Okay so I picked up Gossip Girl because I was bored and packing. I figured why not log my opinions (because I’m still kind of bored)
- Serena coming back and expecting everything to be the same is kinda like…idk fair but also not fair? I can’t remember how long she was gone for but Yknow
- Serena’s relationship with her brother (Eric!!) is the best. It’s so sad their mom is hiding him because of his attempt. That’s fucked.
- Blair gives me the cattiest, rudest, most annoying bitchy vibes ever. She is the problem I swear.
- Nate and his buddy (Chuck) that I don’t know the name of are side characters. They look like side characters, they feel like side characters.
- I’m going to forget a lot of names…
- Jen is cute. I like Jen. She feels real. I kinda sorta really want her and Serena to be friends.
- JENNY AND SERENA ARE SO CUTE UGH
- okay if Serena would just tell Blair what happened and opened up I think she’d be a lot more understanding of her situation. Like Eric almost died that’s a really valid thing to disappear over. But Blair doesn’t know that because of Mom and she’s the original problem.
- OMG OMG THEYRE FRIENDS??? STAY FRIENDS PLEASE??? THIS IS GOOD. TRUST IS GOOD.
- sigh. I hate plot sex.
- Why the fuck does it matter what Nate and Serena did if Serena isn’t into him anymore?? Blair drop this whore ass man he’s not helping either of you. Mf is a worse drama whore than everyone involved.
- I’m going to kill Chuck.
- Dan is kind of swag. And I love that Serena doesn’t ignore him I know that’s an intentional trope but still. She’s not a bad person clearly
- I do not feel bad for Nate and I will not feel bad for Nate. He’s a pussy. He folds to his parents and manipulates girls because he’s too much of a coward to stand up for himself. His whole problem that he won’t face is hurting people.
- BLAIR DO NOT DO THAT CATTY BULLSHIT BECAUSE YOURE JEALOUS I SWEAR. Ugh she’s just a stereotype and I hate the stereotype. But I’m going to choke down this show anyways because I’ve got nothing better to do.
- Dad (Rufus) is actually kind of cool. I’m enjoying him handing Mom’s ass to her. It’s funny.
- Damn all the moms in this show suck.
- this stupid song about how hard it is for these privileged ass kids annoys me and it will very quickly become a political rant. Y’all have SO MUCH and here you are whining about “oh the limo is full of too much dramaaa” meanwhile y’all would probably run over a homeless persons tent on the way to the party. This rant is going to be frequent and constant. Like yeah it sucks to have no agency in your lives but it’s not the worst problem in the world and this show makes it so melodramatic. I’m sure society recognizes this (or I at least hope it does) but that’s my biggest ick. Oh and Chuck.
- IM GOING TO KILL CHUCK fucking gross ass whore ass bitch WHY ARE WE NORMALIZING THIS GROSS BASTARD please Serena get her away from him
- Oh thank god Jen is smart and recognizes how creepy this is. Chuck don’t pretend to be the cool guy who actually asks DAMMIT DONT
- this show is going to give me an aneurysm
- OH THANK GOD JEN IS SMART
- YES GIRLS PROTECTING GIRLS AND SUPPORTIVE BROTHERS THANK GOODNESSSSS
- while I think it’s stupid to focus on Serena’s social life I appreciate her immediately going to worry about Jen because of Chuck’s behavior. That shows true kindness
- there is so much SA in this show so guys be safe, buddy system, keep your phones on and tracked, be aware of your drinks, etc etc. it’s concerning
- YEAHHHH DAN GIVE IT TO THAT GROSS ASS BITCH
- Once again loving how Serena cares more about Jen and keeping her safe than her own social life and all that petty stuff. It’s honestly kind of refreshing
- oh god Nate kiss my ASS. You too Blair you petty bitch you are the problem.
That’s the first episode. We’ll see if I can tolerate this show for very long

What did you think about the Sephiroth and Rufus situation? I personally LOVED it. I had a feeling from the start that Glenn was actually Sephiroth, and when it was confirmed at the end it just made the Glenn scenes even better. Sephiroth has a huge grudge against Rufus that wasn’t in the original and I think it’s glorious, both because it was immensely entertaining and because it fleshed out their characters. Rufus was the only one this entire time who managed to get some kind of emotion out of Sephiroth and actually got under his skin, while Sephiroth read him like a freaking book (the infamous “pig headed, pathetic, daddy hating child” line. Side note: it would’ve been even funnier if it was said in Sephiroth’s voice and not Glenn’s. The idea of him saying “daddy” just tickles my funny bone.)
I think their dynamic is more interesting than Sephiroth and Cloud’s simply because they’re almost on equal footing- at least mentally- and while Sephiroth has the physical strength Rufus has his money and influence, and I was freaking out the entire time they showed up together.
Sorry for the long ask/rant, but hey, you did say to feel free to vent about our emotions 😅
I was kinda at a loss when Glenn first showed up, my husband and I were wayyy on the wrong track. I'm actually glad we were, I'm much happier that it was Sephiroth trying to keep Rufus out of his way, especially since Rufus catches on pretty quickly in the original. At least, he understands pretty promptly that Sephiroth is a more pressing problem than everything else.
The thing I can't quite figure out is whether this Glenn visual is being perpetrated by the Sephiroth we know or the Sephiroth who exists outside of time (I keep referring to him as Advent Children Sephiroth and original as Alpha Sephiroth). I think it MUST be AC Seph because he seems to be using every possible tack to buy himself (Alpha Seph) time. He even goes so far as to try and kill Tifa in the Lifestream, which was fucking SHOCKING...he's really doing his best to keep Aerith alive, Cloud in thrall, Rufus off his (and Avalanche's) back, and Tifa from being in a position to remind Cloud who he really is much later in Mideel.
And beneath this cut is wild theorizing that goes way beyond the scope of your message, omg. I blathered so much I decided it needed a cut!!
Sorry, this might all sound nutso since there are so many things happening at once. I think anytime you see Seph in-storyline it's a Reunion clone (iow, a fully thralled SOLDIER, etc). So far I think AC Seph is in Cloud's head and anytime you're between realities (Edge of Creation). Like, the fucked up Whispers are that indication that you're dealing with AC Seph and not Alpha Seph. A good example would be the Citadel (bear with me).
Aerith knows she has to pray for Holy and return to the Planet (die). But when the heroes arrive, they don't know her intent, so the white Whispers (deployed by the Planet in cooperation with Aerith), are already there beating back AC Seph's black Whispers, while also trying to keep Cloud & Co. from breaking through and rescuing her. The Sephiroth that falls from the sky and does the deed doesn't really matter...he's just a Reunion clone. Right? This is what I think, at least.
I have to go back and play through and pay closer attention to each of his individual arrivals to be sure, but it's what I've cooked up in my brain so far. AC Seph just talks to Cloud differently. It's an attempt to lead by filling him with rage that will make him act, instead of his previous tack of essentially ignoring him because he was too squid-brained-Jenova-pilled to pay any attention to little blonde boy what stabbed him to death, except to use him to gain the black materia (and hurt him as much as he could along the way). In the original game, Sephiroth was more interested in striking fear into Cloud, using him to do horrific things to his friends, calling him a puppet, etc. This backfires because Cloud is so terrified of what's inside him that he just...does not act. It's quite literally why Aerith is not saved, and why Cloud blames himself for her loss.
