#did colton really see Liam?
Text
well now that it's been a couple days since i watched the teen wolf movie and i've sufficiently forgotten 90% of it, i think it's time i told you all what i liked/disliked about it
1. jackson whittemore
he was just so fucking funny, like why was he even there?? did they give colton a script or did they just give him a recap of everything he missed in the show before simply throwing him on set and going "good luck."
i loved him though. it really feels like he's more comfortable in himself now. when he came back in s6, he wasn't as bitter but he still felt quite stiff. now he's comfortable in his sexuality and his place in the world, and he's no longer trying too hard. love that for him. his friendship with lydia also means a lot to me. i originally thought they were gonna put them back together, but i adore them as snarky besties.
also i'm glad they didn't break him and ethan up. we got our lgbtq+ scraps, guys!!
2. peter hale
hasn't changed a bit and i love it. his entrance was iconic and so fitting for his character. the tension between him and chris was obvious (perhaps because of melissa?) and i love how they still have an air of mystery when it comes to him. no one truly knows if he's on the good side or the bad.
also i can confidently say that peter crawling on the floor in human form, sniffing, was the absolute highlight of the movie.
3. eli hale
he was a great addition to the cast. i loved his relationship with derek, but him as a character really refreshed the film and gave us some wholesome but funny moments.
also we all know he's basically a stiles mini-me, so it was nice to have someone there to fill what the film would've been missing because of stiles' absense without full-out replacing him.
4. jr borne
his acting in the movie was absolutely outstanding. i was in shock. he was already amazing in the show but he's outdone himself. i really felt his emotions through the screen. literal chills. what a powerful performance!
5. the hellhound
i'm so glad they gave parrish an important role in the film. the hellhound was one of my favourite supernatural creatures from the show, so it was great to see ryan kelley shine once more.
6. coach finstock
he also has not changed a single bit and it's really refreshing to see. they didn't try to shoehorn him into the story too much. he simply played the part he always has, and made us laugh doing it.
7. the jeep
when they said the jeep would be featured in the film, i didn't think they meant they would try and stick it in every scene possible. i love it.
as a sterek shipper, i love the idea of eli nicking the jeep because he knows derek has some complicated feelings towards it. i won't do a sterek section on this list because i don't know whether i'm happy or mad about it, but this was an interesting addition to the film.
8. melissa had a crossbow
she had a crossbow. it's about fucking time.
now what i disliked:
1. the misuse of key characters
why were liam and mason used as side characters?? why did they barely speak, they're best friends?? why did they introduce hikari and not bother actually giving her a personality outside of being a kitsune?? i have too many thoughts on all of this, but it pissed me off.
2. just general confusion
they didn't specify if melissa and chris were still together or not. no explanation on why scott and malia split up. how did parrish and malia get together? who is eli's mum? why did liam have the nogitsune? why did scott and allison adopt eli?
also where has all the chemistry between the cast gone?? shelley especially felt so awkward with everyone. it's like they're not friends anymore, which i know isn't true.
3. the nudity and swearing
i could've gone my whole life without seeing allison, parrish and malia's bare asses. also the swearing was great, but they all felt like year 7's when they did it.
4. the returns
as someone who didn't really care for allison, her return was just annoying. out of all the characters they could've brought back, allison is the one they definitely should've left alone. hers was a major death in the show, and the start of a lot of character development for scott and chris. they should've come up with a different story not involving allison or the nogitsune. you know they only brought her back so that scallison fans can have their endgame.
and adrian harris?? what?? why?? he didn't even do anything of purpose in the film. what was the actual point in bringing him back??
5. derek's death
i'm not even gonna touch this. but i'm fuming.

It'll Be Okay
Relationships: Cassie Perez & Cordell Walker, August Walker & Cordell Walker & Stella Walker, Colton Davidson/Stella Walker
Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe- Canon Divergence, Episode: s02e18 Search and Rescue, Gunshot Wounds, Hospitals, Surgery, Guilt, Feels, Angst, Hurt/Comfort
Summary: Because there's no way that little trailer got pelted with bullets and the only thing that got hit was Cordell's hat
A/N: Fic finally brought to you by people voting for it during my polls :)
Taglist (if you would like to be added let me know): @theladywyn, @ihavepointysticks, @klaatu51, @neptunium134, @itsjessiegirl1
----
Liam’s phone rang on his way back after his talk with Dan. “Hello?”
“Finally you pick up!” James’ frustration was palpable over the line. “Where the hell have y’all been? I’ve been trying to get you on the phone for hours!”
Well, that couldn’t be good. “Woah, sorry, we were at the nature park trying to find Stella and August. Cell service was really bad out there. What’s going on?”
“I- Look, there’s a lot to explain but the basic story is we were checking up on a lead and we got ambushed. Walker got hit with a few bullets and it’s not looking good. They’ve got him in the ICU right now.. He’s alive and stable but he’s not out of the woods yet. Get here now.” He rattled off the address and Liam made a note in his phone before his brain had time to catch up with what he’d just heard. 
Well fuck. Looks like the family wasn’t done for the night.
—------------------
Cordell was sedated and put on a ventilator to give his body time to recover. He’d undergone surgery to remove the bullets and patch the wounds. It wasn’t the first time his family had seen him like this but, with Emily’s death only two years prior, it wasn’t easy to see. 
Three bullet wounds. Major blood loss. Internal bleeding. Minor organ damage. 3 hours in surgery. The surgery had gone as well as could be expected and the doctors were optimistic but stressed that the next few hours would be critical. It was very much still a situation of if he would be okay rather than when. 
Unlike the Walkers, Cassie had other things to occupy herself with than just her partner’s survival. “Why wasn’t I called sooner?” she demanded from James. “He’s my damn partner; if something goes down, I need to know!”
He sighed and rubbed his temple with the hand that wasn’t caught in a sling. “Perez, we were investigating a lead. It was my lead and I asked Walker to accompany me. We didn’t need you there and frankly I’m glad you weren’t. As for why I didn’t call you after he was shot, I was a little preoccupied with figuring out why all the Walkers and our DA had suddenly gone AWOL. I’m not proud of it but I meant no slight against you. Besides, there’s something else you need to know.” He explained the phone call with Rita that set them on the investigation in the first place. “We weren’t sure what to expect and I didn’t want to give you any false hope so we kept you out of the loop. We did end up finding something before we got ambushed though.” He gestured behind her and a very familiar face stepped into their small waiting room.
“Miles?”
—---------------------------------
After an hour of sitting in Dad’s room in the ICU with no updates, Stella got antsy and decided to get up for some of the “coffee” they had in the waiting room. She didn’t have her wallet or she might’ve gone to the cafeteria to get a real drink or something to eat, not that she felt like eating anything. She just couldn’t stand to wait there any longer.
Her dad was strong and he’d been in these situations before. But after losing Mom two years ago and almost losing Colton earlier today, she was all too aware of all the potential outcomes, especially the bad ones.
She found a coffee station, poured herself a cup, and blindly walked around as a distraction. She’d been in hospitals many times before (she was pretty sure she was a frequent flier at this location in particular) but she never got used to how quiet they could be. It was one thing in an emergency, when everyone was running around and machines were going off and the air was charged with knowing that something was happening. But those brief moments weren’t the norm.
Hospitals were a dreadful place of quiet. It was a place where grieving family members said goodbye to their loved ones. It was a place where people sat, chained to their beds, knowing there was nothing to be done but wait for the all-clear. It was a place where medical debt was handed out like candy, killing any happiness someone might’ve had from knowing their mother or father or sister or son wasn’t dead after all. For every happy recovery story, there were at least five tales of woe.
She hated hospitals.
“Stella?”
A voice startled her from her thoughts and she turned to see Dan Miller poking his head out of one of the rooms. “Oh, hi Mr. Miller….”
“Call me Dan. What’re you doing here? Did you come to check on Colton?”
She bit her tongue to keep from snapping at him that his family wasn’t the center of the damn universe.. He probably just didn’t know and it’s not like that was a crazy assumption to make. “Uh, not. I’m…. I’m here for my dad. He got shot on a case and we’re all worried…..”
Dan blanched and he sheepishly glanced away. “I’m sorry to hear that.”
“It’s okay,” she said reflexively. “How is Colton, by the way?”
“On the mend. The doctor says he can probably go home tomorrow, they just want to keep an eye on him overnight.”
“That’s good.” At least someone was making it out of this alive. “I’m sorry about everything. I should’ve had my phone charged better and I’m the one that decided to change trails without even telling August-”
“It’s okay,” Dan said. “I know today was hectic but…. It could’ve been a lot worse. And it wasn’t. Because you stepped up.”
She nodded and pretended to take the compliment. “I try. Do… Do you mind if I visit Colton? We’re just waiting to hear about Dad and….” And I need something to do or I’m going to lose my mind.
“Uh, yeah, he’s just down the hall. Room 232.”
She nodded and walked past him towards the room. She hesitated outside the door before going in. She didn’t want to bother Colton but she had to see for herself that he was okay. She softly knocked on the door as she entered. “Hey….”
Colton looked up from his phone and smiled at her. “Hey. I didn’t think you were coming to visit me tonight.”
“I wasn’t,” she admitted. “My dad is in right now. I’m just… Trying to kill time while we wait for news.”
“What happened?”
She fiddled with her empty coffee cup. “He got shot. Not our first time dealing with that. The doctors think he’ll be okay but we’re still waiting on confirmation.”
“I’m sorry,” Colton said, reaching for her hand.
She took it and sat in the chair next to his bed. “Thanks,” she murmured. “He’ll probably be fine but…. I worry about him. It’s like every time this happens I wonder if this is going to be it. If this is going to be the time he got too unlucky….” She shook her head. “I’m sorry, you don’t need to hear all this.”
“I want to,” he said gently. “I can’t imagine how scary that is, even if you’ve been here before.”
She felt a smile tugging at her lips. “I appreciate that, but I did come here to check on you. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Doctor says I can leave tomorrow. You did a good job earlier.”
“I try.” She squeezed his hand. “I know that wasn’t an ideal first date….”
“Maybe not. But it was a memorable one.” He chuckled and she couldn’t help but laugh with him.
—----
It wasn’t until the next day that the doctor’s declared Cordell was out of the woods and on the road to recovery. “You’re very lucky,” they told him after the breathing tube was removed. “We’ll have you out of here in a few days but no going back into the office for at least three weeks. And even then I’m going to recommend desk work only for a while.”
For once, he wasn’t going to argue. This whole mess had been a little too close. With everything going on, he wasn’t going to say no to a little family time. He knew his kids needed to hug him and his mother needed to fuss over him. He got lucky and if the past couple years had taught him anything, it was to not press that luck too far.
They moved him out of the ICU and into a normal room for the duration of his stay. His family was there as soon as visiting hours started. The kids got first hugs and he bit down the grunt of pain when Stella hugged him a little too close to one of the bullet wounds. He just thanked anyone who would listen that he could hug them again. He listened to the story of what happened at the nature park before they got called to the hospital and sent out another “thanks” that his family was still intact.
His parents came in next, followed by Liam. “How are you feeling, baby?” Abilene asked, brushing a few imaginary hairs out of his face.
“Like I got shot,” he muttered. “I’m fine, Mama. Really.”
“Sure you are.”
“What happened?” Liam asked.
“I was checking up on a lead with James and we got ambushed. Guess it was a better lead than we thought,” he tried to joke. “We weren’t prepared for it. Honestly, it could’ve been worse. I’m just glad we can start moving forward.”
“You mean James can start moving forward,” Abby said. “You are resting until the doctor clears you to get back to work.”
“Yes, Mama.”
—---
He could tell something was bothering Cassie from the minute she walked in, as much as she tried to hide it. He may be new to being her partner, but he knew her well enough to know where her thoughts were.
“Don’t do that.”
“Do what?”
“Blame yourself for this.”
“I-”
“Cassie….” Cordell squeezed her hand. “I know you are. You’re doing that thing where you’re trying not to look at me and pretending you’re fine.”
She sighed. “I just…. It’s my fault you were there in the first place.”
“It’s not,” he said firmly. “The whole operation was James’ idea and neither of us expected that attack. We didn’t even know if there was anything to the lead. It’s absolutely not your fault.”
“I know that,” she said quietly. “But…. This is my thing. I should’ve been there.”
“Maybe,” Cordell said. “But you weren’t. And that wouldn’t’ve changed what happened. I’d probably still be in this hospital bed and you’d probably be in one of your own and then we’d be arguing with you about how much work you’re allowed to do on Miles’ case while you heal.”
“Walker-”
“My point is,” he continued, squeezing her hand again, “This isn’t your fault. There’s nothing for you to feel bad about. It happened, it sucks, but we can’t change it. I’m on the mend and in a few weeks I’ll be back in the office like nothing happened. In the meantime, you’re going to do your job and save your former partner from whatever mess he got himself into. Okay?”
Cassie nodded, squeezing back. “Yeah. I can do that.”
“Damn right you can.”

