#how many times can I rewatch this in 24 hours
Text
I just put together that Crowley, despite his whining, fully accepts the idea of "our car," which fundamentally transforms the Bentley.
That's why Shax then has to play Hitchhiker instead of just popping in like she had previously - now that it's the Earthly property of an angel as well as a demon, she needs an invite.

pairings. jungkook x bookworm!reader (f)
genres/aus. fluff, established relationship
warnings. jk loves calling reader ‘sweetheart’, mentions of reader’s anxiety, and a short kiss(makeout?) scene, not proofread!
notes. i actually loved writing the first drabble of jungkook x bookworm!reader and i can’t sleep and currently rewatching the twilight movies as im writing this so here’s this :D likes and reblogs are appreciated <33
[ masterlist ]
you can’t remember when you had told yourself, one more chapter. but apparently it’s been long considering it’s almost three in the morning. the ice in your coffee has melted into a smaller ice cube, so you take a big sip. not wanting the ice to water down the sweet, creamy taste.
coffee late at this hour doesn’t affect you no more. you drink it now for the taste more than anything. you can thank school and those tiring days of studying hunched over a table. the amount of energy drinks and coffee you’ve consumed should be concerning but you gotta do what you gotta do.
if jungkook was here, he would’ve had a fit and told you drinking caffeine at this hour is bad for you.
but he’s not. he’s at a late night practice and he told you he’s not sure he’ll be able to come over.
you have your two pillows propped up against your headboard, your book nuzzled against your thighs and your stuffed animal under your arm. your bedside lamp creating the perfect lighting for you to see and the perfect atmosphere.
you’re deep into your book, too engrossed in the plot between the love interests that you don’t hear keys jingle and a door softly shut and echo in the quiet night of your home.
you still don’t hear the soft feet padding towards your bedroom until your door opens, revealing your boyfriend.
he looks as if he’s freshly showered, the ends of his hair are damp and stringy, and his face is bare and cheeks a soft red. that’s how it looks after he finishes his skincare routine, he must have rushed over here.
he grins when he sees you’re awake and so do you when you see him, placing your bookmark inside and setting it down next to you. you sit up on your knees, eager to touch him and kiss him, realizing again how much you miss him despite seeing him this morning. that was almost 24 hours ago.
but his eyes maneuver to the coffee that’s condensing, making a puddle on the coaster.
he squints his eyes at you. and it feels almost as if you’ve been caught as a child. you lower yourself to sit on the back of your shins.
“hi kookie,” you smile, acting innocent.
“don’t kookie me. how many times have i told you to stop drinking coffee so late, it’s almost three. you’re not gonna sleep.” he tells you again, sternly. reaching behind his neck to take off his crewneck in one swift movement, the shirt underneath scrunches up with the sweater, revealing his abs. and you can’t help but ogle while you’re being scolded. you can’t blame me.
you frown, “i know, i know. but you know reading and drinking coffee goes hand in hand. i wanted to enjoy reading my book and–“
he moves towards you, placing his knee on the foot of the bed, crawling shortly til he reaches you. his nose brushing yours and his eyes half-lidded. the soft scent of his shampoo and brief smell of mint swallows you, bringing that familiar comfort.
“sweetheart, i know. but caffeine also doesn’t mesh well with your anxiety. you know that. it’s fine to drink it once or twice during the day but late at night is a no.” he softly warns, tilting his chin upwards to catch your lips with his.
it was meant to be a quick kiss but your fingers reach to hold his face, tugging him closer to you until you’re lying on your back and he’s on top. his hands placed on both sides of your head, caging you in, straddling you. both your hands trail its way down from his neck down to his chest, stomach and then they find its home at his waist. pulling him down til his front weighs pressure on your sensitive spot.
both of you moan into the kiss, and your sweet sound sends an alert to jungkook. before you both get carried away, he pulls back, kissing you once more before pulling away.
he hums, deliciously. “though coffee does taste best coming from you.” he gazed at you, eyes shining and lips slightly red. no doubt, you look the same.
“i thought you weren’t coming tonight.” you say questioningly, watching him move your book next to your coffee so he can lie underneath the covers with you. once he’s settled in, he has an arm resting behind his head and the other resting around you.
“i wasn’t, but i really wanted to sleep with you and i wanna make you breakfast in the morning. i saw a recipe i wanna try.” you hum in response, trying to nuzzle your head deeper into his warmth but his t-shirt is blocking what you want.
you tug at his shirt without saying anything and he understands. he sits up quickly to shrug off the fabric, tossing it across the room to land beside his bag before lying back down, holding you.
he lets out a dramatic sigh, “ahh, this is my favorite thing in the world.” turning on his side, you following so you’re both facing each other, legs tangled together.
“i missed you too.” you whispered. he didn’t say it but he didn’t have to, his answer was enough.
your head nestled underneath his chin and against his chest, you kiss the skin.
“what chapter are you on?” he asks, his voice deeper than it was, slumber almost taking over him.
“twenty-eight, i’m almost done with it.”
he hums. “did you start the book today?”
he feels you nod. “my little bookworm.” he coos, scratching your back softly with the tips of his fingers. “go to sleep, sweetheart.”
and you do.

Hello Questies!!
This post has been a long time coming, and here it finally is. Willow, and more importantly, the Willow Fandom, changed my life, so, thank you all for everything!
Now Presenting…
How to Get a Girlfriend by Watching Willow 2022:
Step 1. See gif of Kit on top of Jade when she was saying goodbye like on Pinterest.
Step 2. Figure out the name of the show with the hot girls.
Step 3. Rewatch the original Willow.
Step 4. Watch Willow 2022
Step 5. Realize that the feelings about other women that you have been suppressing since you were 17 are coming back to bite you in the ass.
Step 6. Reject compulsory heterosexuality.
Step 7. Call your best friend in a panic.
Step 8. Try for weeks to try to get anyone you know to watch Willow. Fail.
Step 9. Sign back into an old tumblr account and start following people just as obsessed as you are.
Step 10. Read horny fanfic. A LOT of hot horny fanfic.
Step 11. Get your best friend so fed up with you that she invited you to an LGBTQIA+ friendly community event more than an hour away just so she doesn’t have to be the only person hearing about Willow anymore.
Step 12. Make lifelong friends!!
Step 13. After several months of trying to convince people to watch Willow literally steal the TV hookup and force people to watch it.
Step 14. Share the link to the Free Willow website in the Facebook group chat so everyone can watch more episodes.
Step 15. Get private Facebook message from girl wanting to talk about Willow.
Step 16. Make friends with said girl and get a huge crush.
Step 17. Start hanging out outside of group events.
Step 18. Be awkward.
Step 19. Continue to be awkward for several months until one half of the friend group pulls you aside, and one half pulls her aside and endure an intervention.
Step 20. Ask girl on date. (She says yes!!)
Step 21. Go on date and realize that despite the fact that there are over 12 years of university between the two of you, that you both read dozens of the same articles on Reddit and Quora about how to act on a first date, since neither of you have had one before.
Step 22. Get mutually pissed off at the lack of official peer reviewed research on how to have a healthy relationship. Decide to work on writing and publishing together. (So far, the only thing actually peer reviewed is our relationship, which only started due to peer review.)
Step 23. Make plans for more dates.
Step 24. Be happy!!!
Step 25. Realize that communication is hard and misunderstandings suck after reading more horny Willow fanfic.
Step 26. Write 5 page love letter in proper MLA Epistle format and give to girl.
Step 27. Become official girlfriends!
Step 28. Receive photos of her extensive collection of swords and blades.
Step 28b. Implode. (Like seriously. It was SO hot.)
Step 29. After being girlfriends for two months, bring up Willow again and find out that she doesn’t actually care that much about Willow?!?!?!!!! She likes it but was mostly using it as an excuse to talk to you?!?
Step 30. Consider breaking up with girl (not really!!) because she isn’t actually as obsessed with Willow as you are.
Step 31. Decide to share your gratitude with the ongoing Willow fandom for changing your life instead of worrying about making everyone in your life love it as much as you do. 😂
————
Thanks to the creators who helped me work through the emotions of steps 5 and 6 and those who helped with steps 10 and 25. @ksfreckles @geek-and-nina @ourlonelymoon @commanderbuffy @acre-of-wheat @wigster07 @vetiverriver @barmaid-anon @swashbucklery @spybrarian @isabrella @lowkeyed1 @savewillow2022 and so many others!
While I’m at it: Thanks to @ourlonelymoon for reminding me I don’t have to earn help, @acre-of-wheat for helping me remember that being on the spectrum doesn’t make me unloveable (and for reminding me that letter writing is valid communication) @commanderbuffy for proving that love isn’t just for teenagers, @wigster07 for showing second chances and that character growth requires tons of hard work @geek-and-nina for perfectly portraying the emotions and joy of falling in love, and @ksfreckles for being the first person I talked to online and for writing the story that means everything to me.
Thank you Willow Fandom and Willow Creators! I do not know where I would be today if it wasn’t for my lovely, Willow-obsessed online community. 💕 ⚔️ 😉

