#like its good in s5

[gayspock]

i love it when a tv show has lows that are so low you're so ashamed to ever show it to anyone ever but then highs that melt your brain a bit, like, "good fucking god, this is genuinely such an astounding piece of craftmanship... my perception of the medium, and perhaps of myself, has been challenged/changed in 40 minutes" but you cant even express that to ppl without feeling like youre fucking deranged bc my god the lows .....

#Egg.txt #sorry i saw gar watched Hush recently and like #my god thats such a good episode of television . like sincerely fucking solid. like damn man. #and theres other eps of buffy i'd rank among that i.e a certain s5 episode that just still gives me chills to think about #but this also goes for trek + doctor who + farscape + and any and every lame little campy show out there #that just needs to fuck your head wide open sometimes #maybe that why i have enjoyed bsg but i havent like fucking Melded with it yet because its highs and its lows are both there but it doesnt #ever touch the extremes of either #i need something so so bad and so so good at once that makes mefeel like im insane #god i might go rewatch some tos soon #but yeah ok abt bsg maybe its alsojust #laccking a sincerity to it sometimes #and not just in how its a darker/grittier #but just in general i feel like .........hm. idk.. #let me ponder

what was with cameron house md she spends 90% of the episode saying she wants their patient to die bc he's a genocidal dictator and her colleague husband says "babe it bothers me for ethical reasons that you want our patient to die :(" and she said "hm maybe you're right :/" but when it comes down to it the genocidal dictator lays a finger on her in an aggressive manner and chase instantly commits medical malpractice to murder the guy and then when he tells her she LEAVES HIM bc boo hoo he's a murderer now like GIRL he killed a man for you!!! he's wracked with catholic guilt!!! he's being crushed beneath the weight of his sins because he chose his devotion to you over his devotion to god!!! he literally could not get any sexier at this moment in time!!!

#girl what are you doing...... #also just in general she did not deserve him honestly he was so good to her and for WHAT #just to be abandoned at peak devotion and guilt and hotness 🙄 #girl get OUT of my way i'm stronger than you #if she cared she could fix him or make him worse but i could love and support him no matter what 😌 #his muder is a part of him and its SEXY #robert chase #house md #malpractice md #i know the actors broke up irl or whatever but wtf..... #i should have ended my rewatch w their happy lil wedding at the end of s5 #s6 everything instantly goes to shit #and stays shitty #chase should be happy fr #he's supposed to turn into house basically but they should have made him the well adjusted version of house #like how nightwing is the well adjusted version of batman #anyway i have no real point here i just lowkey dont like cameron bc of this arc #also her obsession w house is so weird i wish they hadn't made that a thing #this has been a shitpost #anyway she left chase at the absolute peak of his sexiness wtf....... #anyway since this apparently needs to be said its not that deep this is a silly post if you send me hate messages i wont answer #i block and ignore anon hate bc i am too busy touching grass to be rude to strangers over a tv show

Thinking about the what if El was never interested in Mike romantically, she just assumed she was discourse on the tag today and how it's very possible what could make El fully realize this, is when in s5 she see's Will's love for Mike in real time, for the first time, and she's just like damn! That is not me!

#byler #no but arguably that already happened.. #remember that! you're the heart #el listening: you're the what now?? im sorry but that's corny as hell. could not be me! #i feel like this could be how el confronts will in s5 about lying to mike #i think it's interesting they had that talk with will and el about her lying to him with will calling her out #if to not circle back to it in some way for her to be like hypocrite much? #tho i doubt that's how it would happen #i have a feeling el is going to understand in will's case in contrast to her and mike's argument #like will and el are siblings so yeah they fight #but i just get the feeling she's going to sense something is up with them (already does) #and something big will happen and i feel like she's going to see the truth before they're able to #and i think will is probably going to realize last because he really does not think it could ever happen now #and also because of el i think will would feel like its wrong unless he was confident she would be okay with it #so i could totally see will not allowing himself to be happy in that sense even if he realized mike could return his feelings #but by then mike's already made his peace with el and they're good #UGHHGHHG s5 arrive now! #no but isn't it kind of side eye that they've never shown us el be confronted with mike and wills friendship at all? #like in s1 and s3 at the end Mike mentions will in his plans with el #and that's about where it ends #we have not seen her exposed to their dynamic and like reacting to it before #UNTIL THE END OF S4!!!

so I thought of a new byler fic idea and now I'm wondering if I should start writing the first chapter knowing damn well I already have my main WIP that I'm working on. Buuuut, I think I could realistically do both without sacrificing any more time than I already do with my ever-changing writing schedule, so should I just go for it??

