#what the frick julia

[randumbness23-blog]

Alright Hi so im new to this whole reading books thing but what the frick man. I thought everything was lining up to be fine and complete. And then somehow every single decision that was made from that point forward made life so much worse. Idk how people can just read so often and just become used to being thrown around this emotional roller coaster with absolutely no cares in the world. Is this why so many readers are depressed? Do you just develop the ability to not feel things!?

I will forever be mad that there is not and likely never will be a TV series adaption of Children of the Red King, because IMAGINE THE FANDOM WE COULD HAVE!

- people who'd make fan theories and try to figure out what happened to Lyell

- people simping for Paton Yewbeam and shipping him and Julia so FRICKING much

- people hypothecizing what endowment they'd have and making UQuizzes

- video essays analyzing characters like Manfred and Asa and Dagbert and decyphering if they truly are "bad guys"

- people making edits of literally ALL the characters

- THE COSPLAYS

- THE FANFICS

- book readers trying not to spoil, but constantly looking for easter eggs in the show

- people who start reading the books after season 1 and are like "wow we're in for a wild ride!"

WE WERE FUCKING ROBBED!!!

shipping questions // accepting // @juanalmada1234 asked . . . shipping questions: 1, 18, 20, 22 and 28

1. what’s the best thing about shipping for you?

It's hard to say! There are so many great things about shipping! But I think it may just be delving deep into the characters' feelings. Often, people may behave differently toward those they are in love with. I feel that in ships, you can view a side of a character that isn't often seen. Like Jin may be more affectionate and more willing to make physical contact with a lover than he will with a friend. They may know stuff about each other than nobody else does. And we get to see just how far the characters will go for their lovers. I just think it's a great opportunity to flesh out two characters.

It's also interesting for Devil, because he used to be somebody who couldn't really love anyone. So, it's a new experience for him!

18. is there a ship you used to like, but not anymore?

I'm trying to think but... I don't think there really is? Usually it's rare for me to start disliking a ship I've enjoyed. I guess the closest thing to this would be that I used to consider the idea of Jin & Julia (they have stuff in common!) But I pushed that aside in favor for Jun & Michelle. Dunno why! But I just prefer the moms together lol

20. is there a ship you wanted to play, but couldn’t yet?

EEEEEYAHHHH!! As I said, I do have a soft spot for the Jin & Alisa ship, so I would not mind trying that one out!!! I also have a super secret soft spot for the Jin & Miguel ship! Y'know, it's not as toxic in MY portrayal 'cos Jin isn't actually responsible for the sister's death. But y'know, the guy who did get her killed still exists within him... so that would make things AWKWARD. Anyway, I like the Jin & Miguel ship just because it seems Jin has a thing for the hot-headed aggressive guys. And well... also just look at how TALL and HANDSOME he is! I thiiiiink those are the only ships I haven't really gotten to play yet? I'll probs get to play 'em eventually, tho! Frick, it took over a year for me to get a Xiao & Hwoarang to ship with!

22. is there any ship you will likely never play? (apart from the obvious in/cest, pe/dophilia etc, i want to believe you guys are Good)

Hmm. I think I'm pretty lenient on who I ship Jin with - like I'm VERY easygoing when it comes to writing ships! Hell, somebody could be like "do you wanna ship?" and I'll be like "SURE!" But I do have some dealbreakers, or more so, Jin has some dealbreakers. Like for example, I don't mind the Nina & Jin ship (I don't ship it but it's not something I dislike) but... I just don't see Jin dating an assassin. I see him dating a former assassin who now wants to make amends. But he's not going to date somebody who's still actively hurting or killing people. So like, that means Anna is also off the plate! I also don't see Jin with Marduk or Ganryu either luls. And obviously, Jin would never date Ogre for obvious reasons lol. He wouldn't date Azazel either. But honestly, I don't think those two are capable of romance.

Devil, on the other hand - I feel like there would be a lot more ships I'd be willing to do with him, but it also depends on the timeline. I'd joke that pre-purified Devil would go after Ogre, and he may! But Jin's hatred for Ogre is too strong, and thus, it influences Devil to be furious with Ogre. Devil, would however, go after Marduk - purified and not purified unfortunately. Like Jin though, he wouldn't be interested in Ganryu.

28. would you play a “bitter exes” relationship?

