Losing this thought as I type it but like, Spike is a fixer-upper in the "this old house" kind of way rather than a plastic surgery "fixing God's mistakes" kind of way. (?)

Like he wasn't all wrong from the start but boy was he made to feel that way. So he let himself be renovated. By Dru, by Angel, by the society he escaped from. All that paint over his woodwork.

And I don't think Buffy ment to do a restoration of Spike. I think it was more she saw a corner of the ugly paint job peeling and just couldn't resist picking at it like a scab. And before you know it we have a "honey? Did you know there's wood floor under all this?"

forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.

#or just the moral dilemmas #rewatching amc interview is kind of making me insane #that moment in episode two when louis is looking for a sort of assurance in the fact that lestat may actually have some good in him #look at how he cares about music look at the simple wondrous things that can bring him joy #and then the immediate dread when the opera performance turns out to be imperfect because he knows how lestat will react to *that* #I think there’s also something really interesting in the highlighting of lestat upbraids the less skilled singer before killing him #(slowly) #but also I will wait to watch more before I articulate my thoughts #vampires #interview with the vampire #amc interview with the vampire #i ramble sometimes #I do still find the lestat and claudia film and novel dynamic by far the most compelling for how she tries to usurp him but almost to be him #but I’m enjoying this #I’m very curious if I will like show claudia more on rewatch #the movie always resonated most with me (sue me lol) because there seemed to be more simultaneous fondness and attachment even at the end

SEASON 5 I'm ready to cry again

- love how these specific kryptonian look robotic

- Clark's so hot powerless beating up Lex and saving the day in general

- hidden just furthers my Clark is the one for Lana but Lana isn't the one for Clark story

- lol Lois always playing hard to get

- she's gorgeous she can't make it too easy

- the dance scene Lois is so me

- lol Clark's parents not knowing Chloe knows

- they really did focus on Lex a lot. Which is fine, but the poor dude

What even is season 5. I don't remember it being this emotional the first time around. I mean yeah obviously the Kents go through stuff and it's sad but it just keeps piling

- post reckoning Clark and Lana was... a choice

- how does Martha even come the conclusion Lionel wants to be more than friends. Gross terrible awful wtf

- "all the people you're going to murder" such a damn line by Lex's mother of all people??? Incredible

- directed by Tom Welling!!!!!

- Clark Kent was born to be a father

- Brainiac. Very sexy he should get his little finger swords out more often. Definitely appreciate his villainy more now

- ok seriously I'm really enjoying brainiac this time around. And Lois. Rest of season is mediocre at best

- I am not a Chloe and Clark shipper. Like at all. But that kiss in the finale does get me

- Lex and Lana are truly awful can't wait for season 6 where it gets supremely worse!

People talk a lot about Bakugou’s possible intentions for being an ass to Midoriya, like some tragic backstory, but it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding. From Bakugou’s perspective, he’s unloved by everyone. He never understood that Midoriya just LIKES him. To Bakugou, he is the most determined manipulator of all time. Him secretly having a quirk basically confirmed that to Bakugou. The real reason their relationship improves after their fight in season 3 is because he realizes, “Oh. He just… cares about me.” Knowing what little we know about his relationship with his mother and her constant belittling, it makes perfect sense that he tries to make up for his actions only after putting them in hindsight.

sooooo funny how laurance is a traumatized undead servant of hell (or hell homologue) and also a little bit of a slut and garroth is a stoic guard who ran away from his corrupt family to a small village that he devotes himself wholeheartedly to protecting and yet between the two of them laurance is the one who's like "i can fix him"

I don’t think I’m ever gonna get over the sheer amount of religious symbolism present in toh finale

The colonial puritan, this white man, trying in vain to become God in the only way he knows how, through fire and brimstone and absolute control, only for Actual God (one of MANY, mind you) to be this casual, kind, bi-gender being who presents to Luz, a mortal, through a combination of the things that have loved and protected her son (Hooty, Eda’s bad girl coven shirt, the glyphs that Luz uses) and who wants magic to be accessible to all so they can enjoy and experience life, who tells jokes, and wants the first and last thing said to his son directly from her to be a bread pun about how much he loves him

