#(when I was watching the first episode of season 2 I was literally sooo bored cause it’s so slow that I almost dropped it lol)

[watcher0033]

WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING FUCK OHMYGOD THIS IS MY MOST INVESTED SCIFI SHOW SINCE DARK AND TRAVELERS HOLY CHICKEN NUGGETS I NEED FUCKING ANSWERS OHMYGODOYGOD

GUYS WATCH SILO IT. IS. SO. FUCKING. AMAZING.

I beg of you.

Pure awesomeness for 10 episodes.

Main Character is GIF above and she will awaken every sapphic bone in your body. She’s certainly awaken mine and I’m bloody asexual.

Rebecca Ferguson is so hot as Juliette in this even when she’s being an asshole. I’m like I can completely understand darling lemme lay down my life for u. Yall the pull of her is sooo 😚 my beloved feral alley cat

Actually I think this is a very carnal love letter to all ITs and engineers out there with how attractive every casted Mechanics are lmao

It’s a murder mystery with red level type of fascist regime conspiracy and the pacing is managed so fucking well you’ll never get bored and may at times cursed out loud of pure annoyance when the intro show itself and maybe break your phone just to hit the skip button immediately

It’s so good you’ll keep gasping like a toddler like you just watched the twists the first time though said twists has been already established few episodes ago and a constant cloudy backdrop to every interaction/conversation/literally every fucking scenes

Me: Oh my god. We’ve established this already. Please inform the other characters WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. Go, GO GO

Characters, being informed:

Also, Me: *gasps with them*

The tension is so fucking good. You will not tear your eyes away.

All the adrenaline of excitement and frustrations with the fucking questions that keep piling up and cry-inducing cliffhangers are all fucking worth it because the payoffs are literally everything. I am madly hyperfixating. This is love.

Official summary: *crying because it barely eclipses the sheer fucking genius of this show but also cant think of something better because it feels like trying to wiggle in a tiny room surrounded by electric fences. Electric fences being spoilers*

Give it a shot it’s so worth it. I just clicked on it on a whim just to play it in the background while working. And now here I am at midnight rambling like Im high.

Best scifi shows of the fucking year. 👏🏼 Maybe one of the best scifi shows ever. It certainly is in my top 3.

Say it with me: TRUTH BEFORE ORDER.

tw‼️ CLEAN 💀

That ending. That ending. That fucking ending. SEASON 2 COME OUT.

[thegeminisage]

it's star trek update time!! last night* we watched tng's "gambit part i" and ds9's "invasive procedures." *earlier tonight but i am typing this at stupid o clock and letting it post itself tmrw.

gambit part i (tng):

had high hopes for this one initially. i love it when they put on civilian clothes, for starters, and also we got a little riker e worf e deanna before we ALSO got e beverly and the joke about her 1. being riker's sister (shoutout to that trill episode where she wouldn't fuck him at first because she said he was like a brother to her) and 2. picard getting her knocked up BECAUSE LIKE HE ABSOLUTELY DID KNOCK HER UP WITH WESLEY CRUSHER THEIR AFFAIR BABY really sent me to the fucking stratosphere. tng's been pretty watchable lately so i was giving it quite a lot of benefit of the doubt

unfortunately, we went directly from that to riker yelling at deanna for no reason...i always really disliked riker's relationship with picard. he's so weirdly hyperprotective of him in a way beyond his job duties. it doesn't feel like coworkers or friends or equals or even like it's supposed to be secretly shippy the way spock and jim were - riker is too overprotective for it to even be likened to a lover's realtionship. it also doesn't even really feel fatherly, like picard is stepping in for riker's shitheel of a dad. actually, riker almost acts like picard is HIS child. it is SOOO fucking unsexy and uncomfortable

physically grinding my teeth once picard DID show back up because with ANY other two characters this would have been fantastic. riker and worf. riker and deanna. riker and literally anyone because he has that kind of chemistry and down to clown attitude. even picard could have been ok paired with beverly or data or someone he actually works well with. it could have been ANYONE. even two people who don't talk to each other much like geordi and deanna or whatever. instead we got these like truly fantastic moments of noverbal communication and mutual scheming and pretending not to know each other while actually knowing each other sooo well and it was with the LEAST fun combination of characters out of the ENTIRE cast!!!!!!! augh

AND!!!! IT'S ALL FOR STUPID ARCHAEOLOGYYYY

PICARD GET A LIFE CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!

it's not even that the writing was bad. i'm annoyed because the writing in this section was GOOD. but picard and riker's relationship is bad, so it soured the whole experience

anyway, i think riker should have battled his eyelashes at that wrinkled little alien when he wanted info from him. instead of whatever that was. also he was making REALLY good faces when they were torturing him with that neck thing and he was on the floor. that's a rage glare. a kill you look. mwah

oh side bar i physically could not look at geordi this episode. so that's been fun.

invasive procedures (ds9):

oh girl we are In It

firstly, odo's little bucket prison. that was SO sad because he doesn't goop in front of people. i felt horrible for him. my poor best friend odo

i really like how ambiguous it is like how much of jadzia dax is jadzia and how much is dax. does dax have his? her? their? own personality and all, or are they just the sum of their past hosts? when dax was inside that other guy, did part of them want to get out and go back to jadzia where they chose to be to begin with? to save jadzia's life? or do they not care? is dax themself not super sentient unless they're inside a host and then that host's personality is sort of dominant? so many questions.........trills are fascinating conceptually bc there's no clear definitive answers, so i was really dismayed that dax was easily the most boring character in season 1. but now!!!!!

ok, before we get into it, i have to say also, the cast rallying around dax/jadzia...really really good. actually, all their interactions with one another were spot on. bashir being SO NICEYS with odo's little bucket prison and then quark also springing odo from the bucket prison, bashir absolutely chomping at the BIT to treat o'brien's phaser wound, kira threatening quark on jadzia's behalf, quark tackling that klingon to save her/redeem himself. oh yeah and kira saying with her Whole chest that if odo's free there's no way any of the bad guys are escaping the station. my future otp......................

speaking of quark i did say the worst thing in the world to catherine while we were watching which is "this is what he sounds like when odo's plowing him" and the longer the noises went on the worse it became for her and the funnier it became for me. cathy when you read this you have my apologies

i did feel a little weird about julian stroking jadzia's face when she was naked and vulnerable recovering from worm surgery (the worm surgery was GREAT by the way) when she has explicitly and repeatedly turned him down in the past, but i'm giving it a reluctant benefit-of-the-doubt pass on account of he felt terrible about what he'd had to do and probably just wanted to comfort her, and considering the state she was in there weren't very many other ways/places to touch her except her head and maybe her hands. also i forgive him because him talking back to that klingon was sooo fun

i would have also liked for this episode to push on the insanity of being bonded to a symbiont and then being forcibly unbonded. like its just now striking me that curzon died alone. beverly's little trill boyfriend died alone. jadzia would have died alone, too. and the dax part just has to move on. like that's crazy. does dax grieve for past hosts? or would it be like grieving for yourself? what is it like seeing dax inside another body when they've been inside yours for almost your entire adult life?

but actually what i really wanted was to see this bad guy's insanity reflected in jadzia. instead of saying oh man i feel so alone she could have been like. more of a wreck. and conversely, he would have been that same kind of wreck after dax got taken back out of him. that would have been cool.

i would also like to know how the dax part felt about forcibly being put in another body they never wanted to be. are they fighting with themselves? himself? the host wants things to stay as they are but dax doesn't, so what happens? does it not feel like an awful violation? i could have used 5 more minutes of that episode

also. sorry. dax and sisko................"i wish we could have made it three" it's, sorry, toph and aang and korra core. do you think friendships can last more than one lifetime...........

icing on the cake was that he was so mad at the bad guy whose name i keep forgetting that he was like DONT CALL ME BENJAMIN and shot his ass stone cold. bc that was better than letting his friend be taken by this asshole lol

anyway, my final dax question is when does her hair get smaller. her head is such a weird shape. is she wearing a wig, is that's what's happening? and the rest of her head just looks weirdly big because of it? it's making me crazy.

NEXT TIME: tng's "gambit part ii" and ds9's "cardassians" AND I LOOKED IT UP AND GARAK IS FINALLY BACK!!!!!!! i can't wait....................

[hungry-skeleton]

hey question how do i get into red vs blue because im genuinely curious about it and want to watch it👀👀👀

Honestly the best way to do it is just watch it! Despite its length (currently 18 seasons with the last season on its way) it probably won't take you long to finish. The episodes themselves aren't really that long and you can finish a whole season in about an hour or two

Here's the official playlist of the whole series!!

Some things to note if you really wanna commit your life to rvb

The r slur is used a handful of times in the early seasons, surprisingly not as often as you might think for a series made by old gamers. They eventually stop using it though. Keep in mind this show started in 2003 which is older then quite a lot of people on this site so I think they can get a little slack for the early episodes having some out of touch humor (doesn't make it right of course but yknow, what can you do)

Series starts kind of slow but starts ramping up pretty quick, if you feel a bit bored to start don't give up right away! I recommend getting through seasons 1-2 first which should only take like 2 hours

The entirety of season 14 is a half-canon anthology series. I recommend not skipping it though, it's very enjoyable

There's a bunch of mini series that take place in random places in the timeline on the playlist too, DW about watching them in order they aren't even required but they're fun!

Everything after season 13 might not be canon actually we aren't 100% sure on that but it's also like... Kind of canon too.... We'll cross that bridge when we get to it

The series does have a fall out later on because of changing writers but it never really gets BAD just.. Not as good

Except season 16. Fuck season 16. All my homies hate season 16. And you gotta watch it for context in season 17 I'm so sorry it's so bad it's sooo bad

EDIT: I changed my mind skip 16-18 entirely they're gonna be non canon anyway and I swear to you there is literally no entertainment value in any of them don't fucking watch them they're so horribly bad <-is watching them

Now a lot of this stuff might sound discouraging but if anyone is actually willing to give this series a try I REALLY do recommend it! It's probably one of the best examples of adult comedy. Adult comedy shows (especially animation) sometimes fall into the trap of needing to be excessively violent and sexual and mean in order to be mature but that inadvertently makes the series feel very immature. Red vs Blue DOES make sex jokes and it is violent sometimes but it's never in an overbearing and childish way (except season 16 that's literally all that season is I'm so sorry) it executes its humor great, it relies a lot on just how insane the MCs are in a relatively normal world and it's so entertaining whenever we leave the bubble of the main cast and realize "oh these guys are just fucked up"

It has great characters and a story that really hooks you when you don't expect it to. If you're still willing to try it PLEASE do! It's an icon of pop culture for a reason!

[swordshapedleaves]

Some thoughts on the new anime this season I've checked out. I've only seen the first episode of any of these so I might be wrong about them but here we go! (Spoilers for the first episodes of these anime!)

Buddy Daddies: It's edgier knock off Spy Family, but it looks like a lot of fun. Odd couple raise a baby but their day job is high octane murder. The tonal whiplash is the joke and the fight scenes looked great. It may not be for everyone but I intend to keep watching.

Campfire Cooking Isekai: It seems pretty low key but the food looks great and there's nothing her to rub me the wrong way so far. It will be low priority for me but if I have time and just want to chill out without falling asleep this is what I'm headed for this season.

Endo and Kobayashi Live!: This one looks like a fun twist on the weirdly specific otome villainess genre. Love that we get double romance in the game world and the real world. That last minute mysterious guy adds a little something extra too. I expect this one to be a delightful romp and will be watching this while holding hands with my partner.

The Fire Hunter: Wildly unique future fantasy that is absolutely gonna be dark and tragic. I got big Jin-Roh vibes from the first episode and it turns out it's the same writer, Mamoru Oshii. The art is incredible. This one is def gonna make me cry. This one could be a contender for anime of the year, and potentially a lasting classic.

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague: I love the concept of this anime, and I love the character design. But the first episode was sooo boring! I don't think I'm going to keep watching. Literally zero conflict, just young adults helping each other out at work and exchanging thoughtful gifts while some of them have minor magic they don't use for anything other than aesthetics. I was really hoping for something like a more grown up Kamisama Kiss but I don't think this is it. Dropping this one for sure.

Kaina of the Great Snow Sea: I'm obsessed with this one. Huge Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind vibes with a world full of strange biology and a remnant of humanity struggling to survive. Yes the CG character animation is pretty stiff, but the environments and the world are easily the most gorgeous alien landscapes I've ever seen in an anime.

