MCR Songs & Their Vibes PT 2

Couldn't help but do a part two of this because it's so much fun to me.

Black Parade B-sides: 

Day album, I get fresh out of college vibes. Maybe dropping out and losing your mind. 

Heaven Help Us - Day to Night, religious trauma, begging for forgiveness on cathedral steps, Winter into Spring

My Way Home Is Through You - Day, Spring, rebellion, edgy teenagers vibes

Kill All Your Friends - Day, growing older, growing resentment, imagine this happy ass song playing while on a murder rampage, Spring

The Mad Gear  and Missile Kid EP:

Day album, Summer in Battery City. Hot nerds. Don’t ask. 

FTWWW - Day, wearing cunty ass sunglasses while driving, careless, Summer

Mastas of Ravenkroft - Night, club, drugs, drinking, Summer

Black Dragon Fighting Society - Day, Summer, spilling juice on your outfit

Conventional  Weapons: 

Most political. Definitely a Night album but nighttime in the city. Being involved in some punk scene w/ friends. 

Boy Division - Night, Summer, partying, watching  some random band play 

Tomorrow's Money - Night,  hot punk vampire boyfriend,  robbery, corruption, Summer

Ambulance - Day, being there for your friends, trying to prove yourself, Summer to Fall

Gun - Midday to Sunset, desert,  fighting, covered in blood, Summer

The World is Ugly - Night, complicated love, late night drives, kissing in a dark parking lot, also a sorta break up song?, Fall but lots of reminiscing on memories from Summer

The Light Behind Your Eyes - Night, crying to yourself in bed, wanting a hug, fighting against mental health, no set season 

Kiss the Ring - Sunset, Summer,  protesting, celebrating death of political figure 

Make Room!!! - Day to Night,  New York City Chic, Fall 

Surrender the Night - Night, busy emergency room, on verge of giving up,  this song would be good in some kind of car chase imo, Summer

Burn Bright -  Night, i imagine images of city lights,  especially Vegas, driving w/ the windows down, Summer

Life On  The Murder Scene: 

Didn’t do the whole “Album” because I’ve done those songs  already. Not much of an explanation for this one.  

Bury Me in Black - Night, cannibalism, Fall but you’re burning hot in an alleyway 

Desert  Song - Night, very rainy, somber, sleeping on someone's couch, life flashing before eyes, Winter

post-honor among thieves thoughts

a delight!!

truly, a fun fantasy film with all the right blends of serious stakes and goofy missteps that is so emblematic of playing dnd

one of the things I was most curious about going into it was—given that so much of dnd is a) collaborative storytelling and b) ultimately determined by dice rolls, how would those elements of unpredictability translate to a scripted story? (which I suppose is not new to dnd-based media, there have been novels and the 80s show, but those aren't things that I've consumed.) and like. yes the story was pretty predictable overall, but I did like that there were moments of abject failure scattered throughout that really captured the vibe of rolling a nat 1 (it was also very fun to half-watch it through a lens of, oh, this person would be rolling a deception check right now. this person is succeeding then failing on a bunch of acrobatics checks, etc.)

it is. so very fun to me that bards are categorically also spellcasters, and yet they did not let chris pine do one damn magical thing, that lute was a melee weapon only

michelle rodriguez barbarian my beloved (also like, in terms of balancing references to the game with still making the movie accessible, part of me was expecting/hoping to see some visual indication of her going into a rage, but I did like that they didn't tip the hand quite that much while still making clear during fight scenes that, oh, she definitely has some rage-fueled strength right now that is allowing her to yeet a dude across a courtyard)

seeing all the spells and wildshaping was incredibly fucking cool!! that may have been the bit I was most excited about, and it did not disappoint—doric's whole infiltration and then escape of the castle was so good. the displacer beasts. the mimics!

sir that's just a portal gun

the comp het was so funny. look, I really loved both justice smith and sophia lillis but cmon guys. there was nothing there

although speaking of, edgin and holga as determinedly platonic best friends raising a child together was an absolute delight—the bit when edgin says to kira like 'I'm not trying to bring back your mom but my wife' bc yeah!! kira's mom is already right there!!

halfling bradley cooper having a clear type of 'women twice my size who could break me in half' is so valid

god paladin regé-jean page be still my heart (although yeah, the paladin as a straight-laced LG humorless type is not the only way to interpret the class, but I thought it did make for a nice contrast w the rest of the party)

but also his armor! I thought the costumers did a great job of giving them all designs/looks that spoke to their classes. truly, the visuals of the whole movie were so cool—not just in terms of the aesthetics, but the framing and movement of the shots, too. very dynamic, very fun to watch

overall, a genuinely good time!!

top 23 screenshots of 2023 <3

i was tagged by @applesaucesims a while ago to share my top 23 screenshots of 2023 and it was actually pretty hard to pick just 23!!!! i've seen a lot of people do them by month but because i made this blog in like may i'm just post them all as one :) some are raw some are edited its a real mixed bag i've seen a lot tagged in this already but if you haven't done this yet consider yourself tagged <3!!!

i thought she just looked cool here :(

2. i like the vibe of it and again i just thought she looked cool here lol. i wanna remake this so bad

3. i really like the angle i got w this, like its from elvis' pov. he wants attention but neither are giving it him

4. this was initially from when i started to make pictures to go around lori's apartment but never got around to finishing them. its a little lori and her oldest brother before he goes off to fight in korea :)

5. elvis was not having being held!!!

6. this was when i first started messing around with tool and i just love this shot a lot

7. one of my faves of all time!!!! i cant wait to add more context to this as i get deeper into four to one

8. i was trying so hard to get that feel of an up and coming band and their first album. i looked at a lot of old 60s garage band album covers and some were so raw like literally just a bunch of guys posing somewhere and thats what i attempted to duplicate with this :)

9. i could've honestly included the whole post this screen was from but out of all of them this was my favourite. idk i just like its the first little glimpse you get of new orleans before the street scenes. i was trying to set the mood a little lol

10. literally not a thought inside his little orange head <3

11. i used another angle of this pose for the initial post its from but idk i also liked this one a lot too i think lou's awkwardness makes it for me lol

12. i really like how andy looks back to lori as she was leaving. he looks so helpless and ideally he'd have gone after her but a) he didn't want to deal with her anger and b) he was really not in the mood to receive any shit from the rest of the group, and out of the 2 he's not ready to face lori's wrath!!!! i also like the couple on the left bc they could legit be talking about anything

13. the way they're looking here.... ough. in the story post they take a few moments to watch lori pass before initially approaching her. the look they give her is mixed with the displeasure of spending their friday night tailing their boss' 'girlfriend' and just your typical male gaze of watching girls go by

14. i think i peaked with this shot. she was literally just getting into a car what an absolute icon

15. & 16. the way she looks at him and the way he looks at her...... chefs kiss. she's annoyed and he can tell but that doesn't stop him with appreciating how she looks

