1/∞ countless scenes I can't stop thinking about. ↳ EUPHORIA (2019-) S00E02: "Fuck Anyone Who's Not A Sea Blob."

[anonil88]

Reposting this because, I was right.

This was written the summer before season 2 aired.

Gonna talk about my lowering expectations and my wariness or worries for Season 2 of Euphoria.

These are just my personal opinions and speculations. This is long oops, buckle in.

This season is about to be so dark and a bit more gritty, less pretty effects but still great visuals and edits. I look forward to that I just hope it doesn't turn off too many fans. I saw a lot of people did not enjoy the specials for their lack of glitter and their blunt honesty. The dialogue is needed especially because not only Rules but all of these teens have terrible communication skills. The specials were honestly amazing and a great step into this more realistic aspects of a very complicated love story. I hope we can continue this line of realism and more perspectives or at least Rue talking about other characters perspectives. I would actually love to see Leslie, her mom, and things from her side of the story.

We all know it will be dark but my fear is that its going to be a trauma dump with poor writing, and no room for breathe. I know Sam has about like 5 different projects going on so I hope he took or takes his time with this script. But, after Malcom and Marie I'm a bit worried because he is going to have to go into uncharted new territory. Especially with these newer characters, I know HBO/A24 euphoria casting is looking for a stripper or two which has me a bit shook. I wonder how far they are going to push this show in the limits of wild but realistic teenage years. Personally even at 25 have never been to a strip club but I do know people who started stripping/dancing at 18. Either during our senior year of highschool or their freshman year of college. Sam being a cis white man is going to have to do his research and talk to people in order to not write a character like that in a damaging light. Which I hope doesn't happen because I'm pro adult dancer with transparency about that industry and others like it. Someone does need to spell out realistic consequences of joining in those industries at a young adult age, but it needs to be done correctly. I don't know if Sam will be the right person for that but only time will tell.

I have the same worries with the introduction of more poc cast and specifically black characters. Again time will tell and I cannot judge something entirely that I have not read or seen.

In general with Sam's writing i hope that any input that the cast has with their characters and the storylines is taken into consideration. I know this was done with the bridge episodes and season 1 but, sometimes studios can loom over talent when something is so successful. With all the awards, acclaim, and criticism I hope that peoples voices are still being heard and listened to. It would be a disservice to HBO to force expectations that could hurt the shows quality. *glares in last season of game of thrones*

While I'd love for this season to focus on anyone other than Jason Bateman Jr. the show is a drama and eventually Nathan will have to surface at some point. Rmfe.

I think there definitely need to be something where the on hand psychology liaison works out a plan for dismantling the Nate is just a fixer upper thing going on. I'm usually fine and let people ship what they ship but seeing so many abuse apologist sends off alarms in my mind. I realize it has partially to do with Jacob being attractive, which is also a great point the show is making pretty people can be bad too. But, it makes sense why this show is not geared for kids/young teens because the point just flew over theirs and even a lot of adults heads. I can only think that he will not be written as a complete villain because truth be told he is not entirely evil. He is a scared little boy in a grown man's body who needs therapy and real weighted consequences. He might not get either of those things and we just see him go off into the world, that is scary but real.

I'm aware that all of these characters could and likely will make turns for the worst. All teenagers and adults make mistakes, sometimes damaging ones. But, since some of these characters are trying to get into college I think that needs to be taken into account with their stories. Unless Nate doesn't plan on going to college it is unrealistic for him to be acting a whole fool the entire season. So I hope we don't get a over the top Joker character because senior year you kind of don't have time to fuck your senior year up unless you actively try to. At least in my experience. Also for the love of Jesus I don't want him and Jules to be anything. Even if he has feelings I need it to be plainly written out that its twisted and one sided because he is emotionally manipulating both her and Maddy.

Our time with certain characters is either running out this upcoming season or will fade. I know McKay might not come back or will be a background character. I actually think that is smart so the story isn't bogged down with irrelevant characters but, i hope the storyline and Rue or Nate's story doesn't suffer because of this. With the introduction of new characters the focus could go anywhere with this new season.

Maddy has the tape and her limbo of a breakup with Nate to worry about. If she uses it against Jules in favor of Nate, imma have to hope karma bites her in the ass.

