so I finally got done watching S5 of The Dragon Prince and ghgnghghggngh why do I have such a mixed bag love hate relationship with this show (spoilers)
I want to love this show but there's so many things that just don't land and don't work, and yet here I am, hooked once again, because after 8 episodes of cringe humor and weird dialogue it fed me some crumbs of delicious Aaravos content.
I find so many of the accents so goddamn stilted and awkward. The french sun fire elves are the worst. I don't object to french-sounding elves in principle but dear lord does it sound unnatural and strained
SO much of the humor just does not land and the pacing of individual scenes is just ??? ATLA had some very kiddie humor here or there too, and I love the somewhat darker and more mature tone of TDP but jfc it feels like they need to hammer every joke home with so much time that you'd think they were planning for a laugh track
ep 8 and 9 were so much better than the whole rest of the season because once this show lets itself focus on action and drama, it's actually pretty fucking good, but for some reason you need to get through a first half season of awkward goofs.
Terry annoys me so much. Yay trans rep, but why the utterly random coming out out of nowhere (that was S04 I know but I watched it very recently okay) and his whole sounding like a therapist shit towards Claudia, like yes, it could be funny that this random wood elf does aroma therapy on his dark mage gf but everything somehow turns awkward in the execution
The library showdown was generally cool but the framing for why Amaya told them to leave without her was so fucking weird: you have this moment of Dragon Ex Machina, Zubeia wiping away the demon bears with ease, and then suddenly when Amaya is back in the frey after grabbing Bait, they're suddenly out of time and need to leave that instant??? Like I see what they were going for, obviously Zubeia was under real threat from the demon bears, but imo the framing/visualization of that threat did not work at all and I audibly went "WHY" at my screen at the random "you have to leave without me" thing.
That being said there's some shit that goes extremely hard and I'm here for it:
Rayla just fucking dismembering Claudia apparently wtf??
I enjoyed the sexy fish pirate man, I hope he survived getting eaten
I am an utter addict for Aaravos' voice and even the flashback repetitions in Janai's nightmares were legit enough to get my attention again
I am very excited for how someone is going to end up saving Viren's life against his will and I will gladly read fanfic of it
I had the 'our child' thing spoiled by being careless on tumblr but seeing it actually on screen was better than expected, love that for my OTP, toxic af parenthood is just what they needed
I really expected there to be more Aaravos since this show got renamed to Mystery of Aaravos false advertising smh.
They got creative with Dragon designs this season and I support that
out of all the things I found weird and cringe, I am 100% here for Zubaia getting randomly healed by a funky little gnome that calls himself the mushroom mage, 10/10 no notes
young viren hot
Rayla and Callum worked much better for me towards the end of the season when they got more comfortable with each other, love that for them, some delicious drama when the sexy fish man tortures them in front of each other, good for them, that's my shit
Considering all the things I liked about the last 2-3 episodes I feel nitpicky and weird for complaining about the first 7 or so but UGH it was a bit of a pain to get through them tbh. There is so much I deeply, deeply appreciate about what this show tries to do, as a high fantasy kids show with an overarching story, gorgeous visuals and explicit lgbtq and disability rep that I feel like an ass for complaining about it so much, but god damn there are so many things that are just unbearably cringe about it and OH MY GOD I just remembered the god damn "maybe you should express your love like a bee, here just move your tushy like that" scene holy FUCK can someone please give me an edit of this show with about three times the Aaravos screentime and all this second hand embarassment removed

What are your OTPs from other shows besides kindall? (especially love/hate ones)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Forgive me im so slow)
Oh my here u go >:D
Love/hate ones:
Jimmy and Cindy (The adventures of Jimmy Neutron: boy genius)
This one kinda started it all. Their rivalry was funny and I kinda felt bad for Cindy because she is genuinely smart but what is it if your opponent is a genius  Also hey, blonde and bitchy, my type :) Won't say a lot about this one tho because with all my love for them - there's nothing much I can tell you if you watched the show
Tumblr media
Manny and Zoe (El tigre: the adventures of Manny Rivera)
Ok, this one is weird because as a kid I just loved Zoe so much (Her Black Cuervo design, like c'mON LOOK SHES PURPLE) but also liked Manny and Frida together Idk, fandom skewed me later to Manny and Frida but hey, hero-boy/villain-girl dynamic is fun too and I still remember fondly how Manny was immediately smitten by her in "Enter the Cuervo" (Apparently Zoe would end up with Django and honestly? That pair is pure aesthetic, good for them good for them) (Also I'm so mad that I watched this show dubbed because I didn't know english at the time like THEY TOOK ALL CHARM. NO ACCENT, NO SPANISH WORDS IN CHARACTERS SPEECH AND SOME NAMES WERE TRANSLATED IN THE LAMEST WAY POSSIBLE)
Tumblr media
Helga and Arnold (Hey Arnold) (can you tell I am a nickelodeon kid yet?)
Ok, this one is more of the one sided love/hate on Helga's side but if you watched the show then you know that she went all in with both love and hate.  Seriously, Helga is such an interesting character. She is amazing and I love her (another bitchy blonde to love yay) Can't say much from Arnold's side. He was oblivious to her crush for the most of the show. He is a kind and understanding boy so jgkkdjgkh I just really wanted Helga to be happy 🥺
Tumblr media
Anya and Damian (Spy x Family)
New one and also kinda one sided on Damian's side  Listen These two?
Just plain funny
Anya punching him in the face and Damian falling for her for that? Hilarious Anya being oblivious to his crush despite being an esper because Damian is in denial? Amazing. Good stuff.  They are just so cute and funny, look at them!!!
Tumblr media
Catra and Adora (She-ra and the princesses of power)
Ok, I wouldn't consider myself a catradora shipper anymore but God, their dynamic in the first seasons is everything. Like darn, they had drama. Actual enemies to lovers and THE TENSION
Aaaaand season 5 destroyed it all. (Spoilers for she ra ahead)
Some people dropped the ship after season 4 finale because Catra would rather destroy the world than let Adora win, but for me it was THE THING I LOVED LIKE YES, MORE DRAMA, MORE CONFLICT, NOW CATRA MUST TRY REAL HARD TO GET ON ADORAS GOOD SIDE AND THAT MEANS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, I WONDER HOW IT WILL GO and they just??? Kinda forgive her??? I'm sorry, yes, Catra purring on Adora's lap? Sweet. The kiss was also dramatic. But it all felt so undeserved I guess it's because of the limited time the writers had. But damn, introducing a bigger threat in Hordak Prime and kinda handwaving her crimes isn't a redemption for Catra.  But again. First seasons? Good ass dynamic. 10/10
Tumblr media
Knuckles and Rouge (Sonic the hedgehog franchise)
THIS ONE IS  AH NICE If you followed my kbsd art then you probably know that I also love Sonic (lil guy doing cool stuff - my weakness) Wouldn't call knuxouge love/hate ship at this point that much tho. They started as this but now they are more of a flirts-a-lot/flusters-a-lot type of pair. Also, we don't talk about "dumb" arc SEGA was putting Knux in 2010's Anyway funni echidna and funni bat my beloveds
Tumblr media
Non love/hate
Sanford and Deimos (Madness Combat)
Ok, so the series is about violence, fighting, and bloodshed, right? And then I saw these two in 0.5 episodes and my brain went "OK, but what if they kiss?" And I spend 2021 rotating these two in my head. Violently. (The way Deimos doesn't attack Sanford in "dedmos adventure" still makes me sad from time to time)
Tumblr media
Dr. Fox and Hawkodile (Unikitty!)
I was in a weird place of mind when I was obsessed with this show. Looking back at it - its really silly.  I'm gonna be honest, the biggest reason I loved this ship is because it's a big warrior type of guy having a huge crush on a nerd girl and being really silly about it. After a few episodes with this topic I got kinda tired of it tho. 
Still, they are cute.
Tumblr media
I might be forgetting some but honestly, if I was to list every ship I enjoy - we'll be here forever This also kinda made me realize that I haven't seen any proper love\hate pairs in recent media. Might be just me tho.

