Sorry but as someone in New Zealand who hasn't watched the episode yet but HAS seen the Eddie Spoilers: As much as I hate cheating storylines, holy shit this is the funniest possible outcome.

Maybe I'll change my mind once I see the episode but something about Eddie cheating on his girlfriend with his dead wife's doppelganger while buck is at home with Chris being second parent is something straight out of a crack fanfic and you cannot convince me otherwise

i’ve gotten to only human (so good holy shit) and i’m fucking SCREAMING over dean showing up to ben and jesse sleeping together in the truck. funniest possible outcome ever

yeahahahaha thank YEW. "sleeping with a demon" on supernatural yet again.............................

[cashewally-sarcastic]

Jean: well, technically, though the people rule themselves mostly (she starts explaining government in the most “from the textbook” way possible)

NB: Sounds like a great guy. Wish I knew who he was.

(Later when NB is dying: I can die happy knowing my actions have led to the funniest outcome. The little guy who jingles when happy and gets zoomies when you feed him an apple becomes a god. THE god of the people. Holy shit. Lmao even.)

okay so you know the ley line stuff with Ruu? I think it would be funny if there was a ley line disorder on stormterror's lair and the mondstadt gang had to watch a time loop of a person that looks and sounds like Venti constantly dying. Venti isn't saying anything cause he's more focused on making sure none of the leyline juice gets into the remains of Decarabian (It hurts seeing his old friends but its been so long that he's made peace with it. Like how an eraser damages the paper's surface).

Traveler is like: Oh i've seen this before. Let's rule of four this!!!

The KoF going into the ley line past ^^^

“Wow wouldn’t it be funny if [says one of the most gut-wrenching things you’ve ever heard]” -steel

Idk man because if it’s NB who’s the center of the leyline issue then like…he’d see Traveler (and the people around so KoF and Venti) and that would probably cause so many emotions/questions on his end. Why does someone look like him? Is that Gunnhildr? Who is the blonde person? Did Decarabian die?

But also if there’s no center of the leyline and it’s just “oops leyline fucked up lmao” (like the hidden strife event) then some historians would have a field day recording all that stuff

Frozen Heart - ch10

In this penultimate chapter, Tony tells Loki exactly what he thinks about Loki’s Jotun form, and Loki... can’t cope with this level of adoration.

Read from the beginning on AO3 if you prefer!

Loki took solace in the fact that he was still here with Tony, that he didn’t have to flinch every time he caught sight of himself in any reflective surfaces, he was finally back in the body he had worn his entire life.

But he had to admit, as they compared his Aesir form with the Jotun, that it had been a mask to wear, and one that fitted ill. After a month of living in his Frost Giant skin, slowly becoming accustomed to it and not startling every time he saw blue, after a week of finding his true magic, this body now felt like a poorly made shoe. He ached in odd joints, old pains that he remembered flaring up every so often his whole life, but which had been entirely absent during his time as a Jotun. He tired much more easily, compared to his marathon science sessions over the past few weeks, and he felt unbearably stuffy and hot some days.

But Tony didn’t have to use the blankets to lean against him on the sofa any more. And his eyes were no longer a freakish red. Surely that was worth the sluggishness of his magic? He had lived with it for so long, surely he could go back to that?

And then, one day, after eight long hours of testing the interface of magic and AI, Loki, exhausted, had slipped back into his Jotun form. The first he knew of it had been Tony’s exclamation as he stared at the magic imager. “Hey! It’s back!”

Loki looked down at his hands and dropped the circuit board. His hands were blue again. He quickly dug deep and tried to heave his Aesir form back up and over himself again, but it would not come.

Tony poked his head around. “What ha-- oh, woah! You’re blue again. I just noticed the patterns were back in your magic and I… oh, Loki, no, it’s ok! Don’t worry, it’s OK, I’m sure it’s just… what is it?”

He rushed over to Loki and held his shoulders as Loki shrank into himself, turning his face away. Surely by now Tony had got used to his rightful Aesir form, he would be disgusted at Loki’s red eyes and ugh, the horns again.

But Tony was touching his chin, tugging his face gently back around to him. “Hey, I know you hate it. But… look, don’t take this the wrong way, OK? But I think you’re magic’s stronger when you’re blue. It’s certainly more clear, more crisp. Is there any possibility this isn’t actually a curse?”

Loki stared at him in horror - how could he have worked it out? But Tony was still squeezing his arms gently, comfortingly.

“How can you say that?” Loki croaked. “I am… this face, this… this form. It’s horrific!”

Tony laughed. “It’s anything but! Look… come here, please, just… trust me, OK?” He tugged Loki over to the glass walls of the lab. “JARVIS, mirror them, would you please?”

