hullo! so, we've gotten your favorites from AJR and Glass Animals but.. what about your favorites from each of the holy trinity emo bands?
so right off the bat i’ll start with panic, as they did end up being the band of the trinity that i was least invested in but even then i still definitely have favorites for sure
starting with my absolute favorite from them, though, tables is an absolute banger. the cockiness of the lyrics, the harmonies between brendon and ryan, the harsh trumpets, there’s a good reason these tables are numbered honey you just haven’t thought of it yet is a classic for panic. it’s high energy and it‘s pure panic at the disco. beyond that, afycso is a great album, like i’m not gonna be the first or last person to praise the smooth transition from it’s better if you do into i write sins, because holy shit what a transition. but right after that? i constantly thank god for estaban? another great song, the acoustics of the verses in contrast with the sharp drums of the chorus? the breakdown 3/4 of the way through the song? absolutely amazing
outside of afycso though, nine in the afternoon is such an obvious choice for a favorite but with good reason, that green gentleman is sheer vibes, and for as much as i’m ready to critique brendon in general, his vocals through the entirety of vices and virtues (especially ballad of mona lisa, hurricane, and nearly witches) are remarkable. moving onto too weird to live to rare to die, though, holy shit, dallon’s influence. miss jackson? a banger. vegas lights? a banger. nicotine? absolute fucking banger. and honestly the entirely of the death of a bachelor album is just Good, even if not similar to their previous albums, it’s still great tracks cross the board imo
mcr is somehow the band i’ve listened to the longest and also the band i’ve gotten the least invested in, but the way they use each era as a way to tell a clear story through their albums is so amazing. genuinely picking any favorites from them is difficult and i’d like to just pick the entirety of the black parade album tbh
pre black parade-wise, you know what they do to guys like us in prison definitely sits way up there for me, amazing lyrics, great personality to it, just a fucking banger all the way through
black parade though? all of them. but specifically this is how i disappear (the RIFFS, the desperation and depravity in the “you wanna see how far down, i can sink? let me go, FUCK” ?? holy SHIT?). and the entirety of sharpest lives when it comes to the lyricism too, like i could talk for a full day about this band’s lyricism and i’d still have more to say when i’m done, and this song is such a great example of that. mama being written as a result of a bet, the guitar solo of teenagers being reminiscent of classic rock guitar styles to fit the song’s character, the “you’re just a sad song, with nothing to say, about a lifelong, wait for a hospital stay” of disenchanted, this is genuinely my favorite album of all time, and that’s not even mentioning sleep, an amazing fucking track
post black parade? na na na is an absolute classic, planetary go fucks, party poison slaps, and destroya BANGS. to this day, ray toro is the ONLY guitarists i can recognize solely based off of his guitar playing, which is something that deserves so much appreciation and respect in my books
fall out boy, though, was definitely the band i mained out of this trinity. and pretty much everything i have to say boils down to “folie a deux was a masterpiece”
sending post cards from a plane crash and grand theft autumn are absolute classics. 7 minutes in heaven and sophomore slump were like. absolute mid breakdown go to songs and honestly they still hold up holy shit? and the take over, the breaks over’s long ass held note from 2:12?? patrick king spare some kings for the rest of us? hello? and god save rock and roll was genuinely such a great comeback album for them, especially with where did the party go and just one yesterday.
and then abap?? even the title track still goes hard, i still remember when it dropped on youtube while i was on a trip with my family, i listened to that shit on repeat for DAYS. and don’t let me get started on the kids aren’t alright, favorite record, and twin skeletons oh my GOD. after abap? stay frosty royal milk tea and young and menace go fucking hard
so now for the last part of this post, back to folie a deux. i love this album so much. the way disloyal order sets the atmosphere which i don’t care just takes over for itself, the almost hypnotic melodies of america’s suitehearts, the medley of what a catch, 27 going so hard, the transition from $20 to west coast smoker?? this album is genuinely so amazing. and that’s not even touching on headfirst slide into cooperstown on a bad bet, my absolute favorite fall out boy song. the repeated “i didn’t”s, the blend of the “does your husband know” and the “i will never end up like him towards the end? it’s such a beautiful song i will never get over it
short answer: there’s a reason these tables are numbered, sleep, and headfirst slide into cooperstown

Wine Drunk while watching Godzilla vs Kong
Some major spoilers up ahead!
Mans really just annoyed the shit out of his coworker until he left so he could hack shit, huh?...I love it! 🤣🤣
——————————————
You mean to tell me that the explanation for why Godzilla attacked the one tech company site by the dude who studied Kaiju communication and behavior for a living is just, “sometimes people (and creatures) change”???? Like some dumbass justifying a toxic person/relationship??? Like excuse me???? Why are the literal teenagers making more sense than you?????
Also, we’re all in agreement that this facility is either housing Ghidora’s dead head, Mecha Godzilla, or Mecha Ghidora, right?!?
——————————————
Lol! “Apex Cybernetics!” That’s not foreshadowing! 🤣
——————————————
Apparently, I didn’t get my fill of white nonsense from Falcon and Winter Soldier, bc someone decided to put this blonde-hair-blue-eyed little bitch in charge! That’s not ganna go wrong somehow. 🙃😑👀
Like this bitch literally wanted to send a fucking child into unexplored hollow earth territory without a second thought! 🙃🙃🙃🙃 I was literally like 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 for that entire convo.
——————————————
I’m sorry! This conspiracy man just met these teenagers, and his first impulse was, “yeah, theses seem like some good people to break into a tech conglomerate with!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
——————————————
Why are these people surprised Kong knows sign language? These are people who study Kaiju (and presumably other animals in order to draw conclusions about certain behaviors) for a fucking living!!! We have primate species that recognize and communicate in sign language already! Why is this surprising???!?! Like...has NO ONE except this precious child tried this????
Also, nothing bad better happen to this child.
——————————————
That ship literally fucked around, and Godzilla let it find out! Lmao!
——————————————
Kong: Hey, Godzilla...look at me...
Godzilla: >:[
Kong: ...bitch.
——————————————
Precious girl: Thank you, friend 🧏🏽‍♀️
Kong: ☺️😴
THIS GIRL IS TOO PRECIOUS!!!!
——————————————
Bitch-ass White Man: How’s Kong with heights?
BITCH, you really ganna try that?!?! You really think you ganna find any aircraft(s) that are ganna be able to support all that weight?? Never mind any other problems with Kong trying to nope the fuck out of that situation and all kind of other hosts of problems!
And if you do somehow have one (or multiple) WHY TF DIDN’T YOU USE THAT BEFORE KNOWING FULL AND WELL YOU RAN THE RISK OF GODZILLA MERCING KONG’S ASS IF YOU TRAVELED VIA SHIP!?!?!?!
——————————————
Down the Hell Naw tunnel we go!
——————————————
“I think it’s romantic,”
I fucking love Millie Bobbie Brown’s character!! 🤣❤️🤣
——————————————
WHY IS THIS TEENAGER SMARTER THAN EVERYBODY OMG!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
——————————————
“This is page one in the ‘Playing God’ handbook, right?”
I’ve decided I love this character! 🤣
——————————————
WHY YOU GETTING INSIDE THAT THING—Oh god! 😨 Why y’all got eggs!?!? This is like if Weyland-Yutani succeeded in getting Xenomorphs! 😬
——————————————
Oop! Locked in! THIS IS WHY YOU DON’T HIDE OUT IN MYSTERIOUS ROOMS!!!!
——————————————
Oh shit! Apex Cybernetics think they on that Wakanda shit now!
Also, why was that one Apex Cybernetics bitch bitching about how one of those HEAV crafts could power Vagas for a week if y’all clearly have a whole network or transportation using this tech!
And I never understood how tech companies kept that shit to world domination shit! Build a public transportation system with that shit! Boss man said he likes ideas that make him rich! Pretty sure that would do the trick!
——————————————
WINE BREAK!!!
Saving the rest of the last bottle for coking Gumbo, so gotta open up a new bottle
——————————————
Aw, Kong is so sick of this bullshit! 😂😭
——————————————
“It’s not working”
Bruh! Give it more that two seconds!
——————————————
HOW DARE Y’ALL USE KONG’S LOSS AGAINST HIM!!!! HOW DARE Y’ALL!!!
——————————————
HEAV go Brrrrrrr Shoooooooooooom!!!!
——————————————
LMAO!!! Monarch has their own brand of bottled water!?!?! Idk why that amuses me so much!
——————————————
This hallow earth portal thing is some Pacific Rim bullshit right here, lol!
——————————————
NYOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM
——————————————
Are we...are we really Ice Age: Dawn of Dinosaur-ing this shit rn??? 😂😂😂
——————————————
“It’s beautiful,”
Of course it’s beautiful! No hoomins have touched it! Lol
——————————————
Y’ALL GOT FUCKIN DRAGONS IN THIS BITCH!?!?!?!!! 8D YO!!! SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!!!
——————————————
*marvels at the creature creation ideas*
——————————————
Kong’s first thought: *nom the dragon guts*
——————————————
THE ROCK HAND OMG IM GANNA CRY!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 It’s the same gesture the Precious Girl did OMG!!!!
——————————————
“We going in?”
“Yeah”

——————————————
“Humanity, once again, will be the apex species,”
THERE it is!
——————————————
Why Mecha-Godzilla so skeeny?!? He need ta be thicc if he ganna take down REAL Godzilla!
——————————————
*Ryan Bergera conspiracy voice* Is this the real reason Kong was contained!? So this douche could snatch up Skull Crawlers without Kong intervention???
——————————————
OH SHIT!!! I think this thing is emitting alpha waves (or whatever we’re calling it) and THAT’s what set Godzilla off!!! He fought Ghidorah, heard this shit and went, “Nu-uh, bitch! NOT AGAIN!!!”
——————————————
Monarch dude: Yo, Godzilla’s headed to Hong Kong for some reason?
FUCKIN CALLED IT!!!
——————————————
This look like the door to fuckin General Grievous’s lair,da fuq?!? 🤣🤣🤣
 ——————————————
I got waaay too emotional over that handprint, y’all! 😭😭😭
——————————————
Y’all, the fucking art history major in me is fuckin screaming at this temple scene! The fact that some of these Kaiju not only had the urge and drive and capacity to build a fucking temple around this power source or some shit and create weapons like the axe that Kong just fucking Excalibured the shit out of that one skull crawler’s skull fucking implies the fact that there is intelligent civilization amongst these fucking Kaiju and all that shit! I want to know more about this shit! Take that you fucking racist-ass white historian motherfuckers!
(Note: I definitely needed to use talk to text for much of this bit, because there was no way I was going to be able to contain all my excitement in just typing, alone, lmao)
——————————————
BRUH!!! Why y’all exiting g the HEAV without no breathing apparatus or lead suits or nothing!?!?! In previous movies, y’all implied that these Kaiju lived in environments in which their environments were hella radioactive compared to our own!!!
——————————————
Kong is s the true heir to the iron throne, Lmao!
——————————————
FUCKING CALLED IT!!!! THEY HAD GHIDORA’S REMAINS IN THERE SOMEWHERE!!!!
——————————————
OH FUCK!!!! Y’ALL AINT JUST SENDING OUT ALPHA VIBES WITH YOUR MECHA-GODZILLA!!!! YOU SOMEHOW USING GHIDORA’S HIVE MIND OR TELEPATHY SHIT TO DO IT!?!?!?! AAAWWWWW SHEEEEEET!!! Y’ALL ARE BONED NOW!!!! FUCKIN BONEROWNED!!!!
——————————————
Godzilla! My bruh! My dude! You didn’t HAVE TO get up right where that bridge was!!! 😂😂 Ya douche bag!!!
——————————————
At the same time, tho, I can just hear him going, “Ah! FUCK! NOT AGAIN!!! Sunova bitch!! Motherfuckin!! STOP BUILDING sHIT SO DAMN HIGH!!! Goddammit!”
——————————————
You know, with all the Bright twinkly lights in Hong Kong, I can’t help but think of the sequel to the original Gojira movie ( that I can’t remember the title of ,rn) where he was fucking triggered by fucking lights. And I wonder if this little scene where he’s stomping all through Hong Kong is a tribute to that or whatever. But I’m probably overthinking it.
[Sober Edit: it was Godzilla Raids Again]
——————————————
*GASP* HOLY SIHIIIT!!! The axe is made out of Godzilla skute!?!?! GOLY BALLS THAT’S NOT ONLY COOL BUT CONTRIBUTES MORE TO THE FACT THAT THESE KAIJU (likely Kong’s species, in particular) WERE REALLY FUCKING INTELLIGENT AMD TJOUGHT, “Imma beat this muthafucka with their own spiky thing! Bc that’s what screws us over, so, why WOULD’nt it hurt them!?!” I need SO MUCH MORE of this Kaiju/Kong culture studied and shit! HOLY FUCK!!!
It even fucking glows!! Like ... they managed to fucking piece together that its glow was a fucking warning sign like Sting or some shit!!!! Holy fuck!!!!
Also, how does that work? How are the skutes still connected even after dismemberment???
 ——————————————
NO FUCKIN WAY WRE YOU—AAAAAAAAHHH!!! Excalibur that shit my boi!!!!

Excuse me bitch! Are we really not gonna listen to the scientist who saying “hey we don’t understand the shit out of this fucking power! Maybe we should hold off on taking some fucking samples!”
Are we really just gonna ignore that shit???????
 ——————————————
Kong said: TRY ME BITCH!!!!

