Episode 3 (OPLA)

-Usopp’s introduction oh booy (Jacob honey, you are so on point,, it’s kind of scary - but in a good way)

-Nami’s glasses appreciation

-Our beloved first Rolly Roger making a spectacular appearance

-”Nami, I think that the toilet is busted””We don’t have a toilet””Oh” 

-Still “Not a crew”

-Luffy lines in general, just chef kiss

-Helmeppo getting what he deserves for being a bratty shit

-Luffy disarming Nami’s sarcastic comments

-Zoro and Nami getting in agreement that they are still stealing the ship

-Luffy and Usopp already sharing one brain cell, even if they just meet

-Garp playing with Koby like he plays with Sengoku

-Sham is a woman

-One complain that I have is that I would prefer Klahadore being more slim and tall, but I understand that it’s not realistic in any way or form, but his face is very very on point

-Luffy just accepting the invitation of this random rich girl to dinner, and the rest just rolling with it (yeah yeah NOT A CREW, my ass)

-Nami being shown that hates rich people (I think is very on point for her and a nice addition)

-Showing more of Kaya and Usopp relationship in general, and how much he cares about her and visiting her for her birthday and giving her a present and how much Kaya appreciates him too (Idk it just felt more real and important that in the manga or the anime)

-Btw the creepy blue tea and soup it’s a nice touch

-The closet scene, every single line is gold. Luffy not getting the point of Nami showing clothes. Zoro in the bathrobe complaining that he wants to wear black to Nami. Nami handing him the T-shirt that he would end up wearing and complaining about them. Nami betting with Luffy. As I said, Chef Kiss

-Kladahore being the gigantic asshole that he is in every piece of media

-Garp being a mentor for Koby getting the attention that deserves

-The outfits for the dinner party, OMG, everyone looked gorgeous and rightfully so

-Usopp and Luffy still sharing the same brain cell

-Usopp doing heart eyes to Kaya went he walks down the stairs

-Nami wearing Kaya’s mother dress and starting to realize that Kaya is nice

-Zoro naming the place where Jango would end up starting his friendship/relationship with Fullbody 

-Nami’s girl boss energy

-Luffy correcting Kaya about being pirates and everyone reacting to it (Nami throwing daggers at Luffy, Usopp spitting his drink and Zoro facepalming)

-Luffy’s speech in general 10/10

-The scene with the knives of Kuro making Merry a butterfly (poor Merry :c)

-Arlong making his first appearance and showing that he is scary bitch and he will really own the East Blue easy

-Buggy being the rat that he is, throwing Luffy under the bus

-All the Straw Hats leaving their rooms (Zoro for alcohol, Lufffy for food and Nami for objects)

-Zoro already getting lost, not accepting that is his fault, as usual

-Nami and Kaya’s new friendship

-”Kaya needs me” 

-Usopp and Kaya explaining to the Strawhats that they are NOT a COUPLE when all they have seen is them looking at each other with heart eyes and being in love

-Usopp also listing all the qualities of Kaya, like bitch YOUR CRUSH IS SHOWING

-”You are asking the wrong guy” 

-”Okay. But if you were Kaya would you like me?” “I already like you” Oh, Luffy sweety 

-Usopp and his daddy issues being represented is something that I like a lot. In the manga and the anime Usopp is totally fine with it, and I didn’t like it at all so for me this is a very good change. (I honestly hate Yasopp for leaving Usopp behind, I mean you can say a lot of things about Garp's terrible parenting skills but he at least cares about Luffy, Dragon cares more about Luffy than Yasopp about his own son, and that is saying something. Even Roger had a good excuse to not be there for Ace. I am just mad, but that has nothing to do with the Live Action so moving on)

-”If you’re gonna talk about feelings, I’m really gonna need a drink” Zoro what a mood

-Koby believing Usopp 

[sibunaranks]

rank peddie kisses?

Okay i waited on this because this is SO IMPORTANT. I rewtached them all and here is their ranking (i would love to give all of them 10/10 but i didn't let myself)

This is my child. I took it way too serious. Also I included Almost Kisses and Piper Kisses. Sue me.

First Kiss - 1000000/10 - Okay this one is perfection for so many reasons. Starting with the aesthetic of the double leather jackets. Perfection. Then you get to the deep down. Eddie is pouring his heart out and he is so desperate and she is ALSO desperate for a totally different reason (to just tell him how she feels but she can't cuz the hex) and both of them are just feeling so much urgency and he's about to give up on her but he doesn't want to so he's being more vulnerable for her than anyone else in his whole life and she does the only thing she knows and kisses him HER FIRST EVER KISS and the kiss itself is so sweet and so satisfying to finally get. So good they go in for another one (that doesn't happen) but yeah it's the start of an era.

The Almost Kiss- 4/10 - VICTOR THE COCKBLOCK RODENMARR HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO US. Anyway the "guess you could call me fearless." was smooth but the rest was Eddie being a total cringy boi trying to "play cool". Stillit's sweet so it gets some points. ALSO points for asking her if he can when he knows she's struggling to communicate. Also, their disappointed faces are so cute and saddd. Thoughtful boy in love. Girl in love too.

The Piper Kiss - 1/10 - THIS ONLY GETS A POINT BECAUSE OF THE SET UP. The way he looks at her when he's talking to jerome is just HEART EYES. He's so smitten. but like him kissing piper is soooo awkward and theres no chem (how can jade and burkley have sooo much chem and nikita and him have zero?) and OFMG who THE FUCK on the writing team wrote "smackeroo?" i hate that word SO MUCH.

The ALMOST Piper Kiss - 2/10 - Same thing no chem but OMG THE LEAD UP AND THE COMEDY. Like the hand holding, the "your a big part of who i am" the "Be you." I AM MELTING. Then the comedy ofc with Patricia like OMFG DEAD and Eddie instantly knows which she is gets one of the top eddie cute moments ever.

Pretty much Alone *Eyebrow waggle* (tunnels)- 5/10 - DEAD. TOO FUNNY. NOT EVEN A KISS BUT HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE BEST SCENE IN THE WHOLE SHOW AND THE ALMOST KISS IN IT NEEDS A RANKING. Was i bias giving it a 5? yes. Do i care? no.

Eddies reward (Library Kiss)- 7/10 - Not my favorite but we get some good camera angles and the lighting in the library is chef's kiss. Simple kiss. Not much to say.

House of Rainbows- 8/10 - Parralels the first kiss so well but because the first kiss was better (imho) I couldn't rank this as high. Still8 out of 10 is good because this is the SIMPtricia kiss. She's smitten after she's done being mad. Also me and my friends used to quote the ever hysterical "good question! I was kidnapped!" forever so bias. ALSO one of the best parts of the parralels is that in the first kiss she kisses him because she can't talk and in this one he kisses her because she wont shut up. cuties. :)

Friends - 6/10 - I WANNA ENJOY THIS KISS SO MUCH MORE BUT THE AFTEMATH OF IT IS SO BAD. Like sheinstantly gets mad again and it's all ruined but boy without that this ones a keeper. Short and simple but so pretty.

Gatehouse - 9/10 - I wanted to give this 100000 because of eddie (he legit runs the whole thing) but i can't give it higher than 9 with the fact that Patricia isn't Patricia. Still THE SPEECH. Ugh if you know you know.

Fireworks- 10/10 - ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ......a ten. It's perfect.I love it. Best of the season.Eddie loves her so much and she's so insecure but he would never not let her know how much he loves her. and they're just THEM like the games the insults the everything! True power couple.

TOR - 9/10 - This one omg has my heart. She's worried about him, and rightfully so. They might never see eachother again but they won't let that come to their mouth in words. They speak there maybe goodbhye through their kiss and wow are they so in love it's craazy. Super couple Peddie we love you. Would get a 10 if it was a lil longer or had better angles tbh.

Favorite wolf 359 episodes

1) The watch tower

It’s so interesting to see the aliens reasoning and understanding of the universe and why it’s needed, and I love the song that goes with the reveal, and how Doug is both the child and adult in this situation, both asking Bob to give him the kids glove treatment and trying to patiently explain things like an exasperated parent

2) Am I alone now? It’s the episode that made me care about this podcast. We hear from everyone and Heras speech about the solar flair and how she doesn’t know if she’s going to miss them fucking kills me

3) Boléro. Like a better version of team what’s wrong with handcuffs. Effiel is tired, and he hates this, and everyone who’s dead has tried to kill him at least once, but he’ll be fucked if they aren’t going to be people about this, if they aren’t going to treat them as people and loose all control of decency. Heras talk about what the point of this is and why they had to die, and her complicated feelings of getting betrayed by a friend and not knowing how to feel, and Minkowskis feelings of inadequacy…. Girl I am UNWELL

4) Time to kill. Not much to say about this one. It’s a Halloween favorite of mine and the idea of them sitting there for hours after that is chilling. No matter which version it is, there was A Jacobi out there who’s friends let him die. The dread and fear and tragedy in that episode are overwhelming

5) memoria. To feel there is something wrong with you your entire life, to find out the thing tripping you up was your own anxieties? To have to look at that and go “this is a part of me I can’t remove and have to live with, but because I know it’s there now, I can work around it. I’m not okay, but I’m going to be.”

6) Into the depths. Ok listen. The aliens telling Kepler that just because hes violent doesn’t mean he has a say in anything is delicious. Them communicating with Doug who is terrified and has no idea what the fuck they’re saying is delicious. Lovelace saying I’m choosing to be this person? 10/10. Minkowski going even if I think you were wrong you were willing to make a choice? Chef kiss. This episode can do no wrong

7) Wolf 359 live: deep space survival procedure and prodigal. This episode is comedy genius. The voice recording Eiffel going that’s impossible and everyone telling it to shut up, the microwave gag, the role-playing between Effielf and Minkowski? Top teir. Him utterly failing at keeping the meeting cool and immediately giving them away? So good. Loveless being just so fucking pissed and confused? Light of my life

8) Let’s kill Hilbert. Like a diet version of Boléro. Early enough that it could be naïveté but relistening makes you go wow doug really is the moral back bone of the ship, and at the end him offering the different options for Hera and her taking all three gets me every time

9) Mission mishaps: a little night music. 1: it’s funny to hear someone verbally describe that kind of music 2: him having a breakdown midway 3: the fact that hilbert would’ve known about the aliens if he listened to like 10 secs 4: his fake fancy accent

10) Minkowski commanding. Seeing her loose her mind is funny but the revelation that the plant just wanted to not be alone in the dark always got me like 😭🥺🥺🥺

"Writters aren’t exactly people. They're a whole bunch of people trying to be one person" -F. Scott Fitzgerald

I don’t think there is one ask I havent said this, but I will say it again: Fuck Shinyun and Asmodeus!!! Leave my Magnus Babe alone!!!

