#because it was a fantastic season

[laschatzi]

Is the American Horror Story fandom dead?? Or why else did everyone obviously sleep on season 11? It's so good and so heartbreaking. You're all missing out.

I'm just catching up on it, and there's literally nothing in the tags, no gifsets, no meta, nothing! What a shame.

#ahs #ahs nyc #american horror story #ahs 11 #i guess it's because there are none of the mega hyped fan faves #as if ahs is nothing #without evan peters sarah paulson or cody fern #that's ridiculous #because it was a fantastic season #i bawled throughout the last 2 episodes #gino my beloved #personal

"No body protects nature better than you, sweet Amy."

Whoa, he's bisexual! I didn't know that!

I don't love it as much as I used to but I still find it adorable like sonadow. #We got good food from these hedgehogs. #This was in my drafts since when Season 3 came out and I was so nervous to post this because everyone has OPINIONS about sonamy. #<--- Which I don't blame them for. Some sonamy fans are not really... nice. Let's just put it at that. #Plus everyone has different opinions on sonamy and that's okay! I'm just happy that there are fans with opinions that differ from mine- #-but are also fantastic people I look up to! Makes me feel like I'm not alone 😊

i think we as a society need to stop drawing the gender bent versions of crowley and aziraphale younger and hotter. we have seen crowley present as a woman before and she is clearly still middle aged and lanky. and aziraphale probably wouldn’t get very much shorter or younger. draw them with the wrinkles, cowards

#what’s the post abt the derry girls sister michael and the other woman?? anyway that’s their truest form #they’re only sexier if you as a person find women more sexy #not because they’re drawn as such #ineffable husbands #good omens #aziraphale #crowley #good omens season 2 #maybe/elias' fantastic new thoughts

watching rick beat the ever-living-shit of prime like that felt so real. each swing and hit felt visceral and caused me to flinch each time. watching an actual person take out their frustration, rage, turmoil, and grief in such a way stun-locked me.

seeing him lose his resolve felt so personal to where i felt like i was trespassing on something or watching something i shouldn't have been. it really emphasized to me that rick really is just a jaded, sad old man that's been stricken with ghastly amounts of grief and self-hatred for decades. he's pathetic and he knows that!

and to me he didn't look satisfied or content, he looked... gone. dissociated. like just so checked out. he looked so lost and dejected which made it worse. listening to prime's monologue and watching rick fully lose himself and see how fragile his mental state really is was so uncomfortable in such a good way.

#i need a shot i need a drink i need a blunt i need SOMETHING #this ep made me laugh cry and shit my pants #this probs isn't revolutionary or anything but i still had to talk about it because oh my god #this ep was fantastic #rick and morty #rick sanchez #rick and morty spoilers #rick and morty season 7 spoilers #pondposting #rick prime

I think we need to talk more about Izzy in the sixth episode

Like he is being accepted by the crew, finally getting recognised as a true part of the crew and no one says anything about his looks

He just found out about the make up and jumped into this and I love it. Theres no misunderstanding, theres no humiliation, its just him doing what he likes, and thats incredible

And have you heard the singing? Man's an actual siren with this voice

#I love izzy just because he can be rude and sarcastic but he's also honest and quite simple and straightforward #he's just a fantastic character #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd spoilers #ofmd season two #izzy hands #ofmd izzy

btw Still thinking about the moment where Tula first realizes she's literally, mechanically unable to keep up with / catch Jaysohn when he bolts and runs his full speed. That revelation that she's not fast enough to stop him, or get alongside him, much less get in front of him to protect him if he needed it. The dread terror of it. :(

#N posts stuff #dimension 20 #d20: stupendous stoats #burrow's end #Siobhan said it almost like a joke but then Aabria put Weight behind it and oh boy. oh boy. there's Terror there babey!!!!!! #sure hope that doesn't come back in any significant way in any significant scene. ........... #It's like the moment in ep 2 when Tula's initiative fell behind Both Lila and Jaysohn and the only thing she could do was Watch #as they both jumped into the battle ahead of her. because she couldn't keep up with them... #look Sometimes catching a recurring theme in an actual play show doesn't necessarily Mean anything bc of the improv nature of it #but Obviously the dice also tell stories. and Aabria is a Fantastic GM. and the players are Excellent at role play. so it's..... 👀 #certainly not off the table. G-D i'm so invested in this season i'm fully gonna lose my mind no matter what happens lmao #i'm on the edge of my SEAT

Tiny YR S3 Analysis

Just wanted to compare the parallels between these two hand holds in 3x05 and 3x06:

(Please ignore the shitty screencaps, I tried my best)

In terms of composition, these shots are identical. A hand-hold centre to the frame, in a car with the camera placed in the middle. However, they're underpinned by different narrative contexts.

