lmk season 5 (or doesnt have to be season 5) theories? or just thoughts that might be true such type stuff?
lmk s5 will include mayor
here's why i think so
Tumblr media
so before we begin let's just keep in mind that most of us have heard that s5's villians are most likely the ten kings of the underworld who are also known as the grim reapers of their world, okay? keep this noted...
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT MAYOR
Tumblr media
OKAY SO WE HAVE MAYOR. i always hear people say that he should have a redemption arc in s5 but honestly thats not in character with mayor tbh I, personally, IMAGINE THAT HE'LL BECOME PHYSCO over LBD's death, not simply giving up but actually becoming ever so determined to bring back lady bone demon to help her accomplish her "destiny". How tho?
he'll kill macaque. :D
Tumblr media
okay so we know how macaque was brought back to life with LBD's power? I imagine that macaque has like "LBD life essence", and mayor will be wanting "LBD life essence" to bring back Lady Bone Demon.
NOW HERE COMES THE PART WHERE I TIE IN THESE BABIES
Tumblr media
so the ten kings of the underworld are tasked to keep in control those who die, yes?
i would LIKE to imagine that Mayor comes to contact these guys, telling them that Macaque is still illegally alive due to LBD, and how Mayor will help them get Macaque to put him to death like he shouldve been.
(with ofc, mayor's real intentions just using the ten kings to help him get closer to macaque because surely mayor couldn't simply approach and take macaque's "'lbd life energy" without the LMK main characters interupting him.)
SO YES.
that's my S5 plot theory that indeed includes mayor. :D
Tumblr media
okay, random note to end on, TOXICINSANITY MAKES NO SENSE, i still dig it a bit tho so uhm like imagine mayor meeting dead syntax while he's in the realm of the ten kings?? (since techniclly that would just be hell)
Tumblr media
NOW I HAVE ANOTHER S5 THEORY THO
this'll be a smaller rant, okay but imagine them all becoming famous due to saving the world and also just HAVING POWERS NOW
Tumblr media
LETS START WITH EVERYONE'S NEW LIVES, beggining with pigsy
so i imagine pigsy, and how maybe his shop would become more famous now? and due to that he suddenly has less time with MK and Tang, maybe he becomes more self-indulgent and maybe even selfish here?
FOR TANG, okay so tang, finally feeling important and famous for once, feels almost entitled to keep people cheering for him, forcing himself to help anyone he can, just like MK can. he finds himself becoming tuckered out, wondering if feeling important is really what he wanted.
(for my freenoodles homies, i can imagine that tang never really wanted to be famous but wanted to be loved, by PIGSY SPECIFICALLY OFC, but pigsy being busy cant spend time with tang, so on and so forth)
MK MEANWHILE, is trying his best to not be in the spotlight and tries to live a more secluded life, especially with his monkey form being just around the corner??
FOR MEI, i'de like to think that while she enjoys the fame, she can't help but feel split about MK not liking the attention, but man, she sometimes just cant help but spend a little self-indulgent time to just show off to everyone and be praised.
idk what else i can talk about SOBS IM SORRY NO WUKONG CONTENT FOR TODAY BUT LIKE???
Tumblr media
ive ranted fr long enough, good evening, morning, and afternoon, everyone.

Bubbles watches Supernatural season 5, episode 22: swan song.
This is a 42 minute episode. It took me 2 hours and a half to get through becase I had so many feelings and thoughts. Enjoy
CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SOOOON, THERE'LL BE PEACE WHEN YOU ARE DOOONEEE. LAY YOUR WEARY HEAD TO REEEST, DON’T YOU CRY NO MOOOOORREEEEE
Ah gabe how I miss you
Not you zacharia I hate you
I never cared about a car as much as I have about a 1967 chevrolet impala
I love that Dean canonically picks out his dads car, because it is the same as his dads car, who chose it because is son recommended it to hem because it reminded the son of his dads car who...
IM SORRY
Sammy sitting on the hood like that does things to me
Tumblr media
No no no dean youre being stupid
Wdym youre on board
AAAH DEAN LOOK AT YOU GROWING UP SEEING SAMMY AS A BIG BOY
Its still a stupid plan tho
Not normal about them
Nomnom blood
This gives a whole new meaning to milking
No poor sam look at his face he is stressed
Tumblr media
'Angels don't sleep'
Didnt we already establish that he is humaned
WE TALKED ABOUT STAGE 2 SUICIDE IDIATION
'You go to lisa and pray to god shes dumb enough to take you in' HAHAHHAHA spoken like a true sibling
You're so silly sam you know dean would start a second apocalypse for you
SEE YA IN HELL
NO
The way I screamed
'When he gets in, keep fighting, don't give an inch'
'Yes sir'
NO SAM THATS BOBBY DONT YOU DARE YES SIR HIM
I cant tell if it's because this was how dickchester always talked to him so it's reflex, or if it’s Sam's way of saying 'youre like a father to me'
Imma go with both for my sanity
My friend bunbun: that john issues run deep with these boys
Me: The mariana trench would be impressed
Tumblr media Tumblr media
'Oh I'm supposed to lie'
Tumblr media
'Suuure... they'll be.. fiiiiine'
Cass I love you so, you are so real for this
That cannot be tasty
Or good for the stoomy
Oh my god Sam is high as a kite
Tumblr media
Nooo not chuck going over the impala memoriessss
Noooooo
I need you to know that I'm watching this, hand clasped over my mouth, going NoOoOoOoOo
I have a feeling that the memories of the car will make sam able to grasp control again or smt
Also, dean is such a sentimental washcloth, rebuilding the car with the legos and the soldier man
Oh sam that was sexy of you (Zapping the demons by just closing his eyes)
'I live, he lives, we get our parents back'
Heres the thing, from videos and fic I know that at some point sam lives for a year or so without dean
So now im like, uh oh
I feel like this is an act
Its all an act
Ofcourse they knew the devil would know about the horsemen
Theyre his main henchmen, it would be stupid to think that the devil wouldnt know about the rings
Finally, the boy has memorised something (The spell for the cage)
aaaaaaaaahgg
COME ON SAMMY
aaaahshfhm fukb fgbukgxfubkrgxukb
NO NO NO NO NO
SAAAAM BE STRONG
......
Wtf Lucy that is so not funny
Pretend that Sam had won the fight with lucy in his brain
Only to then be like "jk"
Dean you shouldve just kicked him in the hole while his back was at you
Fidget spinner of power hihi
Tumblr media
Why would he let dean live
Michael's vessel
NAH THE DEVIL JUST MADE A VERY FUNNY STAR WARS REFERNCE'
I suggest we become drunk' -cass
Oph my god these dumbasses really did think lucy wouldn't know of the rings
NoOoOoOo Bobby mourning his sooon
Tumblr media
I am not well
I know what you can do, dean
You can have some gay sex with the angel
Knowing this was meant to be the end end makes it so much worse
I cant do this in my own oh my gosh
Im literally going like 'crying noise, noohoo Bunbuuun'
Them gazing th stars togehter on clear nights🥺🥺🥺🥺
Driving 2 days for a game, and a week for a concert
Heart goes auch
Nooooooo
Not okay about this
Its the Good Omens finale all over again
Chuck has grown on me
WELL THEN I AINT GONNA LET HIM DIE ALONE
Winchester pt3 you fool
I cant say i trust lucy, but hes making some good points
God is giving abusive father for sure
'You made me do this' he tells his kids
Another thougth, actually
Sam and dean where the perfect vessels because of ther lineage, cain and abel, i believe
But also bc they were representative of michael and lucy themselves
But hear me out. What if john and god are also reminiscent of each other
After all, the brothers couldn't be who they became without their father, have it be winchester or the angels
Both brothers (lucy & michael vs winchester) didnt have a mother
Had a father who was demanding
And both pairs of brothers, as established by the shwo, are the same. The loyal warrior who never doubted the father, and the fallen, who did
They could never become these people without the father, ergo, without god and john
We know john was a horrible father
So even ingoring what lucy is proposing here (god made me as I am) and my own opinions on God, the train of logic still assumes that God had to be, is, equally as abusive towards the brothers as z
John was towards the winchester brothers
Please tell me that cassete is 'Carry on wayward son' by kansas
Or no, even better, the one song by asia hahahha
WTF DEAN HAHAHAH THAT WAS NOT THE MUSIC I EXPECTED
SORRY AM I INTERUPTING SOMETHING
You know, whenever I'm annotating the episodes lke I'm doing now, it always takes me an hour to watch an episode instead of the forty minutes that it actually last
but at the speed I am annotating and thinking right now , it will genuinely take me twice as long.
like it will take me an hour and a half at least I think. (Ha! Bubbles. You fool. It nearly took you 2 hours and a half)
Youre next on my list buttercup
CASS WHERE THOSE YOUR FIRST BIG BOY WORDS! (Hey, assbutt!)
Not the molotov cocktail fhrnifhhf
WHAT THE FUCJ
CASTI3L WHAT THE DU JDUCK
Tumblr media
Holy fuck
I need a moment
No
Sammy it's okay I'm here
Bunbun I am so unwell about this
Unwell
I KNEW IT
OH MY GOD I FUCKING CALLED IT
Im not crying youcrying
I love that they do this flasback bit with jus wind, and the 'tok' sound every now and then
Makes it a very strong scene
SCREAMING
ENDING ON THE HUG SCREAMING
The fact that the actual hug removes the white noise
Unwell
oh
Oh my god
Sam is going to pull michael with him
I can feel it
Okay I think this is one of the few times the bad cgi actually kinda ruined it for me
No
Hes all alone
He cant be
No one who could possibly begin to understand left
Have I mentioned Im not okay
Cass
The relief in my voice when I whispered this out loud just now is ludicrous
And now, kiss
'Cass are you god?' Oh sweetie
BOBBY
this is making me think of john milton
'And as they walk hand in hand, slowly their way through eden"
Along those lines
Chuck quit yer bitchin
Dean really went, 'okay god, its personal now'
Peace, or freedom?
Holy fuck
Because he made a promise
My stomach is genuinly physically aching
The fact that even deans voice sounds broken
Actually crying rn
What if chuck is god
WHAT THE FUCK CHUCK WHERE DID YOU GO
NAH DONT TELL ME IM FUCKING RIGHT
SAM WTF
Sam? Lucy?
Sam
Oh im sorry it cant stop here wtf
How where they ever plannning on stopping like this that is unholy
1h 30 later:
I know i started spn on my own accord, but I hope you know what you did
I was eating with my parent just now, and during the entired meal (now still) carry on was playing on repeat in my head. Coming from someone who typically lives a soundtrack-free life
Another hour later:
Still recovering
Have been having imaginative co-star interviews with jared padalecki for about 2 hours now. It's a coping mechanisnm
Literally my whole day was spn
I woke up with fic. Ate lunch with an episode. Watched the finale, read more fic

