#and it's making me want to watch titanic

[cerise-grenadine]

presently binging Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility (both 1995) for depress scientific reasons (and because of hotjaneaustenmen's poll) and to my horror i finished P&P thinking "ho i think after all this time i might actually fancy Darcy more than Brandon" bc i had just spent 6 hours swooning over this hot dark broody boy but then i put the film on and Alan Rickman made his appearance and no, no, i'm still firmly in love with Brandon 😌🙏🏻

also i realised i'm canonically older than him now ☠️

#i think i just love them both really #also toby stephen's rochester 🥵 #also watching p&p made me want to watch s&s #so now i'm watching s&s #and it's making me want to watch titanic #bc kate is so pretty omg #also why were we deprived of a Brandon playing the piano scene #pride and prejudice #sense and sensibility #jane austen #alan rickman #colin firth

In 2017, I watched “The Gang Tends Bar” as it aired live, and it’s all kind of a blur but I remember three things very clearly:

Sunnyblr was POPPING. To this day, I still see TGTB posts floating around with 10k notes and they are all still so fucking good. My beautiful relics of an absolutely insane time.

Airing A Crickets Tale that very next week is probably one of the most chaotic things that was happening to Tumblr at that time. We were all like, “Mmm, thanks for whatever that was, RCG! So yummy! Now can we have another helping of repressed middle-aged gay men?” and they said, “Okay, sure! Here’s more of that but make it foreboding,” and aired “Dennis’ Double Life” the very next week after THAT.

I didn’t sleep the night TGTB aired. I was a freshman in college and I went to class the next day and just stared at nothing during my lecture because I was so blown away by it. At 18, it was one of the most formative experiences I’ve ever had with television. Raw, emotional moments have always been so much more impactful to me in comedic shows. I still consider it one of the most romantic episodes of any show I’ve ever seen. I’m 25 now, and I have never forgotten the way I felt the first time I saw this episode. My life is entirely different now from February of 2017, but my feelings about TGTB are exactly the same if not intensified.

Bonus Big Feelings:

Once you’ve watched “Dennis’ Double Life,” TGTB reads so differently—it hurts so much more. Because you know how it ends for them and you never get closure. YOU NEVER GET CLOSURE.

Something about Glenn’s hair being outstandingly hot in S12 really brought everything together, that year + heightened the pining. He would do something and we’d all be like “ok work!”

Season 16 is the closest I’ve felt to Season 12 levels of deranged. I think this makes sense since S16, stylistically, reminds me the most of classic Sunny and somehow, also, every macden fic I’ve ever read.

I never had a good reference point for whether other people outside of Sunnyblr read that episode as incredibly queer, or Just Guys Being Dudes, but most of my comms class watched this show, and we were all foaming at the mouth talking about it the next day. Everyone was like, “Oh my god! It’s getting gayer! We won!”

Reflecting on where I was in life when TGTB, and when this most recent season aired, I can’t help but wonder where we’ll all be if they touch noses. Season 24 is our seasons guys.

#anyway i was compelled to recall this to you like a survivor recounting the night the titanic sank #i’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately that are like ‘i wonder what it was like to watch tgtb live’ #it makes me want to sit in a rocking chair on a front porch somewhere in the middle of kansas and smoke a pipe #and say shit like “i was there in the trenches when dennis became the bar.” #iasip #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #macdennis #macden #the gang tends bar

[fightwing]

the implication some version of animated teen tita.ns vaguely like ttg exists in comic canon.... i desperately need to know who in dick's life is a die hard show fan and how many times he rants he's 'not like that'

#the titan.s: is this fucking play about us??? like do they ever watch it did they sign off rights so many questions. #especially tt/g rob.in. i find him very amusing. silly little man. i want ten of them. #titans spoilers #tuesday spoilers #comic spoilers #interesting they'd make dick infected so quickly either that was (monologue incoming) apart of his plan all along #or babs is gonna lead the plan #i hate titan.s fighting titan.s but man do i love a good 'this isnt you' plot #like having to fight but you cant hurt the other because youre trying to save them UGH okay fine youve caught my interest current tita.n ru #also i know this art style has never missed but dick and gar.th are too handsome. like im not fighting you two whatever you say handsome #also also MOST IMPORTANT MERRY KORY CONTENT TUESDAY #very upset she yet again has to relive trauma but the panel of kory and donna hugging in the explosion will help me last the winter <3 #* i'd love to write but it's just not realistic / ooc.

Alright, who had "Belos turns into Godzilla on Bald Mountain" on their bingo cards?

