God this was such a terrible episode to realize I am IN FACT a Ted kinnie in.
(warning: a tiny bit of personal venting in the tags)
#I mean I had kind of been considering it for a while now#but I was always like#Nah im not that nice#but this episode kind of drilled it in for me#the way Ted kind of starts to disconnect from his support group and starts to close off#And the way he knew he had a place to go to so he just kind of left#And the way that he seemed more numb than sad when he left all of those people he should be missing#i felt that bro#And the way that in the end he's still making himself smaller to make space for other people like with the book title#LIKE YES IT WAS ABOUT YOU TED.#but i relate#There are so many people in my life that ive deeply cared for that I didnt end up missing when they moved away and left my life yknow#I only ever feel the 'missing them' emotion when I know I'll see them again#or when they meant a lot to me but they werent necessarily a big part of my life#basically I only feel like I miss people when I know that missing them wont emotionally wreck me#because I'll either see them again or because they never really wormed their way into my life all that deeply#Instead I feel vaguely sad and mostly numb but I end up being able to gloss over that#I think thats what happened with Ted this ep#And he left because he knew he couldnt uproot Henry's life like that so he came to Henry#which I think goes against his character development but is still rather realistic#anyways this is what finally cemented Ted Lasso's kin status in my books#God what an awful way to realize it#ted lasso finale#ted lasso spoilers#ted lasso#personal

For the ask game: 14?
thank you sm for the ask ☺
14. bl you think is underrated
ooh this is a tricky one, bc i can definitely tell you what i think is overrated (but thats not the question...), plus im always gonna think my favourites are underrated bc everyone should love them but i digress. i wanna highlight 3 shows/things bc the first one is a short series and then a movie and thats his. idk if it's bc its a few years old now but when i watched this show and then the film i just adored it. first of all, the show is the perfect kind of chill watch where not really much happens and yet a lot happens?? thats how me and my sister affectionately describe our favourite kind of shows bc they deal in the normal and everyday and manage to make it seem huge and beautiful and this series does that with one of my favourite tropes that i love to see crop up in j-bls which is an escape to the beach (and later the countryside), plus the show has the most awesome and well done early 2000s aesthetic that just fills me with nostalgia. but the film is a whole other thing. it pulls an old fashioned cupcake/cherry magic and gives us adults but unlike them shows us a story that is very grounded and real and serious, like they really said lets take this bl and actually make it a story about parenting and what a family can be and show just how complicated it all is and sometimes there is no winning and thats life. god its just beautiful, and theres still a deep and meaningful love story at the heart of it. just go watch it now if you haven't, or rewatch it if you haven't for a while.
second im picking eien no kinou and im prefacing this by saying i get why less people talk about this bc its not fun and some people dont wanna watch a story they know will be sad, but its also so important that it exists and i think it touches on some really tough topics and manages to tell them beautifully. and bc i havent seen much of what ppl say about this, idk what any consensus takes are but i felt very emotional watching this through the lens of erasure of queer relationships when it comes to loss, how sometimes when people aren't out or cant share their relationship, they become lost, or invisible, when someone is lost. and i mean... the queer experience is all-encompassing and such grief is something that should also be talked about when queerness can affect that process in a specific way, and while i dont think its easy to watch or revisit, its nevertheless important and beautiful
ive talked about some more heavy shows so i'm ending with if its with you, which is recent but even i pushed it to the side a little bc i liked i cannot reach you so much, but this show is kinda like the opposite to the ones above. i feel like people like a middle ground in their shows between drama and comfort, so while people dont talk as much about serious or sad shows, they also dont talk about the shows that are just nice. and this show is just that, bc its all about teaching someone thats had a bad experience that there is simple kindness in the world and its so heart-warming. i'll never forget the way ryuuji responded in that last ep when amane got nervous around the other kids, how he thought it would be this big think that he'd be mad about bc that's what happens in every show, but ryuuji was just like yeah its ok i understand and im not mad. just the pure kindness this show has to people feeling the way they feel is so refreshing and beautiful and it captures the high school simplicity of it all in a way that makes you step back as someone older and think huh yeah it really is just that easy, its just about happiness.
anyway, between this and the last response, i think by j-bl bias is jumping out a bit too much but thats the end of my rant, thank you for coming to my ted talk
❤️🧡💛bl ask game💚💙💜

1/2 and we are now at 5x11 and he is so fucking happy because Brian said i love you and they are back together. He’s smiling so big its actually hilarious.
