#I love it I can't wait to break it in

[shima-draws]

I'm rewatching GF since the whole world seems to be into it right now (thank you Alex and the Book of Bill) and AGHHH I FORGOR about the body swap episode when the twins find the secret room and Stan picks up Ford's glasses and later we see him sitting on the couch looking at them wistfully...

Shut up shut UP that's NOT okay

[dent-de-leon]

can you imagine being Essek and watching this tiefling on a total power trip turn into a 10 feet tall--incredibly ripped??--god and kill the boy you're catching feelings for?? And brand you with some kind of evil cursed hivemind magic you're worried might corrupt you forever?? This thing that your friends swear was once family, but all you see is something monstrous and otherworldly and tearing himself apart at the seams, screaming when all their loved ones call out to him??

Just. the way it must have felt to see Lucien go from that to. Just the most sweet and affectionate little tiefling. Gentle and curious and so full of joy and wonder. He's got the brightest smile and warm eyes and this mischievous playfulness. He runs off at first--startled, scared. But then once he's calmed, the first real word he says other than Empty is Love. And right after that he calls out for his Magician, for this man who did everything he could to save him, held him close and kissed him so tenderly on the forehead--

And Caleb throws his arms around Essek and Veth and just watches the Nein all descend on Tealeaf and embrace him amidst laughter and tears and Molly's starting to smile again and Caleb's so so happy just to see him finally alive and.

In that moment, Essek understands why they came all this way--

Another little inconsequential red hood thing and I'll admit that I'm decently biased but it irks me to see the whole "Jason can't shut up about his death/he makes his death everyone else's problem" take really frequently because he simply does not do that enough for it to be a thing in like any actual Red Hood story.

It's a thing you see sometimes in modern annuals/comics with large casts, particularly if a writer doesn't seem super confident with writing all of the characters that they're working with or if he's just a background character in this one, because with comics it's quicker to reduce a character to recognizable landmarks than to try and work out a whole new complex voice if you don't really need to, so it's tire iron, Jane Austen, Joker, and death, and it's all written out in dialogue because every character in a group event can't have their own internal monologue, but like. That's pretty much it. UTRH is the establishing event for Jason Todd post death so of course a lot of it is about his death, although it's arguably about the lack of response to his death more than his death itself, and he certainly makes it Bruce's issue but one beef doesn't make a trend. Plus if his death is anyone's issue beyond his own Bruce and Joker are like the number one guys whose issue it is. He THINKS about his death a ton in Lost Days, but it doesn't really reflect externally on any of his interactions besides with Joker, which again, that's justified and relevant beef. Teen Titans 29 is more about his place in the hero community/feeling like he was an outsider even before the bomb/Tim being the new robin than about his death, and side note, that being counted as an attempt on Tim's life also bugs me. He beat him up and then left of his own volition. That's not an assassination attempt its called a fight, albeit a sneaky and unfair one. But anyways. I can't speak on Battle for the Cowl because i haven't read it, both that and Batman and Robin 2009 don't really compel me, but it's entirely possible that's an outlier to my point seeing as I kinda sorta haven't read it and don't care to lmao. Even New 52 (although HIGHLY unpopular) and Rebirth/Dawn of DC/Whatever we're doing now Red Hood content don't really have him talking to people about it besides the occasional little quips. He might make stances that were developed because of his death other people's problem, like in the Mia Dearden Green Arrow situation with the "getting involved in other people's business" issue, but acting like he makes specifically his death everyone else's problem is ignoring all of the perfectly valid actually canon things he makes other people's problem. Most of the unpleasant traits he brings to the table are a result of his death and the sense of abandonment and betrayal that came with it, but that doesn't mean he's bringing his death into it when he acts unpleasantly any more than he's bringing his birth into it when he shows up in the first place. The consequences do not equal the event. All this to say it's irritating when people say the character is grating because he doesn't stop whining about his death when that kinda just indicates to me that they're working off fanon based on fanon based on kinda mid batman annual.

THE SILLY

[everythingiguess]

Mhok and Day will meet again, and they will not be the same people anymore.

Mhok will meet a Day that is happy and independent and who can live by himself, a person who doesn’t need to be looked after at all times. He will meet a Day that finished his studies despite thinking he would never be able to go back to college. He will meet that Day, and he will know; there will be no need to worry about him because he will meet a Day that has already proven it to the world. Mhok will meet a Day that has been living that way for a while, and nothing bad has happened. Good things have happened instead.

At the same time, Day will meet a Mhok who has taken opportunities, a Mhok who has started to reach his goals and has a better chance at living and trying and moving forward and doing what he loves. Hopefully, he will meet a Mhok who is healing and looking ahead despite the circumstances. And Day will be happy to know he did not hold him back, because Day has always wanted the best for Mhok even if he’s not there to see it.

Mhok and Day will meet again, and they will not be the same people anymore; they will be in a better place. A place where they’ll be able to figure it all out, to get past it, and to hold each other’s hands tightly and get through it together.

It’s a good few weeks, and it feels like everyone’s back on track, settling into their lives again, figuring everything out one day at a time. Buck’s happy. He has his awesome girlfriend, his best friend seems finally more at ease, even if the divorce is adding some stress, and his other best friend is happier than ever with his mom around. Everything’s finally starting to go great.

And then it all gets disrupted again.

Shout out to Gwen who's facade cracked first! I can't wait for everyone elses to follow.

