something about how max is the most imperfect hero not only in the overarching moral dilemma of do you stop bad things if it could lead to worse things but also little things like looking through dana's trash and or adding her name to the "was here" graffiti. even before the events of lis dropping chloe after the move. i feel like she is a perfect representation of how insecurity can make you selfish. she has to let go of that to be a better hero for arcadia.
#the final episode shows this progression#also i feel like people kinda view chloe as like “the bad friend” but honestly she didnt really do anything wrong#especially not compared to max#lis#max caulfield#i love all these characters#♡

Queen Miranda, Mistress of Evil
The story behind this is that when Halloween rolls around, on the third year of her being queen, Miranda decides that she really wants to dress up this year for Halloween, because she hasn't yet since coming to the palace. Back in the village she always used to dress up as a villain, but she was not sure if that was still acceptable now that she had become queen. Of course, as soon as she mentions this idea to her family, they told her that they thought it was a fantastic idea, and she should go for it! In fact, maybe she should even “take over the Kingdom” for Halloween (A.K.A. themed Halloween party where she's in charge)! So she made her own costume and the rest is history.
Wormwood can't talk yet at this point in time, but everyone could tell that he wanted to be her evil sidekick for Halloween, so he's acting as Diablo to her Maleficent. (Even though he knew this whole thing was fake, Wormwood still very much enjoyed this because Maleficent is his favorite villain of all time and Miranda is surprisingly good at acting in character).
#Queen Miranda#Wormwood#Maleficent#Sofia the First#sofia the fandom#stf#my art#a-lilacsong art#digital art#Halloween#2024-10-31#My artist intention is that this is set before the day of the sorcerers because I love dramatic irony#And I feel like episode wise if this happened in Canon it would sort of show Wormwood's character progression#By foreshadowing that he is not completely satisfied with Cedric’s evil plans and that he thinks evil sorceresses are really cool#but you can also personally interpret this as being after the finale when Wormwood is good again but also likes to play pretend being evil

Okay so I have one episode of the newsreader left to watch and Dale is breaking my heart
#i knew he was gonna be pretty dead inside by the end of the season because i had seen gifs and stuff#but i assumed that it would be a slow progression throughout the whole season#what I was not expecting was for him to get more and more depressed in the first few episodes#and then for one(1) thing to happen and for that to just be his final straw that causes him to shatter#holy shit that was so sad to watch#he’s broken#like that really fucking broke him#he’s so dead inside#he feels like an entirely empty shell and it’s devastating to watch#i can’t even be mad at helen because she’s got her own shit she’s going through#and also i understand her#its all just so sad#idk if i can survive watching another episode#or season 3 when that comes out#god i was not emotionally prepared to care about this show as much as i do#the newsreader#dale jennings#sam reid#helen norville#anna torv#kate's post

2023 in review! I made an effort to try more things and it worked mostly (at least for TV and movies). New things, new-to-me things, and new installments of old things all had characters to love even if I didn't necessarily feel fannish about them, and I'm hoping 2024 does, too.
#but yeah no I had a lot of fun with some of these#mp100 is now fully going down as one of my favorite works of art ever. i mean it. i'd stick it on a shelf with discworld.#trying Nida Manzoor's work was SO GOOD like if edgar wright knew how to make girls lovable I meant to only try one episode of WALP#and then I marathonned it all in one night right into the sunrise and I do not regret it#(look I love edgar wright but)#i had my issues with GO2 and Fionna & Cake and HxH (which I finally tried yes I am late) but still they had babies in them#one piece and the last of us did like major progress for proving those mediums *could* be adapted and not suck so seriously kudos#I didn't go into Barbie expecting it to Solve Capitalism and The Patriarchy so I appreciate what it did do#Nimona was just gorgeous#Across the spider-verse is so good it's hard to say anything about it#Peacemaker is obnoxiously good and Chris's breakdown near the end really got me#Bottoms & Marry My Dead Body & Ying-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity are just fun okay don't think about it#the strange planet show was sweet and peaceful to watch#and even with a 40% budget cut OFMD has my heart and ed is The babygirl of all time for me#thanks for reading these tags if you did and I hope you have a good new year#art i'm proud of