Here, the first shot from 3x05 is drenched in darkness. The actual lighting inside of the car is dim enough to obscure both of their suits, which almost blend them into the seats and so it becomes hard to distinguish between the two of them - The only focussed light is on their conjoined hands. Notably, the actual touch itself is tentative, almost like the bridging of an awkward divide on the way to the palace. Neither of them are sure what the touch actually means. Even their sleeves fall over their wrists and interfere with the actual act, so we only see the bottom half of their hands. Simon reaches out first and places his hand in the open sliver between the two seats before Wille accepts and laces their fingers together. It's an assured squeeze that reads as: "I'm not sure what will happen. I'm nervous." "I am too."

This scene has garnered a lot of analysis for its parallel to the Kristina x Wille car scene in S1 where people have commented on the reversal of blocking - Wille now assumes Kristina's position and Simon equally assumed Wille's. We now know that this arrives before the birthday explosion, and so it's also a touch that signifies confronting the inner workings of an oppressive environment (the palace). It's nerve-wracking and cautious and consolidating, but it's also doubtful. We, as spectators, pick up on visual and physical cues and so we begin to see the hand-hold as an visual indicator that the unity between the two characters is about to be disrupted.

~~~~~

However, the shot in 3x06 reads entirely differently. The first thing is that the shot is bathed in light. It's a bit like an embrace, contrasting the previous presentation of a cold backseat, Simon and Wille are literally basking in the sun. Most importantly, there is a light flashing on Wille as it seeps in from the windows, illuminating his spot as a person who is newly free. Simon sits to the left with the natural light (no abundance of light) because Simon has always strived to be free. He has never turned away from the light. As he said earlier in the episode: "I never gave up on us. I gave up on the royal court." For Simon, the issue was never the fear of being free, but the constraint of not being free. For Wille, fear hung over his shoulders just like a King's robe would. Being free was an aspiration, never a reality.

But that has all changed. The light is let in. It stands similar to a spot-light, where Wille finally lets the sun hit his body and not have it scorch him, but rather enlighten him.

The actual act of holding hands is no longer bridging an uncomfortable space; It's an assured togetherness. It is the two of them acknowledging everything that has happened and knowing that a future for the two of them is no longer a "possibility", but a truth. It's giddy and confident and safe.

It's also the final touch of the season, and so it had to speak louder than dialogue ever could - Which I think that it does. Throughout S1 and S2, we understood that physical touch was always done in private, or if not, it was done discreetly with the knowledge that it was fleeting. S3 saw the transition from private to public, but not without the fight to touch and not have it be seen as a revolution. To just let it be what it is. And THIS is what the show has been working towards for 3 years. It can all be summarised with this simple, final hand hold in a sunny car that's racing towards a future that finally, finally resembles their dreams. It's not overtly revolutionary, it's not a grand gesture; It's just theirs.

“least favorite” isn’t anywhere close to bad. it just shows how damn hard the competition is going, but we’re talking about gold medals all around for each actor i’ve seen portray the doctor so far.

#and again on acting alone. i think i might prefer him over tennant in the long run. #which isnt saying tenannt is bad either its saying like. i just love them both but i love what smith brings to the table just slightly more. #i dont really put the war doctor on my rankings very seriously because he only had the one rpisode. and it was. a bad episode. #but his performance endeared me enough to him eith his haunted eyes and the weight he’s carrying that i would. possibly with a bias. #put him between ten and eleven. #and then first place depends on the day but i think twelve has pulled ahead of nine just barely. like damn. capaldi Gets It man. eccleston #also Got It in similar ways but obviously his shorter tenure did give him less tjme to show it off and twelve’s gotten three seasons to show #just how fantastically capaldi pulls together this grieving weirdo. this man who loves so hard it burns him up. who is so scared of his own #goodness and losing it. he’s so good guys. #god i cant wait to see where jodie falls on this list im really excited for her take. and mr gatwa too. #and the classic who guys obviously. i mean i already like the guy they get to play One in the audios and im really curious how he measures #up against hartnell(?)’s original performance #i know the vibes will be very different than those of nuwho but im excited :)

