[hangesextra]

Hey, a good girls guide to murder fans. Let's hope the show won't be on Netflix.

#i dont trust netflix #as a Lockwood & Co. fan we trusted netflix #we had hope we'd get a second season #but did we? #no. #instead it got CANCELED #i am not about to see a series of books i love to get a show and then get canceled if netflix doesn't get enough views. #plus they hardly appreciate book adaptations #i just not again #i dont wanna get attached and then lose a second season #yes im worrying when we know nothing #but its just me #a good girls guide to murder #ps if you follow me for other fandoms #you should read the agggtm series. its actually soooo good. #so passionate netflix hating lol

The old guard's plot had the potential to be an amazing show, and I would've genuinely loved to have more screentime of the characters. Also I think that a 50 min episode show format would've complimented the amount of flashbacks and backstory better.

(I am in no way saying that the movie was rushed,the movie was a genuine masterpiece and tbh idk if the plot had enough to be a show but I just love this characters so much that I need all the crumbs ALL OF THEM)

BUT THIS ONLY APPLIES IN THE HYPOTHETICAL THAT THE SHOW WAS MADE BY HBO. BC IT WAS MADE BY NETFLIX I AM EXTREMELY GLAD THEY MADE IT A MOVIE

I'm just spewing nonsense tbh

#i dont trust netflix #they always find a way to fuck it up #tog #the old guard

Okay since mp100 is on Netflix how much do you wanna bet that people are gonna go into it expecting a comedy, knowing Reigen from the memes, not aware it'll snap your spine in half and then gently piece it back together and give you instructions on the healing process. Like I watched it expecting a fun comedy show I could bond with my friend over. I feel like we've given everyone a very incorrect idea of what mp100 is about and I'm very curious as to how many people will watch it for the jokes and then accidentally get hooked on it. Which tbh I'm very excited for. And also same. Come closer this is an innocent funny action show it won't leave you reevaluating how you view your relationships to other people and how you view your relationship with yourself. It will definitely not hit every neurodivergent weird kid square in the jaw. Come closer.

#by neurodivergent i dont just mean adhd and autism. btw. #mp100 #this is just me rambling #because like. oh boy. #season three isnt out on netflix yet. hopefully its coming soon #come closer guys this wont kill you. you will be so normal after this show. trust me. take my hand.

ambrosius and ballister may be the cutest couple i’ve seen in a while, but i’ll be honest and say that i was rooting for them to break up during the whole movie

#i will not stand for a couple that can hardly trust each other #i dont care for the brainwashing and the propaganda excuse #ambrosius fucking grew up with ballister and probably knew him better than anyone else #and yet he still turned his back on him the moment it looked like he was a bad guy #ambrosius and ballister are adorable #but fuck ambrosius anyway #nimona movie #nimona #nimona netflix #ballister x ambrosius #ambrosius goldenloin #nimona ballister #ballister blackheart #ballister boldheart

so howd you like it what are your thoughts

Anon, I hope you don't mind it but I'm going to use this ask as an excuse to do my Full On Rambling post about my honest thoughts. I'll try to keep is as coherent as possible, but I can't actually guarantee it :')

Also putting it under a cut because some of it is going to sound negative (as I said, I want to exorcise any critiques I have so I can go back to Vibing asap) and I know many people (undestandibly!!) won't want to read that, and I don't want to burst anyone's happy bubble :) . And also because of s3 spoilers. Bear in mind that it's not a rant post, I still had tons of fun with the season. But since I'm going to be talking about the things I enjoyed forevermore and gonna try to keep all my 'didn't really like this :/'s contained in this post, it may come out sounding like I enjoyed it less than I truly did. Here we go, get ready for some Thoughts

-> Content

Okay, listen. This season was fun. I had a nice time watching the newest shenanigans. New characters (with one notable exception) were a joy to watch (yes, even the thing. We're in a toxic situationship) and I was greatly amused by their adventures; most of them kept me on the edge of my seat.

(ok, here's where the negativity begins. Please don't take me for someone who wanted everything to be done for Their Specific Standards or who thinks they know more than the professional and extremely skilled team that was behind the series. I'm just throwing around thoughts about how I feel, but in the end, the only thing that matters is that Luke Pearson and the team got to tell the story they wanted to. If that was achieved, I'm happy regardless)

However, I couldn't help but think that some of it felt... like it was "thrown" at us, in a way? To be fair, I think most of the negative points I'll discuss in this post are a consequence of this season being 6 epsidoes short of what the writers originally planned because, as I've mentioned before, I do think the show's writing is great and that the team puts their heart and soul into making this the best cartoon possible. Anyway, what I mean is that at times I thought the episodes seemed so worried with delivering all the information they could that a lot was left behind and some stuff didn't really tie together with the rest.

