first newspaper of the month series posts. Turns out there were several other ones that probably no kid carried around because like I said a few years ago, the kids had probably forgotten about Flintstones by Back to School season. They probably all wanted Lion King lunchboxes.

(eBay seller niksstuff)
Did we all have these little toothbrush n soap kits? I had Barbie and Miss Piggy. I wonder why we wanted them so bad. Was it because the tiny soap reminded us of family vacations at the ol Motel 8?

(eBay seller Tony's Clubhouse)

(eBay seller thriftskibizz)
We could've had a Flintstones party that Summer.
(Google Books, her article begins around page 36)
For some inexplicable reason, Halle Berry didn't get an action figure (maybe she was too sexy? 4), but she did wind up on the cover of Jet promoting the movie. She was one of the best parts of the movie. I like that she got away with smoking in a movie aimed for kids.
(source)
I mean, even Kyle McLaughlin got a figure.

(eBay seller stairway2sales)
Originally sold at a store called itzadeal for $3. This doesn't look fun?
(eBay seller galis-40)
Halle didn't get a figure, but Big Bite Fred did? Did he eat in the movie? I mean yeah he got the big rib put on the car at the end of the film, but that don't count!
I read somewhere that due to the giant push to get items out on time, toy designers were really working bare-bones (no pun). There were a couple of action figures that didn't have anything to do the movie. 3

(eBay seller we_sell_cheap) -- yes, note that clearance tag.
This scene did make it into the movie though. Boy that figure does NOT look like Rick, does it?

(eBay seller vilhousemanhouten)
All the Barney stuff is kinda scary! I feel like if a doll customizer tried really hard enough, they could make a OOAK Steve Carell doll out of Barney.

(eBay seller Thrift More!)
These bendable figures of any franchise were never fun, never stood up without supervision. I just noticed that Betty wore a house arrest anklet in the movie.

(eBay seller Jessica’s Little Shop of Hoarders)
This might be my favorite bit of merchandise. The doll really looks like Pebbles from the movie, and her toys look like actual props from the movie.

(eBay seller Dashboard Collectibles)
Unlike this figure. The toy designers apparently had a hard time trying to portray Elizabeth Perkins who played Wilma into a figure:
Some of the actors' likenesses proved hard to transform into playthings. Elizabeth Perkins, as Wilma, was especially difficult. "She's quite pretty, isn't she?" said C. J. Michael Hebden, Mattel's chief sculptor, holding up a photograph of the actress. "A little dodgy in a toy, though." 3

(eBay seller Retro Mediaverse)
Dino, No! That reminds me, who was stuck in the Dino costume in the episode of Full House where Michelle had a Flinststones party...it was Danny! My favorite Tanner.

(eBay seller GARBAGE ARCHIVE)
This is the one piece of Flintstones merchandise outside of RocDonalds I remember as if it was yesterday. In the Spring of 1995, I was briefly part of a cheerleading squad, and we had a car wash in front of the old Coliseum Mall. During lunch everybody took turns going into the mall, and a group of girls came back with Flintstones movie candy from Everything's a $1.00. That's where all the Flintstones merch probably ended up at, Everything's a $1.00.
Oh, I almost forgot, there was an episode of MTV's The Grind that was filmed with what appears to be set pieces from the movie.
Related Links:
Joe Ramoni's video on the movie -- that's sad that John Goodman really didn't want to be there on the set.
Dinosaur Dracula reviewed a Toys R Us Treat Box based on the film.
Hey, so I got sick of my Cricut and now I'm trying a TeePublic store for designs related to my blog entries. Garbage merch if you will.