When Opposites Attract, part 3: Standing guard
Uh.... not much happening in episodes 32-38... but whatever gems I was able to gather are all beneath the cut.
Tumblr media
The things I do for blorbo and my OTP!
But mostly I’m just fast forwarding through all of the bullshit... 
Athrun
Ok so we fast forward to episode 34 where we get to see Athrun engage with his daddy issues Chairman Patrick Zala. 
What I thought was interesting about this moment was that Athrun at first addresses his father as 父上 “chichi ue”, which is like a super formal and polite way of addressing one’s father in Japan. Even if you don’t speak Japanese, if you’ve been watching anime long enough, you’ve surely heard the word “ottosan” or simply “chichi” being most commonly used to address one’s father.
I think the purpose of having Athrun say “chichi ue” was to show the audience both the level of respect that Athrun has for his father and, most importantly, the emotional distance between them. I mean... “ue” literally means “above”.
... and even that is not enough distance as Papa Zala demands even more emotional distance from Athrun as he reprimands him for calling him “father” even though there is no one else in the room with them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like... is it any surprise that our favorite Zala boy is constantly emotionally constipated given the lack of a mother figure and his own father’s emotional frigidness?
It is then that his father confirms that Lacus gave Kira one of the new Gundams and that their engagement is therefore broken off.
Tumblr media
Athrun, I beg of you... there’s a whole fandom that thinks you were heartbroken about Lacus getting with Kira! Do you mind at least pretending that you were, in fact, heart broken or unhappy about it?
Idk... look sad... argue with your dad... SOMETHING, ANYTHING!
Ok but in all seriousness, going back to the idea that both Athrun and Lacus got to know each other and became friends who cared for each other as a result of their arranged marriage, I really appreciated seeing Athrun be in complete denial about Lacus being involved with the new Gundam being stolen. 
I like to think that Athrun knew that for someone like Lacus to do such a thing, she must have had a REALLY good reason for it. 
That or maybe he just totally overestimated her intelligence and cunning. After all, when Athrun thinks of Lacus he seems to find her whimsical nature... burdensome?
Tumblr media
Flashback from who knows what episode earlier on.
Thoughts?
Anyways. Like Cagalli, Lacus challenges Athrun and his propensity to following orders blindly just as she tells him that she’s on Kira’s side.
Then there’s a gun fight, Athrun protects Lacus who is technically now an “enemy” (yay for character development), yadda yadda yadda, and as Lacus says goodbye, Athrun can’t contain himself with how in love he is with her and therefore does not go with her. 
True love I tell you. TRUE LOVE!
So Athrun gets on his shiny new Gundam and takes off for the Earth with a new perspective on his blind devotion, which means it’s time for Athrun to become a conscious human being with a free will of his own. That Oedipus Complex is about to have its ass kicked to the curb.
To whom and what Athrun becomes devoted to defines the rest of his character arc.
Cagalli
As for Cagalli... well she’s already had development so all we get from her is that she’s happy to see Kira is still alive, Mwu totally steals the Strike from her rude, and she actually asks for permission now.
Tumblr media
Speaking of character development...
Tumblr media
She even learned military strategy and is in charge of directing this battle. Nothing beats 15 year old teenage girls directing a country’s military. These Gundam Seed writers sure know how to write realistic battle scenes.
Fast forward... fast forward... and we get to our next asucaga encounter...
Bridging the gap
After Athrun helps win the battle to protect Orb against the crazy Earth Fed pilots, Athrun and Kira stare each other down, proving once and for all that Kira looks about as threatening as a French Poodle or a Pomeranian. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At least he’s not crying so that’s always a win.
But I have to say that I loved Cagalli realizing that the pilot in that other sparkly Gundam was none other than Athrun who is now walking towards the one person he thought he had killed.
Tumblr media
Also, why is everyone so surprised and acting like they know what is going on?? Like even the random soldiers behind Cagalli are like “oh my gah! *GASP*”!
Little side note here: Dearka has about as much depth as a kiddy pool but I have to admit I like his personality when he’s not letting himself be influenced by everybody’s favorite Mean Girl™, Yzak. I also have to admit that I wish he wouldn’t have gotten paired up with Milly because it feels like the writers are just pulling ships out of their asses at this point.
But anyways... as the Orb soldiers point their guns at Athrun, that look he flashes them is so...
Tumblr media
Like is that a smile? Is he sad? What’s going on here?
I’m in a shippy mood so I’m going to go ahead and gatekeep the fck out of this scene and officially claim that he’s looking straight at Cagalli.
Whatever that look communicated, Cagalli takes notice and bridges the seemingly irreconcilable gap between Athrun and Kira.
Tumblr media
What follows then is the conversation between Athrun and Kira on how Kira has chosen to fight moving forward. Now that Kira has earned his status as Kira Jesus Yamato, he’s unlocked new levels of Buddhahood previously not available to him and has chosen the “middle path”.
This gets Athrun thinking (yay! finally!) about Chairman Zala’s extremism but still appears to be torn as to where his allegiance lays and whom and what he will seek to protect.
And like ok. This is one of the gems in Gundam Seed and why I think that EVERYONE needs to watch at least ONE Gundam show. In the end, Gundam is about human conflict and how the gap can be bridged between two opposing sides. 
If I’m honest, with the way our world is so divided nowadays, we could use some cute bishonen and jiggly boobs to remind us that the “enemy” too is human. And Gundam Seed got that right, jiggly boobs and all.
But I digress... back to what REALLY matters: the melodrama.
Athrun gets challenged time and time again by others to make a call and decide his place in the war. In the end, if there’s one thing that everyone wants, it’s to end the war--even if they have different approaches for it.
And since I’ve been writing about Athrun and Cagalli “meeting in the middle”, I thought it was a cute detail that both of them mess with their hair when burdened by their own thoughts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, if you know Scorpios, then you know they are stubborn af. Hence Athrun being mega indecisive about how he wants to contribute towards ending the war.
But none of that matters because Cagalli is there...
Tumblr media
... standing “guard”.
I think one of the things I’ve grown to really like about Cagalli is that she’s this “steady” source of optimism and support for others. 
I also like to think that as a result of all of these conversations he’s been having, Athrun is beginning to break through that Oedipal Complex of his. He realized that at the core of his own father’s extremist attitudes is the pain of having lost his wife.
The problem is that this senseless hatred has spiraled out of control as is shown in this episode when the idea of the nuclear-powered Gundams becomes a point of contention.
It is thus then that Athrun will seek to return to space to try to “kill” his own father, which is in itself a metaphor for Athrun finally overcoming his own rigid mental barriers in favor of a new perspective influenced by his heart as “conscience”.
This also means I’ll have about 10 episodes left before I move onto Gundam Wing and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, which I want to watch because it was written by Okuchi Ichiro who also wrote Code Geass and whom I know is a CLAMP fan.

EoA for ask meme
otp: *coughs* Elena/Esteban. sorry not sorry.Look if they didn't want me to be unhinged about them, they shouldn't have spent an entire season soulmate-coding them and then capping it off with a BATB homage.
favourite canon pairing: ymmv on how canon it is, but considering it was pretty strongly teased in the series finale, Julio/Doña Paloma. I do find Carla/Mateo pretty cute as well.
worst pairing ever: I wouldn't say any of the pairings for the show are bad. It's just a lot of them don't particularly interest me. I could say Elena/Mateo, because personally I find it overrrated and I'm already gonna talk about it later. But I am going to go with Esteban/Doña Paloma.
I did actually kind of ship it the first time I watched the show...right up until the episode where their AU selves got married. And even though the whole point of "to Queen or Not to Queen" is that everything is absurd and everyone is wildly out-of-character (especially the two of them), they just seemed so miserable together and I couldn't unsee it. I also find it kind of annoying that Paloma is treated as sort of the default "acceptable" Esteban shipping option for people who don't want to pair him with OCs. And just...it's fine and I understand why many people would feel uncomfortable shipping him with certain characters (even if I don't)...but like...Victor is also right there. And honestly, I'm able to get a lot of the same vibes that I initially liked about esteoma out of estevictor, esteban/naomi, gaberico, and Julio/ Paloma---plus just I find those dynamics are more interesting in general.
guilty pleasure pairing: It used to be estebalena, but now, I have much less shame over it. It helps that I really only see it happening in S3 or later and that I hc that Elena would be the much more dominant/instigating partner in the relationship. I mean I guess Shuriki/Esteban is the obvious answer. But it is worth noting that I don't like it when it's genuine/mutual/romantic. I only like esteriki in the noncon/dubcon "Shuriki abusing her power" sense. So my guilty pleasure ship is less Shuriki/Esteban and more "Esteban/severe Shuriki-related trauma that leads to extreme woobification." I want him sad and pretty and haunted by the Dark Times™ so that he can have allll the angst, whump and hurt/comfort.
a pairing you want to see more: Literally every ship that isn't just some permutation of the Four Amigos. There are so many great characters in this ship that can be paired in so many interesting ways, but they rarely get acknowledged. I think I am particularly baffled by the lack of m/m in this fandom, since it's like the complete opposite of every other fandom ever. There's a bit of Mateo/Gabe, but honestly, it's positively dwarfed by other pairings for the amigos. (Also I don't care about Mateo, lol). There's also a criminally small bit of Gabe/Rico, but there could be so much more.
But honestly, the ship that I am genuinely baffled isn't more popular and really really want to see more of is Victor/Esteban. Like it just seems like a no-brainer to me. It has so many tropes that people normally go feral over. Childhood friends to lovers? Enemies to Lovers? Foe yay? Mutual redemption arcs? There isn't even an age difference and Victor's marriage is all-but-over. So, what is stopping people? I've seen at most a handful of ambiguously romantic ship art and not a single fic. Where is it? Where is the estevictor? Give me the estevictor!
that pairing everyone likes but you’re like “lol no” : Elena/Mateo. I mean I get why it's so popular given the popularity and attractiveness of both characters. But personally, I just don't find them interesting. I feel they both have better chemistry and interesting potential with other characters than they do with each other. And its popularity within the fandom certainly doesn't help, as my little contrarian hipster brain turns its nose up about 90% of fandom juggernaut pairings. Plus, I just don't care enough about Mateo to care about a ship with him. He's casually cute with Carla and I can see him with Gabe as well. But otherwise, nope. Don't like him enough to care who he's shipped with.
favorite non-romantic pair: There are a bunch of dynamics that I do ship sometimes (or more than sometimes) but I also love platonically. (Esteban & Elena, Elena & Naomi, Esteban & Naomi, Naomi & Gabe, Elena & Gabe, Elena & Valentina, Elena & Marisa, Chloe & Maliga, Cacahuate & Bobo, various permutations of "Team Isa"). But in terms of pairings that I only view platonically, either Victor & Carla or Isabel & Elena.

