1) Three non-romantic duos: Hmmm...brotps I adore would be Jack and Daniel (SG-1), Sam and Daniel (SG-1), and Lune and Matsen (Jade Torch -- is it cheating to use my own book??? xD) If that's cheating, then Sam and Frodo (LotR).

2) A ship that might surprise others: I kinda ship Link x Mipha from BOTW. I like Zelda x Link too, but something about Link x Mipha is just so sweet and tragic. I like that they knew each other for a lot longer than Zelda and Link knew each other.

Let's be real. I don't have a lot of crazy ships. Although, in SG-1, I do ship Vala x Tomin (but I also like Vala x Daniel).

3) Last Song: Shackleton by Adam Young

4) Last Film: My parents and I watched Hitched for the Holidays last night. Very funny romcom with Joey Lawrence. It's a Hallmark movie from 2012, so just before they all got so unbelievably cookie cutter/copy+paste with their plots.

5) Currently reading: Operation Grendel by Daniel Schwabauer

6) Currently watching: The X-Files. I'm nearing the end of season 1. I've never seen it before, and I'm loving it!

7) Currently consuming: Coffee

8) currently craving: idk. I don't have a strong craving for anything right now.

#i am in a massive stargate phase right now #i almost put john and rodney as the third brotp but i wanted to include something non stargate #and seriously. i am enjoying the x-files SO MUCH!!!!!!!! #the alien episodes are my favorite and i wish there were more of those and fewer of the ghost/spirit ones #but oh well #and can i say? mulder and scully's dynamic is perfection #not just how they trust each other or tease each other but how they physically behave with one another #the acting choices seem very deliberate #mulder wears his heart on his sleeve and i am living for that #and he's big on touch. not in a creepy way at all #but he's constantly putting his hand on her shoulder or gently placing his hand on her back to steer her #so much of it is 100% unnecessary for the scene so it feels like very deliberate acting choice regarding the character #and it doesn't phase scully a bit #even in the first few episodes when they've only known each other a few months or less she has no issue with how familiar mulder acts #again. i need to emphasize---it never comes across as creepy just really cute and tender #i really really like how she is SO TINY compared to him and i think his physicality and protectiveness is emphasized by that #but at the same time he knows she's fully capable #he seems protective of her but not in a demeaning way. not overprotective. just lots of chivalry and honor #that's something that seems totally lost in media today: men who want to protect women just because that's what they should be doing #and women who let them #too many women get bent out of shape when men try to be gentlemen #women have tried to wipe out chivalry and then they turn around and complain about toxic masculinity 🙄 #but mulder is a wonderful gentleman and i love watching him and scully #tagged #sorry for going off in the tags but i've been wanting to rave about this stuff for a few days now xD

23.5 องศาที่โลกเอียง Episode 06

Well this episode wasn't the apocalyptic thing the name was expecting it to be, but Ongsa's actions really made it seem that way.

I really like that even Sun took this in a better way that any human being would, Ongsa's actions were still present them as wrong.

Actually, Sun took this as a way to keep Ongsa in her life because she was still connecting with her, but in no moment she commented or praised Ongsa for what was done. Romcoms tend to do that and is something that I don't like.

About her anger, I wonder how many episodes are still there, because is possible that she is ok now, controlling her anger but that could come later in any of their problems in the future. Hoping to see this development in future episodes.

BUT, I am going to call bullshit to she show. Do you expect me to believe that lesbian Disaster Ongsa had her crush Sun sleeping in her room, even inches to her and she was really just gonna sleep so candy and if nothing happened? not in a sexual way but she would be flustered at least. I do liked that at the end was Sun the one checking Ongsa sleeping(that sounds bad is very cute actually).

Now my favorite part of the, is Alyin and Alyin and Luna.

Is interesting how much Alyin has grown into caring been part of everything with so little given. At the start of the show she didn't even cared that much for her cousins, but she is now part of the squad, meddling to help her cousin, caring for her, texting Sun and calling her human friend. That doesn't come only for Luna but for herself and how Ongsa and Ongsa's friends has include her and shown her appreciation.

Now, I understand that Luna and Alyin are the side ship but I really wish we have a little more for them. There has been multiple moments in episodes before that we have a linger of their thing but I wished we could follow them more(like Alyin asking Ongsa about aliens hearts but we couldn't follow because we had to focus on Ongsa, and is not bad I do love that part I just wish we have more from there).

I like to point out something I haven't notice point out before, but Luna is catching in her own actions. Yes, she is extremely smooth in her words but the first times she was saying those things to Alyin, she was just smooth with a smile in her face; but both in episode 05 and in this one, she seem to be shy before saying things(like in episode 05 started looking to their joined fingers before saying the things and blushing smiling to her own words).

So yeah is not just Alyin catching feelings for Luna's actions but I am pretty sure Luna is realizing of the things she is saying sound flirty.

star trek update time! last night we watched ds9's "vortex" and "battle lines." mwah. every day i wish tng's pussy could pop like ds9's does.

vortex (ds9):

ANOTHER ODO EPISODE! was i not JUST saying i wish he had more to do

i really really really liked this one...i love that odo has such a strong sense of right and wrong. it would be wrong to take this's guy stone. it would be wrong to release a prisoner he was duty-bound to transport. it would also be wrong to orphan this man's daughter. he has a strict moral code, but it's his own moral code, not starfleet's.

