feel like not enough people watch (or even know abt) Pushing Daisies
Like this is coming from someone with no attention span for things over 20 minutes, who hates live action.
Pushing Daisies has 40+ minute episodes and is live action and I love it and I watched the whole thing
This thing could literally be animated, it’s literally a cartoon but with real ppl (and not like those cartoon to live action movie things)
Literal fairy-tale style narrator every ep, and insane cartoony villains and fun wordplay and jokes and it’s a murder mystery and a romance and it’s very good

Something not only me but many other people have pointed out, is how Shadow throughout the whole new episode, was actually just tying to help/save Sonic in like every scene we see him in.
Tumblr media
Sonic is preoccupied with his thoughts and didn't see the shard coming at him, and Shadow noticing this saves Sonic. And they even have fun playful banter as they go to the Grim.
"Thanks buddy!"
"Don't get used to it."
"Wouldn't dream of it!"
Shadow isn't annoyed. And I think that's really great development from his first appearance in the series!!
When fighting the bots, Shadow tells Sonic to go get the prism while he does the hard work of trying to defeat the chaos bots. He sees Sonic fall from the top of Nine's tower and he's immediately worried and tries to go save him from the fall but is not fast enough so Shadow goes to protect Sonic's body from the bots while Sonic regains consciousness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sonic doesn't catch on as quickly but Shadow immediately understands what Nine is implying that he doesn't have all the prism energy. And he immediately goes from shock to pure anger. He's angry of how Nine would go to the lengths of draining Sonic of his prism energy.
Tumblr media
And immediately tries to take Sonic away front the Grim by throwing Sonic out of the way. And in the process, he has to go up against the bots all by himself and eventually-
Tumblr media
He gets thrown into the canyon that could be god knows how deep. And who knows what might happen to Shadow. He might be found by the bots and taken to Nine, or he could be just left there to bleed and die. Probably Sonic will be the one to save Shadow.
But the fact is Shadow did all this to get Sonic AWAY FROM NINE.
And not only does he always keep a lookout for Sonic when they're facing Nine, he is also trying to look out for Sonic as they try to escape Ghost Hill.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He tugs Sonic away from the mountain that is one of the first things to collapse because he knows Sonic is still reeling from the events of what just happened.
Tumblr media
Shadow tries to reach out to Sonic to perhaps comfort him?? He's not angry or annoyed, he just gave a reminder to Sonic that the Ghost Hill version of his friends weren't real. And later on when Sonic was lamenting about Ghost Hill and the shards are now all gone, Shadow offers him a compliment that lights up Sonic's whole mood.
And in many other examples I can't show because Tumblr only has a 10 photo bullshit, Shadow has showed that he puts Sonic's life in front of his. And that Shadow actually cares for Sonic and they aren't just 'enemies' who 'hate' each other.
.
Anyways, someone drug me.

Things in the third episode (Gems - cause I'm a gem enjoyer first and human second) of season 10 that continue to declared it as one of my favorite seasons:
• Jumping from a tower the height of a mountain "good thing I widened the river huh?"
• "Whatcha doing there?" - "Just going through my chests" Tango changing his chest sign to say they're Gems chests, followed by Gem calling him a pushover with both giggling
• Gem pointing Grian out for still fishing, especially after spending 2½ hours on stream with him doing the same
• "With a bit of help from a friend-" zooms in on Grian standing in the distance unmoving
• Intense planning to kill the guardian with tnt, only for it to be one more hit to kill. Going for the others and Grian going "wait there's more than one?" Followed by Gems "Griannnn"
• "There's a pillager outpost" - "I wonder if they have allays" - "No, this is how it happens Gem. We're gonna be lost in the wilderness."
• "Fish stop!" - "Grian!" Immediately pulls out fishing rod as well and fishes too. They have a problem your honour.
• Tango and Gem geeking out over the Guardian sound on the noteblock
• "No more distractions" immediately getting distracted again. Multiple times. And starting a raid.
• Ethos offended little "you punched me! You always punch me!" And Gems "You act surprised, like you never met me before."
