#we deserve 3 seasons and AT LEAST a kiss MY GOD

[dayas]

Star Wars finally gets a black woman protagonist and cancels the show. Of course.

[lilycolbertsstuff]

Ok let’s talk all things Bridgerton.

First things first, we’ve all binged it the day that it came out, right?

Second, Nicola Coughlan the woman that you are.

Now let’s move on to the serious stuff.

I have to say that so far I’m liking this season but there are some things that I really don’t understand, namely all the subplots. Some of them should’ve either been cut or they should’ve had less screen time. I understand for example the introduction of Francesca and John because of how their story plays out in the future but what about the Mondriches? Don’t get me wrong I like their characters and their chemistry but I really don’t get why they’re such a prominent part of this season, hopefully their presence will be justified in part 2 for it would be heartbreaking to see unnecessary hate towards them.

Another aspect I liked is Eloise and Cressida’s friendship. In the beginning I didn’t think it would be something genuine but turns out that El does actually come to care for Cressida, who is finally not just relegated to being the mean girl.

Kate and Anthony are a dream to watch on screen, their chemistry is out of this world and they most definitely deserve the long ass honeymoon for god knows how hard these two have worked for their families.

I found Francesca to be such an interesting character and her and John were cute but the side couple that I’m really curious about is Violet and lady Danbury’s brother.

The Featheringtons were a highlight of this season to me. They had no business being this funny. Every time a scene with them came on I was prepared to laugh.

Queen Charlotte and lady Danbury are such icons you can’t help but love them.

Last but not least, Benedict. My boy what have they done to you? It’s so painfully obvious that they didn’t know what to do with his character because give me a valid reason why his storyline this time around is him going to bed with a widow; I would’ve much rather liked to see him in those artists’ parties or whatever like he did in season one and maybe explore more of that aspect of his personality in preparation for his own season, which hopefully will be next.

Time to talk about the leads:

I wish we could’ve seen more of Colin’s identity crisis but I feel like whenever the script was lacking Luke did a great job compensating with his body language and facial expressions. Also can we all agree that he’s just so whipped for Pen after their first kiss?

As a fellow wallflower I really related to the scenes where Penelope felt frustrated with the ton and all the socialising. I can confirm that even when we get all dolled up and feel confident in our own skin for once it’s still so hard to put ourselves out there. We feel called by the wall and somehow we find it more fascinating to observe all the different dynamics going on around us rather than actively taking part in them, even if sometimes we want to.

The scenes where Pen threw herself on her bed and sighed? Yep, I felt that.

I honestly didn’t mind that Colin and Pen got together by the end of the first part of the season for we’ve been watching the build up to their relationship for three seasons now. These two have been friends for ages so it’s not like they had to go through all that getting to know each other phase. Furthermore, I’m pretty sure that part 2 will focus on the unfolding of the lady whistledown storyline and having Colin and Pen be together makes more sense because now he loves and wants to marry her leading to an even more crushing reveal.

The carriage scene?! I died and resurrected in the span of like 3 minutes, and that’s just their first intimate scene I don’t know what will happen to me with the ones to come.

These were my overall thoughts on Bridgerton season 3. I can’t wait till part 2 comes out but also I will be deep in exam season so it’ll be a wild ride, let’s hope everything turns out for the best.🐝🩵

୨୧. 𝐏𝐔𝐌𝐏𝐊𝐈𝐍 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍'

summary. you and sanji go on a date to pick out some perfect pumpkins for the season.

⤷ contents. vinsmoke sanji x gn!reader, fluff + romance, sanji being a sweetheart

⤷ notes. hello! i'm going to try and write a lot until the end of october in order to get out all my halloween ideas, so this'll be the first! enjoy this little pumpkin date <3

autumn was your favorite season for a very long list of reasons.

first of all, its beauty had no comparison. watching the leaves change colors from emerald to cherry red all over the course of a couple weeks was a sight you could never tire of, in awe of nature’s power over its creations.

secondly, the anticipation for halloween was impossible to ignore, and you already had both your costume picked out and a list of activities to take part in the moment the calendar turned october first.

and lastly, the flavors that arose during the chilly season were absolutely exquisite. a hot apple cider for those cold afternoons, or a slice of pumpkin pie made by your one and only personal chef.

“ah, mon chou~! how about this one?” he called out, holding a pumpkin high above his head for you to see.

sanji really was a dream come true, acting as your prince during your weekly fall outings, participating alongside your autumnal activities. he would find you the most brilliantly red leaf among a raked up pile, helped to sew your matching costumes, and he would make your favorite fall treats for you! he was attentive, elegant, and the greatest boyfriend you would ever get.

“a little bigger, sweetie! i wanna do some pumpkin carving with it!” you shouted back, scouring the field for your dream pumpkin,

“oui!” he exclaimed, gently setting the pumpkin back onto the ground. 

you grabbed a nearby small pumpkin, “how about this one, sanji?” you asked, spinning it around for him to see.

“less blemishes, sweetheart! i’m looking for firm and plump!” you didn’t miss the way he wiggled his eyebrows at you, drawing an eye roll from you in response.

an hour of pumpkin judging passed between you two, and a few contenders had risen to your high standards. you carried around five tiny pumpkins in your tote bag, though sanji was aiming for ten due to luffy’s voracious appetite. sanji was hauling two perfectly symmetrical pumpkins, one for each of you to use.

the sun hadn’t quite set yet, a glow still rested on the field for you and sanji to continue picking, but the sky was slowly beginning to fill with oranges and pinks which cast a pastel shimmer of color across your face. sanji stared at your appearance from across the field, taking in the way the soft light struck your visage and framed you beautifully, like a divinity choosing to grace him with your presence. 

“you think ten will really be enough for luffy?” you shouted, picking up a pumpkin to examine it.

sanji snapped back to attention, blinking rapidly as he formulated his thoughts, “i- well i suppose no, when taking his prior portion sizes into account…and if we invite sabo and ace there as well…” 

“at least sabo has manners!” you yelled, chucking any spoiled pumpkins over your shoulder. “i once saw ace use someone else’s pants as a napkin! not even his own! can you believe that, sanji?”

sanji’s focus once again faltered, watching as your lips moved wildly in your frustrated-amused rant. god, how he wanted to kiss you right now. i mean, you both deserve a break right now, right? you’ve been working so hard these past few hours…a little break never hurt anybody, right?

you continued raving and skipped across the fields, unaware of sanji’s devious musings, searching for some more perfect pumpkins for your perfect boyfriend. your deep and intense focus on your little pumpkin hunt led to you missing your perfect boyfriend disappearing from his row of pumpkins, silently creeping up behind you. 

“oh mon ange,” he whistled, “i believe just found the prettiest pumpkin in the pumpkin patch!” his slender, long fingers wrapped around your waist, lifting you high above and eliciting a shriek.

“put me down, you sneak!” you teased, jokingly kicking your legs in an attempt to get loose of his hold.

“but then my pumpkin might run away!” he lamented, twirling you around in circles, sidestepping any precarious pumpkins in the way of his feet. 

“as if i’d run away from you,” you replied, trying to ruffle his blonde locks up in the air.

sanji contemplated your words, throwing you down into a bridal carry while he pondered your response. after a minute of totally-real reflection, he flashed you a big ol’ pout.

“you pinky promise?” he whined, kneeling to the ground with you still in his arms, slipping his arm out from under your knees to offer a pinky.

“i pinky promise, my love.” you kissed him on the forehead, causing a heavy flush to don his cheeks and he rolled around the dirt-covered fields in bliss.

you approached his squirming body and gently touched him with the tip of your foot. “get up, mr. prince, i still need someone to carry our pumpkins!” you sung, slinging your bag across your shoulders and attempting to heave sanji to his feet, “unless you’d like me to leave you here…”

immediately sanji arose in dramatic fashion, sprinting back to grab the pumpkins he had abandoned. with ease he lifted them, returning back to your side as if he wasn't carrying two extremely heavy gourds.

