favorite jjba women, parts 1-7 (and a lil bit of 8), but with hella criticisms lol
erina: she's erina. i worried about the way she was written for a while (and then the male characters are like "oooo she's such a pure soul, the perfect woman cuz she doesn't complain oooo"), but when she's older in part 2, it's clear she's not a fukn pushover
lisa lisa: certified badass, knows what she's worth
holly: again, i mostly don't like how she's written, similar problems as erina. but when she talks back to joseph i'm like "damn she was in there all along"
enya: i feel like people sleep on what a stone cold badass she was, just because she was an old woman. stand was fucking cool and menacing as hell. i was disappointed by the OVA version of her. i don't mind the "enya as a young woman" thing but they literally just did that to turn her into eye candy. closeups of her tits on screen probably take up more time than those of her face.
mariah: writing problems again. i would've loved to see what they would've done differently with her character in the OVA, though they didn't seem great with how they depicted women either. she had so much potential tbh
tomoko: "oh? you'll go anywhere i want? then you can go straight to hell"
yukako: "it's the light's fault for turning red!!" TELL 'EM
shinobu: i thought she was so interesting and headstrong at first but then it had to turn into a cutesy love interest thing. you're better without either of those loser husbands, ma'am, dump his ass
reimi: her design is adorable, and also very refreshing compared to usual "vengeful ghost" characters. she kind of gives this image that just because someone needs justice in order to rest doesn't make them evil or venomous or whatever. tfw your ideology is rooted in compassion
trish: could've been reduced to nothing but a "damsel in distress" but she was demanding, wouldn't settle for not knowing what was going on, refused to just sit there as told when she knew she could take action. as for my problems... sigh... if i get into it, i'm just gonna end up punching a wall tbh
jolyne: LET'S GOOOOOO
guess: i mean she sucks as a person but this ain't about that lol
hermes: cool design, wish she'd been more fleshed out as a character though (but my memory sucketh, i need to rewatch)
miraschon, woman who takes your liver: i mean she takes your liver
hot pants: could snap a man in half (if she didn't already, i forgor)
kei/kyo nijimura: one day i'll get her damn name right. her stand is fucking cool but i have complaints (i mean i have complaints about all of these characters, except maybe jolyne, but it's 95F degrees out, i'm a Chronic Misogyny Experiencer, and i feel like most of my issues are honestly a given dhsjfjdjfj). if she's supposed to be jotaro as a different gender, or even just inspired by jotaro, then commit. where's the biting sass, the bitter sarcasm, the turning lions into mice with just mere words, the obvious tenderness swelling underneath. those are some huge things that made part 3 jotaro so beloved as a character, and it feels like such a waste. i mean if i could draw i'd honestly just redo every single scene she's in myself.

ok so, been wanting to mention -
catra's ears. omfg. who doesn't love em? i mean, i'm sure some people don't, but i've never talked to em rofl cause tbh, i'd prob rather not -
i would need to do a rewatch in full & pay close attention to say for sure, but i'm fairly certain, much like the addition of melog, s5 puts catra's true feelings on blast w her sweet lil ear cat-reacts more than the first 4 seasons combined.
the ears drooping -
the ears perking up -
wtf lol - cut it out!
she got rid of her kinda youthful lil hackles (that she'd had since the earliest years we see her in their childhood memories) after shadow weaver conned catra while they were in her jail cell - catra visiting her, & sw sorta twirling one of the cute lil tufts near her hackle hair -
hoping to manipulate catra into doing what sw wanted her to by this alignment deadline... & i think she spends s1-4 actively suppressing her cute cat-ear-reacts cause of the the way they'd give away her feels. but by s5 after prime? :/ pretty kitty can't help it; she's too traumatized to walk around w any kinda façade anymore.
and of course, catra had already done what sw asked of her. but honestly, i hate any comparison that likens sw to being catra's "mother" cause that would make her adora's too & i've seen antis hitch their argument against them on this insane idea that it somehow makes their relationship incestual (are u fucking kidding me?)
and eh - sw simply just isn't a mother. like, never was for either of them. they were not daughters. they were pawns.
sw was a caretaker at most, and hordak straight up calls adora & catra both sw's "wards" - look up the definition if you need to, but it sooo does not imply motherhood in the slightest. "mom stuff" is the most sw ever did, & all that was just the middle of a venn diagram where some qualities in a military guardian and a mother might overlap. which may make her the closest thing they knew to some sort of parent growing up - but angella was more a mother to adora in her short time around her than sw ever was.
cause teaching someone how to tie their shoes doesn't make one a mom. anyway...
catra leaves the cell smiling, and sw turns to her tray of slop food and gasps -
cause she told catra she was tired and to "come back later" (knowing she absolutely would) but has now seen - that cat don't needa come back. and sw did not gaf if catra did.
ever. and i mean like - ever.
fuck off forever, shadow weaver.
#spop#she ra#catra#shadow weaver#fck off shadow weaver!#ps tho#the cutest kitty cat ears this side of despondos

Ok so what would Mihawk be like with a lover who is very bipolar... like their happy on minute and angry the next how would he calm them down🤔 or yk they get a lil bratty and he gotta put them in their place🌚
WaitwaitwaitwaitWAIT
Hold the F UP, Mihawk AND psychology? You're spoiling me 🤭❤️
Oooooh I can't not do this one right now.
Kinda personal because I have some issues that can result in bi-polar tendencies, so this hits quite close to home for me.
I've rewatched this scene a totally normal amount of times I swear. Totally normal.
Mood Swings
OPLA! Mihawk X Reader
Mostly SFW headcanons, only the slightest bit suggestive, kinda hurt/comfort I suppose
Trigger Warning ⚠️ (possibly) for mental health issues, bi-polar and related disorders
♬♫ Rosanna - The Fratellis ♫♬
Baby, you're a mess, I confess
But I guess that I'll save you one of these days
Mihawk doesn't exactly have the patience of a saint, but he still honestly has more patience than most—you don't dedicate your life to becoming the world's greatest swordsman and actually achieve that goal without at least a touch of patience.
Your mood swings amuse him more than anything. Not a cruel sort of amusement, but a more endearing one. You remind him a bit of a cat—sweet and playful one minute, then all claws and bared teeth the next.
Though as amusing as it can be, he sees how it drains you, mentally and physically, and that more than anything is reason enough for him to stay patient with you in the moment.
He'll keep a level tone, just tells you to calm down, even while you're yelling at the top of your lungs that you are calm, yelling insults and potentially hurtful words.
He can't help but smirk a little at how quickly you fly off the handle, which probably doesn't help your own anger, but he really can help but find it a little entertaining, even a little enticing.
Oh, he wants to shove you against a wall, pin your hands over your head and murmur in your ear for you to behave yourself, to just devour you then and there—but he knows that now isn't the time. That can come later, after you've calmed down.
So he just keeps up a calm and reasonable air about himself and lets you vent out whatever frustrations you need to, taking it with a grain of salt because he knows that it won't last.
Just gives a little sigh once you have calmed down, once you've apologized for whatever you have said or done in your anger.
Tells you it's fine, pulls your head down to rest on his lap while he combs his fingers through your hair until your tension has eased off the rest of the way, not faulting you for your moment of vulnerability. Might tauntingly mention that he *should* punish you for being so troublesome, but he's honestly more focused on ensuring you recover.
He really has more trouble dealing with your depressive episodes—he can't stand the thought of you being so low that you can't even pull yourself out of bed.
Mihawk understands that patience is absolutely vital in such cases, but he's not sure whether it's better to give you space or keep you company; to try to convince you to talk, to just hold you quietly, or to leave you to your own devices until you recover on your own.
So in those instances, he's a bit all over the place, and more than a bit frustrated. More likely to be short or snappish in spite of himself. He desires complete control over all aspects of his life, and being at a loss of what to do drives him up a wall, especially if it concerns your well-being and his ability (or inability) to fix it.
He's not going to put you in your place for anything until he's sure you've leveled out, that it won't trigger you or make things worse.
Not until you're able to calmly discuss what's been going on with you, until you're able to laugh and smile and breathe easy in the wake of your own turbulent emotions.
He might punish you relentlessly for being intentionally bratty, for being a sarcastic little shit and clearly doing it to test his patience for the fun of it. In that case, he might pin you to the bed, might tease you to the very edge of sanity, might make you beg and plead for relief or release, but only then.
You're still his lover, and he doesn't have any intention of hurting you in any way that could be lasting, in any way that isn’t consensual—in any way that could make your inner turmoil any more difficult to bear.

Littlefoot is a BAMF
I rewatched Land Before Time (the first movie) yesterday for the first time since I was a lil kid and like. Holy shit.
Littlefoot, this little kid, upon being freshly orphaned after years of starving in a wasteland, goes off the rails and rounds up a group of other little kids (one of which is a NEWBORN, SPIKE) and one of which that is constantly spewing dinosaur racism (but don't come after my girl Cera all that crap is her dad's fault), led them all across a barren wasteland while starving and being actively hunted.

Look at them. This is right after killing the sharptooth. ZERO REMORSE OR INJURY, just rosy cheeks and smiles. Terrifying little children, my god. Which leads me to this- when he got fed up with being hunted (legit fed up and not just scared), he just goes "You know what? I've had enough of this sharptooth. Gather round everybody I have a plan." and then goes on to formulate a working strategy that allows a group of five little kids to literally murder a bloodthirsty t-rex. Which was entirely justified given the circumstances (if you didn't cry over Littlefoot's mom dying then I don't trust you), but was also done with zero guilt or hesitation.

