5x19 Hammer of Gods

I haven't watched this episode, I never will.

I knew about it, but I first time I read the plot and transcript when I was ploting Cauldron of Ink Verse. I logged out that day, and I was just so angry,

There are two Hindu gods in this episode, lord Ganesha and goddess Kali and lord krishna is mentioned.

I am religious, my faith may not drive me, but it keeps me afloat when things get bad.

Kali Mata is an avatar of goddess Parvati. She is firece, she is symbol of woman power and anger. When Maa Parvati went on a rampage as Kali Mata, no one knew how to stop her, God's were scared of stepping in her way, until until lord Shiva took form of a child and appealed to Maa Parvati.

The way she is presented in that episode fills me with rage and disgust, and I know it's a Me problem and I know that the makers of SPN don't share my faith but I can't just ignore that. I already ignore a LOT of problems I have with show, especially the way women are treated. This just too personal, it hurts

People in India would have killed makers and writers of that episode with bare hands. And this is not an exaggeration

Everyone on xitter is fighting over the midnight streaming release and so many people on both sides of the debate are missing the point

Doctor Who was one of the only shows of its kind that survived the cultural capitalist shift to streaming services. There was a real sense of community that came from sitting down in the same approximate place (on the sofa, with family, in front of the TV) at exactly the same time watching exactly the same thing. Sharing your raw reactions and opinions and theories at exactly the same time that millions of others are doing the same. Logging on after the episode and seeing a rush of people doing the same.

Yes, if you missed the episode you had to avoid spoilers, but largely that was easy because you could just avoid social media for that first couple of hours after the episode airs and the spoilers would taper down afterwards and be easier to avoid.

The pressure of HAVING to watch a streamed show all at once and HAVING to get to it ASAP because if you see spoilers it’s YOUR FAULT for not watching it all yet and the spoilers are all staggered because absolutely everyone is watching at a different time— it’s just exhausting.

The main problem with this midnight release shit is this: it’s the beginning of the end. They’re testing the waters. How long before they decide to drop a whole season of DW at once like they do with streaming shows? The community around it will be utterly crippled as DW, like all live tv shows, relies on staggered individual episodes that people have time to digest and think about before the next one.

I’m sick of this consumerist hellscape and the day it takes DW too will fucking end me

((And before any USAmerican twat comes into my notes saying “well you get Disney+ American shows first” I am hitting you with a hammer. DW is not a streaming show. When you get live aired TV shows we have to wait up to a YEAR to get it on any of our streaming services and god knows which one it’ll end up on and if I have that service or not. Y’all have been getting shit way before us for DECADES.))

Thoughts on Arcane S2 so far (devastated) and small predictions (even more devastated)

With Spoilers

On Jinx and Vi

Nothing better than discovering that your dad is actually not dead but a literal fucking beast and now you have to talk to your sister who turned emo/crazy to save him.

+ Silco and Vander were besties.

I'm happy to see the new relationship between these two after all. So much to apologise and so much to say, and also trying to save the country. I just hope they have small sister fights constantly.

On Caitlyn

I must admit I didn't see Cait coming because I thought she just turned evil but turns out people are complex beings and Cait is not Ambessa.

"Caitlyn is not distracted" that's such a hard line from Vi. She was so distracted by Ambessa but she's right back on track. I love seeing THE lesbians back. Now, they have a lot to talk about and mostly with Jinx, because that sister-in-law relationship is, well, it's definitely a relationship.

On Isha

Wow. I don't even know how to feel because WOW. She was one of the strongest characters I've seen. She loved these people, who by the way she (more or less) just met and she sacrificed her entire life for them and many more. THAT'S strong. I'm gonna miss her and I'm sure Jinx is NOT letting this slide.

On Jayce and Viktor

Jayce is so absolutely traumatised he went insane and I'm just hoping Viktor didn't actually die because I will start killing people, but I'm not mad at him. Mostly I want to see how he turns out. Of course he didn't want to kill him but he did what he thought was okay.

I think the final speech Viktor gave was absolutely amazing. Again, the complexity of the characters is something I had definitely never seen before (although I haven't consumed as much media as I would like to), and how the writers were able to build everything has me crying.

My prediction is that Jayne will be suffering quite a lot and think about Viktor nonstop. The thing is (coming from my own sadness) I think Viktor is not dead, but his body is. He transcended human nature and will be talking to Jayce, maybe through whatever the hammer has going on. My boy Jayce has it BAD.

I want at least a hug and Jayce bawling his eyes out. Ugly crying. Snot, tears and drool all over his face apologising to Viktor and not knowing what to do. And then they both smooch in the weird arcane realm they're in. *figurines clicking together sounds*

Now for real, I would love it if Viktor got into his mind when he sleeps of whatever and talks to him. Maybe he explains what he's seen and Jayce and him fight over what to do, because they have extremely different views on Hextech. That will be a good fight to see.

On Ekko and Mel

Oh god what is going on. For real what are they putting my girl and my boy through. Someone help these people.

Like, Jayce got out but where the fuck are Ekko and Heimendinger? And Mel is just lost in the weirdest realm ever, even worse than whatever Viktor has going on. All of this will be cleared out in the next episodes but damn. There's A LOT to clear out.

My thoughts

I must admit I didn't do a rewatch and that's leaving me with a few questions, but I'll probably watch it all over again and see the full show at its finest.

I will say that in the series that I watch I usually pick favourites. If they're not on screen I lose interest, but this show has me on a chokehold. Every one of these characters are so important and so interesting, and I think that's what makes a show good.

Beautiful writing, beautiful storytelling, beautiful art, beautiful pace. I just love it. As an amateur writer I love seeing this, it's such an inspiration to continue. It's so hard to watch knowing my favs will be going through hell but as a writer it's amazing to see how well the writers built that hell. So to conclude:

The girls are all against Ambessa, me and my besties overthrowing the government.

Jayce and Viktor having yet ANOTHER boyfriend fight, biblical edition.

