#the same shit he did with nate💀

[itsmistyeyedbi]

I've seen a handful of posts about the different ways an a/n/detective romance could go down, and would like to throw my hat in the ring (with Zuri of course).

It seems like I'm sharing some braincells with people lol, because this post by @fauville and especially this post by @sewellsheart (I hope you guys don't mind me tagging you, if you do just let me know and I'll remove it) are both pretty close (or exactly spot on) to the thoughts I had earlier this week. It's also sorta kinda includes @wayhavenots headcanon of N being demiromantic.

(Also tagging @serenpedac because you mentioned that you'd like me to when I got around to posting this)

When I answered this ask with questions from the lovey dovey oc development prompts list, I mentioned that although Zuri finds aspects of each member of Unit Bravo attractive when she first meets them, Nate is who catches her eye the most. He's the closest to her type - Zuri flirts with him in book 1 regardless of the route she's in lol.

Considering the vampire senses, and the fact that sometimes Zuri wasn't being all that subtle lol, he knows this. And he flirts back too; there's some aesthetic attraction there (maybe I'm biased, but methinks Zuri is very nice to look at lol), but before much/any sexual attraction can come in Zuri’s attention pivots to Adam. I've mentioned before that she is drawn to emotionally unavailable people - but especially when they let a feeling or two slip, when she gets to see the asshole be more than an asshole lol. And Adam doesn't seem to be as indifferent to her as he was before. Quite the opposite actually.

It's no skin off Nate's back. As nice as it was, there wasn't any romantic feelings there, and it would probably be wise to not pursue something with her. Zuri is his handler's daughter, and having any potential relationship they have end the way his previous relationships did could have complicated his relationship with both of them. Besides, they aren't staying in Wayhaven for long anyway (ha!).

So it's no skin off his back. Really. Truly. Except watching Adam's growing interest in her makes envy rear it's ugly head. It's a familiar sight, one that has been directed at him throughout the 300 years of him knowing Adam. As he became his friend and his confidant, as trust and loyalty grew between them - little, stolen moments dotted the fabric of their friendship. For the first time in more years than he could reasonably keep count of, the desire for the romance he read in books and poetry blossomed into a love for Adam. To have him, body and heart and soul - and to give his own to him. From the moment he realised those feelings, he wanted to throw himself headfirst into love, into a relationship, with the man who knew and accepted every part of him.

But Adam couldn't bring himself to do the same. It was too risky, too dangerous. It would create a weakness in him that would lead to Nate's destruction. And Nate - kind, gentle, beautiful, Nate - doesn't deserve that. And Adam doesn't deserve him. So their feelings are restricted to those stolen moments, to the brief meeting of their eyes, to lingering touches. And if they trip and stumble and fall into each other's arms in the dead of night, they will return to the status-quo by morning. With there being a little more distance, a little more hurt in Nate's eyes and guilt in Adam's heart until the pain subsides. Until they fall again. They've been falling for centuries.

As much as it hurts, Nate won't push him. He understands his reservations and his concerns, how much the life he left behind still haunts him. His own haunts him as well, of course he understands. Even though he longs for the ghosts of their past to no longer hold them back.

And that interest in Zuri...it means something. But Nate finds a little bit of selfish comfort in the fact that they will continue on with their lives when the mission is complete. They will go on, with Zuri having breathed new life into his team, his family, with her acceptance and excitement, her brightness and her resilience - with her humanity.

Except... they are staying in Wayhaven. They have a home there, and Zuri will be working with them as a human liaison. He's delighted! Wayhaven is a small, charming town full of good people who should be protected. Meeting and getting to know Zuri has been wonderful and friendly, and he's looking forward to learning more about her. But that means she and Adam can continue to develop a relationship, and he has to watch as she slowly slips past his defences.

As painful as it is to watch him fall in love with another, he ultimately wants to see Adam happy, and perhaps Zuri is the person who he will find that with. She is lovely, after all. She was determined to help the people of her home when the maalused arrived and made people ill, human and supernatural alike. She was quick to protect Adam from being infected as well. She was curious, always eager to learn more about the world she'd been thrust into. She was charming and cheeky and kind, subtly coming to his defence with a smile and a wink when she met Unit Alpha while remaining friendly and gaining their favour (this is from the dialogue option where the detective can go: "just so you know, I like museums too." the smiling and winking there is Zuri specific, so not in the actual text).