#toh spoilers #watching and dreaming #belos #philip wittebane #mostly liked the episode #feel like a lot of interesting character stuff was glossed over but i digress #happens when you don't have nearly as much time as you need #tho i'm definitely kinda pissed at belos' ending #i wanted him to suffer and die #but specifically at the hands of caleb evelyn and his own madness #not as a kinda jokey riff on the “save the villain from the curse they had all along” trope #also no evelyn makes me sad #that being said genderfluid papa titan makes up for everything #bro/gal was chill as hell

[clfixationstation]

I didn't allow myself to get to attached to Mikasa's story for a while because she's just... doomed to be sad

#cl thoughts #i just didn't want to watch that #didn't want that for her #took some time to feel the layers of angst past the sadness #which allowed her to become more compelling to me #also wit did her dirty #making her seem single-minded #mikasa ackerman #mikasa #attack on titan #shingeki no kyojin #aot #snk

[ringsidedishes]

i still can't believe despe won

(this will be the only thing i'll talk about for etc etc)

#dishesrambles #the way he won too #like he looked so strooonnggg #it reminded me a little of his match vs akira last bosj which altho i havent made a moty list 2023 yet that one would be on there #catnip for me #i could watch it another few times and not get bored of it #ive been fantasy booking him ofc. wanna see him vs titan and robbie. hope he keeps the belt until after bosj and also wins bosj #and he'd win in the finals against hiromu ofc how else #is that asking too much? perhaps!!! #i was just super convinced this would be a dope match but hiromu would continue and maybe get that record defenses he wanted #altho i also wasnt too excited about his title reign (tho i really like how he used it and went just about everywhere with it) #(also tbf i kinda wanted to see hiromu and naito both with belts and then do the match they were gonna do in 2020 but couldnt bc covid) #i still can't believe it. also didnt think it'd set my brain on fire like this. that match was so sexy #so excited to see where this goes with him #'the wrestler makes the belt' and theyre right bc DESPE HAS THE BELT #ahem anyway ny dash today with DESPE WITH HIS BELT

[clambuoyance]

Bc of you i really wanna get into Ninjago (/pos) but it's so, what's the word, much? Like intimidating there are so many season it seems like and so many character hhdhshah

Can i ask what your fave character is and why and howd you like describe the vibe of the show? Then I can know what to expect w energy of the show and the first question is just bc I'm curious aha

okay so this is gonna be long sorry.

i also thought the amount of seasons was intimidating but i actually find that it was really easy to get through? i think i binged it all in like a week 🧍🏻‍♀️(but uh, i did stay up a lot and usually multitasked) the seasons are very short(usually 10 eps) , and later on the episodes get short too.

there’s also new characters introduced every season, but it’s very centralized around the same cast of characters all through, which is like Lloyd, Nya, Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Wu, and later on Pixal. so it doesnt feel like a lot to me.

I also think i enjoy the show a little differently than other media? Like it’s just good fun for me to watch. there’s several factors.

1) It holds a lot of nostalgia for me, because i was superrr into this show as a kid, 2) the way i enjoy the show is much like playing with legos as a kid. you have all these legos and crazy ideas, and you spin it all in different ways into what is sometimes a nonsensical plot, but its fun, 3) it is aimed for kids, so it’s easy to find it lacking in areas, but my absolute favorite thing is watching the team dynamic between the main characters bc it feels like they actually like each other😂 it’s the main thing i watch it for tbh

It’s not for everyone obviously, but idk watching the storytelling and animation improve/change throughout the seasons is neat bc in s8 holllyyyy shit it gets a whole new aesthetic, and it’s also really fun to kind of take elements that the show presents and do some Thinking and Creating in my head

my favorites are Zane and Kai—Zane because i grew up connecting to his character a lot and he’ll always be special to me, and Kai bc he just sort of falls into my stereotypical type of favorite character 💀 . His characterization isn’t always the best and the writers sometimes miss opportunities with him but i just really like Thinking about him and the potential types of character development he could have 🤷🏻‍♀️

So yeah theres the pilots which are really hard to find, but there’s a twitch link to them (pitched down)

Pilots 1/2, Pilots 3/4 (40 minutes in total)

Then the rest are on netflix(they’re separated into two titles tho), except the day of the departed special which isnt there fsr :P

S1-2 are fun and nostalgic to me even if they’re a bit uh, obviously at aimed kids. they were also meant to be the only seasons, but the audience liked it so it kept going. I feel like something shifted in the air around s6-ish though, and then again for s8 idk.

if youre really plot oriented or super into intense intricate world building, or not into shows that can be simple and aimed at kids, you might not enjoy it..? but if you just like seeing wacky plots w fun characters then you might like it ^_^

#WOW THIS WAS A RAMBLE #sorry this is probably more than u wanted #clam answers #ninjago #its just Vibes man i like the show #im gonna ramble more in the notes #so sometimes it has bad writing #comparatively when i watch a show like Titans which also suffers(more) bad writing im like. What is this shit #Bc even tho the plots bad its not even fun and i dont like the characters. they dont like each other #it takes itself seriously and fails to deliver #same w voltron too kind of loooolz #obviously I want good writing but w ninjago I guess I’m like…more lenient w it? #it knows what it’s vibes are and what to expect out itself and so I do too if that makes sense #like if it had stellar amazeball writing I’d be thrilled but I like the characters enough to rotate them in my mind #and do my own writing n thinking of their arcs n stuff #I have no idea what I’m saying it’s 2 am ignore me

[batfamfucker]

Tell the truth comic fans challenge. When's the last time you read a comic and how many have you actually read?