#byler #byler fic #will byers #mike wheeler #byler fanfic #stranger things #st #not to oversimplify #but it's a story where Will transports to another timeline/reality in which he never came back from the upside down #and it takes place around 1987 #where i personally think s5 is gonna pick back up at #i think it'll be a good fic to explore Will and how he perceives himself in other people's lives #because its a unique situation where one can actually see what their life would have turned out like without them in it #kind of like 'its a wonderful life'

I still can’t believe there are people who think that Will “I’m not gonna fall in love, just kidding I am in love already but I think I’ve been rejected so let’s rip off the bandaid” Byers isn’t going to get what he wants…in a show whose whole premise started with his abduction and is, by it’s creators own repeated admission, both going to focus on him the final season + about championing the underdog and the outcast.

It really is that simple, because once you know what the Duffers value...even if you haven’t dug that far into the show, it’s obvious where the “it started with Will, it will end with Will” is taking us based on tropes alone, if you listen to anything The Duffers say about their themes and narrative goals.

You don't even need color coding or parallels to other media to sort through it, because outside of any "but it was the 80s" commentary or "they would never break up the flagship couple" talk...Byler is literally just the logical thematic conclusion for Will's arc as the full embodiment of the outcasted, childlike AND the underdog, even if you don't like what they did to get our characters there.

Like? Will is literally the boy who represents the duffers love of being a “child at heart” and taking things you adored from your youth into being a grown up (see: their entire mf show being based on DnD and the media they loved as kids) on top of being a queer, poor, and regularly disrepected character.

He is the textbook representation of the outcast and underdog energy The Duffers love, to the point where you could hardly fit more "marginalized and imperfect" checkboxes into him without making him poc...and yet people actually believe he is going to be rejected not because there is no setup, or because there is no precedence for the storyline but solely because his love interest (who also has a non-conformity storyline and who is already making heart eyes at him) is currently dating a girl...and it would be "realistic" for him to get rejected? ☠️

Not to mention...I haven't even touched on how byler resolves Mike's own thematic issues and it already makes the most sense? Like?

How do you miss the most obvious plot twist setup in history not because its not blatantly set up, but because you’re homophobic? It really does have to be the blindness of heteronormativity thats driving most of this, because if you were a media literate homophobe, you would be screaming at the Duffers for doing it, not denying it’s happening at all. But ☕️

#byler #anti mlvn #duffer brothers #i am simply not blind enough for the foolishness of taking homophobes seriously tbh #their complaints are rooted in nonsense half the time #and yes this is kind of an offshoot of the 'bad writing' commentary of the tutor but #I swear on my LIFE knowing what good writing and a clear setup looks like makes byler so obvious its laughable #there's just no other thing they could be setting up with the choices they've made. everything else rings hollow #AND PEOPLE KNOW IT?!?! #mlvns saying things like 'it makes sense that mike and el have a less prominent role together in S5 but they won't break them up' #BABES LISTEN TO YOURSELF?!?! #the biggest season of the show and you think they're gonna let the 'flagship couple' be MID?! #Matt 'if its bad writing I'm not doing that shit' Duffer wouldn't even consider it. and its time you accepted that too 🤣 #ANYWAY #my st commentary #stranger things

i have literally been unpacking the fukuchi/fukuzawa situation since watching last night and while i feel sorry for fukuchi and i empathize with him and his motives, i still highkey do not LIKE him.

now that we've seen the culmination of his arc, i was right that his major M.O./character trait is to deny people choice, even IF denying people choice is to save them. using the book. using one order. fucking with literal time and space to negate the choices of OTHERS.

and then finally what he pulled with fukuzawa at the end there.

and like? that behavior is SUPER antithetical to BSD's anti-authoritarian core themes as a whole. think about dazai's speech to kyouka...that the only thing people truly have is the ability to make choices and to agonize over those choices.

even by LITERALLY DYING, he's denied fukuzawa the right to choose his role in this. even if fukuzawa can't kill him, he'll die anyway, and burden fukuzawa with a role he DOES NOT WANT, and a choice that he KNOWS will cause him immeasurable pain.

and seriously??? i don't think he would leave that choice to fukuzawa unless he knew there was a high chance fukuzawa would go through with his plan.

