hii axelle! 😊 can you recommend me best joss shows? i already love gawin and now i'm intrigued by jossgawin pairing (also i love vampires), but i'm completely unfamiliar with joss' previous work

hi anon, of course I can! :)

so joss made his main role debut in one of the most iconic thai dramas of all time, 3 will be free! it's a polyamorous show in which he plays a bisexual sex worker who escapes from the mafia. it's a thrilling show that literally is one in a million with beautiful lighting & incredible cinematography, and I could NOT recommend it more!!!

joss also played in friendzone 1 & 2 by the same director jojo tichakorn, who's known for his ensemble cast shows with lots of diverse queer characters. spoilers most of joss's shows have been by p'jojo lol! in it he plays a hot love interest, and while I don't really care for his character in this (apart from the hotness of course 👀), friendzone is a really solid show that I love, especially season 2!

fun fact joss was responsible for the first ever lakorn I've watched (thai soap opera), game rak ao keun! and it's honestly a really good lakorn, of course it's very over the top but the story is super entertaining & the acting excellent! watch the alternative ending tho!

then joss was also in my favorite storyline of good old days with namtan! good old days honestly was a really good show who deserved more love imo, and I really loved joss's storyline especially!

joss was also in mama gogo, another jojo tichakorn show where he plays a gogo boy with so many other faves of mine! it's peak joss hotness & absolutely one of the cutest shows!

then in 2023, joss was in loneliness society, which some people didn't like bc it's very lakorn-adjacent so can be very infuriating, but I really liked it! first of all it's the first time joss delivers a truly great emotional performance, but also his character was so cute & charming in it, and very different from all of his others! usually he always plays roles that rely on his good looks & abs, but not this time, and I really appreciated it! (also it's the same pairing as game rak ao keun!)

and lastly bc it's not that great of a show but joss still honestly ate, we have the player, another p'jojo show. joss is his usual hot self & has some homoerotic tension with mek jirakit's character which delivers on one of the most queer scenes I've ever seen, and just for that, that show deserves to be on the list!!! (do not watch it just for joss being potentially queer lol, the two gifsets I've made are all we get!)

[plumdonutsv]

the way my favorite part of rwrb movie is the scene where henry was sad and alex was drawing circles on his back. that was perfect to me even tho it wasn’t a happy moment. the cinematography ate right there

[mirohtron]

HEY GIRL

Watched / read anything good recently?

was watching dungeon meshi but then that gay ahh bath scene came on and my moms in the room w me so like 💀💀💀💀 reading 1984 rn bcs assignment, im ten pages in bcs i keep fawking playing honkai star rail 😭😭😭 omg, but i was in the midst of watching dil se before i realised i was getting distracted too easily and it was keeping me from enjoying it properly. was only watching it bcs i couldnt find bombay (1995, not the city 💀💀) anywhere. probs bcs nobody gaf abt archiving desi movies 😭😭😭😭 its tough out here, but like for dil se honestly i rlly liked the screenplay and the way it was directed even tho like . i literally only got to the first song of the film 💀💀 even then. also oh my god srk has not a SINGLE dancing bone in his body like ive bitched abt it before but oml hrithik roshan and tiger shroff are actually carrying the reputation of bollywood's male actor's dancing abilities on their back....now if only theyd stop FAWKING taking up propaganda films 😭😭😭

i actually kinda need to leave a separate paragraph for how bad srk dances like its not just when he was young...in chaiyya chaiyya literally EVERYBODY is on beat except him....and it KEELS me because ure telling me u cant keep tempo ??? brother 😭😭😭😭😭 but ok even in the present like, he stays on beat (barely) but hes SO STIFF?? i like saw some clip of him dancing with an actress, it mightve been deepika padukone in happy new year ??? oh my god it was SO bad. he was SO stiff. it KILLED me. bollywood actress go through HELL but sanjay dutt srk and a bunch of other male actors get away with not being able to dance well 😭😭😭😭 my queen kareena kapoor took dance classes before filming k3g yet srk and amitabh bacchan got away w shava shava....Sick and Twisted world we live in like....anyway i actually dk if thalapthy vijay is a bhakt but this is y he solos even tho i have verithanam trauma....sings n dances well etc, this is y bollywood flops consistently actually

pls take that paragraph lightheartedly if ure desi 💔 ok anyway

the god of small things by arundhati roy is good....i only read like 20 pages tho but ik plot 💀💀💀💀 i think the seven moons of maali almeida might also b good, its by shehan karunatilaka

