[spaceagebachelormann]

zigmar i come to you humbly on this fine evening with the simple request that you give me some sort of might duck sustenance por favor and muchas gracias

✧ m.list — nav.

♡ charlie conway !

the most insane taste in music literally ever

bro goes from madonna to death metal SO FAST

but ngl his playlist is always the best and he always gets to play music whenever u go anywhere

but oh my god he’d love pierce the veil in present day

HES ALSO LIKE SOMEHOW AMAZING AT MATH. but he cannot do science for literal shit

also his clothing style changes js like his music taste

will literally be kurt cobain one day and morrissey the next (hed hate morrissey though)

♡ adam banks !

every team sleepover/event/literally anything could js be a spontaneous hangout is always at his house

it’s because he’s rich and his house is huge as fuck and he has every board game known to man

just do not play uno because a fight always breaks out (charlie is always part of it)

he’s always the one who ends the fight also

he has this very calming presence that’s so nice to be around and him js talking to whoever got into a fight immediately helps calm them down

also weirdly good at comforting in the middle of the night but never during the day??

♡ lester averman !

he would watch full house religiously prove me wrong

his favourite character is obviously joey because they are one in the same

everyone on the team and their mother has been forced to watch full house while he’s been at their house/vice versa

he can also cook like. decently well !! it’s not something he’d prefer to do but he will for his friends if they’re tired or smth

♡ fulton reed !

this little shit

he is so unbelievably competitive over the smallest things it’s actually insane

typa guy to race u to see who can get to one side of the room first and start genuinely tweaking if he doesn’t win

at sleepovers he refuses to fall asleep first even if it’s just by a few minutes

he could be dead to the world but still have his eyes open cause he refuses to let u win (unless ur his s/o cause he might consider it that way)

♡ connie moreau !

she is definitely a theatre kid idc

her favourite musicals are probably grease, hairspray and heathers

she likes female main characters!!

everytime she gets into a new fandom she immediately starts thinking abt what it’d be like a musical and probably wanted to be a composer at some point

would 100% beg to use the aux on a road trip and then blast hamilton loud as balls

she wholeheartedly believes six is a top tier musical and she will DIE on this hill

(fun fact i’ve met andrea macasaet <3)

♡ guy germaine !

modern day guy would’ve loved basic white girl music

“life is too short to pretend to hate taylor swift” —him

also 100% a britney spears girlie. and nsync and every stereotypical white girl artist

but i wholeheartedly believe britney would be his favourite and he has her whole discography on cassette, cd, vinyl, u name it he has a britney spears collection

also his ass is NOT straight 💀 i’ve never met a straight man who listens to britney spears

♡ julie gaffney !

lowkey a regina george multitude if she wasn’t kinda. yk. a bad person

she’s a mix of cher and regina

everyone at the fancy ass boarding school literally loves her because she’s calm, smart pretty nice etc etc she’s just a really great person to be around

shes that one student who has every assignment finisher a week early, all a’s and 100% in every subject WITHOUT being mean abt it!!

her ass is friends with the whole student population and knows every well and knows all the drama but won’t tell everyone if she thinks it’s too personal (it’s it’s random petty nonsense she tells the team)

♡ ken wu !

secretly rlly good friends with julie but nobody knows even though they do not try to hide it at all

literally wander the halls talking abt whatever just for everyone to be like “y’all are friends???”

also this man secretly loves lana del rey

him and julie will sit on his bedroom floor and literally tell him the most insane and jaw dropping gossip she heard that day while lana is playing in the background

everytime someone asks his favourite lana song he says grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s deep-sea fishing on did you know that there’s a tunnel under ocean blvd to fuck with them

♡ dean portman !

is actually very very good at math!!

he was a tutor for the 9th/10th graders for a bit to get volunteer hours and also cause he just likes doing math

you’d expect it to be like doing homework with ur dad and the poor kid is in tears while deans like “WHATS NINE. TIMES TWO.” but he’s actually surprisingly patient

if he’s explained something a few times and they still don’t get it he’ll just try it a different way until they get it and work them through the problem

has rlly strong relationships with the 9th and 10th graders cause of this and is essentially their older brother figure

the amount of 14/15 year olds that he’s given relationship advice too is insane (id be one of the 14 year olds probably)

♡ luis mendoza !

his type is secretly quiet girls cause he finds them rlly interesting and likes the thought of them being happy around him but quiet around everyone else

he’s like yes girl be urself with me

it all stemmed from the girl he liked in 8th grade who helped pick up his pencils when she accidentally knocked his pencil case out of his hand (she was a quiet nerdy girl)

like a whole year later and he’s still trying to rizz her up 💀

he’s one of those guys who takes forever to lose feelings

the girl is actually good friends with him btw

♡ dwayne robertson !

i feel like he is fucking AMAZING at baking

his icon is dolly parton and he heard berry pie so he immediately learned how to bake

if someone he knows has a birthday he either bakes the birthday cake or brings them something he made depending on how close he is with them

and holy shit it’s the most amazing thing u will ever taste and nothing will ever compare

yes he’s one of those guys who will go on an 18 minute tangent on how amazing dolly parton is if someone talks shit about her (same i love dolly)

General season 2 opinions. MASSIVE TDI 2023 season 2 spoilers ahead (as well as a huge wall of text.) You've been warned.

Ok, so here's everything I like about the season (I can count them on my fingers)

-There were some funny jokes

-MKulia was entertaining and it's now in my top 5 favorite ships, but it's not perfect, as I'll explain later

-Hockey dudes were a joy to watch I suppose

-Bowie stole the show as usual

-There are a lot of neat challenges (The canoe, slide, and dog challenges was a particular stand outs to me)

-MK herself was really funny

-MacArthur's cameo was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, and she bounces off of Chris really well

-Duncney is still broken up lol

Honestly that's about it in terms of positives, cuz I have a million other negatives for this supposed sequel to (imo) the best written season of the show.

-The Relationships were the single worst aspect about this season full stop. Ripaxel and Praleb are probably the worst couples the show has ever subjected me to. For Ripaxel, they basically removed anything interesting Ripper had going on and Axel wasn't allowed to live up to any kind of hype she created because one lame ass poem turned her into Ripper's girlfriend for the remaining duration of her run, only for the both of them to be tossed aside in episode 7 in perhaps the worst double elimination in the entire show.

-Praleb started off ok. I thought it was gonna be a one-sided crush plot initially before Episode 6. They had a couple cute moments before episode 8, of which their screentime became suffocating because afterwards is was this painful back and forth where Caleb tried explaining himself and Priya would be mad at him, then ally with him, then be mad at him again like it was so tiresome. By the time they got together in the finale again, I was wishing they had just followed up on Pramien instead. Caleb by himself was funny in the first half of season 2 and Priya was great in season 1, but the two of them together were insufferable

-Speaking of Priya, she went from one of the best characters in season 1 to one of the worst in season 2. Why did she have to make it all the way to episode fucking 12 after winning season 1?? Just for some generic heterosexual romance? They also made her so dumb with shit like knowing Julia is manipulating her but then getting a surprise Pikachu face when Julia manipulated her??? You spent your entire life preparing for this show, how the fuck did you not see this coming???

-Segwayying into Julia, she's the worst antagonist full stop. I've never seen such an absolute downgrade of a character. She was a goat in season 1 who was aware of her situation and acted accordingly because the stakes were real. Here? Reality basically warps around her just to keep her in the game. She does things characters would never fall for in season 1 and they just go with it?? They insist on keeping her in the finale and do basically nothing interesting with her. She's not even as funny as Island Heather at the end of the day.

-I mentioned MKulia earlier, so I'll just get to it here: I like it in concept. Two evil sapphics causing chaos together is really fun. My main issue is that it was very sudden. They both were not fans of each other at the end of season 1 and now I'm supposed to just believe they became friends off screen? I mean, I guess, but it's kinda cheap. I would have really liked it if it was straight up enemies to lovers ngl. Also the fact MK had very little agency outside of being Julia's lackey doesn't help either. I want to point to the fake contract thing, for instance. Why did Julia do that? That sounds like an MK thing to do.

