Vertigo (1958)

[Watched on August 28th]

Please enjoy a liveblog of me watching this classic completely blind and having An Experience. (But only if you’ve seen it yourself, because this is one of the films that work much better when you know nothing in advance.)

Liveblog

The first scene between the man and the woman was the height of “as you know”. They just talk and talk in exposition while I spend several minutes trying to figure out whether they’re a couple or father and daughter.

I decided to watch this film right now because I know it was brought up in Laura Mulvey’s article about male gaze and wanted to read it without getting spoiled, and I don’t know what exactly she said about it, but I immediately noticed how the man is filmed “objectively” but the woman is shown through his eyes, following his line of sight.

Glad I know nothing about the plot because I’m genuinely intrigued.

Has she really not noticed an extremely obvious trail even once?

Oh my god I misread the dates on the headstone as the 20th century instead of the 19th and kept thinking Carlotta died just before the events of the movie. Well, this makes more sense now!

Really pretty shots with the Golden Gate Bridge.

My late grandmother must have looked a lot like the main character when she was young… They were probably born around the same time, she wears her hair in a similar way to what I remember...

Bro I know she’s the other main character and the two of you are probably going to have at least some romantic tension, but why are you grabbing her hand like that, she’s married to your friend…

I am hoping more and more that we’ll get a recap of the entire film from her POV at some point. Like her hiding in the hotel room when he came in to check, or listening in to his conversation with her husband on the phone.

This black-and-white outfit slaps

I’m glad I know nothing about this movie because I genuinely have no idea whether it’s going to be supernatural or not

I didn’t expect her to die so soon. There’s 45 minutes left! So what now? Has the husband been driving her mad to take possession of the inheritance? Is the film going to be about him from now on?

Damn, the effects in this dream sequence did NOT age well

I like how the film draw attention to the 50s pretty women looking indistinguishable. I kept wondering whether Midge and Madeleine were played by the same actress!

Huh, I suspected that she threw a fake body, but didn’t think she wasn’t alone!

Oh, so the dead body wasn’t fake, the living one was.

The film really shifted POVs, and not in a way I expected. Now we know what she’s thinking but have no idea what the fuck he is.

Oh I bet there’s class commentary on this too. I can see where the gender commentary is. I thought the perfect alluring image of upper class white femininity, mysterious and vulnerable, was just a patriarchal cinema convention, but it’s actually constructed even within the fictional universe! What a pity, to know that a man does not want a real you, only a mirage designed to be as stereotypically attractive as possible. “If I let you change me, will that do it? If I do what you tell me, will you love me?” “Yes. Yes.” “All right. All right, then, I’ll do it. I don’t care anymore about me.”

Either he has figured it out and is trying to set up a trap for the murdering husband, or he’s oblivious and poor Judy needs to grab her IDs and run far far away asap

Like, I have to be fair to the dude. From his perspective, he found a woman who is somehow an exact copy of an innocent who’s been murdered by a ghost. He’s living in a fairytale now, as far as he’s concerned she might as well be some magical changeling and if he believes enough he can bring his beloved back or something.

It’s amazing how makeup can change a face — she’s a great beauty as Madeleine and barely noticeable in Judy’s garish facepaint

Oh no is he going to push her into the bay now

“One final thing I have to do.” Nooo motherfucker

“And then, I’ll be free of the past.” Noooo

Oh he’s not pushing her into the water, he’s pushing her off the top floor

Can she push him off instead? Please Mr Hitchcock

Noo why did she kill herself at the last second??

What? That’s the end? He didn’t even jump after her?

Well this was a great movie until literally the last minute. RIP

Why are women so in love with this below average guy anyway???

Rating: between 8 and 9, I think.

[End of liveblog]

Full disclosure: I am publishing this “review” months after watching the film itself, because after reading Mulvey’s “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” I fell into a research rabbit hole, got my hands onto a bunch of academic writing on the film, and didn’t want to post my thoughts on the film until I went through it all, in case my future self wanted to make this movie review double as literature review.

I read “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” immediately after watching the film (fighting for my life throughout the psychoanalytical sections, and skipping the paragraphs about the films I haven’t seen yet). Turns out, the analysis of Vertigo takes up only two and a half paragraphs, but it spoils everything so I’m glad I watched the film first. These paragraphs are, of course, quite insightful, except for one weird part where the author describes Judy’s acquiescence to Scottie’s demands as “exhibitionism” and “masochism”. I hope these words had very different connotations half a century ago, because this sounds like downright victim-blaming to me. The current day meaning of these words would imply that Judy enjoyed what was happening, and she made it very clear that she didn’t.

Another essay, “‘The look,’ narrativity, and the female spectator in Vertigo”, written by Karen Hollinger more than a decade later, is a more thorough analysis of this film alone that takes into account the shifts in POV I mentioned in the liveblog above, but to my disappointment, it also describes Judy’s attempts to mollify Scottie as “masochistic”. For the sake of my own sanity, I’m going to assume that word really meant something else in old academic writing.

“The Critic as Consumer: Film Study in the University, Vertigo, and the Film Canon” by Virginia Wright Wexman is a much more grounded essay: it does away with psychoanalysis and talks about the film in the context of its production, which was pretty informative, as well as provides the class commentary I wished for in the liveblog. It was enjoyable to read an analysis based on the material realities of the world that actually exist, and not on someone’s fever dreams. This might be my first dive into this corner of academia, and I was unpleasantly surprised to see people spend so much effort on a methodology that seemed so obviously inadequate to me.

I went through 5+ more articles in addition to the ones I named above, but that reading had diminishing returns. The more I read, the more familiar with the material I became, and the less interesting it was to read other people’s analysis, especially because I kept disagreeing with it. Broadening my horizons in this way was pretty fun and I don’t exactly regret it, but the process wasn’t a great use of my time and energy, and actively demotivated me from watching more films because after months and months I still wasn’t done with this one.

Here’s something I learned from one of the articles: there doesn’t seem to be a singular canonical explanation for whether Judy fell accidentally or jumped to her death on purpose. The initial screenplay, which I found online, indicates it was an accident; Kim Novak herself said in an interview that it was suicide. Not only did Hitchcock not show what happened, he didn’t seem to bother to either inform the actress of his interpretation or come up with one at all. That's how little he, and therefore the film itself, cared about the main female character. Nothing matters but the man and his trauma. Scottie’s storyline is concluded poetically regardless of the reason why Judy falls, but Judy’s own storyline is literally dropped as if it was never there.

#vertigo #liveblogs and reviews #blah blah blah #last day to post all the reviews i've been accumulating throughout the year!

Favorite and least favorite counselor. Why?:

Favorite might be surprising to some who’ve read my fanfics or seen my fanart, because it USED to be Dylan (i still love him obvi). But now, it’s actually Ryan. I adore how complex his character is and how much time we get with him (though some may complain about that). I just wanna give him a hug.

Least favorite is Jacob - but I don’t hate him. He just makes too many dumb choices and actions that the gamer isn’t allowed to fix. This is probably due to Supermassive being rushed in finishing the game so they had to scrap a lot of stuff, but it results in me not really caring about Jacob as much as the others.

Favorite chapter and least favorite? Why:

Favorite chapter is a tie between Chapter Five and Chapter Nine. Chapter Five because of the radio hut scene and all the conversations between Dylan and Ryan (i’m weak for them). Chapter Nine because a LOT of fun stuff happens, though especially the scrapyard scene.