Okay, I think I found out what lip gloss the H2O mermaids used! (Note this is my best guess after researching for several hours and is NOT CONFIRMED)
tl/dr: For Cleo in Season 3: very likely to be Lancôme Juicy Tube in the shade 17 Fraise or 19 Lychee. For Rikki in Season 1: sort of likely to be Lancôme Juicy Tube in the shade Smooth Melon (see end of post for links to available lip glosses!)
After looking through the on-set/behind the scenes gallery of the H2O fan wiki, I found two images of lip gloss being applied, but neither had any stand out/ identifying qualities or the picture was too blurry to make out the text on it.
I Looked at the video about the wardrobe and makeup on the H2O YouTube channel to see if it was any clearer, but couldn't really see anything. So as I was losing hope, I finally thought to check the credits at the end of one of the episodes, and found the following under the "Special thanks to:" section: "Make Up Supplied by Atelier Australia"
But going to the website, I didn't find any lip gloss that resembled the ones in the photos, so I thought I hit a dead end. However, in the wardrobe and makeup video, at 1:40, The makeup bag Cariba Heine holds up has the Atelier Australia logo, so this had to be it!
But after looking through the products on the website as well as earlier versions on the way-back machine, none of the lip gloss packaging matched either of the pictures. So, another dead end.
Now I had to assume that the lip gloss used was NOT from the credited makeup company and perhaps bought by the makeup artists. I had my initial thought that the lip gloss might be a Lancôme Juicy Tube, as they were super popular in the 2000s, but the packaging still didn't match very well. I finally stumbled across a makeup blog called Pink Haired Princess, and it had a page full of Juicy Tubes and their swatches. When looking at them and then comparing to the photos, I believe I've found 2 possible colors that were used for Cleo, at least for the photoshoot in season 3 that the picture comes from.


The lip gloss used in this picture/video on Cleo./Phoebe is likely a Lancôme Juicy Tube in the shade of either 17 Fraise or 19 Lychee.


As for the more peach-colored lip gloss in the hand of the makeup artist, because the cap is a solid color and not a clear, white, or silver one that Juicy Tubes have, I cannot really say what it is, unfortunately.
And for the orange-peach lip gloss used in this picture, because of the blurry text on the packaging and the look of the applicator end, it might not be a Juicy Tube gloss, but if it is, my best guess is that it's the Smooth Melon shade.

Really the only way to confirm any of this would be to contact one of the makeup artists that worked on H2O, so for now, this is the best I've got for you all.
The shades they might have used are no longer available, BUT the shade 07 Magic Spell and 10 Framboise Pop are pretty close to Cleo’s shade, and the closest match to Rikki’s shade is 09 Hallucination. All three are currently available at Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, Amazon and Lanc��me’s websites (and others).

(Some other shades that were available recently but not currently were closer to the shades in the picture. These include: 13 Raspberry Cool, 14 Radio Lychee and 15 Game Berry for Cleo, and 11 Orange Flashback for Rikki.)
i wanna know what lipgloss they use for the h2o mermaids soooo bad

