#because they have the bus metaphor yknow

[sunshinemarauder]

I’d LOVE to hear about the emoji choice 👀

FUMING because I just typed like a 300 word response and tumblr erased it. i hate my life oh my god but here you go & tyvm for asking!

seven is one of my favorite songs ever bc of the nostalgic, wistful tone to it - and i will forever & always interpret it as a young sapphic awakening (“your braids like a pattern / love you to the moon and to saturn” is about a girl, “sweet tea in the summer” as a reference to baby taylor’s unreleased Sweet Tea & God’s Graces that’s about britney from me and britney (?), and obvi “you won’t have to cry or hide in the closet”). definitely is influenced by my young sapphic experience but the emoji represents the two girl best friends depicted in seven.

Cornelia Street beloved!!!! love this song SO MUCH and it's my #1 from Lover! as for the emoji, it's a bus stop emoji so it's both the closest thing to a street sign (to represent, yknow, cornelia "street") as well as a subtle nod to the cafe called The Bus Stop ("i thought i saw you at the bus stop, i didn't though" from the 1) that's near Cornelia Street and the West Village IRL. how these two songs are connected make me sooooo ! but that's a conversation for another day / another ask.

my tears ricochet is an obvious one - just the tear emoji haha

ivy is a bit obvious too, but it represents the imagery of spring, clovers blooming, and rebirth that is present in the song. on second thought i should have put a clover emoji LMAO. also obviously another mega gay song (hello emily dickinson)

Dress was a basic emoji choice but i was tempted to just put a bunch of rainbow emojis and call it a day - bc "i don't want you like a best friend" and "our secret moments in a crowded room / they got no idea about me and you" "all of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation" so 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Sparks Fly was just a spark/star so nothing much there lol

The Way I Loved You definitely had some reasoning behind it! the song itself gives off lots of compulsive heterosexuality vibes (comphet) w/ the interchanging descriptions of "he" who is sensible and patient and everyone thinks they are great together - but "he" doesn't make the narrator feel anything, just "perfectly fine," whereas the character "you" (note the lack of gendered descriptors) is what the narrator misses; "you" makes the narrator feel "a roller coaster kind of rush." therefore the mask emoji represents the mask the narrator wears to pretend like she's still into the guy that can be interpreted as comphet if you want to.

State of Grace was the start of the gold/fire-imagery motifs that taylor began using in her music w/ “this is the golden age” and “twin fire signs / four blue eyes”, as well a continuation of the religious metaphors and the allusions to sin (a state of grace is a christian reference). i love this song x1000 because it’s BEAUTIFUL and hence i am giving it a gold star :)

This Love has always been a fav song of mine bc of its ethereal, gorgeous production - and i chose a shell emoji as a nod to its beachy vibes, the picture of the Taylor’s Version single cover (bc 1989 is a seaside album), and “clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in” and “sinking ships”. also, This Love, Wildest Dreams, and Clean are totally about the same person!

You Are In Love is a new favorite - I’ve always loved the beauty of the simplicity, but I love it even more now, after the many discussions (aka breakdowns) we’ve had over percabeth and YAIL over on discord (@ange @allie @mi). gorgeous gorgeous song and the two girls / best friends emoji is because “you’re my best friend” which is totally a breakdown-inducing line. and also bc we all know how much lovers can parade as near-identical “best friends” 👀 fair warning i will never believe that YAIL is about jack and lena and frankly that’s blasphemy to the true muse of the song lmao.

ANYWAYYYY thank you for listening and obliging me and sorry for the essay-length response you got!! feel free to send me stuff like this anytime xx

“a few more souls on the bus now” took me out

#personal #because they have the bus metaphor yknow #they are a bus they are driving and people get on and off but they're always on the bus #5sos #take my hand #5sos5 #guys i really liked this one. more than i thought i would #i've been keeping expectations low so i'm not disappointed by anything #but i *really* like this which is kind of strange because it feels very wftt and i've only listened to that album like three times #of course it still has the 5sos flair so maybe that's what's doing it too #like. despite luke being the sole writer and the lyrics dealing with a lot that wftt dealt with it feels like a 5sos song #which i also assume is michael's producing at work #lyrically there's so much else i could say too #i feel like this entire album is going to be a love letter to the band and to their journey and to themselves #and i for one am very very excited about that #i'm going to get super sappy if i keep going but it's just so obvious that they're happy with where they're at #and that's being reflected by their music in a way that it hasn't yet before #because i think they haven't had this peace and joy with it before #okay that's all from me on the song now lol i won't post any more spoilers

come one come all to see me venting my feelings to the void in hopes that it might turn out to be a void/fish/ and just fucking eat them and ill forget they ever existed

