#the cast is EVERYTHING help

[unicat-w]

I just saw some post about shadow and bone might not get season 3 and i can't, not when i start to like it 😭

(I haven't read the books)

Tbh season 1 doesn't interested me storywise, i was focusing on world setting and wow at costumes and stuff. Alina's story isn't something new, it's a classic this char discover they have great power, now what will they do next. For me i gotta feel for the character first in order to be really rooting for them but i was so confused in what the heck is going on when they keep cutting to the crows part. It's feel like two completely different stories... turn out it really is lol but i'm glad they woven the books together tho

The character that i was curious about most was the darkling but i personally from a country that ppl still can get kill from speak ill of the monarchs, so i was like "man you don't need to wait for a sun summoner, you can just coup. The king is shitty, just play your cards right, act like you love both grisha and otkazat'sya. Make all the ppl your ppl". The feeling of miss opportunity is strong here 😂

Now for season 2. As the first season tell two stories at the same time, so i brace for it. But i didn't brace for freaking four stories!! It's like alina gang, the crows, the darkling, and the jail. Wait i just remember Matthias and nina part in season 1 also feel like another story. Gosh why do they keep putting everything in an episode, it's all over the place, one minute i got immerse in kaz revenge the next nikolai blind me with his sunshine personality. Too much, just too much.

So i kinda love hate the ending. I like that they tryna give more depth to alina and mal relationship and i love the what if alina corrupt. But then i kinda hope they end like the book and those two live a life of ordinary, so they won't split one episode into hundreds of story again and just focus on maybe the crows or nikolai?

Then i've to go and watch cast interview... This is my downfall, they all are so freaking CUTE 😩💕💕💕 now i just KEEP THEM KEEP THEM ALL!!! Like can uncle ben come back for season 3 also? Maybe as a flashback?? Can they keep working together so we could have more interview and cute moments 🥺

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 😘

...K this is going to sound completely out of the blue, but this has been haunting me today —

I’d like to thank YouTube auto translate for the amazing screenshots I got while watching the Puyo Puyo stageplay

They were playing house. Satan got stuck being the dog/cat and nobody wanted to be a grandma

Here’s an honorable mention from the website for the stageplay

[etherealxn]

here's my canon (aka my delusional ass' daily job) for the shourtney marriage (just for fun) 😀

imagine if shourtmanda did an episode on smoshcast talking about marriages mainly focussing on amanda and her experiences. s and c keep saying things like "i heard from somebody that...", "I've heard that..." and so on. at the end they do a section where you have to say some facts that you are sure the others wont know (this has been done before). suddenly, s/c just says "oh yea, im getting married to c/s" and the podcast ep just ends.

👁️👄👁️

(this sounded better in my head 😭)

i napped the entire day away and my dreams included, but were not limited to: big earthquake that, as it was happening, i was like "oh this is a bad one" and my stepdad went "its not that bad" - our house slid down a ravine into water / very vivid evening apocalypse that - after the blast hit and i died - swirled into sleep paralysis that occurred While I Was Dreaming (and i do mean swirled. i got whipped around like an inflatable tube man) / rich people sitcom where everyone was unbearable but i had my dear cat Letti with me / sound-based monster shaped like my mom that i kept from killing me via a funny joke (i didnt even get to finish my microwaved macaroni smh)

[buckets-of-dirt]

For "the dark Star Trek" DS9 sure as some of the best silly episodes in the entire canon

[ssaalexblake]

I do kind of want to watch Gatwa as the doctor but like, after years of dealing with fandom bullshit over 13 and the utter shitpile of fandom, I just can't be bothered to do it again here. I know what y'all gonna be like. He's never gonna be good Enough he's never gonna do it quite right and you're never going to manage to explain why because all logic is going to fall apart if you try and explain because it won't be logical, like it wasn't with 13. And the majority of you won't even Realise your own bias. And I cannot be goddamn assed to sit and stew in that cesspit anymore.

Dw fandom is terrible hours and I can only delude myself into thinking my circle is the only part of it for So long before I want to say fuck that and leave for less shit pastures.

[good-beanswrites]

I wrote my little Purge March section for Lights, Camera, Sing Your Sins :) Since I just snuck it into a preexisting chapter, I figured I'd make a quick post with it on it's own 👍

Amane knelt on the cold tile. She watched the water trickle from the ends of her hair. She could feel droplets across her whole body. She shivered slightly in the tight space.

Before Jackalope had even finished uttering ‘cut’ , a dozen hands were lifting her off the ground. Her head spun with all the voices offering comforting words. 

She gaped from inside the bundle of towels she’d been immediately wrapped in. Kazui had pulled one tightly around her shoulders while Yuno was using another to dab at her head. Kotoko knelt in front of her, rubbing her hands between hers to warm them up. Muu held up her change of clothes, with what looked like one of her own sweaters thrown in. Shidou and Fuuta ushered them out of the set pieces. The area had been designed to look as clustered as her home, but it was much more open than the cameras caught. With just a few steps she was back in the bright, warm studio.

Amane frowned, trying to shrug off the towel. “There’s no need for all of this. I signed off on my script, same as you all. None of you were treated as such during your videos.”

Mikoto poked his index finger into her shoulder. “Yeah, because none of us went through half the shit you did. Trust me, this isn’t because you’re a kid, it’s because this is majorly fucked up.”

