#I LOVE THAT FOR HIM

[moon-ayyye]

People constantly ask how Jason managed to pull his current significant other, and he always blue screens because. He didn't. They pulled him. That man has NEVER made the first move. Couldn't flirt for shit even when he was with Rena. Just stumbles his way into relationships with 10's who could break his spine

i just read this line in a fic that said 'he doesn't think beyond sam' and bro. bro. that line—that’s literally the thesis statement of the entire damn show. like forget all the lore, forget heaven and hell and purgatory and god's weird little power trips. at the end of the day, it's just dean winchester with one (1) brain cell and it's shaped like sam.

like dean wakes up? thinks about sam. makes a decision? sam. goes to sleep? probably dreaming about sam dying and him failing to save him again. it’s always sam. his reason to fight, his reason to fall apart, his entire worldview is just sam-shaped.

he really built his whole identity around protecting sam. like you remove sam from the equation and dean is just standing there like a sims character whose last command got deleted. nothing else computes. he doesn’t know how to want things for himself, or think about the future unless it’s “me and sam in the Impala forever.”

sam is his purpose, his burden, his anchor, his cross to bear, his moral compass, his everything. it’s so much. he’s wrapped up in this constant loop of sam-worship and self-destruction and honestly? it’s tragic. and also insane. and also a little bit beautiful in a twisted soulmate-core way.

dean winchester does not have thoughts. he has sam. and that’s the show. that’s it. that’s supernatural.

"This Whole Situation"

Rise Ramblings #1

So as you guys know, one occurring phrase in the show between the boys and April is “This whole situation.” Although vague, and used in many other contexts, sometimes the family uses the phrase to refer to their mutations.  

However, once finishing the series it’s hard to miss that Donnie never says the phrase. Now, I could be wrong (and If I am, just comment and let me know!) but I have a theory as to why Donnie doesn’t say it… Donnie never says “this whole situation” because in his mind, there IS no situation.

The Evidence:

I started noticing something interesting about Donnie’s state of mind about himself.

He never really expresses that he’s different from other people, he’s just…him. Obviously, he knows that he’s a mutant, but it’s not something at the front of his mind. I associate it to if someone has a certain attribute, that person is just that, a person first. I believe it’s the same for Donnie. He’s a person, that just so happens to be a mutant turtle, and I live for it.

What made me solidify my theory was the use of disguises in Rise, specifically the use of disguises in April’s school.

All of the boys have visited April’s school, and all of them decided to wear disguises, except Donnie.

He just shows up in his regular clothing. One could argue that the hoodie is his disguise, but then why did the rest of the boys wear actual (silly) disguises while our boy Donnie is just like, “Hoodie? Check.” And not only that, but for the whole episode, all eyes are on him, and he just. Doesn’t. Care. It’s glorious!

Later, in the episode Donnie vs. Witch Town, we see that Donnie showing up all willy-nilly pell-mell at April’s school was not a one-time thing. It’s literally been happening for years!

Therefore, I believe that canonically Donnie doesn’t care about “this whole situation.” And if someone does, as far as he’s concerned that’s their problem, not his.

The Lighting Department is Top Form

Even though the show didn't give Johnny the fate I think he deserved, I appreciate that Jin walked into the play at the exact moment Johnny's character was begging for his life surrounded by (Akin's) blue.

Because the theater was made up of Johnny's red and Jin's green, as if it was battle between them for Akin.

Then, in the play, Akin's character lost the fight to Johnny's character surrounded by Johnny's red.

However, in the play, Akin's character, in blue, tells Johnny's character, who is in red, that "Revenge solves nothing; it only deepens the wound" and if we hold onto our anger, we "will carry the weight of hatred forever" with the tiniest barrier between them.

And we see Akin surrounded, once again, by his blue as he tearfully looks at Jin.

And Jin sees the light. This message is to him. His hatred for Johnny is clouding his love for Akin.

So even though there are clear barriers between Johnny and Jin, he asks to sit down and chat with him.

And for such a dark bar, the lighting is actually quite bright.

Until the exact moment Jin stops bullshitting with Johnny, and subtly threatens him. Jin becomes dark.

And although he lightens up as he leaves to see Akin, he looks at Johnny with an air of darkness remaining and basically tells him he is "lucky" to be working with Akin because that is the only thing saving him. He is telling Johnny that he is not ruining Johnny's entire fucking life because that would mean Akin's play would have issues.

Then, Jin steps completely into the darkness and tells Johnny that if he does it again, he "won't let him go next time."

Jin will be the darkness for Akin, who has been sitting in his own dark hole since Jin left him in the parking garage.

So when Jin shows up at Akin's apartment, Akin is sitting in darkness ready to break it off with Jin.

But once Jin tells him that he has nothing to apologize for and has him listen to what Johnny said, Akin's world brightens.

And Akin is back in his color.

Jin is a chill Green Guy for Akin who will always brighten his world.

