#book snub episode tag

[booksnub]

It's been 84 years... and finally we return to finish Matched. Cassia searches for artifacts in the physical black market and goes on more boring outings with the boys she lusts over, Xavier and Kyle, neither of which have a personality. Ky writes some very bad poetry.

Stick around after we snub the book to listen to Jazz snub the Aquaman movie and then a brief foray into Stardew Valley discussions.

So cruising through the Stand tag (which I do sometimes, because I have no self control), I saw a post sympathizing with Harold, talking about some kind of attempted consolation from the Boulder crew that I can only assume happened in the latest episode that I haven't bothered to speedrun yet, and how they didn't deserve to try and comfort him. They were talking about how shallow Frannie was to suddenly want to care about Harold when she's never been interested in him, and only went with him in the beginning because everyone else was dead, even though honestly, if I were Frannie, I would have just gone on my own, like... Harold in this version is so much worse, I would not trust that guy to sleep next to me at night.

Anyway, I'm making this post to say that this is what happens, Boone, when you decide to center your shitty remake around a character that a) you decided was not a good person to begin with (the peeping, the obsessive behavior, the general 'nice guy' attitude with several unsubtle hints at violent tendancies) and b) by the end is so far corrupted (it was a short fall though) that he was completely willing to kill at least seven people just because a girl he liked snubbed him. This is what happens when you decide that you're going to take that asshole and make him a main, and give him the roster of (frankly overdone) 'feel sorry for this dick' tropes: 'mean and uncaring family,' 'emo lonely boi,' and 'but he was bullied!!!!!' in some misguided attempt to humanize him. Like seriously, what the fuuuck were you even thinking??? Was this what you wanted? And why???? I don't even have a witty remark anymore, just why????

Also, can I say that from what I remember of the book, and from the 94 series, the whole thing with Harold wasn't that he was a really bad guy (I say while cringing) to begin with, but that he fell to Flagg and gave in to that dark side of himself. He started his journey more or less in the middle, and kind of fell over the more things went on, because he wasn't willing to put in the work of being good.

But no, because Boone is a moron who obviously sees too much of himself in Harold, we get this utter mess of a setup that's ultimately going to crash and burn (jesus, I swear that was not an intentional connection) and collapse in on itself once he does the deed. Unless King's rewrite means that Harold won't blow up the meetinghouse, you've written yourself into yet another corner, locked yourself into a character direction that cannot happen, because unless you want to somehow make killing Nick out to be a good thing (and I swear to fucking god, that'd better not be your fucking angle), you cannot reconcile the two halves of Harold that you've created, or somehow redeem him after this. Partially because fuck you, but mostly because this is an act that isn't meant to be redeemed! You want to have your goddamn kin cake and eat it too, but congruency and character consistency are sticky plates, and if you try to take a piece off, it's going to have gluey shit on it and taste accordingly.

Look, Harold can either be your uwu sad boy who should be pitied, or he can be the way King wrote him. You cannot have both.

Tldr; Harold is not a character that was meant to be pitied, and Josh Boone is a worthless fuck

I was tagged by @blackbirdinthebox and @shochmonster, thank you so much!

rules: tag nine people who you want to know better/catch up with and then answer those questions.

last song: Bic Runga - Sway. I stumbled upon this one, I don’t think I’ve heard it before, but it really reminds me of/encompasses those late 90s teen movies (soundtracks) for me, so it actually gets me all nostalgic even though I don’t remember hearing it before. I think it’s very lovely. (Oh, and when I said that it reminds me of those 90s teen movies and their soundtracks, I honestly meant that in a positive way, I think those movies have really good soundtracks.)

last movie: Hustlers. A few nights ago I was looking for something to watch but was already too tired to really go actively searching. When it showed up as an option, I remembered reading some discussions about it having been snubbed at the Oscars this year and decided to give it a go. I feel like I can’t really judge it though, because it ended up not really being my cup of tea.

currently reading: Books for my studies/thesis.

currently watching: Agatha Christie’s Poirot (the tv show with David Suchet). I really like it, I stumbled upon it a few months ago when it was already pretty far ahead (there’s 13 seasons and it ran (with some interruptions) from 1989 to 2013). Luckily, after the last episode had run, the channel that airs it just started from the beginning again. I really enjoy it, and while watching the last few seasons, I also saw a lot of actors from Downton Abbey and some other pretty famous ones, too, like Michael Fassbender or Jessica Chastain pop up.

currently craving: Most of all being finished with my thesis (I’m still at an early point and already feel terrible about it).

I’m tagging @rants-of-an-ecologist, @oleander4, @black-rosegold and @music-on-canvas, only if you’d like, of course!

Behind the Scenes of The End of Time (Part 15)

Excerpt from The Writer’s Tale: The Final Chapter by Russell T Davies and Benjamin Cook:

From an e-mail exchange between RTD, Julie Gardner, Tracie Simpson [producer], Peter Bennett [first assistant director] and Andy Pryor [casting director] on what might happen if they can’t get the full list of guest stars booked for this episode.  As of this discussion, the list was: Catherine Tate, Jacqueline King, Bernard Cribbins, Billie Piper, Camille Coduri, John Barrowman, Freema Agyeman, Noel Clarke, Jessica Hynes, Elisabeth Sladen, and Tommy Knight.

From Julie:  The budget is going to be well and truly spent across these episodes. Russell - do you agree, as you’ll be facing a possible rewrite if we fail on this?

From RTD: Oh, of course. Anyone falling out would have a knock-on effect, though. I’ve got to say: If, for example, any one companion said no, then the omission would look weird. It’s inviting a tabloid story saying that we snubbed them, or that they snubbed us. More importantly, for kids, it would just look odd - from the Doctor’s point of view, he’d never leave one of them out! If that happened, we’d have to drop everyone, except Billie and Camille (because that’s going to be a nice coda to the whole of our time on the series), and Donna (because Donna, via Wilf, is more woven into the story). But let’s see, as we go along. If we did lose one of them, then we could try something very clever and have the Doctor looking on from afar with previous footage. Oh, I’m cunning. Easier said than done, mind you.

Having said that, if there’s a problem with Jessica Hynes, then that scene is a bit of a luxury and is independently droppable.

Thank goodness everyone they asked said “Yes!”

OoC: Favorite Characters

I decided to focus on villains or anti-heroes, it’s hard picking just favorites in a general sense.

1. Harleen Quinzel A.K.A Harley Quin - DC Comic Universe I have been in love with this woman since September 1992 when she first aired in the Batman Animated series, Joker’s favor. Due to her brilliant creators of Paul Dini and Bruce Tim, led with the voice talents of Arleen Sorkin. She was born from her own raw desire to help people in her own best way possible, using her talents of understanding, reading and in many sense controlling people. Sadly, like Alice in wonderland, she fell into a realm of madness and uncertainty. She has been one of the most complex characters in animated history with large backstory and many turns and takes. Extremely popular on various forms and has made many appearances over the years even scoring some of her own comics and shows and now movies. When she was first created, she was merely a fill in and not meant to take and yet here she stands, a triumphant beauty whose overcome Abuse, trauma and degradation.

2. Azula - Avatar the last air bender animated television show + comics What can i say about Azula? In many retrospects she’s fierce, powerful, driven and just intelligent! I think a lot of people forget something pretty important about her: SHE WAS FOURTEEN! This young teenage, overthrew governments, taking whole cities and was the closest to killing the Avatar compared to anyone else. Not to mention her pure intelligence! People compare to playing a game of chess when it comes to moving people or controlling their actions. No, to this woman it was checkers. I truly believe if she didn’t become as over-confident as she did, the war would have ended with her taking the world. With the right nurturing, she would have become the most feared overlord the world would ever see.