Index of Enhanced Edition Con Videos
I'll maintain this index in a pinned post for easy reference. Click the links to go to the YouTube videos, or click here for a more readable Google Docs table which includes these links plus a tab noting which events I skipped, temporarily or permanently, and why.
2007-11-11, Chicago - J2 Breakfast (00:23:42)
2007-11-11, Chicago - Jensen Solo (00:21:55)
2007-11-11, Chicago - Jared Solo (00:29:44)
2007-11-11, Chicago - J2 Main (00:38:24)
2008-07-27, San Diego Comic Con - SPN Panel (00:50:52)
2008-11-16, Chicago - J2 Breakfast (00:26:16)
2008-11-16, Chicago - Jared Solo (00:26:20)
The main panels from CHICON 2008 are up next. They'll have better video quality (for the most part) than the Breakfast panel from that event.
Thank you to everyone who has shown an interest in these videos. The reblogs and likes all made me very happy, and I especially appreciated the kind comments some of you left in your reblog text and tags. I'm unsure of the proper Tumblr way to respond directly to that in a way that won't annoy people, but I've definitely noticed and appreciated it!
An explanation of this project and my tentative plans for it are listed below the break. A lot of it will be familiar if you've read my earlier posts, but it's more detailed -- and excessively long! There's also some info on how you can help, especially if you have any old videos or audio files that you'd be willing to contribute.
Why Do You Call These "Enhanced Editions"?
The videos I'm using are not my own, but I've spent many hours adding enhancements to them. Credit and links to the original videos are in the video descriptions. These are the typical enhancements you'll see:
I'm upscaling the videos as best I can. It isn't remotely perfect, but it's a little more watchable than the originals. I'm not experienced with this and the videos I'm working with are very low quality by today's standards. They were also recorded under difficult circumstances. Video taking wasn't permitted at most of the earlier cons, so the people who took them did so at the risk of getting kicked out. They couldn't exactly come waltzing in with a tripod, so the videos are shaky, they don't always have a clear view of the stage, and sometimes they cut off at unfortunate moments. They can be frustrating to watch, but we owe these people a debt of gratitude for capturing this footage because otherwise it would have been lost altogether.
The original videos are usually in multiple parts, but I'm editing them together into a single video as cohesively as possible. I may use videos from multiple sources to provide the most complete video possible, and I'll select the ones with the highest video quality available. Sometimes there just aren't a lot out there, though.
I'm adding extra content to help clarify references people make during the panels. The videos I've worked with so far don't take up the full width of a modern video frame, so I've taken advantage of that extra space to display the extra content to the side where it's less obtrusive. There are explanations for obscure references that are way funnier when you understand what they mean, plus episode references to help jog the memory for those of us who haven't rewatched the show a million times. In rare cases where I think it will enhance understanding, I'll insert brief episode clips that highlight what they're talking about.
I'm putting a LOT of time into adding good, color-coded English subtitles that can be turned on and off with YouTube's CC button. These videos can be frustrating to understand because the audience often drowns them out and Jared and Jensen tend to talk at the same time when they're together. I can't always figure everything out, but it's far better than the crazy, auto-generated nonsense that many videos have. The color-coding helps with telling who's saying what: red for Jared, blue for Jensen, green for the general audience, yellow for the current fan at the microphone, and white for other people such as staff.
If there's missing footage that I can't find anywhere, then if I can find a source that seems to have reliable details about what was discussed, I'll add still images with a brief summary and a link to my source in the video description.
What Conventions Do You Plan to Enhance?
I don't want to make grand promises that I'll enhance videos for every old convention, although I definitely love the idea of doing so. How far I go with this will depend on how much sustained interest there is from other people and how much spare time I have myself. My output speed will probably be erratic depending on what's going on in my life at the time.
My general plan was to start with the oldest conventions and work my way forward. For now, I only plan to enhance the panels with Jared and/or Jensen since they're my main interest. I may temporarily skip over conventions that they didn't both attend, but with the intent to go back and fill those in later.
One big constraint will be whether I can find enough videos to work with for a convention, and just how bad the quality is. I've found that some videos are too poor of a quality to upscale, at least with my limited skill. Since these videos are painful to watch in their raw form, I suspect people will be less interested in watching "enhanced" videos that don't include at least some noticeable improvement in visual quality, but please do let me know if I'm wrong. For that reason, I'll probably skip past cons if I can't upscale the videos, at least for now.
As I work through the old conventions, I'll make a good attempt to upscale the available videos. If I don't have much success, then I'll skip over that convention with the hope that someday either the technology or my skills will improve, or maybe a more skilled fan will be able to accomplish more with it. If I make it through all the low-hanging fruit, I might come back to those problematic conventions and just create a cohesive edit with special content and subtitles even if I can't substantially improve the video quality.
These are just my general thoughts right now but the project is young, so my strategy may change.
Can I Help?
If you have any old convention videos or audio files that you're willing to contribute, please message me! For now, let's limit it to content from 2010 or older. Maybe I can use them, maybe I can't, but the more I have to work with, the better chance I have of creating something more complete. If I do use your material, I'll credit you in whatever manner you prefer.
My main source of videos has been the Supernatural Wiki convention pages and the playlists that sil9800 has put together on YouTube. If your videos can be found there, and if the links to them still work, then I've probably found them already. There are a lot of dead or private video links on the Wiki though, and also dead links on various LiveJournal pages linked to from the Wiki, so there were more videos out there at one point. (If you have any videos you don't want me to use for this project, let me know and I'll respect your wishes.) I also run keyword searches on YouTube, but I rarely find anything that I hadn't already found from those other sources.
Even if your video looks terrible, you might just have a missing piece of footage that I couldn't find anywhere else, or your video might upscale more easily than another. If nothing else, I might be able to hear something in the audio that will help me fill in a subtitle I couldn't figure out.
Likewise, audio files can be helpful even without video. If nothing else, they may help me fill in some subtitles. If the audio file is consistently easier to understand than the audio on the videos I'm using, I can also substitute the audio from your file in place of the video's audio. If you have audio of sections of the panels for which no known videos exist, that could also help me fill in those gaps.
If you're watching my enhanced videos with the subtitles turned on, please do let me know if you catch any errors or if you can clearly understand something I marked as [inaudible]. I can't change the videos themselves on YouTube, not without breaking the links and causing confusion, but it's pretty easy to update the subtitles because they're a separate file. It's important to me to try not to put words in their mouths that they might not have said, so I'm trying not to guess based on context. However, there were times when I felt like I should have been able to understand what they said but I just couldn't manage it, and I'm sure someone with different ears may be able to figure out some of the parts I couldn't.