Mel and Ekko are having the worst weed paranoia ever seen, now with magic.

The whole country is collapsing and these stupid bitches have to save it with the power of friendship and gayness, and I'm here for it.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

[ohmigoshiloveu]

Okay, major spoilers for the suckening episode 5 not below the cut anymore cuz the episode’s out.

In ep 1, when the Fangs vampire is biting into Emizel's neck, Emizel's eyes close involuntarily, he sees himself drifting through a "thick, crimson liquid that seems to stretch on forever", and when he 'opens' his eyes he sees himself from a third person view from somewhere above the fight.

Now, the blood thing sounds like episode 5 when he reincarnates, and I'd bet actual real life money that the 'third person view' was from his cat's perspective, and I kinda think that maybe Emizel straight up wasn't supposed to be turned here. Like, I think he was always supposed to have nine lives, and maybe it wasn't added in just because he died in ep 4, because the blood thing happens right before he would've died from blood loss here in episode 1. The sequence would've made sense if he 'closed' his eyes again and found himself back in the blood ocean for the next 8 hours. He would've woken up, and because he didn't get the chance to tell Soda to run one last time or distract the Fangs vampire with surprise fatherhood, Soda would likely be dead, and that would've been his motivation for hunting down the Fangs vampire.

However, through the power of being a fucking gremlin, Emizel bites the Fangs vampire back, turns himself, gets up immediately and inadvertently saves Soda's life.

I feel like Soda dying might've deepened Emizel's character, because he's always at his most human and most interesting when he's worried about people and he straight up doesn't know how to handle Shilo's grief and I think this would be the equivalent of smashing in his mental stability with a hammer. I really really really wanna see what that would've done for his characterization but also THANK FUCKING GOD.

Charlie also describes a 'searing pain' and then it being 'peaceful' before the whole blood ocean thing, which i think might be similar to what Charlie describes in ep 4 before Emizel fucking dies, but idk if those are necessarily related.

So I finally finished watching ATLA (the animated series) all the way through, for the first time. Here's my final reaction post! You can see the others at the first tag listed below (#lily's atla reactions)

I had always known it was a good show from what little I saw of it. Im not a big TV watcher because a lot of it gets too intense for me. I can’t separate reality from fiction and get so stressed I would actually die watching something like Game of Thrones lol. So I’ve started going through series from my childhood and of course I was going to start with this classic.

(Im cutting this in case you are like me and took forever to watch this and dont want spoilers)

I unsurprisingly love this series. My boy Zuko stays on top, I love his emo ass. Uncle Iroh is a close second, I know, based lol. I was very pleasantly surprised by the Earth King, an unexpected little side character fave that I latched onto and WILL be writing for.

Honorable mention also to Appa. I adore Appa. His episode broke me. Absolutely broke my heart to see him lose his trust in people, and then when Suki found him OH MY GOD 😭 I was so relieved. (Which, btw, did not expect her to be such a big part of the series that was nice)

Speaking of animals though, the hardest I cried was for Roku dying with his dragon. When the dragon just jumped back in to the flames to die with his master I fucking lost it bro. It reminded me of how Aang and Appa nearly died together, and how Aang’s instinct with his dying breath was to protect them BOTH in that ball of ice BRO I SOBBED ALOUD.

Oh as far as characters I also have to mention the explodey eye guy. I love action and he was SO menacing I was always on the edge of my seat when he was around.

In general I love the scenery, I love pretty scenery and colors and I was so well fed. I am worried that if I continue on to LOK I won't like it as much, considering the time jump to the industrial era. I'm a renaissance faire girlie lol.

I love the heavy messages they didn't shy away from. I think the show probably helped conceptualize a lot of really heavy subjects for kids, and I'm grateful to it for that. How revenge hurts everyone, how mistakes don't define you, how grief works.

I love the friendship and found family, the Zuko adventures episodes were probably my favorite. I can see where everyone is coming from with their various Zuko ships, I'm hearing all of you. If I had to choose one, though, I might actually be pro Zuko/Aang? Which is kind of wild and unexpected because Aang isn't my favorite, but I honestly felt like their characters complemented each other the best. It's funny because I share Zukka art all the time and the only fic Ive read was a Zukka fic lol. They're hot together what can I say? I do like Sokka and Suki together though! I think the show really did them justice as a couple.

There were a couple of really cool moments in the ending. Toph falling onto the metal door and metalbending herself armor? SO badass. And Sokka's boomerang coming in clutch again. I love clever moments in action like that.

Overall, unfortunately... I did not love the ending. I wish I had more of a reaction for you, but I found myself being too critical in it, and that is not how I want to contribute to the fandom. I recognize it is a kid's show and I am an adult, and probably wouldn't have anything to say that hasn't been hammered into the ground over the years since it aired.

I loved the show, expect to see an Earth King fic from me someday (and maybe other ships? who knows). I might watch Gravity Falls next since I can't handle adult television lol. We shall seeeee

Laying in bed having a think.

As I try and tackle three intertwined (four? fuck) narrative stories more meticulously than I've crafted any of my narratives thus far, I find myself making several realizations.

BitterSweet is a product of me being at several mental low points but failing upwards. BitterSweet wasn't even intended to be a real narrative, but rather an introduction to Seth then sort of a choose you own adventure, listen to either "path" type thing. When the story revealed itself to me it was very exciting, but I was just going episode to episode and seeing where I'd end up.

Chapter 2 had more planning, a pretty defined outline, and was executed just about to perfection. I think 2 is probably the strongest in terms of knowing wtf was going on and seeing it through.

Chapter 3 is one I feel deeply conflicted about. Plans had to change on the fly multiple times. The scale got out of hand. I was on the struggle bus and only managed to write an episode two at once. It was a mess. We hit some high marks, and some of my favorite performances are in there, but there's this dark cloud over it for me. It's a shame, but it got done.

