[cruciomione]

think i finally figured out sydney’s age using real evidence and not just vibes and voices in my head. and it’s crazy bc i guessed sydney was 26/27. and I wasn’t that far.

Sydney earned her culinary arts degree at CIA located in upstate NY. Apparently, it takes less than two years to earn that degree. Assuming she graduated high school at 17/18, this would put her at about 19/20 when she graduates and also when she goes to NYC for a food tour.

i got to this conclusion trying to make a timeline for carmys career (which made my head hurt). We know Carmy is 28-30 bc he’s the same age as claire a doctor who’s in her residency and that’s usually the age at which you start. I was confused about how long he spent at EMP. Fishes takes place about five years before s2 , and carmy is said to be in Copenhagen working at NOMA, putting him at 24/25 in this episode.

His cousin Michelle offered for him to come to NYC. So assuming he made the change in the following year that would mean he was at EMP for about 4 years until he has to go back to chicago after his brother dies.

I still dont know where the french laundry or any other of the places or cities carmy has worked at fit into this timeline. I know he leaves his house after high school and doesn't go to college or culinary school i believe so I wonder how he got his start, to be featured in food and wine at 21 and also work at the best restaurant in the world by the time he's 24....insane. i hope we get a clearer picture in upcoming seasons.

back to syd....

So we know about 4/5 years before the start of the story, Sydney and Carmy are in NYC. Sydney is 19/20 and Carmy is 24/25. They have about a 5 year age gap. Therefore Sydney currently is 24/25, possibly 26. And I only say 26 because i cant believe she worked at so many places (including Michelin star restaurants), drove for UPS (or was that when she was at school? after?), started a business, and then had that business fail all in the span of 4 years. crazy. my girl needs a hug

also makes me wonder how far removed she is from Sheridan Road? like when she applies to be a sous chef at the Beef was this something that happened a couple months before? a year?

all things will be clearer with future episodes i guess.

i just find their lives before they met extremly intresting and love how intertwined they are 5 years before they even laid eyes on one another. fated fr

i want a flashback episode of sydney herself but i also think a flashback episode of the day sydney went to EMP would be cool too. Like dual POV we see Carmy being miserable, Sydney becoming inspired. also would be cool if they really played into the fated aspect. have them cross paths without ever meeting. like have Carmy get on the subway the same time sydney leaves it to get off at a stop (SCREAM).

#sydcarmy #the bear #sydney adamu #carmen berzatto #im sure someone has already figured this out but i just love ranting

[mariejordans]

Marie giving someone a heart attack and popping half cate's arm off for Jordan I'm screaming the second she did so instinctively she didn't even realize it she just reacted from her emotions and I love that. Also I think the reason the episodes are so short and we see a lot of romantic moments between the male form of Jordan and Marie as opposed to the female form is because they changed half the cast and I think they had already started filming ??? And Jordan was supposed to have a twin and reading the articles the story must have changed a LOT, it seems like it was supposed to be a proper college show about young adults as supes navigating that world and relationships etc and then they decided to make it a huge part of the boys story

NO LITERALLYYYYYY IT WAS SO INSTINCTUAL marie did not hesitate to protect jordan like that is TRUE LOVE. soulmates, if you will 🥰

also i knew that they had to recast some of the characters (specifically jordan,) but idk if it happened while they were filming?? if that is true (if there’s someone who can confirm or deny this 😭,) i feel like that definitely could explain why the limoreau romance arc feels kinda underdeveloped

(also, i just want to say, i’m so glad they did not go the twins route for jordan, not only bc i love jordan and everything about them and wouldn’t change them for the world, but also bc the male twin’s name was supposed to be MARK.

as in, MARK LEE. from nct. i would not be able to take him seriously, i’m sorry 😭)

but it’s super interesting that originally it WAS just supposed to be a superhero show at college and tbh, i wish they had kept that aspect. i’ve said it on here at some point, but the concept of superhero college was sooo compelling to me and we basically had that for like an episode and a half before the show got suuper plot heavy. i wish they had allowed gen v to stand on it’s own first before weaving it so deep into the boys storyline, bc it worries me that once the boys ends, it’ll pretty much mean the end for gen v too since the shows are so intrinsically linked now…

#i’m knocking on wood and crossing my fingers that gen v gets as many seasons as the boys does bc they deserve it #gen v #gen v asks #gen v rambles #gen v spoilers #marie moreau #jordan li #limoreau #cate dunlap #the boys

[rustedhearts]

i loooved emma morley omg!!! i initially watched the show, i will admit, due to some vanity because some girl said i had the look of ambika mod, and i wanted to see if it was true, but i ended up getting really into it, it was soooo good and so delicously heartbreaking in the best way. and omg i thought emma was the cool one, i felt like for a lot of it, esp in the beginning, dex was like, the annoying rich kid that needed to like, get it together comparitively more. i even remember that during an interview, leo woodall stated that he felt like the voice telling him to be better in the last episode was his own, but that it sounded like emma to dex because dex wanted to be a better person for her. one thing that i was sort of annoyed at was that i personally feel like we could have gotten some more familial background on emma, especially since she's played by an indian british woman, and i think her heritage could have offered an interesting new perspective for her issues and her life in general that the movie and book could not explore due to her not being a first gen immigrant in those variations, especially when we spent a lot of time with dex and his family!

i agree with the familial aspect of emma’s character, i would’ve loved to put a face to her parents since they were brought up frequently-ish and we saw so much of dex’s parents.

however.

given the ending, it was clearly more of dex’s story in relation to his love for emma than it was emma’s story. it was their story together, i guess, but in the end it was only dex’s story that continued. so, i think not going as in depth with emma’s character was just almost foreshadowing of her death.

i related a lot to emma. obviously the english major, graduating college bit, but also: her speech on the hill about how “boring” she was and “i bore myself” was like. i gasped! it was like peeking into my brain. being boring is something i’ve always fretted about bc i’ve been told i’m “boring” because i tend to stick to myself and isolate. i just saw a lot of myself in her character as a whole!

if you do, in fact, look like ambika mod then you’re so gorge!! but i already knew you were gorge a long time ago just from your vibe 💓💓

Thai BL Favorites List Tag Game

thank youuu mel @justafriend-ql for tagging me!!! And to @thatgirl4815 for creating it!