Least favorite is also a tie—Chapter Seven and Chapter Ten. Chapter Seven is because of how long and secluded it is with the backstory. Although it was necessary to know what Max and Laura went through, it felt like they were dragging it as far as they could and it got a little boring. And then, Chapter Ten, because it was a little lackluster after all the buildup and the fact that it ends with no closure for our counselors.

Favorite ships (max of 3)?:

Radiohead, Lauramax, and Jacob/Therapy Blygbank! (though, if you read my fanfics, i tend to do Emma/Abi/Nick which is also a big one of mine)

Biggest counselor crush?:

Kaitlyn. KAITLYN. Brenda Song playing a badass final girl? YES PLEASE. Especially when she’s got those yellow eyes when she’s infected in chapter ten. Hubba hubba.

How would you survive The Quarry?:

I probably wouldn’t. I have a natural body tremor so I’m basically always shaking so staying still would be useless. And my stamina is… awful. My only chance would be using one of the boats and sitting in the middle of the lake, but knowing my crappy luck I would somehow still die.

Favorite fanfic writer/fanartist?:

Fanfics: @lowonmelatonin and @drylan (my brain is blanking NOOO)

Art: @lieutkenny (there’s definitely more but I’m cracking under the pressure oh god)

Shoutout your friends in the fandom?:

I have to admit I’m a wee bit of a loner in this fandom. I haven’t really made friends, sadly. BUT! I am open to it. Just ask! Cuz I’ll most definitely say yes. <3

MSA x WnG: A Matter of Loaf and Death AU Chapter 1: Intro/Newspaper of 12 Bakers has murdered

Night, Bakery Stores works. Two Bakers, Baker Bob and Baker Alex Parker make doughs song humming. Two shadowy figures with groved oven mitts with rolling pin and knife sneaking close to behind them and grab taken out their Baker's Chef Hats. Bob and Alex are confused, their hand pat heads without their Baker's Chef Hats. They are turns to see two shadowy figures

Baker Bob: Oh, it's you!

Alex: It's you!

Two Figures raised the pin and knife to Bakers in horror

Baker Bob: No! Nooo!

Alex: No! Noo!

They have killed by two figures. Baker Bob was Blungeoned in facedown in his dough with his glasses on his back of head. Alex was Throat Slit in fall and loss of blood.

Next morning, Sarah with her own pets Dogs/Kitsunes of Dog/Kitsune and Polter Dog/Kitsune and Laura with her own pet Polter Cat, Mystery Teams/Groups/Gangs (MS (MysterySkulls), TSM (The Sector Mystery), MI (Mystery Ideas), MH (Mystery Hunters), MS (Mystery Slayers), TGBM (The Greatest Bakers Mystery) read it and worried about what happened.

Sapphire: Poor Alex Parker.

Cera: Poor Baker Bob.

Bart: It's Two Final Bakers have been murdered with own rolling pin and knife.

Sarah: Not Good, think it's two Bakers who have the final last Bakers who have been murdered.

Laura is fearful that next to targets Bakers.

Samantha: Two Serial Killers lost and escaped last night.

Sardonyx is fearful what happened murdered Two Final Bakers and is now next to targets Bakers.

Gromit and Arturo are gulped in horrified with news reads.

They look up at the clock rings to wake up to Wallace and Lionel in sleeping with cotton covering their ears. Gromit and Arturo used buttons to noises, and Wallace and Lionel in sleeping with cotton covered their ears not heard from hearing noises. Gromit and Arturo used water balloons put the windmill in one of the windmills.

Wallace in sleep: Mmm... Cheese

Lionel in sleep: Sweet

Gromit and Arturo hit the windmill to drop water balloons for Wallace and Lionel to wake up and remove cotton from their ears. Wallace and Lionel are ready

Wallace: I'm coming, Lads.

Lionel: I'm coming, Bud.

The oven opened up and fresh bread popped out. Gromit used a forklift to take the rows of bread and he pulled down a lever.

Wallace: Pop away, Gromit.

The bed lowered and Wallace got into his trousers, although he was in a conveyor belt that was dropping off bags of flour.

Wallace: I’ll be with you in a jiffy.

He was launched off to a slide.

Wallace: Howdy ho! Oh, no.

He noticed that he was about to enter a bowl of egg and flour mix.

Vera: We got you, bro!

Luckily, the gang moved the slide away from the bowl.

Wallace: Thanks, lads.

Wallace then landed on some dough and is pushed off. Gromit and the gang loaded the loaves of bread onto the truck.

Wallace: Fill ‘er up, lads.

Gromit pours tea into Wallace’s cup and soon, the gang went off in their truck.

Wallace: (drinks his cup) Ah, lovely cup, Gromit. But slightly dieselly after-tasted perhaps. How’s that breakfast coming on?

Gromit pushed a button and burnt toast came out of the CD slot.

Wallace: Well done, lad. Very well done. (eats his toast and pats Gromit on the head) Thanks, dog.

Lionel is drinking diet coke.

Sarah: Wallace, I think you should look at this.

Valentin: Lionel, I think you look at this news.

She hands Wallace the paper and looking at it, he was quite horrified. Valentin hands Lionel the newspaper and looking at it, he was very horrified.

Wallace: Oh. Oh, dear. Another baker. Battered by his own rolling pin.

Lionel: Oh my God... 12 Baker, cuts slits throat... not Good...

Wallace: Still, looking on the bright side, I suppose it means more business for us, eh, lads?

Lionel: Please want more bakes to deliver to the Bakery Stores, right?

Gromit and Arturo are right.

Soon, they began their delivery.

Wallace: We’re on a roll, lads!

Whether it’s dropping bread near doors and throwing them into mailboxes a la Paperboy, they delivered as many as they can.

Wallace: Good day’s work, everyone. We’re bang on….

Lionel: Got it...?

Suddenly, he heard a bell ring. It came from a woman riding on a bicycle with a poodle in a basket. Another woman rode on a bicycle with her friend on other bikes.

Wallace: ...target.

Lionel: Target...

He throws the bread aside, although it hit an old lady instead of into the mailbox. Wallace noticed something familiar about the woman on the bicycle. It was the Bake-O-Lite Girl a long time ago. Lionel noticed something familiar about the woman on the bicycle.

Past Piella: (sings) I’m light as a feather. I’m a bake-o-lite girl.

Wallace snapped out of it.

Wallace: Lads, did you see who that was?

Lionel: Guys, did you see who that was with a friend?

Vicki: A lady who hasn't checked her brakes?

Soon, the women passed them up and ride downhill while screaming.

Albert: It looks like she’s in trouble.

They followed after the lady in their truck.

Wallace: Here, Landon, take the wheel.

Lionel: Got it, Arturo, take the wheel.

He literally gave Landon the wheel as he jumps off the truck and onto the bike.

Lionel jumped off the bakery van and onto the bike.

Wallace: Don’t fret, madam. (to the gang) Tea cakes, lads. The wholemeal fruit on my knees.

Lionel: Don’t worry, Madam. (to the gang) Need to slow down, Bud, wholemeal on my knees.

Teams Mystery threw tea cakes to Wallace and Lionel and they uses them to try to slow down the bike, but it wouldn’t stop.

Wallace: I should’ve tried the granary roll.

The truck drove through the zoo and was heading for the crocodile pit.

