#he fucked that old man can't wait to see it in s2

[johnlockdynamic]

Daniel Molloy + iconic probing questions

[grimfurbybitch]

Hey quick question

What the fuck does Zestial actually do?

Most overlords seem to have businesses (except Alastor, he's broke) and a niche, I can't for the life of me figure out what this man does other than be old

I know he does soul deals but I don't know what he'd offer them, i suspect the Vees offer a job to their contracts, but him? No clue

I can't wait for S2 maybe we'll get to see more of him and what he does, maybe even see why he has such a fearsome reputation

fights and sleep overs

𝔰𝔲𝔪𝔪𝔞𝔯𝔶: that scene in S2 E8 where Neill finds out Billy didn't babysit Max and gets super mad. You're hiding under his bed as you and Billy had forgotten the time and you had stayed too late.

Not being able to stand Neil's bullshit, you step in. (Dialogue between Billy and Neil not accurate)

𝔱𝔴'𝔰: fighting, swearing

Hearing the front door open and close makes your eyes for wide. "Fuck." Billy mumbles and gets up, looking around. "You gotta go. Now." He says and opens the window.

You get up just as quick but before you can leave through the window - shoes in hands - the door rattles with Neil's knocking. "Open up!" he yells.

You freeze for a second, same as the tall boy next to you. In the matter of a second you throw yourself on the floor and slide under Billy's bed. You see the door open, the angry man stomping on the wooden floor. "Where is Maxine?" You can't see Billy's face until you look in the full body mirror. He looks frightened but tries to hide it.

Neil steps closer, still wanting to know where the teen girl is. "Her window was open." Neil says as if it would make Billy know where she was by now. "I don't know where she is. She's a 13 year old she doesn't need a full-time babysitter anymore!" Billy argues. You agree silently, it wasn't his job especially not for a whole week.

When you blink Neil stamps forward until he's only inches apart from his son's face. While he continues to insult him, you try holding back from getting up. You know Billy was way too afraid to see he would be able to overpower the older man without a problem.

Your patience snaps when Neil grabs Billy's collar and shoves him against the metal shelves. You slide from under the bed and grab the next best thing in reach - the glass ashtray filled with old cigarettes and ash. Billy sees you immediately, gaze growing more panicked. You can't see Susan but you're sure she's just as shocked as Neil is when you slam the ashtray against his head. It makes a loud sounds and you're sure it must've been painful. You sure hope it was. Letting Billy go and falling to the floor, you move to stand in front of your shocked boyfriend.

Neil lifts a hand against his now bleeding temple and fixes his blurry gaze on you. "Don't you ever touch him again or I'll end you." He looks shocked before letting out a laugh. "What? You seriously think I'm going to get scared by some girl?" he taunts and moves to get back on his feet.

You wait until he's standing, walking the few steps until you're standing right in front of the man that had made your boyfriend's life hell. He was at least a head taller than you, but you were unbothered.

Grabbing his collar and squeezing it in a way that made him gasp for air you push him against the wall. "Don't fucking think you're entitled to treat him like this just because you can't raise someone alone! Get your shit together and either leave him alone or leave in general, I don't care. But if I see you hurt him again I'm sure the police would be happy to know about all of this." You snarl before pushing his head into the wall with force.

A pained groan escapes him but he doesn't reply. Turning to a frightened Susan you scoff. "You're nothing better, you know? Letting this happen without a word to protect them. Disgusting." She doesn't answer either, so you consider your job done and get your jacket. Turning to Billy and grabbing his hand as well as car keys you pull him out the door, leaving the pair of stunned parents behind.

Opening the passenger door and gently pushing Billy to sit down you smile at his dazed look. You close the door after getting behind the steering wheel and take in a deep breath. "Baby, you're fucking amazing." Billy breathes before breaking out into a laugh. You do, too, happy that he's happy. "Honestly, when he first came I was so scared and then I just got mad." You lean your head against the head rest sideways and smile at Billy.

He reaches over and takes your hand in his, stroking his thumb over your reddened knuckles. Leaning forward you place a kiss on his cheek before placing your forehead against his. "No one hurts you and gets away with it."

He chuckles again but nods with a grateful smile.

"I sure got myself one hell of a girlfriend, didn't I?" You lift your chin up and puff your chest out proudly. "A 100 percent." He laughs heartily and you do the same before starting the car. "You'll stay with me and we'll fix you up, okay? My mom's been worried for you." He looks surprised at the last sentence and you elaborate, "I think she heard when we were talking about Neil and some of your bruises weren't healed fully so she's just been asking all the time how you're doing." You giggle and pull into the street to your house.

"I like her. She makes good food." He seems to think back to when he stayed over for dinner and your mom had made his favorite dish. "You know what I like about this?" You question, eyes fixed on the road.

"What is it?" he's toying with your free hand while also looking at the passing trees and streets.

"I get to have you all to myself~ also, we can cuddle all night." You do a small excited wiggle at which he laughs and nods. "Yep, I'm all yours, baby." He grins and you copy his action. This night turned out way better than you would've expected for sure.