f***ing j*ff davis, just because you jumped 15 years after the series ended, doesn't mean the story isn't the same.
like, scallison again? what will happen? will allison die in scott's arms again? because they came to an amicable end and still had a partnership and friendship with each other despite the end of their relationship.
what happened to kira that scott loved so much? and malia, who developed a relationship with scott towards the end of the series? are you serious that malia and parrish is a thing? why? where did that come from?
jackson and lydia? first off, since when is jackson part of scott's pack? what are we going to see now? jackson and lydia being colton and holland, all friends, and just let it go that jackson was abusive to lydia, humiliated her and treated her super badly during season one and two?
did derek really need a child? and it's not from braeden, is it? whose is it, then? kate's? this is an insult to derek's healthy and deserved arc at the end of season four.
did this new girl, hikari, have to be liam's girlfriend? couldn't we have a nice badass single girl in this universe? jesus. she's already shadowed as liam's girlfriend and the movie isn't even out yet; which was the same thing that happened to hayden before. a nice girl, with potential, who ended up becoming scott's beta, only served to make kissing scenes with liam or to bridge events that had nothing to do with her.
and also, scott and liam are different people. and i hate that they keep forcing liam as a 2.0 version of scott. scott's first love dying in his arms. liam's first love dying in his arms. scott dating a kitsune. liam dating a kitsune. do they have similarities because of the werewolf thing? yeah. but they are not the same person.
why is mason a cop? they needed to fill stiles' space so much that they used mason for that?
that's it? the same thing? why not bring kate back then? she didn't die at the end of 6b, did she? there. kate and the berserkers. the dread doctors are gone? since everyone can revive, why not revive them too? let's bring evil theo back and spoil his redemption arc. the ghost riders and another war (assuming the whole thing with the hunters and monroe has been resolved).
if so, the next movies are already done.

WALKER 3x01 World on a String
Just a teensy weensy little heads up that I REALLY really hate the main villain in this episode and I kinda mention it A LOT.
I think the entire Walker fam were well-cast from a family likeness standpoint, but it’s pretty cool how their mannerisms overlap, too. When they first leave him alone in the cell, Cordell does this mouth twisting thing that I’ve seen Bonham do when he’s upset.
I’m gonna need some backstory on the bowl cut-sporting doughboy-in-chief here, because for all that he seems underwhelmed by Cordell, I’m pretty underwhelmed by him. (Then again, he’s got the martial arts beefcake to do his bidding, so who needs P90X?)
Did—did Cordell just nickname his captor “Neo”? Was that a Matrix reference?
For once Stella’s dramatics are useful! YES LET’S ALL WORK TOGETHER AND LOOK FOR DAD FFS
Hi Emily :(
Well, it’s not the world, but it is on a string...
All that drama about the knots is great but HOW ABOUT YOU UNFOLD THE BIRD, GENIUS
Bad timing I know [much like that random mention of Colton and Geri] but wouldn’t it be a hilarious twist if Geri and Dan get together?
AUGIEEEEE :(
LOL when your fellow captive tells you to be quiet... (I can relate to the thinking out loud thing though, tbh.)
LMFAO no way was that dude tall enough to cuff Cordell to the ceiling of the cage, no wonder the camera work is so quick!
Oh look here comes Chuck Norris’s chubby emo nephew again [no offense, Mr. Norris, I'm just noting a passing facial resemblance...]
[Commercial break time: I hate the DCEU and most comics movies have been ruined for me by the devolving debacle that is the MCU but I would watch Black Adam for a) The Rock b) seeing The Rock clap his hands and make all the other characters go awaaaaaaaaaay]
Ben Perez is really, really growing on me. Supportive, vulnerable, a nervous talker like his sister, adorable and clearly also a bit smitten...
Poor Liam has always been this anxious ball of nerves, hasn't he?
LOL emo guy’s name looked like “Sam” for a minute, that’s funny to me. I have SPN brain damage!
Sean is in Sheet Metal, huh? That’s….creative. 😐
Abby is not my favorite character, and I’ve made no secret of that, but this is probably the most vulnerable I have ever seen her and…I feel it. The way you can really see the history between the family and Larry in this one little exchange is so :(
How the HELL far ahead was Cordell that Trey and Liam didn’t hear a literal gunshot? We got Quicksilver on our hands here!
Reporters in Walkerverse!Austin do NOT have a high survival rate, it seems 😐
I realize I’m starting to harp a little here, but I just could take this Sean idiot a LOT more seriously without the bowl cut, is all I’m saying.
“Look at me” dude you’re like two feet shorter than him this isn’t an ergonomically safe scenario maybe you should come in with a stepladder next time?
Martial arts beefcake is Neo, maybe Bowl Cut can be Napoleon?
You know, if they keep up all this shock business, they might just like. Stop his heart. And that wouldn’t really accomplish anything, now would it, supervillains? Hmm?
So I could be very wrong, but what I’m getting is this is less about Walker and more about Cassie. Think about it—Fenton, Miles, Walker her new partner, the stupid recon date, the little potential clue that is the bag of nuts…
“I mean, can we just say it?” I mean I was hoping you wouldn’t actually
“The selfish hero” that is so…articulate
I have watched this three times now and I legit think Cassie’s in a confessional every time.
OMG CASSIE IS SO CUTE I JUST WANNA ASDFGHJKLKJHGFDSA
Oh, shut up, Ominous Air Duct.
You know, I still can’t read anything on that wall besides the word “Rainbow.” Anyone else have better luck?
[Did anyone else have that absolutely bizarre London commercial? WTF was that?]
That is not a cookie that is a fucking CAKE my dude. (Not a criticism!)
Geri’s eyebrows when Colton says he’s staying LMFAOOOOOOOO me too gurl LEAVE SOME ROOM FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU KIDS!
Trey and Sam Winchester would get along very well, I think.
Side note: I want Trey’s apartment.
WAS NO ONE WATCHING LIAM WHAT THE FUCK HOW THE FUCK ARE THE COPS IN ON IT I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER J;AF;KDJFHA;LGH;AAHAHHGHGHAHHHH
Be sure to tune in next week for my completely normal synopsis of episode 2!

