#ALSO THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD GAWD DAMN

[waihtie]

Ladies, Gentlemen, Both, and Neither, things are about to get intense. I felt no connection to this show until this beautiful season.

Season 4 Episode 1 - Lazarus Rising

○ Dean trying to yell "help" from inside his grave. This is literally my fear (except I wouldn't have been able to climb out like he did)

○ No scars from the Hellhounds (thanks for showing us that, Dean 😉)

● But the mark he does got, GAWD DAMN

○ Bobby hanging up on Dean is kinda funny

● Almost as funny as him instantly trying to kill Dean the second he sees him

"You're the closest thing I have to a father!" 🥺🩷

○ Sam not letting Bobby burn Dean's body 💔

○ Ha, there was a presence that blew Dean away (so close to being his words, too)

○ "Hiya, Sammy" 🩷

● LMAO he also tried to kill him instantly

○ "So, are you two, like, together?" Lmao her messing with them

○ Sam didn't even know her name lol. He's changed a bit.

○ Dean's back for 5 minutes, and they're already fighting (he thinks Sam did something stupid to get him back)

○ Dean says he doesn't remember Hell, but he's getting little flashbacks. Is he lying?

○ Sam was immune to something Lilith did. That's gotta be important.

○ Using a psychic to see whatever it is that saved Dean. I was so on edge during this scene last year. I was so curious to know who or what the hell this "Castiel" was (spoiler alert for my past self: he's the love of my goddamn life)

○ "Pam took a peek at him and her eyes burned out of her skull, and you want to have a face-to-face?" My boy used to be quite something 🩷

○ Ugh the intensity. Dean's room getting blasted. Demons being terrified. More eyes being burned out. God, I wish I could get that curiosity back. "What is it??? Who is it????"

○ Okay, I knew she was Ruby, but I forgot Sam knew it, too. Earlier, he looked right into Dean's eyes and said he didn't mess with psychic whatever while he was dead

● But damn, I don't remember this psychic demon killing thing.

○ YES. I RECOGNIZE THIS BARN. No, why cut back to Sam. We are SO close

○ Okay okay okay we're back at the barn. Let's gooo. I'm getting IMPATIENT

○ YES. MY BOY. MY LOVE. MY BABY.

○ UGH the sheer power. He's literally coming in with a bang. Lights bursting. Dean and Bobby shooting him. Ugh they really die my boys power throughout the show.

"I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition" Iconic.

○ Oh, the look in Cas's eyes. He's loving this. Hot. :

○ "That was you talking? Buddy, next time, lower the volume"

● Is that why Castiel's voice is so much lower than Jimmy's???? He doesn't want to hurt Dean again???

○ There it is. The summary of the whole show so far. Cas clocked Dean within 5 minutes of meeting him:

● Ugh Cas is so curious about that. He already sees something amazing in Dean.

○ I, too, would've folded instantly. Bc just LOOK at this man

UGH THIS WAS SO GOOD

Pamela Barnes: Psychic who went blind when she tried to see Castiel

[squarebracketsmileyface]

do you ever picture what things would be like if, somehow, the stars aligned and allowed Tim and Brian to reunite sooner? i had a dream last night where they found each other when Tim was HEAVILY pregnant with Birdie/Birdie was still a teeny-tiny baby, and Brian felt so guilty over losing Jark (Jay/Lark) and overall everything that Hoodie had caused (i go by Joseph DeLage's statement that Brian wasn't in control/not in full control when he was in Hoodie ModeTM), so Brian just went, 'i have to atone for my involvement, and do good by Jark and be a shoulder to lean on for Tim/bonus parent for tiny Birdie since Jark isn't here' and i've been Fucked Up ever since X_X

also, this just gave me the funniest image of Brian just casually wheeling down the sidewalk in Wherevertown going to wherever he needs to be, and ten yards ahead is Tim (with his back to Brian so he doesn't realize immediately), either pregnant AF or carrying baby Birdie in a carrier or whatever, having to stoop/squat to pick up something he'd dropped on the ground; either Brian sees Tim's ass as he's bending over and thinks 'gawd dayum' OR Brian's not as far behind, so when Tim drops the thing, Brian comes to save the day because he carries around a little grabber/pair of salad tongs in the even this situation happens to HIM. Tim either stands up and turns enough for Brian to see his face OR they do the little cliche romcom movie thing where they both just happen to look up at the same time and immediately meet eyes O_O

dear god this got long, one and one thousand pardons aaa

Oh my god I fucking love this. I hadn't thought about this before, but I'm definitely going to now, because god that'd be amazing, things would probably turn out so much more easily for Tim if this had happened. Because in 'canon' he lost Jay, Brian and Alex all at the same time and he feels awful about it. Like sure, Brian isn't dead, but Tim doesn't know that and he massively blames himself for it. He was the reason Brian let go of that ledge and landed just wrong enough for it to kill him. He didn't go back soon enough to check on Brian, to see if he actually was dead, and if he wasn't, was just passed out or paralysed, Tim not going back to check would have doomed him anyway; no one would have known where he was, Benedict hall was abandoned so chances were that no one would find Brian lying there for hours, and if he had internal damage, that length of time was something that'd kill him.

This got... Long :)

Also calling Jay/Lark Jark is so fucking funny, I love it so much 💀

And also also, Tim bending over and Brian being like "👁️ Damn 👁️" At him is absolutely something that happens, in this lil au, and also just in 'canon' Sorry, It's Locked, that's just gonna be them for the rest of their lives. They're gonna be 80 year old men, and Tim's gonna bend over, and Brian's gonna whoosh past him and smack his ass on the way by. They're gonna be sickeningly in love forever. They're gonna be head over heels for each other for the rest of their lives.

This was really fun to think about. I'm probably not gonna get round to actually working on S,IL until after Christmas now, so it was fun to be able to dash out a longish thing about S,IL without having to care about continuity or making it read nicely and all that lol.

So Tim reuniting with Brian right after losing him? I'm thinking they meet before the crossroads episode, while Tim's still trying to get his life sorted out and figure out what to do, where to go, how to be a single parent of a newborn who constantly reminded him of the partner he'd lost. He was in hell. He was beating himself up for everyone's deaths, practically feeling like they were done by his own hands, even though only Alex's was. So if he dropped something, carrying baby Birdie and maybe some shopping bags in his hands, so he couldn't easily grab it himself, and he saw a lil grabber coming out of nowhere to pick the thing up for him, and turned around to be faced with Brian? I think he'd probably have a break down in the street, a little.

I think at first he wouldn't let himself be fully convinced it's actually Brian. He hasn't seen Brian's face since uni, pretty much, except on the tapes, and they're blurry as all hell, so he tries not to get his hopes up. He tries not to kid himself that this helpful guy is Brian. He's thinner than Brian ever was, he has a beard and mustache than Brian never had, he's in a wheelchair and he looks much more subdued than Brian ever did. But this guy's eyes just widen, and he almost whispers Tim's name, like he's also terrified of this being nothing but a cruel twist of the universe.