Wallace: Oh, heck!

Bart: Look out!

The bikes hit the wall and Wallace, the lady, and the poodle flew off. Wallace’s shoe held onto a ledge, giving him time to grab the lady, Lionel grab the lady while Gromit and Arturo used a croissant to hold the crocodile’s mouth open and saved the poodle and girl while using his apron as a bungee cord. They all got out of the gator pit.

(53:10) ok so couple things (about judicators). 1) hunters?!?!? wtf does that mean?!!? are they hunting said professor...? 2) oh my gosh!! i love history (real or fake, like exandrian history). my fave arc in campaign 2 was the aeor arc, so learning more about this history of judicators = learning more about the history of exandria = SO COOL!!!

(55:20) OH MY GOD CHETNEY!!! WHY ARE YOU WALKING UP TO THE JUDICATOR?!?!?

(58:30) i have a feeling that, if given a class, judicators would be monks. idk they just give off the vibe of hand to hand combatants

(1:04:58) OH MY GOD FCG CASTING FAST FRIENDS. ugh i kinda hate that spell, and other similar ones, it makes me very anxious

(1:17:59) when matt said "Lucent Spire" i thought he said "Lucien" spire at first

(1:35:00) oh thank god, they pass the group deception check

(1:36:15) NOOO LAUDNA WHY!?!? YOU WERE FINE!! WHY DID YOU USE UNSETTLING PRESENCE!?!?

(1:40:02) why does this professor have alarm set up? (at least thats what i think it is). is it bc the judicators?

(1:42:26) ah so i guess it was the alarm spell, and the guy was there and got alarm-ed. notified... that sort of thing

(1:47:19) "no offence, but i can smell you" lol

(1:54:16) is it possible that the guy left before bells hells even showed up...?

(1:56:00) OH MY GOD ORYM WAS RIGHT TO LOOK FOR A TRAPDOOR/WAY GOING DOWN!! also two?

(1:59:40) lol chetney didn't check to see if the desk was trapped

(2:02:25) OMG IT REMINDS THEM OF ESHTEROSS AND I FORGOT THAT HE WAS DEAD :,((

(2:03:38) OH MY GOD FCG!! YOURE STEALING (cooking stuff) FROM THIS PROFESSOR!?!?!

(2:13:48) oop lol they do a steppy into the teleportation circle. where do they go? only continuing to watch will tell

(2:34:11) OH MY GOD! I was so confused, i was like "who is planerider ryn?" and then we find out they're the one who gave yussa the thing to get to the fire plane in c2?!!?! but have we met them before...?

(2:36:38) also i dont remember who or what the grim verity is :p

(2:43:54) oh my god the fire elemental has a name!! niles!!! :D this makes me ridiculously happy

(2:51:00) im gonna be dm-ing call of the netherdeep soon for a couple friends of mine, and some of them watch cr? and i fear that there might be some spoilers for it in c3 so thats fun /s

also (def spoilers for call of the netherdeep) in the intro to the campaign book, it says something along the lines of how ruidus wasn't always in the sky; and how the prime dieties made up the superstitions to try and get people to fear it/not research it. so... that definitely ties in to c3

(3:01:39) this is gonna be me repeating stuff we learn bc OMG HISTORY (excitement) and some theories and thoughts as i slowly watch this lore dump. ok so there are 2 lost dieties: ethedok "the endless shadow" and vordo "the fateshaper." ethedok's domain is darkness and winter (no thoughts about that one except "oh my gosh! more history!!), and vordo's domain is fate and order. i bet vordo is the luxon, the the beacons/diety the Kryn Dynasty prays to. the text also gave proof that ruidus wasn't always there (which i already knew), but it was created by the gods. I suppose i should have known that, but i didn't realize is. "the gods showed fear. something from beyond the stars that they recognized arrived here..." this is like,,, Tharizdun's lore. "... and they called it Predathos..." is this referring to both Ethedok and Vordo? also this post by blazingstar24 talks about the possible connection between predathos and Alyxian/creation of the Netherdeep. ive only skimmed this so far, bc i wanted to finish this episode first, but my mind is blown. this is all so cool!! "this predathos resisted their miracles and hunted them. spawning its own twisted life in its wake as it did. ... it is said that it devoured ethedok... and then vordo" ok so ethedok and vordo can't be apart of predathos... so is vordo not the luxon then...? but if they are, then how come the luxon beacons/dunamancy still work...? or at least clerics who draw their power from the luxon still work. (not writing the quote) but matt says that the titans and gods worked together to make Ruidus, which is the prison where predathos is. soo... Ludinus you fucked up bastard, why are you trying to free them?!?! cause im pretty sure thats what he's trying to do.

side note: im def gonna have my campaign be set before all this happens... or like push it back bc i dont want to have to think about this happening at the same time as the events of the campaign. ill def keep the info in mind... and try to pretend/hide the face that c3 and call of the netherdeep are prob connected from my players...

(3:10:06) so before, we heard that there were three possible places where the leylines align or whatever, one of them was the Hellcatch... I think bc, as the scholar i forget the name of said, people are being called to the Hellcatch valley, that prob means the apogee solstice is gonna happen there out of the three possible locations

(3:11:05) "and otohan found [imogen's mother], and so did the assembly." oh shit. is imogen's mom working with them?!?!?! i hope not

(3:12:24) i kinda love planerider ryn. i like their vibes

(3:13:42) lol ryn can see chetney. also i kinda really want niles and mister to interact...

(3:28:40) ohhhh ok so when ethedok and vordo were eaten, or "consumed" or whatever, their domains got split up and spread around the rest of the gods... interesting. i wonder how the luxon ties into all of this. unfortunately, i doubt that any of the players could in game ask matt because their characters dont know about that

(3:31:00) i wonder if the ruin that ryn is talking about is molaesmyr or aeor or another floating city... also i wonder how the people of avalir are going. like are they still alive, did they turn into something like the cognoza ward?

(3:42:12) OH MY FUCKING GOD MORI IS CALLED THE FATESTITCHER?!?!?

(4:03:05) oh my gosh Mori sounds terrifying... i hope that if bells hells does go to her for help, she actually helps and doesn't mess with anything like she did to make fearne be over 100 years old

(4:04:34) lol they forgot about leaving ashton behind

(4:07:52) OH MY GOSH I LOVE NILES

(4:13:00) FUCK OH FUCK WHO WHAT. ok so yk how the episode ends? with them getting teleported back to the basement, and then someone breaks into the house and then the weird voice being like "you sure theyre here? smell them and find them". WHO THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?! WAS IT THE PERSON FCG CAST FAST FRIENDS ON?!?! WAS IT SOMEONE ELSE?!?!? IS ASHTON OK?!?!?!?

Dariax: "Are these plants evil, Fy'ra Rai? Don't lie to me, I'll know." Fy'ra Rai: My friend, there is nothing good or evil here..." Dariax: "Good enough for me, all right." Fy'ra Rai: "... other than..." Dariax: "I'm going to go ahead..." Opal: "Let her finish." Dariax: "Oh, I'm sorry." Fy'ra Rai: "I think I've just been mansplained in my own place."

