1. Rick for sure, I like everyone in the family tho ! My favorite specific Rick's are Toxic(because he's awful and very very short sighted, idk i just think he's interesting in a sopping wet pathetic way.) and Flesh Curtains era(because let's be real how am I going to look at a 30 something grungey drunk and not be obsessed. thats like, some of my favorite people irl.)
2. I don't think it matters! Probably space beth, but eh š¤·āāļø
3. No not canonically. I think it'd be really fun tho and I like all the theories. Ricks do mess around tho, hes a horndog and the citadel exists, a huge conglomeration of Him, i think it happens more often then it seems to.
4. Tilda. I will not elaborate.
5. Errh idk! A lot i guess. Theyve said before they want the like, classic adult cartoon run time(think futurama, family guy, simpsons), so as many seasons as humanly possible if the writers get their way. I think they step on their own toes a little since they seem to toggle between wanting to be an episodic sitcom, but ALSO a serial scifi thriller. I dont think theyve done badly in that regard so far, but theres absolutely aspects of both that are suffering because of the other's presence.(plot inconsistencies n that kinda thing.)
6. Smash, it would be a bad decision for both of us, but itd be fun !
7. Does the galactic federation count? Probably not since its an organization, but for sure that one. Super interesting stuff u can do with space bureaucracy(bc im boring) and state-sponsored violence. But as for an individual, I really really like Beths mytholog, that whole concept is really cool, and her design is hella badass lol. Also i guess Toxic Rick is a villain too !
8. oof I've tried to figure this out and i dont think i can narrow it down, but i really like Rattlestar Ricklactica, Vat of Acid, and a Rickle in Time.
9. uhh idk the one with the giant incest baby? I didn't enjoy Story Train either tbh. I don't think any of the episodes are like, unwatchably bad, but theres absolutely a few I skip when i rewatch the show.
10. I don't care about story lord like, at all. hes just. deeply uninteresting. Not a huge fan of Mr. Poopybutthole, but i think i just thought we were reminded of him too often.(i liked the intervention episode well enough tho)
11. Oh man this is hard to answer cuz hes just done So Much. Like, guys a shithead. The reckless disregard for innocent bystanders is pretty bad. I think it sucks when he orchestrates situations in which morty has to lethally defend himself, and then totally disregards his feelings(which is literally all the time lmfao). like, the kids 14. His casual manipulation of Beth is super fucked, cuz he knows how much he means to her and he exploits that. yeah idk, guys just a pos all around lol
12. Dated question, luckily no! I think the new voice actors are great :3
13. All the rnm blogs i follow are badass as hell. idk how to pick ill prob edit this l8r
14. Can I say rick without sounding like a total loser. mentally ill, substance abuse issues, ruled entirely by emotions, hedonistic while paradoxically engaging in self-harm/hatred. nihilistic(silly flavor). freaked out by commitment/attachment. the party friend(as opposed to someone you invite for brunch or to meet ur parents). also science is cool.
15. the entire "...couldn't let a dead snake be dead even after it bit his ankle, next time stay in the fucking car!" monologue. and the "a vat of fake acid are you Dying of Dementia?!" fight.
16. i havent finished my brackets yet ill get back to you.
17. same as above.
18. man idk probably. i dont actually watch it in a way that supports them(financially) anyway, but that would suck balls cuz its a fixation of mine.
19. done to death probably but mortys "come watch tv?" quote is my fave. it reads to me as incredibly reassuring. optimistic nihilism. like, "nothing means anything, nothings a big deal, lets chill and enjoy it while we can." ya know? like dying is the same as before you were born, and Everyones gonna do it, but we're here together right now, so lets eat pasta and get a little drunk.
20. i know hes doing his own thing but can i be snowball. hes cool and empathetic and capable of growth, also i wanna see how the dog utopia is going.