-Time to dive into other characters: Damien is an absolute fucking tragedy. At the end of season 1, Damien had one ambition: win next season. They kinda did that, sure, but they regressed Damien into being a complete coward to do so, not to mention he didn't even go all the way either. Damien didn't get a W until episode 6 and tbh that was his only W. By the end of his tenure, I was left confused on what the point of his run was. (I'll come back to this later.)

-What was the point of Nichelle? Like seriously, what did she contribute to the season at all? They didn't do the ironic underdog story with her, and considering she was getting all egotistical and aggressive, i thought she was gonna be the antagonist for sure...until Julia got rid of her in episode 5 in a way that really shouldn't make sense cuz like Nichelle is an actual celebrity that stars in blockbuster movies, I'm pretty sure she could sniff a fake contract a mile away, right?

-Hockey dudes were great, but I felt like they were very dumbed down at times? Like they were just generic dumb dudes that just meandered around a lot of the time (Wayne in particular just straight up floated away from a challenge at one point)

-Bowie was alright too. His line delivery is great as usual, but let's not kid ourselves: In a well written season, he'd be going straight for Julia the next time his team lost. Bowraj was nice to see even if the season didn't really do a whole lot with it

-Am I the only one who thinks this season is a tad bit misogynistic? Like this is the shortest them phase the show as ever had (to the point where i'd argue teams don't really matter) and 4 of the 5 team phase boots were girls. Millie and Emma in particular were really bad. Like, you could make Millie a team phase boot without like shitting on her that hard. And Emma got like fuck all closure outside of breaking up with Chase off screen like wow, way to utilize such a high potential character, Fresh. And this is saying nothing about how the girls that did make it to the merge had plots basically dominated by romance and like nothing else. And then there's MKulia which is apparently intended to be a friendship but like is written like a romantic one at times. It gives me all-stars gwourtney vibes and (as a fan of gwourtney myself) not in a good way. At least MK and Julia were somewhat in character I guess, but they had their edges really sanded off and honestly as a friendship (situationship?) it's a complete downgrade from Millie and Priya in so many ways

-And another thing: who's the protagonist this season? Outside of Praleb, who am I supposed to care for? Who am I supposed to root for? By the halfway mark, the show doesn't really make any convincing arguments to root for like anyone there outside of maybe Damien? And he went gone in episode 10, so like, hockey dudes? No one has an interesting enough narrative for me to care.

-The immunity idol stinks as usual. Like, why did Damien do THE SAME FUCKING THING HEATHER DID IN ALL-STARS?? That actually pissed me off so much holy shit. The immunity idol as it stands in the show is basically a shitty plot device made to keep characters in as there's no real strategy revolved around it.

-Oh and another minor thing: Owen's cameo sucks, and that's entirely due to him not being physically aged up at all and just being a vehicle for the same dumb jokes they always make with him. so stupid

-Anyways, I spend an entire season with two shitass straight relationships taking up screentime, a whole multiude of potential plotlines from last season (pramien) and this season (scary girl's revenge, millie being the new ripper, damien's comeback, julia having internal conflict over her friendship (feelings?) for MK) being set up and just nothing being done with them, and characters in general just being nerfed or borderline out of character (Ripper) and what am I rewarded with?

-Soar Losers. The most boring nothing finale in the entire show. The choices for finalists suck, Wayne, while being the least bad option for a winner (and i do still like him a lot), is still a mid ass winner in the grand scheme of the entire show. And more praleb drama? fuck off I hate them so much. The challenge did not feel finale worthy at all, and honestly it was the worst challenge in the whole season. On top of being a bunch of nothing, the show decides to bring back the worst trope it ever had: losing hair as karma. I almost ragequit the episode on the spot that shit makes me so irrationally mad. I think it's even worse here because Julia still had hair after the fact, which makes it seem like they were aware it's not a popular TD trope but wanted to half commit to it anyways for the sake of tradition or something. Terrible finale to an already decently sized letdown of a season, but it has some ok MKulia moments I guess. The finale was just emblematic of the entire season, where things just happen and you're just expected to go along with everything. (Also side note how come Chase wasn't the one to jump off of the cart for pizza immediately?)

TL;DR reboot season 2 imo was a step down in every conceivable way from season 1 apart of i guess comedy and it's left a very sour taste in my mouth. I'm probably missing a few points that I'll add onto later but man it feels nice putting my opinion out there.

Heather Chandler vs Jade, who wins? (in a perfect world, they both do)

You're pinning two bad bitches against each other 💔

(this turned into more of just facts lol)

First, Heathers is set in the 80s while Victorious is set in the 10s. If Heather Chandler had a phone, ohmygod. It would be chaos.

I feel like they'd both fight dirty with each other, I can see Heather taking her earrings out and secretly having a weapon, Jade having her scissors (she wouldn't use them imo) Heather would most likely use her power and money to get rid of Jade, but could probably get physical with her. She's at the top of the food chain, she gets everything she wants, everyone wants her as a "friend or a fuck" in her words, she is a grade A bully. She could pay students to fuck with Jade, so she doesn't get her hands dirty.

Jade could probably physically take Heather, without weapons, but Heather will fight back. There is no way a struggle would not happen, Jade would see Heather as a rich stuck up bitch who needs to be taken down a peg, but I don't think she would go full Jason Dean and kill her. I think she'd get creeped out by him.

Heather is the type to actually stab a bitch while Jade would threaten, then actually stab if things got too serious. Also, they both have daddy issues, so I could end the post here by just that.

The queer coding in both media is strong, I feel like if Tori or Veronica got flirted with, Jade and Heather would be in prison. Both are very hard headed and fucked up in their own ways, they get what they want usually. Imo they'd probably get along at some point, bonding over how they made a kid cry idk.

Heather has a killer by her side though, Veronica has murdered multiple people (technically JD did most of it, but whatever, she was still involved.) She can replicate handwriting, so she can write suicide notes. Heather could win just because of that ngl. Tori has a cop dad, so that could be something, but cops don't do jack shit, so I'm going with Veronica. Jade did hide Tori's blood and give her flowers she was allergic to so she would be the lead, but she hasn't killed anyone to my knowledge.

Jade has a whole friend group, while Heather has a small one of three girls, which she bullies the fuck out of Duke, so they aren't like, friends, but whatever.

Heather sadly wants male validation, so she uses her body, we watch her get SA'ed and the aftermath. That has got to build something up in her, so she lashes out probably way worse than Jade ever could. She spits water at herself, feeling disgusted. You can see her true emotions here, her fear, her just being a kid. She is truly just a kid in a grown up world.

Tori and Veronica could possibly get along, which would force Jade and Heather to get along. Veronica is darker, so idk how well they'd bond.

Jade and Heather drive their girlfriends around lol

This turned into just facts about them lmfao, anyway, I think there would be a decent fight. They wouldn't even have to get physical to cause so much damage, but they have very strong rage, so anything could happen. Jade gets into people's medical records, while Heather could easily do the same. They're both fired up girls who don't take shit from others, they can make others do their bidding and they're smart.

Tori and Veronica are just trying to hold their girlfriends back cause they're fighting like cats. Tori would probably ask her "so... how's your day?" As they hold their girlfriends tightly, Veronica just stares at her with confusion. "Not great."

Mike and Duncan

Duncan and Heather

Heather and Jo

Jo and Cam

Please never be afraid to spam me, I love attention. Gonna put this under a read more so it doesn't get too long.

Cammike

What's better than this, just bros being homies :) The thing I love about the Friendship Finale Gang is that they're all socially inept in their own special ways. I love any combination of these losers. Anyway Mike and Cam had one of the cutest friendships on the show. One thing I noticed about them and love is how casually intimate they are. Like, Mike openly hugs and carries Cam, and I dunno, it's kinda rare to see. Love that for them.

