#season rankings

[michelleelizabethtanner]

how would you rate the seasons in terms of brio content for you personally?

i think mine would be 4,2,3,1

season 3 gets a bad rap but theres still a lot of good moments with them there

I like your lineup, Anon! And I agree, season 3 is a beautifully angsty season that really drags Brio over the glass shards of their broken relationship to some important realizations and permanent changes to deepen their bond.

My season preferences of Brio content changes almost daily. Depending on mood. There’s just so much to love (and feel frustrated about) in every season! I guess today, my order is like this:

Season 2:

It’s the pivotal Brio season. It really brings into reality what had been only fantasy. Both for the characters and for the viewers. Brio crossed an enormously important line from which they can never come back. Up until their actual sexual entanglement, it was all just pretend. They could have walked away from each other, or killed each other, or any number of relationship-ending scenarios… And it would have stayed over. The events between 2.04, 2.09, and 2.13 cemented them together. There was no going back after that and their bond was forged.

Season 3:

This was one of their most intimate seasons! Sure, it’s angsty. But it’s also full of so much honesty. We see just how far they’re each willing to go in the name of each other. Love or hate – all the hurt and death was done as a sacrifice at the altar of Brio. (I stole that from someone on Reddit.) I think this is when we really see Beth’s transformation into Elizabeth. We see her ability to survive without Rio (or without anyone, really), and her ruthless adaptability. And yet we also see her deep deep want to be seen. A need, really. In 3.06, the way she seeks Rio out to unload onto him. The way she needs him because she has no one else who’s seen behind her mask. It’s downright poetic. I live for their angry bench scene. It’s so intimate. Their second most intimate scene.

Season 4:

There is a lot to love about the first half of this season, as well as the last two episodes. Watching Brio’s forgiveness of each other, and their coming back together is so satisfying. We were given so much! There was a lot wrong, too. The pacing of their relationship and how mercurial Rio was without giving us enough insight into why he was swinging so wildly between emotions was really jarring and I wish the show would have contextualized him better. There were too many mental gymnastics that were needed to really explain all his levels of hurt and anger, mixed with his vulnerability and honesty. Beth stayed pretty straightforward, but that’s because Beth was given endless humanity while we had to only guess at who Rio really was. And while I love their road back to each other, I really mourn what this season could have been for them emotionally.

Season 1:

This is a really cute, innocent season for Brio. Everything here is fantasy. They don’t really know each other, but we can all tell they’re intrigued and attracted. It’s the “good old days.” The simple life. There were still mysteries between them, assumptions made about each other. While I love to watch their flirtation become a part of their relationship, and I love to see their fascination that’s becoming an obsession, this isn’t my favorite dynamic for them. I like the complicated, the painful, the gritty messy reality of who they are. And them choosing each other anyway.

How could you order the Shameless seasons from best to worst

I probably liked four the most followed by five, then three, two, one. Anything without Mickey was trash. So I’ll say seven next, followed by six, nine, and eight because they were Mickey-light and/or heavy on the bad storylines for Ian. Then ten and eleven, because even though Gallavich were back together, I wasn’t a fan of how dumbed down the show had gotten by then.

Can I talk about sugar for a second? Like all of the berzatto children are tragic and doomed by the narrative in their own right, but nat’s story means so such to me idk if I can even fully talk about it all. We see her relationship with her mom is strained at best, it seems like she’s the least favorite child, maybe BECAUSE of her existence as a woman.

And then we find out that her lifelong nickname is based off of a childhood mistake, her being overeager to help her family literally turned into a lifelong reminder of her fuck up. Is there anything more tragic?? A child wanting love but getting scorn?? And then it makes the flashback scene where she tries to add raisins in season 1 all the more upsetting because why did she add them?

“That’s how mom makes it.” she’s the only one that still follows their mom’s recipe. The reason? Could be anything. But I have no doubt in my mind if she DIDN’T add the raisins if Donna had been around she would’ve been ridiculed even more.

I have such a soft spot in my heart for girls and their complex relationships with their moms and motherhood, and it makes her scene with cicero in the car that much more impactful. When cicero says he would let his kids make more mistakes and not been as careful, i almost started crying. Nat has a nickname from her mistakes and it seems like in her mom’s eyes she’s nothing but mistakes. And then her uncle tells her that she’ll be a good mother and that it’s okay for kids to make mistakes, great, even.

I’m so happy nat is in a place where she’s happy and supported. She has a husband who deeply understands her family and doesn’t judge her for it, even making an effort to try and include Donna. I was kind of meh about pete before season 2, but it solidified for me that he’s so so good for nat and a great character. He is so excited to be a dad, he’s patient and kind with her and her family, and he doesn’t call her sugar.

She’s nat. And she’s allowed to make mistakes.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER 7x01 | “Lessons” 

[ittybittyluci]

So y’all remember this scene right?

From Helluva Boss S2 E7? When Mammon threatened Ozzie. And how EVERYONE was freaking out and so scared cuz they though Asmodeus was gonna get in trouble for his relationship,

But, now I’m looking back and I’m like… why IS he gonna regret it. He’ll get public backlash sure, but eventually everyone’s gonna have to get over it. He’s a Sin. He’s the main sex toy manufacturer in Hell. I don’t think ppl are gonna care enough to boycott. They’re too desperate.

The only people that outrank him are the royal family. And like… in all actuality, who’s gonna get mad at him?

This bitch?!

Please!

It shocked me to find out that people will completely skip season 1 in their ATLA rewatches. The season gets a little too much flak imo. Is it a little more childish than S2 and S3? Maybe! But so many important moments and setups are established in that season, and in terms of story and pacing, it’s one of the strongest seasons right next to S2 imo!

Leo's "first" ball after her first season. nearly ended in bloodshed before it even started...

[clfixationstation]

okay, it is kind of pissing me off when people insist Vi went with the Enforcers because she wanted to join them and side with Piltover and move up in society, and not because it was the only vehicle available for her to go after Jinx and solve the problem she created

(also, Vi does not want to kill her sister: she is driven by guilt. Vi feels she has a duty to stop further destruction and death from the monster she thinks she created. Jinx told Vi that her sister is gone and only Jinx, the monster, remains, and Vi believed her. After s2ep3, I don't think either of them believe that anymore)

Vi still detests the Enforcers. You can plainly see on her face (and through her words!) that she does not want to be there. She just wants to get this over with.

if anything, Vi was trying to support Caitlyn, who is one of the only familiar things she has in her life at this moment. Her family is dead, she thinks her sister is gone, and the Undercity is barely recognizable to her - but Caitlyn was there. So, Vi took a gamble on sticking with Caitlyn, the seemingly sweet girl from Piltover who has sympathy for the Undercity, sees Vi's good heart, and helped Vi when she didn't need to.

Vi resigned herself to join Cait's enforcers, compromising her morals, hoping to be a positive influence. But the second she made a decision for herself, the second she stopped Cait from shooting a child, Caitlyn discarded her

she's lost, trying to find her footing wherever she can. Vi has been scrambling to attach herself to any scrap of familiarity since escaping Stillwater, and now she's left alone, in the dark, again