Initial Thoughts on Arcane S2 (spoilers)
I think season 1 was far stronger because it told a much more focused story and centred its themes on the relationships of the characters. What I love about s1 is that you could pick two characters from anywhere in the show, and they'd be foils of some kind, or parallel each other, etc. We don't get enough time with characters talking to each other for that in s2. In s1, so much of the insight we gain from characters is through their conversations with each other - this is effective because they're there and reacting to each other, so you get the deeping of their relationships alongside development of the plot. I think this is why people resonate so strongly with Ep7 - it's so contained. The expanded cast of characters and expanded plotlines mean that at times, it feels like they're checking off plot beats rather than letting the story develop as its characters do. But this is also why I find the jayvik storyline to be the most compelling part of s2 - it's this beautiful medley of greater themes and personal ambition wrapped around inextricably in the other. I found the show's thesis on healing and destruction and the cycles of human violence compelling, and I liked that magic was a sort of tech/industrialisation stand in. Viktor had some GREAT lines that I need to spend some more time unpacking. Cosmic yaoi soulmatism is beautiful. Also speaking of episode 7, I also thought Ekko's arc was incredible and the best and he's the best and I love him.
That being said, I definitely think the ball was dropped on the class commentary. The writers simply took on too much - just trying to explore the class tensions between Zaun and Piltover is enough to take up the entire season. And it's so deeply integral to the politics of the season, and to the balance of the relationships of various characters, that it's just a bit. sigh. Especially when nearly all the new characters introduced get killed off. And we don't get much focus at all on Sevika, who's one of the only main characters involved in revolution. I love Isha, but she felt so much to me like a plot device to me that i find it hard to reconcile. And the lack of class-commentary sours their portrayal of Caitvi alot for me. I personally think Cait's revenge to reconciliation arc was handled fine, and that a verbal apology wouldn't mean as much to vi as the action of freeing her sister did, but the last line of the show is hard for me. "I'm the dirt under your fingernails." I get that it can be interpreted multiple ways (see: non-problematically), but that had to have crossed the writers' minds. Is it intentional then? A reminder of Vi's insecurities, simply glossed over by Caitlyn? Does it just draw attention to the inequality of their relationship, indicate that there's further work to be done between them and individually? Honestly I feel the same way about where Zaun/Piltover is left off politically. This sort of ambivalent state that isn't endorsed (the sneers the council throws at Sevika are intentional), but is unfortunately realistic. I don't think the ending is a happy one at all. Ambivalent really is the word I'd use to describe it.
I also figure that I need to rewatch the show in full, including season 1. Thoughts might change! I'm still working things out in the brain. I do still think Arcane is a fucking beast and a triumph, and I will forever be inspired by it. I love these characters. every shipper won something and I think that's beautiful. Fortiche's animation is revolutionary.

Vi can't handle change
In arc 1 she complains that everyone around her changed, and asks Cait not to, and then not even 15 minutes later Cait changes, and Vi finds it very upsetting. But not only that, she also seems perturbed when Isha comes into the scene and Jinx's whole demeanor changes, her bravado giving way to fear for the kid. In season one, when she finds Sevika she angrily calls her a traitor, and after her operation with Jayce kills a kid and Jayce backs out, Vi gets angry at him. When she reunites with Ekko she's confrontational till the point when she can tell he still has the same morals she knew him to have, and that compensates for the change in personality. When she meets Warwick she's immediately hostile, even though she knows it's Vander, and she only stops because Jinx is sounding more like the Powder she knew. And the whole fandom noticed how she was at her happiest in the whole show when she got her family back.
I used to find Vi the most uninteresting character on the show, and only now realised it's because she haven't changed. From episode one of season one, to episode 6 of season 2, she's still the same person. Everybody talks about how Jinx's trauma stunted her mental growth, but the same goes for Vi. She was taken out of society at a young age, and although she probably went through horrible things in prison, all of it only confirmed the world views that she already had. As bad as they are, days in prison are all the same, even if the rotation of prisoners and guards changes, their behaviors stay predictable, and routines there never change. Vi remained static for over a decade, and not only was everything different when she got out but she also got out at a time of various intense changes; she barely had time to absorb what to her was the new status quo and it immediately changed again. She expected to get out and go back to her life as it was, like a movie that was paused and all she had to do was hit the play button and pick up from where she left off.