But he has proven several times that he is capable of much worse when pushed.

Which is why I love the angel wings. I know they are carryover from the source material, but they work even better here knowing just how dark Jin can get so it feels like Jin is only an angel for Akin because even his darkness is what Akin needs.

And he will be the constant barrier between Johnny and Akin there to remind Johnny of what he promised him at that bar — that would be the first and last time he messed with Akin.

So even though the narrative seems to have forgiven the "Ass," (Donkey), the lighting department wasn't so easy on him because the threat of Jin is clear as the darkness surrounds him.

Akin wrote to his grandmother on blue paper about how much he loves Jin. He wrote it in his color that he found the person who makes his world complete.

Because when Jin whispers in Akin's ear, there is light in his words compared to when he threatened Johnny in that bar.

And he'll always be there to take care of his drunk boyfriend.

So Jin is Akin's angel because he is more than willing to be the devil to everyone else.

Jin isn't a golden retriever.

He's a hellhound.

Been watching sooooo much say yes to the dress so.....

Steve and Robin are consultants and co-designers at Kleinsfeld. Robin especially loves designing and Steve really loves that moment brides find The Dress because they light up and he helped make that happen and it just makes him smile

Enter Eddie Munson, rockstar and definitely not in a relationship but at Kleinsfeld to find a dress he can wear for an upcoming music video that's a little corpse bride vibes re revenge and murder (dead bride raised by necromancer and given opportunity to get revenge on her killer ex)

Eddie shows up with the guys and Steve/Robin are their consultants (they can't be separated bad things happen like Robin knocking over a rack of dresses bc Steve isn't there to pull her back in time) and when Steve (knows who Eddie is, doesn't care that much, they get celebrities all the time) asks who the bride is neither blink at Eddie raising his hand with a shit eating grin

They just go right into the design/style/budget questions and Eddie is almost disappointed he didn't get to cause more of a scene lmao

Anyway Steve is the one helping in the dressing room and he's getting Eddie into this big dramatic ballgown when Eddie asks why he's a consultant

Steve inadvertently just rambles about helping brides and making them feel the center of attention and cared for and special during their appointments. He also talks about designing affordable but fashionable dresses with Robin since he has experience with high fashion and general design and she knows best about keeping costs down without making things ugly

Obviously Eddie Munson is immediately heart eyes listening to this guy describe all of this while expertly lacing a ballgown corset and getting clips in place so it fits right and before he knows it Steve is leading him to where Robin and the band are waiting

The guys are immediately all giving Looks (derogatory) but can't describe what's wrong until Robin looks at Eddie and asks if he's adverse to negative feedback

Eddie is like "???? No, I guess???"

And is just even more confused when Robin goes, "No. Really, think about it."

So when he says it's fine Robin pushes Steve forward and tells him to let loose. Eddie is surprised cuz Steve is so sweet? How could he possibly be mean? And then Steve just holds nothing back like "the color washes you out, that beading makes your chest look uneven, the ballgown is actually a horrible silhouette on you because you just look uncomfortable having so much dress hanging off you"

And he says it all with this little popped out hip and slightly pursed mouth and raised eyebrow and it's so so bitchy and Eddie is fucking in love okay, he's gone, he needs to make fun of other people with Steve immediately

But also he's a gremlin so he's like "can a guy even look good in a wedding dress tho, like, does it matter?"

And Robin immediately jumps in like "of course it does you plebian especially if you want the music video to be any good"

This leads to Eddie and the guys not believing them so Robin and Steve share A Look and they do love proving people wrong so they're both like "bet" and tell Eddie to wait there

Cue them grabbing a sample dress (click to see what I'm thinking literally this is such a pretty dress holy shit) from their collection, putting Steve in it, and then showing it off

Eddie is dead. Immediately. Steve's arms? His legs? His chest? His confident little smirk as he spins in front of them?? 4 braincells dead and 28 injured in Eddie’s head

Anyway he literally ends up on his knees begging Steve to be in the music video, Steve agrees cuz he thinks Eddie is hot and funny, and CC fans lose their shit over the bride and his dress in the music video, especially when he and Eddie kiss at the end after the revenge murdering

Jason's unhinged ass would fake killing himself as a Litmus test to see if his family cares about him because that's easier than a conversation

One of my dear friends is a tall, beanpole lumberjack lookin’ man. He’s 6’4” and entirely legs.

He also has the grace of a newborn foal, so if he happens to slip on ice, trip, or lose his balance enough to succumb to gravity’s pull, this man falls for five to seven business days and is a flailing Looney Toons blur of scrambling limbs and startled yelping before he eventually hits the ground.

And when I look at Emmrich’s character model, and I see that his legs alone are like… 30 apples tall, I just know deep down that if this graceful, poised, elegant man slipped on a puddle of blight goo and went down, it would probably be the funniest fucking sight known to man.