Me: G!Dracula is so emotionally weak fr, look at him <3 Going on a rampage everytime a wife of his dies <3 He got so many issues. Doesn't even know how to cope with death despite everything <3 I love him, tall bastard <3 N!Dracula: *Is shown as emotionnally weak, not able to cope with his wife's death, to the point of seemingly not giving a fuck about the war he started himself, or anything else for that matter, except "wife dead and i have only one friend :("* Me: Wait what the fuck. This isn't how i love my babygirl.

lmao, you have to strike the right balance

Obviously the games don't go much into detail about Dracula's grief, not even the ones made after SoTN. CoD is an interesting case because Dracula implies that he suffered at the hands of humanity, but doesn't elaborate. Still, it's interesting when you put the games in order that Dracula ends SoTN apologizing to Lisa and Alucard (in English only)... and then he's up to his old shit in later games like nothing happened. dude's too far gone.

Dracula in the games is mainly hatred incarnate. Sure, he stays up in his throne room waiting for the current Belmont/hero to show up instead of smiting the fool right at the entrance, but it comes off as arrogance, "I don't need to lift a finger because I have a whole army of monsters at my disposal", not apathy. And S1 got it right! He's so obviously in pain, but his reaction is to literally make gore and monsters rain from the sky to spread his reign of terror. But by S2, they tried to humanize him too much and went into the opposite direction: I can't look at this

or this

or this

and see Dracula as a terrifying Lord of Darkness.

(nvm that i hate the scenes with isaac also because dracula and him take turns to shit on hector, leave that man alone ffs)

"Is he still loyal?" remember when in the MF manga he swears that he'd turn Hector into a lowly demon and force him to drink sewage for the rest of his life? Yeah, Dracula wouldn't be this blasé over the mere suspicion that one of his closest generals might be turning traitor.

I'm really starting to resent humanization, when it comes at the expenses of the established cruelty and charisma of a villain.

[the-invisible-queer]

Do you have any other favorite characters in WoT besides Lan? Iirc, you mentioned Perrin being one of your favorites

Warning: Includes spoilers for season 2 of The Wheel of Time under the cut

PERRIN MY BELOVED

I have loved him since watching the first episode and watching the man get traumatized by accidentally killing his pregnant wife 😭

Don't care for the whole Perrin loves Egwene storyline they were going for in the first season

So glad it looks like they dropped it for s2 - but who knows if it comes back

I loved his relationship with Hopper and was absolutely devastated with him when Hopper died

I love ghe whole thing of him becoming a wolfbrother! Love how it's been developed since the beginning. Can't wait to see where it goes next

Also love when we get to see him fuck shit up

I love his brotherhood with Mat with my whole heart. The definition of a bromance

Definitely have to check out more of Marcus Rutherford's work

ALSO MAT

I loved Barney Harris' portrayal of him in s1. I love that his main concern was taking care of his sisters. I was bummed originally when I found out Barney wasn't coming back in s2.

HOWEVER, I love the way Donal Finn portrayed him in s2. His portrayal is obviously so different. You see a different side of Mat we didn't get in s1.

He's still a bit of a fool (affectionate) but

But I am mad that they kind of dropped his concern for his sisters

Loved the scene of him and Rand talking and them both telling each other that their friends are not better off without them 😭

Loved that he did what he could not to touch the cursed blade

AND THE WHOLE THING WITH THE HEROES OF THE HORN *chef's kiss*

His absolute devastation when he stabbed Rand 😭

I love Mat Cauthon with my whole heart

ALSO MY WIFE NYNAEVE

Let me start off by saying: Talented, Brilliant, Incredible, Amazing, Showstopping, Spectacular, Never The Same, Totally Unique, Completely Not Ever Been Done Before, Unafraid To Reference Or Not Reference

AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING ICON SINCE DAY ONEEEE

She is a survivor, a warrior, a protector, a healer

And she is my (and Lan's) EVERYTHING

Love that the only time she seems to channel is when Lan is in danger (more like dead or dying) because BITCH SAME - I know she's channeled besides that but let me have thus

I absolutely loved the scenes where she was living her best life with Lan and their daughter 😭

Wish we could have seen them actually reunite in reality but those scenes at Two Rivers will hold me over til s3

I'm curious to know what's behind the mental block that prevents her from channeling

I would die for her

I would kill for her

I am lowkey in love with Moiraine - but that's mostly because Rosamund Pike intimidates me and brings that intimidation to Moiraine and I am attracted to women who intimidate me

She is such an interesting character

I'm glad we got to explore more of her past in s2 and meet her family

Also her whole thing with Siuan makes me so soft - up until the end 😭

I'm always here for any type of queer representation even the ugly side of it

STOP THE HOMOPHOBIA AND LET THEM BE FISHWIVES TOGETHER GODDMANIT

I have a big old crush on Lanfear/Selene

Give me a hot villain and you KNOW I'll fall in love with them instantly

And she is a hot villain

But also woman just wants to be loved

I need to know what happened between her and Lews Therin - it's always a bitch ass man tearing beautiful women down

I am so in love with Natasha O'Keefe and have been since Peaky Blinders

She has my consent to tie me to a wheel if she wants

LASTLY

Ishamael, my beloved 🥺

Another hot villain

I wouldn't say he's a fav but I definitely was a little bummed when he got killed

I really think Ishamael, Lanfear, and Lews Therin had a throuple situation going on and I don't care if anyone disagrees

Because at the very least Ishamael and Lews has something a little gay going on 👀

[belovedharringrove]

so i made a post saying that if you want proof that billy is abused by neil, that you should watch the scene where neil's asking him where max is with an abuser (but, like. don't actually do that if you can avoid it) and @sonneillonv asked to see my perspective on it.

