#we're all okay now except i am sad lol

[balkanradfem]

So, I've been having a miserable time, and I'm going to write about it, because I thought of something insightful and deep to say about it at the end! It's all gonna make sense. It's a long post so I'm gonna put it under a cut.

If you didn't real my spatula story, in it I tell you about the painful process of buying a single spatula, valuing it above all other objects for the miracles it could do for me, and then having my roommate use it every day and leave it dirty in the sink so I couldn't use it! I have braved up since then and told her that I need that thing and to please wash it, and this is where we left of.

Some time later, I went to use the spatula, and discovered something bad had happened. The spatula was damaged. It's handle wasn't made out of silicone, but transparent plastic, and my roommate was leaving it on top of boiling pots and the stovetop, to the point where it had melted in several places.

I almost started crying seeing it damaged; I took it to my room, intending to never lend it to anyone again. I went to sleep sad, wondering why I get myself into these situations, and decided to have a comforting no-screen day the next day. I was just going to do my laundry, mess with plants, make fresh bread, read a little, open all the shutters and windows to get fresh air inside, make soothing tea, and remind myself that regardless of one damaged spatula, I can still find so much happiness and peace in life and I shouldn't linger on this grief.

However, as soon as I woke up the next day, my roommate knocked on my door in severe distress; both of her eyes were inflamed, red, she was crying, saying she couldn't see. She told me she's been cleaning mold at work with poisonous chemicals and the fumes must have gotten into her eyes. I realized it must have been bleach she was using, as it's the only thing that works on black mold, and it must have damaged her eyes. I took her to the emergency room.

We had to walk there, and it was a long walk; I was scared about my neck but ultimately worried about her, she was tearing up the entire time. We spent several hours waiting in various lines and waiting rooms, she had me talk to her employer to explain where we are, and the employer decided to come there too. Then finally, she was seen by a doctor, and we found out her retinas had surface injuries. They explained the damage is not permanent, she would get better in a few days, but it will sting horribly for the next two days. She got instructions to get eyedrops and ointment to put in her eyes several times a day, to ease the pain and help the healing process. They put some drops in her eyes and she finally felt a little better and we were all relieved.

We got home, and we still needed to get to her doctor (I didn't even know she had a doctor, or health insurance, but her employer explained it all to me) to get prescription for her medicine, so we could get it at a lower price. We had to walk there too, but even after we did, we found out the doctor left for the day and we'd have to come back tomorrow. We were recommended to just purchase the medicine at the full price and then get it refunded a day later.

So we went to the pharmacy next, and they asked for cash if we wanted a refund later, and she didn't have any, so I paid for the medicine, and by the time we got home it was 2pm, and I was shaken, exhausted, and extremely sad. I put drops and ointment in her eyes, and then made us both a big soup, because I knew she couldn't cook in this state, and I wouldn't have her starving.

When the emergency part was over, I was once again... sad about my spatula. Because I couldn't get people to not damage my stuff, and then I couldn't get my comfort day to deal with the grief, and now I spent a whole day in panic and helping someone else and I realized that for some reason, caring for other people makes me feel bad. I don't think I was like this before but I could tell I was absolutely miserable about everything that went on that day. I was no longer in a state to calm down on my own, so I clinged to my laptop for support.

Later in the evening, I went out just to get an internet connection for a bit, to reply to a few messages, and when I came out, it was snowing. It was the most beautiful, magical scene you could imagine. Tiny little snowflakes, falling so slowly, so it looked like the entire air was glittering. Lamps were giving them a warm glow. I was mesmerized. And I decided, you know what, it's not that bad. This makes me feel better about everything. If I get a magical winterland scene at the end of the day, I'm satisfied. This will fix me.

So the next day! I wake up sad, but I cheer up thinking this is going to be my new no-screen day. I do my laundry, transplant my plants, write some things down, start making my bread. I make oat milk and then decide to make some smoothies with it. I ask my roommate if she wants some food and she says no, she can cook on her own now. Great, I think! But then she comes to me distressed, asking me to talk to her employer for her. It turned out her employer wanted her to go work that day, which is absolutely insane, and I had to spend some time patiently explaining to her that no, half-blind woman with burning eyes cannot go to work this day, my god. She reluctantly backed off and I let my roommate taste the smoothies I've made, and I gave her half of her favourite one (it was chocolate!).

We still needed to get that prescription we didn't get yesterday, and I was dreading it, cozied in my bed reading and thinking about how I'm going to pull that off, because at this point my neck was upset at me for walking,I couldn't walk two days in a row. I could barely stand up without pain. My roommate came to my room to notify me, that she's going off to be at a friend's place and she won't come back until tomorrow. I remind her that we still need to go to the hospital, and she looks confused and sad. I offered we could go immediately, so she could go to her friend right after. She agreed and I got ready, and then instead of walking, I just slowly rode a bike beside her, feeling a bit silly, but at least not adding to the pain.

The doctor was a horrid male who made me feel so uncomfortable I wanted to disappear. I communicated to him we needed prescription for medicine and he wrote it wrongly, and a nurse had to write a new one. I realized she was covering for him yesterday too when he left before his shift ended. Poor woman. After we left the hospital, the roommate immediately tried to ditch me, and I once again explained we needed to still go to the pharmacy to get a refund, and at this point I am exasperated. It is so obvious I don't have much money, and I paid for the medicine to make sure she wasn't in pain, and now it was too much effort for her to go with me so I could get some of the money back. I can't do it on my own because it's her documents and I'm only translating what she needs so she could communicate. I helped her get out of work to make sure she was safe even though I hate talking to her employer. I became extremely sad. She followed me to the pharmacy and then left as soon as she could.

When I got home I actually started crying. Not specifically because of this, but because this is a pattern. I regularly take care of my sick roommates only for them to ignore me and avoid me afterwards, I make sure nobody is hungry or in pain while they're living with me, even lend them my things only to get them damaged and broken without a sorry or a replacement. I didn't understand how it kept happening to me; all I wanted was to be humane to people around me. To do anything else but to care for the sick was unimaginable. I still couldn't get anyone to care about my problems, but I didn't particularly want to, I don't like people worrying about me. But to be dismissed and ignored so completely? I felt like I was in charge of a child somehow, forcing them to get trough their chores, even though this roommate is my exact age, and should understand how things work, how plastic melts, how you need to remember scheduled visits to the doctor. Why is this happening?

I went back on my no-screen day, because I was so upset, I needed some gay stuff to feel better, and I watched a bunch of videos I had saved on my laptop, laughed so much, and felt better. And then I got curious, how come this made me feel so much better? I felt like I actually had a great time. Just being reassured there are gays and lesbians out in this world made me feel normal again. It always does. And then I put two and two together. This is happening to me because I'm a lesbian and alone in the straight world, isn't it?

Because I'm single, and alone, and if a woman is alone and single, then it's assumed she is just a support character for everyone else's struggles, isn't it? I obviously have nothing else going on, no male to sacrifice all of my time to, so I am presumed to be a free-for-all resource. If I was in a straight relationship it would be assumed I was busy taking care of a male, but I'm not, so everyone just assumes I'm here... for them. I'm supposed to help the 'normal' people function because I am presumed to have no other goal. So if people are sick and I am just there and willing.. obviously there's no need for them to feel any certain way about it, and it's okay to take it for granted, and not care if they damage something or cost me something, and only come to me when they need something, because I am relegated to being a resource. What else could I be? Obviously nobody wants me since I'm alone and I should be grateful to at least be of help to someone, and be of some sort of use to the society. And this happens to me even though I only communicate, and work for, and live with other women.

And if I lived with other lesbians.. it wouldn't be like this. I would be a normal part of society. I wouldn't be an afterthought, something to use and forget immediately. I would just be a normal person. With my love for a spatula, fascination with gentle snow, and the desire to have a soothing day where I make myself experience joy and comfort. All of this would matter, and be a part of who I am, I could talk about it, I could talk about things that seem so unimportant and irrelevant to everyone here. Even if alone, I would still be presumed to have an inherent value, my personality would count for something.