I can see really clearly how my struggle with my mental health, ADHD, etc. played significant roles in hindering me. So on one hand, I'm thrilled that I was able to make something cool that so many people appreciate and enjoy despite how challenging it was. On the other hand...there's a lot I wish could have been different.

Those wishes have informed many of the choices I'm making now as I tackle Shattered and Echoes, as well as BitterSweet and the unnamed thing. I'm not hitting the big red launch button until it is complete. I've never done that. But I want my writing to be tighter and more cohesive. I'm lucky that making shit up as I went and hitting the broader strokes I knew were there worked out as well as it did, but also I've tripped over myself a time or two.

As ambitious as I'm trying to be with weaving these stories, I want to make sure that when you step back and look at the big picture, it makes sense, but is also really fucking dope.

That's my hope.

This next batch of work is going to be special for me. I'm in my medicated era, but I'm working with a lot of the bones put in place by a version of me that was operating well below capacity.

Reading those first drafts I wrote last year was humbling. God they were bad. Frustratingly so because when I took a hammer to it, what I cooked up in significantly less time on the second draft was so much better than what felt like I had to pull teeth to accomplish before.

I try and tell myself not to look at all of my work through that lens of "I could have done so much better" but it's frustrating. I've gotta cook with the groceries that version of me brought home lol.

It boils down to this. When these next projects launch and the dust settles, I don't want to be glad it's over. When I finished BS3, I breathed a sigh of relief because it felt like I just got out of a year long brawl.

When I finish these projects, I want to be proud. I think that's the conclusion I reached. I was not proud of my work, because it was tainted with compromise and frustration that outside factors fucked with several aspects of it.

So I'm trying to prove to myself that I can do better than that. For myself. I've shaken off the frustration that I'm an entire year behind schedule. I've committed myself to completing it all before it sees the light of day. I've streamlined the process. I really tried to set myself up for success.

When I was struggling I'd cut every corner, I'd phone it in, I'd toss out ambitious ideas for the sake of just being able to call it done.

There's a lot less of that happening now. I'm able to at least try and hold myself to something resembling a standard. Now I just hope I can execute.

Thanks for reading. Sorry about all of whatever that was.

[kazz-brekker]

oh babyyyy we are back and in order to process my thoughts i must write my thoughts on hotd season 2 premiere:

i'm a little sad we only got to be in the north for about 5 minutes but, you know, they were a good 5 minutes. winterfell! the wall! ice! cregan teasing jace about being a southerner! i'm a house stark stan and always will be!

i like the new tapestry-like intro, i think the city/family tree concept of the original one was an interesting idea but hard to follow unless you had the whole targ family tree memorized.

i enjoy rhaenys not taking shit from daemon. that's my queen who never was!

rhaenyra mourning luke was good but rough. emma d'darcy actor that you are etc etc. very impressed by how much they were able to do with no dialogue.

alyn of hull sighting! and hugh hammer, later in the episode! however this plot goes, i think it's going to be interesting.

i feel like there is gonna be a lot of discourse about alicent and criston cole sleeping together but honestly i just liked the continued symbolism of criston taking off his white cloak when doing something that breaks his vows.

my sister was sitting next to me as i was watching this episode and can vouch for the fact that i very loudly said "OH NO" when helaena said she was afraid of the rats.

i bet i'm really going to enjoy aegon this season, tom glynn-carney has absolutely fantastic comedic timing and i'm intrigued by aegon's characterization of trying to be a good father and ruler but not really knowing what he's doing.

tyland lannister fighting for his life against a 4-year-old at the council meeting DID make me giggle.

didn't see a lot of aemond this episode but nothing so far has broken my headcanon that he lies in bed at night staring at the ceiling be like "what the fuck have i gotten have i gotten myself into" while pretending to be scary and cool in public.

weirdly excited that they showed rhaenyra dismounting from syrax because they never actually showed that in season 1 and i was starting to wonder how they got on and off the dragons.

mysaria's accent is so much better this season, god bless.

jace trying to get through his report to rhaenyra without crying and not managing it DID get to me.

"i want aemond targaryen" so true my queen i'll fetch him myself, anything for you.

my heart was beating incredibly hard during the last 15 minutes of this episode, not gonna lie.

the execution of blood and cheese is also something i think there will be a lot of drama about but i'll give my 2 cents and say that think it was well done.

vengeance is cool and all but i never really understood why the black used the ability to get men into the red keep to kill a kid when they could have tried to take out someone more important to the war effort instead, so aemond being the original target actually worked for me.

the scene cutting away when blood and cheese ask daemon what they should do if they can't get aemond reminds me of the "heir for a day" part from the pilot–we don't see what happens, but can infer his response.

i was also curious how they were going to include helaena being forced to make a choice if maelor doesn't exist, and i think that was probably the best way it could be managed.

i am so, so, SO glad that we didn't actually see the murder on-screen, the sound effects were bad enough.

that sure was a way to kick off the season! we are definitely back!

Uzi Doorman: How unnecessary romance can ruin a character (Part 1)

This is no flack to Uzi, nor is it to any NUzi shippers (ship what you want, I may be an eNVy lover and I'm happy you got what you wanted, I just hate how it was handled in the show), but can we all just talk about how much the unnecessary romance subplot + the inclusion of it in the show in general absolutely butchered Uzi's character?

I hope to god this gets put under an automatic 'read more/expand' thing, 'cause this is gonna get long.

But in case it doesn't cue the obligatory 'read more'!

Thank you.

Now, I remember watching the pilot and loving the character and the premise, as well as the dynamics in the show. Uzi was one of the characters that stuck out to me the most and was arguably my favourite before that title was given to V in episode three. She was determined to murder the company as well as armies of their other killer robots to save her colony, even if she had no skills AND at the cost of her own life, and she is absolutely willing to take in the robots that are just as much victims in all of this as the worker drones (eg. N).