And the scene opens with Brian at church ‘what the fuck is going on? WHO FUCKING DIED?! DID THEY KILL MIKE? I mean he was an annoying little shit but that’s a bit much. WHY IS BRIAN IN A COFFIN?! WHAT THE FUCK WAS- oh thank fuck its a dream. A horrible one at that.’ ‘Has Brian not been home to shower, fucking hell, i feel so fucking bad for him. Ted is fully in survival mode huh?’ ‘Blondie is at the hospital! Wheres Brian! I need the happy couple back on the screen. Fucking hell Emy is scared now. Okay so Mike is alive and well, good. Now back to Brian and Justin’ And we are at the scene with Brian and Cynthia now ‘i fucking love these two. Look how he cares for everyone. He has a big fucking heart and it pisses me off that people pretend he doesn’t.’ And WE ARE AT THE FIRST PROPOSAL SCENE!!! *said with huge excitement and then it died down* ‘BRIAN AND JUSTIN AT HIS umm place…i love when they mock each other. Ahhh young LOVE. Country manor? Since when has that been a dream? I love seeing Brian around Justin when he works. I have no clue why but I do.’ Brian asks if he heard what he said to him last night ‘yes, i did Brian! Over the sound of my own tears but i heard it! *he paused it RIGHT BEFORE THE PROPOSAL AND I WANTED TO SCREAM* why the fuck is blondie being dismissive..bro that’s not what i wrote in the script inside my little brain *plays ep and Brian propose* um W- WHAT. *he moves forward while sitting as if he heard wrong and then pauses it when Brian talks about his dream* i hate *waves his cast to the tv and scoffs* but i also hate how everyone keeps doubting his change. Like bro let that man change. But also huh *plays ep* NOT WITHOUT HIM! So wait, hold the fuck up. Brian says he loves him. And they kiss. And he..*scoffs again* proposes. And then Blondie just says thanks and thats it? So THEYRE NOT TOGETHER?’ And we are with Ted and Brian at the club ‘i actually get why he doesn’t wanna reopen the club again. It is kinda weird in a way..i dont know. Oh Ted is not in a good shape. Whats going on with everyone’ We are now at the scene with Mel, Linds and Justin and mel says its good they realized what they had before its too late ‘PLEASE TELL ME THAT THIS MAKES BLONDIE RETHINK SOME STUFF…i still hate the..you know what? Im gonna be quiet and not judge. Just go back to Brian’ and we are at the scene with Jen and Brian ‘JEN AND BRIAN!! MY FAVORITE PEOPLE! FINALLY! (She says the judy line) i fucking love this woman! And look so does Brian! They shouldve had more scenes together, this wouldve been amazing (jen says he wants to sell the loft) WHAT?! Why? So not panic then why the fuck is he selling? What is happening? (Brian tells about the proposal) oh my god. HE TOLD HER? Holy fucking shit. *starts laughing cause jen offers pills* i love her but im sure he has some stronger shit in his drawer. OF COURSE SHES SORRY HES NOT HER SON IN LAW! This is the mother he shouldve had. Remember their first scene? I love them’ The scene with Brian and Ben happens ‘man fuck every single one of those protestors. Go to hell. BEAT HIS ASS BEN! I cannot believe that Brian is the collected and calm one. My boy is growing.’ ‘Ah fuck thats why Ted is acting this way. Poor fucking guy. But thats not your fault, man. Hate to say it Teddy but the dude is right, youre not god..that dude sucks’ Brian says he calls him Zen Ben ‘i call you boring. Once again Brian is better than me. It’s still fuck Mike tho *looks at me* what? i can say it now, he’s alive’ Mel and Linds talk about Canada ‘what the fuck is she on? Does she think that this type of shit won’t happen anywhere else?’ And we are at the second proposal now: ‘where the fuck are they going? I hate this car. (It shows the house and he is suspicious and brian says ‘we do’) WE? since when do we speak French? Fuck is he talking about we? THATS WHY HE SOLD THE LOFT?! Wait he bought this for Justin?’ *he pauses tv and stares at me and then just goes back to watching*
Country manor? Since when has that been a dream? RIGHT!?! What is up with Justin this fucking season? Since when does he want to live in the middle of nowhere and be married with children? SINCE WHEN? (And also Brian told him since Day 1 that was never going to happen)
I love seeing Brian around Justin when he works. I have no clue why but I do. YES (also this inspires me for my fic ;) )
Brian asks if he heard what he said to him last night ‘yes, i did Brian! Over the sound of my own tears but i heard it! THE I LOVE YOU HEARD ROUND THE WORLD
i hate *waves his cast to the tv and scoffs* but i also hate how everyone keeps doubting his change. <- Yes on both counts. Like everyone doubts his change so he reverts to what he’s always been and then everyone says “see, it wasn’t real.” But also WTF is this sudden focus on marriage? I hate it. It makes no sense. Leave Ben and Mikey to be the happy married boring couple and let Brian and Justin stay themselves.
This Brian and Jen scene is one of my all time favorites. The two of them have come so far. And Jen is the mother Brian deserves.
Okay… onto the proposal (worst idea ever, fuck you forever writers)

ted lasso finale thoughts
Need the richmond women's team spinoff NOW!!!!!!!!!!! And it better have LESBIANS i swear to god!!!!!!!
As always the strongest part of this ep was the team dynamics. Roy joining the diamond dogs. Isaac with the penalty kick!!!! The fucking dance sequence callback T^T theres no place like afc richmond <3 Them winning the match but losing the whole thing was a good balance of success vs realism. I didn't know enough about football to predict it beforehand LOL but that probably worked in my favor bc i genuinely didnt know whether they would win or lose. Rebecca and ted's friendship was heartwarming as always. I was living in fear that they'd become a couple even though i knew that wasn't what the writers were going for, so I probably need to rewatch to fully enjoy it.
Tedependent lost RIP. it would have made sense but at the same time im kinda glad they didn't, at least this season. trent was still very much a side character and i just don't think the story beats were there for tedtrent endgame. the story would have had to been constructed differently, or it would need another season. I also liked how the main focus was ted & rebecca's friendship rather than either of their romantic relationships. I love a good romance but its not what this story is about.
Thats part of the reason why the dutchman return felt cheap to me lol. Sorry rebecca im always rooting for you but i just wasn't feeling it. Another part of that is probably because Ted and Trent had a much stronger foundation and we still didn't get to see even their friendship develop as much as i would have liked. Maybe ive been spoiled by all the trent this season idk. but i was just hoping for a little more. After all, it's not lost on me that we only got one confirmed gay couple at the end (we don't even know anything about Michael!!! Ugh sorry Im a michael hater he's so boring.)
Speaking of boring, I simply do not care about ted's family. So him moving back was... not really compelling for me. like none of the kansas characters are fleshed out at all. i wish they had done something more interesting with them so i could actually get invested. There was something there with michelle dating their couples therapist, but it ended up falling flat imo. Also Michelle being a teacher is a total copout, I would have preferred if she had an unexpected job that revealed a new side to her. Give her a personality outside of being a wife/mother/caretaker please and thank you.