On the other hand, shiny new AC Seph is all, "don't you want to protect this beautiful Planet with me??" Whereas Alpha Seph is still more along the lines of, "I will ascend and devour this world like my Mother." AC Seph understands who he's talking to. And yet still doesn't understand the strength that person possesses...
ANYWAY, all of this hinges on the belief that AC Sephiroth is not interfering with the actions of Alpha Seph, or really that he can't, so he's thralling Cloud and pushing him to do his bidding, just like the original...except AC Seph already knows that he fucked up and has to fix what he broke. In his own words...he underestimated Cloud and company (for a second, or really THIRD time). I think Reunion is going to combine not just the wayward Jenova cells, but the timelines. Jenova isn't being replicated with each new world, but her genetic material still is. I think AC Seph ultimately wants to successfully summon Meteor, but he has to create a universe in which Aerith never returns to the Planet after praying, which would cripple Holy. He has to make sure Cloud stays in thrall, because he simply can't overpower him in any reality (this is why Tifa has go to go, in his mind). And lastly, he has to off himself at the Northern Crater. When Sephiroth says to Cloud "you have my blessing," obviously it was him urging Cloud to protect Aerith this time-to interject and stop him. I think it extends further, though. I think he wants Cloud to destroy him (original game Sephiroth, that is) so that only he (that new Seph) remains when Reunion is complete. Jury's out on whether he plans to permanently use Cloud as his vessel. I'm not sure about that one. We'll see.
Also, I'd say it was Cloud who gagged Sephiroth the most when he returned from a fractured timeline with the white materia and we got that miffed Sephiorth line, "Bad form..." 😂 Absolutely loved seeing that man rattled for a moment.
Thanks for the long message, actually. I should apologize for the long response!! In all honesty, I'm rusty on Ever Crisis and Before Crisis and First Soldier Stuff. I only ever read synopses of those things to keep up and so details often slip my mind. If I misspoke or overlooked something that somehow has background in those titles, I apologize.
COME. WILDLY THEORIZE WITH ME!!

okay now that i’ve done a little spring cleaning (nasty anons be gone) lucy/wyatt/flynn is SUCH a god tier ship. wyatt and flynn have such tension really they should kiss about it.
i love that their timeship is a fucking orb. like ⚪️ <- time for time travel
i love how this show is also a little educational. just a smidge. i def didn’t know about the hindenburg disaster prior to watching. but also i think about the abe lincoln ep a lot and how they had to prevent the prevention of his death like that’s such a funny concept like. no he’s gotta die actually you can’t be heroes
rufus and jiya are such underrated cuties imo, both individually and as a ship
god you’ve got me wanting to rewatch (<- has lowkey been wanting to rewatch for a while) it was just such a fun show!!!!!!
anyways. hope your day is going well 💖
-timeless anon (i guess i’m gonna take a signature)
thank you <333
i'm actually obsessed with the concept of wyatt/lucy/flynn, and yess flynn and wyatt have SO much tension and i can only imagine it gets better after season 1 (i'm still watching the s1 finale). and yeah the timeship is definitely different 😂 i'm way too used to the one on legends of tomorrow.
i actually did learn a couple of things i'd never known about US history from this show so far, so it's been really interesting in that regard! i'm such a huge nerd when it comes to history asjsjksd and YEAH rufus and jiya are the cutest omg and i'm actually in love with jiya, she's so pretty and smart and comepetent.
hope you have a great day too and lmk if you decide to rewatch!! <33

Newer headmates when it comes to masking is so funny, ‘cause either they literally just DONT mask or they do everything they can to mask and look dumb trying (/lh, ily guys❤️/p)
So, example. The Gang, trying to mask;
“WHY THE FUCK IS IT SNOWING? I FUCKING HATE THE SNOW.” “The snow is so pretty omg” “Guys we need to do our English work.” “whzt Enflish worhk ??” “a d b c l f g h j k m n l o p” “COCA COLA COCA COLA COCA COLA” “Could a horse love a man? SHOULD.. a horse, love a man..?” “Milk.”
Dabi “trying” to mask is just him being a cunt ; aka he does not mask.
I don’t even want to know what Bakugo masking looks like.
Rufus and Mateo will sometimes front for a solid 16+ minutes just to listen to/sing American Pie by Don McLean.

rewatch: gg edition
i really want to know that gossip girl’s budget was because they filmed in new york which is not cheap and i remember when jp spoke about gg going to france to film and paul was like W H A T.
LMAO remember when gossip girl blasted that serena was back in the city and right when the blast happened, dan and jenny walk into central station with dan NOT on his phone? is dan telekinetic?
dan’s hair is fucking stupid.
rufus don’t ask your children about the state of your marriage.
awww rihanna! if it’s lovin that you wanttttttttttt
lmao remember when blair had a different mother?
i never liked blair’s hair in these scenes.
oh nate, just so ... nate.
OMG JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE. WHAT GOES AROUND. jesus, i need to stop watching these old shows. when is a docu going to come out about him being terrible?
“visiting hours are over” “i’m family!” i’m pretty sure you still have to adhere to visiting hours.
“eric, i know i’ve been a terrible sister ... i’m so happy to see you!” that’s it? that’s the conversation?
I HATE HIS HAIR.
dan actually parents rufus.
i just find it SO funny that nate gets mad at chuck for sleeping with blair.
initiumseries’ favourite part of the entire series, chuck and nate taking the bus, the ONLY time we see them take the bus, just so they could meet dan.
“there is something wrong with that level of perfection, it needs to be violated” ew, chuck.
the narration is KILLING me. this is so dated but in the best way.
LMAO dan’s face when jenny just goes “hi, serena!” is hilarious.
nate’s disdain for blair is so pronounced, lmfao.
“maybe i should swipe some of my dad’s viagara, or my mom’s paxil?” i guess they didn’t know they’d kill chuck’s mom yet.
“you ever feel like our whole lives are planned out for us?” i mean they showed that briefly with the dartmouth conversation and they mentioned that he and blair had been together since kindergarten but no one shows the constraints of the ultra-wealthy like kdramas and their chaebol heirs.
blair is wearing too much makeup.
dan and jenny were actually kind of endearing in the beginning.
“i love it when you talk dirty” ohhhh i didn’t realize he said this to serena first, kinda diminishes the chair scene for me tbh.
“i’ve been drinking on an empty stomach” “heard you didn’t do that anymore” ok but how tho? because she JUST got back, it’s been a day or maybe two, she doesn’t have blair as a friend yet, she hasn’t been to any parties or events where we see her NOT be who she was before so where is this coming from?
*sees blair in lingerie* “wow.” nate, the only person who sounded less enthused is stefan when he told caroline he loved her, lmao this is terrible. 
ugh, chuck is terrible. the sexual assault we never talk about.
leighton does cry well.
OMG SERENA REMEMBERS DAN WHEN HE THOUGHT SHE WOULDN’T SHE IS SO DEEP AND THOUGHTFUL.
aww rufly! cute banter.
dan why would you wear that to a concert?
awww broody nate.
chuck is such a creep in this episode.
“or will c end up with another victim” lol k.
“serena van der woodsen ... oh, i dunno how i know that” lol peak parent.
“this is a date? maybe i should’ve worn my loafers” “HAHAHAHAHA” it’s not that funny, serena.
“what, better offer?” aww derena had their moments.
remember when dan went to look for jenny and then simultaneously sent a blast that serena showed up to the party?
i like how serena said she’d look for jenny and she’s just standing in one place.