17. its my blog header image for a reason <3

18. i love this little moment of intimacy between them. their relationship can feel more like an acquaintanceship at times, especially with how marco speaks to lori and how he treats her. i like in this shot it captures a rare moment in their relationship where lori is genuinely sweet and he's soaking it all in. also i really like both their side profiles hehe

19. i was starting to take screens for a post i was going to make then i just forgot about it but i really like this and how it's a little sneak peak on what to expect later on in four to one :)

20. i just love how the preset i used made this screen look tbh

21. just a cute lil gameplay moment no poses or anything just love between a girl and her cat <3

22. & 23. taken from lori's magazine spread i just really like how candid they look both look

supernatural s8e23 sacrifice (w. jeremy carver)

are we gonna make nic cry (it's a low bar but s7 finale managed to not make it)

JODY It's not a date till I've cried.

we're definitely leaning into full on bad guy crowley this season. i liked when he was more ambiguous. maybe he'll help, maybe he'll fuck everyone over. dragging jody into it, now. all right

not me feeling more emotional about bobby's scrapyard than i did about seeing actual-bobby again

CROWLEY Nice try, squirrel. Moose is doing these trials. Moose signs. DEAN No, no. He's not signing anything until I read the fine print. [SAM yanks the pen from DEAN] SAM I can read it. DEAN Hey, you wanted me here. I'm here. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna let him screw us even more. CROWLEY What's this? Trouble in paradise, boys?

crowley's turning into a bit of a caricature. too much of a good thing maybe

DEAN I can do this all day, 'cause you know what? Damn, it feels good! But sooner or later, you're gonna have to face it -- you're ours. Which means that your demon ass is going to be a mortal ass pretty damn quick. CROWLEY [to SAM] What's he mouthing on about? SAM You're the third trial, Crowley.

a) ignoring any bitch implications b) you know i really dislike torture but even i got a little vicarious satisfaction from dean punching him c) i've got a hodgepodge of demon dean/mark of cain nebulous plot awareness that's on the horizon but no idea how they come to pass, so my mind keeps wandering wondering if this or that is related. focus!

CASTIEL Yes. Would you say that you're looking for, uh, a partner in crime... ...or, uh, someone who's into nurse role-play and light domination? DWIGHT Brother, it's 10:00 a.m. on a Tuesday.

sir, this is a wendy's

lovely shot but it feels like the shiny happy people version of s1 true detective which is on the brain because of this video of a deleted scene i posted a bit ago which is just (gorgeous) extended moody atmospheric location shots of coastal louisiana set to appropriate music

SAM Honestly, for the first time in a long time, it feels like we're gonna win. I'm good.

TAKE IT BACK, SAM.

dean's just trying to help!

the sick damp puppy look is just too precious for words. dean, give him a hug and some soup

lovely lovely. even more true detective s1 vibes (that season of that show was one of the most beautiful things... southern gothic atmospherics off the charts. ugh. i made an edit with it and hannibal because the rust cohle is will graham is rust cohle of it all)

true detective s1e2 seeing things

DEAN Anything? You've been gone long enough. CASTIEL No. There was one female, but... DEAN What? CASTIEL ...I don't think she was female

heavy sigh. transphobic jokes are evergreen

followed up by dean being flabbergasted for .. 10 seconds? that the cupid love match thing was two men. fuck you, show. i know, it's nothing new. but back to back, i'm exponentially annoyed

and i'm so disinterested in this heaven business i'd never looked up naomi's actress. she was sam carter on sg1! totally did not recognize her without the blonde hair. i didn't watch a ton of sg1 but enough to be quite familiar with the mains

stargate sg-1 amanda tapping as samantha carter

anyway. back to sam being half dead and abaddon smoking out (was it red? they did this with crowley too and i wasn't sure it wasn't just the lighting on the black smoke)

again the twilight/zombie looks good on him

this crowley thing.. this whole girls (tv series) speech his voice is higher pitched and the accent changed? what is going on

and are we supposed to be feeling something about crowley crying and wanting help from sam with asking for forgiveness? the time given his speech and music says yes, but my brain says excuse me what now. offering his neck up like bella, mushy music swells

DEAN Metatron lied. You finish this trial, you're dead, Sam. SAM So?

glad i knew that was coming

okay so i've watched this whole church scene several times now trying to figure out why it's not hitting any emotional buttons. padalecki is working his ass off and doing amazing and i'm getting nothing from jackles, subsequently i'm feeling not much of anything. did they break my emotions? which is extra weird because the text of this conversation is like.. romantic catnip? should be breaking and remaking my heart and yet...? just for a hint at the end the music reminded me of the expanse and THAT made me feeling a little something. so, like a broken record, i'm blaming this partially on the musical score.

SAM Look at him. Look at him! Look how close we are! Other people will die if I don't finish this! DEAN Think about it. Think about what we know, huh? Pulling souls from hell, curing demons, hell, ganking a Hellhound! We have enough knowledge on our side to turn the tide here. But I can't do it without you. SAM You can barely do it with me. I mean, you think I screw up everything I try. You think I need a chaperone, remember? DEAN Come on, man. That's not what I meant. SAM No, it's exactly what you meant. You want to know what I confessed in there? What my greatest sin was? It was how many times I let you down. I can't do that again. DEAN Sam -- SAM [beginning to cry] What happens when you've decided I can't be trusted again? I mean, who are you gonna turn to next time instead of me? Another angel, another -- another vampire? Do you have any idea what it feels like to watch your brother just –

like this really should be stabbing me in the gut and it's just not and it is such a shame because really, padalecki is doing so good with it. damnit, show, what did you do

DEAN Hold on, hold on! You seriously think that? Because none of it -- none of it -- is true. Listen, man, I know we've had our disagreements, okay? Hell, I know I've said some junk that set you back on your heels. But, Sammy...come on. I killed Benny to save you. I'm willing to let this bastard and all the sons of bitches that killed mom walk because of you. Don't you dare think that there is anything, past or present, that I would put in front of you! It has never been like that, ever! I need you to see that. I'm begging you.

"don't you dare think that there is anything, past or present, that I would put in front of you" like hello, feelings, this is insane, where are you

the only part that worked for me is the little handfasting moment

do not to get to see this soft smile very often

DEAN Just let it go. SAM I can't. It's in me, Dean. You don't know what this feels like. [DEAN wraps a bandanna around Sam’s cut.] DEAN Hey, listen,we will figure it out, okay, just like we always do. Come on. DEAN Come on. Let it go, okay? Let it go, brother. SAM Hey, Dean. DEAN See? [ SAM Breathing shakily then Sam doubles over in pain. DEAN brings SAM outside the church. ] DEAN Sam? I got you, little brother. You're gonna be just fine.

calling him brother and little brother in one go

apparently i've forgotten already how cas and megatron left things in the time i spent trying to wrap my head around my (lack of) emotional reaction to the church thing. ah right, it was a spell, needed castiel's grace. that's why it's raining angels

the music, the effects.. this all hit the right notes at least. reminded me a smidge of stranger things with the music and rain and the car and ominous things happening in the sky.

see, imagine this show, but with the music of stranger things. like, really well done music cues, not just bad generic weird fake rock blues whatever and classic rock because we have one character note about his musical preferences and we're gonna ride it into the ground. i'm so bitter about the music in this show letting it down! lol

so why did fandom glom on to the spelling of cas? since it's pronounced cass. and is cass in the captions and scripts. having never heard it but seen it a bunch, i assumed it was going to be pronounced caz. cass too feminine?