Trike

God put Trent and Mike in different seasons because we didn't deserve to see them as besties ❤ Seriously, it's a crime we never got to see them interact. I know they would've been homies, I know it. Also. Gwoey but let the dudes fuck too.

Gwent

I'm going to strangle Action to death with my bare hands. We could've been so great. Screaming and crying and throwing up, Gwen would never #notmygwen etc etc

They re also the first ship to get a bingo, neat!

Gwoey

Ngl they definitely had something queer going on. Probably because Gwen finally had a friend who didn't lowkey treat her like trash. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Mike and Zoey are unicorn hunters and Gwen is their third, change my mind.

Zocam

Friendship Finale Polycule just keeps winning. You know Cam was thinking it when Zoey was in full girlboss mode, absolutely manhandling him. He is a stronger man than I for not being absolutely bricked up on international tv. I don't have much to say, like every combination of these losers, they are wonderful. (Also they are a great backup if you're like me and ship Mike with like 50 fucking people)

Gwameron

Guuhhhhhh Gwameron my beloved. I firmly believe they are canon and endgame. They were so close the entire season, kissed in the finale and all. Have you seen the way she looked at him??? It is sooo weird to me that other people don't see it. They are like perfect for each other. Historians will say that they were just friends.

And hey, they also get a bingo! (Is it becoming obvious yet what I love most in my ships)

Gwike

(Peggle 2 voice) Gwent....... TWO!

Okay, but in all seriousness, I could absolutely see it. He would treat my girl RIGHT. Like she DESERVES. Especially great if you're like me and headcanon that the thing Gwen really wants in a partner is someone genuine to balance her cynicism.

Mikecan

This is just pussyless Malcan. No but I kinda see the potential. I'll be honest, there IS something appealing about the idea of Duncan being lowkey nervous around sweet ball of sunshine Mike. He is literally just standing there. (Already gave my thoughts on Malcan here)

Uhh... Duneather??

Okay. hear me out. hear me out. Just hear me out. I think they had more interesting potential than Duncney. To me, personally, Duncan is way way way more interesting when he's playing off someone worse than him, rather than when he's paired with someone more moral. Seeing him with characters like Alejandro or Mal will always interest me more that characters like Courtney or Zoey. But I digress, what I'm trying to say is that obviously he and Heather fit into the former category which makes them more interesting to me. The issue is that in most ways, Aleheather is just kinda, better. But Duncan and Heather have one thing Alejandro and Heather will never have: Duncan cheating with Heather would've made way more sense and been a way better storyline than he and Gwen. Also would've given Heather something to fuckin' DO in Action. Once again, Action drops the ball, and no one is surprised.

Fuck man, now you've got me obsessed with this thought. I might have to write up a whole meta about this. (If anyone wants it, that is.)

Jeather (?)

Ahh yes, peek homoerotic rivalry, you love to see it. Gay as hell to argue with another girl. Why you arguing with her, to listen to her beautiful voice? 👀 We we're robbed not getting more of them interacting.

Jocam

Something Something power dynamics, something something inherent eroticism. Kind of a girlboss/malewife dynamic, but make it evil. Not for me, but I see it.

[deadthingposting]

Ofmd rewatch ep 2- a damned man

This counts as a beach episode so we should've gotten at least one long shot focusing on the crews tits

To be honest the fanfic version of Blackbeard made up by Pete it's pretty cool ngl, also it's quite funny how despite hating stede Pete is down to follow him once he realizes stede is the only one buying his bullshit lies

Stede guilt over leaving it's such a central theme so the end was kinda foreshadowed and fuck off this hurts

Oluwande and Jim are so fucking cute, i mean god they are just two dorks in love being awkward together and I love this

Okay I know Lucius said that to try to save himself but I do not believe his mom actually ever believed he liked girls

I don't know how stede was capable to say no to roach when he asked to torture the hostages I mean he was so excited about torturing them, I would've allowed

The introduction of the Blackbeard trio looks too much like every mean girl trio In fiction and this is hilarious it's giving heathers it's giving plastics it's giving channels

The reaction of both stede and Pete once captured was to scream another proof those two are in the same energy but different frequencies

The whole section on the tribe it's fucking hilarious

I had forgotten that oluwande actually breaks Ivan's nose I mean you go girl but also a little unnecessary

The small look we have on Blackbeard's ship makes it look so cool and goth like they have small pieces of black fabric and skulls hanging around it's so awesome

I just realize now that literally all the shit after this point it is literally directly Izzy's fault if that dumbfuck hadn't decided to take the hostages, stede would've probably gotten himself killed and Ed would be his Blackbeard forever, and now I have a theory that Izzy probably pissed off some Greek god to end up causing so much of his own tragedy

This episode was great

Rating- 👻👻👻👻 four ghots of your childhood bully tormenting you over your life choices

[noctfury]

Just saw your reblog about HTTYD through environmentalist lens. What are your HTTYD takes??

Thank you for asking! Buckle up bc I have a few and I know not all of them are gonna be popular.

I'll start on my problems, chronologically in a way.

So, riders/defenders of berk is a great series that I had a blast watching. I think it added some wonderful worldbuilding to the franchise. We got fun dragons, more people in the world than just berk, and of course more of our favorite characters interacting. Really fantastic!

But! (And this really is a nit pick tbh, like my issues with Wagner based vikings and the scottish accents)

There is one episode that I think doesn't do Gobber justice.

The second episode, Viking for Hire, I think makes dear Gobber out as a bit of an idiot. Like, an oblivious idiot. Elsewhere he's characterized as skilled and the right hand man of the chief, but this episode is rather unflattering for him.

And I don't think the issue of "weapons to fight dragons aren't in demand anymore" would put the only full-time blacksmith out of work. He still makes all the prosthetics and buckets and nails and other metal crafts. Stuff still breaks and need repars, at this point dragons are still responsible for more property damage than the twins.

It's basically the weakest episode for ne.

Ok so, Race to the Edge! Started out great, I was hooked fully fir the first two seasons. I was put off a bit when they started reusing bits of existing dragons in the designs, bit that's really just another nit pick bc the series was sort of known for its fantastic and original dragon designs.

And then we got the fuckin shadow wing and singetails.

These are just awful frankly. These feel like some kind of joke.

The shadow wing is so clearly an air plame that it takes me right out of whatever is happening on screen. It doesn't look like it belongs in the world of httyd! It feels like some cartoon toy exec clawed his way out of the 80s to demand that rtte have more toy selling dragon designs. It also doesn't look like it should be able to fly at all, an offense that I have forgiven many a (much cooler looking) dragon for.

And the fucking singetails! This one also suffers from looking like a cheap toy. And re-using dragon parts. Not to mention that the thing that makes this dragon such a threat to our protagonists? It shoots more fire.

That's it, it just has more places it can shoot fire from. Silly places too, like it's armpits!

It's not faster, or smarter, or tougher, or has some other ability that other dragons lack, just... more fire!

Singetails should not have been a big issue for the riders. It made the riders look kind of stupid frankly.

Aaaaannd speaking of making the riders look stupid!

Hiccup, my boy, how could you fall for the first counter espionage trick in the book? I know third graders that wouldn't have fallen for the old 'information leak to one single person' trick. (This is also kind of on Heather ngl, all she had to do was mention the plan to another dragon hunter and Viggo wouldn't be able to know who the leak was smh)

The final couple of seasons I think don't really do hiccup justice. It feels like, in order to make Viggo seem like some sort of excellent strategist, they chose to have hiccup make some dumb choices instead of actually trying to make Viggo clever. (This will come back to shoot the writing time in the foot in the second movie)

And the king of dragons resolution, while fun in theory, uh, resolved in a way that doesn't make much sense? (What are we supposed to conclude happened to that egg? Like yeah Valka took it. But does that mean that the beweilderbeast from the second movie is from that egg? making it only like 3 years old which makes zero sense bc that thing was implied to have been around a lot longer than that. Or was it supposed to be drago's? Which also makes no sense bc last we saw it Valka had it. And again, only about 3 years between the end of rtte and httyd2. Or do they just have the egg somewhere and it never came up again???)