Secondly, where tf are YOUR grpupies, asshole! No need to judge! Ya cunt!
——————————————
“There can only be one alpha,”
Really! You really gotta bring your toxic masculinity into a fuckin monster fight, my dude!?!
——————————————
Kong said, “Yeet! YEET SELF!!!”
——————————————
I am living for the feral fight scenes!!!!
——————————————
Kong’s expression , tho! 🤣🤣🤣
Like, “Can you ducking NOT, Godzilla?!? Can you, like, fucking chill??!!? Aight, fine! ASDASHKLSDJKLDZJL ADKLKDZDJ!!!!!!”
——————————————
Awwwww! Godzilla let Kong go, bc he knows what it’s like to be the last of his species! 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭
——————————————
“This is how we [...] win!”
Oh, honey, you ‘bout to die! Lmao! 😂

Review/Reaction of IT Chapter Two
Let’s just start right off the bat and let me just say that Bill Hader better get a fucking award for his performance.
Alright. Here we go y’all. im trying to stay in order with what happened but so much happened in the movie that my brain is just all over the place so excuse me while i try to form words
UNDER THE CUT CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS
• first opening scene is a fucking LOT okay like i sobbed my eyes out and it was just not cool. adrian and his boyfriend? CUTE AF. Him getting brutally beat up and then killed by Pennywise while Don just watches? NOT CUTE AF
• Mike is a precious boy and I love him so. He cares about his friends so much holy shit. they all get mad at him for lying to them tho.But he only did it to protect them. Mike knew some SHIT(tm) our boy is so smart?? I’m glad they kept to his original storyline
• Older Bill gave himself so much shit this film and i just felt so bad. like we know it isnt ur fault okay?? We know you loved your brother, stop putting yourself down. also?? him becoming protective over dean? please stop my aching heart. 
• Jessica Chastain owns my whole heart and she can kick my ass anyday. She plays Bev so well and captures young bev’s personality so well. her scene with mrs kersh was very weird. i knew the second she ran naked in the hall i’d be seeing some weird fucking shit okay 
• Jay Ryan could kick me and I would personally thank him like?? wow what a man. He immediately recognizes bev when he first sees her and im just?? im happy. so many hidden new kids on the block reference and it had me fucking rolling in my grave
• JAMES FUCKING RANSONE MY DUDE OH LORD okay listen. he gives off young eddie’s panic and chaotic energy so perfectly i felt like i was watching him as an adult, who just never grew up. I think thats what he was going for honestly. He played eddie SO FUCKING WELL 
• I’m so sad about stan. THats all you need to know okay. I’ll talk about his letter later on in this. Stan deserved better. that’s all. 
• if you are not a fan of vomit you’re not gonna enjoy richie tozier. literally any time something bad happens hes just like ah shit here we go again *vomits* and honestly? that made me laugh. like hes just like oh shit something is happening let.. let me just.. no no its fine guys ill catch up.. EHBWFIJHDFSIJ no okay but bill hader stole the fucking show. his acting was phenomenal and,, again,, i’ll add more onto that later. 
• richie scares the shit out of dean. because he thinks hes pennywise. but can you blame him? the kid just. stared at him all creepy and shit. but its so funny. the losers make fun of him bc he doesnt know his own lines from his acts and richies just like “I dont write my own material” and eddies just like “I KNEW IT! I FUCKING KNEW IT” dead. goodbye.
• Young losers were still my favorite part honestly. Eddie kept bouncing that stupid ball in stan’s face in the clubhouse and i was waiting for him to get punched in the face tbh. That didn’t even seem like eddie, that was Jack’s energy bursting through the seams lmfao
• young eddie runs into a fucking box and shrieks and if that isn’t me idk ewhdfiajksjdoi 
• THE FUCKING. HAMMOCK. SCENE. okay listen to me. thats gay. hammocks are now gay. gays only. gay interacts only. the bickering between reddie had me in TEARS. eddie kept kicking at his face and just?? casually??? lays on him when richie wont move?? 
• stan’s fucking shower cap ehfdiujasdiosa and then richie being like “nobodys afraid of spiders stanley okay” and eddie slowly removes his because he cares what richie thinks more than spiders ok
• a flashback from after they defeated IT in the first move with reddie “eddie youve been gone for 24 hours your face is most likely on a milk carton by now” “shut up richie” 
• yong Richie has me weak af this whole movie, like always. just getting on Eddie’s case. HE PINES SO HARD OH Y GOD Like wow my sweet boy is so fucking in love ouch. which?? BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT??
• THE ARCADE SCENE?? he checks out the kid standing next to him and tries to get him to hang out more and then the other kid tells him to stop being weird because he’s not gay, too, and then uses the F slur. richie was just so hurt. paul bunyun scene happens after that and hes just like “I just shit my pants” and i cried. 
• pennywise screaming “lets play truth or dare, you wouldnt pick truth! you dont want them to know your secret” gave off the same energy as eddie’s leper blowjob scene from the book. same energy. do with that as you will. 
• they had some flashbacks that included pennywise and im not sure if this was before or after they had defeated IT in the first movie but i interpreted it as after and if thats the case... hes supposed to be dead. but now thinking back on it, it was probably just more scenes before they put pennywise to rest for 27 years. 
• young richie went to the kissing bridge after that and we ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE. fucking.. r + e :((( although we don’t see him carving the E. but reddie is canon so suck toes antis
• stephen king pretty much being like “I know u and ur endings really do suck” to bill when he comes to buy his bike was so fucking funny. it almost felt like a self insert lmfao. ALSO HIM MAKING BILL PAY 300 BUCKS FOR THE BIKE BC HE KNEW HE COULD AFFORD IT? iconic. 
• richie and eddie opening the door to the dog had me laughing. pennywise was just mocking them at that point. they’d be such good dog dads and now im sad
• i was really confused because they added part of stan’s bar mitzvah?? like it wasn’t even the same from the first movie. like they should’ve just put the deleted scene in from ch. 1 and then added that part. thats one of my very few complaints. im slowly hiding them in here. 
• henry bowers was kinda irrelevant in this honestly but thank you eddie for stabbing him and richie for killing him for trying to kill mike yall heroes 
• BEVS BLOOD SCENE ?? CORRESPONDING WITH BENS BURIED ALIVE SCENE? poetic cinema. 10/10
• the big fight really disappointed me in all honesty. but i think thats because andy said he cut so much from there. i expect it to be better with the director’s cut
• eddie saving richie and then immediately being stabbed by pennywise’s claw? IM DEPRESSED.
• “Rich! rich, i did it! i think i killed him!” Our boy was so happy with himself :( 
• eddie’s last words WERE NOT “i fucked your mom”. he was talking to richie and you can hear them talking while the rest are preparing to end pennywise. so im hoping we get that as a deleted scene. 
• richie goes back to help finish pennywise but when he goes to check on eddie.. he’s dead. ://// and bev is like “richie, come on, honey.. im sorry” and richie does not want to believe him. he grabs and hugs eddie so tight i swear i could feel that hug from the audience. 
• another thing im disappointed in and am sliding in is some of the animations? Like. fucking weird. but okay. luckily i didn’t care too much.  
• THE SOB that richie lets out when he holds eddie really hurt my fucking soul jesus christ just kill me
• the losers try cheering him up after and like. thats their friend too but you can just totally tell he’s crying in a different type of grief. THAT WAS HIS FIRST FUCKING LOVE. 
• they all remember after and thats really important to me okay
• stan writes letters and its spoken outloud while the other losers get little montages of what theyre doing with their life after the battle. Richie goes back to the kissing bridge and recarves- YES RECARVES AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE E BEFORE HE DOES- he recarves the E and while doing it, stan’s voice says “be proud of who you are” and im fucking cry ibg okay
• in the end, i give this movie a 7/10 rating. although some of the animations were weird and some of the flashbacks had pennywise in it (like hes supposed to be currently dead but ok... maybe nightmares??) the actors were PHENOMENAL and the chemistry between older richie and older eddie made me so happy. my ship is canon. but im still sad about stan and eddies death. 
• ignoring canon in 3.. 2.. 1.. now

Some freewood headcanons to distract me while I wait until I can go back to my room
- Ryan can’t talk, and he doesn’t mind bc being the Vagabond, it really only adds to the intimidation factor. But then he meets the fakes, specifically Gavin. And like he gets so annoyed at himself for being unable to talk and having to text/write things down because none of the others know how to sign and he just wishes he could have his voice back! But as soon as he starts thinking maybe this crew isn’t for him, maybe he’s just not meant to work with others, Gavin surprises him
-Gavin started learning sign language the minute they realised that the Vagabond couldn’t talk, not that he just didn’t want to/didn’t trust them. The others eventually learn too, but Gavin makes it his mission to learn this goddamn language so Ryan doesn’t have to struggle so much when talking to them
-He waits until he knows enough to have a conversation with him, deciding that it would be better to surprise Ryan once he actually knows enough to be useful. It’s the best fucking surprise he’s ever gotten. It’s like his birthday, Christmas and every other goddamn holiday combined. Gavin did this for him, cared enough to learn a whole other language just to make things easier for him.
-sometimes when shits gone bad and Ryan is angry and flustered, he’ll move his hands too fast for Gavin to keep up with, forgetting for a moment that the rest of the guys aren’t as fluent in sign as he is, they can’t understand if he speaks too fast for them. Usually someone will either have to calm him down or he’ll storm off to his room to try and cool off himself. When he does, Gavin usually follows to make sure he’s alright.
-just before they get together, they get into a sort of routine of hanging out. Ryan likes to read, likes to curl up in a nice, comfy armchair and lose himself in another world and Gavin likes to sit by him and idly play with his hair. Sometimes he’ll just brush it, but sometimes he’ll braid it and run ribbons through it, make it look all nice and pretty. He may or may not have a few pictures (for his eyes only!! Or Ryan will kill him) saved away in a locked file on his computer. They both don’t realise they’ve been doing this until well into their relationship, because they didn’t think it counted as hanging out when you just sit near each other and don’t talk.
-Ryan still likes using his silence for intimidation purposes, but it’s nice sometimes to have Gavin (or any of the crew really) there to help translate when he wants his target to know what’s about to happen to them (it’s basically torture in it’s own right to tell someone you’re about to rip out their fingernails one by one unless they give you the location of their weapon stash)
-On the note of his intimidating reputation, for the first week or so Gavin completely avoids Ryan, wants nothing to do with him because that’s the bloody Vagabond and he knows all the stories, has seen all the police reports and the very bloody trail that’s been left behind. He’s not been quiet about what he’s doing, and maybe Gavin helps bury the police reports and delete some news articles once he realises he’s not actually a scary asshole who could slit him in his sleep whenever he wanted (he’s a total dork who likes theatre for some reason?? Likes old books and even plays the piano for fucks sake, total dork).
-Gavin can actually like. Sing when he tries. He doesn’t do it often, only sometimes whenever Ryan plays something on the piano (which in itself is a rare occasion) because he’s a bit self conscious about his voice, doesn’t think he’s as good as he actually is and really, really doesn’t like how all attention goes on him when he’s singing. The only time he’s comfortable with that sort of attention is when he thinks he’s earned it (aka when he’s playing the golden boy on jobs). When Ryan first hears him sing, it’s like falling in love with him all over again, holy fuck.
Yeah that’s all I got for now but feel free to send me some of your own!!

What’s Joe Watching - May 2020
Tumblr media
So, I have a bunch of free time, everyone has a bunch of free time, and this is some of the stuff I've been watching so far in 2020. This is mostly TV shows, I’m leaving out a few movies I watched only partially. I'm including some things that I bounced off and quit watching, but I fully reserve the right to go back to them a little later.
Justified - Pilot I intended to just watch the opening Tommy Buck scene, but I fucked up and saw the whole episode since everyone is so darn compelling. And every interaction with Dewey Crowe and Raylan is a treasure. It's amusing to see the Florida Crowe Clan brought up in the show's first 10 minutes or so. This episode is completely fantastic, but it also kinda made me realize how the whole first season is a pilot. Despite him looming over a few scenes, Raylan's father never even shows up. I don't think I'm going to do a full watch through the entire series, but this was extremely fun.
6 Underground - A Michael Bay Film I loved the action, and usage of Dave Franco (cough). As usual, the movie thinks it's way more clever than it actually is. I mostly enjoyed it, definitely has action a cut above the average Transformers movie. The characters don't live up to the likes of Pain & Gain or The Rock, though. Ryan Reynolds felt like way too much of a Deadpool-Mary Sue fantasy of a badass in 2020.
Tremors 1 and Tremors 2 Definitely started the sequel without knowing that Bacon was nowhere to be seen. That was okay though. These movies are fun, and at least early on, they manage to make each one different enough to hide the fact that they're losing recognizable faces with each movie.
The Rookie - Season 2 I'm going to tiptoe around and not spoil it out of abundance of caution, but the reveal was pretty thoroughly lame, expected, yet also seemed hurried and out of left field? It was all done pretty well, and the episodes were usually good, but I'm slightly dreading Season 3. Every character other than Nolan ended up in a pretty okay or even promising place, though, so they could just write their way out of it.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle This sequel has some great moments, but mostly suffers from the normal "too much more" problem that affects nearly all sequels.
Super Troopers 2 Still mostly funny! Even when retreading jokes from the old one. Full disclosure, I fell asleep before the big climax/finale, but It went off fine and everyone lived happily ever after anyways.
911 Lone Star - Season 1 This show was ridiculous for all the right reasons, and seemed to have the right mix of the Glee creative forces to make something goofy and fun. Really hopeful to see it picked up for a bigger and better second season.
Lincoln Rhyme The Hunt For The Bone Collector Did I like this show just because of the long, funny title? Probably. But it was still pretty fun. Parts of it felt like a movie length story stretched into a short season of TV, but the cases of the week helped with that, I guess. Despite the twist ending, I think this is going to end up a one and done show.
Mission Impossible 1 & 2 The first is such a great De Palma classic. I used to think of the second as "bad, but at least it's John Woo", but watching it this time it just felt bad period. I'm probably going to watch the rest soon, since the rest are extremely enjoyable.
Superstore - Season 5 Holy shit, this show was really funny, and the union storyline has been surprisingly good. I'm a little upset that real life circumstances are kind of boxing the show into a corner, between the season not being able to finish filming as well as it being America Ferrera's last on the show. However, I'm pretty confident the show will keep on being entertaining in some way. The Office survived Michael Scott's departure, obviously. That's an idea, Robert California buying Cloud 9 in season 6. Is The Blacklist still going?
This next group of things I started watching for some period of time, but walked away. I don't want to say they all completely fucking suck, though! I definitely might go back to them, but they're at least on a big pause.
The Great - Season 1 This just dropped on Hulu. It's really promising! It has Elle Fanning as the titular (Catherine) The Great, and Nicholas Hoult as her husband Peter. It's got a really weird vibe to it. One reviewer said it was more sketch comedy than historical epic. Peter came off as David Brent, but actually slaughtering people. It just hit a little too dark and uncomfortable type humor. I usually love that, and love the Office! But this just felt pushed a little far over the line for me to stay with. More uncomfortable than funny. But it's a really amazingly well made and clever idea for a show.
Tacoma FD - Season 1 - TruTV Looked like Super Troopers plus Reno 911 at first glance. But it just didn't really click. Actually, sitting here, I'm struggling to remember much about it.
Battlefield Earth (Rifftrax) Not sure why I'm including this on here, I've seen this (and the riff trax with it) a bunch of times. The movie was just too painful this time. Maybe I'm getting weaker in my old age to stand John Travolta's voice in this movie.
Mortal Kombat: Scorpion's Revenge This is an animated Mortal Kombat movie that I vaguely knew was R+ rated for violence. It was uncomfortably like what a 13 year old would consider cool gory violence. Like just cutting dozens of ninjas lengthwise and huge cartoon intestines sputtering everywhere. It was well animated and the action was fairly cool, but it was just gross to look at. I lasted long enough to briefly appreciate Joel McHale as Johnny Cage, though.
Brews Brothers - Season 1 - Netflix I don't have anything overwhelmingly bad to say about this one. The humor just didn't super click for me, and I bailed out fast. It's made by the gentlemen behind The League. I liked the title/pun/idea about two different brothers running a brewery together. It just kinda suffered from a bad cold opening of the first episode real bad.
Happy Endings - Season 1 Okay stop yelling at me for not liking this show. I gave it a shot based on the cast and rave reviews and loads of folks with good TV opinions trying to get it saved. The way the series starts just struck me way more sad than funny? I guess that's the point, and I'm not letting them get to the titular happy ending. But eh.
Okay, that's a lot of words, next up will be a bunch of shows I'm currently watching/enjoying/excited to finish! Or it will probably be so long that they will convert into completed shows!!! Who knows?