Meanwhile, everyone else changed. The how and why don't matter because it is inevitable. Even if nothing bad ever happened, all these characters would still change, because that's just how life is. We grow and we see the world, and our opinions and tastes and habits all change, and things and people around us change as well, so we react to that by changing again. Vi didn't learn that because she grew up in the one place that stays the same while the world moves on.
If Arcane were a more optimistic show i'd say it would end showing Vi as our one true hero, who through all the trials and tribulations remained true to her character and beliefs, the whole hero's journey thing. But I don't think it's going there. She is definetly going to have a significant change; whether it's for the better or for the worse I don't know. (Going off of LoL lore, she loses her memory and becomes an enforcer, but Arcane already changed so much lore, and that feels like such a disappointing note to finish her character arc on, I doubt they're gonna do it exactly like that

A journal, Christmas card and a scented candle
Tagging: @kmc1989
Bobby keeps a Christmas card in his journal, he uses it to mark the page as he writes down the five things heās grateful for each day. It started as a method of therapy when he was coming to terms with the death of his family and now itās a habit he maintains to keep his head on straight amongst the wins and the losses.
As he sits on the roof of the firehouse, the sun setting in the distance, he canāt help but smile as he reflects on the past twenty four hours.
Itās his birthday today and youād surprised him with a scented candle, an expensive one that he would never allow himself to splash out on, no matter how much he may love the smell. Youād seen him observing it when the two of you were shopping at the Farmerās Market this weekend, he hadnāt realised youād picked it up.
The Farmerās Market is something youāve been doing together since he first moved to LA. Youād become his tour guide in the early years, helping him find the best places to suit his needs. It was handy having someone like you working with him, someone kind enough to volunteer their free time to take him around, engage him in the community.
It's only after you made the move to a teaching position in the training academy that things began to change between the two of you. Thereād always been an attraction but neither of you had acted on it, not until you were outside of his chain of command.
Up until this morning it had been a handful of dates squeezed in between his shifts, thereād been some teasing kisses, a little petting because Bobby he hadnāt been ready. Then youād stopped by with that candle and heād realised in that moment just how perfect you were for him, how thoughtful, how dedicated. Heād spent the next Ā couple of hours showing you his appreciation, with his mouth, his body. He thought heād be a little rusty after all that time, but when itās with the right personā¦
And you are certainly were the right person, heād known that from the moment heād found that Christmas card on his desk during his holiday season in LA.
Bobby, youād written, weāre lucky to have you, letās make some new memories together next year. Mel x
He hadnāt had a single friend up until that point. Everyone else was judging his ability to run the 118, waiting for him to fall flat on his face.
But not you, never you.
He picks up his pen and writes the number one, before adding your name. Itās the same all the way throughout his gratitude diary, it has been since the moment you met.
Love Bobby?Ā Donāt miss any of his stories by joining the taglistĀ here.

Strangest blorbo tourney: prelims (propaganda under the cut)
Prowl (Transformers Generation One)
Vs.
Manfred von Karma (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)
Prowl:
Okay so a TF fan might not think he counts as strange but HEAR ME OUT. I'm not talking about his IDW comic book self or the version from Animated. I'm talking about the version from G1, the most popular version of the character. The version who's largest on-screen impact was his death in the 1986 movie. He had a single digit number of lines across two seasons of the show despite supposedly being the second in command of the Autobots. The version of his character that feels so concrete and consistent in all his fanworks is based on his original (largely ignored by canon) character bio, the Marvel comics (which most modern fans have never read) and decades of fanon hivemind.
Prowl was the original Goncharov. Change my mind.
Manfred von Karma:
Every single horrible thing that has ever happened in the first three games is the result of a murder he did in 2001. He is cartoonishly evil, adopting the son he orphaned and then framing said son for the murder of his father 15 years later. A lot of people HC him as a child abuser (though this is not canon, just fanon that will get you EXECUTED if you disagree with it) and if you like him, think he is a compelling villain, or even just enjoy art and fic and stuff of him you will be unpersoned. I literally made a joke about him having lead poisoning once and got excommunicated from the fandom on twitter like they were THAT upset that I would even come up with a jokey, half-sympathetic headcanon about him.
