#this was just a special episode but it still hit me like a truck

[wp100]

this made me bawl my eyes out god fucking damn it, im 23 and this anime still makes me cry like a baby lmfao

[mew-cake]

Seriously, it’s astonishing how amazing Zombieland Saga is.

The comady? Top tier. How did they all become zombies? You idiot haven't you ever seen a zombie movie? The chick who died in the 90's can only think about how her tamagotchi is dead at first. Their limbs will just pop off and no one suspects a goddamn thing. Tae spends most of her time flailing around making random noises and she's one of the most popular girls in the group. Their manager is the most insane, pathetic motherfucker there ever was.

The music? Impeccable. What style you want? Heavy metal? Got it. Modern pop? Naturally. A rap battle? Yeah it's here. A 1930's New Orleans jazz piece by the Meiji period sex worker? A heart-felt balled from a 12 year old about how much she loves her dad? That same 12 year old doing a scatman-style performance on Japanese American idol?

The drama? Yeah there's drama. This may be a zany comedy idol series but it does not stray away from the fact these girls are dead. They died in some pretty horrific ways. One was beheaded after taking the blame for what was essentially a coup. One had a heart attack after noticing some facial hair (because she's a trans girl who wanted to stay the same forever). One was hit by a truck and cracked her head open after finally getting over years worth of depression only to immediately die.

All of these girls left people behind and we see that impact. We see how Junko feels out of place in the modern era. How Lily deeply misses her father. How Saki has to pretend not to notice how her old friend has grown up and moved on. How her idol has grown up. Knowing that she never will. None of these girls will never change physically beyond what they were at the moment of their death. For some, like Lily, that's a blessing. But for the others, it's something they have to cope with.

When Maimai joins the group for one episode, she learns how Franchouchou is the second chance for these girls, while she's still on her first. So as much as she wanted to join them, she recognizes it isn't her place.

There is so much genuine heart in this show and it makes me truly happy. It's something so special and something I hope comes to be known as one of the anime greats, because it really deserves that title.

i can't believe it's over wtf (Love Sea final ep thoughts)

its joever yall... it's not even hitting me that it's over because we still have the special ep to go but omg.... it's the end.

hats off to fortpeat. i love them so much i'm so sad that love sea is done (at least, the main story is). i had my gripes with parts of this story but in the end i was mainly here to see these two do what they love.

i believe mut mostly knew how tongrak would react to his confession. his dialogue to mook last episode proved deep down, he already knew the answer. the first few minutes of this episode showed his hesitation and reluctance, but his courage pushed through in the end. i think fort did amazing here. his pain from experiencing a rough rejection was so clearly on display. (and peat does that eye shifting thing with tongrak to show the beginning of panic.)

it's terrible yall. it was hard to watch. i do not like couple fights.

peat's hair here is good tho. omg i was focusing so hard on visuals because i didn't want the pain

big shoutout to vie in this ep. while she didn't spell out what rak should do, she basically held rak's hand through the whole ordeal.

mahasamut's last meeting with meena and kwan omg.. when he started crying realizing tongrak's meaning by the number 8.. how much more can my heart shatter lmao

and big ouch at palm's dialogue here. he meant it in a light way, but mahasamut really DID come back without his heart.

yo tongrak was so heartbroken he started dressing like his face twin from the other mame series.

AND ok like when tongrak chased after the trash car, at first i was feeling the pain and then i remembered how twitter clowned that running shot yesterday and i started LAUGHING oh my god!!!!! like i'm so sorry BUT I DON'T CLAIM THE FAULT FOR THIS everyone was saying he was running after the ice cream truck in the episode poster and i saw it in that moment!!!!!!!

back to regular business, this hits painfully hard actually.

tongrak's main fear being their "end" if they start a real relationship despite not even knowing if it'll come true. it's a very real fear people have (not just for romantic relationships), the mindset that "if it can end badly or if i can't succeed, why try anyways"

i love rak and vie's friendship in this show. dare i say it's way more fleshed out than the GL side plot they have going on. on that note, what even happened with the girls mame... how come they're just together. what HAPPENED.

but vie is The driving factor to pushing tongrak to follow mahasamut. she's so important to tongrak and i love it!

now, idk what was the call here for filming this part at night. it was kinda dark, but mut's pain was clear as day anyways. tongrak, in his own way, wanted to return mut's feelings, but because he couldn't SAY IT, mahasamut ends up misunderstanding his motives.

i really did tear up at rak's recorded confession though. my god i was kinda worried how that would come out, but peat's recording was well done. their confession on the beach was so cathartic to watch. LIKE FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

and everything after was sooo sweet. fortpeat has the fluff DOWN as always.

but also omg the last scene with rak buying the house. absolutely love how at first he was excited, but then seeing mut's serious expression and realizing he should've said something omg.. the way he shrunk himself. and fort's face here oouughghg HELLO PEOPLE!!! GIVE HIM HIS SERIOUS ROLES ALREADY. I THINK THIS ENTIRE EP IS PROOF ENOUGH.

please i'm so serious he looked so hot in this scene.

BUT I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S OVER LIKE IT'S /SRS NOT /J FOR REAL FR OVER WHAT

MY MUTRAK!!!!!!!!!! i know we have the special ep still but NOOO

i need fortpeat on screen... oh my god. please......... im at a loss. they love acting and i love watching them act.

What are your top 5 Dawsey scenes/moments? I joined the fandom when everyone and their mother shipped Brettsey so it’s really hard to find top tier Dawsey content

That's it! I'm rebranding to a Dawsey blog now. I had three moments pop into my head from season 1 alone, so this will be tough. Listed in no particular order except in which they aired:

"I thought about how I'd feel looking you in the eye, and that's when I knew I would've done the right thing." (Season 1, Episode 3). Early Dawsey friendship sometimes hit just as hard as the romantic stuff.

"If you're going to get into a battle of wills with an eleven year old, you're gonna lose." (Season 2, Episode 3... and the rest of the Darden plot). Look. I don't tend to get invested in kid plots in TV shows, but I liked the Darden boys. It was the perfect "toe the line" story for Matt and Gabby to be doing things that friends just don't do right before they got together.

"I had a chance at this a year ago, and I blew it. I've been regretting it ever since. As far as I'm concerned, it's our time now." (Season 2, Episode 9). I KNOW episode 8 is where all the big stuff happens. Episode 8 is great. This line is still the line that gets me. I'm also just now realizing what episode 10 is, and they really went from the triple punch with this 8-10 episode sequence.

"I don't ever want to let you out of my life again." "I'm pregnant." (Season 4, Episode 1-4). On again/off again stories have their downfalls for sure. The getting back together into pregnancy into miscarriage sequence is brutal, but it's also one of those storylines that is rock solid for Jesse and Monica. I have issues with Dick Wolf shows and their affinity for female trauma, but looking at this as an isolated story- it's a testament to Gabby and Matt as a united front.

"My miracle" (Season 5, Episode 22). This entire scene had the potential to be really, really cheesy- and it was in some ways. But it all just works. The performances, the music, Matt taking his mask off, the growing tension with the fire. It works, and it makes complete sense that his (assumed) last words would be to tell Gabby he loves her.

Special shoutouts to: Two Families (Season 1, Episode 7), Until Your Feet Leave the Ground (Season 2, Episode 18), Always (Season 3, Episode 1) Just Drive the Truck (Season 3, Episode 3), Chopper (Season 3, Episode 8), and Best Friend Magic (Season 8, Episode 9)- all of which had moments I considered. You really can't put Jesse and Monica on screen together and go wrong.

14 and 15 for the fandom meme!!

OH THESE ARE SO GOOD

14. How long have you been in the fandom?

only started dabbling in ygo fan circles since around March 2021, when i got back into yugioh and it was hitting my brain like a truck :') though ive been fond of yugioh itself for. um. well its about 20 years now behehe...it feels a lot like coming home, being lost in the ygo sauce again. ♥

15. How did you get into YGO?

WELL. NOT TO SOUND TEN THOUSAND YEARS OLD BUT back in like 2001-2002 when i was like 7 or so, kids wb used to air a block of cartoons in the afternoons, not just on saturday mornings, so theyd just be showing johto era pokemon and duelist kingdom era ygo on weekdays at like 3ish, and i'd come home from school and watch them, since i didnt have cable-- i have super vivid memories especially of watching the yugi vs. kaiba castle rooftop duel this way. and that was just the genesis of it for me, kinda just got grabbed by ygo from a very early age. DK is still sooo nostalgic to me cuz of this..those episodes feel so cozy for me.

anyway then in february 2021 i was talking in a call about how two of my OCs reminded me of rex and weevil and then i was like "god i want to watch yugioh so fucking bad now" and so at like 3am i started rewatching duel monsters season 4 and. well. smash cut four yugioh series later and baby i am In It and the ygo is In Me. extremely thankful <3

heres a pic of the red eyes keychain i used to have on my elementary school backpack...very special to me that i still have this ;w;

Cyberpunk Edgerunners: In Hindsight

⚠️Warning: Major Spoilers, Don't Read If You Haven't Watched⚠️

God, where do you even begin? I guess the thing that sparked it all was Edgerunners winning Anime of The Year at the Crunchyroll Awards for 2022. Given which titles were up for nomination, I think it was definitely deserved. From there it sparked all the memories of nearly every last moment from the anime. Reliving all 10 episodes in my head with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Then I started listening to I Really Want To Stay At Your House on loop to cause further emotional damage before settling on this post.

