Yearly shout out to homophobic shaphne anon from a while back, I wonder what they are up to now

[omegawolverine]

Plesse tell me about queerness in the get down!!

okay okay queerness in the get down let's fuckn goooo

disclaimer: I havent watched this show in full for like 5 months at least, probably gonna get something wrong and/or forget some more important bits. also this wasnt proof read I just word vomited

tws: period typical homophobia, abuse mention, f slur use, bury your gays trope, overdose mention, mention of a creepy possible age gap (the age gap hasnt been confirmed so that's why its possible), cops

going from least to most prominent queer characters, let's start with mylene cruz!

so, from the beginning of this show she has an established romantic relationship with ezekiel (although the status of their actual relationship changes frequently throughout the show) and though this was a relationship she was hesitant to pursue, it is clear that she does have romantic feelings for him and if not for them both having growing careers in very different music genres (zeke specifically working in a genre that she repeatedly labels as bad because she thinks they're ruining records + that it isnt real music because they're using someone elses piece and rapping over it, that's not really important here tho lol) they probably wouldve had a much healthier, smooth sailing romance. that being said theres a few things that happen in the show that, while not explicitly clear, or even really good coding at that—to the point where you wont catch if you really arent looking for it (and trust me, I always look for coding, hers was just so little that it flew over my head until I saw someone else mention it)—are still cool to think about!

so, for starters, I wanna mention the toy box performance, which was performed by mylene and regina, who are best friends. that's all cool and shit, and you dont really think much about it...until you hear about the fact that the show runners purposely colored a lot of the scenes in that performance with the bi colors. like. the writers after the show ended basically said "oh yeah there was plans to make her coding more explicit, but our shit got cancelled soooo" and then dropped the fact that she was gonna be bi (or at least implies bi) in the series, which puts a new twist on a few things.

now, besides the bi coloring in the background of the toy box performance (which was mostly on scenes with her and regina, which involved a lot of uh,, lowkey lewd dancing. with each other. in very revealing outfits. wooooo), there's her music! I dont tend to read too much into this one bc, like I said before, her coding is fucking light and the writers themselves said they didnt really get to do much with it, but I think some stuff with her music is interesting. specifically how her, yolanda and regina's song set me free blew up because dizzee, resident (lowkey enby coded) bicon, got their song played in a queer club. also that the song was majorly important to dizzee and started playing literally right as he kissed a boy for the first time and realized "oh shit I like boys that's bonkers". also that the song can be taken in a gay way since literally the entire thing is about becoming your true self, fully and unapologetically, which is what both dizzee and mylene's entire character arcs are about. dizzee (and a lot of other queer people, apparently), heard this song about being set free and it resonated with them so much that they got that shit most of its popularity.

speaking of dizzee and mylene, they parallel each other a lot in the way that their arcs are about them realizing who they are, coming into themselves and no longer just letting people treat them like shit in a sense (dizzee starting to tell people essentially that they can call him weird all they want, they can make fun of how he acts, what he likes, how he dresses, etc. but he likes how he is and quite literally saying "it's okay to be an alien" as he has consistently compared himself to one throughout the show vs mylene learning that if she wants to be a disco singer she needs to put her foot down, not let anyone, not even the love of her life, not even her abusive father, stop her from achieving her dreams, etc. and continuing to pursue her career with or without their support). one more little parallel that I think is interesting is during I think s2 towards the end of the show is when dizzee and thor are shown together having fun with each other, painting all over the building and each other and are basically just being happy and in love together and then they have these clips of them being interspersed with clips of mylene at a party where she is starting to realize that if she wants to get anywhere she needs to be her own main priority and that she needs to put her career and her dream, which is what makes her the happiest, above all else if she wants to succeed. idk I just think how the show made these two into a weird parallel, accidental or not, is neat. maybe not an explicitly queer parallel, but I think at least how her music and whatnot helped dizzee, the main queer character in this show, blossom, is important.

moving on we got shaolin fantastic also known as "oh no your internalized homophobia is showing-"

so, heres a quick list of...interesting shao facts:

Consistently referred to as fag/faggot (shaolin fanfaggot is my personal favorite); he gets really defensive about this despite nobody actually thinking he's queer, it's just people being assholes to be assholes, and he is the only character consistently referred to using a slur, especially a homophobic one, especially for a "straight" character. dizzee, a canonically queer character, is called a fag less than shaolin is even though dizzee actively goes to gay clubs, has a not so secret dude he "hangs out with" and wont let anyone properly meet, paints his nails, wears less than straight clothes even by the 70s standards and is just all around the definition of fucking queer (and I mean like in the weird way, not the gay way). in fact theres only like once I can remember him being called a fag and it had nothing to do with him actually being gay it was literally just like thrown out there the same way you would call someone a bitch.

Has only shown sexual interest in women, yet refuses to have deeper relationships with women in general (possibly because of trauma but who knows) but takes his relationships with his "brothers", specifically zeke, very seriously

Tells zeke and zeke ONLY his real name when zeke was planning to stop being his friend bc shao more or less got boo boo, a like 14 year old black kid, arrested for selling hard drugs; he was clearly scared and trying to do anything to keep zeke around, literally chasing him down the street and hounding him until he got zeke to stop and argue with him

Kept threatening to beat up zeke in the end but couldn't actually bring himself to do so, instead saying that zeke is "fucking lucky" before walking away

Let's zeke get away with things that nobody else can, in general just has a weird soft spot for ezekiel that he shows with nobody else

when shao found dizzee with thor in a vaguely compromising situation (like they were just shirtless covered in paint sleeping next to each other but shao had also seen everything they painted on the walls ((which some of it was sus)), it was clear they had painted on each others bodies and dizzee had been routinely disappearing with this guy for weeks now yet not producing nearly as much art, at least, as far as we audience members know) he didnt judge him but instead, waited for him to get cleaned up and then told him something along the lines of "theres a reason why im so secretive blah blah blah [not everyone needs to know everything about me]", which, in context, kinda implies that he might be a lil. a lil homiesexual. jus a lil.

whenever even the possibility of zeke leaving him comes up he absolutely loses it. he has literally cost ezekiel life changing opportunities because he thought zeke would just up and leave him for them. this could be abandonment issues bc he's a severely traumatized character, and that probably does contribute to it, but it also is just not a reaction he has to any of their other friends just randomly dipping in and out of his life soooooo

generally speaking, this mfer has got either bisexual with a big hard on for zeke coding or homosexual with terrible internalized homophobia and still a hard on for zeke coding. either fucking way, that nigga gay. he gay as hell. gay as fuck man. there wasn't really much to analyze here tbh bc the coding is just so fucking obvious if you look for it or you are/have been a gay person who's dealt with at least a little bit of internalized homophobia.

also, just a sidenote, idk how fucking old shao, but I'm praying hes like at max 19 bc I'm pretty sure zeke is a minor in this show and shao definetly is not so the whole him being heavily implied to have a crush on ezekiel thing is kinda. oof. not oof if zeke is like 17 but any younger than that? OOF.

edit: apparently the characters are only supposed to be a year apart in age but i had no clue about that before writing this post and since shaos age was never actually stated in the show i naturally assumed he was an adult since his actor Looks Like An Adult. this is definetly on me to a certain extent, but i also never saw anything about this when trying to find our their ages so 🤷‍♀️ maybe i just didnt look deep enough, sorry!

now moving on to the main event...marcus dizzee kipling :]

so, first things first, let's talk enby coding bc him being bisexual was already confirmed!

um, to start off, I just wanna say I dont think this enby coding was intentional or even really coding, it's just moreso me being a dizzee kin on main and knowing as a transmasc enby he has very transmasc enby vibes. for example:

cool, gender neutral nickname that everyone calls him

paints nails various different colors

the whole wardrobe is just a transmasc enby heaven...fishnet shirts, jean overalls, jackets and cuffed pants galore, the big colorful pins, etc

gender neutral hairstyle (when I had my fro it was very sexy and made it easy to transition between hyper masc and vaguely fem, which is pog)

comparing himself to/representing himself consistently with an alien character (though this is meant to represent his sexuality, it could also double as a gender thing too, not neccesarily bc of the whole nonbinary alien trope but bc an enby who likes aliens might heavily identify or compare themselves to whatever their idea of an alien is, whether that just be a genderless entity or a motherfucker with fly style and no need to be perceived as anything other Wacky As Hell)

moving on from there, let's talk about how his queerness is presented to us and how, while it may be a really good piece of representation, especially coming from netflix, it still lacks in A Lot of places.

so, let's start with good things!

i personally really like the get down's queer rep with dizzee bc it's (for the most part) nonsexualized and very very soft, about dizzee figuring himself out and realizing there is a place where he fits in, and about two teenagers in the 70s falling in love over their shared passion for street art. it also features an interracial couple where both boys challenge stereotypes both about queer men and men of color, which is epic poggers and very sexy. this piece of rep specifically is very important to me bc I am a queer black person and even tho interracial relationships are mostly normalized now, I've still had people give me shit for primarily dating white people in a town that is...primarily white lol

mm anyways, I can also appreciate how in the get down, dizzee being represented by rumi the alien is not a thing specifically related to gender (as it often is) and instead is about his sexuality and just in general weirdness and how it has led to him being alienated amongst his peers, poc or otherwise. him seeing himself as an alien is not about just his queerness, which is important, it is about him being a queer black man who talks different, acts different, dresses different and is "soft"—he isnt a walking black male stereotype and he wouldnt have been seen as masculine back in the 70s by any stretch of the imagination. this can be relatable to a wide spectrum of queer poc, from queer black men currently who still have to deal with this shit or to people like myself who are afab neurodivergent mixed race enbies that have always been signaled out as weird and alienated for it. dizzee is god rep bc while he has a small part in this show, his parts are very impactful, hard hitting and show queer poc of all ages that they arent alone and that it's okay to "weird", you just need to embrace it because somebody will love you for you, as thor did for dizzee.

