#sorry i know i make this post every other week but the pretentious tumblr crowd is the most un self aware cringe thing ever

[marklikely]

functionally zero difference between dudebros who get angry at a teenage girl for wearing a nirvana t shirt and tumblrinas having a meltdown that an extremely popular kate bush song was used in a tv show

#no you dont have to 'gatekeep' anything . two separate kate bush songs have already been tiktok memes #did you even notice? did you even notice that wuthering heights and babooshka were both tiktok memes last year? #no? oh its almost like it isnt the end of the goddamn world if teenagers find out about the thing you like omg. #you guys are way too young to be acting like joyless boomers constantly complaining about Kids These Days #avpost #we talk a lot about the weirdos who aggressively hate kids but to be honest we need to talk more about #how weird it is that a good 80% of the Pretentious Tumblr Crowd has made hating teenagers into a personality trait #just because like. what? you think youre oppressed because you use this shitty socmed site instead of any other shitty socmed site? #get over yourselves im so tired. #sorry i know i make this post every other week but the pretentious tumblr crowd is the most un self aware cringe thing ever #and we cant seem to get free of it. #take me back to the days when we all made fun of this 'pop music bad i was born in the wrong generation grr kids these days' shit

Pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions, don’t cheat. Tag 5 (or however many) people.

I was tagged by @stevedanvrs

1. Cheers

2. The IT Crowd

3. Miraculous Ladybug

4. Agents of SHIELD

5. A Discovery of Witches

1. Who is your favourite character in 2?

Probably Moss. He’s just so adorable and it’s impossibly to get annoyed by him. (Though I know I would in real life.) Him or Richmond.

2. Who is your least favourite character in 1?

Ugh, Diane. She is SO ANNOYING. She’s a pretentious know-it-all and it’s a million times worse when she and Sam are together. She constantly calls him stupid and demands that he grow as a person while she doesn’t have to at all - and why would she? That would imply that the blue collar crowd at the bar might have some things Diane is lacking, some insights into life and personal wellness that her hoity-toity education didn’t give her.

3. What is your favourite episode of 4?

3x05. It’s the only one with my bb Will and Jemma gets to be a person outside of Fitz for probably the last time. (Of course the narrative being framed as Jemma telling the story to Fitz kind of undermines that, but I choose to ignore that context.)

4. What is your favourite season of 5?

Well there’s only one so far but it was pretty good. I marathoned the ten episodes around work and sleep in two days because I discovered it was being removed from on demand and I hadn’t even started it yet. So it was plenty entertaining through that intense viewing.

5. Who is your favourite couple in 3?

Mari/Chat. Easily my favorite iteration of the love square.

6. Who is your favourite couple in 2?

Um, none. I can see the show is hinting at romantic stuff down the road and I’m not necessarily against it but I’m not eager for it either.

7. What is your favourite episode of 1?

I’m only on s3 out of 12 and I’m binging so it’s hard to tell the episodes apart but probably either 2x13 “Battle of the Exes” - where Sam agrees to take Carla to her ex’s wedding and the two end up kissing; it’s a sweet moment between the two and I could ship it - or 3x04 “Fairy Tales Can Come True” - where Cliff meets the perfect girl for him at a Halloween party and they are both adorable and Diane is barely in it.

8. What is your favourite episode of 5?

Episode 4. The dance and the ... bonding? I haven’t read the books, I’m sure there’s a term for it. And I love Matthew’s mom.

9. What is your favourite season of 2?

I’m just about to start 3 now so I guess 2?

10. How long have you watched 1?

A couple weeks. I have trouble watching anything when I’ve got a migraine because music can push it into nausea territory, even scores from TV shows. But somehow Cheers didn’t bother me at all and something about the overall sound of the show actually helped. I’d meant to keep it in reserve for when I have headaches in the future but now I’m all invested and keep watching every day.

11. How did you become interested in 3?

Tumblr. I kept seeing posts on my dash about it and finally decided to give it a try. Definitely worth it.

12. Who is your favourite actor in 4?

Probably Brett because he played so many roles and did them all so well. 

13. Which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5?

Probably 1. I usually only watch IT Crowd if I feel like I need to stagger Cheers a little more and ADoW is pretty and interesting but it’s just not as well crafted as a show as it could be.

14. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3 ?

Cheers. Literally by two episodes. If I’d answered this question before I ate dinner, they’d be tied.

15. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

No one. Everyone left is horrible.

16. Would a crossover between 3 and 4 work?

Hm, probably. It’d definitely work back in s1 and it’d be interesting to see it during the seasons where they were still dealing with Inhumans popping up everywhere. The team would be so confused by all the akumas - weirdest Inhumans ever.

17. Pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple? Cliff/Diane. Listen, I love Cliff and I would never do this to him for real, but for the purposes of this post, these two love to hear themselves talk and they’d never want for conversation. Plus it might do Diane some good to let someone else get the last word and it’d do Cliff good to be corrected every once in a while.

18. Overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5? Miraculous wins, easy. Sorry to the other, but honestly a lot of it is that ML has more seasons to work with. And s2 ended so amazingly, using the weaknesses of the genre itself to make the plot better. It was inspired.

19. Which has the better theme music, 2 or 4?

AoS doesn’t really have theme music ... but IT Crowd’s music is SO BAD ... Neither. No one gets to win. No one deserves to win.

I tag ... @be-myachilles-heel @sapphireglyphs @lillysbitchfest @outlandishwhalesharks @sakura-blossom62 and anyone else who wants to do it <3