I watched Edgerunners in a single sitting originally. I was still in University at the time and had an 8am class the day/night that Edgerunners released. So I went to sleep early and set an alarm for 3am or whenever the series dropped. From there, I watched it in the dead of night, silently, and from start to finish in one go. To quote Homelander, "... I gotta tell you, it was perfect. perfect. Everything, down to the last, minute details."

Sure, I'm a huge advocate of the fact that dropping it at 3am on a weeknight all at once is a super easy way to kill hype and viewership, but at the same time that made for an experience I wouldn't trade for the world. It was just me and Edgerunners that night. Nothing else. And it hit like a truck.

So where to begin, really? I guess Night City, the City of Dreams. I first came in to contact with Cyberpunk as a little high school student (yes, that long ago) 10 years ago now with this teaser trailer for Cyberpunk 2077. From that moment a decade ago, I had clung to the hype, the excitement, the notion that CD Projekt Red was going to deliver something unbelievable and out of this world. I battled through all the delays, all the criticism and challenges that came with 2077, and on release day I played for 10 hours straight (with bathroom trips, food breaks, etc of course). I was enthralled. The bugs didn't matter, the performance was trivial to me. It was like I was dreaming.

And Edgerunners replicated that feeling and heightened it even more. It was CD Projekt's dream distilled into 10 episodes of greatness. Beautiful, enough so to make me emotional just writing about it. It took the world that they spent so much time crafting, the characters and stories they spent forever perfecting, every ounce of their talent and craft, and produced something tangible. The anime is mapped perfectly to the Night City that CD Projekt brought to life, down to the most random of locations and roads. The soundtrack is entirely lifted from the video game. It's all there, it's nothing short of astounding.

Moving on from my intense hang up on the existence and overall execution of Edgerunners, I want to talk story. Edgerunners was the perfect story for Cyberpunk, for chasing infamy in the City of Dreams. The whole idea is the burden of dreams on David. How it affects him, how he only lives for those around him, how he himself doesn't have a dream outside of making the dreams of others come true. Standing atop Arasaka Tower, becoming a Night City legend, going to the moon. Sure, David comes off incredibly selfish, but that's because he has nothing else. He has no aspiration, he was and always will be an aimless kid that fell into the wrong spot. A victim, a casualty of Night City, along all the other Edgerunners.

The anime makes sure we understand that, that nothing that David does is for his own dream. He is burdened by his mother, by his adoptive father and mentor, by his girlfriend and savior. He carries the weight of their sins, of their lives, of everything they ever dreamed of. His mother's jacket and the Sandevistan, Maine's Gorilla Arms, Lucy's very life. It's very emotional, the kid that was never special was forced into defying Night City to make dreams come true. To carry the will of those that let him live on so that they can be vilified in the Afterlife, and so that David could live on forever in the Afterlife (a bar in Edgerunners for Night City, David has a drink named after him).

Love and camaraderie and companionship meld into one as David finds his niche in Night City to fight for. He stumbles, he makes mistakes and causes problems, he struggles and rallies against himself and the nature of his existence for the right to be, for the right to dream. And it ends up putting him 6 feet under in a pile of cybernetics among his friends who fought alongside him to do the same.

Edgerunners is a beautiful testament to Night City and the nature of Cyberpunk. Death, shortcomings, failure and tragedy, a constant sense of being wronged by life itself. But beside it in equal force is passion, resistance, hope, a sharp edge that is destined to be wielded against oppressor and abuser. It's the duality of existence, that no matter how much someone has been squashed underfoot, no matter how much suffering they're forced to endure because of their existence, they can dream. They can dream, they can fight against the fabric of reality for the right to exist, for the right to be remembered as something, someone. As a lover, as a hero, a friend, an Edgerunner. A legend.

The final fates of Dini-verse villains part 2: The Winning Edge (If ever there was a PSA about steroids...)

[All images are owned by DC Comics and WarnerMedia. I hope I’m too small-fry to sue...]

(All videos in this review are courtesy of The Night Beyond)

In my last review, I mentioned that 7 “modern” era villains has their final fates revealed in the era of Batman Beyond. I have thus far revealed 5. The sixth reveals the fate of the newest Batman villain on this list (debuting in the comics a year after Harley Quinn debuted in Batman: the Animated Series)...

Bane, a villain created specifically...

(Thanks to Screen Rant)

...to remove Batman (much like Doomsday was created to remove Superman) In the comics, he’s a brilliant tactician (which didn’t seem to carry over as much to the Dini-verse) who uses a super steroid known as Venom to temporarily enhance his already impressive strength.

If you would like to watch the episode, you can either do so on HBO Max, or watch it on Amazon Prime behind the paywall.

We open in a dark alley in Gotham, where the Jokerz line up by an ice cream truck...

...with a cool secret. However...

...there always has to be a party pooper. The Jokerz grab the hardware from the gun and start firing (they do know they’ll have to pay for those, right?) Batman makes short work of them as Gotham’s Finest show to do the mop-up.

I should note this is early in Terry’s career as Batman...

...so he’s not used to the late nights yet. His teacher notices and gives Terry a disk with a note for his mother (Really? Even when this episode first aired email was fairly common!)

After school, Dana takes Terry to watch the Big Game. No clue what the game is. Near as I can tell it’s Zero-Gee Lacrosse.

Batman recognizes “Mason” as one of the athletes from the game earlier in the evening (who is also dating his friend Chelsea)

Speaking of the happy couple, Chelsea is worried Mason (who looks like Death Warmed Over) is using something called “slappers” (you don’t suppose she means those squares he was placing on himself that made his veins pop out, do you?) Mason brushes her off, so she storms away. Guess the honeymoon is over.

Then Mason’s teammates arrive with the cash they got for selling the stuff they stole last night...

...which he trades for slappers for him and his fellow players. His hands are trembling so much he has to slap one on just to get home.

Unfortunately for Mason, someone followed him and saw the whole thing.

That evening at Hamilton Hill High School (where Terry goes to school)...

...Batman pays a visit to the boys’ locker room, picking Mason’s locker open and finding his stash of Slappers. Next stop, the Batcave so Bruce can analyze them.

But before he can leave, he gets hit from behind!

You’d think the Coach would want to know why Gotham’s resident superhero is snooping around his locker room, but instead he wants to take on the Bat.

The fight is carried to the...Zero-Gee Lacrosse(?) arena where Batman makes short work of the Coach.

Afterward, Terry heads home later than normal, and his mother is worried, especially since the school told her about Terry sleeping in class. His brother Matt “helpfully” goes in Terry’s bag to get the disk (OK, I get that little brothers are jerks who want to see their sibling get in trouble. Hell, a few months after I moved from my mother’s custody to my father’s, my brother was STILL trying to get me in trouble with my mom! But Matt embraces “sibling rivalry” with almost sadistic glee!). When Terry grabs the bag back, it spills open, revealing...

...the slappers Batman took from Mason’s locker. Terry’s mom, of course, freaks. She grounds Terry except for school and working with Bruce Wayne. Matt is giddy that Terry’s in trouble!

Later at the Batcave...

This episode is turning more and more into an Afterschool Special.

Meanwhile at Zero-Gee Lacrosse(?) practice...

...Mason looks worse than ever, and the Coach notices, sending him to the showers. His cohorts bitch at him about his stash of slappers going missing, but one of them “found” his parents’ cash cards so Mason can get more.

That night, Mason approaches his dealer’s car when...

The dealer high-tails it out of there, but not before Batman tosses a tracer on the car. Bruce tracks the vehicle.

I know Bane was defeated at least once by damaging the device that feeds him Venom until it overloaded his body, so this is certainly plausible. Plus it shows the dangers of drugs by showing a guy ODing.

Anyway, Terry is out past curfew, so likely his career as Batman may be over (and Matt is likely doing a Victory Dance in his room)

Hope you enjoyed the episode (even it it was a bit heavy-handed) I know Matt didn’t like the ending.