3. Loghain Mac Tir - Dragon age book (The Stolen Throne by: David Gaider) and Dragon age Origins the Video game. Yeah, there’s a theme so far i am guessing you are seeing. I can’t help but appreciate sheer intelligence. Loghain is sort of obvious in the video games, it’s clear his intents. At the same time, there is far far more than what is merely on the surface with this man. An obvious villain, almost to the point of it being boring. Yet, why in the games are so many people hesitant and trusting of him? This man had proved himself, over and over, that he had his country in his heart and would do anything to protect it and keep it from the true monsters of the world. People. He was never shy about the routes he’d take, the lengths he’d go, he was brass, courageous, and deceptive. He called things out, forced people to seeing the bigger picture, he didn’t need to control or lie to people about things. He got what he wanted in the most unique ways possible, not his title, not his money, not his charisma but by being true in what had to be done. 

4. Sylvanas Windrunner - Blizzard Entertainment Video games I don’t see her as a Villain, an Anti-hero, yes. Look, we all know Blizz can’t seem to understand women or know how to write them on a large scale. I seriously feel bad for both, Piera Coppola and Patty Mattson as they have to watch this poor woman get brutally torn to pieces. I will always, always have a soft spot for her and remember the days where in many respects was like Illidain, and (above) Loghain. A woman who saw the bigger picture and would sacrifice anything to save everything she cared for. I wont drag on for her, simply because i know the most people who are doing this and following are from the Blizzard franchise and i know we have all heard many many layers to this continued argument about this particular character. If ya wanna PM about it or rant at me, bring it. I’m an Alliance player at heart, but i only got into w.o.w because of this woman. Both sides are shit. *drops mic*

5. Aaravos - Dragon Prince, Netflix television animated show. Okay, seriously, if you haven’t seen the show yet: DO IT! Just as with this theme, INTELLIGENCE, INTELLIGENCE, INTELLIGENCE! Tactful, charming, knowledgeable, i mean...look at that face! He is hands down perfect. Sadly, we still know very little of him but goshdamnit! Love! Love! Love! I can not wait to know more of him and see more of him. 

6. Maleficent - Fairy Tale story / Disney The jist of her, from stories and movies, is general: She was snubbed or insulted by the royal court and took her revenge on the child they were all celebrating. I’m sorry, but this has always been fantastic to me. What is more painful and hard to deal with then your own child being cursed? Claim petty if you want, but no, oh no my dear friend, this is a brilliant revenge. A normal person would blame the man in charge and curse him, but meh, whatever. Kings wont remember how they snubbed others, this is proven time and time again in many stories. Will this act ever be forgotten? Will the generations always remember not to snub a powerful faerie? You better believe it! She made a ever lasting mark, an impression that has lasted since the 13th century! Throughout the years no one has changed these facts: Maleficent was powerful, she was disrespected and she took her revenge onto a child. Normal stories like these over the years have changed both villains and heroes, or even circumstances. This classic has even seen the beautiful creation, directed by Robert Stromberg from a screenplay by Linda Woolverton, and still they honour the root of what was and with a focus on the villain and her origins.  How many villains get this?

7. Narberal Gamma - Overlord Anime/ Manga series Who doesn’t love a maid? Not to mention a Battle maid. Narberal is...mm, i don’t even know how to express her. She’s just generally cool, powerful, intelligent, loyal and honest with everything around her, just a demeanor of a refined perfection. She’s enjoyable to watch. Another thing i enjoy, she’s not the main villain. The show itself has many “villains”, i say in such way because it’s never really clear or obvious what you can count as villain or hero in a lot of ways. Yes, some are obvious but even then in many cases showed within it’s all about circumstances, who you are following, why you are following them. I enjoy the not so cut and dry of “good and evil”. This character also helps continue that ploy, helping and yet also killing people.

8. Carmilla - Castlevania Netflix series I’m a huge vampire fan, been so since middle school. I’m not as quick whipped as i use to be about the lore, history and so on when it comes to many Vampires and their origins. With such said, damn she made me bring out the books again, especially because she was one of my favorites to read about. I mean, Lesbian vampire. Do i need to say more? For now, i’ll only focus on the more recent adaption of her. So, yeah theme? We get it, intelligence. The world truly is a chess board for her, however she does not expect people to just flip the board on her. God, Jaime Murray, thank you so much for that wtf moment cause you expressed her sheer just horror at watching everything fall around her with perfection. Throughout the points we see Carmilla we see her truly be the tact master, stirring the pot and also showing her prowess in form. There is also a lot of restraint i don’t think people will give her credit for. We see how she expresses her emotions in violence, but i also think we are seeing it in a very, very pulled back way. I look forward to seeing how she changes her circumstances and sets things back into her own order in the coming season.

9. Akasha - Book series: The Queen of the Damned by Anne rice and movie: The Queen of the damned. Ah yes, the books that helped start the joys of vampires and how could i not fall in love with someone toying into the very beginning and trying to draw into the beginnings of a creature known throughout the world and time. Why do i choose Akasha considering i already touched base on vampires? Simple, she will always deserve a spot on any favorite list of anything. She gave so little cares about anything and only wanted the world to die and feel her wrath. Not to mention Aaliyah played this part so beautifully well it deserves every recognition it can get. I know she doesn’t seem to quite fit with the rest, but this is partly why she is so low on the list.

10. Callisto - Xena television series Last but certainly not least, we can’t forgot about this one. Good? Bad? Surely just pure chaos! She does what she wants and cares little about the consequences. It’s been ages since i’ve last seen the show i will admit, so my bases on her is a bit rusty. However, i will always remember her out of the many other villainous people we meet in the Xena universe. Fun, witty, combatant, you never knew what she was really going to do. As soon as she popped into a episode, i would recall fondly sitting at the edge of my seat just wondering how or why she did the things she did. There is my list of favorites, i’m sure you can see the themes between them all as many of them have common traits, inspirations and personalities. Hope you all enjoyed!

Since I see this becoming an issue around the fandom I just want to sincerely apologize to anyone in the Daensa fandom who I ever offended by referring to Daensa as a crack ship. Throughout the internet you can find different and varying definitions for what a crack ship is. Some of those definitions paint a crack ship as being something wildly impossible, like crossover pairings, pairings from different universes or timelines, etc. 

To me, a crackship is a ship that I still find to be a highly unlikely or maybe even impossible ship, but the characters are still in the same canon universe, the same show/book/movie/video game/whatever, but are either incompatible in canon (Dramione) or highly unlikely for other reasons (Sansa/Pod). I don’t use the term crack ship to disparage. Some of my favorite ships are crack ships by my definition of or understanding of the term: Sansa/Podrick, Jaime/Dany, etc. I consider them crack because I am fairly certain they won’t be canon, so when I write fic or make content for them, I sometimes like to clarify that I understand it’s “crack”--just for fun, something I’m doing because I like it and enjoy and not as a predictor of canon developments or a snub at established canon. I feel like it’s a recent fandom phenomenon for that to be perceived as an insult. For me to say I ship something but don’t think it’ll be canon doesn’t make me ship or like it any less, or think any less of people who ship or like it. But if you’re using THIS definition of a crack ship:

Then I can see why you’re upset if someone calls your ship that. That makes a lot of sense. I get that. 

For the record, I have always thought of a crack ship more along these lines:

When I first became interested in the Jonerys fandom we were often called a “crack ship” before season 7 aired and that’s what made me think of the term this way. When I was younger and spent a lot of time on HPFF someone wrote Draco/Luna and people commented that it was a crack ship. But in both cases the characters existed in the same universe and timeline and were the same age and either were or would soon be in the same area together. But it was still considered crack--Draco/Luna because he was a villain and they almost never interacted and Jon/Dany because they hadn’t met.

But again, currently, I love crack ships? That term is literally in the description of my Jaime/Dany sideblog and has been since day one. So idk. For some of us it’s a positive thing! Just a way to classify something, and they way I’ve been talking about any unlikely or currently non-canon ships I like.