I’m so bad at picking favorites so please excuse the fact that I have like two answers per question.. since this is a Thai bl list I’m not listing gls or non Thai series or else I’d probably list like 3+ per question fnskfjfj

Favorite bl: bad buddy or not me (PLEASE DONT MAKE ME CHOOSE). They’re both very different but very important in their own ways. The bad buddy experience is incomparable and the beauty of not me and its basis in reality is historical

Favorite pairing: following suit, patpran & seanwhite. Both series weren’t just plot driven, they were character driven as well (possibly more so). Each are fantastic, though wildly different, romances.

Most underrated actor: my boy chimon! I think generally people know he can act but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gained more recognition after dangerous romance aired. (Also bonus, stealing Mel’s answer cuz sing always needs more attention he can do any and everything!! I’ll eat up any role he plays. I always do)

Favorite character: really hard to choose. maybe Sean (from not me again). I’m ngl I blocked someone once bc they talked a bit of shit abt him. He’s never done anything wrong in his life <3

Favorite side character: yok from not me. I’m gonna keep putting not me here srry but NO ONE will ever be as slutty as yok was. Not even First in only friends. He encapsulated Slut energy in such an immaculate way. (OR heartliming. They stole the show in moonlight chicken for me!)

Favorite scene: the pride flag scene from not me. It’s one of the most impactful scenes I’ve seen in any ql and I love the reason why it exists in the first place!

Favorite line: the build up to patpran’s rooftop kiss. Got me holding my breath screaming crying heart racing you know it. We’ve all been through it. I have it copied into my notes in case I ever need it (or just to. Cry idk)

Most anticipated bl and why: hmmm probably cooking crush literally just cuz of offgun in a romcom bl lmao I luv them. The pics they’ve uploaded lately have had a different vibe from the mock trailer and I’m liking it! Maybe cherry magic too as I’m curious to see how it’ll be adapted to Thailand as a remake

Healthiest relationship in a bl: patpran. Do I even need to say more? They might’ve had a little drama before they got together but you HAVE to have a healthy mf relationship to maintain it while “lying” saying you’ve broken up to your parents & some of ur friends

Most toxic relationship in a bl: vegaspete. See they’re lowkey more toxic in my head than they are on screen. Like yes vegas electrocuted Pete’s balls but he could’ve done worse and I think he should’ve! The toxic aspect was what made it fun (also who would I be if they didn’t make it on a fav Thai bl list at least Once)

Guilty pleasure series: idk what I’d consider a guilty pleasure BUT I thought the first episode of tharntype (which I actually only watched recently lmao) was kinda camp. Like it literally OPENS with Type saying he loves college except for one problem… GAY PEOPLE EXIST 😡🤬 that’s comedy. I burst out laughing. Can’t say I love the show as a whole tho

Most underrated series (mel I love that u added this bc I kno exactly what to say): SECRET CRUSH ON YOU. I NEED TO PROMOTE IT. I think people who dropped it did so bc it was so over the top but that’s exactly why you should keep going??? It’s SO saturated and the emotions are ALWAYS at 100 it’s hilarious but in the moments it gets emotional (episode 13…) it GOES ALL IN!!! The constant secondhand embarrassment made me literally start sweating but in a good way?? Ppl who reduce it to just cringe have missed all the beauty it offers. I regret not watching it live and I feel like I don’t see enough people talking about it… also I am literally toh <3

Surprisingly some of my beloved Thai bls didn’t make it onto this list but it seems that’s cuz I still have bad buddy/not me brain worms forever 🙃 I stand by what I said either way hehe

I’ll tag @joyladagang @loserlesbianongsa @jyuubin @petrichoraline @iliketodecompose <33333

#I’m too lazy 2 put gifs/pics qhdkjds but half of these r just. the same two shows so fjjsdn #this was so fun to think abt tho I love an excuse to talk abt my favs!!! #tag game #b.txt #(there were also a lot of actors I could’ve said for who I think is underrated lol)

[igarbagecannoteven]

megs!! hello!! good evening!! i want literally all of the things from your ask game so just imagine im copypasting all the emojis. tell me all the things!! love you so much missing you lots xoxo give the babygirl a kiss from me since she will never accept one from me anyway

bella!! hiya!! good evening!! (of the next evening but the sentiment still stands lol) love you so so much prilla and i miss you i will give her kisses for you 💙

🤘: so. you get the cursed song since you cannot cut ties from me now that we've signed a year-long lease :)) the song i've been looping all day is BOGOS BINTED by Ida Deerz ft Kaj Strife & 2a03fox which is. well. furry music (with a suicide ment tw for anyone who needs it) and i am not (that) ashamed to say it kinda slaps (you probs won't like it tho sdklfjsdlkjfsd) i mean the chorus is hella catchy! non-cursed song recs are Kid Fears by The Indigo Girls and The Wood Song also by The Indigo Girls (also Galileo which is also by them lol)

👀: okay this is a series of three fics but riverdale belongs to the gays by boos is a *very* good canon divergent (mostly bc it was written during like season 2 or something) exploration of both canon & non-canon events through the lens of the core four all being queer (with ace jughead!!) but if you'd like something (much) shorter there's The Real Suspension of Disbelief by punk_rock_yuppie which is jarchie with ace!jughead :))