Six down. The final villain’s fate to be revealed next week...and it’s a chiller!

[popculturebuffet]

Next up for Nickelodeon era of shows, who is your favorite character from each of the late 90s/early 2000s Nicktoons shows you've seen like: The Angry Beavers, CatDog, The Wild Thornberrys, SpongeBob SquarePants (aka their big cash cow), Rocket Power, As Told By Ginger, Invader Zim, Action League Now, and The Fairly OddParents?

The Angry Beavers: Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh do do do do do doot do doot doot... theme songs were catchy back in the day. Anyways, Dagget. I mean Richard Steven Horvitz geninely wins, but it's one of his better and more underated roles. As for the show itself it holds up fairly well, has a lot of creativity to it and is thus a lot of fun.

CatDog: Lola who was sadly underused, wtih cat a close second because well. .jim cummings. Cummings on. The series itself... is not great. Part of why those two win is while Cat has his jerkass moments, no question... they tend to be the least odious in a cast mostly filled with assholes. CatDog is a sadist show where Cat get spunished when he does wrong and punished more when he dosen't. It has it's moments and I do liike the design of our lead and Dog in his moments where he's less of a blight on Cat's life (ANd I say this as someone who loves cats AND doggos a lot and will coo over just about any one of them I come across). Great designwork, great voice cast (including a smattering of good billy west roles), but not a lot else to actually help it be.. good.

The Wild Thornberrys: Darwin. While his general role is to go "Most undorthadox" he does it well and is fun to watch.L Nigel of course also slaps, being you know, Tim Curry. But I have to go with my heart> This series.. I dont' remember well. It wasn't bad or anything, I just havne't revisted it like the two above, so most of my memories are hazy. I remember finding the movie mid minus the big ole twist with Debbie, I missed when movies for tv shows really mixed up the status quo, not great not helped by Nigels asshole mom being inserted into the film just to make the plot happen. The show itself I remember liking and I like having something this diffrent on nick at the time. Spongebob: Whose my boy is a hard one here as in their golden age most of the cast is pretty damn special.. but id' have to say good old Mr. Krabs. Beebeeboopboopboopboop. Seriously though, as both an adult and a kid a lot of my faviorties were Mr. Krabs episodes, from Krusty Krab Training Video, to my faviorite as a kid (and certainly top 10 today) Krabby Land to the panty raid one. Yes that was a faviorite as a kid. Odds are if the episode is Krusty krab focused, it'd be a good time with a few notable exceptions. He was truly the stan pines of his day, being the morally questionable adult in the room who really, shoudln't be THE adult in the room.. or in the room as he's probably doing something sketchy in there. The show itself is a classic: it's lasted simpsons length for a reason, and whle it certainly has his dark age, the show did seem like it rebounded. Havne't checked it out in a while but it seems to have gotten into an era of still being watchable to good after a brief rennisance. At it's height, true poetry.

Rocket Power: Sam. As a kid it's because he reminded me of the awkward nerd who didn't quite fit in.. as an adult.. same. Where you have friends and you gel with them a bit but don't get them all the way. If anything I relate more now as the passage of time hits me like a truck and I slip further and further away from other people. Anyways Rocket Power is a show I have fond childhood memories of but cannot stomach as an adult. I do like the extreme sports focus as while cheesy as hell, the show put in genuine effort to get the sports right and throw in things like Luge among the staples like surfing, skating and snowboarding. It's also hard to hate a show with such a heavy hockey focus.. I think this show is where I first got an apprecation for the sport, then shorsey just blew it the hell up as a kid. Just realized I have not finished season 3.

So it's not ALL bad.. but both Otto and Twister can be insufferable, Otto plotting self centered schemes and both bullying sam. But the unique setting of a beach side town (for the time anyway, it's more common nowadays and thank god for that), great adult cast (With Ray being a responsible dad who is only a killjoy because his son is a jackass and a half and deserves to be struck down by parental authority), and Tito. Tito is the best.. well Sam's the best then tito. Actually they both can share the prize.

As Told by Ginger: Carl. He was my faviorite part as a kid and while I need to revisit the series honestly.. he still holds up as the best, as does hoodsy. Their a package deal. The series itself was great, one I want to revisit because it seems to really do teen drama right, has a fairly likeable cast, including a nicely complicated alpha bitch in Courntey who can look down on people and be a jerk.. but isn't agressively mean. The problems are down to earth and not super cut and dry on Ginger's side, while usually some weird kid nonsense on Carl's. It creates a really nice ballance too: the Carl Plots give some levity when the ginger stuff needs it, allowing the ginger stories to be more grounded. Carl isn't without his sadder moments, no question, but he gets to be weird and awesome while ginger rams head first into the awkwardness of puberty. Really the diffrence between being a child and a tween or teen right there.

Invader Zim: Zim himself has honestly grown on me with years. it's some of RSH' best work and he's such a loveable lunatic. As for the show I tried not to watch it as a kid. I liked room with a moose.. but wasn't a big fan of the overly sadistic tone (you may notice a pattern), how Dib always lost despite being likeable to younger me, and how the world just plains ucked. As an adult while I am VERY glad the revivial movie, which got me into the series, toned some of this down as some things like Gaz and Membrane's treatment of Dib was overdone, on seeing the ocasinal episode as an adult.. I'm reminded of how GOOD it is. The bleakness is easier to process when you get it's this over the top dumpster fire of a world. It dosen't ALWAYS work but ti makes it easier to actually root for Zim. That and poor boys parents/evil overlords clearly just hoped he'd die and they'd never hear from him again. Dib is more layered, being sympathetic yes (again thanks movie fo rpulling back on the sheer amount of shit piled on these boys) but also an egotist. He works best when Zim's either not super evil or Dib's own ego and need to be proven right over doing the right thing bites him in the ass. Or it's just so over the top you don't care. A solid show I wish i'd watched more but can totally understand why I didn't.

Action League Now: I.. I did this one. It's the Chief. The series is literally just the shorts from KaBlam. Which if you didn't know is totally fair and it is nice the show has it's own program if you just want to watch those shorts. Wish Life with Loopy got the same treatment.

The Fairly Odd Parents: Cosmo. I didn't think the answer would be this easy but in his heyday he was hilarous, charming and honestly in a new wish (where he's dialed back to the first few seasons) he is. Cleavlantis anybody? Fairly Odd Parents is great. It has a great premise, cast and bitching theme song and uses it really well. It went on far longer than it should've (The early poof revivial was alright but I hear it just got worse and worse), has a few age spots here and there and the characters outside of the main trio are pretty simple (and they later get boiled down to their core sterotypes), but it's got enough charm to still be watchable despite it's creator being a pile of anus. Worth a rewatch i'd say.

[ethaninthewilde]

SO I have now watched the first 2 eps 4 times, and on the 4th time I was taking notes on my thoughts so I present to you: ethan's PJO brainrot (warning: there's a lot)

EPISODE ONE

- Percy is given the sword early. I don't love this change but ok, not a big deal

- I love the rep of Nancy's subtle bullying. so much bullying shown in tv is the classic shoving against lockers, give me your lunch money, beating up the weird kid, etc., but it is not all that. the much more subtle emotional bullying is just as harmful. especially the "Percy's special" which was used against me so many times in school. struck a chord. love to see acknowledgement of hat type of bullying on screen.

- "no, no, if there's one thing I know about bullies it's that you never, ever want to stand up to them" Grover uhhhh idek where to start with that 

- the Mrs dodds scene seemed pretty anticlimactic?? in the books it felt much more bigger, like much more of a turning point for Percy, but in this it just was like, ok, that happened, next 

- not only that but Percy was much more open to Sally about what had happened with Mrs dodds. he didn't give her the specifics, ofc, but it was still much more than book Percy telling Sally nothing had happened and he was fine bc he didn't want to worry her. 

- it didn't change anything in the narrative, but it was an interesting choice by the directors to change it 

- when Percy's passed out on the floor after he kills Alecto there's this one kid that just goes "is he dead?" and idk I just found that funny

- ok I understand why he did it but damnn Grover a snitchhh I would've been so mad 

- eddie in the books is one of gabe's poker buddies but in the show he appears as a plumber? that change confused me a little bit. in the book Percy gets home to Eddie and gabe and another friend (forgotten his name) playing poker and gabe is asking for whatever money he has and Eddie goes "he just got home. go easy on the kid". now with this change I'm wondering when Percy goes to see the oracle, who will deliver the prophecy lines? it's supposed to be all 4 of gabe's poker buddies who say one line each but now??? I guess we'll see

- also on the topic of gabe--if he's not employed, will we get the "I'm sure he will want to reward everyone in this wonderful city free appliances from his store, here's the number" scene? or maybe he will get a job halfway through the season or something? idk

- I wonder if they will elaborate on gabe's character before the end of the season where he gets turned into stone or if that's all we really see of him. I really hope they portray the extent of gabe's abuse, because it was really important to both Sally and Percy's characters, and also young kids watching this show for the first time need to know that this type of abuse is not okay. 

