#during my current rewatch

[variousqueerthings]

shout-out to all the things that episode 1 introduces that don’t last:

the longer intro

this sexy emo look alongside the oddly deeper hawkeye drawl and less frenetic speech-patterns of later hawkeye (who is she 😍😜👀 she talks like hawkeye’s porn double!)

narrative centering Lieutenant Dish

“Sorry Major Baby” (actually how many times do they use “baby” subsequently?)

this version of the distillery 

this version of father mulcahy

this guy on the right? (why is he there? where does he go?)

“the MUMMY sTrRiiykes!!!!” otherwise known as the “hawkeye sounds like he’s at a 70s party and he’s high as fuck” line (to me)

“attention, attention, the following personnel are assigned to the 4077th mobile army surgical hospital: [list of names of which only a handful are actually going to be main characters]”

when ed said "you mean just curl up into a ball and die" in that little voice i felt that on a spiritual level

#i was replaying that clip in my head when i was really uncomfortable during my internship #it really helps getting the emotions out #thank you david jenkins and taika waititi #our flag means death #blackbeard #edward teach #currently finishing my 4th rewatch btw

im at the point in the parks and rec rewatch where they got really really big and it kinda loses some of its charm

#i’ll finish #but like… i love the show (obviously my most long term url was inspired by ben wyatt) #((if you remember that url you’re entitled to a veterans discount)) #but getting older i can kinda see it’s not as good in the latter half #though it’s still really really funny #can’t believe nbc canceled the show because the actors were getting to big and nbc was worried they wouldn’t return #like… yeah rashida jones and rob lowe left in season 6 #but that doesn’t mean a lot of people would leave #especially with how attached the cast was to the characters #like they all just said fuck it and did a zoom call special episode durning the pandemic to help spread awareness #like i do not think anyone would’ve left the show until it hit like MAYBE season 10 #but that’s just a theory #anyway i’m most likely going to finish this tonight (probably go back and rewatch a few episodes i passed out during) #then start a fmab rewatch cause i don’t know if i got the energy to read currently #though i do wasn’t to draw later #kelly babels #kelly watches things

hot take but honoo no kazamidori shouldve been a max and kageno technique just sayin

#literally one of the og inazuma eleven guys is a carbon copy of kageno you cant make this shit up #and max is also a forward! let him have a hand in major hissatsus damnit #having gouenji get literally everything is a tactical disaster the moment he's unable to play #im currently on another rewatch so the thought kinda popped into my head during that episode #churro chats

it's the way pat taking part in the architecture play could have easily ended in a jealousy plot where pran hates that pat is playing a romance with someone else. but it didn't. it didn't even end in that cliche where pran suddenly has to stand in for the other lead actor and suddenly pat is playing a romance with his actual secret boyfriend

#pls bad buddy is so good #can you tell i'm currently in the middle of rewatching ep 8 lmao #bbs #airenyah plappert #adrm #remember when we all thought pran was gonna end up as pat's co-star in the play #(i was watching bbs with my mom back when it aired and she too made that prediction during ep8) #and then it just. never happened

[krownest]

the problem is i really want to watch farewell my concubine (1993) but i know i will cry so so much and i am currently in an emotional state where it is like "what is the point of watching sad movies when i am already sad in real life" so i am currently at an impasse

#yes it is catharsis i know but. crying during the film will not solve my irl problems #i recently rewatched turning red and cried like 7 times #(for reference it is literally a pixar animated film. so hopefully this illustrates the degree to which i am a big baby) #this post is incoherent but i am currently in the depressed 23 yo stage of my life which is as you may infer. patheticcore #i do like chinese opera. and the costumes are beautiful and leslie cheung is in it #misc

I think my main issue comes from the back that they promoted episode 13 hard especially the buddie aspect of it and coming from that episode where it looks so promising to the next two episodes where we're introduced to multiple women for buck and eddie it just seems like I'm not gonna say baited but it's like they threw cold water on the fire they themselves started in episode 13 if that makes sense.

No, it doesn't make sense to me. Like, I know what you're saying, but I fundamentally disagree. They were not promoting the poker scene for the buddie aspect of it, that part was all us - and I have a pet theory they might not even have intended to show so much of it beforehand if that one still hadn't been put online so early in the portfolio of the person who helped design the set.