I overall like to think that despite her flaws, and what her spiteful personality seems to show and probably on the contrary to what she would claim if she talks to anyone about it, Uzi's a much better person than she lets on. Not the most altruistic obviously, but still better than most people in the show. Hell, she didn't kill V on the spot like she did with J, not only because her railgun was still charging, but also because she knew N liked her and doing anything to V would make him sad.

Uzi overall was strong, independent, and didn't take BS from anyone, and despite her abrasiveness was overall wanting the best for robotkind, even willing to team up with those who had been hurt by them to show them the light. And that is what drew me to her and made me like her.

Then comes The Promening. Uzi, who was terrified of N and what he, V and J could be just an episode ago, is meeting up with him again, and what does she do? Ask him to go with her to prom, all blushy-faced and everything, despite having been terrified of him a moment ago. No buildup, no episode dedicated to them making up and realizing that it's okay and they can figure out what is wrong together, just.... out of nowhere crush. And while you could argue that she still needed him there anyways because of the looming danger of whatever Doll and Lizzy were planning, it's still not necessary, and I hate how it continues to stay throughout the episode.

Ladies and gentlemen, your first indication that this next bunch of episodes gonna get long and arduous.

Up next is Cabin Fever. Not my favourite episode-- I mean, it's no Absolute End in terms of garbage-- but not my favourite either.

Okay, so Uzi's learned that the plot is thickening and that she has some kind of solver thing, and so does Doll. So now, she's trying to get some answers about what this thing that she and Doll have is by looking around the camp that her father recommended checking out.

We start with more unnecessary blushing (seriously, where the fuck did this crush come from)?! and then Uzi goes off to find the cabin where she might get answers. Unfortunately, no results.

We then get a moment between her and V. Uzi and V obviously don't see eye to eye (honestly, they needed an episode or a moment where they talk properly and get a better understanding of each other). Uzi wants answers but finds that V is some annoying parasite that only cares about herself and her stomach, and likewise V does not like Uzi, being jealous of her and not wanting her to get involved with the past, as V thinks she knows what is best for N and is trying to 'protect him' (which Uzi does not know why).

N and V are already getting along with the other campers outside, something Uzi envies because they rarely acknowledge her existence at best, or treat her like a monster at worst. In this moment, V is hammering the point home by saying how Uzi needs to stop 'being creepy' and that she plans to make the latter her next victim for sneaking around and snooping, and that N will move on from her. After all, if what she has said is true, the guy has made friends with rocks before!

Long story short, Uzi gets possessed by the Solver and goes crazy and eats people, and we see her almost about to kill V (something I doubt she'd do if she had free will, as it would make N upset). Only when N swoops in to save them both is when she manages to break free. Blah Blah Blah, N and Uzi have a moment, and they both hug it out together, and they crushily hold hands*, end of episode.

*- Uzi, you didn't need to do that because again, WHERE DID THIS CRUSH COME FROM?

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Apologies in advance for the jarring Picrew, but I needed something to convey my facial expressions rn because I don't have nearly enough unhappy drawings of my 'Sona to show it.

So, as I have mentioned before, I'm an eNVy shipper. And so with this info in mind, you're probably thinking "Well, she's probably making this post to justify why eNVy should be canon". And in another universe where I'm an even bigger bitch than I already am, maybe I would be. But... that's not why we're here. We're talking about how Uzi was utterly RUINED as a character.

So to start, she was great at first. Loveable character, rebellious, surprised her plushie wasn't the second one made because of her popularity.

But then this crush came out of nowhere and so I begin to fear for the future of the show. As I'm watching this, I am partially honestly going "who are you and what have you done with my Uzi?" because while it's good that Uzi is still focusing on the mystery to some degree, it seems that now she's also starting to obsess over an out-of-nowhere crush that has ZERO buildup or anything similar. For god's sake, N and Disassembly drones in general were the objects of her fears at the end of episode two!

I GET that the show is about Uzi and N's friendship, I really do. And I like shows that are buddy-centric. But why does this random romance bullshit have to be squirmed in, when the show was already perfect without any signs of it? Seriously, Liam, this is not how you take things!

Unfortunately, it's only gonna get more arduous from there. So uh... I dunno, "thanks for coming to my TED Talk, stay tuned and keep an eye out for a part two coming later"? I dunno.

the Ds are Hot. the mind has thoughts. ThoughtD: thoughts on HotD is back again for another week. House of the Dragon season 2 episode 6, here we go

they've added Storms End and Rooks Rest to the opening tapestry, that's nice. i like that

Triarchy mentioned! (for those who did not read F&B, the Triarchy is a union between the free cities of Tyrosh, Lys, and Myr that existed at this time)

man, Aemond sucks. i can't wait for all his plans to fall apart around him

you'd think someone with such mommy issues would be just a little more willing to listen to his mother's opinion

i like the choice of Darklyn as the guy who secretly has Targaryen ancestry. the marriage in question is enough generations back to have been before the conquest, a time when we don't have a very detailed Targaryen family tree, and the Darklyns are close enough to Dragonstone that a marriage back when the Targaryens were just a regional power makes sense

it makes sense that, if they were getting people back for Daemon's visions, they'd get Paddy Constantine

"did you say it" i like that, at least in this one thing, they're leaning into the ambiguity of F&B

oh my god Daemon is loosing his mind

i quite like Alys Rivers as a character

can't believe Seasmoke let this man think he was gonna ride him. what a scamp

and now that the search for dragonriders is stalling, here's Addam and Alyn of Hull!

and now that the search for dragonriders is stalling, here's Ulf the White!

if only Aemond knew what his one and only sex worker was saying about him

YES RHAENYRA SLAP THAT MAN

"it suits you" is it just me or is there, like, a sapphic vibe coming from Mysaria this episode?

damn, Larys really thinks he's smooth. "you need a hand. someone... shrewd" yeah alright my guy

they're still not shy about showing us Aegon's wounds, huh?