“your prince is here! now what are your next commands, my liege?” he announced, dropping to one knee and kissing your hand.

“hmmm…” you brought your hand to your chin, tapping it in 'deep' thought, “you have to help me find more of your pie-pumpkins, and then we can go home and make cider!” you cheered, grasping his hand and running towards the baby pumpkins.

“anything for you, mon amour,” he swooned, watching the sun cast a luminous amber glow across your skin, “anything for you.”

[sogoodtoheritsvicious]

it’s tiiiiimeee

i haven’t watched this show in full in five years 😵‍💫but it’s october and i was gonna watch thee byeler episode aka 2x02 on halloween anyway so i thought i might as well rewatch the entire show and make it everyone’s problem

forgot about the jumpscare being right at the beginning

baby will <3

they were all BABIES and now they’re all grown and the damn final season still hasn’t premiered lmao

dustin was so adorable

“it was a seven.” “huh?” “the roll, it was a seven. the demogorgon, it got me.” the way will was incapable of lying to mike, GOD, i feel sick

fun fact: will’s adorable little “see you tomorrow!” is immediately what made him my favorite

“kiss your mom ‘night for me!” lmfao

forgot how damn good the jumpscares are

gonna need mike to see will with a gun at least once before this show is over

“damn,you look like hell, chief!” “oh, yeah? well, i looked better than your wife when i left her this morning.” HELP

“lonnie used to call him queer.” “is he?” FUCKING HELL, HOPPER 😭 i completely forgot about that scene lmfao

EL, MY BABY

benny was such a good man :( he didn’t deserve to die

that poor dog was so hated irl 😭

“you think we got a problem here?” my brother in christ, a boy is missing

“i’m the only one that cares about will!” mike loves will so much, i’m gonna cry

i completely forgot about hop’s daughter

mike sneaking out while steve’s sneaking in 😭 this show is also a comedy

winona ryder the actress that you are

chapter 2

maybe i’m going to find out in this ep i can’t remember if they ever investigate benny’s death or link it to everything else that was going on

“stop it, you’re freaking her out!” “she’s freaking ME out!” lucas was the only real one in the beginning

poor baby. el didn’t even know what privacy was before this moment.

“oh, you can speak!” she gets that a lot 😭

mike and el had so much potential as friends, FUCK the duffers for ruining them by making it romantic. now they don’t even seem like they like each other

i hope s5 focuses on more on will and lucas’ friendship

jonathan was such a good brother

brenner. always at the scene of the fucking crime.

mike naming his dino ‘rory’ because he roars 🥹

FUCK BRENNER ALL MY HOMIES HATE BRENNER

karen was such a good mom in the beginning

i hate lonnie with a passion, he’s an abusive piece of shit who should’ve been killed off

i don’t blame lucas at all for the way he was acting with el at first

“one kid goes missing, the other one runs wild? some real fine parenting right there.”

they kept pointing out so many similarities between will and el, i can’t believe they didn’t go anywhere with it

“can’t ask a corpse a question.” die. just die.

nancy: *losing her virginity*

barb: *losing her life*

chapter 3

“no one breaks in here.” yeah, they just break out

love jonathan but steve wasn’t exactly wrong about the pictures

joyce byers the mother that you are

mike wanted nothing to do with el once they found will’s “body” but we’re supposed to believe that he loved her the second he saw her in the woods.

chapter 4

i can’t believe they showed that mike has all of the drawings will has created and expected us to be normal about it

“screw his funeral!” “what?!” TEARS

jonathan loves joyce and will so much 🥺

steve was such an unbearable asshole

can we PLEASE talk about charlie being able to hold his own with winona in that scene about will’s body? we already know winona’s gonna blow it out of the water but he did just as well

completely forgot about mike doing el’s makeup this episode dkfkgjd

“where are you from, exactly?” “bad place.” 😭

that troy scene still sends

“the kid is dead. end of story.”

they put too much pressure on el. i hope when all this shit is over she’s able to just be a normal kid.

this show used to be so fucking good

i love how hop tries lying to the state trooper and when that doesn’t work he just knocks him the fuck out 😭

I FUCKING HATE LONNIE

i’m so glad they had jonathan realize that joyce was telling the truth about everything that was going on instead of just dragging it all out.

chapter 5

hate lonnie for taking advantage of joyce when she’s clearly in a vulnerable position

“wait until we tell will that jennifer hayes was crying at his funeral” lmao

all this season is showing me is how severely they’ve robbed us of joyce and will scenes in future episodes

“man, these aren’t real nilla wafers.” mr. clark must think they’re horrible friends, i’m crying. dustin is right, though, fake nilla wafers suck.

“it might even swallow us whole.” and that’s exactly what’s happening by the end of s4

“he’s wanted to go to nyu since he was six. years. old!” she should’ve killed lonnie right then & there

can’t prove it but jonathan fell in love with nancy the second she shot that can on her first try

jonathan clocked nancy’s ass BAD in the woods

forgot just how much lucas hated el this season

byeler and jancy have paralleled each other too many times for it to just mean nothing in the end.

chapter 6

the jumpscares in this show are top tier

what i love about this show is how it still has me holding my breath even though i already know what’s going to happen

“i don’t wanna be alone. do you?” “no.” i was gonna say he wouldn’t be alone cause joyce is there but i remembered he doesn’t wanna tell her til it’s all over

early jancy were so awkward, i love them <3

“i could have been killed!” “which is exactly why we need her. she’s a weapon!” but mike loves her at this point, right?

lucas loves will so much, it’s a shame we haven’t seen much more of their friendship

“you’re my best friend, too.” “okay :D” dustin looked so happy 😭

“what’s the weirdest part? me or the bear trap?” “you, definitely you.” pls

jonathan beating the shit out of steve was so satisfying

“only love makes you that crazy, sweetheart.” i’m not even gonna say anything. you all know.

we don’t give mike enough appreciation for being such a selfless person. he did everything he could to find will, he almost killed himself to protect dustin, he let el live in his basement without even knowing her, etc.

“she’s our friend and she’s crazy!” i love dustin with my whole heart

BABIES 🫶🏼

chapter 7

“if anyone asks where i am, i’ve left the country.” this season is really reminding me why mike was my favorite in the beginning

i wanna hug el so bad

“our son with a girl?” ted, to mike:

“a psychotic child broke his arm!” “a little girl, chief. a little one.” “that tone! do you hear that tone?” “honestly, i’m just trying to state a fact. it was a little girl.” this entire exchange is sending me so bad

“you couldn’t take jonathan byers.” get his ass!

it was such a great choice to have joyce be the first one to ever give el comfort because she’s such a soft, comforting person and i can’t think of anyone better

chapter 8

made it to the finale! gonna be honest, i didn’t think i’d get here in only two days but this show sucked me in the exact way it did the first time

“go to hell.” joyce is everything

waiting til this episode to give flashbacks on hop’s daughter was an excellent choice

steve just wanted to apologize to jonathan and now he’s an exasperated mother of seven. life comes at ya quick!!

choosing not to acknowledge that scene beyond this for the sake of my mental health

el is a badass but she shouldn’t have to be

brenner should’ve never made it to season 4

these kids acted their ASSES off in this show

GOD THIS JOYCE, HOPPER AND WILL SCENE

you’d think everything that went down would make nancy and karen care more about mike and pay attention to him but it doesn’t. mike deserves so much better.

will is in a hospital bed worrying about jonathan’s hand. I LOVE THIS KID.

byeler hug <3

they all really wanted to tell will about jennifer hayes crying 😭

“her name’s eleven.” “like the number?” he sounded baffled lmaooo

getting will back must’ve been so bittersweet for nancy

hop keeps throwing away lit cigarettes and all i keep thinking is that he’s gonna start a wildfire eventually

mike’s soft ‘see you, will’ 🥹

the camera!!

