#wishlist for season 13

[shewholovesall]

Do you have your own stellarode wishlist in seaosn 13?

My stellaride wishlist:

I need there to be a lot of soft moments, I need Team Severide/Kidd. LIke in All Out Mystery. I just need them to contineu the team dynamic cause they are married

I need grocery scenes, them making dinner together again. Can we see them eat dinner and talk (we got that with Gabby and Matt) I'd like to see it with them

I need Kelly to communcaiton and I need them to talk bout how Damon is a change but that it doesn't affect them as a couple. I

I need Kelly not to stepback the family convo cause I could see him do it by comparing himself to Benny with this new long lost brother. I need Kelly to remember what he said to that kid in season 7 YOu choose episode of chicago fire. He needs to remind himself that what his dad did or didn't do with Damon is a reflection on Benny Severide. And I quote "The way he acts towards you, towards everyong, that's his problem. It's not yoru problem. What is your problem is how you respond to it. Also I need him to remember what he told Katie when he met her which was "I"m not Benny."

I need Stella and Kelly to have an informative talk about starting a family and if Stella wants to wait whic is in her right, I need them to talk about how it would work. And when they do get pregnant I need it to be healthy. I read in some place where they said this baby with couple has to be different and the article said that maybe Stella is going to find she's going to be a bad mom or not good at it. No I don't need that. I think any new paretns are goign to be hesitant and considerint thier relationsips to thier respective paretns, that's goignt o be hard on them and make kelly and stella wonder if they are doing things wrong.

I need them to have normal married drama, As someone elsesaid I need Stella to acknowlege and be okay with the fact that she's had a messed up life. (LIke in my story i'm having her acknowlege she was abused and it's not being sugarcoated)

Date night

Supporting each other

I need them to walk into shift togetehr, they don't even have to come in the same car if they have to go to Girls on Fire or the academy after shift but I would like them to walk into shift togerh. And I need him to do the little touches again. I feel like we didn't get a lot of little touches in season 12 or maybe it was so short. you know like when he holds onto her bag as they walk in

also I know we saw her sitting at his spot at squad table before they were married but Kelly wasn't around, I need her to do that and for everyone to look at her like squad , like why are you at his seat and then kelly to come up and not even move her he just grabs antoher chiar or someting and then squads all confused because he never lets anyone sit there. I would say pull her up and into his lap but maybe they shoudlnt since thye are leaders of the house now.

Stellaride S13 wishlist ✨️

1. I need that 10x19 closing scene & 10x20 opening scene level of vulnerability in their conversations around what haunts them.

2. Domestic scenes... I'll take grocery shopping, laundry, remodeling the loft something other than work & mollys 🫠😉

3. Interacting with a TON of kids. I want them to foster a newborn for like an episode or two. I need to see Stella & Kelly looking at each other while they interact with said newborn 🥹

4. Baby talk & planning please... you got this Stella Kidd

5. A positive pregnancy test by the end of the season. I really want misdeason, but I feel like they both have ALOT to work on individually & collectively, so I'll settle for season finale 😕

*****updating because how could I forget*****

6. Them actually saying I love you more

7. Anniversary acknowledgment...

8. Responding/solving a case together, but like it's something that happens while they're out and about, not necessarily on shift if that makes sense.

Assist Ukrainian Kids During the School Year

Children across Ukraine returned to school this September, but once again, their classrooms are far from normal. As the new school year begins, Ukrainian cities have experienced some of the worst attacks in recent months. Many children are now studying in bomb shelters, online, or in places far from their homes. For those who have been displaced internally, the school year brings even greater challenges as they continue to navigate life amidst the ongoing war.

How to Support Ukrainian Children in Need

You can help Ukrainian schoolchildren this fall by supporting various communities across the country as they face the challenges of war and continue their education.  These children need more than just school supplies—they need a sense of stability and hope.  By purchasing items from our Amazon Wishlist—backpacks, lunch boxes, educational materials, and comforting toys—you’ll ensure they have what they need to succeed throughout the school year. PURCHASE AN AMAZON WISHLIST ITEM

If you'd prefer, you can also donate directly to this effort, ensuring that these children have what they need to succeed, no matter where their classroom may be.