I kept thinking that some of this is my fault, maybe I act in the wrong way, or I'm too mild, too helpful, too forgiving, but now I see this was set up from the start. If I'm not a resource to a single male, then I'm presumed to be a resource for everyone else.

It makes me so mad to have to live like this. Is anyone else going mad?

OKAY IDK IF YOUVE SEEN THE STUFF ABOUT ZZZ GETTING SKINS (I’m rlly excited tbh)

But it’s now left in my mind the thought of Lighter getting skins, and I have had 3 goofy concepts:

1. Cowboy Lighter (specifically him as a deputy and Ceaser as a sheriff, them matching is cute to me)

2. Lighter in either a body guard outfit or a suit

3. LIGHTER SWIMSUIT SKIN EXCEPT ITS THE GOOFIEST THING EVER. Like him with an inflatable pool floatie and sunscreen on his face and arms.

Also ofc he’d keep his sunglasses in all they’d just change slightly in style. BUT YEAH I HAD THESE THOUGHTS, AND NEEDED MY FELLOW LIGHTER FAN TO HEAR THEM. Also how are you feeling about skins in zzz and are you hyped abt anyone specifically getting one/any of the three shown? (I love Nicole’s personally)

I have seen them!! I also like Nicole's, it's very cute and the colors match her well!

Now this is gonna sound sad, but it actually never even crossed my mind that male characters might also be getting skins at one point, LOL (I'm too disillusioned about gacha am I not)

but now that you've MENTIONED IT, I could probably kill a person for a Lighter skin. I LOVE all of your ideas.... bodyguard Lighter in a suit... mmm yesss........yes......... the possibilities are endless.....

If we're talking delusions, then how about an entire beach episode, haha? Wouldn't that be cool (I also immediately thought "pool floatie" even before I finished reading the sentence!!!)

And about other characters I'd like to see having skins... I think Lycaon and Corin having matching skins would be cute <3 Even something basic like Little Red and Big Bad Wolf (dressed in Granny's clothes, hehe). Or maid Lycaon and butler Corin?

ted lasso, post-finale thoughts.

I went into the finale thinking yeah, if the writing serves, I can accept any outcome even if it's not exactly what I want. Instead, I was hit with a plethora of mixed emotions I didn't expect to have. Confusion, anger, hurt, annoyance, small bursts of joy in between, and just deep sadness. Almost 20 hours later and I'm still incredibly dissatisfied and processing. For the most part, finales should provide a feeling of celebration and relief. I... don't feel any of that.

I'm just really trying to pinpoint why I'm so sad.

Of course everything inevitably has to come to an end. Of course Ted was always going to reunite with his kid. Of course it's not about winning or losing. Of course Tedbecca can remain platonic if that was always the plan. Of course that's the way life goes, but...

For a show (and this season particularly) that constantly encouraged us to 'believe' and 'hope' in the idea that 'everything will work out', all those 75 minutes did was take me on an unsettling, emotional journey for no concrete reason other than to mess with the audience (the opening scene was just adding salt in the Tedbecca wound I've had since S2). Because everything in a macro sense, "worked out". But the WAY it "worked out" does not sit well with me?? And it's supposed to? For a lot of people (on Reddit/Facebook, lol), it was enough?? Richmond not technically winning and Ted leaving like that without so much as a tear? What am I missing??

When I tell you I'm trying to embrace the good parts, I'm really trying. Yes to KBPR & the women's team, Yes to Colin kissing his fella, Yes to Rebecca & Mae & the guys owning the club, Yes to Roy becoming Manager.

So... why am I still so upset? Hmm, let's see.

The boys' musical number? The cutest. Ted didn't think so.

Nate's apology? Heartbreaking. Ted didn't bat an eyelash.

Rebecca begging twice for Ted to stay? Ted, absolute silence.

Beard staying/getting married in London to his toxic gf? Comic relief, haha, fine. Except Ted wasn't there as Best Man.

Don't even get me started on the huge disservice to the Roy/Keeley/Jamie triangle.

Now listen, I get that he misses Henry & Henry misses his dad. I'm not that cold. A father/son's love is important. It was always the catalyst for this show; for him to work on himself so he can be a better father unlike the one he grew up with. That's fine.

But on this particular week. His last week with his Richmond family. There was NO sense of him being sad to leave them. He can be sad about missing Henry but he can ALSO be sad about leaving. No, he just completely checked out. He let everyone pour out their hearts (Hannah's getting her third Emmy, mark my words) to him, and he just stone-faced the entire time.

THIS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.

The argument is that he was internally processing, he was overwhelmed, he was trying to distance himself so it would hurt less. Fair points, okay. But this is a television show, moreover, A FINALE. TV characters, while relatable, are heightened versions of ourselves, there so we can better process our emotions and learn to handle things better in our real lives. Ted deserved MORE dialogue and displaying MORE emotion than whatever this was.

We're never going to see him again. We're over here crying along with Rebecca, Nate & Beard, but he didn't sob once. Even though he spent three years building a family with them. I even thought, hey at least he left his legacy with Trent's book but newsflash, he wanted his name taken off that too! Complete erasure.

I just feel so robbed of better moments. Like there were nice moments here and there. But they could've been BETTER. Honestly, Nate & Rebecca's breakdowns were close to perfection, so much love there. But the lack of dialogue and Ted not reciprocating? Broke ME.

I just cannot. understand. this. choice.

Massive sigh. I'm just truly baffled by the way everything wrapped up and not getting the satisfied feeling that one half of the viewership got. Maybe I'm in the minority, but that means something. It carries weight. Also, for a "three-season arc" that was planned well in advance, why all the rewrites and parallels and fakeouts... it's just cruel. But as the theme says (and maybe this was a warning all along), yeah, I guess this might well be it.

This show has given us so much and the last season flailed for the most part. I don't want to disrespect the show by being negative and cynical (looks like I failed!!) or cast blame on anyone in particular. The cast/crew are amazing people and I'll be grateful for being a part of the journey but I'm just so sad and this feeling sucks and I will never get over it.

Going to miss them. x

Twice's 10th member is receiving hate

The members noticed the difference in her mood the whole day. It could be because she got bad grades, she woke up late as she spend the night training or because of the hate she's receiving. Maybe all of them but the unnies wouldn't know, she didn't wanna seem weak and bother them with her issues when she knows all of them also receive hate and are doing fine. After a long day, she said good night to her sisters and practically sprinted to her room without her roommates (SMC) sleeping as soon as her head touched the pillow, which was already a bad sign since she hated to sleep without someone in the room with her.

Meanwhile in the living room...

Jihyo - Did you girls see how she looks tired?

Jeongyeon - Yeah, she's also in a mood. The girl can give us a run for our money when she's being sassy *rolls her eyes*

Nayeon - I taught her well *dries fake tears*

Momo - Be serious grandma, we're talking about our child

Nayeon - YAH! STOP CALLING ME GRANDMA

Dahyun - With all due respect unnie, shhhhh. You know Y/N is a light sleeper (can't relate, I could sleep through an earthquake)

Tzuyu - She's right unnie, once I got thirsty and opened the door to go to the kitchen and get a cup of water. She woke up immediately asking if I was okay

Chaeyoung - Fr, can someone go check if she woke up, please? I feel like it's been some time since she fell asleep so fast, she's probably exhausted. I agree with Jihyo unnie.

Sana - I'm gonna see if she's still in her room, brb

On the SMC room...

Y/N - Well, that didn't go the way I wanted. I wish I'd just escape this hate, they're not being fair to me, I keep being up all night overthinking all the mistakes they point out and training to be better than what they see. Am I not good enough? Maybe I suck at this. What if the group did improve without me being the black sheep? 