that being said theres um. some minor problemas here,,,

namely:

dizzee and thors first kiss

the lack of development this pairing got

the way dizzee was confirmed bisexual off screen, he never said the words himself, just showed interest in both genders

the way dizzee and thor were never even confirmed boyfriends or just fwb so most of the fandom just calls them boyfriends bc Why Not

dizzee was implied fucking DEAD??? AT THE END OF THE SERIES?????? AND THOR WAS IMPLIED ARRESTED?????????????

now, these might have been things that wouldve been fine had the show been given it's full run but it wasnt which is why we are now left with probelms.

so, from the top, let's go over these: dizzee and thor's first (and only "on screen") kiss was one that was shown in a montage of other queer people making over and doing other vaguely romantic/sexual things, one of those things being a whole ass naked titty being mouthed at, but the actual kiss...was just not shown? like they really did just say "yes they kissed <3 you know this from the context clues of it being in a montage with kissing, hickey giving and titty sucking <3 but no we will not show it <3" LIKE HELLO? I SAW A NAKED BOOBIE BUT NOT TWO MEN KISS??? HUH????????

also, dizzee and thor were both fucking high as hell during this bit like this isnt a terrible thing but it's also like sometimes you do shit when you're high that you wouldnt do sober and they just never kissed again on screen so like?? like idk that's not that bad but it does kinda irk me since they deadass got no other on screen intimacy after that unless you including painting on eacher other or sleeping next to each other on a shitty mattress but not touching at all during it bc they were both at opposite ends of the mattress like half way off it

so yeah, that was trash. then we got lack of development, which kinda goes with the "dizzee being a bisexual but he never says it in canon" thing cause like...okay dizzee was already sort of a side character from the get go like he wasnt the mc by any means, but he became way more of a background character as things continued until we basically only saw him for performances or when he was with thor, yet they got no fucking development as a pairing other than "dizzee realize he gay, he like thor, he and thor spend time together and ig probably do some gay stuff but we dont really know bc we only ever see them do graffiti together now" like?? tf am I supposed to do with that shit. answer. quickly. and then theres dizzee not being confirmed bisexual, which is just a running problem with shows literally doing everything to say a character is bi except for having the character just...say they're bi? which would be so easy? like a good way dizzee and thor couldve had some development is by thor teaching dizzee things about the queer community that he didnt even know existed, thor couldve helped him understand what being bi meant and helped him label himself and whatnot but instead we got an off screen confirmation that the writers had bisexual in mind when writing him. which is garbagé.

the whole thor and dizzee never having a confirmed relationship status is also a development problem cause like literally nobody knows if they were just friends who made out, maybe fucked, who knows, or if they were dating bc dizzee does give a love confession but a love confession doesn't mean there is a relationship, especially since thor didn't say he was in love either (as far as I remember, I could be wrong, plus whether or not that really happened or was apart of dizzee literally overdosing during a performance is unclear so 🤪)

and now for the biggest issue...bury your gays trope.

during the season 2 finale, dizzee and thor are chased by cops after they are found doing graffiti, one of the cops is able to catch thor while the other chases dizzee into a train tunnel and there is a train seen headed straight for him before the show cuts to black on a train horn. the show writers claim that if they had gotten another season, dizzee wouldve been alive but since they didnt and since that's essentially super fan trivia knowledge, most people dont fucking know that and instead had to watch a black queer teenager chose death over being fucking arrested by a white cop. on top of that, thor didnt see any of that shit because he was caught and the cop started hauling him off while dizzee was still being chased so thor literally has no clue where his friend/possible boyfriend fucking is or that he's likely dead in a goddamn tunnel all alone, unless you count the fucking pig that chased him in there who wouldve died too. this shows rep was so fucking good as far as most shows go on not having major fucking problems, on not being toxic and over sexualized, etc, etc. and then they just. killed a black queer teenager for no fucking reason. like it was literally the last episode ever, it would add nothing to the plot, it would just devastate fans and devastate it fucking did. I dont cry easy but seeing a character I identified with, who I had hyperfixated on, die because he'd rather that than be arrested is terrible. it fucking sucked.

so yeah. that's my all too extensive thoughts/analysis on the get down's queerness. theres definitely stuff I missed, or misinterpreted, or looked too much into, etc, etc., but this was a fun thing to spend time writing sooo yeah!! thanks for the ask anon, sorry this was just a big rambley info dump, but hopefully you get some enjoyment out of it since it took like 3 hours at least 😭😭 feel free to ask clarifying questions lol

[bisluthq]

You betrayed the gaylor part of fandom to pretend you like toe. You were gaylor, but toe has more engagement for your blog. // lol this anon really said guess you didn’t cheat nat but you’re still a traitor 💔💔💔

😅😅😅

I meaaan look I have gotten similar messages before and I’m sorry if my content doesn’t interest you anymore but as I’ve said many times I’m TRAGICALLY doomed to live in reality. And I’m just not interested in like making theories based on misinformation and like misinforming people in unfunny ways. When I started the blog, I was open to some kind of messy Kaylor because I didn’t understand the making of process for Rep and didn’t know shit about Klossy. I’m not open to it anymore because I understand both things so I’m not gonna portray Mrs “make hubby eat the pancakes” as some kind of bicon goddess breaking hearts left and right.

I’ve also looked into all the other Gaylor ships but they’re either extremely unlikely and thus essentially crackships or by definition not that deep (open to messy Houghlor, open to messy Swiftgron, heck open to Taybigail experimentation because why not and redheads are hot).

Beyond that there’s not much to say. When Taylor does gay seeming stuff I like making jokes about it but I don’t find the “Tree Paine shaking and crying” stuff funny and I don’t find people not being homophobes to be funny and proof they’re gay.

I also feel like there’s a lot of unpleasantness in many Gaylor spaces and like it’s just not really for me.

My anons are mostly queer, mostly open to like a fruity Taylor because who knows and that’d be fun, but it’s just not fun for me to discuss it all the time I feel like I’ve said all there is to say there.

So if it’s not content you enjoy fair enough, find content you like and fandom however you want. But I’m also not gonna like make content I don’t want to make in order to like comfort people. Like there are Gaylor blogs yk and not like delusional ones that do enjoy making that content. It’s not really for me tho.

And to be transparent yes my engagement and following grew when I got into general Taylor updates which again reminds us Kaylor/Gaylor literally doesn’t matter. If it’s fun for you go for it I’m not judging and I think everyone should fandom however they want but ya the bulk of Swiftdom isn’t really interested in it beyond like occasional jokes which are popular on Twitter, Insta and TikTok too but from VERY soft Gaylors.

S2 ep 3 reaction

I have no idea what's happening

Ok this is a pretty clever intro

Also I guess the main antagonist this episode is a bdsm, emo, vampire... named Jurgen

The look Sam gives Max when he's having his vision 💗💗💗

Lol Sam doesn't question the zombies until the Commissioner calls

"You know what they say about guys with big feet. They have big thongs."

Sybil is so done with Abe. Have a feeling they'll get back together tho 😒

Poor Leonard

Bosco's is closed :(

Sybil actually seems happy to see the boys 🥰

Sam thought Sybil was becoming a prostitute

"I'm not going back into that closet. Not after all we accomplished."

Don't trust Harry alone with Sybil 😕

Abe is sulking in Stinky's

Girl Stinky asks me to get rid of Abe and I'm like, "anything for you queen" (I don't actually know how to do that yet tho)

Why does Abe have confederate money?

Well, neither Stinky or Abe were helpful

C.o.p.s. once again are the most useful of the minor characters

I don't like the delivery mini game 😒

Superball!!!! My love 💓💘💗

"Superball." *thunder and horse winnie*

Oh hey, garlic cigarettes in the garbage... Sure that's useful considering y'know

Sam honey, why are you putting grave dirt in your coat

Oh, it was a brain... that's worse

Wait, how is the torch lit in a downpour

Oh hey, I figured out the garlic puzzel quick :)

Ah, I can’t take the cigs with me and Max won't eat them

It's nice of Superball to indulge Max by doing the voice

Jurgen is disrespectful. He must die

"I never knew Vampires were so... fruity." "Not all vampires, Max. Just the European ones."

Haha Max is dancing

Oh I can have Sam dance with the zombies

What a bicon, using finger guns

"Okay Jurgen, kill ya later."

"Is that your hand?" "Oops, sorry little buddy."

Haha, Jurgen looked like an idiot while nearly burning alive

Let's make the edges rhyme

Ew he drank Max's blood

Let's grab our cigs and go somewhere

Wait... the studio?

WAIT I thought midtown cowboys got canceled

Oh well.

Ok, apparently it's popular enough in Germany (?) that it's the only one show the studio films???

Oh, I see what I have to do.

And I know how to get the holy water too!

Aw, it gives Max a little halo 😇

Dumb bitch boy intentionally smokes something that can easily kill him.

Love that him drinking Max's holy blood seems to just give him indigestion.

Oh, he actually killed the boys. Now he really has to die.

At least they're zombies?

Zombie Lincoln

The boys don't understand the difference between Stone Abe and zombie abe

I'm going to harass people as zombies

Superball can't understand us 😞

I like that Sam and Max can only communicate in groans

Oh, we can talk to the zombies now.

"But we're the Freelance Police, we can't die!"

I have to get into the VIP lounge

Zombie Abe followed us into the factory

The game is running real slow for some reason 😴

I'm going to restart my computer and see if it'll let me update Steam

Ok, since it was the monster factory that made things freeze last time I'm going to go to the studio and to The Neighborhood first to see if I can find anything new.

Oh, I can’t go to the studio :(

Jesse James hand ran off

The hand has Girl Stinky! We have to save the problematic queen!