Bottom line: I ship Daensa. I like Daensa. I have a Daensa tag and a draft of a Daensa fic on my laptop somewhere. But I also have other Dany ships and other Sansa ships and I never really considered that Daensa would happen in canon so I classified it as one of my crack ships. I didn’t mean that to be a hateful thing and definitely not a specifically w|w thing. I honestly don’t believe that any new relationships for Dany or Jon could happen in the last six episodes, especially with people they’ve yet to meet, and that’s what informs my opinion more than anything else. But I just felt the need to clarify this because I’m seeing a lot of discourse about it on my dash that is making me regret the language I’ve used to talk about this pairing in the past. I wasn’t trying to shade anyone’s shipping and I apologize again if that’s how it was received. I won’t use this term to describe the ship again in the future.

aaand my 9.18 thoughts! there are many of them. this is the episode with danny’s mother in law and it was... a ride.

half naked sweaty man growls at random cars in the dark - is this teen wolf? twilight? so many possibilities

half naked sweaty man just got hit by a truck in a way he probably won’t survive if he’s not actually a werewolf. i don’t recall that ever happening in twilight, gosh.

we get steve and danny arriving at the hilton! this i’ve seen, because it was one of the preview clips, but i do like it a lot. i also like that steve implies that danny has been holding the liver donation over steve’s head constantly for favors, because a) we haven’t actually seen danny do that in recent times as far as i remember? like, at all? but mostly: b) this opens up endless fic opportunities about the many and varied Things Danny Asks Steve To Do to repay him for, and I quote danny here, “the gift of life”. that’s beautifully dramatic. nice choice of words.

and another thing: steve is claiming that this is the last favor he’ll do for danny and then they’ll be even, but come on, steve, honey. we all know who you are. we’ve all seen you agree to run a flipping restaurant with danny. like you’re going to tell him no after this, next time he asks you to do something ridiculous

danny: “your naive optimism is uh, is very cute.” steve: [looks at danny sideways for a moment too long]

danny is trying to tell steve that his mother in law tortured him his entire marriage and steve’s not really getting it, so that’s Not Good, but i’m skipping past that for the moment and hopping straight into “what are you gonna do? just tell me.” / “i’m gonna stand there and look handsome and not say anything.” because that is Good. i rambled about this in the tags of some post, i think, but i love how steve’s response is clearly rehearsed and probably something danny fed him pretty literally (“[don’t just] stand there and look handsome” is an exact phrase danny used earlier this season, even), which is something all kinds of things could be said about in general, but also means that danny indirectly called steve cute AND handsome in the span of maybe a minute of this episode. wherever this ends up, at least it has a good start

this DANGER! DANGER! music when rachel’s mother opens the door both made me laugh with how unexpectedly over the top it was and has me kind of tired of the setup of this plotline already. terrible, horrible mother in law stories? i’m not a huge fan

alright, so i’m ignoring all the prickly passive-agressive behavior from rachel’s mom towards danny for the moment because ugh, and what i like far better anyway is how well steve is keeping to his mission to stand sit there and look handsome and not say anything. he even LOOKS AT DANNY FOR PERMISSION when rachel’s mom asks him a direct question that he can’t answer with stoic, handsome silence.

the first words out of steve’s mouth are, of course, “daniel’s my partner”. when are they not. (though he did remember the “we work together” bit this time, which is rare)

he called danny “daniel” and introduces himself as “steven” which cracks me up for no good reason. i guess he’s trying to be fancy?

i... i... you know, i just don’t really know what to say about the way rachel’s mom (amanda savage, i think? let’s call her amanda) snubs danny every chance she gets and flirts with steve in this extremely, well, almost stereotypical “rich older woman on the prowl” way. idk, i really think meeting rachel’s mom could have been very interesting, but with the way this character was written and behaves, she’s pretty much a caricature. not even in a way that’s clever or funny to me, just in a way that really tires me out because it’s mean and not very interesting and every so slightly misogynistic.

steve: “i can handle myself.” amanda, leering: “i bet you can.” danny: YEP ALRIGHT i’m going to jump in here with an unnecessary defense of steve that sounds like i’m boasting about him.

steve thinks danny needs to relax. oh boy. oh babe. that’s maybe not... quite the right way to handle this situation where your bff is very clearly being put down repeatedly by a woman that he’s been telling you (also repeatedly) that he has a bad history with. on the other hand, you know, i could almost make steve’s reaction here make sense for myself, because amanda reminds me of steve’s own mom in certain ways and steve’s never been good at standing up against doris or seeing her shit for what is really is either, so. gosh. boy has some issues. (but danny still REALLY deserves better support than this, so get over it, steve.)

why the random single word of italian, steve, omg. danny’s “kiss ass” was very deserved.

junior: “the killer’s dna or fingerprints could be on one of these vials.” tani: “ugh, wouldn’t that be oh so helpful? which probably means it’s not gonna happen.” tani, you poetic and nobel land mermaid, you really don’t know how these detective shows work, do you?

i do like this case that the rest of five-0 is working on, by the way! it’s very interesting so far

steve: “i am four glasses of champagne in today.” fdjkfdjk maybe that’s how he’s still so cheerful in amanda’s presence. hey danny, there’s your solution: day drinking.

okay. OKAY. amanda just handed steve and only steve a present for all his hard work because he “came of [his] own volition”, which sure, whatever, obviously she was going to snub danny here too by not getting him anything, but the reason for it is what bugs me. “i realize of course that daniel had to come because of the family obligations and that”, she says, but omg, WHAT family obligations? he divorced your daughter, holy shit. he’s your grandkids’ dad, but that’s a LOT of corners to take before we get to you two being family, let alone having any obligations to each other. which, really, even if he did have those - maybe you, dear amanda, could possibly be convinced to feel obligated to be ever so slightly less completely hostile to this guy who’s doing you a favor. this is. this is very annoying.

this thing where steve asks amanda about where she gets the ideas for her books and amanda says she just had some inspiration for a story about a policeman who risks everything for the love of an older woman? i mean, i knew something like that was coming, because it had to, but i still think it’s pretty damn creepy.

steve: “i would uh, i would read that.” steve, darling, the fuck are you doing.

danny: “yeah, except he can’t actually read unless it’s a cereal box or something like that.” completely untrue (steve is a nerd! steve reads for fun!), but also completely deserved, holy shit. wreck him, danny.

amanda complains about rachel’s wedding day (when she was getting married to danny, obviously, who’s sitting right next to her) and we’re getting some impressive Looks between steve and danny and yes!! that’s better!! that’s more like the understanding danny deserves

danny’s dad paid extra for the fish tank in the wedding day limousine for amanda (which means he went out of his way to get her something nice!) that she’s now ragging on, and her answer is “well daniel, you and i have different ideas of what constitutes class” which is just. god. i hate everything about that. and not even in the way where it’s fun to dislike a character, which it can be if things are done right, but in the way where it just... physically makes my skin crawl. idk if this is still supposed to be funny, but it’s not my idea of humor.

junior: “i’m pretty sure that guy thinks i’m gay.” tani: “weird. just a normal, heterosexual dude chatting up every muscley guy in this gym. what would make anyone think that?” okay, so this isn’t the most original joke ever, but this show is often so extremely straight that i’m just low key very excited about every single time they acknowledge the fact that that’s not entirely the only option. also, i love tani. so much.

TANI HAS TO IMPROVISE A DANCE CLASS. “booty boost 101.” beautiful. THAT’S the content i’m here for, omg.

danny: “you hear that stuff about the wedding?” steve: “yeah, that was a little harsh.” A LITTLE. and then he starts explaining the difference between the english and americans to danny, which, sweetheart, danny was married to an englishwoman for a decade. you’re mansplaining this except, like, to another man, for a change.

danny tells steve that he FLEW TO ENGLAND on a budget to ask amanda for rachel’s hand because rachel’s dad had passed away and amanda told him no. oh, fuck off. steve, you fuck off too, right now, because i love you but you’re being Not Great about this.

steve: “you know what that is, right? that right there, that’s self-pity.” STEVE. NO. BAD STEVE. i get where he’s coming from and maybe danny even needs to hear this on some level, but steve can’t say this shit after he’s already been taking amanda’s side all day.

steve: “cause let me telll you right now, you, my friend, you are more than adequate.” danny: “thank you. thank you.” steve: “you’re welcome.” that’s more like it! it’s a start, anyway, even though it’s probably all we’re going to get.

danny has made reservations at THREE fancy restaurants to give amanda options, but she asks for steve’s opinion and he (of course) takes her to kamekona’s. oh god. but hey, at least danny’s “please make sure that everything is fresh, because if she gets food poisoning we’ll all be killed” made me laugh.