While thinking all of this she wasn't aware that a certain hamster had entered her room and informed the rest she was awake. When she finally came back from her mind, she let out a scream because her unnie was just staring at her looking quite creepy

Y/N - UNNIE, YOU SCARED ME!

Sana - Sorry honey, you're somewhere else but I knocked before entering. How are you? You seemed kinda out of it...

Y/N - I'm doing okay unnie, just lost a night's sleep, otherwise, I feel fine  

Sana - Don't lie to me, we know you. Right guys?

At that moment everyone that was outside the door went inside and nodded their heads.

Mina - Sana's right babe, we took note that you're not the same as always as soon as you got out of your bed this morning. 

Y/N - But-

Jihyo - No buts, we're getting through the issue you're having and you're getting some sleep after this with me (Jihyo, Jeongyeon and Mina's room)

Dahyun - Unnie is right (again), start talking, please... We're worried about you!

Y/N - That's exactly why I didn't wanna talk with you guys. I don't want to be a burden.

Momo - Again with this... We already talked about it, you know you're important to us and we care about you and your feelings, every time you need someone to hear you, we're there for you. Stop thinking that you're burdening us when you get sad, hurt or even mad like this morning. We know you like the back of our hands and we'll understand anything you request without questioning 'cause you always try to express what you need. Except if you ask for my jokbal lmao

Chaeyoung - What a way to kill the moment, da- dang.

Nayeon - And here I thought Momo was speaking facts, yeah... That sounds more like her lol

Jihyo - You did well Momo... Don't think we forgot about you young lady

Y/N - I mean, you could... Jk, tysm for always assuring me that you love me, sometimes things appear to be harder to believe after everything you hear from people.

Jeongyeon - Which people? Who do I've to kill? 

Tzuyu - Am I the only one who already understood what's going on? She's receiving hate! Now that I know everything falls in place, the anger, the sadness, the insecurity...

Mina - Wow, it makes sense. Is this it sweetie?

Y/N - Yo, are you a therapist 'cause gee, you read me like a book lol 

Sana - Stop joking, if that's the case, it's something severe

Y/N - Ok, ok. I'm sorry. Yeah, I got some hater recently that I can't get out of my hair, they talked about my dancing skills, my vocals, how I'm always lazy on stage and my poor expressions. It sucks as I'm starting to believe it and I can't seem to stop wanting to train, that's why I stay late at the studio. I'm exhausted unnies, it hurts so much to see that no one notices my efforts and just sees what I did incorrectly. *sobs*

Jihyo pulls Y/N closer and she lays on her chest while crying. Jihyo feels her shirt getting wetter as time went by and she felt heartbroken to see her maknae so glum. Without anything else to do everyone sat near and gave their love in their own style, all while Jihyo caressed Y/N's back repeating that things will be okay. 

After half an hour, sobs turned into sniffles and Y/N got out of Jihyo's chest and leaned on Momo that was behind her. Momo instantly gave her a kiss on the forehead, making the maknae giggle and the unnies hearts flutter with how cute she looked being so vulnerable. 

Jihyo - Are you better now?

Y/N - It's not something that goes away like magic but you guys made me feel inches better, you're the best family I could ask for!

Twice - OWNNNNN, that's what we're here for love bug. We're pressing charges against your haters or we're not TWICE!

You can certainly expect all the members to appear at JYP to threaten JYPapa so he can make that come true and give some vacation so they can help their dear maknae to heal because they love their dear maknae. 

A/N: I'm sorry for any errors, English is not my first language. Pls, let me know if there's something wrong, ty for reading <3

🐈‍⬛ 🐇 & 🦨 for the little friends ask game!!

Oo yay my first ask!

Just as a heads up I haven’t shifted to either of these DRs yet but I’m still gonna he answering for The Elementalists DR and Academy Inferno DR! 💞This also got long sooo under the cut it goes

🐈‍⬛ : BALANCED BLACK CAT . . . have you made yourself overpowered (no judgement btw) or are there aspects of your being that counteract your powerful nature?

The Elementalists: So I'm following the game's story line mostly which means yes I am overpowered lol. I'm like a demi god kind of except they aren't called gods they're called sources. I'm known for being the only sun attuned on campus which is a third tier attunement so everyone has pretty high expectations for my magical capabilities. I do prefer my second attunement which is air so I guess that kind of nerfs me? Idrc though cause I'm using air magic to ZOOM through campus!

Academy Inferno: I can't blame any source material for this one cause I made it all up but I did make myself overpowered again 😅 I'm pretty much known as the strongest necromancer and I scripted that my magic was so powerful it took a few years longer to plateau than normal. What can I say I just wanna be epic at magic 🤷

🐇 : RATIONAL RABBIT . . . what are the beliefs and or prophecies that people in your desired reality believe in simply because of tradition?

The Elementalists: Okay this one is kind of sad but blood magic has been illegal for a good while because this ONE GUY (I hate him so much) started murdering people to achieve ultimate power. Like blood magic was used for healing and a lot of other good stuff but he gave it a bad name which sucks cause my teacher is a blood attuned and she has to hide it but she's literally good vibes personified!!! Raife when I catch you Raife 🤬

Academy Inferno: This one is more fun though cause a lot of witches believe that if they become powerful enough a group of people can combine their magic and form ✨time magic✨. It hasn't been done but it has resulted in a lot of party games and sleepovers dedicated to trying to get it. It's a famous rumor/myth that the Academy's headmaster got the closest to succeeding and that's why he's lived such a long time.

🦨 : SOFT SKUNK . . . what are a few of your favorite memories in your desired reality? what kind of emotion to these memories bring about? who else is in these memories?

The Elementalists: Okay okay this is a tough one but I'm gonna try my best. The day I got my familiar, Tim, is a VERY happy memory. He's literally just a little guy. A fella. So dopey and sweet 🥰🥰 We got our familiars at the start of class and spent the rest of the class bonding with them and I just admired him for most of it. Another memory is my first birthday party that my friends threw after I told them I never had one growing up. They did not care if it wasn't actually my birthday they just wanted to party lol. It was also my first "birthday" celebrated with my estranged twin brother so yaaayy :D

Academy Inferno: This one is easier but requires a little backstory. I mentioned my magic plateaued later than it was supposed to so I was moved into a facility where I could be monitored to make sure my magic wouldn't hurt me or anyone else (it was a good place dw) but yeah the day I got the okay to leave and attend school was a GOOD day. I got to leave and celebrate with my family a bit before school started which was nice. Another good memory is meeting my friend Iridian on her first day of school. If anyone has seen "The Parent Trap" think of that camp scene where the girl helped pull the other girl's bag out of the car and that's how me and Iridian met lol. She was born on Earth so was new to magic stuff and she saw me walking past and was like "we're friends now can you help me" and I just went along with it.

Helluva boss - Mastermind

Wow. That was sad. Vivzie has made me sad now.

Okay, but for like one second after that feather fell when stolas showed up to protect Blitzo, I thought that Stolas had taken the hit instead of him and DIED!!!! AHHH!!!!! That would have been WAY too much to handle! 😭😭😭

Fr, I would have cried if that happened. (I think. I'm almost incapable of crying at movies, lol.)

Also, the song was AWESOME. Like, in the beginning, I though he was gonna show that Stella was the villian, but then he kept refering to the mastermind as 'he', so I was like, oh, you're gonna blame Elsa? (Andrealphus.) And then this part came: I simply cannot bear! (Or something.) I must make all of hell awaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! And I thought: Okay, now we're gonna know who you'll blame! Elsa, right?

"I AM THE MASTERMIND!!!!!!!!!" You- fucking- WHAT!?!?!? Oh my fucking god, Stolas, WHYYYYY??!!?!?!?!