rewatching bbc merlin really has me like buzzing in my mind with so many thoughts. Like I'm kinda watching it backwards atm going from S5 to S4, I think I will jump around 3, 2, and 1 but just,,,, there is so much especially in S5 that makes me !!!!!!!
Honestly, I feel like this fandom has to give the writers more credit. Like they did a damn good job, and to me, it's such a good tragedy. Especially how S5 plays out, it takes everything and just tears you down, and down, and down. It's perfect, perfect with flaws! But still perfect
#bbc merlin#merlin#yeah idk on that note about the writers - this fandom is way too harsh#like i know we all have ideas on how it should have gone#but i think we lose how it's still a story that they planned from the start to end like that#they did their job they set up from the beginning and it is good as a tragedy imo as someone who has studied tragedies#hot take but the characterisations are consistent - i mean like as consistent as they get for a 5 series show#they did better than most and i dont feel like any characters get like their previous characterisation assassinated#that includes Arthur and Morgana btw they clearly have arcs that work well and where Arthur's is a slower progression - Morgana's is like a#lit match - slow at first but when it gets going it's going and then gone - it's wonderful#i mean look at s5 it literally starts by talking about Arthur's bane aka his fatal flaw aka his hamartia#which is himself and i dont think it's as much as the overdone hubris but rather Arthur's love and trust for others - but that like in many#tragedies can be debated#okay something else that can be debated is the peripeteia - i think a good example of it is the Disir episode because that's when Arthur's#fate becomes sealed anything after that point is fruitless because the Triple Goddess has decided he must die because of his rejection of#the Old Religion - it's a reversal of fortune in a sense that Mordred is alive to play his part in Arthur's death - as Merlin puts it. You#could see it more as Merlin's peripeteia rather than Arthur's but still#if we wanna debate it more Arthur's peripeteia would probablyyyy be when Mordred stabs him because that's when his death becomes imminent#it's a reversal of fortune because he's dying from that point forward rather than a strong king he is a man dying#the anagnorisis is another point to make. You could say for Arthur his anagnorisis is all of the finale - like this constant realisation of#Merlin and his magic and realising all that he missed all that he didnt see and now it's too late because he's dying#I'd say Merlin's anagnorisis comes with the whole Mordred and Kara ordeal and how he realises his mistake and how it's gonna cause the#downfall of not just himself but Arthur too#then catharsis - see i think it's the only part where the tragedy falters because do we get catharsis from Arthur's death and Merlin's#immortality - where he's still at the lake centuries later?#i think in some ways yes and in other ways no because I don't think BBC Merlin is following an Aristotle's tragedy#i think catharsis comes more from Morgana's half of the tragedy - seeing her die - and i think further catharsis comes from knowing it's no#over forever that there will be a second chance for redemption for both Merlin and Arthur#but it is a more difficult one for sure#anyway point is that S5 specifically has a tragedy storyline that is very well done and we should credit that more tbh

Now why would my dad, this cishet construction worker pushing 60 who spend his life watching only action movies and the occasional comedy movie, suddenly got VERY into mostly romantic K-dramas ??
#the sudden shift in his interest in media is so funny to witness#I've watched a bunch with him. so far:#the one where the main guy is italian. vicenzo? it was hilarious but why did they spend an entire ep dedidacted to homophobia#sweet home. first season excellent the other two. well. no comments#ummm what else. my fav ones were extraordinary attorney woo the writing was soso good and accurate rep of autistic ppl#according to what I've read from autistic people who watched it#also the glory!!!! that one was also crazy good i loved how her revenge was never framed as a bad thing#OH and another one i loved was the kingdom. the final episodes all being a long zombie fighting sequence and the prince and his people being#progressively caked with blood. poetic cinema etc etc#uhh i also watched a short romance one with him I can't recall very well. kind of mystical? about a sorcerer that had like. a shop or smth#two more period pieces: mr queen which was also excellent!! it surprised me bc i thought it'd be comedy only? the genuine gayness of it all!#and v well written as well! a modern guy who was a misogynist echanges bodies with a queen of the past and he not only learns to what's like#to be a woman but also realizes he's bi as he falls for the king? and cries when he goes back to the future bc they broke apart??#who did it like them!!! mr queen tv show your gay subtext was too strong they had to kill you!!!#I'm currently watching the king's affection which is also like pretty gay? we'll see#anyways back to my dad i was like oh (abt the king's affection) this is a period piece right? looks interesting and he was like actually#*puffes chest* it's set in the joseon era 😌 he was SO proud of correcting me sjsjsjd#nacido para ser kpoper condenado a ser un hombre cishet maquinista de grua de casi 60#woa this post got. long lmao#z