96 Thoughts while rewatching the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Pilot.
1. Midge graduated college early, got married and had her first kid in like a year and a half holy shit girl.
2. That fat joke not great. But ASP is ASP.
3. monogrammed butter pads. Like Disney World!
4. lol the bleaching.
5. Why did the man have to be Joel?
6. Midge why was Joel a gift from god? He was not. He was not a gift from god, the best thing he did for you was help you recognize Lenny when you eventually got thrown in the same cop cruiser.
7. The airplane gluuuueeeeee lol
8. The suit they put Luke in is too big on purpose, to try and make him look older and less attractive and it uh...doesn’t work.
9. Against a tree. Ugh. Not comfortable.
10. “we’re very happy” I love Abe so much.
11. So many angry Jews about shrimp.
12. YOU SHOW ME WHERE IN THE BIBLE WHERE GOD SAYS YOU CAN’T EAT SHRIMP.
13. I wish I lived where there was a dedicated butcher.
14. Poor Midge has no idea that she and Joel are skint because he hasn’t told her shit. God dammit.
15. Spending hours on that brisket. Hours to get it perfect.
16. He hates you, Joel, because you’re a terrible comedian and you don’t deserve a better time.
17. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.” You’re gonna find out, asshole.
18. Penny Pann cannot use an electric pencil sharpener. She is so fucking dumb. How did she figure out sex if she couldn’t figure out- you know never mind.
19. The music slaps.
20. Remember that no matter how in love Joel is acting in this moment, he’s been fucking Penny for months.
21. MONTHS.
22. He winds up so angry about Midge handling everything for him, but he let her. He enjoyed it. He barely had to lift a finger.
23. Oh Susie.
24. Oh Midge.
25. I owe my soul to the company stooooooore
26. “I should be kissing the brisket!” Fuck you.
27. Jackieeeeeeeeeeeee
28. Blugh.
29. Blugh Joel.
30. Susie knows what’s up.
31. “I was great.” Holy fuck.
32. One standing ovation everyone goes home pregnant. lol
33. We’ve never met Aunt Bertha. I want to. I deserve Aunt Bertha.
34. Fuck, Midge’s routine is so brutal. Paranoidly staying awake until Joel drops off, and then doing her entire routine and sneaking back into bed. Getting up before the sun is up to redo her whole look and then pretending to be asleep. Jesus, not thank you.
35. COMPLETE WITH FAKE EYELASHES UGH.
36. She really thought this was supposed to be her life forever. That this was it.
37. Morning Ethan. Ethan. Ethan. Ethan. E-
38. Rose and the forehead. Ugh. Just the - the physical expectations...so much yikes.
39. lol schnorror
40. Oh Imogene.
41. Again. The every day physical demands are insane. And Midge puts this on herself for the most part, but I do get the feeling that Joel...didn’t help.
42. “I made curry but I also ordered Chinese.” BITCH NO! NO! YOU MAKE DINNER HE EATS WHAT YOU COOKED WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT AND IF IT IS TRULY UNPALATABLE YOU ORDER OUT TOGETHER. God damn, the shit this woman would go through just to make this horrible man happy. Fuck’s sake.
43. Poor Midge, realizing that Joel is stealing material. Thinking at first that someone stole his stuff.
44. THERE IS AN ENTIRE ENORMOUS BOWL OF LEMONS ON THE TABLE! Are they wax? Jesus that’s so many.
45. “It’s fine, everybody does it.” Feh.
46. “When I found out June Friedman stole my meatloaf recipe I almost stabbed her in the eye with a fork.” Big Lorelai vibes.
47. “You’ll learn.” Fuck you, Joel.
48. Midge made another brisket when Baz asked for latkes....
49. Midge is never on time. Just FYI.
50. Joel not getting his way gets shitty. We start to see how terrible he is here. The cracks of her being berated for things she can’t control. Like ted the moth.
51. He’s not a comedian, Midge.
52. LOL Susie. “THE CLEARYS ARE HERE?!”
53. The jerkoff motion lol. Love it.
54. Who here likes Hillbilly polka?! Me! I do!
55. SPOKANE!
56. Watching Joel bomb is rough. I absolutely hate this scene. If there’s one thing this show does well, it’s showing people bomb. And how bad it can be. It really is like chewing tin foil. Like nails on a chalkboard.
57. No one cares about your holey sweater, asshole. You cannot tell a joke.
58. It is so hard to watch. It is so hard to watch. Holy shit. Holy shit just stop stop Joel stop no no no no no no no no no.
59. And of course he blames Midge for his bad performance. Everything is her fault. He cannot take responsibility for his lack of talent. It has to be her fault.
60. And she’s trying to be supportive. She’s trying to be kind about this. And he’s just...awful.
61. Like i get that this was a bad night for him, but his lack of ability to deal with his life is atrocious.
62. And he’s leaving her because suddenly this isn’t what he wants, even though he’s been relying on her for their whole marriage. He loves it when things go right. He cannot deal when things don’t go his way.
63. “Nobody’s happy, it’s Yom Kippur.”
64. “he was in Buchenwald, throw him a bone!” lol I love this line. It’s a particular bit of very Jewish gallows humor that’s hard to come by in pop culture, and it’s what sold me on the show when I watched it for the first time.
65. She had no idea this was actually his dream. He never told her. They never talked about his dreams, or her wants. They don’t talk to each other.
66. BECAUSE YOU KILLED IT. It’s true.
67. “Do you know what a dream is?” What a terrible - god dammit.
68. YOU NEVER TALK TO HER ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU NEVER TALK AND SO SHE HAS NO IDEA! You fucking asshole. God damn. 
69. You cannot expect your partner to know everything without telling them. That’s just moving the goal posts around day after day. Jesus.
70. “I will be better. I will do better.” Poor Midge. god dammit.
71. He is so awful. I cannot believe I sit through scenes of this terrible man. He is the fucking worst. And he has been from fucking jump, and he’s only gotten marginally better.
72. “SO YOU”LL TELL YOUR PARENTS FOR ME?!” WHAT THE FUCK!
73. Joel Maisel is the WoooOOOOooOOOOOOooorst!
74. “I’m sorry.” You’re not sorry at all.
75. Though I think that was the only time he ever really said it.
76. I love how much Abe loves television.
77. “What did you do?” Ugh. Ugh.
78. “That was about deli, too.” lol
79. omg Rose. Her character development is amazing.
80. “You cannot survive this.” Yeah she can.
81. Girl I’d get drunk too.
82. favorite gif:
Tumblr media
83. It’s a Pyrex. My Pyrex.
84. Joel did not want to be challenged. He wanted to be coddled.
85. Midge her shirt was on inside out because she put it back on after fucking your husband girl.
86. THEM TITTIES
87. LENNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Tumblr media
88. For how much of an unforgiving hardass Susie can be, she also is very sympathetic to Midge when she’s falling apart
89. One standing ovation, everyone goes home pregnant.
90. lol eating chips on Yom Kippur mood.
91. 10 in the morning?!
92. You’re not my wife.
93. Their chemistry from jump was just amazing. He was only supposed to be a bit part and...yeah. They just...the way they look at each other, even from the beginning.
94. And she just waits patiently for him to finish his schtick. She knows he’s just gotta work through his little song and dance to get to her answer. They have a rhythm from the beginning.
95. THE FUCK BOY SHRUG.
Tumblr media
96. Yeah. He loves it.