#ive literally just kind of. dissociated for pretty much the whole last couple of days #had a Panic Attack in a crowded public bathroom bc some child somehow managed to unlock my fucking stall and uh yeah #other than that? mostly just dissociation and crying every single time im alone #:)))))) #yknow inside out? how All her Core Memories or w/e were based around like the one town and then they moved and like #Suddenly Theyre All Fucken Tainted(tm) #WELL #guess whose fuckin personality islands are falling apart as we speak because their 15yo self decided #to put all their recovery eggs into ONE band basket #(thats not entirely true but like. /many/ recovery eggs.) #(this metaphor is falling apart.) #but like idk i was finally starting to like. feel /ok/ and stuff and like yeah i hate myself thats never gonna change but like #i hated myself i didnt hate /the world around me/ i didnt hate /life/ and maybe hates a strong word but like #suddenly my whole world is tinged with fucking sadness and /anger/ and thats the one i feel guilty for is how fucking ANGRY i am #anyway i cant tell if i hate being sad or being Completely Emotionless more -- think its the second option if im totally honest with you bu #basically i hate them both and id like to not have them thanks. #:))))))))) #its like 1am and im gonna try to get some sleep but yeah im.

[helloitsbees]

since the theater was COMPLETELY empty i was able to take notes during the entirety of the goldfinch. here are my thots (spoilers included):

ok limited aspect ratio im into it

the narration is uh. not very good

oddly enough I’m getting twilight new moon vibes w/ the seasons changing through the window

“HE IS A MINOR CHILD” ACTUAL QUOTE

step one: adopt child

step two: offer child a stiff drink

no kid in this movie acts like a human

“MY MOM BLEW UP OVER THAT SHIT TOO” ACTUAL QUOTE

kids are literally shoving him in the halls after his mom literally died. this movie has all the subtlety of Reefer Madness

you give the kid pills but not therapy. okay

Only Smart People Play Chess And Also It’s A Metaphor For The Protagonist’s Current Situation

why are they letting him just wander the streets of new york after what happened to him???? hello???????

“you’re the boy whose mother was killed there” i’m sure that applies to a lot of kids who were there but ok

that looks like the world’s best grilled cheese

god im hungry

“sorry, i’ve forgotten things” y’know, how Real Kids talk

“you look like someone who listens to Beethoven” thats a cold accurate read honestly

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP OFFERING DRUGS TO THIS CHILD

does this mini flashback happen on the same day or does he literally just wear the same clothes every single day

no wait Pippa’s wearing different clothes he’s wearing the same sweater every single day

he sounds like he’s reading lines in a middle school play

okay he looks a lot like ansel elgort when he does that half smile thing, a+ casting

WHO DO I HAVE TO BLOW TO GET A CUP OF COFFEE AROUND HERE

god why is the child acting so fucking BAD

“they’ve grown quite fond of you” Y’KNOW, HOW NINE YEAR OLD KIDS TALK

SARAH PAULSON

wait she’s terrible

please stop drugging the child

the house in Vegas looks like the model home from arrested development

oh so they’re the worst. got it

what the fuck is up with ansel’s diction/accent

okay im very happy with the Complete Disregard for the potential Pippa/Theo subplot. i can hear the heterosexual shock from here

fact check, you can’t buy two drinks at once for yourself in new york it’s against the law

the music is WAY too much for the scene where he sees nicole kidman again

wait so if he lives nearby then why hasn’t he visited them at all

oh god the sister’s gonna try to seduce him isn’t she

ok good she didn’t

nobody:

          absolutely no one:

          not a soul:

          finn wolfhard: HÄH!

cowboy hat guy looks like steve carell in foxcatcher

“THATS ME, PURE SCORPIO” and then his textbook title is literally scorpio SUBTLE

bastard and casey

“how will we know when they [the drugs] start working?” jump cut to the boys lying by a pool talking about how boris’s dad killed a guy

slfkfkfjadlgllglajaj the dad is such a SCUMBAG

“act normal” bud neither of you have been acting normal since this goddamn movie started

oh god the editing got so bad so suddenly

love that the taxi driver witnessed The Kiss and was just chill for the whole trip to the bus stop. #1 ally honestly