• Etho wanting Gems Sniffer egg head, doing a whole thing about it. "You could have just asked" - "You could have said no" - "I don't say no to you often"
• THE LIGHTHOUSE AND THE FLYING FISH GOD DAMN IT LOOKS AMAZING

some rhaenicent fic recommendations
grey ridge (ríl liatroma) by molter ( @molter-writes ) - married with kids; business drama; they’re sickeningly cute; arguably the best thing ive read in the fandom; 10 out of 10; read it like 6 times; if you haven’t read it dude what are you waiting for
ride the dragon (and do it quickly) by molter - the #roadtrip fix it 
love is complicated by molter - Alicent is an actress and Rhaenyra is her rich best friend; they idiots and they’re in love; Laena is featured and she is fed up
leaf and blade by molter  - it’s summer; they’re hiding their relationship; they’re teachers; and my all time favorite tag ‘harwin gets a whistle’ 
cleopatra by dontaskmedude   - divergence from episode 4; Joffery does not die; Laenor and Rhaenyra do everything right; Alicent and Rhaenyra raise their kids together 
someone to watch me die by dontaskmedude  - this is just, this is just depressing; good but depressing; like if hurt/no comfort is your thing this is for you; it’s just so, so sad; Alicent in chains/Rhaenyra half year queen era but no happy ending; do not read this if you want them to be happy 
Untouchable by mylordshesacactus - young rhaenicent; if Aemma never died and if Alicent never married viserys; i love this story so much you dont get it
Blame it on Fate by Lumyart ( @lumyart ) - they’re rival co hosts; well, actually, they’re rival co hosts in Alicent’s mind; Rhaenyra is thoroughly enamored (as per usual) 
you don't know what love is (if you don't put up a fight) by tansymeadows - viserys manages to last a couple extra days and Rhaenyra returns after Alicent blinked her pretty brown eyes and said “you’ve only just arrived”
The Silver Queen and the Lady in Green by WanderingFan - idk how to explain this; honestly just read it; it’s really good; slow burn; like incredibly slow burn im on chapter 26 rn and they’ve only just become friends a couple chapters ago but god is it worth it 
is it too soon to do this yet ('cause I know it's delicate) by Arvedui - episode 1 divergence; it’s cute; they’re cute 
would it be enough (if i could never give you peace?) by Arvedui  - Jeyne Arryn my beloved; you and Laena would get along splendidly when it comes to these two nitwits ( i say with affection) 
Midnights Like This by pure_black_wings - based on Taylor’s album; college setting; slow burn
Duty and Sacrifice (A History of Rhaenyra the Blessed by Archmaester Gyldayn) by TheIronDragon10    (@theirondragonrants) - now when i say i love this story i mean i LOVE this story; if you ever wanted to know what the House of the Dragon looked like thoroughly united then LOOK NO FURTHER; top tier; it’s wonderful; it has angst, it has joy, it has family and sibling vibes, it has slow burn, it has pain and healing and love everything i could ever want from a realistic version of canon where my girls can be happy; emphasis on realistic because the irondragon does not pull any punches 
Cleaving to Rhaenyra by WanderingFan - another episode 4 divergence 
you’ve got your demons (darlin’ they all look like me) by geralehane    ( @geralehane ) - the reincarnation au 
lying (in the hollows of your heart) by wakesiren ( @wakesirens)  - read this for the last scene of chapter 3 and thank me later; update: READ THIS FOR CHAPTER FOUR AND THANK ME LATER
towers and dragons verse by beepboop (permanganato) - Alicent is one adorable nerd okay and Rhaenyra just loves her 
what is it good for? by bluebaric ( @viscountcrow ) - arranged marriage au; Rhaenyra is a war hero; Alicent is perpetually terrified for her life  
tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart by alphayamergo   ( @sydneysageivashkov ) - this was just, this was just hilarious; like picture Corlys and Otto snarling at each other from across the council room trying to convince Rhaenyra to marry either Alicent or Laena and that’s what this is
thine is the queendom by liadrell ( @lesbianalicent ) - this was an excellent read, really good character dive on alicent

I got a good feeling about "The Acolyte"
Not even kidding. Like, I've spoken before about why I'm wary of it.
George Lucas' Star Wars is something that intentionally has black and white morality, rather than shades of gray. Those movies are meant for kids and projecting a "gray" morality onto them then proclaiming it was George's vision all along is doing so in bad faith.
The narrative of the Prequels doesn't frame the Prequel Jedi in as negative a light as Leslye Headland, Dave Filoni, etc etc do.
See here for more details, but bottom line: yeah, a show that has a darksider as the underdog is bound to demonize the Jedi (who are the actual underdogs in the Prequels), and obviously that rubs me the wrong way.
BUT.
The trailer looks fucking cool. It really really does.
youtube
And more importantly? I've done some research... and Leslye Headland is ticking a lot of good boxes, in my book.
1. The Acolyte won't be a 10-hour movie.
I've criticized Disney Plus shows before, explaining that a big source for most of their issues is that these series are being structured as "long movies" rather than, y'know, actual shows.
But in this interview with Collider, Headland addresses that: it'll be a series. Not a long movie that you need to watch across four weeks.
Tumblr media
Thank God. You have no idea how much that comforts me. Finally a showrunner who's, y'know, actually running a show.
And this goes hand in hand with what she told IGN, here, about how she's going about building suspense.
Tumblr media
Yes! Exactly! That's how it's supposed to be!
Like, compare this to Baylan Skoll's storyline in Ahsoka.
In no possible way was that emotionally-fulfilling. For 8 episodes we had no idea what he was after, and the season ended where we still don't know. What does he want? What is he after? Your guess is as good as mine, it's something Mortis-related.
So yeah. Maybe getting the Emmy-nominated trained screenwriter on board to run this was a good idea.
2. Maybe the Jedi will not be as demonized as I originally thought.
Don't get me wrong. 80% of what she says about the Jedi makes me cringe. It's the typical fan's interpretation and y'all know I disagree with that interpretation.
Tumblr media
It's painful to see her refer to the Jedi as an institution (not how the Prequels' narrative frames them) and to see her frame "Balance" in the "oh there's so many of them and just two Sith, that means the Force is out of balance" meaning... but at least she acknowledges the Jedi are a benevolent institution.
They're not an "elitist force hiding in their ivory tower" as others have described the Jedi.
Moreover, there'll be a variety of Jedi POVs, many personalities.