McDanno and their "work" relationship problems in 6x11. The more I rewatch this, the more I see this:
"I don't want to sit next to him (Steve) for a number of reasons", says Danny to Alissa. "Plus, I don't want to have to, you know, jump over him, give him a lap dance if I got to go use the little boys' room".
Steve's face when he hears "no sitting next to him", "no lap dance":
Tumblr media
(Danny's pov: "When he is so close, when I feel him, um... it drives me crazy and... Oh, great. I'm trying to confess and he... he's making "Stop this, Williams" face. Ok, I'll stop".)
"Yeah, see, the state of Hawaii mandates that we do 24 hours of therapy every working year, and so we packed it into one weekend and we're gonna make a, uh... a brocation out of it", says Steve to Alissa.
Danny's face when he hears "brocation":
Tumblr media
(Steve: "Brocation, Danny. Hear this, you little annoying sweet... BROcation. What will you say, huh? Yeah, you said "no sitting next to you, no lap dance" so know how it hurts. By the way please, please, say there's nothing bro in our relationship. Say that you hate incest or something... Danny?").
Steve wants them to have a nice evening. "Well, you know, I-I have a girlfriend, so I don't think I'm gonna be much use", says Danny.
Tumblr media
"Why don't you relax?" - that's Steve's answer.
Ok. Why does it sound like "Why Melissa? Why do you live in that constant stress? In forced relationship? Why... Look, I'M HERE", hmm? 😉 (Oh, and he doesn't even remember about Lynn).
(Danny's pov: "Alissa? Alissa and her buddy? Seriously, Steven?! I dream about a night with YOU, you know... just me and you finally together... This night, next day, forever. And you... You wanna take some girls?! Can't you see that... Ugh. You shmuck. You pissed me off. But I won't tell you. I will say "girlfriend". "I've got girlfriend". And I won't go with you. I will go to our room and you know what... I'm gonna cry alone in the darkness").
"You, uh, you signed us up for couples therapy. You're an idiot", says Danny.
Tumblr media
Steve's face aka "Idiot? Oh, Dan, how... Easy, McGarrett. Just easy. Pretend you are sorry".
(Danny: "Don't you see that... Arrgh. Idiot!").
"Why are you still here?", Keren asks. Steve:
Tumblr media
Face #1 aka Excuse me? DON'T.
Tumblr media
Face #2 aka Why? Why?! Cause there's a very serious problem!
Tumblr media
Steve's face: "We're here cause Danny doesn't see, uh, very obvious things. And, you know, I'm deeply frustrated".
(By the way... look at Danny 😂 "Well... Um... We're here cause... You know, it's Steve's fault. It's... Steve's fault. And, you know, our dear governor sees MORE than this... this "supposed to be Super Seal" does. Yeah, Steve is fucking blind som... Always").
Keren about Steve and Danny: "They're not a couple".
Keren's husband: "They're stuck in a relationship they can't get out of, they fight all the time and they don't have sex".
Steve:
Tumblr media
Face aka Yeah. It's me. I'm stuck in "I'm in love with my best friend and... I don't know".
Tumblr media
"Oh, Danno. I don't wanna talk about it with a therapist. Damn, you are my best friend. You are the only person... I should share my secrets just with you, you know. But I can't. It's... not easy. Damn".
(Danny: "Keren's guy is right, you know? Oops, no. You don't know! I would talk with you but... Being in love with your best friend is a tragedy... sometimes").
Tumblr media
Steve's face aka Yeah. So many years together. No sex. Huh, no kisses! No "I'm in love with you, Steven" or "Be my hubby, bff". I'm grateful for his friendship. It means a world, you know. But I like him AND love him and can't have both. Face aka "whoah, whoah, WAIT...".
Tumblr media
"That Keren's guy sees that, a stranger sees that and...".
Tumblr media
"And my Super Sherlock... *sob*".
Loraine: Note his caring, loving and gentle touch.
Tumblr media
Steve's face aka Thank you, Loraine!
Tumblr media
Face aka Can you say it louder, Loraine? I wanna Danny to hear that.
Tumblr media
(Danny: "I hate you, I hate you, you don't love me. You pushed me! You wanna have drinks with girls, I hate you so much...").
Tumblr media
Steve aka Oops, Danny is hurt. I'm a jerk, I know. Oh Danno, I only wanted to make you jealous... You know... Sometimes I feel that you love me like I love you but sometimes I have no hope. Green light, Danno. Just give me more green light.
Steve: You awake?
Danny:
Tumblr media
This is the face "Seriously? Would you sleep knowing that I went somewhere with someone and... Oh fuck you!".
Steve: You ever hear of the power of positive thinking, Danny?
Danny:
Tumblr media
Danny "So you think I'm Mr Negative, ha? Wait! That's why... Why you and I can't..." Williams.
Tumblr media
Steve aka Why we can't just kiss aka Life is not fair. #too tired #don't wanna do a cargument in bed, Danno
Loraine: This is about you and Steve.
Tumblr media
Steve: This is not about me. (#life is cruel)
(Danny: "Whoa, whoa, NOT about YOU?! ALL what I say and do is because of you!!!).
Danny: *talking about the past with Rachel* (and it doesn't matter that he's bitter, very bitter - right, Steve? 😉).
Steve's reaction:
Tumblr media
Danny:
Tumblr media
Looking like "Ok, I was so honest. I... I said: Let's not overanalyze everything in our lives, Steven. I said: That's enough when guys love each other, Steven. I said: That's enough to ME, Steven. I said: That's commitment. You... Still don't understand, Steven".
Tumblr media
Steve *sarcastically*: I really feel like we made some progress here this morning. That was really good. Really good stuff!
Danny: *talking about Rachel again*
Steve:
Tumblr media
Danny: *literally saying that Rachel wanted to save their marriage and he... he didn't want, his heart didn't want that*
What Steve hears: I WONDER WHAT IF...
Tumblr media
Steve: MAYBE YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE MET ME - HOW ABOUT THAT?! (jealous Steve is jealous)
Danny:
Tumblr media
*Oh, THAT would be a real tragedy* *So good I have you, babe. Just... have you*.
Tumblr media
*Yeah, we're so lucky, so happy together* (Both: "Hmm... I should be more positive. Yeah, be positive, man. Try. Maybe you will see the green light. Maybe he... Maybe he, you know...").
Danny is like "I'll share that burger... No. I'll give him my burger. Steve, it's a sign. I'm giving it to you and imagine that this burger is... my heart".
Tumblr media
Steve:
Tumblr media
Being like "I love your burger! But... Danny. We are here together and we don't do the things together... I need your presence, sunshine. All the time".
Danny is like:
Tumblr media
Touch my hand. That soap is great. Feel me. I'm here. I love you.
(you know what, Steve was right from the very beginning - they should have tried that soap just when they came there! 😁)

