If you could undo any of the retcons in DA, what would you choose and why?

the inquisition.

i mean, this is a short answer, but as time goes by, i understand that this is an honest one. this is a tangent, but i guess dai is just an example of electronic arts' production hell if bioware planned the second game only as a bridge for the inquisition's main conflict, and then we get this regarding the mage uprising. like, it's reasonable to assume that since da2 was supposed to be a preamble, the dai's initial main focus was the mage rebellion? and then it's just one main quest in the beginning of the game, and that's it.

but this is not about retcons, it's just me being annoyed. it's just the dai is the most fruitful regarding the topic.

hawke suddenly hating on blood magic. they tried so hard to push it with leandra's death, and then just decided to take the matter in their own hands, ig.

whatever the fuck hawke and varric say about anders. this is not their point of view, at least not in every case, in da2??

whatever the fuck they did to dalish.

like, vallaslin? i guess it's cool if you get inspired by real-world peoples, and then decide to make vallaslin slave marks.

or make their gods powerful slavers Just Like The Nations that inflicted the genocide on them. nothing about andrastianism, tho.

dalish actually kick out the mages is the obvious one.

the point of view on the red crossing. same reason. i count it as a retcon because of the implications that elves actually did that (i.e. the exalted march) to themselves.

also iirc they changed relationships between dalish and city elves/ made it worse to shit on elves again. stop that wtf!! they won't, ofc.

i dunno if it's a retcon or just conscious disinformation, but the presentation of celene and briala in-game. no spoilers, but did they suddenly decide that celene actually didn't do anything she did in the masked empire?

whitewashing of alistair, fiona and briala. they don't look like that, you fuckers???

make these cullen endgame sliders canon again and work from here, cowards. i actually got them in my playthrough even tho they deleted them, afaik. (the ones where he snaps and kills three mages.)

actually, the whole cullen arc. i won't say anything new here, his story was supposed to end in dao, da2 at most.

and i think there are other sliders from dao they retconned and put aside, like with the circle that mages built near orzammar? do it, cowards! it would make such a good plot point in a normal version of dai where your focus is the mage rebellion.

the ending of dragon age absolution. i'm sorry, did anyone find it satisfying? did anyone go, like, hell yeah finally? or i knew that!

the wardens. of course they're suddenly all that stupid to fall for cory's lap dog's lies and shenanigans!

i dunno if the last one counts as a retcon, but it surely falls into the same line of crimes against the previous lore. suddenly bioware felt an urge to shit on every group da:o players held dear. because grey morality. but, you know, even without "i like diversity and opportunity to be a dick, i don't appreciate when the game tries to push an agenda in defense of the oppressors and you can't fucking escape it", sooner or later one should understand that trying to mix grey with every colour in the picture will lead only to it looking dirty and messy. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

thank you for your question! :)

Yes we went to see the final showdown in Halloween Ends this past Tuesday.

I was on the look out for any collectable goodies for this this while there. I didn't think there would be any which there wasn't but you never know. I thought there wouldn't be anything for IT Chapter 2 but there was tons of stuff anyway.

yup the final showdown!! I didn't know what to expect from the movie but I was hoping for a good final chapter one thing I noticed that during the opening credits is the text is blue and not the usual Halloween orange. I thought it was in reference to Laurie but I was told it was a reference to the original Halloween 3..? I seen the original Halloween 3 but don't remember the opening credits.

Now as for the movie itself it was alright don't go further if you don't want spoilers. The movie wasn't really about the final showdown of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, now you do get that you get what you paid to see in like the last 20-30mins of the movie but the rest of it is more kind of about Laurie Strode and a brand new character named Corey. In the movie there is a bit of a time jump being that this takes place I think 4 years after after the events of Halloween Kills and Michael has vanished never to be seen again and at the very first of the movie we are introduced to the character of Cory who accidentally kills a boy he was asked to babysit and with out Michael the town turns on Cory and brands him the "New Boogeyman" and he goes away for a bit of time all due to the "Curse of Michael Myers" when he gets out he is trying to get his life back together and ends up crossing paths with Laurie Strode who is now living in a house downtown Haddonfield with her granddaughter Allyson and is now the stereotypical grandmother who bakes cookies and pies and all that and is apparently living the life she should have been with out Michael Myers and is writing a book about he experience with him. after meeting Cory Laurie introduces him to Allyson and he and Allyson being dating. after a run in with the injured Michael Myers one night Cory seems to become possessed by Michael and he goes on a bit of a killing spree with the help of Michael but then turns on him and tries to become the new Michael Myers and goes after Laurie over her now disapproval of him dating Allyson. Michael returns and proves that he is the one and only Michael Myers and this is where you get the final showdown of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers.

Like I said the movie is alright its not what I expected. I have to say I did expect a bit more from this being how they built it up and compared to the previous 2 movies. I did feel that it was strange the direction that Laurie Strode went in as a character. According to the previous 2 movies she spent like 40 years becoming this hardened Sarah Connor type person to just being all "fuck it, I'm just going to buy a cute lil house in town and bake pies and shit" its totally like "wtf?" it just seems weird like the complete opposite of what we were introduced to in the first 2 movies. also the whole thing with the character of Cory reminded me of the stories and ideas from Friday the 13th: A New Beginning and Jason Goes to Hell where someone else takes over as the killer and/or the idea of transmissible/transferable evil. Now I can't say I didn't like the movie but I do feel like the first of it was pretty good and the last of it was great its just like in the middle there that was kinda "huh? what does this have to do with Laurie Strode VS.Michael Myers?" It was an interesting watch and seeing how it all "Ends" but I would have to say I did enjoy Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills way more then I did this. and with this you do get what you came to see/pay for its just primarily at the last what 20-30mins of the movie. even before that some of the kills were alright but its not very graphic unlike the previous 2 and doesn't feel very scary or terrifying either. one of the ppl I went with kinda said that this movie kinda reminded him of the movie Christine where the character of Cory is like Arnie Cunningham and Michael Myers is the car.. which of course kinda made me think.. also it was funny mentioning that being Christine was also directed by John Carpenter (who created the 1978 Halloween)

Anyway the final word on this is that the movie was alright and it wasn't want I was expecting and was expecting more from it but if you want to see how it "Ends" then I would say its worth the watch the last what 20-30mins of the movie is primarily what you came to see/pay for.