YOU LOVE HIM MAGNUS! JUST SAY IT! *I wont say I'm in love starts playing*

Magnus has never really felt safe anywhere. Never. That’s weird. Maybe even sad. Get this man some love and affection😭😭

I figured it out! The true enemy of this fic is the foreshadowing we made along the way 🙂🔪

Lily!! She is a queen and a godness!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!💙💙💙💙 Can I marry her???!? She is the best character of the day dont @ me

“Fine. Only because you two look like you make very bad decisions at parties.” Raphael only saying yes to Lily!!! That friendship gets to me every time😭😭

Idk I just feel Magnus is one of those people that in their POV things actually made so much sense but for the rest is like: wtf ???

“I know,” Alec replies. “But there is a safe way.” All of that scene was really sad but at the same time realistic bc unfortuately it is that way for many people...

Just. Alec taking Magnus to Indonesia and Rafael to Argentina. Dont touch me I'm soft🥺🥺🥺

Alec and Rafe being so done omg😂

HELL YEAH HE IS FINALLY ABLE TO BE THE WAY HE WANTS!!! I'M SO PROUD OF HIM😭🥺

"I'm always looking at bapak." RANDOM POETRY>>>

Max is so done with Malec being horny 😂 Cant blame Alec tho... Magnus looks stunning!!👀

The speech was 1000/10 *chef kiss*

"The little shit always manages to surprise him." You love that lil shit dont lie!! Jshdksbdj

Diego and Rafael are family and I'm crying and😭

My beautiful Selena!!! She is always helping other people and she is my unproblematic babe🥺🥺 ALSO YESS NICE TO MEET YOU JAZMÍN!!! (should I thank her for bringing that Gorgeous Gabriel into existence or is it weird?)

Me reading Selena's part: 🎶I think I've seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending🎶

Pressing into places that are familiar to no one but her. Removing the pressure he shows to no one but her. Rosewood lives on my mind 24/7 rent free ❤️❤️

So in lbaf Max "tried" to kill Rafe and in tlnd Rafe punched Max?? Okok just normal problems jdusjdngcgk

Rafael sometimes finds it annoying. The way Max laughs. He hates it even. It’s so loud. Like he doesn’t care – about anything. He wonders if he hates it because he can never laugh that way – with not a care in the world. No thoughts. Head empty. Just wow.

Not ones you know anyway. Oh so he has a secret.... Interesting 👀

"Everyone is hiding something, Rafe.” Why is it that I love quotes that involve something secretive???

David would be so disappointed in you. Why do they insiste on hurting me?? 😭

All this fic hurts on a deep level, but Rafael and Max's scenes and POV's just hit so fucking much. Idk why, they are both so complex and their relationship is flawed but so on point and they always argue but they are there for each other and in this essay I will-

Anyway, I'm tired af so I will go to sleep. I'm planing on finishing a book this weekend and I think I finally have the time to edit my story so I will use this weekend to be really productive!!

Bye and please take care with everything going on! Stay safe Dani���

Okay but this quote me a crisis, dude. Like you know how when you write a story, you write ALL the characters? How do we as writers do that? How do write eloquent Alec and Bitchy Zara and Traumatised Magnus and Cocky Max and all of that kdsjncvkjsdn WRITERS ARE AMAZING!

Anyhoo.

I'm glad you liked this chapter and I hope you got some sleep! Good luck with the story editing. If you need any help or feedback or anything at all, you can message me 💚

Bones seasons ordered from my least favorite to absolute favorite.

I finished my Bones rewatch (the first one since it ended and I loved the show even more than before ❤) and, although it wasn't easy, I finally have my ranking of every season. This was super hard for me because I love all Bones and even the seasons that aren't my favorites are very close to my heart.

Season 10:

The season started strong with Booth in prison and the team trying to discover who was behind the conspiracy; however, the resolution of the arc was very disappointing. Sweets' death was a hard blow for the fandom because it was so unexpected (he wasn't my favorite but I was shocked when he was killed). Aubrey joined the team and I "liked" him, although I didn't like that he appeared too much while Booth & Brennan, ironically, faded into the background for some episodes of S10.

Speaking of Booth & Brennan, they seemed out of rhythm and somewhat unconnected for most of the season (specifically after the 200th episode). Booth's relapse into gambling was not received well by the fandom because it seemed like a cheap excuse to create drama between him and Brennan (thank God they didn't drag it for long).

However, although S10 was lackluster for Booth & Brennan as a couple, Christine got recast for an older child. Sunny was an absolute sweetheart that injected Christine with so much life and joy, and Emily and David's chemistry with her and their scenes together were a delight to watch. The 200th in the 10th was an absolute dream, and vintage Booth & Brennan were so *chef's kiss*. That episode plus The Lost Love in the Foreign Land and The Lost in the Found were the only ones I truly liked. The final episode of season 10 was designed to serve as a series finale in case the show wasn't renewed, but if you compare it to the actual series finale you can see how it wouldn't have been as satisfying as the real one.

Season 8:

Very much like season 10, season 8 started strong but fell flat. S8 had a promising beginning with the team trying to clear Brennan's name and Booth & Brennan's crisis after being apart for 3 months. Sadly, the lack of interesting cases and the infamous Pelant arc, one of the worst things the show ever did, made S8 lackluster at times. The only episodes I truly like are The Future in the Past, The Shot in the Dark, and The Patos in the Pathogens.

However, I didn't hate everything about S8. Three of my favorite Booth & Brennan moments come from this season: the final scene from 8x02, the undercover episode at the dancing competition (THEIR DANCE OMFG), and Brennan's magical marriage proposal, which I can quote from memory and I'm not even ashamed to admit it 🤩😍. Also, this season gave me Cam & Arastoo, one of my favorite couples from the show.

Season 3:

Not my favorite season, mostly because it was cut short due to the Writers Guild of America strike and felt rushed at moments. The Gormogon arc started strong but had a very, extremely anti-climatic conclusion, and the decision to make Zack his apprentice was... controversial to say the least (Zack was never one of my favorites but even I raised an eyebrow at the twist). Sweets joined the show this year, and for a hot moment, I swore he was going to end up being Gormogon!

Despite the mess, S3 has three of my favorite episodes: The Mummy in the Maze (legendary Halloween episode!) The Verdict in the Story (Max's trial had me on the edge), and The Wannabe in the Weeds, which has a lot of music and singing. Also, Booth's speech to Brennan about making love from Death in the Saddle? Offff.

Season 1:

Ah, yes, Bones' legendary freshman year. Although I like other seasons more than this one, season 1 holds a very special place in my heart because if I hadn't liked it I wouldn't have become such a diehard bonehead. S1 suffers from "season one syndrome", the natural struggle new shows go through as they find their rhythm and the characters develop their personalities. However, it also has more original cases and situations compared to later seasons.

This season has two of my all-time favorite episodes, also considered among the show's best: The Man in the Fallout Shelter (a top 5 episode for me and the one that made me fall in love with the show), and The Woman in Limbo, which answers the question of what happened to Brennan's parents, a mystery I initially thought was going to be present for the entire run of the show.

Season 5:

The main arc of the season featured Booth struggling with his feelings for Brennan, and it was a build-up to the magical 100th episode (one of my top 5 episodes). The Parts in the Sum of the Whole took us back to B&B's first case together and has one of the best, if not the best scene in the entire show (but also the saddest one).

Season 5 highlights include Angela & Hodgins rekindling their relationship and getting married (love my Hodgela babies ❤), Cyndi Lauper guest-starring as a psychic, and the introduction of Booth's grandfather Pops. There are 3 episodes I really love which are The Plain in the Prodigy, The Proof in the Pudding, and obviously The Parts in the Sum of the Whole. Also, the season finale is one of the saddest because it has Booth & Brennan parting ways for a year, and it is filled with uncertainty.

Season 7:

This season changed the dynamic of the entire show. Now, I won't deny I felt robbed when I first watched S7 because I had waited for 6 seasons for B&B to become a couple and then they had them jump from 0 to 100 in two episodes (literally). That said, once I got past my initial shock I enjoyed S7 very, very much. Although short (the second shortest season of the show) two very important things happened: the beginning of the Pelant arc, which started strong but crossed over ridiculous territory in S8, and the debut of Booth & Brennan as a couple. Also the cliffhanger of Brennan escaping with Christine because she was framed for murder? EPIC.

The thing I love the most about this season is seeing B&B adapting to sharing their lives, and every scene that involves them discussing their impending parenthood or spending time with baby Christine makes me melt 🥺 Some of my favorite B&B moments from this season are when Brennan shows Booth her ultrasound; when they visit the Mighty Hut for the first time; the absolute chaos surrounding Christine's birth; and the final scene from 7x13 in which Brennan tells Booth she loves him and that she doesn't want him to believe Christine is the only reason they are together. Bonus: Brennan trying to see the world through Booth's eyes and even behaving like him.

I like most of the episodes from S7, but my favorites have to be The Hot Dog in the Competition, The Prince in the Plastic, The Prisoner in the Pipe, and The Past in the Present.

Season 12:

The show's shortest season and its senior year, S12 had the task of tying some loose ends and giving a satisfying conclusion to the story, which is always a difficult challenge for final seasons. However, I think S12 did a pretty awesome job in providing a worthy send-off to Bones, which is what a show of its caliber and with such a large and devoted fanbase deserved.

Season 12 was full of callbacks: Brennan wanting to read Christine her very first book (which she had recently published in the Pilot); B&B listening to 'Hot Blooded' one last time; Angela & Brennan reminiscing about how they used to go to clubs years before, among others. But the biggest of them being the son of the warlord Booth killed on his sniper days (and who Booth mentioned to Brennan in season 1) coming back for revenge. There were also lots of easter eggs, most of them in the series finale: Booth's speech to Brennan was full of references to the history of their relationship; Brennan telling the interns what she remembered about them; and all the objects the Jeffersonian squad found in the rubble of their offices.

The entire season had a strong feeling of nostalgia from start to finish. You could notice that the writers worked hard to give fans some of the things we wanted or had requested for years, like Brennan's birthday party, a final undercover episode, and the return of some characters like Zack and Gordon Gordon. Although watching the Jeffersonian being blown up was painful as fuck, good series finales excel at showing you how much the characters have grown since the Pilot, and the Bones finale did exactly that. It was respectful to both the characters and the audience, it was nostalgic but very emotional, and every character had a fitting and satisfying ending.

The weakest spot of the season, in my opinion, was the conclusion of The Puppeteer arc. The Hope in the Horror was very tense and a good episode overall, but I was disappointed with how they chose to end the storyline (especially since The Puppeteer was the highlight of season 11). Despite this I enjoy most episodes, especially The Hope in the Horror, The Price in the Past, The Scare in the Score, The Day in the Life and, of course, The End in the End.

Season 6:

I see seasons 5 & 6 as two parts of one huge, 40+ episode season. Just like S5 has Booth struggling with his feelings for Brennan, S6 is the other way around. Seeing Brennan coming to terms with her feelings for Booth and finally admitting she regrets not giving their relationship a chance is one of my favorite arcs ever. S6 was weird because due to Booth being with Hannah his relationship with Brennan became slightly strained, but they were still very close. Also, this is the final season with Booth & Brennan not being a couple, so it's interesting to see them during the second half of the season after Booth breaks up with Hannah.