They slowly grew closer, toeing the line of crossing into the deep, dark waters of their past. And the closer they become, the more it stings to see watch the tentative hope build up inside her. To then see the flash of pain in Zuri’s eyes when Adam pulls away, the guilt in his eyes when she stitches on a smile, the resignation in both of them that Nate knows all too well. She eventually starts turning to him for comfort, whether it's in the form of a distraction or advice. When she does, she's nervous and can barely meet his eye, hugging herself tight as though to keep herself from falling apart. Being vulnerable like this with someone is the last thing Zuri wants to do, but everything is eating away at her, and she just needs... something. Someone. Some way to come up for air.

The reasons are more complicated than Nate initially thought. It turns out that Zuri is just as conflicted about their connection as Adam is, with her keeping him at arms length as well as his interest evolved into longing. Into something she she can just barely recognise, something that scares her. Something she doesn't think she deserves. It gets easier to talk to Nate, just a little. Just enough for him to feel like a soft place to land, safe and warm as he allows her to curl into his side - although she catches the gleam of envy or jealousy or both.

Nate is doing his best to conceal it, but he can't help how he feels. The thing is... he isn't quite sure where it's coming from anymore, and a rare but familiar feeling stirs in his chest. And Zuri looks so comfortable buried against his side, hiding away from the world while allowing him to see the parts of her that are sharp as shards of glass, beautiful when they catch the light. And when he manages to make her smile, to make her laugh, his heart skips a beat and all he wants to do is drink in the sight of her in all her beauty...

Then he thinks of Adam, and all the times he melted at his dimpled smile and soft gaze, the times he got drunk on the sight of him standing by his side, laying underneath him...

Oh. Oh no.

Eventually, Nate does speak to Adam. I'm not entirely confident in my thoughts on how this would go down, but I don't think he would pretend that his feelings weren't there or hurt. I think Nate would tell him that his feelings for him haven't changed, but he ultimately wants him to be happy and that he might find that happiness with Zuri (there might be a little bit of awkwardness here considering his developing feelings for her). But he'd also let him know that what he's doing is only hurting her; she may not be completely innocent here, Nate knows that Adam is hurting as well and Zuri can be just as wishy washy, but all of this should let him know that pushing away the people who care about him achieves nothing. It only cause pain all around, and Adam needs to decide on whether that is or isn't something he's willing to keep doing.

This is where the the poly can come in (finally, I know). There's two possible routes for this.

1. Nate and Zuri develop feelings for each other, but remain friends while her relationship with Adam progresses and they eventually get together. Adam ends up having a general idea of their feelings for each other, based on their physical reactions more than anything. So, after a long, long, long while, Zuri and Adam talk about Nate and their not so previous feelings for him (I can see Adam talking about Nate also having feelings for Zuri like it's the most obvious thing in the world, while she's in complete disbelief lmao). They'd have a long talk about what that could mean for them, and once they determine that they still want to stay together, Zuri proposes that they talk to Nate about him possibly joining them.

I can't imagine what that would be like for Nate. Maybe it would be a little confusing. Maybe it would feel unreal that two of the people he cares for the most, the people he is in love with, love him as well. And after what could be years of him watching them together, on the outside looking in, wondering if he'd ever be able to share in their love, or if the bittersweet feelings in his chest would be his burden to carry for eternity - something he was willing to do if it meant they both got to be happy.

It would probably take a while for Nate to get comfortable, he's already not so secure in relationships. And Adam, despite him knowing Nate and their history together, would probably have to adjust to accepting his feelings for him after repressing them for so long. That he doesn't have to hide them anymore. Zuri would definitely have to take the lead here, even though she'd be just as nervous. Two amazing people being in love with her? The thought of driving them away would be in the forefront of her mind sometimes.

2. Nate and Zuri develop feelings for each other, and he tells her about his feelings for Adam. She'd be a little surprised at first before having an "Oh, so that's why xyz etc" moment lol. She'd be really curious about his feelings and if they were ever returned, considering their centuries long friendship. Nate would be surprised by how well Zuri takes it, and they highkey end up bonding over the mess that is their feelings for Adam and their love lives in general (this may be when Zuri picks up on him possibly being demiromantic). They keep getting closer and closer, with Nate being more vulnerable with her as well. Both of them would kinda enjoy how freeing it is to speak with someone about all of it (they might even be able to awkwardly admit how envious they were of the other lol). But their feelings do continue to grow in the process, and the tension builds - and when their longing for Adam is particularly difficult to bear, they seek each other out and end up finding comfort in a completely different way.

It wouldn't be completely out of place considering N's past of seeking out connection and occasionally doing it through sex. Zuri would for sure do something like this, which I think is a little obvious from this post I made a while back - but she has done the whole 'hook up to forget' thing before.

