The Emoji Game

Lisa decided to play a little game with the Undersiders, she asked them to pick an emoji that made them think of Taylor and then she went to show Taylor the results.

Lisa: Are you ready?

Taylor: No

Lisa: Awesome! Let's go... First, *she shows on her laptop screen the name of the person and the emoji they chose* Let's see what Taylor chose for Taylor.

Taylor, deadpan: Wow

Lisa: Taylor chose.... [fake drum rolls] THE SPIDER WEB! Yay! Now, why do you think Taylor chose the spider web?

Taylor, dry chuckle: I think Taylor picked this one because of her powers

Lisa: Alright, now tell us the real reason you chose this for Taylor

Taylor:

Taylor: Because of my powers

Lisa, patting Taylor's hair: You are so creative

Lisa: NEXT. Let's see what Brian chose for Taylor [fake drum roll] It's the Night Sky! Awwww. Why do you think he picked that for Taylor?

Taylor: Hm... I think because my powers work better at night and I can camouflage easily in the moonlight, so he thought it was the best scenario for Skitter

Lisa: Brian, now tell us the reason you chose the Night Sky emoji for Taylor

Brian: One day we were talking and she spoke of how vast the universe is, it came out of her so easily and so naturally, it stuck with me and made me think of how incredible her mind is and what else she might be keeping from us, whatever it is I'm sure is amazing and beautiful

Lisa: AAAWWWWW, that was the most neurodivergent flirt I ever heard

Taylor: *covering her face, in social pain*

Brian, blushing hard: Fuck you, Lisa

Lisa: Cuties.

Lisa: NEXT. Let's see what Regent chose.

Taylor, breathing more easily now: Let's, please

Lisa: Regent chose.... The worm! Now why do you think-

Taylor: Next. I don't wanna know.

Regent, proud of himself: *screeches from the background*

Lisa: Okay. Next it's Imp! She chose... The superhero emoji. Aw, that's nice.

Taylor, suspicious: That is nice. I'm confused.

Imp: It's because you're a hero at heart. Ya know? Deep, deep, DEEP inside. Getting deeper by the second. But still a hero.

Taylor: ...Thanks

Imp: *heart you* You go, little bug hero

Lisa: And nooow we haaave. Bitch! Bitch picked the... Shirt emoji!

Taylor: Oh, this one I know. She lent me a shirt once, it was cold and she noticed I wasn't faring very well. It was thoughtful.

Lisa: Adorable. Bitch, why you picked the shirt emoji for Taylor?

Bitch: Because she wears the shirt.

Lisa:

Taylor:

Lisa: Is it a special kind of shirt?

Bitch: No. She just wears the shirt.

Lisa: Okay

Taylor: *feeling embarrassed* Nevermind.

Lisa: Very practical, Bitch, thanks for playing along

Taylor: Let's move on, please

Lisa: Now, do you want to see which emoji did Lisa pick for Taylor? *eyebrow wiggle*

Taylor: I'm ready.

Lisa, very excited: THE SPARKLY PINK HEART EMOJI ✨✨✨ YOHOO

Taylor: Aw

Lisa: Why do you think Lisa picked this one?

Taylor: Because she knows we have a powerful bond

Lisa: Which kind of bond?

Taylor: A strong one.

Lisa, impatient: Naturally.

Regent and Imp: *laughing so hard they just drop on the ground*

Lisa: *take Taylor's glasses away, cleans, then put them back* Try again

Taylor: What's cleaning my glasses suppose to accomplish?

Lisa: *aggressively pointing at the screen, like a tired teacher* What kind of bond do we have, Taylor?

Regent and Imp, in the back: *making naughty gestures trying to help Taylor*

Taylor: Love.

Lisa: Yes. What kind?

Taylor: Uhh... A strong-

Lisa: We've established it is a strong one already, Taylor.

Taylor: *despair*

Lisa: DO WE KISS ON THE MOUTH, TAYLOR?

Taylor: Yes!

Lisa: THEN WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE BOND, TAYLOR?!

Taylor: *shaking, too nervous* A-ah Friendship?

Lisa: AAAAAAAAAA

Imp and Regent: *smacking each other as they laugh to their deaths*

Taylor, trying again: SISTERS!!!

Brian: Oh, no...

Taylor, whimpering and hiding: I'm not good at this game...

Lisa: *aiming a gun to herself*

Brian: That's enough *takes away the gun* Everybody to bed.

House and Cuddy could have just slept together from the beginning like normal people but instead they decided to enact elaborate psychosexual mind games at work, every day, for the next 7 years and i really respect their dedication to handling sexual tension in the least efficient but most entertaining way possible

Season 3 ending

So... It's been almost a week since the last episode, almost a week trying to wrap my head around the end of the show, trying to manage my feelings about it all.

It's hard to end up feeling the complete opposite of nearly everyone on my dash but I've come to terms with the fact that I didn't love the ending. I didn't love this last episode. (I shouldn't feel ashamed or weird for saying so but you guys loved it so much that I feel a bit like an outsider right now 😓)

I haven't been a fan of the show for as long as most of you, but it means so much to me. These characters carved a place in my heart and in my head, and they've made me happy for months now. They helped me get through some stuff, made me discover some amazing artists, meet even more amazing people through this fandom. And I loved the story. Even in its darkest, saddest parts, I loved it. I was invested.