Welcome to my ✨️unwanted✨️ Teen Wolf opinions (ship edition)
Top 10 worst (cannon) ships
10. Stiles X Malia
While I love all Stiles based ships this one is one of my least favorite cannon ships. Mainly because he was still in love with Lydia. They had deserved better. Especially when they ended things. It sucked the way it ended.
Tumblr media
9. Scott x Lydia
While extremely brief i will count it as cannon. Not the worst combination but I'm very much a Skira fan. I actually very much love this ship. But cannon did it poorly. They just wanted tension between Scott and Stiles and Stiles and Lydia.
Tumblr media
8. Jackson X Lydia
I genuinely believe that they were in love. I have a soft sport for both of them. But Jackson sucked for the first two seasons. I really wished Colton had been able to stay on the show longer. I KNOW the character development would have been immaculate. I love them but both as individuals. Them together is kinda toxic tho.
Tumblr media
7. Jackson X Ethan
I feel cheated with this one. Everything happened off screen. You didn't get to see them even meet. I love the buildup most of all. I wish we had gotten to see more of Jackson. He was always one of my favorites.
Tumblr media
6. Liam X Hayden
I didn't like Hayden. She didn't do anything wrong but it was one of those characters that came off as boring for me. It was hard to feel anything for them.
Tumblr media
5. Peter X Melissa
Technically this was only a super brief date but I'll count it. I feel like there's much better companions for each of them. But they really could have played on it more. It would have been hilarious to have Peter and Scott fighting while Peter dates his mother. But ultimately didn't like them.
Tumblr media
4. Chris X Melissa
I DONT LIKE IT. She deserved to be with the Sheriff. It was perfect friends to lovers. And it would have felt more full circle. Scott and Stiles finally brothers like they've always been. But instead they chose to make Scott's mom date his dead ex's dad. It's a little too weird.
Tumblr media
3. Derek X Julia
Derek makes bad choices. We know this. He really needs to unpack his trauma. :(
Tumblr media
2. Derek X Kate
This is not Derek's bad choice. It was Kate being manipulative and Derek's youth. But still my second most hated.
Tumblr media
1. Scott X Malia
Now this is debatable. But this is the worst thing they've ever tried to give us. They had no chemistry. They didn't want to leave Scott without a romantic interest or "happy ending" so they shoved Malia and him together. Good in theory but it just felt so stiff. They were better as friends.

Watched the new Walker first thing today. Basically I was mentally yelling at everybody except Mawline this ep.
* I'm really glad to see mawline angry with bonham for telling cordell to move out, cuz wtf. She TOLD him to live there. What about family? I hate when families leave the homestead for no goddamn reason. I hated it on og Charmed and I'll hate it here if they push it through. Bonham needs smacked upside the head.
* why the fuck is cordell so goddamn trusting? This drives me crazy so often but especially rn wtf. She's a REPORTER, Cordi. Can you keep some shit close to the chest? Why is *she* trustworthy???
* there had better be something undercover going on with this trey situation or I'm gonna start BITING after all that "this is where you're supposed to be" (also the whole "had to fight hard for this so don't blow it" and the fact a new black ranger is the one to lose his job on his first fucking dps hearing ever). But im not sure, this could be for real real. Trey did get warned twice about following the orders he was actually given and following CHAIN OF COMMAND
* Liam, you are a lawyer, why do you seem so fucking stupid about legally binding decisions lately?? You're gonna ruin stella's life making her sign on as partner at 18 when you didn't even figure this shit out before getting the fucking charity label!!
* Stella, you need to talk to some DIFFERENT ADULTS ASAP
* i am sus af of julia and kevin
* julia is either in on something or just plain reckless and gonna get cordi in big trouble
* actual "romance" storylines (people becoming couples or shippy and the dynamic changing, rather than building up unspoken tension) really squick me out, and i wasn't fully aware HOW MUCH lately because spn (and merlin, to some degree) catered directly to me. Or maybe the quickness and lack of buildup is the real issue for me. I have no feelings there. It feels like when kids would couple up on recess in elementary school. kevin/cassie was fine cuz I'm sus of him, but im really glad she put her foot down this ep. Stella/colton was cute until it happened. I saw comments about cordell/julia somewhere and gagged cuz it's a possibility with this show! She's pretty, but i don't care!! That's not what i require to care. Meh. At least she's not Geri. I will never get my cordri feelings back because they opened the oven too soon and the souffle of tension deflated so much it sunk in and made a hole
* I'm sus of the whole damn squad and im even sus cordell's mentor isn't dead
* i would really appreciate it if cassie would stop talking rangers into problematic decisions. she doesn't have to stop trying, but it's getting frustrating that NO ONE has conviction to follow orders they've been given for a reason
* idr what else i was gonna say. I need the next ep right now.

Walker 2.18
I don't really have a lot to say about this episode because to be honest I didn't like it, I found it very plot convinient (for example Stella having experience hiking but her phone not being charged and not having a battery pack with her, and not seeing if Colton's phone had battery/signal); the storyline idea of the kids getting hurt while hiking was good it's just the execution wasn't, and might sound a little mean, but it also wasn't to the standard I'm used to because this is a type of storyline I've seen many times before and done way better.
That being said, to be completely fair to the show if memory serves correct this ep was being filmed when Jared had his accident so I understand that probably affected things and they just did the best they could, and there were elements I enjoyed like the song during the rescue was an excellent choice, I'm curious to see what's gonna happen now that Cassie's old partner Miles is back, and the two twists at the end took me by surprise.
I knew the Davidson's had cheated on the race, I just wasn't expecting it to have been Denise! And I sure as hell was not thinking that Dan of all people would end up getting redemption(!) by going to the Walker fam, telling them the truth the moment he found out and saying he would help them. I owe you an apology Dan, I would have bet money you were the cheater.
And since I'm already here and sorta rambling, I'm gonna go ahead and mention that Dan and Liam have a conversation about how they were never meant to be friends and I'm just gonna say it, it's a shame that this show didn't explore an enemies to friends to lovers storyline with these two.

