melissa schemmenti x reader

pure fluff, kissing, slightly suggestive comments

a/n - based on the ep of the same name because firefighter obsessed melissa is the cutest thing on the planet - wrote this as i rewatched it so hopefully it's not poopoo caca | wc: 1.5k

Maybe you shouldn’t be this smiley following a fire in the break room. It should probably be your main focus. But knowing that there’s a fire truck just outside the school has you buzzing with excitement. And seeing an equally as excited Melissa Schemmenti as you lead your class in a single file down the hallway just made you smile even more. 

“Mel, do you think there’s a chance you could use your skill of persuasion to get me a turn in the truck?” you asked her, smiling so innocently that she couldn’t help but mentally swoon. 

“Right ahead of ya,” she returned before turning to her kids who were waiting to be let back into class. “Okay, now, everyone drop your bags. Zip those coats back up - we’re going on an excursion.”

“What’s an excursion?” one of them questioned. 

“That’s where youse all work those puppy dog eyes to get the firefighters to let us play on the truck,” she answered, loving how you practically bounced your way outside beside her, two rows of children in tow. “I always wanted to be a firefighter - I didn’t realise you were into it all too.”

“Well, I’m not, exactly,” you began, slightly embarrassed at your real reason for rushing outside. “I’ve just always wanted one of those helmets. And to sit in a truck. And maybe put the sirens on.”

Melissa couldn’t help the way her smile seemed impossible to dampen, she stood opposite you as you held the doors open for the kids to follow you outside. She didn’t walk off without leaning in so closely you could smell her perfume though, with her breath against your cheek in a way that made your cheeks set alight. 

“You in a firefighter uniform? I’d definitely buy that calendar.”

You accepted your infatuation with the older woman a while ago, as she had with you. But you both had your fears, dancing on that line between friends and lovers, at a stalemate waiting for the other to make a move.

“See, this is why I love fire trucks. I get older, they stay the same,” she mused, looking at the vehicle. “Nothing beats fire engine red.”

You’re sure she looked at you as she spoke, though you couldn’t return the gaze, too flustered by her as always. The way her jeans made your imagination run wild, how she had the most adorable ramblings for her interest. And, of course, you knew the statement was true. Fire engine red truly was sublime. 

It seemed to only be the pair of you to find amusement in the loud blare from the horn when she pressed it but with a shared bubble of laughter, you couldn’t care less about looking ‘uncool’ in front of the kids. 

“Want a go?” Melissa asked, laughing at your eagerness as you nodded and took her outstretched hand. 

“As if I’d say no,” you answered, feeling bashful when she pulled you onto her lap. She’d claim there was nowhere else for you to sit, that sliding over to the driver’s seat would be too much hassle. She wouldn’t mention the smirk she hid from you when she rested her hands on your waist. 

Again, the both of you received disapproving looks from the firefighters when the horn broke through all the noise, giggling to yourselves immaturely. 

Before long, you’d gone your separate ways, with Melissa spewing knowledge about the topic and you making your way to a man scrolling through his phone. 

“Hey,” you smiled.

“Hi,” he returned, already buying the bordering flirtatious smile you gave him. “You work here?”

“No, I just walked in off the street,” you returned, huffing a laugh at his concerned look. “Yeah, of course I work here. You a firefighter?”

“Touche,” he laughed, “So, what can I do for ya?” 

You almost feel guilty for letting him down, but there’s only one Phillie-accented voice that can make your heart skip a beat. 

“I noticed that there’s a spare jacket lyin’ around,” you uttered with a gesture towards the discarded clothing lying on the ground next to him. “And I was wondering if maybe there’s a hat to go along with it?”

You could tell he was disappointed. You could also tell he was about to deny your request but his words fell on deaf ears when you picked the coat up anyway, smiling largely as you pulled it onto your body. 

“Mel!” you shouted, half jogging away from the owner of the jacket. “How do I look?” 

You gave her a little twirl, the sleeves burying your hands in a way she thought was the most adorable thing she’d ever seen. 

“Like a million bucks,” she smirked, admiring you fondly. “How’d you get ‘em to let you wear it?”

“She didn’t.” Neither of you had noticed him standing near you with a slightly annoyed look on his face. You almost shrunk under his stare but you were too pleased with yourself to care. 

You also didn’t notice Barbara and Jacob asking the group of bored children what they were doing. They approached whilst you returned the jacket with a frown.

“You two are more immature than my kindergarteners,” Barbara tutted. “Now, come inside, we have a mandatory fire safety talk.” 

You’d both been perfectly chastised and followed everybody in without argument.

–

Later on in the day, you’d found her doing what you were headed to do as well, bidding a final farewell to the gloriously red engine. 

“Ma’am, we really need to get going,” one of them sighed. “There’s got to be a fire somewhere.”

“Jacob,” you whispered, nudging your elbow into his side. “Do something.”

“What do you want me to do? I can’t force them to stay here.”

“C’mon, put those improv classes to use.”

Of course, that was enough to get him striding towards them, muttering something about Frisbee and practically fighting the hands away from his cookies that were almost used as a way to fetch it down. 

“Are you familiar with the Schemmentis of Southern Philidelphia?” you interrupted, breathing a sigh of relief when you saw the look of recognition you predicted to pass across his face. 

Soon enough you were watching Melissa climb a ladder to the roof. Part of you was terrified of the sight of heeled boots making their way up metal rungs. But the other watched on blissfully at the complete happiness on her face. You’d give anything to have this sight on a never-ending loop. 

“Thanks for lettin’ me do that,” she grinned once she’d climbed back down, still glowing from the excitement of the day. “Felt better than I could’ve imagined.”

You left her to her conversation, packing up your things from your classroom, cheeks aching from the glee you’ve felt today. You were stuck in your head, still reluctant to let go of the sight of Melissa in her own world. And maybe there were some less than wholesome ideations on your part, remembering the sight of the woman at the top of a ladder. 

A clearing of a throat behind you brought you back to earth and the sight of the redhead made heat crawl up your neck, mentally scolding yourself at the way your mind was beginning to wander. 

“Hey hot stuff,” she smirked; you rolled your eyes at her obvious pun but of course couldn’t help but return her smile. It was surprising how much your lips curl upwards when you’re in her presence, so effortless. 

“Hey.”

“I got ya somethin’,” she spoke, bringing her arms out from behind her back to reveal the shining firefighter helmet in her grasp. She laughed happily at the way you gasped. “Had to pay you back for getting ‘em to let me up on the roof,” she shrugged before placing it atop your head, brushing your hair away from your cheek while you shivered at the feeling of her finger stroking across your skin. 

“Thank you, Melissa,” you smiled, adjusting the way it sat on your head as she stepped closer to where you stood. 