“did you invite her?” “NO, GOD” nate, she has every reason to ask that question.
“you son of a---” i guess they couldn’t swear now.
dan, your sister was assaulted and you’re flirting with serena.
jenny gets assaulted but the ending is about serena saving her from being assaulted, lol k.

erika+ephriam+lyon for ask game 👀? and a witch hat character of your choosing if you like as well :3v
omg clint you're spoiling me :) also this is mostly unrelated but i was listening to kat flint today and a) her music is so good thank u for introducing it to me years ago and b) VERY witch hat atelier vibes which was fun. im putting my answers under a cut bc i am sooo verbose about characters
eirika: a song that reminds me of them: this is just the first that came to mind but oh what a world by rufus wainwright! oh what a world my parents gave me / always traveling but not in love. the rly interesting mix of idealism and pragmatism that she embodies- both being in awe of and in love with the world and the people in it but also not hesitating to accept that they are in a war and the tragedies that come with it what they smell like: i think for most of the game she smells like sweat and dirt an otp: eirika and l'arachel is actually the best ship in the whole entire world they're sooo funny. they keep meeting and every time eirika is like ???? and l'arachel is just falling head over heels in love a notp: eirika and lyon romance honestly very textually relevant in the game and adds to the story and whatever but they're both so absolutely homosexual that i can't conceptualize it favorite platonic/familial relationships: eirika and ephraim 🥺🥺 but also eirika and seth he's such a good big brother figure!! but also eirika and colm and eirika and tana and eirika and lyon. it's like.. rag tag army as family.. a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with: there are like two posts about her on tumblr dot com but her fire emblem heroes characterization makes me insane shut up about your brother shut up about your brother the position they sleep in: on her side one leg curled to her chest
ephraim a song that reminds me of them: omg lies by marina abt his relationship with lyon. you're too proud to say that you made a mistake / you're a coward till the end i really wish we had been able to see more of ephraims reaction to the true story of what happened with lyon, since he obviously forgives him but also seems to be angry about it and that's such a good dynamic. also oc can't let you go / i just want it to be perfect / to believe it's all been worth the fight. they make me... ugh what they smell like: he has also been living in tents for months so he probably also smells like horses and sweat an otp: ephraim and lyon do get to me... 🥺 also he and innes as a like teenage fling is hilarious to me they're so funny to each other i can't believe they don't have supports a notp: if i ever see another incest joke i'm killing someone favorite platonic/familial relationships: he and his sister are so good!! they're so siblings! a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with: again i have never rly interacted with the fe fandom but something from canon i disagree with is the assignment of the sun to him and the moon to his sister he is so obviously the lunar twin im furious abt this the position they sleep in: absolutely sprawled out. he takes up as much space as is given to him
lyon a song that reminds me of them: ache with me by against me just happened to be playing rn but it's very him. do you share the same sense of defeat / have you realized all the things you'll never be / ideals turn to resentment, open minds close up with cynicism / i've got no judgement for you / come on and ache with me. what they smell like: roses but in a fucked up revolutionary girl utena way like the roses symbolize something sinister an otp: lyon and ephraim.. admittedly lyon is kind of carrying why this ship is compelling with his tragic backstory but ephraim is such a boy so he's important too a notp: see eirika :/ favorite platonic/familial relationships: he and eirika and ephraim as a unit are so important to me they are so [unintelligible] a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with: i haven't rly seen this much but i guess any tendency to soft-boy him bc of his character design like this guy sucks a lot and he has a lot of flaws that almost ended the world :/ the position they sleep in: hugging a pillow
and for the wha character.. agott bc she's so girl :) a song that reminds me of them: pretty little things by the crane wives! but trust is now something i make people earn / so i'm not inclined to just give it away / to a pair of blue eyes with some nice things to say what they smell like: grass in the best way possible! an otp: she and coco are SO !! im in love with them. sasunaru dynamic but better in every way. all the panels of coco hugging or complimenting agott and agott blushing furiously are the new wonders of the world. shipping kids in media always feels a little weird but i think they're a rly cute like first crush dynamic a notp: i dont think she's been shipped with anyone else lol favorite platonic/familial relationships: agott and olruggio are rly interesting to me! i've probably just drawn lines between them because they're both grumpy but i could definitely see agott becoming for coco what olruggio is for qifrey and i love when children are friends with their adult narrative foil it's about helping the younger generation overcome the things that they couldn't! it's also about olruggio being able to connect with agott because they're both grumpy :) a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with: not a headcanon bc again the fandom is tiny but so much of her tag is ppl being mean to her about what she did in the second (?) volume like yeah that was mean but she's like 12! 12 year olds do fucked up stuff all the time they're still learning what interpersonal relationships are the position they sleep in: on her stomach clutching her pillow a crossover au i’d love to see them in: anything that would allow her to say swear words my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn: the like single panel where tetia is getting mad at her about not liking wearing costumes and it shows her dressed as a prince! she looks so good
djskflj i feel like i wrote a novel about each of them and tbh i do not know if u will make any sense out of it but thank u for sending this it was super fun to think about them for a while!!!

Supernatural s3
It’s so unfair that the season that has Ruby AND Bela is so short :(((. I was done with it waaaay too quickly, and now I’m speed running through s4 xD (which, like the first time around, is Strong Mixed Feelings territory).
-My girl Ruby!!!! I was so happy to have her back, I kept grinning like a loon every time she was on screen. It’s quite interesting watching the 1.0 and 2.0 versions so close to each other, instead of as they air. I have... Thoughts, on whether Ruby as a double agent was something planned or that they decided as they went, but that’s for the s4 post. s3!Ruby really doesn’t come across as one (“I don’t believe in the devil” oh I wish sometimes xD, I love my nonbelievers), imo, but the beauty of such a device is that you can rationalize anything she does as devious if you want to xD
And it goes without saying that I love her interactions with Sam. THIS SHIP ISTG. I love how immediately ~attuned to her he is lol, his present and instinctive concern for her even if he tries to mask his interest as “practical”. And all the repeated times Sam’s conflicted between her and Dean -like when he deviates Dean shot (wasting one of the Colt’s bullets lmfao) or during the argument about the virgin sacrifice xD. And the “that’s my boy”/ “little fallen angel on your shoulder” quotes!!! Ruby 1.0 deserved to be railed by Sam too, smh.
My favourite episode of hers is “Jus in Bello” (which would be my fave of the season just by virtue of having both Bela and Ruby in the same episode lol. Not interacting, of course, the world as we know it wouldn’t have survived). I just love that she gets that final moment of I TOLD YOU SO to the brothers xD. I really like how she expands on the demonic lore of the show- I love, LOVE the detail about how all demons used to be humans, how they’re souls corrupted in hell. And that in her past life she was a witch (there was this really good fic in Spanish fandom about it... I need to hunt it down).
BTW, though I think her interactions with Dean in that episode are interesting, it really hammers home how much I hate him sometimes xD. Can you stop saying misogynistic slurs for TWO GODDAMN MINUTES, DEAN (and as we know from as early as this season, only HE can have demon/monster friends!! What a fucking hypocrite xD). I freaking love the moment in the finale when she viciously yells him about how she wishes she could see him in hell lmao (and how it foreshadows that when she shows sympathy later, it’s actually Lilith in disguise lmfao). I hate Dean gets the last word in their dynamic, tbqh. Until the s15 cameo, at least xDD
One thing that’s been bothering me xD: the French fries. Demons are vulnerable to salt, like other spirits, right? (and hey, look what a nice piece of foreshadowing that was). How does that translate to food lol. Because Ruby adores French fries, and they obviously contain salt. It’s like spicy food for humans? Or like pineapple? Inquiring minds etc. xD
-I still cannot believe Bela Talbot was only on the show for six episodes lmao. Her presence still lingers in the watchers’ heads so much?? Which is understandable because she’s Lead Girl Material if there was ever any lol. The care with which they styled her even?? You don’t do that for just any character lmao (I mean, just look at most of SPN’s female characters for comparison xD).