🖇️: okay so this idea is actually inspired by a discussion topic from a philosophy class i took so it's a little weird and angsty BUT it's a sci-fi/dystopian au where people use teleportation devices like the ones in star trek and person a, who's used the teleportation device in the past, dies for unrelated reasons (maybe a hovercraft crash or a plague or something idk yet) and their significant other, person b, who's half-mad with grief, breaks into the records of the company who makes the teleportation devices and gets the data for the exact molecular make-up of person a and makes it materialize on one of the transport pads, "bringing them back to life". *however*this is a past version of person a since it's been a minute since they used teleportation (i haven't decided how long yet, at least a few months i think) and so they think they're going to, like, visit their mom or whatever but then they teleport into a scene where their bf's getting dragged away by security and it's x months/years later. cue the realization that a version of themselves actually died, blah blah blah, the question of do they have a soul comes up bc i'm me, etc etc, some other loved ones not accepting them as the "real" person a,,, it wouldn't really be a "they came back wrong" story but there would be elements of that bc regardless of how long it's been btwn the use of the teleportation device and their death, there will be memories that person b has that person a does not, and there's the classic identity crisis aspect and yeah. classic cheerful megs fic sdkljflkdsjklfjsdlkjf

😈: inspired by the job hunting process, my hashtag hot take of the day is that a job where you're handling people's financials and requires you to have a college degree should pay more than a cashier job at a upscale supermarket where a high school degree is preferred but not required 🙃

🧠: okay so uh. major spoilers for dungeons and daddies season 2 below the cut if anyone cares about that lol

so the latest episode of my favorite podcast (also the only one i listen to regularly but that's not relevant) they revealed that my favorite npc (grant wilson, son of a pc in s1 and dad of pc in s2) was transported to the titanic just b4 it hit the iceberg along with his fiance (it was either the night b4 their wedding or the day of) and that's where he found, rescued from death, and then adopted his son (lincoln, one of the player characters) and like. listen. this is The Podcast Of Wild Ass Rides(tm), after all it was only a couple arcs ago that the cast of family guy fought the fbi over who could attack the cast only for a giant flying dog to rescue the cast, brutally murdering family guy and the fbi in the process b4 flying the cast up to heaven's gates (longggg story lol), not to mention all the main characters getting married to survive the vacuum of space, HOWEVER. all of those buckwild things all had mostly reasonable explanations if you've listened to the whole show (the fbi trying to break into hell, goofs realm being a quasi-family guy reality with cursed standup, trying to rescue a half demon from the iss, that sort of thing) and the titanic is the first thing that seems to come completely out of left field. does this mean there's some great significance about the titanic that we just don't know yet??? is it supposed to tip us off to the fact that grant's husband knows more than it's seemed??? was it just to riff on the movie titanic??? who knows!!! anthony (the dm) what are you planning!!!

#i have now applied to over seventy jobs on the website culinary agents ALONE #who tf knows how many on other websites i've sent out at this point #but!! today i lined up two interviews! one of which is tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed!! #desperately trying not to jinx this #answering mail #i'll send you a pic of the babygirl after kisses have been administered lol #roomie <3

[sofipitch]

I'm kind of scratching my head about what they want to do with Claudia and her storyline this season. I've been ok with ageing her up and Bailey is a phenomenal actress. She's mesmerizing. But even her capacity to captivate my attention couldn't stop me from seriously questioning her character arc.

The whole idea of Claudia (in the books) was that she was an adult stuck in a small child's body, unable to live "a normal adult life". Unable to be her own independent, free person. Always needing somebody to care for her and to help her with the aspects of her life that intersected the human world. She was doomed to be dependent on one of her parents forever. And she realized that. She realized that Louis would be the only one who would bend to her will, who wil go where she wants, who will do what she asks. She loved him I have no doubt, but she also knew he was the "weak link".

That's not what I saw in this episode. They had Claudia learn how to drive , they had her go to college, they had her living alone for 7 years. She did so more or less successfully (cause they showed she wasn't as careful with her killings like L&L), but she managed just fine for 7 years. She returned home out of loneliness (in her diary) and because of the SA. Which brings me to the other point of contention. I'm disgusted that they aged Claudia just to write a rape scene in her narrative! to make her tough!!

Where is the dependance on her parents? Where is the vital need for an adult to help her navigate her life? Where is the feeling that she couldn't live in that house anymore because Lestat was the autocrat controlling everything and it was either her or Lestat? Cause if she didn't like living there, show Claudia could just leave. Where are the manipulations regarding Louis? Where is the selfishness mixed with the rightful desire for independence?

Because show Claudia, as they have portrayed her, is just a reckless girl who can't control her killings, who came home to save her dad/older brother from the evil sadistic bastard that is her other parent. Her motivations are nearly selfless. After what show Lestat did, she's 100% right to want to take Louis from him and run to the other corner of the earth. Let alone kill him after that brutal beating. There is no ambiguity left. I can't see show Claudia as a manipulative little monster desperate for love. I see a younf vampire who can't control her powers but who wants to save her loved ones.

Yeah I 100% agree, I was willing to suspend disbelief about Claudia. Like Charlie thought she was still 14 so maybe that would still create road blocks to running away. Like can a 14 year old get a hotel room? Where does she put her coffin? Did she have to buy a new one? She doesn't know you can bury yourself in the earth so she COULD have been still lost and dependent bc of looking like a child but yeah they threw that away without a second thought.

And the thing is, in the books, Claudia maybe only indirectly dies because she ran away. But it's NEVER framed as "her fault she should have listened to Lestat". Armand killing her is something that both her dads take on as their own guilt. Claudia's death is always loustat's failure. The way Rolin Jones framed the SA it could be seen as a stand in for Claudia's death in a way, that "runs away -> gets hurt" but he clearly blamed her with his phrasing and that to me is disgusting and vile.