Fandom: Hercules

the first character i ever fell in love with:

Ares, God of War, played by Kevin Smith.  RIP, Kev.

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not:

Atlanta.  I still love Cory Everson, who played her, but I have many many problems with Atlanta that I didn’t realize until I got older.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:

Hercules/Xena.  I mean, I still think it’s possible, but like, give me Xena/Ares, Xena/Gabrielle, or Xena/Autolycus any day.

my ultimate favorite character™:

STRIFE.  My God, I love that little bastard to this day.

prettiest character:

Iolaus.  Jesus Christ, Michael Hurst is a looker.

my most hated character:

Discord.  One-note, shrill, G-rated BDSM Barbie.  She just wasn’t written as well as some of the other characters, and it shows, especially when she was mostly working with Ares and Herclues, who ere both pretty damned awesome.

my OTP:

Xena/Ares.  Don’t judge.

my NOTP:

Xena/Caesar.

favorite episode:

The Quill is Mightier

saddest death:

Perdicus.  I didn’t like him that much, but the effect it had on Gabrielle.

favorite season:

Third Season, before Hope.

least favorite season:

Eli’s season, where they go around the world, and Xena’s basically pregnant with Jesus!Callisto or wtf-ever.

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate:

I don’t actually know who the fandom loves any more!  

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave:

CALLISTO.  Beautiful mess, you are a huge piece of shit but I love your crazy blonde ass.

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave:

Iolaus.  The amount of shit he’s gone through on Herc’s behalf is just ridiculous.  Like, really ridiculous, to the point he’s been dead, Dahok, a guardian angel, an alternate-world jester who went into the sea for the mermaid he loved, I mean.  Come the fuck ON and give my baby boy a break.

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship:

I actually don’t have a one of those in this fandom.  It’s Greek Mythology, and pretty much anything I can think of, they’ve already done it.  Regicide, cannibalism, patricide, fratricide, incest, beastiality, and that’s practically just Zeus.  Dude was a man-whore.

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship:

Xena/Autolycus.  I’m too much a fan of Xena/Ares and Xena/Gabrielle to actively invest myself in them, but man.  Whenever Autolycus shows up, there’s CRAZY sexual tension and I feel like screaming “JUST BANG ALREADY” at the screen.  But then I remember Tsunami, which shows just how much Autolycus cares about Gabrielle, too, and I know he’d never seduce Xena away from her wife.  So, you kow.  Lowkey shipping, but not invested.  Doesn’t mean I haven’t tried to write it, though.  I even got them naked.

Man, this is old home week.  I haven’t actively considered this in AGES, and that’s saying something considering it was literally my first online fandom EVER.

Ask me a fandom!  And if you don’t want them all, send some numbers!

DeMille award went to Jeff Bridges. The new Carol Burnett award started off with Carol herself. I was saddened that Bill Hader, Henry Winkler, Kieran Culkin, Keri Russell and Sacha Baron Cohen went home empty handed.

***** Despite some people I admire that are giving Alexandria Ocasio Cortez a talking to like she’s a child, I say ‘Give ‘em Hell!’  She could well be President so fight girl!!

***** Word is that Karen Pence is now teaching at the Immanuel School in Virginia. The school refuses admission to students who participate in or condone homosexual activity.

The application goes on to state that ‘a wife must submit to her husband’ and a pledge must be signed to that effect.

***** There is controversy over the bill to give people a day off for Election Day. Many people will still have to work, the country never completely shuts down. How many fucking times do I have to say it: VOTE BY MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!

***** So, Scary clown told us Mexico would pay for ‘the wall’. During the campaign he gave actual ideas for that like Mexico giving us a one time payout or else he would not allow Mexican immigrants to western union money back to Mexico. Another idea was that there would be a great ta on that Western union money. It does not seem like they tried any of that and just decided we would pay for the stupid ‘wall.’ How about the money he makes off Trump merch which his website and hotels still sell to pay for it?? How about the $35 million that Trump sold in real estate in 2018? The ‘Wall’ go fund me did not reach its $1billion goal so the $20 million they did collect is being offered for refunds. Some of those people still want that money to go for its purpose so Trump is creating a non- profit. Can’t we use that money to help the border patrol agents and get the backlog in immigration court moving?? That we are still talking about this ridiculous wall and that it had a go fund me page is enough to boggle the normal brain.** I think Kimmel said it best when he suggested that Trump just tell the red hats that the wall has been built.  They believe everything he says so why wouldn’t they believe that??  It would save the country a lot of headaches. ** What the Hell is with his new “wheels and walls” mantra??** Russia caused Brexit too? Putin is a menace.** Another sink hole appeared the White House. WTF?

***** The congressional budget office says the shut down cost the U.S. 11 billion

***** Trump is talking to Herman Cain about a job on the Federal Reserve Board.

***** The GOP is selling fake bricks that cost about 50 cents for $20 each to send to Senate Dems. Some have said that the Dems should sign them and sell them and give the money to government workers. ** Why are Russian jets fucking around on the North American coastline??

***** Roger Stone has been indicted on 5 counts of false statements, 1 count of obstruction and 1 count of witness tampering. The FBI officers who arrested him were part of the shut down and they still did their job!!  He publically and privately claimed to have communicated with Russia. Predictions are that many more indictments are coming down the pike that involve many familiar faces.** Roger Stone has a Nixon tattoo on his back. I feel sorry for his cell mate.-Bill Maher

***** Bill Maher got some flak for comments after Stan Lee died. He wasn’t slamming Lee, but wondered about comic book fans putting away childish things. I suppose that could include weed but point taken.

***** Jared Kushner along with 30 other White House staff was denied top secret clearance but Trump advisor Carl Kline overruled that decision and gave it to them anyway. This has never been done before, this is a job for intelligent agencies.

***** Empire star Jussie Smollett was attacked in Chicago in what cops are saying was a possible hate crime. The attackers were yelling that this was MAGA country, poured bleach on him and put a rope around his neck.  The actor was previously sent a letter full of homophobic and racist slurs which he FBI had been looking into.