Her ship with Dean could’ve really been something, too -even if I hate Dean in it, I can’t deny it packs a punch, narrative-wise. I mean, the Batcat undertones alone!! The fake married undercover shenanigans!! And I think it’s really interesting that she’s such a blind spot for him; Dean’s unusually intuitive about people, but with Bela he takes everything at face value and she can fool him like no other (while, OTOH, is Sam who questions her facade and wants to see more). If he hadn’t been such an idiot (and such an asshole) he could’ve had a really powerful ship. Sucks to be him lol.
Anyway. Man, I love her. So much. I love how Gordon’s threats to kill her don’t work on her, and I love that the show basically said “Bela killing her abusive parents is good, actually” (I’m so tired of forgiveness narratives, you guys. This entire show is founded on revenge, so let me get my revenge fantasies in peace!!) xDD. And I love, LOVE that she withheld that truth from Dean, that she decided he wasn’t worth it. OTOH, you know, fuck the fans that got her written out, definitely; but on the other, I do love how her story ended (and that it was a clear "fuck you" to shitty fans). Doesn’t stop me for wanting to read and re-read (and maybe write!) even more “Bela escapes hell” fix-its, but still.
Also, very important question: what happened to her cat?? It’s the cat alright?? I’m going to headcanon that she left them with that cougar friend of hers lol.
-So. THE DEAL. Okay. Oof. I love this storyline, a lot. A loooot. I love the conflict it creates between the brothers (as long as there’s still conflict and Sam hasn’t yet started taking everything lying down I can enjoy that part of their narrative lol). I love Dean’s initial forced giddiness about “making the most out of his last year” and I love the moment Dean decides he does want to try to live because it makes the last few episodes all the most desperate and cruel (and hey, I’ve heard he only went to hell because the season was cut short due to a writers’ strike... if that’s true that’s so funny lmao).
My absolutely favourite part however? That you can FEEL Dean’s unvoiced resentment towards Sam. For Dean having to die for him, even if Sam never asked him to. He lashes out to Sam repeatedly through the season, but it really came to ahead in the dreamspace episode, where Dean confronts another version of himself that talks about how Sam was “dotted on” (the revisionism asldfkaf). This show is absolutely ruthless when it comes to showing you its characters’ ugly, unfair reactions to things and it’s my favourite thing evah.
Speaking of the dreamspace episode, OMFG. I loved both brothers there. Dean’s hallucination, seeing himself as a demon? And how he let out his anger about John?? Beautiful, truly (regarding John, I also loved their different reactions when it looked like his spirit had contacted them: Dean jumping on it and Sam detached skepticism). But my favourite part has to be when Sam uses the villain’s abusive father against him. Like. Damn. That was cold-blooded o.0
The second-to-last episode, when Sam tracked down that Frankenstein doctor to try and make Dean immortal was ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING OMG. I loved that. I love that Sam wanted to use it for both them. It was some scary shit. I also love the scene where the crossroads demon questions whether Sam really wants to break the deal, I’m gathering it’s going to be nice foreshadowing later on in the show lol.
Anyway. I also found Dean’s death scene more impactful than Sam’s. Partially because of the horror of it, but mostly because I think at this type of scenes, Padalecki is better. Sam’s grief felt more real, Dean’s got me out of the scene (it’s the voice, I think. Sometimes Ackles’ voice takes me out of scenes, it sounds... forced).
I also really enjoyed how the time loop episode wrapped around this subplot. It managed to be both heartbreaking and mind-numbly hilarious lmfao. Like?? All the deaths?? Were so pathetic?? I tip my hat to Ackles because I don’t think most actors could carry plots like this half as well lmfao.
Sidenote, it’s always a trip to see The Trickster God knowing that fucker is Gabriel. Archangel “hey Mary do you accept God knocking you up” Gabriel. Which I guess isn’t exactly a thing in this show?? Since according to the wikia SPN Jesus was “just a man” (and let me tell you, I’m tickled pink by the fact that out of ALL mythological figures, specifically all CHRISTIAN mythological figures, the show decided to go “nah” on Jesus Christ. I mean, I guess he’d take away from Dean’s, Sam’s and Castiel’s resurrection narratives, but still. It’s so funny!!).
-Gordon Walker remains a superbly acted and fascinating character with extra racist nonsense alsdkfjasdf. But I can’t deny I loved seeing him as a vampire. He was terrifying. And I’m definitely shipping him with Kubrick, ouch xD
-The Ghostfacers episode is... something. As in, incredibly exploitative and homophobic and with an egregious case of BYG (and the first where I’d say it’s incontestable to claim the trope was used. s1 and s2 are muddy territory given the circumstances, IMO, but this one is 300% BYG), but so successfully manipulative my heart hurt for Corbett and Corbett x Ed still. Fuck them for that ngl. I do still enjoy how anti-Winchesters they all are though xD
-3x01 introduces the one nice marriage of hunters so far, between a black couple. The man dies in a gross, horrifying way within the episode ofc (because he was Mean to the the brothers duh). She makes it out alive, and since she doesn’t reappear in the show she gets to live. So for now black women have a sliiiiiightly better track record in SPN than track guys there: they get to appear in a few more episodes and be more fleshed out (Victor, Gordon), but as long as they’re only in one episode they get to live!! (Cassie, Tamara).
-Rufus and Bobby are exes, right? Right?? Probably still married in some state? You know that post about how when gay marriage was legalized across the USA there were a lot of issues because some couples had split and never bothered to divorce, since it was only legal in one place? That post was made for them. Pity Rufus is a black man, and as such has a limited number of allowed appearances before he’s killed off ¬¬
-I would’ve enjoyed Dean’s moments with Lisa and Ben more (it’s just so RIGHT that in this moment he’d want Ben to be his) if my knowledge of future spoilers didn’t perpetually have me in a state of “pls keep this guy away from kids” lol.
-They had Harmony’s actress (BTVS) and they made her a vampire!! The show’s hard on for the Buffyverse is a bit of a hit and miss but I can’t say I don’t relate xDD.
-I know Jensen Ackles can sing (in fact thanks to youtube I know a few of the actors can... is there a musical episode. Does this show have its own OMWF. I need to know). So why. WHY. Does he sound like that during “Dead or Alive”??? I actually like the scene but he sounds so off-key lmao.
-BTW, I found out that apparently Katie Cassidy and Lauren Cohan originally auditioned for each other’s roles añslkdfjasf. I can’t picture it. Ruby 1.0 is Ruby 1.0 and Bela is Bela xD. Although I’ve seen each playing roles that could meld with the other, just. Nope. Good choice on the casting there lol.

Kim Possible season 3 recap
And here is part 3 of my KP marathon notes. Obligatory thanks to @fereality-indy for encouraging me to watch this awesome show. 
So, what will happen this this time? Will Kim Possible save another kitten from a tree? Will Ron discover something better than nachos? Will Doctor Drakken release the Krakken? Will Shego puncture her ego? Will Lord Monkeyfist buy Club Banana just because he is bonkers? Will Duff Killigan finally score?
