The reason why Netflix is loosing so much money is because they keep canceling shows. Im so serious. This happens every couple of months and it makes me less and less inclined to start new shows. People dont want to start watching things they already know are not going to complete their runtime. Finish your shows before making new ones! Thats how you get your fucking money!

How it feels knowing jancy is endgame in s5

I've seen some folks criticise the Decameron (the Netflix show) for not being "authentic" and "accurate" enough for

being too colourful

being too horny

being too silly and not serious enough when it comes to the subject of death and pandemic...

To which I would like to say they've clearly never looked into actual medieval history, culture and literature.

*Isha’s still dead*

*Timebomb gains canon status, in an AU-style fanfic where Powder never became Jinx, but Firelight!Ekko ends up losing HIS JINX*

*Heimerdinger evaporates himself for Ekko and his little dog is nowhere to be found*

*Caitlyn and Vi make up and consummate their love, but they do it in the same dirty cell her sister was wasting away in seconds ago*

*Mel has her own storyline and is still somehow sidelined by the useless Science Bromance plot*

*Jinx and Vi finally reconcile and act like loving sisters again, only for Jinx to sacrifice herself and fall to her “quote-on-quote” death*

Me at the end of my rope, staring blankly into the abyss, contemplating whether I should laugh or cry (more than I already have, mind you) OR drown myself more into the depths of Archive of Our Own:

🎶 I wanna drink alcohol, I wanna ruin my liver 🎶

shonda rhimes, a black woman, staying MUTE when the POC actors/actresses in bridgerton (rege, simone, ruby, masali, charithra, victor, martins and emma) have received vile racist abuse and harassment yet she only defended *checks notes* nicola coughlan, a white woman….

I’m gonna spam these Netflix bastards to shit to renew, I wanna make these old men cry and rock in a corner regretting every life decision that led up to this one

[strangertheories]

I hate studio execs more than studio execs hate renewing shows with lesbians in them

It’s fascinating to me that ppl think Aang wasn’t “running away” in natla

He leaves the temple to take a break, but we have no idea how far he would have gone or when he’d planned to come back if the storm had not hit. Either way, he left because the thought of being the avatar - and being separated from Gyatso — was too overwhelming (running away, however temporarily, from his duty)

He doesn’t learn waterbending because Gyatso was the only one who’d ever taught him and he’s not ready to let someone else do it. This is running away

He begs Kuruk to control him in the avatar state so he doesn’t have to figure things out on his own. Idk how ppl can’t grasp this is running away

On the flip-side Aang choosing to surrender to the ocean spirit and become “rage” is neither a pointless thing nor does it remove his agency. It’s different from what he does when he begs Kuruk to take control or allows Kyoshi control.

Aang chooses to become one with the Ocean Spirit because he feels he has failed too many times and there is no place for him in this world. He chooses this option because he knows he can’t control the avatar state, because he’s not the Avatar ppl wanted. He chooses it because he believes that even if he can’t save a world that deems him unnecessary, he can at least save the NWT and stop the fleet

The fact that Aang truly becomes lost to the Ocean Spirit in natla, instead of just getting help from the spirit, makes this choice even more poignant. The fact that Katara helps him return to himself (as well as Yue’s sacrifice) is also incredibly important

Aang was ready to give up everything because he believed he had nothing else to offer the people of this war-torn world. And it was the ppl - especially Katara, who truly believed in him and what he can do— who saves him

I’ve seen ppl complain about natla so much and accuse it of poor writing, no nuance, no complexity blah blah. But the fact so many ppl seem to miss the subtleties of the characters’ arcs in the show suggests to me you did actually need it spelled out

Like I do not think the show is perfect or the writing as tight as it could be. I feel that certain arcs needed to be explored more to execute them better. But I’m sick to death of seeing post after post acting like natla is all “no growth and everything handed to the characters” when original cartoon literally has Aang beat Ozai with a deus ex machina lion turtle and a conveniently placed rock

I think if Adora read any of the stuff you guys write about Catra she would be so mad.

And might I just add, anti-Catradora fanfics which portray Adora as being terrified of Catra don't make any sense to me because it's pretty clear that, at the start of the show and when Catra joins the rebellion, Adora is in fact the MOST comfortable around her.

Hate when people put things in tags that have nothing to do with the tag. I go into the Mel tag for Mel. If I wanted to see Jinx I would go into the Jinx tag. Don't make me block you.

Everyone only wants to talk about Edwin but can we just talk about Charles for a second? Charles “The Brawn” Rowland?

He lived a protector, he died a protector, he afterlifes as a protector. Is that cementing for you? Protected his mom, from the brunt of his dad’s aggression, protected a schoolmate from his own ‘friends’, protects Edwin how he can, to the point that Edwin doesn’t want to even bother learning self-defense, apparently a decades old argument.

But then they have Crystal. It was Charles’ idea, but now he has another to protect. Someone alive. Even though its what Edwin has been telling him, it hits him encountering Esther, when him and Edwin are blown away, she can see them, she has iron, he can’t protect them and Crystal is mortal in a way he hadn’t really considered until then, and does the very thing he warned against!

Then Niko shows up and almost dies before they even get to know her, and he wouldve been powerless to save her if not for Crystal’s gambit. And then he is trapped in a different ending to his life, watching people (mothers, daughters, people he is meant to protect) die over and over and he is again powerless, in a familiar way and it worms its way under his skin, just watching. Watching had always been a great wrong to him (his mother had only watched, his schoolmates and teachers had only watched, Edwin’s schoolmates and teachers only watched, and done nothing, and to varying degrees, he hated them for it) but now its all he can do, and its killing him. He knows the Cat King rattled Edwin but he doesnt know why, he can’t help Crystal with an abuser in her head; he’s a protector, and all he’s doing is failing lately.

His friends notice something is wrong. They poke and prod at something he’d rather forget. He’s on edge and just wants to go home and leave this fucking place and then the Night Nurse shows and they thought something was going well for Crystal finally and instead its another thing he fucked up coming back to bite him and Edwin.

The Night Nurse is Charles’ personal bogeyman. If not Death, then any other power that could separate him and Edwin. To break the peace he found. To take the happiness he made, only after he died. To take Edwin back to Hell, where he doesn’t belong, and to be taken to his own Hell he’s convinced he deserves. This is the battle he and Edwin have been preparing for for over 30 years, the inevitable Fight For Their Afterlife, and he’s ready.

But the Night Nurse does something he doesn’t expect, and tap dances on all of his trauma to bait him into listening to her, she shoves all of his failures in his face and mocks him in his abuse and in his death. So in his hurt and panic and anger and fear and despair and desperation he Protects.

But he turns around, and his friends are looking at him in horror and fear, like his mother used to look standing vigil over his abuse, like the boy he defended looked at his ‘friends’. His greatest fear from his life, that he thought he left behind in favor of losing Edwin comes to light: becoming his father.

Basically, Charles Rowland:

Rip to Vi but if my little sister went evil and started murdering people I'd still love and support her and her hobbies 🥰