For example; I still cannot understand why aunt Astrid and Anders had to be these big surprises that had never been mentioned before if Hilda, the character who we see this world through, already knew about them? Don't misunderstand me, I am well aware that these nitpicks of mine are subjective and only my personal opinions that may very well simply be a consequence of not understanding what the writers were trying to achieve. I just feel like Johanna's family and Hilda's father are topics that have been discussed so at lenght in the fandom, precisely because they'd been so carefully skirted around in the previous seasons, that the reveal that nothing really dramatic had happened (between Johanna/Astrid and Johanna/Anders, at least) feels anticlimatic to me. It just feels (again, to me, personal opinion) that if this was going to be the case all along they could have mentioned these characters before, and it would have made the narrative make a little more sense.

(This is especially true to me in Anders' case. Bc it felt to me like they had been trying to highlight how irrelevant Hilda's dad was to the story in the first seasons by not bringing him up at all, by not even pointing out his abscence. But I can't really see the point in that if you're gonna bring out the man either way)

Ironically, at the same time I felt like some of the arcs were a tad overachieving, especially the Johanna's parents one. I just felt like it was Too Much Too Quickly, which once again is likely because of the season having been shortened. I feel like if they really wanted to do that arc, and that way, it would have been helpful to cut some other storylines so they could begin fleshing out this one earlier. They way it was done I just personally (can you tell I'm terrified of being taken as a hater?) felt like there was no time at all to get either used to the idea of Johanna being half faerie nor to get attatched to her parents. Like. I know the episode was the season's emotional peak, but it just didn't hit me the way I know it should.

Not sure if this was a me problem, but I felt like the audience wasn't given enough time to process what had even happened when they got stuck in the fairie island, nor to even consider that they'd truly be stuck there forever, much less to fully process the sacrifice Johanna was making when she left it with Hilda. I didn't get to get attached to Johanna's parents or to the dynamic they have with their daughter. I didn't suffer the way I wanted to when I saw them having to part ways, because I couldn't become invested in their bond when I was still trying to wrap my head around what their backstory even was and pay attention to the action heavy scenes that were to come.

What I'm gonna say here is way meaner than the people behind the show's writing deserve and I know, I can absolutely tell it isn't the case because you can see some of the foreshadowing once you have the benefit of hindsight, but it felt to me like some of Johanna's backstory was written for shock value alone. Which, considering the previous components of the season that I have already mentioned felt underwhelming, was even more jarring.

Another thing is that I feel like a lot was sacrificed in order to do these overachieving arcs. This maaay just be the side character lover and change hater in me, but I do feel like in order to present to us all these new concepts that would be necessary for the backstory to make sense, we were deprived of some elements in Hilda The Series that are arguably what the show does best. It felt like they all but scratched all of their previous stories, characters and components to switch them up for new ones. Pikablob has said it better than me, tbh.

However. I do feel like saying that none of the fears I had for the season came true. No character feels ooc, no one was left with an incomplete arc, and though I can't see how Anders contributes to the story, if he had to be there I feel like the way that was it done was the right one.

-> Pacing

Frenetic. Run for the hills kind of thing sometimes. Which, once again, I can't bring myself to believe was the writers' fault, not when they had other 6 episodes planned that they didn't get to do. I absolutely understand that they had to condense everything they wanted to show us into half the runtime. But it did become an issue (to me) when instead of the trademark Hilda Idyllic Tranquility I usually feel while watching (even plot and action heavy content like TMK), I felt like I was watching a completely different cartoon. Carmen Sandiego, or something like that (please note that I do also love Carmen Sandiego). Many times it just felt like there was no breathing space, which isn't necessarily bad when done well, but I hadn't gone into the season prepared for that.

It wasn't a problem that was all around present, though. I do want to point out that imo "The Giant Slayer", "The Laughing Merman", "Strange Frequencies" and even "The Forgotten Lake" still felt like Hilda to me. Which is where I realize what the main issue I had with the season was. That a lot of it just felt like a different show.

-> ~ vibes ~

I am bringing back the disclaimer that if the team told the story they wanted to, then good for them, I'm pleased as can be. I do enjoy that the series played with some different concepts. The musicality and colours in The Laughing Merman, for example, were absolutely delightful to me. Seriously, I want an entire Hilda musical now.