So, let’s see what’s the first big problem KP has to deal with!
Kim being alone on a Friday evening. Okay.
Also, amusingly, everyone is doing something on a Friday evening, including the villians. 
Motorhead turns out to be Drakken’s cousin. okay.
And people know the address of Draken’s lair bc of mailing list
See, it’s the little touches like those that make this show a very accurate portrayal of superheroes and villians. 
KP gets jealous of Ron’s friend in wheelchair because they spend too much time together playing video games, so she has to find a way to “fit in”.
Okay, so they can approach it in a sensible and subtle, or so-cringe-worthy-and-painful-the-skip-button-presses-itself way.
So, which did they choose?
Tumblr media
painful it is
Few stupid scenes later, Draken STEALs THE WHEELCHAIR FROM A DISABLED KID
shego: what’s next, stealing lolipop from a baby?
and there is a brilliant running joke about it
is it ableist to say that a joke about disabled person is “running”? Well, this is tumblr you gotta be carfeul
Anyway, turns out that Drakken and Jake the Dog make an actual competent combo, even though they end up in prison. And momma Lipski is still clueless about her son’s profession
Next ep: KIM CHANGED HER HAIR! and she looks cute
Tumblr media
Ron is a pickle, but that’s normal
Draken and shego steal moodulators (get it?) from random scientist #464
Shego: if you are so smart why do you always steal instead of inventing things yourself
Draken: it’s called outsourcing, shego
God d amit, that is a smart show. 
And of course moodultaors accidentally fall on KP and SHego, so they act random throughout the day. And boy it is weird when it’s set to loveskick
Shego: steals lolipop from a baby for Drakken because she luvs him
KP turns into  a proper stalker mode for her Ronnie
And Monique is completely fine with it. 
and then kim KISSED him!!!
Tumblr media
OMG NOSEBLEED
And then poor Ron has no idea what to do with dating KP so suddenly, and the whole scene where he debates what to do is absolute gold with a punchline that defies expectations. 
Draken and Shego go on a date and boy it is weird. SHE CATWALKS TO HIM
I can already see Disney censors thinking when it’s going to be too much for The Mouse
and kim’s dad threatens to send ron to a black hole when he takes her on a date
Also the random professor wants to sell his no-longer-existent moodulaTors on auction and he thinks about blaming it on the mail. You know, i’ve seen some approaches how to handle a world where superheroes/villians/geniuses live in our society (like in BNHA, for example), but KP so far makes it the best approach, because it makes them so relatable. 
And boy the finale is satisfying because everything completely backfires
Shego and KP got stuck in an anGry mode, and chase their boys. Ron tries to hide in the same place as drakken
Drakken: Dibs!
Ron: Double dibs!
Drakken: all right, you won with your superior dib-calling (ACTUAL QUOTE)
And the day is saved thanks to the power of friendship and not that Kp and ron are definitely in love with each other
KP, Ron, Drakken and Shego somehow manage to get into Tv, where they visit parodies of famous shows
Honestly, meh. I remember a similar episode of Teen Titans, that one was funny as heck.
and then we find out who’s the real villian of the middleton high: THE SCARY LIBRARIAN!
And turns out Ron accidentally put a book Kim rented in his backpack, causing her to get into trouble doing library duties. 
So he goes on a mission to revisit all of the bad guys they fought to see where he might have left it
Okay: calling it now, it’s still in his backpack
Shego: Where’s Possible?
Ron: She’s not my girlfriend!
Shego: Never said she was. 
And Ron accidentally saves the world on that book hunt
Lord Monkey:Ron Stoppable!
Ron: You’re the only one, who remembers my name, I respect that
Okay, so Wade can make stuff invisible. Like, how?
And there we go: the book it was in his backpack all the time. 
Tumblr media
Oh, and Ron takes a book from Lord Monkeymonkey contaning a spirit of a monkey demon.
And he returns to the library, saving Kim from being bored to death by retunring the book. 
GUESS WHICH ONE HE RETURNED.
Oh, it was another half-episode. Weird. 
And the next one is about giant bugs. Interesting how Kim tells Ron not to be afraid of bugs, and next moment she’s all squirmish while Ron befriends a giant roach and calls him Roachie. 
KP: Ron, did you start working on the project? it was supposed to be autobiographical
ron: No, I’m waiting for it to write itself.
WE MIGHT GET RUFUS’ BACKSTORY!
Oh, and Drakken tried to take over the world with shampoo. Honestly, it’s funny as heck
he tries smarty mart to sell it
he even makes loreal-style ad, but it doesn’t sell
so he tries product placement in a hip hop song, and the artists is like “Aw, hell no”
And then 
and then
turns out that Shego and Drakken are having karaoke night every friday.
God dammit, i don’t know why but that is beyond funny
and turns out that Drakken can sing. 
and shego points out that he could sing about the shampoo
so he goes to an american idol
And I think I realise what really makes it funny: Kp is barely in this episode, helping ron with homework. No evil-doing is actually done, we only get to see, for the most part what goes behind the scenes of an evil plan that is so insanely and unnecessary convoluted it is beyond belief. 
OH, AND kp GETS TO RIVAL HIM ON STAGE, OF COURSE.
people hypnotised by the shampoo so far: one (1) random henchman
one (1) old TV producer in a sauna 
one (1) Simon Cowell
And...holy shit, his song is actually good. 
And instead of KP, who is busy fighting the mean lean green machine, Ron sings about Rufus. The song is titled “Naked Mole Rap”. And it is FREAKING PHENOMENAL.
Oh, add one (1) Shego to the list. 
Okay, so far that is the most crazy episode. Like, seriously, the quality was through the roof.
SCRATCH THAT NEXT EP is EVEN WEIRDER
So, the Team Impossible, which we have learned about in the movie, is angry at KP for saving the world for free, whereas they actually charge people for it. 
And they try to cut Kim from all of her world-traveling assets and knock her out of competition.
THAT IS FUCKING V ILE
And they hack Wade
AND TURNS OUT YOU DON’T FUCK WITH WADE
YOU DON’T CUT THEIR INTERNET CABLES OF A NERD
SINCE THIS IS ONE WAY TO MAKE AN OBESE SUPER GENIOUS  WALK OUT OF THEIR ROOM
AND HE LOOKS SO FREAKING BAD-ASS WHEN HE STORMS INTO THEIR HEADQUATERS
aaand TI is defeated the same way they would have been defeated had they answered the call. 
Pretty funny, and it does go into the details of how on Earth superheroes work in this world. 
And we have another episode about the secret ninja high school Ron was sent to 
And Yori travels to US for Ron 
And Kim is super jelaus
Wade: Kim, you are jelly
Kim: So not
Monique: You are jelly 
Kim: So not
Kim: *is jelly*
So she pretty much stalks Ron all the way to the school, and nearly fails the mission of trying to save the levitating magical jedi principal. Seriously, he’s OP as fuck.
And he’s escaping from a huge monkey. turns out it’s crazy dna lady who turned herself  into monkey for Lord Britishmonkey. 
Next episode is bascially one huge satire on the movie industry, down to the title (”and The mole rat will be CGI”). KIm and Ron accidentally crash a movie set, after Senior Senior Junior crashes it first since he accidentally applied for a role of a henchman in said movie. 