DONATE TODAY

Our Impact in Action: Brody, Lviv Region

Since 2014, UHU has supported the children of Brody, initially helping 21 kids from 13 families of helicopter pilots who were killed or wounded that year. Over the years, we’ve also provided aid to pilots in 2022 and Christmas presents during the holiday season.  Today, UHU continues to work with this community, supporting 45 school-age children who are adjusting to new realities as they work toward a successful school year. Now, through this project, we remain committed to helping these children thrive in their education, despite the ongoing war.

United Help Ukraine’s Humanitarian Aid Program supports internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other civilians with food, clean water (especially in besieged areas), and everyday necessities. In addition, UHU distributes power generators and vehicles for first responders and rescuers, which are donated in the U.S. and shipped to Ukraine. 

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, we have provided over $11.9 million in aid through this program. Learn more...

[stellariders]

i did a season 13 wishlist, stellaride edition so i thought i’d also do a season 13 wishlist, non-stellaride edition:

1. at least one episode where a call takes up the majority of the episode. maybe a mass casualty episode like the train derailment in season 2

2. more morning briefings with everyone and more scenes of everyone eating or just sitting in the common room.

3. we get to see more of cindy and chloe, and the kids

4. some type of event that requires everyone to get dressed, like a gala or dinner. and like a cfd like they had in season 7.

5. more fire related calls

6. we see kelly bond more with violet and form a good friendship with with cruz, herrmann, and maybe carver.

7. ritter gets more screentime (this was already confirmed that he will but i still wanted to add it)

8. damon and lizzy don’t get together and instead just become friends, like kelly and shay were.

9. cute brother scenes with damon and kelly

10. katie comes back

11. kelly gets storylines not about arson. and if we do get an arson case with kelly, that he does one with violet.

12. stella’s backstory and kelly being supportive. i really want to meet her aunt laverne and hear about what her parents were like.

13. we get to see boden

14. this is so random but i want another firehouse dog. i miss pouch and tuesday 😭

Figures that they finally come out with the nice fancy Thirteenth Doctor boxset two years later after forcing people’s hands to either get the barebones set (or individual seasons) with 0 features or the massive and expensive entire 9-13 collection because it looked like those were the only options there were gonna be. I know it’s been some time but if memory serves, the ones for Eleven and Twelve were released pretty darn quickly after their respective runs ended. After two years I really wasn’t anticipating that they were going to do one for her and went and bought the basic featureless set some time back. Sigh. Looks like I’m adding this to a Christmas wishlist.

Weekend WIP Around

so. i'm bad at responding to tag games at the best of times. and then i worked 11 days straight and lost all sense of time and space. but! ive had several days off now, my head is screwed on relatively straight again, so here we go. thanks to: @cha-melodius @three-drink-amy @inexplicablymine @affectionatelyrs @dumbpeachjuice @welcometololaland @celaestis1 @indomitable-love @14carrotghoul @rmd-writes @doggernaut @sherryvalli @kiwiana-writes @leaves-of-laurelin and @read-and-write- for the MANY tags over the last two weeks! have some words! 💜🦗

I'm using @welcometololaland's 20 question game for writers and artists (thanks Lola, this is so fun!)

1. WIP List: (from my "Active WIPs" folder otherwise we'd be here 5eva) Game Changer (Noise Boys) Tortall AU [FTH] rwrb assassination attempt AU [FTH] jon/alanna Tortall canon-divergence [FTH] an incomplete list series going platinum sequel jack's off-season wishlist series rwrb kiss-cam omgcp say yes to the dress au

2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest? Game Changer AU ~2.4k

3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest? eventually an incomplete list series since it has the most parts planned, but the going platinum sequel has more than a little potential to explode on me

4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why? I am SUPER enjoying writing the Game Changer AU right now, it's really fun coming up with all the prompts!

