"Yeah i'm excited to go see the new John wick- ballerina movie tomorrow! The plot looks so good"

The plot in question:

me logging onto tumblr after consuming a new piece of media

[s1eepyg1rl]

Me opening up obey me after playin ArcanaTwilight:

[s1eepyg1rl]

I relied on romantic maladaptive daydreaming for survival as a child, and have been love sick ever since

[s1eepyg1rl]

They never explained why Jennifer was inside a giant squid or why she had such a visceral reaction to seeing it again

[s1eepyg1rl]

The thing that gets me this season is that everything felt like it was designed specifically for the plot.

Need an excuse for Five and Lila to bond? Time travelling metro they get stuck in for 7 years (what plot did it serve?)

Alison needs to save Kalus? She gives herself super strength (?) And telekinesis (?) (Her rumours would have worked just as well and stayed true to her character, been more impactful even as we know she's more cautious about rumours now)

Heck, they even needed an excuse to force Klaus to regain his powers so they shot him (predictable as shit)

Everything felt so manufactured and easy. Too easy, too clean, there was no real struggle to get to where they wanted to be. It all felt fake in a way it shouldn't have.

what’s messed up is the emphasis on what a fuck up / loser diego was. without his super powers he has no aim/decades of training disappeared. he’s so bad at adjusting to normal life he can’t even deliver packages without being the worst employee. he pisses in bottles and complains about his in laws and gets bored living in suburbia. the fat jokes. but he was TRYING. he was HONEST. he pulled lila aside multiple times asking how they could fix things, what he could do, trying to impress her and trying to be the man he thought she wanted (the version she met). the show tried to paint him as such a cringe fail when it was really the people who would betray someone they supposedly loved

things I thought we would get in tua4:

- sloane

- maybe a mention of dave

- a happy ending

- unbreakable family bonds

things we actually got:

- baby shark on a loop

- graphic vomiting

- lila × five for some fucking reason

!!Umbrella Academy S4 SPOILERS!!

Honestly, the Lila x Five plotline devastated me when I was watching it because of Aidan Gallagher's phenomenal acting. I don't think people are fully grasping how long 7 years is, nor the fact that for these 7 years, all they have been doing is hopping from one train to another over and over again. All they had was each other's company. I think that there is great potential for a story such as this to be heartbreaking and beautiful.

But not for these characters.

As a standalone, sure. But this goes against everything that's been established about these characters, especially Five. I cannot for the life of me imagine a 64 year old man with his set of characteristics ever go for his brother's wife. You can argue that this is just like him and Dolores: that he finds love in his only other companion, no matter how dubious the circumstances. But this is the man who fought tooth and nail living in the apocalypse for over 50 years just for the chance to get back to his family. Consistently, that has been Five's motivation for the past few seasons.

Do I think it's fair for people to say "how could he be a homewrecker after just a few years with her?" Given the circumstances, I don't think so. Imagine how hopeless the situation feels fighting to survive in a liminal space for 7 years with only one companion. I'd imagine they didn't think they could make it out. That becomes your new normal. They had it rough.

But "the Five we know would have never done this" is a 100% valid criticism with the writing.

What I thought of TUA season 4

(Just my opinion pls no hate n if ppl wanna talk Abt it I would love to)

SPOILERS AHEAD

1. Victor FINALLY having it out on reggie

That was fucking amazing all those years of pent up exhaustion and aggression towards Reginald has finally come out and it was just beautiful to watch tbh

2. Ben and Jennifer

THIS HAD ME IM NGL I LOVED IT SO MUCH I love how through all the timelines there’s ALWAYS them, I was picking up on it throughout the season and it was just amazing, I loved that, I am a hopeless romantic so I was all there for it even tho it did destroy everything

3. Paralells

there were so many parallel’s throughout it from the previous seasons and just even the parallel of Jennifer knocking on the wall to Ben bro It just had me, I also love how the violin was still a theme throughout it through Abigail and the music during certain scenes, also having I think were alone now as the ending song was absolutely amazing although it was a different version/cover I loved that they used it in the first and last episode

4. PLOT TWISTS

BENS DEATH WAS CRAZY, had me and my best friend GASPING I’ve spent years theorising over how he died and I NEVER ONCE thought of Reginald being the case

ALSO ABIGAIL (reggies wife) ended up being on the opposite side which was insane. The way she also let lose on Reginald in the skin of gene was hilarious

5. Lila and Five

Just gonna say this first, I DIDNT LIKE IT. Even though as disgusting as it looks (due to fives body being younger) Lila and five makes sense as Lila said it was survival and they thought that they weren’t ever going to find a way back however five hiding the journal and way home from Lila just to have a relationship with her when she’s HIS BROTHERS WIFE is CRAZY I hate how they made him the bad guy in the end when it came to Lila and Diego and I did hate how they ruined Diego and Lila’s relationship for that :(

The fact they both genuinely fell in love tho is just crazy and tbh I never knew how to feel whenever it was on the screen however klaus, Allison and Luther were HILARIOUS at the confrontation scene.

6. TUA growing up!

Content of the kids FINALLY

IVE WAITING SO LONG FOR THERE TO BE MORE SCENES OF TUA AS KIDS ANS WE FINALLY GOT IT! I loved seeing them interact with each other and also showing that viktor wasn’t CONPLETELY alone growing up as he and Ben had a friendship, it also shows how klaus and Alison’s friendship has been deep rooted since they were young

7. Allison EATING

Allison was HORRIFIC in season 3 as we all know due to her crisis(?) but this season she was such a boss bitch and I actually lived for it icl the way she put reggie in his place and also helped klaus so much it was beautiful

8. The last episode!

The last episode was very Rick and Morty esq. but I loved it, it was so sad but so good and although it felt a bit rushed and I WISH they had more seasons coming they ended it off so well and with the 8 marigold flowers growing at the END END it was just beautiful and also kinda made me think like what if there is more? (Even tho there’s not :() also having all of the characters at the end such as the triplets from season 2, the commission workers, hazel and Agnes, the handler, grace, it was just all amazing and left me speechless

I actually can’t believe it over tho, they did so well with all of it and I love it so much.

Ofc this is all my opinion and I can’t wait to hear what other ppl think cuz honestly there’s so much to debrief and talk Abt it was also rly funny but honestly I loved it.

One of my favorite things in Bones is how annoyed Bones gets when she reaches the crime scene and finds out that there's still flesh on the body

"I was promised a skeleton, this is a meat corpse, my whole thing is skeletons. why did you skeleton-bait me?"

calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.