okay so start this off properly

TRIGGER WARNING

there will be discussions of abuse to both a real person (me) and a character (billy).

i'm putting my thoughts in order as i write this so this may either be extremely short or very long.

right. i am 21 years old and i work and make my own money, and during all these years i have been abused physically, verbally and let's say financially. the physical abuse has slowed down but from the time i was 6-7 to when i was about 17 my father abused me physically almost every day, sometimes for what i considered to be the dumbest reasons but he considered to be disrespect. my dad worked in construction his whole life so he didn't have the lightest hand in the world either.

when i watched s2 e8 (correct me if i'm wrong but i believe that's the episode) i was with both of my parents.

in the episode, billy's getting ready for a date and neil knocks on his door demanding to know where max is, start insulting him, etc.

the moment i saw nail hit billy, i immediately went "see? billy lashes out at everyone because he's being abused. that is abuse." and my 60 year old father immediately disagreed with me. he said that no, that's not abuse, but billy was being disrespectful and maybe if billy had spoken better to him, neil wouldn't have had to punch him, billy could've gotten away with a slap to the wrist!!! which is a form of manipulation that he's used with me before. you know, the apologies that go "i'm sorry i yelled at you in public, but if you hadn't pissed me off i wouldn't have had to scream at you!".

then we get to the part where neil asks billy to repeat himself and i say "that's a tool that abusers use as a way of holding power over their victims" and my father once again disagrees with me. says that sometimes as a parent, you need to ask your children to repeat things so "the lessons stick better" and "they don't keep making mistakes". when i asked what mistake billy made, he floundered and then said billy lost max and when i pointed out that, in me and my older siblings case, we could both be home at the same time and be none the wiser because we're always in our rooms. perhaps the same thing can happen to billy and max? y'know, because they're humans and billy can't be expected to helicopter over a moody teenager the whole day unless he wants her to throw her skateboard at him? he just got quiet and told me to shut up.

then we get to the part that billy goes to the byers' house and he gets into a fight with steve. when max grabs the syringe and injects billy with the medicine, i say "she shouldn't have done that, that was very dangerous thing to do. billy could've died." and my mom says "but they were using that to put will to sleep, it wouldn't have hurt him." i then have to explain that we don't know billy's medical history. he could've had an allergic reaction to the medicine and simply just died. i am 100% certain that none of them have cpr training or even would've known what to do if that had happened. then they go and take billy's car, leaving him drugged and with no mode of transportation.

at this point my father is not very happy and says "well, billy is a grown man! if he hated being abused so much, he could've just fought back!" and- no. he couldn't.

billy looks like a grown man because dacre montgomery was around 23 years old in 2017 when season 2 came out and, let's be honest, the man is pretty fucking fit. but billy was a teenager. only 17 years old. it's not he didn't want to fight back, it's that he couldn't.

as a 21 year old, i have my abusive father financially dependent on me while he waits to be retired. i could easily deny him a single cent that he asks of me but i cannot. not because i'm incapable, but simply because my mind goes 'he's your father, he raised you, he loves you, do you really wanna turn into him? he did his best while raising, he wasn't perfect but who is?' and that's only a few of the thoughts that go through my mind. billy is 17 years old and similar things probably go through his mind, plus maybe 'i don't have anyone' because max proved she doesn't care for his wellbeing back at the byers house, susan wouldn't come to his defense and neil is his abuser. he's far from california, he has no friends and no other family. he's completely alone.

i really hope this made sense and i put it in a way that people understand. i am emotionally drained now because this is a difficult topic to breach for me, but if you have any questions or need me to clear anything up, just reply or send me a pm and i'll be happy to answer.

[vole-mon-amour]

The Newsreader, 1x05.

Ah yes, raising homophobia even more, great coverage. Ugh.

A wild thought: what if Dale is HIV positive himself? Though I think he should have told Helen in the first place & she would have thought on it. Still trying to guess what The Big Mystery is.

Lestat like this when?

They're right to do so, really.

As a bisexual, I'd like to hit you on the head with something heavy. You know, to actually put you at risk. Asshole.

i feel sorry for Noelene, but also: she didn't hesitate even ONCE to go with that quote. Didn't even fucking blink. If I were here, I wouldn't even open my mouth on it. LGBTQIA community deserves better.

Helen is a bit... clingy. Actually intrigued about her past. Any exes? What did her dad do to her? Why is she like this? Literally throwing food and dishes when she's sad and angry. How old are you, really?

And back to alcohol she goes. :/

Lindsay, I swear to fucking god. Are there any actually good people on this show? I mean, yeah, good for Rob trying to protect Noelene, but he is also homophobic and afraid of HIV positive people.

You're gonna have a stroke like that, bestie. <3

I want to punch Geoff.

Sam's ability to cry when his characters needs to be in that state, what a Man. And yes, it is very, very difficult. How it showed Dale on the lines about struggling with this alone.

"Just... sorry."

Fucking called it. Ugh.

Oh Dale. :(

My first impression thinking Dale has AIDS and didn't tell Helen: So he... he didn't tell Helen??? Yooo, I thought WAY better of him. I'm just so ??? This is the first thing you do with your sexual partners. Thinking about this having an entire plotline in Queer as folk since it's THAT important. Yo, seriously, I did NOT expect Dale to act this way.

My second one after the ending of the ep: Well, if it's about the allegations, he didn't have to tell her anything. Good for him to keep it to himself.

