actually crazy uther lived as long as he did because not only did that guy suck sooooo bad and was constantly making enemies, but he was also rly rly rly rlyyyyy stupid and gullible like why are u trusting this random ass guy who somehow knows morgana is ill when literally no one outside of the castle had that information over your long time trusted court physician…fucking idiot….
#I know they kept him alive for plot or whatever but I rly do sometimes wish they had just let that guy die…#bbc merlin#merlin rewatch

wait wait PAUSE
am i delulu or is our girl tearing up here?
#i'm so hesitant about these 'sevika was crying when she looked up at vander's statue' claims bc i always feel there's plausible deniability#in the form of 'noo it's her waterline it's a trick of the light sevika isn't the type to cry in public you just don't understand animation#which i honestly can't argue with like i cannot judge these things for the life of me#what y'all think#guaranteed y'all have better vision than me so imma defer to the sevika nation's judgement#sevika#sevika arcane#arcane#arcane sevika#edit: been rewatching some scenes and i think she just naturally has quite a thick waterline?#like i don't even think she was tearing up at vander's statue (unless the creators have had another 'Tweet The Plot' session)

Jayce has been codependent and willing to die with Viktor since s1 and rewatching Arcane has only proven this to me. Look at this
youtube
While Viktor is waffling about whether or not to disarm the bomb or let him and Jayce blow up, Jayce…stays right there. He doesn’t run to get distance or find cover, he stays right there. Yes, he breathed a sigh of relief when Viktor did disarm the bomb, he didn’t WANT to be blown up in that moment, but he was not letting Viktor potentially die alone. The foreshadowing for what would happen in s2….Jayce man what the fuck is wrong with you (affectionate)
#arcane#jayvik#also I know they started animating s2 before they even finished writing it but also#i think it means something that it’s a consistent thing that jayce is willing to die with Viktor#rewatching s1 is a trip after s2 because you get to see that actually Jayce has been so codependent with Viktor the whole time#he just had other plot points going on#i want to make another post abt Jayce’s excessive touchiness with Viktor#bc It Is Excessive but that will take a bit bc that requires Many screenshots lmao#viktor arcane#viktor#jayce talis#Youtube

Re-watching wakfu for the first time in years and s1 Yugo was so silly???
dude discovered he could make portals at will and his first thought after actually acknowledging it is "i can do so many cool pranks with this"
#he was just a kid..... guys he was just a kid....#HE WAS SO SILLY#also the fact that after eva told him they used to call amalia princess gobball he just laughs at it ☠️#was he 12? i think he was in s1#why dont they ever celebrate characters bdays tho#thinking over it now there was little to no chill time for these guys#sure there was a good amount of non plot stuff to get to know the characters but like#idk? ummm like in the first ova they gave them some chill time and i wish they had done that more#s4 was an amalgamation of “FUCK NOT AGAIN JFC”#OH ACTUALLY#there was (1) episode with chill time and i loved it#despite having gone thru alot of effort to be like look!!! chibi and grougal!!! theyre bros!!! yugo spent like. 5 minutes of screentime#with them. like actually being their brother.#and like it was kinda funny because imagine like the world sorta blowing up a little and then ur child comes back just to say#'dad im rlly fucking upset. ive been to the house of the gods btw. and i met my mom.'#alibert mustve been so fkn confused hdhdbd#then again. its like. average shit for his son#alibert went from gay dad with his lil guy from a species he does not know of who basically works a farm inn to like#a literal demigod. he def has made some enemies#i remember the most abt yugo bec the hyperfix was strongest on him#current thoughts on the others in the brotherhood:#tristepin: yugos nickname did not translate well into en lmao. also my guy pls stop harrassing women?? he gets an arc ik but like. my guy.#yes specifically s1 them#amalia: i mean. she does in fact act like a spoiled 13 yr old. but like. girl they did u kinda dirty.#eva: they also did you kinda dirty. love that your the only one just sick of everyones logic defying shit.#ruel: yk what. no notes. that is the most realistic old man ive ever seen. hes hilarious#az: this mf gets his ass in trouble every five seconds. u can tell he grew up with yugo. also according to s4 he gets bitches so XD#wu's rewatch notes#thats what im calling this#wakfu