5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why? jon/alanna canon-divergence. hands down. it's not a pairing i usually seek out, and i want to write them believably, especially since it's for charity

6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why? see above.

7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why? probably everything on this list will get a beta pass, actually. kiss cam will depend on how long i end up making it/if it actually gets a whole plot XD

8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block? jon/alanna has less of a writer's block and more of a starting block, but i'm hopeful that once i figure out the plot the writing will come fairly easily. kiss-cam au I paused on purpose because i was writing The Mummy AU and Going Platinum at the same time and a third wip was driving me crazy.

9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them? none of them have OC's at this time

10. Which WIP is the sexiest? Going Platinum sequel 🤝 Jack's Off-Season Wishlist

11. Which WIP is the angstiest? rwrb assassination attempt AU, for obvious reasons

12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)? well, i hope all of them!

13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)? ditto from above

14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on? as of today, Game Changer Tortall AU

15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why? Going Platinum sequel. I cut a lot of ideas from the original fic because they didn't make sense with the hiding identities I had going on, so now that they're together, I'm really excited to figure out how alex's job (and henry's support of it) lets their relationship evolve and grow

16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs? not about any of these, but while I was writing the Mummy AU I watched the movie so frequently that I would regularly dream about that one.

17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don't? Going Platinum sequel - choreography complications since they still aren't showing their faces on the streams Game Changer Tortall AU - working within the framework of the show itself, possibly coding the whole thing to look like a script

18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour? Game Changer AU for sure.

19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process? not right now!

20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs. say yes to the dress au - Bitty as Randy, but it's a Nurseydex endgame fic AND a bonus snippet from the Game Changer Tortall fic to make up for all the 6/7 sentences/wip weds i've missed :D

“Tonight’s guests: coming in fresh from a shower: it’s Merric Hollyrose! Looking around for somewhere to tie his horse: Owen Jesslaw! Tallest, oldest, last – and certainly not happy about it – it’s Neal Queenscove! And your host, me! I’ve been here the whole time.” “Welcome to Gamechanger, the only game show where the game changes every show. I am your host, Kel Mindelan, and I’m joined today by these three lovely contestants. Now, you all understand how the game works?” Merric shakes his head. “Nope.”  “Haven’t the foggiest,” says Owen cheerful as always in the face of the unknown. “You haven’t explained a dratted thing.” Neal pouts and Kel feels the last wisps of nerves melt away in response. Kel knows how to do this – getting Neal to hit peak dramatically grumpy levels is as natural as breathing. She throws Neal a cheeky grin before turning back to the camera. “That’s right! Our players have no idea what game it is that they’re about to play. The only way to learn is by playing, the only way to win is by learning, and the only way to begin is by beginning, so without further ado – let’s begin.”

Consider this an open tag to play along!

[chicagofires]

my current wishlist for season 13 stellaride

-starting off with the obvious: a baby (no one is surprised)

-an actual you got this stella kidd because we haven’t gotten a real one season season 10

-supportive husband kelly during stella’s family storyline

-them being the best brother and sister-in-law ever to damon

-a hospital scene of course

-either of them to get therapy (this is the least likely one but andrea i’m begging)

this will probably change/be updated throughout hiatus but as of now it’s this!

[gorgxoxus]

My Wishlist for Bridgerton season 3 Part Two: (and did it come true)?

Spoilers ahead for the book/ whatever we’ve been fed by Netflix/ Shondaland:

In no particular order:

1. Pen and Eloise conversations/ makeup including all the stuff to do with Cressida pretending to be Lady Whistledown/ trying to get the bounty money. Eloise talking to Colin when he knows Pen is LW, and helping them come back to each other. Pen and Eloise hug (that will emotionally destroy me if it happens).

This was exactly right!!

2. A conversation or two between Pen and the Queen. Maybe even a Pen/ Colin asking Queen Charlotte for a quick marriage license that leads to some sort of LW conversation after Colin knows. Queen Charlotte giving Pen the choice to continue as LW, before any announcement to the ton.