ok last unfinished thing im gna recommend....Hot Tkae but....i liked saltburn...i still have the 2nd half of the movie to finish (stopped some time after the reveal) but again, ik the plot 😭 i still have some problems w it tho but its not rlly abt the hypersexuality. cinematography fucked. 4:3 aspect ratio choice? ATE. SO BADD. but ill also need to finish the film. but tbh its obsessed boy x rich boy trope wasnt rlly handled well in my opinion, micah nemerever's these violent delights solos in that area. and i think the story is flawed

ok NOW. i liked fleabag. actually i LOVED fleabag. think its a masterpiece. both seasons but esp the 2nd one (felt more refined but compared to other shows, s1 SOLOS). the boys s4 is dropping!! invincible s2 was alr i bet the animation studio suffered hard tho bcs wtf was that style change mid season 😭😭😭. and i don't rlly think the direction in which Nolan's character arc is gna go to will turn out that great? also, i loved gerta gerwig's ladybug! its actually crazy how she made ladybug and barbie both . one is amazing. the other is well uhm.

oh also i liked inglourious basterds and pulp fiction . quentin tarantino kinda looks like a walking talking serial killer mugshot tho i saw an interview where he was asked why kill bill had so much violence and was honestly surprised by how girlypop he was. not forgetting him choking diane kruger on set tho !

watched batman begins. it was aight 😭 rewatched matt reeves' batman right after. liked it betterr. i LOVEDDD heartbreak high, s1 and s2 !! usually with shows i only like s1 best, but w heartbreak high i literally ADOREDDD s2, the finale was so good !!! im also watching the gentlemen (the show) rn, and i rllyyy like it hehe. tried watching tick tick boom again bcs I'd actually dropped it midway when it had first released bcs that one scene where she was like "you're thinking of a song rn aren't you" was so stress inducing that I had 2 click away 💀💀 n then i forgot abt it. picked it up again and omg it's actually so good how did I miss it the first time 😭😭😭

oh yeah I also liked the fall of the house of usher . also ! another incompleted thing but im also in the midst of watching the three of us (film). its so good !! i loved the atmosphere and cast performances can't wait 2 see how it turns out :))

[ev1llesb1an]

Film bro lesbian era pt 2

Okay so I'm gonna rate my fav films I've watched recently bc I'm such a total film expert and I totally know what I'm talking about (I don't) trying to remember all the stuff I've watched is a task in itself omg

Moulin Rouge - 8/10 SLAY although it depressed me greatly. Everyone in the cast ate it up and the music was literally incredible but the little jukebox moment threw me off a little

10 things I hate about you - 9/10 so cute!! Watched this because Moulin Rouge made me so miserable but you can't beat a classic no complaints

Poison - 8/10 Benedict Cumberbatch scares me sometimes but this was actually really good, probably my favourite of all the Roald Dahl/Wes Anderson films that just dropped on Netflix

The Rat Catcher - 6/10 no idea what was going on tbh wasn't as easy to pay attention too but the cinematography was rly good (I'm not a media expert so idk) only short so you might as well watch it

The Wonderful Life of Henry Sugar - 8/10 I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would! The story is really interesting but I feel like that's a given - odd time to drop all these films tho? idk maybe that's just me

The Menu - 10/10 SO GOOD I actually felt like a real film bro for a sec bc I loved this and I rarely agree with anyone ever. Cast was incredibly obviously cannot recommend enough but how did it take me so long to watch this???

My brain is rotting so sorry if this makes 0 sense

[sab-teraa]

They had cetin have a reunion with all his horrible family but when he went to pick up ates from kartal himself they decided to cut away even tho that's the only family member he went to hold himself

Hey hey <3

EXACTLY! The cinematography and direction of these past few episodes have been so so horrible. In fact, I feel as though it has always been pretty weak (other than the first two episodes). That attack scene was honestly the WORST scene I’ve watched in tv history …. And I watch a lot of Indian serials 💀

Also, thank you so much for pointing out that baby ates is one of the family members he willingly went to!!! I didn’t even notice that detail 😭 omg my heart.

I really feel as though this episode should have paid a lot more attention to the family scenes … like the e*fley wedding is important … but there were so many important details between the rest of the characters that were completely ignored … and even when focus was placed on these characters, the camera often blurred them out and focused on someone else … WHO HAD NO RELATION TO THAT SCENE.