Rewatching 97 because I just need to get on with it but GAWDDD at this point I'm literally not watching all the rogueneto scenes IT'S SO UNCOOL 💀💀💀💀 ERIK WOULD NOT DO THAT WTF DISNEY
its just really funny in regards to 97 specifically because they never even interact in 92 (or if they do its incredibly sparring) so it's just the most out of nowhere thing possible. like oh we're doing this now ok
#snap chats#ITS THE WAY THEY DONT EVEN WAIT FOR MAGNETO TO UNPACK HIS SUITCASE IN THE X MANSION YK WHAT I MEAN#AS SOON AS HE'S HEADMASTER /NOW/ WE'RE GETTING THIS BACKGROUND LIKE /OH OK ALRIGHT/#OBVIOUSLY it happened in the comics but if we're talking TAS continuity... lol...#biases aside it is simply Very Funny JEALKJERKLEJA#the most awkward part of it is watching gambit get sidelined like king nooooo..... and then he dies vJEALKVJEAKLJ#like ik you two werent dating in 92 either but yall at least had build up.....#listen i get wanting to kill yourself after watching your crush and her ex. Do All That. like multiple times throughout the show#ONE TIME BEING A NAKED HALLUCINATION LIKE listen i do not blame gambit for being so ready to kill himself JVLKESJAELK#I WOULDVE BEEN ON THE NEWS PERSONALLY#i cant deny the humor of it all but at the same time it does stop me from rewatching 97 sometimes#'snap is it that serious' absolutely not its just awkward yk what i mean. i dont have a grander reason other than i cant vibe with them#idk i think i just overall wanted rogue to do more than be in a love triangle plot#maybe its just cause i dont really care for romance plots in general idk...#but then again i liked whatever they were cooking with gambit and rogue in 92... there will-they/won't-they thing.....#like the ep in 97 where she. Goes Rogue... that was cool..... thatd be cool to see more of..#hopefully that's comin in the next season...

This was the first time I noticed that when Zava messes with Jamie’s hair, he does say under his breath ‘get off me, man’
#tossing more kindling on the Jamie Murders Zava fic#really wish that plot line had actually had like. a climax or whatever#instead of Zava being faded out once his purpose of narrative momentum for other stories was fulfilled#ted lasso rewatch#jamie tartt#Zava

I took this quiz. And some episodes were easy. Some made me just plain mad (Anti-Mavity Motorbike. No. I hate this stupid running joke). Some made me mad because I understood IMMEDIATELY what they meant (Awkward Bed Sharing, Paving Slab, Smacked Bottom) and it annoyed me that it made sense. And some made me mad because I knew the exact episode but could not remember the actual title for the LIFE of me (PE Teacher, Floating Fingers). And others made me want to sob (Cup-A-Soup, Solid Right Hook) because I loved the description choice so much.
Anyway. I need there to stop being so many "the [Blank] of the Doctor" episode titles. I can't keep track of them. At a certain point if I knew it was an 'of the Doctor' episode I just skipped it.
#doctor who#also guys you won't believe this but i could not remember the title of 'Smith and Jones' which is literally one of my favorite episodes#i totally drew a blank and i kept getting stuck on the hospital being called Royal Hope and assuming that was part of it#i didn't totally cheat. i instead searched my blog for martha since i knew a gifset from the episode would pop up eventually#and i literally said '...OH my god.' out loud in annoyance when i saw the title. i'm so mad at myself. i'm a DISGRACE.#LOOK. IN MY DEFENSE. I JUST STARTED MY PERIOD TODAY FINALLY AFTER IT WAS LIKE 5 DAYS LATE.#AND I'M IN SSRI WITHDRAWAL AND FINALLY GOT MY REFILL BUT MY BRAIN IS STILL DOING ITS BRAIN ZAPS#SO MY MIND IS NOT FULLY HERE. this was not the right time for me to attempt this quiz.#i should have quit after not remembering Smith and Jones and tried again tomorrow but i'm stubborn#it's the episode i've rewatched THE MOST. so i really should have remembered the name without a reminder. i'm very disappointed.#also i hate that the set up of the quiz is that if i suddenly remember an answer that i skipped it takes forever to find it again.#i'm really mad about PE because i can quote so much of the episode and i adore Danny Pink but i could NOT remember the title.#i kept going with like 'the janitor' or 'school reunion' which is a different episode and I knew that but i was frustrated.#oh and this reminded me that i still to this day have not fully watched the last couple episodes of season 6#i always forget that i didn't watch them. until plot points from them come up and i'm like 'oh yeah that happened but i didn't see it.'#so Closing Time and God Complex i knew but i was like i have no shot remembering those episode titles#also i fully had Curse of the Black Spot and Legend of the Sea Devils mixed up#also i could not remember the title of Doomsday and i fully was like 'nah i don't care enough to fight for this one'#and i blocked Praxeus from my memory to save my sanity since that body horror was truly disgusting#similarly i'm realizing i blocked Knock Knock from my memory too. i'm not a person particularly scared of bugs. but that episode... nope.#i don't think i've given away any answers here. pretty sure i've only mentioned either the description OR the title of episodes#but not both. anyway i'm really mad about one particular description because i KNEW it was referencing its episode#but then i second guessed myself and skipped it and then couldn't find it again because of how sporcle designs these particular quizzes#not gonna say the description or the episode but yeah i was really mad