***** Ellen page gave us some memorable, powerful words to chew on with her appearance on Stephen Colbert. I am sure she gave courage to many who suffer because of our hate filled administration.

***** Gwyneth Paltrow is being sued from a 2016 ski incident for 3 mil.

***** I gain more and more respect for Seth Meyers. I did not really understand the choice of him as host in the beginning. His notice of local stations, choice of guests and revolving drummers makes for a great show.

***** A Dutch company may have invented a small device that converts heat into cold and Forbes is saying, ‘it could save the planet.’

***** So looking forward to Ryan Murphy’s The Politician which will star Jessica Lange, Gwyneth Paltrow and January Jones.

***** I know that is has happened little by little and we go thru times in our history when things get worse and then things get better but… When did this country get so fucking corrupt?? I mean seriously.. Why is Brendan Dassey still in prison and why is there no real justice for Teresa Halbach? ** Why is Trump still in the White House?**Why are government workers being told to work for nothing?? Why is R Kelly still living it up?? Why are some states going backward in time when it comes to women’s health?? Why do many corporations care more about their own pockets than the children of their employees or the environment around them??** Why does our justice system so often punish big for small infractions and allow the powerful to do anything they want?? **Why is a wall a better idea than infrastructure or warm beds for the homeless or food for our children and why are so many children in cages??

***** How can it be that we are still in a world where people are not allowed to reach their full potential?? Why do so many selfish humans actually fight to live in a world where they actively hold others back? Shouldn’t we all be concerned about the greater good?  We should all be allowed to see a Doctor when we are ill. We should all be able to excel in education if we choose .We should all be able to get a job to fit our skills and work ethic.  Opportunities and the pursuit of happiness should be available to all. Why is this so fucking hard for so many to grasp in this world? Imagine!

***** Sundance premiered the new flick, Big time adolescence with Griffin Gluck and Pete Davidson. Pete has since made no bones about filming in Syracuse. He hated it.

***** Jeff Flake will join CBS news as a contributor.

***** Tom Brokaw is in a bit of trouble for saying Hispanics should work harder at assimilation.

bumblebee: has a box of naked barbie dolls tucked away somewhere

beryl: not a headcanon but my weirdest plot wishlist thing for her is i want her to lose an eye because her fc has a strangely large number of movies where she’s got an eyepatch so???

quinn: buys a lot of faer regular clothes at post-halloween sales bc fae includes a lot of ridiculous theatricality in faer wardrobe

maurice: man idk fuck this guy tbh. i guess he’s just really bad at coming up with psych experiments which would be ironic except that his solution is so just throw out ethics altogether so instead of ironic he’s jsut bad

quarrel: puts too many veggies on pizza. basically makes salad on a bread plate

skyler: surprisingly okay with weed, privately, but wouldn’t say so now after walt

jeremy: uses his powers to make THC

kelly: was ridiculously busy in college because she was doing gymnastics and majoring in marine biology. also i kinda bent the laws of time for her because i decided she had puberty blockers, which wouldn’t have been available at the time but FUCK IT i do what i want

sam: literally everything about them is weird. they’re from night vale. they’re very emotionally attached to their shotgun

friday: exists in a world where commercial mascots are real and has interacted with at least a few. probably fought the noid from domino’s

lillian: world’s clumsiest vampire

trauma: has a lot of opinions about the difference between goth and emo

lauren: tries very hard to have a personal life that’s separate from work, but it’s difficult bc she also has to babysit miguel

justin: likes swedish fish bc they’re vegan

xerxes: pretends to not like broadway shows, but does, and also prefers to sneak into them

hiroshi: pretends to be very proud of dropping out of an ivy league school because that seems like a cool counter-cultural thing to do, but actually super regrets it bc he can’t remember why it happened (kita up there was responsible, back at number 36)

yellowjacket: surprisingly nit-picky about cleaning and organization, the opposite of hank

ambrose: i mean this isn’t really weird, to me, but i guess it’s weird to other people, but like one of zir special interests is death positivity

janet: again, not actually that weird, but janet actually likes bugs. like she’s not an entomologist but i hate how often girls are depicted as thinking of bugs as icky, especially superheroines that are named after bugs like wtf

guy: local pyromaniac doesn’t know what to do with his hands

geoluread: laughs in the face of disaster because it probably won’t hurt hues

karnilla: can turn into a motherfuckin’ dragon

tomi: mm idk she’s more of a switch than anything else, but because of her job as a dominatrix and a lot of trust issues, she doesn’t get a lot of opportunity to sub ono

stonewall: literally became a superhero by accident bc she saw a fight at a protest and just threw a pride flag over her face to hide her identity to help the protesters and then stumbled into superheroness from there

winged victory: very socially awkward, despite her very public identity and good speaking skills

guard: speaks like eight languages but will play dumb about that as often as benefits him.

brad: originally had him born in the 60s but i aged him up about 20 years so he could be alive to write kirk/spock slash fic in the early days of fanfiction

kaiba: really way too in love with that fucking dragon

schrodinger: hmmm well i guess like. idk most of my things about schrodinger are tragic or a thinly veiled critique of moderate white liberalism. he likes marmite which i guess is weird

Part two of the thing

Glee

The first character i ever fell in love with:

Kurt, of course. He’s probably my favorite fictional character ever. He has so much complexity and is just so real, so witty and sharp and sensitive and strong. It was so important to me at the time of first watching, to see a gay character who defied probably every stereotype there was. Cause people think, before they actually start watching…oh this kid is just like That Flamboyant Gay Kid but like…Chris Colfer himself said it best, Kurt is a “tough guy in designer clothes.” That is so true and I LOVE that. Being Burt Hummel’s son there’s no way Kurt *isn’t* going to be a tough guy lol. Even as he is emotional and sensitive, and even as he loves girl songs and “girl clothes,” he doesn’t take anybody’s shit. This kid fucking balls out told Karofsky to hit him, and tried to fight those guys himself in “Bash.” And god, his emotions are all just so clear on his face. Chris does such an amazing job portraying his pain, all his scenes where he cries really put me right there with him, especially when Burt is sick :( :( :( ugh baby

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not:

Man there are a lot of these lol

Starting with Brittany…forever not understanding why they took the whole “dumb” thing as far as they did. She *maybe* could’ve had potential had they let her graduate instead of holding her back, but in season 4 she just tanked. Second year senior Brittany was the worst!!! When we see during the s3 prom episode that she’s failing all her classes…like why, just why, couldn’t they have made her intelligence consistent enough for all of us to believe she and Santana had a coherent relationship as equals.