Bubbles watches SPN pt5? Annotations throughout the episodes.
Season 2
Series 2 breaking my heart right out of the gates huh
Dean Kill count: 4
I mean how even, bestie we have only just reached series 2
Omg sams acting during this scene is phenomonal
The relief on his face oh my lord it made me cry
JOHN YOU FUCKING LYING PIECE OF SHIT OF A DICKWAD
Did John Bitchester trade his life for Deans
Jup. Jup he did
What crazy fucked up child smiles at the clown standing in the garden staring at her in the middle of the night
It got long. Get readmored
GIRL WTF??? STRANGER DANGER?? (Small child let's clown into her house)
more thoughts. now this isn't always the case but very often um hitting someone is a taught behaviour, right. But um Dean hits Sam a couple of times and you can argue that this is because they live quite a violent life. but there's a theme, the things they fight always fight back, it is always violent towards them. but we see Dean hits Sam a couple of times when he's not being physically violent when they re just having an argument so um theory John bichester also beat the shit out of a dean
Jo! You cant be angy at them bc of the sins of the father
Because Dean and Sam are the main characters you get very used to them and their banter and so it becomes very familiar
meaning that now in the next episode when I got to see the intro where Dean is holding hostages?? My first reaction was literally to laugh and go 'oh dean what did you get yourself into this time'
SAMMY IS A CHRISTIAN???
Sometimes you learn things abt a man
Like a daily prayer, this guy?
SAMMY WTF
🎶my daddy shot your daddy in the head🎶
Why do they keep saying 'waste' instead of 'kill'
Dean death count:5
Welp nvm
HOW DID BOBBY KNOW SO QUICK???? (That Sam was possesed, I'm guessing)
I love that in this episode they basically called Bobby over to be their Dad
KATE??
Kate from teenwolf is abt to get killed
Thats great catharsis
And ofcourse the bitch dont die
John shouldve been killed so much sooner so bobby could raise em instead
Oh man I fucking love Madison (werewolf girlie)
I need her to be part of the gang
No
Nuhu
No no no
Im crying
I dont like this episode
Nono (werewolf girlie had to die)
YOU CANT MAKE DEAN CRY
ISNT MY BOY HURTING EBOUGH YET
No wtf
Dont hurt my boys like this
Wtffff
There better be Maddison lives ABO fics out there
I need this guy to have a sweet lovung gf
I mean, he has good puppy dog eyes for suffering and painBut like, the guy smiles real cute too yk
Yk. Them breaking in to get themselves arrestet is very funny and all until you remember that the fbi have a frigging open case on dean
IM SORRY IM IN PAIN AGAIN
You are telling me that Deans biggest wish is that their dad never went demon hunting and thus never got them ended up in this life
Oh my fucking god the mom is going to be alive isnt she
Bunbun (my friend) I dont like this show it hurts me more often than merlin did
Dean hahahah this man has no tact
No im sorry his exitement to mown a lawn is actually heartbtreaking
It shows how severely he lacked normalcy and how deeply he craves it
Another thought
The. Fact. That. John. Is. Still. Dead. In. Deans. Ideal. World.
Tumblr media
*War flashbacks* (my fellow AFTG fans will understand)
His impact on the wolrd😭😭😭
No Bunbun help I literally -sobbed-
When dean is talking to johns grave 'why do I have to be the hero. Does mom not deserve her life? Doed sammy not deserve to be happy?'
Sam slaugher count: 1
Gotta love that the literal demon from hell says 'im proud of ya' more often than their own father does
Love that NOBODY is surprised the guy crawled out of hell (john bitchester)

