#chekhov liveblogs

[thechekhov]

I found your blog yesterday cause of the Dungeon Meshi reactions and I was curious. Have you done any other reactions like that? Or was this the first time? Cause they were fun to read

Yes, actually. I started doing these types of liveblogs for Critical Role stuff. I had a Critical Role Campaign 2 liveblog that really became regular halfway through...

I also did the other one-shots CR has done.

I also did this with Nona the Ninth, the third book in the Locked Tomb Trilogy.

#chekhov reads TLT

I also.................and don't tell anyone this. I have had this in my drafts since. August..............

I won't tell you how many chapters I actually do have finished. I decided to hold off on posting it because I wanted to get through Dungeon Meshi first. But now it's just been sitting there. Waiting for the light of day. (I'm not very far in, to be clear, but I have quite a few liveblogs already written.)

The issue with liveblogging stuff is that even though I love doing it, it takes me SO LONG. I literally have to dedicate an hour each week to reading and commenting instead of simply gnawing my way through media in my spare time. So although I naturally want to share my thoughts, the entire thing becomes kind of like another job.

I still want to do it, because it's fun for everyone, but unfortunately it's not a painless task. 😅

SLIME ASKED FOOLISH TO MARRY HIM AND FOOLISH PULLED OUT HIS GLOCK AND SHOT HIM INSTANTLY

[indiiglow]

Also I feel like we don't talk about the gun scene enough. House gets outsmarted and uses tricks to convince Wilson the gun isn't real as a last resort but he still uses sleight of hand to not load the bullet because he isn't 100% sure that Wilson wouldn't shoot him. Gay sex isn't this gay

Is this woman really throwing away diamond rings?! In the literal heading-to-the-dump trash? Here's hoping her sister saves them.

CR3 Quick Reacts - EP39

[potterandpromises]

OMITB 3x07 (THE THEO EPISODE) liveblog:

Was not expecting a new scene with Bunny of all things.

Uma kleptomaniac arc (this is like, the first thing we’ve really learned about her and it’s been three seasons.)

Uma trying to bond with Charles by joking-but-not-really about him murdering Bunny.

Theo now? Theo now!

I find it a tad unbelievable that Mabel didn’t know the sign for murder. It’s immediately forgiven though. (It was a decent way to establish their dynamic and her level of ASL.)

Theo telling Mabel that no one was closer to Ben then Ben’s brother when he likely doesn't even know he has a brother.

It’s fascinating to me that Mabel thought Theo might know Dickie.

I’m sorry, did Clif say, “goddamn mother.”

Charles and the replacement charleses.

I think that’s the first Gut Milk mention all season. They now come in blue raspberry, apparently.

I like how the writers were thinking up ways to bring Theo into the storyline and were like, what if he's just a giant fucking nerd?

(Also I watched that nose boop like twenty times when I prewatched One Killer Question on mute for the Crumbs.)

I really love the scene where Theo is feeding Mabel lines about CoBro 2.

That’s right Charles, close that window. Nothing good ever came from listening to music through your window.

I am not the target audience for Oliver's theater storyline. Bring me chekhov's heart attack.

Dickie adoption confirmation (also I like Dickie so far, he seems like a good guy.)

Um, is that ‘moron’ Theo spending daddy’s money?

Theo’s so attuned to Mabel oh my goooodddd.

Overall, I like Mabel and Theo’s updated dynamic. I like how they try and how their communication isn’t perfect.

Bloody Mabel podcast? Absolutely not. I feel like this just shows how wrong Tobert is for Mabel.

I pondered how the Tobert + Theo introduction would go. I knew he would know Theo from the podcast. I could’ve never guessed he would be a literal fan.

(Also how Tobert said he: “picked up on..”)

Unexpected sexual tension.

I can’t help but notice that this episode takes place in the building 👍

Charles and Oliver reunion via horse metaphor <3

Charles and Oliver drinking gut milk like it’s the good old days.

The podcast is back baby.

I’m so looking forward to more of whatever Theo-Mabel-Tobert have going on. I didn’t expect that alliance to last more then an episode.

