man, the world seems terrible and full of bad things, and then you read about the Chicagoan who started developing ramen recipes with meticulous (even obscene) attention to detail, or an Irish hurler who decried state-sponsored spending for sports complexes live on air, or well-considered analyses of films or animated television shows and whether they are narratively/dramatically coherent, and it's....well, it's okay to be here. I like it here.
#(imagine a narrator) ''well folks....it's that time....''#''find a special news site - that frequently updated lady''#''and tell her how much you love her. how much you care.''#[a tinny discordant waltz in punishingly slow 3/4 time wails]#(though I will say that article about the animated tv show reads you for FILTH if you've been on tumblr long enough#do you remember being here in 2014? well. buckle up.)#also the atlantic had a surprisingly affective article about the 1910s and grappling with the legacy of the civil war tbh#oh and there's a handful of nava//lny obituaries and articles that are very incisive and good.#I really just like news. when it's good it's very good.

I cannot be the only book Warlock enjoyer out there. I know he's a very small part of the story, but even without the Adam's first friends addition you've got:
"I just don't see why everyone and everything has to be burned up and everything," Adam said... even if you win, you can't really beat the other side, because you don't really want to. I mean, not for good. You'll just start all over again. You'll just keep on sending people like these two," he pointed to Crowley and Aziraphale, "to mess people around. It's hard enough bein' people as it is, without other people coming and messin' you around."
and
Crowley grabbed Aziraphale's arm. "You know what happened?" he hissed excitedly. "He was left alone! He grew up human! He's not Evil Incarnate or Good Incarnate, he's just… a human incarnate—"
Warlock is the most messed around person -possibly ever, definitely in modern history- and it was him being messed around that left Adam in peace to grow up a human incarnate and save the world. He's a cosmological whipping boy. If he sucks he sucks specifically because Crowley and Aziraphale are bad at educating children and that's very funny to me. They did that! Obviously in the show it's more intense/interesting because they did that in person, it's borderline deliberate baby acquisition, and then after they spend years looking after him they contemplate murdering him, but even in the book he's the recipient of their dubious godfathering efforts and even though he's stubbornly a normalish stem kid that probably left a mark. this kid was given every opportunity to be the most ridiculously specific flavour of catholicore goth and rejected it all in favour of being one of maybe three people living in england who cares about baseball. Aziraphale and Crowley took a human child and taught him to enjoy artificial banana flavouring. that's on them.
#tbh i think it's very in character for them to not care very much about that in the book#he's in america: whatever!#but i still think it's fun#if you simply don't care about children that could not be more valid but warlock is conceptually funny in every universe#incidentally am i right that thinking about murdering warlock is a tv show special? if i remember correctly crowley and aziraphale#only ever think about murdering adam in the book#good omens#warlock dowling

Four Characters
I was tagged by @sassyandsodone
Rules: make a poll with four of your all time favorite characters and then tag four people to do the same. See which is your followers' favorite
(I'm going to cheat and not include the Obvious One™ because we know he'd win. This is just me exposing my earlier obsessions...and Shovel. She has a special place in my heart.)
I tag (no pressure): @firlionemoontav, @luniidae, and whoever wants to do it <3
#Oberyn because I remember thinking it was really cool how he was canonically bi and I hadn't seen much of that on TV back then#Shovel because I just love the pure gremlin energy she exudes#Tywin because...Charles Dance#Astarion will always have a special place in my heart. It's all Neil Newbon's fault that I even started playing BG3

Our family gatherings always end the same damn way...
#since my mom is visiting we decided to go over to grandma's since they haven't seen each other in 7 years#and my aunt came over as well#my aunt randomly remembered that they're showing a rerun of MC on tv nowadays#so grandma turned it on#we didn't watch much but discussed every character. more or less#MC is the show that ties this whole family together. the one thing we can bond over#which is why it will always hold a special place in my heart <3#I don't have the energy for long rambles since I didn't sleep too well last night#but I could talk about this show for ages..#magnificent century#muhteşem yüzyıl