- ok moving on from gabe now

- the choice to play Olivia Rodrigo in the first scene we get of Sally? top tier. I don't think Sally would listen to Olivia but as backing music it works.

- I feel like Sally's character in the show is more tough than anything. In the book she is characterised by her kindness, her devotion to Percy. you do see her devotion and kindness but in the book she is more silently strong than outwardly. I have mixed feelings about this, but she delivers anyway. 

- "you fell in love with God? like--like, like Jesus?" had me CACKLING 

- Percy's conviction that "there's something wrong with my brain" as a young kid with learning disabilities got me. I cannot elaborate on this right now but it hit as someone who used to be absolutely convinced of the same 

- really wanted to see Percy call Grover a donkey, but alas, I shall live

- love that they kept the minotaurs underpants joke 

- in the midst of the car crashing and them being chased etc., Percy's like "what's  ahead of me?" and Grover just goes "I'm actually 24" like bestie hon you cannot just slip that in casually your best friend is already losing it

- Sally making he Minotaur get hit by a truck was INSANE. I love her so much. badass 

- no no no no "you're gonna need to be brave now. remember what I taught you. remember the stories ... Perseus! listen to me. you are not broken. You are singular. You are a miracle. and you are my son. hold fast. brave the storm. I love you." LITERALLY HAD ME IN TEARS IN TEARS 

- "you are not broken" 

- ANNABETH ANNABETH ANNABETH ANNABETH ANNABETH 

- HE MUST BE THE ONE 

- the credits are so pretty I want prints 

- love that we get post credit teasers like cable 

EPISODE TWO

- annabeth standing over Percy's bed in the infirmary in the first scene of Ep 2!!! that's our GIRL

- "where am I?" "you drool when you sleep" SCREAMING 

- Percy's first question being about his mum : 0

- "your job was to get me here alive. so your job is done." Grover honey I'm so sorry you did your best and we love you

- "it was so important bc of my father. so I'm gonna go find him" yeah that's actually not at all how it works sorry good luck tho

- MR D IS PERFECT 

- "PETER JOHNSON IS HERE"

- "yeah, I heard him the first time" "but did you???" OBSESSED 

- "excuse me, your highness" LMAOOOO just thinking about Percy looking back on this in five years and just hating himself for it 

- "actually, I think I can ... Son" "dad???" "yes, Peter" I love him, fav 

- just this entire scene was amazing 

- I wanna make a map of camp 

- THE OWLS IN THE TREES

- "check ur pocket" "no, I-" "check. ur pocket"

- the cabins look so cool

- THE BLUE JELLYBEANS. ITS GONNA BE OKAY PERCY BABY

- nah bc how am I supposed to hate Luke when he looks like THAT and acts like THAT. he's so kind to Percy and it's like he's genuinely wants to help and feels bad for Percy. ugh he deserved so much better

- also Percy looks so SMALL next to Luke. a literal child

- background grover lore?? is that his mother?? 

- "I assume they'd get really squishy like- like an old banana maybe?" Grover so silly so goofy love <3

- "but you haven't told him anything?" "no, and no one is gonna tell him anything" I feel like this is the scene where you can see that mr D really is a god. there's power in his voice and his eyes. the room LISTENS to him.

- gods I still cannot believe I'm actually getting to watch this show after literally so many years of being with Percy 

- Luke I'm in love with you

- "spend too much time trying to figure out why the gods do what they do, and you'll drive yourself crazy" we're so early in and already Luke's character is LAYERED in foreshadowing I love it 

- Luke's speech about glory!! I love that we're really getting into his character and his thought patterns 

- I would let Clarisse shove me into the ground any time ngl

- this convo between Luke and Percy makes it so easy to see how Percy could have gone down Luke's path. you can see his anger. his spite. his pride. if he had been left unclaimed, he very much could have followed Luke. this is where their paths split. this is how Luke's narrative started. 

- WHEELCHAIR USER REP. upset that they left out grover's crutches but at least we got this

- BECKENDORF?? THAT YOU???? 

- run Percy run get outta there u did nothing 

- Chris Rodriguez my child 

- "they like the smell of begging" well he's not wrong 

- Luke I'm in love with you 

- Percy burning his Jellybeans had me shaking 

- "I'm gonna make him come down here. I'm gonna make him see me. I'm gonna make him see both of us" CHILLS. see above 

- ANNABETH AND PERCYS INTERACTIONS ARE EVERYTHING I COULDVE ASKED FOR 

- "I can explain" "no you can't" "I know you" "no, you don't" "you were there that night" "yes" "are you stalking me?" "yes" I love her so much 

- artemis statue? Athena? 

- "whose side are you on?" "oh, hers, always" ARE YOU THO? ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? but also, correct answer 

- SO glad they went the little sister path instead of the weird crush thing in the books. so glad 

- I feel like Luke has a much more major mentor role in this than he does in the books. he takes quite a bit of what Grover and Annabeth were doing in the books. I do really like it though, as I think it will really work to drive his betrayal home much more when it happens. I also appreciate being able to see more of his character, his values, his attitudes, than Percy did in the books.

- I might write an essay on Luke's character arc check back with me in a week 

- So happy we got to see capture the flag on screen 

- The way annabeth just COMMANDS even though she's literally twelve, a baby, and everyone respects her 

- FIXING HIS ARMOUR 

- the combat choreography is SO good 

- Luke and Chris: "when it's time, he's gonna be ready. I know it" foreshadowing? 

- god I love women

- "who's Sally Jackson?" oh do NOT say that to him

- I really love that they emphasised how Percy only took the quest to save his mother. the quest was never actually about the bolt, not to Percy. it's about a boy's love for his mother. that's the most important thing. 

anyways that's all for now!! be back tomorrow when I've watched it again. sorry not sorry, gonna go finish house of hades now 

(hit me up if you wanna overanalyse percy jackson with me)

other than this everything i could've hoped for. i cried so much. 9 year old me is finally content.

brb gonna go rewatch and update this

[lexa-griffins]

Finally finished watching TLFOAH!

Definitely is Alycia best work yet. I feel like it need at least 2/3 more episode though, show us her growing up in Thornfield.

Very interested in Candy relationships with June/Twig. That scene when Candy call Twig to come home hit so hard for me😭.

Alycia's outfit in this show is legit 👌.

Fuck Dylan.

!!!

It absolutely is. Lexa had been maybe her best up until now but this topped her acting as Lexa completely. No question about that. In the book we actually see a little more of her growing up, including the time jump starts with an 18 year old Alice getting her drivers license and June giving her the truck and once they go and visit Oggi he actually bought Alice a car (he's so sweet, June you fucked up HARD) and thats when they talk about running away. We get just a little glimpse more of Alice growing up. But I do get that its a mini series and thats why those moments didnt make it to the screen but I would have loved to see a more adult Alice working on the flower farm, althit seems those stills of adult Alice picking flowers were never a scene but promotional material according to the director on Twitter!

Candy Blue is such a sweetheart, I love her so much 🥹 You can tell how much she loves her adoptive moms even despite everything especially with June. And she has such a special connection with Twig having Twig lost her children to the system and getting to raise Candy from a baby to an adult. And Candy calling Twig mom and begging her to come /home/ because she needed her :') her baby needed her, she mourned her two babies she may never see again but she still has a daughter who desperately needs her 😭

They really did deliver with the wardrobe. Am I still mad we didnt get the butterfly costume made by Ruby? Yes, but the sparkly dress and the cowboy boots were all I could have asked for so I'll pretend they did it in my mind djdbsjsbd

Series Masterlist

“Can I come with you?” while Robert may not be a fan of your pouting, he does become a big softie when it comes to you pouting over him leaving.  The gentle side of Robert that only you are privy to comes out of him.

“Aww…does my Pretty Girl miss me already?  Or is it my fucking pussy?” while his words are filthy, his hands smoothly pull you into him, lightly grazing down your body in the most delightful tickles.

“I always miss you when you’re not here.  It’s no fun here without you.  I could take care of you.”  Giving him the best doe eyes that you can, and he only kisses you.

“This is a job you can’t go to.  You’ll be okay.  I’ve got to take care of some things.  You understand, right?” and you do.  He never would think of taking you with him on these jobs, nor would you want to go.  Whether he’s actually taking out a hit or if he’s meeting a client, you want no part of it.  “I’ll be back before dark though.  Be a good girl while I’m gone.  And when I get back, I’ll fuck both you and her until you see stars.”  Just to emphasize his words, his hands slap your his pussy.  Pulling out his pack of cigarettes he slaps the pack on his hand before pulling one out to place in his lips.  