So Tim whispers his name back, disbelieving and on the verge of tears, putting his grocery bags on the floor and holding Birdie tighter because he just needs to. And Brian nods with tears in his eyes and his lip wobbling a bit as he tries to figure out what he should even say. What do you say to the best friend you haven't seen in years? What do you say when that friend is kinda of the reason you have a spinal cord injury? What do you say when that friend has a baby in his arms and you don't even know enough about his life anymore to know how or when or who.

In the end he just settles on "I'm sorry."

Tim stares at him like he has two heads, almost angry as he asks what the fuck Brian has to be sorry for. Tim's the one to blame for Brian's current situation, Tim's to blame for everything! But Brian is the one apologising? They stay in the street like that for a while, probably too long with how many people step onto the road to walk around them, giving them a mixture of concerned and irritated looks. Eventually they decide to move, head back to Brian's place because Tim knows the lift up to his apartment is broken and has been for ages (he hadn't thought it'd matter before, he wasn't going to be staying there long, planning on moving away from that goddamn town, that goddamn state as soon as humanly possible).

They talk on the way there, Brian offering to carry things for Tim, but realising that the only thing he could really carry would be Birdie in her little baby wrap carrier, because Tim's grocery bags are those really big ones and would tip over really easily if Brian so much as leant forwards an itch. And Tim's not going to just hand his baby over. Sure, this is Brian, but he's been a somewhat malicious seeming presence in Tim's life for years now and he can't quite trust him, not yet, not with his baby, not with the last living piece of Jay that he had left. So they make their way slowly slowly slowly across town, Tim taking frequent breaks any time they get to somewhere he can sit for even a minute.

They talk about everything. Absolutely everything they can.

Brian asks about Birdie first.

"what's their name?" "She's called Birdie."

"That's a nice name, and she's yours?" "Yeah... All mine." Tim says that but with tears in his eyes and his bottom lip curling over as he tries not to cry.

"Yours and..." "Yeah, mine and Jay's." Tim's voice is all croaky when he answers and they reach another place he can sit down, because he just needs a moment to put his bags down again and wrap both of his arms gently around Birdie's tiny body where it's wrapped securely against his chest.

"I'm so sorry." "She's all I have left of him, didn't even know I was pregnant until after he was gone... Finding out was..." "A lot?" "I felt like I was suffocating."

Brian just nods. He feels awful. He feels just as much like this is his fault as Tim does and they finish the rest of their walk in mostly silence. They don't let the conversation stray back to difficult things when they get back to Brian's place, it's just as shitty as Tim's apartment, but it's at least fairly accessible, and he and Brian try to keep things normal for a bit, trying to catch up like they were just normal people who'd lost touch after uni. But they can't really do that, can they? Because they aren't normal people, Tim had thought Brian was dead for years, only to find out he'd been wrong when he thought he was watching him die again. Brian had stolen Tim's meds, he'd stalked him and Jay around for months on end and made them feel almost as unsafe as Alex had.

They aren't normal people.

So the topic finds its way back to MH. They talk about what they remember, about uni and what had happened to Brian when he disappeared after that. Tim finds out that Brian barely remembers most of the last few years, felt like he was watching his body getting piloted around by someone else while he was trapped inside, and he tells Brian about his own memory loss.

Brian remembers at least some scattered bits and pieces from the times he and Tim in the mask were together. He talks about the relief of knowing that Tim was at least alive still, and about how even when he felt like he had no control over himself, he was glad that his body seemed to remember that Tim wasn't a threat, was someone he cared about, someone he loved. He also talks about the end, when he'd let go of that ledge and for the first time in years that felt like an action he had been fully in control of.

He doesn't regret it, he also isn't somehow happy he did it, it was just a thing that happened. What he's really glad for is the fact that Tim didn't have to go the rest of his life thinking he'd killed someone, that he'd killed him. Tim tells him about Alex, about how he had killed someone, and there was no mistaking it for an accident like there could have been with Brian. Tim had slit Alex's throat with Jay's penknife, mercy for Alex and revenge for Jay.

They talk and talk and talk, have dinner together before Tim has to leave to put Birdie to bed properly and take some time to himself so he can scream into a pillow. They get each other's phone numbers though, they refuse to lose contact with each other again.

They meet up as often as they possibly can after that first accidental time, mostly just spending their time at Brian's place, just talking. Tim obviously brings Birdie with him every time, he doesn't have anywhere he can leave her, doesn't have a childminder or anything, and, y'know, she's a newborn, she's only a few months old. So she comes with him. The first few times, she stays in Tim's arms or his lap, he doesn't let go of her the whole time, and Brian doesn't ask to hold her. He gets it. He understands as much as he possibly can from what Tim's told him, about how she's all he has left of Jay, about how he just can't trust Brian with holding her just yet, needs to have her in his arms so he knows she's safe.

Tim's told him about the nightmares he has. He dreams about losing Jay, he dreams about losing Brian, and he especially dreams about losing Birdie. It's almost nightly, he wakes up terrified that she's been kidnapped, or hurt somehow, or that he himself has hurt her, has killed her like he killed Alex, like he thought he'd killed Brian and still can't quite believe he didn't... And like he killed Jay, like he let Jay die. If he'd just put his upset at Jay aside and said they could stick together while they were looking around Benedict hall, he'd have been with Jay when Alex shot him and maybe Alex would have thought twice about doing it, maybe he could have saved Jay.

So when one day Tim asks if Brian would like to hold Birdie, Brian understands just how big a deal it is. He nods, though, he says he'd love to hold her, and he doesn't say a word when Tim fusses around with making sure he's holding her correctly, making sure that the brakes are on on his chair so he won't roll, making sure that Birdie's still bundled up safe and warm. And then he hands her to Brian, and she's a squirmy little thing, making little baby noises and grabbing at him when he cradles her against his chest like Tim showed him, supporting her head and smiling at her with tears in his eyes, because yes, she looks like Jay... But she also looks like Tim.

She looks a bit like Tim did when the two of them first met.

It's her eyes, sure, the shape is more like Jay's, all too big and a bit buggy, a little droopy and looking incredibly strange in her tiny baby face, but the colour is exactly like Tim's.

Tim tells him more about his and Jay's relationship while he holds Birdie, letting her hold his finger and babbling back at her when she makes her little baby noises. Brian decides that he absolutely has to be there for Tim and Birdie. He doesn't even say anything about it to Tim, just decides it for himself as he listens to Tim talking about how he'd tried to count back the months to figure out when Birdie had been conceived. Tim jokes about feeling like a weirdo for it, but he just had to know, he had to figure out what point in their relationship Birdie had started, to know and remember that moment as happily as he could.

Brian listens to it all, he doesn't even really feel jealous, doesn't feel any sort of weird at hearing Tim talking about his last partner. He listens to everything Tim tells him about Jay, the good sides, the bad sides, how awful it was trying to live around being hunted down by Alex and the Operator. Tim even mentions the fact that Jay was clearly figuring out his gender and how awful it feels knowing that Jay never got to live comfortably in his skin before he died.