(for the record one tear came from the expanse-like musical cue and i don't think spn gets the credit for it. i'm stunned, honestly)

so sometimes, i will admit, i have a kneejerk dislike - or anger, of something that seems irrational considering my shipping preferences. like, in 2x11 playthings and sam honestly looks like he's about to kiss dean, i was mad. i felt like they were baiting this thing that would never go anywhere, i was pissy about the gay jokes in the scenes prior at the front desk. now with separation and seeing 6 more seasons, i see how they actually have often stuck to this plausible deniability romance dynamic between them and made it more textual without making the impossible full commit to gay incest on the CW.

i don't think that's what's going on with me and the church thing because i'm not like freaked out->upset->pissy, i'm just... not feeling it. super weird

trying to keep a list of the horrifying results of castiel's attempts to do the right thing.... there's just so many 🤪

[agalnamedlunasea]

Hi hi hi HELLO! @shslskaterboy tagged me to post 10 songs I've been listening to lately so uhhhhhhh here it is 👍

I have been loving the new FOB album so so much, since it got released, and this is one of my (four...) favorites!

It just sounds so good, I love the lyrics and Patrick's voice :>

MåneskinMåneskinMåneskinMåneskinMåneskin aaaa they're so good! The vibes here are so good, so sexy and cool and im absolutely obsessed with it

MORE MÅNESKIN bc they're so good. This one is more simple, but I like that about it. It really gets in my head and stays there. Also I absolutely want to eat the way they use guitars in every song and thus one is a good example imo

Yeah more fob. Watch me struggle in real time to not put all my faves from so much (for) stardust on here. I really like this one too, the lyrics really grab me lol

Last one I promise. This one just takes me to a particular moment in time, which I feel like the whole album does but this one in particular for me. I also really love the feel of the instrumentals? Idk how to describe really I just like it

Hajime song. To me. The animatic in my head is so good I prommy

Quick warning, this one focuses a lot on gender dysphoria (the album is 'gender dysphoria blues' so. Obvious. But still 👍)

Anyway this song is so fucking good and I love Laura jane grace's voice. Real tearing your guts out in pain vibes to the way she sings it its fantastic

Im never not gonna recommend this song actually its really good. The lyrics and the way it builds just really hits me aaaa its so good and more people should listen to it

I love more!jump!more! She is like caffeine to me :]

The last one is telecaster b boy and im putting the mv bc I think about it daily I love it so so much.... wonderlands x showtime my skrunklies...

Anyway,,, I am. Too tired to tag anyone, so I guess this ends w me. But tysm for tagging me James my best friend James :>

[3gremlins]

so we finished season 3 of picard and it was just...so bad??!? ( bigger spoilers below)

it felt like the writers didn't even watch season 2 and therefore just did a worse version of s2 with the borg stuff (which is sad b/c the s2 agnes/borg queen stuff was really interesting! i would have loved to see that develop further. even if i didn't really like s2 that much it was still better than s3). idk it was just a boring retread of stuff they'd already covered in s1-2. Even the stinger at the end of the season was such a boring reveal b/c we just had a whole season with kinda boring Q hijinks (time travel shouldn't be boring AND YET. s2 gave real fringe s5 vibes T.T)

worf was still the best part tho, like spinoff with worf pls (riker and geordi can come. honestly everyone but picard and jack can come b/c everyone else is vastly more interesting).

honestly the biggest issue i have with the show is it doesn't seem to know what it is or who it is for (is it picard having a 2nd life with new people and experiencing new things? is it a nostalgia driven look at these characters as they age? does it want to invite in new viewers or is it for old fans?) and it keeps trying to split the difference and fail at both.

especially when you compare it to Strange New Worlds and Discovery which are fun and innovative w/the ip, it feels so clunky and dull. Anyway s1-2 are okay/fine (they have some good moments where you're like "oh maybe?" but a lot of times they repeat narrative devices like "in media res" and "i bet you're wondering how i got here" that drag it down) but s3 is just not good.

The whole "secret picard kid" thing felt kinda flat too since it was just a boring version of his arc with Elnor, superior adopted son (who was mysteriously never mentioned in s3 along with Seven/Raffi's relationship being reduced significantly...guess it got too gay :c )

also the whole "fuck them kids" plot device that felt like it was designed appeal to boomer audiences was just real weird and forced like i'm sorry but there's got to be a better way to just have your old dog crew w/o just fridging all your new characters* anyway don't really recommend, if you finished SNW and Discovery and are jonesing for more ST, i'd maybe just watch those again lol (or watch ds9/voyager instead of this)

(still loved worf tho, worf is best. the times where worf is offscreen are the worst)

*i also have questions about the non-human crew mates like romulans are much longer lived than humans and so are several other species so would they even mature at the same rate/be subject to the same issues as the human ones (it felt like they were kinda arbitrary with it like, these characters are played by actors under 25 therefore it counts)

January 8, 2023

So much has happened. Yesterday we went to The Row to support Hatty at Maum.  We got in line for pizza at Bianco b/c a line was already forming before the restaurant opened.  After taking turns entertaining the girls we got in.  We were like, there’s no way it lives up to the hype.  I mean come on, its pizza. But wow it really lived up to the hype.  I didn’t watch the Netflix documentary but Jason described the legend and I knew enough to assume that this was like God’s gift to man in pizza form or something crazy like that.  So I had high expectations too.  But seirously I was blown away by how delicious it was.  We liked the New York style thin pizzas the best.  And I was shocked but I may have liked the Salami the best (which is usually not my thing).  But upon further consideration I think I would love to just eat the regular old Margherita.  Everything else was good (the lemon, the sicilian, the green one, etc.) but the tomato sauce was so good. and the crunch was so satisfying on the thin pizza that’s what I’d want to eat over and over again.  