Another thing I really like from S6 is the focus on Angela & Hodgins dealing with their pregnancy and with the possibility of their baby being born blind, and they had very sad but also cute scenes.

From this season my favorite episodes are The Doctor in the Photo (top 5 episode for me), The Blackout in the Blizzard, and The Pain in the Heart.

Season 11:

A vast improvement from the lackluster previous year, season 11 featured a second wind for Booth & Brennan and they regained the spark they lost in season 10 (and the show as a whole had a rebirth). The bickering and playful nature of their relationship, the basis of the show's success, was lost amidst the chaos of season 10 but came back into full force this year.

S11 had interesting storylines and mostly good episodes from start to finish. After years of stability, Angela & Hodgins suffered a hard blow after Hodgins was injured in an explosion that put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, which brought plenty of drama for the couple. Arastoo & Cam went back together for good and Jessica & Aubrey, a popular couple among the fandom, blossomed during S11. The Puppeteer looked like a promising serial killer and the two episodes of the arc were the best of the season.

S11 had a bunch of really good episodes, my favorites being The Loyalty in the Lie & The Brother in the Basement (the two-hour season premiere), The Monster in the Closet, The Movie in the Making and, naturally, The Nightmare in the Nightmare, one of the finest season finales in the show's history and one of the best episodes overall, with Brennan's creepy-as-fuck nightmares and the reveal of serial killer!Zack (or so it seemed).

Season 2:

Hart Hanson and Co. took notes of both the strong and weak aspects of season 1, and that's why Bones' sophomore year is one of the best seasons of the show. The relationships evolved and there were interesting and engaging cases, with little-to-no filter.

My favorite storylines of the season are Cam's addition to the team; Booth & Brennan's legendary first undercover mission; and Angela & Hodgins becoming a couple (bless whoever had this idea). Season 2 gets bonus points thanks to Aliens in a Spaceship, the first episode of the Gravedigger arc and universally considered the best episode of the entire series. Also, the Howard Epps' arc (which began in S1) was very entertaining to watch and Booth & Brennan achieved peak sexual tension™ despite the drama of Brennan being in a relationship with Sully.

My favorite episodes from season 2 are The Blonde in the Game, The Girl with the Curl, Aliens in a Spaceship (GOAT), The Man in the Cell, Bodies in the Book, and Stargazer in a Puddle.

Season 4:

Objectively speaking nothing particularly important happened in this season, but I liked it very much. The introduction of Brennan's interns was something I loved, and S4 has my all-time favorite episode: The Double Death of the Dearly Departed, a super stupid but very funny hour which is chaotic as hell but is peak Bones comedy. Also, this season has really cute Booth & Brennan interactions :3

Other highlights include B&B joining the circus (my favorite undercover episode), Booth being kidnapped by the Gravedigger, and the debut of the 447 mystery in Booth's post-surgery dream (a somewhat odd but entertaining episode).

My favorite episodes from season 4 are The Passenger in the Oven, Double Trouble in the Panhandle, The Hero in the Hold, and The Double Death of the Dearly Departed.

Season 9:

My favorite for 3 reasons: Pelant finally went back to hell where he belonged, Booth & Brennan's magical wedding, and this being the first season of them being a married couple. Although their relationship was pretty much unchanged, there were some subtle details that my shipper heart loved like them calling each other "husband" and "wife". Also, this was probably the happiest year for the fandom (Pelant's death + Booth & Brennan finally getting married + lots of BTS material = we were thriving!)

The Ghost Killer arc was surprisingly short but I liked the twist of the team discovering her identity after she was already dead. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed most of this season's episodes, and even the ones I found to be slow were pretty enjoyable to me (except The Nazi in the Honeymoon, that episode was such a disappointment and a wasted opportunity).

My favorite episodes from S9 are The Secrets in the Proposal (DRAMA), The Cheat in the Retreat (so chaotic), The Woman in the List (preparations for Booth & Brennan's wedding, yay!), The Woman in White (one of my 5 favorite episodes ever, so magical), The Mystery in the Meat (Brennan's bachelorette party was super funny), The Spark in the Park, Big in the Philippines, and The Nail in the Coffin. Also, let's not forget The Recluse in the Recliner, probably the best season finale in the show's history.

[swordofpevensie]

As I've seen it again, here are my favorite things about Prince Caspian (2008):

warnings: It is a very long post and I can't help but swear sometimes.

• How Caspian is confused all the time.

• Prefossor: “Don't use that until you really need to use it.”

Caspian: *Uses it the first time he is in danger.* Good job boy, good job.

• “Phyllis.” “SUSAN!” (Lucy does the same thing in tvodt *emotional voices*)

• That disappinted look in Susan's eyes when she sees Peter fighting, and they way she doesn't do anything to help him. Like girl they are beating your brother??

• Edmund comes and saves Peter by simply jumping on everyone who is trying to hurt Peter. We love a clever and quick boi™

• Lucy's little comfort to Peter. *sniffing*

• Peter's iconic hair, that rebel and sassy hair.

• “I'm not touching you!” “I'M NOT HOLDING YOUR HAND!”

• How happy they are at the beach and the way they finally can have pure fun. *more sniffing*

• Narnia is so beautiful in summer and Pevensies look so beautiful too.

• And for my own please, I'll mention how beautiful Peter looks when he is playing in the sea and walking among the ruins.

• The way Lucy holds Peter's hand to show him the way and THE TORCH SCENE GETS ME EVERYTIME.

• Everyone is like where the hell are we and Lucy is just enjoying her apple.

• And again for my own pleasure, I'll mention how beautiful Susan looks.

• “wHiCh cHeSs sEt?” “whOt?” We love a one confused king.

• That shot when they all stand in their places in the ruins and Peter says “Cair Paravel.” I'm like YES SIR I'M READY TO SACRIFICE MY WHOLE LIFE FOR YOU.

• I'm lowkey attracted to General Glozelle. (shameful sniffing)

• I like it that Edmund is the first one to figure out what might have happened to Cair Paravel. And our confused king is again like “whOt?”

• C'mon Peter is very committed to make a torch and it is SO CUTE. And Edmund watching him is so funny, he is like ‘I'm about to end this man's whole career.’

• I'll not tell my thoughts on the time Peter takes his sword. I'm trying to be a good. *choughs*

• Boom! “Drop him!” YOUR QUEEN IS BACK YOU IDIOTS! OOOH HOW I LOVE SUSAN.

• Peter jumping to the water and Lucy using his dagger to cut the ropes.

• “High King Peter, the Magnificent.” I mean if I were magnificent just like him, I'd tell it loud very frequently too.

• Edmund using sword... 10/10 His final pose 20/10. *chefs kiss and sniffing*

• “Or do I have to sit on your head again?” Narnians and humor? Count me in!

• Caspian's accent... YES SIR.

• “I'm Prince Caspian... The tenth.” and “High King Peter, The Magnificent.” are cousins and you can't tell me otherwise.

• “Running away.” Oh just come into my arms you sad and broken boi. *too many sniffings*

• Proffesor inside: Eheheh they are back. You are a dead man now Miraz.

• That underwater shot... 10/10. Peter paddling... 10/10. All of them sitting in silent, sadly... Okay this one hurts A LOT.

• “We didn't mean to leave you know.” *no more sniffing i'm crying*

• Lucy greeting and trusting in a bear is me vs. life. Susan saying a bear to stay away from Lucy is me vs. life again.

• Peter helping Lucy to stand up and her hugging Peter for comfort.

• And that bear scene is very clever to me. It shows that those bad times have an effect on everyone. How even Narnians, kind, gentle, happy Narnians turned into wild creatures because of bad times. Also Susan not killing the bear immediately shows how gentle she is and she always gives a chance.

• “I can hear you.” We love a done™ prince. And him asking questions about Narnia is so cute!

• That zoom to Caspian's face is kiLLING ME.

• AND REEPICHEEP I'd kill and die for him unless he kills and dies for me first.

• CENTAURS ARE BACK!!! Oh I love them so much.

• “You can't carry a map in your heads.” “That's because we have something in them.” LUCY DIDN'T STUTTER.

• “i'M nOt lOst.” My baby tries so hard I love him bye.

• “OH SHUT UP!” is one of my favorite Peter lines. Also he is very sassy and why is no one talking about it?? (I'll talk about it later btw, eheh)

• IF SOMEONE BELIEVED AND LISTENED TO LUCY THE FIRST TIME SHE SPEAKS, THINGS WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER AND EASIER FOR ASLAN'S SAKE.

• And Edmund supporting Lucy? We love a supportive and cute brother.

• Caspian is so brave and the speech he gives... *CHEFS KISS* I mean I would fight and die for him too. And when Narnians believe in him, I cry even more. (++Ben Barnes' voice in that accent... Gets me every freaking time).

• The look in Peter's face when he sees the making of the bridge. He is like “Not my kingdom, you bitches!”

• The conversaion between Lucy and Susan... I hate to think their struggles, adjusting to Narnia, adjusting to England.

• Lucy telling a tree to wake up is me vs. life, again.

• The way Peter just comes and hides her out of nowhere... WE LOVE A PROTECTIVE BROTHER.

• When Caspian and Peter fights... Okay, for your safety I'll shut up but the way Peter is ready to hit him with a rock is both funny and shows how a quick and smart fighter he is.

• “PETAH!” Okay Susan, we get it honey.

• “Well if you like, we can come back in a few years.” LIKE WHY IS NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT HIS SASS??

• “You were right to fear the woods.” IS. EXCELLENT.

• Caspian and Peter walking in the front and talking casually. My heart goes *butterlifes* *looove*

• When the papa centaur rises baby centaur's sword... *a loud sniff* .

• I love that there are pictures of Pevensies and Golden Age on the walls. It makes me feel so majestic.

• Caspian: *dramatically lights fire*

• They are looking at The Stone Table and Caspian in the back is like look at the mess you made.

• When Peter and Caspian talk at the same time.

• “There is always a first time.” THAT. SASS. AND CONFIDENCE.

• “We could collect nuts!” “Yes, and throw them at Telmarines!” Reepicheep... Love you babe.

• Okay the whole castle stuff is so freaking cool until the last minutes. Like Edmund and his torch, Susan and THE WAY HE KILLS A MAN BY THROWING AN ARROW.

• But... Caspian babe, kill your bastard uncle anyways.

• And it just should be said: I love how Narnians are always ready to sacrifice themselves because freedom is much more important than their lives. They are not afraid of death as long as it means to get freedom back.

• That poor cat... I don't know what to say.

• You are attacking a castle and your baby Caspian just casually knocks the window.

• Professor doing his best to help Caspian escape and then seeing him back in the castle again... I mean a disappointment level I can relate.

• I wish I could be woken up at night by Caspian, with a sword on my throat? Depends on my mood.

• Miraz being so done is a mood.

• They all are in Miraz's bedroom like:

• Edmund literally headbutts a man wearing a metal helmet. I am speechless.

• You don't have sword? Don't worry you have a torch... just don't break it.