Brian just listens, he holds Birdie and he listens while Tim gets everything off his chest, and he decides that he's going to be there for him through anything, whatever comes their way, he'll be there with Tim, for Tim. He isn't even doing it because he still likes Tim, because he wants to be in a relationship with him again. He doesn't even necessarily want Birdie to grow up seeing him as her dad too. He just wants to be there for Tim in any way he'll have him, whether that's just as a friend, or as something more.

Broken down DMC anime review below.

Spoiler warning.

Things I didn't like:

-Very political? Like in a weird way? I was getting DmC flashbacks during the news section, which is not a good thing.

-Did she just cock the rocket launcher?

-The vice president is VERY punchable like cartoonishly evil. It made it kinda hard to watch it, just because he made me cringe.

-War crimes? Why?

-This series, as brought up by some or another Tumblr users, paint Sparta as actively evil. Sparta should be portrayed, for the most part, as a hero. He actively was fighting against the oppressors of hell. The only questionable bit of him should be him up and leaving his wife and kids. It makes a unique dynamic of "well, were the stories of him misconstrued, or did something actively keep him from his family? Or is he dead?"

-Why do Agni and Rudra both have 2 heads?

-Why is Cavalier Angelo Here?

-I don't like the new Nelo Angelo design.

-If this wasn't strictly a alternative continuity, I would take a lot more issue with some of the ways they construe the games. Examples:

-Lady really skirts the line from "Badass" to "Bitch". In DMC3, she was just Badass.

-Actively using the word "Devil Trigger" I'm 90% sure is not said a single time in the games (Except the song)

-Calling it "going demon" is even fucking stupider

-Why the fuck is Rebellion already awakened? They had him unlock DT in the anime! They literally never even refer to it as the rebellion!

-Do not like the more DmC style amulets. The original amulets are much better.

-Actually, let me go on a fucking rant real quick. The dialogue in this is shit. You're not marvel levels of bad, but you're real fucking close. The games had amazing dialogue because of how little they actually said, there was short banter, some explanation, and most of the exposition was kept to the files which were written in interesting ways. But even if they needed a way to have exposition, they could've done it way better. Do you know who already perfected the explanation of Sparta's story? Lady, In DMC 3. So why the fuck do I hear it 3 separate times, each more shittily explained than the last? Literally just fucking. Roll the DMC 3 monologue! "Oh but lady has a different va?" Rerecord the same fucking lines then, it was perfect. Why the fuck do I need shitty ass explanation from everyone. I was willing to take it from the rabbit (mostly because he's the only one who can make "devil trigger" sound cool, like he's trying to explain it to an idiot.) versus Vergil in 3 who mostly describes it vaguely, like "so a demon has awakened in you as well." THAT WAS COOL! that was the shit! It explained a.) Vergil already had this. B.) It's something Vergil already expected and C.) Vergil doesn't think of it as a threat to him, but more just to make it an even fight. It gets so much across in so little, and the anime's best episode was the one with zero fucking words.

-Still mad they didn't bring Daniel Southworth back.

-They gave Lady a character arc and then it nosedived into the ground.

Things I like:

-Dante's character design, especially after he gets the new clothes.

-The DT design. Good mix of his 3 + 4/5 DT.

-I think lady's darkcom design is pretty cool. Also, Gawd motherfucking Damn, Dat ass!

-When I see Dante use his pistols, it just makes me think "oh, Dante". But when lady uses hers, it kind of reminds me of ARC troopers from Star Wars, specifically Rex, which I find badass as fuck.

-Magna pistols were dope.

-Enzo having a bigger part was cool.

-I actually quite liked the white rabbit. I hated how they twisted the entire story of devil may cry to make him sympathetic, but as a standalone element, I quite liked his story.

-I like lady's slightly altered backstory. It isn't as good as the original, but it's adequate.

-I love Dante keeps breaking his pistols. In episode 1, my brain clocked them as "those look more like berreta's than ebony and Ivory..." And lo and behold, I was right. I can't wait for the Nell Goldstein appearance.

-The rabbit calling it the force edge was a nice touch, since everyone else calls it the sword of Sparta.

-I liked the nerdy girl because I think she was literally the only one that actually knew what was going on.

-Johnny Young Bosch actually was really good as Dante.

Other:

-Why is Vergil's color scheme so dark? They're going for more of a DMC 3 aesthetic for him, so why not use his DMC 3 colors. His jacket just looks washed out and dirty.

-Why does lady wear her DMC 5 outfit? I would get her not wearing her 3 outfit since she's not really a schoolgirl, but you could've put her in her 4 outfit.

- I 100% called it was gonna be another continuity before release, just from all the weird shit in the trailers.

AIGHT

i was offline for a long ass time cause i was with my gf, we watched the new helluva boss episode and it absolutely fucking RULED (rant under cut)

also i think my shitty luck caught up to me bc i clearly fell apart after this busy week and am currently sick (nothing serious, just a cold but I will be trying to rest anyways)

gonna rewatch the 87 cent solution at some point bc *relate*

but yeah i'll be fine anyway GHOSTFUCKERS RANT

so first of all listen. I'm not a hater often but there's two things I think I will always be salty af about.

"The Full Moon" not being released on the actual full moon in May.

"Ghostfuckers" not having anything resembling 80s synth music. Like obvs they couldn't do an outright parody of the Ghostbusters theme song bc of shitty copyright but I would have thought they'd do SOMETHING 80s-ish. Now, this is purely my love of cheesy 80s movies talking so I'll shut up. FOR THE LOVE OF GAWD, DON'T @ ME.

Now for the non-hater part of the rant

Blitz not coping at fucking ALLLLLL with his breakup (oh no wait you need a relationship for one of those)

Moxxie losing his damn mind over accounting was so fun to see, omfg LET HIM LOSE IT MORE OFTEN

MILLIE'S LORE AND HOW SHE WAS SO INSPIRED BY BLITZ. I'M. I CANNOT BE NORMAL ABOUT THAT cause like. it's literally how I feel whenever I see other queer and neurodivergent people making their way in the world. If they can do it, so can I, and that gives me something to hope for

The horror vibes. Once again, I'm biased as all hell because I find horror as a genre (and the tropes therein) super fascinating. But like. the animation of the fight scenes? TOP TIER. The concept of the infestor demon thing (Rolando? I think that was his name?) being smth thst can possess people and fuck with their memories and make their minds a living hell? Honestly this is my gravity falls hyperfixation talking (yeah that one ain't going away anytime soon, good fucking luck) but he reminded me SO MUCH of bill cipher. Like I seriously want to write Bill doing a "low-light reel" of Ford's or Stan's life with the unfortunate twin in question just sitting there not able to do shit about it. and fuck i'm rambling IGNORE THIS OMFG I always do this agh

And the SONGS. Especially the fact that "I Wanna Fuck A Ghost" (the credits song) was sung by Erika Lenningsen, aka CHARLIE'S VA. 100/10 no notes, the team cooked here

also FUCK YES to Blitz getting character growth

Me while watching Last Twilight Ep. 10

I still don't like Day for being so darned aggressive with Night. It is clearly undeserved and stems from Day's belief that he should be the only "good" son in the family. Also learning that Jimmy apparently impromptu the line "I wish there is a rainbow (Rung)" when Mhok and Day are on the Last Twilight mountain is making me feel things 🥹🥹🥹

1. Oh Mum. You really should stop trying to control Day like that. He is blind, but he is a grown-ass man. Let Day live (and love) gods dammit. Also, what good can come out of making Mhok quit like that, huh?

