on nancy drew and time

the way time passes (or more accurately does not pass) in nancy drew is a bit of a running joke by now, especially with how insistent they were on the one-year timeline throughout this season

until recently i thought the writers were simply being too reluctant to let time pass off-screen. a little bit of control freak-ness in an otherwise fun writing crew

but after everything is said and done i wonder if this hasn’t more to do with how they saw these characters as going through a stage of their lives where they’re trying to find themselves. which... it IS that. but retrospectively i can see now that they thought of it as like the year between high school and college where you’re trying to decide what to do. hence the necessity to keep it short because you can’t have them waste too much time on it

the problem is to me (and not just me i would bet) this has never really felt like that. to me they felt more like young adults figuring life out by living it. they were trying to find themselves, yes, but they were already living that post-school life

i think factually the story they wrote is several years of the lives of a group of twenty-something friends figuring things out. but in their minds, maybe because they were set on it from the start, they just wrote that one-year gap between high school and college. hence the jarring effect every time they tried to remind us of the timeline

#nancy drew #i think they must have realized at some point #especially this last season #that trying to say all that happened happened in less than a year is a bit ridiculous #and when i say the one-year timeline i'm being generous because it's one year to nancy's mom death #and carson was already dating someone new in the pilot #i hope he waited a few weeks? #anyway #they must have realized it but decided to stick with it #because if you want to send your characters to pre-med and law school #you don't want to have 'wasted' four years of their lives before that #which... i'm not a fan of many choices here #still a very enjoyable show with a satisfying ending

Funniest thing I've seen today- trying to be out here being a fan of this show and of Eddie while UNIRONICALLY calling people (queer people, at that) freaks. Time to hop a Delorean back to 1986 bc apparently you've learned absolutely nothing 😂

#steddie #steve harrington x eddie munson #eddie munson #steve harrington #stranger things #st4 #stranger things 4 #anti bullshit #I'm just. how do you watch this show #ESPECIALLY this last season #And come away with the message 'it is totally fine to call the people I don't like freaks' #also good luck with that. steddie is very extremely not dead 😂

dramatic eyes. dramatic lips. drama on the cheeks.

this is like the tiniest moment in all of television that i am THRILLED exists, because it’s just so satisfying to see karl clocking gerri’s roman feelings and gerri oblivious to the fact that someone has noticed, and probably even to the fact that she’s doing anything that could be noticed, because she’s so nervous for roman up there trying to give his eulogy in a state of clear distress. gerri! gerri being that off her guard! gerri! and in relation to j. smith cameron’s recent comment about gerri not realizing how attached she was to roman or really comprehending her own feelings for him because she’s not a sentimental person ... aaaaaaah. aaaaahhh!

#these absolute itty bitty moments are so efficient at telling you so much wtf #like this season technically was pretty dang light on romangerri time #especially the last two episodes! #and yet A FEAST came out of all these tiny little crumbs! #never before have i been so nourished by so little #romangerri #roman x gerri #gerri kellman #succession #dollsome's deep thoughts

First and Last appearances of Poorly-Drawn-MDZS Season 1!

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #not tagging them all here cause these are just comic excerpts #left out a quite a few characters cause they either didn't show up enough OR their first/last is a poor representation #the 'omg its Hanguang Jun' call back was intentional B*) #Surprised that no one pointed it out but now *I* can! Bursting into the scene fabulously is how LWJ starts and ends season 1! #Jin Ling has the least dramatic glow up (honestly I have been finding him harder and harder to draw) but he *does* have a moral glow up #I think *this* comparison is the one I feel best emphasizes my journey on this blog. #thank you to everyone who started following and cheering me on. Especially those who've been here since the very start #That said - no matter when you found this blog; It means a lot to me B*) #that's it for the reflective meta posting: season 2 starts back in July. I've gonna take this week to catch up on asks!

beatrice + every episode - episode 1: “psalm 46:5”

#sister beatrice #avatrice #warrior nun #warriornunedit #avatriceedit #sisterbeatriceedit #kristina tonteri-young #kind of forget that bea was like...5th on the cast in terms of importance and screen time in season 1 #at least before ava fully commits to the ocs #and basically attaches herself to bea's hip #so some of her early ones in this little project might be kinda small #but still i love this #especially the last two #myedits

Crowley witnessing the abuse aziraphale has to suffer in heaven (cus bodyswap yk) is destroying my brain just a little bit.