Ultraman Anime Season 3 Review
Tumblr media
This was absolutely the best season by far, theres much less inconsistency and plotholes this time around. And with 12 episodes, it definitely felt more comprehensive and less rushed.
Tho there were still some sticking points which Ive made a list of while binge-watching the season such as:
1. I felt that the portrayal of the scene where Hayata supposedly “dies” couldve had a much greater impact if it was shown that Shinjiro was able to identify Hayata on the rooftop prior. It was really weird to see Shinjiro act out when the blast imploded when previously it was shown that he couldnt even make out what was happening on the rooftop.
2. The whole idea of “Bemular being Ultraman” point has been put off so far by this point that seeing him working behind the scenes felt so painful and contrived to watch cause no one from the main cast really “acknowledges” him even tho they should since hes literally Ultraman. And with all the events tied to his existence, aka Shinjiro’s 2nd awakening and the Space Contraction event from Season 2, has no one bothered to consult him on the validity of the Universal Alliance Council? 
3. Daisuke later pointed out that Bemular was Ultraman, but previously no one seemingly make the link so to have this reveal being taken so nonchalantly at that point feels like a total waste of dramatic reveal (but then again, its a reveal thats been late for 3 seasons alr so..). But in fact, they didnt even outright reveal that, they just simply pointed out that Bemular somehow has access to Specium, as a manga-reader im like bruh wtf is this, its like the anime writers are trying their absolute best NOT to establish this connection like wtf
4. I found it really weird that Adad didnt really bother to give more info about Mephisto to Dan, sounds like prolonging the plot for no reason and being mysterious for the sake of being mysterious, because there was really no reason why shouldnt, especially since at that point in time, the SSSP were dealing with the Univeral Alliance Council as a whole, which threatens bascially everyone
5. Anyone else had the feeling that Taro was nerfed for the first half? Dude was just reduced to shooting fireballs and not literally sprout actual flamethrowers and pulses of pure fire like in Season 2
6. So Rena just stupidly decided to trust Seiji even tho his suit was spotted killing her dad? Plus Seiji’s filmsy explanation was really weird considering he was framed.  This is some Asahi-leveling of illogical behavior coming from both sides since this new piece of revelation shouldve stunned and alarmed both parties in question 
7. There was a pretty convenient plothole here, that Taro told Ide that he was gonna go to the hospital that Endo is at but Shinjiro went to the hospital that Ultraman and Zetton fought in, and only later it was revealed that apparently its the same hospital wut? Alot of conveniences here this season
8. Another convenient point to hasten plot progression was Bruh Jack and Rena showing up at the SAME town that Shinjiro and Taro are in even tho they came from vastly different locations? Jack had just arrived from the US and Rena literally came from the Alien city
9. Another convenient point was why didnt Zarab just killed off Endo instead of leaving him alive in the first place tho? In fact, why was he hurt in the first place? It was obvious that Mephisto already knew about the “Calamity” plan, and Jack even detailed it out to the rest later on. In fact, why didnt Bemular just pop up to the SSSP and explained wtf was happening to Shinjiro and how to manage it, it was apparent that he knew what was going on from the get-go but seemingly as an act to artificially prolong the plot, he refused to talk directly to the SSSP and this bascially setup the redundant chain of events that lead to Endo’s assassination attempt
10. Valky pointed she had different goals from Mephisto, but we have no idea what it was even till the end? Was it a planned subplot that got abandoned again?
11. While Taro did came to the conclusion that the there was indeed the existence of Fake Ultraman, this was truly only valid to explain the cases of Shinjiro going berserk in the 1st and 3rd instance. We saw that Shinijiro truly went berserk during the 2nd instance when he envisioned Zetton for the 2nd time but he didnt really point that out either during Taro’s monologue.
12. Bemular died too quickly and we still don't have an in-anime explanation why he became like this
13. So it was never really explained why did Shinjiro not evolve into a Giant of Light again? And why is evolving into a Giant of Light a bad thing either? Would he lose himself after evolving or...? Cause it wouldve helped if we had more exposition on this, this whole line of logic of Shinjiro becoming a Calamity was very obviously rushed and botched considering its aided by the fact that Bemular for some reason, refuses to actually provide his expertise on wtf is going on with Shinjiro throughout the season
14. The various “visions” Shinjiro had throughout the season was so random, literally the exact same situation as Orb in UFO having visions about ES of all things, except in this case, this was purely done for convenient plot progression like bru
Overall, it was kind of rushed near the end because the fact that Shinjiro still went out of control seemingly on purpose in the public eye made it still hard to believe he didnt had his power under control
Plus from the standpoint of the public which was deluded so deeply by Mephisto prior and had their reservations, truly it wouldve been less convinced. Esepically at the end of the day, Mephisto and Edo’s of logic makes complete sense and the anime totally sidestepped addressing the crux of the conflict between the 2 ideologies with no reconcilation, it ended up being reduced to Shinjiro’s personal character development instead. Especially so since Edo and Mephisto were sort of lumping their attitude towards the New Ultras with the impact of the original Ultraman itself
But this season gets BIG bonus points as imagine my surprise when Maya was still alive lmao (since yall know from my s2 review that I really didn't like how they handled Maya's character then) for the post-credits scene, but it still dosent explain the plotholes of the other Warudan aliens in the previous season
Again, this was definitely the best season by far and with EVEN MORE exciting action. 
Although this is the final season, I doubt TsuPro is actually done with this venture since Season 2 was Netlflix Japan’s Number 1 anime last year and I have no doubt Season 3 would be the same this year. And tbh, this is literally the final season purely because the Manga just simply doesnt have enough content at this point to warrant a 4th Anime Season. So I suspect that this sub-franchise most likely continue with as said, the Tiga/Zero route and either theyre gonna be following the Novel concept of also including the previous Ultra suits from the first 3 seasons, or itll be a totally brand new, fresh slate with totally new suits and characters involved only.
Personally Im hoping itll be a mixture of the 2, but for this to work, they would most likely have to nerf Shinjiro and have him being able to only use the Type B suit. And I really hope we get to see the suits of other ultras like the ones we saw some years back like Gaia, Max, Hikari etc
In fact, I believe I read somewhere that theres gonna be some news about this on the 21st of this month, so stay tuned

hmm that 90s show looks like booty, ive never finished that 70s show + every time i rewatch i stop at the end of season 5 bc thats when the humor loses its novelty for me and the audience laughter gets distracting. i always liked the attention to detail in the extras and how many cute outfits there were even in the background actors and the first season definitely felt autobiographical, but at a certain point the writers stopped introducing side characters and painted themselves into a corner not only by starting the show on 1976 and stretching the decade out by 4 years but also by ending the world-building. it came to a point where these 6 friends had absolutely no other friends, no new gfs/bfs and no reason to still be stuck in wisconsin at their grown up 30yr old age. none of those characters wouldve stuck around in that small town and instead of expanding the world and cast, they cut out donnas sister early on (which couldve led naturally to a younger cast/friend group that couldve continued the show as the older cast graduated hs and moved away), brought in no new diverse blood (scared off reagan gomez who wouldve been a fun addition but refused to be typecast, idk how white wisconsin is but the show couldve been more progressive) and stopped introducing major events in history which is what made the world so relateable and real, and cut out joseph gordon levitts gay character bc audiences didnt react well (considering the 70s, certainly the 60s, was more progressive about sex and gender, its pathetic how easily the writers were cowed and they shouldntve been afraid to address topics especially since it was funny and brought new material and actors to the show whose story got repetitive very quickly and wouldve benefited from new conflict). the idea of making hyde black was stupid as hell and unrealistic. why not just invite a black actor to the gang ? and i know sitcoms wear out their stay always but i think the writers really fucked it by letting things get stale. if donna was a combative feminist why didnt she have any women friends ? certainly she would know some lesbians and this feminist trait was abandoned at a point when it rlly should not have. it wouldve been fun to see her involved in the movement and get challenged on her beliefs and introduced other women actors who perhaps disagreed on her experience as a white feminist and brought more conflict to the show. idk im just thinking about the possible degrassi topics they couldve dealt with but with humor. her characterization was confused at times bc she was meant to be one of the guys but shes the least chill person in the bunch and was often hypocritical and as bratty and unreasonable as jackie. theres also no way jackie didnt have a posse of girlfriends, she may have been bossy and unlikeable in that world but she was most certainly popular in high school so to make it seem like she had absolutely no other friend group was a wasted opportunity. kelso 100% had other friends that couldve been introduced, there couldve been more parties more love interests more shenanigans if ppl outside of the friend group were acknowledged. theres political movements that couldve been used in the show for more than an episode and just more attempts at sincerity which the show lost. also fez lost his tan and looked quite like flaccid pasty playdoh i cant believe he got w so many underaged It girls at the time. ideally the writers shouldve either started the show by disregarding the pilot episode’s new year party and just slipped it in that actually its 1971 or they shouldve committed to having a tight and well written 4 seasons. i know that 80s show failed out the bat and i believe its bc the writers lost their imagination and the show was no longer a personal story but just a cash cow. there are so many stories of the 80s that couldve been told bc so much happened, so many cultural moments and idk the writers just werent creative anymore. the trailer for that 90s show looks like a nickelodeon show in the casting and i wonder how realistic it’ll get or how good it’ll be

s22: episode 10, bike parade. i didnt super love this season either, so its kinda a case of picking the one i wasnt bored with. plus in a way it kinda felt like one of the original episodes, it was like a lil blast from the past !
s23: episode 2, band in china ^_^ we got stans band, crimson dawn !! it was great learning more abt how stan felt abt having to move to a farm, plus butters ripping it on a guitar was so funny. and then randy did stuff too idk
s24: this season has just been the 2 specials so far, but i liked the vaccination special, episode 2 the best ^_^ bc 1, the brovorce arc started, n im rly excited to see what happens with that. and also the way it ended left me hopeful that maybe the shows gonna go back to the way it used to be a little bit <3 i also liked how we saw stan gettin really mentally ill with freaking out over the pandemic, but that mightve been in the first episode instead...