FLIPPA READS ROMANCE NOVELS AND WILL NOT BE ASHAMED OF IT. this is the first actually good thing to come out of this whole romance novel author thing!

steve, to amanda, while danny is out of earshot: “you know i got to tell you something, i’ve known a lot of people in my life, and that man right there? [points to danny, pauses] he’s the best of the best.” this is GOOD, but you should perhaps consider not only taking danny’s side with any kind of conviction when it’s behind his back. he needs to hear this!!!

amanda pretends to be unsure if steve means flippa or danny and steve goes, actually kind of annoyed for the first time all day, “mandy”, and i appreciate that. i appreciate less that amanda immediately tries to change the subject so they’re talking about steve.

danny tries one last time to point out to amanda that she’s being unfair and when she’s still unwilling to admit to anything he calmly STANDS UP and WALKS AWAY. i can’t even put words to how much i’m cheering for him right now because SHIT YES GOOD FUCKING FINALLY. plus, the way he did this? fuck. i’m proud.

amanda’s reaction: “ah.” can we, like... send her into space? permanently?

steve’s face, though, is far more interesting to me.

lou shoots the doctor who was trying to run away in the leg!!!! holy shit, that’s exactly the thing i’m always quietly wondering about, because it would be SUCH a good way to keep someone from running without, you know, killing the suspect on the spot.

this thing with tani almost dying was intense, god.

danny is at the hotel bar and tells the bartender he has a buddy coming to meet him (which is why he buys two beers) soooo that’s very obviously steve. and then amanda turns up. which i knew would happen, because i’ve seen people talk about it, but still. not what we want.

amanda...... “swiped”..... steve’s phone. meaning she lured danny here using steve. great. awesome. just, really, just super. (like. fucking at least be honest about wanting to talk to danny or something, if that’s what you want. he’s been nothing but curteous to you despite your horrific behavior, and still you feel the need to trick him into this? jesus.)

“sorry for all the subterfuge but i had to have a conversation with you and i knew that you’d say no if i asked.” if there’s one thing that’s become pretty clear this episode it’s that she literally doesn’t know danny at all, omg, but i guess that at least this is in character for her by now.

oh my gosh. just. oh my fucking god. amanda tells danny that she kind of identified with him because she grew up with three siblings in a two-bedroom apartment, but she always wanted something more, and she was looking for a good man but never found one, and then she was jealous of rachel when rachel found danny because he is a good man. this is so many levels of fucked up all stacked on top of each other that i don’t even want to try to pry them apart right now.

danny, very drily: “hm.” I LAUGHED SO HARD. this episode is shitty to danny, but at least danny’s reactions are very on point and relatable.

amanda goes on, and of course shit gets worse, because her bodyguard isn’t even out of commission, she just used that as a ploy to “have a talk” with danny. danny kind of laughs like this is the weirdest shit he’s heard all week and goes “yeah?” and honestly, poor guy.

danny: “you didn’t wanna just tell me that when you, when you first saw me? you wonna torture me for the whole day?” you know, one thing i’m glad for is that at least, at the very least, the show lets danny be fully aware that this is Not Okay.

amanda: “do you care about my daughter, daniel?” danny: “yes, i do.” amanda: “well good, then don’t toy with her affections. i know that you two have been seeing each other a lot and i know that she is talking about you all the time so i don’t want to see her hurt again, okay?” listen. this is just. this is just such bizarre retcon shit the writers are trying to pull about the way things between rachel and danny went down that i just. i’m mad, on some level, sure, but mostly i just have to laugh because it’s so ridiculous? danny’s mother in law is an absolute nightmare to him all day, then lies to get him to this hotel bar for a talk, confesses she orchestrated this entire day just to get to this talk (but still wilfully made him miserable for some reason? why???), and tells him that he shouldn’t play with her daughter’s feelings after she’s never been anything but awful to him, has tried to keep her away from her daughter from the very start, and just told him that she apparently did all of that (for years and years!) because she was jealous that rachel had found a Good Man and she hadn’t. i am. completely overwhelmed, honestly. this is too much to take in.

amanda: “i want you to do right by her. will you do right by her?” danny: “yes.” danny looks confused, and that’s how i feel, honestly.

... and. and then he pays for champagne for her. wasn’t she having dinner with rachel and the kids? why is she drinking champagne with danny now? 

okaaaaay. so. this was... an episode. that’s something i can say for sure.

for all of the rest of it, i think i need to give this some time to sink in and mull it over, because there’s A LOT to unpack here. amanda is, uh, a strong character. she doesn’t seem like a person i’d wish on anyone, least of all as a mom. rachel’s deception and her penchant for lying to danny? yeah, i can see where that’s coming from, now. that’s one interesting thing to come from this episode, i suppose - some character background for rachel.

then there’s steve, who took most of this way less seriously than i think he really should have, and when he finally started seeing sense and sticking up for danny near the end of the episode, he just... disappeared. i really wanted steve and danny to at least have some kind of talk after danny walked away from kamekona’s, but that was the last we saw of steve. danny was trying to have a beer with steve, but obviously that turned out to have been amanda’s charming little “ploy”, so he ended up having champagne with amanda instead. which is still. uh. weird. she never apologized for any of the shit she pulled (except for that little “sorry for all the subterfuge” which really doesn’t cover it) and even after she supposedly explained herself, she still turned her nose up at the beer that danny had bought for steve and offered to her until he said she could have something else if she wanted. doesn’t she have her own money? she’s a rich romance author. buy your own fucking champagne, amanda. or better yet, cover danny’s beer - it’s the last you could do.

what i liked a little more was danny’s complete lack of a reaction to most of what amanda said to him at the bar. i mean, he laughs and looks disbelieving and possibly a little wtf-ish, but that’s about it. i’m guessing, as usual when it comes to anything danny&rachel related, that the writers are interpreting this differently from what i want to read into this (or at least they’re using it to push in a direction i really don’t want to go), but that’s the thing about this - it’s pretty open to interpretation, because danny says very little and his faces could mean any of a million things.

also. that talk at the bar? it feels kind of useless in the end. amanda said some stuff but didn’t apologize or promise to change her behavior and in fact she seemed pretty much the same with her whole champagne thing, and danny didn’t really get to say anything at all, so this does pretty much nothing for them. i guess the champagne was meant as a celebration for... a new level of understanding? but is that really something that was happening there? you could read that into it, if you really wanted to, but i’m not seeing it.

anyway. i liked the drugs storyline that the rest of five-0 was working on! that was good. the steve and danny part... i don’t know. it was a lot.

Hello! I want to write a dissertation on complex female characters and obviously the first one I thought about was Amy Dunne. I was wondering if you could recommend any similar complex female characters from books/movies if possible? I'd love to do a comparative study on the above-mentioned characters. Thank you 🌸

Oh, absolutely! Feel free to send it to me when you’re finished writing it as well!

- My immediate thought was Blanche Dubois from A Streetcar Named Desire. She’s one of my all-time favorite literary characters and I would do just about anything to play her. My favorite interpretation of her was by Gillian Anderson in the 2016 production, which there is a proshot of but I seem to have lost my link to. :( You can probably find it if you poke around in the tag, but if not, Vivien Leigh’s portrayal in the 1951 movie is generally considered to be the most iconic incarnation of her (although the movie had to cut some important plot points because of period-era censorship, so I would definitely recommend reading the original play). tw for very heavily implied sexual assault though

- Dana Scully from The X-Files (another Gillian Anderson character lmao. Maybe we stan but I swear this list isn’t too biased). A lot of people in the fandom have listed what they consider to be the most iconic Scully episodes but I would definitely recommend All Things since that was the one Gillian herself wrote and directed. She had been playing Scully for seven seasons by that point and used the episode as a chance to explore more sides of the character she felt like she hadn’t been able to express. There’s also the phenomenon of the “Scully Effect”, where a lot more women started going into science, medical, and law careers after the show began airing and Scully was some of the first representation of a successful woman in those fields (this was in 1992, so).