“Anything to see a sweet thing like you lookin’ all cute,” she returned, daring to cup your cheek in her palm. You leant into her touch despite the way you wanted to shy away; there’s something about her that crushes the fear of vulnerability, you could never be anything but perfectly comfortable around her. 

“They wouldn’t let me try one on,” you pouted, which only made her eyes glint lovingly. 

“Eh, screw ‘em,” she chuckled, “Now, please, let me kiss you.”

You pulled her into you as soon as the words fell from her mouth. You felt her smile against your lips; you could feel the softness of her lip gloss and the lick of her tongue into your mouth. Your knees could’ve buckled if not for the firm hold she’d taken of your hips and yet you feared they’d betray you anyway when she pulled away with pink flushed cheeks and a heated look in her eyes. 

“Dinner at mine, tonight.” It wasn’t a question and her tone sent heat coursing through you; of course you nodded, unable to speak just yet as you tried to catch the breath she stole.

“How’d you get them to give you this, anyway?” you breathed, lips ghosting hers from how she couldn’t bring herself to pull away just yet.

“I’m Melissa Schemmenti,” she shrugged. “I always find a way to get what I want.”

I know this isn’t the usual speed around here but slightly pathetic whimpery s1 Rafe is to die for!! He’s obviously cocky and entitled but it’s in a more spoiled and almost bratty way so he throws his little temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way… I think s1 has seriously overlooked toxic Rafe potential

- 💓

wait i know im allllll about season 2 rafe like hes loml seriously but i just started rewatching season 1 and i dont like his hair lol but hes so toxic and gross. i know everyone on here has been talking more about him and like fratboy rafe and i usually refrain but something about being his gf through all of season 1..... im hornee.

in particular im thinking of like how he acts so douchey with everyone in public but its so visible he has a huge soft spot for you.. waves you over when he's just hanging out with his friends to check in that you're doing okay, goes and gets you a fresh drink before giving you a kiss and sending you off back to ur friends.. makes some gross comment about how you were screaming for him in the back of his truck last night after you walk away... kelce is like bro. i always sit in the back.

you'd be lurking in his bedroom when he goes down to 'have a chat' with his dad, like when he gets yelled at about the generators. comes back all angry and literally folds you in half and fucks you until you cry because you are his favorite way to calm down <3 ... (i have no idea what the vibes on this blog are and i dont wanna make people mad but he gets so manipulative... esp if you're just like i don't feeling like fucking again right now or esp in public!!!! which he looooves.... starts going on a tangent about how he provides for you and takes care of you and he's the man of the house and if he needs to relax you should be on your knees already.... sorry omg if ur reading this n youre starting to hate me i apologize in advance. i never talk about scummy scummy rafe but hes real and hes so hot. fully wants you to be like a hyperactive horny bunny just waiting for his dick at all times.... i would 110% start doing it too... ANYWAYS)

he's so spoiled so he likes spoiling you with anything you want... most of the stuff he gets you is pretty much for him tho... gets hard because you wear an RC necklace.. lots of pretty lingerie and babydolls that he likes to rip up...handcuffs because duh.. it's almost always you in the handcuffs but every once in a while he can be convinced to get in them lol

but the temper tantrums are soooo real like especially if you're out with friends or made plans with your parents. like he seriously loves making you abandon your plans to come see him. but then youll show up and hes at a party and selling or ignoring you and ofc you cry because it's like he made you come here and not even giving you any attention... then he'll drag you out by your hair and fuck you SOOO mean in the back of his truck talkin about "just needed this dick, yeah? s'okay, dad's gonna give it to ya hard. then you'll be good as gold won'tya?" ugh. hes so mean.

im still in my rewatch but the scene where him and topper beat up pope:( this especially hits sooo hard w my pogue reader but i can just imagine that being the cause of your first real fight, like you're so upset he can be that cruel but there goes his manipulation tactics.. telling you he needs to be a proactive man to protect you and his friends and his turf. he's not letting anyone walk all over him, regardless if you like them or not. fucks you until you forget all about your pogue friends, and then you end up bandaging his bloody hand for him.

ooohh and when they go to that movie showing.. can just imagine curling up on a lawnchair with him under a blanket, him n the boys are on high alert for jj and pope but he keeps a tight arm around you, goes and gets you a soda and popcorn which you two share.. you don't want him to leave and you whine when he does.. can just imagine the scene where jj and pope turn back to look at him when kie tells them rafe is right behind them. rafe is staring so hard at them while ur tryna feed him a piece of popcorn. LOL

#waiiiit i love you babe you just made me actually want to write for s1 rafe. bye HAH #do you prefer like these long winded explanations or a real full on drabble in reply? #love u ! #📮 asks #💓 anon

Tank/Darlin and Asher headcanons

I was going to post some ansty headcanons but I've had a change of heart after rewatching the Asher and Darlin video [Darlin They/he/it]

TW: cursing

Asher and Tank have four matching piercings

when Tank and Ash were in middle school they got suspended for starting a food fight the only reason they got caught was cause they started throwing food at people in class

These two are the reason Marie has grey hairs

every time these two hangout they make these drinks that taste like how you imagine battery acid to taste like and they'll chug it like it's nothing

Tank and Ash were in a band all throw high school

Tank did all of Ash's tattoos and piercings

they like watching people argue in public, they bring popcorn and everything

you can't leave these two alone together for too long you have to check on them once in a while, cause these two will start sharing brain cells and usually nothing good comes out of these two sharing brain cells

Tank: ya think I could build a sword

Ash: what?

Tank: I mean I know how to weld and I've built things out of metal before so how hard can it be

Ash: have you tried it before?

Tank: nope *long pause* yo ash want to help me build a sword

Ash: sure!

these two love dragging their mates into their dumb ideas

someone could be taking a cute picture and you look in the back to see Tank looking like something from hell, there's a pic of Baabe and Asher kissing, and right behind them is Tank with one glowing red eye setting something on fire with the biggest smile on his face

Wall Tank was in Washington Asher kept them up with the pack drama

Tank has nicknames for everyone in the Shaw and Keaton pack, Ash's is masher, no one really knows why out of any nickname Tank chose masher

Arden "ay Tank, I been meaning to ask why do you call ash masher"

Tank "do you remember that time when we were in college and someone dared ash to eat a dozen donuts at once so he mashed all the donuts together into some type of sandwich that was the size of a burger and it looked like he unhinged his jaw-like a fucking snake then preceded to eat the donut sandwich whole, no you don't cause I do." *stares into Arden's soul*

Ash, Tank, and Chrissy used to be a trio before ash became pack beta but Christain got kicked for obvious reasons

Christain may be Tank's friend but that didn't stop Tank from almost stumping his chest in for disrespecting ash

Tank had the biggest crush on Asher's mom when growing up and ash couldn't stand it

Asher was the only one who Tank really talk to well they were in Washington but they would text him the most random and out-of-pocket things

Tank: yo some asshole just ripped out my eye 😡

[m]Asher: which one, your good or bad eye?