Loki turned his face, squeezing his eyes shut, hunching his shoulders, just to get away from the awful sight he made. But Tony shushed. “C’mon, Lokes. Look at yourself for a minute, will you? Look: this blue? That’s incredible, you know? That’s like, the bluest blue there is, and it’s all overyou. You’re entirely royal blue. Except for these bits.” He ran his finger up one of the pale lines on Loki’s forearm, and Loki gasped. “Sorry. Tickles, huh? These are just… fascinating. I love the feel of them - I love the feel of your skin. It’s ice-cube cold, but dry and soft and just… and your lips are black. Your gums, your nails, your horns. Your horns are damn cool, by the way, just saying, they’re kickass. Your eyes are black around the edges, it’s like you’ve got eyeliner on and… wow. Look at your eyes, Loki, they’re so cool! They’re all red, but it’s like, there’s a different shade over your iris.”

He had his fingers resting on Loki’s cheekbone as he described Loki to himself, his eyes darting over his face, cataloguing all the sins against nature that Loki despised, but Tony… Tony seemed to find nothing wrong with them. His fingers ran up to slide through Loki’s hair, brushing at the base of Loki’s horns, and he found his eyes fluttering shut at the sensation, leaning into it desperately.

“You’re so beautiful, Loki,” said Tony softly.

With a whimper Loki pressed forwards, one hand curling around Tony’s waist, the other cupping his chin, tilting it up and kissing him, pushing all his love forward into him. Tony gasped, his mouth falling open in response and Loki brushed his tongue over the row of his teeth, groaning at the feel of warmth, of Tony, of oh Norns.

What have I done?

He threw himself backwards, one hand pushing outwards involuntarily. How could he? How could he do this to Tony? How could he steal a kiss from him, and when he was being so kind? How could he… he had just ruined everything, what had he been thinking?

And then he turned, and fell to his knees, because in his panic, he had frozen Tony Stark.

It felt like a hellish lifetime that he had knelt there before the frozen statue of the man he adored, nothing more than a screaming in his ears. He couldn’t move, couldn’t think, couldn’t bear to live with himself, just curled in on himself and screamed.

No matter what happened, this was the end of the comfort he had found with Tony, the end of their friendship. He had pushed so far past the limits of even Tony’s incredible kindness, frozen not only him, but his entire lab, frost blossoming out from him in streaks across the floor.

It was a long time before he could raise his head, before he could stand in front of Tony. He brushed the backs of his fingertips against Tony’s cheek, the ice sleek against his skin. “I’m so sorry, Tony,” he whispered. He hoped, prayed, that the instinctive spell had been the same one he had practiced before with Tony, freezing living plants and bringing them back, but he had never… would never have considered doing something so risky to a mortal. Especially not a mortal with a damaged heart.

He bit his lip and squeezed his eyes shut. He had to hope for the best, Tony’s return to full health was the only acceptable outcome. He had no hope that he would be forgiven. What he had done was unforgivable.

Still, before he spoke the spell, he leaned close, pressing his forehead against Tony’s one last time. “I’m sorry,” he said again. With a long, shuddering breath he released the magic, the most careful spell he had ever done. And with it, he imagined handing over the broken pieces of his frozen heart. Both in apology, and because it had belonged to Tony for some time already.

Tony gasped in air, his thawed hand falling to his side from where it had frozen up by his face. “Holy shit!”

Loki dropped to his knees once more, one hand pressed to the floor, his head low. “I cannot apologise enough, Tony. It will never--”

“We need to do that again!”

Loki’s head shot up and he stared at Tony. “What?”

Tony was breathing hard, like he’d been holding his breath, or running up a flight of stairs. “We’re doing that again,” he said softly, pulling Loki up to his feet. “The kiss, I mean,” he said, his soft brown eyes holding Loki’s and suddenly so serious. “I can do without being a statue, though, you know, I’ll do anything twice for science. But the kiss… did you mean it?”

“Did I mean it?” Loki squeaked. “Did I mean to kiss the kindest, most generous, funniest and intelligent person I have ever met?”

Tony’s grin broke across his face like the sunrise. He sank his fingers into Loki’s hair, rose on his tiptoes and brushed his nose across Loki’s cheek. “Can I kiss you back this time?” he said softly.

Loki wanted to cry. He wanted to worship whatever being had put Tony Stark in his way, wanted to beg forgiveness for everything he had ever done that might take Tony away from him, but instead, he kissed him once more.

[just-another-frender-blog]

It’s very difficult for me to do a top-five definitive pick, but I’ll try my best. These episodes are in no particular order. You also already said The Honking, Godfellas, Ghost in the Machines, and Hell Is Other Robots on your list, so that helps narrow things down for me. I’m also not going to count the movies as episodes, otherwise, I would’ve added Bender’s Big Score. 