AND it affects the people around him. that guy was totally gonna leave odo for dead and then changed his mind. LOVE that <3

obviously it's sad that this guy is lying, but it's only season 1...AND we got an official species name and a semi-alive stone odo can call "cousin" which is both sad and kind of funny

i liked how when odo wanted answers he went to quark and was threatening and quark was like brushing him off like girl i don't know ANYTHING til he saw odo was serious and then he also got serious. quark isn't always my favorite character bc i dont like the ferengi BUT i DO really like the way he can shift his energy to match the situation instead of remaining rigid - like getting scared when finding out his friends were his game pieces.

some of the alien's digs were sooo mean. my favorite was "THEY (the other changelings) don't keep a humanoid form." really speaks to odo feeling outside of his own community...which means now of course that he's my favoritest specialest little guy. where's that post about star trek characters with autism...he can join the autism gang with spock and data. i think when we get to the end of s1 i'll be ready to do a character rank.

battle lines (ds9):

THIS ONE FUCKED! before getting into the big obvious stuff i actually liked the minor character work it did for bashir - he volunteers to go because "its a slow day 😇" and then proves useful at both flying and repairing the ship, and EVEN got a few rare noncomedic moments in. as much as i love to giggle at this guy i really appreciate they gave him some serious stuff - both wondering if it was ethical to help these people die and then being absolutely disgusted when the folks in question wanted to turn his idea into a weapon for slaughter.

talking to these people is like TALKING TO A WALL. no wonder kira wanted to distance herself from them...and no wonder she recognized herself in them. this whole sitch was practically designed to trigger her ptsd. i love what a great actress she is - she wasn't just crying on cue, she was sobbing with like spit and everything, which is gross, but god damn

more o'brien this episode though imho still not enough. i wanted him to have more stuff to do on ds9. give him something to do!!!

i really really like kai opaka...i'm glad she's not Dead dead but she might as well be. i feel like she's the only kind of person who could get through to those people.

i like where they rolled credits bc it made both of us go DAMN HOLY SHIT aloud but i also wonder what will happen when they go back without the prophet...feels like there'll be hell to pay

TONIGHT, hopefully: tng's "the chase" and ds9's "the storyteller"

^ My initial reaction to the events of The Giggle.

I'm trying not to be too thrown by the absurdity of it, because really the whole show is absurd. The idea of a time traveling phone box that's bigger on the inside and an alien that can regenerate so new actors can play the same character is pretty ridiculous. I'm just used to it because the show's been doing it for 60 years, I've been watching the show for 16 years, and I had an understanding that those concepts were part of it.

Bi-generation isn't really any more absurd; it's just new. So I'm trying not to get too stuck on that.

And I like David Tennant, Ten was my favorite Doctor, so I don't mind the idea of the door being open for him. I'm not entirely clear on whether we'll be seeing any more of him on screen, or if he's just getting his happy ending, but it feels like a big thing to introduce if he's just going to be shelved. (At the very least, they've left open room for Big Finish to tell stories.) Much as I like him, if Tennant occasionally pops up, then I think it will feel a bit like stunt-casting and pandering, even if I'm the one being pandered to.

Ever since Power of the Doctor, I've been hoping that Tennant's return would be setting up a tie-in to Tom Baker's cameo in Day of the Doctor. With his retirement starting, maybe he'll go on to revisit some more old favorite faces and become a curator. I'd be down for that as an interesting story. Though I worry that it, or any other storyline they do with the bi-generation, could distract from Ncuti's introduction and establishing his presence as The Doctor.

I'm left to wonder if they're not confident that fans will stick around for Ncuti so they want to keep people on the hook for David. I'm also not sure how I feel about giving Ncuti the unconventional introduction. Maybe it'll prove to be the right fit for him. I guess time will tell on that front.

One thing about these specials is that they didn't feel much like events to me. Day of the Doctor, Power of the Doctor, and even Journey's End felt more like special events. These three mostly just felt like regular episodes. The Giggle came closest to feeling like an event. Although the regeneration (bi-generation) felt like an underwhelming moment, narratively. And we all know RTD and Murray Gold are capable of delivering emotionally resonant scenes. I feel like Ncuti's very sudden introduction so far lacks weight compared to most of the others. None of the new Doctors ever get much in their first scene, but they come in as part of a big emotional moment. I don't think I like that Ncuti didn't really get that. Hopefully his first proper story can give him more of a chance to make an impact. That's always where a new Doctor really gets to establish theirself.

And I guess we sort of got the new Doctor in the old Doctor's outfit this time. Though I find it frustrating that RTD is fine with having Ncuti run around in his underpants, but felt like putting David in Jodie's outfit would've been "taking the mickey."

I probably need more time to sit with the new ideas and get used to them. I'm someone who very much enjoyed the Timeless Child story (and wished they did more with it,) so I know I can get into new concepts shaking up the lore, but this seems like it's gonna take a bit more time for me to adjust to.

#Doctor Who #my first thoughts on this #doctor who spoilers

[mulderwearingglasses]

In 2020, I lost my grandma to COVID-19.

I had already lost the parts of her who knew me to Alzheimer’s.

But many years before, she was my summer salvation. My mom was a working single mom so that meant summers were spent nestled in my grandma’s little house. She’d cut me up apple slices and pass them to me on tiny plates to eat inside blanket forts and take me to the library and the ice cream shop and buy ladybugs at the garden store so I could watch them fly in the backyard. We watched cartoons and cooked messes together. By this point, her husband was long gone so I like to think that we both gave each other something those summers. Companionship and simple joys to pass our hot, lazy days.

To me, she was a quintessential grandmotherly figure: she had perfect wrinkles, a soft and warm body, sweet temperament. I can’t remember her raising her voice. Only soft-spoken, simple smiles.

As an adult now, I recognize I didn’t know much about her. I knew what she ordered at the ice cream shop and what her soft snores sounded like when she fell asleep on the couch next to me, but I didn’t know what she was afraid of or what her proudest moment was or what the last thing that made her cry was.

I did know the X-Files was her favorite show. Not because we watched it together - she’d turn the channel back to cartoons whenever I came into the room and say it was too scary for me.

I didn’t really know what the X-Files were growing up other than it was a show about aliens. I assumed because my sweet, mild-mannered grandma liked it, it wasn’t something of interest to me.

I didn’t give the show much thought until my grandma died. I was talking about her with my mom and remembering all the little things I could, recounting my favorite times with her. How she worked at a chocolate shop and we’d visit her and she’d sneak me pieces of candy. Her shuffling gait, the way her shoes barely left the ground and she’d marched forward in tiny, deliberate steps.

“And she loved The X-Files” my mom had said.

Oh yeah, I remembered.

By this time, I was in my mid-20s and had grown into exactly who I wanted to: a macabre, little writer who loved Halloween, the paranormal and all things spooky.