- I actually wrote an essay of my own for a film studies class on Guillermo Del Toro’s female characters! Pan’s Labyrinth, Pacific Rim, Crimson Peak, and The Shape of Water all have fantastic female leads, and I honestly recommend any of them. I’m specifically biased towards Crimson Peak, which is both a love letter to and 21st-Century interpretation of the gothic romance genre (think Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, etc.). Edith is a great examination of the gothic heroine archetype and Jessica Chastain steals just about every scene as Lucille.

- Both of the female leads in The Handmaiden (this is another one I’ve written an essay on). I think two years since this movie’s release, Tumblr is finally out of the worst discourse surrounding it, thank God. Along with layered characterization and fantastic usage of unreliable narrator, this movie also has a great lesbian romance and criticism of pornographic male gaze both as a whole and against wlw specifically. It’s also stylistically gorgeous, I’m still salty over the international awards snubs.

- Elaine Parks in The Love Witch. This movie is starting to make its rounds on Tumblr as an aesthetic blog favorite, but there is a lot to unpack both within the movie and when you read some of the stories about its production (Anna Biller fought to have almost complete creative control; she not only wrote and directed it, she was also the producer, editor, and composer of the score. Many crew members acted hostile towards not only her, but the cast, and allegedly even attempted to sabotage filming).

- Killing Eve is also getting a lot of well-deserved recognition for its female leads! Sandra Oh has already won several awards for her acting in it, and while Jodie Comer got snubbed this year, I have a feeling the second season is going to change that once it airs in April. This one has gotten a lot of buzz on Tumblr and in general so you probably already know it, but I feel like it belongs here. Hope I was able to help!

EDIT 1: One of my mutuals recommended The Americans, which I haven't seen for myself but I'm taking their word for.

And we had. Instead of proceeding directly to Paris, though, we had come down the coast from Ste. Anne to Le Havre, to meet first with Jamie’s cousin, Jared Fraser.

A prosperous Scottish émigré, Jared was an importer of wines and spirits, with a small warehouse and large town house in Paris, and a very large warehouse indeed here in Le Havre, where he had asked Jamie to meet him, when Jamie had written to say we were en route to Paris.

…

Jared Munro Fraser was a small, spare, black-eyed man, who bore more than a passing resemblance to his distant cousin Murtagh, the Fraser clansman who had accompanied us to Le Havre. When I first saw Jared, standing majestically in the gaping doors of his warehouse, so that streams of longshoremen carrying casks were forced to go around him, the resemblance was strong enough that I blinked and rubbed my eyes. Murtagh, so far as I knew, was still at the inn, attending a lame horse.

Jared had the same lank, dark hair and piercing eyes; the same sinewy, monkey-like frame. But there all resemblance stopped, and as we drew closer, Jamie gallantly clearing a path for me through the mob with elbows and shoulders, I could see the differences as well. Jared’s face was oblong, rather than hatchet-shaped, with a cheerful snub nose that effectively ruined the dignified air conferred at a distance by his excellent tailoring and upright carriage.

A successful merchant rather than a cattle-raider, he also knew how to smile—unlike Murtagh, whose natural expression was one of unrelieved dourness—and a broad grin of welcome broke out on his face as we were jostled and shoved up the ramp into his presence.

“My dear!” he exclaimed, clutching me by the arm and yanking me deftly out of the way of two burly stevedores rolling a gigantic cask through the huge door. “So pleased to see you at last!” The cask bumped noisily on the boards of the ramp, and I could hear the rolling slosh of its contents as it passed me.

“You can treat rum like that,” Jared observed, watching the ungainly progress of the enormous barrel through the obstructions of the warehouse, “but not port. I always fetch that up myself, along with the bottled wines. In fact, I was just setting off to see to a new shipment of Belle Rouge port. Would you perhaps be interested in accompanying me?”

I glanced at Jamie, who nodded, and we set off at once in Jared’s wake, sidestepping the rumbling traffic of casks and hogsheads, carts and barrows, and men and boys of all descriptions carrying bolts of fabric, boxes of grain and foodstuffs, rolls of hammered copper, sacks of flour, and anything else that could be transported by ship.

Le Havre was an important center of shipping traffic, and the docks were the heart of the city. A long, solid wharf ran nearly a quarter-mile round the edge of the harbor, with smaller docks protruding from it, along which were anchored three-masted barks and brigantines, dories and small galleys; a full range of the ships that provisioned France.

Jamie kept a firm hold on my elbow, the better to yank me out of the way of oncoming handcarts, rolling casks, and careless merchants and seamen, who were inclined not to look where they were going but rather to depend on sheer momentum to see them through the scrum of the docks.

As we made our way down the quay, Jared shouted genteelly into my ear on the other side, pointing out objects of interest as we passed, and explaining the history and ownership of the various ships in a staccato, disjointed manner. The Arianna, which we were on our way to see, was in fact one of Jared’s own ships. Ships, I gathered, might belong to a single owner, more often to a company of merchants who owned them collectively, or, occasionally, to a captain who contracted his vessel, crew, and services for a voyage. Seeing the number of company-owned vessels, compared to the relatively few owned by individuals, I began to form a very respectful idea of Jared’s worth.

The Arianna was in the middle of the anchored row, near a large warehouse with the name FRASER painted on it in sloping, whitewashed letters. Seeing the name gave me an odd little thrill, a sudden feeling of alliance and belonging, with the realization that I shared that name, and with it, an acknowledged kinship with those who bore it.

The Arianna was a three-masted ship, perhaps sixty feet long, with a wide bow. There were two cannon on the side of the ship that faced the dock; in case of robbery on the high seas, I supposed. Men were swarming all over the deck with what I assumed was some purpose, though it looked like nothing so much as an ant’s nest under attack.

All sails were reefed and tied, but the rising tide shifted the vessel slightly, swinging the bowsprit toward us. It was decorated with a rather grim-visaged figurehead; with her formidable bare bosom and tangled curls all spangled with salt, the lady looked as though she didn’t enjoy sea air all that much.

“Sweet little beauty, is she not?” Jared asked, waving a hand expansively. I assumed he meant the ship, not the figurehead.

“Verra nice,” said Jamie politely. I caught his uneasy glance at the boat’s waterline, where the small waves lapped dark gray against the hull. I could see that he was hoping we would not be obliged to go on board. A gallant warrior, brilliant, bold, and courageous in battle, Jamie Fraser was also a landlubber.

Definitely not one of the hardy, seafaring Scots who hunted whales from Tarwathie or voyaged the world in search of wealth, he suffered from a seasickness so acute that our journey across the Channel in December had nearly killed him, weakened as he then was by the effects of torture and imprisonment. And while yesterday’s drinking orgy with Jared wasn’t in the same league, it wasn’t likely to have made him any more seaworthy.

I could see dark memories crossing his face as he listened to his cousin extolling the sturdiness and speed of the Arianna, and drew near enough to whisper to him.

“Surely not while it’s at anchor?”

“I don’t know, Sassenach,” he replied, with a look at the ship in which loathing and resignation were nicely mingled. “But I suppose we’ll find out.” Jared was already halfway up the gangplank, greeting the captain with loud cries of welcome. “If I turn green, can ye pretend to faint or something? It will make a poor impression if I vomit on Jared’s shoes.”

I patted his arm reassuringly. “Don’t worry. I have faith in you.”

“It isna me,” he said, with a last, lingering glance at terra firma, “it’s my stomach.”

In this one young criminals get their mind wiped so they get a "second chance" at life, but the catch is they are stuck with an Apple Watch that makes them pass out or die if they get upset.

Unfortunately they air at 9AM for me, so I catch them online once I have the time. I woke up to watch the finale last season live though just so I could live tweet my reaction along with everyone else!

How often do you rewatch it?

I was on my second rewatch but I sort of forgot where I stopped so I’m definitely going to have to rewatch it one last time before S8. But there are certain episodes I’ve rewatched like four times, namely the final two of Season 6 because I was between flights a lot that year and they had those two showing. I love love love those episodes.