• Reepicheep and his friends pushing that thing makes me cry and scream.

• “Who exactly are you doing this for Peter?” THE LOOK ON PETER'S FACE.

• When Peter screams “FOR NARNIA!”

• My Queen Susan throwing an arrow to man and killing him despite his armour. I. LOVE. ONE. POWERFUL. QUEEN.

• Sometimes I wish I was an minatour.

• Edmund kicking that dude's head by sliding. A simple and powerful move.

• OKAY SO MIRAZ PUSHING THIS MINATOUR IS VERY PERSONAL TO ME. AND I AM VERY PISSED OF.

• And that minatour holding the door. I love you, you strong and scary baby. And I always will.

• When Edmund casually jumps back, I hear Blow Your Mind by Dua Lipa playing.

• That moment when other Narnians are trapped inside and Peter and Susan watch them... MY BABY PETER HAVE HAD ENOUGH PLEASE LET HIM REST. And Edmund seeing the dead bodies...

• That agressive “HEY!” from Caspian and the way Peter and him just scream at each other, idk what to say but it is sort of funny.

• When mama centaur cries, you know I'm dead on the floor.

• King Miraz getting on his throne... Sassy and majestic af. He is a psycho but you know he has taste.

• “What do you want? Congratulations?” Okay Caspian put that sarcasm down babe.

• When my mom watched the scene where The White Witch sort of comes back for the first time, she was like “Not that bitch witch again.”

• The way Peter pushes Caspian is skcjskfsj MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY

• And Edmund killing the wolfish thing is so cool, he is a very talented warrior. Also him stabbing Jadis, he gives like zero fucks.

• And when the ice is broken, they see Aslan on the wall and it is such a strong scene!!

• Can someone please explain me why Miraz and his men wear those freaking helmets?

• “And she won't be alone.” WE. LOVE. ONE. SUPPORTIVE. AND PROTECTIVE. SISTER.

• No, Caspian you may not, no matter how hot you say Miraz.

• Edmund in Miraz's place... Just perfect. That sass, that confidence, that intelligence. THAT look on his face.

• “Your brother's sword is sharper than his pen.” It is an adage in Turkish btw: “A pen is sharper than a sword.”

• “Or hooves.” Lucy, was that joke really necessary honey?

• THE LOVE OF MY LOVE AND MY ONE TRUE LOVE PETER SAYING “WELL, FEEL FREE.” AND “JUST. ONE.” WITH A BRAVE LOOK ON HIS FACE IS THE CAUSE OF MY DEATH.

• Queen Susan standing on her own, holding her bow to hunt men... YES. QUEEN.

• Proud brother™ Edmund.

• The way Peter snarls at Miraz. I mean I WOULD SURRENDER TO HIM.

• AND MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION FOR PRAISING WILLIAM'S ACTING? He fights amazing and his expressions are both beautiful and real. He makes you feel what Peter feels. I just love the way he portrays Peter.

• “Keep smiling.” King Edmund just knows things.

• And the way he just doesn't listen Peter and fixes his arm... 10/10

• When he hits Miraz's wound. He is a smart fighter, and I'll not even bring up how he stabs Miraz.

• “It's not mine to take.” Me inside: *MINE IS YOURS TO TAKE.*

• Caspian just stop screaming and kill this bitch for Aslan's sake.

• “Not one like you.” WITH TEARS ON HIS BEAUTIFUL BLACK EYES. I HATE HIM SOMETIMES.

• Although I hate that they have to fight again, what the Lord did was really smart, I have to admit.

• Have I told you that I hate that ball-throwing-machines?

• Queen Susan telling archers to get ready and Prince Caspian telling “Narnians, attack!” while riding his horse. ALSO WHAT THEY DID WAS SO CLEVER. PETER COUNTING WITH THAT BRAVE FACE.

• My baby Peter fighting again. And Caspian coming out of the underground. *CHEFS KISSES*

• KING EDMUND RIDING A HORSE AND ARROWING PEOPLE?? MORE CHEFS KISSES.

• Reepicheep's tiny armour OMG

• I HATE THAT BALL-THROWING-MACHINES.

• When they all run again (Not to mention Peter has to attack and fight like for like the hundredth time) THEY LOOK FREAKING GOOD AND MAJESTIC AND KING EDMUND CUTTING MEN IS PER.FECT.

• I AM IN STRONG NEED OF HUGHING AN ASLAN.

• THE TREES ARE COMING BACK HELL FREAKING YESSS!!!

• Queen Susan killing with this bows and arrow is just perfect. I love her. Like so much.

• Ooh there is shield wall? Don't worry Narnians will jump on it.

• Peter proudly saying “Lucy,” and looking at Caspian like “Hehe did you expect that?”

• And my baby yells “For Aslan!” and goes to fight. AGAIN.

• Lucy and her dagger? FREAKING DANGEROUS. RUN AWAY.

• Welcome water grandpa, you are very cute!!!

• Aslan is like hehe this is my friend. He is very proud of his friend.

• The guilt on their faces when they see Aslan is so cute.

• “All of you.” SHUT UP YOU MADE ME CRY AGAIN.

• OH AND REEPICHEEP. PLEASE I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH. HE'S HAD ENOUGH.

• Aslan calling him “Small one.” awWWW

• “Do you see him now?” QUEEN LUCY NEVER STUTTERS.

• Okay but the way they all look perfect during the parade. Caspian's crown and Susan's dress are my favs.

• AND THAT LOOK ON SUSAN'S FACE. IT KILLS ME.

• What the hell is Caspian wearing when Telmars go back?

• There is a talking lion in front of them and Telmarines still are amazed by a turning tree.

• Peter looks so good in blue and him giving his sword to Caspian is awwww again.

• Peter and Susan are the ones who'll not come back again and they both wear blue while Lucy and Ed wears green.

• Peter shaking hands with the centaur is an another awwww.

• The kiss makes me feel weird but I'm alright with that.

• “I'm 1300 years older than you.” is CUTE TO ME.

• Peter's proud brother smile. 10/10

• The way Lucy looks back at Aslan breaks my heart.

• THE ENDING KILLS ME. DESTROYS ME. VANISHES MY EXISTENCE. THAT LION ROAR. THAT SONG. OH HOW I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND NARNIA MOVIES... I AM CRYING AGAIN.

oooh okay, thank you for sharing this emotional roller-coaster with me. i hope you enjoy it.

love, andrea.♡

Positive things about Wizards!!

So now that I’ve addressed the elephant in the room, let’s talk about the things I liked in Wizards!! Or at least, the ones I remember--there’s probably more but hot dang that was a lot to take in. This will definitely not be in chronological order cuz like I said wow that was a LOT of stuff to process I can’t organize it rn

-Yo Deya was heckin’ awesome, loved her. The MOMENT Callista was like “yeah this is just the name the humans gave me I don’t remember my troll name” I was like um YUP if she ain’t Deya I’ll eat my socks lol

-Speaking of which, I adored Jim’s pep talk to Callista and their friendship. The first Trollhunter and...well, I guess the last. Also OOF the “fear is but the precursor to valor” speech (or at least parts of it) was originally DEYA’S HOLY FLIP

-Like, the way Callista initially rejects the amulet but Jim helps her through it because he’s been there? FANTASTIC -chefs kiss-

-All the Jlaire was ON POINT -chefs kiss again- BEAUTIFUL and not even a hint of love triangle, excellent

-Like seriously, that date scene? PRECIOUS. I WANNA WATCH IT ON LOOP AKJDBFHSKJ

-AND WHEN BEAST!JIM PROTECTED CLAIRE? MY HEART

-Speaking of beast!Jim. Holy heckin heckadoodle my jaw DROPPED. I did NOT see that coming good golly gracious I was SHOOK

-Honestly I’m STILL shook

-His beast design is pretty dope. Not as cute as his half-troll form which is still my fav by far and always will be...but still pretty dope. (also, I’m sure some people will call it a full-troll version, which was my first thought too but...I don’t think that’s quite it? obviously it’s much more trollish than before but he still doesn’t have a real troll nose for instance. hm. oh well)

-A small note--despite being very disappointed that he turned human again at the end (which I will not dwell on too much here since I already made a more detailed post), I was not at all surprised that his soul in the shadow realm still appeared human. Cuz I mean. Like I’ve been saying for months, he’s always retained his human heart. It was only his body the potion changed. Just sayin’ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  

-Oh and one more small note. Corrupted!Jim/beast!Jim is MUCH more similar to deep!Jim than halftroll!Jim is. Yes the design is different, but the demeanor? MUCH closer. I’mma go ahead and go out on a limb and say THIS is what deep!Jim foreshadowed. 

-I LOVE CHARLEMAGNE THE DRAGON 12/10

-AND HE’S ARCHIE’S DAD?? oh my gosh lollllll

-I LITERALLY SQUEALED OUT LOUD AT ARCHIE’S BABY PICTURE AHEGFJ

-Hey hey HEY the Merlin hate train best be comin’ to a full stop sometime soon, because when he called Douxie “son”?? My heart SHATTERED INTO PEICES let me tell you WHAT

-I liked how they handled Morgana as well, very cool very cool

-The start of Blinky and Arrrggh’s friendship was very wholesome

Like I said there’s probably more stuff that’s just getting lost in the jumble at the moment...but yeah here’s some thoughts!

still headcanoning that Jim chooses to go back to being halftroll later and you can’t change my mind or stop me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  

[letsperaltiago]

ok time to break my silence caused by the fact that i spent all day making this lol too many feels 

so.. palm springs thoughts !! and there are manyyyy so buckle up and feeel free to hit me up with either matching or contradicting thoughts or whateveer!! i would LOVE to nerd out about this movie with someone:’)

here comes thoughts and pictures!! 

we basically start off with a mr. samberg sex-scene okAYYYYY the mood is set. we love the view

nyles aka. mr. samberg is the most gorgeous man alive and it was a true pleasure to admire him for 90 minutes straight 

CURLS!!????! THEY ARE UNREAL. i shall dedicate an entire post to them

Cristin Milioti is perfect for her role. her acting? *chef’s kiss* I love that she’s not the stereotypical female rom-com lead.

Her chemistry with Andy? Gosh.. Can’t believe Nyles x Sarah is my new main movie-ship!! They play off of each other SO. WELL. Their characters are equally stone cold and bitter, but then again not really, and they both portray it so well!!

“You don’t ned a leg up.” *moans* “Hold my leg up!” i SCREAMED

“Don’t you kiss me.” “Don’t you tell me what to do.” hoW DARE THEY!

Ok ur basically on love already stop it

The fact that they were just gonna fuck on a blanket on top OF ROCKS?!

but then again in this movie’s already insane universe it’s prob pretty normal:)

The overall dark, existential humor?? This is what I live and breathe for on a daily basis. Basiaclly both main characters are a BIG MOOD

Nyles not giving a shit vs. Sarah severely freaking out in the beginning is an iconic dynamic

“I am the antichrist” and then the rock falling? For a hot sec I literally thought the movie was gonna take a turn with Nyles being some magical/scientific creature that’d created the timeloop or something idkkk ahhha

Nyles in the suit... ridiculous(ly hot)

The torture methods Roy uses on Nyles and the fact that he’s not mentally scarred?? How?? 