“Isn’t the X-Files about aliens? It just seems like a show grandma wouldn’t have liked,” I’d said. “She was so sweet and, I don’t know, I never heard her talk about aliens and she didn’t like scary things and I can’t remember her talking about the fantastical or anything.”

“Yeah, I never watched it either,” my mom said “But your grandma loved that show. I guess it’s hard to fully know someone. But you know what she always said. ‘There’s so much we don’t know.’”

And I laughed remembering the phrase my grandma frequently uttered after a lull in conversation, when she’d stare off into space.

One night shortly after my grandma died, I was stuck inside during the pandemic and missing my family. I had moved away years before and felt disconnected from mourning our matriarch. I couldn’t even fly home to see her because of the virus.

So I started watching The X-Files. And, oh my god, it was just the kind of show I would lose my mind over. Government conspiracies and supernatural spooks and an emphasis on belief and trust and vulnerability and, not to mention, two hot idiots in love?? I was hooked. I became obsessed with this show during a very weird time in my life, and the more I watched, the more I imagined my grandma feeling the same. We must have been so much more alike than I knew. I wished I could ask her what she thought about UFOs and what her favorite episode was and what episode freaked her out the most and what season of Mulder she thought was the hottest (season 1, Duh)

I found the X-Files fan fic community and now look for X-Files treasures every time I step into a thrift store (some great finds!!) and play my favorite episodes almost every night. I feel the soft warmth of my grandma with me when I do.

And whenever I watch a scene or episode where I’m like “man, I can’t believe my unassuming little grandma loved this show” I always smile to myself and think “there’s so much we don’t know”

#just was thinking about my grandma today and wanted to thank you all for making this space where I could find her again #and find a show that could become a personality trait of course #txf #the xfiles #xfiles #x files

Hey I'm old asf and have only seen up to the Peter Capaldi debut, nothing past that and I'm a basic bitch who favorite doctors are the 10th and 11th shshfs, but I wanted to know your thoughts on two of my favorite moments because I haven't thought about doctor who in such a long time and you resparked something in me!

I think the two episodes I still remember to this day and have stuck with me were silence in the library because of the sheer terror it gave me(I still get nervous seeing two shadows sbdjsnd ) and the rings of akhatan purely for the 11th doctors speech, that shits fuckin beautiful, that speech is still single handedly my favorite scene in any show or movie and I dont remember half of the show itself, that specific speech is just so raw and powerful

I hope you know I'm gonna be rewatching this amazing show and probably work up to the latest episodes entirely because of you!

Hi!

First, this made my day 💕 and I'm really glad that you're gonna rewatch everything ^^.

Those 2 episodes are absolutely fantastic. Silence in the library made me afraid of my shadows for years after it aired! And it's also the introduction of one of my favourite Doctor Who Character, River Song. Something I find interesting is that at first you could only watched the episode from the point of view of the doctor but now that we've seen all of River's story, we can only watch it from her point of view. We went from meeting this strange woman who sacrificed herself to save the doctor, and being intrigued by her. What we thought was what the doctor was thinking. To now knowing everything about her and the way she thinks and feels, we're seeing the doctor not recognising her and we can feel her pain about it, and st the end when she sacrifices herself we see the doctor's distress from her point of view, we know, we get her. Like, the shift in pov is so cool.

The ring of Akhaten is what I wish more episodes would be. Not storywise, no. It's a beautiful story, but it's not what I'm gonna focus on here. What I truly love about it is the number of species we're seeing. And they're just living their life, yes they're here for a specific event, but they're still random people who are aliens. It decenters humans from being the neutral elements. Those aliens are not here to hurt anyone; they're just here. And I know the reason it's not done more is because of money and time. That's a lot of prosthetics to apply! But it just feels magical to look at this market, you feel so small.

And yes that speech is just one of the most memorable one of the whole show for me too!

#charlie is rambling #i could have given you my basic review for the plots #but if you like my blog you know that's not what I prefer to do #I like details and storytelling devices #and more than that I like what feelings those creat in me

[nebulouscoffee]

For the ship ask game: Worf/Bashir; Deanna/K'Ehleyr; The O'Brien's/Data; Kasidy Yates/Ro Laren!

Ooooh thanks for all these interesting picks!! (What I'm learning is, either you guys are just extremely good at coming up with ships, or I am a chaotic multishipper who will ship literally anything fhjdskhjfs)

Worf/Julian Bashir- ship it

What made you ship it?

That dart board scene from Way of the Warrior. I didn't even particularly want to ship it, I just have eyes😂

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Yes, Worf's canonical opinion of Julian is "He is a child who plays with toys", but I actually think- if the right situations arose and he got to see Julian as more than just "arrogant chatterbox" and "guy who still has feelings for Jadzia"- Worf would realise to his horror that Julian has a LOT of qualities he's consistently been shown to admire, even some he wishes he could exhibit so readily, like the fearless opposition of authority figures (remember the TNG s4 finale when the Klingon High Council asked Worf to kill that kid saying it was "the Klingon way" and he said "but it is not MY way"? Julian does this kind of thing all the time lol! And with little to no hesitation. Worf is rarely around to witness it, but it's so funny to imagine him being caught off-guard like 👀... girl that honour tho👀 👀)

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Idk if it's unpopular necessarily, but I love putting Worf in polycules and I disagree that he's too monogamous to make it work! I think Worf gets jealous and possessive when someone he's agreed to a monogamous relationship with starts flirting with other people, but if these were always the terms right from the beginning, he'd honour them. Anyway I enjoy a LOT of Worf polycules haha, but the ones that involve Julian are Worf/Dax/Bashir, Worf/Dax/Sisko/Bashir, and (my new personal favourite) Worf/Martok/Garak/Bashir. (Mutual who infected me with that last one, thank you, you know who you are😂)

Deanna Troi/K'Ehleyr- ship it

What made you ship it?

TROI: I didn't know it was possible for a human and a Klingon to produce a child.  K'EHLEYR: Actually, the DNA is compatible, with a fair amount of help. Rather like my parents.  TROI: I know exactly what you mean. My father was human and my mother is a Betazoid.  K'EHLEYR: Really? It was the other way around for me. My mother was human. You must've grown up like I did, trapped between cultures.  TROI: I never felt trapped. I tried to experience the richness and diversity of the two worlds.  K'EHLEYR: Perhaps you got the best of each. Myself, I think I got the worst of each.  TROI: Oh, I doubt that. 