The Magical Revolution of bla bla bla: Very excited for this one! I hate that the way too long light novel title gives away that the princess is an isekai because the relatively subtle way they handle it in the show is really refreshing. I love her wild and genki shonen protagonist attitude and I can't wait to see it contrast and complement the cool politeness of her genius girlfriend and vice versa. I'm also hoping the revolution in the title is literal because the crown prince is a selfish dick and the monarchy is hoarding magic that could benefit everyone. Another anime I'm gonna watch while holding hands with my partner.

Revenger: The grounded historical setting and gritty storyline clashes with the shonen anime character design. Also this is just a personal thing but I think that the crossed bangs X thing that's kind of popular right now looks bad. I'm still gonna watch it because the action is cool as hell but the character design is really out of place. Also I'm pretty sure that the young girl who kills people with kite strings is dressed like a sex worker, which is certainly a choice.

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale: Oof. This one is dealing with some real delicate topics and it could go in a lot of directions, some of them extremely bad. The main character does get told off for trying to act like she can make friends with the person she just bought and still owns, so we'll see. Also the action scene was crap while the candy making scene was beautiful so you know what they're prioritizing. I hope this will make the correct choices and state that 1) no one should own other people, even when they're a "kind master" and 2) 15 year olds should not date immortals who are centuries old. If the show clears these bars (which are shockingly high in anime) it will likely be one of the best anime of the season. If it doesn't it's just another piece of trash.

Tale of Outcasts: I'm a sucker for Victorian period pieces so I had to try this one. Honestly it's pretty disappointing. The costumes are nothing special and the story is pretty maudlin. Also I am concerned that it might Bunny Drop the relationship between the young orphan and the demon she's contracted to. Also her hair is stupid. It looks like she has long thin hair and is wearing a short wig on top of it. Why do her bangs go all the way to the back of her head. I think I might watch another episode or two to see if it picks up but I will likely drop this one.

Tomo-Chan is a Girl!: All the violence of Love Hina with not ensemble cast to enjoy with the added bonus of shaming the tomboy for being a tomboy. I couldn't even finish the first episode. It's too bad, if this had been handled better it could have been really cute.

Didn't even try it but I'm real bummed that the Trigun reboot got rid of my favorite character and replaced her with some guy. This season seems to really hate butch girls! I have since realized I'm not a woman but when I first got into anime, Milly Thomson was one of the very few characters in anime who looked anything like me who weren't one off jokes or bit part villains. (Shout out to Helga from Outlaw Star as well!) Really disappointed they ditched her.

[thbn-anything]

I’m in the middle of watching Love Alarm 2 (still in ep 3) and I literally don’t get why everyone is still so hung up on Sun Oh, because watching this season made me remember on how freaking toxic he is. First of all their first kiss? It was done without Jojo’s consent right? Like he literally just immediately went forward and kissed her (correct me if I’m wrong)? And he is soo possessive. When Sun Oh met Jojo in that event and saw her talking to Brian Chon about the shield, and he immediately went “YOU STILL LIKE ME” like BOI,,, STOP GETTING HUNG UP ON YOUR FIRST LOVE

Hyeyeong, meanwhile, is a literal CUTIE, HOW DO PEOPLE NOT SHIP THEM?? Even without knowing that Jojo will end up with Hyeyeong in the end anyways I would still ship them. They’re literally soooo cute. Without the existence of this app, they are the perfect couple. Speaking of which, I would absolutely HATE IT if love alarm was an actual app irl. If that exists I’d simply just not download it, like the mess it causes? That app is wild, like why would people want to show that they like this person in front of EVERYONE?? If I installed that app on my phone (which I probably won’t), I would just keep my phone on silent the whole time.

Anyways, I’m Team Hyeyeong y’all 😙✌🏻

QOTS Rewatch - Season 3 Retrospective

As always, before moving onto the next season (😭) I want to take a look back at this last one. Season 3 is great. I know I've said season 2 is my favorite (it is, in my opinion, the strongest season overall, tightest in terms of character work and story building), but season 3 is a pivotal season character-wise for Teresa and James both. It's the season of James's redemptive arc and a season that sets Teresa ever further on the path towards darkness. As with the previous seasons, here's what I'll cover:

My Top 3 Episodes

My Top 5 Scenes

Season 3 Episodes Ranked

Teresa’s Journey

Jeresa, DUH

Top 3 Season 3 Episodes

This is too easy:

3: 3x08, El Carro

All three of my top season episodes have in common that they have amazing conversations between Teresa and James, conversations that actually move the needle significantly and help us understand both characters, especially Teresa. This one's conversations in the rabbit car ('so you regret what we did?' 'of course not!') and later in the bathroom at their house ('this is who I am' 'I know, but you don't have to hide from me') left me vibrating when I watched this the first time and STILL make me freak out when I watch them with how incredible it is that this drug cartel show gave us mature and thoughtful and provocative conversations between the characters of the main ship. Mind-blowing. Like they aren't going to play games with each other?!?!?! So fucking refreshing. Anyway, bonus points for the car chase, for Teresa panicking about James in danger, for her conversation with Pote about what was going on with James (in which she barely said anything at all), and for Taza, George, and Lil T all co-starring.

2: 3x05, El Juicio

'Not your favorite???' I hear you cry. No, listen, this episode is only not my favorite because, as a whole, the Camila/Cortez/Loya side story is really boring and takes up way too much screen time. I really resent what this season did to Camila's character, silo-ing her with these two uninteresting male characters all season who barely had anything to do with Teresa's story either. But other than the Camila content, this episode is LITERAL FIRE. The soft Jeresa flirting at the beginning, the iconic showdown with Devon, and James's confession followed by the most beautiful first love scene for a TV ship *EVER* make this episode sooo hard to beat. So hard to beat that only one episode this season beats it, and that is...

1: 3x02, El Colgado

I'm going to confess that this is one of my most rewatched episodes of the series. I find the tension between them here--and its sweet and tentative resolution--soooo compellingly real and complex. That car chase scene at the beginning is funny and hot and bittersweet all at once, with a (terrified and mistrusting) small but mighty Teresa and a (bewildered and utterly transparent) competent as always James trying to confront the trust issues that separated them in the first place while also trying to just, you know, stay alive with enemies coming at them from all angles. Then the soft conversation in the cop car and the final balcony scene while Pote is recuperating is just pure magic. It's incredible. And the Camila story (trying to kill Teresa in Malta) obviously ties in directly to Teresa's so it doesn't feel irrelevant or annoying. As I said: my most-watched episode of the season. Watching Teresa force James to tie himself up and put himself in the trunk while he shakes his head at her is BETTER THAN SEX. I said what I said.

Top 5 Season 3 Scenes

I had a tough time narrowing down this season's best scenes. But after a few elimination rounds, I finally have to concede it's these five. Again, they are all Jeresa scenes. I genuinely think their relationship became the backbone of the show this season, with Camila and Teresa hardly sharing any screentime. But also, no shame, I am just a total glutton for Jeresa content. I also realized that in seasons 1 and 2, I had top scenes from episodes other than the top episodes. Not so this season. Hmmm what does that mean? ANYWAY, here they are:

#5:

The scene: Episode 3x08, the 'so you regret what we did?' 'of course not!' conversation.

What I love about it: The cathartic vulnerability in James's uneasy question, the shocking candidness of Teresa's response, and the fact that in a simple call and response, the agony of the two previous episodes of James wondering where he stands with her instantly resolves. This is flawless writing, with both of them so beautifully in-character.

#4:

The scene: Episode 3x02, the end-of-episode balcony scene.

What I love about it: the softness! James's transparency! Teresa SMILING! The flirtinggggggg. Ugh I can't stand the cuteness. And also, at the same time, I love how clear she is that he'll be working for her, not with her; she is unapologetic about her power and it's insanely attractive to me. And James isn't threatened by it! In fact, he fully accepts it and respects her. It's incredible to witness this dynamic on TV.

#3:

The scene: Episode 3x05, the 'Unholy War' scene, i.e., the showdown with Devon and company.

What I love about it: If I were more objective, I might rank this first, because the combination of the tension, the music, the cinematography, the acting, James's shock at Teresa risking her life for him, and then the incredible resolution with Lil T's phone call and Teresa coolly sending Devon off makes this one of the most iconic scenes in the entire show. But I'm not objective, and my top two slots are reserved for my fave strictly Jeresa scenes of the season.

#2:

The scene: Episode 3x02, from the moment Teresa turns her gun on James in his getaway car to the moment she makes him get in the trunk.

What I love about it: I've basically already said this in my discussion of why this episode is in my season top 3. The impeccable acting shows exactly how rattled Teresa is and reveals how personal his reappearance is, and the clash between her simmer and James being utterly cool and calm under pressure is pure delight.

#1:

The scene: Does it really need to be said? Episode 3x05, THE KISS.

What I love about it: Oh my god. What don't I love?

I don't usually explain my rankings but... the whole is-James-a-mole thing and the Kelly Anne getting 'killed' thing really kinda makes it hard for me to assess the artistic merits of those episodes without my emotional bias. Hence those two being at the bottom. Same goes for the Guero death episodes, though those weren't quite as painful and had good resolution anyway. I can't really explain why 3x03 is so low for me but it's never been a favorite. I love the James/Pote dynamic there, and love King George, but ehhh. It always felt a little heavy-handed to me somehow.

Teresa's Journey

It's hard to talk about Teresa's journey this season without getting ahead of myself because this season really was the crossroads. It's not that she's unrecognizable by the end of it--or that seasons 4 and 5 Teresa have nothing left of "old Teresa"--but something in her hardens by the end of this season so that if you look back at her in seasons 1 and 2 you can really see it. In season 1, Teresa was doing everything she could to get out of the business and escape with Brenda to a new life. In season 2, after losing Brenda, she'd decided escape was futile and by the end, decided she was going to hang out her own shingle because doing that, and fighting for her own power, was the only way she would be able to survive. But she'd also convinced herself that she could do this business a different way, "without all the killing." She could be the person she was in her core and run a drug cartel.

And season 3 started out seeming like that could actually work. She had a vision for her business that was essentially to run it as a legitimate business. This meant not just being financially savvy and entrepreneurial, but also meant ... not just offing people for saying the wrong thing. The problem though is that as her business grew, she acquired enemies: the "traditional" lords of the criminal underworld who weren't interested in learning her rules. They were perfectly content to try to force her to play by theirs. And little by little she was indeed forced to do just that. In the first few episodes of the season she burns an entire fledgling business to the ground--and a significant new business relationship--because she can't stomach the sex trade aspect of the cartel world. But by just a few episodes later, she's using a wedding party as a personal shield because she refuses to clear out of Phoenix where her enemies are trying to get rid of her. And by the end, in her most shocking queenpin-like move yet, she's ordering the execution of someone she loved but who hurt her.

At the beginning of the season, in other words, she's willing to risk her life in order to do the morally right thing. In the middle, she's willing to accept some moral compromises in order to survive. But by the end, she's willing to enforce those moral compromises as a matter of principle. Ouch. And it all happens because of trauma. Every step of her hardening seems to come about as a direct reaction to some new terrible thing. Devon coming for her. Camila coming for her. Guero dying. The explosion and her near death in Bolivia. Someone in her inner circle betraying her. Cortez coming for her. And then... James leaving. Again: poor woman.

The show didn't linger enough, in my opinion, on her decision to order Kelly Anne to be killed. That ought to have been a huge decision she would've agonized over, and she ought to have suffered over it on-screen more than she did, precisely because it would have made this arc clearer. The fact that we don't see her think about it at all after it happens makes it seem as if she moved on from it rather quickly. Maybe that's the point--the fact she can move on from it quickly means she's already hardened--but still I think it could've been made more obvious to the viewers that it was a shocking choice, perhaps by having her talk to James about it.

...which brings me to Jeresa.

Jeresa

James and Teresa's relationship was this season really the only way we had any access to Teresa's inner emotional world. She has moments with Pote, but It's in her conversations with James that we hear her actually talk about herself in a real way--both her visions for the business and her thoughts and feelings about her emotional landscape. (It's exactly this hole that James leaves in season 4). I really feel like I've kind of talked to death about their dynamics this season in my individual episode metas already so I'm struggling to summarize coherently. But obviously a lot in this season is magic for them. They are finally separated from Camila and so their relationship actually has space to blossom. They get to know each other better, live together, learn each other's rhythms and see each other's soft sides. James learns to navigate his personal feelings in the context of her being his boss; Teresa learns to trust him and lean on him in more ways than one.