Justice is weak and empty.
One cannot win against villains with justice alone.
If merciless justice exists, I'm willing to yield to it.
Even villains long to live in a peaceful world.
However, since that's impossible, I've taken up a new hobby.
Getting rid of garbage.
If I don't do that, people will die, buried underneath the garbage.
There's one last thing I'd like to say from a villain's perspective.
Evil is prevalent and vehement.
- Vincenzo Cassano (Episode 20)
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW.
If it hasn't been apparent enough, I adore this show. From the first episode to the last, everything works for me. The casting. The cinematography. The dialogues. The ost. Every single thing hits right. It includes almost all of the tropes I like. The humour is just right for me. And same goes for the dark scenes. I cannot coherently explain how much I love this show. And I've watched plenty of dramas but this will probably remain the best drama I've ever watched. I also love the parallels the show draws. And I also love that it didn't end the usual way and left Vin to be the amazing villain he is and HCY to be the badass lawyer she is. Hands down, the best drama I've ever watched.
AHHHHHH.
Vincenzo (2021) Part Four
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
#i would also like to make an honorary mention of the prison scene where sjk talks about his origin and gatto sazio#it was a brilliant brilliant scene and the best in my opinion#it is also hilarious to me that almost half the episodes ended with imminent danger or tragedy to vin and hcy#and it increased progressively more in the last half of the season#fighting for their lives day in and day out our chayenzo#i love this show so much#i'm also grateful that they gave us some lighter moments like hiding the gold bringing the quirky hcy back in between the darker moments#in the final episode#this show is going to consume my life for years to come and is going to be my go to show whenever i need a breather#i had stopped watching kdramas for two years and this fucking show dropped me right back into it#and my god sjk is a gem#and so is jyb#and the whole cast#ahhhhh this show makes me so happy#episode endings#vincenzo#song joong ki#vincenzo cassano#jeon yeo been#ok taecyeon#hong cha young#tvn vincenzo#chayenzo

sorry i thought about what they did to roy kent in season three of ted lasso and now i have to lie down for a week
#beebles#ted lasso#roy kent#take this as positive or negative im not your mom#but. my god#what if in the final season of our show we took one of the most beloved characters and we took all the development we'd given him over#three seasons and we fucked it and we didnt make it better#even though we keep reminding you every two episodes that he's critically insecure and he's incredibly guilt ridden and he's been doing#everything in his power to be better#backsliding is fine. i love a good backslide. bitches should be backsliding more often#but to put him on that path in the final season of your series and then not resolve it#like. one of the last things we see him do that isnt like. debatably a dream sequence.#is beat the fuck out of his friend who hes spent two seasons making and then demean the fuck out of his exgirlfriend who he wanted to marry#in the Last Episode.#of the whole show.#again i love a good backslide but what in god's name was THAAAAT!!!!!#we know roy's a violent guy we know he struggles with emotional intelligence we've seen all this happen#but to fuck up all the progress he's made and then not resolve it in any way by the time the show ended. ugh#truly feels like they spat in roy's face by the end of the show#like roy's trying to be better for keeley and he ends up being better for himself and then he ends up fucking everything up. Again.#at the very end of the show. what was the reason.#he's fighting with himself for the whole season and then its over. embarrassing really#he's got bright shining moments where that development does shine through but most of it is just painful to watch.#silly. silly shit.

tired of seeing posts about ofmd 2 being "off" or whatever cause maybe you're right maybe i'm crazy but my brain doesn't wanna hear it i won't accept that the entire show is less than 110% perfect in every way conceivable
#i feel like some fans are making it out to be worse than it is?#obviously unless the finale is longer#like 50 minutes or so#it's going to be rushed#but i won't factor that in because that's not fair to the crew at all#like not their fault they didn't get a deserved number of episodes#i think izzy deserved to be enjoyable this season i really do#and some people seem to be upset about that because it happened too quickly#but with shows like this there has always been a good chance that they either won't get the resources needed for season 3#or won't get a season 3 at all#every arc NEEDED to progress this fast because they don't have the privilege of taking their time#the dialogue the costuming the set it's all fucking beautiful !!!!#i don't understand the gripes with the plot i really don't#i've always found it easy to critique other media that i love more than anything#but here i'm not feeling like i need to critique the show at all#our flag means death

honestly if i want to be realistic about my shows its probably in my best interests to assume theres at least 30% less thought put into it than i think there is
#sometimes things arent that deep...sad#still confused abt bison metronoming from pretty sharp to kinda dumb each episode#in my live notes i said smth like. hes very observant about the things he sees but unfortunately he does not see a lot of things#nof's nonsense#thaiql#thk#conflicted about this episode bc i loved a lot of parts but the progression + characterization feels sort of inconsistent to me. shrug#like i feel like i didnt really see kant fall for bison. i saw him feeling guilty and maybe getting a lil attached but#its like suddenly hes head over heels#idk just nitpicks. if i were making it id make different choices but im not so i will just critique to myself for fun#edit: okay i have more thoughts about that now. i think the reason were seeing kant act like this now is bc hes finally letting it show#like even if these feelings developed before he stomped them down so much that even we couldnt see much of it#but now he cant control it anymore#ugough