Dariax: "So do you got stuff for this rubbing?" Opal: "I have stuff." Dorian: "I'm going to write it down. I cannot rub an entire 10 foot obelisk... but I could try." Dariax: "Never say never." Opal: "This is a big mistake." Dorian: "I could certainly try." Orym: "If anyone's up to the task..." Aabria: "I didn't mean for it to be this way." Fy'ra Rai: "Do we ever, though? Does it ever really start with what we mean for it to be?" Opal: "The rub-elisk." Orym: "Rubble rubble. I'll help you go get this rubbing." Dariax: "'Just let me touch you.' And I cast Invisibility on him." Dorian: "Well, one good turn deserves another. And I cast Invisibility on you." Aabria: "Thus breaking your Invisibility." Dorian: "Nooo, I don't know how to use it"

Don't you worry, baby bird." Fearne: "I love this so much." Opal: "Okay, so I want to wrap the Vicious Whip around this crocodile, and just hoping above all hope, swinging her weight just to see if this crocodile will just turn. So it's wrapped around." Aabria: "This is so disrespectful." Opal: "She's really committed to this idea. She's going to jump, but she's going to jump far enough that it's not a roll, it's a jump, off of the gator, and pulling all of her weight." Ashley & Anjali: "Yes!" Aabria: "I worked so hard to get you on the gator... and you jump off the gator?" Opal: "No. She's going to jump down." Liam: "This is some Laura-Bailey-level haggle."

quickreacts to CritRole c3ep14

yeah wow I watched this one REAL late. Started watching it live and had to stop, didn’t finish until today. it’s been a rough week y’all

Spoilers below the non-spoiler pic!

Goddammit Matthew Mercer why do you keep giving these aggressive, violent, scary enemy NPCs so much sexual energy, holy shit

c’mon, Matt, you’re doing this on purpose

Okay, no weapons, okay.  This guys probably a goddamn werewolf blood hunter, but okay…

“You throw the first punch”  ITS A TRAP THATS ALWAYS A TRAP

Marisha: “I just want ‘em to kiss so bad”  I’d like to thank the CR ladies for saying what we’re ALL thinking in this fight

“A HUNDRED GOLD? I’LL TAKE THAT ACTION!” omg Chetney

Fuck.  Our boy’s gonna die 😅 ...oh thank Aeor for FCG!

Can confirm: staying in accent when you’re surrounded by different accents is real difficult

Oh my god Travis is just... the glory hole jokes I cannot I love this

Matt/Eshteross: “I think we should just keep our ears open” Ashley/Fearne: <flips her low deer ears up and I’m in love>

Lorelai de Rolo what the FUCK Marisha

Can I just say that I fucking love everything about Marisha’s incredible Norma Desmond schtick as Laudna, I adore her

Like, goddamn, is she not just the most 🥰

fuck fuck fuck fuck Ashton’s getting interrogated JUST DENY IT

DUDE.  JUST.  YOU.  FUCK.  UGH.

You have like 2 different possible connections to fey shit (both Fearne and whatever “weird fucking fey chaos magic” Milo used on you) you can use as an excuse for having, say, some knowledge of a creepy Archfey dude.  Or even just, y’know, a nightmare of him!!!

AND HE’S BASICALLY SAYING THEY DESTROYED THE TOWER???

Dude, you DIDN’T destroy the tower!  Don’t act like you did! NOOO ugh

Sam/FCG: “Were you lying?” Ashley/Fearne: “Well I was gonna take a little bit of a detour“ I love Ashley so fucking much.  And I love that she ans Ashton are both such bad liars.

Dorian you are so fucking awkward, I ador[ian]e you.

dude this is the worst game of telephone ever I fucking love it

Robbie: “As we’re walking to the potty-” Travis: “The potty...” Robbie: “I have children!!” I love Travis and Robbie’s banter so much.

FUCK wait welp they got the guards killed

This is what we get for calling the guards, I guess

Eyyyy combat here we go, Dugger 2.0: Fashion Edition!

DAAAAAMN ROBBIE!  Yknow I never thought College of Swords was anything decent, saw it as an inferior version of College of Valor, but damn, Blade Flourish is legit!

Wow, so Laura said “so you’re gonna stick it in her, pull it out, stick it in her, pull it out, and then stick it in the other guy?” without even smiling?! (Bonus points to Travis for “well yeah, I mean, he is a bard.”)

Fey-Touched ex-CUSE ME MISS IMOGEN?

Ashley: Natural 20. <hoooowwwwwls!> (she is so cute I cannot) Laura: HOWDY DURRDY DURR! HOWDY DURR DURR DE!! (it wasn’t a HDYWDT but it was adorable)

Oh my god the way Liam describes combat is always so fantastic.

Travis and Robbie both just being huge fans of Liam/Orym, and they BOTH just start doing those quick little imaginary dagger moves, it’s adorable.

NOOOO RUSSELL THE GUAARRRRD! 😫

“she’ll help me” WHO? WHO WHO WHO WHO WHO WHOMST

FUCK she got away... hooo.... they’re going to get blamed for this--OH SHIT THAT OTHER GUARD’S ALIVE HE’S GONNA VOUCH FOR THEM THANK GOODNESS

Dorian and Laudna’s friendship is just... perfection. I love it. Laudna: How do we look? How do we look? Dorian: You look amazing as always. Laudna: <wiping his sleeve> You’ve got some, like, goop here. Dorian: Yeah, okay. Game face, game face, everything’s normal, go down and up and then-- Both: <look down, look up> And... ‘Ah!’ <Pose!> Me: <wild applause, tears, bravo>

Fuuuuuck Cyrus what the fuck have you gotten yourself into.

Dorian and Imogen’s friendship is just... a disaster.  I love it. Robbie/Dorian: I’m gonna break for the door. Laura/Imogen: Are you telling anyone that you’re leaving or are you just... R/D: No. L/I: Cool. Cool. We’re the worst group.

BELLS HELLS. HELLS YES.

oh no oh god oh no oh god oh cyrus you motherfuck oh no oh

Marisha/Laudna: “ughafhamnhunl DARKNESS! <looks at Matt> Wait, what were you about to say, first? “ 😂Relatable moment.

SMOKE GRENADE WTF ARE YOU SERIOUS DORIANTHAT’S NOT GOING TO FUCKING WORKTHE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THE CITY ARE HERE I CANNOT--OVERTLY?!

I am LOSING my MINDcHARM PerSOn WORKED OMG

oh no the gnome noticed oh no the gnome is gonna--

IT’S HIM

IT’S ESHTEROSS

IT’S OWLBEARMAN

No Laudna, fucking do not draw attention to yourself right now, Vali saw YOU as a ghost at the tower, he’s gonna remember you more than anyone...

Wow they are suddenly making up for all their shit rolls earlier...

THANK GOD GUARD-FRIEND TO THE RESCUE

All Guards Are Bastards Except One

Sam/FCG: “I’ve got a mask on! No one will remember me!” (I love this lil robit)

Taliesin/Ashton: “Closest [guard] on the way out, I make eye contact: ‘Great party,’ and I tip a gold coin.” (bless this punk rock)

oh no... Eshteross is mad 🥺 OwlBearDad plz don’t be mad

Dorian: “So your bounty... was for falsely stealing from a Mahaan house... and you thought the best way to pay it off was to... actually steal from another Mahaan house.” Me: You TELL ‘im, Dorian!

Oh FUCK me, the Green Seekers thought he blew up the tower... which this crew did not do, but was involved in... fuck.  Someone must have remembered seeing Dorian.  Blue guy in fancy ass clothes is fairly memorable.