Tumblr media
Yord Fandar, is described as a strictly by-the-book Jedi Knight and guardian from the Jedi Temple, is an overachiever and a rule follower.
The question now becomes: will the narrative frame him as "your typical Jedi" or is it just this one guy? I'm hoping it's the latter.
I also like how her reasoning goes re: Jedi drawing their lightsabers.
Tumblr media
Which explains the hand-to-hand combat seen in the trailer.
Tumblr media
This teenager is coming at Carrie-Ann Moss with a dagger, of course the Jedi won't draw her saber.
3. She's a fan of Star Wars... but a screenwriter first.
You can tell in the interviews she's a fan. She's using words like "BBY" and "EU" casually. In the above-linked interviews she's bringing up the Nightsisters, Timothy Zahn, The Clone Wars, she mentions she has a tattoo of Ralph McQuarrie's concept art of Leia, the High Republic books, etc.
She's done her homework. She's a fan.
But the vibe I'm getting from these interviews is that she's weaving in these various lore-elements in a more organic way, rather than in the "fan-servicey" way Dave Filoni has been doing in his shows.
The references and Easter Eggs will be there, but the narrative won't bend over itself just so you can get it. Crafting a good story comes first, and Andor is a beautiful illustration of why this is true.
Tumblr media
Which is why I was never bothered about one of the writers never having watched Star Wars before getting the job. You need those fresh eyes when you're tackling something of this scale.
That makes sense to me. Maybe it's because of my own screenwriting experience, but yeah. That out-of-the box perspective is precious.
And like, obviously, that writer watched the films eventually, but for some reason everyone who bitched about Headland omitted that detail and opted for a more bad faith interpretation.
Hm. Wonder why.
Maybe it's the same reason that months ago this clipped audio circulated socials without context, in which she debates whether Star Wars only came from George Lucas and only Lucas is the key.
Tumblr media
The FULL context of that interview reveals that she's actually:
debating the "autheur director" myth and positing that it was achieved by a collective of excellent filmmakers and craftspeople that George was skilled and smart enough to recruit...
the studios now think it's a simple as hiring one guy and throwing money at him, because they have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. See Napoleon (2023) for example.
Yes, she also does a jab to the Prequels, which speaks to the generation of fans she's a part of... but overall she's giving Lucas props whilst also stating an ideological difference, that's it!
George is a proponent of the "autheur" theory, Leslye isn't.
However, guess what, in like half the talks George gave post-selling Star Wars? He's giving shoutouts to everyone who helped make the first film, even remembering their names.
So I'm not even sure he'd vehemently disagree with Leslye, in fact they'd prolly have a conversation about it and immediately bitch about how stupid studio executives are :D
But that's not as incendiary, is it? Again, the more I do the research, the more it feels like the reason most of these influencers are hating on her is purely sexist.
I mean, on IGN she's even acknowledging that she does plan on taking stock of fan reactions for Season 2.
Tumblr media
It's not a guarantee that she'll incorporate the feedback, but at least that's more consideration than, say, JJ Abrams or Rian Johnson gave the fandom.
She's even bringing the moral ambiguity that the Gray Jedi-loving edge-lords love so much.
Tumblr media
"No, she's a woke feminist! Anything she does is evil! Eww, girls!"
🙄
Needless to say... I'm gonna give it a shot.
I think it's gonna be a good show, I think it's gonna be a solid story.
I'm crossing my fingers that they won't as biased against the Jedi as it seems they'll be. Even if they are... if it's still an enjoyable experience, I'll gloss over it.
As @gffa states in this post:
Worst case? It's not a story from George. I can dismiss it from my headcanon without a moment's hesitation :D

I watched Skizzleman's episode one of HC an hour ago and I love him so much from Phasmo and Life Series but I think this is my first time watching his videos-
He made me cry. I don't cry very often. And tears fell out of my eyes. The thoughtfulness behind making his base the 'tower of needs' or whatever the heck it's called made me cry because that's stupid thoughtful. Like. I struggle so much with self worth and stuff and I don't know why but it was so touching and oh my gods Skizz. Is amazing. Agh.
Also I have binge watched his first four Hermitcraft Episodes and I'm absolutely dying at the way he killed 112 wither skeletons and got no skulls and then Impulse just got a zillion in less? Like? That's so hilarious oh my gods
It did make me wonder whether there's a Minecraft mechanic kinda like the mending book thing where it's a total server kill rate and looting III speeds the cycling process through?
So let's say there's a guaranteed wither skull every twelve skeletons, give or take a few. And say Looting III skips through three at a time. So Skizz kills three wither skellies, which means he's killed 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9, and Impulse kills one, which means that he did 10-11-12, so Impulse got the skull. Maybe.
Hope that made sense. It's either a Minecraft mechanic that has just been really unfortunate for Skizz (sad lmao) or Skizz just has astronomically bad luck which is the most comical thing I've seen in ages.
Also the "okay maybe not this time but next time! okay maybe not this time but next time!" over and over gave me so much joy, so much deja vu, and even more deja vu to Grian and Mumbo's diamond mining session in Last Life.
Skizz is great.

So you've started watching Play It By Ear and you're wondering what the hell the fandom is talking about
(Aka JKEU: Josh & Katrina Extended Universe master post)
Tumblr media
In short: in february 2024 the fandom ran a PIBE fanfic week.
@wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos wrote a beautiful story about Josh and Katrina from Joust Because, based around the idea that they are platonic soulmates. Several other authors picked up the thread of the same universe, and gradually brought in more characters and ships.
Now the extended universe of Josh and Katrina, or JKEU for short, includes tens of thousands of words and characters from almost every episode of season 2. It is a beautiful and mindblowing project where the community is, collaboratively and spontaneously, creating a whole world together.
Not everything fits neatly on the same timeline, and if you would prefer to read the fics in the order they were posted you can do so in the PIBE tag on Ao3. However, if you're looking for the closest thing we can get to a Complete Timeline^tm (extremely loose) of the JKEU, it is this:
let's just be friends. let’s merely intertwine our lives, serving as support and fellow celebrant through the ups and downs of an entire human lifetime. only that by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos
2.     We'll Make the Escape of the Falcon Thief by @incorrect-play-it-by-ear
3.     The Mysterious Mayhem of the Missing Award by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos
4.     like I lived my whole life, before the first light by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos
5.     How to Land a Falcon by @incorrect-play-it-by-ear
6.     I Would Love That by @incorrect-play-it-by-ear
7.     killing me with desire by @starstruckodysseys
8.     Falcon Nitro mark 5 by @incorrect-play-it-by-ear
9.     Baby Steps by @fatestitcherr
10.  Magnets Are a Lot Like Falcons in Many Ways by @vexillologyisenjoyable
11.  my home is in your touch; my heart is in your arms @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos
12.  And They Were Gonna Bust Some Ghosts by @incorrect-play-it-by-ear
13.  my heart is your heart, and i'm learning to share by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos
14.  The Dark Tower by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos
15.  Janice by @incorrect-play-it-by-ear
16. Stained Glass by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos
17.  the distance could never tear us apart by @fatestitcherr
Again, this is *very loose*! Please talk to me if you have input on the order and for the love of god tell me if I missed anything 😅 If you have Thoughts and Feelings about the JKEU you are extremely welcome to come and scream about them in the J & K chaos discord, for the unhinged tumblr gang, created by @shortcakestacks: https://discord.com/invite/qfPk2AfE
This is fandom is, and I don't say this lightly, the most fun fandom I've ever been in. Love you all 💞

EDIT because we have AUs NOW 😍
sing your melody, I'll sing along by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos

Me after the MOTA finale
Tumblr media
My longest (spoilery) ep discussion yet under the cut:
There was…so much, this episode and I’m still raw and emotional. What a rollercoaster. Damn.
First just want to say we got some scenes we wanted like Crosby losing his shit over the locked supply room! 10/10 loved it and Rosie yelling “coca-cola” at the Russians will never not be funny.
I couldn’t breathe in the forced march. And Bucky’s state is still bad and Gale stayed so close. The prisoners getting shot by their own plane was horrible, and happened a lot. Can you imagine surviving years in a camp just to get killed like that?
The scene where the prisoners are in the train goddamn killed me i was not expecting such a sudden shift. Bucky comforting the one guy who was terrified. Them being convinced they were going to be killed and Gale and Bucky’s little exchange??? Gale saying he really did believe they would be the last two in the air, with that horrible lost expression like a kid who can’t understand? Them saying these years wpild have be hard without the other and they wouldn’t have done anything different?
Omg Gale really did say he’s “in” for an escape just to get Bucky to calm down and not get shot 😭
Gale looks so much younger with his fluffy escape hair it makes me sad, and his heartbroken look when his friend got killed…
Let’s talk about Rosie for a second. That scene of him in the concentration camp was so powerful because there was no words, nothing happening, no action/reaction like so many other films. You just sit there with Rosie and realize. Seeing that writing on the wall was…well of course there’s no words. That’s the point.
“Not even the earth that covers our bones will remember us.” The power of that statement sucker punched me and drove home even more determination to keep doing what I’m doing in historical work etc., telling these stories.
THE WAY I FLIPPED MY SHIT WHEN WE SAW THE COMMONWEALTH TROOPS IN THE LAST CAMP!!???! The Indian and Caribbean pilots??? The Sikhs!?? The Australians!!! The Algerians and French colonials??! In love
The last camp riot when the tanks showed up was SO INTENSE and amazing. And honestly the best symbolism of the show was the Nazi flag getting torn up but the mix of all nations that fought, then seeing all the different flags flying as the guys cheered.
Gale’s longing look when he saw the planes dropping food instead of bombs broke my heart. His smiles getting back in the plane and taking the food, seeing the people happy to be helped instead of scared/angry of being attacked. THIS BOY HAS MY HEART.
Bucky in the tower and in the Jeep along side Gale’s plane was TRAIN SLAM OF EMOTION MY GOD.
OF COURSE BUCKY WOULDNT LET THEM SHIP GALE’S LOCKER
Their smiles in the cockpit together, real, sweet smiles after all this time, and ending with all the planes flying away into that gorgeous sky…I have no words. It’s been such an emotional journey and was a powerful ending. I still feel like I could burst into tears any minute.

Reactions to Tsunami Creator's Chapter 179
TL;DR - Cale cautious of using Water AP because he noticed the tattoo changes. More info about the "absolute god." Cale's group secretly enters Hainan.