“your wife doesn’t have time to cook for me.” pls

the byers family 🫶🏼

my love for this show has officially been revived. rewatching this reminded me why i loved this show so much in the first place. the acting is amazing, especially from the kids, the writing was great, and the fucking jumpscares were incredible. i’m so excited to start season 2!!

[echo-of-the-eye]

Dragon prince s7 live thoughts:

These are thoughts I wrote down while watching. They are very rambling and might make no sense. It’s also… very long. I still need time to process my feelings about the season but I’m mostly happy! Spoiler warning obviously.

Ep1:

• Intro: Claudia didn’t turn to stone! Hmmmm.. interesting

• Ethari!! Love the new look. He’s lost all hope nooo:((

• Runaan being manhandled. By an actual human. What’s he thinking rn??

• Rayllum kiss counter: 1!

• New staff for Claudia!

• Callum and Soren hug;-;

• What does aaravos need Claudia for now? Also moon nexus? Is he trying to bring Leola back? Is that possible for a startouch elf?

• A moon opal could take a hundred years to find?? No? Is he just manipulating them or is this stupid? He said moon OPAL right? Not primal stone?

• Sorvus hug! Broyals hug! Everyone gets hugs! Which is good cause this is really sad

• Ok now you’re just showing off aaravos (great designs though)

• Runaan you good? You just ate non illusioned grubs.

• A bit upset we don’t get to see his initial reaction to all this. Especially callum. How is he so chill with everything?

• Aaravos wtf you playing at?? An apple? Really?? Also I don’t think this disguise is that much more subtle

• Yeeessssss ezran! Be mad! Go apeshit! You deserve it!

Ep2:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Rayla? A bit of sympathy please? He did actually kill their dad. At least don’t feed callum’s abandonment issues (*cough* that you created in the first place)

• I’m kinda with Ezran on this one. I get it Rayla I do. And I don’t want him to be punished either. But still. Also. What’s the difference between an assassin and a murder? Ezran’s got a point. Rayla’s worldview is being challenged. “Oh so he’s a good murder?” Ezran I love you.

• The bread is still weapons grade I see. At least they’ve got jelly tarts

• “I could never ask you to betray your brother” “you don’t have to ask” CALLUM!??!!!?!!

• “I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU” aadafagjggdhs

• Rayllum kiss counter: 2!

• “I never asked for this” Ezran:(((

• Okay Callum is also making some good points

• Soren Rayla rematch let’s goooo!!

• Guess the bread is being put to the test

• Omg aaravos is adorable (never something I thought I’d say)

• Self eating?? Oh god I thought it was just blood magic!

• This is painful. The broyals are fighting:(((

• Terry is pure of heart. No surprise there. Claudia manipulating him…. Ooof

• I love that everything at the banther lodge parallels s1. Right down to the method of escape and the arrows flying

Ep3:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Alright sunfire plot!

• Ezran’s going through it. I know this is exactly what I asked for but it still hurts

• Thank you tdp for not spreading misinformation about ducks! They should not eat bread

• A secret place in duren? Might this be the same place Claudia and co are going?

• Miyana is pregnant?! Well that’s convenient. I swear if this leads up to her and Karim both being pardoned… I know it’s all about forgiveness but I think that’s a bit far. Forgiveness is great but it can’t always be the answer. Especially when Karim has proven he can’t be trusted with second chances

• The west of xadia used to be magical! I love that! I always found it weird that it was just empty

• Mage wars oooohh!

• Ohh so we’re crushing up unicorn bones now. Neat…

• Oh ok I’m actually kinda liking how they’re doing the Janai Karim plot now. It is in character to try to give him mercy, but I’m glad he refuses it. Stubborn fool

• Ok the place in duren wasn’t the same place

• Death sentence? Damn

Ep4:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Omgomgomg! Ruthari reunion incoming! I’ve waited years for this!

• MY HEART!!! TOGETHER AT LAST!!!!!!!

• Elf callum!

• Rayllum kiss counter: 3!

• Ok Terry objecting to killing the bird is interesting. Surely he’s seen Claudia do worse? Still. I love how they’re setting up the conflict between him and Claudia and Aaravos. Terry you’re too good for this

• More moonshadow elves!

• Oh Terry;-; I really like this

• Claudia and Terry breakup! It’s been a long time coming

• Rayla is unghosted!!

• “He had to leave, for himself” oh Claudia. Is this her coming to terms with her mother’s choice as well? I feel so bad for her. Terry was right to leave but it still hurts how many times Claudia has been left behind now. (She is the definition of the “everyone leaves me!” And then you find out why)

Ep5:

• Intro: still caudia? Still Claudia.

• Oh Terry wants to join the dragang. Let’s see how that goes

• Two weeks? Hm

• Also I can’t believe after all this time we get callum and the moonfam all together!

• Callum is gonna babysit moonshadow kids!?

• Oh they’re adorable!

• Gren is still censoring Amaya I see

• Omg Soren and Terry bonding! Fighting?Yeesssss!!!

• Love that even though Soren respects him for realizing he was in the wrong side he’s still defending his sister

• Callum with kids! I didn’t know I needed this so badly!

• ASFAFAGAJJSJAKAKAKAOA “callum wants to have ten babies with you” omfg! Callums face!

• What the fuck was that. Did I just hallucinate? I’m getting atla flashbacks (talking about the moonberry surprise thing)

• They’re gonna bring back Lissa? Not sure that will have the desired effect. I think Soren is more likely to be successful

• Rayllum kiss counter: 4!

• Callum you had to jinx it

• Also I really like Astrid. Mainly cause she looks almost exactly like how my Httyd oc looks in my tdp au

Ep6:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Aaravos I don’t think Leola would want that

• I don’t like how Aaravos is in disguise the whole time. There hasn’t even been anyone around. Show us our gorgeous bastard please! It’s like they had a quota of how often he could be on screen or his beauty would be too much

• Oh callum:(

• Oh what?! Another dark callum confrontation! Really hope this doesn’t mean dark callum is only a hallucination/dream and we won’t see actual callum do dark magic again, but I’m still loving this!

• Is? Is lissa real? Cause if so I’m not sure how I feel about this.

• Ok yeah lissa is an illusion I knew it

• Lujanne!? No! I feared this would happen

• Aww:( so real callum didn’t get to say the however dangerous however vile line:(

• Lujanne still lives!

• Really? Aaravos? Don’t you have like? Magic? This can’t actually be a threat to you. Was it really that easy? I know this isn’t the end obviously but what? I feel like they haven’t shown exactly how big a threat he is

• Sir sparklepuff!

Ep7:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• “No army can stand up to a startouch titan” well apparently katolis can. Though I really hope that’s just aaravos tricking them

• Oh and now they need karim. Lovely

• Runaan! He took a hit for callum! Wow he adjusted quick!

• Holy shit callum! The blood freezing spell! Damn

• Really hoped the mage battle between callum and Claudia would be longer and more epic:(

• Oh fuck yeah callum! It seems we are heading that way! Yessss!!!

• Ok so it seems katolis did actually manage to overwhelm aaravos which I don’t like. How is he relying on the spirits to free him? He should be more powerful. Show us he’s a serious threat

• OH FUCK. THE MAGMA TITAN! Oof that hurts

• WHAT!!!??!! AVIZANDUM!!!!

Ep8:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Did Astrid do star magic? “Stella” means star. But she’s a sky elf? I know the celestial elves are very connected to the stars but does that mean they have a star arcanum?

• So they managed to get to the sun orb pretty easily. So why did they never fix it? They said they tried and it was too difficult but they’re doing it now. Except you know. They’re destroying it

• Oh god dammit karim!

• HOLY SHIT! FUCK YEAH AARAVOS!! SQUISH THE BASTARD!! He had it coming (thought he was about to eat him too lol)

• Rex igneous!