We couldn’t get into Maum b/c the line was too long so we dropped off a box of pizza for Hatty and bounced.  Jason mentioned that his friends were playing pickelball and asked if we wanted to stop by.  I said yeah let’s do it.  We kind of waffled on whether to go or not because we weren’t sure if the timing would even work out but we did.  We go and its actually a ton of fun.  Jen was there so she and I played, while trying to avoid hitting the kids lol.  But Dani wanted water so I took her to the car to get her water but when I get back Jen runs up and she’s like Jason got hurt.  I was like .. no.  because Pete had just gotten injured a few weeks prior.  I walk over and Jason is like I think I tore my achilees.  I feel the back of his heel on his normal leg, and it feels normal but I feel the heel on his other leg and its just mushy.  No bone/tendon.  We immediately go to my mom’s (after a miscommunication w/ my mom) and then realize she’s at our house so we go home and my mom watches the girls while we go to the ER.  Man I felt pretty dirty after being at the hospital b/c there was a homeless guy there that smelled so bad.  and there were people who were yelling out in pain. it was just a weird vibe. they warned us it could take a long time so I went to get everyone homestate, dropped it off for jason and then went home to relieve my mom.  also jason’s phone died so he wanted to keep my phone to stave off his boredom but also so I could contact him.  I felt so naked driving around w/o my phone in the minivan b/c I couldn’t look directions up. I just had to trust my memory (which it was easy to do given we know the Kaiser Sunset so well but still). 

I get home, relieve my mom, put the girls to sleep, and then wait.  Eventually I go back to get Jason and he’s waiting with crutches. He has to basically jump on one leg up all of our stairs (our house is so not ADA compliant) and he’s sleeping on the couch right now because it would be too hard for him to sleep in either of the girls’ rooms without waking them up with his crutches.  At first I thought I should sleep on the couch b/c I didn’t see how he could go get dani but he said he could just use the crutches to go into her room and then throw her on the bed lol.  But we realized he can just take her out of the crib and then she can walk on her own.  

Today I took the girls to church and jason stayed home and oh my god it was not fun.  I couldn’t focus on any convo because dani was just a menace at the table.  I was terrified whenever she grabbed one of the ceramic plates, sure she was going to throw it down on the ground and send shards flying.  But lunch was actually super delicious.  I’m already craving the tomato and egg with hand cut noodles.  I might try to make tomato and egg this week. 

After we went to get boba and then ofc dani poops. so we walk over to a courtyard area with a bathroom but I have to carry dani the whole time.  In total after we got there, I changed dani’s diaper 2x (thank god for trudy providing us with wipes and diapers) and I took naya (and wes haha) to the bathroom 3x. The whole time was just a brief intermission between going to the bathroom.  

I felt spent by the time we got home but had to do some work.  I’m scared that there’s going to be a lot of work this week since people are really going to be back from vacation now.  But just got to face it head on. 

Also I really hope the ortho calls soon so Jason can go in and ask for the surgery.  We both want him to get it because it seems like the recovery time is shorter and recovery is more assured.  Johnny or Paul was saying today that they know someone who tore their ACL like 3x.  Tore it once and then every time they tried to take their boot off it would just re-tear again.  I don’t want that for Jason. It seems like if you just do natural healing, you just have to hope your tendon re-attaches together and it eventually heals, which could take like a full year.  What a weird thing to happen.  Stiill doesn’t feel fully real.

[realwaldojeffers]

thank you! not too much work left for me i hope haha

my first language is russian and i also speak a tiny bit of german! been too long since i practiced it though

thank you for recs on bowie and VU!! i'm far from an expert on them lmao so i'll listen to these albums! i've only listened to earlier bowie albums from the man who sold the world to diamond dogs i think. life on mars must be one of my faves, i remember having it on repeat for WEEKS last year lmao. i dreamed of getting hunky dory on vinyl but couldn't find it in my local record stores :( the same with many other bowie, UV and lou albums too, no idea why they're such rare animals here. a ziggy copy i have must be one of the best sounding records in my whole collection tho! do you collect physical media?

i love velvet goldmine too!! i love todd haynes' style and it really does kinda feel like an ao3 fanfic lmao. this kind of biopics must be my favorite, when they're unauthorized or loosely based on actual stories. do you have any favorite music biopics?

my favorite artists are the beatles and john lennon! and as for the third one ehh.. even though it's not classic rock i'll say lana del rey, ever since her new single came out i've been listening to it obsessively

i see you love beatles too, so i'm just gonna say my favorite albums by them are the white album and magical mystery tour! as for john, my absolute fav of his is walls & bridges, but i guess imagine would be a good place to start as it's his dreamiest and maybe... softest? while still showing some of his edgier sides of the early 70s. plastic ono band is close to my favs after W&B but it definitely can feel too unsettling, not without lighter parts though. his part of double fantasy is full of highlights too (i like yoko's songs too though!) ugh sorry i could talk about john for hours really lmao

and as for lana- since we're into classic rock i think ultraviolence is right up that alley. it sounds so timeless it could well fit into the 70s. my other favs of hers are honeymoon and blue banisters!

i wish i watched more music documentaries and concerts but it's often too hard bc i know i'll never get to experience it live 😭 i've seen the beatles' shea concert tho and it was good! do you have favorite live shows and docs?

Once again, srry that it took me forever to reply and omg it’s almost Christmas lol But I’m excited to finally know you btw

By this time, you probably are done with your work, right? I hope that is the case so you can finally have a nice winter rest

I also try to learn German too cause like I have been obsessed with so many German artists for so long, the obvious one is Nico 😂 and also I love Kraftwerk and Rammstein, but my knowledge in German is limited to the random odd of the language

I’m also a big fan of Bowie early work too, just not so much on his folkish day lol. Still, The man who sold the world gotta be one of the my most fav albums of all time. Hunky is amazing too! Life On Mars is literally one of the song that hooked me on to David. I’m not sure if you knew this but the song Queen Bitch from this album is literally David trying to do a VU-style songwriting. So basically the narrator of that song supposed to be Lou or smth lol So yeah another weird Bowie-Lou Reed fanfic vibe 😂

About Vinyl, all of my fav artists’ records are hard to find here too, except for Bowie lol he is everywhere for some reason so prob a good thing. But no one in Thailand seems to know Velvet Underground or Lou hahaha.

I don’t own much records cause they are tbh quite expensive for me. But I have Diamond Dogs, VU’s debut album, and Lou’s Coney Island Baby on vinyl. All of them are the best things ever! But I do collect a lot of CDs

I truly not very big on biopic but Nowhere Boys is very amazing in my opinion. I love that films very much. I see that you are a big Beatles fans, what do you think about the film? I’m not sure about the accuracy but I think it’s beautiful how they depict Lennon-McCartney friendship.

Omg! I love Lana too! She is one of my all time fav artists and songwriters! Her new songs are so amazing. I’m alway intrigued by her lyrics and the way she expresses them

I haven’t listened to all of the White Albums and Magic Mysteries but so far I love George’s guitar style in the White Album so much that it’s prob gonna be my new favorite Beatles album. Personally, Let It Be is my favorite album by them but I haven’t watch the Get Back doc yet so I might need to do that!

Thank you for your recommendation on John’s music! I have been interested in John and Yoko’s works for sometime now but didn’t know where to start. They are such an iconic artistic present of the past century!