It was supposed to be set in Britian, but the movie set was in New Zealand, since “it was cheaper”
And I was like 
Is that a “Lord of The rings” joke? Someone tell me if I’m right.
Oh, and we have another long episode WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS ANOTHER MOVIE?
And it looks like it’s a three-part episode again, I wonder if the formula’s gonna work again. 
The beginning feels like a short promo scene for people who might not know what KP is about, and I’m not gonna lie, this sums it up perfectly. Action, drama, explosions, more drama, goofy ron, naked mole rat kicking ass and more drama. By the way, what;s the title? 
Tumblr media
I guess the intro is an homage to the James Bond ones, with lots of colourful, surreal visuals floating in the background to the soothing, slow music. Love it, too bad it’s short, but again, it had to fit an episode’s running time.
 wait so the Nakasumi president CAN speak English? Even the movie calls him wacky for whispering all the time as if he couldn’t. 
Okay, now the movie just fucks with us. 
mr and mrs possible almost switch their cloaks with important documents, but she switches them back just at the last moment
mr posible ALMOST deletes his work file worth three billion dollars but undos it at the last moment.
it’s like the plot TRIES to start itself
Tumblr media
And I bet the key is under the doormat
So the dating drama IS going to be the theme of the movie, huh. 
Wade: Drakken has been spotted in the Bermuda triangle
Bermuda triangle: *turns out to be a hotel*
And Ron just happened to have his suit under the scuba diving gear.
Shego proves to be once again, way more competent than Drakken.
and we have obligatory fight between two kickass ladies in dresses and high heels. This IS a James Bond movie. 
So, the prom drama continues, and it is sadly kinda goes into the cringe territory, with some new dude falling in love with Kim and Kim falling for him, Ron feeling sad, they both being conflicted, yep, seen it. 
But for once Drakken helps the cause and moves the plot forward, stealing some super project from dr Possible.
he deletes the file like he did in the opening, but GASP drakken has some mind reading machine
I do wonder if the coat switcheroo is going to be part of the plot. 
Holy shit
Drakken’s plan is so crazy that it actually makes sense. Take over the buneo nachos and put kiddy meals in it with robot toys that take over the world. And neither kim nor Shego could have forseen it. 
And more prom drama. Ugh. 
I always like when Possible family work together to stop the evil-doers.
So Drakken’s plan was brilliant, minus the part when the entire army of robots shuts down when the signal goes off-line. Kinda a major fuck-up. 
And they kindapped Kim’s boyfriend to lure her.  
OH, SO HE WAS A SYNTH ROBOT
I genuinely didn’t see that coming. 
Drakken learns Ron’s name, yeah! And it’s shot like Drakken’s yelling a curse to the skies, love it. 
Tumblr media
Also, HOLY SHIT, Kim kicks Shego into the tower so hard it looks like she was about to kill her. Like, that was genuinely chilling moment, especially with an ominous, lightning-filled close-up onto her later.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spoiler: she didn’t die. 
Okay, colour me confused: I didn’t think that Kim and Ron were going to kiss and start dating now, I thought this movie was going to be one huge prequel to a movie by the end of S4. Or more precisely, it feels weird NOW, knowing that there is a whole season ahead of me. Cos that felt like a pretty good end of a series, something akin to the Last Airbender one, so I’m slightly concerned how it’s going to be played into season 4, cos this can go haywire pretty easily. 
Tumblr media
Uh, not going to lie, I’ve got mixed feelings about the movie. On one hand, it gave us a proper evil plan from Drakken, one that attacks Kim psychologically, showing that for once, he DID his homework and actually studied Kim’s behaviour. On the other, the prom/dating drama is kinda painful to watch, but fortunately gets resolved in the end. Maybe it’s just me, but I had the same expression as Rufus when he and Ron said that guys don’t talk about feelings. It felt kinda clumsy and not subtle at all, and what’s worse, the show itself did way better job of portraying romance in previous episodes, most notably the moodulator one. But as I said, those last few scenes with Ron and Kim fighting together does make up for it. 
also, Rufus once again is the unspoken hero. He did so freaking much, including, but not limited to: saving ron from the tentacle monster, freeing kim and ron, defeating the synth boyfriend, pushing Kim and Ron together... He really is a badass.    
So, not a bad one, though I preferred the first movie. Also, on the whole Season 3 was significantly shorter than second. Wonder what’s gonna happen in the next season.

Season 6 Episode 12: Like a Virgin
Touched by the very first tiiiiiime!!!! Okay, last episode of the day. I am super curious about how Sam is going to be feeling and acting now that his soul is back. 
- Man, I would not want to be her on that tiny plane in the middle of that kind of thunderstorm. With some sort of monster near her because what she saw was most definitely not a bird. Holy shit! And now Stan the pilot is gone! 
- Oooh, Sam’s in a coma? OMG. “What was I supposed to do? Let T-1000 walk around, hope he doesn’t open fire?” Awwwwh!!! SAMMY!!! “Let me tell you what his soul felt like when I touched it. Like it had been skinned alive, Dean. If you wanted to kill your brother, you should have done it outright.” Ouch. 
- Sam’s awake!! Awwwwwwh!!!! THE PUPPY DOG EYES ARE BACK!!! THE HUG!!!! WOAH!!! I WAS WONDERING!!!! SAM DOESN’T REMEMBER ANYTHING OF THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF!!! OH SHIT! DEAN’S NOT GONNA TELL HIM AT ALL THAT HIS BODY’S BEEN TOP-SIDE FOR A YEAR AND A HALF! SHIT! WHEN THAT DAMN BREAKS HE’S GONNA HAVE TO DEA WITH BOTH HIS MEMORIES OF HELL AND HIS MEMORIES OF WHAT “HE DID” WHEN HE DIDN’T HAVE A SOUL!
- “Why the poopface.” LOL! Hahaha! Bobby’s right. “He’s gonna find out, you know. One way or another, someone will tell him or he’ll figure it out on his own. He’s not dumb. He should hear it from us.” “Can we just leave it alone for the moment, please?” “Okay. But you better prep for the B side, cause when Sam realizes we’re shining him... It ain’t gonna be cute.”
- Oooo... Bobby doesn’t want to be near Sam cause of what RoboSam did :( Making up some dumb awful excuse that he promised Rufus he’d work the phones. Such BS. “What was that?” “One part age, three parts liquor.”
- Oh! Well, at least he’s telling Sam part of the truth. That he was with Lisa and Ben for a year. Hehehehe. Soulful eyes Sam is just so much better than RoboSam at getting people to open up and agree to answer questions. Dean looks so satisfied with life right now, with Sam being himself. HAHAHA!! Dean stole the girl’s diary and Sam, all incensed “Did you steal that from her room?” “I love that you even ask me that.” “And why wouldn’t I?”
- Oh. Girl didn’t get taken? Ah, she wasn’t a virgin, even if she doesn’t count Matt Barne. Hehehehe, oh god. “So what? You think Batman tried to rape her?” “He does carry a lot of rage.” HAHAHAAH!!!! “What likes virgins and gold?” “P. Diddy?” That’s hilarious. “You know, it’s comforting.” “What’s that?” “I died for a year, came back, and you’re still not funny.” “Shut up. I’m hilarious.”
- DRAGONS??? “They’re not like the Loch Ness monster, Dean. Dragons aren’t real.” SO NESSIE IS REAL?? “Can you make a few calls?” “To who? Hogwarts?” LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!
