Versailles season 3 thoughts

I just finished my Versailles rewatch and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the last season

- I HATE Madame de Maintenon so much you have no idea

- Three of her worst crimes: getting Liselotte’s baby taken away, firing Chev as master of ceremonies, and starting the whole ‘get rid of the Protestants’ thing

- It was very cathartic when her nude portraits got exposed

- We really took Madame de Montespan for granted

- You know it’s bad when you hate another mistress more than the one who participated in an attempted baby sacrifice

- I don’t like the ‘man in the iron mask’ plot line very much, I just don’t find it that interesting

- The whole thing was just Phillipe getting gaslit until the end

- RIP Maria-Theresa, you were a girlboss

- (the way she died is my WORST NIGHTMARE, I have a bug phobia, especially them crawling into my ears/nose/mouth)

- CHEVALIER’S HAIR THIS SEASON IS SO AMAZING

- They also give Liselotte way better hairstyles this season, she looks so pretty with her hair in a braid

- I don’t like the Paris people at all, sorry they are boring

- I know a lot of people like Guillaume but I don’t care about him

- I don’t like Delphine (I call her ‘that woman’) because I feel like she is taking advantage of Chev

- Like he is risking his life to help her and her friends and she is like “I wouldn’t marry you if you were the last person on earth”

- It was better towards the end I guess but I’m not a fan of their relationship

- I do love bi Chev though <3

- When they burned down Delphine’s father’s house I was like nooooo that house is so pretty

- I do respect her for keeping her faith but she needs to think about self preservation more

- If it was me I would just lie about being Catholic and continue to be Protestant in secret (I’m Lutheran irl)

- I hate the Vatican but I hate Louis even more

- I actually really like Colbert (RIP)

- The Portuguese infanta was kinda slay and Louis was super rude to her

- Louis thinking he is a god makes me so angry

- Can I just point out how during the thaumaturgy Louis didn’t even touch the people??? He just hovered his hands over them like he didn’t want to get dirty poor people germs

- Why did they have to do that to Fabien :( let him go be with Sophie or something

- This season is just Louis being stupid

- Last three episodes: screaming crying throwing up

- Love Monchelotte at the end though

- Overall: imo it is the worst season but still worth watching

*stares at screen for another two hours*

Alright that was enough for today *closes doc and goes to bed*

oh god i'm spiraling thinking about how this is going to make elaine feel after she hears asa did this as soon as she dropped him off! and beth and cara? danny and casper? stevie maybe being the one to find him?? IM LOSING IT

seriously i feel so bad for elaine, she has the least context of anyone in this situation. all she knows is that asa was acting weirder than normal and very secretive, then she takes him home and within hours he takes his life. she'll be rethinking everything he told her that day, i mean he literally said “If I can’t help anyone, then… I don’t know why I’m even here. I don’t know how much longer I can stand to be so useless.” she's going to feel so guilty :(

beth, who has been battling with herself over whether she should let asa be a normal kid with privacy and agency, and who only just convinced caroline to ease up on him a little. and cara??? this is quite literally her worst fear:

danny and casper, who both chose to pursue something for themselves instead of putting their family first like they always have in the past, who are terrified of being far away when their family needs them.

stevie, who convinced asa to look for finn in the first place, and who already has guilt over the way she froze up and watched a woman die because she couldn't jump into action quickly enough. stevie, who will have to be the one to intercept asa's parents at the door if the paramedics haven't gotten there yet.

jada, who we aren't sure how much she saw or knows yet, but the sheer amount of guilt she has weighing her down is already so so heavy. i can't even imagine how responsible she would feel for potentially being unable to save her best friend since the literal day he was born.

and finn??? the real kicker for me is that finn would/will be horrified when he finds out what asa put his family through, all for him. he got upset when asa did something as innocuous as burning family pictures, because asa's family loves him so much and he hates that asa has put such a strain on their relationship because of finn.

but i hope i've made it clear enough that this isn't really about finn. asa hasn't been cycling through antidepressants and seeing countless doctors since he was 12 for no reason; he genuinely does struggle with severe depression, losing finn was just the last straw. asa's ability to see ghosts has caused him so much pain over the years, but finn alone made it worth the heartache. without him, he feels entirely helpless. he's surrounded by people every moment of every day, but he can't connect with a single one of them. so while his motivation here may not have been to die and stay dead, i also can't say that he had a clear enough mind to be worried about the emotional impact this would have on the people around him. he knows that if caroline found his body, she would never recover from that, but even that is only a short-term consequence – he's not thinking about how his loved ones will feel in a week or a year or the rest of their lives. i can't really fault him for that. but the whole thing is fucking tragic :(