I did like how Royjamie was left openended!!! thats the ship i care most abt and i knew it wasnt going to *actually* happen so im satisfied with what we got. I am in the (im assuming) minority of royjamie enjoyers that is against roykeeleyjamie. This episode really hammered it in why roy and jamie are not good for keeley LOL, but the signs have been there all along. Keeley needs to be her own boss for a bit! Roy and jamie are just not at her maturity level (lovingly), and they've got some misogyny to work through.
(I need to think on it more, but I'm pretty sure that I liked the way this episode/season handled the Roy And Jamie Are Lowkey Sexist subplot. Like the whole fighting over a woman thing is soooo trite atp, and i still dont know how i feel about them physically fighting over her or whatever. but the story was realistic about how these asshole male footballers are going to have some weird views about women, while still shutting that down those views. like not even giving them the time of day. Keeley literally shoos them out without a word LMAO. So idk need to think about it more but at least keeley didnt end up with either of them).
Hey you know who DOES deserve each other.... and makes each other better people, as represented by their football training arc.... the student is the teacher and the teacher is the student etc etc…… Anyways royjamie is real TO ME!!! (And brett goldstein and phil dunster, number one royjamie warriors. phil dunster wrote royjamie smut I will never get over that)
Overall im sad to see ted lasso go. i think i need to sit with all 3 seasons a bit more before forming my full opinion, but s1 will always have my heart. Mostly because evil jamie and evil rebecca are so so fun to watch.

Guess what?
There are new spoilers for ephemeral! So I'm gonna try and ✨predict✨ whats going to happen.
So this is what we're working with:
Tumblr media
youtube
But also THIS:
youtube
Soooo... lets break it down!
I actually think there are going to be 2 akumatized people in this ep, cuz im pretty sure that this is Adrien:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But we also see Gorille and Gamer in the trailer with Chat Noir, so yeah. Im guessing the second akuma has some kind of power that allows him to akumatize others. Ephemeral (the word) means lasting for a very short time, so maybe he can akumatize people for a short time???
Maybe LB quickly deakumatizes Adrien or something.
So anyways...
I think the guy who can akumatize others was defeated first, in the evening. The whole thing with the nine other heroes yada yada happens then. We also get some sick nw transformations.
Im guessing Su Han sees this and was like??? Ladybug wtf?? And then ofc she tells him she couldnt reach CN. Then im guessing LB goes to find Chat and the umbrella scene happens.
Then the next morning, Adrien gets akumatized. (he looks weary and tired when he finds Gabeshits lair)
Im guessing that Gabriel suspected Adrien of being CN, so he purposely led him to his lair. Gabeshit akumatized Adrien into Ephemeral n gets the cat miraculous. Important to note that Adrien does not give it willingly, you can see the red akuma lines around his eyes when he does this.
Then the whole Marinette-detransforms-in-front-of-Shadowbitch happens. Im guessing Viperion comes in here.
Tumblr media
I think once Adrien is deakumatized, we get the Chat Noir reveal.
So yeah. Thats what I think is going to happen. Thank you for coming to my ted-talk.

ok I have a idea as to what's happened on that jiara hug boat scene or at least what's led up to that moment. So , we see in the trailer that Sarah and John b jump off that big ship, we then see pope and cleo jump off the ship together, and in that same clip we also see Sarah and John b in the small boat. Which means, jj and kie must be together on that ship (I feel like a detective lol). So, in the same trailer, we see that jiara handshake, those outfits they're wearing are the same outfits as the hug scene, which means this is all in the same ep (I think its gonna be the last ep) and that handshake scene is clearly before the ship scene. That clip of them doing the handshake implies that they are paired up to do something on the ship, so like Sarah/John b were partners, pope and cleo are possibly partners bc they jumped off the ship together, so then kie and jj. I think there are many possible reasons as to why jj got hurt and why Kiara looks emotional and is hugging him in a passionate way, but here are some ideas: they got stuck together and one of them nearly died but they made it off the ship together, they nearly got caught by Rafe but like I said they both escaped together, OR one of them (could be jj considering he's the one who is injured) tried to protect/rescue the other. Thats my theory, I am a detective. Thankyou for listening to my ted talk.
Yes!!! This is exactly what I’m thinking.
Tumblr media
I feel this asshole has a high chance of causing JJ’s injury. Judging by Kie’s reaction in the trailer I’m thinking JJ probably does something wreckless or selfless to get them off the boat. Consider JJ does something to ensure Kie gets off the boat, hits his head and then nearly drowns when he jumps with her. Kie FREAKS out, understandably. The likelihood of us getting CPR is also a possibility off of this. Y’ALL.
THE WAY I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT JIARA ON ANOTHER MISSION TOGETHER, hug aside. This is exactly the type of build up I want.
And… if Pope and Kie were still dating, wouldn’t the likelihood of them being paired off increase? Unless they’re paired off to do something only these specific pairs can accomplish, but come on.