Aemond! get away from him! he did nothing wrong did many things wrong but he doesn't deserve this!

love Rhaena talking with little Joff. adorable

that's an enormous burn. how did they not notice that earlier?

it has become very clear now that they are, in fact, giving Nettles' plot line to Rhaena. i am incredibly disappointed by this

Alyn* of Hull is pulling an Egg, shaving his head so his Valyrian hair isn't obvious

Lucifer & Sam debate sacrifice. Gabriel doesn't get a say. The dead never do.

The Lucifer who visited Sam’s dreams in the aftermath of Gabriel’s death was a very different one than he had been. Or, rather, he was in the process of becoming something new and Sam was the only one (he had left) to bear witness to it. To see Lucifer mourn, in a way that was vicious and ugly and lost, dragging Sam in their shared dreams back to the scene of the crime. Sam wasn’t even there, but now, he’d had it replayed so many times, he felt like he was. Lucifer went through the same steps, again and again and again, Sam helpless to do anything but stand and watch, listen to Gabriel whimper on the end of a blade and to Lucifer’s choppy breathing when he finally let his brother fall.

And that was always the part where Lucifer would look at him.

Like he thought Sam could explain it. Why he’d done this. Why it hurt.

Sam had been in this position before, stuck in an endless loop. Gabriel and Lucifer were more alike than they realized. His resentment for being forced to watch this every night kept him from seeing for weeks that he was not the only one trapped.

“Don’t do it,” Sam said, one night. He’d never spoken up before, only glared at Lucifer from across the room and watched in horror as Gabriel fell. This time, he stepped closer, at Lucifer’s side. Lucifer looked like a wild animal, bloodstained and cornered.

“I have,” he answered. “I will.” They meant the same thing, the way he said them.

“No one makes us do anything,” echoed Gabriel’s memory, chastising his brother from beyond the grave. Lucifer flinched.

“I can’t change it, Sam.” His words were bigger than this room, this moment. They encompass the past year. The whole of Sam’s life. The fall of mankind. Every step, preordained.

“You don’t even try.” Sam didn’t want Gabriel’s sacrifice, but he respected it for what it meant. Dean had told him to stand up to his family, and he did. It was a deadlier game to play when that family was still around and kicking than it was when they were burned and buried before you were. Sometimes, you stood up and got your heart run through. Sometimes, you stood up and had to find your own way to the bus stop while nursing a black eye. Sometimes, you stood up and were locked away for asking the questions no one wanted to answer. “It doesn’t even matter here. It’s a dream. You can do whatever you want. You don’t have to-” Behind him, Sam heard Gabriel step up, blade drawn.

He heard, as Lucifer heard, unsteady breathing, the shake of the blade, the slight unconscious shift in Gabriel’s stance that he didn’t realize left him vulnerable. Lucifer was not looking at either of them. Sam could put himself in Gabriel’s way, but that wouldn’t matter. He stepped aside. Lucifer was stiff and silent. He’d kept to the script for so many nights that Sam could have said the words for him.

“To kill him,” Sam finished. Gabriel went in, and as ever, Lucifer turned and caught the blade.

And he held it. It shone between them, the light inside beating like a heartbeat and painting both their faces starkly. The part of Gabriel waited for the next act of the play, expression frozen between the surprise that came when Lucifer turned and the horror that would settle into his features when the blade pierced his heart. Lucifer clutched his blade between them like someone might hold onto the edge of a cliff for dear life after tumbling over the side.

“Just once,” Sam whispered. Maybe Gabriel should have let him boil half a year more. His lesson hadn’t seemed to sink in as well as he wanted. Sam wasn’t even sure who he was trying to save anymore. If it mattered at all, when no one here could be.

Lucifer let go.

There was no fanfare in it. No lunge and retribution from Gabriel now that his brother wasn’t defending himself. No gasp as he was spared. No sudden leap back from Lucifer as he brushed his own demise and narrowly escaped.

The real Gabriel might have done any of those things, or none at all.

But it was not Gabriel. It was a memory. Lucifer’s memory. And Lucifer’s memory only knew one way this story went. Here, Gabriel’s image became trapped in amber. Without Lucifer, the play could not continue, but it didn’t end, either. It waited with the patience of inevitability for him to wrap his hand around Gabriel’s blade again and finish the job.

Lucifer reached up and cupped the side of Gabriel’s face. Sam had seen him do that too many times to count, always in Gabriel’s last moments. Lucifer let Gabriel leave the world with a taunt in his ears, but he called him little brother, too. He held him when he shattered and before he fell into the cold embrace of death. For Lucifer, euthanasia was a form of love.

"I'm not supposed to have your blood on my hands," Lucifer told his dead brother. Gabriel did not answer. Corpses rarely did, even in Sam's experience. Ghosts, on the other hand, always had far too much to say. "They are not better than us, Gabriel. They are not better than you." Lucifer's hand fell like he couldn't bear to touch Gabriel any longer. "Why would you choose..." He trailed off. For all that this play had become well-rehearsed, Lucifer's grief was never a performance. Sam wished it was. It would be easier to swallow a lie. "Why would you choose?"

Sam didn't know if he really wanted an answer. Still, "Because this mattered to him. All of it." Lucifer turned on him. He used to appear to Sam without a mark on him, no matter how his vessel deteriorated in the waking world. Now, Sam watched his skin blister in real time. (It was almost more comforting than the nights when Lucifer's face looked more put together than it did before. Sam knew the price other people were paying for him to avoid saying yes, all that blood to patch up an unfit vessel. Just because Sam stopped drinking from demons didn't mean he wasn't responsible for every life drained.)

"Do you think it doesn't to me?" Lucifer asked. "Do you think I don't care about this world or my siblings' lives? If I could show you what it was like before the cancer of humanity set in-"

"That's not the world," Sam argued. "It hasn't been for a long time." The thing about being indispensable to Lucifer was that it had made him bold. "You don't love what it is now. He did"—Sam gestured at Gabriel—"and you cut him down for it."

But there was a line between bold and suicidal.