“You’re so sexy, Freezy baby.”  His head lowered while he lights the cigarette, Robert’s soft blue eyes roll up to meet yours.

“What was it, you just fucking called me?”  

“I’m sorry, Sir.”  Your eyes flash down to the floor, worried you’ve upset him.

With a gentle kiss on your temple his mouth moves to your ear.  The thick hair of his beard rubs against the delicate skin of your neck, and his slow breathing on you causes you to nearly fold in on yourself.  “That actually sounded nice, Pretty Girl.  Sounded almost like a fucking tease, when I know you’re my dirty little slut.”

To prove his point his thick fingers, go under your dress.  You’d given up panties on most days, knowing Robert loved to just touch his sweet cunt.  “I fucking knew it.  You’re already dripping down your legs.”  As quickly as his hands made contact with your quivering pussy, he jerks them away, shoving his fingers in your mouth.  “That’s what I do to you.  You taste that?  She’s fucking sweet, isn’t she?  Now, while I’m gone you don’t fucking touch yourself.  I’ll know, and you’ll regret it.  Okay, Pretty Girl?” “Yes, Sir.”

With a quick draw of his cigarette, he exhales the smoke on your face.  Leaning in to kiss your lips so softly, but to prove that he’s still the one who has the power his hands push you on the couch.  “Before dark.”

“Be safe.  I love you, Robert.”  Even you are stunned by your words.  It’s not that you two haven’t said that before, but you’ve never told him to be careful, it’s an unspoken rule.  His body slowly turns to look at you.

“Love you, too, Y/N.”  Shocked that he used your real name you can only smile as he walks out the door.  Walking to the window to watch him leave, your eyes never leave his car until it’s out of sight.  Irritated that your stuck inside without him.  Glancing down at whoever the man is that’s supposed to watch you.  You’re not sure why he’s here.  No one ever comes here.

Bored you flick through some random show to binge watch, and nothing catches your attention.  It’s all the same without him here.  Moving pictures that just drone on.  Not even knowing how many episodes you watch.  You’re not paying attention to any of it.  You can’t even be bothered to pay attention to your “guard” that stands, you do notice the approaching delivery truck, noting how odd it is, because come to think of it you’ve never seen a delivery truck.  The mail, sure, but packages haven’t ever happened since you’ve been here.

Nearly slinking back into the couch as the delivery man walks up to your porch.  Hiding yourself, Robert keeps you hidden from the outside world unless he’s here, and it’s created an odd sense of anxiety and paranoia.  Especially with males.  Feeling that they all want to hurt you.  Even your husband ex-husband.  Only feeling safe when Robert is around, because you know he would kill anyone that would try and hurt you.

“Got a package for a Y/N Diskant,” he tells your guard.

“I’ll take it,” he answers for you.  You roll your eyes and your interest has been piqued.  Who would send you something, and furthermore who would have the audacity to put Diskant on the package?

“Sign here.”  he never questions why there’s a man sitting on the porch, which it also isn’t in his job description.  

Once the driver leaves and is out of your eyesight you open the door.  You know you’re pushing it, but your feet don’t step over the threshold, your eyes never look at the man as you reach for the box.  His hand holds onto the package tightly, but you don’t dare say anything to him, and he doesn’t to you.  With more force you yank it out of his hands, turning to close the door and lock it.

Walking into the kitchen you grab the scissors cutting into the tape, feeling excited like it’s Christmas, forgetting about the number of rules you’ve already broken.  You should have left well enough alone, but curiosity killed the Pretty Girl cat.  Ripping through mostly packing paper you pull out a flip phone.  Almost every party of you is screaming to stop now, but there’s a smaller part that wants to know why.

Flipping it open you notice there’s only one number on the phone, one that you don’t recognize.  Walking back into the living room you set the phone on the coffee table, staring at it while another episode of whatever stupid show your watching plays.  Nervously you bite your lip, looking at the clock, he’s been gone seven hours.  It wouldn’t hurt to call the number, maybe it’s a direct line to Robert.  Maybe he wants to play a scavenger hunt with you to keep you busy.

Overcome with the need to know more, you quickly grab the phone, clicking the green button to dial it.  “Oh, thank God.  I was worried he would be there with you,” hearing the familiar voice makes you nearly comatose.  “Y/N.  Y/N…is that you?  Pronge?  Listen, fucker I just want to talk to my…” “It’s me.  Why did you send me this?  Do you realize how much trouble you’re going to get me in?  Shit…I’ve got to go.” “No wait!”  Paul screams through the line.  Your heart pounds and your body already shakes at how disappointed your Sir is going to be.

While Paul is talking to you, your guard hears you talking.  Looking in the window he sees you on a burner phone.  Not wanting to suffer the wrath of Robert he calls him.  “She’s got a phone.  I heard her say his name.” “FUCK!  As soon as I get home, leave.  How the fuck did she get a fucking phone?”  Robert screams at the unnamed man.

“Got a delivery.”

Robert throws his phone in the floor of the car.  He was already headed home, and now he’s furious.  How dare you open the door.  He doesn’t know the details of everything, but he knows that the front door opened.  He has an idea of who might have sent the phone, and Paulie is already on his shit list.  Robert is waiting on the moment where there aren’t any witnesses, and after today, he’s making you watch him kill Paul.

Racing down the road, barely staying in his lane, Robert thinks of the best way to punish you.  Exactly how many rules did you break?  And worst of all is the thought of him losing you to Paul.  Why is Paul needing to talk to you?  What does he want?  The divorce has been finalized.

Not even bothering to pull into the garage he slams the car in park.  Grabbing the pathetic excuse for a guard up by his neck and shoving him to the ground.  “Don’t bother fucking coming back.  You have two rules.  Don’t fucking talk to her and don’t let her out of the fucking house.  You failed both.” “She’s not dead.” “Shut the fuck up or you will be.  Now get out of my goddamn face you fucking cunt!”

You hear his screams and throw the phone not caring that Paul hadn’t finished what he needed to say.  Backing away from the front door, you wait for the impending punishment.  Throwing the door open his cold eyes look at you.  You realize now how someone who is so beautiful to you can evoke so much fear.

“You fucking bitch.  Where is it?”  Tears fall down your eyes as you walk away from him.  “Where is the fucking phone?”  Your shaking finger points to where you threw it.  “Who sent it?  Who fucking sent my stupid fucking cunt a phone?  It was him, wasn’t it?” you’re too scared to talk, but nod your head.  “Why?  You better use your fucking words.  Don’t act like a dumb baby.  Why the hell did he send you a phone?” “I don’t know.  I’m sorr…” “Shut the fuck up.”  His thick body walks over to the phone, opening it to look at the call log.  “You don’t know why he called but you were on the phone for twenty fucking minutes?  Are you that fucking dumb?” “No, Sir, I…” “I was on my way home and I get a call that you’re talking to him.  Not only did you go outside and talk to that fucking bastard, but…” “I didn’t go outside.  I opened the door.” His body walks up to you, shoving your back up against the wall.  “Don’t be a fucking cunt.  Bending the rules is still fucking breaking them.”  His hands soften for a moment, coming up to your neck as he pets the black velvet, humming as his fingers move across the flocked material.  “Are you my Pretty Girl.” “Y-y-yes, Sir.” “Don’t fucking lie to me.”

“I am, S-s-sir.”  Your voice barely a whisper since you’re trying to stop your tears.

Before you realize what is happening, distracted by his soothing fingers, his other hand quickly pulls out a pocket knife, withdrawing the blade before cutting the choker off your neck.

“No… no…please, sir.  I’m sorry.” “You know I warned you about taking this off.” Your head violently shakes, “I didn’t.  I… you…” His elbow presses across your shoulders, as he uses his weight to anchor you against the wall.  “You know what happens now.” “Please, Sir, don’t.  I didn’t.” “Shut the fuck up.  You’re going to take it, because you know the fucking rules.”   Your body is caught between wanting to run and wanting to take your punishment to be his good Pretty Girl.  Tears cloud your vision, and Robert moves you to the desk, pulling out tweezers, and almost too gently laying you on the ground.  His knees hold down your arms and the panic sets it.  Blubbering for him to stop and to not do this, but his mission never falters.  

Holding onto the delicate pendant with the tweezers he pulls out his lighter heating up the metal.  “I’m sorry.  I didn’t…” “What the fuck did that cuck want?  Hmm?  Why can’t you fucking tell me what he wanted?”  he never stops heating up the pendant, and you can barely catch your breath to even speak.