THE GREAT ND REWATCH OF 2021 / OCTOBER 3, 2019 // the trial
(TW SUICIDE)
it's the reveal!!!! love that for her hope shes thriving (shes not) again w the two minutes of the next episode to sync the dates
-lmaoooo so i honestly wonder why they went for the full pulling-it-out-the-throat thing but idk (an interesting foil to her getting sick for more stereotypical reasons ie s2 "people find out theyre grandparents every day"
-I LOVE THIS GEORGE HAIR
-"i'd do anything for nancy" okay but....why 👀bit of an odd reaction imo
-bess with spilling the truth again 😂and gets shot down. tragic #shetried
-wait sooooo nobody tested the fingerprints on the knife when this shit happened?? or that tech didnt exist in 2000? i mean without a body how could they even call it murder? and who told the police?? like if the drews took the baby, the dress, and said nothing, who tells the cops shes missing or even dead? how did they know to search the bluffs? who told the media/public? it had to have happened that same night because ryan said when he got there later there were already rumors she was killed. after the baby and bloody dress, only her crown, a knife, and tire tracks were left. how did anyone find anything at this remote bluff without some kind of tip off? and why on earth would they think murder and not suicide with so little evidence?? thats gotta be like suicide central, sorry for the trigger
-"a little help, lucy?!" lucy seems unable to disobey a direct request from nancy (ie "lucy, stop" from later in the ep) when nancy speaks directly to her. so maybe if nancy had spoken aloud/engaged more lucy could have appeared more? nancy said she only comes around when she wants to but what if nancy herself could do a bit more, being the last thing lucy touched and all
-so in ep 2 when nancys in jail carson says "great grandma rosalind buried her valuables in the trunk" including the knives shown here. did carson and kates families even know about nancy? how did they explain not announcing a pregnancy or birth?
-"oh." john lmfaoooo
-BESS lmaoooo and ace's looks in the background and then at seeing nick approaching lmfaooo oh no / also why on earth is she apologizing?? he dumped her but she has to be sorry he found out she fucked someone else? someone nicer pls explain to me bc i dont get it. she dont owe him shit
-george is SO CUTE lmfaoooo and so forward and he was so shook but then he was like "oh hell yeah"
-"is he a vampire?!" ik nobody i knew got that reference 😂
-this entire search of the claw is a sham. what are they even looking for. clearly a set up by tamura but why/what does he suspect them of. esp w karen as accomplice, story should be airtight so why are they still investigating?
-john + ace dream team 💙
-god ace is such a yes-man. why is he so fucking loyal?? people like him are insane. how are they real. i suspect they arent. and no matter what you do you are never worthy of their unending loyalty anyway.
-so in the Good Place nancy was the one who had the key but in reality its ryan
-wonder if lucy's listening to ryan here talking about his love and grief for her
-"you were throwing away your future on a nothing girl" - nancy & ryan - their fathers dont want them to see "troubled" kids, want them to focus on school instead --> which they both struggle with and eventually do not achieve (maybe bc they want their kids to leave horseshoe bay?) for nancy its an interesting vice for someone whos really a goody two shoes/for ryan its subverted bc karen actually did worse than him ie committed real crimes
-"stay away from my family" surprise bitch bet you thought youd seen the last of me 😉
-interestingly, ryan probably would have agreed with karen about switching the ballot boxes but he wouldnt have really understood the social consequences. both josh and karen are determined to see ryan as the bad guy when actually he didnt do anything, they did. 🤔
-karen is such a ride or die friend. again w the loyalty. if someone swapped ballot boxes for me i'd be touched. im sure going into active labor made lucy a bit upset but damn. what a friend.
-wonder when nancy starts calling her "Lucy" instead of "dead lucy"
-lucy primarily haunting her own house/love seeing this house overtaken by nature
-the concept of writing things down : starting from the first ep, nancy's journal (then and now), writing out simon cards, similar cemetary cards in the Good Place, "beautiful minding it," culminating in lucy's journal / writing it down to help figure it out/when theres too much going on to keep it inside
-"i'll make a salad" NICK LMAOOO
-wonder what happened to carson's old lawyer?
-"my testimony begins in the summer of 1999" because your story always starts with your mother's story
-lmfaoooooo this shit taking the stand is soooo never allowed but oh well
-"she stole a knife" and carson's face lmfaooooo he knows its not true but what could he fucking say?? no?
-"i love you mom, i hope you never find this." ironic bc nancy didnt want her dad to find her journal either
-lucy never wanted anyone to find out how she died d/t shame- but she didnt want carson to go to jail for it so she finally allowed it (or just couldnt refuse nancy asking)
-"i'm sorry for what you lost"/"i'm never gonna be free from them"
-awww ace/mcginnis goodbye / i wonder if ace is nervous thinking about tamura --> ace's dad since chief mcginnis covered for ace out of respect for his dads sacrifice but tamura would throw both ace and his dad under the bus just to get at nancy (get at her via ace? since he was already used as the blackmail plot device? they kinda touched in this in s2 but not fully)
-okay sooo why are they still doing this forensic analysis thing? like the whole things over so whats the point. i wonder if john had packed up and gone home what coulda happened
-nancy/carson - interrupted moments:
•family dinner interrupted by nancy's accsations
•being home after finding ted interrupted by carson's arrest
•celebration of dropped charges interrupted by nancy discovering the truth about her parentage
-"i cooked your favorite to celebrate" ironic bc shes upset that hes not her "real" dad but he IS because he knows her best. like theyre literally proving it right in front of her. vs ryan whom she doesnt really want anyway AND rejects requests to get to know her. like come on sis. his 20 years of parenting you arent going away, ever. deal w it.
-carson's little smile before he said "'mom never hurt lucy" like he knows this is the end / scott's acting here just kills me
~~~~~~~~~
-why did the drews come back at all? and why did kate really keep the dress? carson says she did it as a link to lucy, but did kate want to keep it to be connected to lucy? or did she bury it to keep lucy repressed? is this a positive or a negative? +keeping in attic - did lucy start to haunt kate, so she unburied the dress?
and lastly:
-why doesnt lucy haunt everett and celia hudson? she kind of does ie painting but only when nancy visits bc shes actually haunting nancy. isnt everything the hudsons' fault?

