#anti paige

[pippa-fitz-amobi]

I'm rewatching Pretty little liars and Paige and Emily are dating and I was thinking about how weird it is that Emily is dating Paige even though she tried to drown her and then I realized that I ship Jude and Cardan even though Cardan tried to drown her (Jude) and there's probably something wrong with me.

Tinderbox (30/12/23)

I did end up waking up super early (on accident) and watching this episode but I decided not to post my review until after it had been on TV. I've really got to start getting into writing my essays now cause I have less than two weeks even with the deadline extension but I can manage to spend 12 straight hours thinking about writing it (rotating Casualty in my microwave brain) and not even realise I've done it until my mum's alarm goes off.

Well, it was an episode, wasn't it? Sometimes Casualty gives us masterpieces of television (cough Switzerland) and sometimes Casualty gives us "what the fuck was that?" (cough Too Much, Too Young - that was a very mixed Saturday) and Tinderbox was, at least for me, pretty much in the middle. I guess I wasn't as invested as I could've been cause there wasn’t much of my faves, I'd probably be more positive if we had more of them.

Pretty busy and all over the place episode but that’s to be expected at the start of a miniseries, I guess.

Stevie my beloved, she was great in this one. Elinor Lawless is very talented!! This has got me looking forward to her own storyline even more.

I know Ryan was unpopular but I loved him as a problematic little bitch character. Shows like this sometimes need a Ryan to cause problems for everyone and he served his purpose. Like, he is terrible but it was amusing to have a terrible member of the predominantly very sweet baby nurse quartet. I’ll miss him, honestly. I don’t imagine he’ll come back since there’s a new new (I still think of the baby nurses as new) nurse joining next week.

I made this last night, he didn’t actually die but I still think it’s funny:

I really liked that final shot of Jodie, Rida and Cam together but, to quote my mum as it happened, “I feel like all three of them have wanted Ryan to get beaten up at least once before”.

I love a good family storyline, especially when the family has multiple members in the main cast cause I think it allows for more development of the relationship (gestures wildly at Jan and Teddy), and Max and Jodie were great today. Loved all their interactions. Especially loved their conversation about Max’s kidney failure and especially “I wouldn’t allow it, even if you wanted to.” “Which I don’t.” “Well at least we agree on one thing” and “I’m sorry I’m not what you expected” (!!!!!!!!!!). I think they’re more similar than either of them realises, and I love that kind of dynamic - in both my ‘main fandoms’ my favourite characters are girls whose relationships with their fathers could be described as “I’m nothing like my dad (I’m just acting exactly like him)”. There’s definitely examples of that in this episode but back in Driving Force I remember a scene where Dylan tells them that neither of them should be treating Max’s mum and they both stand there looking at him with the same expression.

I expected that knowing the Teddy infidelity arc will happen would affect how I watch the show and when Paige and Jodie were treating the same patient I was 👁️👁️ the whole time. Whatever, I’ll get over it (hhhhhhh).

Sah was in this but so barely that the credits didn’t actually include Arin, which is weird to me.

I will say I think Casualty has been on weird pacing recently. I’d blame the miniseries format but it feels like there has been some storylines that are too long-running without saying anything new (FAITH) and other ones that get dropped too quickly without enough time to actually go into the ideas they implied were happening.

I think it was a good start to the new series but I would’ve liked them to cut the Faith stuff and have something actually happening with the paramedics instead.

Yes, I know complaining about Faith is beating a dead horse. However, in continuing to write her and this storyline, the writers have invented a dead horse beating machine to keep beating the dead horse perpetually. It goes on endlessly and has absolutely nothing new to say. And while some storylines have been getting these rushed and incomplete conclusions, Casualty had an opportunity to give the Faith storyline a conclusion with her going to rehab and staying there and then they didn’t. Tired of it. Also, not to be mean to the presumably overwhelmed Holby HR department but why would they ask Faith of Drug Theft Fame to come back??? This is why your hospital is like this, your hiring practices are terrible.