But some things I just couldn't help but feel were so disconnected from the previous feel of the show that it felt to me like they didn't belong. You can sum the rest of this post up by saying that season 3 would have been one of my favourite ever cartoons if it had been its own thing. But it's not, so I can't help but compare it and try to understand how all of the installments work when together.

The faeries, for example. I was so excited when I saw the trailer and knew it was going to be one of the plots, because I thought it was going to be another adventure of the day type of thing that would span over three episodes max. And listen, I've talked about how much I love Celtic folklore, and maybe this is just my consistency loving brain being annoying, but it felt a bit... clashing? that this season was based on tales and creatures and treaditions that weren't the scandinavian ones that inspired the rest of the series. It just felt like a major shift in tone that I don't really understand (once again, me problem, may very well be a skill issue on my part & I'm not saying they shouldn't have ventured so far just bc I didn't quite vibe with it). It just feels a bit off to me, knowing that Johanna's backstory was likely planned from the start, that there wasn't any celtic lore at all in previous seasons to make this sudden detachment from nordic folklore feel less out of the blue.

You know that joke that Disney movies like Aladdin and Raya take concepts from different cultures and smash them together like they're not completely different? I felt to some extent (bc OF COURSE Hilda is much better researched and has a lot better quality than that /gen) like they did that this season. But with white people. Which, fair, I can appreciate the irony.

Back to the topic of bold storylines, I understand what the Hilda team did with all the Johanna backstory. I understand that it's something that everyone wanted to see soo bad and they wanted it to be great (and it was). The thing I got stuck on is just that it ended up changing the vibe of the show to me. Whereas previous seasons feel like "slice of life in a magical place", I felt like this time I was watching a magic centered fantasy. Especially when they got into trying to explain the origin of magic and everything. Which is ironic, because I enjoyed the concept a lot and will explore it in the future, but it still felt like something that I wouldn't have expected Hilda the Series to tackle. Like there was a giant shift from folkloric to fantastic that isn't bad, but it is different and I hadn't been prepared for that lol.

God, I feel like I just wrote all of that and just to be A Bitch. I just wanted to get these thoughts out but I don't expect you guys to agree or anything. I genuinely liked watching this season, and I will continue to reiterate this in the future. And even if it doesn't beat s1 or s2 in my heart, I'm still grateful we got a final season at all, and everyone who was involved in it deserves all the praise <3

S3 Flayed! Billy looks like a doll. And essentially, he is one. A puppet, really.

He speaks through his eyes, and nobody hears.

Which is why I think his final yell of defiance is poetic as hell.

But it was useless, because him gaining control and taking his voice and body back ended up being trashed on repeatedly in season 4.

Also: why did they keep cutting from Billy to Hopper if they were just going to bring Jim back anyway?

#its just so sad #he goes from one master to another #that taste of freedom so short #billy hargrove #master of puppets shouldve been billys song and i stand by that #he broke free from the Mind Flayer #he didnt bow on his own accord #he was forced #and he did not yield #but the duffers went 'fuck that' #anti duffers #anti stranger things #anti netflix #i want billy back but i dont trust the duffers as far as i can throw em #yes im still pissed about them bringing back hopper BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAP AND IT WAS STUPID #those tears shed by joyce and el meant NOTHING

netflix one piece live action feels a little like fanfic in that it makes sure it hits all the important notes but doesnt do all the work to make them hit which works in fic where the reader is supposed to bring all the emotional story investment from the original but doesnt work in a multi million adaptation that is supposed to be able to stand on its own or even serve as an intro to the series. it even does this in service to have more koby and helmeppo gay moments in this essay i w

#one piece #opla #the fleshing out of koby and helmeppo is like honestly good its a beacon of light its truly really fun #and all the actors are great it is just what they are given . #they didnt let nami do any real betraying. they didnt even have her steal the merry!! she just stole the map that they added in!!!! #ddont get me started on the gutting of sanjis intro. i dont give a shit about if don krieg appears or not i need to see this guy fuckin #feed the hand thats about to kill him im going to start shaking like a dog. #im almost madder krieg appeared for just a little id rather have that time be used for. anything else really. #like have one of arlongs guys starved half to death when they get to arlong park!or idk anything! no gin appears look its gin! you know him #sanji doesnt even get to beat the shit out of a shitty guest. like i guess he does a little but it feels so blink and you miss it #+the first like two eps were good!! buggys great hes scary and weird and fun. i dont mind that he sticks around longer in theory #but the way he is comedic relief instead of basically every character having funny bits is like. ahghhhgggg. its a symptom of this really #mean and edgy feeling the whole thing has. like the removal of people missing usopps pirate calling :( and how cocoyashi didnt know #nami was working to help them. like p. please. can we have caring and bonds in this world?? trust and love??? #anyway. sorry for having expectations of a netflix show im so close to putting this into a more proper form rather than tags. just to get i #all out of my system cause fuck man. #anyway solid 7/10 not as bad as it couldve been

