Time to go home 💔 And say: Goodbye

🎶"No man is an island, this I know But can't you see oh? Maybe you were the ocean When I was just a stone No man is an island, this I know But can't you see oh? Maybe you were the ocean When I was just a stone

So here we are

And I don't wanna beg your pardon And I don't wanna ask you why But if I was to go my own way Would I have to pass you by?"🎼

THAT'S HOW THEY LET SHELLEY RETURN?! OK

[laura-de-milf]

I just know the moment that will break me into a million pieces this season is when Rita finally calls Rouge "Laura".

Not Dogshit MacGivens, not Madame Rouge--a name which was given to her by yet another patriarchal institution that refused to value her work--but her actual human name.

We saw snippets of it at the end of season 3, with Rita almost referring to her as "Laura" to Larry before correcting herself, spitefully, to "Rouge"; we saw her slip in the post-flagellation confrontation scene when Laura flies away and Rita screams after her, "Laura!"

I just know it's going to happen at some point in season 4 and it's going to f u c k i n g break me. 🥲

I don't think Laura realizes how much the Bureau used her as a weapon too, although of a different kind. The psychological mistreatment she recieved was a form of abuse with the means for manipulation.

She was trying to protect the only people she was able to befriend in her life, that cared for her despite having knowledge of her secret. Now, knowing she grew up in shame of her abilities, it's clear why she did everything to not be associated as one of them when the moment came to make a final decision. It was a matter of standing against the ones she loved or risk being found out.

That led to the eventual betrayal not only of the sisterhood but of her real nature, which in turn made her become 'evil' , which was the way she saw herself as all along, ever since she was a child.

I'm sorry for the psychological deep dive. 😅

[🇵🇹]

Penso que a Laura ainda não se apercebeu que o Bureau a usou também, mas como um tipo diferente de arma. O abuso psicológico que ela sofria era uma forma de abuso com o fim de a manipular.

Ela passou a sua vida a proteger as únicas pessoas com quem conseguiu travar uma verdadeira amizade durante a sua vida, que a aceitavam tendo conhecimento do seu segredo. Agora, sabendo que ela cresceu com vergonha de suas habilidades, ficou clara a razão para a qual ela não querer ser associada com o grupo quando chegou o momento de tomar uma decisão final. Era uma questão de ir contra aqueles que mais amava ou correr o risco de ser descoberta.

Isto tudo levou à inevitável traição não só da Sisterhood mas do seu verdadeiro eu, o que em retorno a tornou a 'má da fita' , que na realidade era a forma como ela sempre se viu desde pequena.

Peço desculpa pela análise psicológica. 😅

Y'all, the way they were treating Negative Spirit like Larry's ex who he's very bitter about in the latest episode was sending me, like:

Larry *when he sees them again for the first time in forever* "Oh, God. You."

Larry *immediately calls out to his kid*: Keeg, get back inside, now."

*Negative Spirit tries to go back to the way they always were together before and Larry stops them*

Larry: "No. No, you don't get to do that anymore."

*Negative Spirit looks confused*

Larry: "Oh, you're curious? You wanna know where I'm from? All right. I'm from the future where you abandoned me!"

(...)

Negative Spirit [about Larry's kid]: "It is from me?"

Larry: "Yeah, that's right. It's our... It's our Keeg."

(...)

Larry *when Negative Spirit says no to taking care of their kid when Larry no longer can and then says sorry*: "You're sorry? I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm on a mission to save Rita, and I'm throwing it away to ask you for help saving our child. And you're sorry? Do you have any idea what you've done? I wasn't mad at you because you left. It's because you gave me a second chance at fatherhood and it's been beautiful. But now, it's the most painful thing I've experienced, because it's all for naught. I'm f*cking dying, and I can't take care of my child!"

Doom patrol "Portal patrol"

[leatherjacketsupervillain]

Re-watching season 4 before the new episode, and they really abuse the shit out of that yellow filter, huh?

[child-of-the-danube]

Ok, I need to preface this with saying that I have not read any of the Doom Patrol comics so I have no idea how well or in what quantity the show follows the comics so I have no concpet of spoilers/certainty as to how it will all end after next episode.

This is gonna be a long ass post so buckle up motherfuckers.

I am thoroughly worried with how it will all be wrapped up in a single episode. They have not gotten their longevity back, Immortus is still out there now planning world domination, Rita's basically dead, the Buttpocalypse future is on their doorstep etc. Either it will be all to quickly concluded with a Deus-ex-machina solution to everything given that Laura in one episode said that the future they saw was only one possible version of it and in this episode future Vic seemed way too calm finding out that his past self is being helped with the time portal thingy and saying it'll work out OOOOR the future they saw is really it and it's all a lost cause. I'm going to focus on my thoughts about the other one.

I would kind of prefer the sadder ending cause it would be more, I guess, poetic that these people turned mutant-turned superheroes who more than once saved everyone around them, the world and eachother, could not, despite all their effort, save themselves this one last time. Well, except for Vic but depends in what version of it.

Digression: I am also 99% sure the Immortimas episode was the one where Michelle and April kissed (which they mentioned in their insta live) cause if you look closely at the "Best friends" scene when they're really close together but we see Michelle's face more, April has her lips pursed and only switches back to a smile when Michelle moves her head away and I am so very calm and normal about this, not wanting to rip my skin off and scream into the void at all. It's fine, it really is :))))))))))))

I'm skipping talking about Rita since she wasn't in this episode at all. I'm assuming that they will either find her dead or on her last breaths once they return from the time stream unless, again, some magical solution falls from the sky immediately.