Except this time, it's different. It's not just them seeking out connection or trying to forget their reality, it's also them wanting to lose themselves in each other - the person who understands them, that they've been able to be vulnerable with in a way they couldn't be with anyone else. Someone who they're (mostly) on the same page with, someone they care for deeply, someone they can share this desperate, heartwrenching, deep-seated longing with in the most passionate and carnal and unrestrained way possible. Until they can't think. Until they can't speak. Until the feel of each other's skin is all that exists.

This second one would obviously be a lot more complicated than the first, especially if/when Adam finds out. My head is empty when it comes to how they'd progress from here, unless we really went with the 'stuck in the safe house' option lol.

I delve into how Zuri would get involved in a polyamorous relationship in this ask that I think contextualises her perspective a little more.

But, yeah! Those are most of my thoughts!

[catras-breakup-song]

i found a long (i'm talking nearly an hour) video essay on youtube about how "mattel prefers the classic she-ra and netflix fans are TRIGGERED LIBERALS" and another one (about 20 minutes) that talks about how haters of the 2018 reboot were being attacked for their conservative opinions, neither of which i will ever watch but from what i gather in the comments, apparently this is what normies believe and we're the delusional butthurt ones:

the fact that it wasn't made to sell cardboard cutout toys in the first place means its marketing was a failure (muh capitalism!)

little girls don't want dolls with fat bodies (glimmer, spintossa)

lgbtq+ woke propaganda progressive activism etc. buzzwords Are Bad and "won't someone think of the children"

it didn't stay true to the masters of the universe franchise so it's #notmyshera (no shit sherlock)

no he-man included = adora's backstory makes no sense

the reboot didn't put love or thought into its characters so they're not interesting (lmao are defenders allowed to pull the "did we watch the same show" card or only antis?)

the fandom only likes the show bc it has lesbians and there's definitely no interest in the actual story/lore

nate & the crew are immature spoiled brats (???)

according to one person, korrasami was dragged into this and their representation was fake + rushed 💀

so, yeah, cringe then have a laugh with me, why don't ya

[moonlit-dreamers]

*falls through the ceiling*

hey fuckers. im gonna talk about an au i havent talked about on tumblr yet bc iivvee been very focused on stl au lol (and i also just dont post often 💀) BUT! IM HERE!!

i came up with this au a while ago and i did kinda briefly mention it a while ago but that. doesnt fucking matter.

this is an au for the sun vanished! its a story on twitter that i became absolutely OBSESSED with (and still kinda am even after all this time). listened through the whole story from a ytuber nate at night. hes pretty good and i recommend you check him out

but a basic sum-up for ppl who may not know what the sun vanished is: one day the sun randomly vanished and never came back. it starts off with tsv (we dont know his real name) trying to reunite with danyon, his friend. we then also meet tucker and nat who are also trying to meet up. a lot of shit happens that i. honestly cant remember the proper order of. "dark water" is some kinda.. weird water that fucks with your body and mind. theres also "we the people" who is an organization that tries to "work with" the "invaders" by using dark water to make themselves invisible. later on tsv, tucker and nat join a group that is very much against wtp. that... should be all thats needed to know to partially understand this au >.>

so here we go! first up, nobody in this animatronics. with a lot of the events (especially with what happens to tsv) it wouldnt work the same if they were animatronics. so theyre mutants! bc i refuse to ever make them humans!

for who is who: sun is tsv with moon being danyon. while i will say that tsv and sun do differ a lot in personalities it just.. makes more sense with the situation. especially with sun being so desperate to meet up with moon despite all the red flags.

im constantly debating if tucker would be eclipse or solar. his behaviors is like a weird mixture of the two. more aggressive than solar but nicer than eclipse. but either way hes best friends with lunar (who is nat). he is.. very overprotective and lunar is frequently frustrated with his behaviors. while, yes, lunar is a kid (14 at the beginning), he still hates being treated like he cant do anything by himself. eclipse also despises moon and never trusted him in the first place. think he tried to kill him at one point tho i. cant remember >.> (its like 1am im half asleep cut me some slack)

jack would be theseus (previously known as half-crop). jack is a kid they (the other group) brought in and kept in captivity since they were unsure if he was infected or not. with the help of lunar being a persistent lil shit they managed to get proof that he was fully conscious (since he never talked). jack only has one functioning eye, the other eye seems to be... messed up in some way. but it isnt pretty. he mainly covers it with his hat (for his own comfort). hes semiverbal and selectively mute, only talking around lunar and maybe eclipse if hes lucky.

