Some of my thoughts during my recent rewatch of Daredevil season 2:

We don't even see Frank during his first scene, just the absolute bloody carnage he causes

In Kastle's first scene together he chases her and shoots in her direction with a shotgun; the classic beginning of any romance story 😂

Frank bludgeoning a pawn shop owner to death with a baseball bat because the guy tried selling him kiddy porn 🥰🥰 When will your faves lmao

Karen being all 'I'm not saying he's a good person but anyone of us could be the Punisher' to Matt, like she was getting Frank even before properly meeting him 🥺

Frank stitching himself up like a true badass while calling Matt 'Red', somehow making it sound like a cute affectionate nickname 😆

'Don't get all sweet on me now, Frank.' Suddenly I understand why Fratt has 1,899 works on AO3 👀

The hospital bed scene 🥰🥰🥰 ItsAllComingBackToMeNow.mp3

'You were never in any danger.' 🥺 and at the same time 🙃

Him calling her 'ma'am' ❤️

Karen: Frank deserved a little murder, as a treat. Matt: WHAT????

Karen sitting next to Frank during his trial. That's his emotional support person (She's also poor Foggy's 😂)

That prison fight got me all 🥵🥵🥵🥵

Episode 9 + a delicious fic on AO3 inspired me to write a first draft of Fisk/Frank non-con, lemme know if I should finish it and post it here 👀

'No, Matt! I'm not yours to protect.' That's right Matt, she found someone better, someone loyal and not a fuckboi like you 😏😆

Karen being heartbroken thinking Frank died on that ship, while Mahoney thinks he's comforting her by telling her Castle's dead and she's safe now 💔

The song in the car, letting her know he's there and will save/protect her 😭 (which he did via car crash, but still 😂)

Frank spraypainting the vest. He's an ARTIST~~ lmao

In the season finale when the shooting begins, everybody ducks down and stays down except for Karen, who slowly rises up because she suspects it's Frank (and she's right)

The disk with 'Micro' written on it!! Next up, The Punisher season 1 😏

I want more content of Halt and Will having disagreements like any teenager with their parent would and I especially want content of Gilan surprise visting them on a day that happens to be particularly bad

#funny #rangers apprentice #ranger's apprentice #halt o'carrick #will treaty #gilan davidson #rambles #this is inspired by mom and brother fighting over his chores while I sit in the dining room happily eating a kiwi

Me when the dining hall serves chocolate chip pancake: Yippee!!

Me when the dining hall serves white chocolate chip pancakes: What if i starved to death instead

#first world problems for sure #i mean it's fine i'll just go to a different dining hall but lol #if white chocolate has 1000 haters I am one of them #if white chocolate has 1 hater it is me #if white chocolate has 0 haters I am dead #mint's rambles #tell me why i checked the menu for a different dining hall and they're serving mango french toast. who is in charge of the menus this week

#the chrysalis forms Inside the bug and then like... splits it open and the caterpillar's now empty skin just shrivels like a rolled sock#so like... whoever discovers howdy's chrysalis would have to deal with seeing his scooped-out body

You are killing me, This is both the best and worst mental image, Thank you!

you're Welcome!!

#it Is pretty terrible huh lmao #do you want another terrible mental image? For Free? #please picture frank deciding - for research purposes - to take the 'shell' home #and either pinning it to a wall for Observation or laying it out like a bear rug #howdy stops by franks and has to confront his past self's corpse cushioning the dining room table #normal things to do and experience #frank doesnt understand whats wrong with it. like. what else were they gonna do with the body. put it in a box?? #at least he's finding a use for it smh #rambles from the bog #yassified howdy <3 #also i was doing some more Chrysalis Reading #and saw it described as 'the caterpillars old body dies inside the chrysalis' #so howdy essentially dies and is resurrected. #basically what im saying is he's puppet jesus-

[chickenstrangers]

absolutely in love with the awkwardness and giggling and shyness after minoru and yutaka's first kiss. they both don't really know what to do now that they've crossed this line but they're giddy with the possibility of it all

2024 Watch List pt1

Here we go again!

To sir, with love - This is a lakorn so it's appropriately dramatic. The mothers are absolutely foul and do an awful lot of scheming and yelling. Jam/Film are intensely watchable and make wet fish kisses look terribly romantic. Tongtong Kitsakorn as Yang was a revelation. I'm sad he's pm just a lakorn actor/pop star because he is so watchable. I loved that, though they were evil and insane, the mothers all felt fleshed out and realised. You understood why they were yikes. 3½/5 (2/1/23)