One fun thing about bg3 vs dragon age games is that in dragon age, I can't think of a single character I didn't like off the bat, or at least wasn't vaguely interested in. Like yeah some of them are jerks, ogrens a little annoying sometimes, they all do bad things, but they're all easy to get attached to, then it's later on that some make decisions that hurt or disappoint you. But with balder's gate? I genuinely disliked several party members immediately. They were uninteresting, mean, annoying. But you keep playing, and you learn about them, and suddenly you realize they've grown on you like fungus and they have very deep and cool lore and thought and emotion and you get to slowly see them open up!! Both are so much fun!!!

Then again I've barely started my bg3 playthrough so who's to say ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm still doing my rewatch while my sister is seeing the show for the first and, man, there was thing I didn't remember very well.

Dean facing his demon self in a dream, that was so fucking INTENSE! WOW! And seeing Dean not wanting to go to Hell while you know what will happen is fucking heartbreaking. He finally said his father put so much shit on him and was like, "Yeah you go tell them, LOUDER!" The line that finished me was him saying he didn't deserve to go to Hell. He really didn't. And it makes me so mad to know how his story end, whatever, this is a problem for later.

And then in Mystery Spot, Sam had to live 6 months without Dean. You can see how much he suffered. Before watching it, I told my little sister that it was a fun episode, a bit sad but still funny. At the end she said: "that was the episode you wanted to see?" Well yeah, it was but in my head it was definitely funnier. But here Sam looked fucking destroyed at the end.

[awkward-but-nice]

idk lads, but i figure that bo-katan probably feels a ton of guilt and regret about her past with death watch, and her part in the fall of mandalore and her sister's death. and i'm guessing that her quest, to reclaim mandalore and lead the people, is part of her own personal journey to try and right those wrongs she's done. so the fact that any hope of that happening went out the window because a random dad won the special sword by accident, and then he doesn't even want it? i feel like she's allowed to be a bit pissed off lmao

[rhaenyra-first-of-her-name]

Idk what it says about me but the reveal has just made me like Armand more.

Yeah, go commit more crimes, my dear. His sad eyes have bewitched me. I stand with my cancelled wife.

But Armand is absolutely insane. Like he went from abandoning his og plan to rolling with Louis in a matter of days? Never say that this boy wasn't flexible. He is literally sick of everything in his life and is like, whatever 🤷‍♀️

Louis, Louis, Louis...... You are insane too for staying with him for 77 years to spite your ex. You are petty and I love this idea but you are still insane. I think this might be the first time you flabbergasted Armand and me. Love your petty ass, Louis.

Also since Armand let Louis sorta win their divorce fight, after just establishing him as the Big Bad™, for now, this man is forever scheming, 24/7. He is working overtime. Forever a stage director. (Okay, not really. He doesn't have the emotional bandwidth to be an effective manipulator, he's just an opportunist and oh boi, are the opportunities finally opportuniting after the shitstorm of his life so far.)

I know no one watches Solar Opposites but Justin Roiland being unceremoniously replaced by Dan Stevens is fucking hilarious

Hot Take - Amnesia

I hate amnesia story lines. They make me feel uneasy especially since some shows (read:see you in my 19th life) handled them really badly. I'm not a fan of it for Queen of Tears either and I'm hoping desperately it's just a plot device for angst and not something she ends up choosing or something that ends up happening.

One thing though I think it's necessary to point out that Hyunwoo was going to tell her everything and all the risks of the surgery no matter what. He just wanted to wait till they were in Germany so she couldn't outright refuse him. Do I think it's weird that she didn't receive the call from the hospital? Yes. Did I scream at Hyunwoo throughout the episode to tell her because I thought it would create drama and problems? Why yes, of course I did.

I did know however that the decision to have the surgery was ALWAYS going to be Haein's. I have enough trust in Hyunwoo to ensure his wife makes the decision. Also, I think Haein's father from the get go also requests Hyunwoo to take her to Germany and then tell her. He even requests him to convince her there to have the surgery knowing full well that the decision would be Haein's. They just wanted to increase the probability of her saying yes. Also it's extremely unethical and I'm sure would impact recovery if the concerned person didn't sign up for this kinda treatment. Also Hyunwoo isn't stupid, he knows the doctor was going to inform her of all the risks when she meets him in person, duh.

So I don't really mind how they played it I just mind ✨ Amnesia ✨ It's been done so many times and it's very cliché. In addition, Hyunwoo sweetie make all the promises you want but if she wakes up and decides she likes someone else, even Yoon eun sung of all people, you're. gonna. have. to. let. her. go! Or you'll be the creep no matter your history with her. I think Hyunwoo does know this and appreciates the sensitivity and risk of the situation but I think boi is choosing to be delulu that he can make her fall in love with him again which is fine but like do we really have to?

Secondly, memories make us up. Our lives are really shaped by them so her personality could end up being different as well. Let's just take her mother she would love her more now and so the harshness and coldness of her character would no longer be there. Her personality is interesting and having that go away would be sad for me as a viewer and for Hyunwoo.

Not to mention, I think amnesia story lines are annoying cause I remember what happened, your partner remembers what happened but here we all are unable to talk, reminisce or be happy about it. All memories have to be made anew, which is a shame cause of all the cute memories we've seen these past 13 episodes. With only 4.5 hours of screen time, a complex business story line and a psycho ex lover on the loose how many memories can you really make to convince me that this storyline was well worth it.

Lastly, unpopular take: I'd much rather take the angst of her death than the monotony of seeing her get her memories back. I'll cry buckets and complain at the injustice of it all. But life is unfair and things don't necessarily always work out like we expect them too. 2521 taught me that.