Lucifer hardly needed to try to be intimidating. He was already wearing the aftermath of the hotel massacre.

"In self-defense. I would never have hurt him if he backed down."

"So now you're not a fan of standing up for your beliefs?" Sam already had one foot in the grave. No harm in continuing to dig. There was a glint in Lucifer's eyes that was not human. It reminded Sam uncannily of the shine of a knife right before it plunged. "Or is it only when they conflict with yours?"

"I'm not my Father." Lucifer said, a warning. Sam did not back down. Behind them, Gabriel watched blindly, instigator to the devil's newest doubts.

"From where I'm standing, you're starting to look like Him," Sam lied. In truth, Lucifer had been the closest thing to God Sam has ever encountered, and that had left him in equal awe and horror since he laid eyes on him. Lucifer took a step towards him. Sam swallowed and prepared to pay for his blasphemy.

Lucifer stopped. He looked back at Gabriel. Gabriel was still frozen in fear, forever waiting to be struck down, only to rise the next night and play pincushion for Lucifer all over again. All Sam wanted was a sign that things could change. (All Sam had wanted was for it to not be Tuesday anymore. And he'd gotten his wish. He'd gotten his wish for six long months.)

"If this could be any other way-"

"Can't it?" Sam pleaded. Lucifer put his hand back on the blade that had been waiting for him.

"He's already gone," Lucifer said.

Sam didn't ask who.

"You aren't." Lucifer's hands were folded over Gabriel's as he guided the blade to his heart. It pressed unerringly against its final resting place.

"Oh, Sam," Lucifer said, and the anger had faded from his voice. He cupped Gabriel's cheek again. His brother's eyes met his. Sam flinched when he heard the horrible sound of the blade sliding in. "I have been since before we even met." Light burst from Gabriel's eyes, and Lucifer held him as his grace tore itself apart from the inside out.

"I won't let his sacrifice go in vain," Sam said as Gabriel fell. His wings scarred the ground. "You won't win." Lucifer stood over his brother.

"Please," he said, "prove me wrong."

Chén Qíng Lìng/The Untamed - 1.50 Episode 50

The mastermind who plans everything has appeared. He's not someone who wouldn't think he would be the one who is behind everything, including Wei Wuxian's comeback. Who would that be?

I nominate this final on grounds of CCP information control, censorship and homophobia. They were so scared of the power of wangxian that they ended up banning ao3 in china and in the show they have to inexplicably have them part ways just to hammer home the no-homo. Plus the show is just kind of objectively bad.... but it rewires your brain all the same

Supernatural - 15.20 Carry On

cw: suicide

After Chuck is defeated and someone takes his place, Sam and Dean go about their life of hunting, but things don't turn out as expected.

1) you know why 2) god. where do i fucking start. this episode completely ignores this large cast of characters that were considered family in order to make it the "just two brothers" show again, scrapping basically every shred of character development shown throughout the course of the show, cutting out incredibly important characters at the last second (i.e. eileen being replaced with blurry wife for no fucking reason, cas not being there at all despite the whole love confession/ dying for dean that happened just two episodes before). in the penultimate episode the boys fight god. the finale? a random vampire from an episode of season one, who up until this point had never been mentioned again. then we have Dean being impaled on a very phallic looking spike and, after a speech about it just being about the brothers, dies. he then goes to heaven, where his father figure tells him his abusive dad is just down the road. he hops in his car (also in heaven, somehow) and drives for the next 60 odd years waiting for Sam to die. meanwhile, sam is moving on with blurry wife and i shown with a son named dean (as seen stitched onto his clothes), and we eventually see sam, now old and clad in the crustiest looking wig i have ever seen, die in the hospital. he goes to heaven, meets Dean on a bridge, and the last shot is the entire cast and crew on the bridge saying goodbye, completely shattering the fourth wall because fuck it, who cares anymore. and this isn't even mentioning everything that happened after. just an absolute mess the whole way through. 3) Random villain from season 1 kills one of the main characters, he goes to heaven and drives around while the other main character gets a montage of growing old a horrible wig. And that's not even all. 4) It abandoned 15 years of series theme and character growth, veered away from the natural story line and failed to resolve major plot threads. Dean deserved better, and so did Cas. See also Jared's terrible wig, Dean jr, Dean driving through heaven for five minutes... 5) Dean dies in the most anticlimactic way, cheap wig, blurry wife 6) There was no Castel :( 7) I mean... 8) destroyed every character arc in one fell swoop. the guy who tried to kill himself and struggled with depression throughout the show ended up killing himself anyway! was cas’s death even important? who was blurry wife? why was the absolute ugliest toddler imaginable cast to play Sam’s son? but in order to truly grasp how decimating this finale was, you have to understand the queerbaiting between 15.18 and the finale. why did Misha post that pic in the onion field with Uriel. why was Misha originally credited to be in 19 episodes of the final season on IMDb. why was . Hrrgghh. 9) Do I even need to write propaganda for this one? Even though it was the series finale we are still here after 3 years 😂 Title said 'carry on', but the fandom said 'nah, time for season 16'. 10) Bad old man makeup and no castiel 11) Everything had been neatly wrapped up in the previous episode. Then they decided "Hey you know what would be great? If we just killed one of the main characters." They killed him for no reason. He deserved to live a full life, have a family, retire, but nope! He met his match in a RUSTY NAIL. Not to mention that there were terrible wigs, blurry wives, and subtextual incest vibes involved.

+ After it aired, one of the actors unfollowed everyone who had anything to do with the episode.