The funny thing is that out of all the years I've been RPing (11 years now...) I have never written a breakup with mine & my partner's muses, I've never written exes before. Isn't that weird? I always thought I'd get breakup threads 'cos I happen to frequently write problematic muses. (Like Devil - villains. Or if not villains, then morally gray / anti-heroes) Yet... nothing ever happens! The only time I wrote a breakup was in private discord RPs (back when I used to do those) and they got back together anyway lol.

But I wouldn't mind doing a bitter exes relationship! Though... I'm not sure how bitter Jin would be. I think Jin would only be very bitter if the relationship ended due to betrayal. But I'm not so sure 'cos I never had the opportunity!

Devil, on the other hand, would be a very bitter ex no matter how the relationship ended. Just because Devil, even after purification, is a jealous and possessive man. He may not be as aggressive about it as he once was, but he still feels those two emotions, and he still has to cope with them.

okay firstly, i absolutely adore how determined Skye is to protect Julia, like from her mom and whoever else, that's absolutely fricking adorable

also secondly: can you elaborate a little on the part where julia can't take Willow and Kris to her own world, but only Skye? Is it because she's too shy around skye's friends or she literally physically can't? -or is it because it's special to her and Skye only and that's like their special hideout? Lol sorry to ask so many questions, I'm just genuinely so interested 😂🤣

no worries, i will gladly explain my thoughts!! im just glad this story struck a chord w someone skdndkdn feel free to ask as many questions u want!

so it’s kind of a mix between the last two- she physically can’t, and also because it’s special for only the two of them. it takes a lot of julia’s power to pull someone into the darkness to begin with, but the more you do it, the easier it gets (but still requires her personal energy no matter what). so pulling two new people in along with Skye would take a shit ton of power, but quite frankly, she likes having her own personal space for her and skye to enjoy with no one else to bother them. she’d rather stick to the slumber parties bc it’s easier for her to just show up and enjoy!

i hope this helped!!

td 2023 s2 ep1 spoilers below the cut

(okay so I have not finished s1 but I know the general gist of what happens through mutuals posts and just the td tag lmaoo. maybe later I will actually sit down and watch the whole thing, but that time is not now.)

moving onto my thoughts of s2...

AHHHHHHHH idk how else to explain it but I absolutely LOVED the episode, and honestly I have a feeling I'll love this season, simply bc everyone is so great!!

heck even ripper and chase were tolerable, like, there weren't any fart jokes or anything, it was great!

MKULIA SWEEP???? HELL FREAKING YEAH idc if it's a friendship/alliance, I'm living in my world where they're toxic yuri

Caleb getting some much-needed character development??? I'm SO here for it, and the stuff mentioned during the episode def fits the kinda vibe I have going for him, so that's even better!! (potential caleb & emma friendship??? they can bond over kittens and of caleb being emotionally mature)

also his reactions to the team choosing was gold, I can't wait to see what A-Game he's gonna bring. I'm hoping he doesn't become a version of justin--I just want him to want to be a useful teammate and person for his team/friends/competitors and want to win as well. no overly crazy 'tda justin' villanry pls?? (I mean, I won't be averse to it if it does end up happening, but it'd be cool if things changed up this time around)

CHEMMA BROKE UP THANK FRICKING GOD, our prayers have been answered!! please please PLEASE have them stay broken up

raj & wayne on the same team again!! I was not expecting that tbh, but I'm curious to see where this goes

rajbow is so adorable, like bowie not even letting chris finish before he immediately picks raj first for his team is so 🥹

ngl chase is still a dumbass but now that chemma is out of the way, I mean it affectionately, I can't bring myself to hate any of the characters and that trend isn't going to stop here. that moment when he ran at granny hatchet and bowie was like "I don't believe it, I think he's gonna make it" like that scene was insane

damien is amazing as always, no words need to be said. manifesting a final two involving him

NICHELLE. FUCKING NICHELLE. GOD I CANNOT ARTICULATE HOW MUCH I ADORE HER HERE!! saving the best for last goddammit, I love her so so so so much, omfg the way she slayed the challenge, pls I'm so hyped for her character development this season, I can't wait for the other contestants to eat their words abt her

axel trying to 'be nice' ("i'm a work in progress" yes you are but you're doing amazing) but acting like an ass to ripper is something I live for. "I'm not following you, we're running in the same direction!" LMAOOOO

the fact that priya doesn't hold any resentment toward her parents still irks me, but I still love her character and I'm excited to see what's in store for her