im thinking that wtp could be the creator council? or at least ran by a creator. maybe they somehow caused the sun to vanish and let the "invaders" in freely or maybe they want to study it and thats why theyre nonhostile (towards the invaders, that is. not to other ppl lol). that would also make it suck more since moon was converted/manipulated into joining them ;-; meanwhile the other group could be others from the plex, like roxy, chica, monty, freddy, etc. theyd be really minor characters (theres actually not many names mentioned anyway lol) so i havent thought about it much *shrug*

but i have. SO many thoughts about this au man. theres so many scenarios i imagine with them. like eclipse first finding lunar in his basement staring at the dead bodies of his parents (that he had to kill himself). sun drinking too much dark water and hallucinating that moon was with him and begging him to come back and that hes sorry. lunar finding a video sun took of him and eclipse dancing together. sun sending his last message to moon about how he hates him and that neither of them turned out to be the ppl they promised they would be then ending it by saying he loves moon and hopes he never sees the message.

idk man. kinda unwell over this

Also, this was not a Hardinson episode *kicks dirt* BUT I LOVED ALL OF HIS MOMENTS!!! I love him so much and I want a focused episode on him so badly is that so wrong?

But man. Imma cool down and breathe then go to the next episode 

[coldflasher]

Fandom ask: DC LOT?

whew im so late responding to this one, i was sooo late clocking off work tonight 😭 anyway

Favourite Female:

There were many incredible women on Legends but I think Zari 2.0 cinches it for me!

Favourite Male:

John Constantine my beloved... im a sucker for a terrible bisexual man

3 Other Favourite Characters:

Leonard obviously... he'd have been my number 1 but I feel considering he was only really in season 1 he barely counts as being on the show in my opinion

Martin Stein!! I love that old man :( his death is still up there with the saddest tv deaths of all time for me

Aaaand I probably have to go with Mick for my number 3! His truly bizarre character development from violent pyromaniac to successful romance novelist with a clutch of alien babies born via ear might be one of my favourite twists of all time and it's genuinely so impossible to describe it to anyone who hasn't seen the show. Flash Mick and Legends Mick are absolutely not the same man but Legends Mick is so much fucking funnier

3 OTPs:

John and Zari Tarazi

Zarlie

Avalance (basic of me I'm afraid but what can I say I genuinely think they're really cute)

Notp:

Nate/Zari 💀 they make zero sense to me

Behrad/Astra (same, and also the writing for that ship is sooo dodgy cos one half of the writers' room was gunning for it and the other half didn't give a shit and you can really tell which writers were writing which episodes imo)

Funniest character:

Ava! Jes Macallan's comedic timing is unmatched and some of the funniest moments of the show hinge on her deadpan line delivery. Shoutout to "I wrote that review 😐", the episode where she writes Sara a card saying she's glad Oliver is dead and wishes Sara had never met him (I usually hate the "lesbian character despises her bisexual girlfriend's male exes" trope but I gave them a pass for that one cos it was genuinely very funny), and the time she just goes "goodbye!" and liea down in the middle of the road

That being said, the hardest I have ever laughed at a joke on Legends was the dad joke that Damien Darkh makes in the ep where John and Nora fake an engagement. It was during the peak of the pandemic. Me and my friend were locked in our tiny 2 bed student house rewatching all of Legends on my laptop because we didnt have a TV. we hadnt left the house in days because of all the restrictions, literally all we did for like a straight week or two was watch legends. and something about this dad joke ("Hi annoyed, i'm dad!") caught us so off-guard that it literally made us cry laughing, like that full-on painful, can't even breathe kind of laughter, for about 10 solid minutes. i can't even explain why it was that funny!! whenever i have seen that episode since, that joke has never got more than a giggle out of me. but at the time we were absolutely howling.

Prettiest character:

charlie is genuinely so beautiful (and having met maisie in person i can say that they are even more indescribably beautiful in person and have the most calming presence)

Most Annoying Character:

I don't want to jump on the Mona hate train cos poor Ramona got treated terribly by the fans but Mona was... not my fave. She got shafted by terrible writing. In my opinion her annoying characterization was 100% fixable with some good development but they just chose to write her out instead? Cowards.

Most badass character:

It has to be Sara, I feel!

Character I’d like as my BFF:

Honestly I'm not sure I'd personally get on with literally any of them 😭 I love them all but I'm not sure our personalities would gel. That being said I think I'd say Ray because he seems like an easygoing man and I think you'd have to actively try to not get along with him.

Female Character I’d Marry:

I'd say Charlie but she is too wild for me. She'd defo get bored and we'd end up having to divorce. I'd probably go for Ava... I'm not sure we'd be a good fit personality-wise but I appreciate her risk aversion and I need that kind of organized presence in my life. She'd probably also divorce me though, on account of the fact that i am not organized at all.