NO BUT WHEN ITS LIKE Derek screaming at Scott about Allison Argent: “You’re not in love, you’re sixteen, a child” and we learn that Kate Argent seduced (read raped) Derek when he was fifteen, and he most likely blamed himself for his entire life turning and then stating “you’re a child” to Scott, when sixteen year old Jackson’s body rejects the bite and Jackson asks “What does it mean?” And Derek just backs away slowly, thinking of the first person this happened to, Paige, also rejecting the bite, dying in his arms, GOD this man is living out his traumas again and again

#this man is the living personification of ‘I am every age I have ever been’ #derek’s family burning and Derek dying by fire in front of his son #trauma circle. trauma conga line circle. #and he’s so angry at Scott for dating an argent. was it because he was scared the secret would be out? #or was he terrified that scott was being used like he was? #when Derek said that Jackson didn’t have a heart. did he look at Jackson and see himself (rich boy arrogant prep jock) did he see Paige? #Derek hale #jackson whittemore #scott mccall #allison argent #Kate argent #anti Kate argent #fuck Kate argent #jackson whittmore is a hale #the last one isn’t relevant but whatever #teen wolf #I could write essays about the projection Derek does on Scott and Jackson

I'll never understand how anyone ship stydia they look like siblings act like it too I always see Lydia as an annoy older sister with her annoying little brother stiles

And that kiss in season 6 looked so awkward and forced

They both deserved better

They weren't right for each other but then again there was no one else to put them with

The only Canon couples I like was

Allison and Isaac and Derek and Paige

Others didn't fit or were just damn right bad

agent 3 getting dragged in Smg3's schemes..... This is so funny to me idk why

Smg3 is capitalising on THIS cause there can only be one 3 or some shit like that

Technically if you asked him he'd say it's because they're more-or-less part of the group by that point and also they were important enough to the Anime Arc for him to include their role in the play....

but also yeah he totally is that bitter and petty about there being another person named 3 lol

#i wish squid memes were real au #the youtube arc #smg3 #agent 3 #paige spletzer #now i gotta think up a character to be their anti-cast counterpart

Dennis is a complicated character and there's so much to think about with him, but the moment i keep coming back to, that plays in my head repeatedly, is when Corvin is like "fuck the cops is just a thing people say actually killing them is going too far" and Dennis is like "cops aren't people and they deserved it"

Dennis' biggest W

#Universe Ends Posts #the silt verses #a poser who is willing to ride the status quo vs a real motherfucker who hates the oppressors #and i mean Dennis Sucks he is a terrible person but hot damn i think about that moment and im like #aight. aight. not all bad #and like his final moments (isnt my daughter something) are also good! #but that feels more. like. Personal. thats a personal moment of growth #this is showing that on a wider level he is where Paige got it from in the first place #yknow what i mean? im not being clear. but its like. its good. its good shit. #Dennis collects so many Ls but he is staunchly anti cop and i love that for him #RIP king you are a garbage man

One thing I dislike about each Charmed One

PRUE: her martial arts prowess in s3; not saying she should've been incapable of fighting, but I liked how the combat stuff was Phoebe's thing which she developed and trained to make up for her lack of an active power.

PIPER: her occasional sass turned constant sassy one liners in the later seasons; what was funny at first turned hurtful and unrealistic really fast, and it didn't help that nobody ever called her out on it

PHOEBE: her inability to keep a secret no matter whose life depends on it (it was endearing at first, but was kinda off putting later on...)

PAIGE: her cavalier attitude towards the Power of Three (it's true that they always risk the Po3 when fighting demons and whatnot, but it's different when they do it together or when one, most often Paige, insists on doing everything on her own and being mad at the involvement of her sisters when she's relying on/benefitting from the Po3)

#Charmed #Og charmed #No hate #I love these girls #But there were things that I didn't like #anti piper halliwell #anti prue halliwell #anti paige halliwell #anti phoebe halliwell #Again #I love all of them #But i'm using the anti tag to be sure

he forgives her. hes on the ground on the GFUCKING ASPHALT in his stupid sweatpants and sweatshirt bc he just left the hospital against medical advice (he was in there bc he got shot and his lungs collapsed during surgery and she fucking went to the dude trying to kill him and said Hey go kill this guy this is the name hes staying at the hospital under) and he forgives her. she got him killed like flatlined legally dead killed suffocated killed not breathing not alive not moving legally dead KILLED MURDERED ASSASSINATED KILLED and he forgives her. she knows he left the hospital early and is still recovering from his GUNSHOT WOUND AND LUNG COLLAPSE AND DEATH which she is RESPONSIBLE FOR and fully aware of all of this she pushed him to the ground and had him curled up on the ground in pain AND HE FUCKING FORGIVES HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

i'm rewatching pll and I'm on 7x15 and I do like emison but I'll NEVER forgive them for ruining paily, they were such a beautiful relationship and the chemistry between Lindsey/Shay was incredible!! emily chose to be with paige then found out alison was pregnant with her baby and changed her mind ugh everytime emily had a real choice she ALWAYS chose paige that was her love interest for majority of the series except s6!! I love alison and emison but them getting together so fast in S7 felt like fanservice to me especially since it all happened in a few episodes ugh I'll always ship paily they were my emily otp and always will be and I'm thankful they were together as long as they were and even together for awhile during those 5 years! I ship emison but I'll always be bitter over paily!!! and ACTUALLY it was paige who halted their new relationship not emily so the choice was made for her tbh she wanted things to work out with them!!

ps yes I know emily loved alison I know that but she still chose paige most of the time when she was around long enough!