It was hard for me to dislike her at first because some of her antics were actually cute. Her scene with Kurt when they plan for his campaign posters was one of my favorite moments. In season 2 she was one of my favorite characters; I loved the way she dressed and all the weird shit with Lord Tubbington (same tbqfh lol). But yeah, the tipping point for me was that she didn’t see a problem at fucking all with releasing a sex tape of Santana on the internet, especially after what Santana had been through being outed. WTF! They totally downplayed what I think Santana’s real reaction would’ve been, too. It should’ve been A Crisis, but somehow they tried to cover it up by being like “oh, but she got you a cheer scholarship!!!” fuck out of my face Glee writers lol

Also it hurts me to say this but Tina is on this list, she was my #1 favorite glee girl tied with Rachel up until the first ep of season 4. I honestly don’t even accept that that was her, she was replaced by her evil twin lol. Seriously though, it confuses me to no end how they made her and Mike break up suddenly, I don’t even ship them like that but I loved what that relationship showed about Tina’s maturity. The scene where she goes to confront Mike’s father was probably one of my favorites of hers. I didn’t even really watch the New Directions parts of s4 but I did catch bits of the whole Blaine thing and like…whyyyyyyyyyyyy. If you’re gonna break her up with Mike at least put her back with Artie!!!

Also, when I watched Glee like 3-4 years ago, I really liked Finn, but…every time I rewatch these days…yikes, just no

It feels wrong to say that because of Cory Monteith, but yeah Finn is like That Straight White Guy everyone gives cookies to because he lifts a pinky to be progressive every blue moon…and he was pretty sexist towards Rachel for most if not all of their relationship…but yeah like I said, it’s hard to even say all of this because even if I don’t like who Finn is as a character, Cory did an amazing job portraying him. And I do like how Finn and Kurt’s relationship develops. Even if like I said, Finn doesn’t deserve cookies for it, I loved the way they ended up loving each other.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:

So like…Klaine…but I still ship the fuck out of them pre-season 3. Give me all the fics from back in their Warbler days, all of them. I still maintain that no matter how Klaine ended up, it was still so, so rewarding to see Kurt *finally* win in season 2. He’d been through so much, and Blaine’s confession to him was so sweet, and the two of them at prom was just the best. We were going in such a good direction and I was melting and Darren was so fine and then…womp.

The writers of this show fucked up royally in my book by making Blaine #1 younger than Kurt (bullshit, watch season 2 and tell me Kurt isn’t the younger one lol) and #2, a cheater!!! (bonus #3: the hairgel…how can hairgel make a man like Darren look so ugly lol)

Kurt shouldn’t have taken him back. At first the writers were doing well with his reaction, but when they got back together, I doubted that he’d be so quick to give in and forgive, just because “true love” and “some time has passed.” Kurt is an idealist and all, but he’s also logical. To me, what did Blaine even *do,* with his actions, to *really* show it wouldn’t happen again?

I was so fucking loving single!Kurt in season 4, for the opportunity for him to start over. And be really accepted and cherished and appreciated as an adult, by fine ass men like Adam (and potentially Elliot…but no…also that one burglar lol). I will say though, I did love the bit at the wedding where K and B were friends with benefits; that was realistic and I loved seeing Kurt realize he was in control and in charge, making Blaine wait. It seemed like such a cop out, and lazy writing, in the end for him to just accept Blaine’s proposal.

Things got semi realistic again when they started fighting about Blaine moving in in NY. And then again when they broke up at the end of season 5. They did have some sweet moments while they were living together, too; the whole bit where they sang that duet in the apartment, and Kurt finding the porn on his laptop and the honest discussion they ended up having about it, and the way they made up afterwards (hot).

BUT the whole relationship was just hard to support for me because Blaine became so clingy and obsessed after Eli c., like LOL your guilt is so painfully obvious bb. I was so gd annoyed when he burst into Elliot’s apartment like “I LOVE KURT, I LOVE HIM!!!!” like bitch have several seats! lol. Kurt was never that possessive over him. Kurt’s confrontations with Sebastian were pretty levelheaded, considering how upset he was at things.

This isn’t Blaine wank by the way, I love Blaine (a lot). I think he’s a fascinating person with a lot of flaws and he messes up a lot, and that’s okay. I love messed up characters, that’s why I love Sebastian (and Rachel). I just wish they’d allowed these two individual characters to be individual characters instead of just Klaine. I would’ve killed to see Blam actually happen, or Seblaine actually happen, or just some kind of example of what Blaine’s sexuality without Kurt would’ve been like. Eli c. was a total throwaway and an obvious slapdash attempt at adding “drama” to the boring endgame ship.

my ultimate favorite character™:

Kurt, Kurt, Kurt (see above)

prettiest character:

tie between Tina/Jenna and Rachel/Lea 💘

my most hated character:

Puck is just awful dude, the only time he was marginally likeable was when he was dating Zizes, otherwise, nothing redeemable (and it turns out Mark is a piece of shit too so)

my OTP:

Kurt/Sebastian and Tina/Rachel

Enemies to lovers is my ultimate fucking weakness, and probably my favorite facial expression Kurt ever made, was That Look he gave Sebastian all sizing him up when they first met. That utter “who the fuck is this pretty bitch” look, even thoug he’s smiling all prideful and fighter in spite. And then that flash of the camera we get to Sebastian, who has a similar Look on his face like “ah, so this is The Boyfriend.” Then they shake hands and it it sooooo fake-cordial, and the first word Kurt ever says to him is “Pleasure.” I’ll fucking say you two, lol

Honestly a lot of the reason I ship this is because Chris and Grant had such strong on screen chemistry, even just for those few fleeting moments. They really made the most and put alot into those scenes,  like that one scene they have alone in the Lima Bean was electric and just pure fucking bantering GOLD. “You smell like Craigslist” was one of the best things Kurt ever said imo, along with “I’m sorry I couldn’t hear you, I was distracted by your giant horse teeth.” What I like especially about their scene in “Hold Onto Sixteen” though is the fact that they’re both grinning stupid fucking wide the entire time. All fake sweet and “lol I’m going to fucking murder you” (at least, that was clearly Kurt’s thought lol).