On that note I love that Nyles and Sarah keep their memories even if the day starts over. Would’ve been a completely different concept if they had to “meet each other for the first time” every day and it wouldn’t’ve allowed their relationship arc to evolve as it did 

Darla is the fucking shit 

Nyles in the baseball cap, amirite?

THE BARTENDER TALKING ABOUT HITTING A GUY WITH THE CAR SHE’S CURRENTLY GIVING NYLES A HANDJOB IN IS COMEDIC GOLD 

“You fucked Jerry Schlieffen?” “Well he fucked me.” Yes SIR. Andy Samberg’s characters are all bottoms and we’re here for it

Sarah’s tongue click and “nice try” when Nyles asks her about her sex life?? 

IDK WHY BUT SO GOD

Randy is hella annoying. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

THIS ENTIRE SCENE:

the fact that they both start waking up smiling because now at least they have each other 🥺😭🤯

uhm i love a good ship that’s like... best friends to lovers and the montage of them basically becoming besties killed me 

this outfit Y E S: 

sarah falling off the car and nyles laughing it off is relationship goals

the crashing plane I LOL’ED

okay so... big moment... the DANCING AND MATCHING OUTFITS? THEY ARE MY DREAM TEAM. Also how excited they are running away from the bar 🥺

IM POSITIVE THIS IS THE MOMENT NYLES KNOWS! LIKE HE DOESN’T ADMIT IT TO HIMSELF COMPLETELY BUT HE KNOWS 

the bomb in the cake and french pirate-skit? so fucking random but i lovee it because it’s so them

*DRUM ROLL* PERHAPS MY FAVORITE MOMENT IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE: 

STORYLINE WISE AND VISUALLY A++++

the deep talks by the fire were SO well written. they were actually deep and genuine, allowing the characters to grow and opening up to us as viewers but also remained fun and witty

sarah trying to get nyles to admit he cares for her and him joking it off??? the flirtinggg

really wish we’d gotten to know more about what nyles meant with “it drifts away: just like they all do.” because it really seemed to trigger something within him. Like WHO “They”???

the dinosaurs lmao no comment but at least they got a cute cuddly moment

from the very first millisecond inside the tent you can CLEARLY tell Sarah is just dying to do something about them!!!

 the disbelief on nyles’ face when sarah says “lets just get it over with” because she’d clearly stated he didn’t want to and even though he obviously did he’s respected it and not done anything further about it oh babey

we love some good making out:’))) 

NYLES HALTING TO TAKE IN THE MOMENT EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO SCREAM INTO THE VOID 

i will die for a post-sexy timez cuddle and how sarah is trying to staying awake to be besides him is just *explosion* 

this has to be *the moment* she realises 

and they’re both sooooo fucking happy when they wake up after damn love me like that pls

THE GROOM BOOO FUCK OFF CAN’T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO REMEMBER HIS NAME CHEATING SCUM 

THIS FACE:

Baby is trying so hard and is so cute and nervous about it. SARAH LISTEN TO HIM HE LOVES YOU.

HE FELT GOOD WAKING UP BECAUSE OF YOUUUU, GIRL. DO NOT CALL IT “FUN”, SARAH 

“Going to bed maybe just got a little better” 😭😭😭😭

The entire cop scene is just pure insanity, very Lonely Island and I’m here for it even though I just want Sarah to rEALLY LISTEN TO WHAT NYLES IS TRYING TO SAY 

“Pain is real” oh babey that means SO MANY THINGS 🥺💔

“I followed you into that cave because I liked you!” like jake would say: don’t love how we got here but we’re going where i want

“pretentious sad boy” me

not shocked that they’ve hooked up before because c h e m i s t r y but don’t like how it got out :)))

why is nyles’ one sleeve shirt rolled up? im triggered

drinking pure vodka? oh babey its gonna be okay 

WE LOVE A SMART BOI WHO RECOGNIZES HIS GIRL’S PERFUME 

Sarah’s parents singing:)) i would cry too, nyles

"I love her.” “I see... That’s interesting” lmao savage

I actually really love Roy’s character. It turns out to be very humble actually and he has some insightful and lowkey poetic that lines i love. Besides that he’s hilarious. 

SO the whole time i was wondering how they’d get out of the whole “same day forever”-thing, if they were to. and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they had such a logical way out of it: science. Not anything cheesy like “a true love’s kiss” or “you learned your lesson”. Pure logic and Sarah’s hard work to get there. Huge fan of this. 

I will never get over how good Nyles looks waking up and Sarah is xtra pretty in that scene:’) 

Nyles just wants to stay in a loop forever because it means for sure that he gets to stay with Sarah forever and I’m lowkey into it but also like lowkey LISTEN TO HER AND GO WITH HER PLAN, NYLES

“I wanna stay with you” *sniffles*

“I love you. How about that?” PRETTY FUCKING GOOD 

I love Nyles’ character development. He started off so nonchalant and cold, closed off and by this point he’s the softest, smiliest in love fool I’ve ever seen and Andy does it so good. SAMBERG HEART EYES!!

“Nothing is real in here” YES SARAH UR LOVE IS

I’m taking Sarah’s asking Nyles to believe in her and leave with her as her first “I love you” because it’s very clear that she wants to leave with him rather than without. 

just- this entire scene i ugh <3 <3 <3 <3

BREAKING. UP. WITH. MISTY ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

glass of wine filled to the brim? sarah’s my type of gal

the speech was really beautiful and sweet without being too cheesy and kudos to cristin for really delivering it like a pro! especially her “abe, don’t fuck this up” like yes girl kill him, chop him to pieces with your eyes!!! also camila is such really pretty bride

nyles looks like a cockatoo here :

nyles taking the shot and smashing the glass into the ground got me 🤭😵😏🥵

“I’m your son” I SCREAM

GIVE THE MAN A WHITE HORSE DAMNIT

Gotta admit Sarah looks like a bomb (lol nu pun intended) ass super hero in her bridesmaid dress and C4-gettup 

The sentence ending up being total grammatical gibberish but Nyles trying so. damn. hard is the sweetest thing ever and should and will go down in rom-com history. It’s super romantic but also well-balanced by humor and I just.. so good. This is the kind of characters and relationships I love and wanna write myself 

“you’re my favorite person that i’ve ever met” 🥺🥺🥺

“i’d rather die with you than live in this world without you” WHY AM I SO SINGLE SOMEONE LOVEE ME LIKE THIS 

okay so idk but “what if we get sick of each other?” “we’re already sick of each other. it’s the best.” is so so so soft, the way nyles says it like it doesn’t matter and is honestly another key moment for me: they’ve experienced basically everything imaginable during their time in the box/loop. they’ve liked, disliked, loved, hated each other and still: he loves her. the fact that nyles knows no matter what happens it won’t stop that because it’s them?? ouch my heart.

TFATWS episode 2 rewatch commentary

We should've guessed John Walker was going to be an asshole the moment it was revealed he played football in high school

That remix of star spangled man is my villain origin story JEEEEEEESUS i want to punch something

They literally mass produced a Walker action figure in two weeks what the fuck

"Your new Captain America" GAAAAAAAAAAh * angry noises *

"For those who aren't familiar with John's resume" thank you GMA lady

My face during that whole speech: wtf and indignation intensify

Bucky's face: yep same.

Imagine being Sam and everywhere you go you're seeing your one (1) mistake spit in your face overandoverandover again that's g r e a t

Tbh that sambucky reunion was anticlimatic as fuck but i actually liked that, it was like WELL HERE WE GO AGAIN they can’t look at each other for 5 seconds before they need to start bickering

"You think it didn't break my heart" SAM SWEETIE

YeAH TELL HIM SAM

The way I know this clip by heart help me. It's still hilarious but it's even better now that I know that they literally just met and they're already bickering can you PLEASE stop you children

T H E  B I G  T H R E E

Spoiler it was a thing

Love how nonchalant Joaquín is about this entire situation lmao

"You sure about that"

*whispers* t h e e arm thing

*Stares at the wall* I CAN'T WITH THAT SEQUENCE WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO MEJSFHJASFAH PLEASE they didn't have to go that far with the grunting noises PLEASE

John Walker getting his ass served is something that can be so personal<3

Also, I like that they've now established that he CAN lose a fight, which makes me wonder if he's also going to use his political influence as leverage against sam and bucky once he goes berserk

"It's one of the big three" "Aliens, androids or wizards" "pretty sure" lmao yeah I don't think that's the vindication Sam was looking for

"Look, I've done the work, okay" SHUT THE FUUUUUUCK UP

"You ever jump on top of a grenade" bucky finding out about it in the middle of a briefing during the war fic trope intensifies

"It's a reinforced helmet" well you're fucking losing the point there then you naive clown

Captain "Kind of the government" America??? NOPE NOPE GOODBYE N O P E NOOOOOOOOOOOPE

"Usually said by the people with the resources" daaamn

“I'm Battlestar. John's partner" A clown that’s what you are

Bucky: YES I'VE REACHED MY LIMIT STOP THE FUCKING CAR

"It'd be a whole lot easier if I had Cap's wingmen on my side" FUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUU

"It's always that last line" yeP

Erin Kellyman is??? So pretty???

"The GRC care more about the people who came back than the ones who never left" love how they keep putting those random bits since otherwise their position sounds??? Extremely reasonable?? BUT THEY ARE V I O L E N T  R E V O L U T I O N E R S fuck off

"Let's take the shield, Sam" oh you BET he's been spiraling thinking about 3224 strategies on how to steal the shield during that flight

Sharon name drop:)

YES I KNOW YOU WERE ON THE RUN FOR TWO YEARS I'D REALLY HAVE WANTED TO SEE MORE OF IT JFC @marvel i hate you so much

The whole Baltimore sequence * chef's kiss *

ELI SWEETIE

Friendly reminder that Isaiah Bradley won a fight against the Winter Soldier. Proceed.

"I'm not a killer anymore" bucky sweetie

"You think you can wake up one day and decide who you wanna be" OOOOF

Carl Lumbly's acting f u c k

"How could nobody bring him up" SAM SWEETIE

I'm going to go ballistic now excuse me:))

This whole scene is so well written jesus fucking christ

Have you praised Anthony Mackie's performance today?

Twitter is this clear enough for you?????

Tbh i'm actually surprised marvel allow them to go there even if the situation didn't escalate.

They put the tiiiiniest handcuffs on bucky lmfao

How many more "bucky"s from Walker's mouth until someone punches him?