• Aaravos going from calling Claudia an asset to “the only light in this world”. He genuinely cares about her? He says she reminds him of Leola which makes sense

• Let there be dark

• They found the novablade! Bit disappointed it was that easy but still cool. I thought it was gold though? It was in the poster

• Does aaravos have no magic?? He did (primal) magic through viren in s2 when he was imprisoned. Why is he so powerless now??!?? I get the arch dragons are actual threats to him and that’s fine but he shouldn’t be this weak

• Ok so he did like one spell. Still not as powerful as he’s been set up to be

• REX!??!!! Damn

• Rayllum kiss counter: 6!

• Final battle! Let’s go!

• Damn stella! Brutal!

• Domina!

• Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck!!!!!!! Runaan promised to kill callum!!!

• Ok so obviously Callum imprisoning him and then being killed won’t happen. There’s an episode left and Ezran is prob on his way with the nova blade. Also they won’t kill Callum. My prediction is they’re gonna kill Aaravos cause that sets up his return for a possible third arc. I’m not sure I really want that to happen but I feel like that’s where they’re going. I think I prefer Callum using dark magic to imprison him (without being killed somehow) cause I’m a sucker for dark Callum, but I doubt that will happen. Welp, let’s see!

Ep9:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia. So no Callum this season:(

• Ezran riding zym!

• Zym??!?! Well that’s convenient

• Rayla!? “My heart for xadia” IM SOBBING

• Is it weird I kinda want them to go through with it? Killing Callum? I know they won’t. But it’s exactly my type of tragedy and it would be so good

• He’s doing it!?!!!!

• What?? Nooo. Avizandum?

• WHITE STREAK!!!

• “I will not watch another daughter die”

• Ooo storm spire

• Zubeia!!?!

• Ok so I was right. They kinda half assed it but I’m glad Callum at least tried to do dark magic. Even though I didn’t like that it didn’t work. It’s clear they wanted to kill Aaravos so he could come back in a potential third arc, but they still wanted Callum to actually do something. So… yeah I’m not sure how I feel. I wanted Callum to do it but it feels weird that it was for nothing. But tdp is kinda a master of building up something really cool and tragic and then not following through:(

• I LOVE THAT CALLUM GOT THE WHITE STREAK THOUGH!! AND ITS PREMANENT!!!

• Are there going to be any actual consequences for it though? Or is it fine cause he didn’t finish? What happened to it will consume you?

• Also what about the cube!?!?!

• So all the arch dragons died?

• BROTHERS!! Reconciliation!

• Gegahishejakak!!! ZYM TALKED?!!!?? Oh god I hate this I hate this so much it feels so wrong! Why is that his voice!??!!?!! I knew it had to happen at some point but it’s still weird

• Miyana had twins

• And so democracy was invented!

• Ok so Claudia is just gonna wait huh

• … is this when we find out bird harrow was real all along?

• WHAT??!?!!!!?!?!!!!!! I WAS JOKING!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING!? THIS CANNOT BE REAL!!! NO PLEASE THEY’RE NOT ACTUALLY DOING THIS!!?!!!??????? Was this actually the plan all along?? It can’t be. This undermines so much. No. I refuse to accept this.

• Are we getting a proposal?!

• Ok we’re not. That’s fine honestly. I like this!

• Rayllum kiss counter: 7!

• Ok the font is way too hard to read but this is really sweet!

• Soooo… seven year time skip right? For the next arc? If we get one. PLEASE NETFLIX LET THERE BE ONE!

And it’s over! I have a lot of thoughts but I still need time to process. There are many things I loved, some things I didn’t, but overall I really liked it! Still can’t believe they went with bird harrow omg. WHY.

Maybe I’ll write down some actual opinions and thoughts when I find out what they are but we’ll see. NETFLIX. GIVE US THE SAGA!!

Fig Faeth Junior Year Playlist: Side A

It's no surprise that Fig Faeth's playlist is the one that I actually listen to the most. It's just a very good vibe and I love her. Took extra time to Song descriptions and thoughts down below. Spoilers for Episodes 1-10.

Genres included: Pop-punk, Punk, Alternative

1. hair out, Stand Atlantic

Am I fuckin' up my life? I'm just tryna make improvements Slowly givin' up the fight But I gotta cover up the bruise That I get from all the Expectations give me vertigo Wasting away to the pressure The pressure, The pressure, oh

This song is such an earworm, scratching a specific itch in my brain. Love the fact that both Kristen and Fig (the failing girlies) start with a Stand Atlantic song, and it works with the way that Fig is coming at this season. From the jump, she is one of the most visibly and audibly burnt out, specifically from the pressure of the "sophomore album" that was supposed to come out months ago. This song is definitely about the pressures of a songwriter as well as the pressures of life in general so it fits sooooo perfectly. Especially with the "I can already here people hating the song" outro *chefs kiss*

2. Who The Hell Am I?, NOBRO

God, I'm tired of being like this I can change, but in a minute Always looking for the back door, on the run Always at the party, never quite having fun Play with fire, and you're gonna get burned I'm on fire, and you know it hurts I was always on the outside looking in Maybe it's me 'cause I never wanna fit in

Fig's class struggles, her conversation with Mazey, I can't take it. I feel like we've all been there. I really love how the narrative with her has progressed, like last season was deconstructing her need to mold herself into other people (or into an idealized version of herself) now she's trying to figure out who she is at her core without all the disguises.

3. 7 Years Bad Luck, Glasseater

Something strange seems to be plaguing me Everything I touch falls apart I've lost it all, losing all my luck Suffering 7 years bad luck

I don't particularly love this song, a little too unintentionally underproduced, but it deserves a spot on this playlist. I feel like I would be Fig in the curse situation. It took me a literal year to deal with debilitating stomach problems, and I, too, waited until my friends noticed to actually do something about it. Either way, can't wait to learn more about the weird Galier Pride curse, love the representation for my stomach problem girlies

4. Where the Heart Is, Sweet Pill

Get this My mind's been in a million places but my body hasn't moved an inch And I feel like I'm missing out again Ignoring my plans Wondering how they went Feeling bad about it If I could just take a chance I wouldn't feel so bad To see past myself I wouldn't feel so bad

This is Fig's final decision to try Paladin after doing so well with Warlock. She knows the priorities in her gut don't match with what anyone else says, but she's discovering her loyalty. She's figuring out her actual drive... following her heart <3

5. Impostor Syndrome, Sidney Gish

Unfortunately, I am My own dog, my own fur companion My own old lady on a forum Who types in glittery decorum Unfortunately, I take Myself out walking every day and I had my legs to the feet and I give my head to the leash

Making Fantasy High playlists is like making a ven diagram of which dog-themed songs are Tracker-coded and which are Fig-coded. This one, to me at least, is Fig-coded. (yes, I do have a tracker playlist, and yes, every song in it is dog/wolf specific, BUT THEY'RE GOOD OK). We love our Oath/Pact of the German Shepard.

6. You Owe Me Nothing In Return, Alanis Morissette

I'll give you countless amounts of outright Acceptance if you want it I will give you encouragement to chose The path you want if you need it You can speak of anger and doubts Your fears and freak outs And I'll hold it

So I know that we're gearing up for Fig's Warlock/Paladin agreement post "mooner yulenear," but this is my interpretation of what it's going to look like. She cares about her friends, and she would do anything for them! And though I know this song came out in 2002, Alanis Morissette is a 90's icon and perfect for the grungy riot grrrl vibe I see for her

II Act 3 spoilers

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaAaaaaaAAAAAAaA.

Great episode loved it amazing. I'm so glad he's dead. I genuinely couldn't have hoped for anything else. DING DONG THE WICKED BITCH IS DEAD!

Also, insanely graphic. Wow. But we finally got that popcorn lol.

Box was a real person before. That's neat. I'm glad that they finally get to live an actual life. Insane how that means that they were playing with a corpse the entire time. Also that means trophy had beef with a dead body lol.

Absolute cutie pie. Can't believe we missed out on all that for 3 seasons.

Rip my boy Mepad. TnT. That was so heartbreaking. This also makes the third time someone (other then the contestants) died in front of him. Man just can't catch a break. I love them. They deserved the world.