I agree that Bailey is awesome as Claudia, it's the writer's who dropped the ball and couldn't be normal about writing a female character. Her backstory is she was abused, she is never actually loved by one of her adopted fathers, she can't find romantic love, she runs away from home and is assulted, she watches her father/brother violently abused. The story they gave Claudia is just one of nonstop pain and I think the writers should sit down and evaluate why. And why the pains that she suffered in the books I guess "weren't dramatic enough". But Claudia is the gender dysphoria character and they basically stripped that one away big time for "child of abuse character"

#vc #asks

[spikedru]

hey i wanted to ask! bc i remember you saying how you felt about spuffy but you hadn't rewatched s7 yet. did that affect how you saw them at all? also if you're okay answering, what do you think of seeing red? I've recently begun to think of it as. kind of out of character. like i know spuffy was downward spiraling but it kind of felt like seeing red was "what should we have happen so that things get super bad and spike goes and gets a soul" and not actually something that spike would. have really done? idk. I'm not a spuffy fan but i do think things about that episode

i still havent actually rewatched s7 lol i had been rewatching s6 back in march last year but stopped right before riley showed up again and didnt get around to picking it back up haha. ill probably think about doing a full series rewatch and liveblog after i graduate college (so sometime during the summer) and actually try to get through to the end

that being said i have not actually sat down and rewatched seeing red since the first time i watched the series. so. almost a decade ? at this point ? if thats any indication of how i feel about that episode. it has been a while. its on par with the body in terms of episodes that i never really want to rewatch (though for completely different reasons, obviously) more thoughts below

the way i tend to view seeing red is that of poorly thought through shock value writing. i agree with you in that it feels like a writers decision to have the worst thing happen in order to motivate spike to seek his soul, and not something that feels correct to the character. already by that point you have spike reflecting on their tryst and realizing the way things were was not making either of them truly happy, so it would not take that much prodding for him to realize something had to change. there are other ways to get spike to his breaking point without having to subject buffy to sexual violence. even though their relationship was volatile and played with gray areas of consent, i never got the impression that spike would truly violate buffy's consent. i think writing in an attempted rape affects the way the audience views them on a much deeper level than the writers were expecting. because, a lot of the trauma that buffy endures through the show, while very real to her, has a fantasy element that places a layer of separation from the audience. most people cannot understand the despair of having to send your boyfriend to actual Hell, or the betrayal of being ripped from actual Heaven by your friends. but there are members of the audience who do know the terror and betrayal of sexual violence by their partner. so i think that aspect wasnt taken into serious enough account when deciding to have your main characters love interest and general audience favorite do something so realistically deplorable. thats why i think it was mainly a shock value decision rather than based in any way the character would actually act. not even to mention the fact like. most everyone else in the production hating having to film it and james marsters has said because of SR he will never do a scene like that ever again he hated it that much.

from the refresher ive seen of s7 (from people gifsets and spuffy scenes and meta about spike, the soul, and buffy etc) i wish we had got more of a buildup to a true spuffy reconciliation. there is so much happening in s7. so much that a lot tends to get lost or not as much time focused on in order to get to the very end. i do really think that buffy was incredibly moved and touched by spikes decision to get his soul back. personally i think the choice to get the soul is more impactful than the soul itself, as it demonstrates how remorseful spike is over the AR and his willingness to atone for it without expecting anything in return. and how buffy recognizes that and thats why shes able to forgive him and let him back into her life. but because there are only 22 episodes to fit plot into the reconciliation happens just. a little too quick. i had wished that. idk. it happened over 2ish seasons? so we see spike struggling to reconcile with his soul just a lil bit longer and him settling with it and buffy seeing that struggle while still wanting him around. idk. a lot of my problems with s7 come from pacing issues. while i have my problems with s7 as a whole, i do generally like the spuffy progression in it, even if i wanted it to take a lil longer. in all of buffys past relationships, there are things that happened that make her believe that she is somehow responsible for her partners turning bad, or thinking she is somehow lesser for being with them. but learning that spike got his soul back for her, something she views as essential and good, it shocks her that she could inspire someone to change that much for the betterment of themselves. and because of that she can truly trust him enough to love him completely.

so like long story short i hate that seeing red involved sexual violence and i wish there had been some other way to get to the point of spike realizing he needs to change, but considering the way s7 went i dont think it changes my perspective on their relationship that much. i think spike and buffy are one of the most interesting relationships on the show just by how much they change themselves and each other by being in their lives, and thats why im so invested in them

#very sorrry if this is rambly or doesnt make sense but i hope i answered your question ! #asks #seeing red /

🔥 + s4

omg buffy or angel... well i consumed at least half of angel s4 on wikia so

anyway buffy season 4! not my favourite of all the seasons but i like her... she's fun! buffy is in college! my friend goes to ucla so when watching the first few eps i would send screenshots to see if they could identify locations that was fun for me (severely annoying on twt to an audience of zero people while first watching buffy). she gave us relatable post-high school transition where you start to drift from your friends and feel confused but are really truly just vibing... all my closest friends are people i knew in high school so i liked that aspect. that one scooby hug. i feel that using giles's apartment as the scooby base rly encapsulates this bc as a place it is like the perfect transition btwn school library and magic box where they are in s5/6... she gave us tara and lesbian willow. she gave us recurring character anya. she gave us spike at his most pathetic <3 spike and giles as roommates and spike and xander as roommates... moments in history.

i do wish that they had kept maggie walsh for longer and committed more heavily to like condemning the military rather than having maggie killed off and just like giving riley a minor crisis about it in goodbye iowa? idk like the initiative is bad but i think they should have gone harder on the questionable ethics, beyond oz getting taken + maggie going off and creating adam. like i think that adam should have turned on maggie later on, this might also help to better explore the riley / buffy / adam as soldiers idea which of course buffy does subvert at the end by being a slayer with friends. and riley kinda sorta breaks free. but yes adam could still try to instigate the demons vs humans thing because maggie wants to create more of him from the destruction, then have him turn on maggie later down the line and idk still have to be defeated for xyz reasons, maybe he kills maggie because he is sick of being a War Machine but still wants to go ahead with the plan/doesn't know anything different. or something. i haven't thought this through i was just a bit annoyed at the time. also i mostly do not think about riley ever tbh but he is kinda cute for me to look at like as a lesbian. it's funny whenever riley and buffy give strong comphet vibes.

anyway again i like that nothing awful happens to buffy and there are a lot of solid episodes and nice moments... fear itself, freshman, harsh light of day, hush, something blue, a new man all come to mind immediately as fun times. "i'm nice to meet" "capricorn on the cusp of aquarius" "well, you were myth-taken" "you're gonna get heartburn" SO true. "or someone formerly dangerous and currently annoying <3" this year's girl/who are you get its own mention for epic faith moments... but yeah i appreciate the more slice-of-life vibe as the gang start to find themselves outside the confines of high school and i'm actually kinda sad that they dropped the college setting as much as i love s5. mostly sad that buffy had to drop out :( to conclude s4 is my good friend 🤝

#anon #thank u <3 i hope u actually did mean buffy s4 #💌

TMA Season 2

Ooooo spooky 👻

Jon said I am back at work before my doctor said it was ok and I am SO fucking scared

What If There Was A Band That Was So Fucking Bad

ACAB but I fucking love Basira and Daisy. Sue me.