"He's too valuable of an asset to have tied up" YEAH BEEP BEEP ALARMS GOING OFF RIGHT THE FUCK NOW UHM THOSE WERE SOME… WORD CHOICES… THAT WERE USED… fuck you Walker

"It's something I use with couples" oh coME ON

SFHAJSDFH this is ridiculous i love it

Malcolm Spellman: * agressively takes notes on Stackie's interviews *

SOUL-GAZING EXERCISE LMFAO

THEY'RE SO STUPID I HATE THEM

Sambucky: *chaotic leg positioning*

Dr Raynor: WOW ALL RIGHT

I love that the staring contest thing is the conclusion of the bucky staring joke lmao

AND DON'T SAY SOMETHING CHILDISH

this is literally not about you bucky

"Maybe this is something you or Steve will never understand. But can you accept that I did what I thought was right?" YEAH!!!! 

Why is everyone, on the show and outside of it too, acting as if Sam made that decision of out the blue and didn't think about it for six months straight, and look what happened! He got fucking played! He's feeling enough remorse as it is jfc

"Thanks Doc for making it weird I feel much better" LMFAO

Oh you KNOW that the shoulder clap is going to come back unironically and it's going to be soft as fuck

"I feel better" "I feel awful" props for the honesty boys!

"It wouldn't make sense to work with you" more like you're the fucking government's lap dog and we wouldn't touch that with a twelve feet long pole. Let's fucking go Sam let's fucking go

10/10 building of Walker actually being a fucking asSHOLE

The Power Broker name drop!

Yes Bucky SHOULD beat the SHIT out of Zemo. As a treat.

"We're going to go see Zemo" *CLASSICAL MUSIC STARTS BLASTING IN THE BACKGROUND*

Oh I love that last bird eye's shot at the end of the scene

Overall thoughts: This episode was MUCH MUCH better on second viewing. I do think it’s a little bit too fast paced so a lot of things keep happening and there’s not enough time to process them in between?? Again the best moments are the quiet ones like the flight back and the Baltimore scene, but mad props to everyone from jumping between comedy and drama so fucking well. Even though there are, in tone, some very opposite atmospheres in the episode it never feels chaotic, and the situations that happen are very well connected and don’t feel disjointed at all.

The highlight of the episode was definitely the two different ways Sam and Bucky are (avoiding) grieving over Steve, and how his legacy hangs between them at all times. It makes so much sense for Bucky to take the entire situation so personally because Steve was the One thing he knew he could trust, while Sam is trying to see the bigger picture and not just what Steve demanded of him.

Hope that makes sense!

Elite S3 reactions (Episode by episode/overall thoughts +SPOILERSSSS)

So I know I post writing stuff but I have *EMOTIONS* about this show and no one to share them with so please ignore this post, if you don’t watch the show/don’t care. Includes spoilers so you’ve been warned.

Ok, I’m going to go episode by episode then do my overall feelings. I’d love to know anyone’s thoughts about the show so feel free to reblog! I just watched the show in 10 hours straight but alot goes on so I might not be able to remember every single conversation in a episode. Multiple characters have a lot going on at once. For reference, I don’t speak Spanish-I watch the show with English subtitles. 

-3x1: Carla

-Pretty solid start, we pick up a couple weeks after we left off. I felt so DUCKING bad for Carla the entire season and I understood why she lied in court about accusing Polo. Malick is introduced-am I the only who doesn’t like people who are persistent in asking other people out? Like my no is a no. Don’t annoy me, this is the kind shit people pull and pressure others into a relationship. It’s not endearing to me. So I automatically didn’t like him. 

-Lu gets kicked out but can someone tell me where she lives throughout the season? I figured she lived with her mom after her dad kicked her out but at the last episode, in the airport, she says both her parents have disowned her? Where has been living? Maybe she saved up money unlike Valerio idk. 

-3x2: Samuel and Guzman

-Samu is trying to get Carla back. I didn’t dislike them as a couple last season but I knew they were using each other, so I didn’t allow myself to get too close to them. But now I ship them. I wanted them together this season. Yeray is introduced-um, I still think he’s irrelevant. I did think for a moment that he was going to hold his money over Carla’s head so she’d stay with him but he didn’t even think for one second that was why Carla was trying to get with him (because her asshole dad pimped her out ugh) . He was only helpful when it came to the contract at the end.

-Deadass, I was going to exit out if Valerio had slept with Rebe’s mom. I thought that entire scene was pretty much sexual assault and it was creepy. He needs to go to rehab lmao.

-Polo trusting Guzman again was a dumb bitch move. So here’s how I feel about Polo. V unfortunately, I love him. He’s one of my fav characters. I know he’s a killer but Idk I think it’s the actor or something because he’s so pretty (the entire cast is beautiful) that I forgive everything he does?? Also I hated Marina by the end of S1 so he did me a favor. What I wanted from Polo was to embrace the fact that he was the villain. Like the times he threatened Lu by taking away the scholarship or (tried) to threaten Samu. Those scenes I was like hell fucking yes, no more wallowing. But noo this boy wanted forgiveness. Dude. You’re cute but you still killed someone, jesus. I would be so ashamed/guilty to be hanging out with the brother of the person I killed. He played himself there big time. The tweets were interesting way of revenge and ofc Caye used that to her advantage. She’s a leech but I thought she used the fact that she had the murder weapon (as leverage for Polo to stay with her) waaay more. 

3x3: Cayetana and Valerio

-Strange couple but eh, better than incest. So in this episode, Samu makes a deal with the worst detective ever (every season, she fails to solve a case lmao) and I don’t blame him. He’d do anything to get Nano back, it’s why he tried to get Polo arrested for an entire season. It’s shitty that he did that to Rebe but I understand why. Before this season, I thought Rebe was irrelevant because she wasn’t really fleshed out but after this season, I grew to like her a lot. It hurt watching her and Samu get close because everytime she said something like ‘you’re the only good thing in my life’ I was like girl, he’s the reason why you’ve lost everything ugh. It was uncomfy and sad to watch. 

-Ander and Omar. I liked them-didn’t like what Ander did last season but he did confess and was forgiven. So Omar’s whole cheating thing came out of left field and it wasn’t! Even! Properly! Confessed! to! Ander!!!! Oof. Ander SUFFERED this season. But I’m glad the writers chose cancer over HIV because there’s so much stigma attached to that disease and the LGBT community and I’m tired of that narrative. 

3x4: Lu

-I’ve always respected the hell out of Lu. Yes, she’s been a bitch for the past 2 seasons but she was always upfront about her actions. She didn’t like you, she let you know. This was her shining season and I loved her Valentine reversal. She looked hot, she really looked out for Nadia/Ander this episode (and the entire season). She could’ve revealed the cheating but she didn’t. I feel like S1 Lu would’ve so she’s come full circle. She said NO to Guzman which was everything. Oh speaking of which, I actually like Guzman. He’s really developed as a character in terms of temper. I like that he wanted to move on from hating Polo. But when he’s with Nadia, he irritates me. 

-I don’t have Muslim parents but I have Muslim cousins. My parents are immigrants. They’re not extreme like Nadia’s but like I feel Guzman goes out of his way to make Nadia’s home life worse. He’s knows her parents are conservative but he’s strides in the store and tells them about how their daughter can’t study. Should Nadia had said something? Yes but how could she? She has responsibilities to her parents. Her 2 other siblings have been kicked out. Nadia claims that her religion is important to her but Guzman repeatedly disrespects it. I couldn’t be with someone like that. It wasn’t cute that he offered to work so Nadia could study-which we saw him do ONCE. It’s overbearing. Also Nadia just forgives him so easily, it’s like dude, do you not care? So I like Guzman-he’s actually a good friend to Ander and formerly, Polo but my god, he’s so disrespectful when it comes to Nadia.

-Also I liked the threesome, not as good as Christian/Polo/Carla but not bad.

3x5: Ander

-Best episode this season, hands down. I loved the opening song and sequence. The scene where Polo’s parents catch him with Valerio and Caye really got my gears thinking-I was like if I were a parent (don’t want kids but ya know, if I did), how would I react to that? I’d like to think that I’d be very accepting of my kid (given they’re not hurting themselves or others) in terms of sexuality, religion, etc. But I was like hmmm, being polyamorous?? Not one I would be prepared for. But if the kid is happy, I guess. That was random but those were my thoughts. 

-Rebe finding out it was Samu who sold them out hurt like a bitch. BUT MY GOD THE BLACKLIGHT REVEAL!! Ugh the best. I had to pause, I was so shook. And Malick and Omar reveal to Nadia. Jesus. I loved her reaction but it was immediately undermined by the next episode when she forgives her brother. Like I get it, they’re siblings. But she should’ve held it against him longer. Omar got 0 consequences for cheating this season-not from Ander or Nadia. Tf.

3x6: Rebeca

-Carla is on drugs. Yikes. Again, her dad was pimping her all season so I get it girl. Also anyone else think the adults are stupid in the show?? All of their parents are business people but one bad financial move, they’re on their asses and almost bankrupt? Happened with Guzman’s dad and now Carla’s. Do they not invest in other things? Idk have a savings account?

-Also Samu and Guzman being friends. Top tier content. Chef’s kiss. Full circle and character development to the max. Ngl I felt a little bit of homoerotic tones there?? Just me?? I would ship them over any other couple if they got to together for just one night. 

-Nadia sharing the scholarship with Lu. Ugh. Everything. Loved that.

-Ander lying to Omar about having an affair. Ew. I know he was trying to push Omar away but like he was the one cheating? So either call him out on that or just break up with no reason. Don’t make yourself look bad dude. Ugh but the both of them sobbing at the end of their breakup...my heart shattered. That was GREAT acting. 

-Polo saving Carla. We all liked that. 

3x7: Nadia and Omar

-FUCK Ander’s mom for expelling them. I went to private school-there’s rules in place for parents who have money so they don’t manipulate the administration. Polo’s moms needed to let their son fight his own battles. Also Ander’s mom calling Guzman to come over to talk to Ander was really strange. She just expelled him. I know he’s Ander’s best friend but idk, she just expelled him. And they don’t even talk about it at Ander’s house. Again, this is the Guzman I like-the loyal/good friend. Loved the convo between him and Ander. 

-I liked Carla’s honesty to Yeryay and that they could possibly be friends. I always knew he idealized her for standing up for him on social media so I’m glad they acknowledged that. 

-Also Lu’s comment to Nadia that she looks like a pistachio was everything. And her ‘People are watching’ line in the previous episode is great too. 

-KEVIN FUCKING MCHALE made a cameo. Hell yes. And ofc, great speech by Nadia and Lu. Polito’s last conversations really did a lot for me to symphatize with his character (He didn’t have to do much because I still liked him despite his murdering). He got his moms to face the fact that they can’t throw money at every problem and that he is a killer. This scene and the beginning scenes of the next episode is what made me at peace with his character. I knew he was going to die but like this is what he needed for some sort of redemption. 

3x8: Polo

-Not the best ending for such a good season. But the first 15 minutes which are the convos and events that led up to Polo’s death was good. I never suspected Lu for a second, I really thought Valerio (Had some decent motive-more than Nadia, less obvious people like Samu and Guzman) had done it. But when I rewatched the trailer, you see that the writers told us it was her all along. Her line about the ELITE gang being family and that she’d protect them was a clue. She had the least interaction with Polo himself throughout the season so I never had time to even suspect her. Really brilliant. 