Cyrus: “[I was] the new kid without any sort of known rap, really... aside from the bounty... actually, no, I’m real bad at this, I’m so sorry.” Me: ...Oh Cyrus, you’re too dumb and cute for me to stay mad. <3

House Wyvernwind: We’re Real Bad At This, We’re So Sorry.

oh no it’s happening, oh no

I already got spoiled for this but Fearne’s immediate “wait wait wait wait,” and Orym’s “No, wait, I don’t know that that’s necessary” just.. <lip quiver>

I... oh FCG kicking the floor with his lil legs😭

Dorian spent so much time trying to get away from who he was and get away from his family, even though he’s said he loves his family.  Maybe... maybe he needs this time to reconcile who he really is with where he comes from.  Integrate these two parts of himself so he can just honestly say that he’s Dorian Storm without it feeling like a fake name.

Imogen: [about the name> I mean we are a bunch of hellions! Chetney: We raise hell! Laudna: And we killed Bertrand! <big smile> This fucking ending has me sad laughing and happy crying, I swear.

Ashton: “Here’s to Dorian, who’s leaving us for his stupid brother. what the fuck is up with that?!”  Love him.

I love how much the whole cast ships both Dorym and ExU Trio.

Robbie: "I'm gonna try to sing a little song for these guys" Laura: "...are you gonna sing it?!" Robbie: "NO!" XD

Yeah, as someone with Huge Bard Energy, that is such a mood.

EXCUSE ME, I ONLY SING WHEN IT’S INCONVENIENT.

<whispers>Worchestershire</whispers>

“I would never forget you.” 🥺 oh Fearne

Halfling hug and forehead kiss <3

Bravo, Robbie Daymond It’s only been 14 episodes (okay sort of 22) how am I so emotional about this!?!?!

Dorian spent so much time trying to get away from who he was and get away from his family, even though he’s said he loves his family.   Maybe... maybe he needs this time to reconcile who he really is with where he comes from?  Integrate these two parts of himself so he can just honestly say that he’s Dorian Storm without it feeling like a fake name.  He has his brother’s acceptance and support, but having his brother by his side for a while might... I dunno.  Make it all feel less like a dirty secret.

Maybe this’ll be good for him.

What a performance from all of them.  Hot damn, the CR cast and crew, tho.

Non-Sequential [Ch. 28]

Pairing: Pre-Serum Steve Rogers/Steve Rogers x Reader

One night, Steve Rogers met a beautiful dame named Y/N. He hadn’t intended on letting her get away. But fate had other ideas. Y/N appeared and disappeared in his life so hauntingly that Steve started to wonder if she was an angel meant to watch over him.

Word Count: 2,300

Chapter 27

The Battle of Wakanda was simultaneously the shortest and longest day of Steve Rogers’ life.

The dog-like aliens were released in too many droves, making Steve believe they would never stop attacking. Even if Shuri was successful in detaching the stone from Vision, would destroying it even stop these monsters? But Steve didn’t have time to think about that.

Thor’s arrival felt like a blink to Steve. He didn’t have time to process the return of his long-lost friend. The two of them were too busy trying to survive. But Steve somehow seemed to sense the personal ties Thor had in this war.

Steve started to come to on the forest floor. His body quick to recover from being knocked unconscious by Thanos. But it wasn’t fast enough.

He slowly got to his feet and looked up to find Thor pressing his axe into Thanos’ chest. But for some reason, Steve knew it was too soon to celebrate a victory. Something felt off.  

“Nooo!” Thor bellowed just before Thanos snapped his fingers.

A flash blinded Steve as he tried to move forward.

When he regained his vision, Thanos fell backwards into a portal and disappeared.

Steve clutched his side as he made his way to Thor. “Where’d he go?”

Thor said nothing, just remained in a daze and breathed heavily.

“Thor?” Steve begged. “Where’d he go?”

“Steve?” Bucky’s voice begged for his attention.

But when Steve looked over, Bucky’s body was already disappearing, turning into ash.

With utter shock, Steve slinked to the pile of ash that once was his best friend.

Him and Thor shared a look, finally understanding what was happening.

Everyone regrouped. Well… not everyone.

Steve went to Visions body, colorless and lifeless. The stone was missing from his forehead, proving what they were already figuring out.

“What is this?” Rhodey asked. “What the hell is happening?”

Steve breathed deeply as it all finally made sense. “Oh, God.”

Then her face flashed in his mind.

“Y/N,” he gasped and jumped to his feet.

“Steve…” Nat called after him, but there was no life in her voice. She just sounded scared.

All the injuries he had meant nothing to him now as he sprinted back to the palace at super-soldier speed. It didn’t matter how much his body hurt and protested. All that mattered was getting to her.

He ignored the panicked looks and the various piles of ash that were scattered across the palace hallways.

He shoved his shoulder against the doors of the wing that protected the royal family and Y/N.

When he entered, the Queen Mother whipped around with tears in her eyes.

Steve’s eyes raced around the room, looking for her. “Y/N!” He yelled.

But when he did not find her or receive an answer, his gaze returned to Ramonda.

She simply shook her head.

“No,” Steve whispered as he shook his head. “No.”

“She’s gone,” Ramonda gasped. “Shuri and her...a-and the rest of them.”

First his best friend and now the love of his life.

Tears filled his eyes.

He left, needing to go to her room. Despite the Queen Mother’s words, Steve’s heart wouldn’t believe her. She couldn’t be gone. It could not be true.

But what he found was an empty bedroom. Clean and barren.

It took a second glance around the room to see the envelope that lay waiting on her nightstand.

Steve didn’t know how it caught his eye when he was having a breakdown.

He saw his name written on it – just Steve. But it was Y/N’s handwriting.

His hand shook as he reached out to pick it up.

He already knew what he was going to find waiting for him inside the envelope.

Y/N knew this was coming. She had seen it. Kept the secret hidden as her own burden to bare. Letting everyone else live in blissful ignorance.

Steve,

By the time you find this, I’m sure you will have figured out what has happened. Thanos was successful. And with his success I have been taken from you.

You have also already realized that I knew this was going to happen. I’ve known for…Well, it doesn’t matter how long I’ve known.

I’m sorry I didn’t warn you. I knew it would destroy you, and maybe it would’ve destroyed us. Is it selfish that I just wanted our time together to be spent without the dread of the future looming over our heads?

I know this is not the goodbye you want or need. But this is all we could have.

Steve, I love you. I love you more than I could ever put into words. You know they aren’t my strong suit. But I hope I made you feel that love.

I know you, Steve. I know you will be OK. You were always stronger than me. You can survive missing me, but I would’ve never survived missing you.

I love you, Steve.

Please don’t forget me.

Steve turned the page over, expecting to find more written. 

But that was it.

He wanted more. He needed it. It was a goodbye, but why did he feel like something was missing or that something was off?

The next couple of days were a blur. He hid his feelings. The team needed him. They didn’t need a broken Steve Rogers; they needed Captain America. He wasn’t the only person that lost someone. They all had.

The team decided to return to the compound in New York, regroup and make a plan. Then they discovered Fury’s pager and Carol Danvers explained her relation to it, and Steve allowed himself to feel hope.

But their attack ended in disappointment.

Steve knew in hindsight that it made sense: Y/N wouldn’t have written him a letter saying goodbye if they could bring the world back in a few days.

The solution wasn’t that easy… if there even was a solution.