Theo: *gets orphaned*

          music: SO YOURE AN ORPHAN

OH NO HE DID SLEEP WITH THE SISTER

“oh, darling” YKNOW, HOW REAL PEOPLE TALK

wait they’re getting MARRIED

WHY

HES PRACTICALLY HER BROTHER

w h y is the american horror story guy so slimy it’s honestly like he’s from another movie

“ooohhhhh poor brave little bird” consider being chill for like a SECOND

please don’t tell me she’s cheating on him with boris i will Scream

ok she’s not. good

that particular j cut was very very dumb

oh so she’s the worst. got it

it’s really starting to drag rn

wait pippa’s back and she’s calling him “lovely”........oh no.........

she got him a paperback and he got her a first edition SIGKJDJSHXJ ICONIC

aw she’s wearing the signet ring

the lighting is horrific in the dinner scene but only on him and not on her and it’s BOTHERING me

& why are they WHISPERING it’s a RESTAURANT

“POTTER” boy i CRIED

he took conversational russian for him......this is a LOVE story...........

the voice break in “and you love her?” man.........

ok they literally recycled the dialogue

OH SHIT IT WAS HIM WITH THE PAINTING

this is confusing and idk if it’s meant to be

Grown Man Cries Alone With Civics Textbook

oh god the narration is back i forgot about it

“is just for show” *thor voice* is it?

THE FOREHEAD TOUCH

oh shit

well

that could’ve ended better

oh yay Boris is alive

AWWWW HES SAVING HIM

ansel has a dumb crying face

okay this feels like a tacked-on ending. i haven’t read the book but this feels really jarring and different from the whole tone so I’m suspecting it’s different. I could be wrong though

wait so if its his mom’s favorite painting then why’d she go off to look at The Anatomy Lesson again

also its weird that she didn’t take him straight to the goldfinch because everybody I’ve ever know with a favorite painting has always gone straight to it the second they step foot in the museum

ROGER DEAKINS??????

#the goldfinch #it was better than i expected but still very dumb and not very good #GOODNIGHT

MORE UPDATES ON THINGS WHAT HAPPEN

The half week milestone of the hospital house thingie time! I think the term they use for it is "a residential stay"? Cos like its not a hospital its a shared housing block thats just full of doctors. I get to sleep in a real bed and there's a nice community room and board game nights and stuff. But its still really scary how intense the supervision can be! Like they have a window to look into your room once per hour every hour constantly. And they have to go through your undies and catalog them as part of the possessions check. I was not warned about that and it was mega embarassing trying to explain a binder to a bunch of old lady doctors! Oh and i had yo do a urine test today which was possibly the most fuckin embarassing thing in the actual universe. And you're not even allowed to take your own pills! They keep them locked in a big ominous wall of lockers and you have to come into the office and swallow the pill while theyre watching. I guess maybe because some people might be faking their illness and selling their pills on the black market or whatever? But that literally doesnt happen with antidepressants, they have no 'high' or even any effect at all on non-sick people. So it just makes no sense to me and its real embarassing cos like i said i suck at taking pills with plain water and without a straw. The ones i take are real damn chunky things the size of my thumbnail! I think i'l get better at not (literally) choking under pressure over time, tho. Hopefully.

Anyway that's all the bad out of the way! Now the good and the neutral and the just miscellaneous!

Its still nervewracking having to shower in a shared house but they have a cool walk-in shower and ive never tried one of those so it was vaguely interesting. And im allowed to take my showers early at 6am to minimize the chance of anyone else trying to use the door, lol. My biggest fear is having some staff member walk in on me when im naked like back in that homeless hostel. Oh or that time in the homeless hostel where the teenage boys filled the entire bathroom with inflated condoms wall to wall. Like wow so much damn effort to prank the stupid nervous bunni who probably would have been embarassed by literally anything else. Man this place is bringing so many memories of that homeless hostel but at least this time its a place specifically for sick people and they know i'm anxious doing shared cooking and board games and whatever so they dont make fun of me for it. But in a lot of ways that hostel had more freedoms too.. *shrug*