hey, my therapist thinks i might be bipolar and I’m really scared. it makes sense but it’s not something that I had thought about
I don’t know what to do what if I am bipolar??? im so worried that my friends will see me in a different way and I can’t loose them, I need them there all I have. I don’t know anyone that is bipolar and I have no support groups for bipolar disorder near me the closest one is almost 4 hours away. are people really going to see me so differently? Is being bipolar as bad as it sounds? Would meditation help or make it worse? I know nothing and I’m so worried about what’s going to happen. I know nothing about being bipolar. I’m sorry for the rambling I don’t know what to do, I’m just looking for help here.
-Axel
Hey there, sorry for my rambling, and thanks for stopping by.
Basically, I can assure you that all of us who were diagnosed went through something like this.
It's a long process, not gonna lie, but a good way to start is researching this condition. If you like books, fiction, or nonfiction (though I suggest non-fiction first), a quick google search will give you plenty of suggestions. My fav being Kay Redfield Jamieson, p.h.d. There are also movies, some more realistic than others. Probably among the top three is "Touched with Fire".
Anyway, once you get the basics and perhaps come to the conclusion that your therapist was right, you step on the path towards recovery and acceptance. (Not talking about full recovery since bipolar is a chronic condition)
1. You are still you
I know how deeply profoundly sucky the point of view becomes. You might see life through lenses of this illness, even yourself, your interests, and so on. But the cliché is true: your illness doesn't define you.
2. Acceptance isn't linear
Maybe unconventional, but I found that worrying and thinking about bipolar 24/7 made it worse. Some days I'll feel normal, some days I'll curse the day I was born. I'll mourn the losses I suffered from this illness, but I also will remember that there are is light.
3. This illness is dangerous
So many of us underestimated the consequences( of particularly mania). Depression is well known nowadays, but mania is often romanticised, glorified, and brushed aside. Meds, if prescribed, are your weapon.
4. What happened sucks, but...
Reexamine your life, goals, ambitions, needs, and wants. Even though I refused to accept the diagnosis at first, I still forced the evaluation. Because I felt my life was ruined, I, for the first time, realized what was truly important to strive for. Plus, I got rid of many universal bad habits. But it's okay to take time. Please take time, self care and love are priorities.
5. Let others be
This is probably the hardest part. Some people never tell they are bipolar. But having Carrie Fisher for an inspiration made me stop hiding. Either way, some will leave, and some will stay. It's not your job to educate them, to force their narrow views wide, to in any way lose your energy over their ignorance. BUT. Others will actually try to understand. Your friends, I dare say, will want to help, be there, because you are you, and this is just an illness. Be patient and kind with those. Family is trickier, but in the end, they love you. Remember, when someone leaves, it's their loss. However, in the 21st century, people tend to be more open-minded. I never received a negative comment from my peers. When I "came out," people were kind and gentle, even though I expected them to start throwing stuff at me, literally.
I am certain that you will find your own way of dealing with this load. You will grow and evolve, like a beautiful flower, and this will seem easier, with each step down the road. You can find many successful and happy people with this condition. I personally cannot live without mediation, yoga, my dog, my wonderful friends, and yearly Skam rewatches. These keep me grounded, even when I punch my pillow in frustration, because goddamn universe why me.
Finding your way is therapeutic. the internet offers great advice, people gave great lectures, and you can even find podcasts, specifically about bipolar disorder. But in the end, it's just an illness, yes, a giant part of you, but also the unimportant part. Your thoughts, emotions, interests, desires, and more - this is you - and more. and more. infinite. a whole universe. perfect. While bipolar is merely a dot. And if you two are ever in opposition, my bet will always be on you.
If this is remotely close to an answer, I am glad. If not, my dms are open. Or if I can help in any way, don't hesitate to let me know. With Love,
x

Hey! I’ve been in the mcyt sphere for a while now but I’ve recently been wanting to start watching foolish because I’ve only really interacted with his content when he was in streams of people that I already watched (Sapnap, quackity I also watch george a bunch but him and foolish like barely interact 😅) but I’ve really enjoyed the boys and pieces I’ve seen and watched the name your price he was on and enjoyed it so much! Do you have any foolish vods that you love or that you’d recommend to someone trying to get into his content?
zomg absolutely....
okay so this gta rp stream is some of the funniest content foolish has ever made hands down
then we have this gem where he teaches skeppy how to build and then plays rock stimulator so it's really chill and fun vibes
i have rewatched this portion of his first 24 hour stream so many times its unreal,, it's just him playing valo with gumi around i wanna say maybe 3-4 am and they were absolutely losing it,, just kept doing impressions of punz and mickey and goofy literally cried laughing when i saw it live
honestly any of his building streams are amazing but the chaos of the dxd statue and his slow descent into madness makes this worth watching (think he worked on it for about 2ish weeks so any day u watch will be good vibes)
overcooked with karl + punz + tina is literally such a staple foolish stream u just gotta watch
i also reallyyyyy enjoyed him playing plate up + left 4 dead with a bunch of people like this stream had great vibes <333
i feel like there's so many vods i can recommend but i hope these are good to start u off :] wasn't sure what type of content u were looking for so i threw a bunch of everything in