Castletown Café Episode 15: S. POISON
“HEY EVERY !! IT’S ME! SPAMTON G. SPAMTON! [[Back By Popular Demand!]] WITH A [[All-New Product]]! INTRODUC1NG [[S. POTION]]. ITEM ITEM HAS THE [[SHARP TASTE OF]] AND [Fun & Games] EFF3CTS!! N0T AT ALL [[Suitable for all ages!]]”
CONTENT AND SUBSTANCE WARNING: This recipe contains alcohol, and is not suitable for anyone under the age of 21 (or anyone under the drinking age in your country). Please drink responsibly and in moderation.
S. POTION - or should I say, S. POISON, is a strange concoction of colorful squares (most likely pixels), that heals 40 HP at first....only to slowly drain away 60. It will not, however, go below 1 HP. Not an item you’d want to use in battle, or outside, for that matter. Found within Spamton’s shop, he disguises it as a healing item in order to trick you into buying poison. It doesn’t matter to Spamton what it is he’s selling, as long as he’s selling something.
With S. POISON being, well, poison, I knew that this was going to be another cocktail recipe if I was going to be making it in real life. I brainstormed a few ideas, such as using Fireball for the main spirit, but I didn’t know what else to mix it with. I knew I wanted to include blackberries from the get-go, so I eventually settled on a blackberry margarita instead of the original Fireball idea. With how strong tequila is, it was ultimately a fantastic decision.
Here in Oregon, wild blackberry vines are abundant. In fact, these weeds grow everywhere in the summer, with fresh wild berries ready to be picked and eaten either in July or August, depending on the weather we get in the spring. This year had a particularly rainy spring, so all the local crops, farmed and wild, were delayed, and less sweet from the lack of sunlight.
While fresh blackberries garnish this drink, blackberry syrup sweetens and flavors it. As much as it can, anyway, given the overpowering flavor of the tequila. I toned down the tequila in this margarita by reducing the ounces from 2 to just 1, adding a little extra lime juice, and topping it off with a splash of tonic water in order to dilute the drink just a bit. If you’re daring enough or are a huge tequila and margarita fan, you can go for a full 2 ounces, but that’s a bit much for me, especially flavor wise.
Making the syrup is the first step, and I made the blackberry syrup the same way I did the strawberry syrup in my Top Cake recipe. You’ll want to make this at least a day ahead of time so that the syrup can cool completely. Another thing you’re going to need is plenty of ice, since just like with the Battery Acid cocktail, we’ll be combining most of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shaking it to chill the drink before pouring it into a glass. Unlike our previous cocktail recipe, we’ll be serving it with more ice. If you’ve got an even grander home bar than I do, and know how to make the perfect ice cubes, then you can serve your S. POISON in true “pixelated” fashion.
Just like with lemons, fresh limes are best for cocktails as opposed to bottled lime juice. You’ll taste the difference, trust me. Now, go pick or buy yourself a good ton of blackberries, and let’s get started!
BLACKBERRY SYRUP:
2 cups fresh blackberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Equip:
Blender or food processor
Thoroughly wash your berries before pouring them into a small saucepan, especially if you picked these in the wild. Dried petals, twigs, and even bugs, may be on them, and you want to remove all of that before cooking.
Add sugar and water to the saucepan and bring your mixture to a boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Have it cook on medium heat for a few minutes, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 10.
Give your syrup a good stir and remove from heat. It’s best to let it cool just a bit before moving on to the next step.
Pour syrup into blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Pour blended syrup through a mesh strainer into a bowl and squeeze as much of the syrup out as you can, leaving most of the seeds behind (some smaller seeds may still make it in, but that’s okay). Scrape syrup off the bottom of your strainer and add to the bowl, giving your syrup another good stir.
Let your syrup cool completely before pouring into a container and storing in the refrigerator.
You’ll have plenty of fresh blackberry syrup to enjoy in ice cream, on pancakes, or in cocktails, like this week’s featured recipe.
S. POISON:
1.5 fl oz lime juice (about 1 lime)
1 oz silver tequila
1 oz triple sec
1 tablespoon blackberry syrup
A little tonic water
Ice
Fresh blackberries, about 6, for garnish
Lime wheel, for garnish
Sea salt, for garnish
Equip:
Rocks glass, for serving
Cocktail shaker
Jigger/drink measurer
Citrus hand juicer
Wash and dry lime, rinse blackberries. Cut lime in half and then cut off a wheel of lime for garnishing your glass and a slit down the center in order for it to rest on the rim. Cut a similar but much smaller slit in one blackberry as well (preferably the firmest and prettiest), then set aside.
Wet half the rim of a rocks glass and coat with sea salt. You can easily do this using your lime wheel, just be careful not to damage it.
Using a citrus juicer, squeeze out the juice of your remaining lime. If you don’t have a full 1.5 oz, you can juice another.
Add lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and blackberry syrup to cocktail shaker, add ice, cover, and shake until very cold, about 15 seconds.
Place ice in rocks glass, then the blackberries, minus the one with a small slit cut into it.
Pour margarita into prepared rocks glass, top off with tonic water and add lime wheel and blackberry for garnish. Serve or enjoy immediately.
For those of you who don’t drink or are underage, no worries. I got a safe version coming up next, without any risks or harmful effects. Stay tuned for Part 2!