Anyway! A good! I get to have cooking lesson!! I know literally nothing about cooking and now i get to know several thing!! This nice doctor called Josie taught me how to make an omelette and i tasted ham for the first time! That is just how limited my life experiences are, lol. Oh and they want me to say that she's a 'mental health worker' not a doctor, but its all real confusing?? Like they have the staff that look after you and then the only ones we're supposed to call doctors are the ones who actually have the authority to prescribe pills and diagnosies. But like if youre in a hospital you'd call them all doctors, not just the actual surgeon? Or i guess theyre kinda like nursing home staff?? But they cant be support workers cos support workers are specific government assigned inspector type guys like Richard who only meet with you once a week.and i have to remember to not call him a social worker either cos social workers only work with family and custody related stuff. I dunno?? Basically the medical industry has a lot of names that dont really describe what the actual thing is, lol. Anyway the ham omelette was great and now im gonna try and remember so i can try and make it myself next time! HAM ACCOMPLISHED

Also i played bingo with a few other patients and it was fun but funny that i lost 6 times in a row when there were only 3 of us. I got a consolation prize of a pack of neon highlighter pens so hell yeah!!

I'm getting booked in to try some additional classes starting next week on monday and tuesday morning. The computer programming one was sadly unavailable, but i managed tp snag a place in "confidence building group therapy" and "basic how to use power tools". I wasnt really all that interested in that one but i thought it would be a useful skill even if its less fun. And maybe you get to actyally make something to take home at the end? A lil shelf to help organize this awkward lil room better, maybe?

And an unexpected bonus of being semi-hospitalized is that i get a free bus pass! And cos im here cos of my social anxiety theyre gonna help me get outside more and actually use this thing to the fullest! The first thing we did was the trip to actually get the bus pass itself. It was like "bus, take my money to take me to the place where i can never give you money again!" XD Ive been really stupidly nervous about going on tne bus in my old neighbourhood cos MAN it was really isolated there and everything just amplified my mental illness. An almost two hour bus ride to get to ANY SHOPS AT ALL, with only one bus for the whole town so it was always crowded and full of screaming kids and gossipy everyones. Social anxiety: maximum level proud mode!

So yeah i feel BIG ACCONPLISHED! I was able to take this bus for the first time with a doctor coming with me. Power Grandpa The Strong. His actual name is Paul and he has awesome sleeve tattoos of like anchors and dragons and sports teams and stuff! And he likes thrift stores and wearing silly hats too! Its like he's powerful enough to wrestle away everyone's anxieties! I was able to be a bit reckless too and i went out wearing my fave shirt thats like trans pride coloured plaid. A POWERFUL SHIRT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS QUEST! so we went to the office to register this bus pass and i panicked a bit cos apparantky we brought the wrong form and i wrote my name in the wrong box and then my passport photo looked terrible and aaa! But it all worked out and i was kinda freaking out for nothing. And he took me for a lil tour of the place and showed me this cool shop that does spray paint tye dye t shirts with spiderman on them?? Why does this incredibly specific shop exist and how have i never heard of it before?? There was also a new harry potter shop next to the disney shop, and the old used book store i used to visit as a kid was still there, complete with rickety spiral staircase and ominous basement trap door. I'm still not brave enough to go down there, but apparantly its just the history books section so meh. Then we actually went to a fancy coffee shop and i had this brain freeze mango ice frappucchino thing! Im trying all the new foods!!

And i was TOO HIGH ON DECADENCE and made a RECKLESS CHOICE! i blame power gramp's amazing tattoos, they were totally whispering to me that i shoukd screw the rules and ride off into the sunset on a metaphorical harley davidsen of mental health

So i was like Hey Paul I Am Totally Fine Getting Home On My Own, and it was like i was floating off in the distance somewhere begging my body to not speaketh these words. But it ended up working out okay! The excitement of it all and the sense of accomplishmebt from getting there all okay allowed me to mostly not freak out as i spent the day in town and looked at some shops and stuff. Basic Living Skills: Completed! I chilled out in the library (tho i dont have a card yet, alas!) and visited like five comic and anime stores, and got lost but found a Pizza Hut and that was SO NOSTALGIC FOR MY CHILDHOOD and it didnt taste quite as good as i remembered but the waiter guy was super nice and had a similar shirt and it was All Good! Oh and i gave all my money to a homeless person and that's why i'm broke now. And i bought a plastic slug! I just saw it from across the room and was like OH NO I AM BEING MAGNETISED TOWARDS IT OH NO IT HAS ALREADY BEEN BOUGHT. I need to think of a name for this new friend!!