The first time I watched this, I took Deanna's comment at face value- but, both earlier and later episodes explicitly state that Deanna often felt out of place on Betazed, & her sheer discomfort every time Lwaxana comes on board (especially with the way she talks telepathically, which Deanna considers "rude") suggests that she isn't being completely honest here. Which is fascinating! (Truly, having 90s Trek women blorbos is taking inconsistencies and building elaborate webs of explanatory insecurities lmaoo)

What are your favorite things about the ship?

I am a sucker for alien cultures and worldbuilding and the internal worlds of characters who inhabit and oscillate between those worlds, & I've noticed most of the ships I think about a lot are either human/alien or alien/alien (I can project way more easily onto those haha). So Deanna/K'Ehleyr is a goldmine in that regard

(Also, I just love dynamics where a "tough" character has a surprising amount of respect for a softer, more empathetic character)

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don't know the prevailing opinions on this ship, so I shall once again invoke the Worf Polycule Rule and say K'Ehleyr should have lived and been a recurring character and Deanna's "we hook up every time you're on board the Enterprise" and she and Worf would still have needed Deanna's help raising Alexander S5 onwards so this eventually would've led to Worf/Troi/K'Ehleyr

Miles O'Brien/Keiko Ishikawa/Data- ship it

What made you ship it?

I'm gonna be honest- I had never even thought about this before today, so it was in fact this ask that made me ship it. Thanks!😂

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Well, it allows me to reinterpret a lot of the early Miles/Keiko content in a less "traditional married couple" way, which- as presented on the show, always felt a bit dated for the 24th century lol.

Okay, I'm thinking... We know Keiko was Data's friend first, and it was him who introduced her to Miles, right? So what if she and him originally met because Data was experimenting with having a love life and Keiko saw his profile on Enterprise-D Tinder or whatever and thought "hey, that sweet android man from the arboretum! Why not?" And they ended up making dinner in each other's quarters, infodumping about plants, having sex a few times, no strings attached (I genuinely feel like Keiko would be one of the least weird people about Data's whole No Emotions thing). Meanwhile Miles is grumbling in Ten Forward after a music recital that his life is sort of at a standstill, and he's a bit lonely, he just wants someone to come home to- and Data (the only person listening, naturally, which leads to a one night stand lol) suddenly has the thought- why not set him up with Keiko? And thus- the iconic, infamous, two-show-spanning O'Brien polycule begins.😂 (Jokes aside, Data probably steps out of this arrangement after a bit, once he realises they are deeply in love and headed towards an eventual marriage-with-children situation, and that's how he ends up giving Keiko away at the wedding)

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Are there even... opinions on this one? I guess I could voice what is perhaps an unpopular opinion about Data, which is- I don't actually think he and Geordi ever slept together at any point during TNG. To me, they are one of those "they've never kissed but they are married" situations- like they are way too dependant on each other to risk their friendship like that! I do think Data could've been hooking up with more people than shown in canon, but it was always arrangements like this- ones he could end at any point with minimum damage and no hurt feelings. Geordi is much too close to him for this; but being the O'Briens' third from time to time? Definitely could happen

Kasidy Yates/Ro Laren- ship it

What made you ship it?

Writing a fic about them! (It is one of the many, many Fully Written Fics I Cannot Post, and I am so annoyed with myself hahaha)

What are your favorite things about the ship?

[spoilers for DS9: For The Cause and TNG: Preemptive Strike below]

They are both so unapologetic about their Maquis collaborations it makes me insane! Like, when Ben finds out, Kasidy is sorry about the lying to him part- but the show never makes her realise she was wrong to help those people, or even apologise to him. Same with Ro- when she betrays the crew, Riker just sort of understands (and doesn't even seem that surprised when she turns her phaser on him!) She regrets having to let them down, but not what she felt she had to do for the Maquis (and the Bajorans in it). It's really fun to imagine their paths crossing at some point- maybe Ro was captured by Starfleet and they end up in the same prison after 'FTC'; maybe Kasidy and Ben just never fully rekindle their relationship (not even necessarily because of her betrayal, there's also her clear disapproval of his actions in 'Rapture' and 'TDDUP' to consider) and she finds a much freer existence in the Maquis with Ro? (Breaks my Sisko/Kasidy heart a little, but still. It's interesting🥲) Of course, if we want a less messy more wholesome alternative, she and Ro only meet post-canon - Ro's lost her Maquis family and wants to help deliver aid to the Bajoran diaspora & victims of the Dominion War, Kasidy's trying to pick her life back up after Ben left her. They go on to have many adventures together in their freighter🥰

(The freedom they could give each other to be unrepentant about their criminal behaviour, basically! Literal #BeGayDoCrime ship)

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Despite everything I said above, I think they would actually have their fair share of disagreements. They're both in so much pain! Maybe Kasidy wants to deliver supplies to the civilians suffering on Cardassia Prime, and Ro isn't happy about it. Maybe Ro tries to comfort her with the idea that Ben's still around as a borhya, and it massively backfires. Maybe Kasidy finds Ro's guilt over letting Picard down grating, maybe she projects some of her anger at Ben onto Ro. They'd probably have a lot of weirdly cutting guilt-trippy arguments and passive aggressive makeup sex. But they would still give each other the space to talk, and cry, and like, be angry

#ask game #thanks again for sending in such interesting choices! #none of these are OTPs that I like *actively* ship exactly #more 'they are fun/interesting to rotate in my brain from time to time' #so I really had fun thinking up these answers :D #(also yes the d4ta/obriens theory doesn't really mesh perfectly continuity-wise since this is long before 'in theory' but shhh)

[sculptural-renaissance]

SGU Week Day 4 (oh are we still doing this): Favorite shi

Eli and Ginn were precious, and it's criminal that we didn't get more of them. C r i m i n a l . To say nothing of that double-fridging (that they did twice... ffs).

