Quick reminder that you can appreciate the complexity of a character whilst ALSO criticising their wrongdoings.

Just thinking about how I never got to see Season 5 Spencer with his hair up and now I’m in mourning.

[writingwhiz]

Never understood why people hated slowburns until I reached the end of season 1 of an ongoing series and realised I need to wait at least another two years for them to literally just kiss…

I was just on Instagram and uh…

I can’t even bring myself to fan girl because Cameron always likes her post. Like ALWAYS. And like it’s weird to ship real life people in real life time, and I wouldn’t want to be one of those people who make it weird for the actors.

But after THIS???

IS THIS REAL? AM I BEING DELUSIONAL???

Just a quick reminder that with every next episode, the trauma only gets worse!!! <3333

The only lessons I’ve learned from Criminal Minds is to never help strangers and trust nobody.

I cannot rewatch season 1 of criminal minds without mourning how un-traumatised everybody was. Hotch had literally ZERO wrinkles. JJ had such a baby face. Morgan had HAIR. And don’t even get me started on baby Reid ✋😭

What? Sitcoms aren’t all the same!

Sure, the main couple are a slow-burn friends-to-lovers that last for three seasons. And…yeah, maybe the guy did fall first. And, okay…so the girl was dating somebody else before them. And…alright, after her relationship is rocky, the guy gets into his own relationship. And…I mean…yeah, there’s a few episodes where things are really awkward ‘cause one of them confesses. And, sure…there’s the eccentric weirdo that everybody loves. And the absolute diva who carries the show.

But they’re not all the same!

I was just thinking about how Oz interacts with kids on such a wholesome level until I realised that I cannot digest a piece of media without over-analysing it so here we go.

We’ve seen how Oz treated Gavin in episode 5, and it’s the first insight on how Oz views, acts, and actively connects with children. The avengers comic and lollipop. The game on the PC. Gavin literally ASKING for “Detective Oz”?! It’s so clear that they wanted to characterise Oz as this protective, almost paternal character. In that SAME episode, when he and Gavin’s father are in the elevator, he says how he “wouldn’t have wanted to grow up without [his] dad”.

That’s ALSO the first time we get an insight on his backstory. We know he had a close relationship with his father in episode 13, where he also says that it’s “weird to live in a work without BOTH your parents”.

This guy has lost the two people who he had known his whole life. The people who raised and nurtured him. Who protected him.

Maybe that’s why he has such a soft spot for kids. He feels obligated to protect them because he knows how it feels like to lose that support.

(I’d also like to mention that episode where Oz literally takes care of Chloe throughout the entire time with no complaint. That holds a special place in my heart.)

[writingwhiz]

I’m gonna need to see more of Oz taking care of kids in the next season thank yewwwww☺️

[writingwhiz]

It’s always during exam season when I find the best binge-worthy shows smh.

mockumentaries, my beloveds

[writingwhiz]

This is an apology to everyone who has to put up with me and my new obsession of the month.

I won’t stop…

[writingwhiz]

After Lockwood & Co, I can’t bring myself to watch a new series without any confirmation of a second season.

All Netflix has offered me is heartache and trust issues.

[writingwhiz]

Not to be dramatic or anything, but Abbott Elementary and St Denis Medical are saving modern sitcoms.

[writingwhiz]

Did you say grumpy x sunshine? And slow-burn???AND it’s a police procedural?!

I’m sold.