(Lord help me lads, I’ve got covid and I started watching Link Click—
#this is covid round 3 and it was worse than round 2 but I think it’s the tail end of it#I’ve had to watch the dub of link click because I can’t find one with subtitles my brain can keep up with#if a show is not in english or in japanese i will often try hard to find subtitles that include the cultural context in a translator’s note#that’s how I got through cql#I was also having trouble following the plot so I switched over after the first episode#but it seems like the 2 leads especially Understand The Assignment#and I know there’s obviously stuff that doesn’t translate that they’ll have localized but#I appreciate the effort at approximation#it’s got a similar vibe to me as the persona 5 dub in that way#also the 2 dub VAs clearly understand that there’s no heterosexual explanation for any of this#blah I should rewatch it in Not English once I can pay to watch an official version#I do know enough about it to have steeled myself to be Really Fucking Sad though

things I wish I could relive for the first time again:
that magical window where you finish a new piece of media, having watched/read it all by yourself with no fandom contact whatsoever, and you are just so happy about it, and full of interesting theories and takeaways, and just in love with it as a gorgeous piece of art.
because I swear to god as soon as you join the fandom for anything, you're bombarded with how you're supposed to view characters and their arcs, how you're supposed to morally and ethically judge the plot and the ways it apparently failed to present the right message, and if you don't you'll either be shunned for not sharing the popular headcanons or you'll be harassed for not criticizing the source material enough.
like how is it that the fans of a piece of media are also the ones being the most negative about it? If I like a show or a movie or a book, well, I liked it. That's kind of the point. I'm actually not here to tear it apart and talk about how it didn't live up to standards other people had! I enjoyed it for what it was, and forcing myself to find negative things to say about it doesn't actually bring me more enjoyment of it or reap any benefit to me. Fandom's a double-edged sword; you want to join a community to share your love for a piece of art, and the price you pay for a modicum of joy is a mountain of negativity. that's one main reason that I never engage with fandom until I'm completely done with a show, because if I was plugged into all of that commentary and discourse during the process, I'd be completely colored by how I'm expected to interpret everything this piece of art is presenting to me without being able to even form my own opinions.
#this is currently about arcane but it's also every fandom i've been in since the dawn of time#there is so much political discourse about how the show handled the piltover zaun conflict and class struggle and i just#like i don't even know what to say besides. art doesn't have to provide the correct answer you know#it's not asking you to accept their explanation as the right one. it's just presenting a story. a scenario. a nuanced one at that#which of course the internet is the enemy of nuance as we know#especially in arcane i thought it was fairly clear that the end wasn't the bright shining future anyone hoped it'd be.#was anyone right in their actions? did anything turn out the way they wanted? or was it just as messy and gray as real life#we're living in such a myopic time for art where it's believed every story must take the correct stance or be invalid or even harmful#instead of just offering a perspective. a lived experience. a hypothetical. a story.#and when it gets to be headache inducing all I can do is take myself back to how I felt when I watched the show for the first time#and I came away from the whole thing being incredibly moved and captivated by the entire story and its nuance.