I wasn't really happy with how this show ended.

On to my issues with the second movie!

First half of this movie is golden and perfect, you can't change my mind. The second half however...

My issue starts with mind-controlled Toothless and Stoic's death. Bc that's where things in this franchise really start to lose the themes for me.

I don't have a problem, really, with the idea that Toothless gets mind-controlled and kills Stoic before coming out of it thank to Hiccup. No, the problem is that it's inconsistent. Hiccups efforts didn't work the first time, but doing the same thing the second time did? Make it make sense. It doesn't, and not only that! But it also makes Stoics death feel cheap, pointless, tragic, and avoidable. He clearly didn't need to jump in, Hiccup could after all clearly talk Toothless down, so doing so only caused more death than standing back would have.

I also don't think Hiccup should have been Chief. Not that he isn't a good leader. The whole series Hiccup has been chaffing under the idea that he'd have to fill that role, and none of his objections or concerns were really addressed. He kind of activly hates the responibilities and limitations of the position. In fact! While actively avoiding the expectations he's improved things for vikings and dragons! And, if you'll recall my issues with rtte and Hiccup, when they had him trying to look after the welfare of people, he failed more than ever had since before the first movie. Hiccup is not built for hard choices, he's built for optimism.

Astrid should have taken up the role of Viking Chief. She has demonstrated an aptitude and desire to lead vikings. Astrid has a wonderfully strong sense of duty and is a pretty great problem solver to boot. Even when she makes mistakes, she is resolved to them and quickly focuses on how to move forward. She's also Hiccups love interest and it's a foregone conclusion she'd be added to the family so Hiccups family would still be in charge, as if that mattered.

Hiccup would be the chiefs husband, master of dragons, and Berks ambassador. I think those titles suit him much better than Chief.

...

Also like, where were berks allies from rtte during all of this??? (I get the rtte was made after this movie, I understand the doyist reason for them not being here I promise. It bugs me nonetheless)

And finally, let's dig into the mess that is the third movie.

Right of the bat? I really dislike the Lightfury. It's not her fault her design is a horrible decision, I would honestly love her if my standards for dragon designs weren't so damn high for this series. But she doesn't fit here and frankly I'm annoyed by the heteronormitivity of it all. She's also like the 3rd dragon with invisibility and hers is less effective than the other two despite all her hype.

The plot of this movie is also dumb. Grimmel is not a more intimidating villain than Drago, why are you running and not fighting? (And again, what about the beserkers and defenders of the wing and the wing maidens? This movie does not have the excuse the last movie had for not at least mentioning them.)

Also I was right hiccup does kind of suck at being chief.

Sealing all the dragons away! And not even going with them!! Not only is this logistically improbable, (the world is big.) But its also a betrayal of the optimism and messages of the series! The environmentalist take honestly sums it up pretty well.

In conclusion: the third movie was pretty but fundamentally flawed.

Okay, now onto the fun bits that aren't me talking about problems!

Most dragons are actually omnivores, see sage fruit. (Which are totally mangoes)

Most Tidal class dragons are sea serpents, not dragons. (Only found in the sea, cannot fly)

I think the people of berk are decended from vikings who got indefinitely held up by dragons and accidentally settled where they did because of it.

I think Hiccup and Jack Frost should kiss

Rescue riders and Nine Realms don't exist.

ty bestieee

3. What were your top five books of the year? Oh GOD this is so hard lol. I didn't necessarily rate these the highest (like, there's a book that I rated a 4.5 while some of these are a 4 lol but still) but I'm rating this in terms of how much I enjoyed it at the time and think about it afterwards, bc there's some top notch books that I just immediately stopped thinking about lol. Also ignoring anything I reread like Percy Jackson

As Good as Dead by Holly Jackson. You specifically know how much I LOVE the AGGTM series, and man what a conclusion to the trilogy this was. Thank you again for introducing me to this series and making me sick in the head lmao

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I linked the ultimate guide since it's what I read but I'm specifically talking about the first book in the series. I ADORED this book and I'll probably reread it again at some point. It's my ideal comedic book - probably my ideal sci-fi book too tbh lmao

Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. I thought this premise was SO unique and was worried it would end up being a disappointment (especially because as much as I love thrillers, they end up middling for me lol) but I thought this was amazing and fun, and a really unique premise for a thriller!

My Murder by Katie Williams. Again, another really unique concept for a book, of a serial killer's victim who ends up getting brought back to life by the government. It's not a thriller but I think it was marketed as one which is weird? It's a slower-paced book with a bit of mystery and sci-fi. And I fucking loved it lmao.

The Labors of Hercules Beal by Gary D. Schmidt. I was between a few books for this last slot (like Drowning or The Westing Game) but this book was such a great time for me. A middle school read but one that still was enjoyable to me as an adult and had a lot of heart to it.

13. What were your least favorite books of the year? Blegh quite a lot. I love thrillers but I feel like the thrillers I read this year started off strong for me and then tried having plot twists out of fucking nowhere for the sake of a twist. Same mindset about what counts as my least favorite applies as above, but asdfjkl inversed lol:

The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella. I'm ngl, I think it's largely based on how the main's lack of interest in sex was portrayed - without it I think this book would have probably been like, a 3.5 or something. I just didn't love how it was portrayed as her being broken or weird or abnormal - had the book acknowledged that this was something abnormal /for her/ that would have been perfectly fine, but it seemed to be in the sense that "not wanting sex = strange and weird" which just really left a bad taste in my mouth.

The Stepson by Diane Saxon. Some of the worst writing I've ever read imo

The Coworker by Freida McFadden. Just didn't hold me. I thought it was kind of simplistic and the characters were unlikeable, which would be fine if they were fun to read but they weren't lmao

In My Dreams I Hold a Knife by Ashley Winstead: I'm just gonna put the first part of my review in why I didn't love this: "I kind of feel like this book just kept on going. And going. And going. It was just a lot of “so this is why YOU killed Heather” at the end of each chapters."

Perfectly Nice Neighbors by Kia Abdullah. I fully acknowledge that this one probably doesn't deserve to be here, and the fact that it produced such a visceral reaction is probably a compliment? But I hated how I got so attached to characters only for the ending to just. Suck for everyone lmao. Had I known it going into the story I think I would have been okay because I would have mentally prepared myself but it just didn't work for me. I also still think the final plot twist just wasn't great; it felt like a twist for the sake of a twist. Had the ending been different I could have excused that, because I was really invested in this book up until the final act, but it made it so that a book that I was ready to give a 5/5 ended up being rated here lmaooo

END-OF-YEAR BOOK ASK - SEND ME A NUMBER FROM 1-25

Shoutout to Texas Chainsaw 3D for making the cops the bad guys

Sheriff Hooper is the only one I trust and like

You fucking icons

Anyways my love for Leatherface only grows

[thewhizzyhead]

so i'm casting some of the we are the tigers actors in heathers cause why the fuck not woo

Veronica Sawyer - Jenny Rose Baker (SHE HAS A POWERFUL VOICE AND I LEGIT THINK SHE COULD PULL THIS OFF also i would pay a shit ton of money to hear her rendition of either dead girl walking or seventeen)

Heather Chandler - Celeste Rose (if she could play Heather Chandler one day or cover Candy Store THAT WOULD BE GREAT NFJXJD SHE WOULD BE GREAT AS HEATHER C)

Heather Mcnamara - Zoe Jensen (look i adore how she played Farrah so freaking much okay and i believe she would do so freaking well as Heather M also IMAGINE HER LIFEBOAT)

Heather Duke - Wonu Ogunfowora (I Will Pay A Shit Ton Of Money To Have Her Sing 'Never Shut Up Again' plus guys WE KNOW HER VOICE IS SUPER FREAKING POWERFUL SJFJSJ SHE WOULD ROCK THE ROLE altho ngl i kinda wanna see her as heather chandler too? like i wanna see her take on that character gjxjd)

Martha Dunnstock - MiMi Scardulla (I Will Also Pay A Shit Ton Of Money To Have Her Sing 'Kindergarten Boyfriend' ghsjff her rendition of that song would be absolutely amazing! and also I have got to check out more of her singing stuffs cause I actually have never seen her sing outside of WATT so i better get to that woo) (also ngl i think she could also be great as Veronica jdjs i'm just curious on as to how she'll sing dead girl walking)

JD - Louis Griffin (he's the only male principal actor in WATT so um yea but either way i think he'd do really good!!! Like weirdly enough i can imagine him singing Meant To Be Your really freaking well) but if we want this to be a VERY cursed Kateva AU, then Sydney Parra (ngl i just have this feeling that she'll also do good in singing as JD fjcjs)

Kurt and Ram - I Absolutely Refuse To Cast The WATT Actresses As Kurt And Ram.