Male Character I’d Marry:

Again I feel Ray is the only safe choice here. John may be my fave but I would 100% end up dead if I married him because he has terrible luck with relationships. Also he tends to lash out and be horrible when he's experiencing difficult emotions and I am way too sensitive for that shit lmao. Also he smokes and that's a dealbreaker for me (I say, having previously dated a smoker. Must stick to my convictions next time.)

Character I hate/dislike/least like:

you know that meme that's like "I love all my children equally." *jumpcut* "I don't care for Michael" (or whatever the guy's name is)?

That's me with Behrad. They just shoehorned the guy in and I fear I need a few more personality traits other than "stoner" for me to be interested. They never gave Shayan anything to work with really and it's a shame cos Behrad could have been so interesting...

[cassiesc0rner]

hii cass!! 💿 anon here!! i just read the new chapter and IM LOSING MYY MIND. first off i cant believe you mentioned me in the description i gasped when i saw it. im so happy i helped u get some ideas (and that u liked them enough to include them) the chapter was so good i was kicking my feet and twirling my hair around my finger the entire time. nate is SO HOT I CANT. the ending??? I DIED. i feel like this man is gonna break our poor girl. i loved how he behaved in the party and how he loved her dress and made her drink and get out of her comfort zone. i wonder if she will get along with the cheerleaders (because they were so nice to her. surprisingly..) yknow i think nate might make her get along with his popular crowd just so he can control who she talks to because she's getting more rebellious now (i also wanna know how he's gonna handle that...) ALSO IS SHE GONNA FIGHT CASSIE?? GIRL IM SO INVESTED IN THIS LMAO. i cant wait for the new chapter. .. my god i just imagined nate smoking and im gonna pass out

omg hii i missed you!! And ofc i’m gonna mention you your ideas were literally amazing and I’m so glad you liked the 🥹🫶🏽

and yess I kinda figured the cheerleaders would be nice, bc they’re kinda scared of Nate and they know not to mess with his girlfriend😶 and i totally agree!! he’d definitely want her to hang out with his crowd because it’s way easier to keep an eye on her, but at the same time they know about all the crazy shit he’s done soo he might not want them to get too comfortable with her.. and yes omg it’s so exciting to think about how he’s gonna handle her, now that she’s actually comfortable enough with him to talk back hhhh. And I already plan on introducing Cassie to the reader in the chapter after the next one so be prepared hihi, and yes the image of Nate smoking actually did something to me💀

[xplrvibes]

ive decided i will commentate this one but it likely won’t be as long as the others bc like i dnt feel good. anyway…

im starting this commentary 4.5 minutes in so here is where we start.

this is the snc era where i loved both their fashion styles so much 🙌🏼

Ooh they meet steve and dylan here. i rly like them 🥰 you can tell dylans a cop bc of the way he stands back and watches everyone lol

this house is stunning

I thought colby had a little yellow rubber ducky on his belt and i didnt even question it… my brain is not braining (update it was his phone)

steves hot. there’s no denying it. that man is a man.

I got distracted looking at steve and now colbys in a casket what on earth ☠️

I dont get the fear of bats… why are they so scared of bats? I love bats… 🦇

I just realised they never said “whats up guys its snc” sad sad

i was gonna say snc need to start using pelican cases foe their gear but actually i hate moving pelican cases so props to them for risking thousands of dollars of gear on a camera bag 🙏🏼 bc honestly same. i carry my personal kit in a $5 backpack 🤷🏻‍♀️

i blissfully almost forgot the other one was in this video for a while bc he wasn’t making much of a presence. shattered.

i know theyre tripping out but thats an awesome pic of josh tbh

the ghost wants to talk to them in heaven? that’s fk up

“are they trapped somewhere?” “yeah… help” 😳

“borden… awful” they said it not me

dude i wanna be a petty bitch and not believe seth rn but he genuinely looks freaked out.

josh is really really good at estes. like damn…

“im coming” relatable when colby’s in the room

this is getting insane wtf

steve could tell me santa claus was real and id believe him 🥺

steve saying this is their first time experiencing such a drastic change in activity at this house (and theuve been here over 50 times)… again, further proof of snc being in the psychic realm bc this stuff always happens to them. always. and its bc colbys the psychic and sams the guide. fk

lmao steve and dylan being like nah dudes we dipping we got work in the morning lmao

k done - aussie anon

Oh, if you like Steve and Dylan and you haven't already done so, check out the prison video they did with them and Nate, Our Horrifying Night in Haunted Prison (as seen below, cause there's two prison episodes right near each other in the lineup):

This one is good for some "Colby just casually does psychic things" moments, too.

But yea, I enjoy Steve and Dylan quite a bit.