You probably have psychic ability for sure cause recently I just put Ultraviolence on repeat lol. Also it’s just delighted me how she put Lou’s name in Brooklyn Baby >< For Kana, I also love Honeymoon and Norman Fucking Rockwell

For live concert, I think I watched a bit too much Bowie’s live tbh. But I just cannot resist cause his stage crafts are just one of the best and his shows are my comfort place. I think Ziggy’s live and Diamond’s Dog’s live (you can see those in Cracked Actors’s doc) are probably his best. My fav act is the one he did Hamlet with Cracked Actors. But the one that comfort me the most is the Glass Spider tour live tbh. It’s a pretty meh album overall but the live show are so great and late 80s Bowie is like a father figure to me so I come back to that all the time

Not sure if you’ve watched Hayes’ Velvet Underground documentary yet but it’s very good! It could be focus too much on the early years of the band at time and doesn’t go beyond the post-John era so much but still there are a lot of direct history to learn from the doc as it has John and Moe, as well as, everyone who involved with the band and New York avant-garde scene of the 60s. Still, I personally think it doesn’t talk enough about Sterling Morrison and completely dismiss Doug Yule which is a bit sad. But I understand where Hayes is coming from tho, having John as the strongest present of the band as the leading narrative lol. Also the film is a bit pro-John Cale cause well… Lou is dead 😐 so that is a head-up

Anyways, I hope you have a great holiday and cannot wait to know who you are!

Tons of love,

Tawan!

does anyone remember the clara / 1 paintdoktahwho comic "dont take that one. take the tv"

thats what im thinking ot

(askdjlad UGH my iplayer stopped so i refreshed and while skipping to the place i think i spoiled my self for susan ?? TOT sutpid internet stupid preview skipping thumbnail function grrrr) im not a tardis smasher in general but the memory tardis….. would. maybe

"remember it harder" i would be a useless companion here tbh. memory of a goldfish.i would doom the earth.

IT'S A TV SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S TELLING THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE

I MADE A JIGSAW OF YOUR HISTORY SDKLFJSLKJF

AAAAAGHHH

oh ok i jut got spoiled for the clip OF susan sdlkfjdskl FALSE ALARM FOLKS

"never yours again, never"

my angels of death………………..

"i find that good" i feel they did this same exact phrasing once for a "death is beautiful" monster like this but i cant remember which story?

also, flux? flux anyone? 13 vs entropy itself?

"i am an extinction event" OOF

(oh this clicks on why the doctor clings sm to living / immortality despite how much it hurts)

memory is a time machine TOT idk but that Hits Harder

"sutes" dlkjfslfk cute

"and doesnt it feel good?" holy shit

MEL GRABBING SIX'S COAT IM FINEIM FINE IM FINE

(idk why but that's what's made me cry slkfjsd)

"ruby roo" sdkljsfd

lasdkj if a regular tardis is 6 people driven then a memory tardis is probably meant to be piloted by every single doctor and companion ever

"meleanie b" TOT (doctor trait unlocked: when 15 is stressed he intensifies on the cutsey nicknames)

CHEKOV'S INGELLITEN GLOVE !!!!! damn i thought for a second about putting that on my bingo card but didnt skldfj

i like that the subtext of "when disaster comes, he's there" / "the tardis is an ommen of death" & "he has one constant companion… death" isn't literally being stated as being "sutekh did it lol" lol cause that would feel a lil cheap. i think instead rtd took a smarter choices of keeping that subtext, but keeping it that stricly speaking what sutekh did was just putting the susan copies everywhere.

73 yards……………

omg wait so in a memory tardis u can remmeber anything to existence………….. what if heiimagines susan at the end

(MOLECULAR BOND ROGUE CALL BACK?)

73 yards…………. HOW DO U KNOW THAT. I JUST DO. SHE'S JUST GOOD AT CONVERTING UNITS DAMN. LET RUBY BE GOOD AT UNIT CONVERSIONS DOCTOR.

ohh wait so this connects perception filters and 73 yards. put on a pin on that (and presumably……. taking down the perception filter is what happened re: ruby? that's why people ran away? people saw beyond her perception filter to the elderitch abomination bellow?)

"you've landed on earth a 100th times" is probably a huuude understimation lol

"she was reborn stronger each time. this monumental figure" dr. who as a cultural institution meta

shots outside the tardis my beloved

1999….. the movie... 2005 …. obvious. 1066 was the fire of london right? with 5?

this is rlly working for me ngl. dr who is all about death meta but it's literal but it's not

and a lso the whole. when u are a time traveler everyone is already dead. we must be like ghosts to u . etc etc

telos… THE OOD SPHERE noooo

mel being like "well…. at least 1% of the universe is fine. that's all right then" .

this |5 "it's all my fault" beat feels a lil' weird until u remember [all the traumas] / flux trauma and then it's like yeah i getchu doc i too take everything bad that happens as proof that it is my fault even tho, factually, it makes no sense as a reaction. trauma/depression girlies united.

THE SUN IS DEAD. rip 42's sun.

omg thank u sutekh for finally fixing that over-blue colorization in the unit set. not all heroes wear capes tbh.

aaaand the end.

fade to black.

doctor who is done! we can all go home and become trekkies everybody. congrats!

[paradigmsofbrittaperry]

I’m still watching New Girl, but I haven’t enjoyed season 3 as much as I enjoyed seasons 1 and 2. and not because it’s bad, just because I’m kind of bored? and it feels like something is missing, idk what though. all of this to say that I might watch the last four episodes of season 3 and then take a break from it to go finally catch up on Riverdale.

[catcze]

Hey Catte, I'm a new anon here. This is the first time I've actually asked for a request so im scared I'll get this wrong lmao. So today my dads father passed away, and im feeling really in loss, cause this is the first time i've lost family. I was wondering if I could request fluff w/ kazuha with him comforting the reader after losing a family member? Please ignore it if you can't<3. Also, if I could be an anon, could I be 🐇 anon? If not, then 🌹 anon? Thanks if ya take up this request. <3

Hey, sugar <3 Unfortunately, my requests aren't open now, on account of, well, stuff HAHA But I felt this was rather important, so I managed to whip something quick up that'll hopefully still have the same vibe as an actual request !! Sending comforting forehead kisses n warm bowls of soup (if u like soup??) your way babe <3 (also dw dw, you got the whole ‘sending a request’ thing perfectly fine)

Also, it ended up not being, like, all that fluffy, aside from the fluff that comes with comfort and hugs :(( imo it veers more on the hurt/comfort genre? I wasn’t sure how to really make the ‘comforting after a loss’ realistically mainly fluffy, so I had to go with a mixture. I hope it’s not a problem, babe </3

⠀!! Feat: Fluff & angst and hurt/comfort, can be romantic or platonic, comforting hugs, modern AU bc i didn’t feel like conforming to his in-game flowery speech, i tried to b vague with how the reader copes with grief since people all deal w it differently, but the reader cries + isolates themself in their room + calls Kazuha to not be alone + wants physical touch as a comfort

Kazuha is quiet when he approaches you first, careful to not overwhelm you or to do anything that might make you uncomfortable.