Kat has her stalker and I'm terrified where they will go with her storylinr. I hope the writer does show the more negative aspects of camming, as well as, the effects it can/would have on a minor doing that. Because in the moment it is fun....and then you find yourself conscious of the decision you've made and with whom. The very serious legal ramifications that exist as well should you get caught. But, i really don't want them to girlboss Kat for being an underage person making money that way without any scope of what she's getting into. That would be so so harmful. But, I don't want her story to become one giant p.s.a for the dangers of XYZ work.

I believe in a Jules Vaughn supremacy and I want to protect her from that evil boy and his father. Am so so looking forward to new Jules' makeup and fashion looks that reflect the characters rejection of doing things for male validation . I do love her even though her and Rue's communication issues drive me up a wall. She should have just been like Rue, I like you a lot so can we sit down and talk about this but she didn't and now they are both out there crying into a pillow asking why doesn't she like me. I do get that they are 16/17 and I too at 17 most definitely wasn't equipped to communicate that well either. Hunter is doing a phenomenal job and I see a long career in her future.

Oh Rue, I think he is handling Rue's story well, but as always they can handle certain things differently. I.E even though I didn't see it as romantization I know some people did see the scene with her yelling at Fez and her OD as being too cheery. Rue in the special episode makes you angry and I actually would love more of that. I want to be upset at this character that I love and relate to so much, because a lot of her choices are frustating. Even the ones she makes that aren't revolving around her addiction which is honestly the only thing her life really revolves around. I wonder what else Rue enjoys or will find joy in besides drugs, Jules, and hanging out with her mom. She desperately needs to find a better outlet and hoping we get to join her on the journey to finding that..

Since we see everyone's perspective from her eyes it will be nice to see how her lack of sobriety affects those around her. Especially the baddest most down friends someone could have, Lexi and Fezco.

Lexi and Fez's episodes are gonna be so good, but God i know they are going to be vastly different because of the lives they lead. Fez' will get very sad or upsetting and Lexi' is going to bleed out of Cassie and Rue's storylines. These two are the closest to Rue who dealt with her addiction before rehab and before we met Rue. If Rue is this bad when she has no reason to keep living, imagine how she was directly after her dad passed away. Which because she is unreliable she never talks about and we only see glimpses of when she isn't narrating. So it will be really interesting to get a deep dive for both of these characters.

Fezco is the only man I really care about in this show. Um, Ethan is okay but I don't think he needs an episode. I'd rather get an episode on Fez and his little brother/cousin.

I would also like no love more of detective Lexi because that was too fun. Also Lexi is every person who has a bestfriend who gets into a relationship and they gush about that person in front of you for a little too long.

I'm kind of worried for Cassie honestly because she has come out of the wanting to date to feel loved phase, but will she focus on herself? Will she focus on school or skating? Will we even get to see more of her character or will she fade into the background a bit more and her story goes stale? I don't know i just hope that if there are any scenes like last season that its done in a "tasteful" way. She shouldn't be the show or productions golden ticket or free pass to be used as an object or trophy. McKay already did that and she deserves better. After my many rewatches of season 1 I'm still a bit unsettled by some of those scenes with her. I get she's supposed to be looked at from that lens of owning her sexuality while dealing with the male gaze, but at times its like jeez yall are really had to go there. Maybe its because i don't or try not to look at women with misogyny as a backlight, BOO DANIEL BOOO. The carousel scene is probably one of the most uncomfortable 5 minutes I've ever experienced watching TV. I just hope that behind the scenes and in table reading discussions are being had with Sydney' and any other actors to respect their comfort levels.

It is funny that out of the HBO shows with nudity that this is the one with the least femme presenting nakedness. I'm not weirded out by nudity but even for me seeing all them elephant trunks had me like O.O. It is nice to see that all bodies are being normalized and specifically that its not just "lets sexualize femme bodies" for views. Instead it subverts the norm while also reinforcing that bodies can be shown without any other intent than that bodies exist in many forms. A couple newer HBO and HBO max original shows are also following in Euphoria's lead with this, but there are still some HBO shows that I'm like so "you can show topless women back to back but the men are covered up and "modest". "

Ugh I hope the Game of Thrones spinoff has learned from its past, but that's me trying to be nice instead of saying I'm not interested after that finale season.

After this season we likely only have one more season, 3 Season model has taken over and honestly it makes sense to only go to 4 seasons max with this show. S1 and 2 for junior year, S3/maybe 4 for senior year. A season for each semester. Also if im remembering correctly Sam said he got clean after highschool or around that senior year to college years. And since Rue in a lot of ways is based off of him that timing makes sense. So I hope for a season 2 that is more reflective of the bridge episodes that gets us to season 3. And, I hope for this upcoming season even with the criticism that will come that its handled and executed beautifully. Glitter, messiness, and realistic sadness in all.