LARRY: I think of all the characters, Larry seems to be the one who's most prepared for his death. I feel like he always knew, no matter the longevity, that his body would give up on him at some point and was kind of always ready to go. He worries way more about Keeg than he does about what end is awaiting him. I love that he got to experience fatherhood once again through Keeg and I get his frustration about the Negative spirit not wanting to take care of Keeg, but if his end is set in stone, I could see him embrace the fact that he becomes "a new Sun". His journey started in space and ending it there as a new star would be full circle. In a way by becoming a star, a permanent part of the sky, he'd always be, though in new form, there for Keeg to see and visit.

CLIFF: I was wondering when and if it would be explained how Niles broke his back and I have to say I absolutely hate that it was Cliff given that, especially this season, a lot of shit seems to be portrayed as purely Cliff's fault. Like anything he touches or is given the role to take care off goes to shit. He has always been unlucky in that regard but I feel like the last thing in the "how can we fuck Cliff's already declining mental health up some more" arsenal should have been the fact that the first thing he felt in years wasn't his grandson but the blood and insides of another being he just killed. Like, I truly think that was the tipping point to break him completely, the rest is overkill. I hope if the spirit loop Buttpocalypse future is the end that he at least got to see and feel Clara and Rory once before returning to the Doom Patrol and accepting his end.

JANE: Similar to Larry, I feel like Jane got her resolution this episode. She finally said it out loud and accepted what truly happened to her. She became, both literally and metaphorically one with her whole self and can now be at peace, however long that might be, with the people she loves. She got her clarity in a way.

VIC: Vic being alive, well and teaching kids in the version of the future that saved them from the time stream is giving me hope that it might not all be set up to end tragically. That he might find his purpose and happiness after all. Cause of what use is it for him to be the last man standing in the future when everyone he loves is gone or soon to be gone. It's just survival, not life.

LAURA: Oh, boy. Oh, Lord. Here we go. Bare with me.

It's no secret she's my absolute favourite character and the one I have the most feelings and thoughts about. First of all, hats off to Michelle Gomez and her acting once again. You could feel the difference in past and present Laura not just by the way they are dressed but the mannerism, the speech, the body language, everything. The fear in past Laura's eyes not due to being beaten but due to the fact that she HERSELF is saying, or better, admitting, that she's in fact not a good person no matter how much she tries to delude herself or others. I love this character so deeply and that's why I am losing my mind over her.

Present day Laura saying she hasn't changed broke my heart into a million of peaces cause in the same way past Laura deluded herself into believing she's good, present Laura kept that same self hatred and turned it into convincing herself that no matter how much she tries, she'll never be good, she'll never escape her past, making people weapons or fucking it all up for the ones she truly cares about. For my Doctor Who fans, are you all reliving Missy's plot and the pain her end brought as much as I am???? And the "WE'RE THE FUCKING WEAPON" part??!!?!? Holy fucking shit. Her whole life and career she was hiding her abilities for her own safety and partially for the sisterhood's safety, declaring others as weapons, sending them off to fight and die but it truly was her who was the weapon. When you fire a gun, yes, the bullets are what ends up doing the job but they're disposable, you always need new ones to reload. What remains is the gun itself, needed for further firing of shots. Well, Laura was the gun and all those she branded weapons were just the disposable bullets.

It pains me inexplicably to say it, but I simply don't see any kind of happy ending for her. She has no one else but these bumbling idiots she met only a little while ago, who I'm not entirely sure would YET go to the lenghts she does for them for her, and Rita who:

a. Still hasn't fully forgiven her (I mean shit she called her a monster like 2 episodes ago)

b. Is on her death bed

c. I doubt would use her last breaths to tell her she's forgiven or admit that Laura does mean a lot to her

Nobody knows where she's in the future and I have a crippling feeling that it might be caused by Rita's death. If you think about it, all of them love Rita and will be there to comfort eachother after she's gone/as they inevitabely each go. Laura isn't dying. She has whatever natural time is left there for her still to go. She does not share their fate. And, as I've already said, they have known eachother for decades. Laura is someone they've basically just met, learned to trust even later, and in their mind to some degree the one who caused the Immortus stuff. If Rita dies, I have a feeling she will either immediately distance herself from them (or be distanced) or she'll end up watching all of them but Vic die one by one and then leave or worse...

So unless by some miracle everything turns out fine or after they're all gone she encounters Shelley and the Sisterhood and they embrace her, I see no bright ending there

Anyways, I'm booking therapy in advance cause I'm going to need it after next week more than I already did...

[pinkwormholes]

Unpopular opinion I like Rita's ending. The ending feelt like sometimes people sometimes need to leave each other and that's okay. I see people seeing she should have seen Cliff and I think that undermines it. Plus the way I saw he time with Malcom it was years. She was in love. with him. He was a big part for her. A big loss. If anything Cliff should be able to see Kate. Be able to talk to her and apolgize. Tell her about Clara and Rory. Also Rita was not as close to them as she was around the begining of the show. Yes they where still here family but at that point bc of her memory loss she only knew them for a year maybe two. And even then I think that would have only made sense if Larry had died not Cliff. I know they all mean a lot to each other but Larry and Rita where always closer like Jane and Cliff where. Idk I enjoyed the ending but I also watched it all the way through.