This is the face of a killer. And until that same t-rex crushed it underfoot, Littlefoot was able to keep his tree-star intact and vibrant for countless miles of travel through everything. Honestly I think it might have been a power limiter his mom gave him, because he came up with that flawless murder plan and then found the great valley minutes later only after the tree-star got shredded. Like Rock Lee's ankle weight. Did his mom know what would be unleashed without it?? Actually in hindsight Littlefoot might have gotten the quietly unhingedness from her, given that her last act was to beat the crap out of that sharptooth so hard that it caused a literal earthquake...and then she appeared in the tree-star, and the clouds...
Hold on. Hold on a fucking second.

Was Littlefoot's mom like, a dinosaur goddess?? Is THAT why LIttlefoot was the only child born in the longneck herd, how she beat down the t-rex while starving and wounded, caused an earthquake, then spoke from beyond the veil to give Littlefoot guidance???
Fuck. GUYS. LITTLEFOOT IS A DINOSAUR DEMIGOD. DEMIDINO. DINOGOD. FUCK.
The movie even follows the same sort of format that most myths do- with the hero going through trials and gaining allies and defeating a feared enemy to achieve some seemingly impossible goal. AND he kept his tree-star alive for that long, even in literal volcanic conditions- how??
Okay so I only realized all of this in the process of writing this post, but. In conclusion. Littlefoot is a terrifying sweetheart of a long-neck demigod, his mother was a goddess, and now I'm scared to ask about his grandparents.

Bonus: If Spike helped commit pre-meditated murder of a gigantic predator as essentially a newborn, than his sleepiness may be mercy upon us given how it indicates a level of potential power above even Littlefoot. Like Hercules killing those snakes in his cradle or something. I don't know. Fucking hell.
(And don't come after me talking about suspension of disbelief and unrealistic limits in movies. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about what the movie itself implies. Goddamn.)

I finished the entire delightful children saga along with Tommy and co. finally dropping in to carry out that epic battle with Father. Meaning, I’m at the Save Rachel from the Evil Building arc. Putting a pause on the Kuki & Delightful children analysis just to generally comment on everything thus far.
Dawg you have me gagged and gooped every chap /pos. Every time someone pops up, it feels like some kind of Avengers Endgame moment & I’m pointing at the screen like “oh hey! That’s minor character blorbo from that one episode!” Genuinely how many rewatches did u have to go thru to get everyone in the narrative like that omg? And which minor character (aside from the gknd gang Ofc) were you so psyched to add in there? I mean I was already so hyped with the Steve but I was definitely pleasantly pleased at the 3 surprise cameos for Zero’s trip to the inner sanctum. Tho tbf you’ve been doing this since (check notes) 2010?! I was like 11, knd operative age omg.
Another fun thing I noticed as I was the almost cyclical tragedy going on within and outside of the knd that’s very prevalent within the story. You already have the insane weight of the Soopreme Leaduh role and as I’ve mentioned before, the tragedy of the dedicated knd operative version of the trolley problem. For now, I just want to touch on that of the Wigglestein-Uno family. If the Delightful Children are doomed by the narrative via tragic circumstances (the love was there but it was too late) then Father is akin to a guy stuck in a pit & digging himself even lower. Maybe the pit is all he knows and it’s easier that way. You can’t get hurt if you bite every hand that’s ever beckoned you to come. Because they could never reach out to you in a way that you want. Because its easier if it’s their fault for not being able to be in the pit with you. Because if they’re able to grow up and move on then what was it all for? He’ll always be that lil kid at the factory. It’s like that quote! If you live with an angry man in your house, you’ll always look for him when he’s not there. Sometimes you become that angry man yourself. Glad Nigel was out in space for a good while cuz OOF he’d have to unpack a lot of that. That being said, thanks for exploring such untapped potential with these two being at odds. Two guys who never actually wanted to grow up at first. But only one of them was able to grow up where it counts instead of stubbornly subjecting the world to the biggest & longest tantrum ever. I actually liked that it’s almost always someone else beating father like Tommy cuz he’s really that pathetic when it comes down to it. That said, I am also digging the slight parallels between Father and Rachel that you’re putting down where it feels like the knd as an organisation takes the people you live away from you by having them give their devotion to the organisation first. And the resentment that comes from being seen as the second choice to it.
Your comments and asks give me life right now, anon, I hope you know that. Thank you :3
If you like blorbos, you’ll enjoy the next chapter and so on. I wanted this to be a sort of love letter to the series, so a lot of minor characters and callbacks get their due if I can make it work!
I have rewatched this show dozens of times
As for the minor character I was most excited to add outside of gKND gang: MOOSK! I LOVE MOOSK SO MUCH (and the character he is based off of. We love Minsc here.)
YES! THAT QUOTE! ITS A CORNERSTONE TO HOW I TACKLE CHARACTERS! CATHERINE LACEY’S WRITING IS FANTASTIC!
And yeah, that honestly sums up a good bit of my thoughts with him. Father is a…fascinating villain to me because in this world of childhood evils exaggerated for comedic effect, he sometimes feels a little too real in what he represents.
“The Lament of the Inner Child” is essentially Father’s chapter and just me exploring him like you’ve already mentioned. Your pit analogy and overall analysis is pretty spot on to how I wanted it to be handled! Thank you so much 😊
And glad you enjoy the parallels! I definitely wanted to take great care in setting all those up in order to get to where I think it will all end. I hope you enjoy the finale!!
#knd#my writing#fanfic#cold reception#codename: kids next door#asks#there’s also a lot of personal knowledge and experience tied into this as well#but I think the best kind of stories have to have some sort of personal connection#father#benedict wigglestein#benedict uno

hi friend <3 How are you?
This might sound weird, but sometimes I watch 1 or 2 clips of TO while reading TW, just to have a clearer picture of each character (especially those like Freya, Vincent and Marcel who never showed up on Tvd) and also to see what you changed from the Story.
Now, call me biased, but to this day I don't understand how your version is 100x more emotional and logical than the actual show 😭😭
An entire team of people who do scripts and directories for A LIVING somehow can't reach the level of your fanfiction. Granted, they give you a very big base to work with, but still.
I watched the clip where Klaus talked to Hayley right before going to Hope, just to see what she said, since they have a different dynamic than Klaroline (both in canon and TW) and i was SO disappointed 😭😭😭
"you were her fairy tale prince, you have a lot to live up to"
AND THAT'S IT?? THAT'S YOU WAY OF HELPING??? GIRL 😭 Honestly, the only cute thing I saw was the flashback of Vincent and Eva at the start!
that's what they mean when they say that curiosity kills the cat, I guess.
Anyway, all of this rumble just to say that you do a spectacular work, and you manage to make likeable, interesting, and logical even the worst kind of shit. You're a gift to this fandom!
have a good one, love u xoxo
Hi, friend! ✨ Sorry it took me a lil to answer this, I wanted to have proper time. 😊
This is so nice of you to say. 🥹 Whenever I get a stupid message about how it's basically the same thing as TO, objectively I know it isn't because I know how much work I put into it, but there's always that little voice of impostor syndrome whispering in my head. You have no idea how it brightens my day to read messages like this. Especially since you went back to rewatch the show!
That chapter in particular has a hell of a lot of stuff that was nowhere near the episode. It took me forever to get the vibes right because I wanted to change how a lot of things were portrayed, which requires a series of nuanced shifts that might seem simple but are not that easy to get right, especially to someone like me, not a native speaker 😂 Sometimes the words just refuse to come. 🥲 But this sums up what I have been trying to do from the very start. I keep the plot points (most of them, anyway), but that doesn't mean the story is the same because so much of the context is changed, there are so many scenes that aren't on the show, which creates major differences in how the characters relate to one another. I wanted to give to give depth to this fucking show, make things make sense and, above all, create a version of TO that would've kept me entertained and interested.
I could honestly write a whole ass essay about this chapter 😂 It's long as hell and I have feelings about it lol But just wanted to thank you for your very kind words ❤️ Sometimes I wonder if there's anyone still interested and enjoying this story or if I'm mostly just writing to get it out of my own system, but messages like this are a boost in confidence. 🥰🫶

.X| "Answer Phone" - Ch.6 |X.