Someone once got run off the platform for organizing a zine about him. I am still to this day known as "the Lead Poisoning Guy" because I like him. One time I was in a fan server and another member constantly tried to pick fights with me because he was my comfort character. I wasn't even talking about him just, like, existing in her peripheral. I have seen Ace Attorney servers where you are banned from even mentioning him. Deadass.
It should also be noted that in the sequels there is a character who is literally like a young pretty version of him--more or less does the same level of cartoonishly evil crimes, is also a mean fancy German guy, some people even argue that this guy is WORSE. But he is beloved by the fandom and shipped with the protagonist because he is young, pretty, blonde and able-bodied while MVK is a disabled old man.
No blorbo has ever gotten me more shit than this guy. It's so weird. I think he's funny and interesting and he makes me happy.

It crazy how itāll cut to a particular shot and I immediately know what iconic line is coming up or remembered how a thousand artists redrew this particular scene. It crazy how involved in this fandom I was lmao.
Oh my god I started rambling in the tags and I maxed out limit of tags. I guess in higher than I thought
I canāt believe I forgot about the hot lesbian squad in season 3 of Voltron
#2015-2018 was probably when I was most involved in fandom#you could maybe stretch it to 2014-2019#but now thereās just so much media that comes out and everything all drops at once#it doesnāt feel like you can ride a particular wave of everyone on a section of tumblr all get into the same thing at the same time#or all picking the same show of the season#like how Hamilton fandom became the heathers fandom became the dear Evan Hansen fandom which became the be more chill fandom#also how lots of yuri on ice fans became killing stalking fans and if im remembering correctly some others became Voltron fans#or maybe that was just me and my friends#or remember when people would edit a bunch of symbols from books and tv shows together into one big symbol#stuff like superwholock even#this isnāt an original thought but Iām just get nostalgic for a time where fandom felt different to me#there probably still are trends out there I just donāt keep up with them#Iāve been watching older stuff#also I had to be soley obsessed with fmab for like 2 years#I think thatās the fandom Iāve read the most fanfiction for#although maybe for deh Iāve read the most fics#but Iāve read the most words for fmab#the single longest fic Iāve read was for a fmab hp cross over#itās was over 600.000 words#I read it in a blur#i am actually not even sure if it was the cross over fic that was 650k if I think about it#I know I read one that was super fucking long#but it might of been the the bnha one that was that long#I read them close together and I remember them being long and some general details but itās a blur#when I read too many similar fanfic I get them all blurred together#but my anxiety and obsession wants the comfort of my favorite tropes and characters#but my adhd needs the slight variation of it being differently written#and donāt tell me youāre not all the same#although maybe not maybe Iām the weirdo for reading through every fic of a particular tag#and Iām not even talking about a ship tag although Iāve down that for small fandom rare pairs

was just thinking about how amazing it is that weird wonderful world and ghost files exist at the same time from the same company. you have the same minds, the same hosts, the same team and yet the shows are like day and night. www reminds us of the wonder and whimsy and joy all around us while ghost files showcases the world's darker side in its tragedies and horrors. and that they're able to execute both shows each with its own finely-tuned aesthetic and its own little universe is really a beautiful display of how much Talent and Love exists at watcher and it's so so special.
#i just picked out these two shows but the same could be said for so many others. that they even have so many to choose from is incredible.#really the show/season format of watcher is genius and they are so smart for thinking of that.#it lets them have so much variety in their content without getting themselves trapped in a box like they were at bf.#they can still hold onto the Ghoul Boys Spooky Vibe but also let their more lighthearted and wholesome sides show.#to borrow from miles. they are both spooky And cookie.#and it's cool to see other channels like the try guys pick up on the success of that and build it into their own channels in a way that's#not too different from what they were doing before.#grateful for it all. i love them and i love this community so much and i'm soso excited to see where we all go next.#watcher#weird wonderful world#ghost files#ahtw#ri.txt

Two thirds into the last episode of Shadow and Bone season 2 and I have one and only one question :
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Seriously, no. What the fuck is happening?????????????
Why are they pulling a Lauren Hirsch NOW after 6 solid episodes????
Episodes 1 to 6 made sense. They were good, coherent, fun and still true enough to Canon to be enjoyable.