if it’s not too late, 12 for episodes and ships, and 17!
its never too late! thankyou for the ask 🥰 oo damn this is gonna be a hefty one, just to prepare you this is gonna be long 😅😅😅
spoiler alert for my friends who are finishing up season 2 rn, be careful if you look at my top five episodes, pay attention the the episode numbers, i will put [ ] in bold at the beginning and end of spoilers!
12. Top 5 ships
5. faith x myself because have you seen faith? shes such a babe! spare consensual kiss maam?
4. willow x oz, i dont know if this is an unpopular or not but i feel like if the 90s had been more accepting of term then willow wouldve been bisexual, but like even now tv shows will rarely let characters say that word :( but anyway i love them! theyre both quirky and kinda awkward but its such a sweet relationship and you really see how they go from awkward crushes to an actual deep relationship, oz is one of my favourite characters too what a dude!
3. giles x jenny, mlmxwlw solidarity in this bisexual couple! there is no an ounce of straight between them and i love it, i love their dynamic, i love that giles *respects women* (im staring daggers at xander rn), also the original girlboss x malewife couple askdjaksjhd
2. drusilla x spike, these two!!!!!! once again a bisexual couple with zero straight between them, the vibes are off the charts. sexy vampires, goth x punk love, i just love them man, and their relationship is so interesting to delve into. like theyre vampires, theyre soulless and yet they have a capacity for love, they care deeply for eachother, theyre so tender towards eachother in season 2 in the way they take turns to care for one another, also drusilla picking spike up with one hand made me gay and thats on that
1. willow x tara!!!!! lesbians man lesbians! they have a beautiful relationship, until a certain point wink wink, they feel like a perfect match, willows become more outgoing due to buffy and xander snd having a proper group of friends, so its cool to see her as the more outgoing independant one in the relationship, and tara is such a honey 🥺 the biggest sweetheart in the world what a babe!!!! also like how groundbreaking was their relationship? as a queer couple, they had p much the dame amount of screentime as a aueer relationship today! and willow says the word lesbian so many times and is always making gay jokes which is something shows today are too scared to do, its honestly refreshing which is weird for a show in the 90/00s
12. Top 5 episodes
this is so hard because its such a damn good show so i had to rlly be picky about this but here we go
5. 6x22 ‘grave’- i watched buffy for the first time last year at work coz i worked with one other person just packing shit, and THIS was the episode that made us cry infront of eachother. the scene with willow and xander at the end is one of my all time favourite scenes and like legit we were watching and we starting going like ha.. this is so sad Q_Q and we looked at eachother and we were both crying akdjdjsjdhs its SO GOOD, like this is a friendship ive been so invested in and [seeing xander be able to pull her back from that dark place was so heart wrenching and amazing god its so good]
4. 3x12 ‘helpless’ - im finishing up s2 in my rewatch rn so i havent rewatched this one to double check but i remember loving it man. buffys father daughter relationship with giles is my favourite of the whole show they make my heart ache, so i love that this is an episode that really shows you how dedicated giles is to her, [its the breaking point where he finally disregards the fact that hes a watcher and acts as her father once and for all, its a turning point for their relationship where he is finally embracing the fact that shes like a daughter to him and i just love to see it Q_Q get you a dad who will leave his lifes calling for you]
3. 4x22 ‘restless’ - season 4 is interesting coz it has really good episodes and them some gd awful ones 😂😂 but this one just blew me away, i love a good character study episode and this is THE SHIT! its so weird and creepy but in the most perfect way, its not on the nose its so subtle, it feels like an uncanny valley version of buffy almost, i like that they finished the season first and then took this episode to do something out of the box and different i feel like it lets them fully explore this idea without the pressure of needing plot included. [also the cheese man is iconic. dont however like xander being all nasty with willow and tara but whats new there man]
2. 1x12 ‘The Prophecy Girl’ - for my first watch of buffy i wasnt that into the first season, like i enjoyed it but i didnt think it was anything super special? but this episode changed EVERYTHING for me. up until now buffy had been fun, witty, charming, but not anything new atleast for me, maybe in the 90s it was but right now its your average teen supernatural show. but this episode!!!! the emotion! buffy facing her death, her speech about how shes just 16 and shes scared and she doesnt want to die, that is what i wanna see!! its heartbreaking and it made me cry, and then it gives us the wonderful moment of giles trying to take her place and buffy realising that she has to be the one to do it, man its so good! basically anything with buffy and giles being a duo is gonna make it an automatic yes from me and this is indeed the case for this episode, i just love that the show remembers that shes a child! shes not brave all the time, shes not strong all the time, shes just doing her best and sometimes its overwhelming, 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 i bow to this episode
1. 2x17 ‘passion’ - i know i just sang praises about prophecy girl but THIS EPISODE IS THE SHIT, the best episode full stop. i wont accept any argument. angel is probably my favourite big bad, its so funny to see plain bread, mopey brooding angel become this charismatic, funny, poetic, blood thirsty angelus, hes everything i want in a villain and in this episode he delivers! rip jenny tho love her. i think the tension built around angel is so good, because of his drawings and notes left around, every scene youre worrying like is he here now? are they safe or what? its so tense! and also it is me and im a slag for buffy x giles father daughter moments and this episode fucking delivers! giles discovering jennys dead body is probably one of the best scenes on the show, the dramatic irony is heAVY, we know jenny is dead, we know that these flowers arent from her, but giles is so so happy, and i want to see him happy but you just know somehing horrific is about to happen and damn does it. its a masterpiece! i love jenny and giles so much it is so sad, but also the fact that it gave us that scene makes me almmmoost ok with it? i also love the moment where giles breaks down in buffys arms, hes been there for her and now shes returning the favour and hes accepting it i just 😭😭😭 also on a different note, angels narration of this episode is amazing! it gives us great insight to who he is as “evil angel” and like even though hes awful i was also kind of rooting for him coz hes just such a great villain
sorry this is so long lmao, last question!
17. Which characer do you wish had less of a focus on them in the show?
i dont wanna get yelled at butttttt i dont like the amount of focus on dawn. i think it makes sense for the her first season considering the story arc but that season really does double down its focus onto dawn and buffy and it barely leaves room for anyone else to have a storyline, it keeps the episodes super depressing too its like a constant level of just sadness the whole time because we’re so stuck in THEIR arc, theres no room to balance it out and have a breather, some people might like that its more serious but i really really didnt like, i love episodes like prophecy girl where it is campy and brings the more emotional notes in when the time comes, but dawns whole arc is just constantly depressing the whole time i just hate it, and also just shes not a character i felt i could connect to because of how suddenly shes introduced, so its weird to have her SO focused on in the first half of that season coz we dont know her yet so i feel like the emotional moments dont land the way that they should? basically they shouldve eased us into dawn or introduced her differently and maybe i would like her enough to want the focus on her but i really just dont
adksjakjshd apologies for the essay this is, thanks for the ask!