Heart Strings And Melodies (Modern Musician!Poe AU) Part 18
Tumblr media
(Not my Gif)
Summary: Poe and reader attend David and Ryan’s wedding. At the end of the day, will Poe and reader have some good news of their own? 
(A/N- Haha, this part turned out longer than expected. In vaguely good news, I have written the last paragraph for this series. Now I just have to figure out what else to write to get from here to that final paragraph. In slightly less good news, the next couple updates may be slow while I figure out what I want to write since my brain isn’t quite cooperating.)
Pairing: Poe Dameron x Reader
“Have you got the present?” You called over your shoulder as you finished putting in your earrings. You heard Poe make a sound of uncertainty.
“Where is it again?” Poe called.
“It’s in the cupboard under the TV.” You replied. A moment passed before Poe shouted that he’d got it.
“Looking pretty damn good.” Poe’s voice came from the door, glancing over, he was stood leaning against the door frame, his gaze going up and down your body, taking in every inch of you.
“Thank you, you look very handsome,” You gave Poe a once over, biting your lip realising how good he looked in a suit. “Think you can zip me up?” You requested, turning slightly so Poe could see the last couple inches of open zip.
“Of course.” Poe smiled at you. He stepped behind you while you gave yourself a final once over in the mirror just to double check everything was how you wanted it. Poe’s hands rested on your waist after he’d finished zipping up your dress.
“I swear this dress wasn’t this tight when I last tried it on.” You sighed, running your hands down the sides of your dress.
“Babe your dress looks perfect… you look perfect,” Poe pressed a quick kiss to your cheek. “I’ll be waiting by the door.”
Alone in the room, you shook your head to rid yourself of a dwindling thought.
“No… can’t be.” You whispered. You turned, your hand slipping from resting over your stomach to pick your clutch bag from your bed.
“Ready to go?” You called as you wandered over to Poe.
“Got the speech?” Poe questioned as he opened the door, ready to step out.
“Shit!” You rushed back to the bedroom to grab the piece of paper on your bedside table. “Now I have.” You shrugged off your moment of panic. Poe merely chuckled.
“Lets get going.” Poe stated, taking your hand in his and beginning the journey towards the boathouse where Ryan and David were holding their wedding.
“Oh wow. They said this place was gonna be nice but… damn.” You exclaimed, your gaze flittering across the veranda at the front of the boathouse. Flowers and ribbons decorated the dark wood balustrade and railings. Poe looked out onto the lake, small white rowing boats were moored to the wooden pier, each boat decorated with bunches of lavender and cream silk. Against the setting of the lake, the summer sun shimmering off the water, several dozens seats were placed near the lake’s edge, each covered in white, a large bow tied at the back with lavender tucked into the knot.
“They must’ve splashed out for all this.” Poe thought out-loud.
“Pretty sure they did.” You commented. Poe pointed out a table to one side of the veranda, several gifts were piled across it. The two of you strolled across and placed your gift amongst the others.
“Okay, I know David and Ryan… but I have no idea who anyone else is.” Poe whispered into your ear, watching as people wandered around the venue. Since you had a short time before the ceremony began, you hooked your arm in Poe’s and slowly introduced him to the people closest to David and Ryan. David’s mother was happy to see you, you had only met her a couple times but she gushed about how David kept her in the loop with how you were doing. David’s father on the other hand was a no show. It wasn’t unexpected, the man had never quite understood David since his coming out, and while David sometimes wished his father was around for family gatherings, he’d come to accept that he was better off without someone who didn’t support him. Ryan’s parents were mingling with the other party guests so were more difficult to pin down for an introduction. However, when the chance arose, conversation came quite easily between them and Poe. It drifted from talk of Ryan’s sister graduating university to how Ryan could hardly sleep the night before due to wedding nerves, from what his parent’s described Ryan had been a bit of a groom-zilla from the morning he woke.
“I know Ryan has been focused on everything being a certain way.” You commented.
“Seems like he’s got a very specific idea of how he wanted this wedding to be.” Poe added.
“Of course, he’s had the idea of being married at a boathouse since he was a teenager. To be honest, he started saving ideas for wedding decorations not too long after he and David started getting serious.”
“You should’ve been there in the early days Poe,” You started to reminisce. “They say that you and I were bad when we started dating, but holy crap, David and Ryan were even worse. It was cute in a kinda sickly sweet way.” You elaborated.
“Ryan tells us the two of you are engaged.” Ryan’s father stated.
“Yeah, it happened when we were on holiday. Not planned or anything unlike Ryan’s proposal, but yeah, we’re going to get married once we make a start on planning it.” You explained.
“If everyone could begin finding their seat, the ceremony will begin shortly.” A woman announced, cutting short your conversation. 
“I suppose that’s our cue.” Ryan’s mother commented.
“And mine. I’ll come find you later after the ceremony.” You pressed a kiss to Poe’s cheek before following Ryan’s parents.
“Where have you been!” David fussed the moment you stepped into the room where he was getting ready, his hands going over his suit, smoothing down imaginary wrinkles.
“You really want to pull a Ryan right now?” You cocked a brow.
“A… what?” David spun to look at you.
“Apparently he’s being a bit of a groom-zilla.” You explained. David’s head dropped, a sigh coming from his lips.
“Sorry, it’s just… it’s almost time and I’m nervous that I’m going to fuck up my vows. I’ve been looking forward to this day for months and it’s happening right now.” David seemed to be borderline panicking.
“Hey, hey look at me,” You walked across the room to wrap your arms around David. “Take a breath. Everything is going to go perfect. Trust me. Come on, sit down for a minute. Try to calm down.” You spoke calmly. David did as you said, taking a seat by the window. You sat beside him, taking his hands in yours.
“Ellen and I are going to walk you down that aisle, and you’re going to watch the love of your life walk down that same isle in a pretty sweet ass suit, you’re going to say your vows, and be officially married. And lets face it, tonight you’re looking at the best sex of your life.” You squeezed David’s hands reassuringly, smiling at him when he laughed. A knock came at the door before David’s mother entered.
“Are you ready?” She asked.
“Almost, just one last thing,” David took a deep breath, stood and took a few sprigs of lavender from a nearby table. Carefully he slipped a couple into your hair and the remaining ones into his mother’s. “Perfect.”
You and Ellen left the room first, then waited for David to join you. He took a another deep breath when he reached your side.
“This is it.”
He held out his arms, inviting both you and Ellen to take each arm. Ever so slowly, you made your way outside towards the waiting guests. A slow piece of music filled the air as you and Ellen guided David down the aisle. Once you’d reached the end of the aisle, David turned to both you and Ellen, you watched as David leaned down to let his mother press a kiss to his cheek, when he looked over to you, you leaned in and pressed a kiss to his other cheek.
“Just breathe.” You whispered as you pulled back. You felt David squeeze your hand before he took his place in nervous wait of his husband-to-be. You gave him a final smile before taking your seat beside Poe. Your gaze flicked over to David, his light blue suit almost shimmered in places under the bright sunlight. His fingers came up to smooth his hair, and you could see him mouthing something repetitively. The music began to pick up and you turned to watch the procession down the aisle. First came Ryan’s sister, Elizabeth, their one and only bridesmaid. Her dress, a pale blue scattered with images of blue and purple flowers, almost floated around her. A few moments after she took her place to the side of the ceremony, Ryan began his walk down the aisle. Unlike David’s blue suit, Ryan’s was a pale grey with a slight silvery tint to it, it too picked up the sunlight and shimmered. Whereas David had decided to go with a matching tie to his suit, Ryan wore a bowtie that was an unbelievable match to the blue of David’s suit. Of course that had been all your doing. Just as you and Ellen had done with David, Ryan’s mother and father, Janice and Matthew, were on either side of Ryan, guiding him towards his soon to be husband. You glanced back at David to see him smiling, holding back tears as he watched his lover approach. David took Ryan’s hands in his the moment he was able, his eyes holding adoration. As the music begin the quieten, the ceremony began.
“To my brother and David. I wish you many happy years together and hope that all the fun and all the silly shenanigans continue for as long as you are together.” Elizabeth finished her speech, a round of applause went around the room. Once a few moments had passed, you made your way up to the small podium to make your own speech to the crowd and the newlyweds.
“My two closest friends,” You gestured to the newlyweds, your gaze falling on them to see them sat, hands entwined together atop the table, listening intently. “There isn’t much more I can say that hasn’t already been said, but I’ll try. When I first met you, the two of you were friends, and had been for a long, long time. And you took little old me and brought me into the friendship you shared, but it felt more than that, it felt more like being brought into a family. And now that you’re married, you’ve officially got the rings to show the world that you’re truly a family together. It was funny when they first started dating, I’d be on the phone with David teasing him about how he was gushing and fawning over Ryan, and then the next moment Ryan would be calling to do the exact same thing. I felt like I was going around in circles listening to each of them talk about the other. But I loved it, watching as the two of them fell deeper in love. That look in their eyes when they first started dating has never faded and today it shines even brighter. I’m looking forward to seeing what their next steps are, united by marriage and stronger than before. I love you both, and wish you the happiest days to come.” Your gaze fell back to David and Ryan as you closed your speech. There was a warmth in your chest as you took in their soft, loving expressions as they smiled at you. A brief moment passed between finishing your speech, throwing a smile to the newly wedded couple and then making your way to the nearest bathroom while trying not to look as if you were in a hurry to get out of there. Poe tried to catch your attention as you rushed passed. Noticing how pale your complexion had become, Poe stood and quickly followed you. After entering the bathroom you rushed over to the toilet, just in time for your stomach to give a final churn and the contents of it to empty into the toilet. You vaguely heard the bathroom door swing open before hands were in your hair, holding it away from your face. Poe spoke your name, worry evident in his voice.
“Are you okay?”
You simply glowered at him before emptying more of your stomach into the toilet.
“You’re holding back my hair, while I’m throwing up… what do you think.” You argued back.
“Maybe it’s just an upset stomach? Nerves, something like that?” Poe offered.
“I think it’s more than just an upset stomach Poe.” You grumbled.
“What do you mean?” He asked, crouching down beside you.
“I’m late.”
“You’re… late…” Poe’s brow furrowed, not understanding your meaning.
“Jesus are you really that dense,” You sighed frustrated. “I haven’t had my period in weeks…” Your words drifted off.
“Wait. Hold on. Are you saying what I think you’re saying,” Poe waited a moment but you stayed silent. “Are you… pregnant?”
“I don’t know for sure. I’ve been feeling off for weeks now. When you were on tour, David noticed I wasn’t quite myself and he said it was just me missing you and honestly, I think even then I kinda knew what was really going on but it was just easier to believe I was lovesick.”
“Look who’s being dense now.” Poe teased.
“Birth control can go stick it.” You grumbled.
“C’mon, let’s get you cleaned up.” Poe soothed, his hand rubbing your back softly.
“One minute,” You stated before your stomach heaved again. “Just… not yet.”
“So… we’re gonna be parents.” Poe murmured as he sat on the floor beside you.
“I mean… is that okay? I figured you wanted kids… but this is early right… too early? Maybe we should’ve waited.” You started rambling. Poe quieted you with a kiss to your temple.
“It’s a bit too late for waiting now,” Poe chuckled. “We’re in a good place. There’s no reason for us to not have a baby.”
“What if… I’m not sure if I want a baby.” You whispered, a tear running down your cheek.
“Hey, hey, hey,” Poe fussed, wiping away your tear. “Darling, sitting in a bathroom isn’t exactly the best place to talk about this.”
You nodded in agreement, sniffling as you did. “How about we talk about this after we get home? Do you think you can somehow put this out of your mind until then?”
“I can try.” You spoke dejectedly. Poe helped you to your feet, your stomach finally settling down.
“Look, we don’t even know for certain yet,” Poe started then paused when you threw him a look that said ‘are you kidding me’, “ Seriously, we can’t be a hundred percent sure. So, we’ll grab a test on the way home.” Poe smiled sweetly.
“Sounds good.” You sniffled. Poe handed you a small silver flask from inside his blazer pocket.
“Here, wash your mouth out with this, since we don’t have mouthwash.”
“Poe Dameron, since when did you put that in your blazer?” You asked with a small smile.
“Before we left,” He spoke with a mischievous smile. “Come on, everyone will be wondering where you’ve gone.”
As you poured a bit of whatever spirit Poe had stored in the flask and swirled it around your mouth before spitting it out, Poe took the moment to air his thoughts.
“I know I said we’d talk at home but… just one thing I wanna say,” He paused for a moment before continuing. “I’d love to be a dad someday, and I’ve been hoping for a while we’d someday have a kid of our own. But, and this is super important sweetheart, this is your decision,” His hand slipped to your stomach. “If you’re not ready, or for whatever reason you don’t want this, the choice is all yours. As long as you are happy with whatever decision you make whenever you make it, that’s all that matters. I need you to know that. Do you hear me?” Poe cupped your face in his hands. You nodded, unable to air your words in fear you’d end up sobbing instead. Your arms slipped around the back of Poe’s neck and you hugged him, your head resting on his shoulder.
“Okay,” You cleared your throat before continuing. “Let’s get back out there.” You offered Poe a loving smile.
The wedding reception continued as if nothing even happened. Although you did get a few raised brows in concern from the newlyweds. Thankfully you and Poe managed to brush off their concern with a simple lie. Nothing more was said on the matter. Despite your mind being preoccupied, and sensing that this was the case with Poe as well, dancing became a welcome distraction after the newlyweds first dance came to an end. Not that it was just you and Poe dancing together, no, you managed to share a dance with David while Ryan danced with Poe. You danced easily with David as you had done plenty of times before, Poe on the other hand started a little awkward with Ryan, but before long the two of them were having a laugh on the dance floor.
“See wasn’t so bad after all huh?” You questioned David after he’d spun you and brought you back towards him.
“I can’t believe we’re married now. It’s all official,” David enthused. “I didn’t even fuck up my vows.” 
“I knew you wouldn’t.”
“Poe looks like a good dancer.” David commented as his gaze fell to his husband and then your own husband-to-be. The two of you broke apart, heading to the nearest seats to take a break, both of you slightly out of breath.
“Oh he is.” You affirmed. A moment passed before Ryan dropped down on the chair beside you.
“How were you not out of breath from dancing with that man of yours!” Ryan exclaimed, struggling for breath.
“Poe and I dance together all the time. It’s called having stamina Ryan,” You teased. “I hope you haven’t got a taste for him because a, you’re married now and b, he’s mine.” You continued to tease.
“Oh sweetheart. While I love your man to bits, he definitely isn’t my type. Which is why I married this one.” Ryan leaned over to rustle David’s hair. As another energetic song started to play, you watched as a small group of young children, some distant relations of David’s, made their way to the dance floor, bopping to the music and dancing with each other in circles. Their laughter reached your ears and you couldn’t help but take in their bright smiles as they ran around the dance floor, playing with one another as they went. Your hand drifted to your stomach, resting there for a few moments until Poe’s voice suddenly appeared beside you, your hand dropping away.
“We best be going.” Poe noted, looking down at his watch.
“Shit,” You cursed as you glanced at your own watch. “Our train is in half an hour.”
“Oh, damn. Yeah, you probably should go,” David started before standing, Ryan doing the same. “You’ve had to deal with my dramatic ass this morning so I release you from your bonds. Go get yourselves home.”
“Thank you,” You leaned in to press a kiss on each of their cheeks. “I love you both. Enjoy the rest of your day and I’ll see you next week.”
Poe wished the happy couple goodbye and took your hand, the two of you leaving the celebration as hurriedly as you could without looking as if you were making a mad dash for the exit.
It was a long silent wait for the pregnancy test result, despite the fact it only took a couple minutes, time seemed to drag on forever. On your way back from the wedding you picked a test up at the first shop you saw, stashing it in your bag until you made your way back to the apartment where you promptly ripped it open then dashed to the bathroom. As you waited, Poe held you close to his chest as you both waited with bated breath. The stick sat on top of several pieces of toilet paper on your coffee table, while you and Poe sat on the sofa.
“How long now?” Poe asked. You held the somewhat tattered box in your hands and tried to piece together what it said by trying to match together the rip you had made across the instructions.
“About a minute.”
You counted down in your head how long was left before you would find out whether you were truly pregnant or not.
“The sticks done a thing.” Poe whispered gently to you. His voice almost soothing. Leaning forward you took the stick in your hand, glancing down at the result. You passed the stick to Poe who took it gingerly at first but then just simply stared down at it.
“So… what does it say?” Poe questioned. Slowly, you looked over the box. searching for the instructions regarding the results. Glancing between the stick and the box, it took you a minute to make sense of what it was telling you. You bit your lip, placing the box down on the table. You heard your name spoke quietly beside you, Poe’s voice bordering on concern.
“I’m. Pregnant.” You whispered. You hadn’t realised tears had slipped down your cheeks until Poe took your face in his hands, his thumbs reaching up to brush them away.
“Darling it’s going to be okay. Don’t worry alright, everything is going to be fine.” Poe fussed. You leaned back out of his hold then reached up to touch the dampness on your skin. “I’m not crying.” You spoke slowly.
“Pretty sure that’s crying.” Poe pointed out.
“No. I mean… I don’t think they’re sad tears.”
“You mean… you’re happy?” Poe tried to hold back the hopefulness from his voice.
“I’m not entirely sure how I feel.” You admitted. Poe nodded, understanding.
“I get it.” He wrapped an arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer. He rested his cheek on the top of your head.
“Are we even ready to be parents? I know you said you want to be one, but are you really ready to be looking after a baby in nine months time? I’m not even sure I’m ready to look after a baby.” You worried.
“Babe, you’ve been looking after me for almost a year now. Pretty sure you could handle a baby.” Poe teased. You gave him a quick elbow in his side, a small laugh being drawn from your lips.
“Poe I’m serious.”
“Look from my perspective. I think we’re ready. We’ve both got good jobs now and quite a bit of money saved up. You and I are in a really good place together and that’s not gonna change anytime soon. So it’s not like we’d be having a baby for the wrong reasons,” Poe paused for a moment before continuing. “I know I’m ready to step up and be a dad,” You could hear the raw emotion in Poe’s voice, see how his eyes became glassy with the beginnings of tears. “And I hope that you feel the same… but if not, that’s okay and we can… we can…” Poe made a gesture with his hand, unable to come up with the words he needed, “Not be parents…”
You thought hard for several long minutes.
“You’re right… we’ve got the money to support having a baby. And it’s not like we’re having a baby to keep our relationship together… we’d be having a baby because we want to. I want to be a mum, Poe. That I know for sure. I just…” Your voice started to crack a little, everything just becoming a little too much.
“Hey… it’s okay. Shhh. You don’t need to make a decision now. Just… sleep on it and we’ll talk about any worries you have in the morning.”
“Look at you being the person to say to sleep on it. You’re the one who goes ahead with something half-cocked.” You chuckled.
“Well yeah. But pretty sure a baby is something you don’t go half-cocked on. So… give it until the morning, or whenever you’re ready to make a decision.” Poe pressed a kiss to your temple after he’d finished speaking. He then stood from the sofa, offered his hand to you, which you gladly took then helped you from the sofa.
“It’s been one hell of a long day.” Poe murmured as he guided you towards the bedroom, his hand on your back rubbing soothing circles into your skin. 
While you stood in the bathroom, brushing your teeth while clothed in your Pjs, your hand drifted for another time that day to your stomach. Your thoughts wandered freely across the idea of having a baby. Of whether you were ready. And whether that ready meant now. You paused for a moment before finishing your nightly routine. Soon after, you found yourself in bed beside Poe. The sheets wrapped around you and his arm resting across your body as the other carded through your hair. He gazed at you lovingly, humming slightly.
“The wedding was something special wasn’t it?” Poe wondered aloud.
“David and Ryan looked so damn happy, they’ve wanted this for so long. Plus it was a nice day for it too.” You agreed reminiscing on the day’s events.
“To see two people finally tie the knot and like you said, seeing how happy they were… makes me think of what ours will be like.” Poe continued.
“Something not quite as grand as theirs I hope.”
“Something Simple.” Both you and Poe spoke in unison. A chuckle escaped both your lips.
“Something simple yeah,” Poe breathed. “Not masses of people, just a few family and friends. Nothing too grand or glitzy, nothing like that. Something that’s just… us.”
“Sounds perfect to me.” You murmured happily. Leaning in, you shared a long, gentle kiss with Poe before reaching for the bedside light. He whispered a goodnight before settling down on his side of the bed. You whispered a goodnight in return. After a while of laying in the darkness with your thoughts rattling about in the silence, you reached out searching for Poe’s hand and eventually found it. You felt as Poe gave your hand a squeeze, an action which you returned.
“Poe?” You spoke softly, just below a whisper. You heard him hum in acknowledgement.
“I want to keep the baby.” You whispered. You heard a sudden intake of breath from Poe.
“Are you sure?” He shifted from his position to look at where he could see your figure in the dark.
“Yes.”
You felt warm lips press against your forehead as fingers tangled in your hair. You felt the quirk of a smile against your skin before Poe pulled away.
“I’m going to ask again in the morning, just so you’re one hundred percent on it.” Poe added.
“I’m sure Poe.”
“Still gonna ask tomorrow.” Poe reaffirmed. There was a moment of silence between the two of you as you once again settled down beneath the bedsheets.
“I love you.” You whispered with all the love you could muster.
“And I love you too.”