And the fact that Cobs just goes straight back to trying to murder mephone. Like, let the man greive a bit. God I'm so glad he's dead. I can't understate just how much I hate Cobs. Honestly, he should have died a worse death. But beggers can't be choosers. And at the end of the day he's dead now.

What this poor excuse of a man said to mephone is genuinely disgusting. "Everything you love is gone." Wow, wonder who's fault is that!

"Even after everything I'd let you live." You'd LET him. Like your doing him some sort of favour by not murdering him. "Let him live" are you kidding me.

"I've wanted to do this for a long long time. So thanks for letting me have no regrets." ARE YOU ACTUALLY JOKING WITH ME RIGHT NOW. No regrets ARE YOU SERIOUS. He's done nothing to you. And your so ok with killing, taking another persons life. Not even killing just anyone, but killing your own creation. Your child???? And you've wanted to do this for a LONG time. God I Hate him. HATE. HATE.

Look at his stupid dumb face he makes before trying to kill a man with is own hands. I'm so serious when I say I HATE that man. God. He's so awful all the time. I need to stop myself or else I'll make this all about how much HATE I feel for him.

Moving on. PayJay Nation, we won! Let's GOOOOOOO!! Look at them. God they just need to kiss already. They're literally so cute together I'm going to explode.

However, I still have one major question. Where's mephone what happened to him. Where's he going. Whered he go. I'm glad he has 3gs tho. At least he's not alone. But we don't get to see him during or after the party. Please. Let me see my boy. I need to know where he's gonna go. Maybe mecloud? IDK. Also toilet wasn't there ether. So maybe he's with the mephones.

Also what is that thing. I guess it's an artificial shell.

Anyways, tweeking aside I did like that episode. Very nice, wrapped up in a nice little bow. I like how the ending song contains snippets from other ii songs. They even referenced the stupid trailer. So cool. I hope that we still get some ii after. Even if it's just some short spinoffs. I'd love to see the dynamic between 4 and 3gs. And I'd like to see some more box.

On a semi-unrelated note: I did think that mephone was going to end up going with the shimmers. I was kinda hoping that'd be the case but, it's whatever. I still really liked the ending.

I'll probably make an au or something based around that. I still think that it's a cool idea, even if it didn't end up being canon.

[daincrediblegg]

stargate sg1 for the ask games :))

GIVE ME A FANDOM AND I'LL TELL YOU:

Favorite Male Character: yeah... I think my obsession with Richard Dean Anderson on the whole speaks for itself. but also I'm so unwell about Teal'c.

Favorite Female Character: tough call between Samantha Carter and Janet Fraiser... but good god I'm so gay about them both.

Least Favorite Character: SENATOR KINSEY. WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT. and like what a fucking incredible political reflection of the times like I'm in awe that sg1 had the balls to critique the 'holier than thou' evangelical nature of US politics in like. the 90's. in the first season of the show. legendary behavior.

Favorite Ship: yeah probably sam x jack. what can I say? I'm a sucker for forbidden older dumber man x smarter younger woman dynamic. this doesn't say ANYTHING about me or the content I work on currently. nothing at all.

Favorite Friendship: honestly I think it has to be O'Neill and Teal'c. I'm obsessed with them. Never will we see the like of their specific dynamic again tbh.

Favorite Quote: Jack's little nuts monologue. describing his distinct flavor of madness as "3 fries short of a happy meal" just really speaks to me on a spiritual level.

Worst Character Death (if any): Janet. god that episode made me cry the first time.

This made me so happy you have no idea Moment: god any time Jack and Sam kiss in this show I swear I can fly.

Saddest Moment: Honestly when Danny ascends the first time. Also when abydos gets fucking nuked. my boy Skaara didn't deserve that.

Favorite Location: oh that's tough. I love the Nox world so stupidly a lot. also the Tokra caves are so fucking sick. also ABYDOS. but specifically movie version (bro they had CREATURES. not as many creatures in sg1 which I feel is a little bit of an oversight)

2 - 24 Under the Sea, Over the Line

Last dumb episode before the season finale!!! Almost an entire season into MOTLE YAYYYYY

Featuring the dumbest character DUKE OF VERMILLION!

Idk if I've posted this before but here are some old oxymorons doodles vnfjkvns <3 kiss now my perfect potatoes

Although warning when I say dumb episode I mean DUMB episode-

DON'T READ THE EPISODES WITHOUT READING THE BOOKS!!

The submarine dunks into the ocean. The only passengers that made it on were Logico, Violet, Silverton, Slate, and… the Duke of Vermillion??

VIOLET: I didn’t even invite you! DUKE: Has it occurred to you that I might live here in the ocean? VIOLET: Oh…

Logico looks around and is completely and utterly shocked! The Duke SPOKE? No, that’s not it. 

LOGICO: Who let THAT one on the ship?

He points to… wanna guess? A dead human. 

DUKE: [suddenly sobbing] I just wanted to enjoy a party! VIOLET: Ew! You were there the whole time? DUKE: Yus… [snif] SLATE: Well, this is fun. SILVERTON: I miss Bunny…

The submarine is a very cramped place to try to solve a murder. There’s less room than on the zeppelin! Logico is constantly bumping into everyone, like the Duke curled up on a bed.

DUKE: Could you move… this bed is so small as is… LOGICO: No. I get paid for this. Or at least I SHOULD be…

The king crab lies back down and stares at the metal ceiling, and the water outside. What a miserable life he has! And they cruise in silence for a long time.

SLATE: I’m done with this. Don’t bother me…

She heads into the tiny airplane-style bathroom and never returns.

SILVERTON: Wait a second! She wouldn’t even be able to USE a bathroom! THIS IS HYPOCRISY!!!

As he thrashes around in rage, the Duke catches a glimpse of his face. It’s so shiny and yellow… he immediately falls in love! He grasps Silverton’s arms.

DUKE: Be with me. SILVERTON: What? DUKE: I can’t live like this any longer. I need someone like you. LOGICO: Okay, I’m going to be sick.

But he can’t enter the bathroom, because Slate’s in there!

DUKE: Please… [falls onto Silverton’s chest] stay with me…

Silver shoves him off.

SILVERTON: ARE YOU INSANE?? YOU’RE MARRIED!!!! AND THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'D GO ON A DATE WITH A MOTHERFUCKING CRUSTACEAN!

Duke is so depressed by the revelation, he attempts to pull his own head off.

VIOLET: [cries] I hate all of this so much! 

Irratino is on the zeppelin, approaching Drakonia! But it’s so freaking slow. He squirms in impatience as he waits for the Wifi symbol on his phone to reach just one bar…

IRRATINO: THE FAMOUS ACTOR HAS THE BRIEFCASE FULL OF MONEY!!! AND THE FAMOUS ACTOR, IS SILVERTON THE LEGEND!!!!!!!!

This phone call is so loud, EVERYONE on the sub can hear it. Poor Logico is out cold!

VIOLET: Oh my god, who is this?! IRRATINO: Uh… it’s me :3 VIOLET: You killed Logico-

Once the deductive finally comes to, he announces the Duke as the killer.

DUKE: Well, I had to do it! We were running out of air, or we would have, if my figures are correct. [brings out a piece of paper and stares intently] Oops.

Logico says ‘I can’t believe you’, but only with his eye.

DUKE: All right fine! I’m tired of being portrayed as the forgettable one! I’m SURE all of you will remember me now!

He lets himself out somehow and swims away, probably to return to his boring wife.

The end!

Omg I can't wait to write the next episode it has cupcake muppet in it and so much angst

He deserves the entire world

The power of Goat Lord compels you!

See you next time murdlers!

[shrinkthisviolet]

So I noticed your tags on a reblog a while ago about how you had a problem with The Flash - and I'd love to know more about what you thought of it overall (as I understand that the later seasons took something of a nosedive in quality.)