I’m going to be so p word off if Ferhan, Kartal, Cetin and Bahars revenge are in the hands of efe for the sake of Leyla 🤷🏽‍♀️ With all due respect, this is HORRIBLE writing.

Ferhan, Kartal, Cetin and Bahar were all abused and tortured by Baybars … they deserved a storyline which focused on them getting their revenge. There was no need for them to switch it into efe avenging Leyla 😒

Also, there was no need for efe to enter the m*afia storyline in this manner … the mans entire purpose was to uphold justice as per the law. They could have linked his relationship to the m*afia with the storyline of why he dropped out of law school + his fathers involvement/corruption. Horrible horrible horrible writing.

Ugh I’m just so over this show. I wanna quit, but I’m still holding out hope for Bahar-Kartal vs Kilic 💀 but given that that storyline is now a Leyla-Efe vs Kilic storyline … I know it’s never gonna happen lol.

Please pardon my horrible English lol … grammar and structure tends to leave the chat when I rant

[seherie]

okay so the first half of kgf? meh as fuck, esp the terrible romance but the second half?? jesus fucking christ i ate that shit up like omg. the cinematography got so much better and even tho he barely speaks any actual dialogues, it's all very impactful AND THE WORLDBUILDING?? it's fucking fantastic and messy and i kinda regret not watching the second movie now while it was in theatres

[whathas4letters]

Ok, saw Cruella

Cinematography? Beautiful

Costume design? Just stunningly gorgeous. They really go ham with this film.

Acting? Emma Stone and Enma Thompson ate their roles.

Music? Some hit or miss but overall good.

Plot? Weak start, strong middle and ending.

The dogs? Absolutely hideous CGI creatures, plus some shitty CGI at the end of the movie.

Overall, a good film of its own, a solid 8.

If only it weren't named Cruella.

Cos as much as I love Emma's acting, that's not Cruella, the villain of the film is more Cruella than her. I guess that's the point? That's she's her foil? But honestly they could just makes her a new character rather than using the Cruella name. The whole point of the original villain is that she's so crazy over fur that she's not afraid to skin puppies, that's her character. Adding more dimensions is different from redesign the whole thing. This is a different person entirely with different kind of crazy. Not every character who's crazy and love fashion will be Cruella. Every character will have their own unique trait and Cruella's is well, she has no moral and she kills puppy. This person isn't like that. Maleficent works because even tho the character's fleshed out, her actions still true to the original and are well justified. This film is...an entire different backstory that's no way can lead to the person that is Cruella we know. And if you come to me and say that she doesn't have to be the puppies killer in the og then why even bother use her name? Is like making Maleficent not cast the spell on Aurora, the Evil queen not poison Snow White with an apple, Hook not hate Peter Pan. Sure those characters have their own interesting personalities but you can't take away the action that makes them who they are and still want to keep their names for promotion.

Well, I say if you see this as an AU and this Cruella is just a different person with the same name then this is a really good watch. Totally recommended. I'll go as far as saying that this is the best Disney live-action based on the production quality alone.

AMAZING!! not action heavy this time, but the information i gained  was a big insight on what’s to come! lots of things are gonna go down and i’m s c a r e d. ready for next sunday 😈🔥

It was fire 

I really loved this episode, better than the last episode. Animation quality was on par with movie quality. MAPPA is giving us their best, ALL HAIL MAPPA.

1 word. Awesome

I love the pacing on this episode and the small details in it. 

Give me more!!!

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WAS YOUR FAVORITE SCENE/MOMENT? 142 Responses

Reiner monologuing about the 104th at the dinner table took front and center seat this week with 43% of viewers favoring this scene the most. Trailing behind, 16.9% enjoyed the scene where Reiner meets up with the Warrior Cadets, and 9.9% enjoyed seeing the human forms of the Cart and Jaw titans for the first time.

WE FORGOT TO ASK LAST WEEK D: WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SCENES/MOMENTS FROM EPISODE 60 WAS YOUR FAVORITE? 142 Responses

Last week, the highest percentage of people (at 30.3%) enjoyed Reiner’s, “I’m sick and tired… of walls.” 19% favored the scene of Zeke’s scream turning Eldians into titans. 17.6% were most hyped up over Reiner and Galliard wrecking Fort Slava.