I like to think that Ginn would be all in for going to earth, and she eventually gets her wish after her file is removed from quarantine (with a sweet clone body grown from DNA harvested from her old clothes, which were initially saved to be backup clothing for some of the ladies on board Destiny, but later saved for cloning purposes [yes I'm aware this means her body would have been buried in some state of undress, but it was off camera anyway so it's fiiiiiiiine]).

Y'all say what y'all like about Family Guy, but the cutaways have tons of cultural references (I am frequently "Peter Griffin Explains the Joke when I watch with my husband). My thought is that Eli shows Ginn episodes of Family Guy to teach her about earth, which you can imagine leads to some pretty ridiculous misunderstandings.

Please do not enjoy this excerpt from The Eli Wallace Guide to Getting a Cute and Smart 3D Girlfriend

A while back, whilst hunting for meme fodder, I found a mean article written back around when SGU was airing. The gist of it was basically that Ginn was too "pretty" for Eli, and that a "schlubby" guy like him didn't deserve to be with someone conventionally attractive. Idk, maybe I'm old, but I think they're around the same level of cuteness. Also, bear in mind that in the past, having some extra weight was considered a sign of wealth and a positive trait. Eli's body type could easily be a selling point for Ginn, who is apparently interested enough in leaving the Space Cartel that she's willing to risk her life for it. To her, Eli is sweet, smart, cute, and her ticket to a life so cushy that luxuries she can't even imagine are considered commonplace. He's the entire package. 🧡

Look, I'm not creative. This is verbatim from Family Guy, but it's funny as hell, so it's going in the post.

This is Vital Information, mainly because Eli is definitely dragging her to a comic con at the first opportunity. God, imagine being an alien and going to a con, and it looks no different from that trading post you used to go to every month

Gotta learn about Halloween, AKA the best holiday! I do wonder what kind of holiday celebrations they might try to have on the Destiny in some hypothetical future where they can get supplies from earth, especially with all those Lucian Alliance members from various other planets. Obviously not something worth showing in a show that was mainly focused on survival, but it's a fun idea for fics.

And yes, at this point, Family Guy is the only TV show Ginn knows, except for the ones they mention on the show.

Please enjoy the references to Mean Girls and Parks & Rec.

Apparently raisins are a universal constant, too, which is good because I love them and will tolerate no raisin-slander on my page

"Shut up, Eli, you don't have a band." Fr tho "Spaceship Full of Bees" is an awesome band name

This is actually one of the shorter "episodes" I've done, in which Dale gets the bright idea to keep bees on a spaceship. I looked it up, and you can't keep honeybees inside, not even in a greenhouse, because they need more space than that to roam around. Maybe they could genetically engineer some that are suitable for pollinating weird space plants on a starship. No way will that hilariously backfire. Ginn is clearly familiar with the steroid bees, so she will probably think they're normal.

Dale's other idea is to get chickens. Maybe they can get some domestic space quail instead. They're smaller.

"So after we finished Family Guy, we watched some of The Cleveland Show. Then, when I took her to the zoo, she threw a beer into the bear enclosure, and that's how we both got lifetime bans from The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo."

But yeah imagine learning all this random pop culture info from some raunchy cartoon so you can fit in on an alien planet, but no one bothers telling you that the second-most common pet on that planet can't talk. Good luck to everyone when Ginn meets a parrot...

My heart is pounding at the thought of last night’s episode. For certain people and scenes at least. I’ve given up hope that these posts will be short, so if you want to read my thoughts on 4x02, grab some tea and maybe a snack, because I have quiet a few opinions.

First thing’s first. I’m just going to say what we’re all thinking; Walt and Arturo are wonderful. Arturo’s whole, “Looks delicious, you’re hired” had me giggling for the first time since Alex’s, “And I’m eating Wheaties” last season. And Walt. Listen. Alex has been called many things throughout the show, but Walt calling him “pretty-lookin’ fella” is my absolute favorite. Anyone who acknowledges Alex’s good looks and beautiful heart is a freaking genius in my book. I’ve been calling Alex “pretty” in my fics since the dawn of time, and I can’t even begin to describe how satisfying it was to have Walt, of all people, be the one to bring it to life with such a casual tone, like of course he’s pretty, what’re you kidding me? This must be how authors feel when their books are adapted onto the big screen.

Anyway. That’s really where the laughs end for me. I’m probably going to get a lot of crap for this, but Anatsa’s so annoying. Okay, hear me out. On the one hand, I get that she’s a reporter and this is her job, the main character in my original novel The Wolf King is a journalist who wants the truth, so I get it. I really don’t dislike her at all, in fact if she was starring in her own show or something, I think she’d be a really fun and cool character. On the other, she’s an outsider to our little group, and she’s putting people I already know and love in difficult positions. I don’t want her to stay with Isobel, so I don’t want her to know the truth. I’m just waiting for this tedious, awkward relationship to end already.

I love that Isobel wanted to see Kyle and was crestfallen when she’d seen him on a date with someone else. I love kybel so I really can’t wait till we get to those two together. Kyle is awesome as always. I have to mention that.

Listen. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with the guest stars, I’m sure they’re all very nice people and great actors, it’s just that there are always so damn many of them, and I am sick to death of the excess subplots. I really, really, really, really, really don’t care about Liz’s students. The one guest star who I legitimately am upset did not show up in season 2 (you know, when we were supposed to find out about the Awakening) was that doctor lady. I feel bad for having forgotten her name considering she’s the only one whose character is really unique and cool. I’m just so done with everyone else though. Respectfully.

Before I get to the Alex stuff that I always save till the end because I want to go off on a good note, I want to talk for just a second about that scene between Michael and Alex in front of the console. Admittedly, it really bugged me for a lot of the episode that Michael seemed willing to let Alex be away from home for a longer time so that he didn’t have to give up a piece of glass. I know the glass is important to him, but I wished he cared more about Alex leaving. Luckily though, they do address that at the end of the episode, and acknowledge it, and Michael makes up for it, which I was really grateful for.