2. I'll be angry at Mum on your behalf, Day. Yeah, I understand she is scared for you, but life is full of risks. Unless she wants you to go back hiding in your room again <after 5 seconds> Oh, look. Big Brother Night advocating for his beloved Nong and trying to convince Mum to start seeing reason. Unfortunately, Mum is being an effing cvnt. And also being weirdly jealous of Mhok and Day's relationship.

3. Oh my gawd. She hired the crying applicant from first episode to replace Mhok as a caretaker. Goes to show that Mum has some serious flaw in her judgment.

4. Oh, Rung's car is back. Also, is this what you want, Mum? Mhok and Day acting like they are in some kind of Romeo and Juliet play??? The fvck 🤬

5. Yeah, Mum is not homophobic. She's just your average rich snob. Which is just as worse, if you ask me. Also, trying to take away Day's agency (by taking away his phone and changing the Wi-Fi password) must be the cvnt-iest thing Mum has done so far.

6. Big brother Night comes through by sneaking in a new phone for Day. Mum is also cvnt to Night, I see. Again, WTF.

7. I want to cry on Night's behalf. Night deserves all the love, respect, and happiness in the world. 😭😭😭😭 Good for Day for finally forgiving Night (even though Night was practically blameless the night of the accident).

8. Mhok working to be a restaurant cook is like (figuratively) raising a middle finger to Day's mum. As it should. 😅

9. Night already knows Mhok is working at Porjai's restaurant. I wonder who told him <ahem, ahem>. Looks like the NightPorjai agenda is alive and well 😂😂😂 Also, I accidentally let out a loud squeal when Night said "this is my girl" to Porjai (even telling the doctor that she's pregnant with his child). Man, that was smooooth. Like butter 😅😅😅. If only Porjai didn't misinterpret Night calling the woman doctor his "girl" lol

10. A date in a library? Then an art gallery? Mhok is clearly a man after my own heart 😍😍😍

11. Aon and Day being the purest bros in this series. Also, it helps that Aon is a bit unhinged. Just look at him dance lol On the other hand, TIL that colours have different smells. Always thought they all smell like turpentine 😅😅😅

12. All of a sudden, Mum remembers to spend time with her sons. Again, my heart breaks for Night. He looks like an outsider in his own family. Gods damn, mum. You are failing both your sons. How in ever loving fvck did you managed to fvck your relationship with your sons this much??? Thank heavens Day is there to support his big bro.

13. Aww. Mhok was waiting. But at least, Day managed to deliver. Even if it's a bit too late (and the restaurant is already closed). But look at Mhok abusing his new cook privileges 😂😂😂

14. For a moment, I thought we crossed Cooking Crush universe with the pot holder 😅😅😅.

Why do I feel tense and apprehensive regarding Day's surgery? I know P'Aof never delivers a sad ending. Please, don't let this be the first time that he changes his mind 😭😭😭

BEST of BL's in 2023 [Thai edition]

(more accurately my favourites from 2023, so that i have something to show for the 100s of hours i spent watching them lmao)

I Feel You Linger In The Air - Head & Shoulders above (almost) every single piece of queer media i've ever watched. Khun Yai and Jom will be forever icons. That drunk poem confession will NEVER be topped. Also LESBIANS AHHHHHH also the way the show explored intimacy AHHH just end meeee

2. Moonlight Chicken - Aof strikes again. Gave me Uncle Jim, Heart, Li Ming and my baby boy Gaipa- the music, the cinematography, the writing, the found fckin family - i will recommend it to EVERY one on the planet if i could.

3. Be My Favourite- I did not expect to enjoy this show as much as i did. I loved what they were tryna say. I LOVED the queer undertones in EVERYTHING. if not for the asexual erasure and Not being an absolute asshole this would have been quite the perfect show. And man is Gawin so darn sculpted perfection, LOOK AT THAT FACE, how to not admire!? Also Pearmai my beloved. AND THAT POEM in episode 11 ARGHHH

4. Bed Friend - I know this was a polarizing series in a lot of ways and I agree to some of the complaints raised BUTTTTTT NET MY FRENZ NET! How am i supposed to not melt into a complete puddle watching King pretend to not be absolutely in love with Uea, and treating him like the babygirl he is, when he looks like THAT. I'm but a mere mortal.

5. La Pluie - I kinda liked the show and disliked it in equal amounts. Saengtai annoyed me quite a LOT towards the end BUT his brother Sangtien - Suar Kritsanaphong had me in the palm of his hand. Him and his kiss with Lomfon is etched firmly in my brain. It HAD to be on this list.

6. Only Friends - Gawd. The Promise. The Promise of it all. Thats what maddens me THE MOST. There was just SO MUCH that they could have done. Even if they stuck with a lot of their similar choices i would have still put it higher up on the list if they hadn't undone all the good work they did in the final episode. I couldnt even bring myself to rewatch anything from this one cos of how disappointingly it ended. That being said - FirstKhao KILLED it as usual, i CANNOT wait for their next one, BOSTON deserved better and my MVP- Mark Pakin AHHH i NEED him on EVERY SHOW EVER but also in ways concerning to me GAWD WHAT A TALENT AND WHAT A FACE.

7. Laws of Attraction - Charn you guys. Charn and his utterly deranged expressions and his even more deranged ex. And ofc everything else the show offered. The drama. The mystery. The family. The romance. THE LESBIANS!!!!? Few things not to love. Especially the finale with all the domestic husbanding going on. Precious af.

8. Hidden Agenda - Far too much nonsensical plotlessness going on here for this to claim this position BUT i'm just a girl watching Joong swoon over his man and losing it in the corridor and proceeding to do that myself cos man he's so damn good in these kinda scenes. I think he'd be good in more serious ones too but I would much prefer it if it was with somebody who could offer more than Dunk (no shade he very cute himself)

POTENTIAL FAVS

The following is a list of shows i loved/liked it a LOT but still watching/running so I can't fully judge

(in no particular order except the first one cos who am i to put an aof show not at the top of any list)

Last Twilight [BEST THING EVER I AM WHOLLY AND IRRETRIEVABLY IN LOVE IM GONNA REWATCH IT LIKE ITS MY JOB PLS I NEED IT TO STICK THE LANDING SO BAD]

Love in Translation - episode 4 what a beauty, one of my fav episodes of any BL in 2023 ever- just LOVED the whole fake date thing - it was EVERYTHING

Wedding Plan - Leads are cute. Lesbians are cuter. Made me laugh. Also CUTENESS hello

Asks: 3, 24, 28 :D

Questions I Think Would Be Fun To Be Asked ask game!