Figured out why I hate the Amphibia ship of Sasha, Anne, and Marcy so darn much

Because I really, really hate it

Simply because most of the Amphibia fandom treats it like there’s no other option. Like there is no other possible reason for why these girls love each other

Hello???? Platonic relationships??? Exist?????? You don’t have to ship them!!!!! They can just be friends!!!!!!

I made a post on my twitter a year ago that I'm still in the same feeling about:

"Whenever I see posts like "Don't feel bad about your art! Younger you would be so excited about how it looks now" I feel really awkward because younger me would be disappointed AS HELL over how my art looks. Those posts do not make me feel better lol

"Like, little me had the basic understanding that I'd improve as I got older, she would not be impressed that I'm simply not as bad as she was now. She grew up seeing all this fantastic art from 18 year olds online and desperately wanting that. She'd be so upset I'm still not even close to achieving that at 21" (now 22, going on 23 in a few months)

Tumblr sorta needs a 'Mute' feature in my opinion. Like what if I don't want to block this user, what if I don't want to become enemies and in some days I'd like to interact. But also most of the time seeing how they avidly encourage everyone else whereas I get the passive-aggressive 'oh yeah very uhh... interesting... (please leave me alone I don't like your art lol)' makes me want to unfollow every single fan of these characters and never draw them again.

I remember two years ago the exact same thing happened when someone liked the same character and the same ship and I swear I was the only person in the fandom they bluntly left out and could not spare a single good word for. I can't even blame this on my art being "ugly" because this type of user always aggressively praises all art styles and all levels of skill, it feels more like 'a personal thing except we never fought a single time'. And now my toxic trait of needing approval from [cool person name] is back to haunt me years later! Add the unability to "abandon" this character/ship/whatever despite wanting to after facing so much unspoken passive spite, because I am a contrarian and the best way to trap me into doing something is to try to exclude me from it. I didn't face attempts to very aggressively bully me out of the yard/class/community/etc, sometimes with physical violence included, only to let something mid like passive aggression online finally do it.

I am really stupid and naive person despite my age, but in like 5% of the cases I will still understand the hint and understand what is going on. Yet I have to pretend to be clueless even in rare situations when I know someone hates me, because since they never admitted it, quitting will be perceived as me being "paranoid". But dear goooood, it hurts sometimes. I hope that one day I will be numbed to being treated as a tumor on an otherwise healthy body of society that someone is dying to amputate- and always a person whose approval I want, of all people. Knowing that this day will come is one of the things that keep me going as both a person and a creator. Things like viruses and diseases still try their best to persist, so even if I am actually one, I should persist. It doesn't matter whether I actually rot everything around me or this is just my self-depreciating delusion upon focusing on people that mistreated me and not people that loved me. What matters is persisting, I just still feel angry that it hurts. I can't respond spite with spite or passive aggression with passive aggression, I can't do the 'smug asshole' when I become aware that someone tries to starve me until I "die". I can just fall over and cry about it like a kicked dog, despite being so old, especially when it is a person I didn't have anything against.

And really.. It is as simple as turning the internet off, so I don't see The Person and can focus on doing stuff that I like, as if they never existed and can't crash my self-esteem. It is just annoying to keep doing this, a feature to not see them unless I am in the mood would be better. Like.. blocking is not an option. Not only it implies being enemies which is not my intention, but also it will be like an "evidence" that I was "crazy". They didn't do anything, right? Well, they know what they did, but it was never verbal, so it is my fault I "imagined things", right?

maybe this is a controversial opinion but like....some of yall are getting Way too comfortable at the idea of killing another human being just because theyre “problematic”

warning body image talk /

sometimes when i walk by a mirror i feel like shriveling up and dying. and sometimes when i walk by a mirror i look at myself and think cool i'm doing my part in normalizing transmascs that aren't sharp-jawed and skinny as a twig good for me. neither of which are at all healthy ways of looking at it probably but one is definitely serving me better than the other yknow