Bonus Round:

+ Lauren Zakrin played Elle freaking Woods for crying out loud so i have full faith that she can pull off Heather Chandler

+ Kaitlyn Frank would probably rock as Heather Mcnamara but I'm also curious on as to how she'll handle Chandler

+ I Want Cathy Ang As Either Duke Or Mcnamara Please

[gins-potter]

some thoughts about 10x03:

brettsey weren’t the focus on this episode and yet we were still fed soooooooo much

i wouldn’t mind a bit more stellaride though, although i’m sure we’ll get things like them planning the wedding further in the season

casey + griffin

this was definitely my favourite storyline and i’m so excited to see where and how it goes

the domestic scenes at the loft with brettsey and stellaride, visiting the boardwalk from s2, the possibility of casey taking them in again i am just so here for all of it

i know the actor playing griffin isn’t the original but tbh i thought he did a pretty good job considering it’s a pretty emotional storyline and he’s surrounded by very seasoned actors

the scene at the house where andy died might be my favourite, the acting from both was great, i thought the editing and use of the old footage was really really well done, and just oof got me all up in my feels

i’m maybe a little surprised that this is the direction they’re taking heather’s character but it also doesn’t feel inaccurate to who we knew her as in s2

tbh the only beef i have with this storyline is that they clearly fucked with the ages making griffin 6 when andy died when we know he would have been 9 at the youngest - and i almost feel like it was really unnecessary because i feel like they did it so both boys would still be underage but keeping the canon ages, griffin only would have been around 19 and ben definitely would have been underage so ben would still need a legal guardian and i don’t think it’s weird to take griffin in as well since he’s barely legal

severide + cruz

i liked the ending to this storyline but thought the getting there was kind of weird ngl

i totally get that it’s a fine line between trusting your man when he says he’s fine and stepping in if it seems like he isn’t, and that severide has a responsibility to the rest of his crew and the people they help but i find it weird that he took cruz on his word when it was kind of obvious that he wasn’t okay

and then he was really reluctant to talk to him about it which idk i’m not sure was in character for severide? idk.

i am glad that squad came together for him in the end and helped support him

sylvie + paramedicine

mouch and sylvie is honestly such an underrated pairing so i’m always here for this dynamic and mouch helping her with her bag and then going to the chief on her behalf was just the sweetest

the call where the boy died while his mum was ringing him was fucking heartbreaking but casey comforting sylvie later and not even needing to speak and just knowing what she needed was just yessssssss

in general i’m just really here for this storyline and love seeing these women take initiative in the workplace

gallo + cruz + squad

short storyline and no one was really at fault - there was no way gallo was to know what had just happened and cruz is still recovering but i still want to wrap gallo in a blanket and never let anyone be mean to him again

i am glad he’s staying on 81 though, the truck company is pretty depleted when you consider they used to have 6 members and are now down to 4 (with stella actively looking to leave) plus it’s just refreshing not to have a character jet off to squad as soon as they’re able

the millennials + their microbrewery

things are progressing with that which is cool

i need more drunk, giggly, millennials in the future pls

[partyinthemysterymachine]

So THAT is why someone was in tha a&s tags on my blog. Sneaky 👁

ANYWAYS. GIVE ME SOME RANDOM AU LORE. DRAG IT FROM THE DEPTHS BC I WANT IT. now 🔫

(Also dw. Yr in no rush, I'm having the time of my life editing my replies in the docs bit by bit (which i haven't done, actually, im a liar <3))

REACHES AND DRAGS HANDS DOWN UR FACE

theo i love u and always will. a&s is A Place

ngl tho side-eyeing that last a&s post. i'm narrowing my eyes...........

(oh my god goomt pLEASE just write your own library arc im DYING)

chinhands

hey so remember this fun little ditty i wrote a while back--

If Happy Little Bluebirds Fly

--that was actually the pitch of @adreamingofguns but i latched my nasty little teeth into it and ran off into the landfill sunset slobbering and flailing my head around???

??

i do that a lot actually huh. give me an inch and i'll take the Titanic

anyway so i don't remember exactly how much of the pitch was Nick's doing but the point is that i grabbed it and ran lmfao and thus, If Happy Little Bluebirds Fly

i actually re-read my own fics a lot, especially when i'm stuck. i've always been REALLY PLEASED and PROUD of how i wrote If Happy Little Bluebirds Fly so i'll go back to that and try to siphon The Juice from it. well, i was reading it recently (and i tweaked a name in the third chapter for fun Suggestion - can u find it?) and i was ho-humming at the end of the fic.

i'm not really sure if readers understood entirely what happened at the end there, and i never did anything with it - and honestly, i'd never planned to. .. not really, at least. the idea was there. i thought maybe it'd be a fun thing to pursue sometime after GOOMT but hEHh,

so

i'm like. well. what IF, indeed. and ofc this is another AU that'll probably never see the light of day outside my vivid hallucinating while trying to go to sleep or staring into the wild pale yonder (very disco of me tbh), BUT LET'S WORKSHOP IT TOGETHER EH

anyway uh if you haven't read the fic that's chill idk if anyone cares about the ~spoiler~ but SHRUG

RUNDOWN of the fic (in 3 easy chapters i pwommy) is that Harry and James initially meet waaay back in the day when James takes Mary to go see Mary's favorite pianist in concert. (that pianist? Jodi Mason. really makes u think) James and Harry literally run into each other during intermission, small chat, hi Mary! then they go back in. after the show, while James and Mary are waiting for the elevator, the Masons show up to ruin lives and the snowball keeps rolling down the hill.

James and Harry meet in SH and together, bring Heather home. they raise her together, though their relationship is extremely tumultuous, rly kinda toxic lmao, really just. riddled. with Bruh and love and it's disgusting. they love each other and their daughter but there is A Lot that's suggested. ends with them celebrating their anniversary (which is, coincidentally, Heather's birthday!!!)

>:)

but i gave a peek into Mary and James's relationship (and touched Jodi and Harry's relationship on the nose) and that was a lot of fun :3

SO! that's that one pls read and enjoy it it's def a favorite of mine lmao

spoiler: heather gets kidnapped at the end of the fic when everyone's just trying to have a nice fucking day god can't anyone mind their business around here

naturally the au takes place when James and Harry figure this out. 'Silent Hill Is On Its Bullshit' Senses Tingling.

now, quick note is that neither of them were IN Silent Hill the first time for very long at all. their time there overlapped and it was and wasn't meant to be intentional by the town. i don't think it knew what to do with the timing. it was great but also hhhhhhhh in its "eyes" but anyway, point is, James's got a Leave ending with Harry and baby Heather, he didn't get any conduit nonsense going on, he was probably in the town upwards of a week and a shake before he met up with Harry.

