[mineashthetrash]

Posting this separately from the rest for tw reasons

It's been a long time since ive read the first book of quests, but from what I remember, if Alex wasn't in a kids book he would be slamming back shots every night. Poor guys fucking depressed. On the other side, I headcannon Aaron as being heavily adverse to drinking, which is kinda funny because he's literally killed people.

we need more fan art and fan fiction in the fandom please guys i'm begging

[widowshill]

the people aren't ready to hear this but angelique arbitrarily picking quentin to decide to be in love with out of nowhere, bewitching roger into marriage and then absolutely not wanting him to touch her, and constantly pursuing men's (chiefly barn's) attention only when it's clear he doesn't want her, is soooo comp het of her.

Rating Unwanteds ships

Note: this is just my opinion and I do not mean to offend anyone, you can ship whoever you want to ship, it does not effect me. This is just for fun and my opinion.

Sky x Alex: 6/10 Why: so in general I don’t think Lisa McMann is good at writing romantic relationships in general. She, in my opinion, does not understand how to do ‘show and not tell’ when it comes to writing romance.

This ship, while interesting in idea, does not do so well in execution. Lisa McMann most of the time has to tell us that Sky and Alex like each other and they spend most of their time going on a will they won’t they. It drags on for such a lone time and it is a bit annoying. Still, if I had to give it one thing, it’s cute and when they have cute moments, I can’t help but smile.

Kaylee x Aaron: 6.5/10 why: Just like Sky and Alex, good idea but poor execution. I understand that it was the last book and Lisa McMann had to do a lot of things in onto a few pages, when Kaylee and Aaron did interact, it was mostly told to us then shown. What makes me like ships is the chemistry they have. Kaylee and Aaron didn’t have as much chemistry as I’d wish. Though, they get slightly more points because they don’t do will they or won’t they. I also like the idea of Aaron finding someone who doesn’t immediately have bad impressions on him and doesn’t expect the worst.

Sam x Alex: 5.9/10 Why: I can see it. I’ve always seen them more as friends but if Lisa McMann went on twitter and said that they got together, I wouldn’t mind at all.

Lani x Sam: 5/10 Why: Again, LOVE THE CONCEPT, HATE THE EXECUTION. I love the concept of them getting close while they are stuck on Warbler and having a connection they can’t have with anyone else. However, we barely see them interacting after book three. At least with Sky and Alex and Kaylee and Aaron we got bits of them being cute.

Lani x Alex: 3.5/10 Why: I see them more as friends, if you were talking to me when I first read book 1, I’d say they were cute. Reminds me of puppy love. Innocence before the storm. But again, they are just friends .

Lani x Meghan: 7/10 Why: I don’t remember as much as interactions between the two, but the ones I do, they are cute. These two are cute. Again, if one day Lisa McMann said on twitter they are dating one day, I wouldn’t mind it.

And if you are wondering about Unwanteds Quest ships, my friend read the books before me and personally told me not to read them. She said they were bad and ripped the pages from her books(she got in big trouble for this), so I’m going to keep the good memories I have of this series and not read them.

I told myself I was done tormenting my kind and non-Riverdale-watching mutuals, and besides, I am too old and weathered for this fandom anyway, but really, the final, final thoughts on this finale and season as a whole:

First, and separately, does anything that happened after the characters got their memories back make sense? What was the point of it? They seemed completely unaffected by anything and happy to roleplay 50s teens. Were they even teens? Were they twenty-somethings sticking around high school like the vampires from Twilight for no explicable reason? Also, I'm sorry if you want to play the sentimental card, but if I was one of a handful of people who had traveled back in time and was stuck living in the past for 60 years or what have you, I would not lose contact with the others who also had. You would go insane! What did Archie tell his Modesto wife and child? Was Veronica picking up options on scripts she already knew would win Oscars? Did Jughead and Betty rewrite old issues of Mad and Ms. they might have read in the past? And is Gloria Steinem okay??? Also Betty and Jughead should remember they kind of hated each other in the future after the cheating and the voicemail, and Veronica should be so jealous of Betty for getting Archie, and Jughead should be so jealous of Archie for getting Betty, and my brain is hurting -

Almost more irritating were a) this idea that Archies are fundamentally stuck in the 50s (I owned the decade collections as a kid and the 60s and 70s were by far my favorites - very groovy), and b) the presumption that they did anything to address, expose, and or/fix actual problems of the 50s. Let us recap:

The school is already desegregated and this is never, ever discussed. The Black students are allowed to compete in beauty pageants, form their own literary club, dance on an integrated TV show, and join cheerleader squads, and this all happens with zero fight from the villains of the season. Fake Ray Bradbury and Fake Ray Bradbury's sweet but stupid wife think they could have settled in the south as a married couple in the forties. But? This is Riverdale, you say? They fixed everything? Sorry, you don't get to use Emmett Till to open the season and then eat your cake too.

Homophobia seemed to be the writers focus this season - except that every other episode someone would threaten Cheryl or Kevin, and then the next episode it would be an open secret at school with zero repercussions. Also, of course only the bad guys are homophobic (sorry Evelyn); our heroes are as forward thinking as they come. Hell, even Buffy had a moment to be wigged out by Willow and this was 1999! Anyway, look up what Lou Reed's parents did to him ('don't you know they're gonna kill your sons')

Let us not even discuss Reggie, who conquers racism through the power of athletics. Look up Richie Allen. Heck, watch the actual School Ties. It doesn't work out so well for David Greene in the end.

And then there's Fangs and Midge: first, rock and roll was seen as a huge menace, Fangs should've been on the school's hit list. Second, the writers obviously never read up on rock and rollers (who were generally older) and teen girls if they thought that was a good storyline. Third, they definitely never read any memoirs written by women in the 1950s, which all feature back alley abortions, slimy lovers, and shady doctors. (We don't even have time to get into Betty's idea of feminism being about sex all the time, everywhere, and becoming a burlesque dancer rather than, like, equal pay. Who knows, maybe she could have been the one harping on non-stop about the Beats and seen the cold face of her future there).

They didn't change anything. EC (sorry, Pep Comics) shut down. The Comics Code Authority won. So apparently all those artists who never worked again were just fine, right Tabitha?

Thinkin about the unwanted kids being taken to the lake of boiling oil and brought outside the walls of Quill and seeing the full sky for the first time without the grid ceiling moments before they believe they’ll die

~

and the people of Old Monstadt who’ve just won their freedom in a war where they killed their god seeing the storm wall fall and the sky that it had concealed from them

[helloitsdusk]

masquerade looks from the unwanteds: island of fire! alex and sky's looks are based on their canon outfits; the other three are all from my imagination!
