#finale fuckery

[samsrowena]

i know we talk about this episode all the time because it really does foreshadow the end in a horrifying way but i am just feeling so sick about the fact that we see this before chuck writes his first ending:

and then we see this after he rewrites it to be even worse:

like how is this not just a blatant call to attention of network meddling

#to be clear i am not one to place blame all on one side (whether it's the network or the writers i will blame any involved <3) #but i fully believe everything w/ chuck and becky in this episode is intentional. there's no way it's a coincidence. it's a warning #spn.txt #spn rewatch #supernatural #spn #caps #spn 15x04 #atomic monsters #chuck won theory #finale fuckery

[mybrainproblems]

yeah, true facts: the finale isn't shorter than average. even if you remove the fourth wall break it's 41:05

i have an absolutely sick obsession with this episode

#why would someone start this rumor? i distinctly recall posts talking about it being 37 or 38 minutes which is obviously untrue #this is such a weird thing to make up bc who besides a crazy person (me) is going to check that?? #spn #finale fuckery

You know, as a (kind of) new fan, I barely know shit about the full spn experience of watching shit unfold in real time—which obviously took years. When I was scrolling through Nov 5th tag, destielgate and all that, I found a fairly huge amount of people shitting on Andrew Dabb, especially for writing the finale. And I got curious about this infamous writer guy, like what else did he write?

Then I went to Google and saw that he wrote What’s Up Tiger Mommy. Then Hunteri Heroici. Clip Show. Road Trip. Bloodlines??? Stairway to Heaven?????? The Things We Left Behind????????

The Prisoner???????????

All Along The Watchtower?????????????

Lost & Found??????????????????

Like obviously, none of these episodes are perfect. But these includes HUGE destiel scenes—like pivotal moments that greatly affects the relationship and it’s development and how the audience view it. And so much of these are obviously, blatantly romantic. As explicit as it can be. Like the direct canon couple parallels? At least THREE times? You’re telling me this man is responsible for The Lovers Quarrel ft. Suffering Sam in season 8? “I’ll watch over you”? The Dean/Cas - David/Violet parallel???? Cas’ deleted personal heaven???? “Don’t lose it over one man”????? Cas giving up his Angel army for one guy?????? The Dinner Date?????? The Sam/Jess - Dean/Cas - Claire/Kaia parallel??????? The climax of Cain/Colette - Dean/Cas Mark of Cain plot line??????? “You know, I always thought I could be a good dancer if I wanted to be”???????? The PURGATORY REUNION?????????? The start of THE FUCKING WIDOWER ARC?????????????

The Fucking. Widower. Arc. The stark contrast between that and Cas being barely mentioned in 15x19 and 15x20???????? Listen—and I’m just spitballing here—but what if this guy isn’t the fucking problem. You cannot convince me that someone who wrote all that, who contributed to all that, does not fucking see it…

…oh my fucking god. What the fuck were in those omitted scenes?

#note that ​I don’t know what this guy has said in the past maybe he’s said some bullshit but like. actions are louder than words or whatever #just look at these fucking episodes man. these scenes. I literally did NOT expect his episode line up to be so full of destiel. #I just— I have so many fucking questions. #supernatural #spn #spn scripts #spn finale #spn finale fuckery #spn gate #spngate #spn meta #destielgate #destiel meta #destiel #deancas #casdean #dean winchester #castiel #dean x castiel #andrew dabb #dabbnatural #reiotalks

I'm never gonna finish this fic, sooooo

#it's supposed to be a ''skelebros' first birthday party on the surface'' fic. i had a couple of fun ideas for it #but I can't string them together into a story to save my life #it was gonna be about sans finally drawing a line under his past life once and for all #and just accepting that things ARE going to be better and that he has a future to look forward to #and that he doesn't have to settle for ''good enough'' anymore. and how terrifying that is. since he's finally caring about something #100% caring i mean #but also it was stupid as fuck. the skelebros have no idea what actual age they are. because time-space fuckery #toriel gets tipsy and shows off one of her old party tricks. which blasts the window clean off the wall. #there are more than a few explosions. sans is threatened with karaoke #everyone tries to physically prevent mtt from hiding in the cake. which isn't even like a big wedding style cake #it's literally just a bigger version of toriel's usual pies #this doesn't stop him from trying #undertale #sans #papyrus #alphys #undyne #grillby #mywriting

jasico server was chatting about the cupid scene and jason getting nico's memories blasted straight into his brain and how jason being shot with one of cupid's arrows while with nico and this was just never brought up in canon again and now i'm thinking like...what if that's just how cupid's arrows work? not by magically manifesting love for someone out of nothing, but by giving someone the perspective that'd make them fall in love naturally? jason gets a front row seat to nico's memories and instantly understands him intimately and can trust him completely without any doubt or suspicion

so what if jason, after slowly realizing he's totally in love with nico, just thought back to the arrow incident and it made him second-guess everything? because maybe he's only feeling this way because cupid hit him with an arrow with only nico was around and it's no different than any other god messing with his love life