And yes, now they're apparently introducing at least one woman for Eddie to go on a date with (periodic reminder that we still don't *know* that Buck is going on new dates, we're just assuming) and... quite honestly, so what? We don't know what the date will lead to, we know almost nothing about what will go down in the last three episodes of the season, except that there will be some big catastrophe and everyone is covered in dust, and we don't know for how long any of the women getting introduced in the following episodes will stick around. So what we can do is assume, and based on the story they've been telling with both Eddie and Buck over especially the past two seasons, I would assume that going on dates with one or a few women is yet another step in realising they might be ready for a romantic relationship in their lives.

I also think a lot of you are taking the whole dating aspect a bit too seriously. A big part of dating is figuring out what it is you want from a partner and in your life, and it doesn't immediately have to be a big, serious thing. I know that dating in your teens usually means being in a relationship (at least it did in my teens), but when you're an adult it's more common to go on several dates with the same person without ever being in a relationship with them. It's all part of figuring it out. And doesn't that sound like something a certain someone has been talking about during this season? Figuring themself out?

#ask frida #anon #in the fandom we talk a lot about the shift that can be seen between buck and eddie between seasons 2 and 3 #but i'm rewatching with my sister and we're currently on s4 #and i'm pretty certain there's been a shift again between them after or during 5b #i'll have to get back to it once we reach that part in our rewatch but i have a feeling.

There's a lot about EXU Prime that is fascinating to think about in the context of C3 (like, for example - Orym and Fearne absolutely have experience with a party member being tempted to the dark side, so their reactions to Imogen make a ton of sense - that's basically how they reacted to Dorian taking the crown), but I keep coming back to this quote from episode 6:

"[Magic] is undifferentiated. It is not divine. It is not something wrought by man. It is not nature. It is whatever it needs to be. It is simply power. The decision, the deciding makes it a thing. [...] All of this place, all of Exandria, holds potential, holds energy, grabs it, takes it, makes it and gives it. But it is the decision of you reaching into a place, full and ripe, and deciding to bring something into being. That is the power that some call of the gods, that some call the arcane. It is power and it is beautiful."

Aside from it being beautiful on its own, this is effectively the thesis statement on power for EXU Prime as a whole. And I think it's really cool that we're seeing this theme woven, too, through Campaign 3: that it's about how you use the power, not where it comes from. It's about the power of choice. Even Opal's exchange after this quote, where she calls bullshit and questions whether she really has control over her own life, hits on a lot of the feelings Bells Hells (and Imogen specifically) have right now.

EXU Prime and Campaign 3 are different stories, and they do stand on their own. (I don't think EXU Prime gets near enough credit for how solid of a story it is--that's a post for another time.) But I really like how they build on each other, sharing not only a world but themes, philosophies. A party of NPCs in a wizard moon conspiracy, a party of level 2 chucklefucks carting around a Vestige in a pie bag. Corruption, darkness, power, choice. Family chosen and grasped for. Even more than being set on the same fantasy planet, it makes these narratives feel connected, and it helps me appreciate them that much more.

#exu prime #cr3 #bells hells #the crownkeepers #clickbait title: exu prime walked so cr3 could run #I overlooked a lot of the cool stuff in exu prime during my first watch-through #and it's been really interesting rewatching the series over the past couple of days #I definitely see the flaws and why it may not have hit for everybody #but the emotional threads of the story are incredibly solid #and surprisingly complex #and there are things about it I love more than calamity or the current campaign #maybe for another post though

cant stopthinking about betty

#^ another post thats rlly funny with my current pfp. canon #anyways its genuinely terminal #i cant remember if ive already said this but i think its cause even tho i know for a fact i mustve watched episodes with her in it #because my brother says we did when we watched it as kids. i had ZERO memory of ever witnessing anything to do with her #other than ofc like. holly jolly secrets LOL but that doesnt count #i only knew of that stuff secondhand during the period where i was kind of just occasionally hearing about the show as it aired when i #wasnt watching it. so basically while i already kind of knew what happened. this is me experiencing her as a character and her plotline #essentially for the first time. and realizing ohmy god shes the best character ever. holy fawk....................... #i only just started my at rewatch and i just started s2 #but before that i had skimmed thru a guy's reactions to the full series which led to me watching her episodes for the first time. and MAN. #man. i love her somsuchh oh my god. BETTYYYYYTHAHRAHGHRHGRHRGHRGH #when the character is loving to the point of unhealthy obsession and sacrificing their entire life for the other person #that shit is like cocaine to me #rlly rlly hoping that f&c addresses how crazy and fucked her constantly sacrificing everything for simon is #literally GO TO THERAPY GIRL. GO TO CHAOS GOD THERAPY. #but then again. if she went to therapy she wouldnt be a cool wizard. so maybe its not worth it #also i love a good ''normal average human character slowly becoming less and less human until they are unrecognizable'' #serena.txt