Tank: wowww not even going to ask me if am okay if you really want to know it was my bad eye😒 *sends a pic of their eye*

[m]Asher: ewww🤢 have you tried putting it back in?

Tank: that's not how it works dumbass

[m]Asher: you don't know that

Tank: it didn't work.

Tank has been struck by lightning more than once and Ash has been there to witness it each time

tldr: censorship fucking sucks and word of honor and xena are mlm/wlw solidarity 

okay this was a random thought that came to me during a combo of rewatching of Word of Honor and reading a post that declared Word of Honor “didn’t count” on their BL list of whatever the fuck and here’s the thought, here’s the vibe, Word Of Honor has a lot in common with Xena: Warrior Princess

Hear me out

Everyone kinda knows that Xena - and by extension Lucy Lawless - as a bisexual/queer woman icon, and that Xena/Gabrielle is probably still one of the most prominent wlw ships in western canon. That’s a huge part of the shows iconography in pop culture. But like, if you rewatch the show, things between Xena and Gabrielle are kept pretty ambiguous but in that ambiguously totally gay way (like WenZhou!). 

The network was actively against Xena and Gabrielle being more than, what fans would probably call nowadays, bait. An executive told producer Rob Tapert that by making Xena and Gabrielle explicit there would be a surge of interested followed by a sharp decline. 

It should be noted that Xena was already a controversial show for it’s era - not just for the gay subtext but under fire from religious groups, anti-feminist groups, and others. 

The showrunners and producers also didn’t intend for Xena and Gabrielle’s relationship to, eh, blossom the way it did. Fans ran with it. Ironically, the intention of the show was to push Xena’s men of color love interests which also made the network gun shy (remember folks racism exists alongside homophobia!). 

Xena and Gabrielle operated in a highly censored space (that still exists in American media btw!! Take it from someone who knows first hand) that was beholden to network hand-wringing, capitalism, and societal homophobia at large.  So their relationship could only live within an ambiguous space. Ironically enough, just like WenZhou, Xena and Gabrielle are also referred to as “soulmates” in the text of the show. But ya know, sometimes soulmates are platonic, sometimes romantic. Which are WenZhou and Xena/Gabrielle? Well that’s up for the viewer to decide b/c the production teams hands are tied. 

Even so, even with the censorship, we all still view Xena as legitimate queer representation within the pop culture space. Why? Why Xena and not Word of Honor?

For me, they both count, especially WoH because it’s source material IS queer. But the filter of censorship snipped and cut the text away so everything would be forced to live within that ambiguous “up to the audience aka gotta make the advertisers comfortable” space. 

I don’t think it’s fair to throw WoH out because the production couldn’t, like they were not allowed, to showcase text on screen. Similar to Xena queer fans knew that her and Gabrielle were in love, soulmates (romantic) by the end (where Xena dies, like literal for reals death she’s ashes carried on by Gabby at the end btw spoiler alert for a 20 year old show at least WK got silver hair and immortality out of his death experience). 

Queer fans appreciated and cultivated what Xena gave us because, no offense but what the fuck else was there? Not a lot, and even less in the fantasy space. Hell, there’s still not a lot of queer representation in the fantasy space we’re only just now going “hey maybe Tolkien’s ultra white British view of things is not the only way to do things?" And now House of Dragon has Black actors in terrible wigs (they’re so fucking bad rip) in 2022. Woooo~ most queer chars in western fantasy media are mainly found in kids cartoons - which, fucking aces there but also - probably why there’s so many adults in those spaces in fandom (not my bag personally) and why I think the popularity of danmei, c-dramas, and k-dramas is on the rise. People are hungry for epic fantasy content, epic romance content, and queer content. 

but like, I think about queer folks who live in China, who watched WoH (ya know, the intended audience, not Americans) who are probably feeling the same thing people felt when they watched Xena. Yeah, Mr. Advertiser Xena and Gabrielle are soulmates (platonic) wink wink, Yeah Mr. Network ZZS and WKX are soulmates (platonic) wink wink

and I think that’s still valuable. idk I just don’t think it’s right for foreigners to be like “no you’re queer media doesn’t count actually because I deem it so” when the reason for the relationship being subtextual is literal censorship. And yet the text is hella gay anyway!! like at the end of the day we’re all battling the crushing weight of homophobia but not everyone’s fight is exactly the same especially country-to-country and I think that should still be respected. given how damn gay WoH is anyway I imagine the producers fought really fucking hard to give audiences what they did. Just like the producers of Xena fought against the network to do what they could. 

anyway, thoughts and shit

merm...bkg hunger games au....

okay so here are my initial thoughts:

1) im actually probably way too into the hunger games to be having this discussion lmfaoooo. im too into it, it’s too perfect, i love it too much. it is basically the pinnacle of all YA and i will fight literally everyone on that.

2) so with the first point in consideration, are we talking like a strict 1:1 AU? Setting it in New America/Panem? Districts with distinct specialities? Commentary about reality TV and modern entertainment entwined with like, the trauma that comes with war and trying to break free of generational curses and etc etc etc? RE: reality TV, I do think we could probably modernise that just a teeny weeny little, to include like, idk, some bullshit about how we’re always under constant surveillance and how we no longer have the time/option to be unavailable (because we’re so connected!). and since we’re like, apart of an actual fandom, maybe we could throw in some stuff about how our more privileged/sheltered audience members would engage in like, stan culture about all these dying kids, LOL. Shipping wars that ends bitterly because one half of the pairing like, idk, clubs the other to death LMAO. Real People Fanfic and the culture war that would come from that (people having a problem with RPF of the tributes bc they’re real people, but like also conveniently like… forgetting they’re real people who are being forced into a death match). would we throw in a line about Reader and/or Bakugou discovering self-insert Gamefic? lmao no wait i made myself snort, we’re absolutely keeping that LMAO. anyways im gonna cut myself off here bc otherwise i will ramble on, but that brings us to point numero-threeo—

3) i recently rewatched Battle Royale (a “random” class entered wins a yearly lottery then dumped on a remote island where they have three days to murder each other—all in the name of keep the status-quo, etc etc, also this is somehow a solution to sky-high unemployment rates etc etc etc.). if we kept the Quirks then like, you could spin it as a dystopian AU where people are fearful of quirks being too powerful, so then ya death-match children are pulled from hero classes and we make Reader end up in there accidentally or something, and oh no! they’re also quirkless (and defenceless hehe).