But through both of these things is a more somber undercurrent because while James obviously loves and respects her deeply, he also still missteps in ways that send her trust issues flaring (pushing back too much or too aggressively; smothering her a bit in his efforts to "protect" her; and never really being able to apologize for the ways he might've misstepped--like locking her in the closet, say, or giving her a tracking device in Tony's gameboy!). And while Teresa obviously goes a long way towards trusting him and letting him in emotionally (which, it's no accident that the breakthrough moment for them comes when James is showing her real vulnerability, something that is so palpable that it's impossible not to trust it and her empathy and love come pouring out then), she can't quiet the voices of doubt fully, leading to the heartbreak towards the end of the season. And this heartbreak, for her, will be another clear step towards becoming Queenpin.

There are so many other elements to their relationship that are interesting this season, like the fact Teresa is finally articulating the lessons James was trying to teach her back in season 1 at the same time as it was his own clinging to her lessons from season 1 that resulted in his own transformation before season 3. "You told me there was no good or bad in this business, right?" she says to try to comfort him. But he doesn't believe that anymore, just when she has started to need to believe it. Or, the fact of his departure, after he'd spent all season trying to get her to believe that he wouldn't leave her, being yet another reason for her to believe everyone will die or abandon her, setting her out further on the path towards becoming Queenpin, even while the very essence of his departure is about staying. But this is so long and I am so tired and I have written about all of those things in earlier episode metas and in reblog recap tags. So I'm going to stop.

Coming up next...

Is season 4. I am not going to do individual episode metas for season 4, and there are far fewer gifsets for each episode than there were in season 3 (there are a bunch for the first two episodes but it starts to taper off). So my hope is to get through this season preeeetty quickly.  will do a recap of a few episodes at a time just to talk about important themes. Aaaaand I m going to continue to reblog Jeresa and James gifsets throughout the s4 rewatch, just because this is my blog and I can do what I want, and I don't want a James-less couple weeks here lol. Anyway, just letting y'all know who've been following along that we're going to scoot right along so we won't suffer too badly 😂 Season 4 has some merits and positives, so definitely want to celebrate those, but my Jeresa-possessed soul will also need some moral support to get through it.

TFP rant: Ultra Magnus and why he felt so boring and forgetful to me

Anyone who follows me for some time knows that Ultra Magnus is one of my favourite characters in the Transformers Franchise, second only to Megatron.

However, none of this fondness for the character came from TFP, sadly. It was my first show and I still love it!

And blaming his overall screentime was my reasoning for this. TFP has 60+ episodes and he only appeared in maybe 12 of them.

But tbh, you can’t blame this on the screentime, because there are characters that have just as much screentime as him, but managed to be far more interesting and memorable!

Which ones? TFP Shockwave and BW Depth Charge

Let’s start with Depth Charge under the cut ~

Depth Charge has his debut in season 3 episode 2 of Beast Wars, a show with 52 episodes, the third season having 13.

But right from the gate Depth Charge is engaging, why?

Just his opening line is kinda brilliant xD Maximal computer: “This place has been deemed forbidden by the council.” Depth Charge: “Fuck the council.” (not literally, but you get the point)

I know that’s my bad guy loving sensors acting up, but this does make him interesting! Because he’s a good guy, but he doesn’t seem like one at first glance! 

He hates authority, he’s a loner, he has a really manacing aura around him and he’s here for ~ REVENGE ~

Two minutes of this guy and we already know some stuff about him that is interesting and piques the viewers curiosity.

And then there is another factor - Who does he wanna take revenge on?

The answer is Rampage, a character the audience already knows!

Rampage appeared in season 2, and in his debut episode we learn that he is a failed experiment and immortal killing machine who had to be locked in stasis because of how much mayhem and death he caused. 

And that is why Depth Charge is after him! And that’s why the audience cares!

Depth Charge is connected to something already established in the show, something that the audience cares for!

Depth Charge’s debut episode is also that - his debut! It is devoted to explain him and his dynamic and history with Rampage and it does a perfect job at establishing tboth.

Depth Charge saves Cheetor from drowing at the beginning of the episode to show that he belongs to team good guy, but he isn’t exactly nice about it - shows character!

Then we have his beef with Rampage, and Rampage himself gets to be characterized as well by being happy about Depth Charge being here to hunt him down, he enjoys their fighting. (a unique dynamic he doesn’t have with anyone else)

Last but not least, the episode also shows us Depth Charge’s dynamic with Optimus, that they used to be friends up until the whole Rampage shit happened and that Depth Charge used to be completely different as well. 

Optimus wants Depth Charge to join the team, but Depth Charge tells him to fuck himself (not literally, but still)

And that’s all about his first episode, his story with Rampage keeps going, he drives that conflict, but also starts conflict with the Maximals because of it, his scenes with Optimus were few, but they had weight behind them because of their conflict. 

Like fucking hell, spoiler, but in no other show did I see Optimus getting so fucking pissed at one of his comrades to the point that he threatened them with violence! And that was not Optimus being unreasonable, it was all Depth Charge being an ass, a consistent ass whose motivations we understand!

Compare this to Ultra Magnus - his first scene established two points:

1. he Optimus’ second in command

2. He’s strict and militaristic

And that second point is his entire fucking character in this show! And the first point doesn’t even come up that much! 

How did my little brother put it? 

“He was just there to be the mean boss no one liked.”

Okay, let’s talk about what Depth Charge had that Ultra Magnus had not:

1. An episode to explore his motivations

Ultra Magnus doesn’t have an episode all to himself to explain what his deal os. That’s because he doesn’t have any deal, he’s just on Earth to support the team and that’s where it ends. 

2. Connection to something already in the show

He was Optimus’ second in command, but the dynamic between them isn’t any different then the dynamic Optimus has with any other autobot. This isn’t like Rampage and Depth Charge where you instantly get hooked into their hatred, or Depth Charge and Optimus, where you get a feeling about their current and past dynamic. 

Ultra Magnus is in charge during missions and that’s where it ends

3. Driving conflict

Now, Ultra Magnus does have conflict with Wheeljack and the overall autobot dynamic. HOWEVER, with the Wheeljack thing it’s Wheeljack who drives the conflict. Ultra Magnus is just being himself, it’s Wheeljack who has a problem. Ultra Magnus doesn’t learn anything here and I have to say that the conflict itself is almost the same one Wheeljack had with Optimus the season before so- it wasn’t interesting to me. 

And the thing with the autobot dynamic - Ultra Magnus is all about holding up order and rules, but that makes no one appreciate him, why? Because the Autobots on Earth arent a military unit, they are ~ family ~ And Ultra Magnus has to learn that.

Now ignoring the fact that they never feel like a family to me (more like people in a long-ass group project), Ultra Magnus doesn’t learn this shit. 

He gets his hand destroyed and then Optimus tells him what a family is and that’s it. 

There was no real conflict in this either, Ultra Magnus was just a little sad that people didn’t appreciate him. They weren’t even mean to him or anything.

And when the conflict was resolved, no one cared about it either, it was really just Ultra Magnus getting a new hand and Optimus saying “we are family :)” and that was it. His dynamic didn’t get deeper with anyone.

Nothing heartfelt, nothing intense, nothing interesting!

And it’s a shame, because I would have loved to see some good Ultra Magnus&Optimus dynamic in this!

Know who had a great interesting dynamic? Shockwave! With Starscream!

Now we get to Shockwave, a character who has almost as much screentime as Ultra Magnus, but manages to be so much more interesting and compelling ~

How? Let me walk you through these same points again:

1. An episode to explain his motivations

Gotta admit, Shockwave doesn’t have an episode to just himself either. What he does have, however, is a motivation: Space jurassic park!

The whole plot of season 3 is because Shockwave decided to clone some motherfucking dragons and just for that he’s memorable! What plot did Ultra Magnus bring to the table, huh?

2. Connection to something already in the show

Now Shockwave does use a little cheat, because he appeared in a flashback in season 2. But regardless, it did give him a connection to our favourite stiletto-wearer, Starscream. I mean, the scene in which Shockwave appears in season 3 has Starscream being like “oh fuck shit no-” and that alone makes Shockwave compelling - He is here to start some beef with Starscream!

And they do have beef! Interesting and awesome drama, yay! 

That’s what we’re here for! 

Right onto point 3, conflict!

He has this whole “daddy loves me more than you” dynamic with Starscream and it’s hilarious to watch! Starscream is also not having a good time and the cause is Shockwave actively working on making Megatron a happy little evil lord. Let’s not forget that two times Shockwave was ready to obliterate Starscream!

See, this is what I mean!

Something exciting and compelling!

Depth Charge and Shockwave manage to bring something exciting, interesting and fun to watch into their shows.

Ultra Magnus does not: He doesn’t actively do anything that makes Wheeljack dislike him, he doesn’t learn anything, he doesn’t have an interesting dynamic with his boss with whom he should have one and overall, he also doesn’t have much of a  personality.

Shockwave doesn’t have one either, but his one character trait of being logical all the time at least features into the story in two very intense scenes.

As long as a characteristic brings something to the story, it doesn’t matter how few a character has. 

But Ultra Magnus’ strictness doesn’t have that kind of effect in the show.  

And that why I found him boring.

Sooo, hope you liked my rant, if you disagree feel free to tell me ~ :D

🎪I haven't started wayne fam adventures yet but it looks sooo good and is everyone there!? It seems like everyone's there just from what I've saw on tumblr but I don't remember seeing steph? Please say alfred is there!?

random side note just cuz you like jonny there's DC fear state coming out over fall and scarecrow is the main villian messing s*it up in Gotham and the batfam, I ain't gonna be reading that for a while tho cuz I've put a cap on comic purchasing because I'm making myself broke 😅 but it looks quite cool tbh

Dude I love that you have no chill with the asks omg xD Its so great, I get so excited when I see you do it hahaha

2. Do you like the arrowverse if so what's your fav show? (Mines flash but legends is so so chaotically lit it's a dumpster fire of awesomeness highly recommend that even tho they did my fav kinda dirty they had no need to do that to her but hey) Same, my fav is Flash, tho Im not caught up at all/havent caught up since like mid to late season 4, I got too busy during college and I was kinda getting bored with it, but now that Bart is in it, it makes me wanna watch it again! It was also before I got super into DC so Im sure Id love it even more now. I actually havent fully seen the others, just some episodes here and there and the Crisis crossovers! LoT looks like a chaotic lovable mess though, Ive heard that several times xD Who is your fav that they did dirty?

5. Fav character(s)? I mean its me so I can never chose just one xD Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Gar Logan/Beast Boy, Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson, and Edward Nygma/Riddler are my all time favs!

15. Dark trinity or trinity? Dark trinity as in the 2nd Red Hood and the Outlaws? (Jason, Bizarro and Artemis ) Then def dark trinity haha, I love those 3 misfits so much omg

17. Teen titans or Young Justice? AHH this is soooo hard omg. Like the shows or comics or groups in general?! Like imma go with Young Justice show but Teen Titans overall. They overlap though soo

18. Fav animated show and/ or movie? (BTAS is supreme to me lol) Ahh I actually seen all of BTAS! Ive just seen the first couple episodes and seen random ones here and there but like know everything about it xD Hmmm, for show I gotta go with the Young Justice cartoon, and animated DC movie, a tie between Justice League vs. Teen Titans and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (the Damirae ahhhh). Though oooh also Under the Red Hood is also a classic and Jasonnnn

22. Fav Robin! ( this is so hard but also not I feel like dick gets it just cuz he was the first ) Ahaha I knew you would say Dick!!!! xD I was gonna ask and be like, its Dick isnt it xD This is like the hardest question ever oh my goodness. While they have all been my fav at point point, Jason and Tim have like been tied for first for the last couple of months. Like I love them both so freaking much. But if I absoltly HAD to chose one, ahhhhh, im going to have to go with Jason, Im so sorry Tim D: But Jason's character is just so complex in every version and his comics are sooo good(tho I love Tim's Red Robin ones too) his arc as a character is just SO interesting to me and his constant battle with himself and how far he fell from being robin and its all so sad but makes such a good character ahhhh

31. Do you like the character of the joker? Ahaha, this one is hard/I have mixed feelings. I have always liked him as villain even before my Batman obsession (and of course use to say he was my fav dc villain hahaha) and tbh I still think he is a pretty darn good villain and there is a reason he is so popular, even though he is an abusive piece of poop. Id like him a LOT more if he didnt abuse Harley so much tbh. And I think DC over uses him waaaaayyy too much, though I do like every version of him, excluding Leto's version, and think the acting is always amazing. So yeah, I guess I do like him but he isn't my fav, but I can appreciate him and his pop culture impact and how good he is as a truly evil unhinged villain who is interesting to watch.