Weaving thats the main problem
So I’ave been thinking a lot about Skamfr and why at this point the audience just expects their plot failures. I recently rewatched s5 and weaving imo is the thing that sticks out the most about skamfr. All Skams have plot issues but FR for me just monkey swings from subplot to subplot but never fully explaining the transitions or character’s headspace. Also, details details details to assist in closing out plot is something they lack. Here are some examples for s5. What happen to Arthur and his Mother? Its left to the audience to assume that Carole filed for divorce, moved out of the apt and Arthur/his mom are finding ways to emotionally deal (Caroline prob feels guilty/Arthur probably has lingering anger issues) with his father’s abuse. Three ultra simplistic ways to have addressed this within 10secs moments in s6 first 3 eps. The scene where Daphne walks into school after the funeral.
- The group is doing their hug and Arthur runs in saying sorry his late he is still getting use to the new bus route to school (tells us they moved out and are adjusting to their new life).
- The therapist scene with Lola. We see Lola walking out and we catch a glimpse of Arthur walking into a session or something that highlights he is in therapy to deal with being physically assaulted by his dad.
- A 10secs line delivery from Arthur(at daphné’s bday) asking Elliot if they have job openings at the video store because he needs a job after the bacs implying he wants to start contributing to his household. Maybe his mom is finding it hard to manage a single parent income.
- S6 examples just for giggles. Elu drama aside the plot connector is just weak. If urbex is their thing instead of having Elliot lie to lucas at the party maybe that scene would have been Lola having a smoke/break outside on her own and elliot comes out to say he also isn't good with big groups. They look out onto Paris and elliot tells us why urbex is his solo thing and how he uses abandoned spaces to fill a void even make up imaginary scenes in them (ref to polaris).It helps him cope.
Skamfr writing team I know you guys aren’t dumb but if your gonna have such dramatic plot milestones(car accident) then weave the shit out of the narrative that way we can be mad but at least its written well. None of it is ever woven properly so its just a mess of wire cords not plug into any outlet.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk!

im on ep 7 rn cause i've been meaning to revisit what's basically a fucking high school au arc. and i just got to the part where they get out of cold pool cave and wei wuxian just starts LYING about what happened while they were missing. he doesn't mention the yin metal, not even to his own brother! and lan wangji is just giving him this look. and then later nie huisang asks where they went. & in return wwx asks if nhs wants to know about something that happened to them in the middle of the night. nhs is like YEAH
Tumblr media
lwj just looks at wwx like, "oh no what the fuck are you gonna say you literally just promised you wouldnt tell anyone we found a piece of the yin metal and i s2g if you say we hooked up i'm going to cut you." (yes he says all of this with a single look!)
Tumblr media
(thats the look right there officer - you can tell when he's surprised/concerned bc his mouth hangs open just a little)
wwx is like "a SNAKE elemental!" and lwj gets as close to rolling his eyes as he ever will in his entire life.
But! i think this is the point where lwj starts to realize that wei wuxian is a good liar and he lies often. he's always dramatic and loves to entertain people with his exaggerations and he can clearly use this to manipulate those around him. what lwj had previously calculated as like, stupidity or immaturity is... actually something else.
AND ALSO lwj has probably never lied about anything in his fuckin life and now he's seeing his crush wwx break a pretty basic lan sect rule ("don't lie.") to protect a lan sect secret. in his feelings and questioning shit!
establishment of trust thru small gestures is slow burn 101. thanks for coming to my TED talk

The entire episode was hilarious lmao but I feel like the end was a bit sudden? I loved it all I just felt like it was abrupt. Patrick was a cute blushy bébe and David is a little shit lmao people on Twitter are side eyeing Stevie saying that she could have been flirting with some girl at the party before D&P got to Jake’s house. I’ve given up all hope that Stevie could be LGBT I’ve accepted the fact that she may have not been written that way. Also Poor Alexis 🥺 I feel like they’ll break up
ok wow alot in one ask 
PATRICK WAS SO FUCKING CUTE AND SEXY IN THIS EP IM GNA DIE
it was a little abrupt but there was nowhere else for them to go, also its a 22 min show so theres only so much they can actually do
i mean stevie looked unreal and could have been talking to a girl??? who knows, but i agree im sure they would have already made her lgbtq if she was but let people have hope, cause honestly we never fucking know!
no omg they cannot break up, i think there will be hard times and im sure thats why she cries on johnnys shoulder in the trailer but he does come home and surprises her so def dont think a break up happens just some hard trying times being long distance
i did feel bad for her though, shes really sad cause she misses him so much but her career is blasting off and she cant just leave and what if she resents him for it,  im sure ted thought a lot about that and he loves her too much for that to happen

Destiel Meta - an outsider’s perspective
I’ve been reading meta for about a year, but now I wanted to add my own post regarding it.
I don’t really see things when I first watch episodes, I don’t get mirrors or parallels or pay attention to background details like wallpaper or neon signs or anything like that. I’m not good at analyzing things or interpreting it, not in literature nor film, I don’t do something in this area professionally or studied it. 
However, there are some things that jumped out so much that even I thought “Hey, that’s something!”.
Part 1: Mirrors
Seriously, mirrors? You’re telling me that it’s a known method to present mirrors to characters, that they can be used in subtle or totally obvious forms, and they can tell you a lot about the character that’s being mirrored just by existing? Wow that’s so cool!
14x300: In the first scenes when my friend yelled “Look! they look like Dean and Cas!”, I wasn’t 100% sure if that’s what was going on, but oh boi at the end of the episode it was crystal fucking clear. Three people next to each other, the one on the right taller than the others, one is wearing a jacket resembling a trench coat, one is wearing plaid. Trenchcoatjacket and Plaid are holding hands.