4) idk. i know i was like hehe i like war! but like, i don’t know how to emphasise how much i love the hunger games LMAO. and how that love sort of translates into the same fierceness i feel about BNHA, when it comes to fanfic—that the canon characters have certain inevitabilities you have to honour. just like no matter the universe, we are always going to need a Bakugou who’s centered around his friends (Deku, always, in any capacity. Kirishima, the first equal he had. Shouto, his frustrating Bestie <3), to me the hunger games works as well as it does because it’s war through the lens of relationships. Gale as the danger of unhealed anger, Peeta as choosing peace—like… that’s the magic of THG to me, and i just…… like…… what are we gonna do with the relationships, with a BNHA cast? 🥺 What would Bakugou be? Do we start with a Bakugou who’s still in Bastard Mode? Has he gone through his canon growth by the time he and Reader meet? If he has, then how was that facilitated in our new world? Did he and Deku end up in the same game? Survive together somehow? How many of their peers and friends do they lose, or does that come later on? How do we fit Reader into that dynamic naturally? the romance in THG happens through like, a need to play the game, play it up for the cameras, but it’s born out of Peeta’s very real feelings for Katniss, that started when they’re kids, and I’m not a childhood friends-to-lovers person (writing wise). The “romance” (if u can call it that) in Battle Royale is probably more culpable to what i do (vague awareness of each other/one-sided crush, grows as they prop each other up) but… idk!!! idk!!!! we could just write up Bakugou and Reader sharing a cave and making out over a festering wound but like…. idk!!! i believe in earning our kisses. 😌 show me the build up in the war-torn society first, and then maybe we can have a kiss later on, lmfaoooo.

#ofmermaidstories-asks #basically what i am saying is that i am absolutely the wrong person for this discussion LMFAOOOOOOO #because i just cannot let myself do fun sexy festering wound cave kisses—like i need a whole ass essay beforehand on the system that #got them in the cave in the first place and i just— #sometimes ur girl here doesn’t have the brain power 🥹 #‘do things for fun’ they say #that only works if you’re normal and not a massive overthinker who also happened to have a THG phase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #OR a BR phase!!!! #i am LITERALLY staring at a copy of the BR novel right now #like!!!!!!! #i cannot do this in a lighthearted teehee manner lmfao #we go in guns blazing OR NOT AT ALL!!!

[destinygoldenstar]

Hey, I’m doing a rewatch of the new TD reboot for a few analysis posts, and something has been on my mind:

Isn’t Damien such a great concept for a character?

I mean, from that alone, he’s a cinnamon roll who needs to be protected. Put him there with Cure Wing as ‘Top 10 Cinnamon Rolls of 2023′, (Even if Tsubasa would probably be above him)

I feel like this character is gonna have a great comeback in Season 2.

But for now, I realized his character arc HAS been done before. 

That’s with DJ in World Tour, as both of them try to quit the game, but fail over and over until they want to stay, THEN they get eliminated. 

But in my opinion, Damien was ALWAYS gonna be the superior character with this arc, as they actually established a reason why he can’t just quit. 

And secondly, in my opinion, DJ should’ve never even competed in World Tour.

Yes, I think DJ should’ve never been in World Tour. At all. 

I’m rewriting Action, and I said I wouldn’t be rewriting World Tour. (though Idk how many people would demand it. If enough people do by the finale of Refilming Action, I’ll think about it.) BUT if I did, this would be a major change I would do to the cast. That, and not even have Blaineley. (These are my three biggest problems with World Tour, DJ’s arc, Blaineley’s existence, and Sierra. Just-just Sierra. At least everything else has drama I am interested in.)

First off, the animal curse is NOT FUNNY. Not even the first time. I can’t understand anyone who finds animal cruelty funny, and it’s kind of gross. TD, I know you’re known for your mean spirit, but do it on your people and leave the critters out of it! (It’s kind of why my partner is not into this show. At all.)

It’s ALL DJ has to do in this season, which just feels tacked on, like ‘Oh, Team Victory is too bland for an early boot team and Team Chris’s team of goofballs isn’t enough of comedy, we need to have a running gag too!’

I mean, World Tour is probably the second best season of the show, but... it has some DISGUSTING plotlines that make me uncomfortable. Like, I think Action is more of a cozy watch to be honest. (Seriously, WT is lucky it has the best A plot of the franchise.)

(Huh. Maybe I do want to rewrite WT.)

Second, DJ’s character has already reached its logical conclusion in Action. Say what you will about Action, I liked what they did with him there. He is the only character who actively chose his morality and his heart over the game, and avoided the temptations of the money and fame. Something that they ALL should’ve done, but didn’t do. This makes DJ a role model. This is a logical conclusion to his time on the show. This is beautiful.

Now there’s nothing for him to do, so why have him here? If DJ never competed in World Tour, he would’ve had THE most POSITIVE character arc in the entire show!

But ya blew it!

And third, lets say DJ didn’t compete in World Tour. What would change? 

Not much, actually.

Would we lose momentum for Alejandro’s villainy? 

No. There’s like, a dozen other people he screws over. I think losing one person in this count doesn’t change the impact of the villain.

(If we counted how many people, ‘This Is How We Will End It’ would be like, ten minutes long. I would’ve liked that. Then we wouldn’t have to focus on Sierra.)

And there’s also the part involving the teams. 

Team Amazon has five members: Gwen, Heather, Courtney, Cody, and Sierra

Team Chris has five members: Owen, Izzy, Tyler, Noah, and Alejandro

Team Victory has SIX members. 

I know Ezekiel is the first boot. I know Duncan comes back. I don’t care.

By removing DJ, EVERY team starts with five members. 

Team Victory would join the five team band with Leshawna, Lindsay, Bridgette, Harold, and Ezekiel.

Okay, so how would this change things up for Team Victory?

The girls in this team are the biggest targets for Alejandro. I know Lindsay’s elimination wasn’t caused by him, but I’m including her anyway. 

Ezekiel wouldn’t change. This was his fault. (And somewhat Harold’s)

But everyone else DJ kind of screws over. 

Would Harold still quit the game? 

Without DJ, there’d be no man on the team to keep everyone together. So I don’t think Harold would go here, and he’d be smarter than to just throw everything away. I think he would still cost the team the challenge, but I think that should be setup for an ego character arc instead of the cause of his boot. It’s an easy fix too: Just have Episode 3 be a reward challenge. Reward challenges don’t do any harm, y’all are just mean.

You could argue Harold becoming an egotist isn’t a better subplot, but at least it’s foreshadowed in Celebrity Manhunt to back it up, AND to me, it’s more interesting.

And if you think this is too serious of a subplot and there wouldn’t be enough comic relief. Again. Team Chris has Owen, Izzy, Noah, and Tyler. Comic relief characters. THEY are the source for laughs. (Plus it’s kind of a part of Alejandro’s character for the season)

This would also but a strain on the team on who should be in charge and fix the team’s losing streak. 

I think said losing streak would have Bridgette and Leshawna go the same episodes they do in canon. Though in Leshawna’s case, it would be her mistrusting Harold’s leadership attempts in an understandable way. This would be why she turned to Alejandro, not because she’s into him, but because she trusts him more as a leader, and he supports her.