I'm on hiatus from thinking for the next while. Discursive and analytical fandom practices I love you so so much you are in everything I do, including the silliest of headcanons and comics but FUCK I am not equipped to think about. Anything right now

#ramblings of a lunatic #tbh my art muscles are exhausted too so i think I'm just gonna. be a bottom feeder for a little while. #like a deep sea creature letting plankton drift into it's mouth on the ocean floor yknow #hard to do when half your dash is about stuff u are not a part of and the other half is abt the fandom that's in hiatus #and approaching it's finale (and the end of a show should NOT be the end of a fandom it should NOT but. i know how these things play out) #and i can't just rewatch the episodes bc I've literally seen them too many times now #and watching them is like. oh hey episode! blink. it's over #bc everything is MEMORIZED AT THIS POINT #the obvious answer would be to go watch something else rn but i keep TRYING AND IT'S NOT WORKING. I ONLY WANT THE SPRINTEREST RN #but i also don't if that makes sense. i want the spinterest to be new but also comforting and different but also the same #aka i want a new episode to release bc i dislike the quiet fandom during hiatus BUT i don't want it to air bc then the show is over #so I'm just kinda. sitting here. frustrated #sitting on all my art and text posts bc I'm in a funk rn and none of them feel Right™ #bc (CIRCLING BACK AROUND TO THE ACTUAL BODY OF THIS POST) they're all my usual hc/analytical fair #but i like to always have a good sense of character when i make those but those require REWATCHES FOR ME and i CAN'T REWATCH #BC OF ALL THE ABOVE THINGS I MENTIONED #oh man. i feel a bit better writing it down though. getting it out there somewhere in a semi-articulate way #I'm not done with my current hyperfixation- far from it depending on how the show ends- I'm just pre-bummed about the finale #and how it's gonna impact the fan environment that normally supplements my own fan activities like rewatches fanart etc #ohhhh my god that felt good to explain #it's to no one in particular but it felt good. this talking about your feelings shit actually works man #anyway please pray for me that i go to sleep some time tonight bc i slept for 5 hours in the middle of the day #after staying up the previous night #and i do not wanna throw my sleep schedule too far outta wack #(i think..i need to watch more movies? less commitment than series but distract me for a good bit. send reqs ig!)

it took me over a year and a half + five different boatem povs (excluding having rewatched grian's pov 3 times*) for me to understand grian's m&m pun during one of the meetings. oh my fucking god i am dumb. he's the head of meetings and marketing. m&m.. why did it take that long for me to get that. what the fuck. im dumbstruck right now. i literally can't believe myself

#not putting this as rb bc THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING #*listen ive had grian abstinences #ashy watching: hc s8 #(also during my current rewatch im not watching any of the povs ive already watched. which means im only watching impy from boatem atm) #.post

warning: if you are currently experiencing female hysteria, do NOT look at handsome men on Pinterest, and do NOT listen to mitski. It will just make it worse

#So many hormones #The 'handsome man' was David Tennant #There's something deeply wrong with me #Like I feel like the protagonist in a coming of age movie #In the least happy way #So dramatic #Currently sprawling over the bed and hysterically sobbing #Female hysteria isn't real I'm just going through something tbh #Haven't gone outside in so fucking long #I'm rewatching shit #Turning back into my cringy ass self #Like I was such a dumbass idiot during my Sherlock phase #And now I'm rewatching that 😭 #😭 #✨ #🫀

#payton watches tv #polls #my polls* #not counting shows I rewatched or that are currently in progress #rewatched a bit during freshman and sophomore year #most of these were my before bed shows with the exception of the last two #I think for some of them I watched during the day and before bed #Payton makes polls*

If there was a Sonic anime(Sonic Team invested and in X art style) released in today’s era, you think it’ll be more true to the games(plus adaptations) and especially no Chris(ugh)?

If Sonic Team is directing it I think they would stick to what they are familiar with. Given full creative freedom, I think that hypothetical anime would have the type of writing we've seen from all the recent Sonic Channel short stories, and that'd be dope as hell.

Despite some... questionable decisions along the way, Sonic X was considered to be closer to their "vision" at the time. So, imagine what would come out of a modern-day Sonic anime based on Sonic Team's current vision...

One can only imagine...

#ask latin dr robotnik #sonic the hedgehog #like i said a modern day anime with sonic channel-tier writing would be fucking amazing #it's one of those things i'd like to see them try again #i mean despite everything i still like sonic x quite a lot #and i was supposed to rewatch it in japanese during my current winter break but i forgot lmao
