I am completely in love with the Z twins, I think I see a lot of my type in them which is probably why 😅 Do you happen to have a artbreeder or faceclaim for them? I just feel like that would help visualise them better

HELLO HELLO, VERY SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY BUT I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT EVEN SUPPORTING CHARACTERS ARE GETTING SO MUCH LOVE 😌 BOTH THE TWINS WILL BE VERY PLEASED (and lowkey flustered) BY YOUR STATEMENT

I DO HAVE ARTBREEDER PORTRAITS OF THEM BUT IT'S EXTRA HARD TO FIND A FACECLAIM THAT FITS THEM ENOUGH IMO 😞

okay now imagine instead of those rounded pupils, they have vertical ones like cats do. my photoshop skills are low so i didn't know how to alter those pupils 💀

I support women’s rights and women’s wrongs, so I wrote about how Gossip Girl Season 2 embraces both with Monet de Haan’s rule.

ggrb 2x09 review

a single scene of monet and her family (a rare occurrence) is more interesting than the writers making more trying to push the teachers being these moral beacons of light i said what i said.

monet’s burberry fit ended flop keller girlie pops off w the preppy spoiled rich girl fashion excellence

i feel like i’ve seen so much climatic stuff involving julien and audrey but the fact that the show has become legit all abt them and the teachers (kate is awful and the guy she’s w isn’t any better just bc he has a superiority complex so i hate him more than kate) makes me so annoyed

it’s legit going in circles, audrey is a little more dynamic because she’s testing out the triad, then the only time we see luna is when max is stepping away from audrey to give him advice that also goes back to also benefiting audrey even if it also benefits max and aki, and the only time we see monet is when she’s benefiting julien. i love this episode being a little more abt her which is what we deserved all season. entitled monet giving kate shit is what i love to see

then julien also going to luna for emotional support but she’s a lot more self involved???? and it’s solely to benefit julien and make her feel better abt how her sometimes selfish actions hurt other ppl but the problem is julien is always acting before she thinks and w audrey she never lets audrey in on what she’s abt to meddle so i’d be annoyed w her too. like u can’t just blow huge life altering moments on ppl for self gratification which seems to be the true motive of julien’s actions, she’s always hoping she’ll be thanked. which is why sometimes she goes to luna first only in the hopes luna will bid her head and congratulate her for meddling.

and everyone in 2x09 including zoya and luna calling julien out on her selfishness? that’s some good shit!

also audrey and aki were lowkey starting to annoy me esp w the way they treated max. i did like how they did communicate in 2x09 after confronting julien focusing on max rather than themselves like they’d done earlier in the episode. considering this no wonder he always goes to luna for advice on basic communication

also luna being the voice of reason for luna and max eventually has to stop???? i agree w @lawolfe who put me on the prospect of luna x max in the first place. there is always an issue of some sort of feigned ignorance, miscommunication, or invalidation in makidrey which bugs me bc i really want them to work but the pattern of how max

i loved makidrey but not the way communication has been poorly done, usually singling out max and aki/audrey kind of invalidating each other’s problems and also the codependency on audrey’s end leading aki and max to not even being able to be alone together bc they were just supposed to assume what audrey was feeling despite no direct communication.

also i feel like monet and savannah as an actress as well as zion luna is are underutilized it’s getting ridiculous???? they have amazing screen presence but are always assisting julien and max but i at least feel max as a character hasn’t done anything to annoy me that hasn’t been held accountable.

monet getting more screentime this episode should’ve been done every other episode we saw aki x audrey going in circles w miscommunication it was established they’d moved on from and it hurting max. fave episode so far bc damn how hard was it to give monet luna and zoya screentime

over all…fave episode by far. 8/10 the others are 6s. however these are my conditions:

—give zoya/monet/luna more screentime outside something just benefiting audrey and julien. they’re all sick of her and need to unite

—fewer teacher scenes unless it’s kate interacting w the de haans

—i’m ok w makidrey blowing up bc of the lack of communication. it makes me sad bc they had so much potential and julien was just a catalyst. also lawolfe slowburn pls

Did you hear about the Gossip Girl reboot getting cancelled? While I can’t say I’m surprised, I am a little frustrated with what feels like the wasted potential of the show, especially as it was picking up a little bit these last couple of episodes. I’m curious on what your thoughts were, and if there was any part of the reboot you enjoyed or thought had potential, or if it was all just kind of forgettable to you?