Cale is Finally Aware Finally, Cale found out about the tattoo changes! He even calls it "rechargeable." 😂 And this discovery made him self-aware too... That if he coughed blood or fainted, his group might do... some crazy things, like Raon seriously destroying Jungwon's statue. 🤣🤣🤣
HOWEVER. While Cale had now become cautious of overusing his Water AP, he still hasn't explained to his group that his blood coughing episodes was just the work of VoH and not something to be seriously worried about... 😑
But him being cautious made some funny moments:
Water AP: The seas are rough! I can calm it! Cale: No. Water AP: Tsk.
Cale: I'll use this cape together with the DA. DA: Yes. *excited* Water AP: What about me? Cale: No. Water AP: Tsk.
Absolute God Info This part made me laugh because one of the lines perfectly fit Cale. 😂 We learn that the Blood Cult worship the absolute god, but this god has yet to exist. Only a few people know that there was no such god, and the rest believe that such a god exists.
The reason they gave was that a god might be created if they worship and pray to a human. Worship was the best way for god creation. And the person they worship was not the Blood Demon. There was no mention of who they worship, but given the past info, it's probably the King's Successor?
Amusingly, this applies to Cale too. Clopeh pretty much worships him already, Durst is serious about founding Caleism in Xiaolen, and Cale's recent actions in the Central Plains are laying the foundation of Caleism there too... 🤣🤣🤣 Cale is ticking off all the requirements on the How To Be a God checklist. RIP Cale's Slacker Life Dream... 🪦
Hainan Island The group enters a cave in the island where the first jiangshi experiment failures were dumped. The numerous bones there reminded Cale of Mogoru's alchemy bell tower. There was also info about the priestess who resided in Heavenward, a 10-storey blue building on the island.
Oh yeah, Cale was planning to use the Cape of the Sun item he got as a reward from Xiaolen. We learn that it had the effect of raising one's dignity/majesty. So if Cale used it together with his DA, how scary would he become? Enough to be mistaken as a god? Ufufu 🥰
Ending Remarks Chapter was boring again except for the short funny parts and God Cale foreshadowing moments. We'll probably get battle scenes next chapter, or a reveal on which Orsena lady became the priestess. And with all the red flags Cale has planted, I'm really looking forward to the blood coughing moment~! 😍

Just finished listening to Tmagp8 and here are some of my initial thoughts when first listening to it because OH MY GOD
(Spoiler warning)
This is a bit of a stretch, but you know the Assessment feedback of all of it (Structure & Organization – 50%; Knowledge – 40%; Understanding – 30%; Analysis – 10; Source Material Usage – 10%)? What if that's just Alex saying how much we actually know about the meta plot??
is this the new Robert Smirke??
"I propose that because these spaces are devoid of persistent humanity and consistent time perception, they have thus become dislocated from humanity’s shared mindscape, and there are unique health risks to people who are over-exposed to this phenomenon." And when it says this, is it invertedly commenting on OIAR? Like how they just constantly go through statements without actually stopping and trying to make sense of them and because they all work the nightshift, they are thrown out of the loop of normal daytime cycles in a sense? maybe it's commenting on what happened to Colin? Or why Teddy left? Tbh I think there are many factors of this episode that could sort of reflect how things are at the OIAR (like the tower that Terrance can't enter but still knows of its existence is a metaphor to the Magnus Institute that Sam is curious about but doesn't explore it at first because Alice discouraged him not to. But then like Terrance does actually enter the tower that is forbidden and ominous which is similar to how Sam still is looking into the Magnus Institute, as revealed at the end of the episode)
Also the repetition of "It’s my pleasure to welcome you! You are here! Stay awhile!” could sort of link to now that Sam has continued to explore about the Magnus Institute, he won't be able to stop and abandon his investigation into it. Also links to the whole thing of how obviously in TMA there's the whole thing of not being able to leave and how when RedCanary entered the Mag Institute, they didn't leave. And I feel like this is particularly reinforced by this quote from the chef, "The chef spoke again, and though his tone hadn’t changed, it was clear this was no longer a request: “Stay awhile.”"
Also if we are going with the theory of Jon and Martin communicating with the OIAR through statements, then if Martin chose this one, is he trying to say something about their current situation? Like when it says, "They weren’t even windows. They were gaping square holes and beyond them was nothing at all. Any one of the diners could reach out if they had a mind to and plunge their hand outwards into the dark, foreboding and utterly featureless void. There was nothing. Nothing above, nothing below, nothing at all. Nothing, save the tower and the restaurant." Maybe Windows 95 has a darker side to it that we don't know about yet? Or could just be Martin trying to be poetic and lament about his and Jon's current situation? Could link to how alone they both are, and suspended in a void after the change in dimensions? Like the void referred to could mirror what the computer is like when it's turned off? I know it's a bit of a stetch but yeah idk
Also maybe this part (And so when faced with the prospect of being eaten alive, or leaping out one of those windows into pure oblivion… it was no choice at all. I jumped.") is just Martin trying to explain how he went with Jon when destroying the Panopticon in TMA, but instead of being eaten alive, it's having to live with Jon becoming the bigger part of the Eye?