“He…he just wanted to talk.” “No, the fuck he didn’t.  Why are you fucking lying to me?” “He wanted to know if I was happy.  I am.”  Your eyes try to ignore the metal turning red with the lighter.  “Robert I…” “What else?  What else did he want to fucking know?” “He wanted t-to know i-if I knew what you did.  I told him no.  I don’t want him to know.  Please baby don’t…I didn’t take off my collar.  I’m sorry.  I’m yours.” “Twenty minutes.  Twenty fucking minutes.  Did it ever occur to you to hang up?  I can’t fucking protect you if you invite stupid shit to happen.”  Quickly he shoves the metal ice cream cone on your skin.  Grabbing one of the stupid knickknacks off a shelf to further press it into your skin.  Your nose stings with the smell of your burning flesh.  There is a bit of sorrow in his eyes as he watches you cry out from the branding.  “It’s gotta hurt, or you won’t remember who you belong to.  Who owns you?  Whose Pretty Girl are you?” “Y-you, Sir.”  Your voice wailing, and he finally removes the ceramic trinket, throwing it at the wall.  It breaks into tiny pieces, and Robert’s lips kiss away the tears that fall over your face.

“I hate to say it, but we’re still not done.  That’s just for the collar coming off your neck.” “But, that’s not fair.  I…” “Fair?  Was it fucking fair that I was coming home to my perfect Pretty Girl, only to find out she’s talking to her cuck ex.  Am I not good enough for you?  Is that what it fucking is?”  His fist connects to the floor right beside your head.  Your lip trembling because you have never seen this side of Robert and you just want his softer side back.  

“You’re perfect.  It’s me…I’m not.”  You watch as Robert turns his head.  Faltering in his movements.

“Why?  Just tell me why the fuck…”  he takes his knees off your arms and moves away from your body.  Propping his arms up on his knees.  A hand rubs over his head.  His voice softening to a whisper, “Why did you just keep talking to him then?” “I don’t know.”  Moving to your knees you crawl over to be in front of him.  Your neck with an inflamed swirl of an ice cream cone hurts, but not as badly as the broken man that sits in front of you.  “I’m sorry.  I wasn’t thinking.”  Leaning forward you search for his eyes to gaze at you.  Feeling that you had pushed him too far, and he’s going to push you out of his life.  “I love you.”

Robert’s eyes only look at you for half a second, scoffing.  “I do.  I told him that, told him that he isn’t half the ounce of a man you are.  Told him that I didn’t know what love was before you.  Didn’t know that someone could make me feel as important and cherished as you do.  That’s why it was twenty minutes.  Because I was telling him how he could never amount to you.  You are all I need.  I don’t care about what it is that you do.  I only care that I am yours, and you are…”

Rolling his eyes up he finally meets your own.  “I am.  You fucking know it, too.  I’m yours.”  A different kind of tears roll down your cheeks, and you smile at him.  “You’ve known for a long time.  I’m not good with this fucking shit.  You can’t be with what I do.  You have to be hard and withdrawn.  I can’t do that with you, I’ve tried, and every fucking time, you soften me.  I know I’m a bit extreme, but…”

Fully crawling in between his legs, you sit up, his eyes look at the singed skin.  Fingers barely rubbing across it, and you gasp at the invasion to the damaged area.  “Mark me…I’m yours.  I want you to do it.  Here, I’ll fucking get everything ready.  Just…” “No… not your pretty skin,” you start to protest but smile at the gesture.

“Don’t fucking care.  Either you do it or I will.”  Hurriedly he pulls the pendant off the floor, grabbing the tweezers up and holding it while lighting the Zippo.  “Grab something to press it on me.  Unless you want to use your fucking hand.  Want it in the same place as yours or somewhere else, Pretty Girl?” “I want it there.”  You point right below the sharpest point of his jaw on his neck.  The place where you love to stand on your tiptoes and kiss, and he smiles knowing exactly why you want to put it there. “Well, come on.  I’m not going to fucking bite you.”  Turning his head, he actually does nibble on your neck.  “Sorry, sorry.  Here, I’ll hold still.”  Laying his body on the floor to his side, you follow the steps he took.  He never screams, but he grits his teeth, hissing.  “Fuck.  Sorry, Pretty Girl.”  

The only person who has a code to the house beside you and Robert is Cherry.  The only person who dares to come into the house without notice or knocking is Cherry, and he always seems to come in at exactly the right wrong time.  “What the fuck are you two doing?”  

Having enough Robert sits up swatting the blackened metal off his neck.  “I’m yours,” he whispers kissing on your neck where you branded him, you return the kiss by placing yours in the center of his neck, the spot where your mark is.  “And I’m yours.”

Crawling in his lap, wrapping your legs and arms around him, you cling to him.  Never wanting him to feel he’s less than anything you deserve.  He is exactly what you want, and exactly what you need.  “You should know by now, you fucking walk in here you might see something you don’t want to.” “Yeah, well you need to treat those, so they don’t get infected.”   “You know where it’s at.”  With a roll of his eyes Cherry walks off to get the first aid kit.  “I fucking love you, Pretty Girl.” “And I love you, Sir.  My Freezy baby.”  

Once Cherry returns, he tosses the first aid kit over to Robert who expertly begins cleaning your wound.  “So, Cherry boy, where’ve you been?” you ask him while you clean up Robert.

“Out.”

“Fucking ass hole.  She asked you a question.  I allow you to come here freely, answer her,” He looks down at you as you finish up.  Hearing Cherry get out his tin to roll up a cigarette.  Standing up you offer a small hand to Robert who pulls himself up, picking you up over his shoulder, he walks you to the love seat before dropping you both down, holding you tightly against his chest, his fingers rub up your arms, and you know, for the time being, you have your soft Freezy baby back.

Cherry continues his motion of filling the paper, tightly wrapping it up, before dragging his tongue across the paper slowly to make it adhere to itself.  Everything about his motions seems so familiar, and you can’t place if you’d seen him do this “before Robert” or “with Robert”.  “Wanna drag or something?” “She doesn’t smoke, you fucking know that.  You’re looking at her pretty hard.  There something you want to say?” Cherry puffs on the tobacco, blowing up the smoke into the air before narrowing his eyes at you, “She really is a pretty little thing, isn’t she?”

1. I am the guy in my friend group who makes a point to read the mandatory literature works - with the exception of some of the collections of poems as I just couldn't be bothered. I also like to shitpost in my discord statuses.

4. I like the capybara for being chill with seemingly every animal but I wouldn't really like to have one as a pet/live with it. I'd really like to own a cat (or multiple) at some point though.

5. Has to be a type of dark green that one color picker website tells me is called "green pea". I'm usually a dark blue/navy type of guy but that green is nice.

6. I've had an idea to keep a model of like a commercial truck on my desk as a decoration, a box (that's why a commercial truck would work well, more space in the bed) and a toy if I feel like it - all at the same time. I just might buy one soon...

7. I can look at a car and immediately be able to tell the make and model. i guess. Perk of wasting thousands if not tens of thousands of hours consuming car content on social media <3.

10. That would be Wendell and Wild. You know how on desktop tumblr, there is always some kind of featured art on the right side of the screen? One day, I saw a fanart of Kat (main character of the film) and that prompted me to watch it. I liked it a lot, unique art style and characters, plus the score Slaps.

11. Lockwood & co. I have read the first 2 books - upon which the plot of season 1 is based on - years ago. More recently, I got my hands on the 3 remaining ones and I've, of course, re-read them again. I was ecstatic when my mom let me know that Netflix was making a show, I'm currently on episode 2 and it looks pretty good.

12. I've seen Wangan Midnight, Initial D (of course, I am a Car Enthusiast after all), One Punch Man, and I haven't quite finished Bocchi the Rock yet. I enjoyed all of them although a person who doesn't care about cars might not feel the same about the first 2 mentioned.

13. Music for me. I can't decide on one artist to recommend so I'll mention a few: Go_A, Charli XCX, The Amazing Devil and Girl K.

14. Watch YouTube videos :/. #1 habit I have to break.

15. One pillow plus a folded up blanket under it to raise it a little bit.

16. Honestly, I wouldn't say I have major problems with sleeping. I rarely remember my dreams and even when I do, I mostly only remember fragments of their "plot".

17. Hmm speaking of Lockwood & co., Lucy Carlyle. She is pretty cool I think.

18. Aliexpress came in clutch. I can assure you that the colors look better irl.⬇️

19. Alright story time. In the racing videogame The Crew 2, I was once doing a certain challenge where I had to drive without hitting anything for 150 km (or maybe 180 km, can't remember). It was the last challenge I had to complete in order to obtain a special car. I was all set up with a good hypercar on a big oval track, and I was going at it. I had been kind of salty already for hitting a wall and sending 77 km of progress down the drain earlier. I also just so happened to have The Suicide Squad soundtrack on shuffle. The song So This Is The Famous Suicide squad came on. Pretty much exactly at the drop 28 seconds in, I get a notification that I had completed the challenge. Shortly afterwards, I get a notification that I did in fact get the aforementioned special car. It was an extremely cool moment to me, and the song is still my ringtone several years on.