Okay, figured out how to get it stuck

Aw, she called the boys her heroes

Sybil completely unaffected by the boys being zombies

The moleman doesn't want us to touch anything haha

Oh I forgot about her soul mater

She just keeps talking to them as if they're not zombies

I clicked on Harry a bunch and Sam just... shoved his finger in Max's mouth??? "What are they doing?"

Ok I don't think I can do anything now so I'm going back to the Zombi Factory

Zombie abe followed us again

Whoa, it's Flint Paper!!!

Aw, he came to rescue Sam and Max 💕

Lol, he shot Abe's brain out

Oh, their souls are in a cage

The souls don't want to go back to their bodies????

Ok got the intenna to charge up the alchemy table

Lol, the boys are so dramatic while bringing the monster to life

"I am... alone." "You got us." "Please kill me."

Aw, we get to introduce him to Sybil

Aw, Sybil defending the Zombie boys from Harry's prejudice 🥰🥰🥰

Oh, we were able to set Harry up as a jerk

Aw, she kicked him out because he was mean to the boys 🥲

Oooh!? Agent Superball X Sybil??? I like!

Ok, got the chocolate, let's turn it to gold.

Oooh! I know how to get behind Flint now!

"Bleh! Flint tastes like cigarettes and cheap scotch."

Oh, so we're just leaving Flint on the ground?

"Wanna play doctor, Max?" "For the last time no-- OH! With the monster, sure."

Yay, monster has a proper name now

Superball thinks sybil is beautiful 🥺🥺🥺

I want him to end up with her not stone Abe or the monster!

Maybe in a fix-it fic

Sybil is a canon monster fucker

Superball is sad 😥

Oh no! She's going back to stone Abe! I knew it was going to happen

Sam and Max blowing kisses Yakko style at the camera

Pfft Girl Stinky is still tied up

Lol, soul Max's reaction to getting sucked back into a body

Also, they switched bodies!?

"Ah, so there's where you keep your gun." Uuuuh

"I bet those candy-assed vampire hunters just don't know how to do it."

Ok that's a pretty cool way to beat him actually

[tfw-no-tennis]

ani....morphs.....

ok so picking up after the david trilogy, which hit hard as FUCK, we have book 23, which basically was a semi truck that ran over my corpse, jesus christ, they really followed up the david trilogy w/all that....

23 was so so good and also painful. its the culmination of a lot of tobias’s characterization in the series thus far and also we finally get the reveal we’ve been waiting for about elfangor....ooooh man 

and there was a lot of painful stuff in this book but the worst imo was tobias wondering if it were possible that somebody wanted him and would take care of him, only to have it all come crashing down in the worst way when it turned out aria was visser three in morph, ouch. 

that was so brutal augh. and when he figured it out and just crash landed and kept thinking about how he wanted to die and how he was stupid to think he could have a home...bro get these kids some THERAPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

so yeah that book was absolutely brutal but also so good...and it further fleshed out the animorphs working as a near-flawless team, w/the whole setup of tobias meeting w/the lawyer being so airtight and well-planned 

also more free hork bajir!! its cool that there's stuff happening w/them offscreen, I like that 

I literally had to take a break from reading the books bc the david triology + 23 was like so much, and also bc the olympics were on and all my time got dedicated to watching those, but then I opened 24, not sure what to expect, and BAM it was the helmacrons lmaoooo

I don't even remember the helmacrons but ig a lot of people hate them? lmao so that whole reputation preceded the book and I was like oh wow time for a change in tone

which wasn't wrong but also I liked that book?? I was never bored, even tho the whole thing was patently ridiculous and also had very little bearing on the overarching story

but I think it would be a standout if it were a TV episode w/a good budget - the visuals were amazing even in text, and I can imagine all the cool shrinking/growing/cellular stuff would be WICKED cool visually (ideally 2d animation but an ant man-esque live action adaptation wouldn't be terrible if they had the budget for it)

whatever let me dream. so yeah I didn't hate the helmacron book even tho the helmacrons themselves were...sure something. lmao I think they come back? that should be interesting

next book is the arctic one, we have yet another alien of the week style adventure - I liked this one too, it felt like more plot-y stuff happened since they destroyed the base, and marco’s POV is always fun 

I do find it funny/interesting how sometimes when the animorphs do something - like in this book, destroying that base in the arctic - it doesn't really seem to impact the yeerks much/it doesn't get brought up much after that. and then other things like them destroying the ground-based kandrona get mentioned a lot (that example is understandable tho bc that WAS a big deal). its just hilarious to me how blowing up entire building complexes has become so routine that it isn’t even worth mentioning at this point

Also I adore when they meet other random people/kids and are chill w/them, like w/that kid they met in the rain forest earlier on w/the time travel 

the descriptions of the brutally cold weather were great. I hate the cold so I was like oof this is a nightmare lmao

also ig that was the first ghostwritten book and I did kinda notice it was slightly different than usual? maybe? I could be imagining it tho 

okay but book 26 tho...BOOK 26. bruh 

that was SO good and I really didn’t know what to expect - but when we finally revisited Jake’s dream w/crayak I knew it was gonna be good (but I didn’t expect it to be a chess game war epic..!)

basically I loved it. SUCH a good Jake book - I really appreciate his character now as opposed to when I was 10 and often overlooked him (sorry jake).

similarly, when I was a kid and read these I sympathized a lot w/the chee and felt bad for them towards the end of the series when they had to get more involved in the war (genuinely don’t remember what they even do but ik I felt bad) 

but now I've basically 180′d and I'm like damn those chee sure are hypocrites huh. 

like they could solve So many of the animorphs problems but their stringent adherence to nonviolence leads to them actively getting in the animorphs way sometimes? and obviously pacifism is a complicated topic, but in this case it also intersect w/the whole ‘child soldier’ thing, and as beings who are insanely old and wise, the chee probably shouldn't just leave all the dirty work to a bunch of literal middle schoolers

aaaaanyways. there’s so much I love about this book. the iskoort! they were sure something. and the ‘plot twist’ that they are actually 2 beings, the Isk and the Yoort - and the Yoort are essentially Yeerks - that slapped. the symbiosis of it all! 

I loved the part where they all realize what this means, that this is why Crayak wants the iskoort destoryed - because someday the yeerks might come across them and realize parasitism is not the only way. I love it! 

alas I don’t recall the iskoort returning in the story (but also my memory is terrible so who knows?) but still that would be cool

basically I feel like this is the book where Jake Truly comes into his own as a leader, in every sense. he outmaneuvers Crayak, and even the ellimist, who’s yanking them around in his own way

the scene where jake shoves the howler off the cliff and jumps off and morphs and acquires the howler...that was fantastic and tense. 

also the murder is definitely becoming more overt. I mean, it has been for a while, but it isn’t really pointed out as much anymore. oof

more on the chee - as Jake points out in this book, and other characters point out in other books - the chee could have saved the pemalites, but instead just stood by while their creators were slaughtered. on the other hand, jake says, what do the chee do AFTER they’ve killed the howlers - where to point them next? when is the end of their violence? 

buuuuut also standing by while atrocities occur is pretty damning, as is frequently mentioned in this series - from the very beginning, when marco initially doesn’t want to get involved in the war at all, and the other animorphs basically tell him that turning his back on the war and acting like he doesn’t even know it’s happening would be immoral and cowardly (which imo this reaction helps to push marco in the direction he ends up going, but I digress) - this topic comes up again in 19 when cassie quits the team and rachel is upset bc she sees it as cassie elevating her own feelings above the greater good (as in, as long as cassie feels good about how she acts, it doesn’t matter how much preventable evil the yeerks are committing while she turns away). etc etc. but that’s essentially what’s happening w/the chee - even tho they help w/intel, the lack of any sort of Action on their part means that they’re essentially allowing awful things to happen when they could prevent them. this is rambly but basically...animorphs deals so much in grey areas, and the chee are noticeably black and white in their actions, despite falling, in a meta sense, in an extremely grey area. its such good, thought provoking writing!

anywayssss I keep talking about the chee lmao what else was there. oh YEAH jake and cassie kissed for the first time awww that was super cute 

and ofc immediately marco teases them as asks jake if he’s gonna kiss him next, and all I can say is...marco is a bicon 

also I love the background worldbuilding w/the iskoort, how they have all these groups and guilds and stuff - its not dwelled on much, which actually works really well to give the world/species a sense of lived-in realness 

okay oh man and the reveal at the end that the howlers were just like...children who thought the whole thing was a game...AUGHH man that’s sooo fucked 

like, when jake morphs the howler and has rachel ready to knock him down in grizzly morph if he gets out of control due to the howler’s murderous instincts, and he morphs to find that the howler is...playful, like a dolphin morph. SUCH a good fucked up sense of dawning horror there 

and the fact that as far as I can tell the chee KNEW this, but wanted revenge anyways, so they let the animorphs assume that the howlers were Evil On Purpose

also I love smaller moments, like jake seeing that ax is ashamed for briefly running away during one battle w/the howlers, and then entrusts him w/an important task bc he knows that ax will see that as redemption - and when everyone thought jake was dead and were so happy when he wasn't (they all love each other so much im gonna cry about these child soldiers augh)

basically that book was so good

man one thing I absolutely love is that the longer the series goes on the more obvious it is that andalites, despite inventing morphing technology, barely use it themselves 

like, most of the andalite characters we see barely morph. its kind of a last resort to them, as they’re already plenty dangerous in their regular forms 

meanwhile for the animorphs, that’s all they have to fight with. that’s their only weapons against the yeerks, and its so fun to see them use the power in so many varied ways, and so creatively, while the andalites have barely scratched the surface of their own technology

its also interesting to contrast against the yeerks who start out w/absolutely no technology, and the andalites share some but not all of their technology w/them...its too bad that morphing technology was just starting out cause that would’ve been interesting

like imo a lot of the conflict w/the yeerks could’ve been avoided if they could just nothlit into better forms - of course, there’d still be plenty of yeerks who want to go start wars or w/e, just like pretty much any species in the series, but a lot of yeerks would probably be like ‘yeah I'm good’ and just chill out as nothlits

also people online love to talk about how humans are alienfuckers and would definitely have sex w/sentient aliens and whatnot, and while I'm not saying that's untrue, its just funny bc in animorphs the truest alienfuckers are definitely the andalites

as of the hork-bajir chronicles, we now have a second instance of an andalite morphing another species to be in an inter-species alien romance (and eventually have kids) 

speaking of, I don’t think I’ve talked abt the hork bajir chronicles yet??? even tho I read it a while ago lmao 