Do you rewatch the previous episode before the next one airs?

Nope! Not unless I plan to really absorb what happened for meta purposes.

One character that everyone seems to like that you don’t care much for:

Tyrion Lannister, I’ve dated someone like him and it put a sour taste in my mouth. Since I watched before I read, I admired him as much as anybody but after meeting him in the books I’ve since been disillusioned. Daenerys too, for obvious reasons that I’m sure I’ve made clear.

Your 3 favorite pairings:

Jonsa

Gendrya - I know people think they’re just a cute shippy pair, I did too but there’s more substance there than people give credit for.

Robb x Sansa - this is crack but I am a sucker for pre-asoiaf works on this pairing. Sansa grew up believing in knights and gallant men of valour because she had Ned and Robb to look to and it  k i l l s  me. There’s not much platonic works out there on this pairing but I don’t mind either way. Anything to fuel my Robb x Sansa depression hours are great lol. We love crack.

also Ned x Cat because it’s practically the only healthy ship we’ve seen on screen.

Favorite scene:

A tie between the Jon x Sansa reunion glomp, Sansa riding in with the KoTV when all hope was lost, and the forehead kiss. BUT, I very much love the entire wildfire sequence during Cersei’s prosecution, the music and cinematography is amazing! Sam seeing the Citadel library with Maester playing in the background was stunning too. Basically, the final two episodes of season 6 were packed with well-shot scenes, no thanks to Miguel Sapochnik. (I really couldn’t choose just one huh)

One character you wish got more appreciation:

Sansa Stark. I don’t blame people, when she’s first introduced to us there’s this bias because we’re seeing her through Arya’s eyes and we all know how Arya views her. But throughout the series I’ve had enough of people complaining that she’s done nothing, and yet come season 6 and 7 once she’s really standing up for herself and making decisions she thinks are right - people call her bratty and “out for herself” like can you give her a break?

Also as much as I adore her on the show, and agree that had she been put through the Ramsay plot, it’s only natural she come to this progression: I very much wish people would have a read of her POV chapters. She’s not some “cold” power hungry bitch, she’s never been and never will be. Sansa’s a sweet young girl that got caught up in everything and yet despite it all, she’s still going. I admire her a lot and hope she survives and proves important to the endgame so all the disgusting victim blaming misogynistic haters can suck it once and for all.

Fanfic or nah?

I fuck with that. I’m still waiting on my AO3 account tho wyd AO3 lemme in I’m finna spread love to all the fanfic writers.

Favorite quote:

lol one quote? here are a few:

“Power resides where men believe it resides… It’s a trick, a shadow on the wall.” - Varys.

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” - Jojen Reed.

”We look up at the same stars and see such different things.” - Jon Snow.

“Their dreams were full of songs and stories, the way hers had been before Joffrey cut her father’s head off. Sansa pitied them. Sansa envied them.” - Sansa Stark.

”When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.” - Tyrion Lannister.

“Words are like arrows, Arianne. Once loosed, you cannot call them back.” - Doran Martell.

Do you avoid spoilers?

Depends. If it’s brought to the Jonsa community for speculation then I consider giving it a look, otherwise I stay clear of YouTube suggestions because they’re always so... final? It’s like “Jon Snow’s death CONFIRMED,” or “BLACK WEDDING S8 CONFIRMED,” like shut up lol. Also the reddit script leaks... I don’t know? Sometimes they just seem completely like fanfiction, and not the good kind.

Favorite house words:

“Growing Strong.” - House Tyrell. It’s flowery, easy to be overlooked and underestimated and yet even roses have their thorns. Scheming, but with grace. Not allowing themselves to appear threatening so that they may make friends, and yet all together, the very words of “Growing Strong” alludes to a growing threat.

One character you’d bring back from the dead:

Robb Stark, definitely. He’s a powerful military man, he showed promise as a ruler and he’s not a total dolt. I remember reading somewhere that George had to kill him off because he wouldn’t have fit into the natural progression of the story, he’s made him too invincible. And look how many factors had to come to play to bring the Young Wolf down. He’d be a valuable asset, though that would mean sacrificing Jonsa. But I love him so <3

One character you’d kill, or kill sooner than they were killed:

Daenerys Targaryen, but even I understand she has a part to play in all of this as they all do so there’s really no point in this. It’d only disrupt the plot and I wouldn’t have it any other way(than what GRRM intended, not D&D).

Direwolves or dragons?

Direwolves, they’re loyal. Dragons can’t be tamed and are a threat.

Which was more satisfying: Ramsay dying or Joffrey dying?

Ramsay. They gave a satisfying wrap up by Sansa’s hands. Each punch Jon gave him felt so good too.

Wildlings or the dothraki?

Wildlings, but only because they follow no king and I can respect that. Their way of life, seeing each individual as a free man - I fuck with that.

Favorite Lannister?

Jaime, definitely. I quite like his chapters. He’s never been the quickest and I truly hate whenever that’s been used to snub him. I’ve heard it been said he can be considered as Jon’s foil, and I agree(actually I’d go as far as to compare him to Sansa’s romanticised ideas of the world, though Jon is the better fit in this case). They both started out naive, and Jaime never struck me as innately cruel. For instance, he thought he was being honoured by King Aerys with a white cloak only to later find out that it was to snub his father and rip him of his heir. He believed Cersei truly loved him, only to realise that’s not the case(Cersei’s infatuation with him is a tale of Narcisus falling in love with his own reflection, or rather what Cersei wishes she was). He saved the city, only for people to dub him “Kingslayer.” His tale thus far has been tragic, and out of all the three Lannister siblings, I think he’s most worthy of a redemption arc especially considering how Tyrion is headed to a darker path and Cersei is, well, Cersei. He’s quite the anti-hero. 

To be completely honest I’m not sure I read his arc as a “redemption story” either, it’s more like finally getting a POV for us to better understand how he came to be so jaded.

And me, that boy I was... when did he die, I wonder? When I donned the white cloak? When I opened Aerys’s throat? That boy had wanted to be Ser Arthur Dayne, but someplace along the way he had become the Smiling Knight instead.

- Jaime, ASOS.

His chapters to me, serve to humanise him, and I’ve decided I like Jaime Lannister.

Favorite stark?

Sansa, obviously, but I admired Robb and will always weep at how we lost him too soon, a boy who showed so much promise. Also, Bran is my baby boy and I love him dearly.

Would you rather be able to be resurrected anytime, but gain scars and all like Beric, or become a faceless man?

If I had to choose, I suppose resurrection though I don’t think I’d be fond of it at all. I don’t fuck with the faceless men because I don’t fuck with this idea of living life in servitude. I suppose we all do, but I’d hate for it to be that direct.

Would you rather have the rebellion tv show or the conquest tv show?

You’re asking me to choose between seeing the younger versions of Ned’s generation on screen vs. more Targaryen propaganda? Robert’s rebellion, anytime.

Ex-Barcelona Brazil superstar Ronaldinho Going to jail a tough blow

Ex-Barcelona and Brazil star Ronaldinho said he is still coming to grips with his arrest and time spent behind bars after entering Paraguay with false identification documents.

– Stream new episodes of ESPN FC Monday-Friday on ESPN+ – Stream every episode of 30 for 30: Soccer Stories on ESPN+

Ronaldinho and his brother and manager, Roberto, spent 32 days in a Paraguay jail before being allowed on April 9 to move to a four-star hotel in Asuncion under police custody.

The two are awaiting trial, with a date having yet to be set due to delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

• McTominay snubbed loan to fight for Utd • Ronaldinho: Going to jail was a tough blow • Fernandino: Daughter, 3, helps me train • Sources: Ozil, Arsenal stars return to work • Montpellier player out of coma, recovering • Lingard admits to setbacks at Man Utd • Serie A clubs can start training on May 18

Ronaldinho has given his first interview since the arrest to Paraguay’s ABC TV’s “Crime and Punishment,” a show that will air on Monday.

“[Going to jail] was a tough blow,” Ronaldinho, 40, said in the interview. “I never imagined that I would go through a situation like this.