So yeh i got home okay and i felt really acconplished and that was the furthest trip away that i've taken in ages! Man my mental illness makes me feel pathetic, but it also brings ridiculously big joys from the smallest of silly acconplishys!

Oh and thank you so much to the people who sent me emails! It really helped so much to keep me from giving up during the first few days before i made a bit of progress and felt like i could really do this, yknow? Especially big thanks tp the friend who sent me that mysterious super happy song that they found on a mystery disc in a german market?? Im still not sure whether its in greek or hasidic jewish but it sounds AMAZING and i hope someday i can figure out the band so i can hear their other singles!

Ok this is bunni out! BIG HUGS FOR THE EVERYONE AAAA

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

September 17, 2018

Gahd I love it :<<

Okay, first of all, I have just watched Molly’s Game, like, five-six days ago, and I was instantly hooked with Player X, that is, Michael Cera. So, it is very me to search for the characters of the movies I just watched, and it is also very me to just download random movies (I pick from this huge list from the net). So when I searched for Cera and skimmed through his movies, I instantly mentally noted Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (NNIP). The poster is very romance-y and I wasn’t really into romance movies, but I recently watched 500 Days of Summer and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and gahd I just loved those sooo much, and so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try one again (and it’s Cera!). So tonight, I was scrolling through my films and saw NNIP and I knew it’s gonna be a good night (spoiler: it was!).

I loved it. Soooo much. Okay. Some lines I found note-worthy:

“I don’t wanna go. I’m taking a mental health day.” Okay, first line that I thought was really woah. I mean, basically because I wish I could say that as easily as he did (hayz). I also wish I have spare days to take as my ‘Mental Health Day’ too, y’know. I wish we all have that. Kinda like one of those permissible absences we are given in colleges, or leaves in offices. A mental health day off kind of thing.

It could have some repercussions to me tho. I mean, being always reminded to keep our mental health in check kinda had negative reactions to me before. I somehow focused ‘too much’ on my mental health, and ended up overreacting to every little setback I found in my way. I was oversensitive and I just stumbled and stumbled and found it harder to move on because of how easily I was overwhelmed with things.

I mean, I’m not against Mental Health campaigns, sooo not against it. I feel everyone who needs it, everyone who needs help, should be able to get some. It’s just, it kinda didn’t work too well with me, I don’t know. I guess I just didn’t really have the proper guidance when it comes to dealing with my mental health. Bottomline is, yeah, I wish we have that mental health day hehe.

“It’s not that easy, guys. You don’t know what it’s like to be straight. It’s awful.” XDDD I wonder who has it worse, really.

Then we get the Fluffy announcement: “…the rarest show on Earth is rumored to go on after hours so keep an eye out for those little rabbits. You never know where they might lead you.” And you just know Where’s Fluffy’s a metaphor to ‘Where’s Love’, and their journey finding Where’s Fluffy would be Nick and Norah’s journey to love.

“You’re practically blowing him with your eyes.” “You cannot do anybody with your eyes, Caroline…well, you can.” I laughed at this!

I also love how Caroline is like the greatest force moving their story! Also the gum wth HAHA I don’t know what to make of it. It’s disgusting and funny how it was passed onto, like between lovers slash bffs, how the girls took extra care of it, like Caroline picked it up from the toilet, and how Norah slapped Nick’s hands first when he tried to touch it soooo I guess it’s like love? I don’t know HAHA. It was just spat into some random guy in the end tho XD

“Nicky is definitely worth the underwire. He just needs a little push, that’s all.” Aren’t we all?

“…a hundred percent, yknow, gay. Gay every day, all the time.” XDDD I do wonder, are people a hundred percent anything, tho? Everyday, all the time? I mean, aren’t we too changeable to be something all the time?

“I don’t really subscribe to any label.” Man, Nick sure does know things to say. I actually want this tattooed on my forehead right now. Or maybe wear a headband with this sign sticking on top, like taped on the cat ears. Or a hoodie, yep, that’s easier.

“Cherish one another, folks.” <3 Can we all take a moment to stamp this onto our brains.

“…she’s gone. So I think now is the time we cut our losses and go find Fluffy.” I like this scene.

I loved the search party part. I mean, all throughout you could really see and feel their friendship, but the search party part is so fun. I always wished to have those kind of cool nights with friends (I mean, give me car and we definitely will hayz).