tw : missing persons, death, murder, kidnapping, hydra ment, nazism ment
ryan : this week on buzzfeed unsolved, we’re covering the disappearance of skylar mccoy, a case for a girl that still continues to this day!
shane : this ... this is a big one.
ryan : yeah, this one really freaks me out, honestly. it’s ... it’s ―
shane : not fun.
ryan : that’s one way to say it. i’m ― not, uh, stoked about it. i remember, y’know, hearing about it, when she first went missing.
shane : yeah ... it was, like, a breakfast conversation thing.
ryan : a six year old disappearing is a breakfast conversation thing to you???
shane : like, in my house! my mom used it as a reason for me to, like, always answer my phone and come in at curfew and stuff. ‘ be careful cos even famous little rich girls can go missing, shane ! ‘
ryan : that’s what your mom sounds like?
shane : well, yeah. it’s ― she’s a mom. mom voice.
ryan : so, some background. skylar mccoy was one of half a twin pair born to doctor henry mccoy, born in his lab, actually. he made them through an... extremely intricate experiment that we’re going to glance over.
shane : what a fucking genius, that dude!
ryan : he’s ― yeah, absolutely. i was looking him up while doing this, the man has, like, six phds!
shane : holy shit! six! he’s giving stark a run for his money! six phds, oh my god. i can’t even, like, make a ... uh, what’re those dna things called from high school ?? put-it squares ??
ryan : punnett squares i think.
shane  : yeah, that!
ryan : but, yeah, born to a total genius. she was a famous kid, one of many, i guess. for her name at first, but growing up it was slowly becoming obvious that the little girl was a total genius. read at a fourth grade level, writing electron configurations, monitoring mutations, the like! and became pretty famous for just being a cool little kid.
shane : isn’t there, like, some famous photo of her and big daddy hank in his lab or something ???
ryan : big... big daddy hank... anyway! in the afternoon on july 30th, 1996, skylar mccoy went missing from her home in upstate new york. hank mccoy called police after finding out she wasn’t in their home. when they used scent to track her, they came upon a field, but the trail abruptly ended. it is assumed that it is there that skylar, who was six at the time, was last before disappearing.
shane : whoa, whoa, hold up! a field? since ... what!
ryan : it’s, y’know, not commonly known, but it’s worth noting. she was a ... an icarian kid, y’know. like, she was prone to wonder. they thought, at first, she just walked off.
shane : an icarian kid! have  ― there’s still footage of her growling at someone! she was, like, four! she was a little firecracker!
ryan : she was a genius!
shane : still a little shit! i mean, god rest her soul and all
ryan : she’s not dead
shane : isn’t it presumed dead after, like, seven years ??? it’s been eleven. and she was just a kid ― if i got lost at six years old, i’d be eaten by the coyotes!
ryan : * sigh * we’ll... we’ll get into that later. back to what i was saying ... the hours before her disappearance are well documented. there were many people in the house ; workers, fellow researchers, and family members. skylar ate breakfast at eight am and was in her room playing with her twin until around ten am.
shane : oh, god, the twin, i forgot about the twin. fuck, this is so messed up. god, is that kid, like, alright? like, are they, like, fine? this is ― ryan, can we not do this? this is, god.
ryan : she’s fine. alive and well. shane, everyone was requesting this.
shane : but ... this is so fucked up. what if she, like, comes back and sees this???
ryan : you just said she’s probably dead!
shane : i’m sorry, skylar
ryan : you test my patience. but, yeah. at around ten, skylar asked her father, dr henry mccoy, to go play outside in their yard, something she often did. he allowed her but said to be back by lunch. he noted her outfit, which was just converse and a sundress.
shane : what kind of six year old wears converse???
ryan : rich ones, probably
shane : good point ... good point.
ryan : she went to the yard. the last person that’s thought to have seen her is her twin, margot, who went with her but came in shortly after to play inside. they discovered she was missing when she didn’t come in for lunch. after skylar’s disappearance, margot admitted to knowing that skylar often left the estate and went to the field that the search team was led to, further evidence that she was taken from that location.
shane : a field??? that’s ― what kinda kid is just going to a field??
ryan : well, remember, she’s beast’s kid, got the whole giddup with it.
shane : the fangs! i remember the fangs!
ryan : yeah, so, like, the general thought was that she just liked nature or whatever, ‘cause she was so animalistic.
shane : the smartest little wolf ― ape?? what are they anyway??
ryan : i think apes. or something. but, let’s get into the theories, of which we have three for today. the first one is the current theory is one of the most popular, and of course, an obvious. it’s that skylar wandered into the woods and subsequently died.
shane : i mean, like, that’s fair, and all, isn’t it ?? she ... yeah.
ryan : doesn’t mean it tastes good.
shane : tastes good??
ryan : like, going down.
shane : ohhh. yeah.
ryan : well, the field was pretty near to the woods. the reasoning behind her going to the woods was the same reason that she was in the field, that it was a natural place that she wanted to be. the theory is that she wandered into the woods, lost her way, and subsequently died. it was summer and hot, and even if she did eat, which is possible considering her... animal qualities,
shane : you’re saying she ate... bunny ??? coyote ??? what ???
ryan : it’s not. crazy or anything. she’s a little, y’know, ape-wolf. it’d be ... instinct or whatever.
shane : instinct or not, that’s gross.
ryan : but, yeah, back to it. there wasn’t any water that was a viable source. but, let me disprove this theory.
shane : oh, here we go
ryan : to start, her scent ended in the field, and didn’t continue into the woods, which if she had just naturally walked to it, it would have. following her disappearances, people went on organized walks and searches everywhere in the area, and nothing was found. not a single sign that skylar had ever been there.
shane : so... it’s bullshit, then?
ryan : basically. this is what led to the case gaining even more attention, because it narrowed it down until only one viable and reasonable possibility could be made, that skylar mccoy did not wander off, she was taken.
shane : yikes!
ryan : yikes is an understatement. that being said, let’s get into the second theory, which is that skylar was kidnapped. she was alone and, though reports vary about her actual strength, only six years old, and reasonably defenseless. there are many a person who could have done this, however. hank mccoy is an active member of the x-men, and the enemies of the x-men are so numerous they’re practically unlistable.
shane : that’s what happens when you save lives!
ryan : and destroy stuff all the time.
shane : do you have beef with the x-men, ryan?
ryan : no, i’m just saying !! and, y’know, team magneto, and stuff.
shane : magneto was right!
ryan : but, yeah, there’s so many people that could’ve taken skylar. enemies of the x-men, anti-mutant supremacists, some people even thought it might be, like, hydra,
shane : hydra!! like, heil hydra ??? like, the nazis ???
ryan : it’s not that far off! they’re mission is, y’know, chaos, and chaos it was when everyone found out about skylar. and with that, they’re reach is so far we don’t even know where it’s at. they infiltrated shield! shield!
shane : but, like, nazis, man.
ryan : well, skylar’s asian ― korean, i think.
shane : god, fuck hydra. fuck.
ryan : that’s an understatement. but, this brings me to my third and final theory,
shane : this ― this is going to be like, aliens, isn’t it? ?? with how you present theories ??
ryan : aliens are real, shane!!!!!! we’ve been over this!!!!!! it’s not a far-off theory!!!
shane : god, i’m just saying. don’t shoot the messenger. so you’re telling me it’s not aliens??? this theory ISN’T aliens??
ryan : well...
shane :  goddamit
ryan : third theory is that skylar mccoy was abducted. there wasn’t any trace of her left, and her scent just ended in the spot, which is notably weird. there were even ufo reports that night in nyc, so. and she was entirely alone, as well. a field is, really, a staple of aliens, even though it was a field of flowers and not of corn.
shane : doesn’t make this not dumb
ryan : and, of course, skylar hasn’t been seen since. there’s been a bunch of reports all over, but nothing confirmed or nothing that has led anywhere.
shane : wasn’t there that, like, viral picture of that dirty girl in japan, or whatever???
ryan : yeah, but not confirmed. and japan is... pretty far and all
shane : but it did look like her! with the ears and stuff
ryan : well, yeah. but nothing confirmed. but, either way, the search for skylar mccoy goes on today, year after year, and for her and her family’s behalf, i hope that it’s one day unravelled!
shane : find her! stop her from eating those bunnies!
ryan : but until then, this case remains unsolved.