So I watched 15x19 and yes I have thoughts
First of all, when I was catching up on s15 in prep for this the thing that struck me was just how boring and low-key the season is considering its the final season ever. Like I expected them to really pull out the big guns and do some epic shit yknow and its all just been pretty run of the mill, with the storyline basically being recycled from what I saw in s4/5/6 (big bad, we’ve got a solution, oh we lost it, on to the next etc etc) 
And I really felt that in this ep - I mean, thats it?? 
First off, the lack of care for Cas does not surprise me but it’s hella shitty and should be acknowledged. 
Second of all, what was with the pacing in like the first 10 minutes? Like it was all weird cuts and fade outs and jumping around. I dont know if it was the writing/direction/editing but the pacing felt really weird, was that just me??
The pacing of characters jumping in and out was fucking weird too - oh Cass is back, no hes not, oh Lucifer is back, oh hes dead, there a reaper then not, oh Michael is good, wait nope. 
And that “Final Battle” was SO FUCKING WEAK. They’re fighting GOD. Theyve been searching for a solution all season and they basically fell into one by chance? Oh Jack is absorbing power how fucking convinient, that makes life real easy. Also mean the boys dont actually have to do anything to solve the problem except get hit a few times. Lame as fuck! Also the old switcheroo, explaining with flashbacks is just shitty storytelling lbr. 
I expected something EPIC yall. Some massive sacrifice that had to be made to destory god, some cosmic conseuqences, some blood sweat and tears - this show has opened hell, seen demons swarming around, angels falling from the sky, holes to the centre of the fucking earth and the big final battle is them and God just stood next to a Lake?! It was just so underwhelming and boring yknow. The brothers didnt even have to do anything. Plus Jack absorbing all of God’s power from that one fight made no sense. 
And when Jack is god they dont even ask for Cas back? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
There wasn’t even a big moment between the brothers, just a casual beer and a drive. The whole thing was just so boring and low-key and underwhelming and the cheesey montage was the shitty cherry on top. This is the end of a 15 year era yall, go out with some fucking bang yknow. 
I know theres another ep next week (pretty sure?) which might have the epic, bloody, tear-jerking, gut punch I was expecting but I doubt it. I just expected more yknow. From what the cast have been saying I knew the expected ending of them going out in a blaze of glory (which is what shouldve happen lbr) we weren’t going to get but I expected more than this. Even after checking out on the show and checking back in for the end I expected to be left with a feeling more than
Well that was shit

I am soooo annoyed with this. An actual shit show. Maybe I’dbe like 10% less pissed off, had they at least given Dean a proper death not some amateur first day on the job bs. With that type of death might as well pull one of the endings from Mystery spot🙄😤 im pissed they killed him period. But I thought if they’d actually do that, they’d give him the hero type of death that he deserves. But nooo even that is too much to ask for. Im so mad so fuck all of them (especially ja*** because he liked this ending, im not saying im surprised he liked it bc ive been eh about him but I expected more from the cast side) i feel so bad for Jensen, he and Misha as well, deserved way better than this. And i know Jensen asked Kripke about the finale and he was like “yeah its good” so i wanna fight that dude as well. Because CMON. I wish that part in heaven where dean sits in baby and turns on the music and drives off (right after bobby scene) was the ending, except not in goddamn heaven. They shouldve just done the ending with him legit riding off into the sunset, happy that shit is over, and maybe Cas with him but thats also too much to ask so id settle for Dean talking to him on the phone and aaying hes on his way. I’m mad as all hell. (Also im mad that they did Misha THIS dirty, not even an appearance in the damn heaven, not even brought up properly..gross!) damn, im sorry. I just saw your posts and remembered how angry i was all over again😩 we deserved so much better Gaëlle!
I’m not even that pissed off about the way Dean died, it’s that he died period that’s disgusting. Who even reaped him? Who would reap Dean Winchester? Dean has said times and times again, as early as season 3, that he was tired. That he didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, that he was gonna die with a gun in his hand,and hadn’t he given enough? His entire life he lived for others, convinced he’d die bloody. And guess what? There’s nothing satisfying in hearing this for 15 years, and have it come true. It’s bullshit. It’s such terribly bad writing. It’s taking everything Jensen built and telling him it didn’t matter. I feel like complete shit for him, beyond the show ending and beyond how bad the finale was, it’s unfair to give Dean and Jensen this ending. Kripke just took Swan Song and rewrote it. And Swan Song would have been a correct ending for season 5, but not for season 15. Things changed between then and now. But it’s like it was all for nothing. 
And Misha, who carried that show, who saved that show, with Castiel, who was the embodiment of love and free will, to be treated that way? To be left as a sidenote on a wikipedia page as the angel who fell for love and in love but who died before the end, for nothing? He didn’t deserve that. Jensen and Dean didn’t deserve that, and neither did we. 
And you know the worst part? I love that show. I love it so much. It was with me through everything, high school and college and moving abroad and leaving my family, depression, coming out, losing friends to suicide and accidents, losing my grandmothers, losing my nieces, all this time it was right there to pick me up and it told me that family didn’t end with blood and that if you kept fighting, if you kept believing that it was worth it, then good would prevail. That good things do happen. And they took all that, all that hope, and ripped it to shreds and sent it back to me with a “fuck you” note. They literally told us with that ending that death was the only way for them to reach happiness. They did that. The cast has spent years talking about mental health and suicide prevention, and they did that. That was their last message. To say we deserved better doesn’t even begin to cover it.

rewatched legend of korra and i would like to get out some unpopular opinions. this is gonna be long.
-mako is literally not bad. i actually like him a lot. the only season i dont like him in is s2 but the rest hes lowkey a king.... (not my fav dont get me wrong. but he’s misunderstood:/ imo)
-makorra. there. i said it. they obv killed it in s2 but omggg i loved them in s1🥺 and even in s3 and s4 i think they got a lil spark. i do understand however that they kinda bring the worst out of each other so maybe theyre not a perfect match! i just think they have good chemistry. ill leave it at that.
-korras*mi is not fleshed out😭in the show!!! in the comic they are a cute couple but like them getting together in the end didnt make much sense to me. like in s4 their only significant interactions were asami saying her hair was cute, and korra only writing to asami. then they just HAPPENED?! yea idk. not rly buying it. but i do understand that the creators prolly kinda had to tip toe around their relationship bc ya know. nickelodeon. but like i said the comics did them justice❤️
-bolin and opal as a couple are boring:/ yea. not much more to say here. cute but boring.
-su yin is ELITE. i dont think this is an unpopular opinion but like she might be my fav character. def at least top 5.
-ranking the seasons: s1, s4, s3, s2. i dont think this is super unpopular either but yea.
-zaheer??? is?????? RIGHT??? hes hardly a villain ok im sorry idc.
-why does tenzin not have darker skin?? and why is kya not a little lighter? like they rly just said “carbon copies of katara and aang” like come on i think we can spice it up a lil more. still love all the kataang kids tho!!!!!! theyre all up there for my fav characters.
-ok. did anyone else notice how much faster traveling is in lok?????? getting from the south pole to the north pole literally took an ENTIRE SEASON in atla which i believe was at least a month. but in korra they go across the world in like one ep. idk seems weird.
-still do not understand how there are more bison. not complaining. but yea.
-kai and jinora is kind of a weird couple. im SORRY but i said it for atla and ill say it for lok, theyre KIDS! literally like 12. why do they feel the need to pair CHILDREN up. idk its just a BIT odd to me!
-fight scenes are SO much better in lok than atla holy SHIT.
-lavabending does not make much sense to me. kinda think thats mostly bc im dumb tho lol.
-korra=aang. i feel like this debate is so polarizing like ppl almost always love one and hate the other but i deadass like them almost completely equally.
-that being said, korrawouldbeataanginafight. idc.
-i b like :/ when i find out the og team avatar were not the best parents. i do like that they made them human and flawed but like:/ aang and toph seemed...........just flat out bad parents😭 makes me sad. but thats life ig!
-bumi..........shouldve stayed a nonbender. idk i rly liked that ab his character!!!
-ikki>jinora
-meelo=the worst
-it was weird seeing cars and radios and phones in lok. i get it. future=more technology but idk. it was weird. i dont think i liked it.
-varrick is king
-that being said!!!^^^ varrick and zhu li getting together also felt weird lmao. felt a lil forced. cute, but a smidge forced.
-asami was so capable of kicking major ass idk why we didnt see her do it more!!!
-i. want. more. PRO BENDING!
-i HATE!!!!!!! the new airbending outfits. hate them. a lot. hate.
-wing and wei were unsung HEROES. they were so dope and had like 10 lines total.
-also amon was lowkey onto sum too......like maybe dont take ppls bending away but... idk im js......
-90% of the eyebrows in lok were absolutely ridiculous and horrible. bolin, mako, tenzin, bumi, UNALAQ. like. u dont gotta do all that!
-they were kind of...... making bending a broken system in lok??? if that makes sense?? i get it, they were just trying to expand the possibilities but idk. lavabending, the waterbending that gets rid of bad spirits, flying, the spiritual projection thing, being able to bloodbend outside of a full moon, taking bending away w bloodbending?? plus they made things like metalbending and lightning bending SO common like those were supposed to be rly rare i thought? idk!!! maybe its just me!
-^that being said, as i mentioned earlier, bending is overall way cooler and better in lok.

peaky blinders (i started a while back, life happened then watched the whole thing again this year w the sis. fuckin wow, i cannot. i miss u john)

derry girls (teenagers being allowed to be teenagers for once ffs, not giving us model looking supposed 16 year olds?? thank god. also giving glimpses of how the conflicts of that time affected their lives. just nice)
that 70s show (the episode names really just .. i couldnt stop. season 8 doesnt exist pls and thank u.)