I also love GERTRUDEEEE

It’s so fucking funny that Michael Crew tried to use Boneturner’s Tale to help him, it didn’t work, and then he’s like “oh well i’ll just take it to the library i guess”

The New Door feels very much like Hive and I love it

Gerard saving Andrea Numis from the Lonely by telling her to remember her mother when he’s on vacation right after being acquitted for his mom’s murder…. Gives me feelings

Tim canon bisexual 💙💜💖

Elias being a pothead in college is true character depth and development 10/10

Alexander Scaplehorn (the tax guy) is so fucking funny. Man cares so much about preventing money laundering that he survives the supernatural 🙏

Trevor the vampire killer canonically homophobic 😔

Jon finding out that Martin was lying about his qualifications and being so relieved bc 1) Martin probably did not kill Gertrude and 2) turns out that Martin is not an incompetent idiot, just a dropout

Not going to lie, I think I could’ve hacked it on Daedalus, but that’s just me

But also letting a private company shoot you into space to do isolation experiments is so incredibly dumb and Mr. Chilcott should’ve known better tbh

Agnes Montague saving Ronald Sinclair from Hilltop House via a searing kiss on the cheek… truly who is doing it like her?

We love a workplace intervention

The Buried coffin eats a cop so shoutout to the Buried I guess

Mary Keay and Gertrude have such a fun dynamic and I would kill for just a whole season of the two of them tbh

I think Binary might be my fave episode of this season. The statement itself is delightfully horrible, and the Tim/Jon fight at the end just makes it *chefs kiss* perfect

Jack Barnabas’s statement drives me crazy. Him saying he doesn’t think he has a destiny and Agnes saying, “That must be nice.” Him asking for a kiss and her crying after she gives it to him. Him losing everything after it, even though she dies.

The Book of the Dead is such a good concept.

A Long Way Down makes me sad ☹️ I’m a sucker for brother stories

The Kind Mother is fucked up. The aspect of Lucy having not even gotten along with her mother before NotThem replaced her makes me crazy

Jon is so fucking dumb. He listens to the statement about NotThem getting trapped in the table and is like “obviously I need to destroy this table” 😔

Jon telling Tim and Martin to take the next couple of days off fucks me up, especially after the time he spends listening to Sasha’s voice recordings. He doesn’t want to lose anyone else!!!

Tim and Martin going after him though 🥺

Also, oh my God, Tim and Martin just being silent for a full twenty seconds after the recording of Martin’s poetry gets played… truly awkward enough to make you forget about your friend who is maybe being hunted/killed

John worrying about conserving the tape to record himself being hunted and maybe killed… sir, that’s the Eye at work

Tim and Martin arguing about Tim being a dick and fighting all the time with John and Martin just wanting them to all be one big happy hostage family…. 🥺🥺🥺 they care about each other and I am dying

I fucking love the “taunt you into revealing your position” trope. NotThem telling Jon about how it hurt Sasha when she erased her and him yelling at them to shut up… yes!!!

NotThem about to kill Jon and him just whispering and apologizing over and over and over to Martin, Sasha, and Tim aghhhh

<rdj voice> there was a sewer man

Jurgen Leitner really lived in their basement huh

Leitner being a parallel to the Archivist and Jon being so disgusted w the way he uses and discards his assistants to horrible fates… sure hope that doesn’t come back to bite him in the future lol

“An angry goth” yo that’s my booooooy

Leitner is like, “I diagnose you with Voyuerism” and Jon is like, “This is so scary and I am gay and need to go cry brb”

Leitner talking to the recorder and telling Gertrude that she would’ve liked Jon 🥺

Elias said hello I am here to be evil and we have no choice but to stan

(Alternatively I am really glad I wasn’t on here during the peak bc Elias would’ve gotten sooooo annoying, but now I can enjoy my funny little murder man w no consequences 😈)

He <redacted> that old man 😳

Tim and Martin not seeing anything other than the body and just IMMEDIATELY assuming that Jon clubbed someone to death in his own office… can we get an F in the chat 😔

It’s 👁👄👁 time baby

i watched legends of tomorrow 5.12 “freaks and greeks” i enjoyed it a lot :) it is so bright and colorful and wacky, which is nice since last episode was very spooky and sinister. i enjoyed the college setting even though it was nothing like my own college experience it was still very fun to see. i also liked the focus on astra and on sisterhood/community, and how those two story elements came together. very nice episode :)

astra is the greatest i am already so down with her joining the legends. especially bc she’s so tall and she makes everybody else look short. this episode does a really good job of exploring how unmoored and out-of-place astra feels now that she is no longer a crime boss in hell or working with lachesis and instead is allied with a bunch of people who were her enemies. she has the trauma survivor problem where she has the skills she needs in order to survive in the situation she has recently left (literal hell, in her case), but she doesn’t yet have the skills she needs in order to get by in her current life now that she has left that situation. so she’s cruel and aggressive and independent, but only because she had to be. but now she has to learn to be different. 

astra accuses the legends of not accepting her as she is and trying to change her to fit in with them, and that’s not entirely untrue. but as charlie explains, the legends are very accepting of difference and only want to help astra become more functional and happy in her new life, and that will inevitably change her in some ways, but that’s not a bad thing, and she will still be her. i really really love that this episode explored the dynamic between astra and charlie, as that’s a dynamic i was really looking forward to seeing. if there’s anyone who understands the pain of being betrayed and manipulated by lachesis it’s charlie. and she also had a rocky start when she first joined the legends. it’s also kind of neat bc i feel like there havent been 2 Black women on this show at the same time so that’s interesting to see. i guess there was amaya and kuasa but they had a very different relationship. 