Harry, on the other hand, was probably in SH for a little over a week before he met up with James. James hadn't even really.. "finished" his arc..? which is important when they realize what the fuck just happened and oh god DAMMIT they gotta go to SH to get their fucking daughter back

i'll admit, this AU is certainly Dark. like, a&s is dark, but if you take into account what this one entails, oh buddy MAN is this one gonna be a rough fucking ride LOL like look

these two love each other to their depths but their relationship was havoc at times. i alluded to it, but there was a suicide attempt that Heather unfortunately got to see, and was probably dug up in therapy at some point. they argued and Heather remembers James not coming home some nights, or weeks, or months, and yeah, there was cheating from both James and Harry, they did NOT learn how to cope lmfao and did NOT process their wives' deaths very well, ESPECIALLY YOU, JAMES--

-- since he didn't get to have that closure like at the end of SH2. his and Harry's plots got mashed together, and Harry's took all importance with the Alessa/Order problem. as you can imagine, James has a LOT of unfinished business in SH.

they DID, though, see a lot of each others' SH and baggage, which is super important ofc to how they lived out their lives, and their lives together as a family and as fathers. stuff to keep in mind too, there are A LOT of unresolved problems between the two of them and a LOT of things repressed; and it's really just sad how much Heather actually remembers from her childhood that she'd've preferred remained stomped doooown down in the ground

Harry's Jeep is still crashed and fuckin pwnt in SH, and James's Pontiac is still at the observatory. they actually try to go in through South Vale i think to the observatory but ARE BLOCKED (!!!!!) on the road

by

:)

a trucker

:)

unfortunate business really :( this guy, this poor trucker's got his trailer in the middle of the road, taking up both lanes, looks like there was a minor accident here :( he apologizes to them and says that he's trying to get a hold of someone to help him with this, awful sorry. he redirects them instead: they can head in via Central Silent Hill, or they can go in via Shepherd's Glen. ur choice.

the trucker's a really sweet dude this Travis Grady, what a darling, obviously from Alabama, he's good humored and all but man. man there's something about him that's just. hrm.

well they decide to try to get in through Central Silent Hill though it means they'd have to go AAAALLL he way around the lake again (fuckin Toluca Lake) and ignore that Shepherd's Glen is closer, but agree that Travis had Weird Vibes and that the blockage seemed intentional which Great. Love That. Super Duper.

I ALSO DON'T THINK CYBIL WAS THERE THE FIRST TIME AROUND

ACTUALLY,

i think she's going to show up THIS time instead. which DOES mean older lady cop Cybil B) ur so welcome for that

SHE'S probably in SH herself looking for someone, or following a lead. not sure. something tells me it has to do with Alex? they might pass each other on the drive, so they see/pass Cybil's car heading in and take the exit towards Shepherd's Glen and she saw them on passing ofc.

things are TENSE the entire time bc i think that the discovery of Heather's kidnapping really was just a Bad Feeling and so they got up from the piano and went to her room and 404 DAUGHTER NOT FOUND

her phone was still on the bed tho, and the call was still active. Harry goes to pick it up and listen to the line and ask who the fuck's there and just hears someone sigh on the other end and hang up

(later, Harry's like, that situation was very Liam Neeson in Taken wasn't it lmfao wish i had the monologue memorized and James is like yeah now that you mention it. holy fuck lmaooo)

after that, Heather's phone bricks/locks itself up good and tight and useless to them. while they're really starting to panic, a radio turns on!

.. in the garage!

...... it's coming from the car!!!

they only hear it bc it's otherwise dead silent (ha) while they're up in Heather's room and just BARELY hear it so they'd have to go downstairs and into the garage and naturally it's really not THAT loud but w/e, spookiness

:)

guess what's playing :)

guess what's playing guess

ok you'll never guess so i'll tell you it's Somewhere Over The Rainbow but naturally it's the very recording that Jodi played and recorded and the one that Mary listened to all the time <3 (maybe whispering lyrics on it? mary? who knows! is it even the right time for that bit of joy fun times or would a better place for it be when they arrive in SH? probably that tbh.. so when they arrive it could ~fittingly end~ when they come up to park and just have dead air after, hmmmMM isn't workshopping whatever i find in my ass FUN

bc ALSO there's the possibility of having it play continuously for the drive and even Travis comments on it like lol you guys sure like that song huh and they look TIRED lmfao; harry's like yeah sure but this yellow brick road sucks, i prefer elton john's and travis is like LOL yeah not much of a musicals person myself or elton john for that matter but i vibe, better than copperhead road i suppose.....

James........... squints at that wonders why it sounds familiar, it pings a bell for Harry too but he has no idea, but anyway)

(they'll figure that one out later :3c)

anyway they're about to have a horrible horrible near future lmfao bc wELL

they BOTH knew that there was a high high chance that they weren't done with the Order and all that bullshit but still like :\ come ON

Douglas does show up here - but was he involved with Heather's kidnapping? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

mmmmMMMMMMMMMm

......... sure :) you know? sure. especially since he and the Sunderland-Masons (reversed -adjacent name asldfhaog -adjacent are the Mason-Sunderlands, gotta tell the AU's apart at least a LITTLE bit i mean like. The Connotations. that are only understood by me i guess skldf) have known each other for uhhhh

glances at watch-less wrist

maybe four years at this point bc Douglas is James's AA sponsor (spoiler for what i changed in ch3! LOL) so they're familiar to say the least! a family friend :)

:) Ruh Roh :)

ANYWAY I'LL STOP HERE thank u for coming to my impromptu ted talk and causing problems, ILU THEO AND I LOVE A&S LIKE BURNIIINNNGGG

[seghs24]

Ok finally finished Dragons: Race to the Edge so here are my thoughts

Animation is a LOT nicer than Riders/Defenders of Berk. Still a bit stiff and wonky but it just looks better and they did a GREAT job with the dragon flying animations.

I really cannot tell of Dagur hates Hiccup or is in love with him

I'm SO SO SO glad we got to see how Stoick met Skullcrusher

I'm also really glad that Gustav kept Fanghook he loves his dragon so much 🥺

Almost had a heart attack when Tuffnut said the word "Hell". Really did not expect cursing in this show. I know it's not like, a super severe curse word but it still caught me by surprise

Heather is a good guy! Heather is a bad guy! Heather is a good guy! Heather is a bad guy! Who fucking knows!

Speaking of Heather I LOVE her dragon. Windshear has such a neat design

I love Fishlegs' little dragon figurines I want them

GOOD GUY DAGUR GOOD GUY DAGUR GOOD GUY DAGUR

Dagur baby-talking to Toothless is the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen

Oh my GOD the fucking Buffalord. I love it but why does it looks so sad and depressed?

The musical episode with everyone singing to the baby Death Song is one of my favorite episodes of all time. Snotlout actually has a really nice singing voice! I wish we got to hear Astrid sing more than she did though :(

Ahhhh we get to see how Gobber got Grump!

Seeing how much Dagur loves Shattermaster makes my heart explode

I cried when they thought Garf was going to die I love him so much

I never really paid much attention to Hiccstrid but their relationship in the show is ADORABLE. I'm glad we got to see how they became an official couple

Everyone always talks about Hiccup's relationship with Toothless but AGH Astrid and Stormfly are adorable. They work so well together and Astrid loves her so so so much. Even after being blinded she wanted to go out and look for Stormfly and when she thought she was poisoned Astrid punched a fucking Slitherwing with her bare hands knowing she might die, but she wanted to at least save Stormfly. And in the same episode she drew a picture for Stormfly to cheer her up SHE LOVES STORMFLY SO MUCH

I love the noises the Singetails make they're so goofy looking

I'm glad Dagur got Sleuther but I wonder what happened to Shattermaster :(

NOOOOOOOOO TRADER JOHANN I LOVED YOU

Dagur and Mala are actually really adorable together ngl

I'm legit sad about Viggo's death 😭 I can't believe he sacrificed himself for Hiccup. And he cooked a fish for Toothless??? Adorable

Shattermaster showing up at Dagur and Mala's wedding omg that was adorable

I was a bit worried about the ending because I wasn't sure how they were going to have it tie in with the second movie, but they did a nice job with having Hiccup not actually see the Bewilderbeast.

Overall I REALLY really enjoyed this series. The humor was amazing and I love seeing all the new types of dragons. I was so sad watching the last episodes because I knew it was over :(

[yakumtsaki]

What’s up Sophie?