38. Who do you think is the most over looked and under used character? TIM DRAKE!!!!!!!! And Riddler!!!!!!!!!!!

51. Justice League or League of Assassins or Justice League Dark? Gotta go with the classic justice league man

And ahhhh yes you have to read Wayne Family Adventure, its pretty much literal perfection. Here is the official link if you need it! https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/batman-wayne-family-adventures/list?title_no=3180&page=1 It comes out every thursday!

Yugioh Episode 30 Season 4: The Dead Joey Shuffle

Lets ignore everything happening on planet Earth right now and talk about old ass anime, shall we? Yes, my sky turned a horrible end of the world yellow/orange color for an entire day because of a LOT of fire in my state. But thankfully, the winds have changed, the sky is blue...and I can write about Yugioh again.

Last we left off, Tristan, Tea, and Yami stumbled across two fresh corpses. Now, when Joey died a season or two ago (I honestly can’t remember when), we had my favorite storyboarder at the helm just sweeping emotion all over the field and the intense weeping for Joey Wheeler lasted for like 30 minutes. Yugi freaked out in the puzzle headspace for like half an episode and nearly gave up playing cards again, Yami punched a wall and then put a duel disk on Joey’s arm like a funerary send off to the afterlife, Tea started losing her mind and begged Yugi to drop out of the tourney so Yugi wouldn’t die, and Pharaoh was like “yo Tea, Yugi can’t talk right now can we do this later????” And then Tristan, out of nowhere, just started shaking Joey and screaming at him to wake up (and I think he punched him in the face and it got censored? Yo that episode is wild.) Joey got plugged to some Kaiba Corp med bay that had like 2 dozen weird sensors attached to his chest and feet to keep him alive. Serenity was like hyperventilating in the back, just a LOT of stuff was happening all at once.

But this time, with an ordinary animation team, these three kids are so distracted by the other corpse, that they only cry just a little bit before being like “woah what?”

And like this is their second time. Maybe they’ve gotten used to Joey being dead? Maybe they got it all out of their system and are now a lot more accustomed to the fact that they all must die. Several times.

Confronted with this Agatha Christie brand debacle, Tristan makes an incredible reach that is also completely correct. Like this is such an amazing incredible reach.

Hire Tristan as your detective, hot damn. There are like 7.8 billion Orichalcos-possessed people on this planet right now trying to kill Joey Wheeler and Tristan actually called the right one.

Yami never tells us who he blames, but it’s OK, because the show immediately cuts over to Dartz’ silicon valley fortress to tell us without telling us. So while this animation team isn’t as insanely extra as our previous animation teams, they still know how to edit their cuts to work alongside their dialogue just fine.

(read more under the cut)

Lets take a little while to just take this in. Someone took a while to make it, so rather than look at it for half a second before it passes--please lets count the number of floating streets in this scene.

3.

So before when I talked about the history of San Francisco, I mentioned the old Embarcadero, which was a double decker street wrapped around the peninsula. (we still see parts of this double decker set up on parts of the highway to this day.) But what if--they actually have no idea that the Embarcadero was a thing before it fell down in an earthquake?

What if they just...wanted San Francisco to be vaguely cyberpunk in this universe and that floating freeway was supposed to be futuristic and not just an 80′s throwback?

Because there’s 3 streets stacked on top of eachother right here and yo there is no where in the city built like this. This is a Gotham situation where the poors live on the lower levels and the rich just kind of hang out on the top. We have too many Earthquakes in reality to ever support this setup but Yugioh...wow. They went for it.

Also, our art deco architecture isn’t quite in this style as Dartz’ mansion. Mind you, this isn’t full deco, and the structure has more of an ancient world vibe. But...while San Fransisco does have a lot of deco, it’s just different (sorry you’re not really here for the architecture but youknow, I’m an artist so I do think a lot about why concept artists may have gone where they went)

++++++++++RANT ABOUT SF DECO VS COMIC BOOK DECO FEEL FREE TO SKIP++++++++++++++

So I’m not going to dare say this is a mistake on the Yugioh team by any means, since Deco is Deco and who knows when Dartz built that building. But like I’ve seen the SF skyline many times in this show and it’s got some funky shapes in it that are just sooo off to me. They keep drawing a more Futurist New York. Truth is, we don’t have that many skyscrapers in SF.

Most of the pictures you see of scaling buildings are of this one area around the financial district--everything else is...pretty short. So in those photos they very carefully crop out all the really squat as hell buildings on either side of it, to give the impression that our city is super tall, much like a dating app.

And, as far as Art Deco Gotham-esque skyscrapers go, we got ones like this guy:

Where at a glance it’s like...that’s barely deco (and barely that impressive. This is 1/3 the height of the Empire State building.) Compared to a lot of cities in America, our skyscrapers aren’t as...clearly deco from far away? We don’t have the huge ass humps and long ass gilded lines of the Empire State building or the Chrysler building. You only really get those details when you zoom in.

Our other skyscrapers are kinda understated or modern in comparison. And the reason why we just don’t have many deco skyscrapers is because...our ground ain’t good for building skyscrapers at all, so it took us kind of a while to build up.

Like we got this tower that we built recently (the first skyscraper they built in SF in a good while) and they decided to name it the “The Millennium Tower” which...I know...good job, team, clearly you wanted to get cursed. Well the tower started leaning about 3 or 4 years ago, like well over a foot from it’s original spot, it’s just tilting and sinking away, and people are freaking out because it’s surrounded by other tall buildings so they’re like “damn it we’re gonna dominoes.” The people in charge were like “well...we don’t know why it’s leaning...but I’m sure it’s fine” and it’s like “the ground. It was the ground...you dumbasses” not to mention that it’s clearly cursed by at least one angry Egyptian Ghost but...what do you do?

I would absolutely watch the Yugioh spinoff season about the Millennium Tower and the SF tycoons that got possessed by a ghost and have to play card games to keep their tower from squishing all of San Francisco. Yo you should hire me, Yugioh, I got IDEAS.

Man...Yugioh predicting the future, how did they call the ill fate of The Millennium Tower????

But anyway, most skyscrapers in SF are kind of boring because they have to be sturdy as hell. But, they have some neat modern shapes (like the Transamerica Pyramid--in the shape of A PYRAMID that hasn’t shown it’s face once this entire Egyptian influenced anime)

I mean, come on Yugioh, it’s right there.

Also the hell is this weird UFO on this picture I lifted off of google?

Like I think it’s 4 jets? 

I may have lifted this from an alien website, so forgive me, q-anon for lifting your image, I’m trying to talk about architecture in my Yugioh blog.

In fact the only building I (and google) can think of that is both really tall and deco-ey is this one:

And it’s a Marriot hotel built in the late 80′s. And honestly, it looks way more 1980′s Las Vegas than it does Deco. (It honestly looks like photobashing but made real, this is a weird building.)

And I could be wrong and overlooking a very important structure, but most of the city’s really cool art deco buildings are in the form of theaters, libraries, churches, schools, and houses--which are only a few stories tall. They’re gorgeous buildings with cool and different silhouettes, it’s just not very big.

Like I believe this is an old high school?

also a lot of our “art deco” has no idea if it’s victorian, deco, or art noveau so they’ll just hit all of it to see what sticks. It’s a lot more eclectic than other places where Deco is typically more...straight-lined. I kinda hate defining art styles as masculine or feminine but honestly it’s the quickest way to really hit home the difference between a Bruce Timm art deco that you’d see in a comic book, (which is very New York inspired) and what we have in San Fransisco which is really decorative and decadent.

The Yugioh SF just has no curvy nonsense and that really sticks out to me.

Ornate swirls get shoved Everywhere. Willy nilly. Just everywhere randomly. And it sits next to other structures that are modern and simplistic. It’s very San Francisco to have this old world next to new world.

And it makes sense. SF is the other side of the continent from New York, and about as far West as you can go from the movement going on in Europe. So...we made our own take and tl;dr the art deco in our city doesn’t look like Gotham at all.

And, while it’s not as grand or dark or iconic, it’s a good thing. It’s what helps make San Fransisco look really unique compared to other American cities--the fact that we're...short and eclectic. Our district with the skyscrapers is where it’s kinda boring, actually--the good stuff is when you get away from that. Where every little building has a spunky wild personality.

But in a show like this you gotta make it seem more grand and less homely so--they scaled up the buildings a lot more than we really have and homogenized all the stylings into one (and they axed every Victorian swirl because they don’t want to draw that). They really just turned SF into comic book New York--especially since I’ve only seen like...one steep hill since we got here.

It’s fine, and it makes complete sense why they did it, (I’m more confused as to why most of California is a Nevada desert so I can easily forgive a San Francisco without the right Deco) it’s just a very different energy.

and honestly...it’s an energy influenced by the tone of the show. Everything has a very dark blue-gray palate, and it’s because it’s literally the end of the world, Joey has died, everyone is sad...maybe it would be out of place to have a building that looks like it sparks joy? The harsh and cold lines do add to the gravity of the situation.

Maybe I would have done the same thing? In the end, the legibility of your story matters more than the accuracy of your story--especially when it comes to TV. Which is somewhat a controversial statement, and there’s exceptions when it comes to cultural stuff. But while the culture of San Fransisco was erased (a culture that they did draw in the beginning of the season! they did show alcatraz, a trolly, and the golden gate!), it is at a point in the show where...all of humanity is being erased anyway. Could also be symbolic? Maybe?

+++++++++++++END OF THE ART DECO RANT+++++++++++++

So anyway, stepping away from lovely buildings and into this gross ass abandoned park, Yami decides he’s gotta get himself to this gaudy ass Batman building ASAP.

He can ride a horse but he absolutely will not ride a motorcycle. Or touch Joey Wheeler’s dead body.

Which is wild because apparently there’s a Yugioh spinoff where all they do is ride motorcycles??? But from what I heard, Yami is not in it. Which is the most wild thing.

So uh...you know how much I love art details, lets take a long look at this one.

AH no.

Nope nope nope nope.

I hate this logo. It looks like an emperor penguin’s eyebrow thingies. Like a face with just four huge eyebrows.

Not sure why we randomly have a new logo. It’s nearly the end of the season, we’ve already shown the Orichalcos logo so many times. Was this episode made earlier in development than the rest? Is that why there were like - I dunno, put this random logo here... Maybe we’ll figure out the rest of the logo later?

I don’t know. This weird logo feels so out of place.

And then because I’m thinking about buildings...maybe it’s influenced by our Shell building?

Maybe? Or not? Just saying you got a round thing with radial lines hovering over a trellis...the possibility is there that they were inspired but had to edit it down for animation? Eh, I’m reaching desperately for anything that looks like San Francisco at this point.

Anyways, the front door of this building is an elevator (????) and in a somewhat confusing set of cuts, out of this elevator comes the murderer herself.

And she’s dead.

SO HAPPY I didn’t have to watch that card game but like...c’mon. There’s no way Mai would lose to Raphael.

Maybe that’s why they couldn’t show it? Because she’s the only person on this show who uses a themed deck with cards that actually sync with eachother? (outside of Pegasus’ toon deck and Grandpa’s voltron deck ((sorry it’s name isn’t voltron, I’ve forgotten the name of the robot that you build out of other cards. Exodus? Exodysseus?

It’s Exodia isn't it? Wtv. 2020′s been a real long one, all y’all.)) )

(don’t ask where the smoke came from, we don’t know. Maybe Yami felt like making it to be more aesthetic. It is a fun visual tic to the show.)

So Yami goes into this elevator instead of anticipating that this is obviously a trap. Like most would just decide to take the stairs instead, but Yami loves falling for a good obvious trap every once and a while (or, in the case of this season--each and every single time a trap is placed in front of him) and so this takes him directly to the fightclub roof of yore.

Ah. We started this season on fightclub roof, in like...2010 or whenever I started this season. Feels like forever ago. How long has the year of 2020 been? 20 years of my life? 40 years of my life? Was I in fact never born before 2020 started? I honestly don’t remember anymore who I was before this year happened. Probably because I inhaled just a hell ton of wildfire smoke and now my brain is a bunch of jelly beans rattling around in a jar.

Anyway, Raphael just hands Yami (by hands I mean throws aggressively) Joey’s dragon card.