◄ Prev Chapter \Fic Playlist\Ship Playlist\ Next Chapter ►
WHAT'S THIS AN UPDATE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS!? Sorry this is taking so long, but me and @candy12110 are gonna try and get this done! The next few chapters will be from Marvus's POV, and the last one will go back to Chixie's.
Rating:: 13+ // Teen
Fandom:: Homestuck
Themes/Kinks:: None
*1 month earlier*
Marvus was so tired.
He'd been on his feet all day preparing for his set, and he finally got a chance to just breathe without some lovestruck groupie up his ass asking for an autograph, a hug, or trying to fill his quadrants.
It was exhausting being loved.
He was sitting in his dressing room alone for once, trying to relax while scrolling on Chittr. After scrolling past various adverts and stalkerish fan messages, he came across a video of some bronzeblood performing. They were in a seedy little bar, with a small crowd, and terrible lighting. He didn't have high expectations for them but he could always appreciate a fellow performer.
He watched the video to the very end and was mildly surprised by how much he enjoyed it. He went to the comments, and there were only a few. He wanted to comment but his publicist, and his fanbase, would kill him if he did. He could tell the few trolls that did comment were lower on the hemospectrum, they were pretty supportive. However, he did notice one from a familiar account that caused him to internally cringe.
THECODAKKEFFECT:: Great job, Bronzie boo! Sorry, I couldn't make it. I couldn't miss Marvus’s concert but you looked gorgeous on stage.
He stared at the screen curiously, there was no way in hell that indingdong was her matesprit. And if he was, there was no way he had any good intentions behind it, he was known for having his quadrants forever empty.
Marvus rewatched the Bronzie’s performance, the shot was way too shitty to tell what they looked like. Morbid curiosity led him down the rabbit hole, he got the bronzeblood’s name from the video caption and started looking for anything he could find on them.
Chixie? Chixie. Chixie!
He found a video with far better quality that finally showed what they looked like. Chixie was…shy? Nervous? He wouldn't necessarily say gorgeous, but she wasn't ugly either. She was…cute. She didn't have much presence or hype but she was talented.
After watching at least ten videos of her performing and pouring out her soul he could reasonably say he was a fan. Her lyrics, composition, and the way she put her all into her performance even if he could tell she was scared for her life half the time. Honestly, her nervousness weirdly added to her cuteness. Like a hopbeast shivering in fear but still thumping along in an attempt to scare off predators. She was definitely brave, not fierce or powerful, but she held her own on stage and he liked that.
He broke out of his thoughts to a knock at the door.
"Marvus, I'm coming in. I'm tired of all the noise out here," Chahut announced, busting through the door and entering the room with the rest of the purplebloods following her like quackbeasts.
"Honk!" The smallest clown, Karako, ran up to Marvus and hugged as tight as he could. As annoyed as he was with them barging in, he couldn’t stay mad at the little clown.
"Hey to you too, little wriggler. Been causing trouble?" He patted the little clown’s messy fluff of hair, before actually holding onto him.
"Honk!"
"Good. Never let 'em keep you in a box."
"Honk?" Karako pointed at Marvus's palmhusk.
"What? Her? Nothing. I just liked her songs so I was giving ‘em a listen," He waved the runt off, quickly locking his palmhusk.
Chahut narrowed her eyes at him.
“This another one of ya desperate lil’ groupies?”
“Nah, and mind ya business!”
"Mighty defensive are we?" Chahut stalked closer to Marvus. He instinctively moved the hand holding the device away from her, only for it to get snatched by one of the twins from behind.
They quickly opened the phone to see a video of the bronzie girl playing on a loop.
“Aww your love-sick for a lil’ Bronze girl,” Chahut said mockingly.
“How cute!” She quickly busted out laughing with the twins, before Marvus snatched it back!
“Didn’t I tell ya’ll to mind ya business!” Marvus responded with a clenched jaw. He didn't know why he was being so defensive, but he did find the invasion of his space and privacy annoying.
"Why should we? Mr. Unaffected is over here creeping on some bronzeblood. What happened? Embarrassed?" She said smirking and cocking her head.
The twins both shook their heads before speaking.
"You should be!"
"How embarrassing."
Karako just looked up at the bigger clown confused.
"Honk?"
Marvus’s face grew angrier by the second.
"I'm not feeling flushed for her little man. Why do y'all even care?"
“Cause we love to torture you!”
Chahut commented as she gave the device back to him.
He immediately snatched it out of her hands, causing Chahut to jump back a bit.
“Jeez, we were just playin’!”
He glared up at her annoyed, before sitting back down. The room fell silent for a bit before the twins began to speak.
"You're not seriously developing feelings for the bronzie are you?"
"..."
"You're not seriously developing feelings, right Marvus?!" They both repeated in unison.
His face became more annoyed.
“No, I ain’t!”
"Good,” Chahut cut in sitting down on the couch.
”A troll of your status ain’t got no business foolin’ around with some lowblood girl. You remember what happened last time?”
"That ain't gon happen. A, I'm not foolin’ around with her. B, I don't even know her. C, she's not even a fan. D, most important of all, I ain't never even met her before. There is no business happening here. I saw a cool performance and I wanted to see if she had talent. You motherfuckers are the ones making it weird!"
"Fair enough. Just tryna make sure you ain't repeating that bullshit,"
"Time is money. Do you think I can afford to pay attention to every lowblood out there? Is my name Nova?"
"Honk!"
"Right little man! I'm nothing like that fame chaser,"
“Honk! Honk!” Karako aggressively commented, while the other three just rolled their eyes.
“Whatever.” Chahut stretched her arms behind her head.
“I just can’t wait for you to finally be on vacation. You’re takin’ us with you, right?”
Baizli asked.
“Yeah, we got everything packed up.”
Barzum followed up.
“Honk?”
"You wanna go with me?" Marvus walked over to the smallest clown and picked him up, booped him on the nose.
"Honk!"
"I don't know, they been kinda annoying lately," Marvus teased the smaller troll.
Karako turned to the other purple bloods and shook his head side to side.
"Oh, you not a part of they group? I guess you could come with me. We'll leave these losers behind,"
"Honk!"
"Hear that, it's me and little man's duo trip. But, maybe if ya’ll apologize, I’ll consider bringing yas along.” He and Karako gave a small chuckle
"We're so sorry," The twins enthusiastically responded.
"That's two more invited! Chahut you're next."
"As If I'm apologizin’ to your lame ass," Chahut crossed her arms. She barely moved to sit up before having three pleading faces staring at her.
"Ooooh looks like the wrigglers are gonna miss you. How sad. But I guess you're too lame to hang with guys."
"Fuck you."
"That's not an apology. Wanna try again?"
"I'm sorry, Marvus,” She said grumbling under her breath.
“That’s three!” He said, high-fiving Karako.
"Vacation! Vacation! Vacation! Vacation," the twins chanted, flipping around the room.
"Honk! Honk!" Karako cheered along.
—
Marvus was sitting on his bed in the hivetel. He was wearing one of his old merch t-shirts, no point in wearing that clunky tux and scrolling through Chittr. Since the point Chahut made about that clingy lowblood from before he'd been trying to keep his mind off Chixie. Unfortunately, nothing like forbidden fruit makes you want to take a bite. As soon as he arrived and locked himself in his room he’d started watching more videos of the girl. In his scrolling, he came across a post on her actual account.
Chixie:: I'll be performing at BloodBrawl bar tonight. Come out and show support!
Below the text was a picture of the lineup, there in big brown text was her name. She’d be the middle act and the bar was close to the hivetel. It was at that moment that Marvus got an amazing, and kinda stupid, idea. He did have a few toned-down outfits and his favorite black hoodie. It wouldn't hurt to just pop out for a drink real quick.
He just saw a recommendation to come out to a local place that had good music. As an accomplished artist, how could he resist hearing fresh talent? If he just so happened to see the bronzeblood that he's been listening to for the past two days then so be it. It's their fault for choosing this hivetel, not his.
With his plan in mind, he memorized the time she’d be performing and went to gather everything he’d need, searching vigorously through his bags. He found his most raggedy hoodie, an old patched-up pair of sweats, and some platformed boots he wore for a concert messiah knows how long ago. To make things more convincing he decided to give himself a fake caste symbol. But there was only one person in their entire Hivetel with paint…Chahut.
He sighed walking down that hall towards her and Karako’s room.
“Chachki!” He yelled knocking at the door.
He heard several large stomps before the door flew open.
“I thought I told ya to never call me that,” she looked down at him agitated.
“Whatcha want?”
“I need to borrow ya paint sis’.”
She cocked her eyebrow.
“What for?”
“I…Need to repaint some of my shoes.”
He all but mumbled out. It wasn’t a lie, after sweeps of performing a lot of his shoes and outfits were worn out. The bigger clown stared at him for a moment before sighing and going back into her room. She pulled a bag of spray paints out of her suitcase. She tossed them out to him, and he wandered off back to his room. He picked up the burgundy and quickly sprayed a fake caste symbol on his hoodie.
He wanted to make sure no one recognized him, went into the washroom, tied his hair back, and did something he never thought he’d do. He washed his makeup off. It was weird seeing his gray skin after only seeing white on it for so long. For the piece de resistance, fake glasses and a face mask.
He threw his newly painted hoodie on and slunk out of the hivetel room. He took the stairs to avoid any fans or press and snuck out the back of the building. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and hunched forward changing his overall image and hiding as much of his shape as possible. He didn't remember ever being able to leave a building without being watched or swarmed before but it was an exciting feeling.
Before he knew it he was on the streets, heading towards the bar. He did get a few looks on the way, he guessed they’d never seen a burgundy this big. Still, it didn’t stop some of the higher bloods from pushing and shoving him out of their way. To be honest he didn’t even notice most of them, they just bounced off of him. Plus he was too focused on seeing this gig to worry about any of them.
After a few minutes, he finally made it, and there wasn’t too long a line!
When he got in he noticed the place was fairly crowded, he thought back to the lineup, he did remember seeing some popular names. He looked around a bit to see if he could recognize Chixie before giving up and going to get a drink. He had a few songs to get through before he would get to hear hers anyway.
The act currently setting up was a purpleblood band. They were pretty good if he was being honest, but he wasn’t coming for them. He was here for one performance, and one performance only.
After them was a solo indigo.
And after that was another act and another…and another. If he was being honest, a lot of the acts were starting to meld into one another.
Something else he noticed was how many of the acts were blatantly copying him. Not just his lyrics and beat, but his entire persona and style.
Normally he wouldn’t mind this he loved it when people took inspiration from his work. But all of these acts felt the same, there was no flare or pizzazz. Just the same thing over and over expecting to get more applause than the last act, absolutely boring. But, it would all be worth it, soon, cause next up was Chixie!
Only the little bronzie didn’t come out, instead, it was another group of purples who, apparently came late. Marvus sat there confused, as to why Chixie wasn’t on stage.
Maybe they just rearranged her spot, so they could perform?
He didn't care for the abrupt change but it's fine he could sit through one more performance.
After them was another group, indigobloods. Then there was a teal solo act. Then two jade acts back to back.
It seemed like everyone but Chixie was performing tonight, as the show went on more and more trolls started to leave. Soon there was nothing but a handful of lowbloods and one indigo, standing in the front, left. Marvus was considering leaving himself, but he noticed a fairly short troll nervously walking on stage.
The last act came up, and there she was, Chixie. Despite his annoyance, Marvus felt a smile grow across his face when he saw her. He noticed her outfit, it was a long black button-down dress, a pair of white leggings, and a pair of black flats with baggy leg warmers. It wasn’t at all flashy, and it didn’t look expensive, but it was still cute!
His focus on her was broken by the sound of very out-of-place cheering; he looked forward to seeing the indigo loudly praising her and clapping. His eyes migrated back to the bronze girl, who was now awkwardly smiling and waving at him as she pulled down the mic off the stand.
A burgundy with a guitar wrapped around him stumbled out and started playing.
She visibly sighed, before she started to sing.
The song she sang was a somber one. She didn’t do much, she wasn’t loud or flashy like the other acts. She didn’t have dance moves unless you counted hand gestures and hip sways.
She was just being herself, calm, but kind of nervous. Many would probably call her “Plain” or “simple” but that’s what made it all stand out. She wasn’t trying to be this big personality, she knew who she was, and that made her all the more unique to Marvus.
Soon the guitarist stopped and Chixie’s voice disappeared with the last few chords.
He was stunned. She was far better in person than the shitty video quality from Chittr. However, he did appreciate whoever was uploading videos of her performances. He sat for a while watching her interact with the few lowbloods left in the bar before visibly cringing as she turned to the indigoblood that was feeling a little too excited to see her.
"Hey Zebruh! I'm so…glad you could make it. I thought you were going to a concert for that purpleblood you liked."
"Marvus. His name is Marvus.”
The indigo corrected.
“And I did wanna go to his show but I heard he went on vacation, so I decided to come support you in the meantime!"
"That's so sweet of you but you didn't have to-"
"What kind of manager would I be if I wasn't here to support my favorite bronzie!”
He interrupted getting in the bronze girl’s face.
"Oh. Well…You really didn't have to."
"Nonsense! They already bullied you once. If you had let me, I would ' ve made sure they never changed your spot, but of course, you're just too kind," Zebruh smirked. Marvus eavesdropped for a bit and could feel the anger she was hiding from his backhanded compliment.
"I'm glad you think so," She smiled weirdly at the indigo, as he tried to put his hand on her but she turned away like she heard someone call her, barely missing his hand.
"They called Trixie not Chixie," he said, dropping his arm to his side.
"Oh! Well, that's fine. Sorry, but I have to go, I gotta- feed my lusus! I'll see you later."
Without a second she turned and walked away.
"I love that about you. You're so responsible. Bye~"
He yelled at her from across the room.
The mousy girl quickly ran out of the bar, brushing past Marvus. His eyes focused on her face quickly taking in her features as she skittered past him. He wasn't expecting to get such a close-up- up but at least he was right and the trip wasn't a waste, she really was cute.
Marvus made his way back to the hivetel. He figured using the stairs would be better but by the fifth floor, he started regretting his choice. He decided to just take off his sweater and take the elevator the rest of the way up. He managed to make it through the hall without being spotted or recognized. Soon enough he made it back to his room and he sighed loudly when he got in.
His tiredness was soon replaced with panic when he noticed Karako sitting on the couch, legs and arms crossed.
"Honk."
"Woah! Hey little man, what you doing here?"
"Honk?" Karako glared at him, waiting for an answer.
"Where I been? What you mean, where I been? I just stepped out for a bit. I ain’t been gone long."
Karako made an annoyed face at the obvious lie.
"Three hours ain't that long. Why were you in my room for three hours?" He tried to change the subject but the little clown steamrolled past it.
"Honk. Honk."
"Thanks for thinkin' of me but you really ain't have to and as you can see I'm fine."
"Honk?" Karako asked again.
"I just got a drink and forgot to check my palmhusk. Sorry little dude."
The little clowned glared him down, giving an exaggerated pout.
"Just down the block! Look, it's not that serious."
"…Honk," Karako glared at him suspiciously.
"No, I didn't go see that girl. What girl are you even talkin' about?"
Karako quickly showed the evidence on his palmhusk.
" I didn't go to see her! I just got a drink at a bar she just so happened to be performin' in."
“Honk!”
“My makeup? It needed to be redone, so I took it off!”
“...Honk,” The small clown pointed at the jacket, and glasses he still had in his hand. It was at this point Marvus knew the little clown wouldn’t give up, he sat next to him and began to explain.
“Okay, I ain’t confirmin’ or denyin’ nothing. But maybe, maybe , I went to see her perform,” His panic was replaced with a small grin as he explained further.
“You should’a seen her! She was so sweet and so talented. I thought seeing her in person would, you know, scratch the itch. Sate my curiosity.”
Karako cocked his head at the older clown.
"Yeah, I probably should've left it alone but I couldn't not go after being told not to watch her."
“Honk!” Karako began to chuckle as he stated the obvious.
“No! I ain’t got red feelings for her! I remember what happened last time!” He picked Karko up into his arms “Besides, you too young to be talkin’ bout that!”
“Honk?”
“Yeah…I did say this was different…”
“Honk!”
“No! I ain’t goin’ back to see her.”
Karako grabbed Marvus’s palmhusk again, going onto Chixie’s Profile.
He pointed at the red quadrant status, which was marked as empty.
"Karako, I can't do that again. Chahut would kill me if I brought another groupie around!"
"Honk!"
"I know she's not a groupie but still it's not gonna end well either way." Marvus slightly raised his voice, causing Karako to tear up a bit.
The little clown began to cry and fuss, Marvus sighed and brought him in for a hug.
“I’m sorry little man, it’s just I can’t be out here catching red feelings for a girl I don’t even know,” He pulled Karako back wiping his tears, smudging his makeup a bit.
“Besides, if I went chasing after her, you and me wouldn’t have time to hang out!” He booped the runt’s nose.
“And ya wouldn’t want that now would ya?”
Karako nodded his head “no”.
“Then let’s not focus on all that quadrant mess, okay?”
“...Honk!” Karako squeezed his arms around Marvus’s waist, pulling him in for one last hug.
"Yeah! Let's get some faygo and grubcorn. We can watch a movie. Let me just get my paint back on."