#don't send me hate this is my opinion which I'm allowed to have!! #at least my other 3 otps we're endgame <3 #anti emison #just to be safe lol #paige mccullers #emily fields #paige x emily #paily #pll #pretty little liars

[the-widgets-stash-of-shinies]

I've got some fics in the works over on my main that will somewhat incorporate tales and explain how talesgames is NOT canon in the Reneagde AU and that talesVRworld (the theory that tales takes place inside a VR environment made by Faz Ent to test their projects and possible layouts of the megaplex) IS canon in this AU, so I figured that I'd make my stance on talesgames VERY clear.

I don't think that tales are canon to the games. At MOST, tales takes place in a VR testing environment.

The games are canon to tales, but tales is not canon to the games. Like how outside of crossovers that are not canon to either source game, Chelinka from Ring of Fates and Shirma from Chocobo Tales can never meet because they are not in the same world. Final Fantasy allegory because it's the other biggest game series that I can think of that has "the world of [series name]" mean a bunch of completely independent worlds that are not always the same world. Also if you want to go a different route,

spoilers for Bravely Default incoming.

There's hundreds of thousands of different Luxendarcs, each a bit different from one another. What happened in the first world you were in didn't happen in the other worlds you went to. Things were different. In one of the worlds, Til was the Norende survivor, not Tiz. If a side game that follows that world only were to be released, saying "the world of Bravely Default" and "the world of Luxendarc" would both be correct, but ultimately, NOTHING THAT HAPPENS THERE WOULD REALLY IMPACT THE WORLD BD1'S HEROS OF LIGHT ARE FROM (aside from one of the connected worlds you don't see during the Ouroboros fight probably having Til and Olivia cheering on Tiz, Agnès, Edea, and Ringabell BUT THAT'S CONNECTED WORLD TERITORY).

FNAF DOESN'T HAVE SOME FAIRY CONNECTING WORLDS.

Each world is separate from one another, but shares the basics (what the games generally lay out, but not always all of it)

That is why I think that Tales CAN take place in the world set out by the games, but the games themselves DON'T take what tales lays out as canon. Because tales is the world 3 to the games world 1.

I don't hate people who theorise that talesgames is canon, and I actually love a fair few AUs that use talesgames.

I am just sick of not being able to talk about theories without someone else coming along and derailing what was a pleasant conversation I was having with someone else.

Edit: sorry for the frequent post edits, I feel like I need to articulate this exactly right or else people will misinterpret what I say. Hence why I removed the meme (someone may just read the meme and get pissy without reading the rest of the text)and highlighted certain portions of the text with formatting.

#paige speaks! #flashing lights #blinkie usage #fnaf #five nights at freddys #fnaf theory #anti talesgames #bravely default spoilers #vent #I genuinely love and respect AUs that incorporate talesgames #but I can't seem to talk about modern FNAF theories or the timeline without someone barging in and trying to force me to accept talesgames #Can we go back to the times where people weren't that bratty over a simple theory? #Because the timeline is still just as much of an amorphous blob of unanswered questions and lose ends now as it was back then. #Just with more lose ends and unanswered questions. #honestly my bravely default comparison is probably better than my final fantasy comparison #You know how “dead dove do not eat” was coined from a sitcom skit where someone looks in a bag labelled with that and sees that? #I think we should coin “Til is still dead though” #for instances when a game has multiple worlds that have the same foundation but have fundamental differences between worlds #And this saying means “sure X happens in world C; but Y still happened in world A even though it didn't happen in world C” #just like how Til survives in one of the worlds; but he's still dead in world 1.

A History of Violence Trailer Review

so, the trailer happened…

I just feel a bit like

bros….. (usual ranting below the cut)

I’ll talk about Teddy first because what is the point of this blog at this point, if not to go on about him? I watched through most of it and I was like “wow, he’s not being slutty, this is amazing for me” and then we got to the end and I clocked into the PR job. For some reason, probably projection-related ones, I struggle to believe he’d cheat on someone. But Casualty has deigned that he must and I guess that Holbyverse infidelity is basically a minor moral offence that about 50% of the population of the city must have committed at least once. Still feels especially bad coming from Teddy; hypocrisy you can see from space or whatever I said about “New Romance For Teddy” in that post a while back. Him crying? Great, I’m horrible to my faves and I love all the episodes where he is sad. And Jan’s there for him, so their relationship hasn’t been ruined past the point of no return (which I’m not surprised about, those two were always going to reconcile). If it weren’t for the infidelity, I’d probably be really excited to see what happens next in Casualty and with Teddy but it’s kinda casting a shadow that I need to come to terms with.