pray, do tell
request: If you don’t mind me asking, request for Loki asking the other Loki’s if they have a s/o in their timeline during episode 5?
a/n: hi ! i absolutely ADORE this idea and i hope i'll write it out respectfully :)) i loved episode 5 so much, except for SOME scenes, and i especially enjoyed multiple lokis sitting around and talking, chilling, that's like... my dream place to be. YOU DON'T KNOW THE EFFECT PRESIDENT LOKI HAS ON ME. like it should be studied in labs and schools cos ??????? that feeling when he's on screen was just something else. also ! kid loki holding alligator loki my beloved <3. i'd love to be surrounded by lokis, me and loki actually have the same personality type so they're like... my people. sorry for the rant, hahah ! this one is a bit shorter than my other loki works, sorry about that :/ also it took me like 40 minutes to find decent gifs lmao. happy reading !! <3
masterlist
mcu masterlist
warnings: nothing really
disclaimer: lokis mentioned have he/him pronouns !
Weirded out by what he's seeing, and not entirely sure it's real, Loki can't take his eyes off it, either. The way alligator Loki drinks his boxed wine is just so fascinating to him, yet weird and other-wordly (he knows those well) at the same time. And he's weirded out more by the fact that he doesn't find a variant of him being an alligator strange in any way. He's had a few trying days, as he said himself.
Loki manages to divert his eyes off the creature with horns on its head and looks to the grapes he holds in his hand. He picks small dirt away from the berries and takes a grape into his mouth with ease. The taste reminds him of many things. His childhood, his home, his family... Thor, Frigga, Odin, Sif and the Warriors Three. Asgard. The Gardens, the waters, the Bifrost. Heimdall. Visits to the city, the markets, the celebrations.
Love.
Loki blinks, fooling himself and others by aiming to portray that he's not thinking about anything important. But he is. She was the most important thing to him, and now... Well, maybe during the New York heist, she's still fine, but after Ragnarok... Loki fears too much to think about it.
He wishes he could remember everything with her that followed New York, but all he has of their future is some worn-out tape in the TVA archives. Perhaps even pictures... He wants to live through all they had now, he wishes he could do that most of all. Of course, there's the finding Mobius and helping Sylvie burn down the TVA thing, but upon remembering her, it all falls into the background.
His first love. Not a god, like him, but she was a goddess in his eyes. He smiles now, subtly, at the fond memories of her. He noticed the little moments he had with her in the tape Mobius had, about his whole future. How beautiful she always was, her subtle way of laughing and going about her smiles and giggles, how exceptional and different her clothes always were, how her hair shined in any light...
“Did any of you...” Loki starts to say, and sighs shortly before continuing, thinking he'll probably regret asking it, “did any of you leave a... a lover behind when the TVA arrested you? Prince or princess?” He looks between his variants. Young Loki shoots him a stern look. “Apologies, my liege. You seem too young for that.” Loki bids him a polite smile, but his brain whirs. “How long have you been here, anyway?”
“Don't know. Time doesn't really... exist here.” Young Loki says and throws a salt biscuit into alligator Loki's jaws. “But no lovers in my lifetime, Loki.” He pointedly looks at the older variant of himself, nodding slightly.
“Not yet, at least.” Loki points out and gets scoffs and chuckles from Boastful and Classic Loki. He looks at them with a furrowed brow.
“Oh, you and your grand plan,” Classic Loki shakes his head before taking another sip from his huge cup. Loki only rolls his eyes, but still waits for answers to his question, “well,” Classic Loki downs his drink, “it would be no surprise to you that I had countless partners before I chose isolation. Partners of any kind.” He winks. Loki nods, understanding how much alike he truly is with his variants. “But I feel there is no one truly... truly made for me. Like midgardians would say - 'the one'.“
“In my case, there were many 'the ones',” Boastful Loki says, mocking Classic's use of words. All other Lokis roll their eyes, “I actually feel like every person in the whole universe was made to be with me. I'm just that irresistible.” He smiles pleasantly to himself. Alligator Loki growls again.
“That's another “liar” from him to you, Boast,” Classic Loki nods his head towards Boastful, who only shakes his head and frowns.
“I had my fair share of men and women before I was taken,” Boastful says, “must have been the same for you, Loki.” He looks at him. “Asgard was truly a giving place.”
Loki chuckles, but looks away from his variants. “Oh, it was...” he says quietly, “it was.” His voice grows even more quiet. Young and Classic Loki exchange a look.
“Do tell us, your mischievousness.” Classic Loki urges him. Loki shoots him a nervous look, then he leans back into the sofa and sighs, his eyes strictly focused on his hands.
“I had plenty before I met... one,” he starts to say, “me and her share a past, and, it seems, a future as well. After New York, I am taken to Asgard, imprisoned, but she is there. I fake my death and rule over Asgard as Odin, and she's there. I help Thor destroy our evil sister--”
“Oh, she was a nasty one.” Boastful says, shaking his head. “We used to have a connection, but then she just... I don't even know.” He shrugs. Loki eyes him for a second before continuing.
“We destroyed Asgard, but saved its people, and saved her. We make for Midgard, and she's there with me.” Loki sighs, his eyes gloomy. “And then... Thanos attacks, destroys half, if not all our people, and...” he can't even speak further. His variants share a look, each having quite the correct guess for what could follow after that. Boastful drinks from his cup in an awkward manner. “But I feel like that's another life I lived. Or another me. I don't know, I feel so... disconnected from her, from what we had. Must be the TVA and this... void. And all that's happened, all I've learned about my future.” He sighs again.
“Meeting her again would be a wake-up call, no?” Boastful asks. Loki shrugs, a sad expression on his face.
“Rather a sign that you're real.” Classic Loki says with a wide, true smile. Loki looks to him as if looking at a mentor. “I often felt like the people I loved and the love I had for them, even if it was not reciprocated, were a reminder that I am real, I exist and I can feel all these things.”
Loki considers his words, and then nods along, finding a truth in them.
“After all, love and all other emotions are the human part in all of us.” Classic says. “And it isn't always bad to feel like a regular human being.” Loki can also find truth in those words. Love makes one feel alive, makes you feel like you're on the right path, found the right person, found your purpose. It doesn't always have to be glorious, it can be small, but nonetheless important to you.
“I used to think humans smaller than us, more pathetic and puny, but...” Loki shakes his head, “we, gods, are just the same, really.” He chuckles sadly. “Having quarrels over the stupidest things, being as imperfect as humans... Sometimes I even felt like I was too good, too perfect for something like true love, which is a pathetic emotion that makes you feel all kinds of other feelings, but...” he smiles, “often times I felt like that, she told me everyone was deserving of love, even me.” His smile grows wider.
“She sounds lovely.” Classic Loki tells him with a kind smile.
“She was that, and more.” Loki nods along. Young Loki imitates the sound of a snore and throws a crumpled piece of paper at Loki's shoulder.
“You're making me extremely bored.” He announces and sits straighter in his chair, looking over the mess that is his palace. “Love's boring.” Young Loki throws a juice carton across the room, making a face.
“You are just too young to understand and know it, your majesty.” Boastful says with a wink, and the next juice carton is flying over his head with a snicker from Young Loki. Classic Loki keeps Boastful tight in his seat so an argument wouldn't arise, and Boastful hesitantly restrains, his drink almost spilling over his cup. Loki watches them with a sappy smile on his features, and decides this is a good place to spend eternity at, even without her.