Oh, so Dickie brought the hankie. Kind of sad (or suspicious? if he was hiding his identity) that Uma didn’t even realize Dickie was Ben’s brother.

Attempts to capitalize on bloody Mabel have not exactly gone over well before…

Bonus aftershow liveblog:

“There’s a different kind of intimacy, a different kind of home, when she’s with Theo.” Catch me screaming about this.

Okay, all this stuff about growth and his comment about Tobert and shedding labels. They are implying that Theo is queer, right?

This spin the wheel game has taken a sad turn…

But also the idea that Will is both Oliver and Teddy’s son and Theo is somehow also both Teddy and Oliver's son.

sorry I promise I'll stop liveblogging every moment but they really chekhovs gunned that axe really hard huh.

Liveblogging the doccy whom finale

So is this all being broadcast live?

A small child with machine guns, that seems reckless

How many times does "shoot the problem" actually help in UNIT anyway? Never? Don't they have any other ideas?

Noooo not the Vlinx!

Wow did we just watch that child turn to dust? That's dark.

So Kate is dead now too... I will be surprised if this isn't undone by the end.

Yeah definitely now that everyone is dying

Hello Mrs Flood. Whatcha doing. Okay. I don't think she's a good guy. Meddling Monk maybe since she mentioned prayer? 🤔 Well she's dust now but when this is undone she'll be back to harass Cherry again

Thanos be like...

And we have memory TARDIS

Sup Sutekh... How's things?

Sarah Jane jumpscare

He's been on the TARDIS for HOW long?

So is that what turned his eyes from green to red or...

The Finetime Susan doesn't have much work to do to kill everyone...

"Why is the god of death not killing me" is it because he's the god of life? Is that the culmination of the timeless child stuff? Hmm

Well that's lucky. They got a third free TARDIS.

Melanie B... That's a Spice Girl innit

Oh yeah you maybe should tell Ruby that everybody she knows is dead

Perception filter field of 73 yards.....??? Whattt

Oop the dust hit the east coast of Australia. I guess that makes me dead now.

"Nothing I can do" well there must be something bro because we won't have a show

He mentioned 1066, Monk reference?? Mrs Flood Monk confirmed 😝

He used a switch to close the doors, haven't seen that in a while

So Sutekh has been creating Susans everywhere the Doctor goes, ever since Pyramids of Mars? Sheesh. That's a lot of Susan Twists

Literally screaming into the void

Okay so Ruby has something to do with the Doctor's survival?

Who's this lady? I thought everybody died?

Oh don't tell me this random baby is Ruby

Okay the baby is dead. nm

13's TARDIS interior is like a little campfire aww

Ruby's mother is so mysterious that even Sutekh needs the answer? lmao

Oh heya mad jack

Chekhov's whistle? Okie dokie. We'll be hearing you later I guess

Poor Mel

Aww. Ruby's taking Sutekh for walkies

Whistle TARDIS controls? Okay sure why not

Come on boy, time to go to the v-e-t

Undo button. Ummm okay I don't get it but this was bound to happen somehow

Dead baby is alive again. Good good

Can god create a rope even he can't break? Apparently yes

Who'd have thought a god could be defeated by a leash

Yeah he's the god of life. Basically.

Okay but what's to stop him from grabbing the TARDIS again some time? 🤔

Susan Triad is still there lol!

So after all that, Sutekh kept them alive to find out Ruby's mother was some random nurse LOL

Doctor just let her meet her mother jeez. Wouldn't you want to meet yours

Okay but none of this explains the 4th wall breaking

Well that was fun. But having something happen at the beginning that you know is going to get undone does kind of take the wind out of its sails. Still, I liked it.

[gillianthecat]

I never expected to be so invested in the fate of a diamond ring lol

It seems unlikely to me the store wouldn't accept returns on diamond jewelry—I mean their historical purpose had been wearable/tradable wealth, there is nothing easier to turn around and resell—but it is Plot Convenient for Su Hyeok to be forced to hold onto Chekhov's diamond ring, so I will not object.

(I did go so far as to look up Tiffany's return policy, which does not forbid the return of diamonds, but I suspect this is instead a "Biffany's" with a slightly different shade of blue-green and so will of course have different rules 😁)