3) 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

You probably want me to say The Crow but I'm not gonna because that one's more of a seasonal thing, like How the Grinch Stole Christmas but for Halloween.

There are a lot of good movies out there and I'm kind of listing them off in my mind to answer this. The irony is that I don't think of myself as much of a movie-watcher. The adhd makes it hard and it took me years to figure that out. I'll watch 15, 20 minutes, then get bored, stop it, walk away, maybe come back, maybe not. I couldn't figure out why I kind of hated "movie night" with my family for ages. Turns out it was the adhd--who'da thought??? Okay, anyway:

I could probably watch The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly for the rest of my life. I love that movie for so many different reasons.

Kiki's Delivery Service is "my" Studio Ghibli movie. I saw Princess Mononoke first but Kiki is the one that really sings to me.

I should probably throw something random in here, like the uncut version of some MST3k movie or maybe Amelie. I could also watch episodes 4, 5, and/or 6 of Star Wars endlessly too.

Well, that's two and some thoughts on a third.

24) what’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for?

I hate this question. I have no idea how to answer it. We'd have half-assed "mental health" lessons in school and it was all about "setting goals" and stuff and I'm like, damn, I don't have anything that requires a "goal" to be "set." Everything I'm doing is what's necessary, not something that's above and beyond, not something that's like a big achievement. Gotta do this, gotta do that. Yeah, I've got no answer here.

28) do you collect anything?

I've kind of had a Thing for tiny gashapon toys lately. I mean, you understand a love of miniatures. If it's a small version of a real thing, I love it. If it's a small and cute version of a real thing, I love it. If it's a small cute thing real or imaginary, I love it. I just don't need to clutter up my life with tiny trinkets, you know?

Even more recently, since I've started collaging and scrapping, I've been collecting little pieces of paper and images--both physical and digital. These, fortunately, are flat and easy to store, unlike tiny lemonade stands run by the Sanrio character Cinnamoroll.

Even so: look at it. Loooooooooook.

Rement has gotten so much of my money oh my gawd...

[thegeminisage]

star trek update time! I AM BEHIND. tuesday we watched voy's "message in a bottle" and ds9's "who mourns for morn?" thursday we did ds9's "far beyond the stars" and last night we did voy's "hunters" and ds9's "one little ship."

message in a bottle (voy):

THIS ONE WAS SO EXCITING.............

i know vaguely how voyager ends because i have an internet connection but im still like omg omg omg theyre MAKING CONTACT WITH EARTH omg omg

like the whole episode i was so sure something would happen and they would get close but make no progress bc thats been the name of the game so far but THEY DID IT!!!

the emh was great here too. it was fun to see him next to someone who is basically who he used to be. that said, i didn't love who they cast for the other emh...i think it would have been more fun if it had been another zimmerman look alike or. better yet, julian bashir. julian bashir in this episode would have made it PERFECT

seven of nine shocking that guy was amazing. everyone say thank you to seven of nine for finding the communications relay

i get where b'elanna is coming from w seven but like............b'elanna is easily the rudest person on this ship. and i dont hold that against her i know where she is coming from but its hard to see her go damn seven youre rude when she is always snapping at everyone lskdjfgh

that said: Girl Fight

anyway "60k lightyears feels a little closer today" i welled up fr. great job everyone

who mourns for morn? (ds9):

i think i owuld have liked this episode a lot better if it didn't come so close to the magnificent ferengi episode...it's like very typical quark shenanigans and even though he IS my best friend now i don't think this was his best episode. he spent this whole episode just like...trying to do shenanigans and get money which is fine but it's all v surface level stuff. season 3 esque, if you will. the other episode had way more substance to it

that said, i love morn as a like bit character and i love that we found out increasingly improbable and fantastic things about him - cat burglar is almost as good as secret prince

even better when he got back and quark was like DON'T SAY A WORD after we've been talking about how talkative he is all episode and we have not heard him utter a single word in six seasons. incredible

i also like the two aliens who talked really slowly. very fun on-screen presence.

odo giving quark shit in this episode was also pretty good. like he was doing absolutely nothing illegal and odo literally didn't have anything better to do than harass him. E QUARK!

far beyond the stars (ds9):

this episode.

it is such a shame that avery brooks never did anything major outside of ds9. like, a handful of made for tv movies and that's IT?? ik i keep saying this but the man should have been an a-lister. holy fuck. he is SO talented it's insane

i was kinda hoping this guy was sisko's ancestor - that somehow for some reason the prophets were torturing him with visions too? but the fourth wall thing was really good too. and it also freaked me out i love a good fourth wall break <3

outside of the plot of this episode being good, the acting from everybody was phenomenal, but again, ESPECIALLY avery brooks...why can't tng and voyager holodeck episodes be like this?? jesus christ. like this had almost nothing at all to do with ds9 and i still loved it

aside from that, what a treat to see everybody out oft he makeup. some people i recognized ONLY by their voices. we had to pause and rewind several times to focus on what they were actually saying because we were so shocked at how different they looked, and in odo's case, sounded!

anyway, 10/10 episodes. bonus points for the fake jadzia going "oh my gawd she's got a wooorm in her belly" and giggling in disgusted delight <3

hunters (voy):

NEWS FROM HOME THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!!!! i SAID everybody say THANK YOU to seven of nine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was so sure harry wasnt gonna get a letter i was shocked when it finally did come in

tom not getting his letter but knowing one was sent vs b'elanna having no one who loves her enough to send a letter but still learning all her friends are dead...i was glad she gave him a reality check but at the same time...they do kind of work. both of them left behind such shit situations that their lives actually IMPROVED once they got to the delta quadrant and that is Something. semi-reluctantly, i now get it

TUVOK'S A GRANDFATHER......................we've been speculating about his babies and potential grandbabies for 3.5 seasons and now we finally have some ANSWERS!!!!! this is obviously his first grandson but i would still love to know how old the rest of his kids are...i doubt theyre like Babies but young adults? older teens? no one tell me i want to find out on my own

thuh-rilled that janeway finally got dumped by mark. absolutely baffled as to why she and chakotay talked it over like that if they weren't gonna be endgame...when tf did they decide to get him with seven instead? like i don't object because then i don't have to pick between jc and j7 i guess but what the fuck?? it makes no sense. i'm not really Seeing jc7 in my mind palace yet but i'm trying

one little ship (ds9):

this one was so funny. spend an entire episode struck by the lighting bolt from mario kart

o'brien being like saauuur preoccupied with his size also...hilarious. he wanted to kill julian every time he made a pun. don't worry o'brien your wife will understand

that said, really good when julian talked him through those repairs. i think it's easy to forget how fucking smart o'brien is but julian literally did not forget. he solved problems.