do you agree or disagree
there are so many factors at play here but i’m going to have to agree. i can tell they’re doing this in a haha i hate film bros kind of way but i think they’re objectively right. i’m not really good at media analysis so at the risk of sounding like those people on tik tok trying to predict the plot of euphoria season 2, here are some of my thoughts
for one thing, the ability to rewatch a show is important to me.
glee is extremely rewatchable, however i will skip seasons 4&5 every time because they came from the most diabolical crevices of ryan murphy’s mind. there are story lines i’ve forgotten about or jokes i didn’t remember that entertain me in new ways every time i watch. i watch it in order because it makes the most sense to do so and just enjoy myself along the way.
breaking bad is good, but is not as rewatchable to me. i’ve tried to rewatch it but end up getting bored because i already know what happens. while there are great moments, i find myself just looking forward to those moments when i’m watching rather than unexpected moments in between. i like watching videos that analyze themes or characters in the show and give me new perspective on what i’ve already seen, or i’ll go back and watch specific episodes, but i don’t feel the need to rewatch each episode in serial fashion. i rewatch the fly episode specifically—it’s literally just walt trying to kill a fly in the meth lab for 40 minutes. that’s it. there’s some symbolism there but objectively it’s absurd and that’s what i love about it.
sue sylvester is reason enough to make it a better show overall.
there’s so much lore to come out of glee and things people STILL talk about. the amount of horrible musical numbers. the great musical numbers (smooth criminal, bohemian rhapsody with cuts to quinn in labor [iconic decision to do that and i still think about it], rose’s turn, and a lot more). lea michele allegedly not being able to read. there basically being no difference between lea michele and rachel berry. matthew morrison. need i say more.
i love breaking bad. i love the story it told, i love jesse pinkman and i would fight anyone for him, i love that bryan cranston can play the dad from malcolm in the middle and walter white and be amazing at both, i love the absurdity mixed with very serious dark themes. however, it can be a lot to take in too. it can be really violent out of nowhere. you get used to it after awhile but if you really can’t stand that kind of stuff, don’t watch it.
people make shitposts about breaking bad but those usually come with some creativity from the shitposter. glee is 6 seasons of pure shitpost.
also mike’s mic has an amazing analysis of glee (and is working on part 2). does he have a breaking bad analysis. no.
while breaking bad will be famous for objectively amazing acting and telling a great story, glee was an absolute cultural phenomenon. it’s a comedy, it’s a melodrama, it’s an absolute shitshow. i relate way more to people who watch glee than people who watch breaking bad because those people are usually obsessed with pop culture and enjoy things that are cringey and occasionally just plain garbage.
i don’t think you wanted this long of an answer but i felt like writing something long and stupid. so here you go!