(hell, fukuchi's entire relationship with teruko--his closest confidant, the only OTHER person he seems to trust--is based in unwavering, unquestioning loyalty. to the point where she'll kill him JUST because he ordered her to, in spite of the fact that this is literally the last thing she wants to do.)

and like...i definitely don't think the ramifications of fukuchi's actions are over yet whatsoever. like, shit. obviously.

if anything, i think the theme of choice is going to come back around big time. fukuzawa has, uh, some big decisions to make lmao, and i'm hoping that more rational characters like dazai and mori have some bearing on those choices.

more than anything, i'm hoping that ranpo finally asserts himself with fukuzawa and pushes him toward an answer that doesn't involve self-sacrifice.

(this is going to get messy...i'll be surprised if it doesn't.)

i think the best outcome here is the story playing with the idea that humanity is collaborative. no one person should EVER have the power to control others. our actions effect each other, for better or worse. we all deserve to have a say in what happens.

that's literally baked into fukuzawa's character! he says it on screen RIGHT before this happens! so to see him struggling with this is...concerning and painful, even though i genuinely think (I HOPE???) he'll make a rational choice here. even if it's a struggle to make.

but...idk. yeah. i feel sorry for fukuchi, i really do, but i don't think he's a good guy in this story by a longshot.

#fukufuku #fukuchi #fukuzawa #bsd meta #bsd s5 #bsd spoilers #im unpacking!!! there's a lot to unpack!!! #fukuchi is one of those characters where its like...man i just cannot get behind him. i like that he's sympathetic but also like #he's the worst?? he's absolutely the worst. #he's got like all of mori's and dazai's controlling behaviors turned up to eleven with NONE of the self-awareness!!! #also i am bracing myself for an increase in authoritarian left fascism discourse in the BSD fandom lmao #i exactly don't trust the “kill urself prosh*pper” fandom to not be like #''uhmm fukuchi is right and fascism is good actually if it controls and eliminates Bad Guys aka the ppl i dont like :)" #wow that got heavy there lmao #anyway i feel ~insane~ how are all of you holding up??

Hey guys, saw people complaining about felix trying to kiss ladybug without her consent in season 3 and it’s so fine to be uncomfy with it, that was kind of the point, but just wanted to give a little more context bc a lot of people havent seen the episode since it aired like four years ago???

the reason felix tried to kiss ladybug without her consent is he was desperate to get his own amok from hawkmoth,,,, and the only strategy he could come up with was “pickpocket some kinda bargaining chip” (same strategy he used in risk except he implemented it way better that time by knowing how to act respectful and non suspicious)

so he tried to get ladybugs earrings,,,, which he KNEW hawkmoth wanted,,,,,, and he could not beat ladybug in a fight and adrien had something going on with ladybug and its hard to pickpocket earrings,,,,,, so he made a stupid dumb attempt to kiss her to take her earrings that probably wouldnt have worked even if they had kissed,,,, he did not back away when she said “no” because thats not how thievery works,,, like,,,, he was trying to get close enough to pickpocket or mug her,,,, which is Where the issues stem from,,,,

and then he got punched in the face which he Did deserve dont get me wrong, ladybug was so incredible and iconic for that moment heck yeah

however he was not weird about consent to be creepy or whatever,,,, he was just trying to get his amok back and it made him do very dumb and bad things!! This is still bad its just a different Kind of bad with different solutions!!

and his arc is about recognizing that other people are people too,,, not just npcs that he needs to fight to survive,,, and also about realizing that his actions have consequences. Also that being nice to people and learning to listen and respect boundaries is actually helpful and good. This is in fact a very good lesson to teach children. Thank u