Walker Finale, 12ish hours removed
(I've had a lot of time to think so...)
Cordi being a goofy dad, you love to see it
Do NOT like the Serano mention, nope nope, hard nope.
Cordi and Geri fake fight was genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever watched for no reason. Geniuses
But Cordi's emotion even as Geri drove off with Gale, oof
Geri calling Gale (and Marv) mom (and dad) *ick*
Cassie moving into Trey's building and immediately messing with him with the music, she's my best friend actually
Immediately didn't trust that date of Cassie's
Cordi telling Geri to go to the scene of the crime like he did with Stan, I love this duo so much
Though I might have been preemptive in giving them otp status. I absolutely would not be mad if they end up together but they're such a great brotp too. And I'm very in my Emily feelings lately
Geri is frighteningly good at this act though
SHE DID IT BABIE
At least she knows Frank wasn't the killer now....? That's something right?
Cordell Walker, everybody
Denise confessing after she realized it was never the fault of any Walker. Still hate her but hey they're getting their home back!!!
Abby and Bonham literally the cutest grandparents to ever exist
Cordi and Stella heart to heart full circle with that board game, love to see it
Stella isn't going anywhere, though
Liam wanting to work the ranch, love to see it
Jared Padalecki once again stealing my heart
THAT ENDING WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME
Ok ok, real talk, thoughts for what that means
Stella isn't going anywhere, not with her father in the wind
We're increasing the likelihood of Trey becoming a ranger, they're gonna need all hands on deck to find Cordi, and he'll want to help, it's in his blood
Probably some new bitch DA cause I hope Denise will not keep her job
Dan and Colton can stay though. And Jared's already said they've got some story left. So that's neat
I'm still very confused about how Cassie is going to be connected to the Cordi situation but hey
Also off topic but how the hell did they subdue Cordell? The man was already sprinting along, he's a trained fighter, I hate this
Guess they coulda tased him.... or something

Please tell us your opinion on Walker 2x09! Im glad Walker is finally getting to show how badass he is with action scenes and also smart because he figured out who was Liam's secret client. I feel like we didnt get to see that enough in season 1 but the show seems more well-balanced now. Thoughts ?
I really enjoyed it: fast paced with breaks just long enough for character depths, and unexpected but inevitable twists and turns in the end.  Nothing can top the feel of last season’s reveal that Trevor is Clint Strand’s son, but the title “Sucker Punch” lives up its name for the characters.
Serano is released on bail and he waste no time antagonizing Cordell and getting rid of loose ends that could tie him to his attempt murder of Cordell. That loose end is Dan Miller, who runs to Liam for legal anonymity protection in exchange for evidence against Serano. Liam reluctantly agrees to help his antagonist because Serano is a direct threat against his family.  Dan's identity will only be known to Liam and the judge.
James and Cordell are quick to agree to the deal, and D.A Denise (Dan's own wife) eventually agrees. But before the ink is dry, Dan is intimidated by Serano and he calls Liam saying the deal is off. Cordell saw from Liam's composure on the phone that the deal against Serano is falling apart.  Cordell takes immediate action to head off the fallout despite having no concrete evidence on who the secret client is, but he already figured it out beforehand.
Cordell knows his brother well enough that he would only take clients he believes are innocent. But during the deal making process, Cordell could tell Liam did not believe his secret client is innocent nor did he like said client. The only person that Liam despised and was hell bent on trying to convince Cordell for the past month was guilty is Dan Miller.
Running Dan's plates, Cordell tracked him to the train station where he attempts to make his own deal with Serano. The sight of Texas Rangers caused Serano's men to panic and him taking a hostage.  In the mayhem, Dan hides and flee with the crowd while Serano attempt to escape. A car chase led to Serano's death, much to Cordell's dismay.
Dan still gets his legal immunity from Liam in exchange for the video surveillance evidence that will bring down Serano's criminal network. Liam and Dan waste no time re-committing their hatred of each other out of loyalty to their own families. To their credit they're trying very hard not to pass their animosity to the next generation: Dan buys concert tickets for his son, Colton, to take Stella on a date, and August and Colton form a band together to impress girls.
While enjoying family time watching August and Colton’s band perform at the Side Step, Cordell clued Denise in that her husband is Liam’s secret client who had Serano’s surveillance tapes.  When Denise reviewed the tapes, she finds Cordell’s confession blaming himself for the barn fire that killed her father.  Sucker punched indeed.
We’ve seen Cordell’s badass fight scenes last season, though not enough.  We get hints to Cordell intelligence that gets largely suppressed because others want him to “reform” and be by the book.  At the start of the episode, Cordell is reminded by Denise to go strictly by the book, but as we’ve seen last season it’s when Cordell goes by his instinct and kick the 2.0 version of himself to the curb that he gets things done.   After the last episode when James and Cordell talked about getting things done by doing the right thing regardless of protocol, James trust Cordell’s instinct and provide tactical team for back up despite the lack of by-the-book evidence on Cordell’s part.
I think Cordell was the only character who wasn’t “sucker punched” by its title.

