NEW GIRL REWATCH | 1.08, Bad in Bed

[somewhereincairparavel]

I just realised that Jason/Thalia largely parallel Nico/Bianca and now I'm sobbing. Remember in the ending of lost hero? Jason was anxiously waiting for Thalia to join the chb meeting saying "She promised, after all" he sounded just like a little Nico saying "where is my sister?"

Jason Grace , the high and mighty leader of Rome becoming such a soft lil bro to Thalia is just so heartbreaking and adorable :( the moment he saw her face he immediately knew she was family, he took her hand when she offered it to him with zero hesitation and hugged her, was enraged after she was turned into an ice statue, and was deeply pained when he found out she had a whole new life without him and that she most likely won't need him anymore but all the while still desperately wanting her to be there with him in chb, for moral support. Gosh he's such a puppy :')

Thalia was also SUCH a soft older sis too, there's this passage in the lost hero where jason went "But we've barely talked" bc she said she had to leave and her eyes soften at his kicked-puppy face. Also the only thing that calmed Thalia from blowing up at juno was jason grabbing her hand and calling her "sis" UGHH THEY ARE BOTH SO SOFT

there are so many kooky gadgets/effects in the alternative factor that we never see again :( it's a shame the episode is so hard to watch because a lot of time and effort must've gone into it :( also, i love when they film on location!!!

The anime vs manga difference is hilarious LOLLL

Anime yukiya is adorable but ngl manga yukiya has a favorite spot in my heart. He’s a literal baby crow giving people bombastic side eyes 😭😭😭 (I love the curly light brown hair as well ugh)

The Ballad of Sir Dinadan by Gerald Morris has some of the best aro/acespec rep I’ve ever read send tweet.

Ok so today I found out Nanbaka ended some time ago so I spoiled myself and man, the ending was so rushed and angst for no reason and overall disappointing??? The author threw very important lore info and a plot twist that felt all out of the blue near the ending... I love angst but when it is well written, and this was not. Their friendship was real, even if prior to the series start wasn't I know what I read was real friendship and this ending ruins for me one of the main themes of this show.

I don't post a lot about this series because I started it before I even had Tumblr but Nanbaka was everything to me back then. Even after I was forced to move on because the english translation stopped and finding all chapters fan translated was very difficult I'd find myself thinking about these characters sometimes and I almost dare to say that it was a comfort series. Not being able to keep reading it without going through a Odyssey was already upsetting but the ending? What in the actual fuck is that. Is not even the fact it was a sad ending what bothers me the most, it's that it was sad and felt bad written or without proper building 🙁

This literally summaries my opinion regarding what happened to the main group:

Now I feel bad? Bad like when you receive bad news irl? Like I've received a punch in the stomach or a betrayal from a dear old friend

If spy x family or yuu & grim (including all of their friends in twst) separate in the end I'm losing all hope of being happy and relaxing with this trope without fearing the chance of getting backstabbed again forever

God please let them stick together or I'm going to make you the same thing you have done with me

Rain went, "we should bond over our common interest," and then ask Sky if he ever thought of calling his boyfriend daddy.

This isn't even an incorrect quote, every unhinged lil gremlin of him.

And to Sky's defense, I would also rather drown in chlorinated water than tell a friend how i want to be debouched in bed.

Bless Rain. Truly one of a kind adorable walnut.

hello claire! i think it was thaks to you that i started watching smym so thank you so much for that because i really really enjoyed! (even the heartbreak), are you looking forward to any series with a similar vibe or do you have any recommendations? thank you 🤍

Awwww hi nonnie (❁��◡`❁)

Oooh this is a hard one but I guess if I had to make some recommendations, it'd be some series you may have already heard about but (maybe? hopefully?) haven't watched so I hope at least of these end up for your consideration on your to-watch list.

1. History 3: Trapped

I consider this the OG 'cop falls for criminal' BL series, dare i say - set the standard for modern mafia bl. It's got a great balance of romance, comedy, action for you to get sweeped into their story.

2. Laws of Attraction

From the same director and screenwriter as SMYM, this is a fast paced romance action drama features the most charming lawyer BL verse has ever known.

3. Master Of The House

If you enjoyed the investigation aspect of SMYM, I cannot recommend enough this Netflix Thai original thriller about a diamond tycoon's mysterious death. It may make you squirm as there are quite few disturbing assault scenes.

4. In Family We Trust

Also an investigation series featuring the death of a patriarch of a big Thai Chinese family. It is the most incredible suspense lakorn I've ever watched til this day and it features a strong cast full of veteran actors.

5. Under The Skin S1 and S2

Chinese bromance police procedurals are probably the closest in vibes you'll find to SMYM. I find that the cases in Under The Skin always have really good moral stories behind them and I enjoy the dynamic between the leads very much.

6. The First Shot

Here is another Chinese police procedural bromance that has a lot of unpredictable twists and reveals.

Honorable mention: Justice In The Dark

This cancelled/never finished airing dangai (censored bromance) series is like a piece of lost media but SMYM reminded me a lot of it so I will include it in this list just for the sake of it.

[panncakes]

just found out that unknown is by the same director as mtyl and even has the ex in it so i guess now i do have to watch it

[skrunksthatwunk]

YURI WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
