#this series is heartwrenching :)

JASON SMILING.

[pedanticat]

While the breakup was inevitable (especially if you read the comics), I think the show handled it phenomenally with it being even better than how it was done in the comics. Steven Yeun and Zazie Beetz absolutely killed it in this scene with you really being able to hear the heartbreak in both of their voices as Mark and Amber realize that for as much as they love each other, they can't make this relationship work. Then you have the "I can't live in your world, I want to, but I can't." which👏👏👏. That is some absolute peak writing. I haven't consumed many stories that actually treat the breakup as a heartbreaking moment for both characters involved since it's usually just treated as a minor obstacle to prevent the main romance from happening sooner. While I'm fine with that in some cases, I feel like it's a disservice when the main character's temporary love interest is a genuinely interesting and fun character who has a good rapport with them. In that same regard, it has been a nice change of pace to see characters who do care for each other attempt to make things work and talk about the issues before accepting that what they have just isn't going to work.

It's also a good commentary on the nature of superhero/civilian relationships since while someone like Debbie was able to handle the stress of it, Amber isn't able to do so. And that doesn't make her weak or a pushover, it makes her human because not everyone is built to handle that kind of life and it's totally understandable.

I think Endeavour is a cautionary tale about what happens when you stop going on nice little walks with your friend/partner. like maybe if morse and thursday sat together in the park for a little while they'd calm down

good Lord, today's episode is even better :'( oh, wow... i've not felt this deeply for a drama since love for love's sake... oh, God. this episode overwhelmed me in the best way possible. it's brilliant! everything about it!

the tension between tian and wang is slowly dissipating as they've reached common ground. when tian says he wants to look forward and don't mull over the past [somehow insinuating his desire to embark on this new journey with sheng wang T_T]. AND THEN! the whole 'jiang tian doesn't unpack his luggage' because he never has a sense of home/belonging... fish paste!!! that's like piercing a dagger into my soul... i just know, at that moment, the angst will be delicious.

this drama has me in a tight chokehold and i'm enjoying the pain :') it's so good... oh, Lord. i'm so obsessed with this drama it's worrying...

3 reasons to watch the Fallout TV show:

1. He wiped it on the curtains

2. The heart wrenching loss, guilt, grief, and change that each individual character must face and go through in unique ways that highlight their ways of coping through the wasteland, where trust is worth more than gold, and anybody you know could sell you out for half a cap

3. Will you make my dick explode

Y'all I'm hella bored, can someone send in jason grace scenario prompts like they did last time (but this time it doesn't have to be angst if you don't want it to be) just random jason prompts I can write with? I'm deprived of any ideas 😩

So are we just not gonna talk about the fact that now that Luke said “look you didn’t ask to be a halfblood” while working with Percy, chances are that Percy’s “look I didn’t want to be a halfblood” is QUOTING LUKE while retelling the story? Because I’m in tears

isnt there like a documented thing or smth where it's like the more mature or serious a media is the less serious the fandom acts about it and then then the less serious a media is the more serious a fandom treats it. like how youll see edits of breaking bad where walt is in skyrim and then youll go over to like a disney channel cartoon fanbase and youll see people writing peer reviewed MLA citated essays about them

[thoughtfulstudentsalad]

Anytime I think of Suhak and the trio I get so sad, like seeing moments of Hak still protecting Su-won after everything... 

It’s so obvious that they all loved one another deeply in a life-long friendship/familyhood kind of way, like the bonds were THAT strong except Il and Yu-Hon’s dumb shit corrupted it. The saddest thing is that Su-Won literally HAS NO GRUDGE OR DISTRUST TOWARDS HAK. Like with Yona, she’s related to Il and is Hiryuu but Hak has zero connection and has been NOTHING BUT KIND TO HIM. 

I mean seriously, the trio is the heart of this story and it’s so tragic because I know they can’t be besties anymore for the rest of their lives yet there was NOTHING as close to them as THEM ok, NOTHING!

please elaborate on your jimmy angst pretty please

ok ok since you asked so nicely 😌😌

at the start of third life the watchers give jimmy a choice, an ultimatum if you will. he could go about the death game normally… or he could cut his golden thread shorter than everyone else’s. it would keep everyone else alive as long as he survived. he could live and postpone the inevitable for everybody… so of course he did it. and then he died and everybody else did too…

the watchers gave him a second chance, a second death game, a shot at redemption. he cut his golden thread again, determined to actually do it this time. he died again, and everybody else did too.

the third time, when he walked up to his golden thread, it was intertwined with someone else’s. the watchers wouldn’t tell him who it was, or why everyone was paired off… he didn’t want to cut someone else’s thread short alongside his… but they could keep each other alive! and he could finally prove to himself everyone that he could survive. tango killed him first, but the guilt still settled in his heart.

he was given a fourth chance, he took it, almost habitually. he really felt like it was his chance, he had twenty four lives for void’s sake. even if he died first, they’d all live long, prosperous lives and he would too! it was perfect… until he had seven minutes left and he was bargaining for his life (everyone’s lives) so desperately…

and a part of him… such a selfish selfish part of him, was always relieved that he died first because he never had to live in a world without anybody… they might’ve not always had him but he always had them.

The creators of Link Clink are so smart - I didn't even realize I needed a scene of Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling fistfighting some guy, but they delivered it perfectly

There's something about Ray saying all of that to the Sand in his imagination that makes it that much more raw. It allowed the focus of that scene to stay on Ray, which was so necessary for that scene to hit home. I think he always thought that love would 'save' him somehow, but never really thought about what it would save him from, or how. This scene is him finding that out, and it's both a salvation and a heavy, heavy weight. With every word you can see him feel the weight of all he's saying head-on for the first time. It's the way he is finally letting himself accept how deep his pain goes without wanting to kill himself. Because at the same time, he's realising that he's found a happiness he never before knew he could have. It could be gone now, but this isn't about that. It's about discovering it in the first place and feeling greatful that it's possible, that it happened, instead of losing himself even more because he may have lost Sand. It's such an awful and wonderful thing to know yourself and that scene is Ray finally doing that. No wonder I can't stop watching it and sobbing with him every damn time