MAPPA WENT ALL OUT WITH THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IN THIS EPISODE. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE CINEMATIC PANS AND ROTOSCOPE ANIMATION? 142 Responses

Overall, 75.4% of the total vote went in favor of the animation this week, with 33.8% of viewers stating they felt as though they were watching a movie, 32.4% enjoying the fluidity, and 9.2% enjoying the upgrade from the stiffer animation in the previous season. 10.6% felt the rotoscoping and cinematic shots were a little too over the top for an anime, and 10.6% are indifferent. A small handful aren’t enjoying the cinematic animation at all. 

Hated the rotoscope, loved everything else.

It was a bit off-putting at first but I've grown to really like it

it was different but i liked it! it was cool. reminded me of some anime movies i’ve seen, though unique in it own sense

Thought it was great and fluid just at some points like the scene with udo on the docks felt a bit choppy.

Beautiful work, it honestly felt like I was watching a movie. From cinematography to shot framing to the animation. A dialogue heavy episode felt exciting, which is amazing.

I really liked the animation

The animation is so glowy

NOW THAT WE’VE GOTTEN TO HEAR A LITTLE MORE OF THE NEW OST TRACKS, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE SOUNDTRACK SO FAR THIS SEASON? 142 Responses

People are overall enjoying the new music so far, with 41.5% feeling it really compliments the change in atmosphere and 35.9% REALLY enjoying the songs and finding their usage very good. 9.9% feel they’re just ok while 7.7% miss the music being composed solely by Sawano. A smaller handful aren’t enjoying the new music.

They DEFINITELY bring the right vibes lol. again, different, but i like it!

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE CLOSEUP OF ZEKE’S MOUTH? 141 Responses

In our first of a series of unnecessary crack questions, 31.9% find Zeke’s mouth closeup to have been pretty cool animation. 24.8% are very concerned about Zeke’s treatment of his lungs (do shifters get lung damage?). 20.6% didn’t care about Zeke’s mouth at aoo, while 14.2% would welcome a smooch from him. A handful of people just think it’s gross, lol.

Fucking hate zeke smh 🙄

He smokin a spliffy 😂 not no ciggy 

what chapstick using??lmao.  it was a cool scene

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION ABOUT ELDIAN ASSES? 140 Responses

Eldian asses didn’t turn out to be too controversial, with the majority (42.1%) just wanting to know the details of Zeke’s secret ass wiping technique. 10.7% just think Eldian asses are neat, and another 10% are more enthusiastic about some nice Eldian asses. 25.7% are confused about the question’s inclusion, and 11.4% don’t understand why this was asked at all.

DO YOU WANT REINER TO GIVE YOU A HEAD PAT? 140 Responses

In a close race, 42.1% of respondents would be thrilled to get a nice head pat from Reiner! 41.4% apparently don’t, and just wanna know what the heck the pollsters are smoking while writing up these questions. 11.4% do NOT want Reiner head pats. :(

ZEKE SEEMS TO BE KEEPING HIS ROYAL LINEAGE A SECRET FROM MARLEY DESPITE HIS LOYALTY TO THEM. ANY IDEAS WHY YOU THINK HE IS? 139 Responses

Zeke, the “wonderboy” (as General Calvi puts it) who sold out his own parents, has never been doubted by Marley in terms of his loyalty. Yet, for some reason he seems to be keeping his royal bloodline a secret from them. When we asked why that is, over half of respondents (56.1%) state that they are suspicious of Zeke and his real motives, believing that he is plotting something under Marley’s nose. 25.2% feel that he doesn’t want them to know he’s royal so that they can’t abuse his power, and 12.9% think he simply doesn’t let them know so that they won’t kill him. 

I forgot he was royal 

maybe they will force him to continue the bloodline through children, or maybe he will get used or killed

Well if they dont know hes got a hereditary advantage over both his predeccesors and succesors, he'll always be recognised as the best beast titan and heaps better than my boy Colt.

WE LEARNED IN THIS EPISODE THAT FALCO’S LAST NAME IS “GRICE.” DO YOU THINK THIS WILL HOLD ANY SIGNIFICANCE? 139 Responses

32.4% of respondents don’t remember anyone named Grice. To recap, “Grice” is the name of the person who recruited Grisha Yeager into the Restorationist group, and is the one who was kicked off the wall for the restorationist titans to chase after once they were transformed by Marley. For those that did remember this seemingly random person, 52.2% feel that this relation will be brought up again and have importance to the story, and 12.9% feel it doesn’t really mean anything other than being a neat little detail. 

