#I have high hopes for s2

[futuristicmiraclenightmare]

I'm crying,they knew exactly what they were doing with these two

[mariatesstruther]

I don’t think it’s explicitly said in the show/game but it’s kind of universally agreed among fans that Joel never talks about Sarah, never mentions her name so when Ellie mentions her by name when they’re arguing the shock and trauma that must’ve caused him is hard to think about (but one thing I really wish the show had done even though it caused pain would be for Tommy to try give the picture to him, him reject it and then Ellie steal it. Plus the two reminders of Sarah in quick succession would’ve been great on screen)

yup yup yup anon good catch i cant believe i forgot this one

i was actually okay witht hem saving the sarah’s picture thing, because i feel like it will definitely come up in s2 and provide us with some good joel/tommy/ellie scenes and maybe even some flashbacks with nico parker

On s2 ep 1 rn AND EARTHSPARK PLEASEEE DON’T FUCK UP STARSCREAMS CHARACTER ARC I CANT GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN

[asofterepilogue]

I will say though. olrox being like "lol mizrak I wouldn't turn you because I'm not in love with you at all" is a little bit funny when he immediately reveals himself the moment mizrak is in a sticky spot, despite saying he can't be seen doing anything for the moment. it's rushed af and ok maybe he's not in love the same way. but it's definitely not nothing either.

BYLER WEEK 2022  //  day three ; favorite byler season !

the best thing i've ever done

[weepywhalewatcher]

My mum is buying me a second hand Good Omens book since Amazon didn't have the old cover, just the one with David Tennant and Michael Sheen (don't get me wrong, I love them, I just don't like those kinds of covers). Anyway I'm excited for season 3 even if it's gonna be ages.

Candworth s3: scud has a strong love/hate relationship with Candide and every episode sees them trying to kill eachother with a very obvious tension between the two, who comes out on top alternates each ep. She falls for him in the finale and they end up one big clone family

((this will never happen and they will probably never interact again))

[rystiel]

people complaining about the clone high reboot are so funny to me like “they’re ruining the show and tarnishing its name” brother this is the most unserious show out there. abraham lincoln and gandhi have made out on screen. why are you worried about its legacy rn

[nightcolorz]

Very excited for tomorrow

Yet I am vigilant. We will see a….

[violetthekiller]

can’t believe i watched the first season of Euphoria when i was 16 and the third will probably be coming out when i’m finishing university 😭

[ae-neon]

Me: pointing out all the problems in writing in hot.D, starting as early as ep1

My brother: no way, you're just a hater

Our favourite GoT YouTubers: this is HBO's redemption! Even better written than early GoT!!! Omgeeee! So good

Years later

New fave YouTubers: this wasn't well done and the problems are inherent in the writing

My brother now: you were right. (Goes on to repeat things I told him back then as if he's just figured it out.)

They rushed the build up to prop up mascots for each team and get to the war as soon as possible by fudging the politics and worldbuilding in a political fantasy 😑

And I was proved right when I was arguing against ppl on tiktok who said siding with the greens "doesn't make any sense" when YES IT DOES, THATS WHY IT LEADS TO A FUCKING WAR

And I used bastardry being the literal trigger for the war in GoT and this person said "don't bring GoT into it, they're different shows"

BUT THE LORE, THE WORLDBUILDING - AKA THE LAW AND CULTURE ARE THE SAME YOU MORON

-- slight spoilers for trigun manga and 98 --

ooh, i know its like so late to realize this, but I wonder if the reason that stampede Vash's prosthetic has the open forearm (like with radius and ulna) is because the gun in his prosthetic is in that same spot in other iterations. So, we know he doesn't have it yet. I wonder what they'll do for his prosthetic in season 2?

MY THOUGHTS ON THE 4TH AND FINAL SEASON OF TUA: SPOILERS AHEAD

Sharing just cause I need to get it off my chest. I haven't shared opinions on TV shows in a while because most new stuff is just so uninteresting but I've watched this show since s1 first came out, almost. Opinions will be all over the place, don't feel like ordering them per episode.

Season was too short, everyone is well aware of it, but the storyline was so cluttered that it just didn't hit the same

Character motivation and characterization of everyone was all over the place in general. Why are we wasting a whole episode on a coupling no one was going to like? Why is the family split up for the majority of this final season?