HBC was great...I honestly haven’t really run into an animorphs book I’ve actually disliked at this point, I’m sure it’ll come w/all the ghostwriting and whatnot, but I’ve liked at least some aspects of every book

anyways HBC was great, and it’s funny bc I remember that I read this book as a kid, and yet rereading it now I didn’t remember a single bit of it lmaooo

I really liked the framing device of the free hork bajir telling this story to tobias. I also liked how we know from the beginning that this story wont have a happy ending - we know all the hork bajir end up enslaved by the yeerks, but it’s still somehow hopeful at the end? I think this is largely due to the framing device tbh. 

also I love toby, and I love that the First free hork bajir named their kid after tobias ;_; 

and oooh mannn I LOVED the different POVs from this book. all the characters were so interesting! aldrea was fascinating - I really like the increasingly negative view of the andalites that the readers are getting, all while maintaining the sense that they aren’t like, actively evil, just that they have their issues - like aldrea’s arrogance, and the general andalite arrogance which lead to the loss of the hork bajir. also, who knew andalites had their own brand of sexism? Ls

I did like getting a female andalite tho, that was cool. and dak was really cool, he was such a good, compassionate character who was able to maintain his morals in an interesting way throughout the story

and VISSER THREE...or should I say esplin 9466, because he’s not visser 3 yet...getting his ‘origin story’ was excellent - I really like how we’re learning about visser 3 backwards - we start off the series w/him as the main villain, and he’s campy and menacing, and then we see him in the andalite chronicles as a power-hungry sub-visser trying to climb the ranks and eventually getting alloran as a host, and then back even further here, w/the start of his focus on the andalites and the beginning of his ambition. its been very cool and interesting to see

plus, the beginning of the yeerks as we know them! seerow! alloran! it’s a party and nobody is having a good time, except for some of the yeerks. 

I like how it’s pretty obvious that the andalites are well-meaning with their interactions w/the yeerks, but go about it the wrong way - they give them enough technology that the yeerks realize there’s a whole world out there to experience, and then they blockade the yeerks on their planet and tell them they can’t leave. nnnnot the best approach imo

again, as I said above, I’m interested in how things could’ve gone if the andalites had given the yeerks morphing technology early on - could a lot of the conflict have been avoided, or would it have been worse? the yeerks seem pretty evil in this book, immediately jumping to enslave anyone they can. otoh we hear from esplin that not all yeerks like having host bodies, and find it overwhelming, preferring to swim around in the yeerk pool as a slug - I assume as host bodies became more available this type of thinking was probably stamped out in yeerk society or w/e, but there are a lot of interesting what-ifs in the situation 

I loved the scene where esplin first experiences having a host, and immediately knows he can’t go back. there are a bunch of great sensory descriptions, and it’s a nice scene to pinpoint as a foundational moment for the visser three in the current story, who spent a lot of time and energy getting what he sees as the best possible host body, an andalite

I find it interesting how much visser three clearly respects the andalites, even while constantly deriding them. and you can see the origins of that here as he immediately focuses in on the andalites, working to become an expert on them in order to make himself useful enough to move thru the ranks

another thing I like is how esplin seems a lot more crafty and ambitious than the visser three from modern times - I would guess that reaching his goal (andalite host body) and being given all that power was detrimental, playing on his weaknesses instead of his strengths. basically, I don’t think it’s ooc or anything, I can see how HBC-esplin became animorphs-esplin, especially w/TAC in between

as for seerow...poor dude. you really do have to feel for him, because you get the sense he really did just want to be kind to the yeerks, but it was borne from a place of pity, and he (and the other andalites) consistently held too much power over the yeerks for the species relations to ever be truly equal and functional 

AUGH I have so many thoughts about alien space politics. omg. I need to talk about the actual story lmao

so yeah I also feel for aldrea, she had a rough time, watching her entire family die and being thrown into a hopeless war

and then the andalite council or w/e not listening to her bc she's a girl AND seerow’s daughter...oof

also, I really really liked the running theme of the andalites - specifically aldrea - looking down on the hork bajir as ‘simple’ and constantly underestimating them, especially dak

and I like how this is portrayed as a bad attitude for aldrea to have, and she still remains and interesting and sympathetic character even while having obvious flaws. it’s about being 3-dimensional baby!

and oh man I love that dak realizes that aldrea looks down on him, and his entire species, but he can see that that’s how the andalites are, and it all connects back to the beginning of the story w/the yeerks, bc the andalites looked down on the yeerks and treated them with pity and kept them pinned under their proverbial thumb ‘for their own good’ and look how that turned out 

but dak is wise and kind enough to not hate aldrea for this, even acknowledging when she’s using him, but not pushing her away because he recognizes good in her too - and she ends up changing, partially because of his faith in her

and I feel like it can all be compared to that scenario of like - a hypothetical creature that lives in a 2D world suddenly being thrust into a 3D world, and comprehending what its seeing, and understanding that there’s so much more out there outside of the flat lines of its world - and then its dropped back into 2D-land with the knowledge of all the stuff its missing out on, and no way to get back to it or explain it to anybody else

I loooove that ‘trope’ or w/e you wanna call it, and it’s done beautifully here w/the yeerks - whos the say they wouldn't have been fine in their pool swimming around; as esplin said, a lot of the yeerks were terrified of having a host, it was only from the andalites’ perspective that their lives were sad and pitiful, and the andalites showed them what the world could be like, and then said ‘no, you can’t travel the stars like we do, you have to stay here on your planet and do what we say.’

and then again, w/the hork bajir - dak talks about how, even though he drinks up the knowledge that aldrea gives him, in the end it might have been better to just have lived peacefully, not knowing what was in the sky or the Deep - as aldrea says: “It was too late for Dak: he knew that the stars were not flowers.” 

plus the hork bajir having to go from a completely peaceful species who don’t even understand the concept of violence, to a bunch of soldiers fighting a war...oof 

basically everyone in this story uses the hork bajir. the yeerks use them as hosts, the andalites use their planet as a convenient place to dump seerow and then take their sweet time coming to help, and the arn created them as means to stabilize the planet, but block them off from their society and refuse to help when the yeerks come

like, the arn modifying themselves to be un-infestable by the yeerks and then being enslaved for physical labor instead? oof guys. if they had teamed up w/the hork bajir resistance things might have gone better, but probably not 

more on aldrea - throughout the story I was always thinking ‘how am I supposed to see her? as a good person, or as a bad person?’ 

as a POV character, especially a ‘good guy’ andalite, you just start off automatically thinking of her as a good person, but as the story goes on, she starts getting lost in revenge and begins using dak and the hork bajir, and you’re left wondering if this is a story about her slide into darkness, and then towards the end of the story her character development culminates in her making the decision to stay w/the hork bajir, and the be with dak, and that’s about when I went ‘ohhh right this is animorphs so every character is pretty much gonna be grey’

I feel like that moral grey-ness was on full display w/aldrea, and I really enjoyed that. I love so much when characters who are good do bad things, for good or bad reasons, especially in media like animorphs that’s aimed at kids. it’s so compelling. 

oof, and the ending when aldrea convinces dak to mobilize the hork bajir and teach them violence...and dak asks her if she’s ever killed another andalite, and she’s horrified, and says of course she hasn’t, and he says that that’s what she’s asking him, and all the hork bajir, to do - to kill their own people, even if they are being controlled by the yeerks. biiiig oof. I love that dak can keep up w/aldrea and her andalite supremacy attitude - it seems that the non-andalite characters who get along best w/the andalites are the ones who wont take their bs 

what else happened....oh my god how could I forget about alloran, and his quantum virus. oooof. I like how we find out about alloran in parallel to visser three, in the same backwards way - in animorphs he’s the tragic host of visser three, in TAC he’s the disgraced but still semi-respected war-prince who becomes the first ever andalite controller, and here he’s the guy who decides to commit some war crimes because, hey, we haven’t tried that yet 

but yeah that was fucked up, I love it. I’ve said it before I think but I like that alloran isn’t some perfect martyr tragically taken by the yeerks - it’s a lot more compelling that he’s a very flawed person who was taken as a controller partially due to his own bloodthirstiness. 

but yeah, the part where aldrea morphs alloran and ‘sneaks’ into that room was great. aldrea’s dedication to disposing of the virus is a great indicator of her character development - it really feels like the straw that broke the camels back w/re: to the andalites not being what she thought they were, w/their tardiness coming to help the hork bajir planet and the way her father was treated being the precursors to this realization. it all culminates nicely in aldrea saying ‘fuck this actually’ and nothlit-ing into a hork bajir.

and it’s really tragic but realistic that even though aldrea and dak end up seeing eye to eye at the end and getting together, the virus ends up being released anyways (and fails in its objective to stop the yeerks from using the hork bajir - the whole thing was p much a lose-lose situation oof), and aldrea and dak still die fighting a hopeless war 

but then we have the free hork bajir on earth, including toby, who, like tobias, has andalite ancestry, but no DNA to show for it - I like that they have that connection as well as tobias being her namesake

so yeah I enjoyed that one and its many-layered themes

WOW this got long uuuuuhhh ok I think i’ll leave this one off here. at the time I’m actually finishing the writing and editing, I’m on book 35 lol so I have some backlogging to do. never fear, I have a lot to say....