 some thoughts on this year’s entries
or i guess just a ranking with comments tacked on
albania - this year’s nf season was a let down for me, partly because a lot of the winning songs weren’t the best on offer, and partly because albania picked first and nothing could live up to it. i love the depth this has, the dark, almost tribal vibes, and most of all i love how they didn’t fuck up the revamp like they usually do. if this is staged correctly, i think this could do really well. 10/10
greece - i feel like this has been overlooked in the wider fandom, which is odd because greek entries are usually pretty polarising, for better or for worse. regardless, i really like this. it’s atmospheric, powerful as hell, and katerine is more than capable of nailing it live. don’t count greece out just yet! 9.5/10
portugal - festival da canção was easily the best nf this year and the portuguese public picked wisely. telemóveis is such an intriguing song with a really curious sound, so traditional yet so modern at the same time. i’m not 100% on the staging, but they have time to figure it out. 9.5/10
spain - la venda wasn’t the song i was rooting for in the selection (rip todo bien, never forgotten) but i’m fully on board with it now. this works so well with a big audience, and you just know that the crowd will be on his side. if this doesn’t go top 10 at the very least i’ll be stunned. 9/10
cyprus - this is just as instant as fuego for me. not sure if tamta will do as well as eleni, but the cypriot delegation has definitely found their winning formula. 9/10
malta - malta is not fucking around this year. this is a verified banger, and their best entry in years, perhaps their best ever. take as many youtube ads as you want, michela, you deserve them. 8.5/10
azerbaijan - without a doubt, azerbaijan is back with a vengeance. you can tell they’re determined to set the record straight and prove that last year was just a blip, because this is great and hopefully the live performance reflects that. 8.5/10
denmark - i really should hate this, but i can’t. it’s so innocent and cheerily optimistic in a way that i can only be jealous of whilst humming along to the chorus. this deserves to do well. 8/10
italy - it took me a little while to warm up to soldi, but once i finally got there i really started to appreciate it. i don’t think it’s a winner, but it’s a very good song, and in the end that’s all that matters. 8/10
san marino - yes, serhat is in my top 10, and what of it? you only wish your fave could write a song in ten minutes and have it go off like this. and yes, if he doesn’t qualify you’ll catch me openly sobbing in the streets for weeks. 8/10
switzerland - an unabashed bop with some actual choreography, but lacking lyrically. then again, so was fuego and that popped off live. he’s also working with the same stage director as eleni, which can only be good news for him. 7.5/10
the netherlands - don’t get me wrong, it’s a very polished song and i’m sure duncan’s great but like... is that it? this is the big fan favourite? i’m very whelmed. 7.5/10
armenia - i was expecting something like yete karogh es from srbuk, so this came completely out of left field in the best way possible. i thought we’d lost our token edgy pop song when ukraine dropped out, but armenia saved us at the last minute. the only thing i’m worried about are her vocals, because, from what i’ve seen, she isn’t the most confident performer. 7/10
serbia - another respectable but ultimately pretty safe pick from serbia this year. nevena has a really strong voice and she sells the song well, so i think she’ll avoid another moje 3 style placement. 7/10
germany - first of all, aly ryan was robbed. secondly, thank god the surprise song didn’t win. thirdly, this is alright. nothing spectacular, but it’s cute and the spinning stage was a great stylistic choice. 7/10
latvia - thank you latvia for letting this win and rejecting markus riva’s basic ass for the sixth year in a row WHEW i really love the whole atmosphere that surrounds this. barring a miracle, however, i don’t think it’ll qualify, but it’s still a good attempt. 6.5/10
sweden - i don’t think it’s john’s most solid composition, but it’s a decent entry nevertheless and it’s nice to see sweden picking an entry that isn’t generic pop again. 6.5/10
united kingdom - my only faint glimmer of national pride so far this year is that we managed to pick the only good song from the flaming garbage pile that was our nf. yeah, the lyrics are redundant and it’s a ballad by numbers, but michael gives it his all and it really pays off. 6.5/10
ireland - this will absolutely not do well but who cares, it’s fun and harmless. super chill and easy to listen, and i think sarah’s a big eurovision fan already which is nice. also i’d just like to take this opportunity to thank her for ditching the ylva and linda song she originally applied with. 6.5/10
iceland - hm. this is one where you need to listen a few times to get a full impression of what the fuck you’re hearing/seeing. i really did not like this when i first heard it alongside all the other söngvakeppnin songs (and most of them sucked lbr), but now i’m kind of ambivalent towards it. i still don’t like the screaming or the key change, but it’s something different and i can admire that. 6/10
slovenia - fine, but forgettable. she has a nice voice, but there’s a distinct lack of stage presence from the two of them and i fear that this might get lost in the semi final. 6/10
israel - i’m conflicted here. i definitely don’t think home is as bad as the fan polls and reviews imply, but it’s not great either. a verse or two in hebrew would have really elevated this and i’m a little baffled as to why the writers didn’t include even a little bit considering the contest is on home turf this year. still, kobi’s a very convincing performer and israel probably didn’t want to win again anyway. 6/10
poland - this is an odd one, which isn’t a bad thing at all in a year full of safe entries. not sure if using the bilingual version was the best shout, but it’s clearly still very polish and i’m glad to hear that they’ll be wearing the traditional clothing on stage in tel aviv. 6/10
czech republic - the chorus absolutely slaps, and if i was judging by music alone this’d probably be in my top ten. unfortunately, though, the rest of the song exists. the lyrics are truly abysmal, with some of the lines ending awkwardly and without proper rhymes where they’re needed, and the spoken-word section is genuinely unbearable. 5.5/10
austria - i honestly don’t know where to place this one. very underwhelming when it was first released, but now i feel like there’s potential here. most of austria’s recent entries have been very under the radar only to end up doing quite well. i’m not as optimistic about this as some of those, but only time will tell. 5.5/10
hungary - not a patch on his previous entry, but pleasant enough. he’s a good performer and unless the staging really sucks, he’ll do fine. 5.5/10
north macedonia - it’s a nice ballad? i guess? and, unlike a lot of their recent entrants, tamara is an established singer who we all know can sing live. there are also rumours that the delegation has been planning the performance for a while, so who knows, perhaps this’ll qualify. 5/10
georgia - this has been growing on me lately. the song itself is a bit of a bust, although the revamp helped, but oto really brings it to life on stage. even if you don’t understand what he’s saying, you can tell by the emotion in his voice that he really means it. 5/10
russia - the nightmare dream team hasn’t produced a good song in over a decade at this point, this included. kirkorov needs to quit fooling himself and let someone else have a go. 4.5/10
belgium - belgium’s had quite the glow up since 2014, but i fear they’ve gone for style over substance this year. wake up is very polished, but it doesn’t go anywhere and eliot’s live performances haven’t been convincing as of yet. 4/10
lithuania - i don’t know what was more shocking, him winning the selection or me finding out that he was lolita zero’s real voice in 2017. this isn’t awful, just very repetitive and strangely put together. 3.5/10
norway - sue me, i don’t like this. the bald guy feels out of place and out of tune, it sounds like it was written by a child, and oh my god it’s so unbearably cheap. 3/10 
estonia - eesti laul was such a let down this year. usually there’s a good mix of mainstream and alternative genres, but the new producer doesn’t seem to give a shit about variety, which is a real shame. anyway, victor’s performance is slick, but he can barely sing and the song itself is nothing to write home about. 3/10
romania - when this was first selected i didn’t mind it, probably because i just really didn’t want laura bretan to win, but as the season drags on i’ve really soured to it. it feels like it lasts for a minute longer than it actually does, and the whole ay-ay-ay part was not a good choice. 2.5/10
australia - as someone who was a big fan of estonia last year, this is honestly the furthest thing from that. it comes across as quite cheap (even without the questionable staging), and the chorus really grates on me. 2.5/10
belarus - i didn’t watch the entirety of the belarusian auditions for them to reject the potato monks in favour of lidl’s own brand zara larsson. 2/10
france - this is why delegations should be wary of selecting social media stars for their national selections. yes, they might get the viewing figures up a little, but they’ll probably win and the song will be Bad. i respect his message, but holy shit is this hamfisted as hell. 1/10
finland - if anyone was wondering how darude only ever had one hit two decades ago, here is your answer. 1/10
moldova - they really don’t want to qualify this year, huh. could’ve had ca adriano celentano, but nope. basic tune, painfully simple lyrics, but i guess her voice is nice enough 1/10
croatia - this... is awful. upsettingly so. at least jacques’ last entry had a novelty factor, but he’s doomed this poor kid to failure. 0.5/10
montenegro - i have absolutely nothing positive to say here. honest to god one of the worst songs i’ve ever heard, and no amount of clumsily shoehorned in folk instrumentation was ever going to save this. i can only pray that they’re spending their preparation time wisely and taking singing lessons, but considering that they probably blew half the budget on the music video, it’s unlikely. 0/10
as for potential winners,  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
a lot of the big fan favourites don’t have a winning vibe about them, so we might be in for a shock this year. please let it be albania or greece
also feel free to drop me an ask if you want to chat about last year’s entries since i kind of ditched tumblr for a year or two lmao