That's all I've got to say for now.

🎃...Wren's Spooktober Halloween Ships...

October is a special month, so to celebrate my birthday, halloween and my 200 followers I will be opening two limited time ships.

Hogwarts Life Ship:

So I adore Harry Potter and the Wizarding Universe so I am creating Hogwarts Life Ships but with my own not so secret little twist. If you request a Hogwarts Life Ship you will be randomly assigned 1 of 3 symbols

Now to make it interesting. This symbol will pop up somewhere random in your ship so keep your eyes open like wide open. And if you find a symbol that isn't where it's supposed to be dm and tell me where the symbol was.

If you do find it you will be entered into one of the tri-wizard tournament categories. Which means that you will receive either 1. a full one shot starring you and the idol of your choice and it can be a fluff, smut, angst, whatever you want fic with whatever plot. 2. a short drabble, or 3. A relationship headcanon either one is of a member of your choice.

Now to request for a Hogwarts Life Ship I need to know your; Hogwarts House (Unless you wish to be sorted), Patronus (if you know it), Your personality, sexual orientation (for the relationship section of your ship), appearance, likes/dislikes, your favourite Hogwarts subject, Your favourite professor, What extra curricular activities would you do at Hogwarts and anything else you feel like relates to your life as a Hogwarts Student.

And you will receive a fully nerded out comprehensive Hogwarts Life Ship with your romantic and friend life, your identity at Hogwarts, what Hogwarts clubs you are a part of, enemies or rivals, past relationships and Yule Ball Dates.

Now this can be completely random like the Idol life ships or you can choose 1-4 groups and I will include some members in the final ship. If you are requesting for a non-kpop fandom you can do this and get a spliced Hogwarts Life ship or just choose your favourite fandom to adapt into this world.

But again in the instance of kpop if you do not choose a group it will be completely randomised by my choosing like the Idol Life Ships I do

Please request one at a time and only one of these ships since it's supposed to be a very special once off thing

Halloween Trick or Treat Date:

Let's set the scene, Halloween is no fun without a partner by your side so instead of a Valentines Date you will have a Handsome Little Devil or a Gorgeous Ghoul (so cheesy I know let me live) who asks you to spend Halloween day with you.

In this ship you send me the same details that you would with a written or overall ship (it's your choice)- stuff like personality, likes/dislikes, mbti, hogwarts house, astrology, favourite halloween thing to do, favourite halloween costume, favourite candy, ideal date stuff like that and you will receive a ship that tells you your secret admirer, what your Halloween date, a small drabble and a moodboard and a shufflemancy song reading that says all you need to know about the vibes of your date!

Please request 1 group per ship but as soon as I am done you can keep requesting these until my special submissions are shut.

8-31st of October submissions are now open!

Side note all of my ships are open for other fandoms besides Kpop only until the 31st of October otherwise this is a standard Kpop blog

chapter 4/6: steal my sunshine

By @muserepeats for @calculated2stagger

Maybe Rue is someone she can trust with the secret she’s been unable to voice since New Year’s Eve. 

“Well, it’s a little more complicated than that.” Lexi bites her lip and steals a glance in Rue’s direction. Her friend is quiet, leaving space for her to feel out whatever she needs to say next. “The way it started was kind of… unusual.” “Why, because you met at a party and kissed at midnight? Seems like some Harry Met Sally romantic comedy shit.” “No, it’s not that. We kind of –” Lexi pauses to take a deep sigh. “We, um, started out pretending to date each other, because we both wanted to push Cassie and Ethan together. And then we both kind of fell… for real.”

The chortle from Rue’s throat is strong enough to shake the headboard. Thankfully, there’s a look of delight on her face. “Okay, now it’s an actual romantic comedy.”

[pinkeoni]

This came to me in a dream—

Okay. So you know how when El was being killed by One it triggered a memory from her past and it gave her the strength to fight back?

So WHAT IF Will was in the same position next season, being killed by Vecna in an attempt to take his powers after failing to get Will to join him naturally, but instead of seeing something from his past he sees something from his future. His prophetic powers are activated and he sees something that tells him that he does have a future, and that he should fight for it, and that gives him the strength to fight on.

I got a Cas trenchcoat for Christmas and let me tell you no one has ever gendered so hard as I gender in this coat. Combine peak gender euphoria with peak autistic excitement call that girlbossing.