Nico walked over to the hades table. The new tables made were on the far left of the dining pavilion- away from the apollo cabin table . He could see William Giggle and talk about on his table but they had later made a plan force chiron to allow Nico permission to sit on the apollo table.
The plan was not a fair one, but Nico decided that he had gone through enough to atleast enjoy sitting with his boyfriend at dinner .
He carried his plate of sandwiches and berries to the hades table and started muching. Making his face expressionless and dull. He kept his eyes downcast and didn't lift his head up when Sherman yang fell face first . It was hard not to smirk.
He started at the ground and concentrated.
Bones
Bones
Bones
So many bones buried under the dining pavilion. Maybe beacuse of a old war.
He ordered six of them to emerge. Femours and skulls joined and the ground erupted. He looked up with a horrified expression.
Chiron snapped his head towards nico and then galloped away to check on a ten year old from the aphrodite table who was very terrified of skeletons.
Will made his way towards the hades cabin and brought out a notepad.
He scribbled something in his shitty handwriting.
Name-Nico.
Age-15
Child of -hades
Cohrnoic ch chronic social anxiety
Symptoms
Sudden outburst of qowers
Depression
He then held my hand and we made our way through campers running around fighting skeletons and whooping when they managed to hit them with noodles on the head.
Chiron looked at them and sighed.
"Nico di angelo any reason why you decided to crack up the floor in the dining pavalion AGain to cause a havaoc?"
Nico looked over to will who then handed chiron the doctor's note. Chiron studied the sheet carefully and then ordered the other campers to settle down.
"How serious is this William? " he asked, not looking up fron the paper.
Nico felt panicky, he actually had never tried to get himself in trouble with teachers. They sure did scold him back when he was in mortal school . But to be honest, people in the 40's didn't even know what being neurodivergent was.
Will spoke you " you see chrion, he had a depressive episode today with a moodly panic , this time it were only six then could 12 tommrow and maybe 15 ..."
Chrion studied nico's face and his heartbeat grew louder and nerves colder.
Please i just want to sit with Will during lunch , nothing more. Please don't get caught.
Finally Chrion was satisfied enough and he allowed nico to only , and only share the apollo cabin table As Will was his doctor who would insure Nico ate enough and had a social life.
Will responsibly thanked Chrion and walked back to the apollo table with Nico behind him.
"It was not easy to convince a immortal centaur " Nico murmured.
Will huffed at his words and said, "Yes it was , your panicked expression convinced him better."
This was another fanon written for @solangeloweek !!had and awesome time writing this! This is for the free day entry .
I hope you like it!!