David’s Resolution - Day 18
Day 18 (January 18, 2019)
Blade: Trinity (2004)
Tumblr media
“In the movies, Dracula wears a cape, and some old English guy always manages to save the day at the last minute with crosses and holy water. But everybody knows the movies are full of shit. The truth is, it started with Blade, and it ended with him. The rest of us were just along for the ride.”
In 1997, Batman & Robin was released to theaters and... well, a lot of people didn’t like it. In fact, many say it’s one of the worst movies ever made. The first part is true as it was slammed by critics and audiences upon release and has cultivated a considerable notoriety for its badness; the second part is false because trust me, it is FAR from the worst ever made. If you unironically consider Batman & Robin one of the worst films ever, please tell me what your criteria are for determining whether a film is “one of the worst ever”, because I think that criteria is lacking. But one thing that is for certain about Batman & Robin is that it, along with the failure of Steel that same year, more or less killed DC Comics’ hold in the box office. They struggled for several years with other films until finally seeing success again with 2005′s Batman Begins, which was a critical and commercial success and started Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight Trilogy” of Batman films.
In between those Batman films, however, Marvel Comics decided to take another shot at movies after some... not-so-great films. And we got Blade. Hell yeah.
Telling the stylish and action-packed tale of the half-vampire Blade (Wesley Snipes) who hunts down vampires and does so in the coolest way possible, Blade - released one year after Batman & Robin - was a critical and commercial success, Marvel’s first in the box office. This was impressive not only because it was a comic book movie and people were questioning the viability of the genre after Batman & Robin, but also because it was an R-rated comic book movie featuring a more obscure character instead of someone more well-known to audiences. Blade was a pretty cool, stylish, badass movie and while X-Men and Spider-Man would become bigger and more famous successes, I’d like to think that Blade started Marvel’s new era of superhero movies and influenced their approach to making future films, especially when it came to looking into more obscure properties to adapt to film like the Guardians of the Galaxy.
And then there was Blade II, released in 2002 and directed by my guy Guillermo del Toro. This was a sequel that was even better than the original in practically every way. The villain was cooler and surprisingly sympathetic (not being mean to you, Stephen Dorff, you were great in the first film, but I’m just saying), the story has some neat twists to it, the characters are great and memorable, the action’s exciting and one-ups the sequences in the first movie, and it has Del Toro’s distinctive visual style for days.
And then came Blade: Trinity, which cocked the whole thing up. In order to properly prepare for this film, I watched the other two films (I’ve seen them before, which is why I’m not writing full reviews for them). I had actually tried to watch this years ago but only got as far as the first act because younger David somehow thought it was that bad. That’s the younger David who would have probably disliked watching sex, lies, and videotape.
This movie’s premise is simple: the vampire world has decided that in order to destroy Blade, they hit the Godzilla threshold and awaken Dracula (Dominic Purcell), the very first vampire ever to exist, to help them fight. And this time, Blade’s not doing it alone. Okay, he wasn’t always alone, as he had his mentor Abraham Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) in the other two films and- oh, they kill off Whistler in the first act, wow, that’s some bullshit. Well, now Blade has become part of a group of vampire hunters called the Nightstalkers, and accompanying him is the wisecracking Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds) and Whistler’s daughter Abigail (Jessica Biel). Okay, the stakes are raised - pun unintended, promise - and this is going to be the biggest challenge yet for Blade.
Speaking of Ryan Reynolds... he’s the best thing in this movie ,getting that out there right now. His character, Hannibal King, could best be described as “Deadpool Lite”. He calls his vampire ex a cock-juggling thundercunt, which is one of the greatest insults of all time and that alone makes him great. I can see why some people would find him annoying or grating, but I like to think of it as a dry run for his playing the Merc with a Mouth, which is funny considering that around this time, Reynolds was hearing about the Deadpool character. In fact, after this movie, Reynolds would begin the twelve-year-long journey of bringing DP to the big screen, which would involve playing a character named Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
I’m sorry, this movie is not great. It’s just a big disappointing letdown. One of the problems with the movie is with Blade. Not the character himself, he’s still pretty cool and Wesley Snipes is great. I mean that this doesn’t feel like his movie. In the other two movies, it was pretty clear he was the guy in charge, especially in Blade II when he made it clear to the vampires he formed a truce with that he was not someone you screw with. But in this one, he just kinda gets shunted off for several other characters. To their credit, Marvel would get better at ensemble films (The Avengers, ‘nuff said), but in this one, it just feels sad. We watched this movie because we want more of Blade. But it feels like they put him in the back seat to focus more on other characters. He’s the title character for fuck’s sake, and yet he feels like he’s a side character in his own movie. Just like what happened with Tom and Jerry...
What doesn’t help either is that the film is one of those “too many things happening for its own good” films. The movie’s got too much going on and it feels confusing. What’s this film about? Is it about Blade fighting Dracula with the Nightstalkers? Is it about the vampire world finally getting the law to crack down on Blade? Is it about the vampire’s plans to completely subjugate the world? It doesn’t seem to know which one it wants to focus on, which really hurts considering that this is supposed to be the biggest threat that the vampire hunters of the world ever faced, and yet Dracula seems like less of a legitimate threat than Deacon Frost in the first movie or the Reaper virus in the second. And it’s not the only third film in a superhero film series to have this problem, as X-Men: The Last Stand had this same problem with too much happening. Again, Marvel at least got better at juggling multiple plotlines in superhero movies with their cinematic universe, so there is that.
There’s a lot of other problems big and small, and a good chunk of them can probably be traced back to Wesley Snipes. The production of this film was pretty screwed up, and a lot of it is due to him. David S. Goyer, who wrote all the Blade films including this one, ended up directing it when no one else wanted to take the job. Snipes was unhappy with Goyer’s decision to direct, and both he and Kris Kristofferson were unhappy with the script, which is probably why Kristofferson’s character is killed off early on. (Reminds me of what they did with RoboCop’s partner in RoboCop 3, another third movie in a series that sucked.) Not only that, but Snipes was hostile to Goyer as well as Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel; at one point, Hannibal King says “He doesn’t like me, does he?”, which was not Hannibal talking about Blade, but Reynolds talking about Snipes. Snipes also apparently refused to leave his trailer for any scenes that didn’t show his face, so his stunt double did a lot of the Blade scenes. His working relationship with Goyer got so bad that he called him a racist several times for no reason and refused to speak to him, communicating only in Post-It notes. The fact that the final film got finished and is... watchable... is pretty impressive.
This film, sadly, killed off the Blade franchise. New Line Cinema’s problems with Wesley Snipes led to them making a short-lived TV show on Spike TV with someone else playing the Daywalker, and then Snipes got sent to prison for tax evasion and the Blade character’s film rights reverted to Marvel during his prison term. He’s been in talks with Marvel Studios to bring the character back, but so far they’ve said they have no plans for the character in the future. Here’s hoping we get more Blade in the future.
I should also mention that the version I saw was the unrated cut, which doesn’t really add more violence or swears or other things cut for an MPAA rating as all the Blade movies were rated R. It has some more plot and character stuff, but that doesn’t help the movie much when compared to the theatrical version. The biggest change is the ending, which includes the infamous shot of Blade’s opening eyes being superimposed over his face when Snipes refused to open his eyes in the scene.
This movie’s a mess, plain and simple. It is without a doubt the weakest film in the Blade trilogy, which sucks because it could have been better. If they had trimmed some of the plotlines and focused more on Blade than his companions, it would have been better. Like Mimic 3, I don’t hate the film, I just find it disappointing with how it could have been better. For what it is, it’s still watchable, but it’s just a muddled mess of a movie. Not sure if I’d recommend it. I’d definitely recommend the other two Blade films.
Also, if any of you are hoping for me to review more Marvel movies as part of this resolution, you may be out of luck, sadly. I’ve seen all the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, as I had to catch up in time for Avengers: Infinity War, as well as all the X-Men films and spinoffs and the 2003 Hulk, which I actually really liked, even more than some MCU films (to which someone will say “it’s okay, you can just say Thor: The Dark World”). ...Although I haven’t seen the Amazing Spider-Man films yet...
Next time: How about a GOOD comic book movie from 1997?

Yesterday, I was wondering how this time they didn’t do a like Q&A for this season, but they disappoint me and did this out of fucking nowhere today. Thank you for my life, boys.
Look at them, I love them! They are so handsome!
Ghoul HQ, “you look like my parents trying to go live” true. Also love them accepting their dadness in this.
Today in Shane thinks weird ways to die are cool: Eaten By Birds.
The only camera man for them in my heart is TJ, so... “He’s a very... stoic man” “I’ve seen him smiling” “It looks like a struggle” LMAO.
I love Shane’s hair. And I love how fucking big Ryan’s arms are, I’m fucking dying, holy shit. Crush me in those biceps, sr.
“Ryan you have something on your teeth” OH YOU LIARS, also jdnsndskdmkdsdmkf. Shane realizing he is staying alone in the room, lmao. “LET’S HEAR YOUR BEST HOTDAGA QUESTIONS”, I love him.
HotDaga coming back this week, baby! Also, Shane saying “we’re back, baby” does a lot of things to me.
GUYS, stop asking them the same question. They have talked a lot about what their favorite location has been. Enough. But yaass, New Orleans has good jazz, check out their jazz.
These guys sure have a lot of Bad Food experiences during their trips, oh my god.
Well, I think it’s p obvious the story part of the show is writen down and the rest of it it’s... just what happen while they walk into location, Shane’s reactions are all real. Remember he knows shit about the case until he listens to Ryan’s script.
I kinda agree with Shane in this, “I woke up” stuff is kinda-- I don’t know. Also, I know some folks have been worried that others think Shane presents as disrespectful to people who believes, and this is a good time to say that he doesn’t and he is not. As said by him and supported by Ryan in this moment, he is not.
“And one of my fave characters is dead” oh my god, I’m sure they are talking about Infinity War, but these two-- oh my God, their faces just CHANGED. They are such dads, don’t do that to them, pals, they seriously care.
Ryan smiling at Shane live is the reason I wake up this morning it seems. Oh, look at Shane looking at Ryan, that’s the other reason I woke up today.
Every time I see Shane talking about videogames and Ryan going ?, all I can think about is @void-bee‘s fanart for the crack AU with Gamer Shane and Beauty Guru Ryan.
Heart Monitors and Shane goes immediately THAT’S A GOOD DIEA, he’s so excited-- freakin’ demon, you want us to see you seriously are just standing there humoring Ryan or what.
Guys, save me from this hell of getting Emotions out of the way Shane smirks while Ryan is saying he has gotten a little braver, and the way Ryan laughs about it while looking at Shane smirking, like... save me.
I love their laugh. I love seeing them laughing together.
A WHAT STOLE A BABY? Okay, I need to get from under my rock my often. Also, Shane going immediatelly to “that’s devastating” is such a mood.
The fact that they don’t know if TJ and the rest of their crew are boogaras or shaniacs is amazing, lmao. 
Ryan looking at Shane to confirm he agrees with him every single time is everything.
I love Shane’s jacket.
Hey guys, remember when we thought Shane was possessed but it turned out he had some bad food? Shane making fun of himself with the bad hotdogs story is such a mood, and the fact that Ryan will never let go of it it’s jdnsufdi. I love a friendship.
That’s a good quesiton, facebook person-- if Ryan would still be a skeptic if the toothpaste hadn’t fallen. But yeah-- I guess it was the whole trip that convinced him, that little thingy falling was just the cherry on top. Also-- the way turned on by itself? My english sucks today, it seems. I didn’t understand.
Shane talks about that day in the Queen Mary like if he was there and that’s... such Foolish Mortal mood. Also, I’m sure he knows Ryan’s pals by now, and that’s pretty cool, too.
Oh, God-- stop. The discourse is coming again, I can feel it. But also, the fact that these two seriously appreciate their co-worker should be enough for your people to shut up a little, holy shit.
Look at them roasting poor Steven and agreeing Andrew would be like :l all the time in location. How about you invited both to it? Please?
Bragging the boys with popcorn seems to be the answer to everything. Also, that story of Ryan looking at pictures of popcorn while with his friends, oh my God. How obssessed can you be? HOLY SHIT.
Space Invaders is a great movie, by the way. Is a lot of fun. It’s ridiculous, but fun.
Yeah, please bring in Jeff Goldblum. Can you imagine weird yet hot as fuck Goldblum with weird yet hot as fuck Shane? I want that.
I love the fact that Ryan doesn’t get scared with scary attractions and scary movies because all our fanfics are inacurate, so we need to start writing something else. But also-- it fuels that one headcanon, you all know which one I’m talking about 👀
Going again with looking at Shane to see if he agrees with what he’s saying. Mood.
“Yeah, I was. I feel comfortable to be out in the forest” he is, in fact, Bigfoot.
“Would you consider coming back to Mexico?” LOOOOOOK AT THE BEAUTIFULLLLL SIIIIGHT OF VALIDAAAATIOOOOOON. “Yeah, like go there-- I can touch, like, a bunch of my own culture.” LA VALIDACIÓOOOOON, ES TAN BUEEENAAAA. On your fucking ugly ass racist face, anons!
I love how much they hate the Island of the Dolls because I love that place so much, I feel so comfortable in that place and its story is resonates so much with me and the story of my cochina af city, it’s amazing. I’m gonna send me pictures of Alicia just to fuck with them.
Ryan confirming they do search for places where they can do more than the investigation, jdsnmknjdskmnj.
Can’t wait for this Post Mortem, seems like we are going to have a lot of things coming, dnsknfir. Included the Hotdaga, lmao.
PACKAGE!!!!!! What did you guys sent them now? I love you all.
They answered where they weren’t going to ever in the last live Q&A actually. Also, my boys respecting cultures and people’s struggles. I love them.
Glad you guys know how funny you look with all the gear you carry around. Also, WE NEED BEHIND THE SCENES OF THESE THINGS, COME ON. They need to do this at least ONCE, they must look Aesthetically Nice gearing up.
@ BuzzFeed give my mans money so they can keep travelling outside the USA.
Ah, the spirit box tweet. You guys say Ryan’s face is smug and therefore it must be real, but honestly? No, that’s not smug. He looks done. I’m even more sure than before that is bullshit. That “okay...”, yeah no-- it’s bullshit. Poor Ryan, save him from this demon.
We have hear the holy water story three times, guys... the same questions... ask other things, please.... Also, lmao, Father Thomas Mention(tm). Drink every time the boys mention Father Thomas in the Q&As.
“I hope we can get back in touch with him” “Yeah, I’m sure he is very disappointed in us” totally. I wonder if Father Thomas knows he is a meme in our fandom and recurrent character in fanfics?
Honestly, I’ll watch you two talk about shit for four hours straight if I could.
“It was good times, it was good times” it sure looked like it in the instastories.
They are such dads. I love them.

//I guess this is a ‘Good Bye’ ?
** THIS MIGHT BE A BIT OVERDRAMATIC (until we know for sure how this is gonna go)... BUT, I JUST WANTED IT TO BE POSTED, JUST IN CASE.**
Tumblr media
I live in Europe, and you guys might’ve seen this post flying around.. 
   Which means I might, along with my fellow European role players, have our content deleted...? And won’t be able to see any content from you, either.
   So... if/before this happens, I wanted to Thank You All, from the bottom of my heart for following me, interacting with me, having great threads and making wonderful friends through these years. It really means a lot to me and I will remember all of you, forever. And have memories of our times here. (I might save everything, print it out and keep in in a safe lmao WHAT A CRIMINAL)
I’ve role played Axel for about... well, it’s close to 5 years now. It’s insane. It’s been a great ride..   some ups and downs, like everyone has, but happily mostly Amazing times.
Some of you have followed me– we’ve been mutuals since day One. And I just want to say, I love you and thank you for sticking around, even though we might not have played much together, or at all. Just reading each others interactions has been great and you are all doing such a great job, I hope you know that. Be proud of your character, and your work.
I’m really not good with good bye’s... fucking.. separation anxiety. But I’d like to Highlight some people that have been an honor to play with and some that I have absolutely adored just stalked throughout these years. (this is in no particular order, I love each and everyone of you ♥ And I wish I could write something about everyone of you, but... I don’t know if I have time. I might be shut down at any second and this point hah!)
@samscudder – You’re the most amazing artist, amazing writer and story teller. You have an incredible imagination and I hope you continue to use that fantastic mind of yours. You’re a great person, friend. Honest, fair, smart and kind. And you’ve had such patience with me, and the way I’ve portrayed Axel. When it’s not have been nowhere near Canon, you’ve been OK with that, or given me feedback to help and you’ve taught me a lot of things I didn’t know, you’ve helped me and answered the most stupid questions, and I just fucking love you. ♥ 
@roguette-skater – We started playing pretty early in my DC Comics years, when I had just started to read the Flash comics and fell in love with the Rogues, and Axel. I was impatient and made a rp blog without having enough knowledge about this little brat, but you were fine with it. And for that, I’m very very grateful. I was new to OC’s but reading your character Louise, I was just amazed by her and instead of having her and Axel ‘meet for the first time’, went with that they had basically grown up together. I regret nothing. It’s an amazing sibling relationship and I thank you for creating such a wonderful character. And thank you for letting me play with you. ♥
@i-still-quote-twain – I want to, of course, Thank you as well for letting me play with you. And apologize for have bothering you so much with my damn obsession that is Mark/Axel. Also thank you for it. The artwork you created of them is my absolute favorite piece and I want to thank you for tagging me in it. It means a lot that you took some of your time and energy to draw it. I didn’t even know that you were, but it was hiiiiighly appreciated and thank you thank you thank you. It’s been an amazing time, and amazing, funny, emotional threads we’ve had and I have adored every single one. I hope you have too! ♥ 
@perfectedrobin – Dan.. Dan, dan, dan...      I don’t know what more to say than a sincere Fuck You.
Hahaha!
Nah,   You are like...    I don’t remember how we started talking, but when we did, we just clicked. That sounds so romantic wtf.  hey if I get a dick will u date me
 I love the “hateful”-playful-sarcastic-friendship kind of thing.. and we have that. (Or maybe you do hate me. The fuck do I know.)  But anyway, Damian and Axel. The hell is all that about. It all started with a joke, and then the joke became more of a joke and it became a hot fucking joke. I love it. It’s not what I usually like for Ax, him having his fucking Daddy Kink and all.. but Damian and Axel, their impossible fantastic duo, as ..friends??? and two dudes, opposite side of law and morals, but still not that different at all, working together... it’s perfect. It’s been a fucking pleasure, man. ♥
@exrogue – Bells, the Shane to my Ryan. Digger couldn’t have been portrayed this well by anyone else, in my mind. Holy fuck, dude. Your writing and your portray of the damn drunk is A+ in every category and when we first started writing together, I was a nervous wreck, but you turned out to be just as strange of a fellow as I am and boiiiii  we need to hang someday. I’ll come down, alright. We should do some ghost hunting, bruh. Wheeze around a little bit. We should bring @i-still-quote-twain as well. Unsolved Fan, there too. It’d be great. And you could laugh at me being the more ridiculous kind of Ryan than Ryan. Imagine that.       Anyways... Thank you for putting up with my shit ♥
@one-rogue-army – Gosh, your writing and your character and amazing development of him and mine! It’s been such a great time writing with you. A lot of Ax’s character development has been thanks to Tony, and I’m really glad you wanted to play with me. Humor and Angst, it’s two of my favorites, and you’ve given me both!  Don’t ever change, because you are one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. ♥ @mamasbvy – Yo, yo, yooooo...   Boii, have I loved playing with you... I wouldn’t have dreamed of Axel getting some actual loving and from someone who truly means his best. I am absolutely stunned by your character and I wish he was real, because damn, son. D a n g.   Thank you, for everything. These two has it all, and that is exactly what they need. Your writing is inspiring and I hope you keep it up, because it really pulls you in to the story. I will love this ship and carve it into the wood of my own casket.     Wow that’s bizarre but I love you, and again thank you ♥
@queryxecho – THE MOMS TO MY BOY. You’ve given me such jooooooooy to play Axel and to have him play son around your girls. He has really appreciated their help, toys, their caring and scolding, everything. And I have really appreciated chatting with you, having great times and discussed important and not so important things in life. It’s been amazing. You are amazing. ♥
 –  Now, like I said, I can’t write down a Love Confession Letter to each and everyone of you, but I am just as happy, grateful and honored to have seen you guys on my dash, and written with you and stalked your blogs with a heart eyes emoji face. Thank you. Thank you and Thank you so much for giving me these memories. 
♥ such babes ♥