And then everything became super sad. But like, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TELL THEM ELSA DID IT?!?!?!? Okay, I admitt that he didn't actually *DO* anything except for being an asshole, and it would also be very hard to prove, and- Okay, yeah, I see why you didn't blame Elsa. Btw, Satan's little therapist/calm-down-helper/something is now my favorite character.

And also, in the start of the song, it reminded me REALLY much of the start of Let it go..... They did this on purpose, folks.

first thoughts on Ted Lasso premiere

Phoebe remains the absolute best.

DRESSED LIKE AN UMLAUT

Ted being all sad and rumpled and rumpled and sad 😭 he needs comforting but also antidepressants and some serious rejiggering of his parenting life lbr 😭 looking forward to the fic

love everything with Nate and Rupert and the whole West Ham sterile environment...it's so deliciously fucked up. And the panicking + spitting under the table?? FUCK. oh, Nate. i look forward to the fucked up fic

I'm not sad to have some Roy x Keeley angst... hoping with @wildwren that it goes angstier before or gets better! (WREN I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR FIC 👀👀👀👀) but also I love them and want there to be a very satisfying arc of them working their shit out and getting back together and fucking Jamie

I really don't think I followed the sewer metaphor right.. it sounded like a suggestion to form a human centipede?? 😹 i don't look forward to that fic, but god bless if that's your kink.

also was not expecting crotch shots as they descended into the sewer... looking forward to the gifsets

much good himbo-ness!

Disco, lol

what's Beard reading now, and why is he leaving it on Roy to carry all of Nate's old job?

yes thank you for sharing your bosoms with Keeley, Rebecca! please do more; Keeley is sad and deserves boobs looking forward to the fic

oh fuck, it didn't occur to me that Keeley's office would be joyless thanks to her VCs appointing the CFO, ... didn't she hire some of the people, though?? why aren't those ones at least fun and awesome?? I'm going to be bummed if she fails at running her own company or hates it... but that doesn't feel like a move the show would pull, i hope? she should have success and JOY. may need to write the fic

Sam shirtless yes thank you

Jamie's hair lol no thank you

he's okay to drive but forever changed, haf... of course Beard knows toad venom. there was no doubt in my mind.

press conference duel YES. I love Nate taking Ted down and Ted lifting Nate up. even if Ted's too distracted and depressed to have his full joke mojo, that was great.

what must Nate be thinking after he angrily closes his laptop. look forward to he fic and meta

get it, Sharon! (that's not anyone we're supposed to recognize in her bed, right?)

Ted asking sad questions and Beard not answering except to point out that they already passed his apartment 😭 Beard what is up with you rn??? looking forward to the fic

Very curious about what Trent is up to. 👀👀 looking forward to the fic

as I expected might be the case, I was vibrating with New Canon Energy the whole time and it was a bit distracting... I definitely need to watch it again soon now that I know the basics of what happens. but I liked a lot of things in this episode, and i am not angry about anything, all of which is a delight and a relief since last time I joined a fandom during a hiatus it was Sherlock, and my feelings about the following episode were Complicated

[madraleen]

Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign A Not-So-Kind Commentary

-yuu and mika are so sweet, and this situation in the vampire orphanage is so sad.

-i assume mika's turned into a vampire?

-huhuhu, mika teethies XD

-the pace is kinda slow, huh

-idk. it just doesn't *excel* at anything. it feels like a shounen formula that doesn't excel at anything or stand out in any way.

-the fact that the squad has lengthy strategy conversations at a normal pace when the vampires are just standing there waiting for them to be done is ridiculous. they're speaking normally, no hurriedness, no nothing.

-i feel like the story lacks the benefit of a concrete end goal, and that makes mika's early reveal wonky. there is no endgame to yuu. he wants to kill vampires- okay, and? what's the ultimate goal, the ultimate baddie? it's all very vague. us knowing that mika is alive makes for frustration rather than tension, because he isn't doing anything. there's nothing creating suspense except the anticipation of how yuu will react when he sees him. we are waiting for that conflict, the moment when they meet, and we're not getting such heightened kind of conflict from anywhere else, so getting through the training and the minions is like "okay, but can they meet already." and we're repeating the same tiny arc- yuu has established he looks after others like four times now. and for me, the characters aren't strong enough to get you through idle times and training arcs on their own. they're absolutely fine as characters, they do the job, but they're neither stand-out versions of their archetypes, nor am i emotionally invested in them to just go through anything with them and be happy about it. hence: some conflict and real tension please

-they're doping?? lol

-"let's hurry," shinoa says, walking as slowly as she can

-WHY ARE SHINOA AND YUU WALKING SO SLOWLY OH MY GOD! HURRY, GO FIND YOUR FRIENDS IN THE PARK!

-the action is so lukewarm. there's no tension- not in the sound, not in the animation, not in the directing, nowhere.

-ooh mika did stab guren! interesting.

-OOOH YUU STABBED MIKA! NOW WE'RE TALKING!

-these long conversations that stop the action really kill the vibe/tension

-the fact that the entire battle has stopped, the WAR HAS STOPPED, just so two random kids can get their reunion reaction, ffs, are you SURE

-AHAHA DID MIKA JUST CARRY YUU BRIDAL STYLE, MIKA WHY

-what's with yuu's blood eye, is that his 10%? oh he went full monster, cool

-aaahhhh mika jumping in front of yuu so that he won't kill shinoa, nice nice nice

-the action is still incredibly slow though.

-i don't think i've mentioned lately how fond i am of kensho ono. i am so fond, i think it's such a shame that he’s not talked about as often as other seiyuu.

-like literally, poor yuu turned into a whole-ass monster and didn't even kill one progenitor. not even one vampire.

[k-kizkhalifa]

s2ep11 --

alright guys.. here it is, the continuance that NO ONE ASKED FOR BUT IM IN INVESTED IN MYSELF SO I AM DOING THIS. im curled up, phone ready, computer ready, sweater on. lettttttttts ggooooooooo

i love the beginning already. misaki if you don't pick the right choice ill destroy you. but also, why are brother usami and papa usami sending shit to misaki. boy. im through WITH THEM. AND NOT MISAKI ACTUALLY CONSIDERING ONE OF THERES. oh you hopeless idiot.

Akihiko stomping on it! HAHAHAHAHAAH (i love a good ole toxic man, fk.) Akihiko so happpy. Awe my baby.

I love how chill they are together, now. I hope that everything that happened last episode was for the good. But also, lmfao, I am not getting my hopes up. This anime fucking destroys me left and right doesn't it????

i feel the butler is such a good person. he deserves some love. (i just mean in general.)

lol Misaki saying he'd go on the trip "alone" LMFAO. AWE USAGI SAYING IT WAS IMPORTANT. AWE AWEAWEAWE AWE

OH HERE WE GO. I love Misaki's travel attire. LOL

OH GREAT PAPA USAMI AGAIN. bro if papa usami shows up imma flip a switch. i feel like you all are thinking: get ready to flip a switch.

oh great usagi SPRINTING to the car. LOL HE DIDN'T FINISH HIS WRITNG.alsdkjfalskjdf

ok i will admit this scene is adorable. the way usagi is GRINNING at misaki being so happy about the ocean view. giving me hope for a future, my guys.

lol petty cash of 1.3 billion. not usagi saying: i can make it myself.

ok i love usagi in his glasses. i can't help it.

the rubber ducks are giving me a fee-- I FKN KNEW IT. PAPA USAMI. THIS MFR. lol but can we just realize this is where usagi gets his childish love for toys from? hahah.

oh great papa usami here to talk. smh. oh man the way misaki gets nervous about this convo. time to man up, misaki. you gotta have these conversations sometimes. i just think it is really sad how everyone talks about akihiko, these ppl just don't understand him at all. it makes me angry.

damn papa usami giving misaki a fkn lesson in life and love right now. man the doubts misaki gets himself into. ugh.

I LAUGHED SO HARD, bro usagi just acting like he didn't expect anything less than this from misaki.