[vexedtonightmares]

You should rank the skam France characters on vibe alone

have i been chosen to deliver the vibe check? i’ll do my best with this power (this isn’t a character ranking or anything either btw this is just pure shitposting so i’m sorry if u were expecting something more poetic 😔✌️)  

emma borges- s1 emma suffered so s2-6 emma could vibe beyond this universe. yann and emma got their development and fucked off to be shining beacons of light in every clip they’re a part of. she talked to a horse. V I B E S.

imane bakhellal- beautiful amazing incredible show stopping iconic never been done before fantastic perfection oui oui baguette. has never done anything wrong in her life. i want her to vibe check me.

yann cazas- homie did his time during season one and ever since then he’s literally just been v i b i n g. he gets points taken off for the end of 3x06, but sans ambiguite restored his power. yann is my king. socialist icon.

eliott demaury- the only reason he does not have the best vibes is because he’s just not straight vibey all the time like, say, yann cazas. by the time s6 is over he’ll just be vibing in the sixth dimensional plane of existence in his doc martens like at the end of s5, though, i believe in him.

basile savary- s3 basile failed the vibe check so hard that somehow he got knocked into another dimension and came back from it enlightened beyond words. he now passes the vibe check with flying colors.

lucas lallemant- he has pretty solid vibes, but we can’t forget his s1 snakery, unfortunately. he does get extra points for being gay, though, and for having the best hair in all of france. his chaotic energy surpasses most known rules of vibes, so he’s near the top anyway, snakery and all.

lola lecomte- fuck vibes she needs a HUG. as far as vibes go though, she’s my current self projection character, so that’s a special vibe all on its own. 

maya etienne- an environmentally conscious lesbian with purple hair who does urbex with her best friends who happen to be a delightful group of queer arty weirdos? these vibes are so sweet i can smell the roses.

alexia martineau- the colored hair in s1-4 automatically puts her vibes above so many others. queen of Deserved Better. also a certified bicon which i think is very sexy of her.

idriss bakhellal- the coolest vibes of them all, you can’t tell me any different. unfortunately, he dated ingrid, so. vibes automatically decreased.

lisa- she sleeps and makes horrible jokes and has a job as a lifeguard while she can’t swim. if that doesn’t scream vibes idk what does.

noee daucet- she’s honestly also too cool to vibe in the same way as everyone else, and that’s what makes her vibes so strong. i miss her. would have had better vibes if she was a lesbian but the same goes for everyone. 

max- vibes out of this world. lamifex is on another level, i stg, all of their vibes are so incredible i can’t help but chef’s kiss in their direction at all times. max especially, go off king just for existing. 

sofiane alaoui- turtleneck, dancing, punched charles. i rest my case.

jo- can and WILL fight a bitch. mad respect and mad vibes. also an eliott stan, which gives me the representation i never knew i needed. incredible.

sekou- history nerd who absolutely SERVED at that urbex party. no one is doing it like him. if someone tried to vibe check him he would simply pull an uno reverse, and i think that’s one of the greatest vibes out there.

manon demissy- on paper? incredible 10/10 vibes. in practice, not so much. i Love this girl do not get me wrong, but she’s pulled some straight up Not Cool moves and the fact that she’s still dating charles is the real reason her vibes are a bit crispy rn.

arthur broussard- i do not know what to do with this lil man. s3/4/6 arthur? immaculate vibes, untouchable. s5 arthur? demon. so, he’s here. 

daphne lecomte- if her vibes were a state of matter, they would be gas, because they are bouncing all over the place with no sense of pattern or rhythm. sometimes her vibes are out of this world, sometimes her vibes belong in hell. very difficult to pinpoint.

camille- vibes out of this world, the only reason he’s not higher is because he was in like 10 clips of s5 and that’s it. bonus points for camika though.

mika dolleron- not the best vibes, not the worst. always comes thru when u need him, but he’s also a bitch. he embraces it, though, which is a vibe all on its own i suppose.

alexandre delano- p chris and eva walked so emma and alex could run, i said what i said. he left after s4 tho, so that vibe isn’t very spicy. 

ingrid spielman- racist. automatic vibe check fail.

tiff- lola quite literally vibe checked her, and if the neck brace says anything, it says fail. stalking is also an automatic vibe check fail. girl. what the fuck. get ur life together. she isn’t allowed to have vibes until she does so.  

charles munier- rancid vibes, does not even deserve a ranking because we all know he is the embodiment of human garbage.

OMG WAIT SHE PICKS IT UP FOR HIM LETS GO.

Wait what if she symbolizes like the universe or nature or fate and its just like: relax i get that for you hold up a sec tho

Lu Feng is so strong. Like mentally

He has to suffer with the guilt of the death of xiao chen’s mom and the guilt of his brother being paralyzed

He is also heartbroken and his father literally is so oppressive and just terrible to him

He willingly got hit by a car just so that xiao chen would be happy

Not to get back together, but for him to be happy

Im frigging soft dont touch me

Goddamn he came back

periodt

Oh wow

Lovers to enemies

Okay then

For both him and yourself

Ughhhhhh i hate that i still have an attachment to lu feng even though i should hate him cuz he’s crazy and a kidnapper and he literally raped xiao chen

Wait no

I don’t forgive him

I just give him a second chance

Cuz he went through shit

But xiao chen went through more shit and dealt with it better cuz of his sort of “cowardly” and “content” personality sal;djflsadkjfas;lkd

The flashbacks of his past self

Man this hits hard

Oh my god he’s waking up while lu feng is abou to fricking die

Oh my god please dont die

That ending

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO HAPPY ENDING

WHY WOULD ASJFLSDKFJ:LDJSF WHAT THE HELL IM GOING TO DIE

IM CRYING

IM LITERALLY CRYING SO HARD RIGHT NOW IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY

His last words were xiao chen

Omg the cinematography in this movie was brilliant

All of the symbolism and all of the frigging flashbacks and back and forth and just everything.

Oh my god this was so so so so so sooooo good. I’m literally at a loss for words

Oh my fricking god

And when he was like reaching for lu feng at the end

Saying the there was a deeper feeling within the hate

I lost it

[butchedyke]

(for the char thing) stanley uris, mike hanlon, and patty blum

migz!!!! i’m sorry i abandoned this in favour of video games and capitalism i hope i can make it up to u uwu

this is mostly going off the movies but there’s occasional book and miniseries input- i’ve only read the first few chapters, a few wikia pages, and some character meta from the book and i’ve only seen the miniseries once vs the however many times ive watched the movies in the last 2 months so don’t expect consistency between canons

 (also i’m gonna put these under a cut because this post got really long)

stanley uris

How I feel about this character:

there is a reason i use the tag baby boy for stan (and also for miniseries eddie)!!!! he’s my favourite loser other than eddie and i want to like. hold him and make sure he’s happy and healthy and i think stephen king should treat his characters better.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

patty!!!!! their relationship in the book makes me so happy and anyone who’s ever spoken to me about stanpat knows that i am at all times thinking about how she calls his car sedanley.

that being said, i respect stenbrough, stanlon, and streddie but overall this is a stanpat household

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

stan with all the losers but especially richie! which isn’t very original since they are literally best friends but their dynamic!!! good!!!! i’ve not been able to stop thinking about that one scene from the miniseries where richie introduces stan as “this is stan the man uris, he’s a jew,” partially because it’s fucking funny because who says that richie what the fuck, but also because stan just instantly follows up by saying that richie has a high metabolism which makes him hyperactive, and maybe it’s because the miniseries is campy and a little bit shit but the delivery of those lines makes it seem like they do this a lot! they have these introductions ready to go! and i love the idea of them as a platonic package deal even if we don’t get to see much of that in the movies

My unpopular opinion about this character:

i don’t think i really have any? i tend to follow people who hold the same opinions as me tho so i have no idea what’s popular outside of that dshfk

i mean i do think fics that save eddie but not stan aren’t really fix-its and going off the amount of fics where stan’s still dead i guess that’s somehow an unpopular opinion? i know everyone’s focused on reddie rn but god like. stan is right there can we stop ignoring him pls

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

i mean the most blatantly obvious answer here is that i wish he didn’t die! he should’ve gotten to go on his holiday and rail/get railed by his wife and live to meet his friends as adults, catch up on the 27 years they didn’t get to be with each other. he should’ve gotten to have kids, once everything was over, and they should’ve been able to grow up with 5 extra uncles and an aunt bc u can’t tell me the rest of the losers wouldn’t be deeply embedded in their lives. i just wish stan had a chance to be completely, 100% happy without the underlying terror of his childhood.

on a smaller note i also wish we’d gotten to see more of his interest in birds in the movies bc like. he’s babie. and who knows! maybe would’ve helped stop the perception that his entire personality is just being a bitch that hates richie jshfd

mike hanlon

How I feel about this character:

part of the reason i wanted to read the book was for more mike content because i adore this lil farm boy and the movies. well. y’know. :). characters who just openly and whole-heartedly love their friends and go straight ride or die like 10 minutes after meeting them have my whole heart! he’s so smart and so kind and just wanted to protect his friends as best he could even though he dragged them into this whole mess bc he doesn’t want to lose them again!!!! mike deserves the whole world and if his way of getting that is by getting out of derry and getting to know that his friends remember and love him and each other then that’s all i want for him.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

i wasn’t overly set on any particular mike ship until i watched the miniseries and saw the homoerotic bike montage and now i’m fully on the hanbrough train. choo choo.

just like with stan i support stanlon but endgame hanbrough is just. it’s right there in the text. bill didn’t divorce audra for nothing in ch2.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

this also kinda ties in with the last point, but jane @billdenbrough opened my eyes, in the middle of a very in-depth conversation about audra’s minion strap, to the world of best friends mike and audra who are both with bill which is both galaxy brained and an incredibly good concept which i think about a lot

also i think mike and ben could’ve had something Incredibly soft if mike wasn’t treated like a background character in the first film and a quest-giving npc in the second one :) :)