What an actor. What a character. Good side of Dale is that he wants to protect Adam after all he did to Dale. Bad side? He's a mess & he needs therapy as much as Helen.

He was, and still is, a bag full of shit. And so are you. I'm disgusted.

I see how they are focusing on this, but at what point are they going to say out loud that she's an alcoholic?

Listen, lady, if it wasn't about Dale being HIV positive (which, turns out, he's not), he doesn't have to tell you SHIT. You don't own him & he owes you NOTHING. Why is everybody in this show so... awful?

I like the diversity of characters Sam is not afraid to portray.

"I told him, Helen. I stopped it as soon as it started." I mean, yeah, it's cheating (I guess? Technically? Were they together, for real?), but what did actually happen? They kissed? And that's a tragedy how? Yeah, yeah, it's bad and they can't communicate, but he makes it sound like they started having sex and Dale suddenly backed out as soon as he was inside Tim or whatever. Yeah, I'm all confused about everyone in here. Also, scratch that previous statement about HIV, "if Helen has any concerns, direct her to me". So he isn't actually HIV positive, but there were false rape allegations (that were also proven false)?

I think the idea of Dale being HIV positive might have been more interesting, idk. And that he got it from one of those dudes & that's why the families don't talk and why Dale avoids him. And again, Dale didn't have to tell Helen anything? Besides maybe about kissing Tim. *sigh* Oh, the drama out of basically nothing.

And Helen was definitely more concerned about Dale 'messing around' with Tim than with the allegations. Oh, I can't wait to finish s1 and get back to my natural habitat. This show is so much from every point of view. And I saw people talking about Dale and Helen marrying in s2, dreaming about or whatever, and: are you for real? They are a mess. They don't work together. They don't even match. What wedding? They don't know how to talk to each other without tantrums and basically don't know how relationships work. They would be MISERABLE.

Island Part 1 Live Blogging

I didn't watch anything last week because of being overwhelmed and busy for the past 10 or so days but finally I'm ready to once again start a new show when I should be studying.

My main reason for watching this is really just Cha Eunwoo because I miss seeing his face. People seem to really like his character and say his acting improved so I'm even more excited. I wanted to start Korean sff shows anyway so might as well start here even though I got spoiled for a biiiiig thing that happens at the end of S2 and also people's reactions have been like good but not great.

Ep 1 (Mar 14)

ah they're toast

oh they're not speaking Korean

hello my beloved Eunwoo

i never know whether to trust this type of old man who is the lady's father's butler man and is some sort of mentor to her as well

oof the wedding dress monster killed and ate someone?

isn't there gonna be a fuss about the dead body

ah so the lady is a reincarnation of the woman in the white dress who previously died? and the man is the one who's been living at Tamara since then?

olden times Jeju - the guy was a child and was forced to become half human half demon. where's the other kid who became that way too

oh bulter sir where are you going and what did the student see?

lol we already saw the man being selfish and self-absorbed so that's not doing anything for me but ig he's also gonna become a demon now? also i originally thought the assistant who she told to look into those two men was him but ig it's a different man

A pretty meh first episode tbh

Ep 2 (Mar 14)

damn they really did this shit to the children

beautiful beloved Cha Eunwoo <333 I am very fond of him

oh the bulter mans is Miho's protector

the slug things are so fucking disgusting

these action scenes are so boring because they go on for too long, I don't care enough about Miho, it's only ep 2 so I know she's not gonna die or really get hurt, and the immortal guy is gonna come save her each time like bro move on why are the action and chase scenes so long

yknow I find Miho endearing when she's praying to God, Buddha and being nervous to go to sleep and her nervous mannerisms when the man in the dark comes to her room and I think it reminds me of Saras played by Ae in PS I Hate You

actually she's endearing when she's trying to get Van to sign the contract

damn is Van the one who killed Miho in her past life

also pretty meh for me, I don't care about the action, but I'm glad to see a bit more of Eunwoo and also I'm starting to be endeared by Mino

Ep 3 (Mar 14)

why the fuck is there a domestic abuse plotline fucking hell It's like I gotta either watch women being terrorized by men or turn to watch BL where they also sometimes treat women as evil caricatures like I can't

fucking hell and blackmailing her with her nsfw photos too I actually am so fucking annoyed why can't I fucking watch just a fantasy show

this is so fucking sad bro

I love Yeon-ji already

if Yeon-ji or Suryeon actually die or anything I'll be so fucking mad btw

(Linguistics) ahh I love Johan tryna get away with using banmal and referring to Miho as chingus but being shut down lol can't wait to hear him say noona

I don't care about the romantic hints toward Miho and Van whatsoever tbh

(Linguistics) please the way Miho is all wide-eyed and belatedly adds the -yo when she asks if he's really a priest

Johan is so cheeky I love him

Suryeonnnnnn if Bujille does something to her I'm gonna kill this show

nah the better save suryeon

the failed exorcism was pretty cool

This ep finally picked up. I'm glad we get our characters around each other now and some interesting things have started to happen beyond just "oh monster chases Miho and Van saves her." Most of all, I love Johan being daring and cheeky and beautiful and fun and eager.

Not a super big fan of female suffering due to an abusive boyfriend and threats of nudes/nsfw photos being leaked though like I wish it was just something else.