There is a moment in the promo, however, for next week’s episode in which Michael basically implies that these aliens might not be the enemy, and I’m really, really hoping that that scene happens before he realizes that they took Alex. Because if these people kidnapped Alex, and Michael still considers that they might be good guys -- even if they didn’t know about the kidnapping and they are good guys -- but if Michael wonders, then I will be so, painfully disappointed. They took his Alex. They are the enemy in that instance, they can’t be anything else, not to him. So I hope for the best.

Now for everything to do with Alex. I love the opening scene, the way Michael and Alex are together as Alex talks to Deep Sky, I love love love the fact that Alex and Max and Dallas had sat down together to discuss plans -- I’ve been waiting for something like this since season 1 -- and I absolutely love the amount of time we got Alex on screen. As always, I wish we had him for the entire episode, but I’m really glad I didn’t have to wait long to see him.

Now. About him leaving, I love the way they did it, it was such a relief, and here’s why. We knew Alex was going to be off-screen for a bit because Tyler was having back problems at the time of filming and ultimately needed back surgery, so we knew Alex was going to leave for a time. I only pleaded that it wouldn’t be because he and Michael had broken up for whatever reason. They might still do that, I’m praying they don’t, but I said I would be fine if they faced whatever came as a couple, and that seems to be the direction the writers are going in, so thank the gods.

It gets better though, because even as Alex drove out of Roswell, I was brokenhearted, but the way they did it, with him being taken in the end, keeps him involved in the story in a much bigger way.

So it’s not like, Oh Alex just texted, he said he found some interesting readings blah blah blah. Alex being taken could be, what I’m desperately hoping for, the reason that Michael goes undercover in the first place. What I’m hoping happens is that the group talks like we saw them do in the promo for next week’s episode, Michael gets word that Alex’s car was left behind, that he’d vanished, and that they found traces of alien so the aliens took him, and that prompts Michael to go undercover in order to find Alex.

I’m hoping for the whole season 2 thing done right this time. I want the entire group to worry about him the way they freaking obsessed over Maria, I want everyone to actually care about what happens to him, I want Michael to go ballistic and never leave his side again.

I want this season to be the writers’ attempt to right the wrongs of season 2, do it better. And without a certain showrunner around, I have hope that they just might.

Cowboy Bebop #5: “Ballad of Fallen Angels” | November 21, 1998 | S01E05 Adult Swim premiere: September 10, 2001 - 12:30AM

Could it be that watching five episodes of a show in a row takes it’s toll on a viewer not cut out for binge-watching, or could it be that episodes that end with a fairly context-free montage of backstory can alienate the viewer, especially if they just got done writing up the previous episode while sucking the show’s dick for being the right amount of episodic?

This one does deal with Spike’s past as referred to in other episodes. In episode one the cold open of the show was a similar, context-free and somber montage of tragic stuff happening. Here we get to see slightly more of it at the end of this episode, and I’m guessing we’ll pick up more as the show goes along. Spike was involved in a crime syndicate and, as mentioned in another episode, he “died” three years ago, presumably meaning he faked his death or was presumed dead or he changed his identity or whatever.

On an episodic level this episode is mostly about Faye going off on her own to capture a bounty, getting in over her head, and Spike needing to rescue her. He only does this for aforementioned personal reasons. But this one sorta does drag next to the others. But for all my moaning about modern television being too serialized, I guess this is still pretty normal. You do episodes that are episodic ripping yarns and then after you do several of those you stick in one that deals with the deep lore of the show. Then for the series finale you use those deep lore episodes as a guide for how to end the thing. I guess this is that.

MAIL BAG

do you enjoy marvel movies

Look, does part of me wish I never watched a single Marvel movie so I could say “nah man, shit sucks”. Yes. Most parts of me wish that. But the truth is, I’ve seen, I THINK, every one from Iron Man to Endgame. I abstained from a lot of them until Covid unemployment and Disney+ were a thing and after my tenth Criterion Channel movie I’d be like “let’s watch something I don’t actually have to all-the-way look at the screen for”.

They are okay. Not my favorite shit. I think maybe three of them are actually good? First Iron Man, First Guardians of the Galaxy and the first Ant Man are all really fun solid movies. Wait, Thor Ragnarok is pretty good too.

About once a year I get the urge to go see a major motion picture blockbuster style film in theaters and I’ll pick whichever one looks most palatable and see it, and because I’m in that mindset I’ll come home and give an 8.0 rating on IMDB. I’m still haunted by over-rated marvel movies in my IMDB rating history. I think I gave Captain Marvel an 8.0 because of this.

How many have there been since Endgame, anyway? Fuuuuck dude. I’m not saying I wanna watch them again, but I would for like, some sort of fundraising stunt. And I get to keep the money. Maybe we call it MARVEL FOR MILLIONS?? And I get to have several million dollars after I do it? I can buy a nice house and not let anyone ever come over?? Does this sound good to anyone else??

To be honest… as a sibling, I agree with you about the WARnerGAMES beginning dialogue. Most siblings may joke around, but wishing death upon another “as a joke” is not funny at all. I didn’t finish watching the rest of the episodes I was really bummed out. The reason I watched the reboot was to see the Warner siblings because they were my favorite, and it’s just weird that they have become very alien. This last season I ended up enjoying pinky and the brain more than the warners because of this.

It’s a shame that it discouraged you from watching the rest of the season. I think everything after those lines is some of the best of Animaniacs, period (besides the ending to the show). However, I also totally get being turned off by it. I still haven’t been able to make myself read or write fanfics, even the best ones that have been put out recently. I've read two fanfics and written three sentences of my own since I posted my "fix-it" fix for WARnerGAMES. The emotions aren’t hitting for me like they used to, like I really want them to. I think my emotions on season 3 are still raw, and I’ll get back to normal with time. I desperately hope so, anyway. Right now I just have kind of a mental block that prevents me from getting invested.

Thanks for chiming in as a fellow sibling.

Wishlist for DSC Season 5

1. Bryce, Rhys, Nelson and Dr. Pollard. We REALLY need to develop these 4. Bryce and Rhys have a little bit of development, but I need more. I don't know anything about Nelson and Dr. Pollard. They should do a bridge crew episode where we see a flashback of them at the Academy and then flash to current time, and they're on an away mission, with Michael overseeing the mission from Discovery.