"fry every cell in my tiny body" or whatever tf julian said. his tiny, tiny body

when worf was worried about his wife but she came to save him but she was 1cm tall

sisko delaying the repairs was really good...i feel like he meets a jem'hadar and the first thing he tries to do is make them feel a sense of personhood so they can get angry about the injustice of their situation. like, it shows that he has empathy but it's also an incredibly effective tactic - people like as respect sisko as a captain and as someone who fights fairly, honorably, and effectively in battle, so they all hold his opinion in high regard - and the sitch with the jem'hadar is SO skeevy that like of Course they are mad about it. so he can pretty easily manipulate them if he plays his cards right which is? fun and sexy

bonus for kira becoming hysterical at the idea of o'brien and the others becoming that tiny. i think this is when he started to get insecure

edit: i did forget to say initially i really hated the use of "alphas" in this episode. it was very bad and i did not enjoy it any time they said it.

TONIGHT: voy's "prey" and ds9's "honor among thieves."

[waihtie]

Long post, but boy, was this episode good

It was an important one for Cas's character

Season 4 Episode 16 - On the Head of a Pin

○ Starting off with Cas. Finally not making me wait.

○ Dead angel 😢

○ Dean yelling at Uriel. That's actually comforting. You tell him off, baby

Omg and Cas trying to butt in to help Dean calm down and understand

Uriel: "and WE" *long pause to look at Cas* "don't care"

Then both Dean and Cas's reaction. My gawd

○ Angels from their garrison are dying. They want Dean's torture technique from Alastair for Alastair to get information

"You can't ask me to do this, Cas. Not this"

Doesn't even bother to try to reason with Uriel. Castiel already has such a soft spot for Dean (and honestly, vice-versa)

"I want to talk to Cas. Alone."

They knocked Cas down a peg...

"They feel I have begun to express emotions"

Y'all have spoken for all of 20 minutes altogether. Over all the episodes. Jesus. (I love them)

○ Literally nothing Dean's doing is bad enough that the angels couldn't have done worse. Stabbing. Pouring holy water. Could've saved him all this psychological torture / trauma (not that angels care)

○ Alastair saying all the things to hurt Dean the most. Apparently he tortured John for a LOT longer than Dean

○ Sam drinking Ruby's blood. Disgusting

○ Anna's here. For what? There are orders to kill her (Cas won't, she knows it)

(This is a prime example of why I write these out. Cas says her human body was destroyed. I have 0 recollection of that)

● She's feeling protective of Dean. That's why

○ "Who are we to question the will of God?"

Oh Cas, you'll do more than question it (I've read some spoilers)

Anna doesn't think any of this is God's plan. Someone else is coordinating it all.

Cas doesn't like the doubt she's pointing out / enhancing

○ Woah hold up

Dean starting torturing broke the first seal

Bc he was a "righteous man"

And bro still doesn't think he's good enough

○ Oh Dean's getting beaten up by Alastair

Cas saved him. Hotly. Goddamn. Love to see him all badass.

Also, whoever writes the fighting choreography loves to have Cas choked. Whoever you are, I love you.

I guess Alastair just has a thing for choking in general

○ Sam coming in to save Cas and Dean (he's getting strong, wow). Torturing Alastair for info too. Damn.

○ Alastair says it's not Lilith killing angels. Things are heating up.

More is being introduced (which is good, the lack of plot gets boring for me)

○ Cas saying the trap holding Alastair shouldn't have broken the way it did.

Sam being bold to Cas. I love that. Sam knows it's not the demons killing Angels.

○ Cas admitting to Uriel he isn't sure God's running the show (Uriel dipped out of there so fast)

Now to Anna

"I'm considering disobedience."

"For the first time, I feel."

The POWER behind that.

○ CAS CALLING URIEL OUT

He knows

Only an angel could've broken Alastair free like that

Plot. Twist.

Oh great. Uriel's gonna try to kill Cas. And that's right where an ad pops up. Come on.

Uriel has been betraying them all. He hates humanity. He wanted the demons to win. Get Lucifer to start the apocalypse and wipe out humanity.

He wanted Alastair to kill Dean

He's killing the angels who are refusing to join

ANNA saving the day. She started off so bland, but I'm liking her in this moment.

○ Awe Cas checking on Dean in the hospital. This interaction is so cute.

○ Dean feeling all the guilt of starting the apocalypse 🥺🥺

NOW WE KNOW WHY THEY SAVED HIM

" the righteous man who begins it, is the only one who can finish it"

That's a lot of pressure. Damn.

"I'm not strong enough" Baby 💔

He has so much self doubt.

I love this episode. I love seeing Cas becoming an individual.

Hey future self, you already forgot. Sam killed Alastair with his psychic powers.

[hismercytomyjustice]

!IWTV SPOILERS FOR 2.06 AHOY!

SWEET WOUNDED JESUS.

Oh my GAWD.

I WILL NEVER FINANCIALLY RECOVER FROM THIS

Oh no nO No NO

Agent Real Rashid?!

Claudia and Madeleine OTP?!

MOMMY IS HOME AND IS PISSED?!

OH NOOO

We are really in the toils now

┻━┻︵ \(°□°)/ ︵ ┻━┻

FFFFUCK

ugh I JUST UGH

I know Claudia and Madeleine don’t get a happy ending, but FUCK if they don’t make you hope and believe they might. Their chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS

and Claudia is SO HAPPY (ಥ﹏ಥ)

I would pay money to watch a show just about them in love and cavorting around the globe, murdering together and just being so PERFECT for each other

*sounds of violent ugly crying in the background*

UGH. Just. The whole scene from her throwing the iron through the window to Claudia fucking annihilating her attackers. The fucking scissors…

DAMN that Lestat blood is STRONG

I am partially kidding, I think Claudia loves theatrics and violence all on her own, but it just really drove home for me how a huge part of why they fucking hate each other is because they are too similar to one another

Can you fucking imagine a fully adult vampire Claudia (or at least treated like one) in all her glory? She would be running that theater like the goddamn NAVY

UGH I am just SO SAD we will never get her full story. It’s so poignant in a way, her life ultimately cut short so young not once but twice. But, fuck, both Bailey Bass and Delainey Hayles are two of the most captivating and talented actresses I have ever seen. It has been such an absolute joy to watch them bring this character to life.

I know I have gushed excessively about how much I love all of the actors, but every episode I love them even more! I love the little behind the scenes bits after the episode too where you see just how much passion everyone in the cast and crew has for telling this story. It’s what makes it so fucking breathtaking!!!

I am UNWELL at the thought of next week’s episode. But I am also foaming at the mouth for it.

It is going to be SO GOOD and yet so wildly fucked. I can feel it in my bones.

( ༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ ) god help us all

I just wish we got a few more seasons episodes with Madeleine and Claudia *sobs*

[igonecrazy]

Good Omens season 2 made me so happy while also breaking my heart...

I couldn't stop smiling the first four episodes..it was just so damn cute..and I adore every piece of their past that revolved around each other that we got to know about..like there was the first season but this season was so much about them and learning about just how much deeper into each other's shit they were..

The last few minutes broke my heart..they absolutely broke it..i cried so much.. I'm a sucker for they were deeply in love but then one couldn't confess and the other thought the other would love something else more over them but there's nothing in the world that actually matters to them over the one who thinks they're not worth it..ykwim?