I feel like you asking this implies that there’s something to it

Not sure yet. But, Falco and Colt seem to be really caring and aware of how the Marlyeans treat Marly-Eldians (at least compared to the other warrior candidates). Also, when we saw their parents they seemed kind too, showing lots of concern for Colt. Maybe they learnt what the former restorationist/other Grice was doing and his cause of death and sent their kids to the warrior program for the same reason Grisha and Dina did Zeke? My bet is Colt & Falco are the restorationist Grice's nephews?

YOUR REACTION TO THE CART TITAN BEING A CUTE WOMAN? 140 Responses

Pieck deserves a colorful pie chart, and she got one! 25.7% say she’s best girl, 22.9% think she’s utterly adorable. 13.6% of viewers already knew about Pieck before getting to this point and were unsurprised. At a tie, 11.4% of voters think that it’s amazing, or they were shocked to find out that the quadrupedal nightmare titan is really just a short, cute woman.

I worked it out last episode since the armbands appeared to indicate the 'type/status' of Eldians, but I was a bit surprised last episode I thought from the trailer the red bands may be special lineages i.e. Ackerman, Oriental clan, and Riess/Fritz. Still think she may be from the oriental clan though since the only characters we've seen with a similar appearance to her are Mikasa and her mother.  

she kinda shawty 👀 but she looks scary too

WE WERE FORMALLY INTRODUCED TO MORE CHARACTERS THIS WEEK, SO WE WILL ASK AGAIN… WHICH NEW CHARACTER IS YOUR FAVORITE SO FAR? 143 Responses

Last week, Falco was the most favored of the new cast with only 40% of the vote. This week, he shoots up over 10 percentage points, with 50.3% of viewers feeling the most positively toward him. Pieck comes in second with 17.5% of the vote, and Gabi is hanging on with just 12.6% of the vote. Colt and Galliard are trailing just a little bit more behind them. 

Gabi best girl

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FATE OF YMIR? 144 Responses

While we did get teased about Ymir’s fate in Season 3, seeing the scene in full can definitely have more of an impact. 37.5% of respondents have accepted the notion of Ymir dying, and feel that it was a decent end for her character, all things considered. 22.9% are in complete and total anguish over her fate, and 20.1% are simply just disappointed and had hoped to see more of her. A very small percentage think that this is actually a red herring, and that Ymir is somehow still alive somewhere.

Already saw this in season 3

Appropriately grim and realistic given what lengths Marley will go to in order to protect themselves 

I am in so much pain please euthanize me that’s my wife

i didn’t really like her anyway so it’s fine(but it was still a bit sad) 

Kinda hate crimey considering shes the only OUT (@jean) charcter. Nah jk. Like wasnt shocked tho coz we saw Galliard last ep

Let's fucking GOOOOOO

Galliard will NEVER replace Ymir, I already hate his bitch ass

So Galliard really is a replacement scrappy eh? I already hate him JUST for that.

TURNS OUT THAT GALLIARD IS MARCEL’S BROTHER. DO YOU THINK THIS WILL BE SIGNIFICANT? 143 Responses

Over half of respondents (52.4%) believe that Galliard’s relation to Marcel will have significance at some point. 32.9% think that it might, but don’t want to say either way. A small percentage feel it’s just a detail that won’t matter. 12.6% have completely forgotten who Marcel is (to refresh your memory, Ymir ate him before RBA attacked the walls).

DO YOU THINK THE MAN WEARING THE ARMBAND INCORRECTLY WILL BE IMPORTANT? 144 Responses

At 73.6%, the majority of viewers are eyeing the random amputee soldier who Falco briefly helped out, believing that he will be important in some manner moving forward. 13.9% believe that it’s just a random soldier, and the scene maybe meant more in terms of showing Falco’s kindness. 12.5% aren’t sure what to make of the amputee soldier at all.

LAST WEEK, WHEN ASKED WHO WILL INHERIT THE ARMORED TITAN, THE MAJORITY PICKED FALCO. AFTER THIS EPISODE, WHO DO YOU THINK WILL INHERIT THE ARMORED TITAN NOW? 143 Responses

Falco is still the most favored to inherit the Armored Titan from Reiner with the percentage of people believing he will jumping from 37.6% to 48.3%. 21.7% are still confident that Gabi will ultimately be the one who gets to eat Reiner. 28.7% believe that neither of them will inherit Reiner’s titan at all.