#i had no qualms and no criticisms and i was very impressed with the depth of storytelling surrounding the political parts of the plot#as well as the character arcs. i guess people like to dunk on viktor's s2 arc nowadays and i just. shrug. i was blown away by it#for me at least i have nothing but pure love and admiration for art after i've viewed it. it's only after interacting with fandom#that the criticisms seep in and now i can't unsee it and even if i don't agree with it it still muddies my ability to enjoy the art#fandom is a curse in that sense. like i seek out art that i enjoy. i have no desire to make myself dislike that art. whats the point#why are the biggest haters of a piece of media the 'fans' of it idk.#me finishing a show: wow i love all the characters and the plot and the cinematography! I want to talk to others about how cool it is!#meanwhile the fandom hating characters to the point of death threats to their creators#after 13 years in fandom i can say this - if you don't need to join the fandom for smth then don't lmao.#you'll be able to retain your genuine enjoyment of the thing.#that whole 'if you didnt like what i made then make your own' philosophy people use on fanfic/fanart should be applied more#to actual published art too. you should be able to meet art where it's at and if you don't like what it's saying or how it looks then#just move on and find something else. another branch of the 'the greatest enemy of the left is the left' tree imo#a show has a lot of queer rep? bash it to the point of making the creators go into hiding for not doing it how you think it should be#no artist will ever be able to satisfy everyone's demands. they just want to put their experiences and ideas into the world#creators that try to do good get more vitriol than those who never try. they're scrutinized harder and judged more harshly#it's just. one of those 'real fucking tired of fandom' nights. the best cure is just going back and rewatching the source material#all on your own and falling back in love with it. just you and your genuine connection with the art.#anyway what happened to steven universe was unforgiveable and it really ruined fandom for me. like. yall don't deserve nice things

free miracle cure for some of the takes & winning poll options that've been on my dash lately. get well soon

#some of you are basing strong opinions off of inaccurate 18+ month old memories of your last watch and it shows#like if your ship is the main/only part of a show that you care about great. you do you. Ive had shows like that. have fun however it's fun#just. if that's you why are you jumping into arguments about the other stuff#if your perception of the show is built on yt scene packs of your ship spliced together with frog dna to fill in the boring parts#(aka The Actual Plot) where are you getting the confidence to argue dickishly about characters and themes you clearly pay no attention to?#also gesturing vaguely to that post about periodically renewing your license by rewatching the source material#anyway.#don't mind me I'm just an old man grumbling on my porch as I see tourists start to filter back into town as the weather warms up#(resumes whittling)#shitposts

an entirely expected side effect of me whipping out my old external HDD is that now I AM going to rewatch basically the entirety of my canon game of Inquisition that I had mostly recorded back in like '15-'16, and get my heart torn right out again by this damn guy making this damn face
he deadass goes "😢" doesn't he
#squirrel plays dragon age#dorian pavus#turn that frown on your expressive-ass face upside down or i swear i'll get my guy to kiss it off you#and THEN you'll be sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#anyway i just rewatched the trespasser scenes and that “*you* are the man i love; amatus” took me out for a solid two seconds#clutching my chest; i am once again claimed by the sickness folks#going from “you learn not to hope for more; you'd be foolish to” to “nothing will truly keep us apart” is just.... chef's kiss#.... and yeah i'm more and more sure as time goes on that they were fully setting him up to be a returning character#whether it actually winds up happening or not; i feel like the setup is very deliberate#just by virtue of him leaving no matter what; even though in a romance he clearly doesn't want to and even says as much?#with the lines implying that he had more or less promised the inquisitor that he would stay?#it feels very intentional. like they were trying to make the ending of the romance satisfying and open to be continued#WHILE making sure that he is where he needs to be for the plot