My unpopular opinion about this character:

i headcanon mike as gay, i have no textual evidence for this, i just think he’s neat. i think it’s a pretty popular opinion that the movies treated him poorly? and i also think that in ch2 he was just trying to protect his friends in a scenario that did not lend itself at all to protection. drugging bill and not telling the others about the full ritual might not have been the best thing to do, but he was in a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation, and he was trying his best to save his friends no matter how impossible it may have been.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

i uh :) i don’t know if anyone’s figured out yet :) that i wish many things had happened with mike in canon :) :) the first film doesn’t give him much but the second film just infuriates me completely tbqh! he’s basically entirely there to push the narrative (his dialogue doesn’t even sound like dialogue! it sounds like prose explaining the plot and the next steps the characters have to take!), or to drug and lie to his friends. i wish they’d kept his backstory the same, that we’d actually gotten to see him find his token, that he’d gotten a token relevant to him as an individual rather than the group, that we’d gotten a flashback for him, that he was given more screentime and development across both films, like... i wish he’d been treated like the other losers and not a plot point.

i also wish we’d gotten to see him on his travels post-canon, seeing the other losers, and just generally actually getting to be happy- we see the start of it but god i just want to see him having a good time outside of derry.

patty blum

How I feel about this character:

if she were not stan’s wife she would be my wife. we don’t get to see much of her in the movie or miniseries and that is a fucking crime!!!! i’ve already mentioned sedanley but like. sedanley. i’ve read patty’s bit in the book and that’s all i need the other 1100 pages can get fucked, she’s just here to watch family feud and love stan which i can confidently say is a huge fucking mood

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

STAN. i guess i already talked about this before but i’ll keep going!!! my love for stanpat overwhelms my usual distaste towards straight relationships bc they’re so good!!!!! the fact that they’re really the only happy relationship to come out of the 27 year gap and they love each other so much and so like... wholesomely? but they still blow each other’s backs out on the reg and it’s what they deserve.

also i sometimes think about patty/audra as like. kind of a crack ship kind of a “i’m a lesbian and i’m desperate to see lesbians” ship. i haven’t thought about it in depth i just want to plant the seed

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

stan introducing patty to the losers and patty becoming an honorary loser is my weakness!!!! patty being comfortable enough to rib richie (and richieandeddie) with stan, but also vice versa going along with richie’s bits. patty and bev getting close because as much as st*phen k*ng and co push bev as One Of The Boys(tm) there’s just something in having another woman around that can be refreshing especially when they’re both bicons. patty and mike enthusiastically sharing holiday pictures and tales of their trips. patty noticing when eddie’s having a bad day, whether it’s anxiety or lingering trauma, and supporting him through it, regaling him with stories about stan and what essentially amount to dad jokes (sedanley!!!) and making sure he knows he’s loved and supported by all the losers. patty, the teacher, and ben, lunchtimes-in-the-library ben who never outgrew his love of reading, nerding out over shit that the others don’t really know about. bill telling patty all about what stan was like as a kid in that way only bill can, richie chiming in with crude comments sometimes but noticeably keeping quieter than usual, and patty returning the favour, telling them about the last 27 years, and not even richie makes a single joke when everyone tears up (because he’s tearing up the most). stan sitting there the whole time not even bothering to point out that he’s right there because it’s enough for him to see the romantic love of his life and the platonic loves of his life bonding, and yeah, maybe it was worth sticking around for.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

i don’t know if this is unpopular but patty pegs. that’s all.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

more patty. let me see my wife.

[xlerotl]

drew all the dream girls i've had so far! to me a dream girl is any girl who appears in a dream that has me in a gay daze when i wake up.... i'm gonna grace you all with a long description about each dream and their new supernatural ties please and thank you (click the readmore for dream descriptions)

(from left to right | toyhou.se folder with their profiles) CAHYA: so i was just watching a movie in a theater as i often do and once i left i was TACKLED by so many women. not even sure what the motive was for that but i got smushed into the ground. and as i popped my head out from the bottom of the people pile like in a cartoon i met eyes with cahya.... that passing glance was enough for me to be in a daze for a while.... now she's a psychic! she's the main connection between dream girl canon and omniscience canon. in omniscience she babysits a kid named tamal who is a different kind of psychic and they help solve a murder/prove the existence of the afterlife

ARIEL: very story time! basically i was set up to meet with a potential future wife who was my age and ariel was her big sister who tagged along. ariel was like kind of a shutin but really funny and outgoing. like i was clicking with ariel more than i was clicking with her sister. we both knew that but we just weren't saying anything yet. and eventually we went to an indoor amusement park where a ride sort of fell apart on us and me and ariel were like hey.... we cool? is it gf time? and it sure was! there was a smooch in this one! and i have no idea why she had puppy ears but i kept them on her. my plans for her now is that she comes from an angel family and angels can look however they want so the ears? don't even worry about it

SANIJA: so we had a goal of some sort i couldn't even remember right after waking up.... basically she was a defiant rich kid! who didn't like to be as fancy as her family wanted her to be. she stood up to them and had a brother who was torn but basically on her side. she was pretty shy and not usually outspoken but her family made her upset. i'm thinking now maybe it's cus rich ppl are sad and she didn't want to take part in their corruption! i actually don't know what kind of paranormal tie to give her. all i know is she's been taken in by a vampire family (though she isn't one herself) and for now she's an amnesiac.

SAMARIE: so sam was always a demon! she was actually a succubus in my dream but i'm not sure about that anymore so she might just be a plain demon from now on. and actually i didn't interact with her at all in this dream but she like really struck me. she's hot. she had a guy she was like seducing but needed to let go of and she is so warm and so loving and like the amount of love she gives to people she barely knows is so touching.... and sam was the name of her boyfriend but i decided to give it to her since she didn't get a name. sam and sam are peak mlm/wlw solidarity.

MORGAN: so i was wearing a very generic princess costume and running from morgan with a treasure that she wanted. she was basically another demon?  nothing i did could stop her so eventually i was like this is not worth it and handed the treasure over because it didn't even have any personal value really. she was actually touched that i like.... considered what she wanted? which isn't even really what i did but we just kinda sat and talked after that and i noticed that when she isn't trying to kill me.... she is kinda pretty.... there was maybe a smooch in this one. only just perhaps. and now i'm thinking instead of a demon that she's a part time grim reaper and part time guardian angel so her determination comes more from stress and makes for an interesting little dynamic.

CHIARA: wasn't much plot to her dream! but i saw her on a cliffside with a flowing cape and just thought she looked so pretty and elegant.... once we got to talking she was such a sweet and warm person.... that kind of elegance tho is like very vampire like so she is definitely a vampire. from what i can remember there was just more to learn about her.... yet getting her to open up wasn't as much of a problem as maybe she wanted me to think it was. she's hardly even genuinely stoic she's just shy! and i guess what there is to explore with her just wasn't conveniently handed to me in a dream. now she's been essentially adopted into the same family that took in sanija so they're awkward foster sisters together. 

KOHARU: so we were doing like a mixer sort of activity in this castle pillar! she was dressed in this very elegant and intricate gown and we really hit it off so once the mixer was close to over we were just chilling with our friends and holding each other.... and suddenly a dragon was circling the castle! there were all these little up high windows where he was looking in and something told me he wasn't gonna kill us but also who knows.... that's all i remember tho and now koharu is a shapeshifter!

LAN-FEN: i actually have to take a pretty big fat L for this dream since voltron was involved at all. so basically lan-fen and a very ooc lotor (as in he was a good person in this dream and not all the kinds of fucked up he actually was) were longtime roommates and about to get married which makes her a bicon. ngl aesthetically they're cute together so hand over that L. anyway she's both alien and human tho looks more human clearly and is some kind of elegant badass space sergeant! i think i have to take another L for the military being involved. and the fact that she really resembles that one anime character from that one thing.... just call me a loser ok. she's pretty tho

( dua lipa. 24. cisfemale. she/her. ) ❛ jade vandermeer, an aries from seattle, washington, moved into holloway three years ago. they are a musician that lives in apartment 5d here and their neighbors don’t particularly mind them. some say they can be volatile and impulsive but others say they’re bold and magnetic. anyways, one thing is for sure: you hear tongue tied by grouplove, it’s jadey-v blasting it.

INTRODUCTION : JADE VANDERMEER

hey! it’s ya girl jess & i’m here with my girl, jade. a little about me, in case you didn’t see my lil ooc intro in the discord – i’m 22 and in the bst timezone. i’m ur local bisexual aries disaster who is indie band trash & resides in rainy england. i played johnny before the revamp ( the nico mirallegro fc! ) and was also an admin for a lil bit. without further ado, here’s my babe!

my d*iscord is @ soft aries#7087 & i prefer to plot there over IMs!

jade’s pinterest board can be found here!