Then in the second Aftermath, Harold and Leshawna could apologize and make up. Which yes, Harold also goes before that.

Then we’d just have Harold and Lindsay. This is a great opportunity for a Lindsay/Harold friendship. I would love that duo! (Refilming Action foreshadowing?)

I think Episode 9 is where Harold would quit the game for the sake of his last teammate. THIS is where he does the ‘I will restore my honor’ thing, because his friend’s success is more important than his.

So Lindsay gets to stay for two more episodes, and we could have that Lyler subplot. That’s wholesome. 

She would also be a target for Alejandro as she is Tyler’s weakness. He would want her to win over them, something Alejandro can’t afford. So he’s gotta get her out. 

And lets say Lindsay DOES get eliminated because of Alejandro sabotage. (Which, all you need to do is have him do the ramp thing he did in canon. She wouldn’t notice cause she’s the ditsy character.) 

Team Victory is gone.

Would Tyler notice this? If he did, he would be against Alejandro for the rest of his time on the show, and he would be trying to stay afloat long enough to get back at him. If that meant he had to throw Duncan and Gwen under the bus for their kiss to protect himself, so be it. (Tyler is the only character with not enough screen time to establish flaws, so this would be neat.)

And if you think this would be OOC for Tyler, that’s an easy fix too: Just have him feel bad about it after it’s said and done, and try to help Gwen while she’s being cancelled. Would she accept it? Gwen would probably be desperate, so maybe. But Tyler is still against cheating, so he’s not supporting Gwuncan. That’d probably make Gwen deny his help because Duncan is the only one who cares about her in her eyes. Duncan would always be after him because of what Tyler did.

Then you know, he’d fail, and he’d be the Episode 15 boot. Then everything goes as normal from there.

Look, I like DJ, but I think this would be better for his character, and the season in general. 

And what I’m saying is that Damien is a king and he did this better. And this is first season, so it’s not sabotaging his character. I can’t wait to see what they do to Damien in season two.

In Defense of 2012 April

TW for mentions of sexual harassment and misogynist slurs 

I'm back here for another semi long post. I want to discuss TMNT 2012's version of April O' Neil (perfect timing with the month and all)  and why I personally think the hatred that goes towards her is …excessive to say the least, and frankly makes little to no sense. 

Before I begin, I would like to say I do think there are valid critiques of April as a character. Some of them I will mention here because even with characters I like, I will always point out flaws to not be a hypocrite. However, many of those complaints can be attributed to poor writing and lack of a woman's perspective when creating female characters. 

Let's step back for a moment and think. If April was not April, say she was August, or heck if she and Casey Jones swapped roles, would she get the same amount of hate? Well she sure as hell wouldn't get sexualized as much by the animators I'll tell ya that.

The truth is, I'm not really sure of the answer to that question. I do think there are double standards when it comes to guy characters vs girl ones. A guy with psychic powers but is prone to emotional outbursts sounds cool, right? 

I know there will be people that argue with me in the notes saying there isn't an unconscious bias towards gender, and clearly I'm being over dramatic. Well, I might as well go through the common complaints about April instead of stalling lol

1. She gets kidnapped too often! 

Starting off with probably my favorite complaint. *GASP*  April O' Neil gets kidnapped too often in a superhero cartoon where kidnapping is the most life threatening but still kid friendly crime they can do!

In early 2021 I rewatched 2012 and recorded a tally chart. For those who aren't in the server don't know, it's basically a count of every single instance a character got kidnapped. April got captured a total of 20 times. Sure seems like a lot.  But you know who got captured more times than her?

 Mikey, Donnie and Raph.

In fact, Mikey got captured more than 30 times! Yes, I counted and yes I'm aware I have no life. Yet I haven't heard anyone complain about those dudes in distresses getting their asses rescued by literally everyone. 

Like I said. It's a superhero cartoon. Kidnapping is…kind of a thing that happens. Everyone gets captured in this show, it really isn't that deep.

2. April is rude to Donnie!

Alright, this one legitimately gets me frustrated. 

If you are being harassed and stalked, you absolutely have a right to be rude to the person harassing you. Abusers do NOT deserve kindness, especially when they won't leave you the fuck alone. 

Now you may be wondering, what does this have to do with April? I'll tell you. 

That's the entire Apriltello arc in a nutshell. She is repeatedly harassed by Donnie and to a lesser extent Casey (and yes, Donnie did stalk her, no matter how good his intentions were it's fucked up). There is no win to this scenario. If this was real life, she would be called a bitch for rejecting such a "nice guy" . If she accepted him…well you know how some guys aren't always as nice as they seem…

If she was nice, she's a slut and trying too hard, if she's cold and upfront she's a bitch. I know this because I had to deal with the exact same thing April was going through during the early seasons of 2012. 

Now that the heavy part is out of the way, I would like to clarify I don’t hate 2012 Donnie. In fact, he’s my favorite Donatello. But I’m not going to say his actions were excusable. 

In regards to general rudeness, most of her comments ("Nice catch Donnie!") are just snarkiness typical of a teenager, and the boys have actually said and done a lot worse.

3. The Kiss (es) 

Yeah okay I agree with this one. It doesn't make any sense, especially in the episode a Foot Too Big. I think it would be nice to have her not kiss him, but keep the speech there. And after that ironically, Donnie mellowed out with his crush. 

I guess I can only really blame poor writing on that. 

4. She's a Mary Sue 

So in terms of her psychic powers, I think if they were explained a bit more, it would make more sense. If there were scenes of her practicing, or heck, the origins behind it beyond "she's part Kraang". Actually, come to think of it, wouldn't it be awesome if she actually had some Kraang-like appearances to her design? Maybe as her powers got stronger? 

As for her becoming a kunoichi, it was obvious that she was not as strong of a fighter as the turtles in several instances. The only times I can think of where she saves them involve her powers, not her ninja skills. She graduated the first part of being a ninja in Season 4, she didn't automatically become an expert. 

5. Uh didn't she kill Donnie-

Oh my God. NO SHE DIDN'T. Okay, am I the only one who finds this "reason" to be stupid? She was under control of an aeon crystal! Za-Naron 'killed' Donnie, not April.

In conclusion? April deserves better and stop reblogging my April appreciation post with hate. Thank you.

I rewatched Snow White a few times over the past several months as research for my fics. Something I notice more and more I watch that movie is that Vil is like if Snow White was a well written protagonist.

Vil shares a lot of the same qualities as her. They both value hard work. They are both stern and able to stand their ground. They're both kind and considerate (most of the time for Snow White), wanting to help out others become better versions of themselves. Where they differ is their intelligence and negative qualities.