3 eps in a day oof

Ep 4 (Mar 15)

oh was the light-haired guy the other half-demon from the old days

omg the big devil tree-looking monster being maneuvered by Lee Suryeon

I know it's supposed to be funny that Johan was choking while Miho and Van were arguing but :) I dislike such incompetency and callousness for the sake of humour like first of all Johan was trying to help Miho, second of all we're supposed to think Van doesn't gaf but it's not like we're supposed to think Miho is like that too considering she's trying to convince Van to save Suryeon - so it's annoying that she has no worries about Johan

It's so fucking boring that we're on episode 4, both Van and Johan get to do cool action things and even if Johan gets caught, he can hold his ground for a bit with his cool sword, while Miho has yet to even improve in her hiding/escaping/running away techniques despite already being good at fighting and training. If she was at least able to get through to Suryeon with kindness or whatever, that'd be like something but she can't do that either and yells for Van constantly like okay I'm bored

well okay at least she got to speak to Suryeon and I guess some fucking light inside her made the Benjulle disappear

Ah Johan is so irritating when dealing with Van, ah so endearing

oh van calling upon Benjulle again for Suryeon's revenge

heh Van and the Gramma testing each other are so cute

did Johan leave the shrimp croquettes for Miho or is he just gone to the bathroom and will find them gone lol

I don't fully understand why Johan's doing this with Van? to test his strength? and also he wants his name? Edit after reddit thread reading: Someone said he wants to bring out the demon so that he can see if Van can control it enough so that the prophecy of him killing Miho again will come true or not. He left the shrimp croquettes so that she'd be busy eating those and not come looking for the two of them. that makes sense.

oh this is how Van had previously killed her. by his demon side coming out and stabbing her. oof Johan what have you done

A more interesting episode. I wish we got to see the weirdo abusive ex being ripped to shreds at least a little bit or maybe his dead body since we got to see Suryeon's bruised face and her vulnerable photos.

The Johan and Van fighting was pretty cool, one of the action sequences that I thought was actually fun because it involved things more than just chasing or saving Miho.

Also, I'm at least glad that Miho's rich and has connections because otherwise she'd be so fucking useless but then again, she's pretty useless with it too. She didn't seem to give a fuck when Yeomji first came to tell her that Suryeon was being abused, so I didn't think the 'empathy and kindness' would be her forte the way it is for so many female leads but then after she saw the state Suryeon was in, she did start to care more. I thought her having money would mean maybe she could actually get revenge for Suryeong but in the end, Van had to ask Bujille for help. Miho can't save herself which is irritating still 4 episodes in especially when she's been shown to know how to fight but she also can't help Suryeon much despite her status and money. What the fuck can she do by herself then except whatever pureness is inside her and whatever the prophecy will dictate?

I wish we got better-written, more interesting female characters. Yeom-ji is interesting so far, maybe she'll appear more later

Ep 5 (Mar 15)

blocked by own arm is expected

oh our affable Johan has shaking hands

I love the horror aspect of the tourist murder and organ extraction, please have more scary things

Miho fr went outside by herself in the woods after 1) the Dujille incident and 2) the Van incident? girl you are generally useless, why would you fucking do that

oh she's tracking Van's phone

Miho sounds stupid as hell with the "you promised to protect me and you did :>" like at least make her be like i believe you will overcome it or like something that doesn't sound so naive

and i wish they didn't have a romance because it doesn't make sense

pls not all the girls following behind Johan because he's so beautiful and he's relishing in that for sure oh this priest

Johan's a priest right, he likes girls fawning over him but he's not gonna fall for Miho right? I don't want another romantic line

Suryeon and Yeomji are fr best buddies, so cute I love them T.T

omg give me Johan backstory right now

so the Fox Demon is extracting livers until he finds 'his' and is aided by the evil half-demon? and then sometimes sliced up?

so this is Johan's brother at current time?

Guntan is the other half-demon

no but what exactly did that call that Johan got tell him? that they can't find his brother yet?

we're spending too much time at this orphanage and thinking about what Johan would say to his brother, so I... somehow doubt they'll actually get to meet oh no

girl this is so lol like Sujin's fiance probably gonna die and Johan's brother probably gonna die

like first of all after the lust demons have nearly killed her multiple times + Suryeon's lust demon infested Bunjille due to it trying to Miho, I feel like Miho should have enough brain cells to be like actually don't come near me

oh the husband died but at least Johan got to meet his brother; though he may die soon too who knows

Ep 6 (Mar 15)

more Johan and brother backstory

oh they're adopted by white people who have a sick child.... omg

they're gonna fucking do something to the kids T.T

I don't fully understand what happened but did they try to get Johan's brother's liver for their sick child? is that why he was sick also before they took Johan away? but why was Johan also clutching his stomach and blood on his shirt? Did the operation with the older sibling and white child not work so they tried it with Johan too? Is this white sick child the one searching for the liver now as the Fox Demon or smth? or is it Johan's brother since his liver would be missing, though that doesn't quite make sense with what happened with those other people that the brother worked with right?

ah the siblings are having a heart to heart but uhhh I feel like the "let's stay together" yearning of Johan is not gonna be long-lived

oh fuck the brother is so definitely working for Guntan or something rip

oh did Wonjeong betray Guntan and Van somehow? or accidentally betray them but Guntan believes she did it on purpose?

oh beautiful stag? reminds me of Shadow and Bone

why the hell on earth would Miho leave her friend at the funeral crying alone like

I so don't give a fuck about Van and Miho irritates me

oh the brother Chan-hee can't remember killing those people while he's a lust demon?

ah fuck Chan-hee asking Johan to kill him T.T

bro first I felt emotions for Suryeon and now Johan T.T poor guy

filing a teary Eunwoo on his knees looking desperate for later when I'm not feeling sad for him and he's not a priest

ah fuck desperate, desperate Johan but the lust demon wants to kill Wonjeong/Miho

poor fucking Johan really having to kill his brother

my beloved Johan nooo T.T

wait a second were there scenes after the title card each time?

oh Guntan has a fucking cult

oh what the fuck my beloved Yeom-ji T.T

Also, the thing that Chan-hee was getting and saying "It's not mine" is probably kidney and not liver lol I thought liver because they said that's what the Fox Demon stole but Chan-hee was not that.