And omg, honestly, I'm just glad they finally got a regualr suitcase a couple of years ago, at least for the airport part of the travel. Prior to that, everything went into backpacks and duffel bags. 💀

But they must insure their shit (or they're just that rich lol), cause when all their crap including their new camera and light got stolen that time they were able to replace it like a week later, so I guess they figured as long as they protect the SD cards they can figure the rest out. 🤷‍♀️

And yea, this happens a lot cause of the energy these two are creating with their very presence, but what the hell do we know 🤣

My thoughts on 3x05 - Signs

@movrings Since I was unable to post my thoughts about the episode when it first came out, here’s my thoughts on it here!!

First off, concerned for Beard, he’s been increasingly wrong with small things recently and becoming more unsure of himself, part of me thinks this might have to do with Jane and his abusive relationship with her or it could be just a gag, but I’m hoping the former is actually addressed at some point

The whole “Shite in Nining Armor” thing being just a slip of the tongue seems a little too obvious, I’m still holding out hope it’s either about Jamie or Henry because i honestly don’t see the significance of that scene unless we’re talking about the mention of “soulmates” during it

Side-note: I absolutely despise John Wingsnight and this scene just made it worse, this guy sucks and deserves to be called a shite (he’s also incredibly creepy, Rebeca you dodged a very large bullet)

Anyway, “soulmate” mentioned!!

Also, I understand why Keeley can’t pick up the phone, but it is sad to see especially later in the episode

Jumping to the boys talking about Nate and Anastasia: i love how Isaac said that Nate’s “transformation is gonna be on the inside” like it has yet to happen. Obviously, he means it in a negative way, but for the audience, we know/hope that Nate’s transformation is going to be good and lead to a reconciliation! This is especially interesting to see coupled with Nate’s plot point within this episode

All i gotta say about Zava is fuck him, but i am sad we never got to see his wife and Smingus Dingus

I love the “injured monkey” bit the guys do to guilt Trent into telling them his idea and that Roy joined in

I love how i knew it was Henry that was actually the bully - definitely wanna know what he did to Doug

Roy’s monologue, the music, *chef’s kiss* (Love the way Ted handled that too lmao)

Higgins saying they should think about firing Ted and hearing Rebecca’s gasp before he even said it actually broke my heart

THE BISCUIT BOX

Watching Rebecca get her hopes up about what Trish said is killing me and i definitely cried so much this episode - love Higgins helping her out though

Straight up thought Nate was so fucking smooth with that phone call until it clicked lmao 💀

Ok The Scene™️:

I straight up screamed at this, i was freaking out

The same dress she was wearing when she bumped into Sam??

The way that they both use inverted greetings from what they normally do “Hey Boss/Hello Ted” to “Hey Coach/Hello Rebecca”

The way that they both stop at the exact moment and turn around to look at each other before meeting each other in the middle

The way that they already know what’s going on with the other without having to say anything

They way that their lives are so in sync and mirror the other’s and they don’t even realize it, but they’re both shocked by what the other said

Also, I know it’s the same place that Sam bumped into Rebecca last season, BUT it’s also the same exact place where Ted asked Rebecca how she was holding up after her divorce in the first episode of the first season and that shit just killed me

Proud of Keeley for firing Shandy

Watching Rebecca sit in that office killed me

Also the Emergency Contact 👀 i just know that’s gonna play into what’s happening in Amsterdam (perhaps after her falling into the canal)

Going back to Ted and Rebecca - Dr. Wagner asking her how she’s holding up??? Mirroring Ted’s words to her the first time they met??? I can’t remember where, but I’m pretty sure there’s an interview where Hannah mentions how important that scene is because Ted is the first person to really ask Rebecca how she’s doing during that and you can see the shock Hannah portrays on her face perfectly - anyways I’m emotional

So grateful Jan Maas is actually spotting Colin this time and not letting him choke like the other guys did lmao

Watching Ted go from water to wine after the mention of Jake was actually so painful, but also healing isn’t linear and just because we saw him do well last episode, doesn’t mean he’s healed now

Dan is my favorite and i love this anxious man

I’m sad we never got to see what’s in Barbara’s desk drawer

Love Roy’s hype up he does with the boys

I swear Henry was avoiding Ted because he didn’t wanna tell him he was bullying a kid lmao

I FUCKING LOVE JADE

Thinking about how upset Nathan got last season when someone got his name wrong, but he got called Nathan Jelly and he wasn’t timid this time or angry, he just let it slide off - you know what that is, that’s growth

I’ll say it again - Fuck Zava

Loving the bi representation with Keeley!! I know it was mentioned in season one, but it’s great to see on screen

Nate came to A Taste of Athens after he got promoted at Richmond 😭

Anyways watching Rebecca get that call in her office and Hannah’s face journey made me actually start sobbing oh my god like get this woman therapy and let me hold her

I just know that Jade would stand up to Nate’s dad for him

Watching Roy look at Jamie approvingly actually killed me and I’m so proud he got recognized in at least a small way

Watching Ted take himself out of a panic attack!!! I was so proud of him!! He was so proud of himself!!