Usagi: what fkn idiot floats in the bath that long? this fkn idiot.

alskjdfalskjf HAHAHAH

lol the BL Manag. BRO JUST BRINGS THIEM WITH HIM EVERYWHERE.

no usagi being so fkn sweet. broooooo. misaki he is BEGGING YOU TO TLAK TO HIM. TALK TO HIM. oh okay, i'll stop yelling. they're talking finally.

oh no not misaki talking about leaving. and being so worried about usagi. ugh. i just wish i could take these two and push them together and say, "now kiss and be happy and fk the other ppl!"

oh great i beat usagi is with his father. YEP. HERE WE GO, ISN'T IT? LOL AT MISAKI EAVESDROPPING.

ugh these usami ppl dragging misaki all the time, except for brother usami bc he "loves him" SMH. i mean, hot take i guess, but i don't think papa usami is necessarily bad hes just shit at being good.

oh man i feel like misaki is about to SNAP. OH HERE WE GO! HE IS ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING ISN'T HE?! HE'S ALWAYS LIKE THIS. Angry dude and snapping on these idiot usami's alsdjflf

Misaki: I AM NOT TOYING WITH USAGI. I LOVE HIM. Papa Usami: And how do you plan to be good enough for my son? Misaki: I DON'T KNOW MFR BUT I AM WORKING ON IT. DAMN.

adlibbing, but that is the jist of the problem, right there.

oh goodness not usagi saying his love with misaki and from misaki changed how he saw the world.

OH I REMEMBER THIS SCENE. THE HOT SPRINGS. CUE THE MUSIC. CUE THE KISS. CUE THE SOFT WORDS.

oh yeah this scene is really just so sweet guys. like. okay, we get a look into misaki and seeing how is opening up to akihiko. he's all, in his thoughts: these conversations happen, we're together, we are intimate more, we spend out time togehter, i feel okay when usagi says to feel okay (implying that he has opened up to usagi in ways he hadn't been doing. that misaki is truly falling for usagi. like it's not the whole: "i love you/i don't love you" take anymore.) but then it's like reality does hit him (and maybe it should) that he and akihiko are so different, they're from two different worlds and after he thinks all those things he says: i am almost tricked into believing him.

I think what we can take away from this is that Misaki has very real concerns about the reality of their relationship. In a way that, maybe because Usagi is older, he doesn't... It really seems, a lot of the time, that the world is very black and white to Usagi. It's a "i want it, i get it" type of world, because it's always been that way and maybe that is why he fell so hard for misaki because misaki gave him a different look at the way the world really is.

And here we see Usagi, ONCE AGAIN, begging and pleading and praying with Misaki.

Usagi: Fall in love with me, love me 10x and 20x more than you love me now and become unable to part with me. That's all you have to do. I'll protect you from everyone else in this world, without fail.

It's just... I feel bad for Usagi, and I hate to be this person but I understand where Papa Usami is coming from. We want our children to have everything and love and happiness and all the world can have but we also don't want to hold them back from whatever they want as well. It's a fine line. I think there is just a lot at play in the whole thing.

okay okay im done. hot take over.

[aprillikesthings]

YOOOOO IT'S MY WEEKEND and I have eaten dinner and it is time for MORE SHE-RA

yayyyy

OH GOD we're getting into the really good shit btw

if I manage not to do a marathon of these it'll be a gd miracle

Usual reminder: this is a REwatch and there's spoilers ahoy, I make a lot of bad jokes, I reference other cartoons

s4 ep10 fractures

okay before we get started

ahahah

I've given in. I'm gonna cosplay Catra. >_< wish me luck, I'm aiming for some kinda loosely post-canon thing, in part because there's no hiding my age at this point, except via like, photoshop pfft

side note the place I was looking at that makes custom fangs based on dental impressions is usually a month and change out, and the con I want to wear this to is in mid-April. *GROAN*

I have tried the cheap ones they don't stay on D:

OKAY

Dialogue is Double Trouble. Why are you even in the room??

oh it's a truth-telling spell lol

(it didn't work)

LOLOL the disbelief in Double Trouble's voice. "Can she do that?"

oh my GOD (yes it's Double Trouble)

but their Adora looks like Johnny Bravo aaahaha

Double Trouble does blow a raspberry at Shadow Weaver, tho, so they're forgiven

Adora explains the Heart of Etheria Project

Shadow Weaver: oooh we can use this to our advantage Me: okay Boromir but NO

nO

Adora's about to blow a fuse, but I would be, too! Like what part of "the planet could explode" is fucking difficult

Meanwhile, Catra is watching porn video feeds of places the Horde has taken

and thinks she spots someone!!!

(she hasn't, and she makes a sad little face when she realizes)

yeah she's being a bitch but also her deranged little face is great

OR EVERYONE COULD DIE. THERE'S ALSO THAT.

YAYYYY

does anyone else remember the old video "what your fave she-ra ship says about you"? this was made just after s4 actually. anyway I'm remembering it because it includes the line "you just want good things for Scorpia. and really, who wouldn't?"

Daci and I, for a while, couldn't stop quoting the ContraPoints clip used early on to reference "The inherent eroticism of the sea."

"MMmmm yeah. Don't you wanna just...get in there?"

It's a really funny video (I am called out SEVERAL TIMES) and the channel did a bunch of similar videos for other shows.

(also looking at the home page of the channel, she's a she now!!!! HELL YEAH)

Anyway everyone is surprised to see Scorpia :D

And their initial reaction is Not Good D:

the poor thing accidentally stuns Perfuma (...oh god that'S HILARIOUS knowing later stuff)

well that stops Adora in her tracks

back in the Fright Zone, Catra thinks she hears Scorpia's laugh and again is visibly relieved before realizing she's wrong

babygirl you need some rest (and so do your soldiers), you are getting paranoid and hearing things

so what, you're going to torture the rest of the soldiers who haven't left????

(I understand why she does the things she does but I still want to shake some sense into her)

JUST GET SOME GD SLEEP

she tries to call Double Trouble, but they don't answer

I want to give her a hug. But also shake some sense into her.

Another one to add to my "cartoon bondage" collection, as one does. But Perfuma is clearly a little smitten, though: she smiles as she walks away and makes a flower grow in the vines, awwwww

okay oh my GOD okay Scorpia's dialogue is KILLING ME i am CACKLING

"Wow...Yeah, but just-- Shadow Weaver. And at Bright Moon. Everything is making so much sense about why Catra's been acting the way she has."

Adora goes wide-eyed at Catra's name, Shadow Weaver looks at her, and then Adora looks away, pissed off.

like I was saying: SMITTEN

Anyway Scorpia explains why she wants to go find/save Entrapta, who's on Beast Island, and:

bahaha

they relate various stories about the horrors of Beast Island and Shadow Weaver insists they're nicer than the actual place, it's starting to sound like some bad joke about Etheria's version of Australia

I mean also you should go get her because she shouldn't be stuck there but okay

They all decide to go to Beast Island to rescue Entrapta but Glimmer is having NONE of it

Glimmer: "Adora, have you ever heard of anyone coming back from Beast Island? Do you even know where it is?"

I mean, good points, but

aaaugh

Bow: "There's an unstable mass of magic in the middle of the planet. Everyone's at risk unless we can get Entrapta to shut it down."

OKay I'm not typing up the whole damn episode you can read the transcript if you really want to, lol they argue about this for a bit longer, Glimmer even recommends they ask Light Hope how to use it even though that's a terrible idea, Glimmer tries to appeal to Bow but Bow is on Adora's side on this one

oh honey, no

She tries to order Bow and Adora to stay in the castle and not leave

Scorpia's "prison cell" is a very nice spare room. Perfuma brings her a salad and Scorpia doesn't recognize it as food immediately, the poor thing has only ever had ration bars.

Frosta: "It's not a sleepover!!! Perfuma: ":D I'll get pillows, brb!"