He enters into your room to find you perched on the bed, head hanging low. When he asks if he can come in, you don’t say anything–– merely scooting to the side to make room for him. 

He doesn’t touch you, doesn’t say anything while you cry, muffling the sounds with your hand. He’s not sure what you need right now, but if your short call asking him to come over was any indication, he at least knows that you want him here with you.

For some time, the only sound in the air is your crying. It goes on for a bit, until your throat is scratchy and your voice hoarse. Kazuha doesn’t move from where he sits the entire time–– doesn’t reach out to touch you, doesn’t attempt to hug you without your say-so. All he does is sit and wait, let his presence help ground you, and wait for you to come to him. 

It takes some time, but eventually your sobs taper off into quiet hiccups, and only when you tentatively reach out to grip the sleeve of his hoodie does Kazuha turn to look at you. 

Your eyes are watery, lips cracked. Your skin is warmed from how long you’ve cried, and even the hand that grips his clothes so tightly trembles. Kazuha stays quiet, waiting for you to say something maybe, though you say nothing, eyes looking anywhere else but him.

“...do you want some water?” is what he says first, in a quiet voice. There’s no pity there, no judgement as he watches your sad, trembling form. Just empathy and everlasting patience. When you nod, his other arm goes to the paper bag he had brought in with him, pulling out a bottle of water and easily cracking the seal for you, the noise resounding in the silence of your room.

He hands it to you, eyes watching a bit more intently to make sure you don’t just gulp it all down (it would just make you feel worse–– instead, he makes sure you take small sips until the bottle is at least half-empty.) Kazuha doesn’t say anything the entire time, letting you take things at your own pace. The silence between you goes unbroken for the time being–– even when you swing your legs onto his lap, and curl yourself into him

Kazuha tentatively begins to rub your side, his hand a comforting warmth. To his relief, you burrow further against him instead of pulling away, and he rests his chin on the top of your head, hoping that his presence could benefit you.

A few more seconds of silence–– then your sniffles start up again, growing and growing until the tears come once more, and you’re crying into his hoodie, eyes tightly closed and hands fisted in the fabric while you hold him close to you as you sob. And he lets you. Kazuha’s arms come to hold you–– one draping across your thighs while the other wraps around your middle, holding you–– curving around you as if he could shield you from all the grief and sorrow if he tried hard enough.

“I– I miss––” it’s hard for you to say, the words coming out garbled and hiccupy around your sobs. It’s hard to accept, to acknowledge. Saying the words out loud are enough to truly make you realize who you’ve lost. You can’t even complete the sentence before a pained sound escapes you.

“I know,” Kazuha says, his tone a soothing lull. A melody that never fails to calm you, even in the worst of times. His hand goes to rub absent circles on your skin. Even as you sob and cry into his jacket, dampening it with your tears, his hold on you does not once falter. If anything, he holds you even closer, rubbing your back while you let it all out.

At times like these, there’s nowhere else that Kazuha would be than by your side. Even if his his legs go numb, even if his hoodie is stained with your tears, there’s nowhere else he would rather be. He coos quietly as you keep crying, a comforting sound.

Because even as you are sad and in pain and fractured into a million bits on the ground, for as long as you will let him, Kazuha will always be there to help you pick up the pieces.

bertholdt, connie, eren, + jean w/ a black reader

pairings: b. hoover x black!reader, c. springer x black!reader, e. yeager x black!reader, j. kirstein x black reader

an: ok so it’s been back and worth with me and this account but i swear ima be serious this time. i have a taglist if y’all ever wanna keep up with me!

b. hoover

- bertholdt would prolly be really chill with the idea of being in a interracial relationship (girl bye bertie is literally afro latino 🙄)

- bertie would literally just vibe with you and celebrate your culture in an appropriate way.

- although he’s perceived as timid, bertholdt shocks a lot of people when he starts defending you. reiner had accidentally put something you didn’t like in your food and bertholdt just started going off on him.

- you can trust bertholdt with making beauty supply runs for you.

“Hey babe, I got the oil you wanted and there’s like extra things I picked up for you as well.”

- and it’s like a lip liner and a new bonnet😭

c. springer

- i’m not even joking, connie is afro latino. like i’m being fr. so like you have nothing to worry about 😭

- you vibe so well with his parents- they love you so much!

- connie is an awesome cook. he be making some boom dinner. it’s always fun cooking with him.

- i feel like you and connie would be the “gossiping type” of couple but like y’all don’t gossip. you’re the couple that hangs out in the corner and whisper ‘sweet’ nothings to eachother and people watch y’all and think you’re talking smack.

“after this, let’s go to an iHop of something. their pancakes are better than the crap here.”

e. yeager

- a whole roller coaster with this one

- getting with eren was kind of hard because everyone knows him. so when they saw you with him for the first time, a lot of people weren’t happy and weren’t too kind with their words.

- esp eren’s dad. his birth mom vibes with you but dr. yeager could put holes in the back of your neck if he wanted. he and eren don’t talk anymore because eren can tell right from wrong. he doesn’t want you to deal with his dad’s slick and some times microagressive comments.

- i feel like he asks random questions about your lifestyle.

“why do you wear a hat to sleep?”

“it’s a bonnet and it keeps my hair safe as i sleep.”

“why wouldn’t hair be safe without it…?”

j. kirstein

- jean is like obsessed with you but not in like a weird way. like he’ll do everything for you. he’ll open the car door for you, push your chair in, give you massages, all dat 😭

- he likes to draw and paint you a lot. you’re always amazed by his work. you’re literally his muse

- jean literally cannot dance 😕 you’re so embarrassed by him but that don’t mean you won’t help him out. you started off by teaching him cookout/party dances because there was no way he was gonna embarrass you

- you always feel bad for jean’s mom because ever since y’all started dating, he refuses to take food from her. i love mrs. kirstein but…😕 anyways, your food slaps 😋

Wait for me [baji x reader]

pairings: keisuke baji x fem!reader

summary: in which you two part ways.

word count: 824

warnings: cursing, slight angst, unedited

Baji sat next to you on the sidewalk, briefly glancing at the side of your face before directing his vision straight ahead.

“Are you still mad?” Baji suddenly whispered into the night air and you slowly looked down at your sneakers, twisting them slightly on the pavement.

“A little.” You replied quietly and then silence seemed to fill the atmosphere between you guys. The both of you continued to sit in front of your house, lips tucked tightly together while purposely avoiding the obvious elephant in the room.

Baji finally broke, no longer being able to take the suffocating vibe that had snaked its way around your beings. He sucked his teeth loudly before turning himself to face you completely, moving his head so he was now right in your face.