A Boss & a Babe - I quit this at episode 2 and then decided to go back to it. I don’t regret doing so. This isn’t top tier but it’s also not shit tier. Cher, the very dictionary definition of toxic positivity, and Gun, an autism coded cat man, enter into an extremely quick romance (like seriously, it’s taken hard worn lesbians longer to say I love you) the catch being they’re intern and company boss. Honestly in another drama that would have been the the huge hiccup of the series, keeping them apart, but it’s consistently shown to be more of an issue for others that it is for them. This is very low conflict, mostly romcom fluff with two weirdly intense, barely explored side stories for support characters. I didn’t loath Force in this and would actually like him to be given more roles where he’s just a soft simp and not a boring sarcastic one. Book does some good comedy work here. 3/5 (4/1/23)

The day I loved you - I know this won’t work for everyone. It’s a bittersweet ten episode love story between a boy with ASL and the ‘rebel’ exchange student at his school. Pinoy BL, for me, either really hits or really misses and this hit. It does use a questionable model of disability, namely the inspiration model, but I cant nit pick too much when this is only ten 15/20 minute episodes. I enjoyed it a lot, you may also if you’re okay with a bittersweet ending vs an out and out happy one. 3½/5 (12/1/24)

VIP Only - Well this was adorable. Slow as molasses and just as sweet. This probably won’t be for everyone, very slow and not much happens other than character growth and a love story, but it worked for me. The edit is horrendous in places and I do wish Taiwan did longer episodes, but those are my only gripes. 3½/5 (19/1/24)

I cannot reach you - I don’t really watch Jbl. There are just styles and tropes that I don’t enjoy watching that Japan uses a lot of. It’s a taste thing more than it is anything else. So keep that in mind. This is full of a lot of the things I don’t like; over action, randomly running everywhere, sudden non-con. But it’s also endearingly sweet and very well acted, so I did find myself enjoying it. I don’t think this’ll awaken a desire to watch lots of Jbl but it has made me consider some others. 3/5 (20/1/24)

Last Twilight - I had a lot of fun with this. The dialogue and acting were all top notch and, as ever with Aof productions, it was stunning to look at. It weaves the story of two broken people healing one another very well with Jimmy & Sea doing beautiful work as Mhok & Day. I think this came a little unstuck at points in the end. I liked most of the romance movie style ending but I remain a little unsure about Day’s ending. Still, this is a show that I enjoyed every week and will have no issues rewatching. 4/5 (26/1/24)

Old Fashion Cupcake - I’m working on trying out more JBL to get a feel for what I do and don’t like. This? This I like. We don’t have enough stories about older people anyway and this does it well. Togawa’s slow courting of Nozue through shared experiences and casual intimacy is delicious to watch. 4/5 (4/2/24)

Pit Babe - I love when I show wholly knows what it is and doesn’t try and be anything but that. This knew it was a big ol’ fanfic and leaned wholeheartedly into that. Whether it was the breeding program subplot or the consistently dumb toothpaste and sausage ppl it handled them both with equal aplomb. It’s also worth noting that was largely really well acted too! Pavel, Nut & Sailub particularly impressed me but there was nobody bad. 4/5 (9/2/24)

Our Dining Table - My journey into JBL continues and this was the best one yet. Soft pining between two sad boy leads with a gorgeous found family story woven in. The treacle slow courting between these two won’t be for everyone but it was wholly for me. 5/5 (17/2/24)

Cooking Crush - The edit on this was criminally bad at points, sometimes I truly felt I’d skipped a part and I hadn’t at all, but it still served up a good little story. If you’re visiting this for the romance it’s not really that, the story is in the friends and their lives more than it is in Ten & Prem’s romance. I loved the comedy in this, it hit those notes well and was never over the top. (Lots of puns that I expect are super good if you speak Thai.) Nobody is bad in this, everyone delivers, but OffGun are as watchable as they always are and the few kisses they do have are perfect. 3/5 (18/2/24)

The Novelist - When I say I don’t love JBL it’s usually because the tropes are just too tropey for my tastes. Apparently I’m a lying liar who lies because this is extremely Japanese and I loved every moody second of it. Kijima is a sad, lonely, messed up man who doesn’t think he’s deserving of anything good and it’s wildly compelling to watch. 4/5 (18/2/24)

Mood Indigo - Fucked up 4 Fucked up. Two broken, sad, lonely men mess up repeatedly, and erotically, that’s it that’s the show and I ate it up with a spoon. Deeply flawed assholes being toxic together, when it’s well written and well acted, is so disgustingly watchable to me and this certainly was. 5/5 (18/2/24)

The Novelist: Playback - Continues where The Novelist ends. I watched the clean version of this, it was what was available to me, and was still deeply entertained. So if you think people watch this series for the heat then you’re incorrect. This is another instalment of Kijima Rio being a horribly broken fuck up of a man. I loved it. 4/5 (21/2/24)