Manner of Death rewatch ep 11-14 (finale)
The thing about MoD's story structure and pacing is that they really want the viewer to suspect, but not want to suspect, love interest Tan for the first 3/4ths of the drama. It's a romantic suspense setup where Tan is attractive but dangerous... and attractive because he's dangerous.
Once this culminates in ep 10-11 with the reveal of the true antagonists, now the story focus flips over from romantic suspense to mostly pure suspense. Our otp is solid and just trying to get out of this alive & together. It makes a rewatch of the final 4 episodes pretty fast because you can speed thru the case stuff.
In my rewatch I've been directing stronger attention to the brothers' minor relationship arc, which I wasn't really tracking the first time around (as I presumed mob boss Por was gonna just end up as a minor jailed baddy).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now that I have KP Chay's frequent, "Hia!" in my brain, it pings a bit harder whenever Tan directs it to Por with a plaintive edge. This low level criminal boss who almost killed him a couple episodes earlier is indeed the only family Tan has left. Tan trusted enough in that to tie his man to a staircase and show up in Por's mansion o' thugs to try to break thru to him face 2 face. LOL can u believe this murder case actually fixed their fucked up half-sibling relationship.
Tumblr media
When it looks like the 3 teens are about to get GOT by the corrupt commander's officer and then pop! A shower of blood and its big brother Por standing there with his gun like the most menacing hero 🙌
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then he shows up at the couple's hiding stop with some handy stolen evidence and is like, "right now you're fugitives wanted by the police"
Tumblr media
ok, fuck, I guess he IS your hia. 🤔
That scene where our otp watch the horrific proof of who killed Jane and even Por is like DAMN. I'm like, that's right bitch, this is why we don't murder our siblings ok it is not cool.
Somehow I find this all hilarious.
And then Por gets kidnapped! "Hia!" engaged. "Don't worry about me! Release the video!" wow, big brother, we've come such a long way in 4 episodes.
But then Tan is ready to risk it all, including his true love, in order to save his bro so.
The family that faces death together, stays together? 🤔
Tumblr media
ah, Corrupt cop arrives for the rescue to kill the even more corrupt cop! YAY! He plugs that dude so full of lead he could serve as a paperweight. Nice.
MoD has a bit of that Vampire Diaries vibe, where the practical answer is always to align yourself with the lesser monsters.
Drugging & trafficking young girls under 15 is the greater evil. Even dirty cops & mobsters agree: let's scrub these scum out of our sketchy town and get back those "grey areas" everyone is comfortable with.
Very realistic that the congressman gets away. But 2 out of 3 isn't bad.
Tan and the other henchmen catch our villianess at the border and bring her back for Por to deliver a thematically appropriate murder. 👌
The less said about the psychotic proposal the better. But the kids are back in class and Tan is back to his teaching day job. And a man actually agreed to marry him after meeting him in the woods, being told he's on an errand for his mob boss brother, and running off with him to be held at gunpoint yet again. But just kidding! (Bun, this is the 1st day of the rest of your life: that hot man lying to you AGAIN.)
That's true love.

I was just scrolling through your otps list and I found this one gif that you posted of papi and angel. My first thought was 'is that dev Patel?' Then I realized that it's not. And then I saw the dude in one of your posts. My immediate reaction was 'WHO DAT HE CUTE?' I have never responded to any character like this. So I went to the show. I didn't watch it yet. But now I'm interested in the shows plot after the trailer and reading the synopsis.
Is it worth watching? Meaning does the show get worse with time? Or better? Or is it just good all over? And one of the important part:
Does papi actually appear a lot? Or is it like squid game where I had to watch all episodes just to see gong yoo twice not even for 15 minutes.
i will forever be salty that that anon tricked me into watching squid game for gong yoo (but also well played).
and yay papi appreciation! papi is smooth AF, i appreciated it. and had fun doing some vids
youtube

youtube
i think pose is definitely worth watching because it's an important show, it's not a perfect show but it's a show with a lot of heart and it instigated a lot of conversation. there is a particular scene in the season 1 finale that is one of my favourite scenes for a tv's season finale. papi gets more screentime in seasons 2 and 3. truthfully, i fell off pose in season 3 but that doesn't mean that it's not worth watching.

Hunter?
ive gotten TWO (and a half) asks can you tell. i have a favorite
What I like about them
hes such a bitch (affectionate) and also a NERD hes sweet and likes to learn and is just a little awkward hes trying his best.
What I dislike about them
he needs to stop running off into the wood whenever he is having a panick attack and start relying on others. get better coping machinaisms
Favourite moment
oughh hm. love like every flapjack and hunter moment (rip)
Least favourite moment
any sport in a storm had a few minutes where the second hand embarassment was so bad i could not handle it. im like stupid sensitive to that kind of stuff and sometimes i have to leave a room when its TOO much. my guy please. i do like the episode i dont hate it at all i just was like. incapable of watching it lmao
A situation with this character that I want to see explored more
augh like. everyday coven life stuff (this also goes for lilith too). id love to see like a day in the life kind of thing espeically like before lilith left the coven. what chaos goes on in the castle,,,
An interesting AU for this character
I HAVE LIKE A BILLION AUS FOR HUNTER. uh. i have my reverse au. i have the 55k fic i wrote where he accidentally kills belos and has to secretly run the goverbment (go read weekend at belos's its funny i promise). i hae an antimatic im working about him. i also had one for a while where pre-canon he ran away from belos and fled to the human realm and just. worked at the 7/11 down the street while living in the portal shack and luz befriended him. i wrote a few ficlets for it but never posted anything but its a fun au i had. it was Luz getting her first friend + hunter realizing that belos kind of sucked actually and camila trying to adopt this rabdom teenager her daughter found (she genuinly thinks luz is lying about him or is talking about one of her book characters and then after she meets hunter shes like oh ok. adoption) its fun
A crossover
i dont really have any crossovers hmmm,,,
OTP (or OT3+ etc…. just… favourite ship)
augh im like. all my favs i hit with an aroace beam so. not really lol
Other ships?
i kind of bounce bwteen bi hunter and aroace hunter but like. he should go through the struggle of "damn they're pretty" and also appprecuating your frieends beauty.
BROTP
him and luz!! again. worte an entire fic of their shenaningans. they are obnoxious and love each other. i also think something with hunter and the collector would be interesting but i dont know if they would like. get along and be best buds or anything. also him and gus!! adultified buddies but like. they're adultified in oppostite ways so they can combine to be One Whole Guy. thats how hunter and luz work btw but with being neurodivergent
NOTP
againt jusy like. no weird age gaps and incest yada yada.
An assortment of headcanons! 
OKAY
have the headcanon that belos like. shoved him into a caretaker role (which we see a Bit of in canon but i take it to an extreme). loves to play it up as "sick weak frail old man who needs his nephews help" so parentification yay. hes good at like cooking and cleaning and knows how to make a bunch of BI ersion of 16th century dishes. if something happens thenhunter feels guilty because its His respoinisbibly to take care of belos beacuse belos doesnt have anyone else!!! (false belos is juts a needuy bastard who wants to be taken sre of by his older brother and likes to play house wiht his grimwalkers. i have so many feelings about that btw)
he is just. such an isolated kid. no one noticed/cared what was going on and i get a little infuriated every time i think about it. i have so many emotions about his little sprig plushie and whenever he has to leave it behind in a fic i get emotional. he goes back to the wreckage of the castle post canon and finds his room in the rubble and sure some things are destrpyed but a few books and knickkacks are salvegable. he finds sprig a little torn up but sews him up and its ok.
he likes learning about Everything. like theres so many intersting things all the time he wants to read!! in the human realm he just devours books about everything. wikipedia rabbit hole. kinda guy who knows a random fact for almost any occasion. multitracker hunter but tbh he wouldnt really do much at hexside besides like. hes doing it for his friends. i think he would help dell out with the palistrom trees and also specialize in potions (since you dont need magic for that). he has private tutors in the coven im sure so hes probably educated very well.
hes got all kinds of fun grimwalker traits. hes mostly immune to boiling water. his eyes glow in the dark. sometimes when willow is using plant magic he can feel it under his fingnails and his hair. his hands have weird scarring and peeling and listen. listen. evryone was so dissapoited that hunter didnt have scars under his gloves but i was on the hype train for day One since HUnting Palismen bitch. i give him gloves all the time bc sensory issues + hide fucked up hands + mepahor for hiding yourself.
also is neurodivergent and trans. personanly perfer ftm but every variation is good. mtf hunter would be named bailey. his medications are like. wird mix of plant and witch medicine because grimwalker. has a terrible time in the human realm bc hes super unmedicated for a while but they find a human equivalent and hes fine now. kind of.
ok thats enough of that