But then Frosta asks about her pincers with genuine interest and makes ones for herself out of ice...and Scorpia starts to cry

;_;

;_;

GO. TO. BED. oh my god

I RAN OUT OF IMAGES fhghgh okay gonna reblog

[inke-ri]

OKAY episode 2!! holiday shenanigans and work kept me from watching it till now but here we go!

---

- We got the "you drool when you sleep" (in the wrong spot but still), I can rest easy

- Annabeth just standing around spookily instead of sitting down or feeding Percy nectar / ambrosia is really funny to me

-  about 80% sure they had Percy notice the Minotaur horn right away for time issues, but I really liked the slow build up to Percy accepting it all happened, Grover being patient with him and then sighing and giving him the shoe box with the horn.

- Definitely different from the book, Grover apologizing and all. But it's consistent with what the show did so far.

- Lowkey sad we're not getting a shot of Percy looking out at how beautiful the day/camp is, then down at the horn, then being miserable. Not a huge deal, it was just always a scene that stuck with me as a kid, I was hoping it would be included here. Walker would CRUSH it I know!

- I knew from the trailers that CHB is basically all inside a forest afaik, but it's still weird not to have the Big House overlooking the valley, being able to see everything. Especially since they kept Thalia's pine on a hill.

- Percy's annoyance with mr D is on point but it would hit a lot harder if we had seen Smelly Gabe be a drunkard and Percy somehow realizing Mr D likes to drink too -- his initial defensiveness and dislike for him was rooted in his trauma from his stepdad. It still works cause we know he doesnt like bullies thanks to Nancy, but I miss that

- lmao mr Dr just letting Percy and Grover talk it out

- The fakeout with calling Percy son made me ugly snort but I kinda miss how utterly bored he is in the books

- THAT SAID. the sarcastic tone, dismissive behavior, etc, DO remind me of this version of Gabe, so I do like Percy getting mad at him here!! I retract my earlier statement, it's subtle but if you pay attention you might tie mr D's behavior to Percy's stepdad. Still wish Percy looked more /angry/ about it tho.

- again with the happy/funny music tho, am I supposed to be laughing that Percy's miserable?

- hang on I did not follow the marketing all that much but WHY can NO adaptation get that Chiron's horse half is white lmao, is it an animation thing? I DONT KNOW.

- I do like how they used the wine bottle thing at the end to explain the demigods being able do whatever they want, so between that and getting show!Gabe vibes from mr D I quite like this

- Except for one tiny thing: where's Annabeth?

- Mr D literally said Grover succeeded they are SO CUTTING THE COUNCIL THING I AM SO MAD

-  ohHHHHh okay NEVERMIND we DO have open spaces, this place looks awesome!! Surprisingly similar to how I imagined CHB except I always saw the cabins not being in the forest, just close to it. I do love how they look tho, I can definitely get used to this. Very cozy somehow.

-  I will say this version of Chiron is growing on me after being a little iffy on him in ep 1!

- Luke has a slightly less cool kid, sunny disposition when we meet him but the entire scene at Hermes' cabin was Very Nice! I just miss Annabeth's blushing and stammering around Luke here

- No seriously where is my daughter have you seen her

- Mr D and Chiron playing, presumably, pinochle made me smile. Also the tiger print shirt lol

- hang on HANG ON we have a WHOLE SCENE with the Council of Cloven Elders that has NOTHING to do with Grover's searcher's license?

- I loved the scene with the dryad hinting at Grover being an anxious bean tho, finally some signs of that

- I am? So confused about this. I guess they changed Grover so beyond recognition that they have to give him some unnecessary drama/arc about lying to Percy? Why reveal that Hades has Sally right now - why not let it be a surprise when Percy gets to the Underworld? Why not let Percy agree to the quest, supposedly bc of his father, and later down the line let him confess he's only doing it to try and get Sally back like he does in the book? Why make Grover AND Chiron hide this from him? Unlike everything else, I don't understand the reason for these changes.

- Is... Is it Luke who tells Percy about the nightmares? I could have sworn it was Annabeth - she's definitely the one who talks about the AHDH and dyslexia. WHY are they giving Annabeth's lines to everyone else? I can see this being to show Luke and Percy bonding but at what cost?? WHERE IS SHE.

- ...  We aren't getting the training scene with best-swordsman-in-centuries Luke and the disarming maneuver that's gonna come back in the final fight are we.

- Clarisse sadly does not have the same vibes as the book. Also she looks so much older than Percy? Isnt she just 14?

- Interesting that they're setting up Percy catching the gods' attention - at least his dad's rn. If this doesnt lead into the "I'm impertinent" thing with Medusa's head I'll be sad.

- ps I LOVE that Luke is all about glory to be admired and looked up to, and Percy Does Not Care about it at all lol. Delightful way of showing that!

- Okay the first real laugh this got out of me was Percy being disgusting at archery. What an adorable bean I LOVE him

- I assume that's not Beckendorf but I really wish it was him lmao. Also love Luke looking out for Percy here

- Who IS this kid who keeps hanging around Luke? ... Is it Chris Rodriguez? Oh man pls let it be Chris

- UPDATE I CHECKED THE SUBTITLES (bc I couldnt understand which god's name was that) AND IT IS CHRIS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH FAM

- is he- oh my god the burning of the jellybeans to "pray" to his mom OKAY THIS IS AMAZING 10/10 I WEPT I'm officially adding this to the events of the books when I re-read it -- I hope we get more scenes like this!!

- goddddd its such a CLEVER way of telling the audience that Percy falls in love with this place fast, even tho it hurts that the "friends" he's talking about arent gonna stay around

- Interesting change to not have Percy seek out his Dad's approval so much-- I dont mind it, bc I like how they're leaning into how much he loves Sally -- but I wish they hadn't done *away* with it completely, the way they seem to have. Keep both!

- Idk, this dyslexic, ADHD kid who's always been told he's the problem struggling with believing he was too broken to keep his father around, only to later be told he IS his father's son and that Poseidon is proud of him regardless of what the world would tell him... That felt special to me. I hope the workaround this is to have Annabeth call him out on it as she does later down the book, when he sends Medusa's head to Olympus.

- SUCH a good scene tho

- I dont mind that they did this scene at night but I also liked the visual of Clarisse just being Clarisse and dragging Percy to the bathroom in broad daylight lmao. This flows better with the show's pacing tho

- Okay but like why not let Clarisse try to shove Percy's head in the toilet you know she'd be having a BLAST

- Percy looks more scared than angry, he's lacking the whole "they will NOT put my head in there. they WONT" thing. People keep saying Percy is appropriately angry in the show and I'm like THIS is angry?? You sweet summer children

- awwww no "you're dead, punk, totally dead?"- she just runs? How very un-Clarisse of her. Also, no Annabeth around to say she wants him on her capture the flag team?

- Will I have to start putting up missing person poste- NEVERMIND SHE'S HERE FINALLY LOOK AT HER

- the admission of stalking is HILARIOUS but I wish they kept her intro to earlier in the episode, you miss out on a lot of Annabeth's less "cool" moments like stammering around Luke (and I always loved that Percy was immediately aware of it and she glared at him, it was so indicative of their eventual dynamic), biting her nails/barely looking when Clarisse is bullying Percy and getting all wet with toilet-water but taking it like a champ with the capture the flag comment.

- I wonder if the "litter sister" comment is gonna hold up. Even if Luke never develops feelings for Annabeth eventually (which I would prefer, it always felt forced on his side), Percy's jealousy of him and Annabeth's crush on him are important.

- On one hand: I like they're setting up Luke, Thalia and Annabeth this early on. On the other, much like the Minotaur fight, you miss out on a lot of Percy figuring the puzzle pieces out on his own. He keeps getting exposition dumped on, especially with THIS memory in particular! Considering Rick is writing for this, and I feel his HOO series had a lot of the same issues, it's a bit sad to see that bleed into the original series. There was a lot less nuance in the sequels, and we keep consistently seeing the same here.