i need to learn to bake something new as everyone at work already knows i'm bringing them some carrot cake on friday....
#as some of u may have heard several times this month or any time the number 22 is mentioned its my bday on friday#so im baking something to bring to work#and i can bake more than just carrot cake#i think ive brought brownies to work more often than carrot cake. and ive also dabbled in chocolate chip oat cookies#and mokkapalat.#and yet#i saw my boss today and she jokingly was like ''haha i guess we'll be getting some carrot cake on our big planning meeting on friday''#which. hold on just to preface this i actually like my boss and she has my best interests in mind and shes v nice.#anyways i didnt even tell her id be baking smh. i mean i always bake something for work when theres a special occassion but still#and howd she guess it was carrot cake. ok probably bc thats my fave but still#i know i have a complaining tone in here but i think its funny and silly#i know i'm a predictable person but sometimes it manifests in weird ways#i did not know my carrot cake baking was THAT predictable#oh. i was thinking of going to the liquor store on fri bc its a tradition of mine and they have a new#cant remember if it was white or red but anyways some type of new seasonal flavor of wine glögg#i think regular glögg is superior but man can you imagine a red wine glögg with carrot cake#cozy spices...#especially since my carrot cake recipe is very winter-y as it has cinnamon and clove in it#i usually love lighting candles and getting cozy on the sofa as soon as the days get short#but i havent done that yet this year#can u imagine. little lights and candles on. red wine glögg and carrot cake. sitting on the sofa under a blanket.#watching something on the tv.#would love to read but its not ideal in candlelight#i usually like having a big light on bc i like to see but it's nice being in a dimly lit room when its dark anyways#leevi talks

i know its probably more rich american culture than rich japanese culture, but i think seto should give transfem mokuba a fucking insane and huge sweet 16 party
like maybe its not long after she comes out and he wants to make her feel special and give her some gender euphoria (with a side of a big old fuck you to the media) so he just goes all out, spending thousands on whatever dresses she wants, a whole crown to top her look off, makes it a private concert with her favorite bands/singers, holograms and light shows everywhere because seto kaiba would not be caught dead planning a party without them, and he runs himself ragged trying to make it as perfect as possible because he loves her and would do anything for her
(honestly she'd be fine with just a day out at the fair or something, but she wont complain about getting a sick ass party and private concert)
#im on a transfem mokuba kick lately#canon to me#mokuba and yugi transfem and transmasc solidarity#i also love transmasc seeto#but i like cis seto being the biggest supporter and ally and putting a lot of effort in#i think its sweet#her worrying over telling him but hes just like#'why would i care what gender you are as long as you're happy?'#and she just breaks down crying cuz she loves her big brother#also for those who dont know what a sweet 16 is#cuz idk if other places have them#its something that is usually more for girls and is basically like a 'coming of age' party type thing#just a day to make them feel special#usually its more of a middle class/rich thing tho i think#and i remember there was a whole show on tv showcasing the craziest sweet 16s#they get fucking WILD#anyway#yugioh#seto kaiba#mokuba kaiba#devo speaks

I'm not really watching season 2 of Lioness but imagine how funny it would be if this happened:
"I don't want to talk about it," Joe grunts, glaring into space. She holds up a warning finger, even though she knows it's probably useless. "I dont - I don't want to talk about it."
She can feel Kaitlyn staring at the side of her head, and it prickles against her, makes her want to scrunch her elbows up against her ears. She doesn't flinch, of course. That's a weaknesses she hasn't allowed herself in years.
"This doesn't mean anything. It's not a pattern," she continues.
Joe sneaks a look at Kaitlyn. There's a smug, knowing look on her face that shouldn't be there. Because this is nothing. Maybe if she believes it hard enough she'll stop wanting to scream. There's this mortifying embarrassment crawling up her neck, slick with exasperation. Because the fucking mission. And the way the missions go sideways because of this fucking problem, this quirk that keeps popping up at the shittiest of times.
It's not about the meat of it, the emotions and actions behind what's happening. She does not have the time to be worried about that shit, although maybe she should the way this is going.
It's the fact that it gets messy and Joe ends up in a fire fight and a daring water escape. She doesn't fucking want to know what kind of high octane goddamn rescue she'll have to pull off this time.
She has a migraine. She's had a migraine since Mallorca, and for a second she really thought she'd get a break.
She's never been lucky like that.
"Sure. It’s nothing," Kaitlyn says, a perfect eyebrow arching in a way that definitely doesn't make Joe grit her teeth. Doesn’t make her want to bite down and crack that perfect facade. "The fact that your new lioness is trailing kisses up and down the target's neck definitely isn't evidence that you seem to have some sixth sense for lesbians. A legendary feat of - what do the children call it - gaydar or whatever."
If it wasn't so frustrating, it'd be hilarious. Joe can admit that. As it stands, though, Joe needs a drink. Or five.
She rubs her temples, letting a breath rush out of her nose in a harsh burst. She /has/ to be more careful next time. Kaitlyn will never let her live it down if it happens again.
(I wrote this in like 30 min so forgive any mistakes lol)
#Sorry Joe/hates/ that she finds Kaitlyn attractive. It pisses her off and that just makes it hotter.#Yes I make everyone into lesbians why do you ask#kaitlyn's name was just ______ for the entire draft#Because I couldn't remember her fucking character's name lmao#Anyways this little crack fic broke me out of my writers block a bit#lioness#lioness tv#special ops: lioness#my fics#Tbh now that I'm thinking about Kaitlyn and Joe together#I kinda see it#This was supposed to be a joke oh no#Now I'm thinking about their dynamics