Then there's the whole thing of Alice saying how she doesn't like all the changes that are happening and she thinks that something is going on in the OIAR which I find interesting considering how she was so prominently detached she was before
ALSO COLIN!! Mental health leave? Seriously Lena? Ik he smashed Sam's phone, which probably isn't a good display of stable mental health, but it feels like she is trying to stop him from figuring out what is happening in true a Bouchard style. Brutal pipe murder when you don't want someone telling your archivist about what the hell is going on and 'interrupting your plans'? No, for Lena it's not-so-kindly removing someone when they start to realise you're a secret evil mastermind who's a failed-murderer
ALSO GERRY IS BACK!! FUCK YEAH! AND GEE GEE?! IM DYING- but it's a bit suspicious how he conveniently doesn't remember what happened to him (idk if this has been explained in the ARG, if it has, then just ignore me) and old books?? give this guy a break pleaseee
Also I feel like Camden Epiphany is going to be relevant later on since Gerry said, "Don’t forget Camden Epiphany!". I searched up supernatural theories about Camden, London and this was the first result:
Tumblr media
it could be related or not, I haven't looked into it properly yet
also mention of the hunt?? what do you mean by that Gertrude-
and i'm 95% Celia is the same one from tma universe considering she is looking into "Weird physics stuff: time travel, other dimensions, teleportation, all that good stuff." but time travel?? Celia what do you know?...
ALSO GEORGIE IS BACK YESSSS but is this the same Georgie as tma Georgie? And if Celia AND Georgie from tma are both in this dimension, does that mean that Melanie is too?

A Compilation Of Fans' Favorite Moments YenaxMembers #3
YenaxKun
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
NCT 2018 - Weekly Idol ep347
The show was pretty chaotic since all of the 19 members were at one place. Not everyone had the same chance to speak, show on the camera. Specially Kun as Yena noticed. So throughout the episode she tried to mention her precious member.
"Do you know Kun oppa speaks Korean so well. It's amazing."
"Black On Black is my favorite track because Kun oppa is in it."
"Look at his dimple!"
Fans couldn't help but notice his little smiles whenever she talked about him.
Yena's Vlive (A duck in the Tower) 190927
"And this is where we usually practice with fewer members. Sometimes it's occupied by others. Let me check first."
She opened the door and her eyes lit up.
"I'm showing the fans around. Do you wanna say hi?"
She went in to the room and hugged someone. Then Kun with a cap on his head appeared with a big smile on his face.
"Hello everyone."
He waved to the camera.
"Wayv members are here practicing hard. Their leader looking handsome as always."
"Eyy!"
Some members cheered behind the camera.
"All of them are working very hard. Please support them. Specially my favorite Kun oppa."
"Suddenly?"
"Don't act surprised."
[Un Cut] Take #1 | 2020 YearParty Behind The Scenes #1
"Yena looks good today."
"I look good everyday"
"Yes but you used to be so cute back then."
After his comment she got up and started to annoy him by acting cute nonstop.
Even after a few other scenes, they could be seen at the back. Kun fighting to get away from her and Yena still not letting him go.
Wayv Concerts
It's not one moment. Whenever she attends a Wayv concert she always brings a little pankart about Kun. And fans' favorite is the one with "Can do anything he wants Creative Leadership 10/10 Can do magic God? No Qian Kun"
YenaxDoyoung
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SMTown Concert 2018
Everyone was saying goodbye to the audience at the end of the concert. Yena was trying to go to her members. She was distracted by Red Velvet's members and waved at them but someone in the crowd throw a soft plushie to her. Since it was out of nowhere and hit her head she got surprised and got startled. Doyoung saw it and went to her as soon as he can. It wasn't clear what they were saying but Doyoung started to kiss her head and brushed her hair. Even though she got some hate after that moment fans still love how Doyoung was alerted even by something like that.
Music Bank Interview 200626
She had high ponytails that day and was standing in front of Doyoung. He kept playing with her hair the whole time. She wasn't even fazed at all. It was a simple but sweet moment that made fans go crazy.
NCT 127 Vlive Punch Countdown
"Yena please marry me."
Jaehyun read the comment out loud. Even before she could say something Doyoung sighed loudly.
"Why are guys like that? I already told you , you cant marry her. Be normal."
"Omo, angry rabbit."
Then she hugged his back and stood like for a while.
Just One Of The Very Times Doyoung Claimed Jeno As His Favorite
"Jeno is my favorite dongsaeng."
"This is why you are not my favorite. You hate me."
"What? I don't hate you."
"Then why do you always betray me?"
"Jeno respects me more."
"Because you love him. See, it's a chain reaction."
Then like she was not sulking she started to sing chain in a weird way. Doyoung didn't even bother to stop her. Mouthed to the camera "This is why it's Jeno."
Doyoung Instagram
We all know that Doyoung is the biggest fan of his members. But his instagram story posts are somehow always filled with Yena. It's either him being a fan and praising her or sharing embarrassing pictures of her.

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 20
Wow I can't believe I'm halfway through already
Tumblr media
I am more than a little concerned about what Jiao Liqiao is going to do once she's used this knockout incense on Di Feisheng
Tumblr media
Di Feisheng got stabbed! I am a woman of simple needs. Please let him show up bleeding at Lotus Tower and say he didn't know where else to go
Tumblr media
Has anyone in this drama not been poisoned at this point?
