#if the villain don't hype me up fuck the whole thing lowkey

I’m watching Not Me and though I find it to be a little too heavy-handed at times and it's certainly not perfect, I am completely mesmerized so I need to ramble for a bit.
Finally I'm understanding the First hype. I knew he was great and handsome and talented in the role of Alan in MLC but Not Me has me falling for him fr fr. Like that man is so beautiful and charming in the role of Yok. Whenever he graces the screen I am gobsmacked. Those fucking eyes. Even though he’s paired with a cop I lowkey find their romantic development sweet (don’t tell anyone lol. Unar being a cop is easily the worst part of the show but I'm trying to suspend my disbelief and enjoy it anyway)
And Sean/White!! They are such a sexy pairing. Their development, White's apparent affection toward Sean, Sean cautiously reciprocating. Sean beating the shit out of White after White screws up his plan...not to be toxic but I love that shit right there like I'm eating it up. And the way they made up after it—holding hands under the pride flag, drinking in Black's room.
Their first kisses and the tent scene were so well done and romantic and satisfying. Those actors not only look good together, but they play off each other well. White is really effortlessly such a cutie pie. And I love that the both of them (particularly Sean) are older I’m sick of the baby twink BL boys (not really lmao but ykwim). Their chemistry knocked me tf out. I have four more episodes I can’t wait to see more of them together.
Lastly I’m just obsessed with the fact that this show is following a militant anticapitalist anarchist group trying to violently bring down a massive company. And the narrative isn’t condemning them for taking extralegal action. That's so refreshing to me. They’re messy, they make mistakes, they have disagreements, they have to grapple with exactly how they’re achieving their goals. I love how nuanced they are because it’s true to reality in a way I don’t see media often get—they are doing these things as an act of utmost love for people, as anarchists IRL do. They are not made to be mindless, 2-dimensional villains, willing to plow down anyone in their way—that would go against their whole ideology, of course, but I feel like I see this reductive, easy-way-out archetype so often in media (think Killmonger's ideology...coupled with the fact that he killed so many people on behalf of the US Army? Please make it make sense). They don't want to hurt innocent people—the show makes it a point every step of the way that none of them want harm to come to the people they are fighting for. They don't really want to hurt anyone, except for those at the very top.
I feel like I never see an anticapitalist vigilante group portrayed sympathetically in media. Sean, White, and co. are burning shit down, vandalizing, infiltrating warehouses—and narrative is rooting for them!! They are not evil, they are not villains, in fact they are very much the good guys. They are rooted in theory and love. It is made so clear that everyone in the group does what they do out of love.
The cherry on top is that this series was written directed by a trans woman, P'Nuchy. Like of course it was that's why it's so good, that's why it nails the nuances, that's why the militant anarchist group is made up of the sympathetic, kind, loving, COMPLEX protagonists who just want to set fire to everything that is hurting them and their people. This is top tier BL and I'm so excited to finish it, I just had to spit this all out first.

i'm so mad about stranger things s4
like... i was annoyed last night when i finished watching it but then i got on here this morning and saw everyone being like "here are all the reasons this season was bad"
and y'all... they have some points. to me it boils down to the duffers doing too much with the plot and not enough with the characters. there was something going on every fucking second plot wise but no time for the characters to talk with each other about all the shit going on, how they had changed as people, how they're relationships had changed.
i also think this was made so much fucking worse by that damn time jump!!!! how tf are you going to make a two hour and twenty two minute episode and have maybe four minutes of resolution (that made no sense by the way). at the end of s3 we got to see max's reaction to billy's death, eleven finding out hopper was gone, we got to see the characters talking and explaining and grieving. why, pray tell, were we robbed of that this season when we needed it 1000x more?????? everyone was so hyped for the finale specifically because everyone was split up the whole season! we thought we were going to get a huge reunion when everyone needed it most and then we just... didn't? eleven not asking a single question when hopper showed up??? ... ok.
speaking of eleven, yeesh. wtf is up with her being the only one who is possibly able to do anything ever? why have the hawkins gang make a plan just for her to swoop in and save them?? let other people help and fight and be heroes!! why couldn't max help fight vecna or at least be the one to remind eleven how loved and important she is (she would have done a better job than mike... that's all i'm saying. her memories with eleven were even her next happy memories to hide in that she had queued up after the snow ball)!
i mean seriously, the duffers screwed everyone over this season. not one character got some helpful, healthy growth (or even some pain that caused them to change!) will, robin, steve, nancy, jonathan, the sinclairs!!! erica and lucas deserved so much better, my god.
the last thing i'm going to say are the deaths (or lack thereof) were... bad. i was actually happy with brenner's death! i thought it was done well and it was very necessary (honestly, i thought the whole nina storyline was pretty good). i don't even think i need to talk about eddie's death because every third post on here is about why it sucked. i think the deaths felt so disappointing because the cast and crew had all been hyping up that this season there were going to be real deaths. like, main characters, not just killing off the newest character AGAIN (bob and alexie). we kind of needed a main character death! what happened to robin, steve, and nancy all getting strangled by vines for a solid half hour?? eddies death felt like a total cop out.
honestly, i need s5 to be good. i've seen some posts on my dash saying, "they've already started filming season five and they just had to cut this season short" (the noah in a harness photos). i hope so, man. i hope the reason this finale sucked was that they could not for the life of them figure out a good way to wrap this season up because they had such good wrap-ups planned for next season. i mean, there were parts of this season that were great! dear billy was incredible! it was a good comeback, they handled the gang being so split up pretty well, the plots were (mostly) good, and st lowkey never misses with it's music or villains. i just think the finale fucked up really bad, and i hope st redeems itself with this last season. i predict that there's not going to be much of a time jump between s4 and s5 like there is between most seasons because of what we saw happening in hawkins with the flowers and the dust, so hopefully it doesn't need a ton of exposition. ok, this is officially long as fuck but i don't care because i needed to rant!