BACKGROUND

jade is the daughter of two business-people. the pair of them strict & straight as a line for her whole childhood. she was born in seattle, but since her father is dutch (hence her last name) and her mother is albanian, the family spent a lot of time travelling to their respective homelands, which was just about the most fun she had as a child. when at home in baltimore, she was kept under close supervision as her parents were the typical snobby, superficial semi-wealthy types and way too overprotective.

leaving the states for long periods at a time made it somewhat hard for jade to keep a friendship group, so she found fun in things that she could do alone like songwriting, singing and learning to play bass guitar. these were just hobbies at first until she entered her mid-teen years and began to take it more seriously, knowing she had the talent to do so. 

music forced her to come out of her shell massively. it gave her the confidence to. kids at school would want to hear her play all the time, and she was happy to show off her talents to others, which helped her to make friends

of course, around this time is when she developed a taste for fun. she wanted to hang out and go to parties and stuff like a normal teenager but again, her parents were still being way too strict & sheltering her

so she had to make do with sneaking out when she could, and when she couldn’t go have fun she continued to refine her passion as a musician, starting to post covers & original songs to youtube and bandcamp & even managing to get quite a substantial fanbase

however, her parents weren’t happy with this. they thought that music wasn’t a real job and that she needed to follow in the family footsteps and work towards being employed by their business. so, they made sure to only extend the offer of financial support through college if she promised to study business, marketing or something similar. and so, she had no choice but to agree to their ultimatum

she began studying at a university in new york, with a degree in business management. of course — she hated it. her studies didn’t align with her passion and so, to the dismay of her parents, she dropped out only a year and a half in. 

it was around this time that jade’s parents figured out that she was going to pursue the music thing no matter what and she wouldn’t be working for the family business. their ultimatum had technically failed, and jade was worried about potential problems between herself and her parents if she were to go back to seattle. and so, the search for a roommate in new york started. she moved into holloway as a matter of urgency

she could finally focus on being herself and taking up music as her full-time focus. there was an issue though, she needed a band. though, that issue was solved when she got together with some fellow holloway residents to form the indie rock band solar eclipse. with jade on bass, of course !!

jade worked as a barista and spent any free time she had working on music with solar eclipse. over the past few years, they’ve managed to take off quite a bit — they’ve signed to a record label, so jade quit her barista job and the band started to work on an album! everything seems to be falling into place.

PERSONALITY

fiery aries lady. aka charismatic and magnetic but do not cross her bad side sksksk

comes across kind of self-centred / vain but really she’s just super proud of herself and has a lot of self-confidence?

very all or nothing. doesn’t like to half-ass things. v determined and inspired at all times

can be a lil intense but is high-key lovely, v sweet and loyal, cares about her friends so much

she has a very strong personality and can be a bit of a liability. does a lot of things she regrets. doesn’t always think before she speaks

impulsive and unpredictable, she’s one of those extroverts that can become draining to be around after a while. she’s so talkative and excitable, a little too much. your muse may find her annoying or endearing depending on what they’re like

a bicon ( shocker.... not )

hopeless romantic, idealist / optimist, quixotic type.

aesthetics: yellow, converse high tops, vinyl pressings of all great indie records, denim mini skirts, mischievous grins, gold glitter

i’m gonna stop here bc i reallllly wanna jump into some plotting !

SUGGESTED CONNECTIONS

best friend(s) — it’s probably a given that this is taken up by her bandmates but i’m open for her to have more too! only requirement for this is that they vibe well with her personality!

past college friend(s) — friends she met at college before she dropped out. maybe they drifted after she left & now they’ve graduated and their friendship will rekindle in holloway?

bad influence — jade is a mischievous little binch. loves to party, go on wild spontaneous adventures, still has a rebellious streak thanks to growing up with strict parents. this person is a bit of a partner in crime for jade, always convincing her to join them in doing dumb shit

good influence — maybe another musician who mentors her as well, but this isn’t required? basically just anyone who can keep her grounded when her [ jenna marbles vc: ARIES ] energy causes her to wild out 

exes (on good or bad terms) — i love angst k thanks. if they’re on good terms, maybe they stayed friends & they’re still in love w jade but she doesn’t know ? if it’s bad terms maybe the relationship ended rly messily or they cheated on her and now they can’t stand each other, idc just gimme angst

a slow burn love interest — i’m not a fan of ship plots that happen right away like??? i like a cute plot that can build and develop for a while !! gimme a lil somethin somethin. our characters have to really work together for this tho so ig i’ll be picky when it comes to this plot

anything honestly!! hmu and if none of these appeal to you we can brainstorm!

LANA CONDOR, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER.  →   according to the school records, JESSICA ASTRID HOA has been attending sacred heart for the past two years. i last saw them hanging around the library; i think they were studying. at twenty-one years old, jess has been studying computer science and get this, i heard that she hacked into the school’s database to change her grade once — figure it’s true ? everyone around here always associates them with wide-rimmed glasses, closed blinds, and silent sips of apple cider on christmas eve and says they’re so cynical, studious, and ambitious. think something will happen to them before the year is over ?

hello everybody !!  my name is lexi and this bean is jessica/jess ! aka sacred heart’s resident smartass/hermione granger. she’s kind of the Worst, but also so, so pure. that probably won’t be the same by the end of her schooling tho *insert eyes emoji*

some facts about jess !!

she’s a your favorite messy bicon, thinks defined jawlines are hot af, and really doesn’t have a preference when it comes to love. she says she doesn’t believe in true love bc of the cynic she is, but jess is pretty romantic in her head

she’s clumsy af. pls don’t ask her to run for longer than a mile. she will break both her legs. also, if a staircase doesn’t have a rail to hold on there’s a 50/50 chance she’ll end up sprawled out on the floor.

jess is incredibly pessimistic and a little antisocial?? she’s kind of an ambivert, wants attention sometimes but also is rly good at communicating when she doesn’t want to be disturbed, which is a significant amount of time. when it comes to conversations, she’s usually the person making snarky comments at the ends of others’ sentences. 

she’s also super smart and studious and because of that a little competitive? she’s always been pushed to be the best, her whole life, so she doesn’t really know any other way. her grades are perfect (except for one minor instance when she...may or may not... have hacked into the schools’ grading system...to change an a- to an a.... she’s a little crazy

but hey!!!! she was smart enough to hack into the school’s database!! wow!!!

jess sees through bullshit pretty well. she’s too blunt sometimes, kind of awkward because of it, and probably rubs people the wrong way. she definitely suspects that something is up @ the school, and low key wants to look into it but she’s also scared af

she’s basically a mix of hermione granger, amy santiago, stiles stilinski, rory gilmore, and kate bishop??

she needs all the things!!! romance, friendship, hatred, etc. pls like this post/dm me if you would like to plot w her !!

･:*:･ﾟ☆ ( alycia debnam-carey. 25. cisfemale. she/her. ) ↷ ( daniele 'dani' nemeth ) has been spotted by the paparazzi in los angeles. they are a ( b ) list celebrity known for their career as an ( actress ). they’re known by their fans to be ( affectionate, humble, & open-minded ) but the tabloids frequently portray them to be ( lazy, reticent, & jealous ) . i wish them every success in the entertainment industry. ( michelle. 22. est. she/her. ) ･:*:･ﾟ☆ 

hello, new friends! i’m michelle and i’ve not been in a group like this in many moons so i’m a wee bit nervous, feelin’ a lil shy, but i’m v excited. lemme jump right in and introduce you folks to dani. i’ll have some more detailed stats and such on my page later on, but this is all the need-to-know info as well as some stuff you probs don’t need to know but i feel like sharing anyway! 

her full name is daniele faith nemeth. she’ll answer to daniele and is known professionally that way, but 98% of the people in her life call her dani. 

she’s had dual citizenship in both america and australia since she was a child, since her mom lived in australia (where dani was born) and her dad lived in america. he moved there for work when she was 2, after he’d split with her mom. she wanted to have a relationship with them both, so she lived with her mom during the school years and spent holidays with her father in california. she moved to california full time when she was 18 and looking to begin her career. at first she lived in anaheim with her dad, but she soon moved to los angeles. 

she’s a 25 year old actress, who has done a couple of movies and a handful of smaller roles, and is now a main role on a popular tv show, but she hasn’t always done that sort of tv. 

she first stepped into the spotlight when she was 19 and was cast on a reality show on mtv. (something very close to ‘are you the one?’) her agent said it’d be a good start for her, and she blindly did what he said. it did seem like a fun time, and if she got to meet a few cute people (mostly boys, because of the show’s premise), then that was okay for her.

it wasn’t until after the show was airing that she realized it may have not been a good idea. she began worrying she’d never be taken seriously as an actress because of her reality tv past. luckily, she was able to capitalize on it instead. since her name was out there now and she’d gathered a small fanbase from the show, her agent was able to land her auditions. 

she got a few small roles right away, doing one episode roles on popular shows and having a minor parts in movies. her biggest role to date came in 2017 when she was part of an ensemble cast in a female-led comedy (think something along the lines of bridesmaids?? but set at a college and no one is getting married) where she got to work alongside more established and known actresses. this movie is being called ‘moon girls’ for right now and no i didn’t use some sort of title generator to pick that at random. her character was named elizabeth.

her role in that movie led to even more opportunities for her, the most notable one being her current gig. the first season of her new tv show is now playing and she is one of the main roles. it’s a horror show and spoiler alert, but she’s signed on for three seasons, so she feels like she won’t be dying anytime soon. (i’m thinking it’s a similar show to mtv’s scream. a murder mystery/slasher type of show.) the show has been doing well and is very popular with teens/young adults. for now this show shall be called ‘red dreams’ and no i didn’t use the same generator again, mind your business. she plays a character named savannah. 

so that’s p much the gist of her career, now moving on to more on her personal life and such. 

since she’s started to gain more fame and more fans, she’s been referred to as a ‘bicon’, as she’s very open about being bisexual. her character on ‘red dreams’ is also bi. 

she is proud cat mom, to a 3 year calico cat named chandler. when she adopted him a year and a half ago, that was already his name, and since she’s a casual fan of friends/chandler, she kept the name. she felt bad about changing it, she didn’t want to confuse him. 

while she worked hard to become a respected actress, thats about the only thing she works hard at. she’s a lazy person, always wanting to spend her time on the couch or in bed. give her some fries and other snacks and let her hang out in front of the tv with her cat and she’s happy. 

she doesn’t easily talk about her feelings, sometimes fearing letting people in and seeing her vulnerable side. this is a general thing, but when it comes to romantic feelings, she’s twice as guarded. this doesn’t mean she’s a cold person though. she may avoid genuine, serious talks but she’s still quite affectionate. she’s all about holding hands and cuddling, whether in a platonic way or otherwise. she loves being close and touchy with people - but only people she’s close to, or wants to be close to, if you get me. wink wink nudge nudge. 