i’ll sing the owl house’s praises till the day i die because not only is it a damn good show, but because as someone who grew up in the era of queerness being stuck in subtext, this is a show i would’ve died to have as a child/baby lesbian
#like genuinely i sobbed seeing lumitys second kiss#because the most overt queerness i saw as a kid was malec in the shadowhunters tv show & that was it#i vividly remember staying over at my mamaws & watching the lok series finale & korrasami only being allowed to hold hands in the last shot#i would have done ANYTHING for a show this queer & neurodivergent as a kid. hell even as an early teen#i was so starved of rep that seeing it now as an adult makes me sob. ESPECIALLY if the rep is coming from a kids show#& it’s so special to me that my sister has shows like toh at her disposal to watch whenever she pleases#the owl house#toh

not to be talking about hairspray again, but when i first watched it my friend showed it to me and she also played the special features from her dvd and one of them was a video of Mama I'm a Big Girl Now (notably a song NOT featured in the movie version but is played during the credits) with the three actresses who have played Tracey (1988 movie, original broadway cast, 2007 movie). but i cant find it ANYWHERE on the internet and i'm so frustrated. i know it exists because i asked my friend and she also remembers it existing
#okay and i looked up the dvd she would have had and it is not even listed on the special features when it should be#im just so ??? i know this is a thing that exists i remember watching it on my friend's tv 15 years ago

one thing i’m really realizing about tv-watching lately is that i’m reaching a point where i can’t hold all these shows in my head. it takes so long to have a new season come out that i’ve forgotten all the details of what happened in the previous season unless it’s a show i’ve watched multiple times, which it’s usually not. then i feel like i’m doing wrong by the show by not rewatching the previous season(s) so i can watch the new one as the creators intended it to be watched, with all the emotional threads from the previous season getting picked up and returned to. like, i want those things to HIT the way they’re intended to, but usually they don’t for me in this tv-watching model because it’s been so long that i don’t remember the details of what’s going on or how i was feeling about everything going on on the show where it last left off. i can’t shake the feeling that i need to rewatch the whole show before the new season so it can register with me correctly ... but there are only so many hours in a day, i can’t do that for every single show i watch that drops a new season every year or every couple of years!
tl;dr this is why i am dreaming of majorly cutting down on the amount of tv i watch. my brain just can’t take it in this current format! there are already so many new seasons of shows i loved that i just haven’t seen for this reason. i find myself actively craving, like, limitations to my viewing so i don’t feel like my brain is going to explode. often i daydream of canceling all my streaming services except pbs passport and getting really into antiques road show and this old house.
#being a tv person in the 2020s babe!!!!!!#like -- i loved the first two seasons of servant SO MUCH#i was crazy about it#but then we tried to pick up s3 and i couldn't remember what had happened before#so everything felt off#(i think i might actually start servant again from the beginning since there will be two new seasons waiting for me at this point)#and i never watched recent seasons of you or the flight attendant or harley quinn or russian doll or so many more i could list#just because ... i can't remember!!!!!#currently having a bit of a tough time with his dark materials s3 for this reason#also rewatching 30 rock has me so aware of how much i miss when a show would be part of most of your year#like -- there's the 3/4 month break over the summer#but for most of your year you're getting new content with those characters#man i miss that!#that was really special and i really feel the loss of it#it was so much easier to follow a series that way#anyway this has been my overwhelmed tv ramble!#goodnight!!#dollsome's deep thoughts