2. Exploring the 32nd century. This era is really interesting, but we haven't fleshed out this era well enough. Truthfully, I thought season 4 would do this now that Michael is captain. Fingers crossed for S5.

3. More new aliens. The El Shein and 10-C were dope! I want more new aliens. In S4 E7, But to Connect, we saw some new aliens, so maybe getting more of those aliens.

4. Book's redemption arc. I've been thinking about how DSC can do this: while Book is helping people displaced by the DMA, the person that is over seeing him is a retired Starfleet captain. The captain would be a black man, around the age Book's father would be. I specified his race and gender because 1) we know Book didn't have a good relationship with his father and 2) I've seen some black male fans say they wish we got to see more black male captains. Overtime, this character becomes a mentor/father figure to Book. With the help of this relationship, Book is able to find a new purpose in life and is able to come to an understanding of weight a Starfleet captain has. This will open his eyes to understanding the precarious position he put Michael in as a captain and as the woman that loves him. This is where Book can genuinely make amends with her and the crew.

5. (Update) Michael and Book fully reconcile thier relationship. Look, this is my favorite couple and DSC writers need to fix what they did to my couple. I imagine we won't see them together until end of the next season, but when they reunite, I do need it to be earned. Book didn't just break laws, he took advantage of Michael (and the crew's) trust. Granted, Michael loves Book but he did cross some serious lines that need to be amended in order for this couple to return to being the healthy couple we got on season 3.

[emma-is-swaggy-and-epic]

Hey y'all, just got back from watching the rest of manlybadasshero's omori lets play and i thought i'd share some of my thoughts about the game! (NEEDLESS TO SAY, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!)

So let's get one SUPER ULTRA MEGA BIG thing out of the way first, i would've 100% enjoyed my experience a lot more if i wasn't such a huge scatterbrain and spoiled the big twist at the end for myself. Though in my defense i kinda wasn't expecting the game to get so popular so quick when it first came out, i first heard of the game through manly and i thought it was just another obscure indie game like what he always plays. Aside from that though....I LOVED IT!!!!! It tugged at my heartstrings with it's accurate portrayal of mental illness and the heartwarming moments between sunny and his friends, it really reminded me of my own childhood in a lot of ways. I've found myself relating to all the characters in some sort of way, especially aubrey. Idk....just the way she lashed out on others throughout the game really spoke to me in a weird way......either that or it's just because i like rebellious characters in general (the fact that she has a pet bunny is a plus for me, i love bunnies!)

Ngl, i don't cry to video games often....i'm pretty sure the only games i've ever cried to are undertale and pokemon sword but even then, i was crying about pokemon sword because i was proud of myself for completing the game....and honestly, i'm glad omori is one of those games that make me emotional like that...even if i already knew sunny killed mari, even if i already knew basil killed himself in one of the endings. Though that could also be because my dog wouldn't shut the fuck up while i was watching the last few episodes and i was just stressed out about that

If i had to pick: i feel like i prefer headspace over real world, i was an undertale kid back in the day so i love me some quirky characters and fun worlds! Though tbh i feel like omocat WANTED her players to like headspace more since she explicitly said at one point that she specifically wanted to make omori a game so that people would be able to FEEL what sunny was feeling (that's the best way i can explain it i guess) that being said; i'd say my favorite characters are aubrey, spaceboy and recyclepath. I've already said what i've wanted to say about aubrey earlier but aside from that, i think she's really cool and VERY me-core! Same goes for spaceboy, i'm a huge sucker for bright colors and space-themed characters. Not to mention recyclepath is a really unique character, i've never seen a character based ENTIRELY on recycling before! Plus his coat and glasses remind me a LOT of oliver tree and i mean....hey, i like songs like alien boy and life goes on lmao

Ngl while i DID get the endings spoiled for me, there was still a lot of stuff that was a HUGE surprise for me! Like BRO I HAD NO IDEA KEL AND HERO HAD A BABY SISTER!!!! I mean....i DO vaguely remember someone mention sally in a youtube comment section but i had no idea what they were talking about and i was kinda just confused (iirc i may have even thought that kel and hero having a sister was just a weird dream i had) but i mean hey....as the youngest sister of 3 siblings who was born when my mom was in her 40's myself, i appreciate the representation! /hj

I actually first got into omori because a good friend of mine was into it, it started when he changed his pfp on discord to basil and we had a really short conversation about the game afterwards. A while later i saw an omori edit in my youtube rec and i thought "oh yay it's that game my friend likes! Let's watch it!" And the rest, as they say, is history! Dunno why the fuck it took me a whole ass year to finish the damn playthrough though

Speaking of which, i DEFINITELY wish that manly showed the hikkikomori route bosses in his playthrough. Seeing thoses cutscenes of the slime girls creating roboheart, mutantheart and perfectheart REALLY got me pumped to see the boss fights! Oh well....

All in all, omori is a SPECTACULAR game and i'm glad i decided to check it out! 9/10!

[thegeminisage]

ok, i have a lot of extremely important stuff to do today, but nothing and i mean nothing is more important than this latest tng update. sunday we did "first contact" and "galaxy's child" which was so bad it came close to making me skip my first tng ever and then last night we watched "night terrors" and "identity crisis" which sent me to fucking mars. let's do this

first contact: what a wild episode. my favorite bit in the world is "humans are aliens." it's never not funny. it was funny when they did it in farscape and it's funny when they do it in star trek. i was having a great time. they hold up one of riker's hands and wiggle those strange alien appendages (fingers). gasps all around. "what ARE these?" "a birth defect." points for trying, buddy. he stayed with it until the bitter end

i do wish this had been a funny episode instead of a serious one about space bigotry and alien republicans. the premise is hilarious and the seriousness of the tone, and knowing that in any other context i WOULD have been taking it seriously and enjoying it, kind of brought down the mood a little.