Some more canon-Chenford thoughts...
So whether or not it seemed like Tim and Lucy deciding to take the next step was too fast, or too slow, or was missing some steps, I think it's worth realizing that they really are only at the beginning of their journey as a couple.
What we got in the winter finale, essentially, was them admitting that everything up until now, all these moments - which we also saw and read into - were indeed real and true feelings that they were developing for one another. (Yay!) But it still left a lot of open questions.
I've been thinking a lot about my previous OTP Olicity (I know there is some overlap in the fandoms and if not you can skip the next bit but I think you'll be able to follow). 4x22/5x01 for Chenford was 2x23 for Olicity. We have the pretending to be a couple/in love, except it's not actually pretend and is the catalyst for more. And then 5x08/5x09 parallels 3x01 for Olicity, when Oliver asks Felicity out on a date. I wasn't watching Arrow live at the time but thinking back on it, that also seemed kind of out of the blue. We knew Felicity had feelings/a crush and we suspected that Oliver did too - but nothing had been confirmed out loud. (So kind of a reversed Tim and Lucy situation.)
The date was when we finally got to hear them speak out loud about how they felt and when they started feeling that way. But Olicity's first date went horribly wrong. They didn't have their explosive, life or death, all-in moment (and first time) until much later in the season. And it was a few episodes after that (following circumstances that kept them apart) before they could ride off into the sunset.
And even later on once they were together, there were still challenges and obstacles they had to overcome which only strengthened their relationship. (I won't discuss the whole break up and getting back together because I honestly think that with Chenford taking 5 seasons to get together, we luckily won't have to suffer through that.)
Anyway, I guess that Tim and Lucy taking that next step didn't happen quite how I pictured it, but on the other hand it hasn't completely happened yet and I'm hopeful that we have many more moments to look forward to, now that we know the show has committed to them:
I want that first awkward date where they don't know what to talk about because they've spent hours and hours riding together and talking about everything. I want them to clear the air about all the miscommunications that caused them to think that the other one wasn't interested. I want them to admit when they first started thinking of the other in a romantic way. Hopefully we get their first "real" kiss (c'mon Tim!).
Maybe the date doesn't end well, or maybe it ends very well.
But regardless, I think (hope) there will be a key moment in a later episode when they realize just how much is on the line for them career wise if they truly want to be together. Maybe Tim takes a step back for her own good and Lucy gets mad at him for making decisions for her. Here's where I can picture a huge explosive fight turning into their all-in love confession /explosive first time!
And they'll have to decide what to do at work and if they keep their relationship a secret. Then there's the whole issue of Lucy's UC career and how Tim feels about that. And then they'll have to navigate just normal couple things, like how they build their lives together despite their differences in personality, how they see their futures...down the line, discussing moving in together, marriage, kids. I think there can be some really rich story lines for them even once they are officially dating.
This got long! But I think, bottom-line, we are really only at the beginning of their story and I think there is some great potential for all the things we want and were hoping for in their journey to still happen, not to mention some pleasant surprises we may not see coming.
And as always there is A03 to turn for when we're looking for more (just in this post alone there are a few ideas for fics I have)! Thoughts are always welcome :)

ok, now that you’ve watched it multiple times, give me your top 3 kathony moments and your top 3 overall moments!
Yay!! I tried to keep this relatively short, but I could go on forever about any of these!
Kathony first:
The scene between them after the dinner-from-hell (Sheffield dinner):
"[...] You have made this match impossible."
"But I am leaving for India."
And it is not far enough! Do you think that there is a corner of this Earth that you could travel to far away enough to free me from this torment?
"I am a gentleman. My father raised me to act with honor, but that honor is hanging by a thread that grows more precarious with every moment I spend in your presence. You are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires. Night and day, I dream of you. Do you even know the ways a lady can be seduced? The things I could teach you …"
I--I love the angst. You know I love the angst, but this had me so far up in my feels, I knew right then and there they would be an otp for me (and I don't say that lightly because it takes a LOT for me to consider a ship an actual otp). Obvi I love the "you are the bane of my existence" line, but for me, "do you think that there is a corner--" line is....everything. He was SO distraught when he found out she was going back to India. You can tell that he's thought about it, perhaps even considered it for the best so she wouldn't get in the way of his duties, but realized that it wouldn't help because no matter where she went, he'd still pine for her. My mouth freakin' fell open during this scene the first time I watched it. It's so damn good.
2. 'You Outta Know":
No one talks about this moment.  But me being me and living for all the angst, I become more and more obsessed with scene with every rewatch.  The guilt and the resentment they have over their feelings…the sense of duty they both feel…Kate BEGGING him to marry her sister because it would break Edwina’s heart (or so she thinks)—putting her sister’s feelings over her own.  Calling him “Anthony” and his facial expression after that because it’s the first time he’s heard her call him by his first name?  Her pleading with him and assuring him that their feelings will pass with time and you see him shake his head, knowing that it won’t, so she doubles down and becomes even more emphatic that it’ll go away—all while the perfectly instrumental “You Outta Know” beings playing in the background.  And he just stands there, knowing just as well that it won’t go away.  He knows he loves her.  He knows it’s not mere lust or passion or a fleeting thing.  But, he’s so fearful of love, of being in it, of being loved, of having them lose him that you can see him realize that this is the only “gift” he could give her—grant her this plea and go through with the wedding.  He loves Kate so much that he would marry her sister because she convinced him that was what she wanted.
Is it screwed up?  Absolutely.  But I LOVE it.
Then he rides off and Kate breaks down and your heart breaks right along with hers because they’ve done such a good job setting up these characters’ personalities and how they put their families' happiness above their own, not to mention the intense sense of duty they both feel.
3. “Wrecking Ball Dance”
I was torn between this and them blissfully happy at the very end of episode 8, but I’m going with the “Wrecking Ball” dance because it's the first time you see them so open with one another in public.  Both were genuinely happy and smiling.  You have the 3 / 4 moment which I am still living for and those smiles!!  And when everyone stops dancing and he reassures her that “no one else matters”—it’s such a full circle moment for Anthony.  Finally, he’s putting himself and what he wants first and, thanks in part to Edwina's encouragement, she’s able to do the same.  They weren’t hiding their feelings in that moment and it was simply breathtaking.
Overall moments:
Ok, if we’re taking kathony out, here are my top 3 overall moments of season two.  If you want to include kathony, my fav moment of theirs slides into that #2 spot.
The Country Dance in episode 7
Favorite moment of the series.  The Bridgerton family (minus Daphne and Francesca), the Sharmas, and Lady Danbury dancing.  It was such a lighthearted and fun moment and when I saw it the first time, I realized that I was really enjoying more than just the ships in this show:  I was so fascinated by all of the personal relationships and this family!  I love them so much and this moment (the calm before the storm) was so fantastic.  The Bridgerton sibling dynamics are some of my favorite in the series and it was on full display and beautifully captured in this moment.  Nothing else mattered but their families and the “harmony” they found in that moment.
2. The “she’s awake” scene with Anthony and Violet
From his relief to finding out she’s awake to Violet telling him that he cannot lose Kate.  Violet apologizing to Anthony for everything that happened after Edmund died.  How she wishes she could change things.  Anthony’s character arc in this season comes to such a crescendo in this moment and as the audience, you’ve been waiting for this moment between mother and son where they both can openly grieve.  Because of his father’s death and watching how his mother dealt with it, he’s lived his entire life utterly opposed of love—and he ran from it all season—because he never wanted to cause anyone that kind of pain.  Finally having his mother tell him she would do it all over again because real love is worth it.  It’s such a turning point for him and it’s so incredibly well acted by both of them.
3. The first Pall Mall scene
Have I told you how much I love the Bridgerton sibling dynamics?  Because it's the best and this scene shows it all off so well.  I could watch an entire episode of them just playing Pall Mall and teasing one another back and forth.  Kate picking “the mallet of death” because of course she grabs Anthony’s mallet.  His reaction to it.  Colin telling everyone that Anthony threatened to beat him the last time he touched it.  Anthony playing horribly and Benedict, Daphne and Eloise teasing him.  I just love it.  I want more scenes of the siblings all together in the next season.  It’s comedic gold.