Tumblr media
Oh shit is he dead? He can't be dead, right? But he did pass out and fall into a river...
Tumblr media
Oh he's slamming people into walls. He's fine.
Tumblr media
OH MY GOD HAS HE GOT AMNESIA???? Oh my god. My brain is already conjuring 100 fic possibilities.
Tumblr media
Of course Li Lianhua finds this funny, the little shit (affectionate)
Tumblr media
I mean that's not quite where my mind went but close enough
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH MY GOD. Okay, so he didn't show up at Lotus Tower but he DID write on his hand to look for Li Lianhua, presumably because he knew there was a chance he'd either forget or be found by someone who might follow this instruction
Tumblr media
Are they just going to leave Di Feisheng unconscious on the floor while they interrogate this dude
I can't believe this episode has only been on for 10 mins. So much has happened.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dude: I'll sell you the unconscious dude for A Lot Of Money Fang Duobing: HELL NO Li Lianhua: Actually, yes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He knows his boyfriend so well
Tumblr media
Someone needs to sit Di Feisheng down and give him the talk Zhao Yunlan gave Shen Wei about being more than a tool
Tumblr media
Okay, look, I like amnesia as a trope. I do not like people being lied to and manipulated while they have no memory.
Tumblr media
I love him
Tumblr media
I mean that's not a lie
Tumblr media
Well, at least he still remembers how to antagonise Fang Duobing
Tumblr media
Wait, I thought he had no sense of taste
Tumblr media
Has no memory but has still figured out that Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing are together after just a few hours with them
Tumblr media
Doesn't Li Lianhua have a mask that covers the other side of his face. Are they two halves of the same mask?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dude! I thought we were past this now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Man annoyed that a woman keeps hitting on his boyfriend
Tumblr media
There's already 3 of them living there. Where is she going to sleep? In the same bed as Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng?
Tumblr media
Yes, find out it was him and kick his ass

in reference to the have you read LO poll by god have I tried but god. God...
A vicious cycle. I go okay I really do need to plow through more of it if I'm gonna hang around the ULO reddit, and then I step on the comically placed rake. I can't do a complete skip thing bc I'll be too disorientated on where I'm at in the plot but my brain only tolerates it up until she declares she's missing her dick appointment and like, girl. Please. You committed mass murder (if not genocide) and this is a slap on the wrist considering, let alone that your moms got the worse end of the deal.
Why it's that specific moment idk but the bottom just drops out for me and it's soooo fucking stupid because like, she couldn't have just... bitched about being stuck with hard labor? That's the bitchy shit I'd sort of expect from a privileged nepo baby and even barring the twue wuv story going on it's her actual biggest issue going on right then. What she's presently living out. But yeah no, horny, we gotta establish that she's horny. Okay.
Sorry about the borderline vent over it there's just enough really interesting thoughts mixed up in the pile of flaming garbage to make one go rabid if they stew on it, and you clearly get that given the rewrite. Have a good day.
omg i've had that exact sort of thing happen with me before too tho, not in quite the exact same sense of like, "wanting to take part in a community but struggling to get through the source material it's based on", but there are like, so many webtoons and manga and stories I've tried to read - after being urged to by pals and people who read them - that I've dropped after multiple attempts of trying to read them. And they're not necessarily dumpster fires like LO (though some of them definitely aren't great) it's more like I'm sitting there wondering "when's this gonna get good? when's this gonna be worth all the hype?" Tower of God is the biggest one that comes to mind, I have tried to read that webtoon on SEVERAL occasions and I just can't justify trudging through all those early episodes for it to maybe "get good". And that's not even me saying it's bad, it's just not interesting to me in the slightest. No hate to anyone who likes ToG, I think I've also sorta drifted away from shonen over the years so that's definitely not helping, but I just can't be bothered to try and read that webtoon anymore, I've given it so many attempts and I'm doing lmao Kudos to the creator though because it's a LOT of work to make a webtoon of that length and they should be proud of that.
Back on the topic of LO though, yeah, I was following the comic when that episode was still brand new and it really made us all go 🤨 because of how out-of-pocket it was. And then like an episode (or two?) later she bullied a former classmate of hers from 10 years ago at his job. That was the precedent for Persephone's character that was set for the third season of LO and it's just gotten worse as it's gone on.
Either way, if I'm being honest, you're really not missing much by skipping over the majority of S3 (like, if you made it to the dick appointment episode before giving up then you're already pretty close to the current point in the story). Like I'm not gonna lie, you could easily skip up to the midseason cutoff point because everything leading up to that is just a bunch of nothing. Hades and Persephone get married and it's the most underwhelming scene ever despite it being the moment people had been waiting years for, also they 'adopt' Dionysus but he's barely in the comic except for when Rachel remembers he's a character so you could also get by on minimal details. Oh yeah, and it turns out Demeter had a kid during the 10 year time skip who we see in like two episodes and then proceeds to get fridged forever.
So yeah, as much as I'd recommend people read LO as a sort of "entry ticket" into the crit community surrounding it, S3 is a lot of nothing and you would frankly not miss out on a thing if you skimmed it or skipped the middle portion of it entirely lmao

Loser Round 7: Ken Amada (Persona) vs. Mabel Pines (Gravity Falls)
Tumblr media
Propaganda below the cut
Ken Amada (11):
y'all are all for "murder and revenge plots" until is a 10 y/o boy who watched his mother die and started to become conflicted after realizing his moms killer is a secretly kind traumatized teenager to the point where the 10 y/o boy attempts to kill himself by giving himself up to assassins.
bro he's 10.