Ok this is gonna be long. I’ve literally been slowly working on this for… too long. I’m just in a mood to have a long discussion about ships. I’ll be looking at canon and not, so bare with me. I don’t ship all of these personally. I’m mostly just picking the most popular ones. I chose to leave out a few that I just don’t want to talk about. I tried to keep this loosely chronological, but that quickly went to hell. None of this is meant to be hate towards anyone’s ship, just my personal opinions on each of them.
Tumblr media
Canon:
Scott x Allison: True Classic
Scallison is so sweet as it is truly the epitome of young love. Romeo and Juliet, except Romeo is even more of an idiot and Juliet is a badass who dies for a cause. They’re moral and ethical codes are both highly valued by themselves, even if they don’t align with others very often. They loved with everything they had. They were beautiful. We’re they soulmates in the end, or just the first love who will always hold a special place in your heart? Who knows, but I’ll always love these immature kids who thought their love could change everything.
Stiles x Lydia: The Long Awaited
Stydia is as slow burn as you can get. Unfortunately their actual getting together was slightly rushed in my opinion. They didn’t have time to find their own as a couple because Stiles just wasn’t in the show enough at that point. I know the reasons behind it, but it did leave this couple at an awkward stage of official-but-not-shown. The idea that Stiles loved her as a kid, immature and infatuated, and he saw her for who she really was, will always be cute. Then they grew, changed, became friends, and found other people. Them finding each other later on, having real love that’s developed slowly, is a wonderful arc. Though, a part of me will always believe they should have pursued other story lines in the wake of Stiles’ absence from the plot. They’re finally together! …but we don’t get to see it.
Jackson x Lydia: The Image
Oh Jackson and Lydia. Honestly, I love them. Their connection at a time in their lives when they couldn’t open up to anyone else, just hits me right in the feels. I mean, god that HUG. You know the one. Always brings me to tears. I’m so sad their relationship was almost entirely depicted during Jackson’s kanima time when he couldn’t think nor truly act for himself. Those small moments of scared vulnerability when he wanted to protect her from himself… I’ll miss these two. They deserved to find other people and remain life-long friends. I loved their moment in the last episode. I wish they’d gotten to see each other grow. Also they had such bixbi solidarity vibes, and I’ll die on that hill.
Scott x Lydia: Leaders
Ok, I’m gonna be honest here. I ship it. The power couple they would have been?? Also them coming together after they lost Allison would have actually made sense. A part of me kinda wishes the writers had moved on from Stydia as a romantic relationship and leaned into them growing as friends and Stiles moving on from his childhood crush. Scott and Lydia actually would have had good chemistry. They were both very headstrong heroic types, but Lydia would have balanced Scott out well intellectually. They had the history, and I think it could had worked if they wrote it right. Plus, Scott and Lydia would have been a better endgame that Scalia.
Scott x Kira: New Beginnings
These two were adorable. Kira was a badass, don’t get me wrong, but she let herself be soft in a way Allison was always afraid to. This couple was truly Baby. Absolute dorks. I can definitely see the lasting quality between the two of them. They saw things very similarly, and had a ton in common. I do think Kira deserves more characterization outside of their relationship, like more of her friendship with Malia. Overall, her departure from the show will always be sad to me. It was bad writing. Scott was over her far too quickly.
Aiden x Lydia: Pretty People Herd
I honestly didn’t see much between these two other than mutual attraction. The best thing to come out of this relationship was Lydia’s line, “You’re not just a bad boy, Aiden. You’re a bad guy. And I don’t want to be with the bad guys.” Good character development moment.
Ethan x Danny: Step to Redemption
Danny really was the thing that made Ethan look outside of the pack for what he really wanted out of life. They had a few cute scenes. Gotta love Danny’s final remarks, “Dude, it’s Beacon Hills.”
Allison x Isaac: Unexpected Rebound
Ok, I like these two. Isaac could match Allison’s snark in a way Scott couldn’t. They both fought the progression of the relationship slightly. They didn’t expect to fall for each other. They were less willing to let someone in close. I’d love to have seen more… but unfortunately their time was limited. On a side note, sometimes their relationship did feel like ‘we both are in love with the same guy, let’s cope with each other’, but I find that completely valid. I’ll talk about Scallisaac later though.
Stiles x Malia: Anchors
Ok but, them <3 I love what they did for each other. Stiles was able to help Malia connect to her humanity and other people. He never tried to isolate her in their relationship and encouraged her growth. Malia offered Stiles the emotional support he never asked for. She defended him, fought for him, and loved him fiercely. Stiles needed that so much after season 3. I think they were a love that wasn’t meant to last, but the impact of it was forever. I wish we’d gotten to see a real end for them where they agreed that they needed to grow as individuals but would always still care.
Liam x Hayden: Three’s a Pattern
These two’s characterization stopped whenever they had storylines together. Their relationship was built on Scallison references. Hayden’s character could have been interesting, but they never really gave her a moment to shine. Liam has the worst plots when they revolved around her. Cute couple, poor writing.
Derek x Braeden: Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl Boss
Derek deserves to be happy so much. Kate and Jennifer were just... jeez. Him and Braeden were cute and deserved more screen time. I think her intensity allowed for Derek to let go of control a bit more comfortably. Let Derek Be Soft. Anyway, love them.
Corey x Mason: Gotta Have That Rep TM
These two could have been cute if they were shown for more than two seconds at a time. I highkey forget Corey even existed all the time. Kinda just felt like a relationship to fill TW’s gay quota.
Jackson x Ethan: The Callback
Honestly? Loved them. Loved the chemistry. Loved the dynamic. Best twist. I know it was probably written in like that because Colton came out during his time away from the show, but it absolutely fit his character. Jethan is top tier.
Melissa x Chris: BAMF Parent Duo
Ok, so like, Melissa deserved this plot. She deserved someone to care about her. However... what the hell? Chris? In canon, his wife died like 2-ish years prior? His daughter died 1 year prior?? Is Chris really in a position to pursue a new relationship?? Also, like, Scott and Allison dated and loved each other up to her death. Kinda weird to have their parents hook up. I don’t hate it, but I don’t ship it…?
Scott x Malia: Lead up? What’s lead up?
These two came out of nowhere I stg. Like, 6B really tried to tell us this was something that had been slowly developing in the background? Also, I understand that they are their own people, adults, and completely in charge of their own romantic pursuits: but did Scott seriously never call Stiles? Like, Malia wasn’t just his first girlfriend. She was his first. Like, dude that’s your best friend?? Not even a head’s up? No, ‘hey would this bother you?’ Oof. Plus Malia was way too chaotic for Scott. She existed in gray morality that always prioritized her immediate circle, and Scott was a very black/white type of heroism. I just didn’t feel like they fit.
Non-Canon:
Scott x Stiles: Childhood Best Friends
Ya, sorry, I don’t ship Sciles at all. I get it. Like, I totally understand the ship, and I mean no judgment at all. I just see them as friends. I really value good male friendships in media because I feel like we don’t get enough, and I always liked these two.
Stiles x Derek: Enemies to Lovers. 100k. Angst. Hurt/Comfort.
God these two really are what fanfiction was made for. I could write a much longer discussion about Sterek, and I probably will eventually. I’ll try to keep this brief. These two weren’t always on the same side, but their approach was the same. They were very similar at their core. Plus, wow the chemistry. This should have been canon. Jeff’s a coward.
Allison x Lydia: Powerful.
This ship is so great. They really had a great dynamic, and a romantic plot would have easily fit the established narrative. Lydia’s confidence in herself and Allison’s confidence in her own abilities crossing over to each other because that’s what the other lacked? Iconic.
Danny x Jackson: He Gets Him
Danny really saw Jackson for everything he was and still cared. I wished we’d gotten to see more of them. I  want more background with Jackson’s eventual coming out and his friendship with Danny. Like, they ended up dating the same guy. What did Ethan have to say about that??
Stiles x Jackson: Bastards
Ok these two had a super fun dynamic. The asshole-energy between them was, great. The snark was always so entertaining.
Melissa x Noah: Family
How were these two not endgame? Their sons were practically brothers already. They had amazing chemistry. The flirting? Not to mention, their timeline would have made way more sense. Missed opportunity.
Chris x Peter: The Opposite of Love is Indifference, Not Hate
Ok so like, this was definitely one of those ships that I had absolutely no knowledge of before I was pretty into the fandom. Like, this was not something I would have guessed just after watching the show. That being said; my god the chaos alone…
Scott x Isaac: The Disaster Duo
Okay ya I love these two. Two dumb asses who act like idiot puppies. Such a fun dynamic. Plus?? Chemistry??? Hellooo
Scott x Allison x Isaac: Three Heads Are Better Than One
This ship is definitely one of my personal favorites. I very rarely poly-ship. I just feel like most of them are just love triangles with an ‘easy solution’, when two of them have no real connection. That is so not the case here. I feel like all of them have such great chemistry with each other. They also have a great dynamic as a group. Season 3A was really just Scallisaac rights.
Stiles x Isaac: I Hate You, jk…Not Really
Ok I loved their banter, but I really just don’t see this ship. Idk, I don’t personally ship it. Would have loved to see their friendship develop more tho.
Erica x Allison: Duo that would stab you with a stiletto
I don’t ship it, but I do wish we’d seen them become friends. I feel like they had a very artificial ‘girls fighting over a boy’ dynamic? They could have been such a badass duo.
Stiles x Erica: Batman x Catwoman
Ok I’m not sure exactly how to express my feelings for these two so bare with me. OMG I love their dynamic so much, and they are sooo cute. Their energy? Amazing. Chemistry? Great. History? It’s there and has so much potential. 10/10. Love them. But, no, I don’t ship it lol. Just really love their friendship, but with the underlying history of crushes.
Boyd x Erica: Was This Not Canon?
How can anyone not love Berica? Ugh they are adorable. These two deserved so much better.
Boyd x Cora: Survivors
Honestly I don’t really see it? Like they definitely had a connection, but it never felt romantic. I really feel like they just had to lean on each other and bond to make it through captivity, and it just lasted.
Boyd x Erica x Cora: The Pack
I literally learned this was a ship a couple days ago. Similar feelings towards this as Bora, but with the added hesitancy of we never actually saw Erica and Cora interact.
Cora x Stiles: Slow Build Up
These two were clearing being lined up to be a thing before Cora ended up leaving. I can’t say I’m disappointed they never happened. Kinda felt like they just wanted to straight-code Sterek.
Cora x Lydia: Mean Lesbians
Not much interaction to actually go off of, but yes I 100% support. They have very different approaches to problems, which is fun. Very ‘opposites attract’.
Malia x Kira: “Maybe you could date the coyote?”
Another one of my favorites!! They really complimented each other. Also, how full circle would they have been? They were introduced in back-to-back episodes. Malia stalking her as a coyote? The line from Kira’s dad about dating it? It would have been so funny if that ended up happening.
Malia x Lydia: Beauty and the Beast, but make it wlw
These two were fun. I liked their friendship, but I don’t really ship it. Though, rip Stiles that would have been hilarious.
Parrish x Lydia: The Cop and The Minor
Must I say more? Like, Parrish’s character, so sweet and big rule follower, did not make sense for what went down with Lydia. I love Parrish, but the dynamic just felt off. It didn’t feel consistent with the rest of his characterization.
Parrish x Stiles: The Cop and The Minor, but gay?
Ok, same reasoning as above, but also they had absolutely no connection romantically.
Scott x Theo / Stiles x Theo: Sometimes The Villain is Hot
Ok I’ve put these together because I have the same opinion for both. I don’t ship it. Neither had any rebuilding of trust, and Theo really hurt both of them. I just don’t really think they work.
Mason x Liam: Sciles Puppy Pack Edition
Similar to my feeling about Sciles, I just don’t ship these two. They had a good friendship, from the little we saw of it.
Theo x Liam: Anchors 2: Electric Boogaloo
Another personal favorite! I really don’t even understand why this didn’t go canon?? The elevator scene was just, so intense. They helped each other grow in 6B, and I really loved their dynamic. They should have hooked up.
Honorable Mention?: 
Parrish x Laura: What’s canon?
I’ve seen this in fanfic a lot, and I actually really like it lol. I thought I’d add it in here because I do love the creativity of fandoms.

