THROWBACK TO THIS DISASTER INTERVIEW ABOUT EPISODE 9 (THE GREEN COUNCIL) 🤡

1. About Alicent's 'annoyed' feelings about Aegon becoming King!!!! (Because apparently there was NO valid reason to fear that her family would be wiped out if Rhaenyra, with Daemon's help, took the Iron Throne) Sure, Daemon would be as merciful as Rhaenyra (her ideal heir to the Iron Throne and besty) and spare Aegon, Aemond, Daeron and Helaena 😭🙆

2. About Fire and Blood accounts of Rhaenyra's weight. *Note that Helaena was also recorded as being plump from childbirth, not just Rhaenyra.*

3. About what Alicent would have done, had Rhaenys not escaped King's Landing and remained her prisoner. *While claiming that Alicent lets men 'steamroll' her, Hess also claims that Alicent would have the agency of letting Rhaenys live as a prisoner of war* 🙃 Kilner also throws some shade , dismissing Alicent's attempts at a unviolent resolution as 'still working within the patriarchy'.

4. About the choice of making adult Aegon a rapist right off the bat. Remember, kids. He's still a grey character. At least he's not sadistic like Joffery Baratheon. 🥴🥴🥴 Also, let's just ignore the actor's protest against that questionable writing choice before filming. They let him improvise in the end anyway, as a consolation prize. 🙃🙃🙃🥴

DS9 writers:

the x-files in 3.17: what if the antagonist of this episode was a megalomaniac who was actively killing himself in order to feel a modicum of importance by literally stealing the free will of others to the extent that they end up killing themselves on his orders. what if mulder more or less explicitly said onscreen that he believes scully's life is worth more than his own and then proceeded to put his money where his mouth was by pulling the trigger on a gun to his own head without hesitation but managing to fight off mind control to avoid doing the same thing to her. what if the most dangerous monsters of all are, at their cores, nothing more than little men trying to feel big

the x-files in literally the next episode: what if cat eat people

i had issues with a lot of things from TUA4 and on the top of the list was how they did absolutely nothing with klaus’ powers this season.

when he was stuck in the grave, he should’ve been able to free himself without allison’s help. we’ve seen that he can channel spirits to do physical things, so why couldn’t they have dug him out of the grave? especially after his fight with allison where he said that allison was always looking to save him. he should have saved himself and allison should have come right after. his incomplete character arc could have easily been resolved this way.

[maroonmused]

i still can’t believe they used the instrumental to cigarette daydreams for this mission like that was honest to god attempted murder by insomniac. the song, the nostalgia for the kids they were before emily and ben died and harry got sick, the warm autumn colors, the reunion patching together a pivotal part of peter’s life at a time he literally needs it most after getting fired from brooklyn visions. and in the scene before this, peter’s remembering may’s lesson about maintaining balance in his life then boom the return of one of the people who keep him rooted in life outside the mask when it’s so easy to breeze by it. first act of sm2 i love you.

[psychicsolanum]

they were so evil for cutting this. this man has not had a single moment of true peace from the first episode. he's never ever taken seriously by his siblings the whole show. and the one scene where he finally gets himself help, and is fully supported by his loved ones and they TOOK IT FROM USSS!

Look at the hope in his eyes for the first time in his life!! he has a support system that loves him and he has hopes of a future where he can love himself!!! this is character development and a satisfying arc!

like they knew they were gonna take it all away from him anyway why couldn't they at least give him this.

[warlenys]

of all the patient hilson parallels i think knight fall’s the most abominable the patient refuses to tell this woman he loves her because she’s engaged to another guy and “she’s gonna have a great life with him” meanwhile he’d “do everything i could for her, but even at my best it wouldn’t be much, and she deserves the best. guess i’d rather she be happy even if it means i’m not”. the next scene. house chooses to not sabotage wilson and sam’s relationship. throws away the blackmail lucas got on her. decides to let wilson be happy even if it means he’s not. what other conclusion am i meant to draw from this. they cannot have meant this heterosexually

[blackbatcass]

sometimes the ghost of kelley puckett (he is still alive) haunts me. does he know. does he even know. he’s so detached from the comics community and he’s such a private guy (I RESPECT THAT WHOLEHEARTEDLY) that i really and truly do not know if this man knows how much cassandra cain means to us. does he know batgirl 2000 is heralded as the bible of dc solo books, as a lot of people’s favorite comic ever written. does he know how much we love cass. how we write essays over her character and how amazing she is and how she changed our lives. does he know how adored his writing is. does he know he wrote the best comics character introduction of all time. does he even. know.

Guys, I’ve read the Wild Robot

And let me tell you, if I hadn’t recently taken a Children’s Literature class in college, I would’ve said this was the best middle-grade book I’ve read since elementary/middle school. I almost read this book in one night (I was sleepy 😴) like I couldn’t put it down.

The heart behind this book is astounding and it never shies away from showing complex and difficult concepts. You will fall in love with Roz and her gosling son along with all of the other animal on the island.

If you’ve got younger ones, I highly recommend reading this to them or having a little book club moment with them. However, be prepared for whatever hard questions may come your way (i.e. circle of life and climate issues). You know your child and how much they can handle/understand. If you’re like me and much older, it’s a quick read and a great way to finish off a long day. It’s a part of a trilogy and you bet I’m patiently waiting for my hold on a copy at the library.

If the movie is anything like the book (which, given a rewatch of the trailer, it’s looking like so), we are in for a special treat.

the bridgerton writers made a mistake in giving penelope more sexual tension with eloise than her brother

7x09 is titled "Unfinished Business" ....