Overall Thoughts:

The main female lead was whatever, wish she was just good at something. Whether it be at fighting demons (understandable that she isn't), was fighting back via kindness and empathy (I'll be forever floored that she's apparently feeling soooo much for fucking Van while her reaction to being told about Suryeon's situation was like hmm whatever just tell the cops), actual power due to her status/wealth/connections (but she couldn't even fucking put the abusive ex behind bars and couldn't keep her promise to Suryeon to get revenge for her and then dared to be like 'hmm idk how I feel about this' when Van got him killed), or her smarts (miss girl kept going everywhere in the woods by herself, including in the dark; she couldn't tell her friend to not come to her at night like this). She's not the worst ever because she can still stand up for herself and she has personality but I mourn that they've written her like this. I also just hate that the only other girl we've paid any significant attention to was Suryeon and I had to see her go through an abusive relationship; why can't we get some cool suffering, why do I have to see girls and women be tortured at the hands of men in this way every time?

Van is just fucking boring and I don't care. He's kinda cool but like he's not fun or interesting or endearing or tunning at my heart strings (except him as a child when he was being abused as he was trained T.T)

My beloved Johan <3333 Cha Eunwoo was my main reason for keeping an eye on this show since I watched True Beauty and was into Astro for a few weeks. He did so well <33 I liked his charming, cocky, beautiful character who was so intrigued by everything going on as if he really was 20 and curious about everything but also I liked his apprehension when it came down to it. The storyline with his brother was so T.T He had him for such a short time and it was so sad seeing him trying to do everything to save him and yet having to kill him in the end.

Also curious to see the evil brother half-demon Guntan and his sidekick niece Yeom-ji. They're both pretty cool compared to our 2 main characters. The Certified Noonas were talking about how cool Guntan is and all I could think about was "So, what if he's the devil, Rick? At least the devil has a job. At least he's active in the community." because mans is really active and murderous and a cult leader.

I wish the show flowed better in terms of the sequence of scenes and pacing and the main characters were more intriguing.

Rating: 6/10

The redhood nightwing fight scenes look like they're gonna be dope af like thats all I'm thinking about how awesome the fight scenes are (hopefully) gonna be (I'm already finding it difficult to see this jason as redhood cuz he's like literally a child but I dunno what age he redhooded in the comics so??)

I had no idea tim was even gonna be in it !?! Can I please get some kind of recognition from the batboys that they actually view each other as brothers and family! 😢

Someone needs to kill the joker It'd be kinda interesting if old bruce killed joker and it'd be nice if that was the last thing he did as batman buuuttt then again it'd be a nice touch if dick killed joker for jason, it would personally be disappointing if joker was just let live not gonna lie i really want bruce to kill him and that be the reason he gives up being batman because he failed to protect jason and then he broke his no killing thing so he just hangs up the cape

we are getting FEAR TOXIN yassssss cue awesome nightmare ish fearscapes (no idea if that's an actual word but that's what I call when you get to see everyone's fear hallucination)

Kory I love you, I do ship dickkory however I feel like she's too good for dick and should marry me instead lol I wanna see how donna is still alive? and I know there's people who are like ughh hank dawn go away already but I really freakin like hank and dawn as characters even though their suits are ridiculous did they break up last season I can't remember? Hank needs a break poor man someone give him a blanket and a hug and let him sit the fuck down everybody leave hank alone

That line where babs is like don't try be your father and dick is like excuse me what you saying there Commissioner Gordon, that will never not be funny 😅😅😅

I ain't in love with this show it has so much potential it could be so lit but I do like it anndd they got suits now whoop!

Wait is this my previous Titans anon? (The one where we ranted about Jason, or the one thinking they hadn’t seen S2 but went to watch it and realized they had? Or are you the same person? xD )And if so are you the same one who asked for the comic and fic recs? Just wondering in terms of if I’m talking to one person or not hahaha

But ahh I got so excited when I saw I got an ask about this 😍

Omg the nightwing red hood fight already got me so stressed lol. It looks great but ahh angst! But I think Jason is like 19ish in most versions when he comes back? Though tbh I forgot what age Jason is in this , I’ll have to see when i rewatch it soon. Curran, the actor, is actually 23, he just looks super young/short. He got pretty buff though. But yeah, that is an unfortunate thing wi the them rushing it already but also, I’d rather have it like this than if they were gonna spread it out through the seasons then it gets cancelled or something (poor Gotham s5, RIP). I think he was the PERFECT robin jason Todd though. Like I love his acting and portrayal of Jason(“Titans are back bitches!” classic Jason), he just is young looking and short. Gosh I still wanna know if they are going with the Lazarus pit for Jason or not! But like that also begs the question of whether they are doing a time skip cause normally Jason is dead for like 2-3ish years, but it doesn’t look like it from the trailer.