Talks Machina Highlights - Critical Role C2E96 (February 25, 2020)
Tonight’s guests are Taliesin Jaffe and Liam O’Brien!
Announcements: The Chicago live show and C2E2 are imminent! The live show will be on Thursday night, but an hour earlier than usual, at 6 PM Pacific/8 PM Central! Liam will be at the live show, but unfortunately has to leave C2E2 early and won’t be able to make it on Sunday. On Friday, the first behind-the-scenes video for The Legend of Vox Machina animated series was posted on YouTube, introducing the writing team!
Episode 96: Family Shatters
Stats for this week’s episode! Of the 16 times Caleb has cast Teleportation Circle, the M9 have remembered to contact someone prior to their arrival 7 times. Of those 7 times, they were successful at contacting someone at the location only 3. Taliesin: “We’re playing this game like Skyrim, we’re just going through people’s houses breaking pottery.” Caduceus got the straw hat that he gave to Clarabelle in episode 31, about 188 in-game days ago. There were 17 cow-related puns. Dani: “Is that above or below average for a Critical Role episode?”
“Clay was kind of built relatively quickly. I didn’t give Matt a ton to play with. I gave him the order in which they left, I gave him Clay’s attitude and his impression of his family members, which was usually just one sentence, and some basic idea of what their power set might be if they had one. I always thought of him as, from a family perspective, of what would have happened to Percy if nothing went wrong.” He was happy to be the one to run the family business and just hang around at home and run the shrine. “I think the rest of the kids’ wanderlust probably put them at odds quite a bit.” He liked being able to play that conflict and show what Caduceus was like when he was annoyed. Cad took after his father, the girls generally wanted to leave, and Colton is “just sort of a doofus.”
Caleb was an only child, so seeing this many kids was a lot. “They clearly had their grudges and their different dynamics with each other, but that’s normal, for sure. Caleb’s very unfamiliar with it.” He also keeps looking at Nott and thinking about how everything he’s doing is about wanting to rebuild his family, whereas Nott is so conflicted about going back to hers. “He doesn’t understand it, but he doesn’t want to push it” or judge her for it. “I thought I had a really defined direction at the start of the campaign, but my seven best friends have knocked it silly.”
What’s keeping Cad with the Nein? “Caduceus is not ready to go home at all. He’s not done with his walkabout. He feels like he wants to see a bit more. He feels he has an intense debt to pay. He feels he has a mission to see everybody else through, at the very least. Or at least he’s telling himself that. So he’s saved his home, or at least he thinks he’s saved his home, and his family’s all right, so now it’s debts that must be paid. He’s not somebody who thinks you can just get off the bus.”
“Caleb was going to ask [the hag] about the ability to travel backward through time, not really believing that she could do that, but was still like, show me what you’ve got.” Even if she’d said it, he would have thought she was a liar. “Probably would’ve offered to kill the M9″ in exchange, then would’ve turned around to hit her with a surprise Disintegrate. Liam notes repeatedly that nothing could possibly have been as cool as what Laura wound up doing.
On the Nein not worrying about places Cad considered sacred ground, Caduceus “is fine with conflict. He doesn’t even really have to have conflict, he could assert himself if he were so inclined. It’s that he’s aware that there are limits to what these people can do. It’s very much the philosophy of ‘children and drunks can do no wrong’.” He’s picking his battles.
Was there a defining moment where Caleb started seeing the Nein as family? No single moment. “It’s like love by a thousand cuts.” Liam notes that he’s still not sure how Caleb would react if he suddenly had the means to carry out his plans. “He’s got the recovering-addict mentality.”
Cosplay of the Week: an amazing Pumat! (CriticalHitical, photo by Minniemooncos on Twitter)
Taliesin notes that Caduceus is definitely feeling more connected to the group. “If anything, Caduceus is really embracing his role as the spiritual guide to the group. He feels like he really has a lot to offer from that perspective of being the roving therapist. Or at least, he thinks he’s a roving therapist.” Liam notes that Cad is the most mysterious of the group to Caleb. “He’s the most religious character I’ve ever played, too. He’s fun! He really came together very nicely.”
On Caleb being more lighthearted on occasion: “He’s been out of practice being a human being for a long time.” The Nein’s brand of ridiculousness is rubbing off on him.
Why hasn’t Cad been pranking the Nein? “They don’t treat him poorly in that way yet. Siblings, man. I have quite a few siblings, and there is an energy. It’s the same way like when you’re around your parents, you revert to a 15-year-old.” Same with siblings. “There’s just something-- just the urge to torture them is so overpowering.” The moment he got the whistle, he knew exactly what he was going to do with it. Liam was reminded of Taliesin’s real-life siblings while watching these interactions in the game.
On Caleb’s laying on compliments for the Traveler: “The thing about time travel is it’s so implausible. It’s so implausible that I could see us finishing this campaign and Caleb will still have it in the back of his head for the rest of his life. But maybe Artagan could help with that. He certainly sees the potential in Artagan, and it was a balance between wanting to support everything Jester has devoted her life to, so it just felt like everyone was ready to write it off. Life is often like this, life isn’t what you thought it would be, it is what it is. Let’s not damn this yet, let’s feel it out. And if I can use this situation to possibly eradicate ultimate evil, that’s a win.”
Cad found it tough to have family and friends in the same room and play both roles. “I don’t know how much it came across that he was trying to keep them, not necessarily separated, but ‘family, guys, guys, family, ANYWAY.’” He did want to get his family on their way as quickly as possible. Cad is the equivalent of his early 20s, so something like 85-120 years old for a firbolg. 
Liam is asked about the conversation between Caleb and Yasha on watch several episodes ago. "You know what one of the best parts of that scene that played out was, is about 20 minutes or 30 minutes before that happened, I texted Ashley at the table and said, ‘Want to take watch? I have nothing planned, it could be fun.’” He wasn’t expecting it to go that far. “I think he had such an extreme reaction because he felt that he had done a good job of hiding things, and he was suddenly worried that he was transparent, that everyone had been able to read him this whole time when he’d thought that he was-- well, he’s a little in love with Jester Lavorre, and has been for a while, uselessly in love with her. The waltz was probably a little pebble. And in that moment-- this doesn’t play out verbally too much in the show, but he just was worried that this thing that he’s never going to admit to because it’s useless, she’s finding herself, and has her whole life ahead of her, and has other people around her who care about her and are a whole lot better for her than he is. And he’s aware of the way those two [Fjord and Beau] feel as well. It’s just there in the background fucking up his shit. It’s really just a problem. Big fucking problem.” 
Fan art of the week: a gorgeous Clay family portrait! (by Teaweltzer on Twitter)
On Clay being absent for the renewal of his home: “I don’t think his arc’s ending off-screen. I think his arc ends when he comes home to see what’s become of it.”
Is Caleb worried about Beau since the confrontation with her father? “Of course he is. She’s ignoring all the advice that she gave him. He doesn’t like to see her that hard on herself when she’s so competent and probably the backbone of the group. It’s the most judgey Caleb’s been of anybody, really, but he’s very aware of the pain of family and personal stuff. She knows her, and even though he broke his shit in half, he could still see the dynamic in the room when we visited his family, so he feels for her. We need you and we love you and we will miss you, you don’t fucking get to go.”
Each of the temples has a secondary god; what was the Blooming Grove’s other god? “The Blooming Grove is for the Archeart because it is a gift of beauty. It’s the Allhammer, the Changebringer, and the Archeart. It’s kind of a powerplay from the Wildmother, in my opinion. They’re all three based off of very specific types of funereal practices that are common throughout the world.”
Caleb saw giving over the transformation spell to Essek as a returning of one of his many favors. “Caleb likes Essek a lot. They’re like two highly gifted kids at school together. And, you know, he’s quirkily charming and handsome. There’s just no reason not to, in his mind. Outside of the M9, he’s probably the only person that Caleb would see as a friend that he’s made. Everyone else is just sort of scenery around the M9.”
What’s next for Cad? “It’s a little bit of finding himself, or at least finishing himself would be the way to put it.” (cue snickering from off-camera) “He’s also vaguely aware of some of the things that are going to possibly emotionally damage the party on the horizon, and he wants to be ready to deal with, in vague order, whatever’s going to happen to Jester, and then whatever’s going to happen to Fjord, and then whatever’s going to happen to Nott, and Yasha, and Caleb. He doesn’t know how to deal with what Beau’s going through. It’s the one thing he has no experience of, because he has no experience with that family dynamic. When he met people with that family dynamic, it was always at the end of it.”
Some fans sent in death whistles. Brian encourages Taliesin to play one on the plane.
The hat for Calliope was a last-minute thought. The flute could also have gone for Colton, depending on “who I could sneak up on”.
Caleb took a symbol of the Archeart from the Labenda Swamp. “I think it was familiar to me. I think I might have either correctly or mistakenly thought it reminded me of the woman who helped Caleb in the Sanatorium.”