“Your girlfriend runs off with some dude and it turns out they were soulmates” 👀 looking at you Sam

THE SPEECH!!! WE ARE GETTING OUT OF THE DARK FOREST

[saintobio]

I have so many mixed feelings abt sy7–

Controversial opinion;;

Like it's shitty that Utahime went with her best friend's ex- but at the same time, you can't help who you fall in love with right? It's paralleled to Nate, Cassie, and Maddy but the thing is, with Utahime, when Y/N found out, she was ready to own up to it and acknowledge the fact that she was in the wrong, as far as ready to kneel and beg for forgiveness. But with Cassie, that bitch fucking ran away the moment she was exposed and doesn't bother to admit she's wrong💀💀💀

Even so, it's understandable that Y/N would feel betrayed because that's her best friend. Someone she leaned on and openly expressed her feelings with. So to see that same best friend with the man she used to love, yeah it fucking stings. (Especially when she highkey still loves Gojo but sis currently in denial so shhh) She has every right to feel betrayed, and I don't think anyone should come @ her just for feeling so. Yeah she told him to move on, but you have to understand that he's moving on with her best friend. The best friend who she now perceives as the perfect woman for the man she love(s)d. The best friend who she openly ranted to about her misery from her marriage. That same best friend who is now with the same husband that caused her that misery. She has every right to feel betrayed.

But at the same time, I can't fully blame Gojo and Utahime too. Utahime is Gojo's Toji, and considering the fact that the time they spent with each other, were spent with both of them being each other's pillar, yeah it was bound for Utahime's feelings for Gojo to get stronger and for Gojo to want to start anew with her. The difference between Gojohime and NatexCassie is that, Gojohime happened because of their constant support for each other. Like genuine care for the other person. NatexCassie is, Cassie desperate for any man's attention, and Nate is,,, nate💀

I saw that one anon ask saying that, what's most wrong here is the timing and the context of the entire shit. Gojohime happened too soon, not only for the audience, but for the story too. The timing was off considering gojoyn just "ended" and yet immensely we see Gojohime. The fact that Utahime is Y/N's best friend and yet she's with her ex is wrong. But i was always taught as i grew that love isn't in anyone's control, you can't control who you fall for. So i can't find it in myself to hate Utahime for falling in love because that wasn't up to her.

TLDR:; It's hard to get mad because I'm torn between "She's with her best friend's ex" and "you can't help who you fall in love with." I think it's the timing

I'm sorry if i wasn't able to word this properly enough,, i really don't mean to offend anyone and if i did I'm really sorry,,

not really a controversial opinion bc i do know that their situation will leave everyone with mixed feelings. it’s definitely the timing, but also the situation in itself. you described it well!!

[aquagustd]

MC is playing too nice with Jk, first her agreeing to bring Junho to his house after knowing he doesn't know how to take care of a child and after his dangerous remark basically saying Junho should know how to take care of himself. Now he's threatening to take her to court? Yeah he got her fucked up and I need her to start playing some offense. Start collecting evidence to provide to the court at least... and fuck zora too, I was giving her the benefit of doubt but since she wanna be disrespectful and hop in business that don't concern her when the bitch haven't even properly introduced herself to MC but wanna be around her child, its fuck her too! Also Mc shouldn't have been fine with Junho being around someone she doesn't know without a proper sitdown or introduction. Also Jk doesn't have the right to feel the same way about Tae being around since he doesn't have any parental right to Junho and didn't want him. I need MC to get with the program and stop letting Jk have the upper hand in this dangerous game he clearly wants to play... Also I wish she would be more stern with Junho with this father situation because she's his mother and guardian and what she says goes when it comes to dangerous messy ass Jungkook, he might not like it but its better for her to start now than later or when something happens to him or with him around.

Also let's not forget Jungkook tried to kiII her by intentionally letting her fall into the pool AND that shit he just pulled in the kitchen... he's giving Nate Jacobs in that scene with Maddy and the g*n... matter fact I wouldn't put it past him to do that to get her to sign over Junho... Jk lucky because I would've been fucked him up about mines.

i got so hyped after reading this 😫 oc stop messing around and get your shit together !!!

oc is too lenient, you’re right. she just lets things slide with jk knowing what kind of a person he can be. she did try to persuade junho in the car but he’s stubborn ✋🏻 what can a five year old know amirite?

zora 💀 oc doesn’t know her. she could be a psycho for all we know & she’s letting her son live with her ??? nahhh

not n8 with the g*n 🫢 i saw another ask that made this reference and he is indeed giving nate jacobs.