And yes, I’ve been looking forwards to Tim!!! While the trailer didn’t show it, the actor was on set a lot over these last couple of months (I’ve been keeping up with their instagrams xD) and seemed super close with the cast! I can’t believe the first look we got if Tim was him nearly crying, though that look already won me over, I love him and he is my son now. But RIGHT! That’s all I want, is the bat bros platonic love, gosh dang it😭 that’s all we want DC😭

BRO! OLD MAN BRUCE KILLING JOKER WOULD BE FREAKING PERFECT. Dang it! Now I’m gonna be so disappointed if that doesn’t happen 🤣gosh it would be perfect, and normally I would be like it’s Bruce, they would never do that, BUT, this show does that kind of “edgy” stuff anyway so if it’s ever gonna happen(without the Batman who Laughs plot line happening(which would make a perfect dc animated movie btw)), it would happen in this show, especially with what was shown in the trailer with him giving Batman up. Man, now my hopes are up for that xD though I wouldn’t mind if Dick killed him. I would be shocked though if they had the balls to actually kill off joker though, dc seems to refuse to do that :/

Omg I squealed at the scarecrow part omg. Dr freaking Crane is a big reason I spiraled down this entire fandom tbh. Like literally a year ago I got obsessed with him for some reason and that led into the Bat hole where I am currently WAY deeper than I ever would have thought 😂 and while I’m not hyper fixated on him anymore, I still love him so much and is my 2nd fav rogue, and it mainly started with Jonathan 🥺 we barely even see his face and I am already in love with the casting, the voice is perfect. And I LOVE when villains have to help the heroes, that is like one of my fav tropes ever omg, I was really hoping they were gonna do that to him. I hope he is in it for more than one episode tho. And oh lordy, like those poor Titans need even more trauma in their lives and now fear gas is in the equation. Oh no, I bet poor Gar is gonna get hit cause they just love to torture that poor boy. And tbh I hope the fearscapes(perfect word for it) will be better than most of the Gotham ones, those seemed a tad cheesy tbh

Lmao about you and kory😂 she is too good for him, but also, this Dick needs someone who can kick his ass and get his head out of his martyr butt 😂 tho tbh, I’m still not fully sold on Dickkory, Like I don’t hate it but I don’t LOVE it in many versions, like they can be cute but no strong feelings, the Original Teen Titans cartoon is like the only exception, I def ship those 2

Omg I low key forgot Donna “died”😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I feel like I knew it wouldn’t last so it didn’t have a big impact on me lol. Like I had/have a feel raven is gonna bring her back. I wanna know what happened to Rose/Joey! Like are they not gonna be in it at all? Especially with Jason going off the deep end?!

Lmao, hawk and dove’s suits😂 I think they did break up, I’ve only seen the series once through tbh, planning to rewatch before S3 tho(and try to force my mom to watch it tho she is convinced everything DC is too dark for her lmao), yeah, I don’t mind them, like I don’t want the focus on them but like they deserve to be happy/need a break, omg yes! That boy needs to be wrapped in a blanket and given a break, that grumpy boy is TIRED. Let him rest!

Lmao! That babs line is so great😂

I’m just so excited for all this live action Batfam content, considering the live action movies NEVER give us Batfam 😭(we aren’t talking about the 80’s/90’s live action robin lmao)

Also so sorry this was so long 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

my friend i am here with the self insert oc sam parallel episode, i have a history exam tomorrow and i refuse to revise in favor of writing this. let me take you on a journey.

this is very self indulgent and spans kind of the entirety of the series (because im nosy and want to be involved in every cool plot) so im not gonna embarrass myself OR bore you but the general gist of the first episode is this:

i am an 18yr old psychic kid raised by a hunter, meeting the boys in s2 through a “my father was also murdered by a ghost of his past”, except he did not immediately assume i am the antichrist while i was an infant and raised me relatively normal, thus demonstrating that john winchester was a fucked up parent because he allowed himself to be.

i am what sam could’ve been and he is once again reminded that all he ever wanted was to be normal and loved and how that was taken away from him, unfairly. he is angry. he is jealous. he feels bad about being jealous because “her dad’s dead, what the fuck,man”. he wants me to be ok, ultimately, ofc he does, but he doesn’t understand why i got it, why he didn’t, why couldn’t john do it. this serves as more material for soul-searching bc i am a firm believer that understanding the circumstances of abuse and neglect and wrapping ur head around them helps lift the guilt we often burden ourselves with: it’s not that if sam had been a better son john would have loved him more, it’s that john refused to look at sam for what sam really was: a child wracked by generational trauma and unprocessed grief, whose autonomy was violated before he could say his first word, in need of love, and chose to instead look at sam through his own grief muddied goggles and link him to mary’s death. insane how this is turning into sam analysis isn’t it.

i am also angry because im still sort of a child but not really, not anymore, im on the cusp of adulthood and going into it knowing that the world is unfair and hateful, grief is written all over me and sam thinks oh nono, because hope’s kind of the whole point isn’t it, and i had it and now it has been taken from me along with my parent and sam feels so alone and furious with everything, he’s plagued by skull cracking demonic visions, and he doesn’t want this idealized version of himself to ultimately end up like the version of himself that he is now, the one he doesn’t understand, the one he’s afraid of. he’s looking in a weird funhouse mirror, sees a kid who was different like he was but was cherished, and sees her end up in the same position he is now: fatherless, on a quest for revenge. he thinks that if we get the monster of the week, ill be better and he’ll find his hope in that. all roads lead to rome but he wont allow this one to reach the colosseum (defying destiny theme, hello).