I maintain that Sebastian didn’t actually hate Kurt all that much, was just matching him where he was at and was genuinely enjoying the opportunity to trade barbs with someone as witty as him. When I write about this ship in alternatue universes, that’s what it comes down to in the end: Kurt and Seb are both equally sharp, smart, confident, and sure of themselves, and I think this would make them incredible partners, once that “””hatred””” and sexual tension disappated into mutal respect, lovemaking lol ;P

And Then: I ship Tina and Rachel for a lot of the same reasons I ship Kurtbastian actually. As two of the original glee girls, they’ve always kind of been competitors. I like to imagine them most early on in like s1/s2 days, with Tina still deep in her goth phase and Rachel the pretty preppy girl, and Tina kinda scaring Rachel on purpose with her edge and #thatattitude lol, and Rachel acting like she’s not into Tina’s whole dark stint, but secretly wanting all up in it. And Tina finding Rachel annoying and self-centered, but also always looking up to her for her bravery and her voice. That episode where they switched places was Everything to me…

And yeah it honestly started out as a crack ship for me, I wanted them both to be in my WIP Should Be An Interesting Year individually, but wasn’t going to pair them, and then I thought…omg wait, this would be so fun, in canon they kind of bicker and struggle to really be friends, and they’re both so cute and stubborn and omg. So then I started writing it and now I am in love.

my NOTP:

God here we go lol

As I’ve said, after the disco episode/the sex tape, Brittana fucking swiftly became my #1 NOTP (see above)

Will/Emma, Emma deserves so much better. He was so back and forth about his support for her OCD; occasionally he was kind of amazing about it, but other times he was a total dick!

Artie/Kitty, what a waste when they could’ve very easily put Tina and Artie back together!!!

Quinn/Puck, in season 3 watching her be suddenly interested in him again was absolutely the worst, least in character thing they ever did for her

Quinn/any dude honestly sucks. I was so stoked to see her hook up with Santana in s4, it made a lot of sense and would certainly explain all The Looks they have her giving Rachel (I seriously can’t tell if that was direction, or just Dianna adding those looks of longing on herself, or just total accidents lol I don’t know). Wish they had kept her in f/f pairings from Santana on :/

Sue/any dude, Sue is obviously a lesbian and should’ve been with Roz (for that enemies to lovers shit I love again, but okay I did kinda ship her and Cooper for the lulz)

favorite episode:

I have three. The First Time will always, always be #1. If I could rewrite the show from TFT on…I swear. Kurt was just so vulnerable and sweet, so was Blaine, they both had such relatable, painful, and believable emotions throughout the entire arc. Chris and Darren killed that shit son. I will never be over how goddamn fucking cute their little nuzzles were as “One Hand, One Heart” played. Sebastian back then, too, had so much potential. To be more than the one dimensional villain they ended up making him (until the very last minute, but then we never really got to see what came of him!) Honestly a lot of the reason I love this episode is because we meet another gay character (and another gay world, via Scandals), who is different entirely from Kurt, Blaine and Karofsky. He seemed like such a good fit for where the show seemed to be going, and then of course like Grant is fine as fuck and for him to being playing such a playboy of a character..I was so pleased lol

Anyway my next favorite is the never before seen Christmas episode, because I am So Here for Kurt being slutty with bisexual Santas!!! Also Santana’s stint at Mrs. Claus was one of the funniest moments from her, and I loved her and Rachel’s dynamic throughout the whole episode.

And Tested is my next favorite. God, so many good things here. I absolutely loved the depth we got to see in Mercedes in this episode. It was so IC that she was saving herself for marriage, and that she wasn’t going to compromise for Sam. I loved Artie being part of the New York crew and him being popular in film school was cool to see; I totally knew Guys Like Him in college lol. And then of course, the Kurt and Blaine aspect. Kurt being The New Alpha Gay and doing pushups in his underwear and all the guys fawning over his body, and Blaine watching him wiping Cheeto dust all over his fucking sweatpants lmfao. Timeless and classic.

saddest death:

there is still absolutely no reason they had to kill Jean like why did they do that to me

favorite season:

season 2, and the second half of season 5 (from New, New York to that finale).

least favorite season:

what the FUCk was season 6 dude lol, like what a waste of everybody’s time and how unrealistic for Kurt and Rachel AND Blaine to go back to Lima (also LMFAO forever at Blainofsky). I was so pissed at the sudden change in locale, cause I was absolutely LOVING the back half of season 5, it was like watching the college AU fanfiction I’d always wanted to read, about all the new directions I cared about.

And honestly what a disappointing turn for Rachel. We finally saw her where she’d always really wanted to be, in New York as Fanny, I LOVEd, lovedlovedloved a million times over, her Broadway arc and her dealing with fame and trying to control her ego, and mourning over Finn god it was all so perfect. I don’t believe for one second she would’ve gone back to Lima.

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: Finn I guess? There was a lot of wank about him back in the day though

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave:

Okay Sebastian. Canon!Sebastian sucks so bad but I’ve developed all these headcanons and backstories, so now when I see him in his few episodes, I get all these feelings lol

And as I’ve said I absolutely loved his first appearance, Grant did a perfect job delivering those one liners and punches, showing Seb’s lil fuckin attitude, “apparently he’s sex on a stick and sings like a dream,” LOL forever.

But yeah I do hate how terrible they ended up making him in Michael, though. Kurtbastian’s my OTP and I ship Seblaine too, but it was real hard for me to warrant doing so for both after Sebastian tried to blind Kurt ;/

Because of that I live in this happy alternative universe where Michael didn’t happen and my ships are free to sail 8) And then honestly, I skipped all of his appearances after season 3. I refuse to accept that he wasn’t a senior like Kurt

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave:

Santana honestly. Brittany was so wishy washy with her and I was so happy when she got with someone like Dani. Her coming out to her abuela was one of the hardest episodes to watch for me, because I had a similar experience with my mom. My heart broke. It was frustrating to watch Santana sometimes because she could be so slapdash about her own future, instead of doing what was right she went with her gut which turned out fantastically sometimes, but other times, ended up in failure for her. I loved when she was in New York for example, but hated that she ended up leaving because of Brittany.