2all - catfish and the bottlemen, the balance (hits HARD and in the best way. all of the balance is just so dear to me i can’t imagine this year without it and will definitely be sad not to have new music from the boys until they decide to bless us. “i gave my love to all, all the ones that stuck around” which is also a quote i’ve stuck on my laptop.)
social cues - cage the elephant, social cues (i’ll just say it now, but cage the elephant kills me,, and matt’s voice is just always good to me. so when the album came out ofc i cried. “hide me in the back room, tell me when it’s over. dont know if i can play this part much longer” the way this bit is.. with the change in beat and matt’s singing just thank you. black madonna from the album is another fav)
wars - of monsters and men, fever dream (of monsters and men came out with a new album;........ WHEN I SAY I DIED --I REALLY DID. their music always has been transcendental to me so this one did what was promised. “love you on the weekends, but im careless and im wicked,” just... neato i cannot)

the fall of house usher - edgar allan poe (do i really have to elaborate? short story that leaves u unsettled)
5 positive or happy things that happened this year!
came out to my best friends  (who were both supportive as hell)

The Hollow review/summary/rant/explanation of why i hate the ending I wasn’t sure whether I should post this, but I did enjoy reading others experiences watching this show, so here’s mine under the cut. Edited from a convo with a friend.
(Obviously, spoilers!)
Me: Okay so to properly express my disappointment i gotta take you through the major beats
The show starts with three teens waking up in an almost empty room, finding out they all have amnesia. They quickly solve a puzzle to escape the room, and just as quickly Adam and Mira realize they have superpowers (superstrength/agility and some weird 'speak to animals/know all languages' hybrid, respectively. also she can breathe underwater and swim really fast. its kind of vague)
Kai is already clearly a comic relief, discount Ron (from HP, the movies, no idea about the books) so me and sister correctly predict he'll get jealous of adam and miras relationship (even if there is none), gets pissy and jealous that he has no powers, but then finds out he has powers anyway he does, hes a fire bender. cant say im not bitter about that cause id put my money on invulnerability but eh its alright he has red hair after all hes still fun
Friend: Of course he is
I just feel bad is all aldjs
Me: adam gets a throwaway line of 'maybe were dead' and kai never lets it go
this food might be poisoned but im starving and hey were dead anyway! right, adam
Friend: I love him??
Me: i loved him as soon as he spoke his first dumb words also he puns but basically hes the only interesting char; adam and mira are just cookie cutter 'male lead 1' and 'female lead 1' i mean, he’s cookie cutter ‘jealous 3rd wheel’ but that has more going on than the first two still servicable though
anyway so the jokes are sometimes fun, and superpowers are always my jam. but the REAL reason to keep watching is just, whats going on? ARE they dead? or in some kind of weird gvnmt experiment? some weird magical vampire guide (dont ask) hints they wanted this themselves ooh, intrigue. and the world is very very quirky they start in a gravity falls-y woods and then get teleported to a desert with minotaurs and witches, then get invited for tea by the Grim Reaper and the rest of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse
tbh Grim is the best part of the show but thats neither here nor there
anyway they have a magic map that updates once theyve been somewhere, and it shows them that the hot dry desert and the swampy wood bunker are like right next to each other
so you start thinking, how are they gonna explain that? this is too weird to be handwaved away. theyve gotta be going somewhere
they visit some other exotic locals, like what appears to be the set of Alien (complete with alien) and an abandoned old fair and a floating island with japanese inspired evildoers on it
the weird magic guide keeps showing up and being vague, dropping hints that there are other kids there etc
at some point Mira says "This is no time for games!" Weirdy: "Thats where youd be wrong~" me and sister: Aha! videogame! that connects all the dots, and also makes the tropes clear: small world with all kinds of different areas, quests, fights, superpowers, an updating map, fast travel Adam, a few eps later: guis i think we might be in a videogame me and sister: [high five]
Anyway in the meantime also the second predictable Kai (discount Ron) plot happens: they meet three other kids (boy boy girl) and they act shady but the girl takes an immediate and obvious interest in Kai so obviously theyre gonna manipulate him and have him betray his friends but in the end he'll see through their facade and kick their ass that more or less happens. The other teens also confirm that this is a game, and theyre trying to win. winning is done by bringing the MacGuffin to a tree fights over macguffin ensue situations are dire but our characters persevere
(also Mira kisses Adam and he acts very weird about it, almost as if hes gay and the only reason they didnt make it canon is censors) (no lingering gaze, just him going 'hehe yeah no thanks, its not you, its me', but in a very... he doesnt seem to be saying it with shall we say burning desire in his soul. hes literally just like 'eh youre a good friend.' Cool move, cartoon that made the two main boys have arguments over nothing cause of course the two main guys have constant dick measuring matches)
this all is not the offensive part btw it was all fun and games, its just a flash cartoon i wasnt expecting Shakespeare
anyway so theyre in a videogame, and apparently thats the answer to all the weirdness. A bit of a cop-out, cause thats a very easy answer, but eh, it works. it wasnt immediately obvious.
also something i hadnt mentioned yet: thisd be ideal for making (self-insert) OCs. Unique powers for each person, there are clearly more characters than shown, the world is your playground
and maybe the video game thing could be interesting on its own in the last few eps the game seems to be glitching out a lot they say its breaking apart so they really gotta hurry now maybe they were beta testers for a vr game gone wrong maybe this is part of it but its like a huge experience that you tell all your friends about anyway there are ways it could be cool, could be expanded to a season 2 despite having solved the mystery
but. last episode. our heroes get the MacGuffin, go to a final stage, and fight the Boss Battle (its a dragon). they enter the Castle....
...and the screen zooms out, into a sudden live action stage, where we see the cartoon (literally what you were just watching) on screen. there are 6 chairs, 3 with our heroes, 3 with the other teens, presumably. theres a host and hes dressed exactly like the weird guy (and that was already kind of a clashy outfit in the cartoon). it was all just a game show. but. the worst part is the live action
you. dont. go. from. animated. to. live. action.
other way around? fine, can work. But now? WHY itd still be dumb and dissapointing but if itd been animated too itd at least have been.... nice to look at but the acting.. oh god they didnt even say anything and it was all wrong clearly theyd just picked the first random teens that vaguely looked like the chars and put them in there cause they had no lines so who needs acting?!
the enemy teams girl had, in the cartoon, pink hair. Purple with pink highlights instead of stylizing that into something more realistic or painting the actual hair, they gave some 30-year old woman a wig and called it a day
keep in mind i binged this show in one go
purposely stayed up late to watch the last ep with my sis even tho we shouldve gone to bed and were disobeying our dad cause we Had to Know
and theres more i said they had no lines but i was lying. Kai did have a line. well, his voice actor did they dubbed him also the line was about him having to pee which is already not the most hilarious in animated version but a live action kid whose supposed to be this character you spent 3 hours with but looks nothing like him saying that in a voice that doesnt belong to his throat, as he stands bashfully in front of a live audience, the only words spoken by your main characters in the last moments...
*its actual hell*
oh oh one more thing at the end the six kids stand in a line and kai is next to other girl they glance at each other and as the eyes of this teen and 30 year old in wig cross, her eye glitches for a moment
dun dun duuun
bUT i dont care anymore, The Hollow. You overestimated your own premise. this wont be forgiven. your most interesting part was the mystery, and the answer  to that was "just a normal game show" (which also doesnt make sense on another level smh) soo if you think that im interested in what these two-dimensional (ha) characters will do now about the glitch in the eye of a bitch then i have news for u
i dont
...if they get a second season ill probably check it out though as long as its animated
Friend: Gammi I'm getting the real sinking suspicious feeling that what you saw isn't the real end but bad on purpose because there's more to it
Me: the show didnt seem good enough to be bad on purpose
and yet im still not done, if youll still hear me out
i mean, im an animation fan so ill still watch but if theyd wanted to be bad on purpose they really shouldve done a better job fleshing out the characters thats what people come back for that was a bit of a sidetrack BUT so i said why the live action itself was just terrible in overal quality
but the resolution that 'oh it was all in a game show' doesnt work on multiple levels
first of all, they show a short flashback of "About 5 hours earlier". The kids stand on the stage and are instructed to take their seats in the vr-chairs, and pick their superpower
2 things i dislike about that
1) there goes all the self-insert/oc potential. they werent teens in over their heads, they werent gvnmt experiments, or just some kids who wanted to play a game -they were in it to win it, from the start. thats very specific and not the most appealing to all kinds of characters (goodbye, all the 'im just an average girl whod never step into the spotlight like that' characters).
Also, all the expansion on lore is gone. maybe there were other games simultaneously? eh, maybe, but theyd be all gameshows. Maybe someone ended uo trapped there for way longer? nah its just a gameshow theyre not gonna let anything actually bad happen. Maybe there are other worlds, other areas, other weird creatures? unlikely, they finished the map and familiarity seemed to be a thing for the audience. Now every new idea has to be put not through a 'whats interesting for a player' but a 'whats interesting for a viewer' lens, and whats a selfinsert if not a player in another universe
2) HOW IS THIS A SUCCESSFUL GAME SHOW
who the hell watches a game show for 5 consecutive hours, some of which mustve been just them walking. also, we zoom out of the screen were watching, so implication is that everything up until then has been what the audience has seen. but... we only followed the one team. there were two? why didnt the audience want to see what they were up to? ~reality tv usually thrives on showinf the worst assholes so realistically they wouldve been the focus~
There are also way too many times *both* teams couldve failed, from early on till late in the game. Not a single game i can think of thats played for an audience is set up like that, and especially not a televised one (okay tbf idk if this was televised, i dont remember if i saw cameras, but. it mustve. monetary reasons.)
What r u gonna do if they all 'died' from the monsters in the first ep? Call it a day? boring for the audience. let them restart from scratch? boring for the audience. the existence of an audience messes with everything
AND THEN ANOTHER THING what do you mean, "5 hours ago?" you never get a time stamp to show how long theyve been in there but there are some cuts, when they travel and such. The actual show is a lil over 3 hours runtime. You mean to tell me you sat through 2 hours of the characters just walking?
okay last thing. so. they were clearly second season teasing with the glitching eye thing. i already said this but. theres nowhere to go from here that isnt worse that the first season. your mystery is dead. you clearly know your live action teens cant act so youd have to go back into the game - but why would they do that? how would that be in any way interesting? you explored all there was to explore.
The other, more out there option, is that as you said the 'real world' was a fake-out and theyre still in a game. but. how would- how would you even make that remotely convincing? if youd just left the 'real world' gameshow as animated too this wouldnt have been a problem. but there is absolutely no conceivable reason to justify, in universe, why another meta-level up is 2D animation again unless they were in a game, in a game, in a game. and thats just dumb. yall aint inception
Friend: HONESTLY if they just kept the whole deal animated it'd probably be okay. Not good, but better,
Me: ye me and my sister came to the same conclusion
i couldve lived with that. at least, i couldve just acknowledged the finales existence but chose to ignore it. now however im full phantom planet levels of denial. in fact i dont even know how the show ended anymore, suddenly
Friend: what finale? what show?
Me: also at least now we know why its called The Hollow
it leaves you feeling empty inside