I hate pretty much everyone's ending. Luther should have been given Viktor's storyline with Reggie to have his dilemma come full circle. I enjoyed him having a bit more comedic relief as opposed to his annoying attitude in the earlier seasons but there is so much he could have done besides being comedic fodder with Diego. Like, hello, he had a wife that went missing and I guess he never actually looked for her? Or he did and he gave up and got over it just like that? I wouldn't know since she was mentioned twice and only in a wistful tone as if she died. Put him with Reggie to resolve his daddy issues finally. Literally anything else. Diego spent the season in an unappy marriage with a shitty job, essentially chasing his glory days once again and he died with zero closure with his wife and the mother of his children. Allison's husband left her and she fell back into old patterns with her daughter and never really made up with her family and none of her issues are resolved. Klaus spent the season with a pointless villain who took up way too much screentime. Five took his brother's wife and was entirely out of character this season. Why is he nice guying after Lila when there is an apocalypse around the corner? Ben died having done literally nothing this season. None of his self conciousness was resolved, there was no real depth given to him and his storyline with Jennifer came and went. Viktor spent the entirety of the season with Reggie for some reason when really he should have been reconsiling with his family and mending his relationship with them. Lila died on the outs with her husband and in a weird "relationship" with her brother-in-law and also being entirely out-of-character. It's truly a disservice to everyone in the maincast.

I didn't mind the ending in general, I figured they would have to sacrifice themselves to fix everything they fucked up once and for all. I only question how Claire, Grace, Coco, and Carlos are alive even if they were "saved" by the trainstation. Their parents never existed and therefore they shouldn't either.

Wish they would have explored the trainstation more. It's a cool device but where did it come from and why now?

Gene and Jean were such wasted villains. Again, blaming it on the season being too short and too much focus on unnecessary storylines but the concept was there, they just squandered it.

What was the point of Reggie and Abigail? What is Abigail's real motivation? Is she evil or just ambivilent towards it all? I guess I enjoy that she wanted to fix her mistake but why wouldn't they give these two at least a flashback to show where they came from and how they got here?

The vibes this season in genral were off and I can't totally explain why despite the season being rushed and too short.

I honestly tuned out during the whole Five and Lila thing because, yeah, it was gross and it sucked and it ruined three great characters. I'm honestly moreso just questioning Lila as a mother. I get she was unhappy with Diego, I figured this would happen once they got married and became parents, but she genuinely seemed to love her kids. So when she gets lost in a subway for seven years she should be fighting like hell to get back to her kids instead of fucking her brother-in-law, right? Right?!

My favorite part was honestly the relationship that Klaus had with Claire. It just feels to me like everyone else was so far removed from her for some reason despite most of them being close enough to show up to Grace's birthday party?

The stakes were there but they essentially poofed away by the end of episode five.

I liked the ending to be honest, it was pretty serene and again, I think it makes sense for them to die to save the world, since they are the reason the world keeps ending. It was also nice to see the continuation of characters we saw appear throughout the series (minus Ray and the Sparrows).

Also enjoyed getting to see a young Umbrella Academy one last time.

All in all the season was not good, but I enjoyed getting to see the cast and characters again, even if they weren't entirely themselves. Also the ending wasn't horrible, so that's sometimes. I think it could have been made infinitely better if they had taken more time and if they had maybe tried to get up to ten episodes to mellow everything out and properly end everyone's storylines in a more satisfying way.

idk if season 2 will make or break my opinion on him but honestly kiku is my fave sgrs character IDC! either kiku or yotaro bc he's so so good love that good old yakuza turned rakugo performer trope

[fastcardotmp3]

So given your love for women being nasty and wanting to eat each other (erotic) have you ever watched yellowjackets? Watching with my friends and we're loving it and gay about it but they're not as thrilled by the yuck you know?

oh I've been Seen via the Lesbian Monster Fic haven't I fjsalkdfjlasjf

but yes! I've been watching since S1 was still airing!! I kept recommending it to people in my real life who hadn't heard of it yet and not remembering til halfway through the plot description that this is not a universal want, so I would tack on "also it's really funny! (:" as if that didn't make me sound like a maniac

I hope with the casting of Lauren Ambrose as adult Van, we’ll see more depth from her. 

I absolutely adore Van but I also really want to see us dive more into her perspective. Since they did it with Lottie, I have high hopes for this. 

But I’m just dying to know more about her because Van makes it out of the wilderness and participates in the Cannibal Council and that seems a little odd considering what we know about her. All of the girls have shown darkness and fierceness within them and so it makes sense they get pushed into murder and cannibalism. 

Van, as of right now, it seems a little less obvious why. 

Even Natalie who seems like the most moral of the core 4 was shown as having darkness inside of her before the crash. She would’ve murdered her dad if the safety on the gun hadn’t been on! I mean he deserved it for being an abusive asshole but still. 

I just need more Van backstory. She seems so loyal and good and I just need an explanation of what darkness lives in Van. I guess you could make the argument almost dying several times in the woods is what pushed her. Tai said that Van was a skeptic before the crash, so maybe that’s enough? 

I just want more depth for Van and I just hope we don’t just see her as a loyal girlfriend/ex but as a person with problems, weaknesses, flaws and struggling with her inner darkness like the rest of the women.