Finally managed to watch the final season of Agents of Shield. Truly a time travel adventure worth waiting for, although I would have prefered to have seen it on actual TV and not “Disney Plus”.
It’s definitely a season that understands its finality, opting for a jaunt through SHEILD’s history with the not-so-subtle aim of getting some more fun references and bringing back old characters. Indeed, the first three seasons get a lot of love, with the return of John Garrett, Jiaying, and even the Malicks and their wacky squid cult. There’s also another Koenig, more Hydra, Shield and Chromicon agents than you can shake a time drive at, along with some guy from Agent Carter. (Also: fun alternate title sequences, including a fully fledged 70′s style sequence.)
Okay, Daniel Sousa isn’t just some guy, but as with all these big interconnected things, the whole “look it’s the guy“ bit doesn’t work if you don’t know who he is. However, the season does a lot to make sure he’s a fully realised character even if you don’t know the backstory. In fact, the whole Daniel/Daisy relationship subplot works pretty well, considering it had to fit into ten episodes between other things. You’d think adding in a new team member in the final season wouldn’t work, but it did. Sousa has his whole “out of time“ deal going on, but he’s also very ernestly good, even in the face of the wacky Agents of Shield problems. Like the time loop episode. Daisy says there’s a time loop and Sousa is like “well how are we fixing this“.
Really if I had to pick out a weak point for this season, it would be the villains. The Chromicons’ motivations are a bit weird, since you’d think with all this time travel and advanced technology they could do a better plan than “retgone Shield and take over the new timeline“. Also, even with all their fancy predictions, they basically lose constanty. Eventually, they have Natheniel Malick as an ally, who trades in his old fate for being Alveus bait to become a discount Mr. Sinister for Inhumans. And also a Quake knock-off. I think he lacks a certain menacing presence, and really he gets narratively side-lined by Kora, Daisy’s not technically evil half-sister. Kora herself mostly works, but her whole plotline would probably have benefitted from another episode or two of space, since she goes from “grr, Daisy and Shield bad“ to “actually I love my new sister“ pretty quickly. Her motivations are little shaky, but that does line up with how she clearly didn’t have long term plans that involved being alive at the point where she was introduced.
The rest of the team also continues to move forward. Coulson now has to deal with being a robot, May gets weird empathy powers, Yo-yo has to deal with her (newly introduced) Backstory Issues and Deke uses his time travel knowledge for good rather than self-enrichment. But also for self-enrichment. Also Mack’s parents die in the alternate timeline. Oof. As always, the cast has a lot of fun interactions, with a lot of different dynamics. Then Enoch dies again and this time it’s a lot more sad. It all leads up the very last “where are they now“ scene, where we see that everyone who survived got their happy ending. Yay!
Also there’s a Fitzsimmons baby! It seemed likely when Malick did the evil mind-meld, and became incredibly obvious in the final episode. Not much Fitz in this season incidentally, but it got an in-universe justification which is nice. Hooray for the dorks in love. Best ship, OTP and all that.
All in all, Agents of Shield is still probably the best live-action superhero show I’ve watched. I like the characters (even Deke), I like the stories, and honestly I like how it became its own thing detached from the MCU. Season seven provides a cool conclusion to the show, with a happy ending that the characters earned.

Part Two of my Heartstopper Review Rambles. Part One here. 
I’m going to leave any negative thoughts (this was just low-expectations from previous shows) out because I want too. 
Spoilers.
Episode One: Meet
Omg I just realised Nick’s hair is long at the front and short at back. Pfft, baby boy already has the BisexualUrge for long and short hair. This makes me feel slightly better since ngl, this show is making me realise that with fashion, hand-gestures and hair, I’m a bisexual-stereotype (I may or may not be wearing a plaid hoodie right now and my first instincts in photos is either thumbs up or finger guns).
I know it’s not long but his hair is longer in the front than in the back. Like significantly longer in the front. 
First Watch Thoughts:
- Red flags red flags everywhere. Charlie IDK you yet but ran from this Ben.
- Can’t believe Charlie hears the terms “rugby lad” and “year above you” by form teacher and decided to say hi. Brave kid. Would not have done it. 
- The look Nick gave Charlie when they first met was 100% the start of his Bi Panic. I recognize that look. I wore that look. Interestingly enough, the girl that started my Bi Panic was also named Charlie. Unfortunately, she was no Charlie Spring. Fortunately, I never went out with her so yay.
Actually now I think about it, most of my partners were name Charlie. Huh. That’s weird.
- This dick really just wiped his mouth? Rude. Dump him, Charlie. You deserve better. I haven’t even had Charlie for five minutes and I’m already ready to throw hands at this Ben. The disrespect. 
- Tao’s freaking hair. Buddy, why? 
- Aww, Elle’s all alone. :(
- Charlie c’mon, you deserve better Charlie. DUMP HIS ASS! 
- I swear I did yell “yes you go Charlie!” when he dumped Ben and fell off my chair in enthusiasm. You deserve better Charlie.
- “Well done then” - Tori. Exactly.
- Nick hears Charlie’s name and freaking turns around to watch him run. 
- I am romance trash and love book-fall scenes. It is a staple of romance. Especially teen romance genres. You can’t have a romance set in high school and not have a book-fall scene. 
- lol the “I saw you at PE” from Nick. Like the boy just happened to be looking in the direction instead of turning around after hearing Charlie’s name. 
- “I’m going to die” is it a sports-crisis or holy-shit-I-am-unprepared-to-touch-Crush-this-much crisis? Or both?
- No Charlie, sweetie. Ignore Ben. 
- Oh Nick has to follow now. 
- “it’s not like anyone else is going to want to go out with you, is it”- Ben Who-Does-Not-Deserve-His-Last-Name. Charlie don’t listen to him. You literally just walked up to Nick and he entered Bi Panic Mode. 
- I have never wanted to throw a teen into Jaws more than I want to throw Ben in there. I have never wanted to throw a teen into Jaws before but my point still stands. 
- Charlie’s little scream of frustration there. 
- DOGGIE BACKGROUND 
- Aww the little animated birds around Nick as he smiles at Charlie’s DM. Boy has it bad.
Subsequent Rewatching Thoughts:
- Damn, they really brightened the scene when Charlie sees Nick for the first time. So bright I’m surprised they didn’t add a halo behind Nick. 
- Excuse me while I try and climb into my screen to hug Charlie after the disrespect he was given not even five minutes in. 
- So Nick’s pen exploded because it accidently made a line perfect for a smiley face, right? RIP Pen, sacrificing itself for its OTP.
- Tori’s little smile as she says well done. She proud. Understandably so. 
- Okay one of my favourite romance tropes is where the main character imagines their crush ask them out and only gets one thing wrong. 
Heartstopper nails that. Because Charlie’s little imagination is very close, he just gets Nick’s sexuality wrong in his little daydream. Good for you, Charlie. Good for you. 
- Nick saw the drumsticks and was like AMAZING. 
-All I can think about now is Nick’s hair. 
- Fun fact: When the scene changes to Ben, the subtitles literally say [uneasy music playing]. 
- My vision is not good enough to see what books Isaac is reading. 
- Also I have yet to watch a romance show/movie that doesn’t have great music.
- The lyrics “I’m in love  with you, what’s the point of looking at the view” is sung as Tao and Elle look for each other during the end-of-school-day exits. Does this mean they will get together in the next season?