Okay I want to be 100 percent transparent and say that I do not and will never hold any malice towards the actors in the show. The only things I’m critical of is the writing and the lighting. The actors are doing amazing, I could not think of a more perfect cast they are putting their hearts and souls into the show. The problem is the script.

#pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #leah is my annabeth #leah is our annabeth #pjo show crit #pjo series #Dior does such a fantastic job as Clarisse and I have not seen enough people talk about her #I cannot wait to see her next season because I know she will eat at whatever lacklustre script the writers give her #Charlie is obviously doing an amazing job considering how much TikTok likes him #andrew alvarez literally doing so much with Chris and so little people have been talking about him #Everything has already been said abou the main trio #More people need to talk about how Amazing Aryan is doing

Maybelle is maybe the best fucking person in A League of Their Own. She knows fucking everything about everyone and doesn't say shit, and not in a "teehee, they don't know I could wreck them kind of a way" just in a "Noice, let's play some baseball go you funky little lesbians" kind of way.

I love so many of the characters SO much but in this one particular moment Maybelle gets the limelight.

#a league of their own #how ever queer you've heard it is it is way more queer #we aren't talking 1 conventionally attractive fem lesbian couple #we're talking butch rep #black trans men #drag queens #there are multiple rather modest sex scenes throughout the season #and only one of the features a penis in vagina sex and it barely counts as straight sex #because it's a lesbian trying to see if she could live the lie with her unwitting beard #baseball and the season is there to drive the plot forward but it is not in fact the plot #the queer folks growing into themselves is the plot #and it's fantastic

I've reached season 5 on my CSI rewatch and I'm a few episodes past "Swap Meet", where a woman is murdered after attending a swing party with other couples from the neighbourhood. Near the end of the episode there's a moment that made me jump from my seat:

(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two cups. He hands her a cup of tea.)

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - BRASS' OFFICE]

Erin Brady: Everybody fantasizes about other people. (She glances at Grissom.)

Even you, Mr. Grissom. A neighbor, a friend ... girl at the office.

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - HALLWAY]

(The door opens. Paul Brady walks out of the hallway. Erin Brady walks out into the hallway. Sara is sitting in the hallway chair watching them. She watches as they meet and kiss.)

(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two culps. He hands her a cup of tea.)

LIKE!!!!!!!

Right after Erin ends her sentence with 'girl at the office', the first time Sara and Grissom meet again, he brings her tea. This might be an innocent interaction but to me it seemed like a nod to this relationship they have where both are into each other, know about the other's feelings, but can't/won't do anything about it (although Sara has kind of given Grissom an ultimatum). I don't know if it was intentional - I'm guessing it is, because I picked it up immediately. I might or might not have squealed in delight.

#csi #gsr #i'm very Normal about them btw i don't think about them 50 times per day or anything #need to talk more about these two here #because im obsessed about them in a Normal way #sara is like. my dream wife. i totally get grissom being in love with her for years and barely holding it together #i would not though #i'm 1000% sure she's bi. but the writers have been cowards so far #also she and i dress THE SAME. yes i love 2000s clothes so what #i could talk about her forever she's everything to me #and grissom. oh grissom. i also get why she's been in love with him forever #i mean what the FUCK went down in san francisco did they hook up and sex was so good it scared them #and now they have to live with that tension and they're scared of crossing that line #nah i'm guessing with these two they just REALLY clicked. like. they were an instant match and they knew it #but grissom didnt want to lose focus on work or whatever and they lived in separate states you know #but oh my god i totally get sara. grissom is such a silver fox. he's like one of the hottest old men i've ever seen in my life #you know what i 100% get tumblr sexualizing old men it's completely valid i'm in this now too #he has this LOOK. whenever he's angry at a suspect. and he looks angrily at them. i'm chewing on my keyboard just remembering it #and his smirks #AND THE WAY HE LOOKS AT SARA #im losing my mind #i love all of gil grissom but seasons 4-5 jesus fucking christ #ok enough with the sexualizing i love him as a character SO MUCH. he's absolutely fantastic #one of the things i love the most about him is that he doesn't judge people. whenever the team is confused about someone #or this persons' lifestyle #he's always trying to understand them and not judge them #like a true scientist he wants to understand the nature of things and people #and he's such a sweetheart i love him so much #like there are so many things i love about him i can't fit them all in the tags. same for sara #they're a perfect match for me