----
ken amada is such an interesting character with the unfortunate circumstances of having little screentime and atlus deciding to ruin his reputation forever by giving him a romance choice in the fem protag route. ken is a child who lost his mother at NINE. nobody ever believed him when he said that she was murdered, and that he saw who killed her. hes miserable, and all everyone around him does is give him sympathy while hes suffering and was forced to grow up before even going into middle school. hes angry and determined to get revenge on the person who killed his mother, and he doesnt even see the own value in living anymore beyond getting that revenge. hes more mature than most of his peers, and is desperate to be seen as an adult.but at the same time, he is still a child who likes superhero shows.
----
OH GOD WHERE DO I START
First there's the normal "The fandom hates kids" complaints of "He's so whiny" "he's so annoying" "oh my god kid just SHUT UP" y'know, the typical fandom stuff that makes you wonder if these people have ever talked to a child in their life
Second, there's (spoilers)...
October 4th, and the ENTIRE FANDOM is calling this kid a murderer.
For context, the moment in question doesn't necessarily paint him in the best light but its still understandable. Your team is going on a mission while Ken and another character named Shinjiro are away. In an alleyway, they have a talk where it is revealed that on that night a year priar to the game, Kens mom was killed in that allleyway by Shinjiro's Persona (Which, by the Rules of the Game Lore, basically means By Shinjiro). Ken tried to tell the authorities, the authorities didn't believe him because Magic Reasons and the death was ruled an accident.
Of course Ken is Fucking Pissed and wants revenge
However, because of Talk, he ACTIVELY CALMS DOWN, and realises "Hey, I probably shouldn't kill someone. Despite them, y'know, killing my mom"
HOWEVER REVOLVER JESUS COMES IN AND RUINS EVERYTHING BY SHOOTING SHINJIRO. AND LIKE, IF YOU PLAY P3P YOU CAN /AVOID THE DEATH THING/
AND EVERYONE BLAMES /KEN/. AND ONLY KEN.
And third (yes, there's a THIRD) IS THE FUCKING FEMC ROMANCE THING. WHICH JUST...SHOULDN'T HAVE EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. BUT NOW HE'S "SHOTA BAIT" BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BLAME THE CHILD FOR THE AUTHORITY FIGURE COMING ONTO THEM 😒
Mabel Pines (12):
I literally saw a tiktok today about how Mabel is a bad person. She’s 12! Like yes, she has made some mistakes and bad choices, but so has everyone else. And I never see any of the other characters in the show criticized the way she is. Everyone in the show has made mistakes (Grunkle Stan commits crimes practically every episode ffs) but because Mabel is a 12 year old girl and acts like it, she gets the most hate. Mabel deserves to be loved 🩷
----
girl gets so much flack for being... immature and kind of selfish at age 12? like she had whole video essays made on why she is a horrible person who deserves punishment. god forbid girls be silly
----
!!! Spoilers for Gravity Falls last 5 episodes !!!
This has gone down a lot but when the Weirdmaggedon arc was happening, the finale of the series, a big part of the fandom started hating Mabel because she accidentally caused the Weirdmaggedon (basically an apocalypse + bizarre shit like the water tower becoming an eight-legged monster with a giant mouth).
For context, in the episode that starts this arc, "Dipper and Mabel vs The Future", Mabel is really excited to the end of their summer vacation at Grunkle Stan's house, since it will be her and Dipper's 13th birthday and they will enter high school (her idea of high school of course coming from teen movies). But then this whole idea starts to shatter when Wendy tells her that high school isn't like a Disney musical, but it's okay, she will get through this since she will be with Dipper, her twin brother...
Except, that Dipper receives an invitation by Grunkle Stan's scientist brother Ford to become his apprentice after summer ends, staying in Gravity Falls, without Mabel. When she discovers it, she gets really mad at him and in a fit of rage, she accidentally picks Dipper's bag instead of hers and runs off to the woods.
When she gets there, Blendin, a time-travelling friend of theirs finds her and tells her that he has a way of making her brother stay with her, and make the summer take a little more to end, and that he just needed a little thing that Dipper has in his bag. That thing is a dimensional rift that Dipper and Ford contained to not cause the Weirdmaggedon, but Mabel didn't knew about that and gives it to Blendin. Blendin then breaks it and it's revealed that Bill Cipher was controlling Blendin to get the rift and release the Weirdmaggedon. He then traps Mabel in a bubble, starting the final arc of the series.
So, a few episodes later, that bubble she's in is revealed to be a world of fantasy that she controls, and that she didn't want to leave that world, as she was scared of growing up etc.
Context given, A LOT OF PEOPLE HATED HER FOR THIS. Suddenly people started seeing Mabel as just a selfish girl who wanted things only her way, when she was only a 12-year-old scared of growing up without her twin brother (they do end up going back together at the end but still).
The worst part is that apparently the people behind it took note of this, and on the comics that where released after the finale, she is a selfish spoiled brat. I haven't read the comics though so I'm going off what some people said about it.