The side eye Sam gives dean when he's telling him about how the people had a funeral for a missing person.
“a funeral?” “yeah for closure or whatever” “closure? What closure. People don't just disappear Dean, others just stop looking for them.” WOAH NELLY... I get it. Bro wants to find dad, dad to find monster, monster to be KKKKKKKKKILLED‼️

“ohhh collage boy thinks he's so smart!!” Dean the goat of this episode
Sam twitching because he doesn't know if or how he should bring up deans speech. Honestly now that I think about it Sam digs into deans personal stuff alot, mostly because Dean is jaded and hides stuff but IDK it's interesting.

i’ve become a little obsessed with your curtwen stuff do you have any more to share 🙏🙏🙏
Aww thank you, that’s so sweet! I honestly need to rewatch saf, it’s been too long since I’ve seen it! All this talk about them has made me really miss them I just wish they could’ve had a happy ending, but I guess that’s what fics are for
I can’t remember what all I’ve said, so I might repeat myself or contradict a previous headcanon, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles 🤷♀️
But I love the idea of Curt & Owen flirting via mock interrogations & they progressively get less realistic & more playful (& homoerotic) as time goes on & what we see at the beginning of the show definitely isn’t the first time tickling has found its way into this little game of theirs
They do the will they won’t they thing for probably way too long, but they wanted to be 100% positive they were picking up the vibes they thought they were
Ok but their first kiss was completely accidental. They were running away from someone together & they had to hide in a cramped space like a tight alley or a closet & they’re fumbling & shoving at each other & they turn their heads at the same time & next thing you know they’re fuckin’ smooching! They’re both so shy about it & can barely meet each other’s eyes & Owen just mumbles “not a bad kisser Mega” & Curt’s like “neither are you” & then they’re staring at each other blushing & all of a sudden they’re making out
Pretty sure they both found out each other was ticklish while on a job together since that’s when they spend the most time together. I think most people think Owen found out Curt was ticklish first, but just imagine with me, if you will:
Curt arrives to a job that Owen got to first, but shit hit the fan & he got caught & is being interrogated. It’s pretty early on, so he’s not too roughed up yet, & he can see Curt in the rafters & he’s both relieved & annoyed because he knows he’s gonna rub it in his face that he had to save him. Curt ends up sniping the baddies & hops down like his knight in shining armor & he goes to untie him, but Owen’s hands are tied behind the chair & his chest is tied to the back of the chair, the rope under his arms & around his ribs. So while he’s untying him, he’s squirming around & breathing a little weird & Curt’s like “quit moving so much or I’ll leave you here” & Owen snaps back “quit tickling then!” & he freezes up & Curt has the most gleeful, sinister look he’s ever seen
“What was that?” “Nothing” “no no, you said you’re ticklish?” “Really Curt, that’s what you’re taking away from all this? We need to leave!” “Why? I already killed everyone here, it’s just you & me” “Curt…” “why not have some fun?” “Mega I swear to God-“ & then Owen didn’t get another coherent sentence out for about half an hour
After that, Curt was a fucking menace & never let him live it down. He’d sneak up on him & launch a surprise tickle attack, he’ll constantly bring up how he “can’t believe” how ticklish he is, he’ll even mock his laugh & say how even his laugh sounds posh. Really, Owen had the patience of a saint & Curt really took it for granted
He bides his time, giving him a chance to back tf off with all the teasing, but one night when they’re sharing a hotel room (with only 1 bed mind you) Curt keeps tickling him & it’s really not funny because he just wants to sleep damnit! Cut it out, I mean it! & Curt goes to squeeze his hip again & all of a sudden he’s laying flat on his back with an angry, very smug Owen hovering over him & his life flashes before his eyes. He gives a nervous lil grin & tilts his head like “y-you got me, I’ll leave you alone now” & Owen’s like “oh no no no, you’ve been tormenting me for months, you’re not weaseling out of this that easy” & Curt really should learn to shut up because he doesn’t even think twice before saying “well what took you so long to snap?”
& now it’s Owen’s turn to give him an evil smile & cups his ear like “I’m sorry, what did you just say?” & Curt’s really struggling now, but Owen has him pinned pretty good & he’s sputtering out apology after apology saying how he’ll never tease him again lies & he’ll drop the whole thing. But Owen is smirking so much as he leans down & asks “Curt… now be honest… have you been doing all this hoping I’d get my revenge?” & Curt’s heart has never beat so fast in his entire life & he answers so quick he literally cuts him off by yelling “NO!” & then much cooler “no, why would I want that?” & Owen just hums “oh I don’t know, maybe because it would mean my hands would be all over you” & he waits for Curt to try to argue before striking. He miiiight have gone a bit overboard, but he had a lot of revenge to catch up on. & it’s not like he didn’t give Curt an out, he just refused to “break” to something as “stupid” as tickling, so it was really his fault. He swears his throat didn’t hurt after that brutal attack, but when they wake up the next morning his voice is shot & he can barely speak above a whisper. Of course now it’s Owen’s turn to never let him live it down. “I can’t believe you were giving me so much shit when you’re 10 times as bad as I am!”
I didn’t know this was just gonna turn into one one headcanon but I speak the truth, the whole truth, & nothing but the truth no matter how long it is so help me God
#asks#anon ask#i have GOT to make this a fic when i get the time#spies are forever headcanons#saf headcanons#curtwen#curt mega#special agent curt mega#owen carvour#saf#spies are forever#ticklish!curt#ticklish!owen