Good Omens Season 2 was a beautiful beautiful show..i was scared that what might we get and what might happen and the usual fears of what if it's not good and the sequel ruining the prequel..but gawd..I was so happy with it..it made me cry so much because I was so invested in their story..I can only thank @neil-gaiman for creating this show alongside everyone involved..

[auspicetaker]

umineko thoughts so far

started reading umineko with very little context other than "the gay people in my phone seem to really like this" and i click on the let's play and it's just.... a bunch of rich people explain their names to you in an airport. this goes on for three hundred years. after this it's just thousands and thousands of words of interfamilial squabbling and intrigue and battler being a nasty pervert. but tHEN

umineko spoilers chapters 1 and 2

after that first murder where you find six mangled bodies in the shed and a magic circle painted on the shed door... then you know you're in for some truly wild shit . and it escalates from there. so much about like, the cruelty of the family/servant class divide and how over and over the servants are dehumanized and treated like scum by all the adults, while the kids are able to find common ground with the servants but also ultimately tend to side with the adults in excluding, suspecting, and passively killing the servants.

i was so fucking mind blown by everyone dying at the end of the first chapter. that shit whips. i love when everyone dies. and i LOVE getting a window into beatrice's timeloop hell dimension.

then we get to episode 2 and right off the bat they do some rly cool shit with shannon - sorry, sayo's - and kanon's characters and interrogating the dehumanization of the servants. so fucked up how beatrice was like "no shannon you're not furniture, you can have a heart and know love, im nice :3" and then took it all away. just girly things. teehee. she's so evil.

fastforwarding to the end of episode 2..... OK WAS NOT EXPECTING BATTLER TO ACTUALLY SUBMIT TO BEATRICE TO THAT DEGREE I WAS SCREECHING AND HOOTING AND HOLLERING AT THE LEVELS OF FEMDOM HAPPENING MY BOY WAS LEASHED UP CRAWLING AROUND AT THE DEMON PARTY OH MY GAWD

although of course he snapped out of it eventually and went right back to being the Facts and Logic Guy

but not before beatrice did uhhh *gestures* all of THAT to rosa which i was also completely floored by, obviously i loved it, who doesn't love a little forced cannibalism. beatrice really said "i put your big brother in the juicer like 12 times and kept killing and reviving him to get the really good blood and now im going to force feed it to you" GNSFHOSIJLGHSLK:JGH:EORUGHNLSDFKNSKJ:DLFNS:IGH I DIDNT THINK IT WOULD BE THIS FUCKED UP???? again i love it, huge fan of things that are fucked up, but damn!!!!

also all of the meta with the other witches who keep showing up in between timeloop resets. i have 2 thoughts 1) these bitches are clearly dyking (lambdadelta and bern....whatever her name is) and 2) do these cool witch ladies also show up in higurashi? do i have to read higurashi now?

[slytherinshua]

[kliunkii]

pup listens to new music

episode 1:

Swans - "To Be Kind" 2014

i've been genuinely intrigued by this artist because i've heard many comparisons to other songs that i enjoy and i've gotten the impression that the music is going to be very raw, very powerful and dramatic ( and i really love that sort of stuff ).

i thought it would be good to start off with this album cuz i've seen this fukin babies face so many times xd

but hm guys i dont knowwwww.... just because the songs are 20 minutes long it doesn't mean that the songs are gonna be interesting to me.

i really enjoy music that feels like an experience/a journey that you have to travel through, while the song progresses and changes during the runtime.

but gawd damn guys i am sorry i could not bother listening to all of these songs. for all the talk of the tracks being very powerful and painful, i didnt feel shit. i do see the appeal, i definetely do, its a moan-y... gray... something that a depressed old man would listen to... but that is just not for me. i am not depressed lol! i need something more colourful, energetic, hysterical and bright.

the only track that actually grabbed my attention was the last one - "To Be Kind", because that song packed an actual punch. i could actually feel some sort of anger and anguish in it, unlike the other tracks.

all in all i honestly feel like i didn't understand this album or perhaps listened to it in "a wrong way" ( i was in the gym and walking to the store while this was playing in my headphones xd ), so i'd like to give it another shot sometime soon.

i'll also try listening to another album from Swans

[knowlessman]

…idk, world heroes mission ig (bnha movie 3)? not clear on whether the Hawks minisode thing is before or after it so I guess I'll watch it after

"quirk doomsday…" k so they don't like quirks, they're like the non-bender faction in korra. Still kinda feels weird tbh when you got powered folks and non-powered folks and they make a faction that stands up for non-powered people and then make them unambiguously evil. Granted, I'm making assumptions because this group is ticking every box on the "evil cult aesthetic" checklist. -- "we, pure humans…" you, sir, are a vedalken. …uh, that is to say, blue. you are blue.

ho shit they got a death star? …oh, sewer gas or summat -- …a… mutagen thingy? no, it's boosting quirks… -- "you don't have a quirk, do you? and you didn't happen to randomly get murdered by the twenty-odd major disasters we just set off that demolished half the city. congrats, prolly half the people you know are dead but some of them had powers so it's fine"

"ohey, we don't have a hero from egypt yet" copies some clipart "there, now we do"

…WHAT??? HOW LONG HAS HE HAD THIS ALT SKIN? should I have got a few episodes in first? gawd, figuring out anime movie timing is flat-out impossible

ohey it's that guy from this movie that people like

dang, the animators are showing tf off with this chase stuff. the parkour's almost reminding me of mirror's edge 'XD -- pfft, then he just casually rail-grinds down a staircase bc I guess his quirk is being from a tony hawk game

why do I have the annoying feeling I should be recognizing this eyepatch gu - wait. spends ten years scrolling thru his own tumblr looking for his comments from the first movie okay eyepatch guy KIND OF sometimes has a similar face to the, I think, swordkil guy from the first movie, but the hair is not even close, nvm -- um. …shit what was even happening. marcellus wallace's soul, right. cept I think it was a jewelry store, so more like his pinkie ring?

ah k, so rody rhodepecker gets wallace's soul cuz he thought it was the gems he'd had before, so now rody's in the main plot and I guess eyepatch is dead and the chipmunks are gonna have fewer dolls to pick up -- (deku and rody fight over the case and it falls open) marcellus wallace's… tax returns?

"we gotta move somewhere safer. I know! THE TOP OF A MOVING TRAIN is the perfect place to set down this civilia - " okay fine, "suspect"

what kinda topsy-turvy world is this where midoriya gets on a country's most wanted list before God Explosion Murder? …I forget, Bakugo STILL never got hisself a hero name, right?

ah, so the local gov is all in the doomsday cult. …eyepatch seemed to think those papers were important, but deku found nothing of interest, why does everybody want marcellus wallace's tax returns? I guess it's got important inside cult info in code?

"he's going to klayd. bakugo, come on, we have another country we need you to endanger" -- you know you're important when they assign the stelfiest cops on the force to tail you. todoroki and bakugo better find a corner to walk around if they wanna lose these guys

not the sharpest rat on the street, this rody, huh. also, deku's a heavy sleeper apparently. had his hand all over that case and rody was able to just slide it away with no problem. -- you, sir, are an inuyasha villain

-- ("why did you protect me?") "saving people with a smile" is never gonna stop feeling like a brand slogan to me.