Episoded 7 and 8 just threw out the entire saintsforsaken script out of the window and decided to go full AU, with some elements kept, some elements completely discarded and others moved around to early or to late in the timeline.
And I don't like it. It changes too much. It's not enjoyable anymore, not in the sense that the episode isn't entertaining to watch (I'm finally getting some Matthias screentime), but in the sense that it closes too many doors to tell future stories. It doesn't make sense, both inside the canon story, and inside the two-degrees-to-the-left alternate version thry had started to tell. The same way Lauren Hirsch fucked up The Witcher by completely changing the characters' personal timelines and the events of the story, the SaB team ft Bardugo also changed too much.
Yeah, if they had actually stopped season 2 at episode 6, and then kept following the events of the Ruin and Rising book with some prequel Six of Crows stuff, and made them into a 3rd season, it would have made more sense. And then give us the Six of Crows spin-off standalone show. (I demand an actual 6oC show, that actually follows the books, thanks)
Again, this is just my (and apparently the others too) opinion as a book-reader. I do wonder if none bookreaders who went into the show without knowing anything feel about season 2? Are you guys liking it, is it objectively good when one stops trying to reunite show with book?
Also they need to stop pushing Nikolai/Alina and Inej/Tolya, especially that second one, DO NOT BREAK KANEJ OR I WILL BURN YOU DOWN. And freaking give us Zoyalai ya cowards.
Okaaaaaay, as I was composing my review, I reached the end, and... the end of the episode makes as much bloody (see what I did there) sense as the beginning, that is to say: NONE.
STOP TRYING TO RUSH THE PLOT. The advantage of TV show is that you can take the time to establish your characters and your timeline of events. Stop. Trying. To. Make. Everything. Happen. At. The. Same. Time. Show is not movie!!!!! I'm getting upset now. Ugh. What a letdown. And it had started well.

Just saw someone complaining that Felix chose Argos as a name, when that name is incredible and just shows that Felix is well-read kid...
#Like don't get me wrong#For me anything that happened after middle season 4 isn't canon#But I'm definitely adopting Felix as a Greek mythology fan#The peafowl users are definitely the best picking names#Luka is on the same club as well#Since Viperion is an amazing name as well#miraculous ladybug#ml spoilers#You all definitely didn't see me posting about miraculous after dropping the show šš#š

Slams messy (and smudged) sketchbook art on table.
I have no explanation for these except
1. I have been and still am rotating a (self-indulgent) rewrite for MLB in my mind 2. These drawings vaguely relate to that rewrite 3. (Vague Noises)
I have no idea what time these things were drawnā excluding the last five since I drew those todayābecause I am that artist that does not date their sketchbook (oops).
#what if I make Manon obsess over show characters#my art#I like drawing Felix as gnc in gnc clothing a whole lot (if that wasnt obvious/j)#in regards to that little blurb of i did infact make little doodles of those characters#which is fun#As said above this rewrite is all for giggles for me. very self indulgent and if it's seen as dumb then š¤·#this rewrite chews on canon. spits it out. then proceeds to look the other way since ive onmt watched up to season 2 and ive barely watched#any episodes from those 2 seasons#so..#((anyway))#in my previous old art that 'little' infodump is still canon (or most of it is anyways) so i might remake it#as you can see. i cannot stick to one last name for Felix at all#we have gone from Culpa to Sphinx to Monet to Sphinx to Culpa to Finch to Agreste and now hav safely landed at '???'#rn im not sure what to go for since im deciding if i want Gabriel Agreste and/or Richard Sphinx to be apart of his rewrite#the same goes for Adrien and Nathan. Rn I dont want Gabriel(? or Richard) to be the father of Felix. but i might change that idk#will he have family problems? will he not? is he gonna be related to Gab/Richard? Will he be some guy?its like picking a paper from a hat#except the hat has a hole#its amazing when you can create the stories you want to see in the world.. except when *you* have to create them#anyway. watch this diverge from canon so hard#marinette dupain cheng#marinette cheng#felix culpa#felix sphinx#miraculous ladybug#mlb#miraculous ladybug tales of ladybug and chat noir#mlb au#gabriel agreste#manon chamack#mlb ladybug

IMO Star Trekās Prodigy and Lower Decks have the most excellent, engaging, and consistently entertaining writing of all of the modern Trek shows, and Iām quite glad given I think animation is a wonderful direction for Trek to go!