GRANNY HATCHET SLAYED, 'NUFF SAID

I'm still hoping for some axelle content, but I'm more than happy with the mkulia servings we got

I'm lowkey interested in scary girl's change of character. I feel like this wont be the last we see of her--will she be like an amy and swim back to the island to enact revenge? or will she be like ezekiel and live on the island in secret? or will she be a secret third thing? I sure as heck don't know but I can't wait to find out!! her parting words def seem ominous enough to imply something

speaking of, scary girl's change of character and when she talked abt how she became "normal" everyone's reactions were sending me lmaooo

bowie going "you're never right" to chase but is the one to choose chase on his team, like yes dude frrr that frenemy whiplash was wack lmaoo I love it

same with bowie choosing julia, like yes we love to see two manipulative competitive strategists banding together

on a different note, I wonder what will come of bowie and emma's friendship from s1 and how that broke apart. maybe they could rekindle it in s2? hmmm

zee and their suitcase of sodas 😭

"she's an animal" OKAY MK TONE IT DOWN (pls don't, actually pls continue doing it) YOU'RE NOT HELPING MY MKULIA CASE HERE

millie being priya's first pick >>>

"what strategy? you just stop and run, it's not rocket surgery" 😭 I used to dislike ripper, but if he continues on like this, that opinion will def change. it's only been the first episode and I already don't dislike him anymore so-

MORE MKULIA P L E A S E IM HOPING

chris is still 'tdi chris' aka the b e s t chris imo, and I'm here for it!! also chef and chris's dynamic is still spot-on

in conclusion, im so very excited for what this season will bring!! in case you didn't realize, I LOVED the first episode!

Today I woke up, had cleared all my work the night before. Took care of the dog, checked digital usuals, so went to the movies. Dude tried to refuse my moviepass, but I am not one to be clowned upon. Like why are you mad I don't use AMC stubs, guy, what's it to ya lmao. I watched You Hurt My Feelings with Julia Louis Dreyfus. She was primo, it was prickly, powerful. I picked it because it was 90 mins, but didn't know it was A24 til it started. They don't miss, like HBO and FX. Recently pirated The Whale. Saw Beef too of course. That's like the first time I've felt seen, deeply, in the contemporary media. But my old pastor Danny told me the fable of Beef long before, his road rage incident just outside of Rio, where the theater is. So I've known what it is for some time. (Before I left the boardwalk I bought a coral-ocean resin slate, it was nostalgic). Before he showed me it was shameful, ma and dad have static too. I forgot that curse for a good year and a half. But leading up to the broken foot I was hitting this ceiling with Wella, and I was getting hard. So I think a lot about how well-situated the injury ended up being. We went from like five miles a day to less than one so it's been tough, but she's adjusted so beautifully. She's such a fucking friend. A month before moving, we are resuming regular routines, and we both are just a touch more in control, in ways nobody else would notice. If I ever say I'm blessed what I mean is I'm the luckiest, because I didn't deserve this home, this job, this dog. Every day I wake up with this fool and we get shit done, eat good, sleep good. I feel better in the head than just about ever, barring two years. I've learned to love what I do even when it's small. I know things are gonna frick again soon. We already packed

[paigemathews]

Okay, so I finished episode eight (Bug a Boo) and thoughts (actually tracked through the episode this time):

my sister said that Jada gives off Bianca energy and I vibe with it. she also is questioning my sexuality bc I said Jada was hot, which. mostly bc I wanna look like her tbh, one of my ideal style categories is "witch" sooo. But also Jada really is just cool as hell, I like her.

this whole dating app plot would be great for a Cupid girl, tbh. Like there are a couple of plot points or episodes that'd been great for a next gen kid, but I think that one of the Cupid-witches getting a plot with a dating app would be really cute.

Maggie and Parker have been dating for like. five minutes. why the fuck are they talking about spending the summer together?? y'all don't even know if you'll still be together, what the fuck

Hunter sticking up for Parker thoooo. I'll be honest, demon bros relationship is actually really adorable and funny. It's definitely a highlight of the episode.

Why are they two different kinds of demon though?? Hunter is a shapeshifter and Parker is a shadow demon, like. Their dad doesn't seem to be either kind either, how do demonic genetics work

👀 okay but Julia and Macy's relationships possibly paralleling Elise and Phoebe's relationship in the original? Older female boss takes on a slightly more maternal role to the witch who never had her mom?