#miraculous ladybug #ml felix #ml meta #i guess #i have no idea what to tag this as #anyway his arc is sooooooo everything to me #incredibly important to me to see characters learn that #being mean doesnt help anyone #and that even if youre scared #that trying to learn how to find people you can feel safe with #trying to make connections and whatnot #and trying to BE trustworthy and be a good person #in ways you can #its like #its so freaking important ugh im gonna sob #ml spoilers #ml s5 spoilers

Fargo is a fantastic show and there’s been a lot of moments that have left me stunned, astonished, thrilled, chilled, absolutely blown-away, but bitch…………...I’m telling you…………..in 5 seasons, nothing has ever gotten me to a state of white-knuckled, gripping the chair, shock and awe…………………like that cover of Toxic……………

#I swear I literally gasped and gripped my recliner and my mouth dropped open and stayed there like a cartoon idiot that whole scene #(and yeah the moody atmosphere of the scene itself excellently conveyed the futile circumstances #of being a woman in the clutches of a man’s bruised ego and first brush with consequences #drawing out what we know is coming as Roy walks to that shack and we’re close up on him the whole way #not to attempt to make us the audience empathize with him but to isolate us with the fragile state of his self-worth as his humiliation #makes his abusing women and Dot in particular shed its skin its declarations of justice and faith in god #and show it for what it is: hate and fear and weakness and other things I wanna get into but wont #like yeah that was all good or whatever too) #but BABY CANT YOU SEE……..I’M FALLIIIINN………… #fargo fx #fargo s5 #fargo s5e8

talking to macdennis shippers makes me realize how much more i enjoy charden lmfao

#i love early seasons macden a lot but i think they sort of. fucked mcdn beyond repair in a lot of ways #where they Need to derail the show and do some genuine repairs #if theyd stayed the way they were in s5 itd be like oh yeah nbd theyre fucking lol #but now its. complicated #which isn't inherently bad but i think theres so much to unpack that its just like. if its not done right its going to be a disaster #charden have remained actual friends #it doesn't feel like a huge jump for them to be on good terms #but everyone immediately assumes something must have happened offscreen if macden are getting along #like. its overcomplicated! idk! i think dennis' entire character is overcomplicated #and it makes it really hard because he is So established to just have a fun plot #also i think theyve slowly fucked mac's character and have no intention of fixing it like they have with charlie and dennis' characters #like charlie was made Too Dumb and theyve been remedying that by making him a little more grounded and serious #dennis was Too Angry and they're remedying it by having him develop a way of burning off pressure without exploding #but everything theyve developed for mac has just sort of been left behind #if there was a moment to show how he'd changed it wouldve been post mfhp but it almost seemed like it was a complete reversal #he devolved lol #he was definitely like. better. in s16. but he's lost so much complexity while the others have gained more #and it feels incredibly unbalanced #dee is just a nothing character now too which (while i disagree with a lot of the complaints abt her in s16) can be seen clearly now #but mac is just. #okay im done rambling bye #ada speaks #idk how to explain but macden as a dynamic feels like it holds both of their characters back #and it rarely brings anything new or interesting to the table #dennis shows a different side of himself around charlie #but he is. mostly just angry or exasperated around mac

obligatory disclaimer:

yeah i know about the fanbook and its massively unfortunate. im really not in support of that kind of age gap in fiction or real life. ive never seen shimamine or minegishi through that lens and i dont plan to start. i want to continue to write aged up version that I'd been writing long before the info was released.

check chapter 2.1 for the ages i established them at like ~7 years before the wd-arc which would put shimamine at about 29 and 30. this comic will have shimamine i'd fully understand if that makes you uncomfortable. i encourage you to block me and i avoid putting overt shimamine content in generic tags.

also, please if you like shimamine while accepting the large age gap i also don't rly want you to follow me. i don't want my work viewed under that lens.

#if anything is inconsistent its because i didnt know how big this project of mine was gonna be at the time #so i didnt give any thought to chapter conventions or whatever #minegishi toshiki #shimazaki ryou #shimamine #mp100 #like a mayfly in milk #edit: dont come at me about the fanbook、it came out just as shit was getting good in mayfly #its fucked up that shimamine aren't the same age. im ignoring it #peep chapter 2 for the ages i guesstimated them to be at when they joined the s5 #so that puts them both just over/under 30 in a post-claw setting