Best and Worst Moments of the Walker family in 2022
Cordell Walker-
Best moment: Saving himself, Liam, and Julia Johnson in 3x02
Tumblr media
This was a moment of well-deserved badassery and I can't wait to see more out of him in the future
Worst Moment: Leaving Stella to think about "what she did" in 3x05
As much as I understand his reasoning behind thinking Stella threw the party at the Side Step, he should've known better than to assume and just blame her without hearing all sides of the story. I can understand leaving her behind because she's a legal adult and pulling strings to get her out would look bad but leaving her because she did something wrong was the wrong thing to do.
Liam Walker-
Best Moment: Saving Cordell in 3x06
Tumblr media
It's the second time he's saved his brother's life during this show and I kind of hope he's the last. Facing his worst nightmare twice in one day showed a great amount of mental fortitude and I hope he finds some time to take a nap soon to make up for it.
Worst Moment: Dealing with Seranos' Lawyers while drunk
Tumblr media
I can't exactly blame him for wanting to get shitfaced in the face of losing his job and reputation but this was not the way to try to salvage it
Abeline Walker-
Best Moment: Coming home in 2x20
Tumblr media
This was a great moment for all the Walkers but I still wish we'd gotten a montage of Abeline wiping every trace of Gale out of her home and garden. Bonham's family may own the land but Abby's touch was all over that house and seeing her come home to her garden and kitchen was big.
Worst Moment: Trampling Cordell's boundaries in 3x06
This is hardly the first time she's done something like this and she may have been right to step in and try to force Cordell down a better path but he's still a bit old for Mother to go meddling behind his back. Interfering with his work and getting Stella out of jail was going a step too far, even for her.
Bonham Walker-
Best Moment: Singing for Abby at their anniversary party
Tumblr media
This one goes without saying but I'll say a few words anyway.
Bonline is my favorite relationship in this show. They've had their ups and downs but they love each other and choose each other every day. This was a great episode for them and Bonham's song was my favorite part.
Worst Moment: Letting his pride get the best of him in 2x11
Tumblr media
Nothing riles Bonham up more than the Davidsons and he let Gale Davidson rile him up badly during the talk at the Side Step in this episode. His need to one-up Gale led him to put the entire Walker Ranch at risk over a horse race, a choice that only leads to trouble later.
Stella Walker-
Best Moment: Keeping Colton alive in 2x18
Despite her lack of foresight in not having a fully charged phone or a portable charger, Stella kept her head on straight in an emergency and kept Colton conscious and mostly stable without any guidance. I think this could be a sign of where Stella's future lies but until then, she can take care pf herself.
Worst Moment: Coming to Thanksgiving just to cause trouble in
Tumblr media
While Stella had every right to be upset about how her father was handling the issue, that didn't give her the right to make an already difficult day even worse for her family. It's not Mawline's fault your father is an idiot.
August Walker-
Best Moment: Refusing to let Stella go alone during 3x02
While neither of the kids should've gone to meet with Shannon and her crew, I think August did the right thing by strongarming his way into going. Who knows what might've happened to Stella if she'd gone alone?
Worst Moment: Do I even need to say it? 3x07

Yeah.... this one really needs no explanation but I'll give one anyway.
It's not Mawline's fault your dad can't see what's right in front of his nose. Bad form, August. Bad form.
Abigail Walker-
Best Moment: Defending Calian during 1x07
It was of great risk to herself and her reputation but she didn't think twice before putting everything on the line to help her friend. It's courage like this that puts Abigail a cut above the rest of the town and I look forward to seeing more of her kind spirit
Worst Moment: Attempting to murder Tom during his welcome party in 1x01
Tumblr media
Her anger was understandable but a rash action like this was bound to lead to more trouble. She's truly lucky that Hoyt stepped in when he did.
Well, that wraps up 2022! Here's to more glorious victories and infamous lows for our favorite TV family in 2023!

Walker 2x18 “Search and Rescue”
There’s so much action in this ep, it was actually a little disorienting for me. And yes, I happily and wholeheartedly missed an hour of the Jan 6 committee hearings for this.
Without further ado:
Dayum, Stella moves *fast*.
“Happy Hour Therapy”? Uh, yes, please. Invite me next time.
The musical score on this show is a subtle delight for me. Got a real Pink Panther vibe going here.
Ben looks like he’d be good in a fight. Also, I think I like him.
I wanna meet the lawyers Ben’s been talking to. *hmm*
The opener was kind of disorienting, tbh, but I guess I just mentally caught up.
AUGIEEEEEEE <3
Well, *someone* is rebounding…
Denise Davidson definitely has a mental health issue, but I’m not sure what it is.
Wait—Dan knows about the tail light? (Have I been sleeping for the last season?)
Dan, you punchable face, you. #NoMorePoorLittleMeowMeow
Grampa knows ALL. *yikes*
Ice cold, “Mr. Walker”. :(
I am rapidly developing a crush on Cassie.
Is she—is she matchmaking?
Stella being the picture of caution for once is so refresh—wait, no, never mind, she’s still a dumbass.
Well, that was…predictable.
Side note: I realize these are teenagers, but how does your phone battery EVER get THAT LOW #Judging
Unrelated: Did y’all see that Extra gum commercial? *yikes*
Okay, I REALLY don’t like this new chick. (How does such a sweet kid go for such bitches?)
YAY LIAM
OMG Walker fam are SO PREPARED it’s almost like y’all have family in first response.
Proposal: AU where Liam and Dan date
“Safe house” my dude that ‘Land Yacht’ is a 75-year-old aluminum death trap.
Well, this is………ominous.
What. The. FUCK.
Roswell, NM ad: Just a note for those who aren’t familiar with New Mexico geography… That’s Shiprock, a geographical formation literally at the opposite corner of the state from Roswell.
Trouble in paradise, Denise?
You know, I’m *really* hating that girl for leaving August to wander off alone.
Not a good day for the teenage boys of television, is it?
Frantic!Liam is frantic
Colton NO stay the fuck AWAKE my little dude
…..em, oh, you, ess, eee……..
You say “cursed”, I say “stupid” (toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe)
Wow DAN is the cooler head here, dang.
I unironically love that they didn’t just try to push Cassie and Trey together as a couple.
Brie Larson looks like Paris from Gilmore Girls all grown up.
That was a very Full Metal Jacket vibe there, y’all.
Damn, it got dark FAST.
Wow, way to go hard on the drama, soundtrack.
TREY YOU BADASS
PS one of my formative memories is the untimely death of the great Stevie Ray Vaughn so Cassie my girl I am WITH YOU 110% on the “helicopters are traps of death” thing
Hmm, are they teasing a “Stella as first responder” future?
Okay I love that y’all are fine but WHERE TF ARE CORDI AND CAP
I ship DanLiam now :(
Considering initiating a class action lawsuit against Meta for these atrocious commercials. Let me know if you’re interested.
Careful, Dan—Denise gonna murder yo’ ass and cover that shit up.
Oopsie there, Bonham….
Poor Liam, can’t even get to first base in peace.
Dan just went from silver weasel to silver fox in 0-60. Impressive.
How TF did Cap and Cordi get out of that?!

mercy brett young with colton parayko
Your date of the night leaned into you to whisper in your ear over the loud speakers of the night club. It was in that moment that you let your eyes linger around the club as you tried to take in your date’s words.  Your eyes landed on familiar blonde hair as he towered over everyone around him. 
His eyes were staring at you with so much intent, so much curiosity. You turned your attention back to your date as you leaned in and placed a gentle kiss to his lips making sure Colton could see. 
You weren’t sure if Colton knew that you were aware of his presence, but you were not about to let him ruin your night.  You stayed close to your date all night as you danced and drank the night away.
You were standing at the bar with your date trying to get the bartender’s attention to order shots when you felt someone approach you.
“Y/N?” Colton asked, as if he hadn’t been staring at you all night.
“Oh hi Colton!” You plastered on a fake smile.
“Long time no see, wanna introduce me to your friend?”
You rolled your eyes.
“This is Liam, Liam this is Colton.” You introduced them as you desperately tried to get the bartender’s attention.
“You play for the Blues right?  Man i’m a huge fan!” Liam said as he shook Colton’s hand.
As the words came out of Liam’s mouth, any attraction you had towards him immediately went away.  
You stood there and listened to Liam and Colton talk about hockey for a while before you slipped away.  You were walking down the street as you pulled your jacket tightly around your body trying to stay warm. 
“Y/N!” You heard from behind you, it was Colton.
Hearing Colton’s voice caused your blood to boil.  You proceeded to walk faster, however Colton’s long legs and athletic ability helped him catch up to you quickly. 
“Y/N, stop running.” He said as he approached you and placed a gentle hand on your shoulder.
“Just stop Colton, you ruined my entire night!” You shouted as you recoiled from him.
“You can’t honestly tell me you’re upset over that loser back there.  When you left he didn’t even notice, I had to tell him!” Colton scoffed.
You ran a frustrated hand through your hair.
“It doesn’t matter Colton!  Those are my decisions to make!  YOU broke up with ME!  You were the one that ended our relationship! And now I am trying SO fucking hard to get over you and you can’t even allow me to do it in peace!  If you don’t want to be with me that’s totally fine, I get it!  But do not make my life a living hell to the point where I can’t even date anyone else!” You seethed.
Your body was shaking as the anger surged through your veins.  You spent so long trying to even get the courage to go out with someone new after Colton ended things with you and then he showed up and just ruined everything.
“Baby...” He said as he reached for you.
“Don’t call me that.” You spat pulling back.
“Just let me explain...” He began.
“I miss you, and I mean really miss you.  I’ve been going insane without you.  The boys wanted me to go out tonight to help me get out of this funk I’m in over you and as soon as we walked in I saw you.  You looked so fucking gorgeous, but then I saw that you were with someone else.  I hated him without even knowing him.  I want you back baby, please.” He said as his eyes filled with tears.
“Colt...” You whispered, shocked at his words.
“Baby I promise to never let you go ever again. I love you and I was so stupid to let you go in the first place. Please give me another chance, please.” He begged as a tear slid down his cheek.
You’d never seen Colton cry so the first thing you did was wrap your arms around him, trying to hold him together as best as you can.  He buried his head into your hair as he held onto you.
“Take me home.” You whispered as you laced your fingers with his causing a smile to appear on his face.  
He leaned down and kissed you ever so gently, like he was afraid you weren’t even real.
“Let’s go home.” He confirmed as you began walking down the street towards his apartment.

