#with minor season 3 spoilers

Out of Time (~12K Words)

How the return of the Inferna Copula could have gone, if Jim had had some access to brain cells and that tidbit of information in season 3 had been integrated into the show. Or alternatively, if Angor Rot had been treated as the narrative foil to Jim that he actually was.

So I got into Trollhunters, and sure, I am biased, but I will die on the hill that Angor Rot's potential was wasted just to have an easy end of season villain. So I've put him in the soup, and 12K of this was born.

Tumblr exclusive note: Remember when I said I'm very normal about trollhunters? Yeah, this is what I've been up to since barely posting again for the past week <3

Ive never been happier that I'm only on tumblr I've been discussing the new season of Bridgerton with my friends and one of them said "Yeah and people are being so shitty towards the Benedict and francesca reveal" and my reaction was what people??? I've literally seen nothing but excitement at which point they reminded me that twitter and tiktok still exist

I just want the viewers that are into the show but not necessarily into soccer/football to know that there are No out players in the men’s premier league. There are no out players in Any of the top men’s leagues. That’s what Colin as a character is facing in that universe.

[echo-and-dust]

now that my brain has somewhat unscrambled itself i have gotten most of my thoughts in order about season 3.

and the first thing i will say is: i loved it.

while it was gutwrenching and polarizing in some ways and i feel that i am entitled to financial compensation for what its done to my mental health, i loved this season for pretty much almost everything it did.

i cannot fault people for having issues with much of the characterization and plot choices made—that’s been the trend during the entire run of the show after all, and imo it’s a testament to the phenomenal way it generates nuance—but i wanted to share my feelings on the recurring opinions i’ve seen about some of these things.

first, i do not blame simon at all for the things he said in the final scene. he’s a child who has been receiving endless verbal and physical harassment on top of all the trauma he is still trying to heal from. he just watched his boyfriend lash out in anger and hurt—while not at him, but it must’ve been a close resemblance of how he might’ve seen micke act. at least, that's what i thought, though i've seen others say otherwise.

and yes, wille is not micke, but just because wille’s source of outbursts is different from micke’s doesn’t mean simon is wrong in drawing similarities. at least he's finally getting a true glimpse into what wille has had to deal with. i've honestly grown to like that they didn't have simon immediately comfort him though; wille's mental illness is not his fault, but it is his responsibility, and instead of pushing a message of unhealthy co-dependence, the show has simon be honest: "but i see that everything hurts you and that hurts me too." and to me, that's so important.

plus, it doesn't make their love any less genuine. wille is a victim of the circumstances; he is not evil, and he is not undeserving of simon. he just has a lot of growing and healing to do, a lot of unlearning and exposure therapy because he's still blinded by privilege even when he tries not to be.

speaking of, i have so many thoughts about wille that i feel like i need to save for its own separate post, but to sum them up: i'll still defend him with my life, and he needs to get the fuck away from that institution.

also, the fact that the responsibility of controlling simon's media decisions was placed solely on wille confused me at first like—why wouldn't they get a professional to give him proper media training?

then i realized, this could be the royal court's way of sabotaging their relationship. they knew that making wille the one to tell simon what he can and cannot say or post would create distance and animosity between them. despite the ramifications of simon's behavior on social media, it seems they still thought it best to have his boyfriend be the one to try to mold him into the system. because they knew that's how they could get rid of him. in conclusion, fuck the royal court (we been knew but still).

one of the standouts this season was their transparency regarding the show's politics. it not only works well with the show's arc (wilmon is public, everything's out in the open now and there's nothing to hide), but also it felt necessary at a time where censorship has been rapidly gaining momentum. it felt so refreshing for these characters to talk so openly about racial discrimination and queerphobia and class disparities, forcing both character and viewer to acknowledge that they exist and you should feel uncomfortable about it.

i don't think i can add much more to what was already said about it—most of the fandom is more eloquent and observant than i am anyway—i just wanted to reinforce how important this season is to myself and the story even with how controversial it is to fans right now. a lot of people may disagree with me and that's fine.

Jon: Seasons 1-3

[soularsss]

I am curious to see how they resolve this in the final episode? All these episodes have been like 20 minutes long and I personally feel like there’s not gonna be much time for them to tie up all their loose ends

clone show.. i need a clone show..

i cant lie i’ve been waiting for something to HAPPEN in the past few episodes and the fact that the climax is being reserved completely for the finale is kinda bothering me? usually i feel like the final few episodes begin to culminate suspense but the past few bad batch episodes have felt relatively low on the suspense meter, an exception to that is the final MINUTE of episode 13

I am interested in seeing what the finale is going to be like and i am probably going to cry!!!

(i say this but season 3 has still been my favorite by far, i just wanted to yap a little)

... I think it's unfair, your situation ...

[user-without-a-cool-acronym]

Honestly love this set, the only part i dislike from what we see here are those storm pieces at the back. They‘re really cool on their own and fit great into the other sets they‘re in but here they just… don‘t… their shape doesn‘t fit with the rest, literally no part of their colours fits with the rest, not even their placement really seems to fit with the rest. Kind of hoping they‘re like those energy pieces on some of the elemental mechs and not actually part of the jet in the show, only a visual representation of its visual effects

“you look cute ❤️” OH MY FUCKING GOD IMOHAR REAL

The carriage scene is actually so unserious.

Like, who decided to put PITBULL in a spicy scene of a regency(?) drama series. It is so out of pocket, It's actually hilarious.
