Kinda unpopular opinion:

I think Trevor is most at blame for the fact that he and Hetty aren’t together at the moment. He has a habit of exploding and saying things without thinking, in order to keep himself guarded (we saw him do this big time in the Shelley episode). It’s kind of a recurring thing with him. Whenever he is hurt or nervous about being hurt, he walks away. He did that way back with the Nigel room situation, but then he calmed down and worked with Hetty on her level, realizing that she likely hadn’t had a guy who considered her needs, and she was very willing to compromise with him.

Hetty, for as far as she’s come, still has a habit of deferring to men in certain situations…especially when it comes to romantic things. She is very outspoken and no-nonsense in 90% of situations, but romance is still something pretty new to her and that takes a lot of learning more updated views and unlearning a lot of old ones. Throughout their relationship, (which we found out definitely seemed like a pretty serious relationship this past season), Trevor kept referring to it as “hooking up”, despite his actions saying otherwise. Heck, he even referred to it as “whatever this is” while breaking up with her.

Yes, Hetty could have been more caring and spoken to him regarding the Good Luck Chuck scenario. However, in that scene HE really didn’t explain himself. Just got really mad and ended things. The scene ended with Hetty looking completely devastated. But, he had ended it, so what could she really do? The moment she found out he had been hurt by it, (like, a year and a half later), she immediately apologized for hurting his feelings and felt terrible about it.

Hetty doesn’t really seem mean and cold; she just honestly doesn’t know what he’s doing since he’s all over the place. Any time she realizes he’s upset, she immediately apologizes for hurting him and seems truly regretful that she did.

And that’s not to mention how “Power Friends” came to be due to him being all “I’m not saying I want to get back together or anything” after he had just thrown a whole tantrum over how they weren’t together anymore, (and then immediately backtracked on his ‘not wanting to get back together’ statement all within the same sentence).

Like, bro…she likes you. You like her. Stop with the emotional whiplash 🤣

I thought the stex fandom was chill, but no. some of you are attacking people for shipping dinahboose. "CB dosnt gaf about dinah" OKAY? Greasball is canonically abusive. And people still ship greasdinah?

I see a lot of people say 'There's me' is CB manipulating dinah- but why? I don't think CB has eny reason to do that to her? (if someone could explain what reason he has, please do)

I've always interpreted 'there's me' was a song their to gaslight the audience into thinking CB is a good guy..

anyways, interested on people's opinions of this /gen

CBS Ghosts is my new guilty pleasure so take my new OCs. The Blanchet family were distant French cousins of the Woodstones who visited the house in the early 1900s, only for a violent house robbery to take the life of their youngest daughter, Mercedes, and her loyal self appointed guard dog, Horse. Only 8 years old, it takes some time for Mercedes to understand her fate, and for some time she’d be very distressed that her family seem to be ignoring her. On the bright side, the other ghosts are there to try and make things easier, though the misfit collective have a hard time caring for a child given their circumstances, and conflicting ideas on how best to raise a little girl.

Of all the ghosts, she is closest with Thorfinn. He has a soft spot for the little girl.

Evil is such a genuinely excellent show but because it's called 'Evil' AND it moved from network to streaming it becomes esoteric as fuck to search for and discuss with people; which is thematically meta i think, but also the most annoying thing about the show

[fishyboisworld]

I fear I've reached my peak as an ao3 author when I called Thorfinn a "ticking time bomb with an axe"

God! I forgot how much I enjoyed Elementary! Lucy Liu is so good as Joan! She is strong and compassionate and takes no shit for anyone.

Here she is learning from Sherlock and going on she is solving things herself. I mean the season one finale. Then there was the train pushing episode…Her using her medical knowledge has been so helpful plus her people skills! God! She has the biggest heart and is too trusting!

Screaming about Mycroft…

But so badass! I had to pause my rewatching cause Joan just stares down this MI6 baztard like he was nothing as she mentioned she brought in the likes of Everyone as backup. God, I love Everyone so much and when Sherlock has to call on their help.

The Frozen Dressup is like core memory of this show.

And Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock is a treasure!

The way the character has shifted from season 1 to 2 is so different cause of his interactions with Joan and the new people in his life. He takes all the lessons and he is able to develop empathy for them so much.

He allows others to see him weak and him trying to relate to others so much. The episode with him coming across his old childhood pen pal was heartbreaking but shows how far he has come.

The scene in season two when Bell lashes out about his issues if he is will ever get better and than Holmes coming in and just outing himself as an addict.

Which again! Loving for a modern take of the character that they use his addiction as a problem, a weakness and using that to humanize Sherlock.

And Jamie! God!!! The whole idea that is Jamie!!!

Need to go back and finish the episode now

[themischievousronster]

🚨 GHOSTS CBS SPOILERS 🚨

I’m genuinely intrigued, like wdym Jay that you ‘dabble in the devils lettuce’ 🤨 when literally in season 1 you told Sam she should be ashamed of herself for smoking (Season 1, Halloween). She wasn’t smoking ofc, but I wonder what would’ve happened if Sam knows about that?

Also is it just me, or have I been seeing slight red flags with Jay all season? Like I love Jay, but something is off… like in Season 4, A Star is Dead, he was doing research so Sas can see the actress, but Sam said ‘Spring Break?’ And he goes it’s for Sas. I like how he does it for the ghosts, but something seems odd about it. And he is still following her on social media in A Very Arondekar Christmas, revealed by Pete when he possess him, three episodes away from when Sas had gotten over her???