Pen wrote a letter to The Queen telling her it was her and asked for an opportunity to speak. The Queen after hearing it, lets her continue!!!!! It was better than I predicted!

3. More Featherington sister and mother chaos/ comedy. The back half of the season will be stressful so I want them to break it up with whatever fun things they say/ get up to.

They had less scenes than I wanted them to! But Prudence getting upset about the attention on Pen actually broke my heart a little. Their ball that Pen bankrolled was amazing!

4. Colin’s love confession ‘I love you for our future and our past, the children we will have etc’

WE DIDNT GET THAT 😭. But the mirror scene, the multiple I love yous, and the speech at the end were amazing.

5. Mama Bridgerton getting courted and gardened. And whatever drama that will bring between Lady Danbury and Lady Bridgerton.

It was amazing to see her courted, I hope it continues. And Violet and Agatha had some of the nicest conversations in the whole season I loved it.

6. Will being able to keep his club

Unfortunately not

7. This is not a wish but a thought ‘is Pen going to stop because she’s engaged and that’s when the bounty goes out because she’s stopped writing for a few weeks or longer’?

The Queen is too petty, but she does stop for a bit because she is engaged.

8. When Pen and Colin have their fight when Colin finds out she’s LW, Pen grabs Colin for the kiss and we get gender swapped iconic Jess kiss. A second steamier carriage scene.

It was more of a classic kiss where they both go in, and its later. Also poor Pen asking where Colin is going, I believe he was out for a walk because in the book he loves them.

9. I know it may end with pregnancy at the end of season 3 because of the heir situation but ending the season with Pen and Colin going travelling

Just babies (the heir no less) but it was a pretty perfect ending.

10. Cressida finding out Pen is LW and confronting her. It’s such a good scene in the book. And Pen having to tell Colin about it and Colin being pissed because ‘it was bound to happen after you put out the pamphlet saying it wasn’t her after she confessed to be LW’

YES THIS WAS EVERYTHING.

11. Hyacinth saying something iconic about LW because she had some cracking lines in the book about her.

Nope, but she had some cracking lines about Gregory.

12. Colin being stressed about Pen writing letters.

This didn't go anywhere, why was it said?

13. So many frank discussions between Pen and Colin because I trust Shondaland to deliver emotional, long, beautiful discussions between the main characters. And even between Pen and Eloise.

Colin and Pen had less conversation than I expected, but Pen gave it good to Colin when he was angry about Whistledown. I loved her speeches about what she wrote, her power she gets from it and that she stood on her two feet and said she wanted to continue. Pen and Eloise had amazing conversations, they are both powerful and smart women.

14. Colin declaring his love and intentions and care for Penelope to Lady Featherington.

YES! GREAT SCENE!! NO NOTES.

15. Colin delicately getting Pen down from the carriage at the start of episode 5 because I hate that she fell in the book because he was so fast and aggressive at getting her down. Colin and Pens discussion as they walk towards Bridgerton house where Pen is like wtf and says something about accepting the proposal. And when the get to Pen and Colin’s new house, a proper kneeled proposal with the ring.

We didnt see her get out of the carriage, but I'm taking it as show canon that she didnt fall. There is no discussion and Pen looks so stressed. The ring scene happens at Featherington house and is not kneeled, but is so cute.

16. Pen and Colin in Colin’s room or Pen’s room

NO! but that's ok.

17. Francesca’s wedding and introduction to Micheal.

YES!! MICAELA STERLING I DIED! IT WAS PERFECT. NO NOTES. SO EXCITED FOR WHATS TO COME THERE.

18. Something queer happening with Eloise and Cressida and a continue of their friendship despite all the bounty storyline’s and how messy that will become. Cressida and Lord Debling?

I didn't like the route they took Cressida, I hope we see her again. You can have Peneloise and Creloise, i'm sure of it.