We noticed Plaid’s crush on Trenchcoatjacket the whole episode, it was so obvious! Hm, what else was there in resemblance? I remember the taller kid was pretty nerdy, and Plaid stole the Impala at one point, so it’s pretty clear we have Sam and Dean here, which leaves Cas for the last person, and it fits so well! Thats awesome!!
Apart from “Lebanon”, the episode ‘Mint Condition’ basically taught me how they use mirrors and that I should pay attention to them right now. They pointed out who was Sam and Dean, then resumed with the plot and I sat there thinking “Oh!”.
My friend explained to me how the ghost of that episode relates to John Winchester, and honestly if you follow the train of thought about mirrors that the episode presented to you, it’s pretty easy to get there.
Dreamhunter: The confirmed ship with two girls, ah yes! Again, I don‘t really pick up on visual cues or background stuff, but when Kaia said to Claire “I’ll go with you,” I had flashbacks to the season 11 finale immediately. I mean, using the exact same dilagoue? But alright, maybe they’re gonna keep playing it as a cute subtextual crush or how you call it, because neither of them says “You’re my crush”, so-
Oh, wait, Kaia was also stabbed in front of Claire who screamed “Noo!!”, that’s another striking resemblance. Hm.
Oh, Dreamhunter is confirmed to be a couple thing? Neat! So does that mean all the DeanCas stuff is romantic? Because y’all used the same dialogue and plot.
Part 2: Dean’s pining (season 11)
To be fully honest here, I didn’t understand season 11. At all. I didn’t get the whole Amara thing, why was everyone talking about pining? Dean told us that it wasn’t about desire with him and Amara, just a weird fixation, but still, the lady in the senior home told Dean that he “was pining for somebody else”. That makes no sense!
Unless it’s true? Dean didn’t pine for Amara, he tells us that, but everyone’s still talking about pining, therefore the topic of pining is important. Dean x Amara wasn’t romantic, that’s clear from what Dean told us and how he behaved, so no pining.
The only person left he could pine for is Cas. The dude who let in Lucifer, who Dean’s worried about, who Amara touches and she knows where Dean is? That’s..interesting. I’m still kinda confused, but some things are clearer now. No romance between Dean & Amara, but pining is still a theme, and only Cas makes sense. Got it.
Part 3: Cas’ endgame as being human
I wanted to include this because I’ve had this headcanon for years, then saw the meta community talk about it, and honestly there’s one scene to watch and it’d be clear that Cas wants to be human.
“We need grace-” “He can have mine”. 14x08
Alright dude, you’re so eager and ready to throw away your grace? Okidoki.
To go back in time, everyone always had these TED talks about how Cas loves humanity and loves humans and human things, that he feels stuff (season 4 yall, it’s been a while), that he compliments Hannah with things that “are human”. He doesn’t get along with other angels because they’re different than him, or they don’t understand his love and devotion for humans. He spends pretty much all his time on earth, around humans, because he loves them, and one in particular.
To quote Metatron, “He’s in love with humanity”. Do I need to add more? No? Fantastic, because this post is long enough already.
Part 4: Random things in no particular order
Episode 12x12, because come on. Some people took the gifs of Cas’ deathbed confession and connected them to the shots before, showing you where everyone’s standing, who Cas is looking at, and it’s so bloody clear. Don’t get me started on the singular vs plural “i love you” because I literally don’t have to, it’s right there.
“I could go with you”- season 11 finale. Cas, ready to die to accompany Dean on the suicide mission to save the world. He wants to ease Dean’s fear and be there for him until the very end, without hesitation. Castiel really fucking loves Dean Winchester. Wow.
That’s it I think? Those are the top things that jumped into my face when I watch the show, things I didn’t have to read other people’s thoughts on to understand what’s happening. :)
To finish this up I want to say something about meta writers. I didn’t start out reading meta, I didn’t really care for details and background stuff and took the show as I saw it, which is why I shipped Destiel immediately because there were enough things so blatantly obvious to me that I just had to. Then I found @tinkdw, then @bluestar86, @dotthings, @occamshipper, @postmodernmulticoloredcloak and all the other bloody amazing meta writers, and boom! A whole new world!
I started a series rewatch, read the posts for the episodes or seasons, paid more attention and there was so much to see and notice! It gave me joy in watching SPN in a time where I was kind of burned out because I had just discovered the bad side of the fandom and was a bit hopeless, for my OTP and the show itself. It gave me friends, and interesting conversations, but more importantly: These people helped me be realistic about episodes, upcoming episodes and PR stuff. “PR is not showrunning” was a strange concept to me before they showed me what it meant, and I vividly remember being in tears before all this after some PR material promised amazing things but failed to deliver.
These people are so good at predicting what’s going to happen because they read the fine print and understand it, pack it up and show it to us who either can’t read the fine print or dont notice it. They help fans to control (?) their expectations, to soften blind excitement over promo shots or interviews with people who have either no clue what they’re talking about (Jensen bby, i love you but what are you even saying?) or are purposefully exaggerating things.
They saved me from so much disappointment, they improved my fandom experience and changed my feelings for the show and how I watch it. There are so many interesting things to discover, things that confirm theories and explain plot points. I haven’t been disappointed in a new episode because of PR or rumors since I’ve met them, except ep 300 but that’s...a whole other thing. They were right about that too, though, and I didn’t listen. Catch me crying at four am because of it.
I love those people immensely, and I’m so thankful for them. They take the time to write all these essays about the show, all you have to do is read them.
A toast to meta writers! Consider this your personal love letter.