- Uh huh. Sam had a moment where he remembered hunting a skinwalker! You can’t keep it from him forever, Dean. And the longer you drag it out, the worse it’ll be. Have you learned nothing?? Oh Dean, getting to call your little brother a nerd. Bet you just love that.
- Well... Sewers, caves... I suppose in the modern era they’re the same thing. 
- So, Bobby let her go, huh? I like that she doesn’t question that they’re hunters. Likely because of Bobby. And Excalibur is real?? And she has a sword forged in dragon’s blood in the basement??? Nice! The sword of Bruncvik. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!! I LOVE THE DRAMATIC MUSIC AS DEAN IS ABOUT TO TRY TO PULL IT!!! He’s not gonna be able to pull it. It wouldn’t be any fun if he could. Dean looks like he’s about to pull something trying to get that sword out. And Visyak looks MIGHTY amused by his attempt to pull the sword out.
- Awh. Cass showed up when Sam called him. AWWWWWH!!!! CASS WAS GONNA HUG HIM AND SAM JUST DODGED THAT! “Uh, look, I would hug you but--” “That would be awkward.” Haha. Sam is gonna trick Cass into spilling the beans, I bet. Yep, telling him that Bobby just told him everything that happened. And there it is. “So, how does it feel?” “What?” “To have your soul back, of course.” Awwwwwwh!!!!! Sam is about to cry there. I mean, who can blame him. Finding out that you’ve been walking around with no soul. 
- Is Dean going to jack hammer the sword out of the stone? Because that’s what I would do. OH GOD IT’S WORSE! HE’S GOING TO BLOW IT UP! “You rocks thing you’re so smart.” HE DONE BROKE IT! 
- OMG! YOU FUCKING IDJITS! CAN YOU PLEASE SKIP THE PART WHERE YOU DON’T TALK TO EACH OTHER AND IGNORE THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM???
- Dean just took a bunch of the Dragon’s gold stash. LOL! He’s pawn that off and get himself some cash.
- Dragon is there! And at least the sword’s remains work! “Where did you get that?” “Comic-con.” Good job Dean! You already lost the fucking sword! Freaking get Gigantor to get the sword! He’s got longer arms than you! Wait! There are two of them?? See! Told you Sam would be able to reach it! 
- LOL! “Hey, Sam, ask me what time it is.” “Why don’t you just cut to the chase and just roll in it?” “Hey. I rarely have wealth.” Well, at least Sam cut to the real chase and told Dean that he knows. And that now he has to make amends because even though he doesn’t remember, he feels like he burnt the whole city and has the “zippo in his pocket.” Poor Sammy. Poking at this is scratching the wall, and Death told you not to do it.
- THE BOOK THEY FOUND DESCRIBES PURGATORY!!!! WELL SHIT! THE DRAGONS ARE GONNA OPEN UP THE DOOR TO PURGATORY???
WELL SHIT!!! MOTHER IS OUT!!! Mother of all beasties, I bet. That is... not good.

Clothes Minded 
Shego kicks Ron into a wall within the first 30 seconds.
“We haven’t stolen a darn thing.” “I’ve stolen the darn thing, Shego. Let’s go.”
In the fight with Shego, Kim’s pants get caught on the stairs and she loses a good part of the pant leg. And it’s a nice ragged tear too. 
“That’s what happens when you buy off the rack.” “I stick with what works.” “Yeah. Season after season after season.” Hehe. The show is calling itself out.
Kim’s over the green haha. 
Shego has the steam hit Kim and we don’t see her and then we see her and for some reason, Kim and Ron are in the operating room with Anne, not at all scrubbed up. GET OUT OF THE OR. 
Also Kim is in a bathrobe. 
Did Kim get any steam burns?
Kim’s mission clothes have been discontinued by Club Banana. Whoops. Even the Smarty Mart knockoffs! Time to start mourning Kim’s classic mission outfit. 
Wade searched 14,000 online retailers for the mission outfit. No dice. How can a black turtleneck crop top NOT EXIST ANYWHERE?? And forest green cargo pants? SIGH.
The battlesuit is being a pain in the ass. Wade couldn’t find the damn thing for 2 hours the previous night. Fuck that thing.
Barkin is right on Kim’s case about her college admissions appt w/ her guidance counselor. Are you her secretary? Nope just her actual guidance counselor. Her previous gc switched careers to professional shrimping. Okay.
Somehow, Kim Possible, in her senior year, hasn’t started any of the stuff she should start in terms of college related things. AM I GLAD THAT’S  BEHIND ME. I was in college (1st year!) when this episode aired. Barkin yells at her. 
Drakken is building a university called International Continental University. That’s a fake-ass school if I ever heard one. It’s like those ones like University of Phoenix and what are the others called? You know what I mean.
It’s actually a SUPER LAIR.
And he has a machine that basically does things to the continents.
HE COMMITTED FRAUD. HE PUT COLLEGE NOT LAIR ON THE GRANT APP AND THE GOVT IS PAYING FOR IT.
Kim’s looking at college paperwork and her mom is in the room doing laundry.
Anne wants her to go to the University of Upperton. And it’s lovely pre-med. HEY, STOP THAT. LET HER CHOOSE WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO.
James gives her a bulky mission outfit that’s more suitable for a spacewalk.
HE THROWS A FOOTBALL AT HER IN THE THING AND PUSHES OUT A THING BLOCKING THE FOOTBALL. JAMES THREW A FOOTBALL AT HIS DAUGHTER. 
There’s a Middleton Magnetic Institute. Kim didn’t know there was one.
Ron gets stuck to the magnet while Kim attempts to fight Shego in this awful outfit.
Monique’s in Kim’s room and she wants to help with the mission outfit. TAKE THE HELP. She clearly knows what she’s talking about.
Anne got Kim a personal interview with the Dean of her alma mater. But she has to take a Kimmunicator call.
Middleton Geological Center. Nice.
Kim driving her car looks great in this scene.
Kim has to deal with Wade and the twins trying to talk to her at the same time. 
The twins gave her a mission outfit. It’s... a mecha? Sort of? 
It makes Drakken and Shego laugh and Shego wants to know where the Fashion Police are. They were in that other episode and that would be so annoying if they showed up for that.
BN scene. Kim’s eating salads. They discuss the clothes thing. Kim calls it mission clothes mojo. Ron’s like that’s not what makes you you and she’s like “Aw, I think I’ll keep you around.”
Kim is frustrated by this whole thing. Poor baby. College admissions vs. mission outfit. 
Ron and Kim go shopping. 
RON LIKES KIM IN A BLONDE WIG. UH. 
Kim visits the Fashionistas in prison (from Fashion Victim) and tries to get help. They design her a mission outfit and Kim loves it. So funny that villains get a say in her “signature mission outfit”. But they try to get her to break them out of prison. HAH. NOPE. One of the Fashionistas destroys the design.
James went to MIST: Middleton Institute of Science and Technology.
Kim’s so annoyed that Barkin’s nagging her.
No college is interested in Ron. 
ALSO THEY’RE ALONE IN HER BEDROOM. IDK why I did that. 
Cuffed jeans. “How over?” “I think I was 12.”
Rufus suddenly leaves. He has plans. idk why I laughed about that.
Ron pouts because he’s “in a funk” and Kim’s like “Bueno Nacho later?” and he’s like “I think I’ll keep you around.” This is less charming than Kim’s because it more or less comes off like HE WAS fishing for her to do something nice for him.