i think it makes a lot of sense that the legends would create a sorority in this episode since the cast has become so female-heavy in this season. it just makes sense to focus on those bonds of female friendship for an episode. i like how the legends’ sorority is a place where people can just be themselves instead of forcing themselves to fit into the standards that the other sororities dictate. it’s very in line with how the legends are all about helping each other to be their best and truest selves. i feel like this storyline shows how community is so important and you need the support of other people in order to thrive. and then the emphasis on finding community with other women is also really nice. idk i just liked it. and i liked how zari was especially excited at the idea of forming a sorority. it was cute. she looked nice this episode and also i liked her flirting with constantine a little. hehe

the mick and lita stuff continues to get me in my heart....i think it’s really good how this storyline thematically ties into the main storyline about not caring what the wider society thinks and just being yourself and knowing that the people who care about you will love you for being yourself. i know i keep saying it but it really is such a queer theme of this show, the importance of finding your found family and disregarding the people who look down on you for who you are. for this storyline in particular there’s also a class aspect which i think works really well. and since mick is an ex-convict it’s also a little about that. i just love how this father-daughter relationship is developing i just think it’s so sweet and touching always ;-; 

um i don’t think i actually have much else to say. super exciting that everyone is gonna be immortal for a day. can’t wait to see how that goes down

[misqnon]

hi, i just read all of ur posts tagged as misqnon's one piece liveblogging and it was so much fun T-T. im here to rant about one piece and im sorry.

i really love seeing people react to content i am caught up with and hold close to my heart.

i got into the 800s in the anime and stopped watching, took a break and then read the manga up to around 1060. but last month i decided to read the whole thing from the beginning and it is genuinely SO WORTH IT.

after u have caught up completely its super rewarding to go back and look at previous chapters bc its constant "oh my god look what was foreshadowed here??" and "now i understand the context behind this!!!" and "this interaction is so much more meaningful now that i know their relationship!!". yes it did take me a whole month of nearly nonstop reading to catch back up but i have 0 regrets.

wano and the arc after it are both super fun and interesting and i think ur gonna love it. the lore is crazy. i hope u dont see any spoilers bc going into it completely blind will probably be way more exciting, especially with the most recent arc since its kinda suspenseful and mysterious,,.

anyways thats all i have to say how do you end these things.. take care!!

AAAAA ANON THIS IS SUCH A FUN MESSAGE TO RECIEVE THANK YOU...

I ended up talking a lot so I'll put this under a cut lol

I used to be the person who said I would never watch one piece 😭😭 I've been into anime since I was like 12 and I'm almost 24 now (fuck . That's like half my life) and obviously it's always been on my radar but I always thought it was 1. Too popular 2. Too Long 3. Hated how oda draws women lmao so I was fine ignoring it and only knowing the basics from just Being On The Internet

I think sometime early on I caved and attempted to watch it- I got to alabasta and stopped bc the anime pacing wasn't doing it for me (though I liked it up until then, but didn't LOVE it)

cut to high-school where a couple of my good friends liked it but we never really talked about it, it was a lifelong interest for one of them bc he'd started reading it on like 4th grade

Well I'm still friends with them (shoutout to sam and seb) and they convinced me to watch one piece film red with them in like July or August of last year bc they were showing me the songs and I, ado fan bc I'm a retired weaboo and a vocaloid Stan, was like "haha that sounds like ado" and they went "IT IS!!!!??" so I had to watch it for her.

again, I was like oh this is fun I like this :^) but no IMMEDIATE interest, more of a passive thing... until the live action came out a month or so later and I watched it just because and DAMN I FELL IN LOVE FAST

I went back to the anime and rewatched the beginning, then skipped back to alabasta where I had left off years and years ago and now I'm Here 🧍

I watched up through part of dressrosa before I started reading the manga, and now I'm doing that while watching certain episodes of just the parts I really wanna see animated

It's been. So Fun

I am now that person who's like Hey You Should Watch One Piece. I get it now. I so get it lmao. And you know the weirdest part is that with it being divided up into arcs like it is I find myself thinking it really doesn't feel that long!?!? Am I insane,

anyways. It's been a while since I was in an active fandom or even in a fandom at all - ESPECIALLY such a big one!?! (I was in college for 4 years and Busy).

but it's. Crazy. I'm writing fanfics and joining discord servers and I've never done that before. it's been very fun and rewarding tbh...I don't like a lot of things about oda and aspects he included and ofc one piece isn't perfect or unproblematic but it IS a really awesome epic of a story about friendship and found family and anti authority and its just.

I'm also a person who's always loved reaction videos or just even seeing otherppl react to things I like so I RELATE AND IM SO GLAD I CAN BE THAT FOR U...

I'm ngl as I've been reading I've been wanting to look up some old one piece forums dated the time certain reveals happened bc I want to see how people felt as this shit came out holy Shit....

it's additionally funny bc this blog is about 10 years old and has amassed a decent amount of followers over the years who were just into some of the other random stuff I've been into but I know a fair amount of them were thinking we were on the same page of not being into one piece and now here I am. Ruining that. And with the pervert character as my favorite no less. lmao SORRYYYY YALL <3

I'll leave u with this message I sent into the discord I share with some friends the other day, none of which really watch op, when asked to explain something about the show. In fact, I think the reasoning for this message was BECAUSE I was explaining to a friend just how much oda foreshadows things!! jinbei, kaido, haki, sanjis backstory, ALL being mentioned by name or referenced DECADES/YEARS BEFORE APPEARING ON SCREEN...HUNDREDS OF CHAPTERS APART....I could rant on more but I'll stop for now.

thank u for the message and feel free to dm me to talk about this silly show anytime bc its sunken its claws into me 😭

