#this show is basically a telenovela

[lovelydrusilla]

it's plastic surgery week on-board the Odyssey (yes, you read that right) and one of the guests is reading Frankenstein. and then her friend's nose slides off her face because she got a nose job and did a lot of cocaine right after. i'm obsessed with this show

[starberry-cupcake]

the paradise syndrome is basically a telenovela but highlights to:

bones trying to convince spock to rest from trying to figure out how to save missing amnesiac jim and the ship and spock doing so for literally 3 seconds

this is the first time spock and jim mind meld in the show and spock is very overwhelmed

that's certainly one way to describe him

[respectthepetty]

Petty!!!!!!!!!!!! The Fourever You Part 2 pilot trailers have been released!

Anon, I need you to know that I was at a work event when you sent this, and I immediately shimmied off to my office, so I could sneak in a trailer, and guess which one I, a slut, picked?

I SCREAMED!

This is what my triflin' ass gets!

But now, I'm home, and I've watched all of them, so as much as I don't eff with los espookys, I'm about to for this fine ass man!

I already figured out Arthit was a Black Brooder during the first season, so I'm hoping Dao is a Blue Boy which will make the ghosts worth it.

They're already my favorite pair of the entire series! Dao himself could knock out Johan and Hill and Arthit could easily steal their men. They're my fighters!

I'm also interested in these two's story since they were thrown into the first season with no conclusion and minimal backstory!

BUT THE MAFIA?!

I thought Tiger was just on Johan's tax bracket of crazy in the first season, but now I realize the boy's got buried secrets.

Like actual bodies!

Which brings me to the last couple.

I was not expecting the telenovela to come from Typhoon!!!!

Sister? Dead. Dad? Abusive? Mom? Mistress! Time? Limited. Life? RUINED!

So good for Fah showing up to the plot or whatever . . .

But I'm solely showing up to their story for this babygirl who deserves the world.

Basically, I'm ready for another season of questionable editing while I lose my mind trying to figure out everyone's colors.

However, I will *not* be watching it at work.

[the-wet-noodle]

Art for a really shitty au RP for tsams.

Collab with my partner @vincentsalright ❤️

I present to you......The shit sun and moon show XXX!!!!!!!

Amazing name I know

More info and close ups under cut:

This is basically just a shit post au where almost everything in the fandom is stereotyped into each character! It's mostly for silly's and has the horrific ship wars but played off as some really bad telenovela.

The love triangle is a horrific sight.

(THIS AU IS STRICTLY AGAINST ANY SIBLINGS KISSING‼️‼️‼️)

Talking about anime, time to mention the shows I’m watching this season:

Dandadan

I remember trying the manga when it first came out, dropped it after the second chapter since I fucking hate high school shit, but the anime looked well animated and the intro kicks ass, so I gave it a second chance and hooooly shit, it’s really fucking good! The start is indeed sloppy, but once aliens and spirits make their debut, it’s all uphill from there!

Great animation, characters and fight scenes galore, plus a surprisingly heartfelt and tragic story in the seventh episode, 10/10 so far!

Ranma 1/2

I grew up with the OG series, so it holds a special place in my heart, and man if the remake hasn’t disappointed me in the slightest! Great animation, amazing music, the characters feel even more charming than before, and even Akane got toned down from her bitchy self I still clearly remember from way back when.

Apparently the adaptation is much closet to the manga than the OG series, hence why it has faster pacing and somewhat more mellowed characters, and after reading that that means that piece of shit happosai is no longer becoming a recurring nightmare, I can honestly say I’m even more excited for this one !

Dragon Ball Daima

I’m latino, if I don’t watch this I’ll be banned from ever enjoying arepas again… Naw, I’ve been watching Dragon Ball for basically all my life, so of course I have to watch this one, plus OG DB was always my favorite, and this one truly captures the essence of that story!

Also, since its kid Goku again, his stupidity, which Super turned up to 11 for no good reason, finally makes in-universe sense, so that’s another plus!

TsumaSho

What everyone, myself included, wrote off as yet another ultra degenerate anime, this time about a dead wife reincarnating as a 10-year okd child, turned out to be quite the wholesome, if ultimately tragic (especially after the last episode ) series about a broken family of a dad and an adult daughter slowly recovering from 10 years of grief and darkness after the said death wife AND mother comes back and basically tells them “time to get your shit together you stupid idiots”, which, they do.

The mom character is the best, as while she’s reconnecting with her old family, she has to deal with her new one in the form of a broken divorced mom who keeps unintentionally hurting her, all because her own home life was a living nightmare, while her love life is nothing but betrayals.

It sorta reminds me of the weird telenovelas I used to watch at a friend’s house, but in a good way, don’t let the weird premise drive you off, it is not perverted in the slightest!

