The tonal shifts of ‘Wynonna Earp’ never fail to whip lash me with it’s back and forth drama and comedy.
Especially in the 4th season where they just drop f-bombs like it’s nobody’s business even in scenes where it’s not even necessary and not expected.
For example: You have this scene in the final episode of the show, ‘Old Souls’, where Waverly and Nicole are Mulder and Scully-ing with investigating Waverly’s haunted wedding dress. Finishing off each other’s sentences, seamlessly bouncing off each other… and you can see exactly why they’re getting married.
Then suddenly Nicole drops an f-bomb out of nowhere. I was like “Well, that didn’t happen in The X Files. That I can recall...” 😂 The scene goes like this:
WAVERLY: “My purgatory historical kills file actually has a buttload of weddings that ended in bloodshed. When your town has forty times the murder rate of a normal borough, you don't always connect the dots.”
NICOLE: “Here's another one. 1968. The bride axed her groom to death on the foot of the chapel right after she'd-“
WAVERLY: “-Just axed her family to death? Then killed herself?”
NICOLE: “Slit her throat.”
WAVERLY: “With the axe?!”
NICOLE: “Wanna see her beautiful wedding dress?”
WAVERLY: “Ooh, wait, don't tell me. Vintage lace, inlaid sapphires in a heart?”
NICOLE: “Bingo.”
WAVERLY: “So, we know the dress is haunted, so it's gotta be the dressmaker, right?”
NICOLE: “There's an old wedding announcement. Check this out.
*sits next to Nicole to look at the laptop*
‘The bride will be wearing a creation from Cursey's Bridal Boutique, designed by Ms. Brigitte Hogback.’”
WAVERLY: “That's definitely the weirdo who sold me the dress. Also!
*runs back to the investigation board*
First wedding massacre, 1922. Ah! A Miss H, left at the altar, killed her guests.”
NICOLE: “Well, that is a terrible way to be dunked on.”
WAVERLY: “Awful enough to want to destroy every future wedding in town?”
NICOLE: “Baby, if you left me at the altar, I would fսck shit up. I might kill Nedley.”
WAVERLY: “Nicole!”
NICOLE: “I'm kidding. I think.”
WAVERLY:
*gets all flirty, walks back to Nicole smiling*
“What else would you do to keep me around?”
For a moment it was like watching the The X Files but I’m fairly certain there were no f-bombs in that show. I mean from what I’ve seen of it I hadn’t heard any. But ‘Wynonna Earp’ just drops f-bombs every other scene.
It just completely took me out. In a very funny way. But yes, Waverly and Nicole were very Mulder and Scully in that little scene. It was adorable to watch how they were just in the same mental space one moment and the next things suddenly got spicy between them. I’m the same. Mental stimulation gets me going. If someone can stimulate me mentally, they suddenly have all the power to stimulate me sexually. Intelligence is sexy. Especially when it’s two females.

I started a new file and made enough progress to feel confident in fighting the Lynel of N. Akkala Valley, and I won by the slimmest margin. Immediately after that, I rode down to Skull Lake to look for Kilton and climb up to the Shrine of the right eye, stopping along the way to get a picture of the sleeping Black Hinox on top of Tempest Gulch (for my compendium). As luck would have it, a thunderstorm blew in; lightning struck the Hinox, waking it up, and it decided to come after me. I thought at first to fight it, but I had depleted all my good foodstuffs battling with the Blue Lynel, and being low on hearts, I decided to run. Even in the rain, I managed to climb up to a place the Hinox couldn't reach, but I made the mistake of turning around to look at it.
Over the last five years, I've spent around a thousand hours playing BotW, and I never knew the Black Hinoxes carried bomb barrels.
That MF blew me sky high.
This is a series of unfortunate events
RIP