i don't want spook the nervous filly that is Maybe This Show Wont Suck by saying anything but after being extremely unimpressed with season two (THE CREEPY OLD MAN CHAINED TO THE WALL WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO TELL YOU ANSWERS ABOUT WHO PUT HIM THERE BOYD WHY DID YOU SHUSH HIM??????? and then tell no one about it for half the season UGH lack of communication that is of obvious mutual benefit in order to keep characters pointlessly confused/at odds with each other is such a lazy writing pet peeve of mine) I think From is really getting back on track this season. An interesting horror-mystery premise with effective creepy-ass monsters that we're seeing a fascinating escalation of this season. Now just don't drop the ball!!! 🤞🤞
#i like how the lesbian couple have had entirely independent storylines this season. small but very good production detail#oh god the way boyd kept repeating 'i know i know' to [BELOVED CHARACTER] and then repeating their last words... an amazing performance by#harold perrineau 👏😭 when his writing isnt inconsistent he's my favorite character#i feel like we're finally making progress on the mystery of it all for the first time since season 1 which is another point that bugged me#about last season. dont spoon feed us answers but ya gotta balance the give & take (which considering that many people from Lost are involv#involved w this show it uh doesnt surprise me that they sometimes miss that particular mark lmao)#and last season nothing really happened. the radio thing was a waste of time. the monsters just became more confusing vs gaining any#new useful information. just 'ooo new people' which wasnt enough to scratch any itches for me#so much of it is coming back to victor & his mother... i shant speak my theories but i think the key is closer to home than the#otherworldlyness of the town reflects. idk i guess we'll (hopefully bc ya never know in this tv climate) see!#anyway now that ive sung a bit of praise for this season the great cosmic coincidence will ensure that the final episodes are ass lol#dani talks about tv

That's what my sister and I have been saying since we were teen. Batman should be a show where seasons are long (not the 8 or 13 episodes we have no) and at each one, a new Robin is introduced. This side of Bruce's story is not told on TV, and it's a shame + it would change it
DC must not want money because if they did, they would have made a Batman & Robin movie or show centered on Bruce getting Dick. Currently, people are all about "disgruntled man suddenly has a child he is not blood related too and becomes a father", if DC just use the recipe with Bruce and Dick, people would eat that shit up. Especially because Batman's story is about hope, and what better way to deliver that than by giving him a kid?! Especially as it is the goal of the recipe, to give hope to the disgruntled man! Instead of trying again and again to sell Batman had this "misery 4ever" story (which it is not supposed to be) to please the edgelords.
I don't know wtf DC is doing, don't they have people analysing the market??? How can they miss that???
#more the season with Tim progress the more batkids Bruce has it would be insane#Steph comes then Cass and Jason comes back and look at that you had a son with Talia!#episode 1: depression because baby gone | final episode: THAT'S ENOUGH BABIES#if we balance the silliness and the seriousness right we can attract more people#like it cannot be too WFA but it shouldn't be too much like the comics#“why tf am I studying to be paid minimum wages when dc could hire me” kind of moments#batman#batfam#bruce wayne#dc comics#my ramblings#btw nothing against you but actually shows used to have more seasons for no reasons and today most shows are canceled after 24 episodes

Guys listen up I have a banger concept:
TV show (called "The Hiatus" or something like that), set in the late 19th century. It starts with us meeting the Mysterious Enigmatic MC, who's traveling through Europe, obviously on the run from someone or something. Every episode starts with him arriving in a new town under a brand new alias in hopes to quietly spend a couple of nights there, but then he accidentally encounters some random person (usually a child or a woman who's been wronged somehow) in a difficult situation and can't help but help them. He doesn't actually want to even briefly speak to anyone, he's all Mysterious and Enigmatic and secretive and EcCeNtRiC and On The Run and very obviously in huge distress but somehow he just always can't leave a situation as it is (and also visibly very curious to resolve it). The people he helped are usually amazed by how clever and observant and also Mysterious and Enigmatic he is and want to get to know him better, but after helping them he always has to leave the town even earlier and more hastily than he planned to.
As the show progresses we gradually learn more of his backstory, including that there's this Certain Person that our Mysterious Enigmatic MC had to leave and now misses dearly and can't contact, (and the more time passes, the harder it gets for him to stop himself from writing to him).
Only about halfway through the show, after N episodes and some amount of increasingly obvious hints it's finally officially revealed that our Mysterious Enigmatic MC is post-Reichenbach Sherlock Holmes.
The very last episode is, obviously, The Empty House.