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship:

Obviously my otp Kurtbastian but also…fight me…Finn/Kurt. They’re not actually related!!!

Also Kurt/Rachel, I know okay, I know, but there was this really convincing fic I read once, and okay I’m gonna bury myself now

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Blaine/Sam Sam/Mercedes

Finding Kurt Hummel: Props

Masterpost

3x20: Props

I have such a love-hate relationship with this episode.  On the one hand, they did one of the best things the show ever did with the bodyswaping stuff.  On the other, we get twenty minutes of Rachel stalking Carmen Tibideaux and Tina bowing down at the alter that is Rachel.  And interestingly, this episode really cuts in half, as the first half actually has to do with getting ready for nationals, and the second half is solely about Rachel and Tina, and the Puck/Beiste story lines.  The nice part is that Kurt doesn’t have to do much with either of those plot lines, so I can skip a bunch of it.  Whoot!

Gender Identity

So -- we open this episode with Sue dragging Kurt and Mercedes in her office to talk about Unique becoming the darling of the show choir world.  Sue believes it’s because a gimmicky boy dressing up as a girl thing, and blames Kurtcedes for the idea (even though it was hers).  I love the constant confusion on Mercedes’s face during this scene.  Kurt follows her a little more, and is a bit more annoyed by the whole thing.  

I’d like to take a second and say yay! for the return of Kurtcedes.  Not that they really do anything together in this scene, but I always like to point out that their friendship is far from over.  :) 

Anyway, the crux of Sue’s big idea is that she wants Kurt to dress up like a girl.  And Kurt is just not having it.  

Kurt: Just because I’m gay does not mean I like to dress up as a woman.

And Kurt getting straight to the point.  As stated in Saturday Night Gleever -- there’s a difference between being gay and being transgender, or being transgender and liking to cross dress.  I think, also, leading to conversations about the difference between expression and identity.  It’s kind of cool that Glee is presented these ideas and having this narrative -- especially since this is before transgender became the forefront of public conversation. 

Mercedes points out that Kurt dressed up as a woman for Halloween.  And hold on, let’s take a second and talk about this little bit of brilliance.  Remember when this came out, and there was a still, and we couldn’t figure out who was standing with Darren for a half second? Lol.  I love this little tidbit so much -- I’m sad we never really got a Halloween episode.  I’m sad we didn’t get more Klaine couples outfits.  I’m sad we didn’t get conversations Klaine had about their couples outfits.  Man...  

But I digress.  Kurt’s argues that Halloween costume is just that -- and he’s not going to go on stage in a dress, because that’s not who he is, no matter how many kilts he owns ;) 

As we get into Nationals discussion with the whole group, Sue still insists that Kurt will be featured -- in the Trouble Tones number (!!!) -- as he dresses up as a girl.  Kurt’s still not having it.  I also love that Blaine is totally WTF, Sue in this scene. 

There’s also a beat after this that just cracks me up -- where Sue says something offensive like -- you’ll do as you’re told he-she.  Kurt, omg, devil glare if I ever saw one.  But it’s Blaine’s reaction that’s priceless.  He’s like -- wait, what did you just say? Yeah, no, Kurt is not that. 

As Sue calls Kurt a transsexual.  OMG, Sue, stop.  

Anyway -- we get into the ‘props’ part of the episode, and where this plot line recycles season 1 Hairography.  But, I will say, this entire scene has a lot of hilarious little beats in it, and totally worth watch in its entirety. 

Also -- we get into Tina ripping down Will, and then ripping down Rachel.  I’m so, so sorry we get a complete 180 of her by the end of the episode because this part is so brilliantly done, and so meta on a lot of levels, it’s unbelievable. But GAAAAHHHH the backtracking.  Don’t get me started!! (I’ve just noticed this episode was written and directed by Ian Brennan.  No wonder I want to throw things at it.) 

Body-Swapping

Before we get into the brilliant body swapping stuff, we get this mini-Klaine scene, where Blaine is reiterating Kurt’s earlier point -- being gay does not mean automatic enjoyment of crossdressing, or identifying as another gender.  I’m kind of endeared by how indignant Blaine is on Kurt’s behalf.  If I had to guess, they’ve been talking about it all day, (week?).  

Also -- can we take a second and adore that Kurt and Blaine are sitting in massage chairs in the mall just hanging out.  I kind of wish we had gotten to see more of this daily life side of their relationship.  

Anyway -- so Tina comes along, and is rightfully pissed off at Mike for defending Rachel.  I mean, yeah, dude, have some pride in your girlfriend.  And the Tina slips into the water fountain and hits her head, and then we get the brilliant spot in the episode.  

Yes -- that’s right -- Finn and Puck are now Kurt and Blaine.  America have you shit yourself yet, lol?  

Alright, so let’s talk about this a second.  I know it’s Tina’s fantasy, but I think there are some interesting things going on here.  

First of all, Cory was fantastic as Kurt -- he goes for that high voice and that poised look, and while he’s a little too tall and gangling to pull it off, I love it, it’s awesome.  I’m not entirely sure what Mark Salling is doing with Blaine -- is it a William Shatner version of Blaine? Lol -- I think it lends itself more on the parody side of things, but I’m still entertained.  I’m a little sad Darren didn’t get to do much as Puck, sadly.  

Anyway -- it’s interesting here that they bring up the whole Dance With Somebody scandal.  Blaine’s still got issues and Kurt tries to comfort him, yet they’re kind of bickering about it (while being endearing as Finn-Kurt brushes dirt off Puck-Blaine’s shoulder).  I know this is Tina’s fantasy -- but it’d be interesting if there was some basis of reality there -- that it’s not all about Blaine the best and dutiful boyfriend, that all wasn’t patched up in Emma’s office.  There are little cracks there that are going to lead into season four’s break ups.  It’s kind of fascinating.  I’m just sorry that the show has to play it off in this way, as comedic, and in someone’s fantasy.  