In 1947, Master Sergeant James B. Barnes's surviving field journals were posthumously published as the classic war memoir The Night War. Now a high school history classroom mainstay and required reading at West Point, this highly anticipated 60th Anniversary Edition presents the original, unedited text alongside detailed historical notes that provide important context to the extraordinary wartime heroics of Captain America and the Howling Commandos.
Barnes, James B. The Night War: The Wartime Memoirs of a Howling Commando. Ed. Harold Miller. 60th Anniversary ed. New York: HarperCollins, 2005. Print.
Guys. Girls. Non-binary friends. PEOPLE. LISTEN UP!!!!
I am here to right a terrible wrong because it is CRIMINAL how little attention this fic is getting on AO3. CRIMINAL I SAY.
Here’s a sample of the comments I left on this fic:
“ok like 99% of the time with this fic I'm scratching my head and thinking "did this actually happen or did she exercice some author freedom?" and that's just a testament of how well this is written that you could truly believe that 100% of what is written is actual factual historical TRUTH.”
“omfg you're amazing. I don't know HOW in the hell you managed to create this story/diary in a way that I fucking ask myself what's real and what's not because you make it seems as if Bucky and Cap and the Howling Commandoes WERE ACTUALLY FIGHTING WW2.”
“So many people have said it before me, and way more eloquently, but god. This fic is amazing in every single way. The format, the plot, the characterization, everything is on point. Everything is an incredible proof of your skill as a writer.”
“To me, this fic is pretty much up there with the NEC series in regards to the best fics in this fandom, (...) This deserves to be a fandom classic. I will rec this until my dying breath. I would print this and put it on my bookshelf. It's a masterpiece.”
“unless you have a phd in ww2, I don't think anyone could read this and feel like it wasn't 200% accurate“
I’m not kidding guys. This is probably my FAVORITE FIC OF THE YEAR! Like I said above, this is one of the very few fics that I would totally print because I wanna hold it in my hands, cradle it like a baby, and cherish it for the rest of eternity. The other fic I feel like that about, off the top of my head? NEC!!!!!!!! So you see how highly I think of this fic, this story, this work of art, this masterpiece.
This fic reads EXACTLY as if you would’ve gone to your local library, picked up a WW2 memoir/diary from a survivor, and read it. As I’ve said above, this is so realistic that you find yourself wondering “did that fight actually happen? Are those OCs or actual people? Did the Allies ever do that thing?” ALL THE TIME. That’s it. The format, the frickin’ footnotes, the manips!!! Everything is 110% ON POINT. The amount of work and research that must’ve gone into this story, I can’t even comprehend it.
And then the fact that it’s Bucky’s diary. Just. Hits you IN THE FEELS. ALL TH TIME.
Just spend two seconds reading the comments. I’ve never wanted to sit down and read the comments that people leave on a fic but I WOULD DO IT FOR THIS FIC because everyone’s comments are so interesting!!! They make me see stuff I hadn’t noticed while reading! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fic where SO MANY PEOPLE leave long, interesting, analytic, rambly comments, and where the author responds with amazing comments of her own. @praximeter​ is a gift. Shit guys, am I gonna have to sample other people’s comments because they’re way more eloquent than my own? I’ll put them under a read more because this is getting out of hand.
Wanna know the best part? THERE’S A SEQUEL COMING UP :DDDDDD
I absolutely love the authentic feels of this, Bucky's diary. I did not read All Quiet on the Western Front, as another commenter did, but have recently (after having seen Wonder Woman, actually) watched the 1930s movie, and are hitting the tone and content perfectly. I kept this story on my to-read list because I wanted time to savour it. I simply adore fanfic that is set and elaborates on the historical settings of the movies, and can only thank you for putting so much work and knowledge into this. -Vaysh
whoa. this is everything i ever wanted??? bucky is perfectly characterized and the language. the LANGUAGE. it's so true to the time period, and it just works so well, and the historical accuracy is top. notch. how much research you put into this is beyond me. this is definitely going to be my new obsession for a long time. expect comments on the rest of your chapters, i literally cannot express how good this is. -small_queen
This is one of the best Bucky POV stories I've ever read, and definitely the best Captain America story set in the war. I really appreciate your attention to historical detail, and I'm really looking forward to future chapters. -norwich36
I am honestly enthralled with this story. It's a goddamn work of art even(...)  I /highly/ encourage the author to work on getting this published. One of the best historical style fictions I've read, who gives a damn that it's fan fiction. It's amazing and so well written with character and emotion in every damn word. I don't have words to do this piece of literature justice. -candlesneedflame
I love the voice you've written for Bucky in this. I've been devouring this over the past few days, but this particular chapter was so good I just had to comment. The confusion, the fear, the uncertainty, the devotion and faith in his brothers in arms, this reads so realistically. I can easily believe this as an in universe classic. All of the extra details - the stories of what happened to everyone after the war, the footnotes tying their exploits in with the greater war, it all helps to flesh this out. -Shazrolane
The more I read your story the more I am blown away by the 'fake' accuracy of the military story side of it. Your story of Bucky is amazing but the historian in me is riveted by your summaries at the end of each chapter. They read like a historical report. I focused on WWII and Germany in my history major over 25 years ago and this takes me back to my research days. I can only assume you've spent some serious time researching the era as this has an amazing amount of detail. It seems real. I know you are basing it off of fact but I could believe this actually happened. -Fraulein
I used to live on Carlisle, Pa, where the Army Heritage Center is. My dad and I used to go to read the handwritten accounts of soldiers who fought in WWII, Kore, and Vietnam. I have read Lt Goranson's personal account of DDay (the person Tom Hank's character in Saving Private Ryan was based on). This story reads like one of those. It is incredibly realistic and engaging. I was so caught up in it i ended up reading it at 3 am in my car because i couldnt put it down. In fact I am still in my car writing this review. I dont understand how this has so few comments. -smac89
Holy wow. Just downloaded your whole fic to read on a road trip and wow, so so glad I did. I'm obsessed with the way you write - it's so true to how I imagine a soldier would write, so matter of fact and difficult to parse how he's truly feeling yet at the same time, so young and boyish and charming. I really have over the last few hours grown to love your Bucky not just because he's Bucky Barnes but because of how you write him, that perfect balance of tortured self awareness of his role in the war with the happy-go-lucky person he must have been pre-war. What can I say, I have lots of feelings about James Buchanan Barnes... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The other thing I adore is how much detail you've put into this - the historical notes are so fun to read, the care and love with which you craft each encounter and scene and its history and importance. You've really created something so beautiful and incredible here. So many kudos and I'm so excited to continue reading it! -jexlane
AND THAT’S ONLY A SAMPLE OF A FEW PAGES OF COMMENTS!!!