STARTING OFF STRONG I SEE also sorry for lack of real formatting or images im fuckign tired thank you for bearing with me • Why I like themvery well fleshed out, flawed but still wildly entertaining and intriguing character. also its been said before but char clones arent nearly as interesting bc they try to be infallible, perfect chessmasters and original was such a dumpster fire?? hes way more interesting bc of that • Why I don’ti do love him flaws and all but holy shit he shouldve just talked it out and so many problems could have been averted • Favorite episode (scene if movie)forgot the exact number but the one where the argama crew has to meet haman and he loses it over how haman raised mineva and he’s so shook i was honestly surprised on first watch. ...also he gives us “I’ve never betrayed anyone” and i Actually had to pause i was laughing too fuckign much HES AN ACTUAL PIECE OF GARBAGE ITS GREAT • Favorite season/movieTHE ONE WHERE HE TRIES NOT TO BE A CHAR/zeta. he gives being a decent person a go without actually knowing how but points for trying ye • Favorite line“If I stop now, then everything I’ve done until now will be for nothing.” he knows he’s in the wrong but can’t bring himself to stop because of his pride. he’s so tragically, wonderfully human. • Favorite outfitaeug uniform!!!!! it’s terrible! But terribly good too!!! • OTPCHAR! AND! AMURO! • Brotphis interactions with kamille are the highlight of zeta for me. he makes an honest effort to help kamille along and thats more than can be said with all his other relationships, it’s honestly very sweet to me. • Head Canoni’d like to think that in the years between the first and second neozeon war, he tried being a decent guardian to mineva. • Unpopular opinionim not sure if this is really that unpopular but. full frontal is Not char. maybe he has a piece of char’s soul but he’s his own person, in the end. to say otherwise would be like saying ple, ple-2, and marida are all the same person. biologically maybe, but different people! • A wishsomeone please translate Char’s Daily Life • An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happenmsg remake/full origin anime actually happens and we get a new wave of fandom DISCOURSE please for the love of god No • 5 words to best describe themthe most intriguing dumpster fire • My nickname for themuhhhh DUMPSTER FIRE?? ACTUAL PIECE OF GARBAGE? TRASH HUSBAND???