Teen wolf?
favorite male character: Scott McCall, obviously, and to this day there are people who are still really really mad that I liked the protagonist of the show.
I really loved Mason, too. I'm pretty sure that's where Jeff Davis channeled everything he wanted to give to Danny but "couldn't" because of his beef with Colton and the latter's exit from the show.
favorite female character: Oh, boy... that's a toss up between Kira and Lydia. I loved Kira from the word go, but I also loved the growth that Lydia went through, so I'm torn.
least favorite character: I have two answers for this. Narratively speaking, I'm gonna have to go with Jackson. I never really got over his douchdbag attitude and then he disappeared just as the show started to delve into his past and possibilities (I'm utterly convinced that he was supposed to be Peter's kid and that they had to rearrange things after Colton bounced.)
Just from a "I dislike them" standpoint we have Stiles. Not because he was a bad character (he was a great foil to Scott, they balanced out eachother very well) or because of any of the stuff he did ("Some of us are human!"), but because the fandom kept trying to convince everyone (even themselves) that he was the best character ever and that the show should have been about him. Whenever fandom tells me that this is "the best character ever" I immediately take a step back and am way more critical of them.
prettiest character: well this is just unfair, because have you looked at that cast? They're all ridiculously gorgeous. It was like watching something on The CW. Its impossible to choose just one, because I'd say Kira, but then I think of Danny, and then I think of Isaac and then I think of Boyd, and then I think of Scott and then... well, you get the idea.
funniest character: I don't think there was any just one funny character, because they all had their moments, particularly Scott and Stiles when they were together. Or when Ken very loudly gave Kira that research "for that boy you like" right in front of Scott, or Malia not understanding modern stuff, or Isaac's and Boyd's sarcasm. Oh, and let's not forget Peter's disney villain voice in 3B ("The huntress and the banshee." Seriously, what the hell was that?)This show may have lacked a bit in terms of plot cohesion, but it was pretty good with the humor.
favorite season: truth be told I liked at least something about all the seasons, but I'm going to have to go with season two. That was the last time there felt like any kind of actual thought went into the whole season rather than just an episode-by-episode basis, where the writers had no idea where they wanted to end it. Season five was pretty good, too. Not just because Theo managed to do what nobody else did before him: break up the back, but because the two halves felt connected by the plot as opposed to seasons 3A and 3B, and 6A and 6B being completely separate plots each time.
However, I will say that season six sucked balls. The first half being entirely focused on a character that wasn't there because their actor chose to go do something else, and the second half just devoted to senseless violence and to killing off characters for shock value.
favorite episode: Master Plan. We got to see what a brilliant strategist our lead was, and I loved it.
The Overlooked was one I just have fun watching again and again, with our heroes trapped in an abandoned hospital in the middle of a raging storm. It was just a fun episode.
favorite romantic ship: this is one of the few shows where I actually liked most of the canon ships. I loved Scallison, and then Scira. Stiles and Malia were great together and I would have loved to have seen what could have been between Lydia and Jackson before the latter's departure. Derek and Braeden... wish we could have seen more of them. Mason and Corey were adorable, as were Liam and Hayden.
And, of course, I have my crack ships that I would have loved, Scisaac ("Dude, I love Mexican") or Scanny ("Its Armani"/"Its nice."), or Scalia.
favorite friend ship: this might come as a surprise to people, but I really liked the dynamic between Scott and Stiles. They completed eachother perfectly, and that was how they were able to outsmart so many of these diabolical villains. Also, Liam and Mason being this cool combination of the Scott/Stiles and Jackson/Danny friendships was cool.
favorite family ship: the McCall Pack
worst ship: St*r*k, obviously. I've made my opinions on that pretty clear. I wasn't a fan of the whole Allison and Isaac thing, either. I feel like that was shoved in there to compensate for the unintended Scisaac feels as well as to capitalize on the fact that I believe Crystal and Daniel were dating at the time. Also, not going to lie, I wasn't a dan of the Stiles/Lydia and Scott/Malia stuff in the final two seasons.

Walker 2.09
Tumblr media
This episode had me hooked. Like fully hooked, it was so good!
There’s this mini side-plot about the Side Step opening its doors for local bands to play, and August signs up to impress this girl he likes but he doesn’t sing and neither does Colton (who August roped into helping him by providing a song), but luck will have it that the kid who used to date the last girl he liked but is now friends with them does sing- listen I can’t remember the kids name and I’m not gonna bother to look it up the point is they find someone who can sing. Also, there’s hints of the beginning of a love triangle between the dude, Stella, and Colton. We’ll have to see how it’s handled but- I don’t know if I’ve ever had a phase of liking love triangles in tv and movies but if I did it is long past.
But none of that is important! What is important is the main plot of the episode which is that Serano is out on bail! Which means everyone is in danger including the Davidsons because Dan has evidence that Serano is the one who bugged the Walker ranch and that he wants to kill Walker. Evidence he has kept to himself this whole time cause he’s slimy. You know those people who are spineless cowards but wanna posture and act as if they’re tough? We’ve all met at least one, they’re incredibly annoying. Dan is one of those people.
He goes to anonymously send this evidence to the DA’s office and almost gets killed by Serano’s men because of course the dude knows about him and the info he has, and y’all know who Dan has the audacity to ask help from? Liam. He goes to the Walker house, shoves some money into Liam’s hand and hires him as his lawyer. Because if Liam is his lawyer he gets attorney-client privilege.
Liam agrees to take him on as his client because Serano is out and about plotting to kill his brother but Dan wants the premium package: full anonymity even from his wife, and full immunity. While Liam is doing his job and putting things in motion, Dan gets a call from Serano telling him to hand over the evidence if he doesn’t want something happening to his family. So, he calls Liam to tell him thanks for the help but he’s gonna do what Serano wants.
But Walker put those detective skills to good use, all it took was him seeing Liam talking on the phone with Dan for him to realize what was going on, inform Captain James, and put a plan together. I was impressed, I’m telling y’all that conversation between Dan and Liam wasn’t even a minute in and Walker was already putting his plan in motion.
It all comes down to Serano and Walker which is very fitting, they have a very fun car chase, at one point they’re right next to each other with their guns pointed at one another and then BAM! out of nowhere this semi truck slams right into Serano sending his car flying through the air and killing him. I was not expecting that, I didn’t think this is how or when this storyline was going to end.
Even though Serano is dead, Dan still gets the immunity and to keep his identity private. Him and Liam get into a little back and forth, and the little weasel tells Liam he still owes him for saving his life. But Liam ain’t having it and asks him if when he shot the guy if he did it to save him or to save himself because defense of others is one thing, commiting murder to cover a crime is another. Dan might be annoying but the animosity between him and Liam is so much fun to watch that I actually hope we get more scenes between them. It’s just fun as all hell.
Denise does end up finding out about Dan because Walker not so indirectly tells her, and then she’s looking through the surveillance videos of the Walker home (from when they were being spied on that’s the evidence Dan handed over) and she comes across the time that Walker broke down to his mom and told her all about his guilt over the barn catching fire all those years ago because he could remember taking a lantern in there. And that’s where the episode ends.
I really enjoyed this, it- I watch this with my sister and I was so into it that at one point she tried telling me something and I literally shushed her 😂
It was excellent. One of the best of this season so far, imo, I’m very curious to see what’s gonna happen in the remaining episodes cause they got quite a lot of room to play. A high note to go on break too, this is the last ep till March 3rd there is a long-ish hiatus but at least it’s going on break on a strong note.
Definetely check it out, if you haven't already.