She opened her mouth, but all her words died out. For so long, she’d repeated her protests that this was just how things were. She was finding it more and more difficult to argue with the others. She was having a hard time knowing what was wrong to believe.

“I really enjoyed your marching band rehearsal yesterday,” Shidou said, offering a warm smile. She did not return it. She could see through his weak attempt to change the subject. “Er… that looked very fun…”

“Yes, yes!” Yuno chimed in, giving her towel-swaddled body a squeeze. “I didn’t know you could baton twirl! You need to teach me, I’ve always wanted to do stuff like that!”

“Of course.” As the others joined in agreement, Amane did manage to return a bit of their warmth. She was rightfully proud of yesterday’s work. She’d impressed them with her perfect routine. It felt good to boast of a skill that none of those older than her could. Though it was shameful to admit, Amane was really looking forward to tomorrow’s filming. She wouldn’t even mind Shidou’s attention, if he was part of the group praising her talents.

As Yuno went on about the cute costume she’d get for filming the next day, Amane heard Mahiru from behind her. She’d grown more agitated with Jackalope, and her voice raised.

“What paperwork? This is horrific. You should be able to take her out of there in an instant.”

“We’ve got some unorthodox methods here, but I am not stealing a child. Please, Shiina, I’ll tell you when we make progress. Heh, don’t let this turn you into a kidnapper.”

“Well,” she could hear Kotoko, “it’s better than a murderer. Which is what I may be after watching this. And for real, this time.”

Fuuta joined in. “If I ever see any of these fuckers in person --”

“Keep your voice down,” Kazui said, “that’s her family you’re talking about. …Not that I disagree. But she doesn’t need to hear that.”

“Why not?” Fuuta muttered. “She was gonna do it anyway…”

It was true. Though, her motivation had been righteous, virtuous. Theirs was out of vengeance. ...Though, was vengeance in another’s’ name better? What about vengeance in her name?

“Either way,” Jackalope said, “I’m doing everything I can. You’ll be the first to know, okay?”

Amane tried not to dwell on it. Today, she just needed to hold her head high and do her duty, no matter how difficult things became. 

And she had always excelled at that.

So, she sank into the warm bundle. She leaned into Kotoko beside her. She accepted a drink from Haruka. She talked with the others as they asked more questions about her upcoming routine. Conflicting thoughts about what was wrong may have plagued her, but in that moment, she knew for certain that this felt right.

STATION 19 HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!

I am BEGGING every single one of you on this app to help me and the rest of the fans save this show. It has one of the few wlw couples remaining on television for one thing, and for another the cancellation makes no sense.

It is ABC's top show, it outperformed Grey's Anatomy (their other main show), they hired new show runners, they moved to a new studio, it was their top-rated scripted drama, and it pulls in millions of views each week despite the lack of promotion. The cancellation makes no sense, and a lot of us suspect it has to do with the actors and writers being on strike and a deal being struck with Ryan Murphy about 9-1-1, which is hella unfair if you ask me. The two shows can coexist, just like Good Doctor and Grey's Anatomy do.

Not to mention they cut it down from its normal episode count to ten episodes, and they expect to be able to wrap everything up within those ten episodes?! No, no, no!! Maya and Carina (the wlw couple) have finally gotten to a good place and we're about to finally start their journey on having a baby after two seasons of them teasing us and us waiting for it, and they just up and cancel it.

And that's not all. The representation on this show was astounding. They had members of the LGBTQIA+ community, they had dealt with topics like racism, COVID, misogyny, SA, mental health, alcoholism, and so much more. This show is diverse, interesting, and definitely SHOULD NOT be ending after only seven seasons.

Plus, they dropped this on the cast and crew with no warning. As in, they found out only briefly before us fans did. If that isn't shady, I don't know what is. They deserve so much better, and so do we.

So I am asking for your help. I don't care if you are a fan or not, I am pleading and imploring you guys to help. All you have to do is sign. Sign the petition, that's all I'm asking. Please. Please. Please. Much of the cast and crew have signed it, showing they are in favor of saving their show after having this news dropped on them like a bomb.

If you're on twitter, please please please use the #DoNotCancelStation19 and #SaveStation19 and help us save our beloved wee woo show.

Help me, the fandom, the cast, the crew, everyone who loves this show, save it. This cancellation is unjust, and we all deserve so much fucking better than this.

help, now that i have stopped tearing up at every mention of the series, the young royals forever documentary and the bts videos have brought my past obsession with film-making back-

More Kae thoughts on him being a parent—deffo would have his hand forced to actually tell sb about his Khaenri’ahn heritage and especially the ties his family has to the Abyss Order, bc the last thing he needs is for the Order to interfere with his life/get ahold of his kid for one reason or another. Preferably the revelation would be for a partner bc they’re easier to trust, but if he’s single at the time, then Noelle or Lisa would be most in the know alongside Adelinde.

[moghedien]

not that I've been watching every aloto cast thing youtube has given me in order get the faintest hints of info or anything

but when Abbi was telling the story of her car breaking down and getting trapped in a tiny town in Nebraska with her fiancee and dog, and the mechanic guy that was helping them thought they were sisters and they didn't say otherwise because they thought that might be for the best and then she continues telling the story and at the climax she's like "Jim had really made our day, us sisters" it really fucking killed me