20. It's been good so far, nothing crazy happened at school.

21. <3

Alright so I know Literally Nobody asked for this but the idea of leaguers having differnt armor types, speeds, and strengths is so fascinating to me so here’s an entire post about my headcanons about it, staring the Main 7 since they’re the ones we see most and have the most evidence for. 

Also, please keep in mind that this is completely made based on memory alone and it’s been a bit since I last saw the show. If I missed something or remembered something wrong feel free to correct me or add your own thoughts.

Also also, I made a chart (the chart is based on the strongest for the leaguer, not out of all of them, ex: Top Joy’s strongest is different from GZ’s strongest)

First off, the leader of Silver Castle himself, Magnum Ace, a Baseball Leaguer. Right off the bat(hah puns) I immediately knew his arms would be the strongest points. He seems to have been created with him being a pitcher in mind and his 44 Sonic has clearly been shown to posses a lot of power which he would need the strength to handle. There’s also how he was shown to be a decent hitter in Gold Arm’s flashback, sending every ball into the outfield. As for his weakest points, they were also pretty easy. The joints are a bit of a constant with all of the leaguers I showed, but the fins are because they seem to be rather thin and probably can’t hold up very well under pressure. There’s also the shoulder joints, which I wasn’t able to put on the diagram, since as shown during the end of the series, if Magnum repeatedly pitches his 44 Sonic without rest the stress on his shoulders start to cause them to break down, to the point where he was forced to sit out for the next few days for repairs. Speed wise Magnum is nothing special and in my eyes pretty average amongst the team.

Next up, we have Mach Windy, a Soccer Leaguer. Similar to Magnum, I knew almost immediately his strongest point would be his legs since, y’know, soccer. Everything(physical) we see coming from Windy is almost always centered around his leg strength and speed. This is outright said when Silver Castle is resting after some baseball training and Magnum tells Windy(I shit you not) “We believe in your leg.” There’s also his Mach Spin which depends entirely on his ability to kick to ball at an extremely high speed. There’s also a scene when trying to help Gold Foot during the Forced Retirement Arc where his kicks a ball of solid rock without any issues. The scene also brings me to why his head is a strong point. Heading is also something Windy has been shown to be able to do, and referencing the Forced Retirement Arc again where he head butts the aforementioned ball of rock. For speed, as mentioned before, when it comes to running Windy seems to be the fastest amongst Silver Castle. The weakness I feel is pretty self explanatory since soccer doesn’t really require use of your arms unless you’re a goalie. There’s also how in the Jet Setter episode Bull sees Windy loose an arm wrestle almost immediatly with Ryuuken, but that might just be since Ryuuken is ridiculously powerful. As for durability, he seems to be not very strong, instead having lighter armor for more speed.

Speaking of Ryuuken, let’s talk about the Karate Leaguer. As you can see, his strongest part is his armor, aka almost all of him. As a karate leaguer, Ryuuken was probably created with the intent of being able to take a lot of hits. There’s also the running joke of a member of another team attacking him with all their power and him not budging and saying something along the lines of “I feel nothing.” Strength wise, we get a taste of his crazy power is during his first spotlight episode where he was practicing kicking with Windy, to which he accidentally broke the stone wall surrounding the field. He then unlocks more of his power when rescuing Ruri from the factory, but we don’t see his real power until the Forced Retirment arc. There we got to see when going to rescue Magnum, Windy, and the Gold Bros how he opened a literal chasm into the ground with a single punch, though I can’t remember if it was rock, metal, or both, but that’s still pretty impressive, and that was before he unlocked his Heart Kit in the Death Football Arc which only increased his power. And then during the OVA when the Fighter Brothers try to fight Windy’s new team and they use their pitch, a pitch that nobody had been able to hit before, Ryuuken straight up punches it with seemingly no backlash and getting a home run all because they made him mad.….maybe it’s a good thing Ryuuken is so innocent and calm. Speed wise, Ryuuken seems to be on the slower side of the team, however I do think Ryuuken(alongside Juurouta) would have the best reflexes. This one is completely headcanon and I don’t have much proof, it just makes sense to me.

Next up, we have Bull Armor, a Football Leaguer. His armor and helmet are easily his strongest parts, for mostly obvious reasons. Multiple times throughout the series he is seen tanking blows that would normally knock another leaguer to the ground, most notably when he’s Silver Castle’s goalkeeper in soccer and catcher in baseball. However, his durability seems to be different from Ryuuken’s since he is still moved by the attacks but can bounce back from more. His durability seems to be pretty tied to his strength too since he is one of the only leaguers who has been shown to catch Magnum’s 44 Sonic. There’s also how when he was first introduced he stopped and lifted a truck much larger than himself with relative ease in order to stop it from hitting a young boy. His speed however is admittedly a bit harder to figure out. He seems to be much larger and heavier, however as shown when he lost control in his past he still has the ability to charge down opponents at a speed in which they can’t properly evade, though it’s up for debate whether they were trying to properly evade or trying to reason with him.

Juurouta, a Kendo Leaguer, is next. His durability is more basic compared to the others, mostly focusing around his Armor Armor(no that was not a typo). Said Armor Armor also seems to be protecting the joints which may or may not be intentional, but I’m going with it. His fins share the same logic with Magnum, as do his joints with everyone else. His strength mostly seems to be localized in his arms, which makes sense since he is a kendo leaguer. His strength was first shown in comparison to the others when he was the first person to hit Gold Arm’s Genocide Screw with a hit(discounting Bull since he technically kicked it). There’s also how in the Arctic he was able to cut down the  blizzard machine, however that spent all his energy. Speed wise I think he’s in a similar i boat to Ryuuken: slow overall, but incredible reflexes.

Now, Top Joy, a Basketball Leaguer, was a fun one to do for no reason more than I like the character. Strength wise, nothing very impressive, he show much. Durability though….it’s not the best. The only points that seemed to be able to hold up were his arms(sort of) and feet, and they’re less based on actual proof and more on logical thinking but I digress. Hand and arms because he’ll need to be able to catch balls thrown his way, but they’re still relatively weak compared to other members of Silver Castle. I highlighted his feet because they would probably be needed to make they don’t break once Top Joy lands after jumping high. If they were weak the repeated slamming into the ground would cause them to break and then Top Joy(and any other basketball leaguer) would be relatively stuck. But where I think Top Joy shines is his speed and maneuverability. As he has demonstrated many times throughout baseball and soccer games alike, his spring legs can be used in a variety of situations, from avoiding attacking players to catching balls that would normally be too far out of reach. And there’s also the possibility of using the force from the spring to propel himself faster when running, thought it’s unclear if he does this already. However, they are not without weakness. As shown in the episode with Gebara, they are easily damaged when seemingly a single coil is damaged and prevents him from walking without assistance from his teammates. There’s also his recording equipment and speakers which, while functional, seem like they would also be damaged rather easily since as someone who has worked with recording/video equipment, I am all too aware of how fragile it can be. Also another note, Top Joy also seems to have an incredibly high pain tolerance. When the members of Section X give him a warning shock with the shock circuit, he pleads with them and says how he “doesn’t like punishment,” implying this has happened before. There’s also his questionable relationship with his past team and much later in the Death Football Arc when he flat out says “I’m used to pain,” which in concerning to say the least.

And finally, last but most certainly not least, we have GZ, a Hockey Leaguer. Similar to Ryuuken, GZ has been shown to be incredibly powerful and being able to take a lot. There are three times where his power is shown. First is barely a day after he joins their team when he defends his teammates from attacks that would normally knock them off their feet(sans Ryuuken). The second time is when he’s babysitting the kids and survives an avalanche that took out another group of hockey(?) leaguers with barely a scratch. And then in the OVA where he’s able to deflect almost all of Garret’s dive bomb attacks without took much trouble. This is undoubtedly a combination of some hockey leaguers being incredibly defensive(like Thunderbolt) and his reformatting which led him to be a mercenary. We don’t seem too much from GZ in terms of strength, so I’m going to say he’s just a little weaker than Magnum. Speed though, that one was a bit hard to figure out. Main because of his boosters. His boosters give him an enormous speed boost, fast enough to get ahead of Garret who was literally flying and dive bombing, and on the ice without as much friction it only increases his speed. However, the few times we see him running, he seems to be slower than the other Silver Castle members, likely because of his weight and how he was meant for ice, not land. 