My thoughts on Ninjago the Island!!! 🏝🏝🏝
So, gotta be honest... this is not a Blind reaction thing, I actually watched it in French first so I know most of the stuff already 😅 It's entertaining, it got great animation, but nothing more than that in my opinion 🤷‍♀️
Still there is stuff I liked or I want to point out, and finally I'm seeing the English version so I can actually understand what the HECK they are saying 🤩
Alright, nothing else to say, here we go!
UNCHARTED
I haven't actually seen anything Clutch Powers related before Ninjago, is he always like this? I love that he is a jerk honestly, just wondering 😂
Press F for respect for intern Dwaine (at least he seems to like being... used?)
Clutch: It's just a bunch of rocks! It's not alive!
Totem: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Wait, Misako is part of the explorers club? ... that would have come in handy in season 11 to get the scroll of Forbitten Spinjitzu from the club instead of begging uncle Powers for it... *sighs* I don't mind plot holes in Ninjago like most fans I think, but if you wanna make Misako relevant again at least pay attention to the details 😅
Wow, after the end of season 13 I would've thought Wu was going to go through a midlife crisis, not Misako 😂😂
Oww, everytime I hear I get 😢 Bless your soul Kirby, always in our hearts 🖤🖤🖤
Well hello Brian
Tumblr media
Always nice to see you 😊
Twitchy Tim must have been pretty interesting to voice 🤔 I like him enough, he's fun and all, maybe not at the level of the characters we got last season
Okay, the place is called the STORM belt, there are LIGHTNINGS, and the sand of the beach is BLUE. Are we gonna address any of these similarities to our Bluebell here or not? 😅
Wait, Tim was giving a hot air balloon tour, does that mean other people where with him? What of them? Are they dead? Did he let them die on the island?... am I reading too much into this? Probably 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Alright, the part of the boats? SO COOL 🤩🤩 I literally can't say anything bad about the animation at this point
Why did they think leaving Kai, Jay and Cole on one boat was going to be a good idea 😂 Also Zane just randomly doing sick tricks on his vehicle, love that nindroid
I'm guessing Nya is keeping her water abilities for her season 🤷‍♀️
Yep, yep, this is why the creators try to keep Pixal out of the adventures, with her everything is way too cool and easy to access to 😎😎
Twitchy Tim: There are statues that become alive!!
Lloyd:... so it's a season 2 stone army ripoff, we've seen worse
It's a cute episode overall 👍
THE KEEPERS OF THE AMULET
OKAY THE INTRO IS SO FREAKING COOL 🤩🤩🤩🤩
So Twitchy Tim has temporarily taken over Jay's role of spazzing out and complain about worse case scenarios... in another occasion they might have bonded over this, maybe 😂
Okay, survival position? MOOD
Nya: DRAGOOON 😱
Me: DRAGOOOOOOON 😍😍😍
Why am I not surprised that Jay was the one that named him Zippy? 💙 Also HE'S SO CUTE 💕💕💕 Love how in every adventure, we always get very different types of dragon in this show 👌 I'm a simple person, I see a dragon... 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Oh-oh, it's the "Lloyd's done with this crap"'s face
Tumblr media
This means serious business... am I that used to LEGO characters that this way of crossing arms on the chest looks almost normal to me? 😅
Soooo, Master of the Mountain clearly gave Cole too much development... because now he got demoted to "the one who is always hungry" 🤦‍♀️ I'm all for Cole's endearing love for cakes, which is super relatable, but if you're gonna push it on his fun side, at least be coherent 🙃
Is it just me or it feels like the writing of this special was made by someone different from the one of season 13? Like, it's not bad, just less engaging and witty. For now. Maybe I'm being premature 🤷‍♀️
New way of nerfing powers, we got... weird, sucking power totem thingies... OKAY
My gosh I really can't say anything about the animation, look at that! It's all cinematic with such a light! YES!! 🤩
I'M SORRY
Tumblr media
WHY ARE WE LOOKING OVER THIS??? IT LOOKS LIKE COLE'S LAVA PUNCHES BUT THEY ARE JAY LIGHTNING FEET??? IT'S A GREAT IDEA AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT AGAIN??? WHY ARE WE IGNORING THIS??? 💙💙💙💙
So they at least addressed that lightning isn't a Jay's thing only anymore 😅
Alright, Jay having a mental breakdown because of a bridge because it always breaks, that's the Bluebell I know and love 😂😂 Nya telling him to keep moving was cute too 💙❤💙❤
Okay, I'm sorry but this really bothers me, what kind of lightning can instantly knock out the MASTER OF LIGHTNING??? Like, my gosh, really??? I hope they give us an explanation, like it's some sort of special lightning, because this really doesn't sit right with me. Jay is lightning proof, we've seen it in Skybound, we've seen it in Sons of Garmadon, I DON'T BELIEVE HE WOULD JUST BE KNOCKED OUT LIKE THAT 😡😡😡
Soooooo, storm amulet? Being one with the lightning? Is that the reason why Jay got to be the sacrifice? 😅
THE GIFT OF JAY
Alright, I am kinda looking forward for this one, what did Bluebell actually say or do to get him into trouble this time 😂😂
Oh, he just... introduced himself... well that was underwhelming
SENSEI👏YOU👏ARE👏A👏FREAKING👏GOD👏STOP👏GETTING👏KIDNAPPED👏BY👏RANDOM👏VILLAINS👏
Bring ooooon Lloyd Grills 💪
Okay I did like the little speech, definitely resonates with how Lloyd survived this long even though everything wanted him to give up, even his father... I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING 😭
Jay out there making the real questions 😂
Awwww Edna used to call him gift of Jay? I can totally see it, so cute 💙💙 Makes even more sense if Libber actually left Jay at the Walkers' door...
Pff, Jay made the connection I would've done honestly 🤷‍♀️ Like, him being the master of lightning really didn't give these dudes any impression or inspiration? Any cool idea, full Road of El Dorado style? 🙃🙃
Lloyd out there abusing of the animation budget 💚💚💚
Somehow these ninja never actual sneak in, it's always a huge mess everyone knows about beforehand 😂 It's familiar though, I'm used to it and happy with it 👍
I might not be the biggest Misako fan, but you know what I am a fan of?
Tumblr media
LEGO HUGS 😍😍😍😍😍
Dang it uncle Powers, you just got here to make a mess did you 😅
Not the first person of the fandom to say this, but Jay looks absolutely lovely with that flower crown 🌺🌺🌺
Oh poor greenie
Tumblr media
Lloyd just has the worst luck 😓
Jay: Why would I be the gift?
Kai: Yeah who would want Jay?
Nya: Huh, me?? 😡
Got some very good Jaya for this little special, can't complain 💙❤💙❤
I mean, not matter how big of a snake Wojira might turn out to be, we've already seen the biggest and the second biggest snake of all so 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Whoa, at last... IT WAS THE FIRST SPINJITZU MASTER THAT HAD SOMETHING HE SHOULD'VE TOLD WU A LONG TIME AGO!! 😱 Wu, you got pulled a Wu, how does it feel? 😂
Again, Jay freaking out, kinda my jam it's too funny 💙💙
Wow Kai way to be hominous offscreen 👏👏 I miss talking about my flame babe, this really isn't his time 🤷‍♀️
THE TOOTH OF WOJIRA
So when I first watched this I was genuinely, really excited about knowing the truth behind all this. It turned out very different from what I first thought, but at least in this case it's okay (besides I was pushing with the lightning meaning just to see Libber again 😅😅😅)
I feel like the guys get their powers stolen or blocked so much it takes them a minute to remember "Oh wait I can literally burn my way out" 🤷‍♀️
SPINJITZU YAY 🤩
I... forgot that Misako knows how to fight 😅 She knows how to do spinjitzu too if I remember correctly...
NYA BEING LIKE "OUT OF THE WAY IMMA SAVE MY BOYFRIEND AGAIN" ❤💙❤💙
Gotta love how they were all crazy worried about Jay, like, this is something that never changes through the show. They really care so so much for each other 💕💕💕
Ooohhhh, okay, so Wojira does seem to be the main villain of next season according to the story. I remember Tommy saying that we needed to have faith and this is probably why. The special was okay, nothing too much, and hopefully that too much we will see in Nya's season 😍😍😍
What the- pff, I didn't notice this the first time 😂
Tumblr media
At this point I can't tell if that one short with the chicken of the movie carried a hate or a love for chickens in the actual show 😂😂
Nice to see Jay standing up for himself at least for a little while 💪 Also Lloyd being "He's our trouble", aww family 💜
THERE IT IS
Tumblr media
MY BRUISE HEART IS SOARING 🖤💙🖤💙
Gotta give props to the voice actors, voicing an explanation while fighting must be pretty hard! WE ARE BLESSED WITH AN AMAZING CAST!!! 🤩🤩🤩
And there he is, our favorite jerk... shaved Ronin 😂 He does look a little weird, but it's fair, new animation and all. Not the weirdest until now 🤷‍♀️
I genuinely had to make a mental check to see where we are with Ronin now, like, he started as a villain, then a partner, he betrayed us, became an ally, he hunted the ninja, then joined them, that timeline was erased, he was around in SoG and... wow this man is chaotic 😂😂
Yaaaay, Twitchy's last minute redemption act! Lloyd is too good at motivational speeches 👏👏
A bit of Lava OTP/BrOTP
Tumblr media
Cause it's good for the heart ❤🖤❤🖤
Okay, Scooby doo reference, why not? Also honestly, I'm confident Ronin has seen A LOT of jails and prisons... probably won't stay behind bars for long 😅
Mammatus: sorry for imprisoning you and almost killing your friend
Kai: no biggie, that's how we make friends in this show
Alright the "And Clutch Powers" gag made me chuckle 😂 ... wait where is he- DANG IT UNCLE POWERS
Okay, this is the last time I say it I promise, but I mean. I MEAN
Tumblr media
THE ANIMATION GUYS 😍😍😍
Aaaaand sensei you jinxed it 😅 But you apparently awakened Nya's season so I'm gonna forgive you on this one 😉
FINAL THOUGHTS
There are a few little details that bothered me a little, and it wasn't as exciting as I maybe hoped it was going to be, but it was fine. Enjoyable still. These characters make me like the show, even when it got nothing too impactful 🤷‍♀️
But I got triggered about that lightning thing with Jay 😅 I guess I'll just fanfic whatever I had in mind...
Don't have to repeat myself about the animation *chef's kiss*
The writing was really less engaging, a little normal in a way? Idk just a feeling. Nice to see Ronin again though, I really like him. And nice to see Jay freaking out, I really like that too 😂
To be honest I wanted to put down my thoughts on this one because I REALLY wanna do the same with Nya's season 🤩🤩 I already know that Maya is gonna be there and I am so HAPPY already!!! 💙💙💙
So that's it from me! Thank you for reading me ranting, see you next season! 😊