Oh boy 😅 I could go into depth about my problems with each of the seasons, but honestly, for the sake of brevity, I’m just gonna abbreviate the major problems I have for each season:

Season 1

—Iris should’ve been looped in sooner, especially given how many times she was put in danger by not knowing

—The waterfront kiss and the lightning psychosis bs is stupid—I’m glad the first thing was erased, and I try to ignore the second thing. There’s nothing romantic/funny about cheating or justifying it

—Eowells should’ve been killed off normally, not by being erased from existence (because?? How does the timeline still exist??)

Season 2

—Zoom’s motives were incoherent, and he’s only a good villain because of his menace factor

—Wally and Jesse should’ve both gotten powers from the accelerator, not just Jesse

—Jesse should’ve had Zoom-related trauma that impacted her ability (and desire) to be a speedster in s3

—Eliza Harmon should’ve been a WOC like in the comics, and she deserved a better storyline and she deserved to live, yes I’m still mad about this.

Season 3

—Savitar. In general. Wtf (existence makes no sense, him being a wannabe god instead of just Future Barry is boring, and also he was only interesting in the finale. By which point he should’ve been dead anyway. Also there’s no mf way he could’ve actually killed Iris bffr)

—Killer Frost. Incoherent—her siding with Savitar makes sense with the s4/s5 retcons, but those are from seasons when she regressed as a character imo. Also I never liked the split personality idea

—Iris being the only one at risk means there are no stakes because she’s the main female lead and would never really be killed off. All of Team Flash should’ve been at stake, with the possibility teased that they might disband permanently.

—Flashpoint was wasted potential and tbh should’ve happened after s1. Or at least it should’ve been more deeply explored here. But in any case, it feels cheap to have this after Barry already fully came to terms with his mom’s death in s2 (I know, it was grief over his dad, but still. It undercuts a fantastic episode)

—The time loop setup is nonsensical and impossible. Breaking it means that s3 never happened. No one should remember anything that happened this season.

—Caitlin and/or Frost never apologized to Iris for being an accessory in her attempted murder (and in s4, Frost threatens her life again!! Yay!! Friendly bonding!!)

Season 4

—Can someone tell me why tf Team Leader suddenly became a thing? I swear the closest the Team ever had to a Team Leader was Eowells, way back in s1. The idea of a Team Leader after that feels too hierarchal for them, idk why that was introduced

—Caitlin worked with a human trafficker of her own volition (and Frost too, this was presumably a decision made by both of them) and yet she is only held accountable in one line (“Where have you been the last 6 months again?”) and it’s quickly swept over by making Amunet into a ditz and ignoring the fact that she is a human trafficker

—Bodyswap plot was weird, DeVoe should’ve just taken their powers

—Marlize never had any clear motives after she gave up her ideals to side with her husband.

—The Thinker in general is just stupid tbh

—Caitlin and Iris barely got to be friends, and after this season, they may as well not have been. Caitlin was also unnecessarily snippy to Iris this season too (“we will, Caitlin” “no. I will” + “I’m your friend, Caitlin” “work friend”). This is a general problem with this show—female friendships are given lip service at best and no room to grow

—Barry and Iris deserved a proper wedding that wasn't interrupted

—Thawne did not hate every minute of pretending to be Harrison Wells, that is garbage writing and fundamentally misunderstands his character

—Barry should've killed Thawne in this crossover. He was so close!! WHY (and they still could've brought him back later if they really needed to)

Season 5

—Both Cicadas sucked, and the father-daughter Orlin-Grace/Barry-Nora parallels fall flat when you remember a) Dwyer literally hates Grace until she’s comatose and b) those parallels only get mentioned in one conversation

—I wasn't too fond of Cisco giving up his powers, it felt like a strange decision, especially since he gets them back briefly in Crisis and somewhat permanently in s7. I've talked about that more here (definitely read all the additions too!)

—Iris’s angle in the argument with Barry should’ve been “no one works with Thawne, they’re manipulated by him” not “it doesn’t bother me that our daughter worked with the man who half-orphaned you, threatened my life, hurt everyone on this Team, and killed my fiancé”

—Nora acts wayyy too young for being 25-28. She should’ve been 18-20. She very much gives off the vibes of a young adults who’s newly independent (and this further ties into the themes of legacy, which is a theme usually present in YA stories, with teenage/young-adult protagonists. Obviously the theme of legacy can be present in any story, but this presentation of it is usually prominent in YA stories)

—Nora having the NSF should’ve occurred at the end of s5, not during 5x20. Would’ve been more poignant if she had to choose between keeping it and becoming Thawne, or giving it up and dying a hero 😭 and her having the NSF in canon came across more as a temper tantrum than her being corrupted by a destructive force.

(Hey also why tf do people remember Nora after she’s erased—)

Season 6

—Loved Iris having a fleshed-out journalism arc, especially going forward, but her journalism career should’ve been reintroduced a while ago. Possibly even in s4 (beyond just a scant mention of her writing an article about DeVoe)

—Thawne should’ve been in Crisis. Especially over Lex mf Luthor

—The Mirroverse arc is…ugh. I don’t love the idea of Iris being replaced with an evil alter and no one noticing for an entire half-season. And an important Westallen conversation about Iris’s agency happening with Mirror Iris, not real Iris!

—Mirror Iris had sex with Barry under false pretenses. And gloated about it. But five minutes later, we’re supposed to feel sorry for her?? Yikes

And now we’re on to my least favorite seasons! Not a lot of points here, but that’s because out of all the bad stuff, I’m just picking the egregiously bad stuff:

Season 7

—Iris being saved by an emotionless Barry is weird and they both deserved better than that

—Chillame is the worst character this show has ever made. Or at least the top 5

—Eva is a dumb villain who wasn’t even compelling to watch. She was very one-note and…I don’t even remember her motive??

—The Forces arc is bizarre. I don’t like how they personified literal forces of nature, it’s dumb. And them calling Barry and Iris “Mom” and “Dad” is worse

—Frost’s arrest storyline was bs. I was honestly kinda excited, because I hoped she’d face some consequences for the stuff she did in s3 and s4, but…nope!! Kramer’s a bad guy who hates all metas!! And Frost (a white woman) gives a speech modeled after the BLM movement!! It’s gross.

—idk much about Godspeed in the comics, but he was definitely done dirty here. And that’s not even mentioning the stupid lightsaber fight…and the fact that Barry just…lets Thawne go?? And says “yeah, he’ll be back one day, but that’s Future Us’s problem.” Speaking of which…

Season 8

—Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequence of Barry Allen’s actions. We get Armageddon, which is compelling for the first half and drops off in the second half. The logic is faulty (how is Barry the RF when Thawne killed him as a kid? Why does Iris love Thawne just because he’s the Flash?), some of the stuff in this arc is arophobic (“why don’t you love love?”) and tbh the Chester/Allegra romance is very forced, I’m not a fan. Cecile trying to one-up Iris regarding grieving Joe was also very gross

—Iris’s time sickness is so ridiculous. It started back in s7, but the show acts like it started in s8 because of the Negative Forces. It’s awful and it’s another excuse to rob Iris of agency. It should’ve just been a pregnancy…or scrapped entirely

—So regarding Caitlin's grief and Barry's response...honestly, so many problems would be solved if these characters consistently went to therapy, especially Caitlin. She always reacts to grief destructively. Barry, however, shouldn't have responded by destroying everything in her lab instead of...idk relocating her and having a talk somewhere else??

—No, Barry would not be a bad person for killing Thawne after he thought Iris was already dead. Personally, I think he should've killed the mf ages ago

Season 9

—Red Death was underwhelming, that’s all I have to say about it

—why tf is Chillame still here

—Khione deserved to make her own decisions and not be forced to die for Caitlin and/or Frost to live…but also, as a character, she’s very bland. I also skipped any episode where she and Chillame were even remotely romantic, mostly for my own sanity

—I was so excited for the finale arc and it did not deliver!! It flopped real hard!! Eddie is turned evil so fast it made my head spin, the return of prior villains was underwhelming (including their defeats...why tf did Allegra defeat Thawne?? Why did Cecile defeat Godspeed?? Why did Nora defeat Savitar with one stab wound not even piercing the armor??), and the resolution is just...hugging it out?? I guess??