Yeah I’m pretty indifferent to it all. I thought it had potential in the beginning, I think I’m one of the few who genuinely really liked the idea of teachers being Gossip Girl but the way the show went about it was just so…ugh. Also to be really frank, I think Tavi’s a bad actress and the guy who plays Jordan is even worse, and the teachers ended up largely very unsympathetic. The Julien/Zoya conflict feels like wasted potential to me. My favorite part of the show, Max & Luna’s dynamic, was minuscule. I thought Eli Brown’s acting was good but they never knew what to do with Obie. I hated Audrey and Evan Mock can’t act. Monet got interesting in season 2 for like half a second but pairing her against Julien (Jordan Alexander also can’t act) to try to make them the next Blair/Serena didn’t work for me. And every time they brought up the OG I was screaming “LET IT STAY DEAD”!

Anyway, I hope the crew gets new jobs quickly and I hope this is all just going to be a footnote in long careers for Whitney Peak and Zion Moreno but yeah. They probably never should’ve rebooted Gossip Girl in the first place.

So we know a lot of things about vampires and dullahans now, but what about other supernaturals? I have many questions:--- How do witches work, and the hunters too? How are the hunters able to detect supernaturals? Are they all 'gifted' with the sight, if yes then is Tachibana has the same ability? How do demons and cambions work, do they all follow Hades since he is technically the God of the Underworld?

this is indeed a lot of questions 😭 but i'll try my best to answer them.

WITCHES

witches are creatures born of blessings from hecate, goddess of magic. despite their scary reputation in the west and association with satan, most of them are peace-loving people who only want to study magic and mind their own business.

distinct marks of a witch (it's a gender-neutral term btw. and so is ‘warlock’, which are a different species from the witches, against popular notion) include unnaturally coloured, glowing eyes. the colour of their eyes are actually their magical aura.

a sigil of their coven naturally appears on their body when they are born. there are very rare cases of witches having no sigil if all the members of their coven die.

HUNTERS

many of them are gifted with the sight but for the rest who don't, they acquire it through magic. pretty ironic, i know. tachibana was gifted with the sight since they were born, it was the reason why they usually had terrible nightmares of the strange beings they kept seeing everywhere.

even though the hunters can (and will) kill some supernaturals one-on-one, depending on the amount of training they've had, they usually avoid doing it in places packed with humans.

nowadays, the independent hunters usually wait for bounties before killing a supernatural, while the government employed ones wait for orders from the supernatural committees themselves.

DEMONS & THE UNDERWORLD

demons are just supernatural beings who, much like their biblical myths, punished evil souls in hell and also roamed the earth for their own fun. they have their greek counterparts too, most notably the three furies.

while there are still some demons in hell who are watching over the souls there, most of them are on earth and enjoying the wonders that it has to offer. seriously, you would not want to stay there at a sweltering temperature 25/8 and punish a never-ending line of souls.

contrary to popular beliefs, most demons are pretty chill and are fond of this world. they even settle down and have children with mortals they fall in love with. the senarath twins are a product of a wily succubus falling in love with a charming human businessman.

demons are scarily good at deceiving even supernaturals so it's very hard to tell if someone is a demon or not. their glamour is seriously nothing to scoff at, they even give the fae folk a run for their money.

the underworld is a pretty complicated place and there are so many entities that rule and reside there. yes, they exist there together but don't actually interact with each other unless it's absolutely necessary. as for how to know which beings and gods you would find there, it all depends on your beliefs. for example, TCS MC would turn up in the greek version of the underworld while SoV MC will end up in helheim (or simply, hel), which is the norse equivalent of it.

CAMBIONS

cambions, on the other hand, don't exactly receive that amount of mastery over their glamour like their hellbound parent. they are good at it, sure, but they usually don't fool other supernatural creatures as well as they fool humans.

the distinct traits of cambions are their cat-like, slitted pupils and eyes that shine a little brighter when they are using their powers (a bit like witches, although their glowing eyes are permanent).

their nails can also turn into sharp talons and they are born with leathery wings which they can grow and retract with age as they gain more control over their powers. the latter is a very painful process though since the bones in their back have to literally shift and break to pierce through the skin and extend into wings.

if you think that's bad, imagine how mama seranath managed to push not one, but two winged demonic spawns out 💀 thankfully, guinevere knows her magic, along with being a literal demon, so the damage wasn't that severe and she recovered pretty well. otherwise, r.i.p that 😺 ayyy