- But you DO show-dont-tell the conch horn? HAH :'D

- I REALLY wanted Percy to be wearing armor that was a size too big for him I really did

- nOOOOOOo they're cutting Annabeth's blushing and stammering PLEASE don't get rid of her crush on Luke it's IMPORTANT. Let it be one-sided!!! it's okay!!!

- Like I said earlier - they sanitized Annabeth's less "cool" moments, she feels too in control here. I want to see her be a 12yo!

- I just realized- no hounding him about the Solstice either. Did Mrs Dodds even say anything about "it" being stolen? The buildup to the master bolt's theft was SO good. Now she's just generally interested in him, not actively hunting for her quest. We're TOLD Annabeth is obsessed with her quest but we don't SEE how frazzled she is about it, how much she's seeking it.

- Okay, fine. Distracting me with the little fixing of his armor. It's lowkey working and they BETTER link back to this in BOTL or I WILL scream.

- The cut away to Percy flossing got a snicker out of me, tho my Percy will always and forever be a millenial. Also I can imagine Annabeth's face while she looks away from him peeing in the woods lmao

- Bonus: it shows Percy whistling! It better come back with Blackjack in the future!

- No growling from the hellhound?

- Why is daughter-of-the-god-of-war Clarisse taking her helmet off?

- I miss Percy at least trying to defend himself, taking a beating including from the electric spear, and only then telling them where the flag is. He would NOT volunteer the information right away just bc he's surrounded!

- Did they EXPLAIN why Clarisse thinks Percy is a fraud? I don't get it. Why not just leave it to the good ol' "she's mad he pulled a crazy feat like killing the Minotaur, one-upping her without even knowing", instead of having her doubt that he did it? In the book she was more like "yea right like THIS wimp is a Big Tree kid material, like he actually did it" - which felt more just mean of her than genuinely not believing him

- Also, why have Percy run from them- why not set this at the creek that marks the border between territories? Why have Percy run all the way to the canoe lake? Why do ALL OF THAT and not even show him stepping on the water and getting reinvigorated by it? This also takes away from Annabeth having to spy on him-- she's meant to connect the dots here, it takes away from her too

- I genuinely LOVE that they kept Percy catching Clarisse's spear on the edge of his shield, but the way he breaks it is almost on accident. I'm almost offended, this was a HUGE win for Percy and set up how he used the water to defeat her father later own. The choreography grows to be neat, but at the cost of all that made this fight special. Same with the Minotaur and Mrs Dodds. Is this going to be a pattern??

- For how old Clarisse looked, I love how YOUNG she suddenly looks when she screams-- that was a FANTASTIC bit of acting by whoever has been cast as her.

- The flag did not turn blue I am SO SAD

- More importantly: same with Clarisse not realizing it was all a set up-- they stripped Annabeth of THAT bit of smarts too. In the book she's counting on Clarisse being blinded by her need for revenge, she puts Percy right at the border where she can see him alone, and Annabeth knows he'll distract her enough to let her team win just as it helps her figure it out if Percy's the one. But in the show Percy is tucked away in the middle of nowhere and Clarisse straight up says she doesn't care about winning, which means Annabeth's "killer strategy" that Luke is so confident on actually had nothing to do with him- she was just looking out for her own desire to get a quest. I Do Not Like this change at all.

- I wanted to see Annabeth for so long and yet she feels so distant and aloof here, it's so strange. Annabeth is rational but deeply emotional... This reminds me of what the later series did with her, stripping her of a lot of that so she can be the cool leader of the 7 or whatever (the only exception being HoH really) and I REALLY hope they arent doing the same here.

- OhhhhhHHHhhh no I don't. I DON'T like that she pushes Percy into the lake. Not for the books and not for how the show has been handling Percy's character. I think I'll elaborate it in a different post here but. Yea no. This really bothers me.

- Cant believe I'm gonna say this but the movie did the claiming scene better.

- Also they removed the hellhound like WHERE ARE THE STAKES HERE

- I liked Percy's stammering of "I dont know"- how his instinct is to apologize, but... The changed vibes of the claiming scene... the triumphant music, no bowing, Chiron's speech being changed... This was a "the very foundations of your world have been shaken, AGAIN". Annabeth is not meant to be smiling or in control, she's almost speechless. Even Clarisse is meant to be bowing.

- The music and Annabeth's reaction is treating this as a victory when it's not. It's just profound shock, awe and terror at once. Just by people's reactions, you know what a big deal being a Big Three kid is. This is not it, fam.

- "claimed by poseidon" and 5 words later "son of poseidon" is writing my teacher would dock points out of

- ... the episode doesn't end here? The episode should have ended here.

- They ARE EXPOSITION DUMPING HIM WITH NO BUILD UP I KNEW THEY WOULD DO THIS AND I HATE IT. IM SO MAD WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS RICHARD.

- Percy's speech about Sally is great but is undercut by mr D *actually* yelling at him like? Mr D would never, EVER do that. He doesnt really feel like a god here, he'd just show a tad of his divine power and Percy would shut the heck up. Also, Percy accepts the quest because he brought the wrath of Zeus to camp - to innocent campers, and to innocent mortals. Why is he refusing it here? What are you doing to my son? What kind of BS writing is this???

- Grover is actively disobeying a DIRECT order from his primary god (alongside Pan, who hasnt been mentioned at all). What is going on. Again why are we revealing this now. Why are we exposition dumping AGAIN. Why are we taking PERCY'S motivation and spelling it out IN THE FACE of the camp directors, and rubbing our faces on it like its mud?

- This is blood of olympus level writing I went from the SUCH a high to being fuming. delightful.

- OH MY GOD THEY CUT ANNABETH FROM A SCENE AGAIN. WHAT THE F-CK.

-----

So, I went from genuinely enjoying this episode better even with the changes to being absolutely livid at some of said changes.

Looks like this is gonna be a high highs and low lows kind of story. Well, I'll be back for episode 3 when it releases.

[arsenalgbt]

can i ask you your top 5 arsenal ship? 👀

(love your blog and works btw!)

CAN YOU---OF COURSE YOU CAN ANON, PLEASE, FINALLY LET'S GOURrr

it's so long grab a snack~

1.a. Aaron/Martin like, sorry I coined 'martindale' you saw it you heard it here on my tumblr FIRST. writing martindale? will be there. reading martindale? I will be there. screaming crying at their interactions caught in 4k? will be there. discussing with my fellow martindale believers? I'm in.

blame everything on Aaron mucking about Martin being the el parchio of the squad and my gunnerinnas' tags whenever Aaron says sth about Martin.

and how we all are a bit 👁👄👁 about our captain's behaviour around men 😋😋😋

1.b. Benjamin/Willo. anon I can write an essay........... but long story short, it's cuz they're such opposites!!!! visual wise and personality wise they're sooo chef's kiss.

this ship is just so VIVID in my fucking mind. older, kinda bitchy, secretly funny, definitely slutty, very cool benjamin/scary, menacing aura but looks about 5 y/o when smiling, actually younger, hilarious willo? obsessed!!! 🥰🥰🥰

(also I'll just say it again with my whole chest; I hailed willo as a babie way way before gunnerinnas began gushing about him. it was me and the thirsty twitter men. I did it. I love that now my gunnerinnas have come out supporting the babieliba agenda!!)