i did watch fire walk with me last night! i still, however, cannot get myself to watch it before midnight apparently so i went to bed late. whatever
i still wish i'd gone with my original tentative plan of rewatching this before the rest of the show, because i quite honestly probably forgot a lot of what was established in the pilot that directly continues from this (really, this was written later, but still.) especially the stuff with bobby's deal with leo and whatever they had in the football. and also it's good to have everything that just happened fresh in your mind for when they're piecing it together on the show. i would ordinarily never recommend reading/watching something for the first time in the in-universe "chronological" order instead of the actual publication order, but i do think it would be really interesting to watch this before the series if you were watching peaks for the first time. has anyone done that
i always forget the deer meadow parts in the beginning are set a year before the main events of the series...coop's been here before just not in the same area...people have analyzed these parts as being in response to a lot of the general response to the show itself, criticizing or even parodying the reactions of people who just remember the show for cooper's quirky detective methods or treat everything weird or symbolic in it as a puzzle they need to solve by figuring out what everything Means. most notably in the scene with lil, who gives chet and sam information about the case they're investigating in a coded interpretive dance that's a needlessly complex way of conveying any of this and almost certainly not how they normally do things. and chet helpfully explains the meaning of it all for us while sam is totally confused. on the other hand this is the first appearance of the blue rose, which i realize is the one thing that isn't explained in this film, and i'm sure there was plenty of theorizing about that back in the day.
teresa banks' murder is as much of a contrast to laura's as possible - she's described as a drifter, probably a runaway, no one knew who she was. when we first see her she's locked away in a morgue drawer, her body unclaimed, rigor mortis already setting in - unlike laura, she does not look at all serene or peaceful in death, lying half-frozen with her eyes and mouth open. they have to pry up her nail to get the letter underneath. it's not at all pretty. deer meadow isn't an affluent suburb, it's a run-down middle of nowhere small town with a trailer park and a much less cozy 24-hour diner. it's very obvious we're meant to contrast all this with what we know of twin peaks by now. the investigators, too, are different - desmond is very emotionally uninvolved and even willing to use physical violence when he's tired of waiting, and he and stanley are dismissed and disrespected by the local law enforcement instead of having them openly willing to work with them from the beginning.
meanwhile we have one scene with the gang back at the fbi, with coop and albert and gordon. it's ambiguous when that first exchange, when cooper tells gordon he had a dream about this day, happens in relation to everything else, or if jeffries' surreal visit is in fact the dream. maybe cooper is the only one who remembers that happening, even if there is proof on the security cameras he was there. i like cooper and albert's conversation about who the next victim will be, reminding us that laura's situation wasn't necessarily unique. "she's sexually active. she's using drugs. she's crying out for help." "well, damn, cooper, that really narrows it down, you just described half the teenage girls in america."
i have to say i really like seeing laura and donna actually being best friends, since so much of the main series had donna wrestling with her complicated feelings about laura after her death, but this is all from laura's pov and so we see donna as a girl who didn't know how to help her but tried her best to be a good friend, and who was maybe too fascinated by the world laura was secretly involved in to really understand why she was in trouble. i was also thinking about the memory donna shares with harold in the main series about the first time she and laura went out with some older boys - it's not like this is something new for her, even if she's sometimes positioned as the innocent good girl who didn't know anything about what laura was really up to. i've also heard a number of those fans who seem to hate donna in the main series (my least favorite kind of twin peaks fans) claim to like her better here, and i don't know if that's just because they don't have a weird grudge against moira kelly the way they do about lara flynn boyle (don't even get me started), or if it's because donna is more straightforwardly "nice" for most of her screen time here. if you can't handle flawed female characters then you don't deserve laura palmer, imo, because this movie is all about showing her as a real flawed but very much sympathetic person.
sheryl lee really puts in a memorable performance here as a character who's going through just. so much. when she sees leland coming out of the house right after she escaped from BOB and realizes they're one and the same (but she's still not ready to fully accept it yet)? oh god. i thankfully can't relate personally to her situation here - though i know a lot of fans do, for various reasons - but i remember watching this for the first time at age 17, the same age as her, and really feeling struck by how horrible it is for a teenager to not even be safe in her own bedroom.
i also forgot that here we see laura giving her secret diary to harold for safekeeping, and that she says he was the one who told her to write everything down. which fits with his thing about recording people's life stories that we see in the show. i'm really interested in him as a character because we don't know how old he is exactly, but he must be an adult if he's living on his own doing whatever he does, and while he is a sympathetic character i think people forget sometimes that he's also kind of predatory in his own way towards laura and donna. people are complex on this show.
i think this film more firmly establishes that leland's consciousness is not entirely separate from BOB - he acts like he doesn't remember anything when laura tries to ask him about being home on that day when she saw him as BOB for the first time, and he very well may not remember coming home that day, but then we see him with teresa telling her "you look just like my laura", and behaving abusively towards her during the day with no indication he's not himself (and then changing his tune and trying to apologize later, which is, yeah, realistic), and spying on her sneaking out and this seemingly setting off a rage that combines the usual "strict overprotective father" instinct with BOB's sexualized jealous fury. seeing ray wise get to play all these facets is another highlight of the film i think. (he reminds me of the title character from the stepfather, which i should talk about more on the horror blog. who am i here? who do you think that is there?)
we also get to see a bit more of ronette pulaski, which i appreciated because she's kind of barely in the show despite having been present for laura's last moments. they reference one-eyed jack's as something from the past, saying laura was kicked out at some point, which i don't recall being mentioned on the show - notably, ben horne isn't in the movie at all (and neither is audrey, surprisingly.) given what we see of laura and ronette together, i think it's safe to say they're implied to have had a relationship (why were they sharing a motel room that one time? could be they were both hired to...entertain a client, but all we see is them sitting on the bed smiling and laughing together.) i wonder what donna thought seeing them dancing half-naked close together in the club. if you were watching this before the show with no knowledge, you'd probably assume ronette is also dead by the end, so seeing her walking down the railroad tracks in a daze with rope dangling from her wrists takes on a different meaning
why did dream coop tell laura not to take the ring? at first i thought the ring might have protected her if she did - teresa was notably not wearing it when she died, apparently - but since it clearly didn't save her from being killed, i wondered if it was supposed to have "saved" her soul instead, since she appears at the very end in the red room seemingly at peace with cooper and the angel watching over her. ...but that might also mean the ring trapped her soul in the black lodge so she can't move on, hence why we see her there in the show wearing the same black dress. i feel like that makes more sense and is preferable to the "at least your Soul is at peace" interpretation. (that might just be coop's doppelgänger, not "really" him, too.) i also have to remind everyone of what someone i follow once said, that when the lead is smiling and laughing at the end of a horror film she is not okay.
if you watched this before the series, this would also be the first time you saw annie blackburn, and i can only imagine what it would be like waiting almost the whole show to see her show up. and the foreboding sense you'd feel once she does. (i'm really wishing i watched this before the show this year...maybe next time.)
i did have an interesting first experience with this movie in that i watched it after already having seen both the original series and the return, which has some scenes repeated from this movie towards the end and also some recurring characters (namely carl rodd.) i look forward to what further insights i may gain from the missing pieces
#twin peaks#fire walk with me#fuck this got long#but i find it much easier to talk about movies like this than episodes of tv shows#i may or may not be able to coherently organize my thoughts on s3 when i start rewatching that#the black dog runs at night