I love being T4T. My gf has been on estrogen for a couple weeks now and she's been having a rough time with her mood so I'm teaching her about the ancient art of soaking in a bubble bath with a little drink to sip while watching shows on your laptop

#pro-tip for any girls newly on E. this is The Cure for PMS #(which accurately describes what youre going through btw) #other great cures include putting on nice smelling lotion and fuzzy socks and wrapping yourself in a blanket burrito/nest #also eating lots of chocolate or other sweets and drinking your favorite caffeinated beverages #my mom used to always put on lotion and fuzzy socks and drink dr pepper and eat chocolate #my cousin likes to watch netflix in the bath with wine and then get in a blanket burrito with her favorite lemonade tea #if youve got someone to take care of you then you dont even have to come out of the burrito. you can just ask them to bring you things #all of these methods help a lot. we're experts on this you can trust me (family of people with endometriosis) #also if youre having headaches and bloating and stomach pain you might try midol (generic works fine) #it has acetaminophen for pain + caffeine for headaches (like excedrin) + antihistamine for bloating #also to clarify: i said girls newly on E only bc i figured girls who have been on it for a while might have already figured this stuff out #but PMS is by no means exclusive to transfems who have newly started on E #many transfems have reported getting PMS symptoms and even cramps on a monthly basis after being on estrogen for a while #this is bc after a while on E your body can start naturally making more estrogen and this can come with its own hormone cycle #and as a result you can essentially get all of the symptoms of a period just without the actual bleeding #(this can include cramps bc even in cis women the signals for the muscle spasms can sometimes get misdirected to nearby organs— #unfortunately causing stomach issues as well) #so if anyone out there happens to not already know this information and youve been feeling like shit periodically for seemingly no reason #now you know 😅 #its your period #rambling

Real question what's the height difference between marilyn and the reader?

Like that would really help me envision them better! 🥰

i honest to god don't have one 😭😭 like ik I've written before that reader "looks up" to marilyn when speaking to her but I think thats me unconsciously writing in that power dynamic by using height difference dkkddk but realistically marilyn is what, 5'1??? 5'2?? to me ig reader would be taller by a couple of inches. but not when marilyns wearing her red dyke heeled boots <33

#asks #i also dont say specific physical attributes so people can project but trust i have a face claim/idea of what reader looks like when i writ #marilyn thornhill x reader #marilyn thornhill #wednesday netflix #marilyn thornhill x fem reader

Have you seen the live action trailer? What are your thoughts?

I have seen this one

Idk if they've realesed a new one but based on that one im really excited about the sets, props and the looks of the charectets, im unsure about the dialogues/script and i hope is freat bc to the actors it means so much

In short: carefull optimistic

#i really wish its good but i dont trust netflix #ask #ask: op #one piece netflix

[dangerouslypassiveaggressive]

Let me just start by saying I LOVED Wednesday. The show is fun, creepy, mysterious, kooky, and yes, sometimes even spooky. But that's not what this post is about.

*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****

I just wanted to point out that I think what people can't put their finger on what feels off about the show is that the plot treats Wednesday like a normal protagonist. It gives her a bubblegum pop bff, a love interest, another love interest, an innocent to motivate herself by (bee boy), a rival queen bee, mommy issues, automatic popularity, and bureaucracy that gets in her way.

But the thing is, Wednesday's just trying to do her own thing. SEVERAL TIMES she tells people POINT BLANK that she doesn't understand why they expect her to understand the signals/cues they're sending her. When Enid is crying on the roof, Wednesday doesn't comfort her the way Enid needs because she doesn't know her yet and Enid gets more upset. When Tyler tells her she's "sending all these signals" she's not guilty, she's confused. When she's confronting Xavier about why he might be the Hyde, she says he hasn't hurt her because "for some inexplicable reason, he seems to like her". Time and time again, characters show interest in her because she's the protagonist so she SHOULD get all the attention. She's the titular character!

But Wednesday isn't really meant to be a protagonist in the normal sense. She isn't written for a mysterious teen romance, she's written for a more mature Nancy Drew kind of plot. And don't get me wrong!! I'll take what the show ended up being. It was fun, there was a lot of character development, and it was overall well written for the plot it came up with. And I loved the other characters! I just wanted to point out why I thought it was a little off, and everyone kind of noticed the same thing, so here it is. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk 👍