A little unsure why he’d do this since...this is the weapon to destroy Dartz. Why are you giving it back to the Pharaoh? But apparently, Raphael did that to prove that he is the murderer of Mai, who murdered Joey and...youknow...the stuff that we know but would be pretty difficult for the people in this show to follow.

Mai’s voice actor seeing “Mumbo-Jumbo” and being like “Well if I’m doing this, I’m going to commit.“

WE ARE NEVER DUELING DARTZ.

I refuse that a duel with Dartz, in fact, ever happens in this season.

Kind of surprised whenever I see there’s still people left. SF is basically abandoned in comparison.

Thing is...that’s just SF on a holiday weekend.

And then, because Tristan’s in the middle of the street, the rest of the party has to try and run him over.

It is really funny to me that Seto went out of his way to ditch these people so MANY times, but keeps ending up around them again and again, and each time in a wildly different vehicle, each and every time it’s when these guys need a lift...he’s very quickly turning into the group’s soccer mom. Should’ve gotten a minivan.

And then this happens?

I’ll just leave this here:

I’m sure that fanfic writers everywhere rejoiced when Seto reached out a hand to catch Joey’s face from hitting the pavement. In all this was a bizarre animation and now that I’ve figured out my blender settings for the new update, I can finally cap little segments again.

Just don’t you dare flag me, tumblr. Hopefully segments less than 10 seconds long are fine.

Like there was this part where they had to just drag around Joey’s corpse over this rail, and it was Mokuba and Tristan just prying him up there like he were a potato sack and like...

...Joey’s gonna wake up with so many rail-shaped bruises! They do not treat him gently!

Then back on fightclub roof, Raphael made me do a bit of a double take when he accidentally implied the existence of another bean within that Pharaoh bean.

And no, Bakura did not show up at this point.

I would LOVE IT if Pharaoh biffed it a second time and Bakura suddenly took the reigns and was like “Oi loves! that was bloody easy!” but I...have a feeling that this team didn’t actually watch the episodes where Bakura is just vibing in that puzzle piece.

If this never comes back to bite Pharaoh in the ass...

It might never come back guys...I don’t know. How do these writers have this much self control to ignore Bakura for like a full season. How do you do it? I can’t hold a plot twist in for even like 5 seconds. How....how do you do it?

Anyways, now that Seto has Tea who has a map, they walk up to the entrance (I honestly forgot if they drove or walked because knowing this show, Seto would absolutely ignore the car. Either way, the Ferrari isn’t necessary anymore. Written right out of the script. Cars are hard to draw. Get rid of it)

You know, Mokuba’s seen an awful lot of corpses for a kid! Like 20ish corpses if you count the 2 times the Big 5 biffed it. Really should have left him with Rebecca! Youknow, the other kid the same age as him!

But it’s fine, we gotta train Mokuba to suppress that trauma deep, deep down like a proper Kaiba.

Youknow when I started this series I was like “I don’t get why everyone talks about the Kaibas so much, these two seem kinda like whatever” but now I’m on like S4 and like...I’m SO concerned about the Kaibas. With Yugi...whatever...he’s gonna be fine, but the Kaibas? Oh boy. Either one of them could go completely evil and I’d buy it.

And probably root for them.

And I know they won’t go full tilt, I’m pretty sure--but like...they COULD. I can’t say that about the rest of the cast.

Everyone’s made it!

Even joey’s weird coma/dead body for some reason!

Lol also I love this random sci-fi tech water tower next to Tea. What is that?

My drought senses are screaming, is that a huge ass water tower the size of a 4 story building next to Tea? Chances are, it’s got a jet in it or something because this is Yugioh, but...man. At least it doesn’t look like one of those rusty New York rooftop water towers. This show just completely not getting what SF looks like.

Whatever, he can resurrect the leviathan, maybe Dartz can make water?

Youknow, all you have to do to make California worship you forever is make rain. Screw this lizard nonsense. The man can power water. What’s he doing with this stupid snake?

But youknow, Yugioh just never really figures out how to harness the weather. They CAN and they do it all the time. But, do they use it for their benefit? Like freakin never.

Anyway, that’s all for now. I went on a looong rant about SF but maybe I’m just sick of my own house? Been a lot of fire and quarantine over here. It’s been messing with my head a fair amount so thanks for bearing with me and my weird ass update schedule (remember when I used to be productive? Was that just a dream I once had?)

But if you just got here, here’s a link to read these recaps in order, from the beginning way back in S1.

NWT BBSIM WEEK 6

@bb-8teen @bigbrotheristerribleandihateit @bitterjurorssavetheday @carry-on-wayward-starkid @cirie @jessica-milagros @juliechensponytail @julieeexcheeen @kaysarswhore @kelleekim @legendareme @marcdjr00 @peterbrownismydaddy @rennyforpresident​ @whats-bb22

It’s been a month since of the battle for the $500K begun, there have been insane evictions, crazy blindsides and an unexpected backdoor sending 5 people out of the game.

This week, with the power back up for grabs, who will become the new Head of Household and who will be the first Jury member of the season? Find out next on NWT Big Brother!

. . .

It’s the day after the Eviction and everyone is preparing for the Head of Household competition.

As the houseguests enter the backyard they see a big bathtub and some buckets.

“Oh no... I don’t like where this is going....” @/whats-bb22 says as they get closer to the bathtub.

“Houseguests! I hope everyone is ready for a nice and refreshing time in the tub!” @/kelleekim says as he will host the competition.

“.....” everyone is just silent.

“Ok lemme explain the rules!” @/kelleekim says and once he’s done everyone gets even more scared.

“Thank god I’m sitting this one out.” @/kelleekim laughs.

“Alright everyone please get into the bathtub so we can start the competition.” @/kelleekim orders.

Reluctantly, everyone gets into the bathtub and competition begins.

(um so this comp is actually super boring to write, on the show they literally turned this into a whole recap episode because the hgs were just sitting around talking SAHJSAH, so im gonna skip this one chief) 

. . .

. . .

“Uhhhh I’m gonna need a new skin because that water is foul...” @/julieeexcheeen shivers, stepping out of the bathtub.

“But at least ya girl is staying in the HOH room tonight!!” @/julieeexcheeen DR.

It’s Nominations day, everyone is in the kitchen.

“As the Head of Household, I have the power to nominate 2 houseguests for elimination, the the ones that I’ve decided to nominate are...” @/julieeexcheeen twists the keys revealing...

“I’ve made my decisions based strictly on game, I consider you two to be great players and I don’t want to miss my chance at getting one of you out.” @/julieeexcheeen explains.

The 2 nominees are unphased by this.

“Hmmm someone decided to starting playing I see...” @/legendareme blankly stares at the camera in his DR.

“I am not too worried about this because this is part of the plan hehe.” @/whats-bb22 smiles in his DR.

“Yeah.... I didn’t nominate @/whats-bb22 because I want him out, I did it because I know between him and @/legendareme, if everyone has to pick someone to save it’s definitely gonna be @/whats-bb22 sooo I struck a deal with him and he promised to be a pawn for me.” @/julieeexcheen reveals her true plan in her DR.

“The Nominations ceremony is over.”

It’s time to select Veto players, the houseguests are waiting in the living room.

@/peterbrownismydaddy, me and @/kaysarswhore will join the HOH and the nominees in the Veto competition tomorrow.

It is tomorrow and everyone is out in the backyard for the competition.

“Omg ewww.” @/juliechensponytail cringes when she sees the hanging gnomes, “I really don’t like gnomes, they creep me out...” she says.

“Hello houseguests! Who’s ready for the competition??” @/jessica-milagros, the host, asks.

“We’re ready!” Yeah!!” “Let’s gnome!! Haha get it? Gnome?...” everyone responds.

“Alright, here’s how it goes...” @/jessica-milagros starts explaining the rules and once everyone gets it the competition begins.

(despite the simple concept, this competition is actually very complicated for me to write so ummm hehe! you can look up the competition to watch for yourself, its season 3 ep 21 i think and i recommend using SOAP2DAY it has literally everything on it, but basically all the questions are personal questions about the hgs so its just tew much for my brain to recreate so im sorry hhh)

(its really funny how the different the hoh and the veto competition are sjhsahjsajsa. me watching the comps for writing materials: well.... thats unfortunate) 

. . .

“Yayyy!!” @/kaysarswhore claps as the final gnome falls.

“ Congrats @/kaysarswhore you have won the Power of Veto!” @/jessica-milagros announces and puts the Veto necklace on @/kaysarswhore.

“I’m back bitches!” @/kaysarswhore confidently smiles in her DR.

It’s time for the Veto meeting.

@/legendareme and @/whats-bb22 will have a chance to convince the Veto holder to save them.

“@/kaysarswhore congrats on winning! I hope that you can use the Veto on me but it’s a-okay if you don’t, just do what’s best for you!” @/legendareme says.

“Hiii, of course I want to be saved and I do hope that you will use the Veto for me but honestly I’m fine with whatever you decide!” @/whats-bb22 says even though he doesn’t want the nominations to change. 

“Ok I’ve made decision and I am going to... use the Veto on @/whats-bb22!” @/kaysarswhore announces.

Both @/julieeexcheeen and @/whats-bb22 are shocked by this and for a quick second glance at each other in confusion.

“Uhhh.. thank you!...” @/whats-bb22 says , standing up to hug @/kaysarswhore.

“And since I’ve Vetoed one of your nominees, @/julieeexcheeen please name a replacement nomination.” @/kaysarswhore continues.

Still stunned by what just just happened, @/julieeexcheeen doesn’t know what to do...

@/julieeexcheeen stands up and looks around the room of people and when her eyes land on @/jessica-milagros she says “@/jessica-milagros this is nothing personal so please take a seat...”

Now it is @/jessica-milagros turn to be shocked and confused but he manages to nod and join @/legendareme in the Nominations chair.

“I..... that was not supposed to happen... but @/legendareme is still my target so the plan is not over yet.” @/julieeexcheeen shakes her head in the DR.

It’s final, @/legendareme and @/jessica-milagros are up for eviction.

The houseguests are going through it this week god bless!

“This week @/julieeexcheeen rose to power, she decided to make a move and targeted @/legendareme! But at the Veto ceremony @/julieeexcheeen lost her pawn so she had to nominate another one on the spot, even though her target is still on the block, the game pressure got to her. Can she successfully send @/legendareme home or will it be @/jessica-milagros that catch the bullet instead? I’m Julie Chen [REDACTED] and welcome back to NWT Big Brother!” Julie says.

“Let’s get with the houseguests!”

“Hello houseguests!” Julie greets.

“Hello Julie!” “Hey girl heyyy.” “What’s uppp.” everyone responds.

“In a few moments, everyone will vote to evict either @/legendareme or @/jessica-milagros but before that they will have a chance to sway the votes to their favor. @/legendareme you go first!”

@/legendareme stands up and begins.

“Hello, I hope that you guys can keep me for a little bit longer because I love this game and I love playing it with everyone so please!”

“@/jessica-milagros it’s your turn.”

“Hi, I respect everyone and no matter what you guys choose I’ll be fine with it...” @/jessica-milagros says.

“Alright then, it is time to vote! And as a reminder, @/julieeexcheeen as the HOH you can not vote but in the event of a tie you will be the deciding vote. Ok @/carry-on-wayward-starkid you first.”

“That’s 4 votes for @/jessica-milagros and if one more person vote to evict him, he will be leaving the house.”

“And it’s official, with 5 votes to evict it is enough for @/jessica-milagros to leave. But let’s see how the rest will vote.”

“Ok, let’s break the news for the houseguests!”

“Everyone! I have the votes! By a 6 to 2 votes........”

“@/legendareme you are... safe.”

Julie shocked everyone with this.

Hearing the news, @/jessica-milagros stands up and gives everyone a hug and exits the house.

Julie then says goodbye to the houseguests as she’s about to interview our first Jury member @/jessica-milagros.

“Hello @/jessica-milagros how are you?!” Julie asks.

“Omg Julie... I actually feel pretty ok!” @/jessica-milagros answers truthfully.

“I guess that you did expect this outcome?” Julie asks again.

“Yeah... I did in some... sense? I don’t know Julie but something told me that my time in the house is up so.” @/jessica-milagros says.

“Well I’m glad that you are taking this well!” Julie says “And even though you’re out of the house, you are still in the game as you will be one of the deciding votes in the Finale so I hope you will enjoy your time in the Jury house!” she continues.

“Thanks Julie.” @/jessica-milagros smiles.