And that’s about it! I tried another anime about a slime girl, dropped it one episode in (I didn’t like its humor), then another about a sentient robot arm thing, dropped it after the third episode (mainly because the tone was all over the place), and another about the fan of a magical girl accidentally becoming evil, kinda like THAT degenerate anime from the beginning of the year, only not degenerate, gave it a try because of that, turned out to be the most boring shit I’ve ever watched in a long while.

Honestly, this season has been weak in terms of number of good shows, but man the ones that are actually good are FANTASTIC!

[kathaynesart]

Do you think future Leo still practices Spanish? And if he does how often does he use it?

Honestly, I don't think he really knew much beyond a few words during the show (probably picked it up while watching late night telenovelas). However, if there is a high enough population of Spanish speaking refugees in the colony he probably tried to learn some for real because he's a man who revels in the "gift of gab." Being able to persuade people is his M.O. and seeing the way people open up when spoken to in their native tongue is something I think he would quickly take note of and apply to his own verbal tactics. So I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to pick up the basics of several languages (both human and yokai). He wouldn’t be fluent in any of them mind you, but that bit of effort would go a long way in winning people over to his side. He's the friendliest kind of manipulator.

It's also a really fun way to annoy Donnie.

Note: he's actually just asking the troll to laugh when he says the word Donnie. And the troll is laughing because Leo's pronunciation is so lousy.

[gregorsamsadementiaravenway]

Reading Hilda Furacão, the novel (I'll post my general impressions here once I'm done), and confirming an impression I had about the show and the general opinion of those who watched it, particularly non-Brazilians who are not used to our way of doing telenovelas. Basically, the consensus (?) that the story should focus more on Hilda and Malthus and even ignore some of the other storylines is based on a misconception surrounding what the story is actually about. Drummond's novel, as well as Perez's screenplays, is not about a forbidden romance, though the romance is part of the story, but a chronicle of a city - maybe even a whole state - during a certain period of time. The title is Hilda Furacão because her character is central to that city and that time, she kind of embodies the zeitgeist if you will, but she's not exactly a protagonist, but simply another player in an immense group of people that embody a clash of ideologies, a certain sense of religiousness, an obliviousness to what's to come. In that sense, she and Malthus are, in the end, as important as Roberto or Dorinha or Loló Ventura or even fucking Tunico Mendes, and it makes sense for the plot to not focus so much on them. Of course, whether you like it or not is another matter entirely, but this is not a bug, it's a feature.

[hadesisqueer]

Okay, can you recommend me films or shows to watch in Spanish? Gay if it can be but I don’t mind. I want to improve my Spanish.

Okay so, I recommend you the obvious most famous one which is Money Heist but some more? Hold on.

AQUÍ NO HAY QUIEN VIVA: ANHQV is a Spanish comedy series from 2003. It's fucking hilarious, and it also had groundbreaking queer rep for its era; one of its main couples, Mauri and Fernando, helped many people see gays differently, and it's part of the reason why gay marriage was legalized in 2005 here. It also has a main lesbian character named Bea, who has a child with Mauri as the donor and gets a girlfriend (the kid has two gay dads and two gay moms). The show is from over twenty years ago, so there's some stuff that doesn't age that well when compared to our days, but again, groundbreaking for its era and really fucking funny.

AMAR A MUERTE: Mexican telenovela. There's a lot of insane shit going on there (people that die and come back to life switching bodies, Death being a character, etc) but it's pretty good. Two girls, daughters of the dudes that die and switch bodies actually, Juliana and Valentina, are queer and a couple. Really fucking good, my mom and I were hooked when we watched it some years ago.

AMAR ES PARA SIEMPRE: Long ass hilarious Spanish soap opera, do not watch entirely if you don't want to. There are several queer characters throughout the story if I recall, but most famous ones are Luisita and Amelia, two women who meet in Madrid 1975 (when same sex couples were banned here in Spain), become best friends and fall in love. Cute, and hilarious, and amazing rep, very realistic tbh. Luisita is one of the funniest characters in Spanish television imo, her family is iconic (most of them have been in prison for one reason or the other, some others are exiled for being communists, they're insanely iconic), and Amelia Ledesma is one of my favorite characters of all time: the daughter of a fascist pig who leaves everything behind (and gets disowned because of that) to move to Madrid and live her life as a lesbian vedette, and Luisita's family ends up basically adopting her and adoring her as one of their own. Her relationship with her father in law, if rocky at first, is incredibly cute. You can find videos on YT with English subtitles.

LUIMELIA: Spin-off about Luisita and Amelia but as if they're in 2020. Really cool.

SKAM ESPAÑA: Spanish remake of Skam. Season 2 has a wlw main love story. The girl friend group is really cool. 2019-2020 me was obsessed.