Something about episode 4 that bothered me that I really need to get off my chest
So @strangesurvivals​  has really good posts about this that honestly made me realize that was exactly what bothered me and they are very put-together posts, so if you want something that’s not as rambling as mine, go check it out. Check it out regardless of what I put on here, because it’s a great blog and they deserve love and attention.
Here’s what rubbed me the wrong way: the stupid Warlock school subplot and the concept of the Alpha.
In a post I made with my general thoughts on the episode, I mentioned that I thought it was interesting about the concept of Supreme vs Alpha but followed it with saying I wasn’t about to start discourse.
Well, I retract that statement and am going to start discourse.
I’ll probably be crucified for saying that Coven wasn’t my favorite season, but it wasn’t. I love the concept and absolutely adore the characters and agree that the season kicked some serious ass, but I couldn’t really jam with the plot. I don’t know why, since I’ve watched and read very similar things, but I just couldn’t really get into it. Sorry. Even though it wasn’t my favorite season, I definitely screamed when they appeared and loved all the scenes they were in. Because they're characters that I love and actresses that I love, and I knew that would up the stakes more than they were already upped.
And then the plot happened.
I make fun of the fact that it started out like Harry Potter with Michael being recruited, but then Ryan took the Chosen One concept a bit too far and decided to call it the Alpha. And I just, no. Just no. No, don’t do that. Don’t do that to Michael. He’s already the Antichrist. That’s more than enough of a role to fill, and he doesn't need some Harry Potter/Star Wars magic Chosen One that’s destined to defeat the Ultimate Evil (TM) on top of being the Antichrist. It’s unnecessary and it took away from that subplot for me. It felt lazy, it felt forced, it felt contradictory, it just lessened the impact of the Antichrist plot and Michael’s harnessing of his powers. At least, the way Ryan did it. I’ll get back to that.
So Michael Potter Skywalker is taken to a magic school to develop his Amazing Magic Powers because something happens that tells The Powers That Be that he’s Super Powerful- more than any of them. Only one of those Authorities is suspicious and hesitant to take this person is because he can smell Big Trouble because This Kid Ain’t Right. But everyone laughs off Cheyanne Yoda Jackson because holy fuck he pulled some Exorcist shit then curled up in a ball crying on the floor he must be The One With The Ultimate Power (TM) we must take this emotionally unstable child in and harness his magic because absolutely nothing will go wrong with taking him in and teaching him to control his crazy strong magic that manifests himself in murder. Cheyanne Yoda Jackson is just being paranoid, he only impaled a guy with multiple knives and blew a guys head up. He may have Much Anger In Him and acts in a way that looks like he’s Demon Possessed, but have you seen his Midichlorian count? We have to bring him in because he might be able to destroy the Sith and bring Balance to the Force and finally dismantle the ever-present fear of Voldemort’s Reign of Terror! Stop being a spoilsport and train him like the rest of us, it’ll be fine! Oh, and we won’t help him adjust to his power gradually in order to make up for the years of training he lost in order to give him the same foundation everyone else has and the skills and trust of the System to not be reigned by his unstable emotions and Much Anger In Him. Nah, throw him in the deep end headfirst, he’ll be fine. In fact, we’ll raise our expectations and push him harder than everyone else and tell him his Destiny from the beginning so he has all this pressure on him. There’s no way he’ll lash out and have a sense of entitlement.
Now, who are The-Sith-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named that oppress the poor, defenseless Warlocks? The rest of humanity? That was in Coven, and it would be interesting to have a Magneto-type background that ties into his disgust at humanity and proves his “evil motherfuckers” point. Is it the Humans? It’s not? Who is it?
The Witches, of course! Those Nasty, Horrible Women who use their Superior Woman Magic to press the poor defenseless Warlocks who just want to Be Equals and not be molotov cocktailed after those Stupid Women didn’t have the foresight to the potential consequences of trying to foster good relations with the Muggle World and being open about their Mutant status because they’re Mutants, and they’re Proud! We need an Alpha Male to save us from the Uterus! A Level Four! The Manliest Man in all of Manhood who will put those women in their place and take them down from their High and Mighty Egos. In Coven they had thinly-veiled metaphors for racism by having European vs Voodoo magic fights that tried to make us see that the Poor White Girls are just Misunderstood and Blissfully Ignorant that the Voodoo Community is just as Powerful and Valid as the rest of them! And they still have that in Apocalypse, but now they also have Gender Inequality in it, too! But like, not showing the tired, traditional Oppressed Women narrative that a lot of feminists tell. No, it’s the Refreshing alternate view that maybe, there are areas of life where Men are not on top? And that’s bad for them? It’s daring and bold and no one has ever proposed this idea ever! I’m so creative and revolutionary!!!
The Supreme title was interesting to me because there’s always the Head Witch or something like that. But Ryan gave her the title of Supreme, because the one to master all fundamental areas of magic has Supreme Magic that is more powerful. Which makes sense and is pretty refreshing to me, because it felt like an acknowledgement while over-glorifying the title. Because Supreme also sounds like a threat and a title everyone would fight over, so whoever has that title has to constantly watch her back because other people will try to take that for themselves. The title was forged in blood, and it’s a constant reminder of that. And the show does a great job showing how hard and how dangerous that title is. It shows work, it shows strength, it shows earning the title.
That is the complete opposite of the Alpha role. Level Four. Honestly I hate the fact that they rank the students with 4 levels because it’s honestly unhealthy competition in my opinion. But we’re focusing on the Alpha. It’s a stupid concept, it’s a stupid plot device, it’s a stupid mentality, it’s a stupid rank, it’s a stupid title. “But you’re a Christian, isn’t that hypocritical of you because you’re okay with calling God the Alpha?” Actually, that’s not His full title. The full title is the Alpha and the Omega- which is FUCKING GREEK FOR THE BEGINNING AND THE END AND IS A PRETTY ACCURATE TITLE FOR THE FUCKING CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE AND DON’T BRING MY RELIGION INTO THIS I AM NOT GOING TO SAY THAT AGAIN
Anyways, the Alpha thing and why it’s hella problematic. Its real-life counterpart is a hideous mentality that really messed-up men have that leads to entitlement issues that lead to violence- usually against women whose bodies they feel they are owed and believe that their superior “Alpha Male” status demands. Just, it doesn’t matter if that’s what he was imagining- which I doubt given the context- or not, the fictional Alpha Male trope and the real-word damage the Alpha Male mentality causes make this fictional title undesirable and uncomfortable. It also doesn’t imply the hard work that the Supreme title does. Like I referenced in my sarcastic rant, it’s why people hated the Midichlorian thing in Star Wars. I actually asked my dad if they were mad because it wasn’t referenced in the original trilogy. He said, and I paraphrase, “Partly. It’s the implications of them not mentioning it in the original trilogy that we have a problem with. When it first came out, the Force was something that everyone had and that some people were more in tune with than others. But it was in everyone, so everyone with the right training could become a Jedi. You might not be as powerful as the other Jedi, but you can be a Jedi or at the very worst, someone with cool Force abilities that can use the Force. Just not at the level of the Jedi. That was awesome because me and everyone else was saying, “I could be a Jedi! I could learn how to master the Force! Then Episode 1 came out and it said, nah, you can’t. It’s twitch muscles. You have it, or you don’t. Your DNA determines wether or not you can actually use the Force. Everyone has the Force, but you can’t be trained to tap into that power. It was like a slap in the face to the people who spent decades with the fantasy of training to be a Jedi. Since you haven’t had the time gap between movies, it’s less of an issue. But to us, it hurts a lot.” And that’s exactly what the Alpha does. It’s not that Michael is powerful and gradually shows the potential to be the Alpha then proves himself to be able to survive the grueling process to earn that status. It’s just that they see that he’s powerful (which I have no idea how impressive that footage is since we don’t have a great example of how weak everyone else’s magic is in comparison, imo) and assume that because he’s super powerful he’s The One. It just wasn’t as compelling to me as finding out about the Supreme. And yes, the witches do inherently have more magic and yes, the Supreme inherently has more magic, but it’s still like the Jedi. Not everyone is Force-Sensitive, so not everyone can be a Jedi; by extension, not all the Jedi can have the highest rank and there are many nuances and strengths of the people’s Force abilities. That’s something that I thought was interesting in Coven and was a bit disappointed that they didn’t play around with it more, but that’s not what this is about. I’m just showing how the Warlocks could have a similar Nuance even with their ranking system and could’ve had more of a parallel with the Witches.
But they didn’t.
Instead Ryan decided to have some weird social commentary about how women could be as bad as men and whenever they have some area where they’re better than men, they abuse that area and twist the narrative to make themselves the victims; in these areas, the men are now the ones who have to fight tooth and claw to get equal treatment. This is the standard “Women can be just as bad as men given the opportunity!” narrative that hurts legitimate activism to get men the same treatment in areas such as domestic abuse, where the statistics of male victims and the numbers of how they receive justice for it are much different than for women. There was a social study where two actors pretended to be a couple having an argument in public that gets violent, with one partner starting to get more and more physical and the other partner getting more and more in danger of being seriously hurt. When the woman was the victim, people rushed to her aid and got in between them and called him out on his behavior. When the man was the victim, a significantly less number of people did that, and most people laughed it off as the male being “whipped”- or, not filling the male role in the relationship. The power balance is suddenly funny when the woman has more power over the women. Now, I’m not going to go into that discourse, and you have my word on that. Domestic abuse is a horrific epidemic that both men and women face, and statistically women are the victims much more than men. But that doesn’t mean that when men are abused, it’s not that bad as when women are. And so when activist groups push for more awareness of this epidemic and trying to change the narrative of what domestic abuse looks like, we should listen and treat it seriously. But when narratives like the Witch oppression of the Warlocks being used to bring attention to “reverse sexism”- which is bullshit, btw- it lessons actual legit activism and make both activism for male issues and activism for female issues seem less important. Less serious. They become more of a joke and people overreacting than things of actual importance. And it’s just bad writing. There are way better ways to have a Warlock vs Witch narrative that Michael is involved in. Way better ways. Way better ways than “oppressed men might have someone who can overthrow the oppressive women because he’s more powerful and men might be able to reclaim their position of power”.
Honestly, I was mostly annoyed by this is that not only was Ryan- consciously or no- even doing it, but he was doing it where the men were just being whiny and had no real argument. They gloated at Cordelia and tried to provoke her by dangling Michael as “The One (TM) who would overthrow the Witches’ power over them” in front of her to try to get her angry. They act like her refusing to put him through the Seven Wonders is proof that she’s scared of being overthrown. Because cowards act like that. And that when she uses Misty and Queenie as examples of how she isn’t all powerful like they believe and to give examples of how dangerous the world of magic is and how just recklessly going forward can land them in trouble, they just scoff like she’s not really worthy of being the All Powerful and can you believe this chick? She walks around like she owns the place but she can’t even save one of her own kind from being perpetually held in Limbo for eternity with possibly thousands of other souls being held captive and suffering unimaginable things. Some Supreme. She can’t possibly think that’s a good reason to not do the test of the Seven Wonders.
Just- it’s really bad. It’s not a good way to even make this lazy writing a passable attempt. Cordelia telling them about how she tried to save Queenie once she found out she was dead in order- this is what I interpreted from that sequence- to help her pass on or come back to life was a great way to show her character. She’s empathetic, she’s protective, she actually cares about the people she’s supposed to be the authority over. And her regret over not being able to save Queenie hurts because she was supposed to watch over her and be able to protect her from something like that, but she couldn’t. And she is heartbroken because people she loves and cares about are casualties of a dangerous world and she’s helpless to stop those casualties. And when she refuses to let Michael do the Seven Wonders, it’s because she doesn’t want an innocent party that is being put on a pedestal to get killed. She fucking says that she doesn’t want to risk him dying and the fuckwads act like that’s a pathetic excuse!!!!! That was so infuriating for me because it was treated like Cordelia was being unreasonable by the characters and Ryan. I mean, in Coven the Seven Wonders was constantly hammered in as dangerous at every level, and as the stakes are raised, the more it’s hammered in, and the more people get hurt. There are actual consequences, and Cordelia witnessed it from the beginning to the end. So she knows that there’s an 87% chance that Michael will die, and she doesn’t want someone else to die in the process that killed her friends. And she gets more and more angry about people talking over her and ignoring all of her very solid arguments against this until she has no choice other than to give into their provocations and get angry, having to firmly shutting it down and ending it before someone gets hurt and when she gets questioned again, she snaps one of the greatest lines in the season and the show: “BECAUSE I’M THE FUCKING SUPREME!” And the men just look at each other like, “I fucking knew this bitch was too scared of being usurped to agree to our very reasonable proposal to take a vulnerable youngster who’s only just started to control his powerful and unstable magic and force him to go through a dangerous test he has a high chance of dying from just to soothe our wounded egos that we’re grooming several impressionable young men to emulate, women are so unreasonable” and I wanted to punch everyone in the face. 
So the thing I mentioned waaaaay earlier in this super-long post: the way Ryan was doing this lessened Michael’s character was done really badly.  Here’s an idea on how to go through a less-sexist conflict between the two covens that actually makes him more powerful:
Michael is powerful- more powerful than they’ve seen. Cheyanne Yoda Jackson still gets to be suspicious, and they are inclined to agree. After some debate, everyone except Warlock Yoda agrees that it’s probably powerful, unstable magic that is being handled by a teen with anger issues and an obvious propensity for violence. They can teach him to handle the magic and maybe to control his emotions. Everything’s the same until they do their tests. It’s still after a month or two, but this time it’s after he’s had time to adjust and had some basic rudimentary training that everyone has when they first start. They explain that everyone is evaluated at the beginning to get a feel for their magic, and Michael already seems to have some control of his powers. Not much, but it’s impressive considering how insane they are. They start with the mirror. He does it, and they share shocked glances. That’s something that a lot of people have trouble with after years of training. So they hesitantly do the teleporting. Flawless passing, more shock. Then they ask him to waterbed snow, and they have their happy moment before they almost freeze to death. They see how freaked out Michael is and tell him that he has super strong magic and when you push yourself like he did, it’ll get a bit out of hand. Just be more careful and they’ll talk about where to put him then get back to him, okay? Then they talk about how freaky it is that he can do this with little training, Magic Yoda is suspicious, they shoot him down with a lot of irony because Antichrist. Then one of them suggests that maybe, just maybe, they might be seeing a Male Supreme. Use the phrase, “Male Supreme”. It’s less stupid and worrying. There’s banter about how there hasn’t been a male version, it’s only been a woman, you know how many powerful Warlocks have died trying to do the Seven Wonders, he can barely control snow, you think he can come back from the dead? But then they agree and call the Council.
Most of the Warlocks’ bitterness towards the Witches stems from two places: 1) Fiona was a bitch and took her Supreme status to exert absolute control of the Council and 2) Cordelia just announced the existence of Mutants Witches and Warlocks without consulting the Council, a decision that they feel should have been unanimous. So there’s some banter about the Seven Wonders and Michael and she doesn’t want to hurt him because of how many powerful Witches and Warlocks have died and he sounds like he’s emotionally and magically unstable and he most likely will die. It also makes more sense for them to be snarky at her because of the above two reasons, and they can invoke Fiona’s name which will make those of us who are familiar with Coven squeal at the mention of Fiona and remember that yeah, that sounds in character, as well as having Cordelia react to the implication that she’s being the same sort of Supreme her mother was. Like, that has waaaaayyyyy less sexism and provides a great conflict between the two schools. It also has a less cliche Chosen One story arc shoved into Michael’s already-established “I’m the Antichrist” story arc and still shows just how powerful and scary he is.
Again, that’s my idea on how it could’ve been better. I just hate that the potential badassery of rivals schools was ignored to have Ryan Murphy pretend to be revolutionary and critical and thinking outside of the box when he’s really condoning a dangerous and sexist narrative that puts characters that are both potentially awesome and badass and established to be awesome and badass into weak storylines that destroy a lot of great character arcs and characteristics of everyone.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I love working with the human body, always have, and I have always been fascinated with the forensic industry. I’ve wanted to do something that makes me happy and does something to get justice for people who have been hurt, and the moment I decided upon this career path I felt like everything finally made sense. A huge weight left my shoulders, that’s for sure.
Which Is Better:
56: Hugs Or Kisses: Hugs! I love hugging. I hug everyone bc I have a lot of platonic love to give every single person. 57: Lips Or Eyes: yo’ peepers! 58: Shorter Or Taller: I’d say similar height or taller because I am incredibly short, but personality is what seals the deal for me in the end. 59: Older Or Younger: about the same age, give or take a year (since my husband is about a year younger than me), or older. I wouldn’t be able to stand someone all that much younger than me if we’re being honest here lmfao 60: Nice Arms Or Nice Stomach: Stomach?????? 61: Hook Up Or Relationship: Relationship, for the other person’s sake. I’m too much of a goof for hooking up and I’d make someone feel insecure for cracking a joke in the middle of some sort of sexual encounter. It is literally impossible for me to take sex seriously. Also, I just prefer the companionship part of relationships over the physical. 62: Troublemaker Or Hesitant: Troublemaker, but not like... a felon or anything. Just goofy, without shame, and kind of annoying. Like me. But being reasonable when appropriate is important, too.
Have You Ever:
63: Kissed A Stranger: Yeahhhhhhh, immediate regret (cigarette mouth!). 64: Drank Hard Liquor: ya 65: Lost Glasses/Contact Lenses: every gd day dawg. and it’s partially because in order to find my glasses I need my glasses to see them. 66: Turned Someone Down: hoooooooo boy, yes, yes, yes. 68: Broken Someones Heart: HOOOOOOOOO boy, yes. I was always caught off guard by it, because I never see someone as potential relationship material, but always as bff material, until they make it explicitly clear. It just wouldn’t feel right to assume they may have a thing for me. So, most of my friends in life have been guys, and I have had to deal with a lot of uncomfortable confessions and rejection from said pals. I hate hurting people, and they’re often very hurt by my rejection, and I end up losing friends over it. I don’t even like thinking about it lol. 69: Had Your Heart Broken: Yup! Abusively and tragically. Some Carrie shit, haha. It doesn’t impact me now, except for making me angry. 70: Been Arrested: I’m a straight edge dude. 71: Cried When Someone Died: Duh 72: Fallen For A Friend: I can’t fall for someone unless we are friends, so yes! Brendan was my BFF for a while until he told my oblivious ass he wanted to date me.
Do You Believe In:
73: Yourself: Yes! The only person you can always depend upon, no matter what, is yourself. 74: Miracles: hmmmm, maybe. I’ll say yes, but my skeptical mind will always question. 75: Love At First Sight: Attraction at first sight, maybe. I believe in friendship at first sight, if we’re being honest. I see someone and just get this feeling that we could be awesome friends. Love is something much more deep rooted for me. 76: Santa Claus: I believe in My Dad 78: Angels: I’m not sure. I’m open to the possibility, due to the limitations set by existing as a human, but I’m not Christian or anything. I feel like there’s “something” out there, but I’m just a dumb human and will likely never be able to know for sure. I think human beings can be deemed angels.
Other:
79: Current Best Friend’s Name: Casi/Stephanie (I love them both so much my dudes). 80: Eye Color: Green/Hazel (more green than hazel tho-- it’s really cool because i have a fleck of gold in one of my irises, and my grandma has the same fleck of gold) 81: Favorite Movie: I couldn’t narrow it down to one. I love the LOTR movies, The Sixth Sense, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spirited Away, Saving Private Ryan...... the list goes on forever. My family has always been a big movie family.
im not tagging anyone lol