P.S. This isn't me being gatekeepy btw I'm being genuine because I'm gonna be honest I've probably only actually read about five series and every thing else I've gotten from movies/series, online, or fanon. I know all the important events. Have I actually read them? No because my ADHD just wouldn't. And I can't be assed having to read important events if it's in a shit run by a bad writer.

#Also ngl I was determined to read from the very start but. I would not have the time for that in any life so lmao #I have read quite a few of the early Batman comics and do actually hope to read as many of his as possible #But I have not actually sat and read all of the Batfam origins yet tho I intend to #I know them all and I've seen the panels just never actually sat down and gone through it all #I also have read a lot of the Golden Era Batman and Superman team up comics where they basically act like parents #Taking Dick out on family day trips. It's a fun read tbh #And back when I was a early teen and couldn't afford comics I watched YouTuber who would read them for you and tell you about them/show you #So I've read half of Batman Eternal from that but he stopped uploading vids about it which made me really sad lmao #So I need to get around to reading the rest myself/rereading it because it's been a while #I think I liked the story but wouldn't canonise it in my mind #I also read a bit of Suicide Sqaud that way I think? So that too #I totally don't pirate read Injustice #I like it but I think some of it is iffy. But that's the case with comics in general #Batman: Wayne Family Adventures is the only I actually keep up with #Probably because it's more accessible but also because it's the kind of comic I've wanted about the Batfam for ages #There's room for improvement and I would like to see how one similar to that style would be made like. In the fully canon mainstream comics #Because I'm aware it's very fanon/fan servicey but honesty after all the DC chaos we deserve it. But I would like to see more family #Urban Legends is really good. But Idk. I'm very particular about my vision lmao #Let me be a writer is what I'm saving. Or make a competant TV show *Glares at Titans* #Titans is good but God do they fucking butcher Jason and Bruce. I am sick of DC TV and film adaptions doing the Batfam dirty #Like. The animated movies #Tim just is never a thing ever. Why #Titans does have him and I like that. But I haven't watched that season ngl because I don't like how they write Bruce #Like. He doesn't. Look for cjild soldiers bruh. I'm disappointed with Titans because they coulda done so well #But Bruce is far too old and they made Dick almost murderous with him and they fucked up Jason. I haven't seen Tim's- #-Characterisation yet but I'm scared to at this point #Alfred must be fucking dead because he would be SO OLD if Bruce is already like 60 bruh. No offence to the actor but yeah. #Chella Man is the best thing about the show. Tbf I adore the cast other than Bruce. But everyone is just so OOC and it doesn't- #Stick to the comics at all #Idk it just. Isn't it lmao

so the top 2 things I've seen Red, White and Royal Blue compared to, Heartstopper and Young Royals, are two shows i have seen and asked my sister to watch with me multiple times. but she was so vehemently against watching them, and when i managed to get her to watch some of hs she spent the whole time talking over it or making fun of it. but then she was annoyed when she figured out i had already watched rwrb instead of trying to set up for us to watch it together??? WHY would I have wanted to watch it with her???? quite frankly, I didn't even consider it bc I assumed she'd refuse to watch it like she had everything else, including 2 things that are so similar to it. how tf was I supposed to infer that she wanted to watch it together???

#sorry this is smth I've been thinking about for weekd #like #?????? what the FUCK did she expect here????? #the audacity?????????? #I'm sorry i expected you to not want to watch it like you've not wanted to watch everything I've ever tried to show you lmao #(despite the fact that you loved good omens. and banana fish. and yoi. and attack on titan. #despite me having to force you to start watching them) #sorry that I'm tired of having to spend weeks trying to convince you to try smth i like????? #anyway #its just kinda funny that she was annoyed by something like this #like i kinda get her being annoyed about me not wanting to wait a month to watch go2 #bc i do already know she likes that show (after. again. i had to make her watch s1. but she still does.) #but i DID reach out about it first #but then being annoyed about the rwrb situation is so ridiculous #shh ac

bluey gives me like. So many emotions because I only had like. Three channels in the hospital I was stuck in for twenty eight hours. I could barely sleep. All that was on was teen titans go usually, miraclous lady bug, and if I was lucky, bluey. It felt like. A bright light in the darkest tunnel. Such bright colors. Such vibrant music. Cute moments. When everything felt like it was [redacted], it made me feel like I was at the beginning. <-starting to not make sense