Now Steve sat on the dock on the lake. The compound’s lights weren’t lit like before – well, everything – making it easier to actually see the stars.

He heard her walking up behind him. But he wasn’t really in the mood for talking. Maybe if he pretended she wasn’t there, she wouldn’t try to engage.

But she’s not one to back down like that.

Nat sat down next to him on the dock, dipping her barefoot into the lake.

“I think I’m going to…get out of here. Thinking about Brooklyn.” Steve spoke first.

“Steve…” She started.

“I can’t stay here, Nat. Everything reminds me of her. The grass on that lawn? Every time I look at it, I think of the night she met me. When I walk into that kitchen, I’m still convinced she’s going to be standing in there waiting for me with a mug of coffee in her hands.”

“So, that’s it? The Avengers are no more?” She challenged.

“We lost, Nat.”

“It was just lost one war, Steve. There will be others. There already are. Carol says–”

But Steve whipped his head to look at her. “We didn’t just lose a war,” he snapped. “I lost everything!” Then he controlled his temper. “She was everything,” he muttered as he looked back onto water.

Nat didn’t say anything more, already knowing when Steve made up his mind, there was no changing it. The only person more stubborn than him was Tony.

“Have you found him yet?” Steve asked her carefully.

She shook her head. “His house arrest bracelet was cut, which can only mean he survived. And there was a call to the compound just minutes after the snap.” Her eyes started watering. “I know he’s out there. But I think Laura and the kids…” She couldn’t even bring herself to say it.

“You shouldn’t stay here,” Steve told her as he looked back at the compound. It was empty and looked lifeless. The agents and scientists that once busied the space were either snapped or had gone back to what family and friends they had left.

Nat ignored his statement.

“Thor’s left. Bruce is acting strange. Tony has clung to Pepper. Rhodey is going back to DC. You shouldn’t be here by yourself, Nat.”

“So, where should I go? To New York City with you?” She challenged.

“Is that such a terrible idea?” He asked.

“I can’t, Steve. I can still help people. I know I can.”

He stood up. “You know…there are other ways to do that than just this.”

———————

Some Time Later…

Steve’s eyes snapped open when he heard the intruder.

His apartment had been restored to keep the character from the time period he was truly from, while being updated enough to be accepted and functional in modern society. But with it came squeaky floorboards and sometimes lack of soundproofing.

But that just meant that there was no mistaking when there was some other presence in his home.

He slipped out of bed completely silent.

Steve didn’t have his shield, but he doubt he would need it to defend himself from a thief. 

Crime had skyrocketed since the snap. Turned out that Thanos’ mission didn’t include only ridding the world of bad people. Some took advantage of the world’s vulnerable state, stealing and killing and assaulting others.

But when Steve peaked around the corner, he didn’t find a burglar.

“It’s just me,” she said gently.

Immediately recognizing the voice, Steve rushed around the corner.

Y/N was waiting for him with the blanket from the couch wrapped around her naked body.

Before she even had a chance to say his name or a hello, Steve was pulling her into his arms. The gesture wasn’t uncommon for him, but it still took her by surprise a bit.

“Hi,” she breathed into his shoulder.

He pulled back a bit, “Hi.”

His eyes and body language were now uncertain.

And Y/N knew why: he was trying to figure out what she knew and where she had come from.

“It’s after his snap?” She asked him quietly, proving that she already was aware and he didn’t have to be careful about what he said to her.

He just nodded sadly. “I’ve missed you,” he whispered.

Steve’s situation was simultaneously lucky and heartbreaking. Unlike his friends that survived, he got glimpses of the person he lost. Y/N’s time traveling that once felt like a curse was now a gift to Steve.

He got to hold her, to be reminded of how her skin felt and what she smelled like and how warm or cold her body felt against his.

Y/N leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. She didn’t want to think about when the last time that he felt her lips.

Steve blinks suddenly. “Sorry! Let me get you some clothes.”

Before she could stop him, he rushed back into his bedroom and started shuffling through drawers, determined to find Y/N’s favorite sweatpants and t-shirt of his.

When he looked up with the clothes in his hands, Y/N was leaning against the doorway with an appreciative grin.

She thanked him as she took the clothes from him.

Steve turned his back to give her some space to change, but he couldn’t find it in him to leave the room and truly give her privacy. He was scared she would disappear at any moment and he didn’t want to miss a second of her visit.

He heard Y/N giggle behind him. It sent a chill down his spine.

“It’s nothing you haven’t seen before, Steve. In fact, you see it quite often.”

He slowly turned to find her already dressed. He cleared his throat, “Sorry. It seems I’m not sure how to act around you anymore.”

She walked up to him and cupped his cheek. “You don’t have to be sorry, Steve.”

He nodded. 

“You’re looking at me as if I’m a ghost,” she whispered to him. 

And in a way, she was. 

Her hands then went to his shoulders. He seemed to preen at her touch, so she’d give him as much of it as she possibly could.

“Can I ask you something?” He muttered.

Steve only said things like that when he was nearing a fine line, when he wanted to ask her something about her time traveling. Something that he already knew she wouldn’t want to tell him.

But Y/N nodded.

“When did you find out?”

He didn’t have to elaborate, Y/N knew what he was asking about.

“Not until I was living in Wakanda.” She kept it generic.

Steve seemed somewhat relieved by it. He couldn’t imagine Y/N keeping the secret of the apocalypse for longer that she already had. A couple years was still torture. But Steve had been imagining the worst, often thinking of a teenage Y/N learning of the end of the world, having it haunt her ever moment.

“I’m sorry,” Steve whimpered. “I’m sorry I didn’t save you.”

Y/N him to her. “Oh, Steve. Shh. There was nothing you could do.”

“I’ve lost so many innocent lives. And I used to tell myself that as long as I had you, I could bare that guilt. But once I lost you…”

Y/N shushed him again. “You’re a hero. No one has ever doubted that. But you’re still just a man, Steven Grant Rogers. And Thanos – Thanos was a titan. A titan with the most powerful weapon in the universe. None of you stood a chance.”

Steve nodded, but she knew it would take more than a few words from her to convince him of that.

“I wish you could stay,” he muttered.

She wiped away some of his tears that had escaped. “I wish I could, too.”

He pressed his forehead to hers and closed his eyes.

All the tension left him from just the feeling of her. His body hadn’t relaxed since the last time he’d properly held her in his arms – before the snap, before the Battle of Wakanda.

Nevertheless, when he opened his eyes again, Y/N was already gone. The sweatpants and t-shirt she had been wearing piled at his feet.

It was then that Steve wondered if he really was luckier than everyone. Because having to say goodbye to Y/N over and over and over again now felt like a different type of torture.

Maybe her visits were going to become his drug. In the end, they weren’t good for him. But he still craved them like his life depended on them.

Chapter 29

Just want to clarify that I have not “returned” from my hiatus or to this tumblr in general. 

Quite frankly this fandom has lost its fucking mind and I’m rather disgusted with the behavior I’ve seen in the past month or so. 

No wonder all of the talented writers have left.

I’m only finishing this stupid series to clear my conscious. But I regretted looking back to see that while +2,500 people follow this series’ masterlist, the past few chapters have received 300 or less notes. And that, I tell you, is one of the reasons I hate it here.

Watching S1 of Teen wolf

Episode 5

Watching alone this time, so this one is dedicated to @whowasfuckenreddieforit, since they couldnt join me.