[gothushi]

i’m just thinking…. absolutely humiliating rob.

like. tying him to a chair, or using some secure cuffs. his muscles bulge as he tugs at them, testing them, scoffing in amusement at you bc what’re y’gonna do? just keep him strapped to this chair all night?

you tie a vibrator to his cock, not on yet, controlled by an app on your phone. getting comfy and having him repeat the safeword you agreed on, you recline back on the couch and turn on the show you’ve been watching.

he sits in agonizing silence besides the tv, staring at you, confused. is this it? are you gonna turn it on? are you even gonna look at him? no. you fiddle with your phone fifteen minutes into the hour long episode, turning it on low vibrations. he’ll groan, tip his head back, “c’moooon y’can do better than that. i barely feel it.”

another twenty goes by, dull sensation keeping him hard, along with the anticipation. he’s honestly just watching the show as well, occupied with the plot when the vibrations get stronger and make him jolt. he’ll gasp, color blooming over his cheeks, lips parting as his cock starts to leak.

it’s a bit much now, steady buzzing making his thighs clench up as he can’t get away from it, following his heavy cock as he squirms his hips around. the episode ends and as the next begins play, he cums.

he’s panting, immediately starting to tremble because the vibrations don’t stop, torturing his sensitive cock beneath the head as the sticky cum oozes down, dripping from his balls onto the wooden chair. his heart hammers and he groans again, pleading with your name to just turn it down, or off. just for a minute.

ignoring him, you leave it there for five minutes, listening to him pant and whine. eventually you get up and grab some more rope, looping it around his knees or lower thighs, keeping his legs fully spread as you attach it to the chair. he’s watching with hawk eyes, panting, trying to hold back another orgasm as he pleads. “c’mon turn it down” “off, i can’t-.. it’s sensitive” “i need a break honey please”

not saying a word, you’ll kiss his forehead, smiling, tucking hair behind his ear before going into the fucking kitchen to make some popcorn. he cums again whilst you’re out of sight. it squirts up onto his abs, sticking to his skin as it drips down a little.

he’s gasping for air, whining now, calling your name, watching as you come back with a big bowl and some little candies from the stash you two keep in one of the kitchen drawers. you feed him one, a sweet treat with your finger pushing on his tongue. his eyes nearly roll back as he sucks, letting the chocolate melt in his mouth with a moan. “please turn it off”

you haven’t said a word for over an hour now, getting comfy again as he sees your finger swiping on the screen of your phone, up, and it gets more intense.

he flinches with a yell, tossing his head back, hands clenching and unclenching, starting to whimper little sounds as he pleads. “baby- i can’t! i can’t please i can’t cum again it hurts-“ “please turn it off!” “off, off, off” he’ll moan and whine, lips parted, brain starting to go dumb with pleasure. it’s only been two orgasms, you’ve taken worse from him.

he’s noisier and noisier as the minutes go by, and six more later he cums for a third time. it spurts out at first, joining the mess all over his stomach and cock, dripping down the length, covering the vibrator, before it just ozzes out with the stimulation. he can’t get away from it, can’t make it stop, can’t, can’t,

he’s starting to drool, can’t keep his lips closed as he whines and moans, eyes fluttering. the buzzing gets louder, so does his little cries, hands shaking but he isn’t flailing them around anymore, forced to take it.

he cums again only three minutes later, thinner, squirting all over his stomach as he cries, real tears blurring his vision.

“mama, oh god, please,” sparing a glance at him finally, pausing the show because even with subtitles you can’t focus over his whiny babbles. his eyes are fuzzy, brows furrowing up, drool shiney on his chin and lower lip.

he feels pathetic, you’re sitting there seemingly unaffected whilst he’s losing his mind. he can’t seem to get your attention for the life of him, face flushed pink high on his cheekbones, down his neck, skin heated with sweat.

you get up, feed him another piece of chocolate, untie the vibrator from his cock and then kneel down to clean up the mess he made with your tongue and fingers, feeding it to him. he cums once more with your palm rubbing circles on his cockhead and sobs escaping his throat.

its one of the hottest experiences of his life.

Monster Next Door episode 4 review

Starts off with Diew and God going to the vet. This is Diew's first time on his motorcycle, but we don't see them on it. Diew shows a cute .moment when he is about to grab and hold Diew when it starts thundering. The next scne is beautifully made, with Diew confessing that he wants to talk to God some more. Then, its a beautiful slow motion shot of them in the rain.

We see that God is really a very good guy when he cleans up the trash in Diew’s apartment. In the next scene, we see Diew caring for a sick God, who has a fever. This is when we see the first true signs of how much Diew cares for God, as he wipes him down with a cloth. This has to be one of the most endearing scenes so far out of the episodes I've seen. You can see how thankful God is for his help. Diew kindly lets him stay the night.

Diew gets uncomfortable while talking about a faculty activity. God tells him that rather than do the activity it's better for him to prioritize his own feelings. Well said, God, well said! I couldn’t have said anything more helpful than that. God talks to Diew about how he came to enjoy drums and how it is his “muse.”

Nothing interesting or worth mentioning happens until God brings Diew to his basketball practice with him. In another moment of furthering their friendship (hopefully relationship soon) God teaches Diew how to shoot a hoop. You can truly see how happy God makes Diew in this scene.

Then, God gets drunk with his friends and calls Diew. Wan and Beer leave the restaurant and in a cute moment, Wan leans his head on Beer. Diew comes to rescue God who is absolutely hammered at this point and brings him to the couch.

“My Diew is so cute.” God says, with the episode ending with him almost kissing Diew.

All in all, a great episode with lots of happy emotions and good acting from both leads. I’d give it a 9 out of 10.

Venture Bros Rewatch notes: Home Insecurity

Fucking hilarious that Underland is designed like a disney princess villain lair but actually with all the executions.

tiger balm....tiger....bomb.....makes me laugh EVERY time honestly all i can think of when i hear tiger balm

Knowing that there are many kids with amputations in Underland from the child mines, like that is crazy the child amputee rate must be one of the highest in the world. i get that its played for jokes and it was funny, but if we are gonna be serious about all of it this counts and is like. mind boggling

whoo! use of the r slur! the way ive had to fucking campaign in my family to get them to stop using it and then i turn on this show and theyre saying it like every other episode makes me want to hunt down hammer and publick

okay but thats a waste of tiger.....

ik we dont learn this till later but i have questions about underland apparently being located right next to michigan.....PLEASSSSE LET ME SEE THE WORLD MAP IK ITS SO FUCKED UP

Brock's blue shirt is so beautiful on him...wish I could unbutton it off him. Dean and his hover boots, honestly those boots should make a come back

Stupid ass racist costume!