TL:DR, From most to least

Durability: GZ, Ryuuken, Bull Armor, Juurouta, Magnum, Windy, Top Joy

Strength: Ryuuken, Bull Armor, Juurouta, Magnum, GZ, Top Joy, Windy

Speed: GZ(with boosters/on ice), Windy, Top Joy, Magnum, Bull Armor, Ryuuken, Juurouta, GZ(running), but Juurouta and Ryuuken have the best reflexes

Ok. I have a million but I’ll drop a few. Keep in mind I haven’t seen the movies, I’m on the last ep of season 8 (and very sad about it)

Remember the episode where Shawn lives at home for a bit. More of that!! We got so little. I wanna see Shawn living w both his parents and feeling like a teenager again. Like the part where he has to ask to borrow his dad’s truck and his dad gives him a curfew?? So good.

In the same vein, there are not enough young Shawn fics!!! Or maybe there are and I don’t know where. Like I wanna see Shawn when he stops wanting to be a cop and becomes an angry teenager. Also young Gus!! And Henry being Henry and parenting angry Shawn.

Totally different vibes: Remember when Mr. yin caught Shawn and Gus. And he was about to kill Gus and Shawn was like noooo kill me and he says something like “I have something special for you”. And then we never got to see what it was??? I’m glad they didn’t die and I do not want a fic where Gus dies but what did he have in store for Shawn??? Why did we never get closure on that! I’d love a fic where maybe just Shawn goes in and gets caught (this way Gus doesn’t have to die) and we find out what he had in mind for shawn.

Also I really liked in Lassie did a bad bad thing when Shawn pissed off Drimmer just by being his own annoying self. More of Shawn being Shawn in captured situations and getting in trouble (hit or something) for it. And then maybe the capturer wears Shawn down and Shawn eventually stops his schtick because he keeps getting punished for it. And then when he’s rescued he’s still hesitant to be himself and goofy!

Ive mentioned this one before but I’ll say it again - there’s an episode where we find out there’s a bunch of criminals that Shawn put away that are planning to find him when they are out. Can I PLEASE get a fic with that concept. Criminal released or breaking out of prison and kidnaps/tortures Shawn as like revenge. Or even like kidnaps his dad and we get a santabarbaratown 2 Shawn on the vengeance trail!

Similar to Santabarbaratown 2, give me a fic where one of Shawn’s loved ones (Gus, Jules, Henry, even lassie!!) are kidnapped to blackmail Shawn or something and he goes after them with no regard for his own safety.

I also think that the Shawn and Chief Vick relationship could be explored more! Maybe it’s just me but sometimes a kinda mother/son vibe from the two of them jump out.

And any fic expanding on or re doing or even mentioning Shawn takes a shot in the dark is a slam dunk for me.

I can’t write psych fanfic bc I just don’t have the correct voices in my head (not like that) but I do have ideas. Thinking of sharing them with the world in hopes that someone else will write it for me

Aight bitches, headcanons for my version of the WATXM Cartoon's 'Mortimer Toynbee'

(TW: Death, suicide, depression, mental illness, body horror but it's not that bad)

-The stage we see Mortimer at in the show is most likely him as an 18 - 20 year old, still in the juvenile stages of his mutation as it occurred after the death of his mother Esmerelda. Esmerelda was a kind and meek but busy woman who ultimately died from a stroke caused by high blood pressure. She worked 3 high stress jobs in order to try and keep a roof over her and Mort's heads as his father gave up his rights because he "Didn't want a freak for a son and that he'd never be his son."

-When his mutation actually began to show after her death when he was 3, Mortimer's once ivory skin turned fully green and due to the neglect his hair became matted in chunks (the braids we see in the show), his hygiene dropped to little to no self-care because of the new allergic reactions he'd get when his new sensitive skin came into contact with the naturally chemical loaded body washes, deodorants, shampoo, and tooth pastes that he had. He turned to showering with just water and brushing his teeth with just water, but the water the brotherhood has access to was INCREDIBLY dirty and laced with chemicals that made him sick.

-Mortimer is actually incredibly smart, but others would feel threatened by him when he tried to show this so he mainly acts dumb and stupid as a way to avoid conflict and aggression from people (Specifically Pietro and Dominikos).

-At 22 he finally leaves the brotherhood after being there for 4 years and tries to take his own life only to realize he's developed superhuman durability and a healing factor. This immediately makes him frustrated because he feels he's been punished and forced to live a miserable life.. And in comes Spider-Man who talks him out of trying to jump and takes him to SHIELD.

-After a few days at SHIELD's holding cells he makes a bit of an impression on Fury who offers him a role as an agent. Mortimer, a people pleaser who'll take any chance to climb up the ladder in life, immediately agrees and sets to work training.

-As he trains, his mutation gets stronger and he unlocks more abilities he never thought he could have: Superhuman strength, durability, endurance, agility, senses, special eyesight, chemical and toxin production, flexible bone structure, superhuman lungs, telepathic communication with amphibians, acidic saliva, flaming tongue, and a venomous pheremone secretion that allows for mind control.

-The final step was when he fell extremely ill and it was discovered that his genetic makeup was severely broken due his involvement in an experiment called the Black Womb Project, ran by Charles Xavier's step-father/Juggernaut's father Kurt Marko. This left Mortimer's DNA and mutation severely unstable and it almost caused him to loose control of his new powers and have multiple mental breakdowns and even a manic episode where was on an extreme high before going through psychosis in which he believed Magneto was out to kill him for leaving his son's group.

-After having a hell of a few months, Mortimer is put through a new process called Genetic Rehabilitation designed for mutants who've been forced through experimentation programs and have had their DNA damaged.

-After a while his skin turns from 100% green to 40% green with lots of ivory patches. The tops of his hands, chest, stomach, inside of his legs, and the tops and bottoms of his feet are a pale ivory color while his back, neck, cheek and temples, arms, his sides, and the outsides of his legs are varying shades of soft green with patches of dark green ranging in sizes from small to giant patches on his joints and sockets (shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips) which he's self-concious about at first but comes to love his new look. The most shocking part is his eyes which become black with amber irises that have flicks of lime and gold in them.

-Along with getting therapy for his DNA and body, he gets therapy for his mental health which.. Hoo boy he was and still is strugglin (but not as bad). He has: BPD, C-PTSD, GAD, ODD, and Depression.

-Absolutely loves brushing and caring for his hair, which, after it's unmatted and cleaned of bugs and gunk is ass length and black with a silky shine to it. He still wears his old bandana thing

-Has picked up playing a musical instrument in his spare time. If he isn't working, tinkering with his suit, gear, and gadgets then he's playing... The violin?

-He's suprisingly good at it.

-After becoming a shield agent he starts to get more confidence before meeting a mutant who was currently in SHIELD's custody... Said mutant being the oc of @ohmygillygoshoppler

-Callista and Mortimer become close, he spends lunchbreaks with her, constantly volunteers to be her guard/escort when she's let out.

-Ok so, dad headcanons lETS GO

-Cal and Mort end up having a daughter named after his mom, and her thing is having her mom's monster mouth with mouths on her hands that can shoot out 13ft long flaming tongues. Esme (or Esmerelda) absolutely becomes a rescue hero

-Callie is into clown/circus lolita outfits and Mortimer is a grunge punk. Esme never gets dressed in the basic ass kids clothes, she looks like mini Wednesday Addams.

-This child never gets put down (physically), Mort or Cal are always holding her.

-Mort and Esme are the epitome of "Don't talk to me or my kid ever again" while Esme is copying her dad's glare.

-Alright, Mort's strong.

-Like, really strong. He didn't even know how strong until he was cornered on his first mission as a shield agent and he kicked his enemy with his leg so hard he decapitates them.

-He can kick hard enough to knock down concrete walls, snap people in half, crack and damage paved roads, and create enough air pressure to knock people over.

-His tongue can crush skulls

-He could get hit by a semi-truck and still walk away with a few bruises

-Develops a bite force of 1,000 PSI (Less than a polar bear)

-He bench presses 3 tons with his legs and 1 ton with his arms

-Develops retractable claws that can lengthen and shorten, he uses these to fight.

-Looks like he could kill you, can kill you but has the energy of a golden retriever puppy

-As he ages he becomes more.. Forgiving? Of the people who've hurt him, specifically Pietro. He'll forgive but never forget, it's like when you drop a mug. It won't ever be the same.

-I imagine he fights a lot like how Deku does? The leg based fighting and shoot style is a big part of his fight style.

-Legs for daaaaaaaays, they're so long. Also he's 5'8 now because Toad is canonically 5'8 - 5'10 and he'll hold it over Wolverine while snickering.