-Them touching the murder weapon is powerful. This was the only way to end things. I figured by episode 6ish that everyone was working together based on their answers in the flashforwards. And I half laughed because no sane police force would allow the witness/potential suspects to hang out together before interrogation. At least not without police watching them. 

-I do think it’s odd that Samu asked Rebe to ask her mom to get rid of Polo because he literally betrayed her and she talks to him (although mad) despite that. OKayyy. I really thought we were going to get the Samu and Carla get-together but guess not. I feel cheated by that because they clearly wanted each other all along. 

-The endings weren’t the best. I do appreciate that Omar made the right call in the end and I’m glad Ander is in remission. Oof my gripe though was with Nadia and Omar’s parents. So Lu goes to the airport and admits hey my parents disowned me and they’re like of course, we’ll be your family. AND I WAS LIKE ‘WHAT ABOUT OMAR??’ Y’all were so willing to kick him out and they never really made amends. So like I get that Omar’s dad is trying by acknowledge that Ander is Omar’s boyfriend but I mean during Omar’s mom’s dinner, he had no right asking him about his studies. He didn’t move out. Y’all kicked him out. How do you think he’s doing, trying to find a place to sleep? Jesus. Also the mom isn’t all good. Again, if I were a mom, I don’t understand how I could live without knowing if my kid is okay since they’re not living with me. My mom is a single mom-I know there’s no man in the world, not my dad, no one that she would chose me over. If my husband kicked my kids out, no questions, the husband is going to the curb or I’m going with my kids. Idgaf. The mom should’ve stood up. It just made me so angry that they were like poor Lu, no family but they mistreated their own child. 

OKAY so overall thoughts...I thought this was a really good season. I’d say 1st was the best, then this one, and then second (Ngl I don’t remember the 2nd one too much okay). I liked that it was more angsty and more character focused then the whodunnit? part that we’re used to. The entire cast has such strong acting and I’m going to miss whoever isn’t returning for S4. I’m going to miss Polo as well goddamn. 

Best moments of the season: Lu saying/doing ANYTHING-I have feelings, bitch. Her friendship with Nadia and other characters. Carla standing up to her pimp dad. Ander being in remission (his acting was great too). All of episode 5. Kevin McHale cameo. 

Worst moments: Polo asking Guzman if he would ever be forgiven?? And I know he did end up forgiving him but like bro, just because I don’t want to harbor hate for the rest of my life, doesn’t mean I forgive you for killing my sister whatttt. Omar never confessing to Ander about the cheating. Like no consequences and his character was just demolished this season. Still don’t know where Lu lived this entire season lmao. Anything Ander’s mom did to the students ugh.

Overall, I liked this season. It felt more mature for a high school TV show. I’m not super invested into any particular ship so I don’t feel cheated like most people. It takes me a while to get into ships but once I do, I get really invested. The only ship I was really disappointed in not seeing was Carmuel because Carla went through alot this season and Samu clearly wanted to be with her. And that’s all I had to say lmao.

Thoughts on Thirteen Reasons Why Season 3

I just binged it all in one sitting and I have a lot of opinions on everything I just witnessed...

Let start off with:

THE GOOD:

- TYLER. Literally everything about Tyler. The transformation of this character was so amazing to watch. I cried like a little bitch when he told Clay the truth abd also when he has that photo gallery in Monet's. I love him. No one can say anything about him. I will fight you.

- Surprisingly...... CLAY. The past two seasons I had nothing but negative things to say about him. I absolutely HATED clay in season one and two. He was annoying, pretentious, controlling, obsessive, obnoxious...just overall terrible. BUT. This season he was refreshingly enjoyable to watch. Like I get he was going through some deep shit with Hannah but it was nice to see him a bit more free and happy this season. There were points where he reverted to that annoyingly stubborn clay from the past but for the most parts I really loved his scenes and wanted more of it. I'm actually shook.

- ANI. I'm literally shocked that there's so much hate for this character. I mean I get it. She's shitty and hypocritical..she slept with Bryce for fucks sake and tried to say that Jessica did. I get that. And it's terrible. But I enjoyed the new perspective she brought into the show. I thought she and Clay were really cute together (much cuter that he and Hannah imo) and overall she served her purpose. The writer's created this character to explore Bryce in a different way. Truly honestly Bryce can choke but it was interesting to watch. But ultimately I found ani cool funny spunky and overall an enjoyable addition to the show

- DEPUTY STANDALL IS THE GREATEST PARENT ON THE SHOW MR WALKER IS SHAKING.

THE MEH

- JUSTIN. I can objectively say that his scenes with Clay were really cute and I love their brotherhood but personally I was never a fan of Justin's character. Especially in season 2. I just hate the addiction storyline. It's never interesting and I hate that it followed over into season 3 and it was so choppy and inconsistent.

- JESSICA. I just felt like her story dragged for a while. She had one too many rousing speeches and it got tiring quick. I can appreciate her message but I felt like time could have been better spent than multiple scenes that are literally the same as the last. This is not to say I don't like her or anything. I know I'll probably get a lot of hate for saying this but also liking Ani but it's my opinion and if you don't agree that's cool.

THE BAD

- WHERE IS ZACH???? ZACH DEMPSEY IS THE GREATEST CHARACTER OF THIS SHOW AND HE DESERVED BETTER THAN A 10 MIJUTE TOTAL SCREENTIME. JUSTICE FOR ZACH.

- ALEX STANDALL WAS ROBBED OF AN ACTUAL FUCKING STORYLINE. If the writer's think making him the jilted lover was creative and original they need several seats. It was annoying just watching him only ever just yell at Jessica and getting angry. Like. Give me more Alex and his family. Give my Alex struggling to recover. He wanted a gun. Okay. For what? He was barely even screentime. Did he feel guilty for killing Bryce? Or did he feel guilty that Clay was taking the fall? Where was the angst with his character? I don't want any of this behind the scenes bullshit. Give him actually screentime!!

- ZALEX DESERVED BETTER AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

- This might seem random but I ABSOLUTELY HATED THE EDITING!! I hated the transitions of the colored past to the desaturated present. Like,, this is not How to Get Away With Murder. There were better and much more creative ways to indicated time jumps and this stupid color this actually annoyed me. It looked like a snapchat filter. I did not enjoy it. Also, this show seems like it's having an identity crisis. Why were there so many strange and different shots this season? I liked them but it seems so out of place considering they never done so in the previous seasons.

- That annoying ass chick from Jessica's club. Ughh

Overall, I really enjoyed this season even though I don't think it even knew what it was doing. I feel like there was many many storyline going on that everything just seemed muddled snd confusing for a while. Sometimes less is more and I'm 1000% certain that way more people would enjoy the show if it simply focused on the characters abd not a convoluted murder mystery that really wasn't important to anybody. I forgot to add this above but TONY PADILLA OWNS THIS ASS. I absolutely loved him and would die for him. He is just.....*chef's kiss*

[incomprehensiblelentils]

leverage, 11

oh I think I’m supposed to answer all the questions actually! and I’m doing a rewatch so it’s fresh in my mind :D

1. Favorite episode and why

Oh it’s hard to pick, but “The Van Gogh Job” is so beautifully done and really shows off everyone’s acting skills. I think it can be really hard for a show to pull off “these actors are playing different characters” for an episode but this is maybe the best example I’ve ever seen.

2. Funniest/crackiest/it’s-terrible-but-I-still-love-it episode/scene

“COR BLIMEY GUVNAH, THEM’S LOADED WITH SEA ROACHES!”

3. It’s-terrible-and-I-hate it episode/scene

There are...several more transphobic jokes in this show than I remember there being, and they are not great!

4. Best episode/scene for my favorite character

“The Long Way Down Job,” Parker’s speech about wanting to do the right thing. MY HEART.

5. Best episode/scene for my favorite ship

Every Parker/Hardison scene in “The Queen’s Gambit Job” is amazing, but especially the one where he’s humming while on the phone with her to help her “dance.”

6. Best episode/scene for a particular supporting character

I mean I don’t really “like” Sterling but “The Queen’s Gambit Job” is probably my favorite episode with him, just because it’s got such a great twist and watching him bounce off of Eliot is so fun

7. Best episode/scene for a character I don’t usually like

I find Nate.........wildly dull and have actually nodded off during Nate-centric episodes during this rewatch a few times. SORRY!!! but his speech at the end of “The Cross My Heart Job” is really good.

8. Most visually beautiful or interesting episode/scene

I mean “interesting” is maybe not the best descriptor but the camera work in “The Office Job” is just... *chef’s kiss*

9. Most emotionally affecting episode/scene

This is a weird answer but I completely forgot about the scene in “The Future Job” where Parker gets cold-read by the psychic and she’s like “LET’S KILL HIM” and Eliot is like “...I mean, I could do that, do you want me to do that?” I just think that’s a really sweet moment since they’re not that close at that point.

10. Most powerful use of music in an episode/scene

Mmm, I don’t pay a ton of attention to the music in this show tbh, but like, obviously there’s Hardison playing the solo in “The Scheherazade Job.”

11. Episode/scene that changed my perspective on the show

I fell in love with this show basically from the first episode on, but I remember the first episode I really connected with was “The Stork Job,” because Parker is my favorite and we get some great Parker backstory and character work in that episode.

12. Episode/scene where the acting stands out

I mean I already said “The Van Gogh Job,” but y’know, that.

13. Overall best-written episode

“The Rashomon Job” is just the best...it’s just the best.

[khaleesiofalicante]

I’m going to be honest. I was planning on reading this yesterday but I knew that if I started I would stay up until 3 a.m and I had school tomorrow 😂, but here I am:

“Rafael had all but screamed when Bapak had surprised him with the motorbike on his birthday '' It has only begun and I’m screaming!!!

“But Rafael had dressed up. He had even let Max paint his nails black.” I love Max and Rafael with my entire soul

“Max had a habit of ‘borrowing’ things and selling them on eBay.” I love that little shit and his mischievous 💙💙

Octavian was one of his closest friends. Okey but that friendship??? Love it

“Dude, college kids don’t give a shit,” Tavvy laughed. “You could walk into a lecture covered in runes, holding a seraph blade and they wouldn’t give you a second look.” “Cause they are chill?” “Yes. But mostly cause they are dead inside,” Tavvy chuckled. SJHDUEHISAM WHY IS THIS SO TRUE??