#star trek#star trek prodigy#star trek lower decks#*yes I'm aware good is subjective. Good to ME#Also the art and backgrounds are the absolute best of modern trek too#IMO most of modern live action trek is SO visually BORING most of the time#I love different things about all the modern trek shows just like I love different things about all the classic trek shows#yes even p*card. Season 1 was setting up something interesting and I am VERY salty season 2 didn't pick it up and will not be watching s3#my biggest complaint about lower decks is the same with most of the new trek shows- longer seasons jesus christ!#sick 2 DEATH of 10 episode seasons of shows!#me#kat gets personal

[H2O s2 spoilers] Charlotte has literally done nothing wrong up until now and yet the show STILL paints her as such a bad person in Pressure Cooker.
She admits if she knew Don was Cleo's dad she wouldn't have shown up and looks visibly uncomfortable (but still trying to be polite) when she realizes it's Cleo's house and has to sit there and watch Cleo openly be rude to her mother by giving away a gift bought as a gesture of goodwill.
Charlotte KNOWS Lewis and Cleo are talking about her and instead of being rude and nasty about it (LIKE CLEO WAS IN EPISODE 3 WHEN SHE MADE ASSUMPTIONS) is just like "yeah, your dad is really struggling right now, you probably wanna go back in there and help him..?" like OMG that was so sweet of her. Yeah she interrupted their conversation, but come on she was trying to be nice. Characters interrupt each other all the time on this show- it's a teen drama, that's how it works. Despite everything Cleo had already done to her, Charlotte was still looking out for her dad.
Then Charlotte accidentally knocks a thing of flour into Cleo and goes up to her room after Cleo storms off to personally apologize for even BEING THERE because she can tell Cleo is Absolutely Furious about her showing up, and openly asks her if she can spend time with/date Lewis because she understands the two of them were together and she SEES how Cleo is reacting, and CLEO GIVES HER THE GO-AHEAD, BUT STILL TREATS HER AWFULLY ANYWAY. She didn't HAVE to ask for permission, but she does anyway!! AFTER APOLOGIZING FOR SIMPLY SHOWING UP TO HER MOM'S WORK EVENT.
and THEN at the end of the episode Cleo is like "even if it IS Charlotte (who I hate for literally no reason other than she stood up for herself when I tried to shame her in public for hanging out with my ex-boyfriend who I broke up with), it's Lewis's choice" but then gives her an actual death glare at the very end of the episode when Charlotte is literally just looking at her and evil music swells all because Charlotte smiles. WHAT!!!!!
IF YOU WANTED ME TO HATE CHARLOTTE SO BAD WHY DID YOU MAKE CLEO SO UNREASONABLE AND MEAN THIS SEASON AND CHARLOTTE AN ACTUAL SWEETHEART WHO HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG OTHER THAN ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKING A BOWL OF FLOUR INTO SOMEONE AND PINING AFTER A GUY WHO IS- I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH- SINGLE!!!