Julie then turns to the camera and says goodbye to the viewers ending the episode.

That’s it for WEEK 6, I’ll be back tomorrow for WEEK 7.

Hey! How are ya ? How much of HANNIBAL have you watched by now ? Fav episode ? I would love to hear some ramblings haha

Hey! I’m doing okay, thanks for the ask! I shall ✨ramble✨

I just finished watching season 3 a few days ago, but I plan on doing a rewatch sometime this week. The problem is I watched it without subtitles and there were times when I had absolutely no idea what they (Hannibal) were saying. I also skipped a bit in the beginning of the third season because I missed Will🤧😔

Like, I watched most of Hannibal, but I need to do a proper rewatch with a different perspective.

Please note there are definitely things/details I missed during my first watch, and I’m not 100% sure I’m interpreting things correctly! Tho I’ve been obsessively reading theories and watching cast interviews.

Anyways, here are my random, incoherent thoughts!

First off, I loved Hannibal (the show). It has consumed my mind and it’s all I’ve thought about for the past week. This infatuation has absolutely nothing to do with how puppy-like Will Graham is. This was also the very first time I’ve binged an entire series and I’m excited to do it again! There were some scenes that were difficult to watch ~ playing cello with vocal cords, Mason cutting his face, Dolarhyde tearing Chilton’s lips off, and other scenes that were too graphic for my taste. At least now I know which parts to quickly skip!

I don’t think I currently have a favourite episode because they’re all kinda jumbled together in my mind, but I might have one after my rewatch!

Honestly I was a teeny bit bored when I first started watching and considered not continuing because it had a slower start/build up. But once the pace rlly started to pick up, I was obsessed.

I literally can’t tell you the amount of times I wanted to scream at Hannibal too omfg.

I loved the second season because I was constantly on the edge of my seat waiting for someone other than Will to figure out Hannibal’s murdery side.

I thought Jack didn’t believe Will’s claims that Hannibal was, well, a cannibal, but apparently he did? And he willingly went to Hannibal’s place to eat people meat??? Unless that was before he knew or maybe he wanted to keep his cover but he also didn’t hesitate to eat? lmao someone explain.

I was hoping Beverly called someone before going to Hannibal’s place alone. . someone who wasn’t locked up in psychiatric hospital for murder. But she didn’t😭 (I think she told him she was gonna investigate?)

I originally thought Hannibal was a dick for sending Randall after Will and forcing him to kill someone in “self defense”, but I recently read that Randall could be seen as a gift for Will? Because Hannibal stopped Will from killing that guy at the farm and Will said the only thing he regretted was not killing him. So is Hannibal providing Randall as a kill opportunity since he previously took that chance away from Will?? Or did he just want to push Will to become murdery. Like?

I watched the clip of Hannibal stabbing Will at the end of season 2 a ton of times before I started the series, and watching that scene after knowing the context behind it hurt sooo much more. I didn’t know the details and only knew Will betrayed Hannibal. So I may have sobbed at the fact that Will called Hannibal to warn him🤧

“My freedom then, you would take that from me.” Sir did u not take away Will’s freedom and frame him for murder eye-

I wasn’t expecting Jack and Alana to be there too and it was a fricken bloodbath. AND HANNIBAL TOOK WILL’S JACKET OFF OF ALANA’S COLD AND DYING BODY AND PUT IT ON HIMSELF? EXCUSE ME? SIR? HELLO??

As I mentioned earlier, I skipped throughout the beginning of the third season because I missed Will’s cute face, and I had no idea what anyone was saying. But everything picked up again once Hannibal and Will reunited at the gallery🥺 the smile they give each other hurt my heart so bad.

“If I saw you every day, forever, Will, I would remember this time.” I’m okay, I’m fine. 🥲

Going into this show, I knew most of the major cliffhangers from watching clips on YouTube. But the thing that really caught me off guard were the time jumps (which made sense tho!) and the fact that WILL HAD A WIFE AND KID!!! I guess he wanted a sense of normalcy to pretend everything was okay and maybe he did love them but I don’t think he was truly happy? Idk seeing Will interact with them felt awkward to me, esp at the hospital. Unless I’m reading into it wrong. Molly and Walter are gonna wake up one day and find out that Will had ditched/disappeared with a cannibalistic serial killer😭 I felt bad for them but I’m also not attached to either of them at all😭

I felt like I ruined the show for myself by looking at every possible spoiler I found online:’) like before starting the series, I knew Hannibal and Will were gonna kill someone and fall off a cliff together at the end, I knew about the end credit scene with Bedelia implying they survived the fall, I knew Hannibal stabbed Will because he felt betrayed, I knew Hannibal would hide something from Will to convince him he was losing his mind and would frame him for murder, I knew Hannibal would purposely give himself up and eventually escape. . . yea u get my point.

But I still loved it so so much🥺

And omfg I watched compilations of Hannibal’s cooking on YouTube, and I thought it was subtly implied that he was cooking people meat. But in the show it’s like “this victim is missing a pair of lungs” and it immediately cuts to Hannibal chopping up said lung on a cutting board😭 All the cooking scenes I saw on YouTube included precut meat, and I screamed when he chopped a whole arm in his kitchen SIR PLEASEE-

Oh! I recently read a Reddit thread on The Evolution of Will Graham’s Darkness and it’s definitely an interesting read!

I really do love the show even if there were times when I wanted to throw my laptop across the room! But I love it. A lot!

And gosh the finale.. I loved it. It really was beautiful.

In conclusion, I love Hannibal (the show), my thoughts are scrambly, and I desperately need a rewatch.

And I totally did not make a graham cracker sideblog at @murderyhusbands

Roswell New Mexico Season 2, Episode 6

- Okay...so I have now actually watched it...well mostly. There were some parts of my stream where the sound wasn’t synched. Unfortunately not that scene. Haha. 

- Let’s start with the positives...

- I actually think that overall it was kind of a fun episode. I liked the Isobel and Kyle stuff and I actually liked the Echo stuff even though I was less than thrilled about Max coming back and the Alex/Maria/Boot guy stuff wasn’t too terrible. And there was some good sibling scenes. So like...not bad. 

- I did think the whole beginning with Max and Isobel and Michael was super weird and was over WAAAY too quickly but hey I guess they had to get to a threesome there and so they had to cut corners on something....That said, angry, dark I’ve got death energy to expel Max is really not my favorite Max, so I guess it’s fine it was over quick but still...strange to build that up and then have it be over and done with in the first like three minutes. But okay...moving on. 

- The Max/Liz strand of the episode was actually super cute and actually made me ship them again so that was nice. My sound was messed up during the whole milkshake speech so that was sad but it was working again by the morning love confession, so cool. Max’s super stiff leather, looked like it had never been worn, jacket though...not a fan. That was horrible and I was happy every time he took it off. 

- The Isobel/Kyle stuff was fun. They do look good with sparkles, I agree. I mean it was pretty random and doesn’t totally make sense but I’m not mad at it. Who knows if it will lead anywhere. I do like the chemistry between Isobel and Kyle though, friend chemistry or otherwise. Kyle has chemistry with everyone though. 

- Except maybe Steph who is still so boring to me but...and my stream was off again, was that her on the operating table in that montage at the end? 

- The main thing I took from the Alex/Maria story was that it gave us confirmation that Alex does in fact know the full story about Rosa so...uh...thanks for finally putting that in there. Might have been nice to have a clue before that. 

- Also...I rolled my eyes sooo hard at the Vampire Diaries joke but also it made me really nostalgic for TVD, because while also trash, it was better trash. Just saying. Also...it would have been a Gilbert ring, Alex and would have prevented him from dying if killed by something supernatural. Get your references right! Haha. 

- I do think the whole boot maker lead was super random and didn’t really lead to much and I still think these stories need more urgency and stakes.

- Also weird that the Cam story was once again on the back burner not that I don’t sort of get it because they have too much going on.

- AND I was sad that Rosa was not in this episode. I want to see her exploding lightbulbs as she has feelings.

- Oh and baby Max at the end...ummm...okay? I guess I want to know more about that. Mostly, I want to understand the all white fashion trend. 

- Now...getting into the ranting part...

- I do have to say that it is important to actually watch stuff because how things are said matters. Because I read some of the dialogue earlier and I was like “What?!?!?!” and then it wasn’t that at all. So that made it all slightly better. Mostly the conversation Maria and Alex had in the car. 

- The threesome thing was still SUPER weird and really unnecessary?!?!? I just don’t really get the point of it. I guess the narrative purpose was to push Alex toward Forrest and cement Michael and Maria but like...was that needed? No. I’m pretty sure Alex could have actually left when they kissed and it would have served exactly the same purpose. And would have been way less horrific.

- I mean, this is the kind of thing I can usually just roll my eyes at and move on if I’m less invested. And I’m not as invested as I have been in other things so like...I’m fine. And trust me, I’ve been there before, so I get it for people who feel devastated and done with everything. I really do. 

- But I am invested enough that I’m just kind of baffled that this was a choice that the show/Carina made. Because it really does just undermine all three characters. And to be honest, this whole love triangle had been undermining all three characters from the start. So I guess it’s par for the course but this just made it worse. I agree with Evil Twin Jon Gilbert that “I hate love triangles” but especially this one. 

- I mean, Maria has been a weird spare part on this show from the start. It’s always been a problem. In relation to the original show character, they gave her friendship with Liz to Kyle/Rosa. They gave her alien mystery solving side to Kyle. And they largely gave her romance with Michael to Alex. And you could say she has a story of her own with her mother, but that’s really kind of Mimi’s story. Maria is just sort of facilitating it. It just feels very unfortunate because OG Maria was great. And this Maria could have been great too but they just took so much away from her. And so much of what she does get happens off screen. And so they tried to give some of it back. They stuck her in this dumb love triangle, which up until now has always just seemed like a roadblock for Malex and probably still is although it’s more complicated now I guess. And if she’s just a roadblock for Malex then that’s just shitty for her character and she should have something that’s hers and not just ultimately be in the way of another ship. And also every turn of it just kind of makes her look selfish and terrible. I mean, I don’t understand her motivations for the threesome at all. Other than that I’ve heard that it was some kind of weird manipulation of the situation to force Michael to choose which is...gross. She just doesn’t come out of it well and that’s sad. 

- And for Michael, it’s absolutely perpetuating bad bisexual stereotypes. As frustrating as the love triangle was, he was technically always broken up with Alex and for valid emotional reasons. So as annoying as it was and as lazy as it was, it was fine. But this is literally like “Okay here’s both of them at the same time cause you can’t choose”. It just doesn’t look good. Especially if it was supposed to be some kind of test. 

- And for Alex...to have him say earlier that being with a woman was him trying to disappear and then have him take part in this is just bizarre. I mean yes, they also had him say that kissing Maria was the first time he enjoyed touching someone which...um...okay...weird. Also feels like they shoved that in just to facilitate this later which is also kind of gross. It’s also just weird to have a very vocally self proclaimed gay man, sleep with a woman for whatever reason. Like...why? 

- And why do Malex need to break up in every episode? Everyone gets it. Couldn’t they at some point just be like “wow we really need to take some time apart and see other people and experience other relationships and work on just getting to know each other as friends and if we end up together then it was meant to be” and then they just go date Maria and Forrest and those can be legit relationships and then they can come back together later after suitable build up. 

- Of course that’s fine for Forrest because he’s a random side character but then it feels insulting to Maria because it’s clear she’s just an obstacle, which is why I hate that she’s a part of this dumb love triangle in the first place. 

- I also just hate the love triangle period with Malex because it just wasn’t needed. There’s so much potential there and so many layers of angst without adding in a main character as a third party. They could still both date other people and come back together without dragging Maria into it all. I feel like Carina just wanted to do this new thing with Malex because she didn’t want her Michael and Maria to have to compete with the OG M&M and then was like “oh no wait I can still do it but in this different super awesome way because epic love triangles are awesome and on all my favorite teen shows of the past” Except that this isn’t a teen show and that should be part of the point. 

- I just don’t get any of it and think it was mostly a bad idea. Well, the threesome definitely was. 

- I mean...it’s not enough to make me stop watching the show but I definitely am further disconnecting with that set of characters until they sort this nonsense out and decide where they’re going with it because right now they’re just making me not care because it doesn’t feel like they care about their own characters.

20 questions ✨

tagged by: @defgyus (thank youu 💕)

1: What do you prefer to be called name-wise?

Belle hahaha. Mine name is actually Annabelle and I’m okay with being called that, but literally *everyone* calls me Belle (pronouced almost like belly)

2: When is your Birthday?