I love Wilhelm and Simon, together and separately. They mean so much to me. And I loved season 1 and 2. It made me happy, and sad, and frustrated, and exalted. But overall, I trusted the show and I was not disappointed.

Season 3 was a lot. I liked the first 5 episodes. I can't say that I loved everything about them: I was not expecting things to get so hard for Simon, with no reprieve in sight. I was not worried about Wilmon being endgame (I know it was a big stress for the fandom but honestly I never doubted that they were endgame), but I was wondering how the show would go about tying all the knots it made (I should even say all the knots it added during this last season).

(Under a read more because it's a bit long and I don't want to bother those who don't wanna read more of my frustrated thoughts ^^')

And unfortunately the last episode was a huge let down for me. Yes, it's partly because nothing I was hoping for actually happened, but mostly, it's because the choices they made did not feel very satisfying to me: ⁕ Simon was barely there. We went from him being bullied online/offline non stop for 5 episodes to almost nothing. It makes 0 sense to me. ⁕ Kristina suddenly feeling better: she was having break down upon break down for an entire season, could barely look at her son or even just talk normally and all of a sudden she's back, smiling and agreeing to everything Wilhelm says? I'm sorry but I don't buy it? Where did this Kristina hid during the entire show? ⁕ Wilhelm deciding to not be king, talking for 3min to his parents about it, them agreeing and him running into the sunset with Simon. I'm sorry, what?? I love that they end up together of course, but it makes very little sense to me? It won't change any of the issues they had this season? They're still gonna be famous? And bullied online/offline? (Probably even more so now?). I'm not obviously saying that Wilhelm staying in line to become king was the only or the best solution, but I wanted more from this storyline. I wanted to believe it. And right now, what we got? It feels a bit cheap (and I feel bad for saying that because the ending was cute and romantic and all, but it felt too disconnected from the rest of the show for me ><)

And apart from these few points, the big issue I had with this episode was: The Angst. So that might be a me-problem, but it was too much for my poor little heart (I haven't rewatched the episode yet, and I'm not sure I'll be able to anytime soon ><). I spent like 40min of the episode with a huge knot in the stomach because the heartbreak between Simon and Wilhelm was too much to handle for me. I can see how it was beautifully made, that having lots of throwbacks to the previous seasons, the Wille song, all of that was great cinematography. But it was just too much for me. I got in the season spoiler-free but for this episode? During the lake scene I had to take a break and check online if they were actually endgame because it was starting to actually give me a stomachache. So yeah, this part might be me being too sensitive but I did not like that they made me see them fight for each other for 2 seasons and 5 episodes, but then just giving up for 40min before finally running back to each other during the last 10min. It was just too much sadness for me ><

So yeah, maybe my expectations were too high? But I feel sad, and kinda cheated. Too many things are left wide opened. Too many things make zero sense to me. And of course I'm happy we got our Wilmon endgame, but I'm less happy about how it happened.

It's a bit hard being on Tumblr right now and seeing everyone who thought it was the perfect episode >< And I don't want to "yuck anyone's yum" (as the saying goes), but I still wanna be able to share my thoughts! I probably won't write super angry/unhappy/complaining posts about the season/the finale, but I still wanna be able to chat about it. I did see some posts on my dash from people not being entirely satisfied with this ending so it's a bit comforting. And I hope we can share some nice headcanons, or just discussions about different plot points.

But yeah, I guess that's why I haven't really been active this week! Trying to get over the double heartbreak of the end of the show + being disappointed with the ending! I'm gonna come back though! I miss hanging out here, I just need to strengthen my heart a little bit more :p Gonna get back to writing about my thoughts episode by episode for this season (I can't promise I can rewatch the last one though 😖 It might take me a bit of time to get there). And I want to continue my song analysis of the show!! I'm not even done with season 2 yet, I have some work to do there ^^

So see you back here very soon 😘

i had a moment

[tevos]

two things to think about when my brain is clearer: betsy comes to her mum and says she wants to see mason's body and apologise, and lisa's immediate response and way of offering comfort is to tell her that they'll nail the people responsible for his death. wondering if this is just because of their different methods of processing their grief, betsy wanting to face her own internal process head on whereas lisa shifts focus onto getting justice for the wronged, or if it's because lisa has been exactly where her daughter is right now, has stood by the bedside of the corpse of her loved one, and she already knows that seeing their body does not fix anything--it didn't help her process her grief, it only ensured that the very last memory of her late wife was of her lifeless, and she's protecting betsy from that (even if, who's to say, it might actually help).

secondly, and less tangible, but rewatching old carla connor scenes and her mental health breaking down over 'the badness, the rot, the evil' inherently inside of her, and there is such a fine line connecting my brain from that point to betsy in that final scene, whether it has any right to or not. sitting quietly at a table, feeling little of anything except sorry that she didn't make a different choice, and expecting to be hated for it.

I wish Inquisition kept failed dialogue options because there's something so perfect about them sometimes. + Some extra origin sketches

[laurellala-comics]

there are two wolves inside of you. One of them is fretting that you went through all the effort of making a new art account just to pigeonhole yourself once more into a specific fandom, which holds you back from exploring original art concepts that you care about. The other one came up with three separate ace attorney comic ideas in the last hour alone and isn't stopping anytime soon