Okay, I know Reki is your fave. (He's mine, too, honestly.) But I'm gonna ask you about JOE for the character headcanons.
Joe!!! Yay!!!! I know I mostly only post about Renga, but god do I love the rest of the Sk8 fam as well! But what makes you think Reki is my favorite? I say while wearing a Reki hoodie, writing basically only about Reki and about how adorable he is, searching the Reki tag at least 5 times a day to see if there's anything new, and having Reki's name on a loop in my brain 24/7
1: sexuality headcanon
This man is a flaming bisexual, must I say more?
2: otp
Matchablossom, obviously. Look at them! They're basically married
3: brotp
Joe and Reki. Reki 100% goes to Joe for all kinds of advice, ranging from skating tricks to "what does it mean when I dream of my best friend as my prince charming?" And Joe always tries to give him the best advice he can, but most of the time it's really shitty advice
4: notp
Joe x Reki. I don't know where I saw it but I DID NOT LIKE IT OMG MAKE IT GO AWAY
5: first headcanon that pops into my head
Joe feeds Miya every day, and he'll make him special orders to make sure Miya's getting healthy meals. I lowkey headcanon Miya being unable to eat when stressed, so I think Joe would put small portions of finger-foods next to Miya while he does homework and just pray that the kid eats them distractedly while working, not realizing that he's getting nutritious goods in his little growing body
6: one way in which I relate to this character
Adopting children that show interest in whatever I like (you can't convince me that Joe didn't adopt Miya, Reki, and Langa)
7: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
This is hyper specific but "Nice try, but I'm not adulting today" from the dub just makes me cringe so much??? I think it's the use of adult as a verb that just... I always have to pause and rethink everything when I watch the beach episode and come across that line (sorry I really can't think of anything at the moment, I usually suppress the second hand embarrassment to not have to live with it)
8: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
Cinnamon roll. Joe is a sweetheart and you can't change my mind

Well I'm asking!!! Poppy from Trolls! :D
XD gush, I love ya. As an artist and as a person
So yay! My dream comes true! Someone asks me, huray!
POPPY
What I like about her?
It will be a surprise for Ya I guess. I like that she's not perfect. She always tries her best to be absolutely perfect as a queen, as a friend and as a person. She's stubborn, overzealous, arrogant, loud, overreacting, desperate, always wants to do things on her own. She sings a lot about everything and everything can make her happy, cuz she sees good in everyone and everywhere!
Well, isn't that just description of me? Xd
So I like that I have a lot in common with this little 'perfectly positive' creature 💕
What I don't like?
Ok, there's something I hate in Poppy. She is so naive! So blind! I think about very specific person, I mean, Cloud Guy. I really can't stand why Poppy doesn't see he is just a jerk and a bully. She likes him and helps him and I hate when the episode ends with Poppy taking Branch into apologies Cloud Guy for I don't really know what. It's always Cloud Guy who should apologize! Ahrg, Cloud Guy is a true villain.
Sorry every Cloud Guy fan, but oh my gosh!
Favorite moment
.... It sounds weird, but I really like it when Poppy is sad. The same way I like when Pinkie Pie is sad xd She makes this little cute sad face, sits somewhere and holds her knees, or just stands hugging herself. It's always the moment when she says her true intentions and they're always just heart-warming. Someone comforts her and she makes this little cute smile! It's just so cute...
Yes, and I love when the one that comforts her is Branch. The very first ep of trollstopia has the cutest scene I could ever ask for.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She's such a sad little pie :3
Least favorite situations
When she forced Branch to apologize Cloud Guy! I was like "No no no no NO no No nO no noo NO noo nO noNoNoNo no noo..." the whole ep
The situation this character I want to see explored more
That's a difficult one... Well, it's not a situation', but I would LOVE to know what happened to her mum. And I love her every interaction with King Peppy. Oh yes, I want to see more father-daughter situations! They are so precious. The perfect thing would be Peppy telling Poppy about her mother.
Interesting Au for Poppy
Oh! The one where Poppy and Branch were pops villains! Jumbled Au! It's @hickoppy 's one. There was also Again Au, but author deactivated their blog :( Pity, cuz that was my fav one with interesting Poppy's character. On the very same blog was Au where Poppy was a Techno troll and Branch was a Rock troll, and it was fricking cuuuuteee
And I have to say at this point, my favorite version of Poppy in Aus is Poppy from Betrothed (it's really good fanfic, 100/10)
A crossover
I love the idea of ZEP in the trolls world, Zoey as a Poppy and (of course) Skylar Astin as a Branch. I saw so many crossovers in this fandom but this! I really like the Tangled one although
Oh! And Dragon Heart! This is an epic crossover
OTP
XD do I have to answer? Of course Broppy! I watched trolls, I said "gosh, I ship it so much" and then I popped into the fandom
But besides that, I also enjoy hickoppy and poppy x trollex (is there any name for this?). Poppy x cowboy is just too cool to not enjoy it. And Trollex? I feel like they would be on the same wavelength
Other ships?
Xd ok, I already answered this
BROTP?
Val, Holly and Poppy. This trio just wins every stage. I have even fav pic of them
Tumblr media
Look how cute they are together! Im really "loving awww-ing" person xd
And I love Poppy's friendship with Smidge. They're like cute, bonded sisters, especially when they hug 💕
NOPT
Well, suprize! It's not Creepy! I kinda don't hate Creepy at all. When you headcanon that Creek doesn't betray anyone, he's a nice character.
So my NOTP is... I don't know. Maybe Poppy x Val. Cause I think Val is much younger than Poppy and I find it kinda uncomfortable, but ya know. Ship what you want
An assortment of headcanons!
Wow! So, I headcanon Poppy's fav color is blue (I think it's canon, but no one says it out loud, so...)
I also headcanon Poppy as a workaholic and friendaholic. Which is also canon I guess... I don't know!
Oh, I know! I headcanon that Poppy's the longest 'bliss' (I hope you watched the second ep of Trollstopia) was 8 hours long and it was after Branch kissed her 😆 and that's why they don't very affectionate to each other cuz Branch doesn't want to wait after every kiss for Poppy's waking up xd