December 8th

3: Where do you live?

South of Brazil

4: Three things you are doing right now?

I’m currently at work but honestly I'm doing nothing besides answering these questions...

5: Four fandoms that have peaked your interest.

uhmmm.... I think the only one I haven't seen anything before and has kinda sparked an interest is concerning “The Haunting of Hill House”, I see a lot of it in my dash, but still I dont think I’ll actually take the time to watch it. I also started watching Dark because of all the fuss with the last season, but since my sister isn't really interested and I have to find the time to watch it alone I’ve stopped on episode 3... Other than that I was kinda already in the fandom during their first season but not, like, full on, and I want to get up to date with “The Mandalorian” and “His Dark Materials” (and for some reason I can only think of TV series.....)

6: How has the pandemic been treating you?

I miss hugging my friends like crazy and also going to the cinema.... The biggest thing that it affected in my life is that I was basically settled on moving to Portugal by the time I graduated (which happened this July -working on my final project and presenting my thesis through online classes was also... fun), but the pandemic kinda put these plans, and my life really, on standby. Surprisingly it didn't change the job I currently have much...

7: A song you can’t stop listening to right now?

Honestly.. I can't think of a song that I'm listening on repeat right now... My “on repeat” playlist is full of Roxette, Pink Sweat$ and, of course, Semicolon

8: Recommend a movie.

Pride and Prejudice 2005 

9: How old are you?

24

10: School, university, occupation, other?

I graduated on Graphic Design, BUT I dont feel good enough to call myself a professional, the course was very...condensed? And I still feel like there’s LOTS to learn. Currently I work as a receptionist at a small hotel; During my shift I'm completely alone here and if there's no calls or request from a guest/my boss I basically have nothing to do (except hang the laundry which doesn't take much time) thats why you see e here on Tumblr a lot

11: Do you prefer heat or cold?

I’m gonna cheat and say I prefer the middle hahaha I don't like to much heat nor to much cold. The ideal day is a day of spring where is sunny and warm with some kind of a light breeze and cold at night so you can snuggle up

12: Name one fact others may not know about you.

Keeping on the theme from Val haha I used to write fanfiction for Marvel characters (and if I’m not mistaken, during the very early ages of my blog I also wrote short oneshots for One Direction...)

13: Are you shy?

Yes, but I can mask it well. If someone comes talk to me I’ll keep up with it and thanks to my job I don't chicken out from the phone or asking help from strangers at the street/stores anymore, BUT if I can help it I won't interact haha

14: Preferred pronouns?

she/her

15: Biggest Pet Peeves?

People that still assign certain chores and traits to specific genders

16: What is your favorite “dere” type?

(I had no idea what these were so I went into a wiki page to read about them and choose, but there are way to many and I won't do that 😅)

17: Rate your life from 1-10, 1 being crappy and 10 being the best it could be.

8 -  I am pretty bummed out that I couldn't travel like I had planned, I’m extremely tired of my boring job and like most I feel like I’am “behind” for a 24yo BUT I have a family that is extremely close and we love each other very much, our house is a safe haven for all of us, we're financially stable, I'm healthy, I’m okay with my appearance and I love the few friends I have so I can't complain one bit

18: What’s your main blog?

@belledamsceno

19: List your side blogs and what they’re used for.

right now I basically have this one focused on SVT, but I also used to have one for Disney content back in the day which I have not delete it @disney-ismymind ​ (aren’t I great with urls.....)

20: Is there something people need to know about you before becoming friends?

initiating isn’t my forte, but I sure do talk a lot once someone gives me the chance. (this was Val’s response and I'll keep it cause is sooo true, I honestly love to talk so if your interest please come say hi)

tagging: @svtxsoju  @soonhoonsol @jungshua​ @art-hao @kyeomblr @delicatecy ​  Sorry if you have already been tagged and I know this is a lot so don't feel pressured to do it 😬

Greenhouse Academy S1-4

Preface: So, I finally have gotten around to writing a review about S1-4 of Greenhouse Academy. I finished over a week ago and watched all 4 seasons in about 4 days haha. Honestly, I’ve been procrastinating this review because I have A LOT to write about. So here we go!

Plot: Eight months after losing their astronaut mother in a rocket explosion, brother and sister Alex and Hayley Woods enroll at a private boarding school, the Greenhouse, for gifted future leaders. Separately, they join two competing houses, Ravens and Eagles, within the school and tension builds up between the two siblings as they adjust. Soon, mysterious events catch the attention of the students from both houses and forces them to work together in order to find out what is happening at the draw the Greenhouse.

Review: 3.5/5

I found the plot really intriguing at first. In addition, I liked the actual events that happened and where the story could head in the future. Though, the execution was not as great. The acting I felt was good for the most part, but the writing seemed a little awkward and cringey at some points. But bear in mind that it is targeted at kids/teens (even though at some points in season 3 and 4 there were some curses thrown around) so it is kind of expected to have those moments. Either way, those moments are bearable to watch through. I personally liked season 1+2 more than season 3+4 for the most part. There is one main issue I have with this show, but I can’t describe it without spoiling it. So, continue reading if you’ve watched the show/don’t care about being spoiled (It’s mostly about season 3+4).

But the main issue I have were the character changes. The obvious ones are the actual cast changes for Emma and Brooke. And the fact that Jackie left... that broke my heart. I still have this naive hope that she will come back though. It sucks that the original actresses could not continue with season 3 and 4, but you can’t really blame anyone since those decisions are based on personal reasons. It’s hard not to prefer the original actresses because well they are what we are used to. Though, I can’t understand why everyone is hating on them sooooo much. I personally think they were fine at acting. The REAL problem was the writing. In season 3 and 4, the personalities of so many characters were switched and the plots were messier. 

To start off, the whole love triangle between Daniel-Hayley-Leo was annoying. I DID ENJOY Daniel and Hayley, but Leo was just being a dick for the entirety of season 3. Obviously Leo was already a bit of an ass with the whole Aspen and LDR drama, but in season 3 the writers just made him 10x that (especially with the whole leading Beca on and straight up insulting Hayley at every chance he got). As you can tell I’m not a big fan of Leo, but the thing that got me is that the writers made Daniel such a jealous boyfriend? It seemed really out of character to me for Daniel to go through Hayley’s text like that and be paranoid of Leo (I mean hello this is the guy that is just straight up insulting your girlfriend and cheated on her. I don’t think you have that much competition or so I thought -- ending of season 4 was annoying). Like I know he was probably scared of Hayley getting back with Leo because of the Brooke and Alex thing, but honestly he knew that his relationship with Brooke was already sinking before Alex came into the picture. Plus, Hayley wasn’t flirting with Leo like Brooke was with Alex in Season1+2. The only good part about this love triangle was how supportive and understanding Daniel was with Hayley at the end. I mean done get me wrong I was thrown off by the huge 180 his personality took, but I’m just gonna believe that Daniel is just that good of a guy to be that mature. Anyway I’m just gonna end it with I prefer Dayley because their relationship felt more real (also I’m so glad that she told Daniel about the button and secret room right away and the writers avoided the keeping secrets to protect you which leads to tension trope because I would have imploded if they did that) and I want to erase the ending of season 4 from my head. 

Next up: Emma and Max. Honestly in the first episode when I learned that Jackie was gone and both Emma and Max started lying about being in LDRs, I knew the writers were gonna try and pair them up. I had hope that they would pull a twist and have Jackie show up in the middle, but NOPE. Like this pairing is just super... boring? Like they are both sweet characters, but they really don’t bring that much to the table in terms of romantic chemistry. I liked them better as best friends who geek out together. And because the writers focused so much about their relationship it left almost no room for actual individual screen time or character development for either of them. Like all they did was use some algorithms and their intelligence to solve some seriously hard problems, but it made them seem more like robots and tools to solve the conflicts in the plot. All I have left to say is that I still ship Jackie+Max.

Now I wanna talk about Alex and Brooke. Tbh I never saw much chemistry between the two characters in any season. Like yeah Alex was a good guy that was with her at the right time when she went to the cave at night in like season 1 where he fought off the park ranger, but still it didn’t feel like a real relationship. This continues into season 3+4 and I was sooo happy when they broke up (but why did she have to do it during a basketball game? Heat of the moment I guess) Also, even when Alex was “trying to be a good friend” to Brooke, it came off that he was still trying to get back together with her even though it is obvious that she is just not ready? And near the end of season 4 after she talks to Jason in the hospital when she and Alex were talking, I cringed so hard when he admitted that he was having trouble being just friends because it felt to me that he was trying to guilt trip her into getting back together with him which is just so wrong?!?! Again, I wish to delete this scene from my brain.

Lastly I wanna share my opinions about Sophie, Parker, and Enzo. Let me start out by saying I think in season3+4, Sophie was my favorite character. I mean come on how could I not love her? She is determined to chase her ambitions like the bad ass she is even with her past (which I’m super mad that they didn’t really delve into her past because that could have made the show a lot more interesting). I also liked the introduction of a character like Enzo since it brings a new kind of person into the show and makes it more realistic because for the most part these kids seemed a little “too perfect.” Though, the writers didn’t use him to the full potential that he has which sucks for the viewers and the actor too and based on what we saw he is pretty good. Anyway I liked how he is actually a softie at heart and does the right thing for Soph. Now I wanna talk about the Sophie+Parker ship. Honestly, are the writers trying to pair up literally all the students together?!?! Again like Emma and Max, I felt that this wasn’t a real relationship; we’ve barely seen these two have any romantic chemistry and I view them more like a good pair of friend (class clown/funny + class president/serious dynamic is something I love). That’s all.

Quick opinion: Louis just felt off since the S3. I mean I get that he wants to better the students, but causing fights seemed wayyyy out of line for his character. So that was weird. 

Anyway that was all of my thoughts (at least for now) about Greenhouse Academy! Even though it seems like I hate the series based on my complaints above lol I actually really liked it and hope for a season 5 (crossing my fingers) where the writers and other staff can hopefully redeem themselves by fixing the problems above. If you have any thoughts about the show, please do talk to me about it because I LOVE chatting about the shows I’ve watched. 

[sleepymouses]

tagged by @littlepetbee, thank uuuu <3 i spent way too long thinking about htis lol,

Rules: pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions, tag a bunch o ppls to do it too (if y’all want to, supes no pressure or anything!)

Natsume yuujinchou  (a teenage orphan who sees spirits/monsters sets out to free the spirits who were bound in magical contract by his grandmother after he inherits a powerful book, aided primarily by a spirit who appears as an exasperated fat cat (who is just as fun as he sounds). Titular character is like my Fave boy in the whole world, he’s so kind and soft despite all the hardships he’s faced, the series has very gentle pacing/character development, and each episode is a carefully crafted lil story that have often moved me to tears, chuckles, or outright chinhands of fondness as u watch natsume slowly find a home in the world and amongst the humans &spirits around him. big focus on friendships, there’s like no romance with any of the main characters, lots of cool different creatures (most of whom arent all that scary once u get to know them), its just literally everything i could ever dream for in a show and it exists! <3)

Leverage (team of modern day robin hoods ruin rich peoples’ lives via  delightfully crafted spy cons to give back to the regular folks the rich people hurt. Extremely good, strong found family vibes, and v cathartic)

Brooklyn 99 (follows diverse cast of character who make up a NY precinct. Hilarious, immensely wholesome & groundbreaking, & probs the most lighthearted crime show besides like psych tbh)

Blackspot/Zone Blanche (spoopy french/belgium crime series set in a small village way out in the mountains surrounded by misty, mysterious and murdery woods. eerie and atmospheric, but also like one of my fave characters (everyone calls him teddy bear) keeps a pet guinea pig at work, so it’s not entirely grim and bleak)

Longmire (a modern western crime drama centering around the titular sheriff and others in their small town wyoming county, well written and lot of chracter development revealed alongside some really good case mysteries bc i love trying to figure out whodunits apparently based on a book series well adored by dads btw)

who is your favorite character in 2? (leverage) ahhh,,, this is hard... Eliot maybe? like Hardison is baby ofc, but i relate to elliot a ton (i think if i was on a team i would want to be the hitter tbh?) and love the subversion of so many action hero tropes that he is, also endlessly amused by how very put upon he is despite all his rad/random skills

who is your least favorite character in 1? (natsume yuujinchou) oh seiji matoba for sure, he can go eat a mouldy tree stump. absolutely evil nasty dude

what is your favorite episode of 4? (blackspot) the end of the road. great opening, didnt end up too devastating unlike a lot of the cases, Hermann was gr8, cool twist i hadnt super expected in the plot which was neat.