mdarc chapter 1 rewatch part 3, and yes, i am aware of the massive pile of asks i have on all my blogs however as always i shall keep running. no don't stop sending them i absolutely appreciate the attention its just i need to mentally prepare two weeks in advance and cry in order to give a sufficient response. you should give it a try and converse with yours truly again some more if the thought of torturing and killing me slowly sounds fun and exciting to you👍
oh look its the child extortion scene
you would think halara, who's got all that trauma from having their family get scammed and destroyed by a friend* they trusted as a child, would be just a tiny bit less comfortable with swindling kids out of their money rn but like you know that's just my thoughts......
they're Reclaiming it <3
*listen. like i know i can't be the only one that thinks that way, but so far so many people ive seen that played this game just went through this gab and thought "oh wow a middle schooler just scammed them that is so crazy lmao", and like. i was under the impression that halara was the one in middle school the entire time, and their "best friend" was just some adult con artist that gained Halara's trust (or just flat out groomed them, honestly) so they could scam their parents. like, you do know this interpretation makes infinitely more sense than... very nefarious 12 year old manipulator investment scamming adults or whatever
has nobody already made a halara "fuck them kids" joke or do i gotta pull out that art program again
this child is like fucking what, five?? literally crying what is your PROBLEM halara...... halara i don't even think he understands half of whatever you're saying to him right now.....................
they didn't even give it back to kei they just tossed it over to yuma???????? lmao?????????
still. they're so fucking cool. i'm giving them the highest honor i can bestow (narcissistic personality disorder and massive autism)
AH WAIT I FORGOT WE ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE SHIT IN THIS GAME OOOOoooooh. ooooooooooh.
i forgot to read the report by the way
*points at jiei colan* SYMMETRY TOOL LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
oh holy shit wait canon age??? jiei is 48??? ok now that is information i am going to blast into my mind permanently and not like. anything slightly more important
casual fatphobia jumpscare
pink blood scene *nods solemnly*
holy shit i know exactly who the culprit is you wont believe it. im so fucking smart. im a genius im a fucking god fondle my nuts while you blow me
i can already feel seth approaching rapidly because my eyes are getting teary and my chest is doing really funny stuff right now. the sense went off
once he arrives i will keep a list of "memorable and beautiful things seth has done in all his 4 scenes" as well as "memorable and beautiful things desuhiko has done in the entire game or perhaps his life" and then compare once we finish. wish me luck
chapter 1 >>>>>>>>>> every other fucking chapter. i am going to kill a man on this hill
THERE HE COMES .
I'm twitching like hell right now. my muscles yearn for the burroughs
UUAAAAAIIIIIGIHUGFFYDFUUUUUGHGHHHHGAAAAAAAAAAGHUSYDGHSDUUUUUHHHHHHHHGGHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! H H
HE HIS STUPID FUCKIDGFG WALK
take that rain cape off you fucking coward this is kanai ward. noticed his lil fox symbol on his back and got reminded of wackpedion's religious seth post but im not gonna look for it now. but yeah he's 100% metal fox church guy i told you this chapter got layerssss to it. this is cinema. video games lore have peaked at rain code chapter 1. scott cawthon has been really silent ever since rain code chapter 1 dropped
his face. its heeehhhhere. i am going tocommit vehicular manslaughter. and ask him why is his skin fucking gray
holy motherfucker I TOTALLY forgot how his japanese voice sounds. he sounds. slightly more normal actually. less pathetic if that was possible. its like he still has hope. help me he sounds so young
i like how. he just calmly extremely quietly tells them to stand up while standing like 20 feet away from them and knowing his voice usually doesn't reach above 30db. like he just stands there mumbling to them to plss get up now knowing they probably can't hear him. he jsut. gives it a try. maybe this time
maybe he's trying to awaken his telepathic abilities.
omg god a charlie radiohead wackpedion oc cameo???? i can't believe that wiki let spike chunsoft put charlie in their game in order to help increase sales it is so cool how they support smaller creators like that once again
that cunty stance. who stands like that.
its not fucking on. how did you notice its not fucking on. or did he just did but tried regardless. dead silence.
truly, a flattering introduction
and he. wasn't even that fucking mad he just gave him a very dissapointed look to go and fix that. which makes me think it has happened before. and numerous times
finally, seth has succeeded. you know whats crazy about that scene?? the peacekeepers were knocked out a solid while ago thats gonna be at least 15, if not just 20 entire minutes. realistically if youre uncounscious for that much time (and im pretty sure halara whacked them on the head) then you're gonna be concussed as fuck perhaps even have serious brain injuries (and im pretty sure halara whacked them on the head HARD) like youre not gonna be ok after this. his voice literally healed them. he commanded them to rise and so they did. combined with the blatant christian themes of rain code (makoto is satan. martina's motorcycle is the ark) the answer is obvious seth is jesus where was i going with this again
seth is so fucking chill its unbelievable. its the fourth time something has happened to him this moment, megaphone guy fucked up the fucking volume and he just. takes a few steps back motions with his arms and doesn't even say anything. if that were yomi he'd just bring out the whip. if that were martina she'd verbally abuse them so fucking hard they would not be able to look her in the eye ever again in their lives. if that were guillaume she'd start screeching at dominic to decapitate that man
i am going to look away whenever they mention Bodies Rotting Quickly In Kanai Ward from now on. i shall not. it is not worth it.
megaphone guy cringe moment
i would say something about the entire "public execution" moment but i think i already said enough before. so.
goodbye seth you absolutely fucking SLAYED it
#mine#rain code#grooming mention#<- its like. in one point and not really that elaborated(?) on just mentioned in the brackets.#mdarc rewatch tag

this is rly random lol but I keep thinking about this. Recently my life has changed a lot, nothing bad lol just moving out, finally starting uni ect and I found myself reflecting a lot on my past (so deep I'm literally only 22 😭) but recently I've been rewatching movies from my childhood and TV shows I was OBSESSED with as a teen and I got thinking about pieces of media that have stayed with me my entire life til this point and probably will stay with me for the rest of it. And I've realised that VV is most definitely one of them. I can believe a lil abo f1 fic could have such an impact but it's so important to me in a way I don't have words to express. From fics to the discord I genuinely hold such a special place in my heart for the story and the characters and the random lore snippets. I can already see myself thinking about it and returned to it years down the line (if ao3 is still standing and let's pray she is) so ig I just wanna say thank you for writing the most beautiful fic and honestly piece of literature in general I have ever read in my life 🫶
every once in a while, I get asks like this and every single time, they make me want to roll around on the floor like a dog in joy lmao
nonnie i love you <3 thank you so much for telling me this. It's an absolute HONOR. I'm so happy the vv gives you comfort in times of transition and change.
the vv is one of the fics that shaped me as an author and that has so many good memories and personal things attached to it. Even though I've stopped writing for it (for now? i think), I still think of the story and the characters on the daily.
wishing you happy holidays and a peaceful new year <3 and thank you for sending this ask, it made my day brighter

