what's really cool about fantasy high is that you can tell the intrepid heroes are actually shocked and confused and betrayed by stuff. like, it would be easy for them to sort of pretend to not know things in order to keep the pace and brennan's planned battles and whatever but with the way he honors when they actually figure things out just makes me trust that it's genuine. his "no rolls necessary, you just said the exact thing" help to prove it's all real mystery solving. and especially the very end of the episode storm reveal like. it's not as if they were lazy or weren't paying attention, adaine has been receiving visions of fabian's birthday the whole time, she thought to text aelwyn to ward the house, they were told that the cloud-rider could lift the hangman earlier that episode! the clues were there. they just truly honestly didn't put them together until the last possible moment as riz figured it out. idk what I'm trying to say I just think brennan crafts incredibly clever mysteries and you can feel the investment in the players when they theorize and the genuine shock when things are revealed. I'm just really glad it feels real.

honestly every time i remember buck is canonically bi and is dating a man now i get so 😳😳😳 about it. like in our fandom sphere it's easy to say he's been bi-coded for years and joke with all the "wbk"s but i genuinely think people are missing what a gamble it was for ABC to pick up a show from another network and go this route with a main character that the majority of the audiences wasn't as percipient about.

buck's case is so singular imo because there are still certain - silent - rules to queer rep in mainstream media. the audiences are almost always clued-in on a character being queer early, for example. it's either shown immediately or mentioned in conversation in those first few scenes/eps the characters are established. if a character is not out, then they are not out to the rest of the characters, not the audience. if a character doesn't know they're queer yet - or ready to accept it - again, the audience knows, the story/foreshadowing is clear about it.

i can't think of a single other example where a main character - who's been nominally straight for multiple seasons - realizes they're queer later in life like this. where it wasn't planned beforehand, wasn't an explicitly or intentionally threaded storyline, wasn't just a one-liner saying "oh yeah ofc he kissed men before" ofc i didn't watch all television ever created in the history of television but i genuinely think this was such a pioneering writing choice mainstream tv hasn't done before. i wish we could all have been more happy with it instead of *gestures* all this.

“this is why is a rock album” im not 100% sure on that one “paramore winning best rock album of the year against like. metallica. is epic” this we cannot possibly refute

rereading orv, i can totally see kdj being an annoyance on purpose and on accident to yjh

yjh literally went from trying to kill kdj to just watching to see if he'd live or die to trying to keep him alive cuz he keeps running toward death

also kdj collects anomalies like candy, from ysa (olympus's incarnation) to lgy (forgotten evil's incarnation) to jhw (judge of evil + absolute good) and they're all super attached to kdj and hostile to yjh in different levels

not to mention how kdj stole one companion and killed another and is in the process of corrupting the only one he has left

kdj also has uriel wrapped around his pinky and lots of important constellations plus the dokkaebis in the palm of his hand so yjh really can't off kdj unless he's able to handle the backlash

and let's not forget kdj's mom who totally wants to kill yjh for being a “bad influence” on her son when in yjh's pov it's the other way around???

tl;dr is that kdj is a chronic pain in yjh's ass

I love when wrestlers cut up their shirts. Cut em into crop tops. Into tank tops. Cut tassles. Just random holes. A wrestler with a t shirt without some kind of alteration is evil to me.

just found out that this character from toontown (her name is gatekeeper) is a girl. this is a huge win for the based female character design community

I'm tryna come up with a cute nickname for Shen Jiu and one that doesn't involve 'Jiu'. Anyone's got ideas? I've come out of the woodwork to finally start writing a fic yippee

It's a BingJiu fic where both of them are around the same age and are childhood sweethearts. I've already come up with a nickname that SJ uses for LBH, which is Xiao Lian, meaning little lotus. SJ only uses it in his head, but LBH will definitely pester him with his nickname and use it everywhere!

i mean this in genuinly the best way possible, but buck and eddie from 911 are literally what made me realize i am definitley and completely a lesbian

i want to explain my mental illnesses to robin and have him like nod and grunt along while i talk and then hum really sagely and give some beautiful touching life advice like "brain not bad just.. different. I've seen a lot of people. we all different. world would be big boring if everyone was the same. you just better at some things and worse at other things. that why we all work together, help each other. sometimes you fight mammoth and sometimes you stay in cave with babies. it all come out in the wash."

thinking about iwtv being an explicitly supernatural story with a striking absence of metaphor and bs essentially being a straight historical drama where metaphor is so powerful it becomes supernatural

yknow what i love about the fish scene? its not really all that important to the plot. like they didn’t need to give that to us. but they did. and i love them.

okay pause on phone people posting to do some Rhinedottir Posting ™

I think that while all of the Five Sinners are generally around the same level of unhingement and gray morality, Rhinedottir was just Like That even before taking a dunk in the Eldritch and Forbidden. I think it's kinda funny.

"That's Surtalogi, he basically invented lycanthropy and has a pet multidimensional narwhal that eats French people, that obelisk over there is Vedrfolnir, the single greatest visionary to kinda-live, capable of restoring sentience to the cursed, and the lady over there is Rhinedottir, a revolutionary alchemist and she, uh... Yeah these days she's mostly printing flying dismembered dogs. No idea why. She's not even taking care of them, or of any other thing she ever made for that matter. Yeah, she made a bunch of her clones and dumped most of them into a vat of acid. No idea why, something about them not being good enough. Oh yeah no, that was before our country was nuked. I don't know what's her deal and honestly at this point I'd keep it that way. Anyways, that guy over there is Rerir and he uhhhhhhh-"