how do ya think the octonauts crew would deal with being sleep deprived (mainly barnacles 😳) ? i was rewatching the show recently and there’s quite a few moments where they’re woken up in the middle of the night to help creatures so it just got me thinking :O
I feel like Barnacles has absolutely fallen asleep at the wheel once, which was followed by everyone yelling at him until he went to sleep. They all knew he was tired, they could tell, but he insisted he was fine (as he does), and he was not (as he never is).
Tweak is the most fussy about making sure he goes to sleep. Yes, she knows she's a hypocrite. Sometimes if neither of them can sleep for whatever reason, Barnacles comes down to the launch bay, or they both go up to the gamepod, and they play games until they pass out. Tweak also takes melatonin to help her sleep, but she takes it at a specific time, so if she misses that designated time because they're on a mission she just doesn't take them. Cue her playing video games or working on the GUPs until 4am.
Pirates are made for nighttime adventures—or at least that's what Kwazii thinks, so he'll intentionally stay awake long after he starts getting tired. Barnacles and Tweak have caught him doing this several times, and usually invite him to join their games. He's always the first to pass out when this happens. Kwazii also has a habit of sneaking out to go on "monster hunts" if no one else is awake, and similar to Barnacles I feel like he's definitely fallen asleep at the wheel doing this, in the middle of nowhere, freaking everyone out when they wake up and he's missing.
Shout out to Dashi for being the only Octonaut with a relatively healthy sleep schedule. However, Shellington loves to knock on her door just to wake her up and talk whenever he can't sleep. Peso does it too, but only if she's already awake. If he wakes her up he'll feel bad and go back to bed. It's actually hard for her to fall asleep (it takes a while), she's just good at managing it: she takes melatonin, she plays music/white noise because she can't sleep without it, she cleans and makes her bed, she has a whole ritual. She NEEDS this ritual or else she simply will not sleep. The only exception is if she's been awake for 24+ hours already and she's exhausted.
Shellington falls asleep VERY easily. Like, impressively easily—but he also wakes up very easily. He needs to turn his lab into a sensory deprivation room just to ensure he stays asleep. If he still can't sleep, the Vegimals will climb into bed with him and curl up like cats. It's very effective. If, for some reason, he doesn't want to sleep, he will go down to the launch bay or gamepod to join Barnacles and Tweak, if they're there. He's known about them doing that together since he joined the crew, and if he's bored at 2am he may just take advantage of it. One time, he and Kwazii BOTH joined them, and none of them ended up sleeping at all.
Peso preaches to the others about how important sleep is for your health, but he is more than willing to stay awake for a week straight if he's looking after a patient. He has done so at least a few times. However, Barnacles really doesn't like when Peso doesn't sleep (it's the Dad Instincts™), so he will offer to stay up for him. Usually it works, or so he thinks. Peso has a monitor in the sick bay connected to the screen in his room, it tells him his patients heart rate, blood pressure, other stats, etc. and he'll often stay awake, just... staring at it. Kwazii knows he does this, and will check in on him right before he sneaks out. He hasn't ratted him out yet, but he says he will if he doesn't go to bed (he won't really, but Peso doesn't know that).
Inkling is pretty much nocturnal. He spends so many hours sleeping in his chair during the day, that he's not at all tired when night finally comes around. On the bright side, he does enjoy the dark (being a creature whose supposed to be from the midnight zone and all that), and it's good to have at least one person awake to keep an eye on the ship, or listen for someone who needs help knocking on the door. If they're not with Shellington, the Vegimals like to keep Inkling company. They play board games and watch movies in the library, or sometimes Inkling will read them stories. He also likes to call Min. Depending on where they are in the world, it might still be daytime for her. If not, he leaves her a video message of himself just talking about stuff, or the Vegimals being silly.

Hazbin Hotel season 1 review
Last night, I finally watched the last two episodes of Hazbin Hotel's season 1. And this is going to be a non-spoiler review. Even though I feel like I should spoil some stuff towards the end of the review. A heads up before you read this.
Anyway, in 2019, I was one of the many who watched and really liked the pilot of Hazbin Hotel on YouTube. I along with many people waited for four to almost five years for the official show to premiere. I was also happy that the show was picked up.
This is all going to be my opinion and I want to talk about some other things too. So, expect this to be long. Because it's going to be a lengthy read possibly. Including I am trying to get better because I've been sick for a few days. Which has been really bothering me. But I'll be okay, I've slowly been getting better.
Also, I had wondered if I should rewatch the last two episodes. But I want to write this review anyway.
Anyway, yes, I like Hazbin Hotel. I also like Helluva Boss, which I'm glad we had that before Hazbin premiered. I've waited years for this show to officially air on a streaming service. And what do I think about it. In a nutshell, I genuinely liked it.
In all seriousness when I think about it. The waiting for this show feels like it was worth it. The animation is top notch, especially as the episodes go on. The animators do such a fantastic job with the visuals. All the voice actors do a splendid job. And the musical parts, the performances in those songs. Those are truly the highlights of the show. There's a lot of good songs throughout this season. Some really stand out. Some of my favorites were honestly "Loser, Baby", "More Than Anything", and seriously, all of them are good in their own right.
And the humor was fine at times too. I do feel like maybe it's my sickness really affecting my mindset with how I feel. Or I just wanted to laugh out loud more at some moments. But I sadly didn't do that. Yet the humor is fine. Some of it is hit and miss and it turns out I'm not the only one who thinks this.
I also want to talk about something concerning the show. And what I feel like is a problem for me personally. Because in all seriousness, the show is fine. In fact, I wouldn't mind it being 8 episodes...if the episodes were 30 minutes long instead of 24 minutes.
Before the finale premiered. I didn't want to talk about this. But when the finale was closing in. To me personally at first, this show felt more like a possible limited series instead of a first season. Because I legit felt like the idea that Charlie is already dealing with Heaven now this quick seems...kind of insane. Including the finale, we have the final battle with the exorcists? It felt like we were already at the series finale. Like, we were speed running things. Especially the fact instead of 13 episodes something like Hilda would do with its first two seasons. But instead, we have 8 episodes with 24 minutes. Like...that's 192 minutes and that's 3.2 hours. That's essentially the length of an extended cut for a movie. And as I've grown older, I've realized with the more time you have for a show or a movie, you can properly use to develop characters and other things.
I genuinely question if the 8 episodes were Amazon's decision or anything else. Because I'm aware showrunners aren't in control of how many episodes they are given. I'm hoping that for season 2, they are given more episodes. Because 8 episodes felt very short with that time frame. Granted, I liked the episodes and what we were given. But there's also another thing.
I think I expected a bit much from season 1. Considering Vivziepop or Vivienne as I should call her has said Hazbin is darker than Helluva Boss. Which...says a lot to me. But again, I expected a lot more out of season 1 because it felt like they were speed running some things.. Yet season 1 was essentially setting up more of the world.
I'm wondering what else to say. Like, I'm going to reveal some major spoilers in the next paragraph. The finale does end with some things that legit made me REALLY want a season 2 right away. Because holy crap, there are things that they need to follow up on.
The whole thing with Pentious getting into Heaven, that's game changing when you realize Charlie's hotel actually worked. But what about Adam? Is he going to go through a similar thing instead he's stuck in Hell? Who the Hell has Alastor on a leash? Because they did not reveal that yet. And why the Hell has Lilith been in Heaven for the past seven years? Which also likely destroys that theory that Lilith was the having Alastor on a leash.
Also, there are other little details I've wondered about because it while the pilot is canon. There have been little changes. Like, I legit question is Charlie still 200 years old? Or did they change because I legit question how she ages when everyone considers her young. And is Angel still Italian or is he Bronx now considering how he spoke at times. I'm remembering the details Vivienne confirmed before Hazbin was picked up for an official series. Because some details may have changed. Including Vaggie's "Date of death in 2014" not being a thing possibly...because of the twist that she's an angel.
Anyway, despite my complaints. The show isn't bad. The characters are entertaining and there are some arcs going on. The thing with Husk and Angel is going to be a slow building one which I like. And I always did love Charlie and Vaggie. I honestly wished we had more of Charlie's raw reaction when she found out Vaggie is an angel. And it's rather strange how I wanted Charlie to go full on ape shit in the last two episodes. Because that girl was in her darkest moment during that time. But while I loved her, "FUCK YOU, YOU OLD BITCH!" which is honestly haha. Honestly, I'm talking about more what I wanted or expected the show to do. And I feel like an angrier Charlie wouldn't have helped during episode 8. Also...I'm not saying Charlie is weak but despite being the Princess of Hell...Adam really kicked her ass before Lucifer came along, like damn. She's still strong though.
I think I've said enough. But I want to say something else too. You know, with all the controversies this show gets and there are things I agree with. I'm going to sound like a fucking douchebag. If some or a lot of these folks focused all their anger and energy into the kind of shit I have been trying to help with. Or maybe simply ignore the show...I don't wanna talk about it. But it's something that's been eating at my mind.
Anyway, yeah, I enjoyed the show. Maybe I should watch it all in one go considering how short the season is. And despite its flaws, it's an enjoyable show and I'm really intrigued with what they will do with season 2. I'm hoping they have more episodes next time though.