Hi Cat! May I ask you to rank S5 episodes aired so far? and what did you like the most about each of them?
Finally getting around to answering this now that s5 is officially over. Overall, I'd say s5 was definitely not as bad as people have made it out to be, and I'll share my full thoughts on it later and go over some of the notes I took upon rewatching, but I'd say this season on average was pretty mid? Adrinette hard carried a lot of episodes that otherwise were just okay. Again, I've said it a bunch, and I'll say it a bunch more times, ML's biggest problem is pacing. S5 is probably the most ambitious season of this show by far, and they crammed a shit ton into this one season that would have been more digestible if it were spread out I think.
But anywho, I'll discuss more later. For now, here is my episode rankings for season 5! The ratings are rough, and I will likely adjust them to be a bit more specific when I eventually do my complete episode ranking with all the other seasons, but for now these ratings correspond to how I relate just the s5 episodes to each other. None of them got a 10, and tbh most of these eps sit around 6-7/10, so ranking them was actually kind of hard because as I said, Adrinette hard carried some of these eps, and I just did not care for the other things going on in them. Okay, here we go:
Protection: 9.5/10
Anyone who knows me or is in any way familiar with me probably knows why this episode is here. The picnic will go down as one of Adrinette's iconic moments. The whole set-up was incredibly sweet, and I could stare at that scene for hours.
2. Emotion: 9/10
Outside of thinking that Felix should have come back sooner and that perhaps this should have been the mid-season conflict rather than the Kwami's Choice eps (I'll talk more about why in another post eventually), I really liked this episode. I love how much Marinette has grown. I enjoyed Felix being a lil gremlin man. Idk, I liked it.
3. Elation: 8.5/10
"Cat, but you always shit talk MC-"
Incorrect. I shit talk toxic stans. I'd be lying if I said seeing those two losers kiss didn't make me feel things. I also appreciated the realness of this ep on why they couldn't be together, and that Chat Noir/Adrien had enough respect for Marinette to realize that there was a power imbalance between them. It was very sexy of him.
4. Revolution: 8.5/10
This one honestly surprised me being this high, but so much shit happened in this episode. Like I needed to sit for a sec after watching it because it was a lot to process. While I was rewatching it, I had moments where I was like wait, is this a new episode? But then I'd remember, nope. It's still the same one where all this other shit happened. And weirdly, it didn't feel too rushed? A lot of episodes this season felt like they were moving a million miles a minute and rushing to get to the point, but I felt like for as much shit as went down in this episode, it flowed pretty well.
Also, I'm Adrinette trash so of course I'm gonna rank their first kiss high fucking sue me
Also, hardly anyone talked about the LadyNoir power up! Like hello???
5. Deflagration: 8/10
I know I just dunked on the Kwami's Choice arc, and I will probably do it again because these two episodes were HARD carried by Adrinette. I didn't care about Kitty Noire or Scarabella at all. Their fight was lame, why the fuck did they start talking like that, just, ugh-anyway. I felt like part 2 was the stronger of the two episodes, and not just because of the Ladrien crumb! (though the ladrien crumb was v nice) I enjoyed the Resistance swooping in to help. I enjoyed Marinette outsmarting Gabriel. I enjoyed Adrien ripping the earrings off his dad like how dare you touch her things, you crusty eggplant. I liked the Adrinette scene in the cafeteria. I dunno. I don't think giving up their Miraculous was really necessary, but I appreciated several of the moments in this episode.
6. Passion: 8/10
So, in prior seasons I came to really not care for Nathalie when she was simping for Gabriel, but I gained a lot more respect for her this season. I just kind of wish she'd been like that from the beginning. There to make sure Gabriel doesn't go too far, someone to love Adrien and carry out his and Emilie's wishes. I wouldn't have minded even if GabeNath happened as a result if they were able to talk Gabriel down from his madness and truly let Emilie go in the end. But alas, we didn't. I loved the Adrinette moment in this episode where Adrien just immediately tells her what's wrong. It was such a huge step for him as someone who usually just buries his feelings. And the kwami swap was much better this go round.
7. Jubilation: 7.5/10
My cat is sleeping on my notes, but I remember enjoying this episode. A thought that I had in regards to the fantasy that they saw is that the gift sees beyond the masks, even if they don't. Like, yes, of course they want a life together because they're soulmates. They just can't quite see the whole picture yet. Idk how to explain it, but anyway, it was a cute episode. The nightmare children need to be burned at the stake, but overall, it was nice.
8. Transmission: 7.5/10
Listen. I did not give a single fuck about the new heroes, and their battle was very anticlimactic and lame, but god dammit, the Adrinette in this episode! Adrien audibly recognizing he shouldn't have played with her feelings as Chat Noir. Him seeing his photos in her trash can and telling her he loves her! The motherfucking hand game! Nothing else happened in that ep. It was just them.
9. Determination: 7.5/10
I absolutely loved seeing Adrinette go all pink sparkles when he looked at Marinette, and how Kagami was like stop being a fucking wuss and ask her on a date. As much as I cannot with the statue scene, I loved that Adrien was just like lol yeahhh you kissed me, it was kind of awesome. Like baby boy XD I liked him being lowkey jealous and wanting to be more with Marinette and trying his damnedest to get closer to her when she was freaking out. His patience with her this season has been so sweet.
LN stans can roast me all they want, idc, but I have a lot of thoughts about her switching her affection to CN. Not to say that she doesn't genuinely have feelings for him because I think she definitely does deep down, but I have always seen her pursuit of him this season as a means to run away from her problems. (i.e. her feelings for Adrien) Because she never got over Adrien, and that much was obvious. And Alya even called her on her bullshit. Marinette was trying to force herself to stop loving Adrien by throwing herself at Chat Noir, and while her feelings for him might stem from a genuine place of love for him, she was trying to love him for the wrong reasons. Rather than it being a natural thing, it felt very much like she was only doing it because she thought it would be easier, and she was refusing to face and process what had happened as a result of her loving Adrien. I just wish that the reversal were handled differently. She can and absolutely does love Chat Noir, but in this context, it just felt a little cheap to me. Not as genuine because she was still clearly hung up on Adrien and avoiding that.
10. Multiplication: 7/10
We have reached 6-7/10 territory. A loooot of eps are in this range, so it was actually pretty difficult to rank. I went solely on vibes for this section. Any single scene that sticks out in my memory for each episode were the breaking points on these.
Idk why, but I liked this episode. I loved the scenes of Adrien trying to greet Marinette. I loved everyone getting progressively more bored with waiting for Monarch to show up again. It was cute.
11. Derision: 7/10
Do I think this backstory should have come way, way, way, WAY sooner? Yes. Like s1-s2 sooner. Did I still slurp up all of the Adrinette anyway? ...Well, I'm only human.
12. Evolution: 7/10
I actually skipped this episode in my rewatch to save time because I know it's solid. Bunny Cat was cute. Seeing Gabriel fucking wreck himself because he's an idiot was funny. Alix being the GOAT was fun. Yeah. It was a nice start to the season.
13. Pretension: 7/10
I'm not a Feligami hater like some people. I think it was a bit rushed, but I think that's more of an issue with ML's general struggle with pacing rather than a reflection on the viability of their relationship. I liked seeing how Felix has a softer side because he was always meant to be morally grey. Emotion talked about that a little bit. He had no dog in the fight between Gabriel and LB/CN. He has his own motives for doing what he does, and he's not a bad person, just has done some questionable things to get what he wants. And I think Kagami would be good for him. I loved her roasting him and kicking his ass (and he loved it too).
14. Confrontation: 6.5/10
As the pilot of the Lila downfall plane, you'd think this episode would rank higher, but like, listen. Was Marinette's plan very sneaky and big brained? Yes. Did I enjoy seeing them get caught? Yes. Did this shit need to happen way sooner? Yes! The fact that Alya said with her whole chest in the episode before, "You know we're always ready to believe you." When she fucking wasn't? Like, bitch, your bestie is LADYBUG. Perhaps if she doesn't like someone, recognize that it's for a good ass reason? And I hated how dismissive they were of Adrien when he tried to speak up in that scene too. My honest reaction to Lila being outed was just fucking finally. I rank this one lower as well because they cut a small moment that I wish they fucking hadn't where everyone apologizes to and hugs Marinette after they're exposed. Because they fucking gaslit her for months about this bitch, and she absolutely deserved that apology!
15. Collusion: 6/10
Ya know, I'm not much one to care about Andre. They really tried to paint him as a victim this season, and I just was not there for it. It's okay for him to just suck too. They're all rich, sucky people. It's okay to just say that.
A note I did make that I might talk about later is on the topic of Chloe and her alleged redemption that everyone is mad about and how Astruc just hates Chloe, and I'm not going to say he doesn't. I just think that overall what happened there is when they started planning out future seasons, it was more plot convenient for her to be mean than it was for them to put in the effort to redeem her fully. And looking at some of the other redemptions they've done in this show, we know they would have botched it anyway. They kept her mean because it served their purposes for making things happen. That's it.
16. Revelation: 6/10
For reasons mentioned above in Confrontation, I ranked this episode lower because I wanted to fucking strangle everyone. Everyone in that god damn class knows Chloe is a bitch and always will be. The fact that they all turned on Marinette, including fucking Alya who knows she's FUCKING LADYBUG just ugh. Honestly, when their future plans got fucked in the next episode, I was lowkey like GOOD. Suffer, dumbass bitches! It's what you get! But I'm also just really petty, and I wanted to see Lila finally get shut the fuck up.
17. Adoration: 6/10
This one was fine? Let's go lesbians, I guess. Idk, in comparison to the myriad of other shit going on in s5, this one just felt like filler. Gabriel is an asshole, what else is new? I kind of wish Marinette got a better confession, since, ya know, we've been waiting for it since s1. I wish it were a bigger moment and more heartfelt, but like, eh, I guess.
18. Intuition: 6/10
Seeing Gabriel fuck himself over was nice. Other than that, it was just okay. Get dunked on, you moldy cheeto dust of a human being.
19. Perfection: 6/10
"Cat, did you rank this episode this low because of Adrien's cringy-ass song?"
AND I'D DO IT AGAIN! And the fight was kinda boring. I love Kagami, and she deserved the love in the end, but like c'mon.
20. Illusion: 6/10
A big thing I noted from this episode that became kind of a recurring thing throughout s5 is the illusion of choice. I'll talk more about it in my s5 analysis, but I think that illusion of choice extends to Gabriel's wish too in the end. I did love Nathalie fucking bodying him the second Adrien walked away. It's what he deserves.
21. Destruction: 6/10
This one was fine, I guess. I wasn't super into the format of it being a flashback that Marinette was explaining to Alya at their sleepover after the fact? And that it kind of just glossed over them Cataclysming Monarch, since that was kind of an important thing for this season. ML made some weird choices for big moments throughout this season that kind of cheapened the impact, imo. Idk. Baby girl is smart and all that, we been knew.
22. Representation: 5.5/10
Adrien fighting his dad was the highlight of this episode. You go off, king. The play was incredibly info-dumpy, and I feel like this information should have been spread out more organically. Rather than hinting at all of this shit in s3-4, they should have just sprinkled in these details as actual confirmation back then rather than dumping it all in our laps now.
23. Reunion: 5/10
Listen, this episode wasn't bad, and Adrien being a horse girl is funny, but in the context of this season and compared to the other episodes, this one is honestly just filler. Like, it's cool lore, but feels a bit out of place in this season, especially because she didn't call on her past holders for advice on how to like, idk fight her villain, she called on her for love advice. Just felt very unserious in the context of this season.
24. Conformation: 5/10
This one was fine-ish? The whole finale is definitely the weakest finale we've had. And I've ranked Miracle Queen in my bottom 10, yall. This is saying something. I'll go ahead and continue in my next point because
25. Re-Creation: 4.5/10
Both of the finale eps were just... They happened? I feel like they were pulling at too many threads bringing in everyone the way they did. I feel like the perfect alliance thing was an okay choice? I kind of dislike that Adrien was just no where to be fucking seen for most of these episodes. I know a lot of people are upset that he doesn't know about his dad, and there was no reveal between him and Marinette. Which, no identity reveal, I can live with, but I feel like letting Gabriel make his wish was such a weird choice. I'll talk more about it later, but we've been following this show since s1 and rooting for Ladybug and Chat Noir, and they just let the villain get what he wanted? And you can argue that he didn't really get what he wanted because he died or whatever, but like he got the Miraculouses and made a wish. Stop being obtuse about it. Like what is the ultimate lesson here? What's the message? I'm willing to give s6 a chance, but my future with this show is going to depend on how they unpack some of the fallout of this finale.
And for those arguing over Emilie v Amelie in the ending scene, it was Emilie in the original script and storyboard, and her memorial statue is gone, meaning they no longer have to memorialize her because she's not dead, so unless they randomly decided to not bring her back last minute, that bitch is his mom. Also, they removed a scene where she and Adrien smile at each other, but I digress
26. Migration: 4/10
I'm not going to explain this one, but anyone that knows me, knows why this one is here, and why I didn't care about this episode.
Anywho, my biggest takeaways from this season were that it was a bit too ambitious at times, and I think in general it lacked a lot of the heart of ML. Big moments we've been waiting for fell flat because they got lost in the mess of them trying to cram storylines we should have been getting this whole time into one season. It's not a bad season, and I think it is definitely a step in the right direction. ML just needs to get better about pacing its story arcs so that it maximizes its time and doesn't have to rush through shit to get their point across.