Tokyo in April is… - I love a good destined to be together trope when it’s done well and this is done beautifully. Kazuma and Ren fall in love as teenagers and are separated before finding one another again as adults. The pacing on this is a little rough, I get what they were doing with the sub-plot but it felt mildly unneeded and time would have been better given to exploring our leads generally or even Ren’s painful family issues. This is still a lovely drama that I wholly recommend. 4/5 (21/2/24)

Caved and watched P&P&Z despite not liking zombie horror because I needed to see what matt smith as collins would be like and oh my god when he interrupts lizzie and wickham at the ball it looks/feels exactly like whenever 11 runs in to interrupt amy and rory like I swear I've seen this exact shot in doctor who he's making the same goofy expressions I can't believe this is what gets me to watch a fucking zombie movie

#my few starkid mutuals may be suprised that i in fact generally despise zombie horror #or indeed most horror #and its pretty much only as musicals that i can handle watching it #but yes! i am in reality a chicken and unless is starkid or a classic novel i cant generally handle horror #pausing this movie every five minutes to take some deep breaths and calm the hell down #but alas hyperfixation need to see every possible version of these character and the doctor as collins made me cave #pride and prejudice #pride and prejudice and zombies #p&p&z #hestia rambles #yelling into the void #im going to hate myself tonight #especially as im going to be skipping dinner because no way in hell im walking over to the dining hall after watching this

[ike-mcswains-mortician]

hihihi uhh i finished the epsiode. Thoughts?

(I spent an hour in class just in shock)

SOOOOO MANY THOUGHTS LARK OUGH MY GOD. (this is going to be so long)

i knew the hermie death acknowledgement was going to be bad. but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST i didn't think it would be LIKE THAT. i was NOT prepared for will to hit me with the "wait where's hermie" RIGHT OFF THE BAT??? and then normal couldn't leave hermie behind and he tried to save them and he was LITERALLY USING BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS TO BRING HERMIE BACK AND IT DIDN'T FUCKING WORK. I AM GOING TO BE SICK.

and then. dear GOD. i was not ready for henry's return. fuck. ok real talk ARE THEY IN OAKVALE. DID HENRY LEAVE AFTER CODE PURPLE AND GO BACK TO OAKVALE. I AM BEATING MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL. also MERCEDES?????? MY BELOVED??? what the FUCK

and!!!! then!!!!! normal STILL BEGGING AND TRYING AND PRAYING TO BRING HERMIE BACK. but there's NOTHING henry can do and so SCAM???? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? SCAM LIKELY ACTUALLY GETTING EMOTIONAL OVER HIS SON???? cried into my pasta actually. note to self don't try to eat while listening to dndads.

also i feel like they glossed over this but d00d saying henry feels like home/??? i actually had to do a double take because YEAH THIS IS HENRY LOOKING IN THE FUCKED UP NON-EUCLIDEAN EYES OF THE ELDRITCH ENTITY THAT TORMENTED HIM HIS WHOLE LIFE AND???? THEY JUST. MOVE ON??? HELLO??

and don't even get me fucking STARTED on the funeral. god. i was in physical pain. the shade witch bit (which was fucking GOLD btw) couldn't save me from the 1-2 PUNCH THAT WAS THE FINAL WORDS. henry saying you're never ready for something like this but normal insisting on burying the body. the fucked up two-face tree. "goodnight sweet prince." scary saying she noticed him. scary noticing hermie like she noticed terry jr. no one fuckng touch me.

LARK AND SPARROW AND HENRY INTERACTING. AAAGH. FUCK. THE HANDSHAKE BETWEEN HENRY AND LARK. LIKE. IS THAT THE MOST POSITIVE INTERACTION THEY'VE HAD SINCE THE ROGUE CARD??? IS COLD NEUTRALITY THE BEST THEY HAVE?????? and SPARROW GOING IN FOR A HUG BUT HENRY DOESN'T RECIPROCATE. I AM GOING TO BE FUCKING SICK. THE OAK FAMILY ONCE AGAIN GOING FOR MY GODDAMN THROAT.

and i jsut. i couldn't even process the ending. we finally got another hero mention but it's literally her being trained to kill???? ow??? and they were training normal too??? also THE VOICE SAYING NORMAL WAS THE CHOSEN ONE??? like am i the only one losing it over that??!? i cannot for the life of me understand what happened at the end but JESUS CHRIST i am just. AGH. i am not o-a-k rn.

will campos when i find you. anthony burch when i find you. god. i'm going ot throw up. great episode y'all i'm gonna go lie down and die.

anyway that's my thoughts hbu?? :)

#also my dndads tuesday routine is. not conducive for an episode like today's #cause i listened to the ep in the middle of my campus' dining hall and tried not to sob into my pasta #and then i had 4 hours of class back to back and then an hour of work #so i literally could not process the episode until all that was done and then i just completely broke #rambling in tags #ask #thedndgoblinwholivesinyourwalls #dndads spoilers #dndads