“All of my life I have searched to reach the top level professionally and to bring joy with my football.

“I hope that they can use and confirm all that we have brought to this case and that we can come out of this situation as soon as possible.”

Ronaldinho said in the show that he travelled to Paraguay to take part in the launch of an online casino and in the unveiling of a book, “Craque da Vida.”

He and his brother entered the country on March 4 with false Paraguay passports that had been given to them as a gift.

“We were completely surprised to find out that the documents were not legal,” Ronaldinho said. “Since then, our aim has been to cooperate with the justice [department] in order to clarify the facts as we have done from the beginning. Since that time up to now, we have explained everything and facilitated all that the justice [department] has requested.”

Dan Thomas is joined by Craig Burley, Shaka Hislop and a host of other guests every day as football plots a path through the coronavirus crisis. Stream on ESPN+ (U.S. only).

Ronaldinho, who is staying in a luxury suite at the Palmaroga hotel, has thanked the Paraguayan people for their hospitality but said he is desperate to go home.

“The first thing I will do is to give my mother a big kiss,” he said. “She is at home going through a difficult time since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

“Then to absorb the impact that this situation has had and move forward with faith and strength.”

While in jail, Ronaldinho was seen playing sports and having photos taken with guards.

“To play football, sign autographs, have photographs taken is part of my life,” he said. “I have no reason to stop doing it, more so with people that are going through a difficult time as I am.”

Jordan Lake Cited in “Stranger Things” 3.4 “Sauna Test” vs. “Parks and Recreation” 7.12 “One Last Ride” Finale

I had to break my promise about never tagging Jordan on Instagram. After I finished watching “Stranger Things” Season 3 Episode 4 “Sauna Test” about Jordan Lake, I had to tag her in that.

It’s really hard. You try to respect people’s space, but then you have these bigger problems.

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD RESEARCH

Due to the limited amount of space for writing a description, I had to drop a lot of stuff.

One of the things was my research on the Electromagnetic Field as a Communication System and why Jordan Lake has that Electromagnetic Field Machine.

When you align the information about Jordan tied to me with my bio, you see how Earth’s Electromagnetic Field functions as a Social Media Platform. So the Subconscious Minds of the Script Writers were putting stuff into the script about Jordan.

When you see elements of my personal life and family tree sewn into the show “Stranger Things,” you see how influential Jordan and I are.

I didn’t have room to mention how I’m Rod of Washington who aligns with 1959 “Twilight Zone” host Rod Serling while Jordan aligns with 2019 host Jordan Peele. “Twilight” films set in Washington State where I’m from lock the information down.

I skipped mentioning it since I’ve said about it in other Instagram posts.

DISCLAIMER THAT IT’S PURELY COINCIDENCE

TV Shows and Films use this blanket disclaimer saying that any matching people or places are purely coincidental.

That normally works for Non-Psychic Television Shows and Movies. However, because “Stranger Things” is a Psychic TV Show, you expect weird Psychic Phenomenon.

So you can’t hide behind that excuse.

I personally like the show and I’m not interested in Royalties or suing them for anything.

I’m sick of people suing each other.

I’ve worked on the set in Hollywood and know how hard the film crew works. There are so many TV Shows and Movies about me. I don’t see why I should dip into their paychecks just to get money.

I would just like to be treated with more respect and recognition where people don’t look down upon me for working in the Psychic Field.

When you see how many people love “Stranger Things,” it just sucks when people snub you or look down on you yet love that show that is about you.

CORONAVIRUS CREATING URGENCY

The Coronavirus outbreak hitting the United States where it was first spotted in Washington State where I’m from and then California and Texas for where I currently live in California and Jordan is in Texas is a big deal.

I said that I’m 1/8 Chinese and from Washington State where I drove a 1977 Toyota Corona in high school. That mirrors the Coronavirus spawning from China and targeting Washington State.

This ties to the Simulation Hypothesis by Nick Bostrom. Rizwan Virk wrote a book about it. We’re living in a computer simulation.

There wasn’t enough room to talk about the Coronavirus in more detail. The 2010 Disney film “Tangled” is where the father was the King of CORONA. He would release (Hal JORDAN Green) LANTERNs every year on the birthday of the lost daughter.

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY AND BLAKE’S BIRTHDAY

This was also the one year anniversary of Jordan’s ex Blake and when I tried to meet up with Jordan in California.

Time sure flies. It never occurred to me that Jordan would be gone one year later.

Although I’ve kind of known about abandonment as a natural part of working in the Psychic Field.

Jordan used to ask me why I would take Screenshots of every little thing she posted on Snapchat.

Aside from the habit of being like a UFO Chaser where you never know when you’ll spot a UFO, it’s the same where you never know when you’ll run across a Psychic Manifestation.

It’s also a habit from seeing people move in and out of your life quickly. It’s just natural where people leave you when you work in the Psychic Field.

Jordan was one of my favorites as well as an adopted daughter. Life is so fleeting. I already experienced it with my best friend Scott. We were friends for 23 years and then suddenly he was gone.

Jordan told me that her ex Blake was born 1/25. So today as 1/25 of 2020 marks that year. It mirrors Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan who met his wife Blake Lively.

PARKS AND RECREATION

I never watched “Parks and Recreation.” So when I uncovered that the 7.12 Finale makes mention of Craig and “Rod,” I had to hop onto Netflix and see it.

Donna goes to Seattle, Washington. Chris Pratt with actress Aubrey Plaza go to Washington, D.C. I didn’t have room to make mention that Jordan’s friend is named Aubrey.

I suspect that Jordan’s friend Aubrey was put there to point to Jordan’s link to Parks and Recreation.

Craig Middlebrooks having the name “Jordan Craig” sewn into it was really moving for me.

I really didn’t think that Jordan would want to take over my job after we left. However, that finale in 2015 shows that some part of Jordan did. Whether it was the Conscious Mind of Jordan returning or the Subconscious Mind of Jordan as MacKenzie Craig Donald who managed the position after I passed away.

The story of Garry who everyone called Jerry and got his name wrong showed Christie Brinkley as the wife when he died. Christie Brinkley was born 2/2 when Dallas became incorporated.

Christie Brinkley’s daughter Alexa Joel is born 12/29 as Texas Statehood. Jordan is in Texas. It’s hinting that Jordan is Christie Brinkley as Dallas, Texas and Garry was a version of me.

Just as people didn’t get Garry’s name correct, people don’t get my name right either. I get mistaken for “Rob” instead of “Rod.”

You even see it with Jordan who called me by name “Psych.” She never called me by my name Rod.

I’m not saying I’m sad about that. It just kind of shows how sad it was where I do a really important job and people can’t even get my name right.

I was a forgettable person in most people’s eyes. People thought I was not very important.

TYPHOON MONTALBAN MARRYING CRAIG MIDDLEBROOKS

I’m still debating on whether I will post a “Parks and Recreation” Instagram. If I do, I don’t feel a need to tag Jordan in that. I already said my peace.

“Stranger Things” was just a really major piece of information that Jordan really needs to have. That TV Show has impacted American society and Jordan really does need to know.

I just can’t wait around till Jordan’s ready to hear it. I’ve got things to do and I just wait indefinitely till Jordan’s in a good mood or feelings like hearing what I have to say.

When there’s a disease outbreak threatening the country, I really don’t have the time to wait till Jordan’s ready.

In the 7.12 Finale “One Last Ride,” Typhoon and Craig are really old and Typhoon asks if Craig has any regrets.

If you read the description on the character Typhoon, it mentions that Craig didn’t love Typhoon (Rod) as much as Typhoon loved Craig.

Although, it’s a sad Truth, it’s one way to prove that the characters Typhoon and Craig really were talking about “Rod” and “Jordan Craig.”

Jordan gets mistaken for a guy. So Craig Middlebrooks being male would be Jordan and that’s why it was a gay wedding.

However, there is one interpretation where if Jordan is female, then a male Craig not as affection would be the same as a female Craig who is affectionate.

I try not to read too much into it. All I know is that 7.12 “One Last Ride” that aired 2/24 of 2015 was 3 years before I met Jordan 9/27 of 2018. That was talking about is.