Tell me that is not a revenge plot against Bobby. TELL ME. You can't. If I was not convinced before, I AM NOW.

hErE mE oUt.

I'm not saying they are going to burn down Buck's loft, I AM NOT... BUT, imagine Bobby is dropping a patient off at the hospital with Hen and Chim (I know this hardly ever happens but roll with me guys), and our friend, the Burn Unit Nurse, sees him, and is like...

"Bobby?" BECAUSE, he recognises him, from all those years ago in Minnesota. He lived in Bobby's apartment complex, they were somewhat neighbours, and he saw Bobby go into that vacant apartment that night (the night we do not DARE talk about), on his way to work, and was working a night shift at the hospital when suddenly, they get an influx of patients with burns and smoke inhalation from an apartment fire downtown, and he hears in passing from a nurse the address, and his heart sinks because no his fiance was at home asleep at that address and he hears from someone a few weeks later that the fire started in a vacant room due to an electrical issue with a space heater and HE JUST KNOWS.

And Bobby turns around to face him and is like "Sorry, do I know you?" Because Bobby was going through it back then, he doesn't remember this guy, and the guy is like, "Sorry, no, I was mistaken." And he walks away leaving Bobby all like huh.

Then the episode ends with the truck pulling into the firehouse and the camera pans out and we see BURN UNIT NURSE GUY STOOD ACROSS THE ROAD STARING UP AT THE FIREHOUSE BECAUSE DUN DUN DUN- He has some Unfinished Business to attend to.

If this so happens to lead to the burning down of Buck's loft because this guy does his research and he does some stalking and he sees a connection that Bobby has with Buck that he doesn't seem to share with the other members of the team, then well, ya'll didn't see it here first but I fucking called it if so, because you're telling me that is not a CRAZY storyline right there.

BUT, even if not, even if we do not get our beloved loft burning down scene that we have been writing and praying for on Fanfiction for years, you cannot tell me that there is not going to be some kind of dark revenge plot going on in the last four episodes. This nurse is about to cause some HAVOC I CAN SENSE IT. MY SPIDEY SENSES ARE TINGLING GUYS.

Anyway, @whollyjoly and @thetangycheesemanwithaplan had the absolute joy of hearing this from a very sleep-deprived me last week and now that the episode titles have been released, Buck's loft burning down and Burn Unit Nurses revenge plot is going to be my new personality trait. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

good spn that lives in my mind dean kills john pre-series and he's faking the whole search to keep sam around but at the same time he's being haunted by john's ghost, seeing him in the backseat of the impala and on hunts and he's losing it but he can't let go. he knows exactly what the tethered object is, but he can't. let. go. and we see him wrestle with this alone for the whole season. and they go back to lawrence and they release mary's ghost. but john's still there, lingering. weighing on dean. and dean's filled with a mixture of guilt and righteousness. that's his dad. but he had to kill him. but part of him is still a little kid. and he can't let go, he can't let go. he thinks maybe, john's choosing to stick around. stick with them, for once. so how can he get rid of him? and so he's wrestling with it, alone. he's the only one who can see john, and slowly dean unpacks his feelings and his anger and his trauma and eventually he accepts that he can't live like this, still under the looming presence of his father. so then we finally see him take off the too-big leather jacket he's been wearing all season and throw it into the fire (symbolism !) and he gives it a good ol' salt 'n burn and john's ghost goes up in flames in a parallel / call back to the pilot. poetic cinema

@lurkingshan I loved your tags. Hope you don’t mind me stealing them to use here because

Mostly because, Yak gave the biggest younger sibling energy here and I was reminded why, as the oldest, I nearly always vibe harder with the elder sibling. I’m not even mad or disappointed. Younger sibling fails to see the sacrifices that have been made on their behalf or how they’ve been protected from the worst of their family, or worse is mad about it:

Like, the whole fight that Yak and Yei are having is about Yei not involving Yak and treating him like a baby and here is Yak failing to see anything from Yei’s perspective because he’s been sheltered. (This is not all younger siblings but it’s not uncommon)

Dad is only the enemy if you both see him as the enemy and as Yei has been largely shouldering his burdens alone that his parents have left him with, I don’t think Yak ever viewed Dad as the enemy we all did. Yak seemed genuinely pleased that their dad showed up in the boxing gym a few eps ago even if it was to mostly yell at Yak for failing. He seemed upset when Yei cut the conversation short and made him come practice instead of continuing to engage with their dad. As an audience we all got it but, Yak didn’t realize how much Yei had on his plate and what he was struggling with. Some of that is on Yei, but most of it is on their parents (including mom who was like it’s up to you now to take care of your brother) rather than tasking her husband with that, and Dad for just dipping. Some of that is that Yak honestly has never actually thought about it because Yei and Cher take care of everything.

But it’s also easier to make Yei the villain and be mad at Yei because Yei isn’t going to go anywhere. Yei is the most stable adult in Yak’s life (after Cher of course). Yei will take the punches and keep showing up because that’s who he is.

Dad on the other hand is wet paper who cant take a punch and Yak still wants something from him, approval, a second chance at goodbye…which is common amongst the younger siblings.

Yak won’t come around for real until Dad survives cancer and dips on them again. Because that’s how that usually works. Or you know, asks for the deed back or suggests that the boxing gym is part theirs now because his wife helped. 🫠

Anyway, team Yei should stay mad at dad and everyone should have backed him. My bluest boy remains the best and deserves the whole world.

[pathetic-gamer]

this outfit is still so funny to me. who the fuck chooses to dress like this for a rainy day in Nightmare City? and he wears it in the writer's room too! like, baby there is no one there to see you, you could dress however you want and you chose a suit and tie???? of your own free will???????