#I could probably talk about this for hours #especially after season 2 #the way that crowley had to experience that and then gabriel showed up completely clueless and aziraphale wanted to help him #UGH #just watched the last two good omens s1 episodes so I am in my ineffable husbands feels rn #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #gabriel good omens #ineffable husbands #alma posts #david tennant #michael sheen

the fucking. the fucking pause after troy says “the floor can’t be lava forever, the game has to end.” then abed looks at him and you can see him debating whether to tell troy what’s actually going on in his head. he almost doesn’t tell him. but then, after a few seconds of silence, he. “it isn’t a game for me, troy. I’m seeing real lava because you’re leaving. I don’t want to be crazy but I am crazy” I’m losing my entire fucking mind HE DIDNT WANT TO TELL HIM

#sorry for posting about geothermal escapism I know we’re all still in pain #the last thing he wanted to do was confront what was going on #especially not in front of troy #give him BACK goddammit #may the movie heal us all god please #community #nbc community #community nbc #community tv #abed nadir #troy barnes #trobed #troy and abed #six seasons and a movie #geothermal escapism

It’s always confused me how Sifo-Dyas had visions of a horrible doom future and came up independently with this idea that the only way to prevent it was ordering up a clone army. And yes, I understand “see Order 66/the Republic attacked by an army, decide they need an army TOO” but it just doesn’t logically flow very smoothly. When have the Jedi used an army? Why leap to that as a Plan A?

But it makes a lot more sense if he had visions of the Clone Wars. Visions that specifically included the partnership between the Jedi and the clones. 

So he would have seen brave, intelligent clones working alongside Jedi, collaborating on a thousand different worlds. He would have seen them covering each other’s back, fighting side by side against literal and figurative monsters. He would have seen the Jedi Order fundamentally changing and growing alongside these people, perhaps even the future that never came to pass after winning the war. And the connections during it: Jedi wearing armor, forming bonds of respect and camaraderie, clones attached to “their” Jedi. Family units developing. Friendships, romances, sibling relationships... 

He would have seen Cody throwing Obi-Wan his dropped lightsaber for the dozenth time. And as a lifelong Jedi, he would have deeply understood the significance of that act. The trust.

If Sifo-Dyas truly believed the battle for the end of their world was coming, maybe for him, it wasn’t about just getting an army, it was about making that army. One built on mutual respect and absolute trust. It was seeing those exact people and the connections that would bloom there, and working backwards from that conclusion to make it exist. 

#Sifo-Dyas just watching the Clone Wars 2008 series in his head but missing the last season #he’s like Dooku I only have one question why is your bed so big two questions what the fuck is up with your monogrammed pajamas #but really this question fascinates me about what exactly Sifo-Dyas saw and what he thought he was doing #especially because the war would have been won without direct sabotage from the Sith the clones never would have betrayed the Jedi otherwis #the jedi and clone after a won war peacetime AU kills me #the clone wars #projedi #clones #jedi order #sifo-dyas #I realize I tend to view Sifo-Dyas positively #and there could be much more cynical readings of the Clone Wars #but I'm just talking this out

idk if this makes sense. but i kind of love that the last of us makes me cry and viscerally FEEL true emotions on a weekly basis. like i cant remember the last tv show i watched that had me consistently bawling my eyes out and so immersed in a show because of the characters, the story, the incredibly strong writing, etc. and it doesn't feel manipulative. it just feels profound and beautiful and poetic but also tragic and... human.

#it's a whole spectrum of emotion!!! it's beautifully tragically human!!!! is that not what it is to exist!!!! #and it's therapeutic honestly. to spend like an hour in a world that isnt real but that you can relate aspects of your life to. #and you can just connect to these characters and their experiences and release the emotions that have been building up inside. #i'm sure that if you've played the game you feel this all the more strongly #but as someone who hasn't and went into tlou without prior knowledge #i'm just very pleased with it and idk i love watching a show that can elicit such a strong reaction from me #granted i AM what people would call 'sensitive' and 'emotional' or whatever #but even for me i dont think i've felt quite this intensely about a show - especially not right away during a first season #these are just my half baked thoughts and i definitely could say so much more but i'll leave it here for now #sameera.txt #the last of us

man

#maybe im being pessimistic abt this. im not saying u should wear a mask every waking moment of your life god knows i cant #but also. hell no i dont trust u if anything i distrust u ppl even more after how things played out for the past 3 years #like there are situations where it might be inevitable catching covid. most of my family members are nurses and in constant contact #but there are also a ton of ways to make that risk low as possible like masking and wearing a face shield and having sanitizer #for me its not enough to just say oh we're in a small group and we're all vaccinated #motherfucker your kid is sick from preschool EVERY TIME WE VISIT. of course ill be wearing a mask she gave me covid last year #also no the fuck it isnt seasonal the cases go up because lack of caution makes the virus spread and mutate especially around times when #ppl gather. add that with virus transmission in cold weather and its a matter of different factors increasing the risk of spread #im also tired of ppl not understanding that i wont be their responsibility if i do get sick. maybe they can help me recover #but at the end of the day the risk of death and long term health is all on me. i cant change that #the govt barely gives me accommodations what makes u think theyll do anything for every individual case of long covid or worse #im so tired. im so tired #i dont even know if its possible to want this to be over anymore i just wish we didnt have to deal with this in the first place #ALSO COUGH INTO YOUR SLEEVE SERIOUSLY HOW IS THIS SO HARD TO REMEMBER #oh its just a cold/dry throat its not like i have covid or anything. no!! its basic hygiene!!! how is this so hard to understand!!!!!!!!!! #and no this isnt abt whether people have the means to protect themselves this is me bitching abt my relatives not taking me seriously #vent #my art #myart #doodles #covid 19