#ive been saying since like thriller bark how excited i am to get caught up andYea. its even stronger now #misqnon's one piece liveblog #im going to be going insane as we enter wci and posting more reactions most likely so. #hope u emjoy that 👍 #microphone effect #replies #asks #march anon

[dagcutie]

I really liked it too. It’s really well cast and the outfits are to die for. Which bits were you disappointed they changed because I was thinking the same thing

ok so first i finished reading the book this week so now im fully prepared for the full experience!! i missed the show so much i couldn’t wait for today and after i finish typing that i will run to see the new episodes!!

so first the thing i was disappointed they changed was the five instead of six, like i can understand it meant having an actor less to pay and pete wasn’t a big big part of the book etc but it doesn’t make any sense with the title you know?? even tho they tried to explained it (and even make fun of it) in the show i really doubt in real life this would have made sense lol

also chuck going to college instead of dying during the vietnam war… it’s sad they removed that bc the war was a big part of the culture at the time so not talking about it is weird but i like the aspect of showing that it is be hard to pursue your dreams when you know you could have a more secure career by going to college and pleasing your parents.. so i’m not against the representation either

also at first i didn’t like that camila already knew who billy was when she met him like i liked how they met in the book but then i read some people’s opinions about it and actually that’s genius bc it means that she was a whole mastermind since the beginning and it really fits her personality i think, of her always being in control and always being a step ahead!!

some things i miss from the book are the miscommunications they had in the interviews where they were saying the opposite of what the others were saying.. it was very interesting seeing how everyone was interpreting things differently i wish they put more of that in the show, also for more comedic relief, but i appreciated the comedy in the third episode !!

im sad they didn’t include the karen karen thing :’)

also the fact that they cut the powerful line of camilla saying "who do you think you are, cheating on me?"

also im confused on how they are portraying daisy in the first three episodes like she’s way too clean and polish, in the book she was a drug addict and a mess most of the time while still slaying and being a girlboss… so im waiting to see how they’re gonna make her evolve in the next episodes

And not showing billy going to rehab is a weird move bc for me it’s such an important part of the book… i feel like they passed too quickly on billy and his relationship to drugs knowing how it’s affecting the rest of his life and how tortured he is to stay sober..

now things i really like about the show:

i liked that they’re hinting at graham and karen relationship from the beginning, graham being all over karen since day 1 is so cute i love that

i loved how they portrayed teddy, very paternal i love this!!

i love warren funny unbothered king, i love graham, i love karen, i looove camila they did such a great job with the casting!!

i loved the touch of gaynest with simone

also camila being a photographer that’s a smart move

Now we can talk about the biggest change :

eddie and camila…. honestly maybe it’s an unpopular opinion but i love it!!! like i think that’s genius!! it’s adding such a thing idk im curious about what they’re gonna do with that but like now it almost makes me want to like eddie while in the book he was insufferable now at least he has a reason to be insufferable!! the jealousy the tension i love it!! it’s giving something very interesting and im excited to watch more

#ask #anon #now im gonna watch episode 4 and im going to try to live post about it

[mikelogan]

OK now I'd love to see what headcanons or whatever you have for Turk, cuz you bring up interesting points. I was actually thinking the other day about how they had him be religious for like, an episode. Plus, the song they used in that ep about 3 O.D.'s, 2 shattered skulls, and a drunk who drove into a tree got stuck in my head lol

lmao that song is gold 😂 still mad it's not on spotify tbh

anyway, as far as Turk hcs go, I typically follow two separate trains of thought. The first (and my favorite and most likely) is either Turk gets JD out of a Bad Situation OR walks in on JD giving himself a T injection and JD can't not tell him. He and Turk end up sitting on his bed while JD tells him absolutely everything bc once he starts, he can't stop until he gets it all out. And he just hopes with everything he has that Turk isn't going to be weird about it. He doesn't expect Turk to Get It, but I figure this is during their second semester at college (and in my own canon, JD gets top surgery during the summer between their 1st and 2nd years of college and Turk is there with him through everything). Anywho, Turk definitely doesn't get it right away and ends up making some stupid comments out of ignorance rather than actual hatred. Things are a bit strained between them for a while before JD happens upon this stack of books by Turk’s stuff and it's all about sexuality and gender and he realizes Turk is trying to understand?? And it means the world to him. Idk if he'd tell Turk he saw the books, but things gradually get better and it's not like JD is adverse to answering Turk’s questions, but sometimes they're a little off-base or make him a little uncomfy. But it helps knowing that Turk isn't doing it to hurt or upset him. He's asking bc he wants to learn and understand and avoid saying the wrong thing bc he already knows JD is his best friend for life.

Second option is much angstier and I explored it in my fic My Heavy Meddle -- which I loved writing, but it was something I probably won't do again. Mostly bc I love Turk being distrustful of Perry at first bc of who he is as a person and how he's treated JD in the past -- not bc it's a guy x guy thing. Like it's very much canon that Turk isn't exactly comfortable with the Gays TM (though will be in heaven drinking milkshakes on the lesbian cloud 😒), but that fic took it a step further. JD never told Turk that he was bi or trans and kind of operated on an ignorance is bliss sort of thing, and everything escalated and ended with Turk almost getting Perry fired and he and JD no longer being friends. So while I enjoy Turk presenting a bit of an obstacle at first for JDox out of protectiveness for JD, this was a bit of a foray into basically leaning into the homophobic aspect.

So hopefully its obvious why I prefer the first option WAY more, but once again, it was interesting to write it another way and you know how I love my angst 🙃

As far as the religious aspect, I think a lot of what Turk thinks about The Gays TM is stuff that he grew up hearing? Idk if we ever hear anything about his dad now that I think about it, and we only saw his mom once (minus the Morgan freeman freckles comment courtesy of Elliot 😂) but I don't get super homophobic vibes. I think a lot of it was just pure ignorance on his part and the fact that he'd never been exposed to anyone who wasn't straight until JD -- at least as far as Turk knew a that point. And JD just knocked it out of the park by being trans AND bi 😂 we stan a king

ANYWHOMST I hope this is at least somewhat coherent bc I've been having a v v rough time and I just like to talk about this show lol

Introduction

Hello!

