Wow you think as a grown ass person you’ve got important things to care about. And then they do a Hannibal reunion in the ripe year of 2024 and you’re fourteen all of a sudden

#the disappointment at not getting S4. the joy at seeing them together. duality of man #I knewwwwww it wasn’t gonna happen. but a girl can dream. if she’s brave #I know we’ll get that season when hell freezes over as the kids say & maybe it’s for the best #but I haven’t cared for characters like this since childhood #fine I’ll rewatch the entire show!#emmys thoughts #Hannibal #Hannibal nbc #hannibal reunion #c2e2 2024

Does anyone else hate the way Steve was made believe that he was a bad guy and a shitty boyfriend? When he was literally the one who got cheated on and was dumped for some other guy?

Steve was never a bad person and he was never a bad boyfriend. He was a teenage boy who did maybe two bad things. What Nancy did to him was way worse.

Now he’s still in love with her? BITCH BYE. If he dies for her, I will throw up. I can’t stand her for the way she treated him and for how she gave him false hope again.

#i don’t like her after rewatching the show again and seeing her look at him with her stupid puppy eyes in s4 #she makes me so mad #she’s a badass character on her own but she needs to stay away from HIM

I know it's nothing new, but the fact that House can be vulnerable and caring with Wilson and Wilson can be selfish and cruel with House AND they do it to each other, usually at the same time- its. It's insane

#I was rewatching s4 like some masochist loser #house md #hilson

The thing that gets me is that if Will was a girl, this shit would be a wrap. “His breath catches” is just not a platonic line. Could you imagine Dustin giving Lucas a painting and his breath catching and him staring at Dustin??? No, because they’re written as platonic best friends.

#I say this as someone who went into S4 thinking Will was gay but that it was one sided #didn’t even know byler was a thing until like 4 months ago #and now that I’ve rewatched and im not myself a closeted teen anymore LMAO #it seems so obvious that this is/should be the endgame #byler #stranger things

an incomplete list of clues in the Black Door episodes pointing to the fact that something was wrong 🚩🔎🚨

Ace flatly refusing to look at or engage with Nancy

Ace not wanting to help Nancy

Ace not caring if a mystery got solved

after an argument, Nancy being the one who walks away first

#nancydrewedit #naceedit #nancy x ace #the heartbreak of truth #nancy drew cw #this post has been in my drafts for ages waiting for me to come up with a brilliant caption but that's not happening so here we go #just--this stuff is what stood out to me MOST in 409-412 even before we knew exactly what was wrong #and on rewatch it feels even wrong-er with the context #the more I watch s4 the more I like it and the more impressed I am with the writing #this show got the short end of the stick cancellation-wise and they gave us the best possible series finale they could bless them #I do really wish we could have seen their original plan I suspect it would have been as excellent as the other season finales #but they did their level best and the s4 we got was PRETTY GREAT imo #bethanyactuallyedit #queue of themyscira

i want to know about the extreme outlier opinion on never again!

ooh, thank you for your interest and I hope I don't get myself in trouble with this lol!

So this opinion is in multiple parts.

The first part being the one most unpopular, which is that Ed Jerse was not to only man who was not Mulder that Scully, that Dana had a night or a mini fling with between Jack Willis and/or then getting assigned to the X files and when MSR got together (whenever you believe that might be), and probably not the only dangerous one to some degree.

She's got that thrill seeker side to her, which is to some extent satisfied by chasing Mulder around on the X files. But Mulder keeps her in a sexless box in his perceptions -- IMO this is partially self defense on his part because if he lets himself go there even a bit in thinking of her dating potential/as a potential romantic-sexual partner his already limited ability to hold onto any kind of boundaries would just collapse. And I don't think this sexless view of her is at odds with my belief that Mulder was in love with her within a few months of working with her and knew it, but he doesn't think he deserves a relationship like that and more importantly he doesn't think Scully wants a relationship like that with him, or maybe not with anyone at all because she's given up dating completely after Jersey Devil, and what they talk about is work and theory and science and case notes and things within the kind of fixed shadow of their partnership/the files. Thus he's got this view of her that's completely divorced from her hedonistic, risk taking, rebellious, attention seeking, obsessive side.

I believe her ruthlessly compartmentalized nature and her constant awareness of other people's expectations of her, especially the expectations of people in authority or pseudo authority combined with a need for a release valve and a clear thread of sensualism in her character make it highly likely that there were other times when she picked a near-stranger and acted out a role with him, letting herself act out parts of herself she doesn't often express and using him as a proxy for her conflicted and/or baser feelings towards the Ahabs and 'fathers' in her life in a very limited capacity that is both satisfyingly dangerous (near stranger, almost certainly someone she doesn't really trust or want to get to know, after all she's not looking for a real and lasting relationship) and very safe because she can just stop playing that character and stop seeing that man and he won't even have ever 'met' the person she is the majority of the time.

I don't think she does it a lot, but by 'never again' it had been 4ish very high stress years with Mulder and 5ish years since Jack Willis, which, since Ethan didn't make it into the Pilot, was her last relationship, so yes. Maybe once or twice a year there's a bit of an 'i'm crawling out of my skin i need to tempt fate' ritual. And since we see so little of their personal lives, not hearing about it doesn't rule it out, the reason we saw this time because it was such a disaster and became another X-file -- and because Jerse was so dangerous and violent, and because Mulder found out about it, that particular game stopped being interesting even in a self destructive way. Plus very soon she would realize she had cancer and would take stock of her life in a different way and get closer to Mulder on another level so there was less of a need for a pressure valve rebellion.