“Look at me.” He softly demanded while angrily furrowing his eyebrows, and eventually you moved your eyes reluctantly to stare into his glazed ones.

“This whole thing is hard for the both of us. I don’t want you to go- hell, before I came here I was actually on my way to go and lay down in front of the truck just so you couldn’t leave me.” Baji grumbled, a vein suddenly appearing on his forehead as he continued his speech. 

“But even though it hurts like shit to see you go so far away, I also can understand that moving is the best thing for you to do right now, especially since you can better pursue your career at this new place. And with that being said…” 

Baji abruptly reached into his front pocket, digging in it slightly before gradually pulling his hand back out. He then moved his clenched fist so that it stopped in front of you, and your eyes widened once he slowly opened his fingers to reveal what he was hiding.

“I want you to have this.”

It was a necklace, a locket to be exact, with a picture of you and Baji smiling with each other when you opened it.

“Turn it around.” Baji motioned his head as he sheepishly watched you inspect the chain with an amazed expression adorning your face. You slowly moved the locket just to see that it had the letter B engraved into the gold surface and you looked back up at Baji as he winked at you.

“So that I’ll always be with you.” He boasted and his nose crinkled slightly as he smiled at you. “I got the exact same one back at home, only it has your initial instead.”

“Baji, that’s so sweet.” You chimed in response, grabbing and moving your hair to the side so he could carefully clasp it around your neck.

“Yeah, Chifuyu helped me make it and showed me how to stick the picture inside, and speaking of which, that had to have been the hardest shit I’ve ever done in my life.” Baji snorted while shaking his head which made you laugh slightly, and upon hearing the hint of happiness in your voice, Baji looked up at you warmly.

“The gang also wanted me to tell you that they’re going to miss you too.” Baji suddenly said, and you nodded your head as you thought of all the boys you’ve grown closer to over the years.

“Tell Toman that I’ll miss them too, and that I’m counting on them to keep you safe.” You replied back and Baji chucked at your response.

“Keep me safe?” Baji repeated before moving his eyes to look at the stars in the sky, grinning slightly to himself. “You’re looking at the toughest man in Toman right now, nothing can take me down.”

“If you say so.” You rolled your eyes, knowing that your strong Baji would be just fine even with you gone.

“God, I’m going to miss you.” Baji said while squinting his eyes, a frown now shaping his lips. “I’m going to miss you so damn much.” 

You turned your head to see Baji still staring up at the sky, only this time tears were steadily falling down his cheeks and his bottom lip was slightly quivering. You scooted closer to him, affectionately moving the pad of your thumb to wipe his face.

“I’ll be back before you know it, and then we can be together as long as we want.” You assured, playfully scrunching up your eyebrows as you pointed at him. “And you better promise me that you’ll wait for me or else.” 

Baji slowly stopped his crying and he turned his head towards you, smiling largely with closed eyes and his palm now wrapped around your hand that was still placed on his face. Baji would wait for you until the end of time If he had to because he loved you so much, and he would make it his mission to still be here so he could marry you one day. 

He opened his glossy eyes, pointing his thumb to his chest while giving you one of his signature smirks.

“I promise.”

[tfw-no-tennis]

tfes thoughtz

not quite a liveblog as I am wont to do but ruth and I watched tf earthspark so I figured id write down scattered thoughts bc who KNOWS when the next eps are dropping and id love to remember what I think of things whenever that rolls around

so let me start off by saying this show is banger. we rlly like it so far awww

still also gotta say rip cyberverse, that show was SO good and died too soon :( 

but yeah I like this show a lot!!! I rlly dig how it looks, I wasn’t sure about the art style/3d animation at first but it looks really good. better than cyberverse if I'm honest (sorry cybv your budget probably wasn’t as good its not ur fault)

I loooove that we’re starting off at an interesting point in which the autobot-decepticon war is over and has been for a while, and megatron is on the same side as the bots, but there’s still conflict....LOVE IT 

cyberverse was also based for having the war going on but in a different way than shows usually did, and having the sides kind of aware of how fruitless the fighting was, and then eventually w the quintessons the two sides had to unite. anyways I have a whole separate post on cyberverse so I should chill 

the human characters are great. I feel like there's the right amount of focus on them and I really dig the family dynamic we’re getting. the kids are cute and fun and I love their relationships w/the bots...I love that mo calls OP “mr optimus” awww

I love the parents also. alex husband of the year he’s so great. and dorothy is so cool and I LOVE her and megatron. they’re like platonic malewife-girlboss. power bffs. 

LOVE how she doesn’t like OP but like megatron. SO funny. 

I really enjoy that the robots aren’t ‘in disguise’ either - the world seems to be aware of them and their existence and the war that went on. that’s cool! I like that a lot; ik the tagline for tf is ‘robots in disguise’ and all but if u think about it they weren’t really hidden in g1 even

Love that there’s comics about the tfs in canon too

I really like this bumblebee!! his design is so cute and I really appreciate that he isn’t ‘the kid’ in this, and has to assume a more mentor-like role. very cool and entertaining

ok and the terrans are adorable. theyre just babies and I love them. I looove how they were adopted into the malto family its so cute. I’m enjoying them and their antics and I feel like there’s a great mix of cute hijinks w/them learning how to be tfs, and also with other plot stuff 

LOOOOVE the plot implications. JUICY!!!!!!!!!! GHOST is so fucking sketchy I LOVE THAT. I love that OP is working for them, and has a sense of ‘I’m doing this for the greater good/this is a means to an end (the end being peace)’ but OP seems to know that GHOST is sketchy as fuck - with him hiding the terrans’ existence and bumblebee being alive from them...but also he tells megatron to give them a chance, which is very OP of him, so that makes sense, but I’m curious if it’ll blow up in his face ((it totally will))

megatron was RIGHT in that one ep where he was trashing GHOST. them having all those cons locked up is bad news. and ruth pointed out that we haven’t even seen who’s in charge of GHOST which is pretty concerning.

also I can’t believe that one agent guy isn’t voiced by will arnett bc he totally sounds like him 

I super loved the flashbacks of the cybertronian history that were animated in g1 style :’) it reminded me of in tfa where they used clips from g1 as part of the history lesson 

I loooove megatron in this show he’s so cool. he gives me some mtmte megatron vibes - he basically says that he agreed to join GHOST/the autobot side in order to protect the cons from worse consequences. I’m interested to hear more about the war and what went on. I’d love some war flashbacks personally

I like that he clearly doesn’t want to hurt the decepticons or hand them over to GHOST, and also the cons think of him as a traitor, but it seems rough for cons out there. what else are they gonna do?