You should follow me on Instagram. My handle is simp_for_carstairs.” I’M LAUGHING SO FUCKING HARD 😂 😂 😂 “She is not wrong,” Lily nodded seriously. “I’m a Jem Carstairs fan first and a vampire second.” Me too bro

“I heard there is a dalliance between a shadowhunter and a warlock,” Lily went on anyway. WHAT THE FUCK??? I LITERALLY SCREAMED. AND I’M IN CLASS

“But people bothered anyway. People liked to bother about things that did not concern them.” I know this is of shadowhunters, but it really speaks of everyone

“Rafael was sure there was something more than friendship between them. But David was polite to a fault and Max was an oblivious little shit. So, obviously nothing had happened yet. Sometimes Rafe wanted to knock their heads together and ask them to just talk it out. But no, it wasn’t his place.” JSSUHDEWIMS. OK. if i continue to quote everything i won’t finish. Let's move forward

Me when i found who started the rumor: 🙃🔪 🔪

“What the hell? Come on, Rafael! Bros before…uh, girls.” I SHOULDN’T BE LAUGHING THIS HARD. MY DOG IS GIVING ME WEIRD LOOKS. A DOG!! Like...He makes fun of Max but he is also an oblivious little shit

“David and I added rosemary to this one,” Uncle Jace wiped his hands on his apron. “It has definitely improved the taste, hasn’t it?” I- I don’t know if this was on purpose but- I- Wow

“I am this close to kidnapping the twins from the academy and bringing them back home. I love Mr. Herondale to death but this is getting out of hand.” How can a line be so funny and beautiful at the same time?? 💙💙

“Empty nest syndrome,” Rafael chuckled. “I’m glad neither Max nor I had to leave home. My fathers are much worse.” He remembered his first sleepover at the institute. His parents had waited for “an excruciating hour” before crashing the institute and joining the sleepover themselves. HOLY SHIT THIS IS GIVING ME SO MUCH SEROTONIN THAT I’M ALREADY AFRAID OF THE ANGST

“David,” Rafael grinned. “Are you afraid of my father?” “What? No! He is just a regular person…who can throw me in the silent city any time he wants,” David rambled and then shook his head. “Where is Max?” He tried to sound nonchalant. But Rafael noted the way the other boy’s eyes fluttered every time he said Max’s name. Just the way a crooked smile appeared on his brother’s lips every time someone said David’s name. Idiots. YES THEY ARE😂😂

Ahhh yess. The angst is starting and it will break my soul. Guess I’ll keep reading.

WHAT. THE. FUCK??? HOLLY SHIT!!! I WAS EXPECTING ANGST BUT THIS??? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?? I LITERALLY STARED AT THE SCREEN CAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN IT WRONG!!! THE FUCK??? I JUST CAN'T PROCESS THIS.

“Do you people know Magnus could have destroyed the clave decades ago if he wanted to do that? EXACTLY. HE WOULD HAVE LET YOU DIE IF HE WANTED TO!!! I CAN’T.

“Of course you don’t see anything wrong with this,” Paige sneered. “It’s not like you have a problem with incest. SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL FIND A WAY TO GO THERE AND BREAK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR BONES!

You talk about warlock corruption but where all of you when Valentine exploited Jace and Clary? Where was this moral obligation when Valentine lied to his children and played with their feelings as if they were nothing but toys to be controlled and manipulated? I’m sick of shadowhunters victim blaming children instead of holding people like Valentine accountable.” EXACTLY. WHERE WERE THEY?

Ok, ok, I’m not ok but I'll just keep reading. I’m slightly traumatized but ok.

For the next thirty minutes, Max paced around the room, threatening to portal all the shadowhunters to hell. Then he went on about a plan to attack the cohort and portal them all to hell too. He kept talking about portalling people to hell. I feel him on a personal level!!!

“Rafael knew he had the option of not listening to what they had to say. But here is the thing about people, they don’t get to you. You get to them. They simply say something and leave. They probably don’t even mean the things they say or lose sleep over it. But it wasn’t the same for you. You obsess over it. You stay awake at night and let it consume your dreams. And that was the worst part because all of it looks like a choice. All of it looks like your fault.” THIS!!!!

“He ran his hand through the boy’s blue curls. Max had his own battles to fight. But they had to fight together.”

NO. ANYTHING BUT MAGNUS CRYING BECAUSE THEN I CRY!!!

“Fuck everyone else,” dad growled. “They’ve hurt our family enough.” EXACTLY!!!

“He needed to survive this. So, he decided to go back to the place he had learned how to survive in the first place. He needed to go back home.” Okey, this was a lot and I need a moment and some therapy probably

“Camilla Alvarez.” Interesting

The texts are just *chef kiss*

“His father had done that. Alec Lightwood had helped Joaquin and his people create a new world in Buenos Aires.” I LOVE ALEC LIGHTWOOD

Okey, but all of that conversation with Rafe and Magnus was beautiful and now I’m crying

THE OUTFIT!!! MASTERPIECE

Blue banners when the lost return, the shadowhunter rhythm said. Rafael had returned home – and he was no longer lost. WOW. JUST WOW.

“I would like to propose that we include a provision on hate speech,” Rafael said. FUCK YEAH

Not to be dramatic, BUT HOLY FUCK!! All this Cohort moment really hits cause its what society is like

“This is unacceptable!” Paige Ashdown looked furious. “Lightwood, you can’t just keep bringing up new laws to protect your family.” “I wouldn’t have to if you didn’t keep attacking my family, Paige!” the Consul Voice boomed across the hall. “And I’m not doing this to protect my own. My family happens to be one of the many you’ve victimized with your vicious prejudice.” LOUDER SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR

“I’m the Inquisitor’s daughter,” she said. “Next time, think twice before you quote the law at me.” Hello? Yes, I would like to request a seat at the Anjali supremacy cause that girl is such a badass

She turned to the Council. The Inquisitor looked like he was going to cry from pride. Rafael’s dad looked half terrified but mostly impressed. Lily was blowing kisses at Anjali. The other downworld leaders looked quite pleased.“Over to you Consul,” Anjali gave him a salute as usual – and then she was gone. “THAT’S THE BEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!” Emma Carstairs yelled. “Goddamn, I wish Magnus was here to see this,” Uncle Jace grinned. “That was satisfying as hell.” “No worries, I recorded the whole thing!” Kit put up his hand.- THEY HAVE SUCH AN ENERGY

“He wasn't afraid. He still wanted to hold her. He realized he wanted to hold her even if it would set him on fire.” My heart, i just 💙💙💙

OKAYY. That was a lot of trauma, screaming, loving and hating. And it also came longer than expected but you can’t blame me!! I loved it soooo much, it was amazing as always

Now guess who has 10 assignments to deliver and hasn’t started them for spending all the time reading this?? YES, it's me, so I better get to work 💙💙

FIRST OF ALL WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE SO MANY ASSIGNMENTS AND TESTS I AM GOING TO SET THE EDUCATION SYSTEM ON FIRE AND BUILD IT AGAIN FROM THE ASHES DO NOT TEST ME!!!

Also I am glad you enjoyed this. It is a very heavy chapter. So, do feel time to rest and recover.

I'll see you soon bebe 💙

Content that no one asked for- My favourite Eurovision winners of the past decade (Note how I said favourite and not best, because lets be real, Euphoria will slap all these bitches.)

10. 2011

This I feel, is a common opinion. I recently was watching a rerun of 2011 with some ESC friends on discord and I kept on calling this song “Zero Chemistry” because,,,, well. The lack of chemistry the two singers have here make me straight up uncomfortable especially after the bridge (and my boyfriend agrees with me). Like, I can tell they’re not actually in love and they’re acting and when it’s that obvious, its just- egh. As for the song, well its cute (may have even been stuck in my head in my final art exam) but there were ten out of ten better songs that year (Lena) and while it defs is a qualifier, it ain’t a winner.

9. 2017

Thing is…. I can totally see why this won, unlike 2011, so that’s why it’s not last. But I didn’t like the guys attitude (the winner speech) and the song isn’t my jam. The winners reprise with the sister was sweet and tbh I cannot fault that as she really was half his journey. But thats all I have to say about is.

8. 2016

First, this has NOTHING to do with Dami Im. For political reasons,,, this is quite low but that doesn’t mean I hate it. It’s actually quite a good song and oh my gosh her voice. It’s just- *chefs kiss* But also, whenever I hear this song I have a specific embarrassing memory comes to my head (think, high note no earphones silent room) and that has turned me off the song a bit. And yes, I think this song was far too politically included to compete in Eurovision, but there are always those that slip through the cracks (Armenia am I right). And I am a history nerd so I cant fault the history behind it. Just that damn memory- 

7. 2018

Picture this. I am 17, freshly getting into my big europhase. And so I pay attention to the contest for the first time ever, pick my favourites and then this won. I was shocked. Yes it was quirky but I never thought it would win, and I think it’s victory might have been partly because of #MeToo. It’s a bop though, just still don’t think it was a winner. Sorry, Israel. (although i am a tiny bit happy that Salvador handed over to this oops)

6. 2015

Ahh, 2015 and your overwhelmingly strong top 3, what would we do without you. Let me preface that while Heroes is a bop and defs deserved to do as well as it did, I personally think Italy or Russia’s performances were more powerful and raw than this. That said, Sweden still earned this win, and I cannot fault that. However, since I am so undecided on whether I like it as a winner, it cannot be higher. Sorry Mans. (also we must humble Sweden)

5. 2019

I really wanted Australia to win in 2019, and  I was a little taken aback when they didn’t place as well as they should have. And I really think that that affected how I saw The Netherlands’ win, even though it was a rightful winner. Now looking back on it, I can see why it won. It is a beautiful song, almost haunting in a way, and I think it really takes you on a journey. It’s simplistically beautiful. Tired 5:30am me just slept on it in favour of her own country. 

4. 2012

Please do not shoot me… please. I know this song is the crowning glory of the ESC and I get that that and I see why. It is a masterpiece, a great song (and excellent for the shower). But I can get sick of songs and often I go through periods of straight up hating Euphoria, and not being able to listen to it. And that alone bumps it down a few rungs. 

3. 2014

This changed things, not just in Eurovision but this queen became an icon! How many winners can say that? Her winner’s speech, the fact that she wasn’t what people saw as the norm- I love everything about this win and believe it was so so important for the LGBT community and it calls for acceptance. Not only that, the song is so good too? Like, this song makes my straight ass feel like a drag queen ready to take on the world. And I can vibe with that. Also, the subtle lyric change in the finale,,,, mmmm yeah that’s what I am talking about. (also i will die in the golden dress)

2. 2013 

I really love this. It is so beautiful and just sounds so fresh and new, and I think that is thanks in part to the flute with really gives the song so much flavour. Like, this song makes me want to run through the Danish forests in a white dress. The lyrics also are pretty universal and you can relate them to nearly anything, something as intimate as a break up or it can be a call for peace. Emmelie is absolutely beautiful too, she seems like a super sweet person, which always helps in my books. I just,,,, really like this, go Denmark.

1. 2010

Remember how I said favourite and not best. This and Euphoria are what come into play. Anyone who knows me well enough can testament to how much I love this song. This song is a staple on my playlist, I never can get sick of it and it has nostalgic value as it’s one of the first ESC songs I listened to. Asides, Lena is straight up adorable and I love how she won it with charm and not a stage show or anything. Overall, I don’t really care what people say about this one, she earned this win hands down (it’s one of the biggest margins ever) and it will always hold a special place in my heart.  (i may or may not love germany but even then i still think i would love this song)

Please feel free to agree/disagree I know some placings will raise eyebrows