#i live for anything that drags out the pining/pre-relationship period as long as possible okay #give me the drama of jason frustrated about constantly being manipulated by gods #in love with nico but convinced it's just cupid fucking with him and not wanting nico to get dragged into it #maybe telling nico eventually because he's having trouble hiding his feelings and he doesn't wanna hurt nico by confusing him #which is of course an emotional rollercoaster for nico #hearing jason say he's in love with him only to then immediately hear that it's just godly fuckery #nico agreeing to help jason find cupid to get it reversed because he knows how much it sucks having feelings for someone unwillingly #and he doesn't want jason stuck mooning over someone like him just because he was unkucky enough to be with nico for the cupid incident #whole quest in which nico develops feelings in return and angsts because he's sure jason only feels that way because of the arrow #maybe a slip-up in the middle somewhere with nico accidentally revealing he likes jason back before backpedaling wildly #so now jason has hope despite himself because he'd never really thought it was possible anyway given nico's feelings for percy #and he doesn't like being manipulated by gods but he doesn't mind the idea of being in love with nico #and what if he just gave up on the hunt for cupid entirely and let it happen #while nico feels guilty since clearly it's just cupid arrow magic fucking with jason and he's enabling it #and then of course when they finally find cupid he explains how his arrows work and that he can't just FORCE someone to be in love #no more than hera could with jason and piper by fucking with their memories to push them together #cupid's methods are just way more effective #my tag babble ended up longer than the actual post oh my god #pjo #jasico #my dumb headcanons

Love as a Strength and Weakness in 5x08

Re: Callum drawing love from strength vs love never been an unequivocal good in TDP (written post-S4).

Let's talk, briefly, about love as a strength and a weakness in 5x08, as the episode highlights this dichotomy very well. To begin, we have Callum and Finnegrin's differing viewpoints on it, specifically:

C: See? So long as we protect each other, so long as we love each other, you can never control us.

F: All that talk about how love makes you stronger, but the second you see that elf girl in pain, you completely lost yourself.

And to a certain degree, they're both right. Callum's epiphany of "You don't control anything" is something that applies to both Callum and Finnegrin because it's the innermost truth of the arcanum they now both share.

Callum's love for Rayla allows him to be controlled, shown when he gives up the spell (and by doing dark magic).

But it's also what sets him free from Finnegrin's (immobilization) blood freezing spell. Love here is why Finnegrin is also ultimately unable to control him, too.

However, I want to talk more specifically about the hands in Finnegrin's Wake (yes, again, because there's still more to talk about) in regards to the epiphany scene in particular with more detail than I gave it in the linked meta a few lines above. Let's look at the framing, shall we?

When Finnegrin first gives Callum the rattle snake tail (a literal warning sign that Callum is goaded and then does crush out of desperation), we see Callum clasp his wrist, like a chain, and the shot of his palm open wide.

We get a similar open hand shot as he starts to connect to the Ocean arcanum, thereby showing his acceptance of being willing to use dark magic to save Rayla (and his loved ones) is indeed crucial to him unlocking the Ocean arcanum. Rayla is likewise highlighted because she was on the one tethered to this poem earlier on in the season (x2). Callum mimics the crushing of the slug as the final physical / metaphysical stage required for the magic to take hold.

And, rather symbolically, the dark storm we saw at first as well as the rain begins to fade. The light comes out and the chaos recedes. He's weathered the storm and come out drastically changed for it, but him unlocking the Ocean arcanum is strength and is a positive: it allows him to free himself. It brings back the light. It's tethered to Love.

But the episode doesn't end on a triumphant note, because it's not interested in easy answers or straight forward paths. Instead, it's interested in dualities and dark sides, and that Callum's love for her will unlock both great things - and terrible ones.

And so again, we return to the hand clasp - the metaphorical chain - because as much as love has given him strength and having Rayla in his life is worth it to Callum, it's still not without its complications ("Now you're back: that's kind of good, and it's kind of bad" / "We have to hold pain and love in our hearts at the same time"). She makes him strong and supports and loves him, but she's also his weakness and leaves him worryingly exploitable, if only to his own nerves and reservations.

And, y'know, probably Aaravos' plans, too.

Thinking about how few shits Stede gives about the distress of the crew really makes the bathtub scene hit even fucking harder like Lucius keeled over in front of him and he was just annoyed fuckery rehearsal was interrupted but Ed has a flashback and panics and he breaks open his own fucking door and sinks to his knees beside him and says Ed’s name in the tenderest voice and I am oN fIrE

Oh you’re dying Lucius? Inconvenient and rude. Ed is upset?!?! Fuckery, what fuckery ARE YOU OK EDWARD would you feel better if I tell you that you’re good at maiming people please don’t cry I’ll forgive you for planning to murder me I’ll do anything to stop you looking so desperately sad let me just touch you gently let me make it better

#thinking about #@chuplayswithfire #post about Izzy's toe #and #@ourflagmeansgayrights #response to it specifically #ofmd meta #It also really gets me in this scene that they’re each other's first real friend? #Like Ed is upset for a lot reasons but finally having someone he cares about and not wanting to kill them is one of them #Stede finally has someone he cares about who’s well being is more important than his self interest #like he was so excited about the fuckery but abandons the grand finale to check on Ed without a second thought #part of that was that the fuckery was to impress Ed anyway but the man put his whole dramatic idiot pussy into it #they’re both selfish bastards but they make an effort to care about something other than themselves for each other #anyway the bathtub scene makes me feral #my first watch I was having a blast and invested as hell #but that was the scene that tipped me over into unhinged hyperfixation #hurt/comfort is my genre foks #ofmd #genltebeard #blackbonnet #what the heck I'll also tag u emmy incase you miss it bc this seems like something you would also want to bite your own arm about #@xoxoemynn

It's almost creepy how empty and devoid of emotions and heart the 15x20 script is. Like from the dialogue on its own to the directed actions, it's like staring into an empty husk of what the show was. Like even at its worst episode, spn still held true to what the show is but god, that finale was like watching a whole other show

#the finale fuckery is still something that has a grip on me unfortunately #which is all the more reason why im SO curious about spnwin trynna fix it #15x20 #renu rambles