Snow White has almost zero major flaws. Everyone minus her stepmother either automatically adores her or are won over by the end. Snow White's negative qualities are her nativity and overly trusting nature, which only get her in trouble at the very end and that might be only for plot reasons. She reminds me of YA heroines from the 2000s/ early 2010s like Bella Swan, whose flaws often consisted of something cutesy like clumsiness and are devoid of any true flaws. In the creators of Snow White's defence, this is probably thanks to this being one of the first animated movies ever, so they probably didn't know how to write compelling characters let alone female ones at the time. However, that's still not an excuse. (This criticism also applies to Cinderella and Aurora as well.)

Vil's, on the other hand, make him more human and compelling. One of his biggest character flaws is his domineering and overly critical attitude. Despite having the best intentions and wanting to help others become their best selves, he is often so blunt that he comes off as an asshole, which gets him into trouble plenty of times. He also takes things way too far and is often times inconsiderate of others' feelings like with how he treats Epel. (I think that could've been hammered home even more in his arc where the team talks smack behind him behind his back and called him out a ton more when he did fucked up shit like paralysing people with his UM. But that's another story.) He's also impulsive, judgmental, in his own head, stubborn and even has a quick fuse at times. These negative traits make some characters in the game and sometimes people in the audience not very fond of him, but that's okay. Not everyone is gonna love us, and sometimes that's thanks to our flaws or things out of our control. The same applies to well written fictional characters.

Snow White is a bit of an idiot. She lets in the Evil Queen and eats the poisoned apple without second guessing anything, ignoring the dwarves warning her not to open the door for anyone she doesn't know. While I know she was barely a teenager in her movie, come on! She should've suspected something was off considering peddlers usually frequent CITIES so people can buy their products, not the forest. That's like if a serial killer, who was pretending to be a door-to-door salesman, came to some farm in the middle of nowhere and claimed they were selling shit. I think most people would think something was off. Why even do that, especially when someone is out to kill her? Being wary of her should've been her first instinct. She also randomly cleans the dwarves cottage, because she figures children live there. Like...what? Whose first instinct when coming to someone else's home is to break in and start cleaning it? I know she wanted to do it to potentially have somewhere to stay, but that still doesn't excuse her breaking into someone's house like that. (Personally, if I wrote that part, I would have them already there and question her presence. Then, she can explain her situation, and then she offers to clean their house, which they allow. That way she's not breaking and entering someone's home.)

Vil is a lot smarter. He's a potion master and well read. (Which makes the ending of Chapter/Book 6 super fucking annoying and out of character for him. But I hate that arc, so I want to pretend like it never happened.) Like anyone, he has his limits and isn't all knowing. Him avoiding a lot of those more obvious pitfalls makes him much more fun to watch and write than her.

I hope Snow White is more like Vil in the upcoming live action movie. Not that I want her to be a carbon copy of him, far from it, but that she is written as more human while still retaining those core qualities from the original. Her good qualities are fine as is and are a part of her charm. While I find a lot of the live action Disney movies to be meh to downright terrible (*cough* Mulan and The Lion King *cough*), sometimes they update stories for modern audiences in a compelling way while containing the heart of the original like in Cinderella or The Jungle Book, which is something Snow White is in desperate need of.

okay okay okay hold on, while in sweet magnolias phase, I’d just like to acknowledge one thing I’ve seen spreading around through tiktok on this whole Annie/Jackson/Ty thing

There are some takes I’ve heard that apparently say 1) Jackson has always been the better choice and 2) Ty already lost his chance

Now this is no slandering to either ship as I did actually enjoy both (well one more than the other but anyways), lemme just rant.

For the first part, I can say with absolute certainty that Jackson was not always the better choice. Frankly, just taking into account his behavior in general towards anyone in S1 should immediately debunk this but to fully confirm this, he specifically targeted Ty and Annie. He sent the message to the baseball team, thus spreading the entire school, embarrassing her (+him) as well as mocking her publicly at prom. I know he’s remorseful for this later but it’s important to remember why the character development was necessary in the first place. So, yeah that’s just my two cents on that.

As for the ‘Ty already lost his chance’ take, I just have one simple statement on this: I don’t think he even knew he had a chance at the time.

And if you rlly wanna get analytical, I could as far as to argue, even if he had a notion of that (which I genuinely don’t believe he did esp in S1), it confused him far too much than he could handle at the moment with everything else going on in his life. I do believe he possibly had feelings right under his nose he didn’t seem to realize (bc let’s be real, when it comes to love, he’s super complicated)

Anyways as I was saying, the first detail that immediately made me question this was his obvious shock at the idea that Annie could like him. When he was talking about it with his friend, the way he described the events and how Annie got all weird like she liked him felt suspicious to me.

There are two ways I could see it: he’s so genuinely shocked at the idea of her liking him that mustered up some old feelings of his own or it’s just too weird to consider that this girl he’s known his whole life could have feelings for him.

(Well, it’s kinda similar but ya get me?)

Not even that but when all this happened after the dance, Annie was clearly intoxicated. What was true and what was just the alcohol messing with her brain? And on that note, I could even comment on their huge argument when Jackson sent the message + the conversation after church. Annie said time and time again that the kiss meant nothing and she just wasn’t thinking so what was he supposed to believe? What was he supposed to feel? The guy’s already got so much going on and dealing with these complicated emotions + situations might’ve just been a lot. I do think he’s had buried feelings since s1 but as an actual choice for Annie.. I don’t think he really realized.

So yup that’s just my whole rant on it all, I rather enjoyed doing this and I’ll probably add to it later b/c I feel like I’m missing so much and this isn’t even on S2 yet. Which I could also comment on hehehe. But also everyone plz refrain from yelling at me if I get any of this in accurate or a bit off, I’ve only seen this show once through and rewatched a couple scenes!

#i needed to rant abt this so bad #if you guys wanna talk abt with me plz feel free #(and well to clarify I am much much more of tyannie shipper but can’t lie #jackson and annie had their moments but it’s just not the same energy) #sweet magnolias #tyannie #jackannie #annie sullivan #tyler townsend

The 100 Live Blogging

Alright yall, I'm gonna take a dive back into the only show aimed at teens that I watched as a teen. Everyone had their one CW show and this was mine. Separate posts will be made for separate watching sessions but episodes done in the same watching session will be added as reblogs. Block the tag "alli watches the 100" if you don't want this on your dash (no shame to ya)

Episode 1x01 Pilot

We are off to a bad start Netflix started playing suits when I opened it for some fucking reason

Right off the bat, Eliza Taylor's American accent isn't bad at all, but it's got the American vocal fry that I hate

Also it's really funny to me that the lead actors of this show have names that are near identical to people who are way more famous than them (Eliza Taylor and Bob Morely)

Not a good sign that the UK part of the Ark, the spaceship these people are staying post apocalypse, looks like it has cardboard on the exterior

Juvenile offenders call lockup "the sky box" which is was teenagers are never in charge of naming things

CW dialogue exposition my beloathed

Wells got himself arrested not for Clarke, but in my headcannon, that The 99 isn't as good of a title

My only solace for having to deal with Finn is that unlike the first time I watched this show, I know he dies instead of just wishing for it

Ah season one Bellamy hair, it makes him look like a middle school teacher

You see I hate CW dialogue but I also absolutely would have screamed "We're back bitches" if I was the first person back on earth in a century

Cue too on the nose pop song, radioactive by imagine dragons

I swear to god a solid 20% of Finn's dialogue is calling Clarke princess and im supposed to like him?