It was just nice seeing that ending. The other version is that Garry married “Dallas” and lived a long life with Christie Brinkley as Dallas and fathered many children and grandchildren with her when he died at the age of 100.

That’s not to say that would ever come true with Jordan, but it’s nice just seeing that was put in the TV Show “Parks and Recreation.”

JORDAN NOT BEING TREATED WELL

I just really hope that Jordan will someday run across “Stranger Things” 3.4 talking about Jordan Lake and that light bulb will go off in her head where she’ll realize, “OMG, everything Rod ever tried to tell me is true.”

I just hope that as Jordan gets older, she’ll take pride in knowing she was remembered in the TV Show “Stranger Things” and “Parks and Recreation.”

People try to get attention with Likes and Follows on Instagram. They get thousands of followers. However, the number of Followers on Instagram and Twitter doesn’t determine your value and self-worth.

I only have 30 Followers, but that is not a reflection of my self-worth. When people realize that I influence TV and Film, it shows that I am prominent well known. That may not be reflected in my Instagram, but what matters is what Subconscious Minds and Planet Earth think about you.

Subconscious Minds and Earth can read your mind and everyone else’s minds. So they know who’s genuine and sincere. They know who’s lying.

Having a lot of Followers on Instagram doesn’t necessarily reflect your personality, integrity, and character as a person. Some of those followers are just bots and not real people.

I just hope that people will treat Jordan better when they realize who she was in the Entertainment Industry.

People can have Follows and Likes on Instagram, but Jordan will still live on “Parks and Recreation” and “Stranger Things” long after all those other people on Instagram are gone and no one ever remembers them.

APEC SUMMIT ON BLAKE ISLAND 11/20 OF 1993

I was talking to my stepdad and he was reminding me about the APEC Summit on Blake Island 11/20 of 1993. That was my first year as a Freshman in college at the University of Washington.

I bet the Subconscious Mind of my stepdad knew I was going to be talking about Jordan in an Instagram post and that her ex was named Blake.

I had said months ago that I don’t know who Blake is, but I felt really bad for him when Jordan told me that his parents forced him to break up with her because they thought they were too young.

Jordan said that the mother Krystal ran into her at the Southlake Mall in Texas and she started crying and ran out the door. It just sounds to me that Blake punished his parents for calling it off with Jordan.

I can relate because I’ve always had a dominant mother. I said one of my biggest regrets was that I was on the phone with Jordan and my mom walked in. My mom didn’t see that I had a headset and didn’t know I was talking on the phone.

Jordan could hear my mom talking and said “Hi, mom.”

I just kept talking to my mom ignoring Jordan not wanting to tip my mom off about Jordan and have to explain who Jordan is.

It’s because I didn’t want to get in that conversation with my mom where if it turned out that she disapproved of Jordan, I didn’t want to hear it or receive that criticism.

To hear that your parent disapproves of someone you talk can really get you down.

That’s why when I asked Jordan why she was acting differently and she said that her mom thought I was overbearing, I sensed that was going to be a problem.

It’s hard when your family doesn’t approve of who you date or who you hang out with. It just puts a damper on things.

Jordan says that she came to the decision on her own about cutting ties with me, but she’s a lot like me. I just feel that her mother had some influence.

I even said it’s hinted in the James Bond film “Skyfall.”

JORDAN’S INFLUENCE IN ENTERTAINMENT

While Jordan’s mother may have been just looking out for Jordan and trying to keep her safe, it still affected Jordan regarding her inheritance.

Although, I said that was staged and already predicted. It was seen through Paris Hilton born 2/17 meaning the name Jordan. Paris is in Dallas and her mother Kathy Hilton is born 3/13 like Jordan.

Paris Hilton was to be married 11/11 of 2018 on Washington Statehood to Chris Zylka. I’m from Washington State. The parents refusing to meet with Chris Zylka and attend the wedding put a huge damper on the relationship and Paris called it off.

Paris Hilton with her Dallas 3/13 tags calling off a Washington Symbol Wedding symbolizes Jordan in Dallas born 3/13 who cut ties with me.

It’s showing how public our “break-up” was. Jordan and I weren’t dating but we had a “business relationship” that was broadcast. Subconscious Minds worldwide were watching us.

WHEN SOMEONE IS UNHAPPY AROUND YOU

Jordan may think I wanted to get back together with her and hang out, but I’ve learned over the years that even if someone makes you happy, you don’t want to be around someone who feels like they’re in a prison.

When someone is unhappy and doesn’t want to spend time with you and can hardly wait to get away from you, that’s not a very healthy relationship.

Although, I would just say that while Jordan may not have liked hanging out with me, I was doing work helping the Planet as a Good Samaritan. It’s where it’s a lonely job.

While people can say they don’t feel like doing this or that because it’s not fun for them, my job was emotionally draining and it would’ve been nice to have someone you could talk to, tell your troubles to, or even just lay your head on their shoulder.

Jordan is born 3/13 like Lois Lane actress Dana Delany as Jordan Shaw.

Imagine if Lois Lane just didn’t feel like being with Superman because he was boring or not fun to be around.

While it may be true Superman was a boring individual, he spent most of his day helping people and saving lives. He was doing a public service and it took a lot out of him emotionally.

It’s nice to have someone like Lois Lane to come home to.

But Superman is who he is. He could never in good conscience keep Lois Lane with him if she was miserable being with him.

It’s painful watching someone you love miserable and where you don’t give them joy when they’re with you in the same way they bring you joy.

If Lois Lane was unhappy, Superman would let her go. Even if it was written in the stars that they were supposed to be together and had an arranged marriage. Superman would let Lois leave and wouldn’t hold her back.

INSTAGRAM “STRANGER THINGS” 3.4 JORDAN LAKE

Screenshot of @strangerthingstv 3.4 at 28 minute mark. #WinonaRyder uncovers the #Electromagnetic Field is around JORDAN Lake. The show is about a real Psychic and a real place.

I met @jordanecraig 9/27 of 2018 before Season 3 7/4 of 2019. If I met #jordanecraig after Season 3 citing Jordan Lake, skeptics would argue I sought out someone named Jordan.

Finale @nbcparksandrec 7.12 aired 2/24 of 2015 before #StrangerThings pointing to the Twin Earthquakes 7/12 of 2019 in WA and CA. I'm ROD from WA now in CA.

CRAIG Middlebrooks meets and marries TYPHOON Montalban played by RODney To. Typhoon is a natural disaster. Earthquake when "Stranger Things" aired 7/4/2019 and 7/12 of 2019 are natural disasters.

BROOK is a RIVER and JORDAN is a RIVER. It says CRAIG MiddleBROOKs (Craig/River Jordan) took over the Parks and Rec Department symbolizing prophecy Jordan did take over my job in the future.

I'm 1980s Generation X Psychic born 5/29 of 1975 whose parent drove a 1983 Green Pinto. Grimshaw vs Ford Motor Company Lawsuit was 5/29 of 1981.

School scenes were filmed at Patrick Henry High School. Patrick Henry was born 5/29.

#ParksAndRecreation Pawnee, Indiana and "Stranger Things" Hawkins, Indiana are the same fictional city.

2002 State Quarter is Indiana. Jordan Craig is born 3/13 in Pisces as a Water Sign. #KristySwanson as "J. Craig" in 2002 film "Silence" as #BuffyTheVampireSlayer had the last name SWANSON for Ron SWANSON in "Parks and Rec." This info validates her because she manifests in "Parks and Recreation" and "Stranger Things." Jordan may serve as mediator settling disputes between world leaders who may try to talk down to Jordan because they don't want a young female half their age telling them what to do. This ties to #NickBostrom and book #SimulationHypothesis by #RizwanVirk about being in a computer simulation.

CHINA's CORONA virus outbreak hitting WA 1st followed by CA and TX is creating urgency. I'm 1/8 CHINESE who drove 1977 Toyota CORONA in WA and now in CA. Jordan is in TEXAS.

When diseases like the #Coronavirus threaten the population, you can't afford to be as picky about solutions.