E! Fandom Intro Meme
Blank meme’s [HERE]
Figured I’d toss my own version of the Intro Meme out there - I made it, I might as well do the thing, right?
1. How’d you find this show and the fandom? How long have you been here? I’ve been here for exactly a year as of June 4th 2021. Stumbled over a link to the bloopers on TV Tropes. It came with a warning that said “NSFW, mostly for cursing” or something to that effect, which was, to put it mildly, unexpected, and I was curious enough to check them out. I was utterly delighted at the time-capsule nature of the bloopers, Julie London being single-handedly responsible for half of that nsfw warning, and Randy and Kevin’s complete inability to introduce themselves without cracking up, so I figured I’d give the show a chance. I was apprehensive at best and kind of expected an outdated, offensive mess (despite my love for old media - this isn’t the first older medical show I’ve checked out, and they tend to be, uh. Bad.) - and then one of the first episodes I watched was one with one of Brackett’s patented Emotion Pep Talks and that was kinda my first inkling that this show was special.  2. What made you stick around? Aside from the fandom? E!’s fundamental kindness. A handful of exceptions aside, this show has such respect and love for the people it portrays. Also, there’s just something highly unusual about the way E! deals with emotions, and I’m drawn to stuff like that like a moth to a flame. 3. Who’s your favorite character? Johnny, hands down. I know, I know, that’s a boring, standard answer, but it’s just the way it is. He’s a ridiculously fascinating protagonist, from the plausible neurodiversity to the interesting background and the vulnerability. 4. Are you a shipping kind of person? If yes, what are your favorite ships? My OTP is Johnny/Roy because, again, I’m boring (and a sucker for the piney bullshit those two are so very well-suited to) - but honestly, as far as fanworks go, I’m not picky. I’ve got a soft spot for Hank/Mike, I got a casual little Joe/Dix/Kel headcanon going on, and I’d be shipping Johnny/Chet if Johnny/Roy wasn’t so damned perfect.  5. Favorite moment/scene/quote? Yes, you can pick more than one. Why oh why don’t I have a list of these by now? I can never think of any in the moment. I think my first - but definitely not only - favorite scene is Johnny and Roy’s first meeting in the pilot movie, and the way Roy ends up sitting on the table. Also, the thing with the “you’re younger” - “you’re prettier” from Cook’s Tour. Mike and Hank’s turnout lapels. Dix being stuck in the vending machine. Pretty much every time Johnny and Roy so much as look at each other. 6. Do you have a favorite episode? Feel free to pick one per season if you can’t decide. Can’t decide, also don’t wanna do one per season, have some random ones: Decision/Problem, Frequency, The Hard Hours, and Promotion: For the interpersonal drama. Rip-Off, Audit: Different flavor of interpersonal drama. Peace Pipe: Just all-around remarkable. Virus, Snakebite, The Mouse: yay, Johnny owies Syndrome, Camera Bug, Parade, The Game, Santa Rosa, Insanity Epidemic, Bottom Line, Firehouse Quintet, Hypochondri-Cap: I just. I just really like a LOT of episodes, alright? 7. Most underrated character, either among the fandom or one the writers never utilized to their full potential? SO MANY in the actual show. The ones that come to mind immediately are Mike, Marco, Cap (with those tantalizing glimpses during S6; damn it why didn’t they renew the show for two seasons more or so) and Doctor Morton. Honestly, most of all I’d have liked to see more of Morton’s interactions with the paramedics in the later seasons once he’d more or less found his footing. Also, plenty of the random side characters, like the Eastern Bloc doctor or the adorable belly dancer or a couple of the nurses. Heck, I’d have loved it if the Rampart crew got a random postcard from Doctor-Knott-With-A-K featuring some cruise ship shenanigans.  8. One thing you’d have liked to see more (or less) of in the show? Okay, there’s a caveat: If I could hop into a time machine, go back in time and convince the producers and/or writers to change one thing, I’d just leave it be and buy them all some pizza instead. And then I’d go and bully some people into making the cartoon adaption not fucking suck instead. Anyway, the point is, I think it’s good that the show exists pretty much exactly like it does. I’ve never seen anything like it before, and it came to be through an utterly unique set of circumstances so there will almost certainly never be another show quite like it. I wouldn’t mess with that. From a purely hypothetical perspective, though, I’d have liked to see more... depth. Especially to all the crappy situations the lads end up in. E! likes to stay neutral, treat the camera as an impartial observer and trusts the viewer to go - for example - “shit, did Johnny just almost die??” without pointing it out, and in a way that is incredibly unusual and I actually quite like that, especially as a fic writer - the entire show is basically one big fic hook. You could just write Missing Scenes and Post-Episodes fic forever and you’d never run out of material.  But, yknow, I’d have liked it if they’d prodded at stuff like that a bit more, explored it just a bit more. Just occasionally.  9. Do you have a fanwork recommendation for us? Fic, art, video, whatever? I have a full page of fic recs.  Also, here’s a gorgeous Johnny/Roy fanvid I’ve been unable to get out of my mind for months now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYhnTfCEXnY
10. Any fanworks you’d like to see? Yes, ANY NEW FANWORKS, lol. I still have about a hundred tabs open with older fic I’m reading through for the rec list (and there are likely hundreds more and an entire usenet group I haven’t even looked at yet), but fanfic has changed a LOT since the late 90′s and early 00′s and I’m curious to see more of the modern stuff as well. -More ship fic, because we’re actually still comparatively short on that, at least as far as ones with a romantic focus or for rarer pairings go. Somebody posted the first Johnny/Chet fic on AO3 in three years a while back, so that was cool to see. Love me some variety. -More not-quite-as-serious hurt/comfort featuring Johnny (or Cap, actually? Give Mike something to fuss about) because I know this might be a relatively unpopular opinion but I prefer my characters Mildly Inconvenienced instead of nearly dying. -Also, more fic where Cap tries to figure out his guys, especially Johnny. -Actually, just plain more Cap fic.  -Johnny/Roy slowburn fic, which I’m supposed to be writing right now, but my point about the reading just not being the same when you’re the one writing the thing still stands. -More fanart would be really cool to see, too - I know we have at least one other fan artist hanging around here, but two people for one fandom’s not a lot, and I don’t know if it still shows but I’m rubbish at drawing characters interacting with each other. Which is exactly what I’d want to see more fanart of.  (I’m actually working on polishing my art skills some more solely so I can draw that, but there’s only 24 hours in a day and even I gotta sleep sometimes, lol)
(... so basically, I’m not running out of ideas for stuff to write for the foreseeable future. I actually have a physical Fic Ideas List. It’s starting to get a bit ridiculous.)
11. Any favorite headcanons you’d like to tell us about? My usual go-to’s of “Johnny’s not neurotypical” and “I don’t care about how counter it runs to canon evidence, Johnny’s pen is the one he borrowed from Roy” aside? I have this little headcanon that Johnny was a huge part of the reason why Roy decided to re-take the paramedics course. 
12. Free space! Anything else you’d like to mention? The most impressive thing about E! is the way it transcends time. I just cannot get it into my head that this show is almost 50 years old. I know the technology should show it, I know everything about this show should be a constant reminder of its age, but there’s just something about it that’s remained fresh. I don’t know how the show manages to be so intentionally dated through its focus on then-state-of-the-art tech and still so weirdly timeless, but it does.  (and then I see some promo pictures or tie-in stuff that’s aged particularly badly and the passage of time just kind of hits me in the face like a bag of bricks)
(And on a fandom note, I just wanted to add that I may be painfully bad at reacting to things sometimes - this blog is basically Powered By Weirdbrains and that’s usually not a bad thing but sometimes it does get in the way; I’m working on it though - but as long as tumblr deigns to actually tell me about reblogs/replies/new E! posts I do read and appreciate all of it so much)