19. A conversation between Lord Debling and Penelope (I think I’ve seen a spoiler that this is happening) where he congratulates her on getting what she always wanted. Imagine if things didn’t happen between Colin and Pen the carriage and Debling pulled out of the proposal. That would’ve been so scandalous for Penelope and the Featheringtons if she didn’t get a proposal at all.

Lord Debling dipped!

20. Masquerade ball in episode 8 and introduction to Sophie.

There was a mention of the Masquerade ball to come!

21. LW continues, and ideally I don’t want a ton announcement at the ball by Colin like in the book? But we’ll see. Something in the epilogue that tells the audience about the future of LW.

YOURS TRULY, PENELOPE BRIDGERTON. IS NICOLA/ PEN GOING TO NARRATE THE STORY NOW?!!! Also, I love that she ended her letters to Colin Yours Truly, Penelope that is so cute.

22. Colin’s journals, Pen reading more of Colin’s journey, the beginning of writer Colin and published Colin?

No scenes of her reading the journals in part two (she did mention it once or twice), but we did start to see writer Colin and published Colin.

So much shit is going to go down!! I’m so excited.

[justapillowpetpanda]

My Wishlist

[sailingfireshipz]

Kelly Severide S13 Wishlist:

1. I want Kelly to figure out his relationship with Damon & work through whatever feelings this may bring to the surface from Benny. I want this shit put to bed for once & for all.

2. I need Kelly to figure out what he wants his legacy to be & I need it to be not contingent on him trying to spite his dad from the grave! I want a legitimate reason as to why he doesn't want to be captain because not wanting a desk job & paperwork aren't going to cut it for me. Especially since OFI is quite literally both of those things compounded.

3. I want to see his emotional intelligence continue to grow. We saw some amazing flashes of it in S12.... let's build that up. It was so thoughtful for him to recognize how a baby would be more of an impact on Stella's career.

4. Skill up, Joe.... I know he trusts Joe to lead squad 3, but I want to see that bond grow. One of my favorite underrated scenes from S12 was the finale when Kelly & Joe were at the squad table filling out reports. More of that, please 🙏🏽

5. I know a lot of people don't like OFI, but I really want a badass arson villain that torments the city of Chicago....I want it to be one of those villains you love to hate but have to respect because they act the part so damn good.

October 2023

(Series: Fate/Strange Fake | Artist: Shizuki Morii)

The fall season is packed with interesting shows and I've ended up watching more series than I usually would. I'm behind on a few of them but I'm trying to let myself be okay with that. I haven't watched any new JJK episodes since the last update. I'll catch up to it eventually but I'm waiting until I hear that Nobara and Maki have had some quality screen time. I also have nothing new to say about Pokemon Horizons. It's still a delight that I look forward to watching every week. As for everything else...

After-school Hanako-kun (2 eps) - a gag spin-off of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun. I enjoyed the original Hanako a lot so I was looking forward to seeing the return of the characters but I haven't enjoyed this one much so far. I don't think I've laughed once so far which is not a good thing a series of shorts focused on comedy. At least the episodes are only 10 minutes long but I'm disappointed that this isn't better.

Dead Mont Death Play Part II (2 eps) - I enjoyed the first half of DMDP but I can't say the return of it has impressed me much yet. It's fine but I'm not really intrigued by any of the new plot points or characters and I'm struggling to remember what I enjoyed about the first half.

Frieren (7 eps) - really good and worth every bit of the hype. I love this exploration of the elf character and how an elf would view time and relationships differently to how humans view them. The fantasy world is so beautiful, the story is engaging, and I love the characters. Probably my favourite show of the season so far.

I'm in Love with the Villainess (4 eps) - I've read the first 4 volumes of the manga for this and the light novel has been of my wishlist for a long time so I was excited about it getting an anime adaptation and it's good so far. I mostly have the same thoughts on the anime as I do on the manga: the character drama is really engaging but the world building is meh. But the anime does bring something new the table with some amazing voice acting. Yuu Serizawa and Karin Nanami are perfectly cast for Rae and Claire, respectively, and make all their interactions even more fun to witness. Some gags that I didn't find funny at all in the manga made me laugh in the anime due to the impeccable comedic timing. The animation is a bit disappointing at times but it's such a fun ride that I can't be too mad.