Idk recommend some more stuff if you know y'all

[dandysworldhcs]

Oh great blog runners who I’ve spread my ship to I’m sick pls gimmie trick or treat headcannons 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Trick or treat = ginger x Connie

Connie's always complaining about how the Christmas toons hide away for the rest of the season. This isn't just because she's genuinely curious, but because she really misses Ginger and everything about her, she just refuses to admit it.

Connie asks Cosmo for stories he remembers about his cousin a lot when she's not around.

Connie has the biggest crush on Ginger -- she's basically head over heels, and she doesn't even have any! Whenever Ginger's around, she gets butterflies. It's foreign to her, and she denies it every chance she gets, but it's hard not to see it when she's so obvious.

Point-blank, Ginger's oblivious to it. She just thinks Connie's being a really good friend and eventually catches her own feelings.

Ginger shows her love by baking Connie some sweet treats (even though they probably taste like shit, they're pretty...)

Connie shows her love by sharing stories and gossip. Ginger pretends like it's mean, but she always comes back for more. She's polite, but she likes the drama. It's like a telenovela.

I think their confession would go something like them both saying they had something to tell the other, and then they'd say "okay, we'll say it at the same time!" after many "you go first"s, and they'd confess at the same time. Stunned at first, and then they'd laugh over it.

I think they'd hold hands whatever chance they get, too.

Ginger would try to teach Connie how to decorate things, by the way. It would go poorly. Frosting absolutely everywhere.

Finally! Jayvik as Trans gay mariachis from space!

I've been very busy this past days, so I just could work on this in my free time, that's why it took me so long to finish it, but apparently I just worked 3 hours in total in this lmao

I might make some sketches of timebomb or Caitvi in this AU too, but we'll see

Anyway more about this telenovela:

So, continuing the story from this part 1 and this part 2:

Tw: Mentions of suicide

🔹️Viktor plans to continue with "the glorious evolution" that Hector had planned, which is basically a massive suicide (this thing got daaark)

🔹️Jayce, hears about Viktor's plans and decides to try to stop him, he also convinces Ekko to help him

🔹️They both manage to sneak in the building where the cult is, but they arrived too late, everyone has already drank poison; everyone except Viktor

🔹️As Viktor is about to drink the poison, Jayce tries to convince him to stop, but he doesn't listen, thankfully Ekko is there and throws his pocket watch at Viktor's head lmao

🔹️He hits him, and it distracts him for enough time for Jayce to go to him and hug him

🔹️Jayce then confess his feelings for Viktor, and manages to convince him to stop

🔹️But then again, it's too late for everyone else and Viktor's followers are already dead

🔹️Viktor then starts realizing what actually happened and how wrong he was, he feels horrible and wants to turn himself in to the authorities, but Jayce convinces him to run away together

🔹️Cait and Mel help them get away, and both Viktor and Jayce go to live in a little cottage in a forest. Viktor also convinced Jayce to dye their hair blond

🔹️From time to time some of their friends and family visit them and they sing for them, small private shows

Aaand, the final song for this AU, is "Sabor a mí"

Here's a fragment and the translation:

"Pasarán más de mil años, muchos más

Yo no sé si tenga amor la eternidad

Pero allá, tal como aquí

En la boca llevarás

Sabor a mí"

"More than a thousand years will pass, many more

I don't know if eternity has love

But then, just as now

In your mouth you'll carry

The taste of me"

BL Review: Secret Relationships 🇰🇷

From the same studio that brought you Semantic Error and The New Employee here comes what is possibly the hottest telenovela mess in recent KBL history. This joint has everything: a love quadrangle, pretty psychopaths, emotional manipulation, complete disregard for ethics, total lack of personal boundaries, no workplace etiquette, the most stupid bitches you have ever seen, all of that and I'm barely scratching the surface.

At first glance all major players seem like you basic tropes: doe-eyed innocent protagonist with a complicated past, the senior who is the long unrequited love, newcomer who after some silly misunderstandings is going to show what real love really is.

It's all pretty basic until it isn't, courtesy of Soohyun, the third suitor for Daon's heart and another one of his seniors with a long story between them, he shows up kicking the door and unleashing mayhem.

One of the main gimmicks of the series lies in the storytelling structure: the show skips certain events in order to cause doubt and suspense, only for it to show us what happened in a flashback usually a few minutes later. It's quite effective at first, but by the midway point it does get worn out and (probably) due time constraints the show glosses over important aspects of the backstory of the characters and the audience has to fill-in the gaps themselves.

Each episode sheds light in a different dynamic happening on-screen, some more interesting than others. While Daon and Jaemin are the first and seemingly most important people in each other's lives, once Soohyun and Seonghyon enter the picture the pink-sweater menace falls to the background, we find more about him through the consequence of his actions than actually spending time with him.