I will say off the bat Bellamy is the best character because so far he's the least clichéd and most interesting lol. Meanwhile I can't wait for his sister Octavia to be a good character because she does, she does get better but for now....yikes

Monty!!! Monty best boy!!!

FUCKED UP DEER MY BELOVED!!! TWO HEADED DEER WOOHOO!!!

I dont know how to explain it, everything on the Ark...like it doesn't look greenscreened but it does look weirdly hazy like it's not there??

The actor for Kane has a very bad American accent, it's so far up his nose it's like he's sick lol

Love the random girl who yelled "It's water!!!" When it started raining

Begging this society to stop using the term "floated" for executed it sounds so fucking stupid

Kane absolutely said the word "majority" instead of "maturity" and that's the take they used for some reason

Clarke is a beautiful artist and normally I don't wanna be the person to question this but how does she know what the Arc du Triumph is

Kane please don't say you're willing to "take us down to a cosmic Adam and Eve" to your female co-worker clearly both you and the writers don't realize how extra creepy that it

This show really likes shot to shot scenes where the camera is just panned up a little so you can see up the actor's nose and it's so awkward

I dont want to be that person, but I think it's very telling that Abby (Clarke's mother)'s best friend is an Asian woman who is still unnamed despite having more lines than multiple white characters who are already named. Like this show is quite diverse and it's not going to be fun rewatching and seeing how poorly they handled that diversity.

Director: "okay can you boys just improv for a moment to delay the scene so we can have the big moment at the chorus of the song?" Actors: "Sure boss!"

What!?!?! You're not alone on Earth?!?! I never would have seen that coming! /s

Final rating: 7/10 despite its flaws I'm far too interested to not continue. What shot Jasper?? Idk! It's a fun lord of the flies story that is really interesting if only its dialogue was better

9 favorite shows as gifs

Thank you for tagging me @willkimurashat @eva-neill-green @fujihime-litg @mrs-youcef

This is once again in no specific order because they’re all very different shows and all top tier imo.

1. Parks and Recreation

My favorite sitcom I have rewatched it soo many times and was so sad when it got moved to streaming on Peacock but then my cousin got Peacock and now I leech onto their account to watch it.

2. Schitts Creek

Elite sitcom! So funny, so heartfelt, Dan Levy you are my fav nepo baby and I accuse nepotism for this show. And Miora Rose iconic.

3. Space Force

Another tragic betrayal from Netflix by canceling this show. I love Ben Schwartz and space.

4. The Get Down

This was the first betrayal I ever experience from Netflix and you may be saying hey I’ve never heard of The Get Down before we’ll it’s because it featured a fully poc cast and told a beautiful story of the start of hip hop and fall of disco from the perspective of young teens from the Bronx in the 70s and Netflix didn’t promote it at all. It was directed by Baz Luhrmann ya know the guy that did Romeo and Juliet with Leo DiCaprio. This show was beautiful and amazing and I cried when I found out they canceled it. Still the story ends pretty well with only a slight cliffhanger that Baz later clarified what would actually happen so if your looking for a show to watch I very highly recommend this one . It’s incredible, the soundtrack is amazing, there are lgbt characters, I mean I can’t ever say enough.

5. Once Upon a Time

The chokehold this show had me on since I was 11. Unparalleled. I love everyone in this show like family, each character means so much to me it’s insane. Last season was eh they were trying too hard to keep it alive but that’s shows now a days. Gif of the queen herself.

6. Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

Speaking of shows that had me in a chokehold the orginal pretty little liars was one of them. I was obsessed and they lost me the last few season after trying to hard to keep the show alive. A good show has an ending you don’t have to keep adding more to it. That being said I did not think this reboot/spin-off would be good but oh boy is it. I mean there is a slasher killer, it’s beautifully shot, and the cast is great.

7. Derry Girls

I absolutely love this show! I love everything about it. I pretend I have an Irish accent every time I watch it (sorry to any Irish followers but I think it’s a pretty decent attempt). This show is hilarious and I can’t wait to watch the final season.

8. Shadow and Bone

This show led to a downward spiral into the Grishaverse series and I am perfectly okay with it. I am still read every book in the series I’m on the final six of crow book rn. This show is soooo good I cried first episode for some reason. The cast is so hot. The characters and storylines are everything.

9. New Girl

Last but not least, this show is iconic. The friendships, the jokes, everything. Love it.

Omg I’m editing and adding a tenth because I can’t believe I forgot it

10. DEADLY CLASS

This!!! this show is one of the greatest shows to ever exist and I’m sooooo mad it got canceled. It’s based on a comic it’s one season I highly recommend despite the cliff hanger (because technically no cliff hanger if you jsut look up what happens in the comics). I love this show so much I did write a fan fic about it on Wattpad it’s called Medusa if you want to check it out. Literally Marcus (pictured above) the most incredible and stupid character ever I love him; the sass he has amazing. You will love all the characters as much as you hate them sometimes it’s great. Lana Condor is in it and so is Benedict Wong. If you like marvel movies the Russo brothers are producers.

Tagging whoever wants to join!

#tag #I love the get down so much you don’t understand #also if you don’t want to watch the show I still highly recommend the soundtrack it’s hip hop and disco it’s so good #also my love for deadly class just as strong as the get down

[nosolaceofastraightanswer]

here’s my ALGAMATION post of s1e1 of the umbrella academy for the mass rewatch extravaganza. i have little posts too that are more standalone but whatever. i will post them separately. also sorry i watched the ep hours ago but had to have Family Time but i’m back and the days not over yet in my time zone sooo

first off, there’s a lot of memories here cus i haven’t rewatched since i did originally and that was like. a whole life ago for me. i mean it was before quarantine i was a different man.

that dance scene is amazing. i’m trying not to rehash all the things people have said a million times so here’s my review for the sillies: best dance goes to viktor because I Dance Like That and it is just as bad as that actually but it’s like a Vibe you know?? it’s the movin and groovin i can get behind. allison is best dance cus she did prop work, dancing with your fathers urn is iconic but she WORKED that boa.

idfc what you guys say about pogo i love him he’s the skrunkle. his little glasses???? bro.

viktor is So Small like he’s just a little guy. he’s a pathetic wet cat if i’ve ever seen one.

agnes, queen, ily. pls get a raise. i don’t remember her that much but i remember liking her romance storyline.

the istanbul not constantinople fight scene is just iconic and it reminds me of my brother cus i remember him thinking it was really cool.

