#the gifted graduation ep13

[kalmeria]

i'm weird about endings so i've been struggling to bring myself to watch the last episode of tgg... but i feel like it's now or never, so here is, for the last time, my not quite liveblogging of the gifted graduation. it's episode 13.

when i thought supot sent pang after ohm i almost forgot to breathe

(i feel like grace will be okay but i'm not a big fan of this alternative either)

whyyy the short version of the intro? wanted to see it one last time...

i'm so happy it's ohm doing this

i was momentarily happy when supot was like "you wouldn't dare" and they went "actually we would". that bit was great

grace is so cool!!! and the music!

the shocked expressions on there faces! pom's chin on the ground, wave squinting at his monitor, their reactions to grace ex machina are so funny

!!!! all those people knew!! the scientists working for supot weren't actually doing what they were told to do!! how wonderful! and he had no idea!!! remember when i said i wanted his arrogance to be his downfall? this is great. bc it's like. one man who wants to do horrible things and he has the power but actually he is overconfident and all those nameless ordinary people working for him just. all decide to not tell him he is mistaken and his plans have been sabotaged. truly wonderful.

boycotting the exam is a pretty good plan imo

the way you could see supot breaking

god pom looks so tired.. i like how this is what we see first after their victory, just how exhausting it had been for all of them (and it's not like it's all over, is it? the world is changing and there are things to be done)

all that talk about the last day of school is making me emotional

i'm sorry but. the chalkboard just has the hearing range of some animals written on it that's so funny

claire rolled her eyes when chanon suggested a revolution why do i find this funny

i like how they still don't all agree on everything. the whole season was about the importance of working together but not once did they say it was simple

not sure how to feel about chanon being framed as the irrational one though

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!grace saying that actually it took decades for her potential to develop and for her to master it!!!!!!!! and that supot's idea that they all have to figure out and reach their limits in high school is bullshit!!!!!! i love this series

so grace is a time traveller trying to derail the dystopic future she's living in from becoming true. i am so here for this.

"do you know that you will become a much nicer guy?" lmaoo (as i've been saying. there's something fundamentally wrong with him (affectionate))

oh i love a hard choice. a problem that has no perfect solutions. a question with no good answer.

almost choked on my tea at the "make everyone the gifted" part. wow. okay. this is big.

this is fucking huge what??!!!? all along. all along it was a lie.

"director supot used to say that superior people try harder than others. in reality, who is superior depends on whether the rule is written in their favor." hello???? this series just keeps on giving. wow.

and of fucking course supot is a hypocrite!!

"i don't want anyone controlling my life, not even you." said to her own future self!!!!!!!! i love this!!!!!

omg namtaan!!!!!

oh. namtaan would have been too op for this story so they had to have her out of the picture. but then they gave the in universe explanation that the bad guy knew this and it was him who sent her away. that's pretty smart and a little bit meta, i like it.

"don't be so disappointed in yourself. don't forget we are just high school students." this is nice :) i like this

when that ending song melody started playing in the background..

once again getting chills from pang's message

the cut to the egg story was a bit abrupt lol

ah but this was so good!!

honestly, i really like this series. it's exciting, it's fun, it might make you cry a few times, and at the end of the day, it's a hopeful story made for teenagers, but not just for teenagers. i think it's for anyone trying to find who they are and who they want to be, regardless of age (see: grace's potential taking decades to fully work). and it's about changing the world, but also says that you might not be able to just. change the whole world. but that's okay. (see: "we are just high school students" and the thing about time)

there's realy just one major problem i had with the series. or rather, it's kind of a small thing but something i really don't like: it's punn's "evil" alter. i don't have the knowledge or experience to talk about this in detail, and it's not like many people will read this, but it's my understanding that the series relied on harmful stereotypes about DID as a plot device and then didn't even bother to really talk about it. punn's other alters were only ever mentioned in his focus episode, and then this season he was the only person who willingly betrayed the group, an act that was shown to be closely related to how his potential works. so yeah, i didn't like that.

that aside though, i don't regret the time and emotional investment i gave to this series.

OKAY OKAY OKAY OH MY GOD!!!!!! EP12????? MORE LIKE EPISODE PAIN WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!! this was the episode that made me break i actually teared up oh my god yall. okay first of all wave having a camera on pang’s room...... honey i think that’s a crime,,, but yknow what? at least it helped yall at the end so whatever. all of their scenes are basically “you’re so fucking stupid i hate you but also i will help you take down our director because he’s an evil bastard but after that i will continue to hate you like i used to” and i love that (although i would love it more if the fucking fujoshis didn’t comment about these two all the time instead of what’s happening in the drama but we can’t have everything can we),, okay the whole searching for pins exam was so much fun because we finally see more of the twins and how punn and claire’s relationship works (they’re both lowkey evil and i LOVE it), we also see more of ohm and namtaan being like “look i know pang doesn’t want to tell us whatever he’s doing but he’s associating with wave and that’s just Something That Normal Pang Wouldn’t Do and i’m worried about him” which was sweet but also if i was on their place i would just be so unbothered by that like “ok you’re talking with wave now and it’s secret so i’m guessing u’ll tell me when it’s time soooo bye good luck on ur exam” and that’s why i could never be on a drama JKHFJGKFL to something more serious,, what the director put pom through with those experiments was so fucked up oh my god i won’t mention what he did because it makes me sick but the fact that pom then ratted chanon out because it would affect his future and after that erased all of his memories to forget everything including what he did to chanon...... pom is a fucked up bitch but you better believe i cried when pom cried after hearing what chanon had done for him...... his “non, i’m sorry” broke my mf heart yall........... like i hate him but i wanted to hug him at that moment because holy fuck they don’t even tell us what happened with chanon?????? none of his gifted classmates except pom remember him/have heard from him (i don’t remember which one it was) in a loooong while?????? so what happened to chanon?????? just memory erasure or more???????? because the (maybe first and) last time pom had tried to erase human memories he fucked up their brains to the point of no return....... god now i’m wondering because where is he???? where is my good boy?????? oh god oh god oh gODDDDDDD. aLSO. THAT LAST SCENE????????????? WHAT THE FUCK LADDA I TRUSTED YOU FOR ONE FUCKING SECOND AND YOU DO WHAT????????????? TURN OHM INTO A NORMAL PERSON??????????????????? WITHOUT ASKING HIM?????????????????? WHAT THE FUCK. I’M SO SURE SHE HAS OR HAD A POTENTIAL YALL BECAUSE HOW DOES SHE KNOW THERE’S A WAY TO GET RID OF IT???????????????? WTF??????????????? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I SCREAMED SO LOUD AT MY SCREEN I HATE HER ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS NO ADULT IS TO BE TRUSTED IN THIS DRAMA OR EVER. i am still 17 so when my birthday comes around i will just not <3 if i didn’t born. i don’t born bc i did. no i didn’t <3 but yeah fuck ladda and fuck he director and i very much sympathise with the guy who was unphased with the director’s whole existence like yes i also don’t trust him you’re not alone man @ man who looks like he has a foot on the grave <3 okay i used way too many hearts at once but i’m scared of what will happen in the next (and last ;;) episode because when will the gifted graduation be airing????? idk i haven’t watched the trailer so i’m just,, picking up little clues of what i have seen on the twt tl and on here (i saw like 1 gif and i covered my screen while scrolling lmao) so i’m.. excited to see where it goes after the last episode,, okay i think this is long enough so see yall tomorrow for ep13!!!!!!! i’m so excited!!!!!!!!!! bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