How the symbol of a Winged Being Shrouded in Light who helps guide and save is this wild witch who’s imbued in this pagan magic, who’s fully embraced and accepted her disabilities and the very things Belos deemed wrong through the eyes of his ideology

How The Archive is this halo atop the head of the god figure, how it begins to fall and crumple the moment Belos takes over to reach his idea of godhood

The Titan’s body, controlled by Belos, reaching towards the heavens in the same image of Adam in The Creation, trying to touch God, the idea of touching what gave life to everything as symbolized by his connection with Adam, everything being obliterated where it stands while this is happening, and then how only in being bereft of Belos’s soul did life finally return to what is posed as Adam, without the need of the God imagined by Belos

Etc. etc. etc.

There is just,, so much

I am in shambles

#toh #the owl house #toh spoilers #watching and dreaming #the owl house spoilers #I just got done rewatching it while fully awake for the first time and I am RAMBLING #i have so much more to say #I just know I’ll NEVER recover

bbc merlin - 03x02 The Tears of Uther Pendragon II

i've said it once and i will say it again: the kindness in this show is as hated as magic. it's the parallel. it is the kindness in these characters that sets everything alight, the same fire that often follows those who use magic, haunting them. you can argue about rights and wrongs, but this is what it always ultimately comes back to. it's merlin's kindness that keeps him from blindly following fate. it's morgana's kindness that first allows her to taste that hatred, the one that's gonna settle deep within every inch of her softness. it's kindness that makes them fight and kindness that holds them back. it's the prayer and the song of the executioner. all of it, and i mean all of it, can be and is attributed to magic too. it's one in the same. it's love and it's hate. the dark and the light. the poison and the cure. it's everything.

#been wanting to make this post forever #and it just so happened that this episode fir my point quite well #i am however also very tired rn #so excuse the rambles #merlin rewatch #bbc merlin #03x02 #s3 #merlin #kilgharrah

Ah season four, Spikes stray cat phase. Straight up gets capture released and drags his neutered ass back to the people who feed him.

His food is drama btw, he barely needs the mugs of blood.

Unoriginal thought of the day, a first words leverage ot3 soulmate au is especially fascinating when you think that the non-Nate crew all technically met for the first time during the roshamon job. So you've got an absolute cocktail of reasons that they wouldn't notice, or wouldn't do anything about, meeting their soulmates because they're all working. It would only be in hindsight that they would realize and try to piece it together and as we see their memory is fallible. Not to mention you've got three criminals assuming they're soumates with civilians, even if they did remember fresh off the job, it would be a liability. Then years later and you're sitting in a bar with people you connect with on a level you've never connected with anybody before; talking about the one job that got botched and listening to everyone speak, hearing these familiar moments, you realize that they were there to. How would they react, how closely to the chest do you play it when it's your turn to speak or as they're laying their story out for you.

#leverage #leverage ot3 #roshamon job #some late night ramblings #i was actually thinking about specific niche variations on the first words thing #but its been like a whole three months since ive rewatched and i cant actually remember what everyones first words were #so take this instead

White Collar is insane to me, yes I understand that I have an unhealthy obsession with late 2000s/early 2010s network television but White Collar is objectively the strangest one of the bunch to be obsessed with tbh. Like Neal Caffrey on paper is not an interesting guy and he is frankly annoying, but like Matthew Bomer was crazy for this, he is so fucking good at playing him and making him a character you want to root for. Neal Caffrey is the worst but he wants to be good so badly, he is a slave to his emotions but he tries so hard to be rational, he thinks he's the best but he is full of self-loathing, I am so normal about him (i am delusional)

#meg rambles #white collar #neal caffrey #white collar rewatch #peter burke #i am delulu #delulu posting #I am also back on my wc/dc shit #He wants to be just a guy so badly #but he is incapable of it because he is an idiot #There is nothing in his head and yet there is so much