I literally choked on my spit and coughed at the same time Doc coughed at Brock's fumes

Okay I think Rusty is just doing a bit with the whole "big man think you can take me on? i knew this day would come" like seriously, the twins are so fucking silly but rusty is so beyond sarcastic he really is just projecting his own issues onto his kids all the time.

HELPER!!!!!!!!! Him going to take care of Rusty and so comically seeing NEW ROBOT blueprints and packing up a knapsack including a pic of child Rusty and Helper, oh my god it is just the sweetest robot and makes me wonder if there is a similar situation like with the red Helper happening with the whole....human brain.

the henchmen fighting and getting distracted till doc wakes up an slides into the panic room LOL

also i do love the underland footmen look as someone who loved tmnt it looks very foot clan

hank and dean may be a little over the top but they did take care of the scorpion and tarantula pretty handily.

Dean and Hank in the panic room and not even knowing when it was built....like seriously how many memories are they missing, consider they repeated being 15/16 over 10 times

Hank choking out Rusty is SO FUNNY Hank is just trying to help!!!!!!! just send them both to a first aid class you will be better for it doc

Rusty lactating!!!!! Milky king!!!!!

The animation and storyboard in this episode flips between dynamic and very getty stock images which is pretty funny

Dr. Girlfriend getting insulted and telling the monarch to use the phone himself...him trying to get an outside line....god i feel so old.

bigfoot baby!

"GUARDO" you fucking idiot Rusty. "I fell asleep" Okay but have we considered the fact  that you just don't have a head for mechanics and need to switch science majors

THE SNACKS FOR COMPANY. And Monarch apparently seeing the Baron for the first time since college and them trying to kill each other at first in a big dick measuring contest.

"how do you even mix it up! augh its like having my dad do the shopping!" ok i need more orphan jokes from the monarch stat seasons 1 he kills with this

its funny to see bigfoot and brock and steve summers meeting is so funny...considering that they all fuck when brock stays with them after he leaves the osi

"do you know how long 6 million bucks takes to pay back on a government salary!" fucking screammmmmmmmmmm

"lab partnership is a sacred trust" SSTILLLLLLLL want to know about how this happened

The Monarch fucking around struggling with his old ass computer makes me SOOOO nostalgic i remember we had a similar computer in the kitchen growing up.

Dean reading Helper perfectly and Doc going through a slumdog millionaire flashback before emotionally manipulating his mommy robot

One henchman became a hench after the plant closed and he only had a GED. one had a crack addiction and got off it. one (gary) got kidnapped) underland minions are drafted and then executed at 38.

"SASBURGER"!!! GOD "Sasquatch gave me a new life" Brock trying not be grossed out but like trying not to let it show (but only because he thinks Sasquatch is a woman at that point and he's bigoted but pro-str8 people always.

"Go team Helper!"

Jesus I really SSOOOOOOOOOOO would fucking fucking fucking kill for an expose episode on how henching works in the world as a job

all the army men are idiots very appropriate. brock getting SOOO weirded out. It is homophobic but also I choose to believe Brock has never seen a cock bigger than his own and got so horny and emasculated he got wigged out.

First mention of the Guild in this episode about filing paperwork on collaboration which i think is funny

Helper not letting Rusty out is SO funny me and my siblings would do that all the time. Truly, there is a lot to be said about Rusty and Helper's relationship. No other relationship has been as long for Rusty as Helper, who has been there sinvce he was a young boy and has always looked out for him.

Overall this episode is really fun and enjoyable, it does very well with having very silly concepts being treated seriously and then serious situations being treated clownishly. always love steve and sasquatch, altho the vbros design is so............he has a face only steve summers loves apparently. and the conversation on paying back the osi for the bionics was good worldbuilding/commentary on real world disability issues of how disability devices are often very expensive and only work at the behest of whoever made the device. my own cousin had a cochlear implant that worked very well but then he was told it was being recalled and he could get new one and now its works awfully for him

would rate this one like a 7/10. very solid but nothing too rib crackling funny or show pausing overly interesting

Lore Olympus Episode 272 Spoilers

Soooo, Hera's not dead.

Shocker.

Not like we've been spending several past episodes hammering it in that gods literally can't die.

Like, the most Apollo and Ouranos could do was sent Zeus into a coma. Metis is a star. Rhea went into hibernation. Hera survived being ripped in two.

Why were we supposed to think Hera would die from Kronos squeezing her a bit?

More importantly, why would Hera think that??

Once again, baby Dionysus has to do all the thinking because his kidnapper adoptive mom is too busy getting stuck in her own tiny tiny head to actually think about solutions. Love how Persie isn't nearly as horrified as she should be that her fucking child is in the same room as a known mass murderer. Oh, and another thing, I know it's petty but I just have to point it out:

Persephone: "I have no idea how you got here but I'm definitely going with a different sitter next time."

Gentle reminder that the reason Persephone stole Dionysus from Zeus was that she didn't like that Zeus wanted to give Dio to a commune of nymphs instead of raising Dio himself.

Yet here she is, pushing the responsibility of watching Dionysus onto random babysitters we've never even gotten to see. While she herself only spends times with Dio when it's convenient. Dio's been so neglected and ignored he was able to sneak into the Underworld and then into Tartarus unbothered. During a time when everyone was supposedly on high alert.

A+ parenting there Persie, so glad Dio's growing up with you instead of a group of loving attentive nymphs./s

Apparently we're back to Persie not knowing how her new powers work. And needing, I'll say it again the help of a literal baby to realize that maybe her powers changed because she changed in more than one way.

Another cliffhanger because RS will put filler into even the finale even if it kills the pacing.