some other qualities hmmm. she is jealous, usually with people, sometimes with career things, but she’d never say it out loud. 

she’s humble, almost self deprecating at times. 

she’s one of the least judgmental people ever, and very fair minded, and can usually see both sides of an argument - most arguments, that is. with major things, like lgbt+ issues, etc, she has a side. 

she’s sarcastic, but not cruel, always trying to be friendly and keep the mood light. 

she can be nosy as well, she likes knowing about other people’s drama, but she doesn’t have malicious intent, she’s just a curious person. 

she loves music and tv, and is never not watching or listening to something. 

she is notoriously late for things. she can force herself to make it to sets on time (9 times out of 10 at least) but for most other things? lie to her about the time if you want her there at the right time. 

she’s the person who lurks the group chat and only contributes by sending memes every once in awhile. she is a taurus and yes it matters to her. she’s an astrology hoe. she doesn’t understand any of it but she likes knowing peoples zodiacs signs and reading about their traits and seeing if they’re compatible. 

hey, potential connections and plot ideas!! 

a best friend, because who doesn’t love a good brotp??? i do!! a list, b list, c list, d list, dani doesn’t care and neither do i. she needs a good ride or die in her life. 

co-stars!!! because of course. her two biggest projects were the ‘moon girls’ movie (which probably consisted of a and b list actors) and her current show (probably other b listers mostly) but she had lots of little parts before those, so they could have met when they were both big roles or when dani was just playing barista #5 in their show/movie.

since i mentioned she’s v closed off when it comes to romance, i feel like maybe she’s broken a few hearts in her day. peeps who she got close with and unintentionally led on, and they wanted more but she was Not about to have those convos, so things ended. 

friends with benefits type thing?? dani is gonna realize she just hurts people if she’s not upfront from the start, so she’s gonna try that honesty thing, and it can lead to her and your muse having a no strings attached type relationship. bonus points if one or both of them fuck that up by catching feels tho lmfao.

a mentor of sorts! she’s still relatively new to the scene and is just now blowing up, so it’d be nice for her to have someone to guide her and give her advice. 

an old roomie maybe?? she was not wealthy when she first came to los angeles on her own and she would have needed a roommate. she didn’t get her own place until ‘moon girls’ was out and successful, so they would have had a few years together. their current status is up for discussion. 

some sort of enemies??? that could be fun. hatred is great. dani doesn’t hate easily but she’ll hate you if you want her to. 

like i mentioned, she is a huge fan of tv and music, so maybe your muse is one of her faves!! they can mutually fangirl over each other. or maybe just dani can fangirl and your muse can be mildly bothered by her.

literally anything!! i know i’m gonna remember a few more and be annoyed with myself for forgetting to add them.  

i will most definitely add some pages to my navi with more stats and details and maybe more connection/plot ideas, but for now, there ya go, folks! if anyone wants to plot, please do not hesitate to say hi. i am so thirsty for any and all connections, i’ll cling real hard to you. i’m excited to get things going!! 

p.s. if i don’t reply suddenly its bc ya girl went to take a much needed 10 hour nap.

(nbc’s) passions discourse 2k18!!!

theresa lopez-fitzgerald--the girl who had ONE goal which was to get that tall white man, early 2000′s soap opera version of armie hammer

but kept gettin DERAILED by GWEN HOTCHKISS who u wanted to feel bad for bc HELLO 2000′s Ethan #1 was her MAN FIRST but like---damn gwen was a bitch right?? (but why?? bc james c riley SAID SO) 

but also bc the never ending plot of THE ETHAN CRANE TABLOID SCANDAL

while theresa was doing a rendition of ‘She’s All That’\Ugly Betty\Ew Glasses Girl (SHE DID THAT SHE REALLY DID THAT. SHE PRETENDED TO BE SOME UGLY DUCKLING AND GWEN THOUGHT SHE WAS HER UGLY FRIEND BUT REALLY THERESA JUST WANTED 2000′S SOAP OPERA ARMIE HAMMER)--

anyway , the tabloid scandal that lasted the entire run of the show--about how ethan wasnt a crane, but a BENNET bc IVY was doing SAM but married JULIAN for $$$, and theresa AND whitney find out and pilar is like ‘dont tell anyone!!’ but gwen and rebecca (her mother) found out about it and plant the story in some  tabloid that apparently EVERYBODY reads and frames Theresa 

and OF COURSE the tabloid is printed and sent to all 20 residents of Harmony on the day of theresa and ethan’s wedding!!! 

and proving that she DIDN’T DO THAT is therea’s plot for 7 seasons!!! and ethan NEVER believes HER but believes EVERYTHING gwen tells him bc he’s a fucking idiot. 

(meanwhile theresa suffers, gets with fox crane (UPGRADE) but it doesnt last bc she’s always obsessed with ethan even when they recast him :((( 

Tabitha plots made the show better IMO bc there’s only so much ethan obession u can take

a thing i never understood was TC’s shed?? for years you never knew waht was in it??? he was always like ‘stay out of my shed?!!!’ and then its revealed its was old tennis pictures?? OKAY TC

Julian and Eve??? He didnt deserve her either. 

Eve was harmony’s only doctor. 

Kay and Theresa not being BFF’s is was a lost opportunity bc they’re so ONe MAN goal oriented 

I wish Charity had died. I wish Miguel had died to. 

Fox was with whitney or did i dream that??? he was with Kay for sure. (right??)

the whitney\chad incest storyline was traumatizing. 

Best Thing: Making Simone a lesbian. 

A Good Thing: making chad A Bicon. A bad thing: giving him another incest storyline. A worse thing: Killing Him Off (to save Ethan #2 of all people). 

kay gets miguel once charity and her dumbass premonitions leave. 

tabitha’s goal of killing charity---LET HER DO IT 

father lonnigan knowing everybody’s secrets but really dedicated to his priest Hippocratic oath 

Grace just left?? Sam?? and her 3 kids??? 2 daughters and some white bland some they hook up with paloma (who was later recast) kay and...i just remember kay...(who was recast like 3 times) 

Sheridan being Ethan’s aunt but being the same age 

Sheridan being friends with Princess Diana and Parallels that followed

Sheridan and Luis Should have been ENDGAME 

why the FUCK did he end up with FANCY--SHERIDAN’S NIECE???!!

Sheridan ending up with Antonio (luis’ ugly older BROTHER) was literally the meanest thing ive ever seen on a soap. thats like caitlan not ending up with cole (sunset beach ref!! bc i watched as a child when i shouldnt have!!)

they legit killed off sheridan and luis’s baby

theresa fucking up gwen’s pregancy also

i wanna say theresa carried one of gwen’s babies?? she fucks up her IVF??

theresa having ethan’s baby and naming him Little Ethan--why theresa why

theresa naming her son Little Ethan and then not being able to tell ethan its his son and EVERYBODY KNOWS its his son EXCEPT Ethan. 

eve’s biggest sin was being some motown singer to pay for medschool and sleeping with julian crane (a couple of times) (okay maybe A LOT)

passions was trying VERY hard on the interracial relationship front

Ivy’s biggest sin was fucking someone POOR (even tho he was Harmony’s Hottie APPARENTLY)

Pilar deserved a better family and husband--they never gave her a man!!! after YEARS of having to put up ivy’s dumbshit!!!

Julian got his dick cut off?? idr why but it was hilarious. 

Tabatha also had julian’s child??? I dont know why. But I know it happened. 

no one in harmony escaped fm a pregancy. 

they also made tabatha NOT evil towards the end and like why fuck you john c riley for that dumb decision 

julian was sometimes british and sometimes NOT

Alister never fucking dying and being a disembodied voice for a majority of the show (LUCKY!!!) but also he was the WORST!!!

Sheridan may or may not have killed either HER mother or Luis’s father??? she had a traumatic childhood. Somehow it’s never revealed that she’s julian’s daughter (IT NEVER MADE SENSE FOR HER TO BE JULIAN’S SISTER!!!)

Ethan Crane was Still The Worst bc he couldn’t make up his dumbass mind between Gwen and Theresa--like CONSTANTLY and then when she ‘tried’ to move on he’d suddenly be like ‘Oh HEY theresa’ (fuck u ethan)

and FUCK u john c riley for never giving theresa someone else to temporarily be obsessed with (what the fuck was even the jared plot line??) 

but also rest in piece john c riley bc he truly gave us a masterpiece where he did EVERY RIDICULOUS PLOT BECAUSE HE COULD--harmony zombie prom, harmony reenacting titanic, carrie prom (???), the red voices in the attic, TIMMY being the only voice of goddamn reason in harmony, that one year alistar tricks the entire cast to go to rome one a murder tour, the tsunami in HARMONY which they placed somewhere near BOSTON (OKAY!)

to THIS DAY i cannot get the theme song out of my head, which for some reason i always pictured charity singing it?? bc it was annoying and i found her annoying also.

Nat I am going to walk you through my thought process. I was thinking about how people only think Joe is going to cheat with his co stars. And then I thought “well, who knows what will happen when Foe comes around, maybe anons also say they’re going to cheat”. And then I thought “plot twist Paul dates Jack instead”. And then I realized that he was a fan of Phoebe and he is a fan of Jack so it’s possible (if we ignore the fact that they’re straight)

We don’t know Paul is straight like we don’t know if he has range but he has unfathomable bi wife energy which could just be bi wife energy but he could be a bicon himself we just don’t know yet. Jack is hetty tho so that exact scenario won’t happen lol but I’m not sure an mmf threesome is off the table for Mescers.

But also ya why are they so obsessed with Joe fucking a co-star? He could fuck a random hoe from the grocery store or the gym like it’s just as likely.