Wowee did i shake with joy when Peter appeared at the video store. Yes i know he was a-murderin but its PetER HaLe.

As my mutual likes to say, i "scream 'Peter omg its peter' everytime a corpse shows up on screen" which might or might not be true,

I will admit, that shot with Jackie and Lyds was hilarous. The most unrealistic part: Jackie not already knowing exACTLY where The Notebook is shelved😂😂

Also Stiles Stilinski is the absolute cutest and yes, Oral Fixation stiles is one of my headcanon

Derek seems a lot calmer than i expected. Him just out here casually breaking Scott's hand and the calm in his voice when he says "It'll heal".

This man is tired of dealing with this whinny teenager, poor Scott. But Derek's face when he does it, its like he doesnt want to hurt scott but he thinks its the best way to teach him.

Also Stiles is 100% more involved and worried about the werewolf stuff than Scott, like Stiles has his priorities straight (might be the only straight thing about him lol), even though hes not even a werewolf. Like, when Stiles goes to check up on Lydia, he asks about the "Mountain Lion" business first, not at all like Scott when he needed the Wolfsbane bullet from Allison.

Kate makes me want to curl up and cry but then we immediately get some Hoechlin eye candy so i feel a little better. Also the workOUT MUSICC ISTG-

Oh no I'm crying again, because Laura deserved better. Fuck you, crazy-Peter. But mostly fuck kate. Because Peter wouldnt have gone crazy if she had just nOT BEEN A FUCKING PEICE OF SHIT AND KILLED HIS WHOLE FAMILY, CHASING AWAY HIS LAST PACKMATES WHO FLED OUT OF JUSTIFIED FEAR

And now I'm heartbroken because Derek said at the start "We're predators", about werewolves, but like Kate talking about licking Derek makes my skin crawwl amd really, she's the real predator here. Idk. Its just scary to me. You know. Cuz of the whole using-him-to-kill-his-entire-family thing.

The Scallison scenes scattered in just give me anxiety, i wanna know whats happening with DEREK AND STILES GODDAMMIT! SCALLISON WE GET IT, YOURE IN LOVE.

Stiles is just 100% main character material for this tho, he's out here trying to contact people, figure out the mystery.

MY BABY IS BEING TORTURED WITH 900 000 VOLTS AND IM CRYING INSIDE AGAIN.

Kate's voice makes me so uncomfortable, and the actress did an absolutely amAZING job at playing the villain, i want to make sure i credit her for that. She played her role remorselessly.

I really sympathise with derek, cuz even tho he's big, tough and strong, he is still just a scared little boy being revisited by his nightmares and it broke me even though I already knew all this.

Yes, before anyone asks I simped over security-cam Peter Hale. Very eerie imagery, one of the shows stronger points. The spooky parts are my fave

Oh look, MORE scallison. Im sorry it just frustrates me because their romance is one of the weakest points of the show to me, like even Jackie and Lyds as the Bitchy Duo has more flavour to me. Closeted and rude gay/lesbian solidarity, anyone?

Aw Jackie bby nooo. I know he's been a dick but hes just a sweetie, the poor kid. Just this scene of him crying and losing his cool, trying over and over and failing at getting the ball in, breaking down in the end. Too sad, and it really hit close to home.

Lydia getting her shit together was honestly motivating. This girl, i really can't handle her sometimes, but she is a queen honestly just for being able to pick herself up. At the end of the day, she trying to live in this world, she's just more viscious and and motivated to get to the top. Hearing the way her paremts spoke about her, and Lyds putting her perfect, cold, unaffected face on in the mirror made me feel like "This girl KNOWS what they must be saying, but she is sitting here with a little smile because she KNOWS she has proven them wrong". And that. That is admirable.

Also coach cupcake is the best and Sheriff Stilinski always ready to back his boy up. The similairities between Stiles and his dad has me wanting to give a standing ovation to both actors. You can just tell the characters are related in the way they speak and their facial expressions

The teacher beatin down on Mama McCall has me FUMING! SHE IS A GODDAMN GIFT. Fucking sexist- acting like she aint doing her absolute best smh.

Chris Argent trying to fight Mama McCall is funny he couldnt even for a SECOND. Like listen Papa Argent, you are hot af for an older man, but Mama McCall is my Mommy (YES I MEAN THAT IN AN INCRIMINATING WAY) and no way is your attitude helping you win me over lmaoo.

OH GOD THEY HIT THE FUCKING SHERIFF WITH A CAR.

Oop- Papa Argent just saved the day. Guess i might forgive him a lil bit for hashing it out with Melissa.

Laura! the snippet of the coming out fic! I was skyping with a friend and scrolled through my dash and I had to stop myself from screeching and having to explain myself, and from just ditching the call to go read it immediately! It sounds so good and so emotional already, I can already feel myself crying when I'll read the whole thing whenever you're done! Aleksi watching Niko + Joonas and having a Reaction to it he doesn't really understand yet? my HEART, I am on my knees

Nooo, oh god please don't ditch your friend just to read a few sentences from me😂 But I know the situation of I'm being in a discord voice channel from an online party, casually scroll through AO3 and want it to read now, party be damned.

Putting it under read more incase people don't want spoilers:

So Aleksi already knows he's bi, it's not a secret to himself he's just confused about Joonas? And his relationship with Niko, that he can so casually be close to him while Aleksi can't, or he feels like he shouldn't. Not without being honest first anyways.

But I don't want to say too much. Currently though I feel like there's something missing in the fic so I don't make as much progress as I want. I hope I get a breakthrough soon.

#answered #but also I catch myself staring at same sex couples a lot of times and always fear that they I think I hate them or something #when in reality I'm just mush and happy about them #Aleksi staring? totally me

[muthaz-rapapa]

Let’s talk TroPreCure! (^∀^ 🌺)

i’m so stupidly proud of this dumb pun “tropurikyua~”, hahahahaha

Last post of the year and wow is there are lot to be excited for!

I even had to make a list for the stuff I want to talk about and I’m sure I already forgot one or two things but we’ll get to them as we continue to float~ along the wave to February 28th, mmkay? :)

Now for what has peaked my interest so far. And yes, we have to talk about the following first:

1) HealPre the shortest Precure season??

Unless they plan for double features in February (which I doubt but you never know), HealPre is likely going to reach only 45 episodes long instead of the usual 48~50 before TroPre I’m using this shortening of the title for now so if there’s a better alternative, tell me and I’ll switch out begins its broadcast.

Understandable because the producers probably want to get back to their normal scheduling as soon as possible (toy sales, y’know) and I suspect pushing the start of the new season back by a month is the most they’re willing to compromise.

As for me, I’m quite happy about this since HealPre’s lost its hold on my attention a while ago so the sooner TroPre gets here, the better. Though the downside might be a scrambled climax and a rushed, underwhelming ending for HealPre (I dunno if it’s January’s titles that feel a bit messy or if the hiatus is still throwing me off) but whatever. We’ll refresh ourselves with the new blood Cures so it’s all good.

2) Tropical movie announced for Autumn 2021, no All Stars??

(source)

First saw this mentioned on Youtube somewhere but it’s all over the fandom forums by now. I mean, HealPre’s movie is set for March, the usual time slot for All Stars release. If Toei intended for there to be an All Stars in 2021, there’s no way they would announce the seasonal movie before it so speculations of them skipping it this year are probably true.