Spy x Family 2nd season (3 eps) - Spy x Family is back and it's still really good. Like with the first season, I don't love all of the plotlines but the ones that are good are really good. This show is comforting and I'm glad it's back.

The Ancient Magus' Bride Season 2 Part II (4 eps) - while I thought the first part of this season set up a lot of good intrigue, it's in this second part that I'm starting to get really engaged in the character drama and story. I'm so invested in what's going to happen with Philomela and I'm excited every week for the new episodes. It also helps that the OP this time is incredible. In a season with a lot of strong openings, it may be my favourite.

As we are getting closer to the holiday season, I thought it might be nice to share links to cartoon merchandise I've seen floating around. I use a lot of the websites listed for gift-giving inspiration or to fill up any wishlists that friends and family ask me for. I've tried to keep most things on this list under $50, and most items are on clearance or discounted heavily.

Please support your local record shops, book stores, and comics stores! It's likely they can ship in some of the items on this list for you instead of you ordering them online. I'm putting this list together for those who may not have access to those resources, or who might be looking for a very specific thing that is out of stock in retail spaces.

You can find Pt. 2 of the list here, where I share links to plushies, clothing, accessories, dinnerware, prints and more.

NOTE: I am not affiliated with any of the stores linked under the read more. I'm just someone who watches a lot of TV and reads a lot of books and likes to celebrate that by buying merch every now and then.

Last minute (probably very wrong) theories (this is a wishlist, really) about The Bad Batch season two before it finally arrives:

1. Plan 99 is a plan that requires everyone on the team, but it’s not one they already have in their arsenal. It’s a plan Omega comes up with for whatever it is they’re doing in that last episode.

2. Hunter and Echo fight—really fight—and, like a lot of people on here, I think Echo will leave the team for a while. But only for an episode or two.

3. Echo and Crosshair have to team up while Echo’s off doing his own thing, and even though things start out reeeaaaaal tense, they end up discussing 99 at some point and it becomes a catalyst for both of them to go back to the gang. Echo goes back before Crosshair, though.

4. Tech starts racing to make money for the family after they have to leave Cid’s for reasons I’m guessing might happen in episode two. He ends up maybe pushing himself too hard and crashes. (He’s okay, though.)

5. So, you know how back in episode twelve of last season Crosshair requests permission to hunt the batch down and then we don’t see him do that? What if we did? What if the whole thing with Gregor was a trap? What if Crosshair, unbeknownst to either Rex or Gregor, put Gregor in contact with Rex so that Rex would send the Batch so that he, Crosshair, could catch the Batch and have his whole big “join the empire” presentation on Kamino? What if we find out he set that whole mission on Daro up this season, and then at some point he starts putting other clones in contact with Rex again, but sincerely this time? To get clones out from the empire instead of as a trap? What if that’s a thing?

6. “The Outpost” is an Echo episode and takes place on the Rishi Outpost.

7. Omega runs off at one point, not to run away, but because there’s something she thinks needs to be done and Hunter won’t agree to let her do it. So she goes and does it anyway. This may involve trying to rescue Gungi.

8. The show actually gets into the fact that the clones were part of a slave army and addresses how badly they’ve been treated please. Bonus points if it’s Echo putting two and two together.

9. We get a glimpse of Lasan.

10. Wrecker calls out the whole team on something and is one-hundred percent right about it.

11. No one in the batch dies.

12. Cody, on the other hand, does.

13. Crosshair spends the bulk of the season either away from the empire or still technically inside the empire but working against it from the inside. Mostly out of spite at first, but for better reasons afterwards. He doesn’t totally get back together with the rest of the batch until the very, very end, though, and then it might only be temporarily until next season.