“No, just because there was a last bus doesn’t mean she was on the last bus.” This line struck me, yo. Actually I like contemplating on ‘just because there was … doesn’t mean it was …’ logic.

I really find moments when main characters went with ‘hi’ ‘hey’ convo the special ones. And the little things stick with me.

‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand’ idea is pretty cool. (I really don’t know what to type here, it’s one of those ideas you just contemplate on)

“Since when does a queen need an excuse to sing?” Uhh, since when does anyone need an excuse to sing? I also love this Christmas show scene. And the phone booth scene, that’s so sweet!

“…you just feel ignored for long enough and it’s just nice to feel special sometimes.” A very dangerous phrase.

‘my musical soulmate’, I’d like to find mine.

“The way you’re moving in your sleep, the way you look before you leap, the strange illusions that you keep, you don’t know, but I’m noticing.” <3

“the world’s been broken into pieces and it’s everybody’s job to find them and put them back together again.” ‘Maybe we are the pieces’ idea is great!

“Are you sad we missed it?” “We didn’t miss it. This is it.” They found Fluffy <3

---

I have to say, Cera’s smile melts mah heart.

Also, Andy Samberg was in the movie!! I didn’t recognized him in the movie tho, I just saw his name in the credits (yes, we all should finish the credits), and went back and was blown away. I’ve just been obsessed with Brooklyn Nine-Nine, like just this month, share.

Edit: So yeah, I read this blog about why NNIP sucks, and I thought I was a bit too biased writing my thoughts about it. But then I realized, these are my thoughts, of course I could be biased as much as I want to. I write depending on how I felt. And I felt overflowing love watching NNIP. So, some of the character’s may be two-dimensional, and other’s might be too picky about that, but I am not. I focused on the ideas it sparked in me. And there are a lot HAHA. I kinda listed too much lines, but yahh.

So let's talk about Sherlock...

I just watched The Final Problem today and I am very torn on my opinion on it. while watching i didn’t notice almost any of the major issues with it, probably because I was too emotional to pay attention. I came on tumblr right after finishing and to be honest I was overwhelmed by the amount of hate TFP got, although now it’s been a few hours though and the more I think about it, the more problems arise. I would just like to talk about the plot holes I noticed in this and also the things I liked and disliked.

for the record, I didn’t hate the episode and I didn’t think it was horrible, I just think that Moftiss were overthinking and absolutely overlooked some key points and needless to say, almost everyone noticed.

first off

- how the fuck did John get out of the well? he was literally chained to the bottom and they just threw a rope at him, what the actual friggity fuck?!?

- TLD ended with Eurus shooting John, not just shooting at him, John literally said in the beginning of TFP that he got shot. Eurus said she would put a hole in John’s face an I really doubt she’d miss if she really wanted to shoot him. John doesn’t seem to be hurt at all though, guess he must be jesus h. fucking christ in the flesh or something;

- speaking of mysterious healing, tHEY JUMPED OUT OF A FIRST FLOOR WINDOW WITH A BOMB EXPLODING BEHIND THEM AND DIDN’T GET A SINGLE SCRATCH ON THEMSELVES. firstly, they broke the windows with their bodies so they must have gotten damaged from the glass. secondly, they jumped out of a window. remember in scandal in Belgravia when Sherlock threw that guy out of a window and how bad he got hurt from that? thirdly, a bomb exploded behind them. that would have increased their speed and also hurt them. yet, in the next scene they are completely fine and don’t even come and tell me it was a while later because when they talk on the phone they say Mycroft is in the hospital unconcious, which would suggest that the explosion had just happened.

- jumping back to TLD now, what exactly was the purpose of Eurus dressing up as Faith, the girl on the bus and Johns therapist? I kinda understand Eurus helping Sherlock by giving him the letter and leading him to Culverton, but why the other two? I understand that she’s a literal psycho but what benefit did that give her? none. just fucking confusing everyone.

- Mycroft is one of the smartest men alive and yet he lets Moriarty and Eurus meet without anyone checking on them whAT THE FUCK

- how’d the “miss me?” video get all over London in HLV? who the fuck distributed it? Eurus? she can hack now?

- Mycroft: *locks Eurus in Sherrinford* Eurus: *escapes* Mycroft: “hey yknow what’s a good idea? let’s take Eurus back to Sherrinford bc that sounds like a great plan lol!”