Kim’s touring MIST with her dad and apparently 30 yards away Drakken and Shego are stealing shit. Wade has shenanigans with the fucking battlesuit.
Kim tries that RF-78 as a mission outfit. It’s not great. Kim bounces off the walls. It makes Shego nauseous. “She’s making me more nauseous than usual.”
Ron goes to International Continental University. He gets captured.
Kim’s bummed about the mission outfit sitch.
Drakken is waiting by the door with a baseball bat.
Drakken wants to move the continents. Um. That’s gonna cause tsunamis and shit.
Drakken thinks there would be one time zone. No.
“Oh, good. The next time I’m in Miami, I can walk next door to Morocco and buy a carpet.”
Rufus and Monique team up.
Kim realizes Ron’s been a no show.
Ron points out to Drakken that Pangaea was a thing a long time ago.  
He decides to call his super continent Drakkengaea bc ofc
Ron’s phone is on vibrate and its making him giggle and he’s like “KP, stop calling.” I like that he KNOWS ITS HER. 
Shego answers the phone: “Hey, Kimmy, your boyfriend says not to call him anymore” before hanging up. OMG.
Kim and Wade use the phone to trace where Ron is.
“Good. Glad you’re not letting your fashion disaster take your head out of the game.” “Not when Ron needs me. Mission gear or no mission gear.” CLUTCHES CHEST. 
But Monique and Rufus come with the new mission outfit. It’s purple and black. Short sleeves, but no crop top. It’s not bad. It’s def a little more professional than showing her midriff.
SHEGO EVEN LIKES IT.
The machine is doing the merging continents thing. That big ferris wheel in London goes off its hinges. Whoops.
Drakken did not build the building to seismic standards. WHOOPS.
D&S get out of the building. K&R stuck. But grappling hook. Kim grabs Ron by the waist and they go. Machine breaks.
Kim and Ron run and they hang from a beam.
Montage about college stuff.
Ron applied to a shit ton of colleges. Kim applied to a couple of colleges in Hong Kong, London, and Venice. 
“It’s a small world. I know, I’ve saved it over and over.” CLUTCHES CHEST.
The Fashionistas in the tag bribe a guard. Also Kim’s new mission clothes is their design. UM. YIKES.

Hii!! Do you have any tips for people who want to major in classics (latin specifically) in college? (I plan on majoring in French and Classics.) Thanks!!
omg that’s so nice??!! i’m currently studying italian iiterature (because i’m italian), french language + literature and latin literature so i feel like i’m super titrated to help you!! Let’s see what i can do:
this may sounds stupid but: never !!!! understimate !!! prosody !! i’ve been studying latin for the last six years and i’ve spen four of them (when i was in high school) ignoring this was a fact: by the time i started university i’ve realized how important it was and i had to  cram to learn it! Prosody is v important because you need to deal with it when you read texts and i’m assuming you’re gonna read tons of poems!! also, learning it is fundamental becase you get to know how to read words, which, sometimes, is harder than you think
get rid of your dictionary. Of course, not litterally. Anyway you have to emancipate yourself: we all know latin is a dead language but, as you’re learning it, vocabulary is important. It took me years to learn it: i thought it was useless because, honestly, you don’t get out of the house speaking latin to your friends or to shop assistances. Anyway, this year, i manage to do this and i swear learning words helped me a lot. A smart way to do it is trying to guess the meaning of words you don’t know as you have translated the whole sentence except for that very word. 
get yourself ready for: translations. In my opinion, translating is very funny but, again, it took me years to have fun with it. At the very beginning may be totally demoralizing: you may come up with 0-meaning sentences but, hey: it’s so ok!! 
never understimate fucking paradigms. We all latinists have them but we have no other chance because 1) lecturers love them 2) it’s a boring way to learn new words/meanings. My advice is to buy a notebook and to write down paragims so you can check them everytime you need to. The first times are gonna be hard and boring but i promise it gets better because, at a certain point, you keep find the same verbs over and over ;)
get yourself ready for: the Strangest Morphemes ™ as you translate poems and don’t get scared. The first times is gonna be - again - hard but then everything will get easier
TRANSLATE !! AS !! MUCH !! AS !! YOU !! CAN !! honestly, the only way to learn latin is translating it - it’s just like math, you have to do exercises. Last semester i spent 3 months translating and i swear to god i got so much better at it!! The very beginning was annoying and demoralizing but then i got nice marks, i realized that i was actually pretty good and it was totally satisfying.
here some examples of the easiest writers to start with, at least in my : the christian ones, phaedrus, curtius rufus, (sometimes) caesar, eutropius
but actually, the most important thing is: have fun. Latin is so nice and funny and it would be a sin not the have a good time with it

cROWLEY! C R O W L EY !? C R O W LE Y!!
aW DEAN
THEY JUST FORCED HIM TO SAY SHIT LMAO
THEIR REACTIONS TO CHUCK’S EMBARASSING STORIES LMAOOOO
1 the good fan portrayals! look..yeah ok there was some stuff that was weird, we weren’t supposed to see them as like..the Ideal. but the whole thing of like…family that cares about you and that you care about and saving the world? they did understand that part of the appeal at least, they were just wrong about their target audience. The majority was sad teens, but…I think…I think they had the right vague Idea. It wasn’t AS unsympathetic as I thought.
2. the bad whatever the FUCK they were doing with Becky. Like…oh wow. Some of the convention stuff was clearly made to be mocking. Actually a lot of it. I’m honestly surprised at ANY good. Jesus that was cringe for like 80%. Like I’m glad in the end it…tried, but OUCH it was…Listen I get it wasn’t your target demo but you still have fans guys for FUCK’S SAKE
3. the reactions listen…Sam’s lil “ah yeah this is kinda funny in places, we can make this work, I can hide it” vs Dean’s “WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE”…like idk Sam at least feels like someone who has let himself be weird and nerdy, Dean hasn’t, so he knows the vibe. Also I feel like Dean hates himself and his life a lot more than Sam does, regardless of how much they pretend it’s the other way. Like it reads as everything Dean wanted not to be, or was told not to be, and like…yeah ok there’s a metaphor in there. Whereas Sam the Protagonist is just kinda more chill. Also that one scene at the end was unironically funny(no chuck abort was very good)
4. the meta/self congratulatory ok as far as meta: they did take advantage of the fact that we the audience know shit the characters don’t to like…actually find the colt! like that was a very good use of meta! using the lady as the matron was also good use of meta! and yeah it’s self congratulatory(nerdy underdog niceguy writer gets the girl that’s a fan of his work)(hey if chuck’s a stand in that’s really fucked up guys) but that scene with Chuck was actually cool, and yknow…he’s not that bad right now. I know he will be, but he’s just kinda fun and funny
5. actually really good set up and payoff this episode like the shot glasses, the lady, the “they all think it’s a joke” hell even the fucking colt and bela and crowley. I just thought it was neat
6 hbo supernatural. Ok so…every single thing that was a bit Lighthearted ended up dark and vice versa. I think that they’re straddling this line a lil bit here, because they clearly wanna tell darker stories, but the CW is forcing them to stay peppy and they’re…not fantastic at integrating it. Like changing channels has two COMPLETELY separate vibes. I think that actually the curious case did it better, but both are good. Once again, the straining against circumstances that makes this fucking show so compelling, even if it’s not good
7 BELAAAA FINALLY A NAMEDROPPPP!! YES THAT'S ALL IT WAS BUT I MISS HERRRR
and that was our meta section of the season peeps!