Jaemin and Soohyun relationship is also quite interesting, the show peeling a new layer with each episode, and it's always fun to see two crazy characters out crazing each other. Interestingly enough Jaemin and Seonghyeon don't share the screen in a significant way through out the show, a missed opportunity for some drama.

From all the leads is Soohyun who stands as the most interesting, the more complex of the four. The few moments the show dedicates to his backstory paint a tragic picture: ostracized by his father, treated as mere commodity by his mother and pressured into a life he did not chose for himself, he sees in Daon the chance for happiness. Both characters survivors of hostile family environments, which probably bonds them to begin with and the show takes it's time to build their relationship, eluding the viewers until we almost get a full grasp of what is really happening with these two. And when it does, it hits, because it's clear that nothing good is going to come out of it, but at one point it could.

As for Seonghyon? He operates in a different reality. It almost feels like he is a tourist from another world, and while the show makes an effort to present him as the "good guy" his actions say otherwise, he is a master in emotional manipulation preying early on Daon's emotional distress and masterfully so. Considering that we are dealing with a south korean production is to be expected that the "prince charming" would be nothing if not a walking red flag.

And while it's hot to smack-talk the suitors, Daon is no flower either, as I said he is an enabler who simply can't set personal boundaries with any of the men in his life. 90% of the show wouldn't have happened if he imposed limits or was able to speak his mind, annoying sure, but thanks to the other three leads dominating the narrative is not much of a problem, although by the end it gets ridiculous how much he lacks a sense of preservation, him running to meet Jaemin at the parking lot after everything that happened was beyond salvation.

Script wise this is a royal mess. It's all-over the place, going back and forth in order to instigate drama, never really fleshing out what is proposing and going all in for shock value and nothing else — Jaemin's suicide attempt to get Daon's attention is simply brushed aside because Daon had a prior commitment with Ju, and you know... Jaemin was just being silly I guess.

Another point of contention is how, and this is a wider problem really, the show paints certain actions as chivalrous while they most certainly are not. This is more present in Ju and Soohyun, no wonder part of the audience was asking for Daon to just ditch all of them and go to therapy.

Problematic aside, this show goes full-throttle on the drama and it shares a lot of DNA with latin telenovelas, with crazy behavior and even wackier development, all in order for some good ol' entertainment, and on that front is mightily successful even if it had to sacrifice some logic for it. All of that wouldn't be effective if the cast was not up for the task and I'll single out Kim Ho Young and Cha Jung Woo as Jaemin and Soohyun, they were by far (and up close) the best here, bringing a manic energy that is so unhinged that you never know when they are going to snap but at the same time constantly reminding us how sad and tragic both characters are — no wonder even doing the most heinous shenanigans they still managed to capture part of the audience with viewers rooting for them, especially Jung Woo (he is actually Daon's Junseo pick for favorite).

Secret Relationships is an all-around hot mess, but if you manage to turn off your brain and not question anything you are going to find one of the best telenovelas to ever grace the fandom, we were one Thalía song away from some real Televisa stuff here.

Top 10 most unhinged moments right after the cut!

Starting at the beginning. The moment Soohyun showed up brandishing his status as director of the company, Daon should've packed his stuff and bolted... but no, babygirl decided to throw survival instinct out of the window from the get-go.

I love you and want to control your life: the moment we saw that Jaemin had influence over every single aspect of Daon's life all alarm bells were sounding off. It took one assault, two debunkings and one timely voice over for Daon to finally catchup on what was popping.

Molesting the drunk cutie, but with puppy eyes so is not all bad: and here was when all alarm bells sounded yet again but with Seonghyon being the culprit. But apparently is fine to take advantage of someone who is completely blitzed. Hell, make him feel bad and ask for forgiveness for calling the wrong name while you are at it.

Getting what you want, but maybe not: Whatever was happening between Daon and Soohyun is never clarified. They liked each other, it was mutual, but how deep did went? I mean for a moment it seemed like it was very deep. But much like so many things that seemed important the show dropped this ball and never picked it up again.

If someone get more attention than me I'll kill myself and then you!: Jaemin's Fatal Attraction moment came at the tail end of episode 6, and it seemed like we were going to see some real shit go down. Nobody cared.

Trauma? Never heard of her: Some people suppress bad experiences in order to move forward, but none like Daon — the guy you spent years relying on and loving tries to kill himself in front of you? Oh bollocks no time for that! He has a date with the cutie who has been love bombing him!

Trauma? My best friend in the whole wide-world: If Daon seemingly moves from one traumatic event to the other like Aurora changes the color of her dress, Soohyun cannot say the same — from his dad pointing a gun at him, his mom pretty much prostituting him to the next bachelorette available and being manipulated for seven years by his rival for reasons unknown, our resident chaebol had it rough. He could've just left and taken a smitten Daon with him, but then he would have to work, and he is a one tragedy at time type of man.