Let’s take a second and talk about Chris playing Finn.  And how utterly amazing it is.  He just nails the mannerisms and speech pattern.  OMG -- I love everything about this little moment.  It’s perfect.  

I’m not a big fan of this song, but man, it’s worth watching over and over just to see how everyone portrays everyone else.  It’s so much fun.  And Kudos to Jane and Matt who really outdo themselves in flipping Will and Sue.  

So -- we get Finn-Kurt and Puck-Blaine looking all lovey at each other and, gasp, holding hands.  Now, I’ve done how many of these now?  Do you know how man times the real Kurt and Blaine have held hands during someone’s solo? Zero.  In fact, the one time it looks like they do more than look at each other, it was cut.  

Aaannd, here’s where you can tell Glee is pushing to see how far they can go.  Don’t get me wrong, I love this moment, and giggle every time I see it, because it is a cute/funny moment.  But -- I think it’s a statement, too.  Because apparently the show can do m/m affection when it’s funny, just not when it’s serious.  And, yeah, that is frustrating.  And actually, I’d like to point out that Mercedes and Artie and Brittany and Santana are even more all over each other, and kiss at one point during this song.  So yes -- this is why I think the censors were all over gay affection in season three.  Because they got away with it here, and the show went out of its way to purposely make a joke out if it. 

So yeah, after some plot related Tina-Rachelnes, we’re back to reality.  As fun as it was, I would not trade in the real Klaine. 

Props

All I can think about is controlled danger.  That’s not a Kurt look.  That’s a Chris look.  Lol.  

This is also another little scene with a lot of hilarious little bits.  I’m so sad the second half of this episode is so awful, because the first half is amazing. 

As Will relearns what he was taught in Hairography, Sue insists, again, that Kurt dress up as a girl.  Man, this is getting old, tbh.  But I’m assuming it’s set up for Puck coming in dressed as a woman? At least Kurt seems to have some kind of idea that doesn’t involve welding. 

It actually involves more showchoir spying.  Man, this feels almost like a season 1 Kurt throwback, though I suppose season 2 is when Kurt first started his showchoir spying. Lol.  At least he seems to be better in his second attempt. 

Kurt’s stolen them some footage of Vocal Adrenaline rehearsing.  I love that Kurt’s redone the footage in black and white because he worships The Artist.  Also -- they do the human centipede that looks suspiciously like a specific sex move, and something Blaine claims looks ‘not that hard’.  Fantastic.  

Man, how many eye rolls can Kurt give to Sue in this episode.  Anyway, this is the scene where Puck comes in dressed up as a girl -- because a real man can wear a dress, or some such nonsense.  I kind of wish we saw Kurt’s reaction to the whole thing, but we don’t.  

And this is smack dab in the middle of the episode.  After this, it all goes down hill as we get Rachel brainwashing Tina, and continuation of the Puck/Beiste story.  This episode is so weirdly paced, because it was going so well in the first half, and this second half is just -- not great.  The Puck/Beiste stuff works more so, but was barely set up in the first half of the episode.  It’s so weird.  

The nice thing is that I get to skip all of it, because Kurt (and everyone who is not Rachel, Tina, Puck, and Beiste) is not involved. 

Flashdance to Nationals

And now we’re at the end of the episode -- where Kurt’s listening to Sam’s impressions as Rachel spouts off about their different personality aspects are what makes them unique, ya de da.  I’m a little preoccupied with Kurt’s hoodie.  I think this it’s the most casual thing we’ve seen him wear up to this point, and I’m slightly fascinated by it.  

Rachel and Tina flashdacne their way onto the bus to nationals.  Kurt doesn’t turn around at any point, but I can recognize that shimmy dance anywhere, lol.  Alright guys -- we’re almost at the end of season 3!

TW Ep 6.07

Okay, here we go!

The beginning was actually pretty interesting. Because it was just Theo, lol. He was hallucinating his sister ripping his heart out over and over. It was gross and kind of heart-wrenching (sorry!). He had actual tears in his eyes as he told his sister it was okay she could kill him as many times as she wanted. 

Then YIKES it turned into Malia, well, being Malia, and trying to kill him while he was out of it, with the rest of the Scooby gang standing around watching [StickyNote: So  Malia attacked someone who was incompacitated? That doesn’t sound like her at all! /intensesarcasm]. Then the One True Leader decides to finally step in and stop her from mauling Theo.

Scoot says put him back in the ground [StickyNote: So all the other villains are worth saving and rehabbing, but not the ones who actually one-upped Scott?  You guys, this world DESERVES him!] , Scrappy Doo, I mean Liam, says no way, Satomi [StickyNote: omg PLEASE let him have said Satomi and not Noshiko, lol!]  gave me the sword not you, yadda yadda yadda, who cares. (2.0 don’t listen to Scott at ALL!) Liam insists Theo is of us because he remembers Stiles and the Dread Doctors knew about the Wild Hunt, which does not follow that Theo knows as well, but whatever.  Coyote Ugly pipes up that she remembers Stiles too! [StickyNote: Specifically what he  looks like sleeping.]  And so does Scott and Lydia, so there! Do what she says or else, basically.

It went from being vaguely interesting to dead boring with a flash of Malia’s skanky claws.

Scott starts spouting things that one of the writers got off the fan pages about how can they trust Theo, because when they did before look what happened! Liam points out Scott made mistakes as the Alpha (bless him) and Scott agrees, but still wants his own way, blah blah blah. Typical TW writer recycled bs or appropriated from fan pages, so we’ve heard all that already or thought of it ourselves. Never and original thought with that crew!

Cut to the Stlinski home. Sheriff goes into the room and Dead Claudia pops up out of nowhere and tells him to come out (she noticeably doesn’t go inside) and tries to tell him he’s being cray to suppose they had a son and why don’t they just pretend the room’s not there.  [StickyNote: Also, HOW DID THEY NOT NOTICE THIS ROOM!?  IT HAS WINDOWS!!  WHAT DID THEY THINK WHEN THEY WERE OUTSIDE?!?]

We all saw the bit about Theo being walked like a dog, the stupid dialog that went with it. (At this point I noticed everyone keeps saying ‘ride the lightning’ like it means something. It probably means nothing at all because it’s TW!) Theo cannot believe how stupid they are. It was complete filler. Cody looked good, but that’s about it.  