anyway brb making a list of all the times the girls openly use their powers or are just straight-up reckless in public SOLELY IN SEASON 2 so i can compare it to them getting really mad at Charlotte and holding her to a huge double-standard because she used her powers to mess with Nate a little bit because HUUUUUUH??? if you have any examples hit me up because im currently doing a rewatch and im on ep 6 and already have a few... most notably Emma using her powers during the soccer game to dunk on a seven-year-old, but also Cleo using her powers at school to [checks notes] take a shortcut across a field with a sprinkler instead of just walking around. I have a few from memory as well that i just haven't gotten up to yet (like Emma and Rikki harassing Lewis at his job and almost getting him arrested because they left the gate open)
>>>>>oh i see... tumblr desktop does not warn you if you have over 30 tags. noted... rip my essay on how Lewis also isn't 100% in the right here [with Charlotte. with Cleo he did nothing wrong (being overbearing... ok i get it, but she could have sat him down and talked to him abt how she was feeling before immediately jumping to breaking up) and even took her aside more than once to ask her if she was okay, if this is what she really wanted, and where he stands with her- to which she lies to his face during and says everything's fine, she's just protecting the secret, she isn't jealous At All, she doesn't want to get back together] because he unintentionally is leading Charlotte on bc he's not communicating the best, and then when they DO get together he's clearly not as invested in their relationship as she is, or how Charlotte was kinda jumping the gun a little but while their relationship is kinda messy in itself, it just doesn't compare to how annoyed Cleo makes me this season, i won't lie. also i did rant about the marine park incident again. it still really bothers me lolol
#H2O: Just Add Water#H2O Just Add Water#H2O JAW#maybe im just not picking up on subtle facial cues but Charlotte is literally just a sweetheart in the first 90% of#this season. a sweetheart who also doesn't take shit from Cleo trying to embarrass her publicly and reading her diary.#you'd think Cleo would know how shitty it is to do that to a person given Kim did it to her but NO! SHE DOES IT ANYWAY!!#cleo is so immature in s2 it is SO embarrassing... especially the fishing rod bit... girl that is like 100 dollars at the cheapest!!!#i get she's the main character so she gets to get away with everything ever but MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN...!#i don't think she ever actually apologizes to lewis or charlotte for the way she acted in this episode. solely to annette so she could get#the business deal for her dad... it's so SO shitty of her. like oh my god charlotte apologizes and you can't even give her the same grace#also THE ROD THING!! you unspooled his entire line (sending this massive bout of fishing line into the ocean) and dragged it into the#water where he likely wouldn't be able to get it back. and he's still SOMEHOW willing to show up to your house to speak in person and u#don't even give him the time of day to Actually Listen because you are being SO IMMATURE about EVERYTHING#Cleo you literally did ALL OF THIS TO YOURSELF!!!! PLEASE GET A GRIP GIRL!!!!#YOU broke up with Lewis. YOU embarrassed yourself trying to call Charlotte out and she stood up for herself. YOU threw a total fit over#Lewis and Charlotte fishing together to the point he felt it was necessary to talk to you in person. WTF!!!!!! <- angry#aaaAAAAAAAAA-#this is what i MEANT when i said I CAN'T WATCH SEASON 2 WITHOUT GETTING ANGRY!!! I C A N ' T#also minor thing but Emma being so OOC in this episode she doesn't try to stop them from harassing Annette and Charlotte with their magic#THAT IS OBSCENE EMMA WOULD'VE PUT A STOP TO THAT BEHAVIOR IMMEDIATELY!!! INSTEAD SHE JUST GOES ALONG WITH IT#as if Emma wouldn't be very willing to give Charlotte a chance after everything she saw Cleo do like 3 episodes ago reading her diary and#snooping on her life because she's 'sus' when she literally isn't she just has a crush on Cleo's ex-boyfriend#who. and i cannot emphasize this enough. CLEO BROKE UP WITH IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!#why does it take until EPISODE <S I X> FOR CLEO TO REALIZE *SHE* BROKE UP WITH LEWIS SO SHE'S TREATING HIM UNFAIRLY???#SDKJGHKAFJGHAKLJHGKLJH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#im fine im fine.#spoilers#H2O spoilers#H2O JAW spoilers#H2O Just Add Water spoilers

Me, every time I buy my season ticket for the state theatre company: urgh like $250 eight play package comes out to $32 per show, and thatās for the Under 30 concession, like no wonder itās just industry peeps and old people who see theatre these days
Me, deciding Iām finally going to see some ballet and opera this year: okay, so the season package isā¦ Jesus Christ Why Is This Twice The Money For Half The Shows. Why does the opera not have Under 30 or even youth tickets. Youāre breaking the cost down by show, youāre showing it to me, why is this one where the music is prerecorded twice the price of this one where music live half the time and the same price as one where itās only recorded music for matinee. Are instrumentalists not your biggest cost?? Is personnel not your biggest cost?????