-Oh nothing much, just looking up at the indifferent Heavens, searching for a reason to not end it all after getting beat up by fucking Miss Havisham. How could God forsake me so??

Idk Soph, I mean God works in mysterious ways. Except when you have no body skill points and start fights with people way fitter than you, then the ways God works in become a little more clear. 

-That’s it, I’m going outside and waiting for a satellite to hit me!!

Counterproposal, you go upstairs and sleep because we have your UUU pledge bs do-over tomorrow, and we’re so behind schedule it’s not even funny. And after you SHAJAR is pledging which I just know is gonna take at least 5 tries so there’s really no time to waste. 

-Ugh Shajar this, Shajar that, I don’t want to hear about that turbocuck anymore! 

Then marry her and I’ll never bring her up again!

-Gotta side with Sophie on this one, Shajar is GROSS. Yuck!

Oh wow well now that Boring Brunette Dude has chimed in that changes everything. Literally who even are you.

-Hey Frances, I admire the fact you walk around so confidently despite being the biggest pussyboi the world has even known. Good for you!

-Oh my, how nice! 

Now that wasn’t so hard, was it? Right? Sophie??

-First I’m losing fights, now I have to compliment fucking Frances Worthington, what’s next? Living in a hippie commune?? Just let me die by crepe suffocation.

Ok well as much as I’d love to devote even more time to this Havisham-induced identity crisis, I really need to focus on pathologically unlikable Shajar’s pledging attempt, so.. stay strong?

-JUST LEAVE ME ALONE I HATE YOU I HATE EVERYTHING I WISH I WAS STILL A TEEN TOWNIE

Ngl to you Soph, I too am starting to wish you were still a teen townie.

-So one of my family’s favorite games is making appointments for x-rays we don’t need just so poor people can’t have them! HAHA

-Oh haha that’s hilarious, Frances!

Shajar what’s.. happening.. you’re actually doing great? This is the first time you’ve gotten someone to like you?? Maybe there’s hope for your ridiculous popularity aspiration after all. 

-I just want to get the hell out of these dorms, I can’t deal with Gross Hippie Dude’s stink anymore!

-Oh dear lord, how can someone stink this bad?? I’m gonna vomit all over this terribly decorated dorm!

HEY it took me like 10m to decorate this masterpiece, show some respect. Also this would be a lot more convincing if you hadn’t autonomously cheated on Frances with this freakshow the other night. 

-It was the moonlight!

Does the moonlight have stink covering properties I’m not aware of?

Heather Huffington passes by and I have Shajar greet her in case this Sophie racket doesn’t work out, which is looking increasingly likely. 

-WOW what a great pairing!

Ikr???

-I was joking, what a fucking disaster in the making. 

Ti-Ning I’m truly getting tired of your shit, this is all gonna work out just the way I want it to!

WHY TF ARE YOU TWO SLEEPING IN THE SAME BED

-Why not? 

-We’re besties!

KILL ME. SHAJAR I THOUGHT YOU GOT OVER THIS

-What? Can’t I just recognize that my sister’s boyfriend is a fine piece of ass without you making it weird??

Oh God this is how it starts, this is what happened with Gunther and Brit last gen, they were always like ‘platonically’ alone in bedrooms and then one day BAM. IT’S NOT HAPPENING AGAIN DO YOU HEAR ME FUCKERS? I WON’T LET YOU

-I for one hope Shajar gets with Heather, because oh man! Now that would be a ménage à trois to remember!

...it really is too bad Jojo took the cowplant with him when he graduated because I know what I’d be using it for. 

-NO NO NO, you can’t just book x-rays you don’t need, what the fuck??

-EXCUSE ME?!

-Those are just for broken bones and shit and widely available, you need to book MRIs, everyone knows those appointments take way longer to get! 

-Ohh..that’s actually a good point.

-You’re so lucky you met me, bro, I’m really good at spreading misery.

Yea no arguments here!

-So, girls, I don’t know if you’ve noticed by my attire, but the main reason I’m here is to snag a rich old professor that can promptly die!

-Dream on toadface, huhu! The old professors are MINE 💗💗💗

-Ok that’s it..

Sophie?

-My hatred cannot be contained any longer!!!

Was it ever contained to begin with?

-You and me OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW HAVISHAM

WHY. Why would you attempt this AGAIN

-I really thought it would work this time!! :(

Why would it?? Note the simultaneous fight cloud inside which is..

..Shajar and the cheerleader! Man, both you and Sophie really have trouble with the concept of ‘don’t attack people with more body points than you’.

-I thought my hatred would carry me through!! :( 

Omg Sophie.. Literally STOP.

-NEVER!!!

-GO VEILFACE, FUCK THESE LEGACY BITCHES, WALKING AROUND LIKE THEY OWN THE PLACE

-I’M NOT ASSOCIATED WITH SHAJAR GODDAMMIT. OH FUCK, SHE’S HITTING ME WITH HER SOMETHING BORROWED

-THAT’S RIGHT, I BORROWED A BRICK FROM THE WALL

-Man, it’s so hard to concentrate with this absolute carnage outside and this guy’s sexy moves in front of me.

HMM I wonder, say you get on academic probation and then kicked out of college, would this be enough time for Cyneswith to get over you??

Maybe we should stop studying >:)

-Lol nice try, but there’s no stopping the Don Oatesmeal train! 

I hate you so much </3

Since it’s the day before finals, aka the one day each semester where we’re studying, it’s time to focus on the only two people this generation who should actually be in college:

Suffice it to say they have led different lives since coming here.

Angel gets an A and everyone else gets cucky Bs once again, except for Sophie ‘Brainchad’ Miguel, who gets Dean’s List this semester too despite not studying more than the rest of these losers. Sophie you are an ICON

-Not even these 3.5k aspiration points can fill the Veilface-Corpse-shaped hole in my heart >:(

-Look at her, dancing like an idiot, not aware that my fists of fury are silently waiting to sneak up on her and KICK HER ASS 

-I CAN HEAR YOU, BABYHANDS

-😞😞😞

Walk it off, Babyhands!

One last aesthetically pleasing game of catch, and we’re off. 

-CATCH IT OATESCUCK, CATCH IT

-I AM!!

-NOW THROW IT AT THE CHEERDLEADER AND AIM FOR THE NOSE

See you at the UUU house!

My Rating on Carrie the Musical Songs and Why

 I know no one asked for this but you're gonna get it anyway😌

(this is least favorite to absolute favorite)

(don't expect in depth analysis this is just me rambling because I can)(and I don't have a real reason for the order its basically off of vibes this was really hard I adore all the songs)

24. Carrie (reprise)

The song is too slow for my tastes

I feel like it would be better if it had Margaret killing Carrie

Favorite Part: “My Carrie, smile at the angels up above you, and sleep, baby sleep”

23. Unsuspecting Hearts (reprise)

Too much Ms. Gardener and not enough singing

Its only above Carrie (Reprise) because I like the story and the voices scratch good part of brain

Favorite Part: When Carrie says “oh no!” 