i have mixed feelings about riker's whole deal with that alien lady, tbh. i love watching riker suck and fuck his way out of situations. i love how down to clown he is. unfortunately he didn't seem very down there which turns what could have been an outrageous and fun riker slut moment into a close encounter of the space babes, and i don't really want riker to have any close encounters with space babes. i just want him to have a good time. like did they play it for laughs? yes. and was her fetishisizing him as an ~aaallliiieeenn~ hilarious? also yes. but he literally put his boots back on. and so i just have a hard time finding it as funny as the writers did. i would have been over the moon if this happened to kirk though we could have added it to our slideshow

that said watching him lift up that huge bench preparing to break the window with it was great. he's really strong. good for him.

galaxy's child: i think the only episode worse than this one was code of honor. and at least during code of honor i knew what to expect. i knew everyone said tng seasons 1 and 2 were bad. this blindsided me. it made me incoherent with with rage. catherine straight up stopped watching and let me do the back half on 2x speed.

speaking of seasons 1 and 2, i went and checked and the writer for this episode wrote primarily season 1 and season 2 episodes. they they let this person back i'll never fucking know.

the b plot to this was passable, actually. i liked the pregnant space whale thing even though i thought picard was kind of holding the idiot ball about it. i think it could have been really good in a different episode.

i can't even begin to articulate my thoughts on geordi and leah. it's easily one of the worst examples of star trek aging poorly...in 1991 they had no idea we'd be fighting these battles for real, but today in 2024 we absolutely know it is wrong to use a version of a person's face and body, without their consent, for your own emotional and physical gratification. and the fact that they had kind, easygoing geordi not only do this but then be a huge creep once he met the real woman is already bad, but they didn't even use it as an aesop moment where the moral is not to do that, because even though she yelled at him and told him how violated she felt, she immediately apologized afterwards???

it's just like the barclay episode. fucking real women in the holodecks is embarrassing but not immoral??? but this is totally different from having fantasties in the privacy of your head. he pulled information about her from the fucking computer! christ i'm so glad she turned out to be married. i'm going to try to forgive geordi bc it's not his fault they gave him this shit plot device twice but eeeugh.

night terrors: i literally deserved this. i EARNED this. after the sheer torture of last episode i needed nothing more than whatever the FUCJ this was

firstly for context i had had about two hours of sleep and been awake since 5am while watching this episode. that everyone else in this episode was also profoundly sleep deprived was a source of unending fucking joy to me

i spent half this episode shouting JUST LIKE THOLIAN WEB and then was briefly devastated when it was not in fact the tholians but they delivered in the form of scaring me silly

people hearing things that werent there. picards doorbell pranking him and then the KNOCK AT THE DOOR. the elevator trying to squish picard. SPACE GHOSTS. i was so happy

untill. the scene in the morgue

if you havent watched it then well don't read any further. but beverly is in the morgue and she's looking at all the bodies and then all of a sudden all of them sit up. in the body bags. they moved and they weren't supposed to be moving because they were dead. i may have screamed out loud. i definitely had to pause the episode. i will be thinking about it for the rest of my life. the episode ever. i can never watch it again because what if it's not as good when i've had an adequate amount of sleep? better to leave it as an extremely fond and terrifying memory.

anyway whatever cgi they did to put deanna in that dream was so funny. i hope it looked great in 1991

OH AND I NEARLY FORGOT. her talking worf down from suicide. fueling my riker e deanna e worf ambitions <3

identity crisis: this one was also scary because 1. geordi was with a woman and 2. that invisible shadow thing

luckily the woman brotherzoned geordi within the first 5 seconds (wise) and geordi almost turning into an invisible blacklight guy did a lot to redeem him in my eyes. cuz i dont WANT to dislike him yk thats like the reading rainbow guy

anyway the little invisible shadow in the footage/the holodeck got me bc at first i couldnt even see it. and then i did see it and i got scared about what it belonged to. and then geordi made that little invislbe blob and AAAA it was STANDING THERE even though nobody could SEE IT and i hated when he did it in the holodeck and i hated that planet and

oh yeah everybodys uniforms kept getting shredded. i thought the planet was trying to fuck them or something i didn't like that. but they were just naked bc they had to be naked to be invisible. and i didn't like that either but it was better than the alternate but it was all very frightening

anyway the makeup/special effects in that episode were VERY good, 10/10

TONIGHT: "the nth degree" and "qpid," which i am dreading already <3

For the TV show ask - Roswell NM 😍😍

favorite male character:

Alex Manes. I love him with my whole heart. And, no matter how much this show has frustrated me, I watch for him.

favorite female character:

Probably Isobel? She's trying to become a better person and I love that about her.

least favorite character:

Maria. I actually loved her for a lot longer than a lot of the fans did. But she pursued a relationship with the man she knew Alex was in love with. She didn't talk to Alex about it until after they broke up the first time. And then she said that they were even because Alex didn't out the aliens to her which. Then there was 206. It doesn't help that the show acts like she's an actual saint. I literally screamed at the TV when they asked what she had ever done wrong in 403 and couldn't come up with anything. Everyone else fucks up and acknowledges it. So this makes it worse.

prettiest character:

Alex. I mean, come on. He's too pretty. How is it that no one acknowledged it until Sanders did in 402?

funniest character:

Um... Probably Kyle. But, really, this show isn't super funny.

favorite season:

Season 1, probably. The first half was pretty consistent and it still had some good episodes. And didn't spend time trying to convince us that Maria has done nothing wrong ever in her life.

favorite episode:

I don't know. Maybe 112?

favorite romantic ship:

Malex.

favorite family ship:

The Ortechos!

favorite friend ship:

Kyle and Alex. Easily the healthiest friendship on the show. I love the way Alex holds Kyle accountable for his past actions. And the way Kyle is so dedicated to being a better person. I love how they show up to support each other. I wish the show would give us more of them.

worst ship:

Michael, Alex, and Maria. I'm fine with people shipping them or who saw that scene differently than I did (just please tag it for the sake of those of us who need to be able to blacklist it), but, my god, the way parts of the fandom and the showrunner herself responded to fans being triggered by that... I will never stop being pissed about that. And the way they responded to us also triggered me.

Okay, now I'm in my panicky place, so... I'm gonna go. Thanks for the ask though!!!
