i will never get over ava calling deborah “D” like a frat boy in her trashed casino hotel room

They were both shook.

I started watching Hacks and I'm OBSESSED! Ava my girl has my entire heart god bless her. And I did not expect the kiss scene as early as the 7th episode but I'm not complaining here and the little crush and jealousy that follows after ufff!! chefs kiss. Also who is the fuck is Marty?? Why is he there, Can't he just die already?? Can I kill him with my bare hands? How dare he kiss Deborah ? I wanna kill him!!! Doesn't he know that Ava and Deborah belong tomorrow? Can't he just fuck off?

Im watching Hacks and there are some dropout people on here (and 2nd degree connections)! So far Ive seen Trey from Broad City which in a previous post i mentioned had dropout people on. We got Rekha Shankar (who was also on BC), Anna Garcia, and now in s2 we got Mano Agapion! Can’t wait to see more :)

Also this show is hilarious and makes me so emotional

imagine them two years later watching deborah vance quit late night for ‘someone she loves’ on live tv

I rewatched 1x03 recently and the scene with Ava watching the unaired show is still one of the best scenes in the entire show. This ep fucked me up both times. Watching this younger version of Deb, this joyful, more openly affectionate and tender version of her and the immense love she had for her family at the time and the fact that it was clear that although driven and ambitious, they were her whole world and watching all that knowing what is to come is just so painful to watch.

to this day that is still my faaaaaaavorite scene because that was the moment when i was like ohmygod i GET it. it reveals soooo much about deborah as a character and also its the moment where ava gains this respect for deborah she didn’t have up into that point. it’s the catalyst for the entire rest of the story and gives it such depth. suddenly i was SO much more invested in them: as individual characters, their dynamic together, just all of it.

like—thats the first time we see ava genuinely laugh at deborah’s jokes! and deborah HEARS IT from upstairs and secretly creeps down to the landing because its a sound shes literally never heard. and that devastating look on her face when she sees its the late night pilot, it still emotionally destroys me to this day. and you’re so right, seeing that young, ambitious, openly affectionate, bubbly and loving version of deborah is absolutely gut-wrenching.

we can talk about the beach scene and “you are my voice” and “someone i love” but the discovering late night scene made me fall deeply in love with this show, and ive frankly never recovered.

i hope i never will

unstable universe sketches from my first watch mid last year!

deborah’s character development is the most obvious and impactful but ava’s four-season arc is also incredible. do you remember that girl in season 1?? she was the worst! i loved her, but she was the worst. deborah wasn’t the only one who had never put someone else first. they make each other better….

gotta laugh at everyone who has ever said that "~unLiKE tHe pEtEr jACkSoN fILmS~ the trop people don't care about tolkien, don't care about middle-earth, it's a soulless adaptation for the money just because amazon is behind it" because (and i say this while also saying fuck amazon, fuck jeff bezos. it goes without saying - two things can be true at the same time, i can't believe it bears repeating)

how do you think films and television get made?? hate to break it to you, but it's all for the money. new line cinema didn't say "we love tolkien, pj, let's do this for free!" they were literally looking for a franchise hit when they decided to take the films over from miramax - which is exactly what every studio and their mom is trying to do now!!! it's movie business, baby! to say the people behind trop - the actors, the casting directors, the production designers, the vfx artists, the art directors, the armorers, the costume designers, the set decorators, the makeup artists, the ADs, the carpenters, painters, prop-makers, steelworkers, laborers, animal handlers, sound editors, miniature builders, stuntpeople, craftspeople, movement and dialect coaches, trainers, lighting techs, jewelers, etc. - don't care about the story they're telling???? is a wild reach. obviously they work for the showrunners who work for amazon who care the most about making a profit, but so did peter jackson and new line!! wanting your project to be financially and critically successful is not an inherently evil thing, come on guys, are you still buying into the starving artist fallacy 😭

there are tons of little nods to the silmarillion and other parts of the legendarium in the rings of power. yes, there are also changes and goofs, but lotr and the hobbit film trilogies also had their fair share of changes and goofs. i just think that "these people didn't read the books/this is just a money grab/pj & co. cared about the source material while these losers clearly don't" are tired arguments used to justify subjective opinions, not to mention the way it reeks of revisionist history considering the way tolkien purists initially took great issue with deviations made in lotr and especially the hobbit.

it's almost like...the most hated tolkien adaptation is ever the current one.

[anniemunchkins]

It really is no surprise that Ava had a sex dream about Deborah right after their 'really intense bonding experience' at the retreat. Girl was ready to bond with Deb's lips the second she was within kissing range...

[applealchemist]

Oh no. Don't let me start plotting out a Leverage Redemption / Moon Knight crossover. I don't need more wips. Help.

[cottoncandysprite]

I will say it's kinda funny for me to join the Hacks fandom just in time for possibly the most hype, emotionally devastating episode, followed by a lowkey underwhelming finale, followed by a year long hiatus

[sgtpeppers]