I think it would be epic if they paralleled OP and megatron - with OP joining up with GHOST bc he think he’s doing the right thing for his species and humans, only to discover that GHOST is fr bad news - and megatron binding himself to service w/GHOST and the autobots in exchange for supposed safety (?or something? Not super clear what the cons/megatron got out of that bargain) for the cons, only to discover (as he basically already did) that the cons aren’t doing great out there and they think of him as a traitor

also mandroid is actually pretty interesting for a human villain. I was expecting not to like him (espec at the beginning, he reminded me of silas from tfp who ended up being a nuisance and didn’t really have a point in the plot imo) bc tf human villains are more often miss than hit but he’s interesting 

I like that he has pretty legit reasons to want to get rid of the “invasive species” (as a biologist I love that phrasing), after he got drafted into the war and then injured in friendly fire

LOVED the part where he talks about this and dot is like ‘yeah I also got injured in the war and that sucks for us but I’m judging you based on your actions and YOU suck’ that was so epic she’s so epic and cool

and he knows alex??? ?? fruity ????? are they exes??? whats the vibe. I bet alex used to work for GHOST and that’s how he and dot met

having a whole ass giant robot arm is wild tho. no way that’s how it works bro 

also what happened to swindle. he was so funny. he sounds like meowth from the 4kidz dub lmfao 

SOUNDWAVE BRO I fucking love him. icon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO happy that his cassettes are here and actually turn into cassettes and not other more modern stuff. I love that anachronism sm 

thank god frenzy is here. I hope rumble shows up too (tho bumblebee talking about how one of the cassettes exploded ???? hi????)

we saw starscream for like 0.2 seconds but I’m ready for him to cause havoc like the annoying bitch he is <333 

super interesting that the world is cut off from cybertron and has been for quite a while. I think OP also mentioned that the cybertronians on earth are likely the last of their kind - I’m curious if that’s true or if there’s a bunch of them on cybertron a la the 1984 movie. I bet there is, no way cybertron is empty. pleaseeee I want hot rod and ultra magnus and all them I’d cry 

also congrats to skywarp and nova storm and frenzy on the transgenderism <3 

oh yeah and I LOVE arcee. she’s like Question Authority Barbie. Bite Chomp Kill Barbie. SO good. I love her design and alt mode and how she taught the kids not to blindly follow the people in charge. ICON. 

the 3 new bots are cute, but ruth and I couldn’t get over the fact that they were born and then IMMEDIATELY thrown into a conflict before even getting alt modes. omg 

ruth: ‘they already have blue hair and pronouns tho!’

LMFAO TRUTH. I LOVEEEE that nightshade goes by they/them :’) we didn’t expect that at all and it was such a good surprise 

also hashtag gay???? #GAY???? 

can’t BELIEVE that bot is named hashtag. immmmmm 

tho ruth and I both agree that the cast is full enough and having 3 new terrans might be too much, so we’ll see how that goes - I kinda feel like they’ll end up more on the periphery and only show up sometimes. we’ll see tho! 

holy SHIT the fight scenes bro. specifically in the last 2 eps, oh my GOD. SOOOO fucking juicy. I’m gonna make a separate post abt that but they were EXCELLENT. one place I think cyberverse was weak in was the fight scenes - in s1 I would say they were actively boring (sorry cybv ily) and they got better but still were a bit clunky and awkward and formulaic. I feel like it was due to animation/budget constrictions more than anything 

but yeah these fights scenes rocked. I especially love the 2d smoke and fire effects 

I just wanna know more about the war too!!! like mandroid got injured, it seems, from friendly fire - did Dot as well? is that why she doesn’t seem to like or trust OP as much? 

also megatron has been working w them for 15 years - what were the previous 15 years like? what was the war like? why were they fighting? what exactly made them stop? how many other tfs are on earth? when did GHOST start being a thing? are there gonna be combiners???? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS. 

biggest Q is when are the next eps coming out. pls not in like 6 mos. 

also w the fight scenes. skywarp’s warping looks SO FUCKING COOOOOL I’m so glad. yesssss 

I feel kinda bad for the cons tbh. they seem scattered and lost, with no real leader, and they’re apparently disappearing (presumably mandroid) or being imprisoned by GHOST, who I'm SURE doesn’t have any ill intentions...I wonder if the show will continue to take a more sympathetic approach to the cons (kinda like mtmte, where they kinda had a point at the beginning before they lost the thread w/all the murdering and whatnot)

also I love everyone’s designs generally but I still think OPs face looks weird hgfajkdfksjndfkj whenever he has the faceplate off I'm like Put That Back On Please. 

I like that the humans are directly involved in the plot in a way that makes sense bc the human world has already been to war with/alongside the tfs, so there are a ton of different relationships that humans can have w/the tfs. this is way more interesting than st like tfp, which I think did a pretty bad job integrating the humans, or tfa, which had Sari w/a macguffin that was plot-important in order to keep her involved 

tbf that’s kinda going on w/the kids having links to the terrans but I like the way it’s played out so far. I love the suggestions of lore we’ve gotten too, w/quintus prime and stuff

also they’ve made a point of showing that symbol in the cave where the terrans were born MORE THAN ONCE, and it totally looks like those spiderbots, so I’m thinking there’s definitely a connection there. something weird is going on 

ok also SUPER fucking funny that wheeljack showed up and found out he kinda has a kid and IMMEDIATELY decides he’s a deadbeat dad hvbkjdsfbjksandfkl. I mean he came around in the end but that was so fucking funny. PLEASE SIR 

when they bonded by shooting at each other (lmao? classic tfs) and then twitch was like aww lets hug and he didn’t even notice lmfao sir plssss 

I wonder if the dinobots will show up and if they’ll still have been created by wheeljack (and ratchet) like in g1 

also kind of hilarious how megatron was like ‘no I don’t wanna hurt the cassettes’ and then when the seekers attacked he was like ‘fuck them kids’ and went all out fighting them lmao 

I’m super curious how the megatron starscream dynamic will be in this show 

oh yeah and ruth pointed out that it’s interesting that the three new terrans are bigger than the original 2 terrans and I feel like it’s bc they were created DURING an active conflict and basically got MTO’d into a fight. Ls 

firstborn vs secondborn vibes lmfao 

ok and quintus prime....r we gonna get quintessons. hello. I would LOVE that the quintessons are like my fav antagonists (especially in cyberverse they were so good. man I should rewatch cyberverse) 

I think the quintessons are perfect villains for cases like this where the autobots and decepticons aren’t fighting each other. I’d love to see the quintessons as the villains after GHOST is dealt with 

maybe the tfs on cybertron are already dealing w/the quintessons? 

omfg and the ep where bumblebee is trying to call OPs comm and megatron and then elita pick up instead ?? hello ??? polycule?????

I wanna see more of elita 1 too! shes so cool 

also I kinda belatedly realized that this megatron doesn’t seem to have the same dislike for organics/earth people as he does in a lot of other media (most notably in idw1). that’s interesting and I like that we’re exploring a different side of his character, and I like seeing humans hanging with him. he and dot are great and I hope we get more of them, including flashbacks

anywaysss that’s all the thoughts I have for now, tune in for more next time byeeee