To squeeze it somewhere between March and October-ish would force them to readjust their budgets as well and I don’t think even Toei wants to go through that extra hassle after all the trouble the pandemic’s caused for everyone already. It’s just easier to resume All Stars in 2022.

That, and I think Laura being a major character in TroPre despite not having a Cure title (yet) would make for an awkward situation when the three latest teams gather so perhaps that’s also one of the reasons. But I’ll get back to Laura in a bit.

3) Cure Summer is a RAINBOW Cure

So god help me if I see anyone calling her a Pink Cure.

Yes, she’s the lead Cure for this season. NO, she is not a Pink Cure.

Look, even the official website has a rainbow overlay for her profile pic and text font while everyone else’s respective theme colors are a solid hue:

Therefore, RAINBOW.

In promotional material and merchandising, they’re probably going to advertise her primarily with pink bah and at worst, she might occasionally be labeled as a White Cure with multiple subcolors (her outfit is not pink-dominant) but definitely NOT. PINK.

...also, this goes without saying but f***yea, we finally got a lead Cure practically and unabashedly wearing the LGBTQ flag and you cannot tell me otherwise, Toei!

Own up to it! Declare Manatsu/Cure Summer as the Precure queer icon!

I’m not gonna stop yellin’ until you do! 😠

4) Laura = obvious midseason Cure is obvious

First of all, Laura is a babe. I already love her the best and she’s not even Precure yet. <3

Anyways, the set-up is pretty much in the description. Important main character who’s not a mascot, stated to have a self-confident personality and just speaks her mind (oooh, I like~ :D), magical/foreign being from another world looking for Precure to save her home, possesses her own special item(s), has aspirations to become the next Queen (so she’s a princess-candidate or something to that effect, I suppose).

We’ve seen various combinations of these traits in past midseason (and a few starter) Cures so nobody should be surprised when we all guessed that one of the Cures would be a real live mermaid.

The only question is why not just make Laura a Cure from the get-go if she’s introduced to us at the beginning (like Hime or Lala) and having a team of five with no unnecessary extra add-ons later on (like Smile).

Well, there’s a simple answer for that: formula.

Toei is afraid that if they don’t spit out some new animation sequence at the halfway and third quarter points of the show, the kids will lose interest and abandon the series altogether. Which means failed toy sales. Oh nooo... [/sarcasm]

...Yea. 

And this way they can also have Laura available in the Cure lineup for the next All Stars in 2022 instead of making her sit the fight out if we were going to have one in 2021. I’m convinced that’s gotta be one of the reasons. *shrug*

But ok, whatever. Her debut is gonna be later, that’s all. She’s a delayed Cure.  Midseason Cure, same difference.

Moving along to the more important stuff now like what’s her Cure name gonna be, y/y?

Well, knowing Toei, a translation of the term “mermaid” into another language is the most predictable route even though we already have a Cure Mermaid. Not like that ever stopped them from repeating words before (ex. Cure Happy vs Cure Felice). Though if they do go down that road, I hope they opt for the Spanish/Italian “sirena” and not the French “sirène” because the latter sounds too close to how Cure Selene is pronounced in Japanese. And, putting it nicely, we all know Japanese pronunciation of foreign words is as off kilter as can be.

Hell, even the the Portuguese “sereia” sounds aesthetic as hell so it’d be nice if they can just remember there are other languages that exist out there besides Japanese, English and French when making the final decision at the writing table! *stomps foot* >:/

Alternatively, “nereid” or “naiad” are good choices too but they remind me too much of Greek myths and Laura’s from the Grand Ocean which covers more than just a couple of seas (Greece is surrounded by three, btw) so...

I dunno. But whatever it’s gonna be, she’s definitely got a strong association with water and her powers will probably be based on that.

As for theme color, since there’s noticeably no blue or green Cure in the starter lineup, it’s likely she will take up that spot when she debuts around ep 20.

Pink is also open since Cure Summer, again, is technically not a Pink Cure and Laura’s hair and tail fin are hot and light pink respectively but looking at Laura’s design and concept, does anyone seriously believe that?

Her upper torso consists of aquamarine while the body of her tail is definitely some shade of cyan, implying they’re aiming for somewhere around the middle of green and blue on the lighter spectrum.

And yea, I’m aware that green and blue are considered exchangeable in some perspectives with how close some of their shades are to each other but officially, I think Laura’s gonna be grouped with the Green Cures.

Cuz of the hair. If Laura’s gonna keep it the same or a similar shade after transforming, that is. The Blues have always had cool-colored hair so putting Laura in with them might disrupt that harmony whereas if you put her with the few Greens there are (including Parfait), she’d fit right in.

I mean, we’ll see but that makes the most sense, doesn’t it?

On another note, I just want to say that I love how they added frills to her arms instead of letting her elbows go bare naked. It definitely makes her look more like a genuine mermaid than if she didn’t have them (remember, half fish doesn’t mean half the body :P).

5) Magical Items

Frankly, I’m tired of seeing the transformation device being a compact again even though one of the main motifs is make-up this season. But at least, as far as Precure compacts goes, the Tropical one is my favorite cuz of how cute and delightfully colorful its toy version looks! So I guess I’m okay with it.

The Heart Rouge Rod, though? ...I dunno. I think it would’ve been fine without that...straw (?) jutting out at the top. It looks weird, doesn’t it look weird? :S

As for the collectible clip-ons, I can live without those for the rest of my life. Yeesh.

Laura’s items, the Aqua Pot and the Ocean Prism Mirror.

Again with the portable, travel-size housing. *sigh* 😩

Alright, I can let this year slide cuz Laura (I’m so soft for her, omg) probably won’t be getting legs for 20 weeks so she’s got to move about on land somehow. But unless they’re really thinking about turning this idea of carrying your apartment around in your bag/pocket/purse into a reality (cuz that would be effin’ awesome), please be more creative with your toys.

On the other hand, I’m much more interested in the Ocean Prism Mirror but from what Kusyami (the Precure merchandise reviews I follow on Youtube) said in his latest vid, this is the ED dance item so don’t know if it’ll actually have an relevance to the story or not. But I did hear him mention it having something to do with the Queen as well and since Laura wishes to become Queen, maybe it’ll be important after all? Maybe it’s her transformation device?

That’d be super cool. Let’s continue the trend of the midseason Cure having a different transformation item than the starters. Honestly, we should alternate every other year or two but we’ve gone three seasons with all of them using the same henshin gimmicks up till HealPre and I just want a break from that.

6) Fin sleeves??

These look so impractical for combat so maybe it’s exclusive to group attacks.

And/or a sort of precursor to the super forms?

*GASP* Does that mean they all eventually turn into mermaids? 🤩

7) Yui finally became Precure!! 😭

lol, it’s all crack from this point on so don’t take it too seriously but man, after Yuni’s deceptive braids, I thought I wasn’t gonna see anything that reminded me of Yui for a while and lo behold, Sango.

kehehehehehe xD;

Though Yui might be closer to Minori in terms of personal interests (fairytales and storybooks).

8) Akira, the actual Onee-chan version

I didn’t think this when I first saw her but once I read “Onee-san” in her profile, there’s no saving you now. Sorry, Asuka. 😅

Also, damn, do her sandals make her feet look big! Compare them to the heels she wears as Flamingo. Are they even the same?! lololol

9) ...this sounds awfully familiar...