22. Dreamer in Disguise

This used to be top on the list for least favorite ngl

Its grew on me but I still find it kind of boring 

Good lyrics somewhat relatable

has made me cry

Favorite Part: “And though the clouds may block the sun, don't mean that its left the sky”

21. Alma Mater

I love the suspense

The song is catchy

the interaction with Ms. Gardner and Sue is frustratingly perfect

too short and not enough singing unfortunately

Favorite Part: “Get oooouuuuut” “NOOOOO”

20. Once You See

Goes into the boring category kinda

Gets extra points because could be read as Sue/Carrie

pretty

Favorite Part: “I felt as though, this girl revealed herself to me, and now I know that once you see, you can't unsee”

19. Epilogue 

Harmonies are great

It really ties it up well I think

l like how it brings the other kids in too

Favorite Part: “What does it cost to be kind? Blinded and silent, too scared to be and to finally see”

18. Stay Here Instead

Its a little all over the place but it fits because Margaret is all over the place

jammy and at some points catchy

evokes feelings™️

has made me cry

Favorite Part: “You’ll say nothing Mama! You’ll stay here and not say a word”

17. When There’s No One 

Feelings actually (not for Margaret tho she can die (no one is gonna fucking hold you bitch))

don't like Margarets victim complex

love the foreshadowing

I have now seen Fear Street 1994, please let me know your thoughts once you watch!! I enjoyed it a lot and I'm not a horror fan.

oh gosh, i rly enjoyed it!! where to start, uh, ooh.

ykw, it was a lil more intelligent than i expected it to be? that might sound kinda rude but with the limited promotional material i wasn't too sure what to expect exactly (even tho i was excited). my memories of all the fear street books i recall devouring in middle school, uh, some were defo objectively better than others-- but at the end of the day, most were formulaic and relatively standard fare. but heck, i'm down for trash horror and b horror usually so if this movie was super stupid it wouldn't have been a dealbreaker for me AT ALL. but imho fear street 1994 handled classic horror homages and tweaking with them whilst following a familiar rl stine path, and did so in a fashion better than it had to for what it is-- bc like, lbr it's stylish af and a fear street movie. it didn't *have* to be any good. ppl were going to watch regardless of quality bc the book series is so prolific and the trailers did nothing to disguise how freakin' awesomely stylish it is. man, did this movie milk the most of its 90s aesthetic and i do not mean that in any kind of derogatory way. i rly dug the style, i appreciate a movie that makes the most of its environment!!

on that note, it uh, it felt like watching a fear street book? it rly did. one of the super chillers brought to life. and that was nice. i'm not gonna pretend i have every single one of those books committed to memory bc i don't, but. i've a conglomerate memory of the pulpy horror + teen angst + town lore, and this movie certainly brought its game on those fronts.

the characters!! i enjoyed them. deena, esp, oof, she's got my heart. i feel like josh and i would hang out, ngl. all the protagonist kids i felt some kind of fondness toward tbh, i enjoyed all of them enough to be as attached as warranted in a film like this. i'm left wondering why there were all horny at the same time?? idk if it was just one of those things where like, yk, the end is nigh, so u might as well fuck before it's too late, or if that was some side-effect of the witch magic weirdness?? not that that matters in any way. it doesn't. it's just one of the questions that was left unanswered for me.

low body count for a slasher type horror movie and on that note, i do have some complaints. simon's death was woefully underdone. heather and kate got to have drawn out struggles with their killers. sam, while consenting to *temporary* death had a p good drowning at deena's hands imho (and drowning was defo more practical than overdose given the circumstances). kate got her face utterly shredded by the fuckin' bread cutter which was disgusting and horrifying but also great on the body horror front. but simon got?? one chop to the head and beyond a lil blood squirting it wasn't that gory??

i am displeased. to be fair, simon was killed with a double bit axe, and that is a p one-hit-kill weapon when it's, uh. inserted violently into the the skull. and he didn't have time to struggle bc he was killed from behind. also i think it was supposed to be a lil bit of a jump scare bc u don't see the killer? but still!! it's a slasher movie with a p small body count so it should be making the most of its kills. this could've (should've) been a lot messier.

i personally saw the twist with sam being possessed like, a mile away. it was the way the movie continued, the things the camera was panning over. the obviously sharp broken drumstick?? oof. also bc this is a fear street movie and most fear street and goosebumps books ended with some kind of twist more often than not, so it would've felt outta place if the movie didn't end with one.

but predictable or not, i thought sam's possession worked. deena survived the attack and subdued sam, so i was hella grateful for that-- i was scared the film would end with sam killing her!! plus sam being possessed will hopefully serve as an opening to delve even deeper and more thoroughly into the sarah fier lore going into the next fear street movie, which i'm defo looking forward to. is it p standard fear street lore thus far?? yes, but i'm still invested. standard or not, i felt it worked for this film and it piqued my interest.

plus the movie just. straight up ends with 'to be continued...' which is what multiple part goosebumps episodes ended on, so that made me smile.

whew, okay, i feel like i rambled on and on, but all in all, i got a lot out of this movie! i was hype for it to begin with and ended up enjoying it even more than i expected to. hbu, buddy? what's ur thoughts @lucdarling?

[i-want-anne-hathaway]

It’s the Lightning Thief time :3

I’m listening to the Deluxe edition because it’s not actually any different from the first one outside of some new songs. This is different than Heathers that has extra songs, takes out a song, and overall has a different cast.

I’m also on the phone @lesducks

The entirety of The Camp Halfblood chronicles makes me so happy. I hold it very close to my heart ngl.

WAIT, I NEED TO CHANGE INTO MY CAMP HALFBLOOD T-SHIRT.

It’s the way that George Salazar keeps getting casted as the outcast main character’s best friend.

I’m gonna try to point out any innacuracies. It’s been some five years since I last read this so this’ll be fun. Ms. Dodds was not a substitute, she was the regular Math teacher.

A new challenger has approached. @just-another-thespian

On one hand, I don’t like Percabeth. On the other hand, I do. It’s a very rocky relationship I have with their relationship.

CHARLIE BECKENDORF WOULD NEVER

The fact that I keep getting messages about somebody commenting on my old Percy Jackson Wattpad fanfics is make me so confused. I’m just like “I was like 9 years old, why do you like this?”

I love Luke. Any song with Luke is automatically the best.

“If I were Luke, I’d go insane too” -Robin

“Yeah, he was stuck at a camp with literal children” -Kate

It’s the way that on drown, she goes higher, and on float, she goes lower. Same vibes as the The King in You’ll Be Back.

I’m actually Kristen Stokes, I’m sorry for hiding this for so long.

The Campfire song is the first song I’d listened to from TLT musical, and I love it.

We’re not even talking about TLT, we’re talking about The Prom. I can’t put any thoughts down because we’re talking about Atlanta Prom and Nintendo Switch.

Abby has joined, and now it’s just a party.

Shoutout to Carrie Compere who played like four roles in this show, and she crushed every single one.

10+3=5

Good kid is such a projection song, but sometimes I see people say “good kid is such a [insert character that’s nothing like percy] and I’m just ???? I mean like I won’t stop you because you should be able to project all you want, but I am silently confused as fuck.

I’m trying to enjoy this musical, and I keep hearing Kate, Robin, and Abby talking about how stupid they are.

Grover is a whole mood in Lost. Actually, the whole song is a mood.

I am in love with Annabeth.

It’s the way that they snuck in the dam joke. It makes me so proud. Really seeing that the creators of this musical actually paid attention and cared about the books.

THE TREE ON THE HILL MAKES ME SO SAD! It’s so goddamn emotional.

It’s the way that I didn’t know what DOA meant for the longest team despite this song explicitly saying it multiple times.

I’m pretty sure at one point every song on here was my favorite song because every song is amazing. And it sucks because I was this close to convincing my mom to let me see this on Broadway, but she said NO.

I don’t want to listen to In The Same Boat or Try, but I’ve committed.

Luke is an angsty piece of shit, and I love him.

We sung Good Kid (Reprise) together with the lag, and it was amazing.

I rarely ever listening to anything on the Deluxe album besides Try and In the Same Boat, and now when listening to the other songs I realize how much I’m missing out.

PICK A SIDE SLAPS, HOLY SHIT! AND IT HAS LUKE! IT’S AMAZING! I WAS MISSING OUT!

I love Jorrel Javier’s voice so much.

I love the Bianca and Nico reference.

The part where Percy and Grover are just humming is so satisfying to me.

Jorrel is so amazing in this role.

I AM THE WITTLEST MINOTAUR, THE WITTLEST MINOTAUR!

I love that The Wittlest Minotaur is the last song on the album. It’s a very good finish.

Final Judgement: It’s a great and accurate adaptation of a children’s book that raised a lot of kids, and it still has good music and makes it’s own jokes while staying true to the source material.
