#the episodes have been good so far!

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

So, I started watching Link Click...

#poorly drawn link click #Link Click #cheng xiaoshi #lu guang #I am only at episode 4 - waiting to watch the rest with my buddy (It's been few weeks and I'm vibrating! I really enjoy it!) #btw I am 100% blind for this show! All I know is that it's Good and Tragic. So NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!! #Once again I am in Clintbeefwood's debt for the recommendation. #I am so intrigued and hooked by this show. I have also nearly cried at every episode so far. #I already feel so many comic ideas buzzing at the back of my brain! #This one is inspired by the end of episode two. Because what the hell was that energy at the end of the episode? #Also the fondness of which they played basketball together. #I am 80% sure they will not kiss nor have romantic inclinations but I enjoy their dynamic immensely #The 20% doubt comes from the very queer coded old lady yuri episode + the inherent homoerotism of doomed timeline stories. #If they do kiss you I'm drawing them making out sloppy style because I *know* one of them is going to die very shortly afterwards.

guys i know we're all focused on the quite literal things that are in the water this season. but what - and I mean, the fuck - is in the metaphorical AND literal water for Iskall and Beef in particular???? what is wrong with either of them (affectionate). both as individuals and when in contact with one another. cannot get enough of their episodes currently

losing it at both their POVs. their interactions have been some of my favorite things ever actually. big salmon is watching btw

/lh /pos

#hermitcraft #mcyt #iskall85 #vintagebeef #seriously I don't think i have ever main POV'd beef and I wasn't planning on focusing my watch time on either of them too much #just because there's so many hermits #but whilst I'm loving all of the perspectives i've been keeping up with #(which. is a lot. I'm up to date on like 14 POVs) #these two are definitely standout #though tbf there are just SO many good perspectives this season. i have watched nearly 15 POVs of the episodes so far #yet i still want to try to watch more #(main channel only btw. wish i could watch vodskall and such but that'd be too much) #hermitcraft season 10 #Skizz on Beef's POV behaving like the right hand man of a mafia boss is a highlight also

100 years late to getting into Digimon. Heres my Digimon Tamers oc Jackie and her super corrupted Impmon Hallow.

Jackie doesn't even play digimon how did she end up with one? Fate it would seem. Even if Hallow is wildly glitchy thats ok she gets sick a lot too.

#digimon tamers #digimon oc #impmon #Im 3 episodes in and every one I know who likes digimon (3 whole people) say that jackie and hallow could work #like guilmon was literally takatos oc and hes real now soooooo #i do what i want /j #if you ask me about them I will love you forever #ignore that these are edits to offical refs I literally have been struggling to draw for over a week now im been able to make 1 #and I mean 1 thing look good so far #i think its work stress

S3 is so good in many ways, but some of my favourite ways are the dynamics

- the fallout between Allison and Viktor feels so real and painful on each end of the dynamic

- Klaus and Reggie? Need I say more?

- Five and Lila being frenemies (I love them so much)

- the Luther and Reginald dynamic!!!! It might have been a quieter thread through S3 but it definitely made itself known especially in 3x08/3x09 and I wanna scream about it so much

- Diego and Stan - just the idea of some kid from 1989 being like sure I'll fuck over a guy I've never met and Diego immediately adopting said kid, no notes

- Sparrow Ben and literally any of the Umbrellas - my dude my guy my emotionally stunted idiot and the embodiment of chaos family bonding:)

#some tua positivity #tbh a season could be terrible but as long as its got good dynamics ill forgive just about anything #that being said s3 is not terrible and is actually really good and has some of the best episodes to come out of tua so far #i figured ive been negative about tua recently so why not add a lil positivity #cause i do love this show i just also have criticisms #the umbrella academy #umbrella academy #tua #tua s3

live footage of me out for a walk while listening to the magnus protocol episode 7

#been listening to episodes during my work commute #this time i was walking just being like jon??? hilltop??? celia references meat and being buried??? she recognizes computer voice??? #having a good time with this show so far it reminds me of the early episodes of tma #pie says stuff #the magnus protocol #tmagp

[clown-eating-pig]

one of the more random things that disturb me about tma is simply the existence of the gorilla skin. like..........why. what was up with that.

#tma #tma podcast #the magnus archives #There are quite honestly a small amount of things I found genuinely disturbing about tma #Most of the episodes just got a good 'hm' out of me on the horror scale #But animals!!!! Animals scare me!!!!! #And I think I understand that the importance of it so far as the ritual goes #Was the fact that it was a special relic #But it also just makes me think about how terrifying it must have been #To have come across a gorilla before they were widely known animals #This somewhat human looking thing #That's big #And very possibly hostile/territorial #And then I think of all the horror stories surrounding chimps and ehhhhhhhh #The Ape skin is just very very scary to me lmaooo 😭 #Like I probably would have been less freaked out by ancient human skin #So yeah #My top discomforts with tma so far are the murder pig and the ape skin #Who cares? #Idk!!! #This is my blog and I feel like chattin it up with myself!!!!

I don’t know when it began. But I realized I’ve become more worried about you. More concerned. The more I wish to kiss you.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo features an autistic female lead who loves whales and doesn't know how to return hugs, a male lead played by Kang Tae Oh, and a secondary character who regularly misses out on fun and important events because of moderate to severe gastrointestinal issues. Like this drama was literally made for me.