And I don't think that this idea cheapens her relationship with Mulder or means she was cheating on him if that did happen, because it would be about simple attraction and being not 'herself' and also a proxy thing for her feelings and frustrations about Mulder that she's too afraid of tarnishing his image of her to let him into directly. And if it would make Scully's jealousy of Mulder interacting closely with other women hypocritical, well, she's certainly allowed to be a flawed character and is shown to have double standards about a number of things.

Part 2 of my outlier opinion is that Ed Jerse isn't out of character for Dana. Going back to Jack again, instead of believing in possession, she thought he'd had a mental break after years of obsessive work and mutilated a cadaver and killed a guy and she was not surprised at all. She had a fairly long relationship with him while believing he had that level of instability and violence in him when pushed. That means Jerse lines up for her.

part 3 of my outlier opinion (I guess it is, I don't see it talked about directly afaik) is that the story is dark as fuck with Jerse and his ergot psychosis but at the same time the tone is not horror-bleak the way Blood is and many s2/s3 with similar types of plots, but more extremely darkly ironic or wry. Between Mulder in Graceland and the extended Rocky and Bullwinkle plot discussion, and the fact that all it takes is a divorce and an Evil!Rosie the Riveter tattoo to push this guy over the edge there's this air of like, pulp noir mundane and ridiculousness. Fandom generally treats it as this like this profound statement about Mulder and Scully's relationship and Mulder's selfishness and thoughtlessness and if he just brought her a bottle of wine and asked about her day a la Van Blunht in Small Potatoes she could've been flinging that fling with him. Except, no, she couldn't use him as his own proxy, so she'd have to crack herself open a lot more than she was ready to. But also it's a story about both of them spinning their wheels and not getting anywhere and ending up feeling dumb, it's absurdist, it's a comment that neither character is smarter than their narrative, it's not a statement about a fractured partnership.

Part 4 is a little more out there and whatever but I do think Mulder's reaction is interesting. He's obviously hurt and completely baffled because he can tell Scully's given him very little of the actual framing of her distress and because 'i'm bored at my job' is both hurtful to him and something he can't conceptualize as leading to 'so i'll have a one night stand with a violent man' -- because that isn't her complaint, it's just what he heard. But in that last scene he doesn't read as angry or jealous, even the hurt doesn't exactly read as sexual jealousy. He's confused, he doesn't know what she wants, and he gets in some cheap shots with his annoyed. But there's an interesting tone to it. Maybe i'm reading too much in. I think there's a combination of trying to laugh it off/brush it off because he can tell she's feeling too exposed, and aside from the 'was the professional dissatisfaction worth all this??' he was curious. He'd caught a glimpse of the barest silhouette of her wild child side.

like a combination of 'so you slipped off your pedestal and bounced a little, so your halo got dented, so what' (paternalistic, dismissive, kidding) (reassuring) and 'oh, so she's a little like that? what else does she like? can a person get her like that without actually being on the verge of snapping?' He knows about Willis and Jerse now. It's more than one, and Willis is now certainly not a fluke. He's got to be sure there's some fascinating things brewing in her subconscious, and he's got the idea that her sexual side is one part girlish wounded bird, one part manic live wire, and one part intellectual 3D chess. He's curious about what that means for him and them. Curious about what she might be willing to do with him now that he's been reminded she'll do it with other people. He's even optimistic, I think, about what he could coax from her.

Probably also reminded to be cautious about what entanglements with him that he could accidentally 'manipulate' her into with some of his more demanding behavior, though. But like, even though they're both feeling bitter at that moment i do feel like there's a 'positive' in the kind of colliding worlds event of the episode in Mulder being reminded of Scully being a human woman with a carnal side.

And that is... I think the bulk of what I wanted to talk about re: NA? I think? My brain feels overcooked now. But I rewatched it to refresh my memory (i'm now in s5) but I stand by this. And also I think I need to break my custom and do post-episode fic about it, honestly.

#character theory: scully #character theory: mulder #txf never again #txf s4 #i think this needs my #msr #tag so i can find it later but yes whether or not this belongs in the ship tag is debatable. feels shippy to me though!#i'm sorry this ask took so long it needed some thinking and a rewatch XD #txf #also sorry not sorry but i do Get It about Jerse like yes i agree Scully too bad he turned out to be *that* over the edge lol #also a good reminder to have an interpersonal relationship (no matter how brief and doomed) call her Dana #it'd been a few seasons

if you ever ask yourself, 'should i watch the magicians?' just know, when i first watched season 4 the ending was so bad it triggered a depressive episode that lasted over a month

#the magicians #quentin coldwater #it was also 2020 during quaratine so that didnt Help #but the ending of season 4 DEVASTATED ME #i cried on and off for a week #bc to see a character that has had the exact same mental health struggles as you...just die by suicide??#it was like being told that it doesnt matter how much you want to live the depression will still win in the end #every rewatch ive done since then i stop before the finale of s4 #still havent watched s5 and will probably never do so

my #1 request for season 5 that is actually a demand and possibly even a biological need at this point is that they tone down the humor. i know they're on strike and they'd been writing for nine months before that so it may very well be too late but i need someone to get this message to the writers please i will literally die if they're ever unfunny again.

#actually eight sorry #i remember watching s4 and often being like. this is not funny AT ALL i'm hating this so so so so so so much (that's how much i was hating #it) and then i was like maybe it was always like this and i wasn't in a stranger things state of mind before starting this season? but #then i rewatched and it actually was NOT always like this. there's always been funny bits but my god #and like i say: brf slt