And that's about it as far as major critiques go 😅 if anyone wants me to expand on any of these points, I'm happy to!

(Except the s7-s9 stuff, which I don't even plan on including in my Morgan AU because those seasons are honestly so bad that I'd rather forget about them entirely. I don't like s3 much, but at least it has potential that I'm interested in revamping/exploring)

Season three season finale Spoilers <3

PEGGGGYY NOOO! You didn’t deserve to die, you shouldn’t have died. I wouldn’t have been mad if you made a really stupid joke at your own funeral and everyone yelled “Peggy?!” Please you had so many people to kiss, you didn’t have your date with Natasha for all we know. For all we know she is still waiting for you, her bff, just waiting for you, not knowing that her closet gal pal is gone for good. Natasha is alone again.

I may have been mad if you got back with Steve but at least you’d be alive. I mean I think the moral was pretty rad, very fitting for my extreme devotion to the focus of humanity and morality, that god is still painfully human.

But was Carter dying really worth it? I mean probably, but she was sooo cool, she always made more sense than Steve in my objective opinion. I was so thrilled with the first episode because it showed that someone was like minded.

Also I can completely understand if you like that she died, she can seen as an overpowered nuisance who is perfect. Part of me wishes I can see her the same way.

Unfortunately I love overpowered characters, characters who know that they are awesome and confident. Characters who can defeat anyone without a scratch and with a big grin on their face. That is a conversation for another day

Enjoy your current timezone and stay safe!=^(•w•)^=

[mygalvanistromance]

watched aotd again and im gonna kiss every scene in this finale

every time nathan opened his hand a whale god got its wings. i love whale god i hope she's doing well

i heard some critiques saying that brendon simply "wrote abigail out of the show" but listen. she had a job to do. she was hired by charles to manage the band for the album. she's a professional who got roped into A Whole Lot Of Mess She Was Underpaid For (being violently tortured and trying to comfort toki) and she even said she was in therapy!!! she needed to work on herself and obviously she's not employed by dethklok anymore. she can still be a strong character by recovering OFF SCREEN. sorry not sorry.

brendon small is not the type of writer (at least in mtl) that ever really dove deeply into characters' psyches and traumas. like, yeah, throughout the Four Seasons the show had there have been character depth built up from the band's tragedies that they suffered but there is a doomstar that is setting the world on fire, toki's alive and he got back on his feet to play guitar. which is what he wants to do. he's with his brothers. he's safe. he's where he belongs. and these five are also fucking idiots. they don't spend a lot of time having nightmares about their traumas.

and yeah the past two specials have been more nathan-focused. he's the frontman, but he's also sort of the placeholder for the whole band. any important information or focus directed at him sort of goes to the whole band. they're all important, but for time's sake, nathan is the face of it all. if that makes sense.

pickles deserves the best husband friend award of 2023

im not saying that im glad that the world got destroyed but i have to respect a showrunner that's not afraid to destroy the world and let the survivors band (pun intended) together in the spirit of human companionship in order to rebuild a better world <3

my brain chemistry is still altering from "be a good boy and bring mommy his scotch"

sad that aotd wasn't another rock opera but the song of salvation did fuck severely. cant wait to hear it live. also sad that we didn't get to know what was on the other side of the doomstar portal :(

someone give charles some fucking neosporin. i fell victim to losing my shit when i saw him leading the army ngl i am a simpleton. charles foster offdensen is the only billionare i would EAT ykwim

OH MY GOD YOU WATCHED NAGATORO TOO??? I REMEMBER WATCHING IT YEARS AGO WITH MY TWO BEST FRIENDS !!! we were a straight girl, a gay boy and a uhh.. a me (aroace/demirose but i have no clue what my gender is) so definitely NOT the target audience, but we had so much fun!!! my girl bsf looks sm like nagatoro so we used to mess with her bc of that for a while lol <3 also yeah i’m doing pretty good!! recently i’m just in love with the little things that have been happening. two little boys blowing me a kiss as i walked past them, my mom giving me the earring she used to wear when she was my age, having been able to make 5 more lovely friends in a couple weeks (i used to have social anxiety so it’s a lot for me), my grades getting higher, gossiping with my classmates before class..

i’m so glad to hear you’re doing good as well!!! you deserve it all <3

i love you so much!

yours

breaker anon~<3

Finally clocking in on Tumblr again, hi breaker! I'm not sure if I have to respond to this tbh.. since we're talking somewhere else hehe ^^'

Yes, I watched nagatoro. I haven't seen the 2nd season, I finished the 1st season when I was in school. I'm glad you're enjoying the little things life. Making 5 friends IS a lot, at least in my opinion! So that is very very awesome. I'm glad to hear of it <3

Thanks so much if you want to answer this long ask.

Challenge accepted!

So lately I've been watching a lot of Thai dramas, but I started with manga/manhwa, so I'll be talking about both.

1. I'm gonna do top 3 favorite tropes, because I can't think of 5.

Hidden Agenda. Not like the Joong/Dunk series. I'm talking about when a character comes onto the scene with a secret personal mission but foils their own plan by falling in love. This, of course, leads to a snowball of lies, followed by the inevitable dramatic fallout. For example:

Not Me - Honestly, just fucking outstanding. I love this series so much. The guilt that White feels the longer he keeps the lie going, and then Sean's confusion and refusal to accept when shit unravels is just devastating. It's what I live for.

Tale of Thousand Stars - What makes this one extra devastating is that we the audience can see the full picture. The villagers only know what Tian tells them, and Tian's own perspective is clouded by survivor's guilt. So while we can see where everyone is coming from, it's clear that Tian doesn't deserve the punishment that's being piled on him.

Unintentional Love Story - There is a manhwa and a K-drama adaptation, but I'm talking specifically about the manhwa. The dynamic between the leads is so cute, it's almost like the author is trying to make you forget the relationship was built on a lie. Until, of course, it all comes crumbling down.

Third Act Breakup. I know, everyone hates this trope. But something you should know about me is that when I get into a story, I want it to ruin my life. Okay, not really, but I might like angst a little too much. I find it extremely cathartic to experience heartache vicariously through fictional characters. Admittedly, this trope often relies on characters acting in ways that don't make sense. But when it works, it works.

Blueming - The simplicity of Blueming is what makes it beautiful, and that includes the breakup. It's not some convoluted drama or people acting out of character, just humans making human mistakes and needing time to reflect on them.

Dark Blue Kiss - Speaking of convoluted drama. I can't even defend myself on this one.

Last Twilight - Oh god, this is gonna be my most controversial pick. I liked the breakup scene in Last Twilight. It was gut-wrenching, but it felt necessary. Like, they both needed time apart in order to grow independently. I mean, they kind of squandered that opportunity for growth, but we're not here to talk about episode 12.

Unrequited Love Reversal. There is just something so satisfying about watching the pursuer become the pursued. The character who initially took the other's love for granted suddenly has to work to get it back. I think it's a wish fulfillment thing. It's probably unhealthy how much I like this trope.

The Best Smell - This manhwa is kind of a hard sell, but trust me, it's so good. It's about a boy named Kanggo whose sense of smell is so powerful, he can smell emotions. He despises the smell of lies, so he initially hates Kamin, who is very withdrawn and secretive. But Kamin has a secret crush on Kanggo, and his affection smells so sweet, that Kanggo starts to do anything to be near Kamin. But the closer Kanggo tries to get to him, the more Kamin's guard goes up.

The Third Ending - The first season, specifically, because I didn't like the second season. Yoonseul reconnects with Jun, a guy he rejected in high school, believing it will fix his karma. When the two become closer, Yoonseul becomes confused about his feelings for Jun. After rejecting him for the second time, Jun pulls away, and Yoonseul realizes too late that he's fallen for Jun.