#NOTICE FOR IF THIS POST BREACHES CONTAINMENT: I work in + am getting PhD in performing arts#unfortunately keeping up to date with the ~scene~ is part of my job#with that said#to be fair and balanced I got a further discount on my shows bc I got a refund from last years cancelations which means#*refund on my theatre package#five ballet shows was exactly double the price I paid#(once Iād gotten the U30 discount which was not initially visible)#and the childrenās ballet (so cheapest) was still $45!!#pros of opera: season package allows you the same % discount on whatever type of seat#(ballet itās 15-20% off second tier tickets which does make it marginally cheaper than just getting the worst tier seats but likeā¦ cāmon )#so opera was four shows for around $50 a piece BUT they were all me picking the worst tier of seating and being full time student#and again they played the mind came of knocking $10-20 off when I got to the end and said of was a student (i.e. tickets were $60-70)#*mind game#also at my state theatre company if you have the full eight show package you can basically call and be like āš„ŗ can I move my ticketā#and theyāll just do it#in my experience ballet is like āyou paid $90 for a student ticket but fuck youā#(to be clear I mean move the date youāre seeing the show)#and where the company has teired seating the season tickets get the best seats for their night on a first come first served basis#anyway capitalism was a mistake UBI now and subsidise the arts#(like these are all the state companies so I guess I mean Subsidise It More)#it me

Graham Hancock: How do you explain the presence of "visionary" brews all over the world if not by invoking a lost ancient civilization that spread its knowledge across the world?
Me: People like to get high? People use drinks and foods that intoxicate them for fun? Just like today?
Graham Hancock: Well, how can you explain the presence if geometric art all over the world?
Me: My dude, have you ever seen someone doodle? Have you ever tried to decorate something? I'm no artist and I have no sense for design whatsoever but I will inevitably end up making a geometric design. It's just neat.
Graham Hancock: But what about their obsessions with the sky and the milky way?!?
Me: My dude, seriously. Have you ever been in a place with low or no light pollution at night? Have you seen the milky way? Shit is fascinating. If I would see that every night, I would study the shit out of it.
#people have always been people#graham hancock#he's no archeologist#I've just binge watched season 2#it's so ludicrous it's fascinating#like a trainwreck#I can't look away#if I had a shot everytine he says 'mainstream archeology' I would be dead#everybody with an ounce of historical/archeological education and a minimum of critical thinking should be able to look through his cherry#should be able to look through his cherry picking racist bullshit#it makes me so mad but at the same time I could watch that show all day long#ancient apocalypse

the op of jjk season 2 is rife with symbolism. there's one particular motif, however, that foreshadows the trajectory (and tragedy) of gojo and geto's love story.
almost immediately, we see geto running through the rain. the stylistic choice to portray him holding his bag over his head is deliberate, because it emphasizes what he conspicuously doesnāt have but so clearly needs: an umbrella.
gojo, on the other hand, is not operating with the same sense of urgency, seen through him taking his time looking at a cat. gojo has what geto needs, but he's not rushing. their behaviour is incongruous; geto is hurrying to get out of the rain, and gojo remains still, because heās absolutely not hurrying at all.
the sense of urgency is compounding, seen through geto bouncing his leg. heās waiting impatiently in the rain, and he's not using his bag to cover up his head anymore. geto knows gojo is coming; that's why he's impatientā because he's waiting for someone who has what he needs that hasnāt shown up yet.
geto needs him, yet gojo doesnāt pick up the pace. this is despite the fact that he needs to because itās raining and geto doesnāt have an umbrella. we, as the audience, feel geto's impatience and we're urging gojo on, yet he still doesn't go any faster.
sharing an umbrella is an established trope in japan. itās widely recognized and practiced enough to have its own designated terminology.
gojo is bringing an umbrella for them to share. that's why itās repeatedly reinforced to the audience that geto doesn't have one. thatās also why the shots cut between them; it highlights what gojo has that geto doesnāt, and in doing so, ties the narrative together through the umbrella.
by the time gojo finally shows up, the sun has come out. gojo lowers the umbrella and smiles sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. contrarily, geto almost seems resigned, like heās accepted the fact that gojo took too long. they canāt share the umbrella anymore because they missed their chance to use it.
we can see that geto is saying something to gojo when he finally shows up with the umbrella. you know what i would bet actual money it probably was?
āyouāre late, satoru.ā