[thestargayzingetherian]

Just for fun, I'll reply to each of those points to mock the assholes who were making them.

the fact that it wasn't made to sell cardboard cutout toys in the first place means its marketing was a failure - Well here's the thing, Mattel apparently didn't WANT to make proper toys for SPOP because they hated having to share the rights with Dreamworks. Like this was the big revival of their biggest action toy franchise... and they were only making half the money from it. The ironic thing is... SPOP was CLEARLY designed with selling toys in mind. Little things here and there only make sense if you realise they were there to sell toys. Scorpia's hovercraft in one episode, Catra's various outfits, Adora's new She-Ra form... like some of thse have narrative purpose but they clearly they were all part of the long running cartoons-toys pipeline... and now so many cartoons and whatnot don't even bother with proper toys anymore and what ones they do kinda suck (looking at you half the recent transformers toylines meant to tie into the cartoons and them looking like crap.)

ittle girls don't want dolls with fat bodies - Yeah they do, especially if chubby girls see characters that look like them, it'll probably make them feel less bad about being chubby themselves.

lgbtq+ woke propaganda progressive activism etc. buzzwords Are Bad and "won't someone think of the children" - Oh thse buzzwords are most certainly good, anything to help children figure themselves out and break free from our societies cishetronormative white supremacist bullshit. Also most people who say "won't someone think of the children" probably shouldn't be around children, just saying.

it didn't stay true to the masters of the universe franchise so it's #notmyshera (no shit sherlock) - That's the damnest thing, this show is VERY true to the 80s She-Ra. Like if you squint hard enough, season one of SPOP is pretty much the opening movie of the 80s She-Ra secret of the sword minus all the He-Man bits. Also the fact that the two later He-Man reboots after SPOP would clearly draw from SPOP in some places. So if anything SPOP was so true to MOTU, the rest of MOTU has been desperately trying to copy it.

no he-man included = adora's backstory makes no sense - They legally couldn't touch Adora's backstory or the He-Man stuff if they wanted to. And if anything, the show's creators probably took care enough that one could probably still put Adora's classic backstory in there somehow, hence why they didn't make a new backstory for Adora.

the reboot didn't put love or thought into its characters so they're not interesting (lmao are defenders allowed to pull the "did we watch the same show" card or only antis?) - Oh that's a fucking load of turds. The SPOP characters are usually MILES better than the 80s ones in terms of personality and actual characer depth. I should know, I've watched nearly the whole of the 80s She-Ra.

the fandom only likes the show bc it has lesbians and there's definitely no interest in the actual story/lore - Excuse me we like lesbians AND the lore and story! Hell, this sapphic girl is even making up all sorts of stories and lore to fill in the gaps that the writers of the show didn't have time to fill in or couldn't focus on. So yeah, I'm very much invested in this show's story and lore thank you very much.

nate & the crew are immature spoiled brats (???) - Ah yes, the queer people are entitled narcissists bullshit. Haven't heard that one in a while. If you're targeting the creators with your bullshit, go fuck yourself.

according to one person, korrasami was dragged into this and their representation was fake + rushed 💀 - Hey, leave Korrasami out of this! I have my issues with Korrasami sometimes but like... THAT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH SPOP! Hell, I don't really like other queer ships being dragged into each other's bs or compared to each other period. They're all queer ships, they were all something that are important to someone somewhere, so stop pitting them against each other.

Anyway, hope you don't mind the long tangent on your post friend. Hope you don't have to suffer any more of these brainless ghouls spouting their bile.

i found a long (i'm talking nearly an hour) video essay on youtube about how "mattel prefers the classic she-ra and netflix fans are TRIGGERED LIBERALS" and another one (about 20 minutes) that talks about how haters of the 2018 reboot were being attacked for their conservative opinions, neither of which i will ever watch but from what i gather in the comments, apparently this is what normies believe and we're the delusional butthurt ones:

the fact that it wasn't made to sell cardboard cutout toys in the first place means its marketing was a failure (muh capitalism!)

little girls don't want dolls with fat bodies (glimmer, spintossa)

lgbtq+ woke propaganda progressive activism etc. buzzwords Are Bad and "won't someone think of the children"

it didn't stay true to the masters of the universe franchise so it's #notmyshera (no shit sherlock)

no he-man included = adora's backstory makes no sense

so, yeah, cringe then have a laugh with me, why don't ya