FanFiction ask game 4,24,40,75 please ☺️
HIII @liz8080!!! Thank you so much for the ask! 4. How do you choose which fics to write? they tend to chose themselves... no i'm serious. I start off with an idea (sometimes), and start to write and then the story goes yeahhhhhh we aren't feeling that you are going to go.... HERE. And there we go lol. Sometimes its just sitting at the computer going "ok- what are we writing today, let's find out" and them 4 hours later looking at it going "huh... ok." Not very technical I know, but that is like 90% of the stories lol. I have only really plotted one out with an outline, and by chapter 4 the story was off to the races laughing at me Guardian. 24. How do you choose whose POV to write in? Hmmm, that I think depends on the story and how I want to tell it. So I have one I am working on where Inuyasha is trying to make stovetop ramen for the first time, so it is in his POV. Other times I am in Kagome's. I tend to write in Inuyasha's POV I have noticed, but usually thats because I relate to him as a character, the outsider that is just kinda on the fringes, hides his emotions because then no one can hurt him, so I get him. I will say this... writing in Sesshomaru's POV is HARD...
40. What is your favorite world that you’ve created for a fic?
That would probably be the I Object World. I know a lot of people would think Guardian, but I Object was really personal, and yeah its based in New York which I know Very Very well, but at the same time, it was creating a new version of it that was more integrated with humans and yokai, but also not.
Though I do have to say I am also loving the Sense and Sensibility world, but that is lovingly borrowed from Jane Austen, so I don't take credit for it!
75. Is there a particular fic that readers gravitated towards that you didn’t expect?
So one is Just Tell Me What He Did..., it started as a reason for @neutronstarchild and I to rewatch Inuyasha... you know just to take note of all the modern era episodes... really... we swear... and it was just fun to write. When we added a surprise last chapter, it took off, when it was our way of explaining how all the cleanup in the modern era was accomplished, thinking Sesshomaru would absolutely still be alive, but its funny, and we love it!
The other is Soul in the Beast's Eyes, another collab written with Neutron. It is a birthday fic for Elkonigin, and focused on an Inuyasha whose demon took over at a young age and didn't release control until he was much older, and how that demon would react to an injured Kagome, taking care of her, and them slowly starting to love each other. It was a blast to write, and the fact that so many people have enjoyed it and love it really in some ways surprised me and also made me smile.

Thank you so much for the questions!!!!!!

10 star reviews about The Rings of Power 💚
The first season isn't even finished yet and already I have recommended this show to friends and family more than any previous media. Every episode so far (5 released) have surpassed my expectations, which were fairly high going in. As someone who has read all of Tolkien's published works (some more than I'd care to admit), anyone saying that "Tolkien is turning in his grave" has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. It was always going to be walking a thin line between creative choices and already established canon, but I can see, so far anyway, that they have absolutely aced it. If the show continues to be as great as it has thus far, I can see this being one of the all time great masterpieces of TV history, and for many years to come. It's incredibly rare that I won't have criticisms of some kind, especially for something I am passionate about, and the only criticism I have of the Rings of Power is that I can't listen to the sound track 24 hours a day, because I have to sleep at some stage. Bear McCreary has written a masterpiece worthy of being pinned up on the wall with Howard Shore's work from the Lord of the Rings.
                                                         🧝
Don't listen to the negative reviews. Some people have an idea of what something should be in their own mind. I too have read mostly all of Tolkien's books. You form a world in your mind from those words. It's yours it's personal. This show is Magnificent. It's a big bold dive into Middle Earth. Beautifully filmed and acted. The first too episodes are structured in a way to set a scene for the multiple storylines for multiple characters which as the series progresses will merge in to one common fight against the darkness. It's absolutely fantastic and if you don't watch it because of someone's snobby 1/10 then you will be missing out.   
                                                        🧙‍♂️
I can't believe people who are giving this such negative reviews. Who cares if it's not the way you think it should be portrayed because of your version of what you think you read from his original works. It is fantastically entertaining, incredibly well shot and produced, and while the story lines were slow to get rolling, and I don't necessarily think that some of the characters lineup with how they were portrayed in the Lord of the Rings movies later, it really doesn't matter. These are NEW. I can't wait for each episode to come out, I look forward to watching these every week, and I would love to be able to see all of them in the theater. The first two we saw through a free preview, and I wish I could watch every single episode on a huge screen! Enjoy them for what they are.
                                                          🏹
This is the first prequel I have ever seen that was not a disappointment. I love the acting, the faithfulness to Tolkien's vision, the use of reworked ideas/themes/dialogue from the Lord of the Rings, and the compelling worldbuilding. It is important to remember that this is an interpretation, not an adaptation, as this story is based on timelines in the Appendices to LOTR and not on Tolkien stories. Therefore, the showrunners had to invent story arcs and characters to flesh out the story. If they had note done this, then the show would be boring and empty. They did a great job filling in the gaps and told a story that I have already rewatched many times.
                                                         🧝🏿‍♂️
I almost didn't watch because of other reviews but I've learned to not even pay much attention to them. This feels just like Lord of the Rings to me. It could actually be its own movie. The acting is great, the scenery and graphics are amazing. I've been hooked and entertained since the first episode! Can't wait to see more.

I was putting off watching this for a while but one night I couldn't find anything to watch and I put this on and now I'm glad I did. It's the first thing I look forward to after a long day of work. I think the plot is fantastic. I read a review that said they didn't know where the plot was going but how can you not? It's very easy to follow. I'm in love with the series already.
I am blown away by the quality of this production. There is nothing like it. Although it is not an original story written by JRR Tolkien, it is an interesting one; an important backstory.
Although the story unfolds slowly, like in most series, it has a decent amount of action and suspense. Watch it and indulge yourself in Middle Earth. And about all the criticism... This is my take: To me, there are two Middle Earths. (1) The original one that you have imagined when reading the books. (2) The world created by John Howe, Alan Lee, Peter Jackson, make-up artists, actors, etc., etc. This series fits right into the later one and does it justice.
                                                       🍂
Don't believe those fools who are giving bad ratings and negative reviews. I don't know why so much hate for this show. I'm so obsessed with this show right now and have watched all the six episodes non-stop and wanting more soooo badly. I mean the acting, the scenes, the dialogues and above all the VFX are soooo beautiful put together that will make your mind blown by this masterpiece. I've really enjoyed and didn't look away for a second while watching. It really took me to the place where I couldn't have imagine in my dreams. Please guys stop giving the bad ratings and reviews to a show like this one. This show deserve all the love and not the hate. We all should appreciate the work and efforts put in this show.
                                                        🔮
I think this prequel was beautifully done. The visuals are stunning, and story is excellent. There is a very satisfying last episode of season 1. I'm excited to see more. I had no problem adjusting and accepting the younger version of known characters, specifically Galadriel and Elrond. I think the acting and writing felt true to Middle Earth. I'm a fan of the books (Hobbit, LotR and The Silmarillian) which I read before the movies were released. I'm thrilled to have new Tolkien inspired material even if it's from the imagination of someone else, it is brilliant and a wonderful addition to the Middle Earth lore. There seem to be too many of the instant gratification society who were too impatient to wait for the payoff. Looking at the dates of many of the reviews is frustrating seeing that people couldn't reserve judgement until 10/14 after the season could be viewed as a whole. People have become to used to being able to binge a new show in a few days and not have to wait and dwell over what might happen and the new information presented in each episode. It has been exciting to see it unfold week by week. I'm glad for the return to this method of releasing a new series.