Don't forget this is a K-Drama: We have kidnapping, blackmail, attempted murder, sexual abuse, moral abuse and some questionable directorial decisions but nothing beats Seonghyon and his pastel colors with fluffy cute aura whenever he shows up. It was always a guaranteed whiplash from a dark tale of abusive relationships to cute dramaland antics with puppy sound effects with him.

EVERYTHING WITH THE INTRO OF EPISODE 8: the kidnapping, the white tuxedo, the crazy x-mas wish that Deaon forgot (I was like BITCH HE WISHED TO DIE WITH YOU), the gasoline, the neighbor... it just kept going and getting crazier with each second.

The bloody presentation: As my last wish I want you to present that proposal that will guarantee you a better job — I wanted to stand up and clap because whoever wrote that shit thought it was cooking (if someone told that everyone on the writers room was eating crystal meth like rock candy I would believe).

[lucidheart3]

A silly Shadow hc coming up, beware😂

Let’s assume Shadow lives with the Wachowskis ( or where he could be close to them, like with Stone, Wade I dunno), I imagine him getting so fed up with the telenovelas making girls ‘a prize to be won’ , he decides to take the matters in his hands, and starts writing a script with a strong girl that doesn’t end up with neither of the male leads in the end. When Sonic sees it though, he makes fun of him, (ofc he does) Tails giggles, Knux doesn’t say anything but expresses his support later.

But Shadow is pissed

He can’t kill Sonic but he can make guac, and he does exactly that. In the table everyone appreciates it and says how much they like it, he says it’s Revenge Guac, and if looks could kill Sonic’d be dead yesterday. He gives Sonic the silent treatment, refuses to show him the script when he apologizes and wants to see, only sharing with the others.

Then Tails has a genius idea (that I stole from Sonic boom), he offers they play out the script for Shadow. Knuckles says Sonic should play the female lead since he is the one who pissed Shadow off. Sonic complains endlessly but when he sees the script he is actually glad he got the role because the girl is a badass. They perform it to Tom, Maddie and Shadow , who needed to be physically dragged there because he refuses to be in the same environment as Sonic. When he sees Sonic in a dress with make up he chokes on his popcorn laughing. It’s the first time ever that someone saw him laugh this much. But Sonic despite being pissed doesn’t break character and they actually play it really well.

Shadow reluctantly forgives Sonic, then Tails reveals he had recorded the movie and he alters it to make it an animation movie, since they basically are animation characters lol. It blows up, much to Sonic’s dismay and Shadow’s delight. So he keeps on writing more scripts and they play it.

Sonic cries tears of joy when Amy comes along because finally he can play a boy, but Shadow says Sonic is perfect for the role, partly to piss him off and partly for the fact that he really plays good, so Amy ends up playing a boy too.

Now Shadow is a famous scriptwriter and director, Tails is an animator and rest are the actors that everyone thinks are voice actors.

Feel free to add onto this I know it is so dumb lol😂

[chaifootsteps]

the whole "Blitz led Stolas on and Stolas thought they were mutually into each other" claim was disproven by the show itself

if Stolas was so sure after their one night stand that Blitz was into him then why didn't he just call him up and ask for a date? that's what any normal person would do if they were so convinced someone was into them.

but Stolas in Murder Family didn't do that - his saying 'favors for favors' makes it clear that in episode 1 he was well aware that Blitz was not into him in any genuine way. no one would propose a deal for something they thought the other party wanted to give them freely anyway and if he wanted to support Blitz's business so much he would have just loaned him the book independent of that, or come to some other arrangement

it was how the entire setup functioned in s1: Blitz wants the book, Stolas wants sex. Blitz tolerates what Stolas wants to keep his business running, Stolas oversteps and harasses Blitz outside the deal as much as possible because he knows he can

and no, Stolas stans, his upbringing doesn't prevent Stolas from understanding what a date and regular courtship looks like. he watches telenovelas, for goodness' sake, he can't simultaneously be this sappy romantic and so sheltered that he can't fathom basic human relationships

that's why this retcon doesn't work. Stol1tz in season 1 had a clear and consistent dynamic. Stol1tz in season 2 is a clusterfuck of competing ideas and motivations because Viv desperately wants Stolas to look better

It's especially hilarious when you remember that calling Blitzo up after the first night and asking for a date is literally what Instagram Stolas did instead of the gross full moon deal, and that Blitzo said yes and they had a great time. Crazy how far treating someone like an actual person gets you!

Thai GL: A Perfect Imperfection.

Is not a secret that Thai GLs have overtaken my life.

We have dozen of incredible beautiful and talented women in an industry where the focus is the love between women.