the monster of the week hunt begins thusly, with sam generally uncomfortable. i confide in him about my psychic abilities and i explain to the brothers that i can help. both are opposed, but i am a chaotic little bitch and get involved anyway. throughout my involvement, sam learns more about the world of psychic mediums and thinks aha! hope! maybe if i dig deep enough (whore for lore amirite babes) ill find someone who’s lived an experience similar to mine! miss oc what are ur book recs for “i think i am psychic and terrified of it” and i say “fear not nerd have a very small cup of coffee and let me tell you about this great college course on divination”. this is relevant because i wanted to see more of sam desperately trying to fit into some sort of community, even a community of supernatural folk john and dean might’ve disapproved of, and finding that, at this point in time, he does not. he’s an outsider to normal people, he’s an outsider to those in contact with the paranormal. really hammer in that freak (affectionate) tagline. (he WILL build a safe haven in the men of letters bunker for all misfits in his adulthood, party city wig sam i do NOT perceive you)

the hunt culminates in an impressive showdown that includes the following: pyrotechnics, a cool spell, seeing things that aren’t really there, the power of friendship and a butter knife thrown like a frisbee. at the end we all look like final girls because im gay so blood is sexy. sam, who has come to regard me like a younger sibling/some sort of manifestation of his inner child, learns what it’s like to be deeply concerned with a youth’s safety and has a heart to heart with dean about how yeah, handling a teenager with incredible amounts of simmering rage and unprocessed grief while being barely equipped for any guardian-like role IS hard, man, is this what it felt like every time i busted out a batshit plan last minute and barely executed it in time to survive??? “yeah. bitch” “jerk.”

the epilogue is as follows: we see sam feeling many complicated things, but he is satisfied for the moment. we have a little heart to heart while laying flowers on my father’s grave. we both look a little worse for wear, but hopeful. “what’re you gonna do now?” “im not sure. college, maybe?” we keep in touch. i go on to art school and make homoerotic art pieces, as is my right. i make guest appearances whenever they need a deus ex machina bs spell to get out of trouble.

maybe in later seasons i go a little ape shit and commit some magical atrocities in the name of the greater good. maybe i get a little antagonized and he gets to offer me the understanding he couldn’t get when he needed it. i see you, sam, treating all misfits in later seasons with kindness, and i offer you a claire-like parallel to be there for through the tough times, thus healing some of your own wounds. everyone deserves an angsty wlw teenager to bond with . (i am only on season 9 of my rewatch and i have not seen seasons 12-15 in their entirety, if he does get one im not disrespecting that character and i love them probably)

the boys hit the road. vienna by billy joel plays, because it makes me feel things.

Slow down you're doing fine

You can't be everything you want to be before your time

Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight

Too bad, but it's the life you lead

You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need

Though you can see when you're wrong

You know you can't always see when you're right

You got your passion, you got your pride

But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true

When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

end scene.

this is poetry. i will cherish this forever thank you for sharing with me and good luck on your exam

Okay done with the great! What an emotional rollercoaster!!! I'm going to be watching Walnut Season for the rest of my life. What an episode! When they finally fucked 😌😌 the sexual tension was killing me.

I absolutely, ridiculously hated the ending of the Gillian Anderson storyline.

But otherwise I really liked this season! Catherine is the naive badass queen she should be! Marial and Grigor kinda makes sense? Why is George? Arkady and Tatyana is soo funnyy! The scene where arkadys son curses Peter and then he apologises to the kid for trying to kill him? How is it both funny and heartwarming to see Peter change?

Elizabeth remains my favourite, with Marial close behind. This whole season is so crazy. Also the fact that catherine decided to coup again because of how the serfs were burned and then when trying to do something she herself has to kill a lot of serfs, just wow. And the scene where svenska killed shaky I was absolutely bawling. She was an old lady, doing nothing, and it was just so sad. The catharsis I felt when she was killed!

I wasn't entirely sure of the pregnancy arc, but it played out very well in S2 so I'm okay with it. So glad the Swedes are here now. And what is up with orlo? Velementov, I completed understand, but orlo is just off

It was such an ending! I really really hope there is a season 3. This got longer than expected. Cannot wait for more

pleaseee i cannot get over that you've already finished the entire series lmfaoo (we were just talking about season 1 finale yesterday!!!) props to you anon! walnut season was lowkey spoiled for me bc i saw a gifset before i got to that episode but man it is just as good😮‍💨 like the little build up from the carriage scene where she admits that he knows her and basically confirm that she loves him i LIVE for that shit‼️ and the gillian anderson storyline is just sooo unhinged that it works??? i think they definitely brainstormed on ideas for peter to do that will be so unforgivable and atrocious that would make catherine have to kill him? and this certainly makes the whole thing so much more complicated and difficult, can't say i like it either though *silent scream* also your comment about orlo: i was disappointed of his arc this season too... i think he has such a great buildup in season 1 and idk why they lose all that potentials and momentum in s2 it's a little frustrating tbh. anyway, thank you for joining in with me on this journey/madness (and sharing your thoughts <3) and let's see if we'll get a season three so we can scream together again💘💋