A Shoulder to Cry On - Specifically the manhwa. While I thought the drama was a pretty good adaptation, my favorite scene played out much more satisfyingly in the manhwa. After rejecting Dayeol and pushing him away, Taehyun regrets his decision and tries to make up with him. But Dayeol decides his life is easier without Taehyun in it, and he tells him, "I can handle my feelings for you, but I don't think I can handle you." And it's on their graduation day, so he just straight disappears from his life after that.

2. I first started reading manhwa in 2020 when I was in quarantine and needed a distraction. I'd been reading Haikyuu or something, and someone on YouTube recommended Someone Else's BL Manhwa. I instantly fell in love with it and to this day it's still my favorite BL manhwa.

I transitioned to dramas when I watched Blueming, which is one of the few k-drama adaptations that I thought was much better than the manhwa it was based on.

Aside from those two, a BL that holds a special place in my heart is Bad Buddy. It was the one that started my great GMMTV binge-watch, and I've watched it three times since then. It's my comfort watch.

3. I don't really like the seme/uke labels, but I can just tell you some of my favorite BL main characters.

I tend to be drawn to two kinds of characters. The first are those who are not very smart, but very passionate and sincere.

Gun - My School President

Heesu - Heesu in Class 2

The second are those who are stubborn and kind of bratty. Even better if they're only bratty to the love interest, because that's good stuff.

Seunghee - Someone Else's BL

Team - Between Us (Between Us wasn't very good, but Team can stay. And no, I haven't watched UWMA.)

Day - Last Twilight

S2E7 Burial - a post viewing rant

feeling like brokeback mountain tai tonight, head hung low, in solemnity. I just watched season 2 episode 7 'Burial' (yes i havent finished, don't sue me i like to take my time) and by god if that wasn't one of the greatest episodes of television i have ever witnessed in my short life. it was simply fantastic and topped the previous episode for me.

the way they weaved between the timelines was particularly good. i do not understand how they managed to fit in so much character development in one episode. like i feel like we learnt so much about shauna, misty, van, and lottie. i also found it really interesting how each one of their 'therapies' seemed to be really effective almost like it was planned .

i was nearly brought to tears by shauna and that stupid fucking goat. the manifestation of shauna's trauma through her estranged relationship with her daughter uugghhh. i cannot imagine what effect it would have had on her to lose the baby in the wilderness and it completely explains why shauna keeps callie 'at arms length'. the callback to jackie was also done fantastically. i miss her too though shauna, you're not special.

this episode had me thinking that misty isnt even that psychotic; baby just wants to be loved. her motives of not wanting her friend to be eaten actually warms my heart (doesnt excuse what she did). the fear of knowing that the body was out there and if it were to be found, mari would turn it into her next masterpiece of a stew, would be too much for me. i was also enjoying having all the girls on the compound just as much as she was. my very much needed comic relief.

ok taissa really turned up the crunchy gay vibes this episode like you know that women knows how to pitch a tent. (doesn't she have like a state to run or something?!?) the taivan moments were DELICIOUS and she was like REALLY getting into that kiss. i love how all it took was one kiss from her ex gf for her to start planning her divorce.

look van, your situation is tragic, really, but girl...you have had your face eaten off by wolves and have been burned alive TWICE like i think cancer is the least of your problems.

I FUCKING CALLED THAT LOTTIE'S THERAPIST WAS NOT REAL!!!! I KNEWWWWW IT. just thinking though, to be Lottie Matthew's therapist you'd have to be like the final boss therapist you get once you have defeated all other therapists. i find it very interesting that lottie wanted all the girls to go home once she had scared herself sufficiently (dont even ask me what that Antler Queen shit was about). All nat had to do was up the sexual innuendo and to get her to change her mind.

speaking of which, the lottienat truthers were FED this episode. like they're SOOO GAYYYY. I can feel a rage creeping up on me already. it's a preemptive rage. i am preparing myself for when the COWARD writers of this show do not deliver on the canon that we know we deserve in season 3. LIKE ITS ALL THERE. ALL THAT SET UP FOR... a wilderness lottienat kiss (*prays*). i will stop myself from speaking any further on the issue of lottienat (im sure you'll see the gifsets later - sorry in advance)

ok, and FINALLY. Of all the gore, bloodshed, and gruesome, or downright depraved moments in this show...NOTHING has come close to what i witnessed in the final scene of this episode. it is the only moment in yellowjackets where i have actually had to cover up what i was seeing on the screen. i am a big girl now and that was just too much for me. like, the cannibalism is one thing, but i draw the line at having to watch shauna shipman beat the shit out of lottie Matthew's pretty face. LIKE YOU CANT DO THAT TO HER. i was waiting and wanting so badly for natalie to step in and stop her but she just kept going. no one did anything and i dont get it. i understand that she needed to let her rage out but SHE WAS ABOUT TO KILL HER WTF. when lottie put her hands behind her back, my heart sunk bro. shauna you violent bitch. lottie you pathological people pleaser.

yea, great ep

Let’s see the Olivia 911 song list

thank youuuuu for asking i love you!! i know i said five but i didn’t want to stop at five so i did ten. also im gonna try and refrain myself from just saying every song is a buck song but it’s hard

1. Brutal- seasons 1-3 May. I feel like we as a collective don’t talk about the early seasons of may grant enough. she was just a kid! and she was being bullied so bad she thought she didn’t have any way out of it, it’s so heartbreaking. and then she just kept going through stuff in her family life and… i just care for her so much and this is HER song fr.

2. Deja Vu- Buddie. there’s no like actual moment of buddie for deja vu but i just feel like this is what’s going through both of their heads every single time the other person has a date with someone else. like this is the one and only buddie jealousy song to me!

3. Vampire- Buck/abby. like i’m sorry you can’t convince me buck abby was an ethical relationship and im NOT talking about the age gap even though that’s the main point of this song. like she got his info in a sketchy way and then basically used him to help her heal until she was ready to move on but then didn’t even have the guts to do an actual breakup and left the kid hanging for months. call me a bitch but i feel very comfortable saying she sucked so much of his energy and life. it took two full seasons for him to fully find closure from that while she had started a whole new life! :/

4. Stranger- Buck/abby again lol. this is like the other side of that argument where it’s like, buck was totally crushed but now in season seven who the fuck cares about her! she’s just a stranger now! and the lyric “you are the best thing i keep so far out of my life” is very them. because she did change his outlook on life in MANY ways but his healing from her was the best thing he could have ever done.

5. logical & enough for you- maddie. my heart breaks listening to these songs from a maddie perspective. thinking about how long she suffered and dealt with so much she didn’t deserve,,, these are the best songs for her imo especially the lyric “one day i’ll be everything for somebody else” because she is she really is! and she’s getting married to the person who looks at her like she hung the moon and i love her!!!

6. Making the bed- eddie, specifically pre canon eddie. idk how to explain this one but it’s very much just the idea of him getting back to his son realizing how shit things are and being like … i had a part in making this problem and now i need to fix my shit. and then he did!

7. 1sf3sb- henren in the early seasons/precanon. the cheating storyline is one of my least favs but i love how they showed them rebuilding from it and coming back even stronger. but in the midst of it all this song is truly very them from karen’s perspective. she was valid for everything during that time btw karen is a literal saint for her patience.

8. boahsg- ravi, our little clumsy socially awkward darling

9. Love is embarrassing- Bisexual buck!!!!!! this is my fav liv song and it’s so buck it’s not even funny. the anthem for the give more than they get hopeless romantics oh god i love him and it became way way more buck when he kissed a man who’s kind of a loser. i bet he’s planning out his wedding with a guy he’s never marrying right now!

10. finally, the newest addition to my list and the most important in my mind: Scared of my guitar the most buddie song to ever buddie (other than good luck babe). I love this song so much coming from the perspective of them literally not being able to lie to each other but they can lie to significant others like it’s nothing. oh there’s so much good stuff in there it’s amazing.

thank you for letting me do this anon ily