After so much pain and withdraw in Hollywood and the west; It feels like a gush of fresh air.

This blog has multiple posts praising these shows, their intentions and the majority of things they do in it.

So please don't take these list as complains or hate. Is more like a wish list for the industry to improve.

The first and more important thing for me to the industry to improve is the structure of the schedule. There's so many shows is impossible to keep up. Some shows are announced but we never find out when or where or how we can watch(where the heck is the last case you bastards). There's also the issue that in the last month we had mostly 6 shows to watch in a week but now it feels we have less(if we consider the access to mate and petrichor an issue). I know there's different networks working in this but something that helped regulate this thing would be great. I get to watch some shows I sadly skipped in this year so there's a plus but it would be nice to give the support they deserve when they are airing.

I don't have a problem in how messy the stories they are. After all I grow up with the 90s telenovelas from South America; but I hope these shows reconsider how the structure the balance of the stories according to the number of episodes they have. A lot of story lines felt like they rushed them and there were some finales that felt fumble because they didn't gave them the enough time to breed and they took so many time in things these shows probably can skip.

I am full aware that part of the idea of loving women and only women now is somehow translate to hating men: Is something that sadly we can't escape. So making most of the villains men that think they are love interest is a THING in these shows. I don't think we can't escape this. But somehow some shows really give so much screen time to these men and their stories. Not sure if it is because the companies that make these shows are also the ones that make BLs and they want to bring the fans of these actors. I feel the shows could use the male villain if they want and still give less focus; because some stories suffer a lot(what I mentioned in the last point) like.

There's a serious issue around side characters and relationships in these shows. Is amazing to have a cast where the majority of the women are queer and there's actually relationships in there. After having basically one relationship in our western shows is such an improvement. Some of these side characters and relationships are even better than the main ones. BUT we have basically zero screen time or their scenes are cut and don't have the impact they deserve. If they want to balance the stories having the last episodes just drama and the main couples separate; in those episodes the side relationships could step up and in that way they balance what we watch. I don't know there's so much to do with this.

I love the fact that we are having yuri stories adapted. Is very nice, some of these stories deserve that for years. I wished the industry realized first that there's more than what we called "toxic yuri". Not a problem that the stories have toxic elements, but it would be nice to have more variety in this aspect. And also, would be great that the industry start creating their own stories and scripts.

I don't want to go deep in this one because there are way more reason for this that I don't want to touch for possible hate , but I feel like it would be very healthy for everyone involve if after a number of projects the fixated couples could change. We have so many talented actress and is super nice to see them act together in different projects for improvement in their chemistry and be able to have different scenarios; but we are really missing on having other couples that could shine too.

Again the shows and the industry is amazing so don't take these as complaints. I am just having hopes for next year and the future of Thai GLs.

So we went and saw Sonic 3 in theaters....

Did it because my uncle paid for it

For context the very last movie I saw in theaters until this one was Sonic 1 so this was functionally the triumphant return

My honest thoughts:

*Crush 40 voice* YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I've been singing Sonic music, specifically Shadow's songs, ever since going that movie was excellent I loved it and Mom had to stop me several times from vibrating apart in my seat XD

Also Sonic movie 4 is confirmed??? 2027 let's gooooo

Seriously I was all excited for the new Palworld expansion but after this movie that one has to wait I'm replaying SA2 XD

And it beating Mufasa into the ground is absolutely hilarious to me XD

Now that I've seen it I'm listening to podcasts covering it and the fact that Sonic 3 is showing in fewer theaters and making double the money HA!

And disney trying to lie and getting completely trolled by the fans

Three d's or whatever the lady said that got her arrested but Sonic is handing broke disney its head and I am here for it

Spoilery stuff under the cut, if you haven't seen it yet go see it

Also fair warning this gets long

Okay let's open up by saying that whoever makes these movies are MASSIVE GameCube era fans

Because they were pulling from Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic Heroes

And Eggman's final outfit was his Sonic 06 one!

Was Gerald's Nega-Robotnik from the Rush games? IDK I only played the second one

They finally gave him his theme song as his ringtone!

I was elbowing Mom and pointing out what was from which game I did this with Sonic 2 as well

Sonic 1 when we came home from the theater I sat her down in front of the TV and booted up SA1 and SA2 and showed her the bits that the movie had pulled from

The guy in the Prison Island control room reminded me of the computer nerd from White House Down but Mom and I can't confirm yet

But he did have Omega on his computer console X'D

Shadow escaping from Prison Island

SHADOW MEETING TEAM SONIC AND BASICALLY REINACTING THE OPENING TO SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG

SONIC 3 WITH A CHAO GARDEN SEGA COULD NEVER

Listen I LIVED in those gardens with SA1 and SA2 I was able to identify every single one of those Chao types XD

THEY HAVE CHEESE THE CHAO!