Murder on the Planet Express: This episode is a perfect showcase of everything that makes Futurama great. Every character is characterized perfectly, and all the jokes are fantastic. I love the team-up matches so much. I love Fry and Bender murdering that guy at the end. I think their chemistry is especially well written in this episode and really reiterates why these two work so well together despite their differences. I love how Leela ATE Fry’s kidney. If that isn’t a girlboss moment, idk what is. This episode is also the origin of the Frender ship name (it used to be Fender, and I’m glad it’s not that anymore lmao). 

The Luck of the Fryish: I love the episodes about Fry’s family, especially how the story is structured. You have the A-plot (the present) and the B-plot (the past) woven together so seamlessly and the two plots connect at the end. I’m choosing this one for personal reasons. I live nine hours away from my family, meaning I spend a lot of time away from them. I have a younger sister who I fight with from time to time, but we still love each other. Fry and Yancy reminded me of my relationship with my sister, so this episode really hit close to home. The twist at the end was the best possible outcome for this episode. 

The Devil’s Hands Are Idle Playthings: Holy shit, where to begin. This episode is filled to the brim with insanely funny moments and very wholesome moments between all the characters. The part where the Robot Devil spins the wheel and you think it’s going to land on Bender, but it lands on him made me lose my mind. I’m convinced that moment has the best comedic timing out of any joke ever written. I love the songs in Futurama and this episode has some of the best music in the show with all the characters singing. It’s also my favorite “finale” out of the four, and would’ve been a perfect send-off had Futurama not been revived. I’m glad it did; while I loved this episode, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the characters yet. 

The Why of Fry: This is another one that hits close to home because I really connect with Fry. The dread of never amounting to anything is such a relatable struggle. That everyone around you is exceptional, and you’re just good for nothing. But Fry is exceptional; his broken brain allows him to be immune to all forms of mind control. And he realizes to find worth in himself during this episode, as well as regaining control over his own fate. I also love the concept of the main character’s disability being what gives him special abilities and I wish they played around with this more. As someone else on Tumblr once said: Futurama is a power fantasy for neurodivergent people.

The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz: I am obsessed with this episode, and I literally think about it all the time. Where do I even begin? This episode is one of the funniest in the entire show. It has some great commentary on environmentalism, but it doesn’t get overbearing. Leela joining the shitty eco-terrorist group and being way more competent than everyone is awesome. Fry getting pissed at Bender for being captain is one of my favorite moments in the show. Especially because Bender’s reaction is to cause a fucking oil spill out of despair. Bender giving Fry the nickname of Wiggles is adorable and cooking a “platonic” dinner for two is another standout moment. All the stuff with the penguins is fantastic and the funniest shit I’ve seen (I think that Bender has sex with one of them). Finally, the episode concludes with all the characters resolving their conflicts in a really sweet way. I could go on about how much I love this episode, but this is already getting too long. 

Not that anyone asked, but I wanted to compile a list of my top 5 favorite episodes of Futurama and see if anyone else had a similar list :D

5. Godfellas - I mean, who doesn’t love this episode. Bender floating alone in space playing God is just way too good of a plot line. I especially love it bc of how dedicated Fry is to find him. Something about that is just way too wholesome.

4. The Late Phillip. J Fry - This episode is just absolutely fantastic the entire way around. I think it is one of the coolest interpretations of time travel the show has done. I love the song, I love the way Leela thinks Fry stood her up and then died, and I love that they crack a 6 pack open to watch the world end. It’s just one of the best.

3. I Second That Emotion - This one I feel like is not on many people’s list, but something about it is just so great. Bender feeling actual human emotion really got me in this one. This was probably the episode where I decided Bender was my favorite character. Not only is it hilarious, but seeing Bender be vulnerable is really cool, and there’s a ton of funny jokes in it too. Fry screaming and then going “I burned my finger” is probably one of my favorite jokes ever.

2. The Honking - This was actually the first episode of Futurama I had ever seen. So, it instantly earns a place on this list. The insane amount of jokes in this episode earn it a high spot. The Shining references, Fry getting emo bc Bender picked Leela over him, Leela’s frozen meals joke, Bender being covered in transmission fluid instead of blood… the list goes on! It really holds a close place to my heart.

1. Hell is Other Robots - This episode I whole heartedly believe is the best Futurama has ever done. We are introduced to the Robot Devil, who is an incredible character, and see so much of the Beastie Boys; who I love. Not only that, but I think electricity addicted Bender is one of the funniest interpretations of his character ever. And then religious Bender… “who wants to come to my exceedingly long, un-airconditioned baptism ceremony” has to be one of the funniest jokes in the show. And to top it all off, the SONG!!!! I literally have the entire thing memorized because of just how much I’ve watched this episode. The way Fry and Leela work together to save Bender too is just too good. Overall, this episode is just incredible.

Some other runner ups include Silence of the Clamps, Lethal Inspection, and Ghost in the Machines.

I’d love to hear everyone else’s top 5!! :)))