what is your favorite season of 5? (longmire) probs 1, walter reeally started to piss me off being Such A Man in later seasons, also me being extremely anxious about Henry and his life choices later, that creepy stalker storyline starting up with Someone and when Someone else in the main cast got died really suddenly and upsettingly later on as well, also when a weird relationship started between some of the characters that i really aint feeling so. before all that happened was nice (also sorry if this is super vague, im trying to avoid spoilers)

who is your favorite couple in 3? (B99) Besides Jake/Amy and Holt/Kevin (bc oviously theyre gr8) uh.. i know it was a long time ago and didnt last very long, but i thought rosa and marcus were really sweet? it brought another layer out to her character, even when they broke up that helped rosa starting to show emotional vulnerability and all, even tho it ended it was still just, idk, i liked them.

who is your favorite couple in 2? (leverage) Does trio count, cos Parker/Eliot/Harding 4 life yo

what is your favorite episode of 1? (natsume yujinchou) i have sooo many faves ahhh!!! i dont think i could pick just one on pain of death, every episode is acrefully cosntructed gem all on its own and i have too many that i love and adore to pick jsut one :((

what is your favorite episode of 5? (longmire) Dog soldier!! ive rewatched that one a ton, so so many good bits, really satisfying resolution of the case despite the shitty system that was revealed, and i rmr getting chills by the end the first time i saw it.

what is your favorite season of 2? (leverage) i guess season 1? just, idk, everything being set up and watching all these grumpies/less grumpies who have no plans to stay together start working together as a baby team, and just the joy of seeing their first heist together with the first plot twist, just.. such a delight, but all seasons that ive seen so far were all excellent, it’s a stellar show

how long have you watched 1? (natsume yujinchou) oh idk exactly, like years and years man... defs the longest out of all on this list

how did you become interested in 3? (b99) i think it was just on netflix way back in season 1 and i started watching it, loved it and never stopped? i think that might have even been before it got rlly popular lol

who is your favorite actor in 4? (blackspot) i dont rlly know any of these french peeps? but teddybear’s one of my fave characters, so hopefully the person who plays him is also cool, in which case hubert delattre (if not, Suliane Brahim does a v good job as the lead)

which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5? (natsume yujinchou, leverage or longmire) um... real torn between natsume and leverage here, they’re both such lovely gems that do found family so, so well.. leverage is a team of modern robin hood-esque spies with brilliant writing and exciting heists and multiple delightful plot twists every episode and great character building and so much catharticism in ruining evil rich peoples lives.

but natsume’s title character is one of my very favorite characters ever, hes been through so much but he becomes the most kindest and thoughtful boy ever, and its so, so soft and gentle in its development of characters and their slow build of getting to know each other and becoming friends, and the interactions with the paranormal world are very rarely entirely malicious/scary, and there’s pretty well no romance, at least like no romance for plot/with the main characters anyways, and there’s lots of female characters who have important roles but arent sexualized/killed off for man feels/exist for romo (which sadly cannot be said about a lot of media, especially manga/anime tbh, even leverage does not win entirely on that front).. its defintiely my favorite anime ever (i dont watch loads, but literally no other one can ever come close to topping its perfection),

i guess tho, leverage is over, and natsume is still technically ongoing, so i guess for that then i have to go with natsume?

which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? (natsume yuujinchou or b99) Natsume for sure, they’re so short its easy to power thru like half a season in an afternoon

if you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? (blackspot) i would probably want to be someone who didnt live in villefranche actually haha uh, it’s a pretty spoopity place.. even some of the characters i do like make some Bad decisions that are v bothersome. Dr. Leila barami seems to have a good head on her shoulders tho, so if i Must be a character here then let’s go with her

would a crossover between 3 and 4 work? (b99 or blackspot) oh god... the cheery upbeat department at the 99 meet up with a grim, misty tiny mountain forest village with bleak day to day life, solving crimes amidst small town paranoia and weird maybe cult-related conspiracies and honestbhly something/s paranormal and menacing going on in the woods?? i just... cant see any of the characters even interacting lol, im just picturing jake’s confused befuddled face when he hears something weird but like x 10000

pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple? (natsume yujinchou) hm... i mean, one of the things i love about Natsume is that there arent really any romo relationships tbh? at least not with any of the main characters in the main storyline (so far), just like the odd one-off of minor characters (and takashi’s adopted parents ofc, but that’s different). so, yeah, i cant really think of one (although i think the big fandom fave ship of takashi and his worst enemy is rlly.. nope, and i dont know what’s going on there? takashi and tanama however, that would make sense, tho it is not unlikely so i cant answer this question with them)

overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5? (b99 or longmire) b99! cos ya know my annoyances with some of the stuff happening later on in longmire lol, b99 just got better n better as it went along, and it’s still going :’)

which has the better theme music, 2 or 4? (leverage or blackspot) blackspot has a real good eerie atmospheric theme which is gr8 and i love it <3 (leverage’s tune is like, elevator music/cheesy jazzy spy tune, which does suit it tho lol)

and idk, anyone bored and stuck at home who wants to do this? no pressure if ur like nah but if u wanna go ahead.... @creepy-friend-of-darkness @anna-wa @rhinky-thingz @rexbasileus @aeolian-harp @warrenkoles @softbrobarnes @damnitttana @cluelesswolf @moondoggiestyle @blloodorangeisthenewblack @my-nail-beds-suck @frankiecolours @savvylikeyeahhh @lake-effectkidx @justhugharry @casualmisandry @j4ya @galaxygalpals @thesecondwarm @dealwright @knipperdollin @curlycombover @kaspbrakeddie (and if i didnt tag u and u still wanna do this, consider yeself tagged)

Disney for the ask game

Thanks for playing! I’m gonna go ahead and assume animated movies only. xD”

Top 5 favourite characters: Aurora, Fa Mulan, Flynn Rider, Hades, Hiro Hamada

Other characters you like: Marie (Aristocats), Bagheera, Tod (The Fox and th Hound), Tinkerbell, Judy Hopps

Least favourite characters:E L S A

Otps: Maleficent/Aurora, Shere Khan/Bagheera, Moana Waialiki/Merida, Fa Mulan/Aurora, Copper/Tod (The Fox and the Hound), Eugene Fitzherbert/Rapunzel, Tarzan/Jane, Tiana/Charlotte LaBouff

Notps: Jack Frost/Elsa, Nick Wilde/Judy Hopps, honestly probably a lot of others too but nothing I can think of right now or may not even be aware of - though generally, I am very on board with canon Disney ships, surprisingly enough

Favourite friendships: Tiana and Charlotte are great, I love Bagheera and Baloo, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps too!

Favourite family: Clearly the found family of Lilo & Stitch - Nani, Lilo, Stitch, David, Jumba and Pleakley!

Favourite episodes: mmmh doesn’t really apply here

Favourite season/book/movie: damn, you can’t just ask my favorite. When it comes to Disney movies, it’s more of a tie than a clear Top Five that can be sorted, because all are equally good to me, in different aspects. Sleeping Beauty, Mulan, Lilo & Stitch and Hercules

Favourite quotes:sooo not a quotes kinda gal

Best musical moment: ...why would you do this to me? *distressed sounds* Okay, so, this doesn’t ask best musical number but best musical moment. Now, do bear in mind that I’m German and watch these movies in German. So do not ask me what the English names of things are. But Hercules when Hercules had that moment of wanting to prove himself, like that song was the antheme of my childhood, I still feel that song vibrating in my heart. There are a whole lot of strong, good musical moments in the long history of Disney movies, but this one is just so very dear to me and speaks to me hard...

Moment that made you fangirl/boy the hardest: I MEAN SHIT CLEARLY WHEN ALL OF CHINA KNELT BEFORE MULAN LIKE, THAT IS THE BEST

When it really disappointed you:when they said “fuck creativity, gimme that nostalgia money” and dialed back on original movies in favor of lame shallow live-action remakes of animated classics YOU CAN STILL WATCH. You can LITERALLY just put that Cinderella in and watch it, no need for that horrendous remake (I swear, these fucking hyper-realistic mice with those gigantic cartoon eyes are terrifying and were a not good decision)

Saddest moment: Mufasa’s death, hands down

Most well done character death:...Mufasa’s death, hands down xD”

Favourite guest star: yeah no this is asking too much of me and let’s be real this is gonna be useless to y’all non-Germans even if I know the answer xD

Favourite cast member: seriously I am not good with voice actors and remembering names of those; actors, when I actually get to see faces, sure, but voice-actors...

Character you wish was still alive: SO MANY MOTHERS. Seriously, they killed off so many moms to have Single Dads take care of their daughters... -_-

One thing you hope really happens: I wished they would go back to making fairy tale adaptations. But... I mean ACTUAL adaptations. Not that shit they pulled with Frozen where they took the Snow Queen out of The Snow Queen and literally only kept that one around and changed EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of the story. And it’s not even the first offender; Tangled had barely anything to do with Rapunzel at all. Princess and the Frog was at least up-front about it with the book and the comparison. But let’s... let’s go back to when Disney actually adapted fairy tales and gave half a shit about said fairy tales? Because otherwise, you could just make ORIGINAL MOVIES! :D”““

Most shocking twist: uuuuuuuuuh I got nothing

When did you start watching/reading?: I mean... when I was a tiny kiddo? xD

Best animal/creature: Bagheera! *^*

Favourite location: Atlantica?

Trope you wish they would stop using: killed off mom :D”

One thing this show/book/film does better than others:I does great story-telling usually and it’s beautiful animation most of the time?

Funniest moments: there are a lot; I don’t really have a favorite

Couple you would like to see: I... I am past the point of wanting to see a gay Disney couple, tbh. They showed how little they care about the community and how cringey and offensive their version of ““representation”“ is so... I got nothing

Actor/Actress you want to join the cast: again; would be useless to you and I don’t really know anyway xD”

Favourite outfit: AURORA’S DRESS *^*

Favourite item: uuuhm Triton’s trident?

Do you own anything related to this show/book/film?: lol too many things, yes xD” I have a large variety of Disney figures! ^-^

What house/team/group/friendship group/family/race etc would you be in?: I would be a Flounder-like fearful sidekick xD

Most boring plotline: recent sequels - Incredibles 2 and Finding Dory - because old sequels sure were cringey and weird but shit happened. These new sequels are literally just the exact same shit reheated... =_=

Most laughably bad moment:Pocahontas II going “you know what this needs? This needs a sequel where she goes to England to fall in love with a whole different male character and forcibly try to be an English Lady!”... It was so cringey that the thought someone thought this was a good idea is downright funny??

Best flashback/flashfoward if any: Let’s translate that to prequel/sequel, okay? Then I’d go with Rescuers Down Under - I love that movie. The only case of “sequel is actually better than OG movie”

Most layered character: This may actually be asking too much, tbh. There are just too many characters to judge that...

Most one dimensional character: Probably a whole lot, considering how many characters there ARE...

Scariest moment: the whole entire fucking Nightmare Before Christmas. Damn that thing haunted me for months and I watched it for the first time when I was sixteen (...it’s mainly because stopmotion is my absolute Kryptonite...)

Grossest moment: Fart jokes

Best looking male: Eugene Fitzherbert? xD

Best looking female: Maleficent! *^*

Who you’re crushing on (if any): I mean. Maleficent. But please do note ANIMATED NOT THAT SHITTY CRAP REMAKE. Not because Angelina Joulie isn’t absolutely gorgeous but THEY DIDN’T EVEN GIVE HER GREEN SKIN

Favourite cast moment: Don’t know any of that ^^°

Favourite transportation: The flying carpet?

Most beautiful scene (scenery/shot wise): The opening of The Lion King is so incredibly stunning *^*

Unanswered question/continuity issue/plot error that bugs you:oh Frozen left me with a lot of those. But definitely not enough to put myself through that sequel and also that shit shoulda been explained in the first movie so there is that :D”

Best promo: ahahaha *weeping* when they claimed that Maleficent was going to take my favorite villainess and give her the Wicked treatment. You... You REALLY had me fooled there and got my cinema going money to see that pathetic excuse of a “woman was abused by man and turns evil” crap like holy shit this has nothing to do with Wicked get that away from me, Mal had SO MUCH potential and you did nothing with it ;-;

At what point did you fall in love with this show/book: I mean, as a little kid. Probably around The Lion King?