- why’d they never look in the well when looking for Victor/Redbeard? tf smh

- how and why tf did Eurus build a fake cell? what was the fucking point?

- one moment Sherlock and Eurus are talking to eachother through a tv screen and literally three human seconds later Eurus is sitting on the floor in her room and basically looks like she’s absolutely traumatised, with no camera or anything. were the videos prerecorded? if thats the case then wtf happened to Eurus while Sherlock was out? this bit and the next one still piss me off the most

- I understand building tension and putting Sherlock under pressure but the whole plane story was literally pointless. did Eurus pretend to be the child? i understand the metaphore of it but everything about Eurus is contradicting itself at this point and her character is just messy tbh

- suprisingly convenient doors in cells that lead to other cells what a coincidence :o

- how did Mycroft Holmes, again, one of the smartest men alive, not see this coming? is he a moron? he knew exactly what his sister was capable of and he was just like tralala Eurus can literally hypnotise ppl and make them do what she wants but shes locked up in a prison so that means no worries for me (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡

- where did the fake tombstones come from? did 8 year old Eurus bring them there or something? tf

- the absolute fuckery that happened when Sherlock first went into the room Eurus was in. how did he not see there was no glass? last i checked glass reflects, shouldn’t you be able to see that?

- there are fucking security cameras, did Mycroft literally never check what happened while he wasn’t there and while Eurus was just having a walk around London with Sherlock and having chips, and not only Mycroft, did nOONE CHECK AT ALL? SHERRINFORD IS A PRISOM FOR THE MOST DANGREROUS WHAT THE SHIT

- HOW DID JOHN GET OUT OF THE WELL I’M STILL CONFUSED

This episode wasn’t all bad though (hard to believe looking at literally everything I just wrote) but i did love a lot of things about it.

- WE GOT TO SEE SHERLOCK’S AND MYCROFT’S CHILDHOOD AND WHY THEY ENDED UP THE WAY THEY DID THIS IS ALL I EVER WANTED

- despite everything I still love the way they use the camera when filming Sherlock they’re all so smart about that

- Mycroft mouthing along to that movie

- Mycroft’s magic umbrella

- “hey bro!”

- THE HAT

- Mycroft having to sit in the chair

- MRS HUDSON LISTENING TO NUMBER OF THE BEAST

- Sherlock calling John family

- Sherlock calliNG JOHN FAMILY

- SHERLOCK CALLING JOHN FAMILY

- SHERLOCK CALLED JOHN FAMILY I CAN NOT DEAL

- EVERYBODY IS HAPPY IN THE END (except probs Molly)

and now let’s get to everything I didn’t like, excluding the plot holes i described before

- how everyone treats John, like he’s always the dumb one in every situation, Mycroft thinks that, Eurus thinks that, Mary thought that, all the fans only know Sherlock and not him jUST PLS PPL APPRECIATE HIM MORE HE’S GOT IS SO HARD AND HE DESERVES BETTER

- Molly deserved better, she was just thrown around like trash like I get it you don’t wanna make Sherlolly canon (me neither dw) but stop toying with her like she’s nothing please she’s a great person and deserves more

- how John literally couldn’t physically and mentally push himself to watch the “miss me?” video at first but then when he got the “miss you” video he was like “oi Sherlock fam got some mail wanna have a movie night?”

- Moriarty is still dead, how disappointing

- there wasn’t enough Lestrade or Hudson, pls give the real heroes of the show some screentime they have to put up with Sherlock’s and John’s shit

- not enough deduction

- somehow even though Eurus is overpowered in every way Sherlock can still beat her so easily

- not enough Rosie

- we get it her name means East Wind now stop mentioning it every 2 minutes

- every character that is even a little bit LGBT is a bad character (Irene Adler, Moriarty bc let’s face it he’s gay as shit, Eurus etc)

that’s about all I got for now, I’m planning to rewatch the episode tomorrow so maybe I can evaluate it with a clearer head and get a less biased opinion on it. Moftiss could have done so much better when making this, TLD was an absolute masterpiece in so many aspects and TFP was a piece of literal garbage next to it. really hope they redeem themselves in the next season (if there is one) and explain a few things they didn’t this time. I really hope people stop hating on Moftiss for the decisions they made with this episode and instead give them actual legit points where they went wrong. too much negativity in the fandom right now. hope you all have a good day!