DO YOU THINK THAT REINER REALLY BELIEVES THE PARADISIANS ARE DEVILS? 143 Responses

The overwhelming majority of respondents don’t believe that Reiner really means what he says when he calls the Paradisians “savage, heartless devils.” Only a small percentage feel he does really means what he says, and a handful of others aren’t sure.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT REINER WITH WHAT WE’VE SEEN IN THIS ARC SO FAR? 143 Responses

The majority of viewers feel very positively about Reiner and are enjoying seeing more of him, with 46.2% stating that Reiner is really starting to grow on them, while 26.6% already liked Reiner from the start. 18.2% are beginning to feel more empathy for Reiner, although they still aren’t huge fans, and a smaller percentage don’t like him and haven’t been swayed by the narrative as of yet. 

Always seemed like there was lots to him, enjoying the furthered development into his psyche :) 

he’s so hot omg. i feel so terrible cause he’s clearly suffering from ptsd and his disorder too. he seems torn. i do like how he is playing a major role so far. 

I’m in love with Reiner and always have been

Meh

Reiner became 1000% hotter after his life fell apart

Kinda thought she wanted to fuck her cousin lmao

Makes me horrified how casually they talk abt eating Reiner

They had the same last name so I figured they must have had some relation.

Yee haw

THE TYBURS ARE SAID TO BE AN AFFLUENT FAMILY THAT HOLDS THE WARHAMMER TITAN, BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY CONFLICT. WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO GET INVOLVED NOW? 139 Responses

While we still don’t know much about the Tybur family, we thought we’d check in and see what preconceived notions viewers may already have about them. 27.3% believe the Tybur family feel the same as Marley and see Paradis as a threat. 30.2% think that the only reason they’d want to get involved in the conflict is if they get something about it. 41.7% think that the Tyburs are super sus and ultimately will have their own agenda for attacking Paradis. 

They got the good life already, why battle?

WITH AN ATTACK ON PARADIS BEING IMMINENT, HOW DO YOU THINK REINER WILL REACT WHEN HE RETURNS TO THE ISLAND? 139 Responses

We’ve seen Reiner struggle over the weight of his sins in previous seasons, with Ymir even pointing out that he has developed a type of “split personality” to cope with the horror he forced onto the people of Paradis. With the prospect of returning to the island, we asked how you think Reiner will handle the situation. With the highest percentage, 32.4% of respondents feel that Reiner’s mental state will make him completely ineffective if he returns to Paradis. 28.8% think he may even completely switch back to his “soldier persona” once he faces his former comrades again. 26.6% believe that he will keep himself together and stay focused on the mission handed to him. 9.4% think he will find a way to avoid going back altogether. 

Honestly, don't know.

I wouldnt say ineffective, probably just ina daze of sorts. Like hes not fully in the moment.

Idk if he is even gonna go

Not Sure

I hope my boi Reiner makes it through!

REINER FLASHBACKS NEXT WEEK! ARE YOU EXCITED TO FINALLY GET THE WARRIORS’ BACKSTORY? 142 Responses

The vast majority are happy to be finally getting the Warriors’ backstory in the next episode, with 69% feeling overwhelmed with excitement about it, and 19.7% just happy to finally be getting to this point. A smaller percentage don’t really care about learning their backstory and a handful of people are actually dreading it. 

I loved the baby warrior flashback and can’t wait for next week.

ON A SCALE OF REINER TO ZEKE, HOW EAGER ARE YOU TO GET BACK TO PARADIS? 141 Responses

While there is a handful of people who are enjoying the new perspective and getting to know these new characters in Marley, the majority of viewers are (unsurprisingly) eager to see what’s going on with the original cast after the 4 year time skip and the cliffhanger at the ocean in season 3. A message from manga readers: we know your pain, just hang in there!

This arc isn't really doing it for me. The story is only interesting when it focused on the 104th.

If their goal is to make me sympathize with the Warriors it ain't working, I frankly don't give a crap about their sob stories and want to see Eren and friends wreck shit for them

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE?

Animation and graphics quality is amazing. The sea was CGI too which feels a bit too detailed compared to other things. The plot and vibe is amazing. I like the WW2 style of things. There are so many interactions coming just the thought makes me hyped up. I can easily rewatch it and notice new details and i enjoy it too. Feels really packed and intense.