They hook up with the rest of the McCall Fail Pack and find another secret lair in the woods which happens to have a huge ass transformer in it. They spout some bad science about how they’ll be able to trap a Ghost Rider behind a chain-link cage and some mountain ash. (We need a Hale eyeroll gift, istg.)

They should all be dead. Except Theo, who can still not believe how stuipd they are.

So then we go on to Melissa and Malia abusing Peter in the hospital even though Melissa said he was burned over 90% of his body and Malia should probably say her goobyes. Malia wants him dead, of course. Malia wants everybody dead so big surprise, but she agrees that if he helps them get back to the train station she…won’t try to make him fully dead? Her part of that deal was not clear. Again, big surprise.

Melissa said he always has a devious plan to hurt everyone around him. NOT TRUE!! He always has a devious plan to benefit Peter Hale, hurting *select* individuals around him is a side bonus!

Melissa injecta him with the SEVEN HERBS, which I guess is the magical cure all now, and Peter has a very painful recovery with the the health care professional and his daughter just standing there watching him scream with their souless eyes.  [StickyNote: So... mistletoe, poinsetta, mountain ash, wolfsbane, bleach, garlic and chocolate?]

Now we have Lydia was laying on the bed (making her boob job very noticeable) and Natalie comes in to talk. Lyida tells her about the woman in Cannan (I don't think she told her the woman was a banshee) and puts out her theory that the woman 'conjured’ her son to fill the VOID (void kept being oddly stressed, like VOID STILES, GET IT? GET IT?!!) Oddly enough, this is almost the Natalie I remember from the old days and I liked this scene.

Now comes the major stupidity - True Alpha Pack and the GR.

Scott is the worst. He lets Theo get hurt so he can steal the GR’s gun. Send Mason and his Boo (the two most vulnerable) with Baby Selena out into the woods and the storm where the other non-captured GR’s are, then Alpha roars at the GR in the cage like that was supposed to do something, which because this is TW, it did! *eyeroll* The GR sort of takes notice of Scott, which of course his crew mentions, “It must be because you’re the Alpha!” because god forbid we should forget that important point.

Sheriff has called Lydia over about the room. Said it was on the blueprints, it was there when they moved in 18 years ago, and how could they have forgotten it.  Lydia starts seeing stiles stuff in the room, which is not in the right place because it ain’t their house! (They start with the bed of course, throwing the stydia’s a bone. Ugh.)

Sheriff says, “I don’t understand how you knew this was here. If you want to discuss the possibility that I had a son, I’m listening.” I got some eye moisture at that line, Linden gave Stilinski Family Feels again. Then they ruin the emotional build up they had going but cutting back to the Idiot Squad. *sigh*

Mason apparently has special Boo-Vision where he can see Cory when no one else can because of light refraction and possibly pheremones, lol. It was adorable. They so in love. 

Then they ruin that special moment with Mason spouting some TW leap of logic about how the Ghost Rider must have been trying to talk to Parrish at the party because he was a Hellhound! Whu? They pulled that out of their ass, and poor Khylin could not pull that off.

And we’re back to Lydia and the Sheriff, where he is now starting to not believe her because that would mean that Claudia is not real, that he 'conjured’ her up, which makes sense because she was his biggest loss. Except now it’s Stiles, and he replaced Stiles in his mind with the dead wife who they both loved.  [StickyNote: But wasn’t the kid last week a trade off from the GR’s?  Does Lydia know that? Why are they going with this “made up a physical person” thing?]

Then Lydia sees his jersey and helmet, and squeezes out that tear when she picks it up and smells it, but the Sheriff doesn’t see it and tells her she cray. She tells him he’s afraid to remember because he loved stiles. Then she threw the jersey at him (in slow-mo of course) and he caught it and now knows Stiles is real. (I got wet eyes again. STLINISKIS COME BACK TO ME!! I will fight everyone about my Stilinski Family Feels!)

[StickyNote: Wait, she  remembers the  Jersey so it comes back, but it takes the sheriff touching it for it to be real? What?  Oh man this is gonna be stupid.]

The 2.0 dumb asses bring Parrish to the GR, who immediately fixates on him, which is so not a good idea, but you know, dumb asses! They ask Parrish to ask the GR how to get everyone back. Like, seriously McCall Pack? He’s going to tell you?

Peter and Malia go into the preserve, which is Hale property, [StickyNote: Didn’t they put up condos? ] which they seem to have forgotten because they show their 'preserve closed’ sign, and Malia is stupid and says that bs about Stiles being her anchor. Peter tries to apply actual logic, but Malia don’t understand that shit and ignores him.

Back to Idiot Pack, trying to question the GR. The GR is all, we don’t give nothing back! Losers! Then Scott speech-ifies in a Hero Moment about how *he* will get everyone back from them and won’t stop until he does. GR retaliates by activating Parrish, lol!

Back to Peter and Malia, blah blah blah, then Peter hears the GRs and tells her to run. Also 2.0 pack is in the woods for whatever reason. Scott and Liam wrestle Parrish to the ground outside because they suddenly have that ability and to hell with season 5!  Nazi Werewolf shows up (Hauptman!) out of nowhere and he and Theo exchange stupid dialog with Theo going, 'Are you going to tell them who you are?; and NWW basically saying STFU, Theo. Theo has also been left alone with the GR because of dramatic plot reasons! NWW hurts Theo (sticks his claws in Theo’s back and hauls him around like that, poor baby!) to make him break the mountain ash. NWW implies that he’s met the GR before and then kills him! Which, WTF?! He bites GRs brain and eats the gland and steals the GR’s whip. Parrish runs off into the woods in his fireproof Under Armor, and the GR that was about to reclaim Peter also goes WTF?! when he feels his brother GR die and gallops off, leaving Peter still on this side of gateway.

The McCall brain trust immediately blame Theo for the dead GR, but backtrack when they sort of apply logic (it takes all of them to puzzle it out), then crazy NWW either kills poor Cory or sends him to the UpsideDown.

The End.

I thought you needed all this because I’m sure a lot of this mess has to do with Will’s epic episode next week! UGH!!!

Thank you for your service, boo!