#hospital #hospitals #I cant rewatch the ones i watched in the hospital cause my brain doesnt work but like wow. emotions #too many but god. good show #i think being in a hospital with only fucking. teen titans go made me want a piano to fall on me #NO PHONE either. hell. hell on earth. #you were treated like a baby. you couldnt go to the bathroom alone or fucking. use your phone. you werent allowed to have a damn pencil. #only crayons #hospitalization #psych ward #<-not talking about the psych ward but jic this was the bit before that #You were talked down to. if i wanted to leave they were going to *force* me to stay #not that a lot of it wasnt kinda fair to some degree #but i remember the lady got fucking pissed at me #because i was indecisive if i wanted to stay #she said YOU are making so much trouble for us. you really are inconviencing us. now we are going to force you to stay #DUDE why the fuck are you mad at me im so fucking mentally ill

[navree]

there's a lot of reasons why that titans show wanting to do batfam specific arcs, especially death in the family/under the red hood, flopped so hard each time, but one of the biggest is that they basically brought jason back after, like, a fucking month and it basically negates the entire thing

#personal #i mean the entirety of the stupid plotline makes me want to go mad #like i think they do actually have bruce kill the joker in retaliation which is like well then what's jason's problem then #that was the main sticking point for him #and then they have bruce like actively looking for replacement robins which like???? he didn't want another robin???? #he was DONE with robins until tim full on blackmailed his way into the position like a little fucking menace #but like a huge part of the tragedy of the whole thing is the amount of time jason missed #jason dies as a shrimpy fifteen year old (like i think he's under five foot i think he's canonically 4'6??? baby!!!) #and then he comes back and he's older and more jacked and significantly more jaded #than he was in his 'i'm robin and being robin gives me magic' era #he lost a significant swath of his life and bruce never got to watch his son grow up it's fucking sad #and more importantly bruce had a lot of time to sit with this loss #to try and get to something of an acceptance and understanding that it happened and there's no way to change it #the *entire family* did they all had to take a lot of time to come to terms with that #and then suddenly jason's back??? and all that attempted healing gets thrown way out of whack because suddenly he's here again??? #listen there's a way to do death in the family/under the red hood to make it a huge gut punch in a tv format #it's a bit difficult because it's such an iconic and well known arc that people can sometimes be blasé about it all #but there's a way that you can make it Work and work really well (as always i have thoughts) #titans uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh titans did not do that. at all. they beefed it.

oh.

#surprised that the lunter anti s haven't been using 'echoes of the past' as sblings propaganda #the clear cut parallel of luz offering her hand to king when it comes to revisiting the truth about his ancestry #a character she'll later come to call his little brother #like uhhh maybe the fact hunter and luz have no canon sibling bong is confirmation enough that it wasn't the point of it #when there's absolutely nothing set up for luz's connections with titan before WAD chose to take a gigantic shit on the show's themes #esp when hollow mind does the work to connect luz with belos with the whole you and i are very alike villain speech #and of course cannot forget the caleb/evelyn parallels. lunterinas no one will every take that away from you btw #they could've chosen to make evelyn and caleb have a familial bond but nope. caleb impregnated the shit out of her and You Will Know That. #maybe there's some canon evidence that the intention was to follow up on the siblings allegations #but like... then i look back at TTT and how luz calls hunter 'family' in the context of their connection to the hexsquad instead of nocedas #and how TOH commited hard to vee having a familial connection with camila despite how little time they had and it's implied in the- #-timeskip that luz and vee have grown up together as family #(by all means luz/vee shippers go ahead you guys are neat and canon is a mere suggestion) #but yeah like. uhhhhh i'm bery drunk rn can you tell heehee #anyways idk what i was getting here #echoes of the past is still like a 9/10 episode i love it will all my little heart #and maybe the writers had in mind that lunter could develop into a familial bond before they realized the implications of evelyn's existence #and then were like welp. this is awkward now is it. and neither committed to sibling bond or romantic bond #also let it be known that youtube user local has changed my entire outlook on media and you should watch his videos #and he's like a year younger than me. do you want to make out with me white boy. i am free every monday and wednesday #toh #oh wait i have another thought. amiter is a Good ship. way more potential than huntlow #amity has two hands :) #oh nooooooooooo i didn't censor the ship JDHKJFHSKJFHSFHDSKJFHDJKSHFKDSHFJKDSHFJKDSHFJKDSHFJKDSHJKFHDSJKFHDSJKFHDJKSHFJKDSHFJKDSHFJKDSHFJKDH