QUOTES I ENJOYED:

pogo: your father loved you in his own way

viktor: that’s the problem 💀💀💀💀

five: “i know how to do everything”

ohh anon, i had to screenshot your ask just so this post wont pop up when anyone searches the mentioned characters lolll. gonna put my thoughts under the cut and just a fyi im gonna be censoring the names here

send me your unpopular opinions

okay but i 100% agree with you. idk how you feel about him, but fus/himi is my least favorite character in this entire franchise (and this is coming from someone who usually loves dark haired assholes). He is one of the few characters i actually have a few things in common with (i.e. fucked up family dynamics, introvert who has trouble opening up to ppl, struggle in group settings, etc.), but im always ranging from strongly disliking or being neutral to him at best.

i think what i really cant stand about his character is that he is extremely woobified (by fans and within the show itself), and gets away with a lot of shit. like i love complicated and fucked up characters as much as the next guy, but shit man, i get why those stan twitter girlies pull the whole “but if this was a woman” card cause I seriously dont believe he would be as popular if he was a female character. fans would hate on him being a cold hearted bitch who’s obsessed with ya/ta and all that bullshit

and honestly take this part with a grain of salt cause my memory is shitty (and i literally rewatch bits of the anime to see the abc boys), but didnt he say some offensive comments about mik/oto and tot/suka’s death to troll ya/ta? like at ep 1 of s2? if he didnt, then ignore me. if he did, then idc idc theres nothing you can tell me that can justify that crap. i also hate how he’s an asshole to most, if not all, characters but yet everyones all like weirdly obsessed with him and shrugs it off and just adores him?? and that they somehow get that he’s actually this softie who doesnt mean it and went through sooo much even tho they dont know shit about him?? again, if this was a female character

ngl i think s1 having him being a borderline creep is what made me dislike him lol. like if he was like how he was portrayed in most of s2, then i think i’d be a little more neutral towards him. and this is unrelated, but i dont think hes hot at all and looks like a fish (but he did look good in dob. everyone looks good in mor/dob)

tl;dr I strongly agree with your opinion and think that fush/imi was forgiven too easily

#oh anon you open a can of worms i thought no longer existed lol #but yea maybe its bc im on my period but im super passionate today #and i think this is the longest ive ever written about how i feel about he who shall not be named #i think he’s popular cause a lot of ppl project into him #no shame to that cause im literally a y/n for a minor character #but shit man hes just a glorified canon gary stu #cant believe i actually used that term tho #ugh i noticed a typo in the first tag #i hate how you cant edit tags #but yea the way i would roll my eyes when i would see him bunched in a lot of hmr content #like not even the pre s1 hmr cause that makes sense since he was part of the group then #im talking about mor/current hmr #like no keep him in s4 #ask #anonymous #anon

across the spider-verse comments

I saw the new spider-verse yesterday with my friends, and shall dump all of my ramblings about it here. (spoilers!!)

Before that though: we had to walk to the theater in the biggest downpour (+ some storm lightning/thunder going on) we’ve had this year and we were all soaked. I’m fully expecting us to have colds in future sdhjdas

* note that “biggest downpour” here just means that the streets had flat “rivers” and we got soaked but it wasn’t like. “damn we’re drowning” kinda levels. Just really Wet.

Was worth though. And luckily afterwards it completely stopped so we could walk to a restaurant in peace.

ANYWAY, SPIDERVERSE.

Of course it slayed visually, i don’t need to tell ya that.

Gwen's universe being consistently messy/striking with colors until the conflict was resolved

I actually didn't understand Spider punk 50% of the time  

the miles apology videos shshsns

the "stop talking about your holes" joke actually sent me, send help

not a deal-breaker, but we felt like the glitches were a biiit too conviniently distributed with too long breaks in-between

my friends and I are kinda convinced Miguel is operating on false assumptions, considering the world where miles saved the cop was getting the Spot-Holes but it didn't seem like the same thing Miguel was experiencing... I also don't know why both Miles universes aren't just disintegrating as we speak - we did think about it being more meta on what makes sth a "spiderman story" but then the 42-universe should have had some consequences too right? Or is the lack of a spiderman to go through losses okay, you just "can't" have a spiderman not go through losses? We might need a rewatch to be fair. But something seems fishy here.

idk if I knew this when I watched the first movie but I LOST MY MIND realizing that the spider in the first movie GLITCHED TOO, signaling that it was from another dimension from the start :00 I had such a mindblow as I realized this, and I might have known this during the first movie But Still. God.

we also think that the tech spider person that operated the teleporter might not not have turned it off bc she felt sympathetic but because she knew he wouldn't be sent to his universe? We aren't sure on this front (because why wouldn’t she tell everyone) but we were kinda confused on why she'd change her mind narratively when she rly didn't seem to have build up towards that (to us)

I thought I was imagining it but I THINK i slightly heard prowlers sound theme when Miles was thrown back into the universe which now in hindsight (unless I'm misremembering the placement) is actually insane too.

that whole “wrong universe” reveal was great too with the hair questioning, awkward confusion in the mom’s face and how Gwen was looking towards an empty room and all- just to come together in the glitch as the definite reveal.

(I feel slightly insane for this and i need someone to tell me I’m not) Emphasizing Miles' shoes during the scene with his roommate and then later focusing on a shoe shot of prowler!miles before he reveals his face!! Insane associative connection my brain was made and I assume was intentional??? (but i do feel insane for this)

it was a lil weird that they were like “yeah this teleporter totally isn’t questionable and creepy” and then it did what they said it would? Like I was half-expecting it to be a murder machine or something sdhsdj- i get that they probably just meant that it’s ominous in how it looks but still, felt a bit like a misleading line to me.

There was one person that loudly commented on the movie twice, and one was a major L and the other time a major W.

The L was that they said “emotional damage” during the silence after Miles’ came out to alternate-universe mom. Was kinda,,, disorientating. Wasn’t a fan.

The W was at the end HSJASD they just went “no way, are you fucking kidding me?” and the whole theater burst out laughing. Apparently this exact thing also occurred during a friend’s showing, so this is a canon event for ATSV showings in my heart now HSHSJ

While watching the leadup to the end, I actually had that moment of “oh no. i saw someone joke they need to hold on until march 2024... oh no it’s gonna end isn’t it.... oh no” but when it did I was HYPED instead - the fact that a western animated movie got to do this?? Insane. I approve. Absolutely.

I do think this movie lacks a proper conclusive feelings, despite Gwen’s good framing of the movie. I’m not saying that’s bad, it’s a good 2nd movie in a trilogy and amazing build up, but yeah.

Anyway, good movie.