Me spending 90% of the movie pointing like Leo DiCaprio in that one movie like they did the thing! They said the line! and the rest just vibrating apart

I warned my uncle before going in, multiple times, that I would not be normal about this movie

I am not normal about this movie

And I keep joking with Mom that these movies were tailor-made for her XD

Reason being she liked movie 1 and ever since then they've been adding stuff she likes like Uptown Funk, Shemar Moore, Keanu Reeves, etc.

Now they added the Beach Boys X'D

Also Shadow joining Knuckles on the TV women deserve more respect couch

Seriously was that bit with Shadow and the telenovela a reference to Ghosts of the Future? Did they actually reference a fancomic???

Gerald Robotnik still being alive is interesting and framing it with him having one of Shadow's quills makes me wonder if that energy was what kept him alive

It would explain how Ivo Robotnik survived the end of Sonic 2

And with the fourth movie confirmed and Jim Carrey saying he loves the character, I'm left wondering if he's somehow going to come back again

Like realistically there should be no way but I said that about Sonic 2 as well

Also I love that he's retired but for playing Robotnik at this point X'D

That also makes me wonder if Sonic and company are rubbing off on Tom, Maddie and even Wade the same way

Like realistically Team Sonic was only gone for maybe two days? HOW did they get all that done in two days if they aren't operating at Sonic's speed honestly

Also SONIC HEROES REFERENCE

MULTIPLE Sonic Heroes references because when Tails carries the others it's how they do it in that game, Tails throws Sonic like he does in that game, Knuckles throws Tails like he does in that game, etc.

So I was wondering if they were going to bring in Silver so they could go into Sonic 06 but with introducing Metal Sonic and AMY ROSE they look like they're heading for a combo of Sonic CD and Sonic Heroes

More the latter because they've got like half the main cast of that game by now XD

Oh give me Team Chaotix

Also I'm glad they're evidently going with Amy's later characterizations of being a competent fighter instead of just running into danger because she's boy-crazy

Although when Knuckles was trying to talk Sonic down from using the Master Emerald in his enraged state (coupled with the Chaos energy Shadow could generate) I was wondering if that was leading into Chaos coming out of the Emerald and a SA1 adaptation

Also me telling Mom "he left it with Wade" for the movie to immediately hard-cut to Wade X'D

Knuckles series reference!

That show was good y'all just out here acting like it stole your firstborn you'd have never survived the 00s era

BLACK DOOM REFERENCE

I never finished Shadow the Hedgehog but him using a device that summons a black hole makes me think that was Black Doom tech

Shadow coming down in a meteor that looks like the big eye thing that follows you around if you take the evil route

And I find it interesting that they softened Maria's death from getting straight-up shot

I did not tell anyone in my family how she goes out until after the movie, btw

But arguably being that close to an explosion is worse and there's probably good reason she was in shadow in those scenes

GUN having to account for rings being able to take you anywhere you can visualize was a nice bit of worldbuilding

Didn't like the one lady tho

Don't know who the actress is but I don't think I'm fond of her either so that didn't help

I will say that I agree with Mom on the pacing of some of the jokes, I had that problem with the first two movies as well where a joke went for too long

But in listing the parts I would trim down (the two Robotniks dancing, the first telanovela scene, the bits in the gravity scene, etc.) it's all stuff that couldn't be thrown in because of all the work that had to go into it

Like Jim Carrey had to sit in a chair for hours with the Gerald makeup and then had to film it all twice

On that topic, the line with them hanging a lampshade on him playing two characters didn't need to be in there and made the scene run too long

Look, the biggest thing about comedy is that it has specific timing and if something runs too long or too short it throws the whole thing off

Although I kept expecting Stone to come up to Space Colony ARK with one of the Robotnik vehicles to save Robotnik

Eggman ends up broadcasting like he did before and it's to talk directly to Stone

And to be fair to Stone: after three movies of Robotnik saying he hates organics and only needs his machines, being upgraded to syco-friend is the best those two can do

Like dang Robotnik's out here like help me Max, I'm FEELING!