If you’re reading this, you probably already know who I am. In case you aren’t familiar, my name is Kaiden. I am a 23 year old genderqueer person (they/he pronouns) from Newfoundland and Labrador. I’m originally from a small town in the island’s interior, but when I was 16 I moved to Victoria BC to attend UWC Pearson College on a full scholarship. I was there for two years and I can honestly say those were two of the biggest years of my life. After my time at Pearson I started school at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver to study health sciences, but my mental health took a turn and I had to come home. I took a semester off and started a new job to get back on my feet. That summer I started taking distance courses and I moved to St. John’s. In winter 2019 I transferred to Memorial University to study behavioural neuroscience. I’ve been working on it ever since, and this upcoming year is my last. I was recently accepted to complete my honours. I just met with my supervisor for the first time this past week, and I can’t wait to talk more about it in the coming months.

But there’s more to me than just school. I have a dog named Squid and a cat named Jigger. Jigger is four and a half. I got him when he was only around a month old. He was a feral kitten. Squid is turning two later this month. He’s a big, goofy, loveable black lab. He’s not a rescue, he’s a CERB money dog. At the time I was working in a pet store and seeing dogs everyday gave me puppy fever. I wasn’t prepared for a big dog but I wouldn’t trade him for the world. We like to go on walks around the pond and go swimming at the beach. I just recently bought Squid his own pool.

Some of my other hobbies include video games, soccer, hiking, coffee (yes, that’s a hobby), writing, bullet journaling, and activism. I have a nintendo switch that I love to play. I play soccer with a small gender inclusive league every Thursday. I am currently a part time barista. Every Monday morning I join a few other wonderful humans at the confederation building to demonstrate for better access to long term mental healthcare. While I wasn’t there from the very beginning, this was week 85. We’re hoping to do something special for 100 weeks. I have also advocated for LGBTQIA rights within the mental healthcare system.

Access to long term mental healthcare is so important to me because of my journey with mental health. I was diagnosed with bipolar in April 2017 after an ER trip during a manic episode. While I was impressed with the care I received in BC, I needed to come back home to be closer to family while I grappled with my illness. Since returning to NL I have faced many barriers to care, from wait lists over a year long (and counting) to being shuffled around short term options, and lack of resources available all together. The resources I have accessed have not always been relevant to me. I tried the trauma program but had to drop out because there was no available gender neutral option. I attended group therapy for my eating disorder for two years, but the program was geared towards cisgender girls so some aspects did not address my needs. Luckily, I currently see both an amazing psychologist, paediatrician and dietician who have helped me more than I could convey. I am so thankful to have a care team that meets my needs and helps me reach my goals.

So that’s a little bit about me! If you read all of that rambling, congrats! Thank you for listening. I hope to write more about my experiences at school and navigating life.

Stay cool, Kaiden

Ok, so following this other post I made about how oh-aew isn’t actually that passionate about acting (might be helpful to read but not necessary), i want to theorize on how this will affect their relationship.

So some of this is grounded in this really small part from itsay where teh is telling oh-aew the reasons why he loves tarn (ep 2) and one of the things he’s says is that he loves the way tarn is so passionate about her art and following her dream, and “it’s like i’m surrounded by the person with the same vibe.” Then oh-aew gets this kind of sad look on his face and i might be reading a hint to much into that, but it felt like maybe oh-aew was reminded of his own lack of conviction in his dream of acting.

Now the first time i watched this i didn’t really think much about this scene, but knowing now about some of the conflicts they’ll face it feels more important. Teh is someone who’s known what he wanted since middle school and has pursued that dream without question since then. He’s put in a lot of hard work to get where he is and he has results to show for it. And now, in college, he’s in a place where he can focus solely on the stage. We can see from the first episode how much he loves the stage. He’s learning more about it and working backstage for the first time and it’s like a new door is opened for him. He’s falling in love with every aspect of the stage and he’s surrounding himself with people who share his same passion. He is in his element and he is thriving.

Oh-aew is not thriving. He’s homesick, he’s having trouble making friends at first, he’s separated from teh. And though we haven’t seen it yet, he’s questioning his decision to pursue acting. I talked about in my other post how oh-aew’s drive for acting is strongly tied to his relationship with teh, even when they weren’t speaking and now that there’s growing distance between the two, oh-aew is going to realize that acting might not be something he really wants to do, and i think itsay was all about teh trying to figure out who he was and now it’s oh-aew’s turn to do some soul-searching.

And this ties back into what I said about teh being attracted to tarn’s drive and passion. Oh-aew has that line in the trailer that’s like “if i’m like this, do you still love me?” And now I’m assuming that by “this” oh-aew means not wanting to be an actor. And I think it’s going to make teh flounder, bc I don’t think he ever picked up on oh-aew’s lack of confidence in acting. In itsay, teh always reads oh-aew’s lack of confidence as self-worth issues in either academic or acting ability but i think it’s actually a deeper lack of confidence in acting as his dream.

Teh thinks of acting as like “their thing,” something they’re working towards together, so what happens when oh-aew is no longer working towards that with him? Teh also specifically said he liked being around tarn bc he felt like they had a similar drive, so what happens when oh-aew no longer has that same drive? When he can’t quite match teh like he used to? This might be part of what teh means when he says that oh-aew is no longer the same as when he fell in love with him. And like I said, i think when oh-aew says he doesn’t want to act, it’s going to blindside teh who never really noticed even though for us, the audience, there will be sufficient build up.

And I think teh’s not really going to know how to help oh-aew through his self-discovery and finding what he’s truly passionate about bc teh has never had to question. So for them to successfully continue their relationship, they’re going to have to find out how to adjust to this. I think they are going to break up and some point (i think the trailer def hinted at that), so it’ll be interesting to see how they get back together--whether teh will learn how to help oh-aew, or whether oh-aew will have to find his new dream first and they’ll come back together once they’re both more mature.

#ipytm #i promised you the moon #i can't wait to see how the develop and grow as people #especially oh aew i just want to see him be happy