Top Tarlos Scenes
Tagged by @strandnreyes ❤️
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and this is where I've ended up for now (we'll see if it changes once I do a complete rewatch):
The Engagement Scene in 3x18
This is simply the scene for me. In the first 24 hours after it aired, I think I watched it at least 50 times, and then averaged about 10 times a day for the next few weeks, then at least a once a day for months. Every single aspect of the scene is perfect. TK petting Carlos' hair to wake him, Carlos and his lizard trauma, the way Carlos starts out confused and sleepy and we can see him gradually realize what's going on and what it means (especially the moment when he kind of sits up and takes a breath--like he's realizing this is serious, it's really happening!), TK calling Carlos his husband before he even proposes, the abundance of soft and affectionate touches between them throughout the whole thing (don't even get me started on TK playing with Carlos' earlobe I will cry 😭), the tears dripping down both their faces, "TYLER CAN I SAY YES NOW", the forehead touch, that KISS...I could go on and on, but I'll stop.
2. The Soulmates Scene in 4x16
Before season 4 started, I assumed that the wedding would end up being my favorite of the season. But that was before I saw the soulmates scene! It's another scene that couldn't be more perfect and is so beautifully acted by both Ronen and Rafa. With the potential of a Huntington's diagnosis, TK is so scared (for very good reason), but what bothers him most is the thought of Carlos having to face it all alone. I love the way the scene progresses. First, Carlos is clearly very concerned and just trying to wrap his mind around what TK is telling him. Then, TK tries to give him an out and Carlos doesn't even get what he means at first. It's so far from anything he would ever consider. Once Carlos sees what TK is getting at, it's almost funny to him that TK would suggest such a thing. Nothing could be more ridiculous. But Carlos knows exactly what to say. This moment is such a perfect encapsulation of the Tarlos journey in season 4--the way they choose each other again and again with so much unconditional love. If he has to, Carlos will introduce himself to TK every day: "Hi. You're TK. I'm Carlos. And we're soulmates." 😭
3. The Wedding--specifically the vows--in 4x18
The one thing I truly wanted from the wedding was to see the vows in their entirety. We got that, and it honestly exceeded my very high expectations. The vows could not have been more perfect. (In fact, I love them so much that I'm currently spending weeks cross stitching them!) I adore so many lines throughout, but my favorite is "I vow to be the caretaker of your wild heart." They both ended their vows with heart 😭
4. The Decision to Postpone the Wedding in 4x18
This scene is the one I'm most obsessed with from the finale. I could not stop watching it in the days after it aired. It's a short scene, but it had a huge impact on me. The way it starts off with TK asking Carlos to come back to bed and offering to rub his back still makes me want to sob. Then we get a "Tyler," and TK knows what Carlos is going to say, and knows how hard it will be to say, so he doesn't make him be the one to say it. The part that gets me the most is Carlos' voice breaking as he says, "You better not," followed by the forehead touch that mirrors the one in 3x18. Even though it's such a sad scene, it's permeated with so much love throughout. It's truly one of the most beautiful scenes.
5. Coma Wakeup->Loft Scene in 3x04
Since these scenes are back-to-back, I've always counted them as one. It seems fair to me, especially when it's already so hard to narrow Tarlos scenes down to a top 5. At this point, "Hey, baby...breathe," is pretty iconic. Waking up from a coma to tell the love of your life to breathe is definitely soulmate level behavior. And then the loft scene just elevates it all. Seeing them so happy together in their home heals all wounds of the breakup and then some! My favorite moment is when TK looks around the loft and you can see him realize that this is real...he really gets to have this. He got scared and blew it up, but in the end that didn't matter because his soulmate, the love of his life, his future husband is there with his unconditional love, prepared to choose TK over and over again, just like TK is prepared to do for him.

1. IIIIIIIIIIII DON’T WANNA BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT I’VE BEEN TRYNA BE LATELLLLYYYYYYYYYYY.
2. Yo, Whitey waits how long to punish the team for starting to the season with a brawl? In FNL, Smash talks shit on local TV and Coach WAKES THE TEAM UP at like 11 and has them do suicides in the rain.
3. Oh Dan pissing in the pool.
4. Aww, Haley waiting so she can bump into Nathan is so high school. They’re cute when I don’t remember their story. Like I said, I like together Naley but not buildup Naley.

8. Rachel dissing Brooke’s clothes is funny because you all have the same shitty clothes because of OTH’s nonexistent budget.
9.  “Alright, Paris and Nicole’ THESE REFERENCES. OMG I LOVE IT.
10. “If I wanted to watch cheerleaders fighting, I would watch pay-per-view” oh, gross.
11. The fantasy boy draft is funny because the boys have absolutely no say as if a cheerleader is a cheerleader is a cheerleader to them.
12. “Roe Roe Roe your vote. That’s cute!” It’s corny.

9 movies to get to know me!! tagged by @jaskierx
tagging uhhh @meanmisscharles @stedebonnit @wearfinethingsalltoowell @chuplayswithfire and anyone else who wants to
and bc i iove to elaborate, what my deal is with each of these movies under the cut:
The Lion King: childhood obsession movie. baby me was kin with simba. i would crawl on the back of the couch pretending it was pride rock and i would make roaring noises. considering how often i did this i'm surprised i'm not more of a furry now.
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: what can i say. went through a big lotr phase, this one is my favorite bc the battle of helm's deep is my favorite battle/fight scene in the whole series (world?) and also the speech sam gives towards the end makes me cry every time.
Coraline: this movie genuinely scared the shit out of me when i first watched it at some point in high school. it also scared the shit out of my dad. now it's one of my all-time favorite comfort movies and also the stop motion animation fucks
The Shape of Water: i was looking forward to this movie for a full year before it came out and when it did i dragged as many of my friends to go see it as i could. nobody but me enjoyed it. guillermo del toro said monsterfucker rights.
Coco: in senior year of high school i went through a like four-month hyperfixation over this movie that was even more debilitating than my current ofmd obsession. it actually got annoying to me. i watched the movie 8 times in one week, probably something like 17 times total, and i cried at least half of those times). for months i was genuinely unable to have any conversation that wasn't about this movie. my friends hated me. i hated me. it was hell.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier: these days i never think abt this movie but i would be remiss if i didn't give this one a shoutout bc stucky was the world to me in early high school.
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse: if i could only watch one movie for the rest of my life it would be this one. the animation the soundtrack the characters the voice acting the cinematography... the what's up danger scene changed my life.
Venom: this movie is so bad it's good AND it's a monsterfucker romcom. the perfect movie.
Nope: i saw this movie twice in 24 hours and it was even better on the rewatch, which is saying something bc the first watch blew me away. there are so many little details and foreshadowing and shit i wanted to keep pausing the movie to make sure i didnt miss anything. oughguhg the themes the metaphors... em and oj haywood my beloveds.....