my supernatural rewatch reviews: season 2
jk i did season 2 tonight also. personally i'd consider this one of my favorite seasons, but it's only #3 out of the kripke based on ratings. again this falls victim to having some amazing episodes sandwiched by duds. my least favorite episode was probably Everybody Loves a Clown with a score of 5 for pretty obvious reasons, although I do like establishing Sam's fear of clowns. that's good. my most favorite episode was In My Time of Dying, this has gotta be like a top 5 for the whole show for me. average rating was 7.23!
here's the detailed reviews:
01 In My Time of Dying Dude I full on Swayzed that mother. —10
02 Everybody Loves a Clown Points given: Dealing with Dad’s death. DEAN FIXING BABY (plus one million.) DEAN BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF BABY (minus 1 point, plus 2 for being hot). Jo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ash!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t remember him but I love him. My little mullet man math genius. Points taken: The clown plot was so bad. I do not give a shit. Or a piss. Not even a fart. —5
03 Bloodlust HUGE DEANEPISODE!!!!!!! Hating on Dad episode! Dean actually does not want to be a hunter for the rest of his life! Dean critiques dad and Sam defends him so that’s a fun lil turnaround. Gordon! FUN monster of the week. FRESH IDEAS. Character focus integrated into the plot very well so all very interesting. —10
04 Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things Pros: What’s dead should stay dead. Single man tear. Cons: Plot. I was bored. —6
05 Simon Said A woman kills herself by lighting herself on fire after covering herself with gasoline and Dean doesn’t make a Zoolander joke. This is a criminal offense. We know Dean watched Zoolander (Blue Steel). He would totally reference that. I LOVE the little mind control guy. Evil twin is cheesy but fun to watch. —7
06 No Exit I feel like I should’ve enjoyed this more but I was doing abstract algebra notes while I was watching so that didn’t help. Joepisode. I love her so much. I think they could’ve done so much more with Jo and Dean’s relationship. This was literally Jo and Dean fake dating and they did NOTHING about it. None!!!!!!!!! Tragedy. Idk plot was boring and it felt very much like it was on a little mini set, no interaction with the outside world. Boohoo. So much potential wasted. —5
07 The Usual Suspects Sam and Dean suffer the legal consequences of their actions :0 Fun movie references that I didn’t get but were enjoyable nonetheless. —7
08 Crossroad Blues John is in hell confirmed :) —8
09 Croatoan Honestly they missed a lot with the plot. It felt very much like a scapegoat plot so they could just make Sam and Dean talk about their problems. It could’ve been way more interesting and interactive with the real world, but instead felt isolated and superficial. Boohoo. That said, many amazing moments still give it a lot of points. I’m gonna say this one time, you make a move on him and you’ll be dead before you hit the ground, do you understand me, do I make myself CLEAR?! You got a neighbor named Mr. Rogers? Not anymore. —9
10 Hunted Boring! Boring! Sam episode. Where’s Dean —5
11 Playthings Plot was integrated AMAZING into this episode, it felt very rooted in the plot and real consequences in the real world, but still managed to address a lot of Sam and Dean issues! Haunted house! Scooby Doo reference. Drunk Sam king of appropriate and logical transitions. Dean says MILF on screen. —7
12 Nightshifter Boys suffer legal consequences for their actions again. I was very stressed, thought the shifter was gonna be Sam or Dean the whole episode. Fun but no standouts in my head, but I was doing homework while watching so there’s that. —7
13 Houses of the Holy Dean listening to “led zeplin- kashmir” while we listen to Nazareth “Hair of the Dog” implications. Dean keeps talking about how he doesn’t believe in angels bbgorl just you wait. Just You Wait. Unfortunately I was overall a bit bored by the actual episode but I was also very distracted by the Zeppelin thing it is still bothering me. —6
14 Born Under a Bad Sign Dude you had a girl inside you for like a whole week. That’s kinda naughty. —7
15 Tall Tales VERY fun storytelling to Bobby with differing POV. Plus Dean getting beat up by beautiful women in heels and lingerie. —9
16 Roadkill Very easy to predict the twist but it was fun. Beautiful woman who is the actress for our main ghost girl looks so familiar I’m gonna lose my mind. —6
17 Heart I see the Sam appeal. I See It. feelings Felt. Wow. Sam looking back :( Dean’s flinch :(( —7
18 Hollywood Babylon Gilmore girls joke!!! Filming in Canada meta reference. Dean is a pop culture nerd and a slut. Enjoyable but not good necessarily. —5
19 Folsom Prison Blues “What are you, from Texas?” Ghost is boring. Ooohoohooo evil nurse. But Dean looks DELECTABLE. Chomp. —6
20 What Is and What Should Never Be The implications. —9
21 All Hell Breaks Loose (Part 1) Cried at the end. —8
22 All Hell Breaks Loose (Part 2) :(((((((((( —10

OH BOY TAG GAME rubs my hands together eviliy
let it be known. i haven't rewatched this show in a while and it is indeed. 3 am. so i'm going purely off of my autism and pure vibes so. prepare for bullshit (though i might revisit these questions when i do rewatch... eventually)
TY FOR THE TAG BTW!!! giving my brain something to gnaw on yum
fav ep: of course i love all the iconic eps of rnm like ricklantis mix up n shit like that but i revisit and think abt rickternal friendshine of the spotless mort the most. (of course the person that has birdrick as 80% of their blog has this as their fav ep. who could've predicted that. HELP MEEEE) IDK!!! it's a little bit of everything.. ranging from major lore drops to action bullshit... fun visuals... blah blah... and its honestly one of the eps that got me back into the show after dropping it for a few years so i have many fond memories with it
fav season: memory aspect plays a lot into this pick but probabblyyy s6? not the strongest season (tho obv theres solaricks analyze piss, etc etc) but i started this blog around the same time of its release and idk.. it was pretty fun to live blog about that shit while it was still airing...
fav char: unsurprised that the majority is saying rick (shout out to the rickfuckers out here hELP) but uuhhhmmmmmmmm uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bp??? again. very shocking. HELP but yk whats not to love in that monotoned autistic bird dad. though tbh prime has been running around in my brain like a hamster on a wheel as of late. so consider that too
hardest hitting emotional moment: unmoricken. not like. hardest hitting in terms of devestation or anything but like. the PURE SHOCK. dude i remember after watching that being like. "oh my god." HELPPPP.
least fav ep: do i even need to say. when theres a fucking episode about monster sperm and is solved with a incest baby. the incest shit in general. agh.
least fav season: unrelated but i completely forgot about claw and fucking hoarder until i read the reblogs of this post oh my god. HELPPP add that to question 5 but uhhhh i think i have to agree with the concensus and say like s4 and s5 but leaning on s4-- obv both have its gems but. Jesus fucking Christ HELP
least fav char: other than. the obvious immoral characters. (jelly bean, planetina, etc etc). uhhh controversial choice here but. jerry. hELPPPP. i understand why people love him and my initial hatred for him has diminished to just a "meh" but i can't handle his patheticness sometimes like i have to skip some of his scenes for the sake of my own second hand embarassment ADFJKGFD
if you read through all of this i'm giving you a gold star
also the people i wanted to tag were already tagged so i'm breaking the rules here (don't execute me) but!! anyone who wants to participate please go ahead!!
now heres a lil treat if you've gone this far... my favorite gif ever....
Rick and Morty tag game!
Don't know how I'm gonna start this off BUT basically after you do this, you have to tag 3 people and your tag has to say their favorite episode, favorite season, favorite character, hardest hitting emotional moment, least favorite episode, least favorite season, and least favorite character. I'll go first
Favorite episode: If you saw my ranking, you already know that it's Fear No Mort. Just a really emotional, funny, and it has some really cute moments.
Favorite season: I like season 3, it has a lot of good episodes imo.
Favorite character: It's Rick. He's the worst but I love his development, his complexity, he's funny, interesting, and fun to watch. I really love him!
Hardest hitting emotional moment: Uhh probably a tossup between the jellybean scene in Meeseeks and Destroy, the endin scene in Fear No Mort, and the ending scene in Unmortricken. The ending scene in Auto Erotic Assimulation is up there as well.
Least favorite episode: Again, if you saw my ranking I said the dragon episode, it just really sucks, there's not really any good things about it besides maybe the cold open.
Least favorite season: Season 4, there was a lot of particularly bad ones in this season and there was no amazing finale to make up for it like there was in season 5. There were some good episodes, but not enough to make up for this dumpster fire of a season.
Least favorite character: Mr. Jellybean. I mean do I HAVE to explain why? It's pretty obvious.
No pressure tags!: @hazelnut-u-out @mortricken @mortypone @conanssummerchild @dirty-bear-rick-sanchez there were some other people I wanted to tag but Tumblr won't let me tag usernames with Gs for some reason-