Solid, loved the animation props to MAPPA, cant wait to see Reiner's character development.

Kinda just people walking around with HELLA ptsd.  Overall kinda vibey Very reminiscent of seas 3 part 1. I will say kinda tgf about these knew kids accept Colt, just wanna see the ogs and Jeans side part. I also HATE Reiner but.........dare I say.....he's growing in me???? Not gabi tho 

Great episode, the trailer's beginning to make a lot more sense now. I didn't expect that guy with the long blonde hair declaring Eren as the enemy (from the trailer) to be part of the Tybur family (maybe I'm wrong here but he looked identical to one of the Tybur family members in the photo Zeke showed.) I assumed he was maybe the Marley leader haha. I think he may be the warhammer titan but it's hard to tell at this point. Regarding the Tybur family, another curious thing is how they are celebrated internationally not just domestically for their help during the great titan war. I am curious whether Marley only treat the Tybur family well because if they didn't that would create issues globally? It seems like the Tybur's have lots of power. But, I wonder if the war hammer titan will be a letdown... I thought it would be the 'big boss' of the titans but after learning that titan doesn't go through training like the other titan shifters and never fought I feel like it's a 50/50 on whether the shifter will be strong or not... I also feel like the guy Falco spoke to was Eren, and this could hint at Eren noticing and possibly trying to indoctrinate Falco? and he was possibly watching Reiner talk to the kids? That was probably Pieck though. Curious how Pieck's father was shown but not mother, he also didn't look like he was from the oriental clan maybe we have another Mikasa on our hands (half Ackerman/Oriental clan) that would be cool, maybe a little bit fanservicey tho.

I like that the focus is on world building right now

I’m just so excited to see what’s coming next

It was friggin awesome but I’m curious on who fell off the roof 🤔

Who is the guy who jumped and died ? :(

7 + 16

7. can you swim?

yes !! i was on my YMCA swim team for like two years lol. funnily enough (not really) i couldn’t swim before that :)))) lmfao i did like swim team tho. i never ate more dinners than i did after swim practice

16. a netflix series that’s your favorite?

I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THE GET DOWN IT DESERVED BETTER AND EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE WATCHED IT. THE ACTING, THE PLOT, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY, THE DIRECTING, ALL FLAWLESS. AND EVERYONE WAS FUCKING QUEER. SHIT DUDE

also if you have the stomach for huge amounts of very exaggerated but still mildly disturbing gore, santa clarita diet !! it’s REALLY funny, and timothy olyphant has unnatural levels of hot white dad energy that are only excarberated by how much he loves his wife in the show. lol

[blurglesmurfklaine]

26-29 and 31-33 for the weird asks :)

Hey alli!!! I had this answered but TUMBLR ATE IT BC FUCK ME SPECIFICALLY

26. do you believe in aliens?

Absofuckinglutely lmao, I think it’s kinda weird to not believe in aliens tbh? Like, out of the hundreds of thousands of galaxies and stars and planets you think we are the best this universe could offer??? Nah, aliens are real and we haven’t seen them because they are staying far the fuck away from us

27. books or films?

yes ♥️

OKAY THIS IS ACTUALLY SO HARD THO BC THEYRE BOTH SO DIFFERENT AND GOOD!! Like I don’t think movies are any lesser a form of media than books because sometimes a single shot of cinematography or the look on an actor’s face can be worth a million words, but also in books sometimes books give you insight to character’s thoughts/feelings/reactions that movies simply aren’t capable of giving so they’re just so different??

I think tho if I had to choose, I would choose movies because I think they’re easier to share/experience with other people

28. an unusual song that’s your favorite?

This one was hard bc I have a whole playlist of songs I found in WTNV and while this one isn’t so much unusual as it is just indie, I literally am never able to listen to it just once.

Each verse is about a different war and (I think) how religion is used to justify it and I really think the third verse is about Trump because the lyrics are “the boss looks down upon it all, from his tower’s windows tall. He says ‘I know how to play this game, and everybody knows my name’. He preys upon the people's fears, tells them what they want to hear. And they celebrate his victory on the front of tabloid magazines” and it just shakes me it’s so good

29. the last thing you ate?

So so so so so so so many McDonald’s, but I’m about to eat cheese dip rn lmao

31. have you gotten bit by a dog?

yep, but it was a little dog so it didn’t really hurt lmao

32. do you write better with a pen or a pencil?

Pen!

Thanks so much for the ask!!! :D