I know Sam also has her red flags, like lying to Jay about where she lived to see him, lying to him about things the ghosts said, but idk guys something is off…

Sometimes I forget I have a tumbler, and I can literally rant on here and not just like and repost stuff. Anyway, on to my rant.

This is about the last episode of Ghosts, the Halloween one, not the recent trevor one.

So, I understand that Jay and Sam have the running joke where they aren't the best business owners, like giving a ghost $10,000 and the likes, but omg, the Halloween episode made me unbelievably angry as a Hetty Stan and as a vintage/antique special interest girlie.

So, as someone who knows a little bit about antique and vintage items, those are not the type of items you sell at a FUCKING YARD SALE! One of the main things we see in the show is that Sam and Jay are strapped for cash and they even got Elis's old watch and sold that shit for a damn good price. But, if you get seemingly perfectly preserved items from the Gilded Age era, you get that shit inspected and sold for what it's worth, hell they could sell some of that shit to a fucking museum, like the mummy!!! I love this show to death, but as a vintage girlie, my heart breaks when they do dumb stuff like this. You gotta get that stuff looked at to see the value of it. You can't just sell it at a yard sale. People probably saw two dumb idiots who are trying to make a quick buck and buy it for cheap and turn around and make a small fortune. UUGGGHHHH AHHHHHH, IT MADE ME WANT TO SCREAM SO BAD!

Every one of the ghosts gets to keep something that means of value to them or gets to be heard about the thing they value but hetty kinda gets pushed aside when they are selling HER stuff, granted she's dead and she can't even touch any of it, but again, they gave money to a damn ghost. Like, let her keep the stuffed ravens since she actually cared about those things and held sentimental value to her. I'm not really heated about this, I just wanted to say it bc I seemed unfair to me.

Unpopular opinion: the way that the ghosts cbs fandom and show treats Trevor really bothers me sometimes. people can treat him as this uwu angel who did nothing wrong ever and was secretly totally misunderstood and while I agree he was better than his “bros” the bar isn’t very high. He made so many inappropriate comments towards Sam when they first met, objectifying and insulting her constantly even though she was married and clearly didn’t show any interest in him. He makes a lot of misogynistic and sexist remarks in general, which usually just get written off both in the show and in the fandom. In D&D he kept making comments about the US, in spite of Sasappis being pretty obviously uncomfortable with it and in the pilot he flicked Pete’s arrow - which is in his neck, the cause of his death, which Pete later says is usually pretty painful all on his own. (He has come a long way since season one though, but this post is more about how the fandom treats him, not his character.)

I also often see his trauma treated more seriously than the other ghosts. And again, don’t get me wrong, I agree he has trauma, but most of that stems from his death itself. But I saw a post earlier that said that Trevor is one who needs therapy the most and I was just baffled.

You’re telling me that the straight white-passing guy from 2000s needs therapy more than the gay man from the colonial era who for the longest time didn’t understand what was “wrong” with him, was unable to marry or be with a person he truly loved because it was illegal, was ridiculed and excluded by his peers at every turn, and had to fight in an awful war? You’re telling me that the straight white-passing guy from 2000s needs therapy more than the black woman who lived during the roaring twenties, in the US, through segregation, racism, sexism and was discriminated for her body type, who was fucking murdered? You’re telling me that the straight white-passing guy from 2000s needs therapy more than the Chilean woman in 1969 who made her way through law school only to drop out after losing her fiancee, got tricked into a cult, thought her brother was dead, and was ripped to shreds by bears and now spends her afterlife in a constant state of forgetting? You’re telling me that the straight white-passing guy from 2000s needs therapy more than the Viking warrior who was callously abandoned by his shipmates, his brothers, for reasons he never knew, who spent so much time wandering alone that he befriended a squirrel whom he later had to eat to survive and then spent another 500 years by himself again, as a ghost with no sort of explanation for what was happening to him? You’re telling me that the straight white-passing guy from 2000s needs therapy more than the Lenape man who died right before the biggest night of his life and was forced to watch the colonization of his land and the genocide of his people, unable to do anything, and having to live with his culture and history being erased? You’re telling me that the straight white-passing guy from 2000s needs therapy more than the woman from the 1800s who was married off in a land deal, raped by her cousin and then killed herself in a desperate attempt to save her son, only to watch him grow up and murder the woman who would become her best friend? No he doesn’t. 

Honestly, to me, Trevor is one of the more boring characters, and the only reason he gets so much attention and sympathy both from the show and from the writers is bc he’s a straight white-passing man from the 2000s. I will not be taking criticisms at this time.

So Youtube has made me obsessed with CBS ghosts and m wondering...bagginshield Ghosts AU?

[pebble-person]

Tried watching the American version of Ghosts again. It's worse. Definitely worse. But in, like, an *insulting* way. They removed every subtlety! Do they think my American brain was incapable of comprehending that Captain was in the closet without him making stereotypical jokes about it every three sentences??? And they made Fanny younger and "hotter". For why? Hhh. Agh. Argh. I need to make art of the original BBC series.

I miss Kittie.

I'm gonna draw Kittie.

AHHHH FINALLY SOMETHING!!! MY GIRLS ARE ALMOST HERE!! Teasers probably dropping mid week or this coming weekend!!! *we cheer with tears*