Also, I’m a tiny bit convinced Sah might leave/be killed off and I have been for a while. I don’t think I’ve seen a picture of Arin filming in ages but I’ve seen loads of pictures of all the others together, without them. I thought it would be weird for them to fake-leave only to real-leave a couple months later but this trailer has also got me like 👀👀 for reasons I won’t specify because I’ll sound like a conspiracy theorist, I’m probably being silly and I’m not necessarily expecting that Sah will go but I’m definitely considering the possibility.

Brief acknowledgment of FAITH STUFF WILL NEVER BE OVER, WILL IT? Still no comment beyond that.

For all that I don’t enjoy Faith and Iain stuff, it does seem to be related to some Jacob and Iain stuff in the trailer and I’ve really been enjoying their interactions so there’s that. Honestly, Jacob joining the paramedics has made Iain feel like he’s more integrated into the paramedics as a team than he was when it was just him, Jan, Teddy and Sah.

The stuff with Stevie looks really, really good. I’m really excited to see where they go with that.

So does the stuff with Jodie and Max. And Max’s mum is back too! I do wonder if the same issue I’m having with Teddy right now might start to affect Jodie a little but at least she hasn’t got anyone she should be being loyal to. I also enjoy Dylan’s continued involvement in the Max and Jodie stuff.

New characters look great, we’ve heard about Siobhan joining and she looks interesting even if I’m still bitter about Donna, but I think Ngozi is introduced to us by this trailer so that’s exciting (though I do worry a new staff nurse means Ryan, who was slowly growing on me, is leaving). Also, Zoe returning, which is something I feel like we’ve known about forever now.

Brief, but there was Rida and Rash stuff and I hope we’re about to get a sweet romance with no horrors. I guess I love the horrors on some level, or I wouldn’t watch it, but it’s nice to have something pleasant happening in between.

Oh yeah, Charlie’s leaving. That’s the whole big thing. I know it’s a big landmark for the show but I don’t really care.

Overall, I guess I’m looking forward to it being back. The focus seems to be on the Stevie storyline and the Max and Jodie storyline, and at least that hopefully means that the continuation of the Faith Stuff will take a backseat compared to before the break. Teddy… I don’t know. I believed that the questionable things he did before the break made sense for his character, they felt like reasonable developments on his personality even if they weren’t always the writing choices I would’ve made (cough the proposal). But I struggle to believe he’d do this. I think he would have to be really going through it to do something like that, and I guess he has been really going through it, but unless the writers lean into that fact when making him do this, I think I’ll struggle to come to terms with it as part of his character. A real mixed bag of a trailer for me but at least Casualty-typical horrors are still being inflicted on the paramedics, some things never change.

[I recognise that Iain is also THE STRUGGLER right now, but this is how I made it so this is how it stays.]

Utter ew but you know what I just realised?

Again with the Jackson-Is-Peter’s-Son Theory you’ve got Kate being a sick fuck admitting she likes very underaged boys compared to a boy who already looks like Peter and ergo Derek, who Kate already seduced read: raped at sixteen

Additionally-yeah same Allison why is Kate such a fucked up insane piece of shit? Hate to pull this out but I don’t wanna hear anyone admiring her in any way shape or form considering that she would be public enemy number one if the genders here were reversed

#Kate has been an endless freak #Jackson hale #but-established. Jackson looks like Peter. this he has glimpses of Derek in him. #Kate knew Derek. I’m wondering now if she saw that 15yo pre-Paige confident jock in Jackson #and Kate is already looking at Jackson here thinking he’s the beta. I wholeheartedly think she was making the connections here #god adults are so fucking freaky to Jackson in the entirety of S1 #I’d lose my marbles too #I’m thinking about mr harris in that one scene. and Chris in that other one. and Derek when he BACKED A NAKED 16YO IN THE SCHOOL LOCKERS #someone plz tell Derek to get a therapist #Jackson is a hale #jackson whittmore #jackson whittmore is a hale #Kate argent #anti Kate argent #teen wolf #Peter hale

I forgot what kind of a frustrating and emotional roller coaster 7x15 of PLL is (yes, still heartbroken about was happened to Paily, and Paige deserved so much better than she got), but it's still undeniably one of the best episodes of season 7, if not the best. Troian did wonderfully with her directing debut.