Robotnik's heart grew three sizes that day

They still managed to destroy the moon with the Eclipse Cannon XD

Shadow hurting so badly from what they did to Maria that he was willing to die firing said cannon and he was actively egging Sonic on and telling him to kill him...ouch

I do want to question them being able to have a whole chat on the moon considering there's no air and no atmosphere

Legit my first thought when they were doing that was Stitch and cousins from Lilo and Stitch: the Series because they didn't need suits either

And when I was picking it apart with Mom over breakfast this morning I eventually reasoned that the levels on Space Colony ARK towards the end of SA2 all do the same thing since if you miss a landing there you go, plummeting towards earth in a fireball

I love that of the three of them, Knuckles was the one who could handle the stress of reentry

My boi is as tough as he says

So is Tom apparently dude should not have survived that

Getting hit in the chest like that can stop your heart, as we found out with that football player a few years back--dude is very lucky his plot armor is thicker than the general's

I also like that Shadow, for all his planning to destroy the world and everything in it, looked like he felt genuinely bad for hurting Tom by mistake

And him and Sonic having that heart-to-heart

LIVE AND LEARN INTENSIFIES

Like they teased the song through the whole movie to have it BLARE OUT IN THE CLIMAX

Me trying to resist singing along in the theater X'D

Also petition to have the scene where Sonic and Shadow shake hands and clasp the others before going super be the new handshake meme

HAVING GUN ROBOTS COME OUT OF THE ARK

"Don't tell me you have your own catchphrase" X'D

Shadow with his motorcycle, casually doing a Ghost Rider straight up Tokyo Tower

Me elbowing Mom when Sonic follows: "I told you he could have run up the side of the Trans-American building in the first movie!"

Mom: "Oh yeah!"

They had the same posters in the background of the Tokyo shots as they did in the game YES

Also I noticed during one of the close-ups that Shadow's gloves have that same little smartphone-friendly patch that most modern gloves have??? In the seventies??? Dang Black Doom made sure he got the good gloves X'D

Like seriously I could pick apart this movie for YEARS it makes me so happy it was worth all the hype :D

I wasn't even expecting the first movie to be any good but three great movies and a TV show Sonic fans are eating good and apparently we're not done yet

I am SO ready \.o./

Anywho *goes back to running outside belting "Live and Learn" at the top of my lungs*

also good stuff for that one BH6 AU

[kalcifers-blog]

Pissa Headcanons to rattle around my brain like Tallulah's maracas

I feel like I shouldn't need to clarify this but I will anyway- this is all about the Cubitos, not the CCs

Sun and Moon relationship, but they look like opposite of what they are (Philza looks like he's the sun but he's actually the moon and vise versa)

Missa's hair is significantly longer than what it was after he returns to the island (Philza LOVES it)

Missa is deffo the type to give lots and lots of small pecks just all over Philza's face. Philza is just constantly sat there blushing and smiling

Missa likes to teach Phil how to play guitar (yes he does the thing where he sits behind him and holds the back of his hands to show him how to play. Great stuff)

Philza loves horror and doesn't get scared easily, Missa also loves horror but does get scared easily. Cue movie marathons between them where Missa is constantly jumping and Philza (playfully) laughing at him

I'm sure this is basically canon now but Missa also loves to teach Philza how to dance- in return Philza likes to help Missa out with fighting and offers to spar with him. They both have equally flustered reactions to the other showing them how to do said activity

Missa is very physical affection oriented. Whenever Philza is in his vicinity they're hardly apart for even a second because of how close Missa wants to be all the time (90% of the time he's not even doing it consciously)

Missa is taller than Philza (Avians tend to be shorter on average since it helps out with flying) it's not major or a huge difference in any normal circumstance but it definitely feels that way as soon as they're close in proximity to each other (it does not help that Missa wears those big ass goth boots with thick soles/heels, making him appear even taller than usual)

Philza likes to collect items that remind him of the people he's closest too (i.e, Technoblades emerald, Wilbur's guitar pick, Tallulah's amapola, Chayanne's rubber duck etc) for Missa it's a sugar skull mask Missa decorated for him (it includes his green colour scheme and the hardcore heart)

Missa also loves to braid Philza's hair and preen his wings and takes great pride in doing so (he's not AMAZING at it, but he still loves to do it)

Every government assigned couple were given rings when they first joined, at first Philza and Missa wore theirs as necklaces before they actually developed any feelings for each other- now they both wear them on their right ring fingers (they unconsciously agreed that they'll move the rings onto their left hands if they ever actually got married)

Philza can understand birds (he mostly understands crows but he's able to piece together what other types of birds are saying as well) so he's often telling them to "shush" when they catch him and Missa alone together

Missa has death touch, meaning anything living will die if they touch his bare skin. Anything besides (Death's favourite) Philza of course. (Also the death touch does not work on undead which is why he still hides away from Zombies and Skeletons, which is partially the reason why he's kinda shit at fighting)

Trans ftm q!Philza but his top surgery scars are the shape of an upsidedown heart (Missa thinks it's SO PRETTY)

Mumza is watching all of this go down with a bowl of popcorn like her personal weekly telenovela. She finds it the funniest thing that Philza's type is essentially "tall, dark and emo"

Wilbur did not know that Philza would like men, the whole "Phil- I didn't know you were bi, and polyamourus" is still canon, but at first Wilbur was kinda just joking not thinking there was actually anything behind it. You can imagine his shock when in fact, his dad does indeed like men.