Ooooh I will let you know for sure, though ranking won't be easy... I'm gonna have to take different categories into consideration 👀
I'm glad the reception surpassed your expectations then! I'm pretty sure a lot of people have waited for it to drop, cause there was a lot of hype and teasing beforehand. Aaaaand some probably really like the bodyguard trope, so it all makes sense <3
🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 closing my eyes so I won't see any death. Lmao, his schedule is packed, but I will make sure he enjoys our time together. 💗
I think I'm getting used to the song, can't say I love it, but I just accepted it ahydushjagdhshs. My Twitter block list consists of mostly Atinys and some troll Stays, but I made sure to follow less Stay accounts and clowned myself cause Atinys are fucking annoying too, but in a different way... even some bigger accounts are ridiculous and need to touch a whole field of grass. When Hwa's teasers dropped I saw the replies under the tweet, scrolled through them and "this tweet is from the account you blocked/muted" showed up 7 times I was wheezing 😭😅😭😅 they're insufferable. I mute some fans only when they tweet about streaming and comeback goals too often, unless they're extremely weird and obnoxious I don't block them.
Body Rhythm is so great, the whole DCM album is very good, so I didn't mind not feeling DCM 100%! Ooooh that's an unpopular opinion I think, but nice to see some Hellevator praise. <3 yeah with Skz I didn't like some of their early songs especially title tracks, but they have soooooo many songs despite not being around that long, so it's impossible to like and even remember everything lol. With Ateez there are a few songs I don't likeand forget about, but I've been rather lucky with their TTs.
I know lol I lowkey adopted Shotaro as well! Gotta spread the Jooyeon agenda further, he's a princess 😭💖
Hold on, gotta call my driver wtffff he should've told me about that important event :/ side note: I don't like riding ubers etc, cause most drivers are sus, but I was in one yesterday with my friend and the guy was annoying I couldn't help, but hope for Taehyung to replace him sjhdhsbdjsjshs or Lino even though he's a little devil
OMFG I'm so happy for you because of the concert(jealous too), but deserveeeeed! 💥
Arranged marriage AU oh god, I almost forgot about it 🤯 I didn't however forget about villain Y/N 😌
Literally... if Hwa said he felt uncomfortable I'd respect it, but they're so weird for jumping on people, telling them to DELETE because the tweets are UNFUNNY 🤡 then proceed to tweet the most unhinged shit that's definitely cringy and creepy, but it's all shits and giggles I guess.
Bestie I'm not a lover, so the passive result is probably the best one, lmaooo.
BAEK UNIVERSE QUIZZZZZ?! I feel like THE OTHER GIRLS because I got the mafia girlie, but the kids part couldn't be more untrue, so I retook it, cause some of the options were haaaaard and got model Y/N nooooow we're talking
Yes, I was looking forward to EAW and I'm not disappointed, also Kang Tae Oh and Rowoon should play brothers, peak puppy main leads! And both acted alongside Soo Hyuk 🤗
Oh no Hamlet, I'm sorry there's not much hope for you </3
I saw the million seller thing, happy for them. But also some shop in LV sold their albums too early, fucking hell 🔫🔫🔫🔫
I got Beomgyu lolol. Have a very on brand quiz got a 🐝 also two Skz quizzes while we're at it heh: 1 and 2 - DV 💖