…okay, road trip montage ig. good stuff ig. -- "you have a quirk, right?" deku you were fucking born without a motherfucking quirk what the hell kind of a question is that. anyway clearly the farting bird is rody's quirk

(rody gets blasted off a cliff then ice jets show up and idfk stuff) wowee, dangit guys, you're makin me dizzy with the camera zipping all over the damn place -- under the blades bakugo UNDER THE FUCKING BLADES THAT HELI IS GONNA MAKE A SMOOTHIE OUTTA YOU HAVE YOU NEVER WATCHED AN INDIANA JONES MOVIE -- …well damn, Green Arrowette, dramatic enough?

aha, a sneakret compartment -- and obviously it's the puzzle toy from rody's childhood because cults are all about getting the kids involved -- bet the cult woulda loved it if rody had solved it way back when and fucking swallowed the data chip. …random question, where does nintendo get off putting an entire game in a choking hazard just because they can? irresponsible af

"I'm one of the scientists that the cult kidnapped yadda yadda yadda plot stuff final message" and. and they just. plugged this into a computer and hit play. with the speakers on. in a hotel lobby or wevertf this is. with civilians watching tv. FIVE. FEET. AWAY.

bakugo: "only an idiot would make a key without telling you where the door was! where's the place with no bombs… there! that's where their base is!" BULL. SHIT. BAKUGO. IS A HACKER. also bullshit because didn't the first bomb go off literally a hundred feet directly above their base? -- "I'm working on it, damn nerd!" - hackugo the hackerman who apparently is the only computer literate person in the room

okay these wobbly giggly sword-whip guys bakugo's fighting, them I kinda like tbh, designwise at least. …I guess because they just remind me of so many soul calibur characters at once 'XD

"they told me they'd stop the Otheon bomb if I give them the key" okay ten trillion percent he's faking this time, right? …right? -- ohhh, eddie soul. I musta been barely listening to… uh. um. eyepatch guy's audio log 'XD -- "my quirk is that silly pink bird with the mask that farted on you earlier" -- "and also dodging really good" - ohp, okay, not dodging good enough tho

HIS QUIRK IS THE FARTBIRD I WAS FUCKING JOKING. I mean like cool he has a ranger animal companion ig, hell, Minsc has kind of the same thing going for him and he ruined at least one Magic format with it

(bakugo finally won his match)(todoroki is still drowning) freeze the water dumbass, damn -- oh wouldja lookit that, he froze the water

"his quirk has a limit!" I mean, I guess. wobbuffet's only got so much hp. …I swear to god this guy was probably literally and actually and in fact based directly off of wobbuffet, it would explain everything about his visual design -- "you gave up on trying to get people to like you, heroes never give up" deku please just shut the fuck up and finish this fight, every single time you try to say something to somebody about their backstory, you just come off as an ignorant dickhead

"there's no explosion…" marvin martian: "where's the society-shattering kaboom?"

(the fartbird plugged the thing in, probably ages ago) go for the eyes, Boo! the one in texas goes off anyway because the power grid failed again and the disarm code didn't get transmitted to the bomb

oh goody, the not-corrupt police officers arrested the one that was. he was definitely the only bad apple in the bunch, yessiree

…ayup. movie movied. villain had paper-thin motive compared to all for one's easy-to-grasp god complex or the actual literal nightmare that is tomura's, but wever. and rody's fun.

the Hawks Soothe thing is five minutes, huh. -- I think bakugo listening to todoroki's "write 'people' on your hand then eat it" thing is the first hint of character development for bakugo I've seen in maybe this whole WHAT in the FUCK is THAT supposed to be

-- hawks just casually strolling up wearing the carpet from the Shining

jesus christ my guy, this is why they knew to put you in that hannibal mask

okay so this was literally just a prologue of them clowning around in the airport for a couple minutes and I shoulda watched it first, I had them in the right order in my notes. …dammit

anyway, on to s6 ig - wait no apparently there're two OVA bonus episode thingies for s5? huh, it's them playing baseball. lol shoji's got three bats in the cover image 'XD

[hughungrybear]

****Late to the party because I managed to fail my driver's licence test, so I'm going to cheer myself up and binge-watch the series on my list 😔****

Me watching Only Friends Ep. 8:

1. Based on the preview, this episode's title (Save Me) seems very apt to what is about to happen.

2. Cheum looked like she swallowed a lemon, but I guess her concerns are nothing compared to what is Sand's feeling as Mew and Ray grind drunk on the dance floor 😔. After all, the shittiest feeling is knowing exactly what is causing your heartache, but are powerless to do anything about it - except walking away that is.

3. Ray admitting he is so "damn happy" when he is with Sand, but still thinking that Mew is the one he loves is so frustrating. I want to reach out and shake this baby boy hard to see some sense. 😤😤😤

4. Wait, why are Yo and Plug fighting??? I thought they were already lovers? <after five seconds> Oh. Oh. Yo, if you are not ready for a relationship, then you should have never started at all. I'm with Plug on this one. 😔 Sidenote: P'Jenny's silent tears in this scene is heartbreaking. 😭😭😭

5. It looks like Mew will be losing everything he worked hard for if he doesn't stop his downward spiral. Although, I'm not sure if Top is the one who can save him. Truthfully, I just want these boys to be able to save themselves.

6. Okay, so at least it looks like Top's intentions are good. Unless he is lying to Cheum (about not caring if Mew comes back to him or not, as long as they save him), I guess there's a glimmer of hope for this character.

7. Gosh, Papang is simply everywhere. Does not matter whether it's BL, comedy, thriller, or your garden-variety lakorn. Papang must be the most tired actor in GMMTV for 2023 😂

8. It sure looks like Nick was summoned, not only for his tech skills, but also to become his senior's next boyfie 😅

9. "If licking your a** can get me this job, I will do it". ~ Nick

Oh. My. Gawd. I do think Papang's character will literally take you up on that offer, Nick. 🫣🫣🫣

10. Oh, at last, Title is here. I have been wondering about his role for this series.

11. Ngl. I just want to slap both Mew and Ray. It is pretty obvious how they are forcing themselves to look like they are having fun with each other's company. My head hurts just by looking at these kids.

12. Oh, Nick. Listen to Sand. STOP MOVING IN CIRCLES!!! BOSTON AIN'T WORTH IT. 😑😑😑

13. Ray, make up your damn mind. Either you love Mew or you want Sand. Pick an effing lane. Good for Sand for shutting that sh*t down.

14. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Atom (Title) and Cheum are siblings??? And Atom is interested in Boston? And if Boston take Atom up on his offer? What then??? Wtf will happen?

15. Sand still worrying about Ray despite everything is just depressingly sad.

Still not convinced that leopards (Top) can truly changed their spots. Looks like Sand will not be able to stay away from Ray. And Boston literally screwing Cheum's lil bro will definitely not go well. Gods, now I'm even more depressed after watching this episode lol. 😅