Glee Rankings 2.0 Final Rankings
I was going to do a bigger post that broke down my reasonings for changing things around a little better - but it’s been a year and a half, and I really want to put this project behind me, so I thought I’d post the list I created and be okay with it.
I took the original list, and as I watched, I moved things around to fit better how I felt about them. There are still some things I might move around here and there - but for the most part, I’m fine with how this list settled.
Some thoughts about watching through the series this way...
I actually had a lot of fun watching this way! It’s kind of weird to watch things out of order, you get a good sense of just how different each season is, but it was more enjoyable one might think.
Admittedly, though, about a third of the way through I questioned why I even liked the show. One of the pitfalls of watching all your least favorites in a row.
Each of the seasons has a different reason for episodes being closer to the bottom. Season 1 is just boring. Season 4 has some messy and questionable story lines. Season 3 is just bad.
Speaking of which... Season 3 is bad. Anyone who has been around my blog long enough already knows this, but I feel like I confirmed it, and I shuffled a lot more of the season down towards the bottom. The problem is that there are just a lot of poorly handled story arcs in this season and its burdened with too many characters that they weren’t sure how to handle. Nothing had me wanting to throw things a the tv screen more than a Season 3 episode.
However - I will says, Heart was the surprise delight of the rewatch, fwiw.
On the other side of things - I think Seasons 4 and 6 are underrated still.
And by the time I reached the last third of my rewatch, I had a really great time watching the episodes.
I would say around 80 and up is when I started enjoying the episodes more than I didn’t.
There were times when I missed watching things in order.
One of the interesting things to come out of this - I really made my peace with a lot of issues within the Kurt/Blaine/Klaine story line. I don’t think there was anything there that really bothered me throughout, and while, clearly, there are a lot of non-Kurt/Blaine/Klaine episodes near the bottom, rarely was that the sole reason those episodes were ranked lower.
What I did find this time around was stuff that hasn’t aged poorly, or were in poor taste to begin with. I started clocking things like all the racism (there’s a lot of it, btw), the fatphobia, the mean-spiritedness for the sake of being mean, and other things the writers probably thought were funny, but just aren’t. That was the kind of stuff that bothered me the most.
While I did shuffle a lot of Season 3 down, I don’t think there was much that filtered its way up, nor do I think the list is all that different from my original one. I mostly just tinkered with placement - which I’m sure I would do any time I would rewatch it.
The nice thing about this project is that I ended on a high note. My top ten (top 40 really) is a collection of really fantastic episodes, which reminded me why I did like the show.