2. sakanelli 😭😭😭 ik I'm not too vocal about them but I rly rly rly like them, they're so precious to me hence they're second on my list. two starboys?????? imagine such iconic power couple, giggling, cuddling, nelli improving his English picking up Londoner accent because of his bestie B???---except I can and will only write G rated fics about them. sometimes soon, I hope. I remember one of my moots' tags, something along these lines; "it's so important to me that they both actually like each other" under a sakanelli post AND TRUST ME. oh the possibility. oh the 'started from the bottom now we're here' trope. they're my babies. I read a sakanelli fic on ao3 but it was so sad 😭

3. reiss/either Aaron or Jorginho....... I know. I KNOW IM SO QUIRKYYY CRIES. listen; aaron/reiss size difference? DELISH. jorginho/reiss being opposites (infuriating old man/calm, confused boy toy) PLUS reiss' babygirlism from one (1) video

literally I haven't stopped recycling this gif as my motivation to continue writing sugar daddy jorgi/confused reiss lol

tldr; it's reiss' face tbfh. he's so pretty... like... i CAN'T let such a pretty face go to waste (not writing fics about him lol).

fuck I think that's it?? cuz I like these three equally:

xhakarteta; BUT eye think eye am just a reader. it's so hard to get their characterisations right (for the standard I set for myself lol). thus, I'm afraid/lazy to get my hands on writing actual plot for them 🫡

Aaron/benjamin; again, amazing, time proven, OG friends to lovers trope, etc etc but I'm just a reader for them I guess!!!?????? same excuse with my view regarding xhakarteta. them fics I read??? LOVE THEM. Aaron is soooooooooo whipped, so golden retriever coded. spoiler alert; I'm writing an Aaron/Benjamin/Martin threesome as we speak :O

ZINNY/GABBY OH GOSH!! Zinny is clearly so into gabby but gabby is this sexy workaholic who is never aware of the attention he gets from men (multiple). iktr.

honorary mention, I used to and still have a soft spot for giroud/ramsey. like... goddamn rambo was thirsty... and granit/ramsey as well ngl... OH ALSO; nelli/fabio lmaooo gawd these twinks...

PSA; in my hc, Aaron Ramsdale had a crush on Leno 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OKAY NOW TELL ME YOURS! thank you for reading thanks for liking my works!!!!

[sugalaritae]

to the anon who just messaged me concerning addiction and their own journey, i'm going to answer here bc then i can make my reply under the cut and those who do not want to read don't have to!

first tho, i want to thank you for sharing your story with me.

second, i am not a therapist and i can only speak from my own personal experience, so please understand that it's going to be different for you and that is okay because we're all different people and we all have different triggers for different reasons.

and now, tw: talk of addiction and mental illness under the cut

i hope you're kind to yourself, anon. relapsing/falling off the wagon is a hard thing to acknowledge because our immediate go-to is that we think we're failures, we've failed at the thing we tried to do; except that we're not. we're human beings and we all fall sometimes. (gonna acknowledge that i might sound super cheesy lol)

i have been tempted so fucking often. that's the thing about addiction is that it never goes away. it's there permanently and we can't pretend it's not! some days it's at the back of your head and some days it feels like it's permanently behind you and then some days it hits you when the sky is blue and everything in your life is amazing and suddenly you WANT.

addiction, for me, is a mask. i didn't want to face the things i needed to face inside myself. so much hurt, hatred, trauma wrapped up in this tender body of mine and i didn't want to look at it. i hated myself and so i drank. i drank because i thought people liked me more when i was drinking, because i thought i liked myself better when i was tipsy or drunk. even though, i hated myself more. i always hated myself more when i was drinking.

getting sober meant i had to face all of those things. all the dirty and sad parts of myself that i was too scared to face.

i would suggest you seek therapy. talk to someone who specializes in addiction. who is trained and will be there for you. find people around you who also struggle with addiction, whether this is N.A. or individual people, talking to people who know what it's like helps. i cannot emphasize that enough. the world ignores those with addictions and having a community around you who loves and supports you is so very fucking important.

what keeps me sober is the knowledge that i am loveable. all of me. those parts of me i hated and didn't want to face are now parts that i look on with love. i have worked hard with several therapists over the years to understand where they come from, where the trauma resides in my life and now sits in my body.

this is for you. this is a love that needs to come from you.

and it's hard, just like any other love.

again, i am not a therapist. i am speaking from my experience and it may be different for you and that's okay.

[may-bonne]

Lmao I'd never give you a virus I prommy 👉👈 I found that site through another tumblr post ages ago

I'm gonna wait until I finish Bloodrayne to send another long anon with all my thoughts 🫀 But I will say that I want to put Katarin and Holga Kilgore in a room together. Have you ever seen either of the Machete movies? They're both dumb fun. The first is way better than the sequel imo though

SOMEBODY should have ripped that fake mustache off. Thinking about that one interview where Mrod talks about how bizarre filming that sex scene was for her. She says something like "Frank has a very different idea of that than I do" lol. Since that was definitely the first time he got laid without coughing up hit money first, I doubt he knew that you don't want a girl looking at you like that before you fuck

I'm hard pressed to think of a single decision made by any character that makes sense. By the end of the movie, it feels almost pointless? Nothing really changed. Frank came away with a dog and gender dysphoria. He shot a bunch of dudes like he always does. Got the revenge. But there should have been forgiveness for Johnnie. He couldn't bring himself to shoot her and for a cold blooded assassin, it feels like that should have gone somewhere more significant than just sending her away

"Buddies" activated the dog part of Frank's brain. He's like a sad street dog that got out of a shelter and won't let people approach him

Idk anything about writing a screenplay either so you won't hear any complaints from me. It sucks that the only other person I've seen that likes The Assignment doesn't have anon turned on. I found your blog through theirs though so can't complain

i want to watch machete!! resident evil is the next thing on my list but then i def will. i gotta finish season 2 of lost, too. i kind of go back and forth between mrod and jordana brewster and i'm really swinging back towards mitchie right now lol

in the interviews i read she said that to get into character she went on tinder as a man and i would fucking love to see what that profile looked like. (also this just occurred to me but i feel like frank should definitely be jerking off in the shower pre-op. i'm gonna go add that in right now)

frank has major runt-of-the-litter energy. i saw a post on here the other day that was like "he's got that abandoned shelter dog rizz. he looks like he wants to sit quietly beside you on the couch while you watch tv" and immediately thought of this pic:

very much frank's vibe. i want to towel him dry and pinch his nose until he stops trying to spit out his estradiol

mrod plays all these tough chicks and then i am immediately seized with visions of them rain-soaked and shivering with sweet little kitty ears. holga is the lone exception and i think it's because she's the only one of them who doesn't seem like she's on the verge of a massive sexuality crisis. i guess katarin's would be more along the lines of "my people need me! i can't fuck this vampire!" i would love to see her talk to holga. my personal dream is a d.e.b.s. sequel where mrod plays some kind of european villain doing that exact same accent. or she could just be a jersey mobster. i'm not picky

while we're exchanging mrod media i feel compelled to share this spoken word piece she posted on tumblr in 2014 because i feel everybody should know about it

this reply is already too long but whatevs i'm going to ramble about the rewrite now. i wrote dr. jane's big villain monologue yesterday and it was fun as hell. i've changed her motivation for doing the surgery on frank to wanting to prove that she was such an incredible surgeon that she could create an altered body so perfect it would triumph over the mind and he would eventually come to see himself as a woman. but she tells dr. galen she failed because frank was never a man in the first place insofar as he never formed any sense of self beyond being a killer so it was like trying to perform surgery on a gun. meanwhile we see frank slowly starting to realize other people have lives by clumsily expressing sympathy for prostitutes etc. i also had johnnie give him some ace bandages after watching him almost take his nips off with tape 'cause good lord. in the last scene he's in a sports bra. character development!!

i cut all the shakespeare and poe and just have her quoting the hippocratic corpus and stuff. i was talking to myself in the shower yesterday (in my dreams i am invited to appear on national television to share my opinions on mrod movies while america watches raptly) and had more thoughts about the literary allusions but i'll save those for later

also if you're talking about who i think you are, her mainblog is missin-you-already and she has anon on there! i haven't talked to her that much about the assignment, though, so i dunno if she has thoughts. although it's hard to imagine anyone wouldn't