Kisses,
Jana

1/2 And we are on 4x13 and it starts with Britin “sleeping” and immediately he scoffs at it and goes ‘yeah right. You expect me to believe that either of them sleep like that? Not to project on Blondie but he would be all over Bri Bri. OH BRIAN IS SNEAKING OUT?! What is going on? OH JUSTIN IS AWAKE?! This would be sooooo much funnier if they’d be all over each other and Bri would spend like a full minute trying to untangle. Why is he sneaking out? Brian, you know this is your house right? WHAT IS HAPPENING? Oh shit he’s following him. HE’S SNEAKING OUT TO WORK OUT? That’s..insane..and impressive.. i hid in the bathroom at the hospital last week because i tried to avoid PT. CAUGHT! HES BEEN SNEAKING AROUND FOR THREE WEEKS?! THEYRE GONNA GO TOGETHER?! AM I FINALLY GETTING A BRIAN AND JUSTIN TRIP? Even if it is to Canada? Is there a place In Pittsburgh that they haven’t fucked at? SEE THIS IS THE JUSTIN I LOVE! THIS KINKY SNEAKY LIL SHIT!’ *pauses episode on Mel* ‘IS THAT A PICTURE OF BRIAN BEHIND HER? When gus was born!!! It is! THAT IS ADORABLE!’ He is now watching the Mel/Linds passive aggressiveness ‘okay, im gonna need this shit to end. I dont care how, just end it’ ‘I forgot about this LA dude. NOOOO JUSTIN NEEDS TO GO TO LA?! BUT THE LIBERTY RIDE! FUCK YOU MIKE! NO JUSTIN! COME ON THIS IS BULLSHIT! Why does he have to go to LA! *pauses tv* this sucks. THEY WERE GONNA FUCK IN A TENT OR WHATEVER! *looks at me* yeah yeah and raise money for charity but priorities! Fuck LA’ ‘CARL WANTS TO MARRY DEBBIE?! OH MY FUCKING GOD! HOLY SHIT’ and we are at Brian/Linds scene ‘why am i not surprised that she ran to him for help? Since when is Lindsay such a bitch? *pauses tv and looks at me all sad* do you think Brian is messed up because his parents stayed together? I mean its one horrible home versus two horrible homes. I know that’s probably why he hasn’t told Blondie he loves him and why he pushes people away but like do you think it would change shit? *looks at me annoyed bc all i did was shrug in my defense im still a little sick* oh come on dont you have a psychology degree or something (this is where i looked at him funny and tell him that i absolutely do not have that) oh…do we know anyone that has it because i have questions’ *starts ep again* ‘why is Ted not going on the ride? Whats going on? So Justin AND Ted aren’t going? WHAT is happening?’ Mikey told Ben about Carl and then he says “after all thats what two people do when they love each other, right? Get married” ‘well…not always. I mean i get marriage is like a big deal cause hospitals or like taxes or whatever but other than that? Its just too much work.’ ‘I love Blondie so much but let’s be fucking real, try to imagine Brian sleeping in a tent outside. FUCKING MICHAEL WHY CANT HE KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT! Let Justin ditch LA for a trip! Wait Brian is not going either?! Hold the fuck up? So he’s out? HOLD UP. Go on a ride without Brian and sacrifice his future? WHAT? So wait is Brian lying about not going or what? Is he lying to get Justin to go for his career? WHAT IS HAPPENING’ (all this was said very fast but also with many pauses and stuttering) ‘damn it, Mikey is actually cute! So wait the only people doing the ride are ben, hunter and Mike? the fuck?’ ‘I’m so happy that Emmett and Ted are back to being friends. EMMETT IS GOING ON THE RIDE! Aw they’re gonna ride together! At least I’ll have them two if Brian and Justin aren’t going’ and the trip to canada has started ‘so Brian is really not going? Aw he came to see them off.’ (He paused the ep to rewind back to the handjob motion hunter does and then he pointed to Brians reaction and went ‘that was either cute uncle/nephew shit OR actor dude smiled for real’) ‘i hate that he’s not going. And that Justin isn’t going. Fuck LA. Im glad Bri is being safe but it still fucking sucks.’ ‘Aw carl (carl is about to propose) sucks that he cant go. HOLY SHIT! THATS HOW HES PROPOSING?! it kinda fits for debbie not gonna lie.‘
Oh my god! the back and forth about Brian and Justin and who’s going on the liberty ride and who’s going to LA is so frustrating. I swear the writers had nothing else to do.
oh come on dont you have a psychology degree or something (this is where i looked at him funny and tell him that i absolutely do not have that) oh…do we know anyone that has it because i have questions
Shyly raises hand… you can let your brother know I have a psychology degree (three of them!) when this is all revealed. I’ll answer any questions he has.
I’m rushing through my reactions to these a bit because I have work but just know that I’ve read and reread them and died laughing.

what’s your favourite thing about set it off?
jokes on you trying to make me pick one thing HA *cracks knuckles*
first of all. they are very talented, they work very hard, and they don’t quit. (yes i said three things but they all go together). they’re very humble about it too!! this band has been through some tough shit, have gone through numerous lineup changes and people stabbing them in the back and nothing can stop them.
and in terms of musical talent, i know at least for cody, when the band was first started people were telling him to quit singing because he sucked. but he has put in so much work and got private lessons and his voice has dramatically improved. like listening to sio’s first ep and what cody sounds like now you get fucking whiplash lmao. and like. just generally a vocalist, he is very very good at That Thing He Does, like creating a certain tone with his voice that lends well to some of the angrier edgier sio songs and i just. love that. i wanna do that. his voice is so impressive now id like to learn from him
and i cant really speak for zach because ive never like heard him play solo or show off but maxx is a fuckin amazing drummer and he’s super humble about it too. and yea theyre never self depricating, just humble!