ranting on TWD s9 again. :] ... other rants in #*twd or #*twd s9h
uh this is more about recent news, recent filming spoilers. Also FTWD deaths. -Carol, shows, pro-Rick. 
‘wait and see’ is hard. I guess I just want TWD AU to be good too and hoping/waiting is hard.
i guess i go rant till next year lol.
vvvv
Lately im just waiting for more info on Carol. I wanna know what Carol will be like in s9, TWD AU or the fumbling dead...BUT the filming spoilers tho...it’s like rubbing salt in my wounds about TWD’s potenial runied/AL leaving over and over.
It’s all just a bummer. I should not read into the filming spoilers that much. ..and omg avoid forum drama.
 Like I wanna see spoilers and I can’t help but hope for good Carol spoilers. Like getting spoilers about Caryl (and answers about C/E), Carol & Henry, and Carick/TF. :((( But then I get sad again and again. Idk what’s going on. I guess I assume there’s no good Carol spoilers and no Carick. :((((  Actually it’s just seeing any Rick spoilers is just sad. Also this whole Rick (and Maggie) dying/leaving the show thing is like dragged out rubbed in our wounds all till like when the ep airs their death/leaving. Like November or December.  Ugh. I just wanna get it over with it and to know what’s canon. Cry and move on. :\ So then we can make TWD AU fanarts..or do it now. ......I think it’s good to know what’s canon so then we don’t wonder and worry about avoiding it. It doesn’t mean to watch the show live but just reading it and know it and then just let it go and then make fanarts. xP
I was gonna not watch s9 anyways but dang just learning about s9 or what is canon ...is hard. sigh. but in time we will be alright. ...
------------------
TWD s9 speculations ~
so some filming spoilers coming out sounds like the gory comic death scene will happen. The heads on the pikes, killed by Alpha. They’re gonna film a zombie herd soon and whisperers may be part of that, I guess. i think of FTWD s4A and the deaths of Nick and Madison and how it seems like cheap deaths. I guess Rick and Maggie will go out like that... boring. not moving,imo. Doesn't impact the story or..............I’m just bitter. I just really want a good ending for Rick (thee main character). Like he saved his people and he dies and everyones lives without walkers as a threat and they’re safe in a community forever. 
  Travis’ death was meh (k it was really bad. wtf). ..I know I just won’t like whatever will happen with Rick and/or Maggie. For some reason, I feel like some characters got a good death scene for the overall story. Like Glenn, Sasha and Carl,imo. Their deaths were like they brought a new chapter to the story/show. Idk I liked Sophia and Merle’s deaths too. Anyways, their deaths changed the story. ..Or I guess they changed Rick characterwise in his story.  sigh.
Dang it’s like three weeks and AMC still didn’t confirm it or anything about AL leaving news. It makes me think AMC/writers wanted it to be a surprise that Rick dies/leaves the show (like how Nick and Madison died). ugh that’s even more lame. 
Dang it’s like AMC/showrunners? doesn’t let fans to trust them or get them excited at all for the story. It’s like some writers/AMC don’t care about the story’s core story and the fans.   So blah. I know some fans were disappointed that they were ‘spoiled’, but like that’s way to hard for me to handle that. I’m glad it was leaked and for me to know ahead of time...though the waiting and the dread sucks. 
UGH Skybound mailbag thing makes this hiatus worse by dragging the unknown..rubbing the salt..with their vague spoilers. And saying it in a troll way too. It’s cos we don’t know what’s up with Carol and writers made it that dumb way on not making it clear in their lackluster s8 finale (s8 finale shouldve been like s2 finale foreshadowing timeskip and next arc-Michonne/prison). I just wanna know if C/E happens or not, or Caryl be endgame, or will Carol ever have romance, will Carol interact with TF/Rick/Henry, in this TWD AU. geez. ...I want spoilers. I want confirmations and then leave the show-canon alone.
Carol speculations in s9.
- uh it seems like Carol is in Kingdom and just hanging out with Henry and Kingdomers in 9A. idk about Carick but we got a lit bit of something from filming spoilers, in 9x01. meh. :\ Some Caryl moments but how Skybound answered it, idk it depends on how I see it (on tumblr). As long as Caryl still be soulmate-y. Sigh I miss Carol or I miss what the show used to be and the potential. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AMC is having a bad year/June, huh? lol ..partly their fault, anyways. wtf TWD shows are like destroying itself and then now the Hardwick (TTD) news of him being an abuser. sigh. Damn we really got BTS drama. :\ With the shows losing their leads, is it part of the lawsuits and diverting away from Kirkman’s story or something? idk.
I just wanna say, poor FTWD fans who watched recently. Writers/Gimple/AMC? litterally just scraped off the original storyline of the Clarks family for to focus on newbies, Morgan. So it’s a spinoff show within the show. ( It’s like TWD in s9 will be doing...with changing to Daryl’s) Anyways that’s really awful to the FTWD fans to suddenly to change the storyline. That’s like ..probably something I would just quit the show ..It’s something to feel like I won’t the trust the writers. Gotta have trust in the writers and the writers gotta gain your trust.
---------------------------------------------------
I was thinking about fandom stuff..and reading some posts. i guess i let it slide that the TWD show was going downhill early on. idk when. most say s6 is when it got worse. i always say that TWD was not the best but it was just a fun drama ensemble show for me. Well thats what fandoms do..they want the very best of the show/media. Also fandom is all opinions...it’s best not to read into it too much.
s2 is my fave season...even when I didn’t feel the TF love like on other shows or when I got annoyed with Shane/love triangle. (why is everything relate to OUAT wank. I learned a lot from that show/fandom. maybe just being deep in the fandom. it hurts more.) Ok like s2 or other seasons compared to s6-8 is different.. Different style and stuff-writers/showrunners.., idk. There are some good moments. It’s also like based on the comics’ story. Most say s5 is the best is what comic fans say is loving the Hunters arc. (s3 and the prison arc-tho i dont like this season). So yeah ..kinda depends on the comics and it’s all show business. Kinda hard to compare or not idk, Kirkman’s comic story may be better because it’s original and flows better naturally. There’s more personal intimate moments with like 5 main characters but the show got other good parts too. (better medium story telling) idk. like the show has Carol and other plots went better, but lack TF moments and many dull characters. Also Kirkman isnt the best writer either so...idk what im saying. TWDG telltale game has the best storytelling. tho super depressing but also got realistic moments.
Just idk Oh well. I watched TWD for the main characters, Caryl, Carol. But lately things are not happening like I want or like it was in s5-6. There’s Less TF (like how the comics are..tho s9/after AOW was hopeful but AL and LC wanna leave.)Caryl and Carol/ TF interactions or Carol part of main plot haven’t happened since s6 and Idk if we come back to that. Like will Caryl’s relationship grow and does Carol and TF moment return-like will we have Carick moments? SIGH Waiting and hoping. It’s tiring. do whatever you want. I’m still a fan of Caryl, Carol/TF/Carick, Richonne.
Idk I’m just bummed and having a hard time with s9 and yet Rick and Maggie are leaving. Yeah ..I just wish I have an ending to just end it but I don’t have one. There’s no end...Idk it’s hard to make an ending to stop and to not hope or expect more. 
I want to not watch s9 yet I want/hope this TWD AU to end it right..blah. I guess till I get more info ..wait and see...
Whatever this rollercoaster ride continues and I probably rant again soon. :P

and so here are my feelings on the bullshit
season 5 was acceptable, i liked it.  but it was pretty dumb in some areas, namely the trade off of dad holt and worst best boy lo/tor  they even knew they were gonna be double crossed, but the scene had to happen because plot so whatever i guess.
also keiths mom came out of nowhere, a little rushed, but keith had to get some development in this season so there it was. also she dont look fully galra at all, which, GOOD.  part of the reason that galra keith thing was so dumb was because of how human keith looked.  and even lotor looks like a galra when half of him is altean.  so it’d be great it if mama kogane there was half human or something just...not altean...that’d be way too much 
whats sad is that everybody got their time to shine except hunk, he’s been getting snubbed a lot in favor of other characters and its really not fair. so hopefully now that pidge found all of her family she’ll take more of back seat so theres more time for hunk to do something again  god please let him do something again  hunk is simply the best, do. not. waste. him . okay so next gripe 
shiro doesnt make any sense, i mean i guess theres a half assed reason for it that’ll be SUCH A JUICY TWIST, but i digress. He isnt normal when the plot demands it, and snaps back to his old self when the plot demands it, its messy and way too obvious.  fuck everythings way to obvious now,  i know it was too easy for him to just go back to the others and have everything go back to normal, but a lot shit turns out to be way too easy in this show  like getting matt and papa holt back without really any consequence in return  but thats really more me nitpicking  anyway, hopefully shiro is still actually shiro, and not some stupid clone thing ive been hearing the fan base cook up as their next galra keith theory  BECAUSE I SWEAR TO GOD, THIS HAPPENING TWICE IS NO COINCIDENCE.
and yeah, zarkon better be legit dead, beause he shouldve died in season 2  i wont accept any bullshit plot twist returns  and as a side note, i suppose lotor being the one to off him was better in the end, so yeah, stay down zarkon. 
so the things i really liked in this season was lance gaining stakes in the plot, no complaints there.  i mean he was building on importance last season too but it was a lot more interesting this time around, so go lance. i liked the fleeting moments of fun in this season, even if it was a super unimportant sub plot  the main cast is really likable so there should moments where they just have fun  ie the fun bot  he will be missed  also “paladudes” is so fantastic im gonna start using it. 
okay so on to the man himself,  Lo/tor i really like him now, i have no doubts he’s a villain, but he’s a pretty smart one (whenthewritingcallsforit) im thinking he’s probably got some control over shiro(?) that or haggar does, but i really dont know what shes thinking at the moment, imm guessing shes just trying to protect her son from all the beefy garlan commanders that’d beat his relatively twinkish ass into the dirt.  he’s too threatening and smart for him not to be the bad guy, so im really hoping he pulls a betrayal on team volt/ron�� just for the tide of power to drastically shift when the time is right  it’d be  angsty as fukk come on  okay so one more thing  because im too lazy to really elaborate on my feelings so much  lo/tor and allura’s relationship took me off guard, i genuinely liked the development and it felt earned considering her hard feelings with keith in previous seasons. the take on the two of them this season was very interesting, and im just waiting for the heartbreak that’ll come from it 
oh sweet sweet angst.  so in other words, i ship it. whoopsie