long shot but does anyone have any suggestions for japanese language media thats spoken clearly and doesn't have baked in english subtitles, i want to form a habit of practicing daily but its hard to find things that im interested in but not so interested that i dont mind not understanding half of it
youtube channels about specific topics could be great, maybe if you had animated shows and movies for kids that you wanted to plug or anything like that
#i think this is a bad time zone for americans so ill have to bump later#for youtube it cant just be somebody standing there talking its really boring to me#id love something thats like solo travel japan if it had talking#i also watched masaru for a while (catches and cooks fish) but he talks kind of quickly and uses specific terminology plusi got bored#oh i guess i enjoyed watching piropito play minecraft too even if im not gonna rewatch it probably#im rewatching one stormy night right now since i remember its plot but its been a while#and if i dont find anything else ill just have to watch more anime even though watching each episode twice to understand the plot#kind of kills some of my motivation lol#i was watching nana and i probably still will eventually theres a lot of vocab relating to daily life#though i think therse also a lot of period specific slang

cuckoo had a lot of things working against it in terms of audience reception (not least the fact that it was a neon drop immediately following longlegs) but i honestly think it was mostly just. its firm insistence on the sincerity of premises that a 2024 audience doesn't expect or want. like. the cultural obsession right now is a grief/trauma horror subgenre, and has been since babadook. and cuckoo tricks its audience into thinking it's going to be another entry into the trauma horror canon by allowing gretchen to have a dead mother, but then it swerves to be actually about queer feminism, white patriarchy, colonialism, and eugenics. it's a gotcha! they're having fun with genre expectations!!! and so it leaves the audience feeling stupid because they're unable to interpret the film through a trauma horror framework, which is what they went in expecting, and their only option when they feel stupid is to accuse the movie of being messy and nonsensical. but ALSO, even apart from that, cuckoo is. a monster movie!!! cuckoo is straight up just a MONSTER movie and we don't see all that many of those anymore!!! and not only that but its monster is so wacky and zany and bonkers and original that it's even further putting off an audience who ALREADY don't like monster movies. and so again they have to accuse it of being a disaster and its plot not making any sense when actually it's like. the plot makes total sense. everything relevant to the plot is answered by the film itself. there are maybe some worldbuilding or lore things that are left unanswered but they don't impact the viewing experience. it's just that cuckoo is doing something different than what audiences demand from horror in 2024. and i PERSONALLY think that's what makes it the best release of all time
#to be clear longlegs had a LOTTTT to do with this i think#because longlegs follows established tropes both in terms of plot (demons satan scary dolls) and theme (abuse trauma family annihilation)#i've talked about my qualms with longlegs' actual coherence but aside from that. it gave the people what they wanted!!! and it did it#stylishly and impactfully (on a surface level)!!!!!#and so for cuckoo to ride the coattails of another movie from the same company that performed SO well and played into modern horror#expectations SO effectively. just kinda fucked it over. and made its subversiveness and originality seem out of left field#whateverrrr i'm just rewatching cuckoo rn#cuckoo 2024

my two webtoon cents is I think it's fine-ish. The artstyle is cute, it's got some cute moments, it's fun. I don't really think it'd be a good replacement for watching the show cause they cut a lot of stuff but, as it is, it's fine.
#I'm putting this in the tags cause I'm a bit scared to say#as someone who isn't really a big Riz enjoyer I'm not a big fan of how they're posing Riz as the like main character#I get he's like the only bad kid who's paying attention to the plot in the start but like#we're missing so many peak moments#Fig trying to take the fall when Adaine stole the book#Kristen comforting Adaine when she had a panic attack#Kristen telling Gorgug she's proud of his non violence when Fabian punched him right before he goes into a rage#GORGUG'S MAD SONG#they're just things that would've been fun to see in artform so I miss that they're not here#but whatever I can still just rewatch the show#fantasy high