second thing: they’re always looking to grow. they have let their sound evolve, experimented, and it’s really a trip to hear what they souned like for a song like hush hush versus upside down. once again, whiplash, but they always pull it off. theyre always looking for new directions and new things to try and i know they already have a plan for the next era and i’m so excited for it.
another thing: they care about the fans’ wellbeing and comfort. back in march something came out about one of the bands opening for them that tour that they were making some of the fans uncomfortable and they kicked them off of the next leg of tour immediately.
i could keep listing off examples. in march i passed out at a show, and once i was on the floor the crowd helped the band stop before the next song started, and then everyone was dead silent and stood back patiently while i was being helped. and then in july when i saw them again, zach said “nick youre back!” implicating that when he posted about me passing out on his twitter he saw my reply and checked to make sure i was okay, AND he learned my name! i also saw him checking up on me throughout the show to make sure i was okay and honestly he’s such a fucking blessing!!
another thing: they’re dorky as hell and kind of hilarious. like that’s been there from the start, they have so many silly videos on youtube and they’re hilarious, stupid, and just unashamedly dorky. like seeing them all interact with each other and act stupid makes you want to be friends with them. at least thats how ive felt lmao they are CLOWNS
another thing: they’re very genuine. everyone ive seen talk about it has said they act the same way on camera as they do off camera. and theyre so respectful! they’ve all been very respecful to me when i’ve met them and they have purposefully avoided misgendering me because i think they still don’t know what my pronouns are. also in duality era they preached this whole message about not being afraid of being human, wearing your flaws on your sleeve, knowing that emotions are a human experience, and not being ashamed of yourself.
one other thing: maxx is so fucking nice to me. i watch his streams on twitch and some THINGS have happened ok. one time i requested my own song and he was like impressed that i did it myself and was like asking me questions and giving me positive feedback and i loved that!! and then one stream he had us all watching sio covers and he put up one of my covers he had seen before literally just to hype me up to everyone like he was LITERALLY showering me with compliments, and then he watched what had been my newest cover too and complimented me on that too, and then when that was all over i was like “tysm its so wild that my favorite band supports my music i love you so much” and he said “well nick its easy to support someone when they’re talented so. you’re doing great. you’re incredible. keep it up. it’s amazing” i fucking almost CRIED ok and in addition to that they’ve given me like a whole new audience for my covers because they keep fuckin supporting me back like damn i stan a band that stans me back!!!
and just in general maxx is so soft and nonthreatening and like 99% of maxx stans are queer and he said “gender is a social construct” and he said “be gay do crimes” (after some encouragement thx madi) and several times in streams he just openly talked about how he tries to support the community and fjsjsd he purposefully avoided deadnaming me onstream when he got an amazon package from me with my deadname on it
lastly. their music is just so cathartic. like there are a fuck ton of angry songs and theyre all fun to sing at the top of your lungs, but they also have feel good dancey songs, and their lyrics are always so honest. and ppl try to pigeonhole them but like they are beyond all that
in conclusion i love the set it off boys
thanks for coming to my ted talk the past year has been a fucking rollercoaster ride

Tag Game
Oof it’s been a HOT while since I was tagged in something, but thanks to the wonderful @the-subservient-human i get to have a tolerable morning to start school, so thank you, my depressed ass has something to do :)
Rules: Answer 21 questions and tag 21 people you want to get to know better.
———
Nickname: No, technically. My real name is kinda long (for me at least) so I kinda chopped that shit in half and just let people know the first part. But it’s also technically my name people call me on emails and attendence in school so technically, no.
Startsign: Aries (baby!)
What I’m Wearing (atm): Unfortunatly my school uniform sksksk
Dream Job: Becoming a director (as big as Quentin Tarantino for example) and my films I make are highly appriciated as iconic.
Favourite Quote: “This Lantern Doth the Hornèd Moon Present” from George Harrison (from the Shakespeare skit the Beatles did in ‘64) or “Everyone has a right to the throne, if they can take it.” From Pote Galvez in the show Queen of the South.
Favourite Food: This changes ALL THE TIME but right now probably cheesecake.
Favourite Movie: John Wick, Of Course. (Whoever loves John Wick will get that reference sksksk)
Favourite Sport: Basketball or Baseball, but I don’t play them often. If dance counts as one then that one of course.
Dream Trip: A good tie between Singapore, Japan and Italy.
Languages: Sadly, I live in a country where English and French are the main dialects but only speak one of them whoch is English. Although, I can kind of understand Filipino (I am) and some Spanish terms and Japanese terms. I can swear in Spanish and Swedish though.
Favourite Song: REAL good tie between Cool Cat by Queen or Boys by The Beatles. (This shit changes everytime so this is just recently dksks)
Favourite Book: For finished reading, it would have to be The Shining by Stephen King and for currently reading, it would have to be Ann Rule’s The Stranger Beside Me.
What Do I Hate: Ignorant, Incompetant and Homophobic people. As welle as when people treat me like a kid or ‘baby me’ just because I’m younger and short. It happens more than you think. Also being stupid.
Random Fact: I’m a big HOE for Conspiracy Theories.
Describe Yourself as Aesthetic Things: A small japanese made sketchbook, fairy lights around a room, vintage polaroids, soft 6:00 pm summer lighting, a washed out colour of a wall with nothing but a sunflower/pink rose, sunshine spilling out the window with a little rainbow reflevtive from the glass. As well as vintage music and a black electroc guitar. To summarize, imagine a vintage, grunge, pastel aesthetic from tumblr.

Any Updates to New Fics?: Um, not recently just because I haven’t gotten my shit together after being in such a big play in my school, and the new semester that is now leading to midterms???? Idk junior year/grade 11 is hard. But probably now yes, since I dropped a class and such a weight has lifted from my shoulders.