Their powers are already really fricking strong, idk how they're supposed to advance when it seems so easy for them already

The argument between Charity and Mel about helping in mortal affairs seems very similar to the discussion Paige and Henry had in s8 of the original, but uhhh Mel is dumb (shocker) and fundamentally misunderstands what the Elders and the S'Arcana told her. No one told her to just stand by and do nothing when bad things are happening right in front of her, even using her magic to do it. (I mean, the original sisters never just let bad things happen in front of them bc they didn't want to use their powers.) The difference is that the S'Arcana want to go out of their way to aid in mortal affairs that aren't directly happening in front of them, aka a proactive and direct role, while the Elders want to stick to magical affairs. Mel manages to fundamentally misunderstand both groups, bc she is dumb.

Oh, God, I hate that bug demon, it's fucking horrifying.

Why are all of the Elders dressed in white? (I get the no faces thing, but uhhh, that definitely hits nightmare fuel for me.) It's kinda. on the nose, man, bc at least the og Elders were all wearing the same type of robes so it was more of a uniform. This just feels cultish.

Why does Macy like Galvin? Babe, you can do so much better, this man is boring af.

lmao, Mel got smacked with a board bc she just. wandered in like a dumbass

lmao, Galvin just got fucking hit by a car, I hate this miscommunication trope but it's kinda funny bc of how random it is. (Also shoutout to my original note being that he got hit by a cat.)

2021 Santa Claus Cup Entry #10

Side Note: In the K&C the Azerbaijan flag and the Georgia flag are missing?! Unless I’m wrong. I thought the flags were supposed to be a representative of all the countries that have skaters competing.

Junior Women free program

Anna Schmidt(GEO)

Thoughts: I’ve only seen her twice. It’s still very early in evaluation.

Manca Krmlej(SLO)

Thoughts: the finishing pose felt too jarring. But I liked what the back of the dress did for her shoulders.

Julia Lovrencic

Thoughts: she’s so small. I forgot how small she is.

Maria Seniuk(ISR)

Thoughts:  this is only the second time I’ve seen her. But when they are done right, yellow dresses are so fricking amazing.

[fernderm]

I really wanna see what Julia looks like in the Eleventh Hour graphic novel or if she even appears but frick I need to wait for another box set.

I absolutely loved Smiley. I have a few reservations, but generally: yay.

(More on this; spoilers ensue.

I desperately want a sequel now in which Ramon and Ibra get together because they’re both very lovely, esp. Ibra who is an angel, and they both deserved much better. They can have Pokemon dates. :D

I so so so wanted Vero and Patri to work it out and aaaaaaah my heart hurts.

I adored Alex and I’m delighted for his happy ending but I still have a few reservations about Bruno. Alex treated Ibra poorly but at least he genuinely fond of him; it was an error of self-knowledge. Bruno clearly never actually *liked* Ramon that much and just OUCH. Worried he’s still holding on to that snobbery. Bruno you had better treat so much Alex better omg.

I loved that while it was overall focused on romance, there were so many other kinds of love around, and that both Alex and Bruno showed up best when in non-romantic situations (and that for each of them, that became part of the attraction of the other). Alex is a wonderful friend and (especially) son, deeply kind and warm. Bruno is a dedicated friend and uncle and dog-dad. The complicated friendship between Rosa and Ramiro was so moving and made my heart hurt, and Rosa being just the best (if occasionally most over-enthusiastic) mum to Alex was so lovely. The father-daughter-ish relationship between Javier and Vero was the fricking *best*. Patri’s parents made me so happy.

Julia’s letter to the Three Wise Men was just... so damn on point. The overall “why can’t adults say what they mean” thing applied throughout all of the adult characters. Wise and excellent kid; I’m glad she got her skateboard. :D

I’m glad that Albert grew so much and that he and Nuria worked it out, but ooof I wish that he had apologised more thoroughly for his microaggressions towards Nabat. If there’s a sequel there needs to be more of her, and more of her having her own story, rather than just doing childcare and putting up with nonsense.

Javier is an angel and I adore him. <3 <3 <3

I’m not a huge city fan generally but Barcelona is *gorgeous*.

Overall? Flawed but superb. Controversial opinion but I found this everything that “Love Actually” tried to be but actually wasn’t. And so beautifully, blessedly queer. <3