#i know its only been two episodes guys but im really impressed with the writinf #writing* #i know there are misgivings about her being a genius but overall the show's writing is very nuanced #in showing that yes maybe shes good at memorizing law but she still has her own unique issues to overcome #but she also isn't singled out in having unique issues because they included a character with GI problems #who has to eat porridge at the company dinner because her stomach is weak #like !!!!! #anyway im enjoying this one so far #extraordinary attorney woo #woo young woo #tldr as a neurodivergent person who experiences frequent gastrointestinal distress and is in love with kang taeoh i feel so seen

okay. i need to rewatch the episode probably but i think my current feeling is that i like most of it a lot (rome, ken, the siblings not getting ceo, etc), think the tom ceo makes sense from a logical/character perspective but not sure how i feel about it from a broader more thematic lens (altho i'm leaning towards fine with it), and am very mixed on shiv's ending because i think it's well-conceived and meaningful from a broader thematic lens (shiv becomes her mother, the cycle always repeats, etc) but doesn't quite make sense to me from a logical/character one -- it could've worked, it could've worked brilliantly, but it was far too rushed and forced. it makes sense as an ending for shiv, but not her next step. i'm largely talking about her decision to return to tom, not her decision to vote against kendall (which i think should've been executed better and given more space but can understand given her character, mostly). i'm fine with it as an ending for shiv, but what i'm struggling to stomach is the way it played out -- it didn't feel like a choice the shiv we know would've made. it's an ending that makes sense thematically and for her character arc, but not a decision that makes sense for her character at present. that's kinda where i'm at right now

#long shiv post talking ab this upcoming lol #bc so far i haven't seen like any shiv takes i've actually agreed with #it's either entirely anti ending or pro ending #whereas like. to me the ending works as an ending for the character. it's tragic dark devastating but it works and works well #but shiv making that choice does not make sense for where she is right now. it was rushed writing that forced an ending on her #that would be a satisfying ending but not a satisfying character choice and thus NOT a super satisfying ending #could've been EXTREMELY satisfying. but shiv wasn't there yet. her fatal flaw is blowing up good situations when she feels she's being #disrespected -- she's respect > power when it comes down to it #even tho she thinks she wants power more she NEEDS respect and is unable to stay quiet or make the smart choice in the face of disrespect #or men thinking they're superior etcetcetc. so her making a choice that allots her power (wife of CEO) but is the singular least respecting #outcome imaginable (meekly returning to your husband who betrayed you and stole the job you've been fighting for your entire life right out #of your grasp alongside your closest ally/flirt guyfriend who tapped him to do it explicitly to fuck you over because you're a pregnant #woman and thus inferior to the man who inseminated you -- and EVERYONE KNOWS ALL OF THIS! everyone knows you're the daughter of #the previous CEO and on two separate instances were meant to be CEO and now the weak man you married publicly betrayed you TWICE #but you still meekly return to him and place your hand in his and have his baby like the good pawn you are...) #that does not make sense for shiv. if we saw some development on the power > respect front or had a few more scenes or episodes developing #shiv as someone who would choose to become her mother (powerful and rich yet a disrespected pawn) over literally anything else #given her fundamental fear of being disrespected than maybe this would've made sense. it could be a great meaningful devastating ending #but it's one that just does not track for shiv as we know her right now. #ok tags got long as always sorry LOL i'm gonna write a longer thing explaining my hashtag thoughts bc i haven't seen much i agreed w on thi #front yet oops. ok bye 4 now tee hee #succession #succession spoilers #casey shut the fuck up about shiv roy

Currently feel like I'm mostly normal about Fantasy High Junior Year -

But I'm really hoping this next episode is where I start to feel unhinged about it

#fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #it's usually when some big character swing happens #so far all the swings have been fairly low key #but I have a good feeling about this week's episode #dimension 20 #just fandom stuff

Episode 4 is my favorite so far. Live blogging thoughts beneath the cut.

FUCK YES S1 GAMORA'S STORY. This immediately makes up for my ep 3 mehs.

FUCK YES 2012 AVENGERS TONY.

THE GRANDMASTER, YES <3

TONY'S RELIEF UPON SEEING PEPPER. MY HEART.

Tony saying he put his party days behind him--again, MY HEART.

Only 4 mins into the ep and all I can think is that the writers are doing a damn good job with this Tony.

Valkyrie!!!!!!! MY LOVE, YAS!

Tony saying the following to GAMORA, of all characters, got me in the feels: "Victory? Glory? People died. I lost a friend. Do you know what it's like to see your home world destroyed? Almost brought to its knees by a madman?"

TONY HEARING THE GRANDMASTER SAY HE WASN'T A HERO BUT A NASTY MAN AND THEN TONY NOT ZAPPING GAMORA!!!!!!!!

SDKFJALDJSFSALDJFLAJDF

I LOVE THIS EP. LOVE.

Tony & Valkyrie kicking ass together is a vibe <3

BAMF Gamora <3 yasssss

Tony building shit <3 with a lil fuzzy critter on his shoulder <3

...how does Tony know campground rules 🤨 Howard did not take him camping. My first thought was Rhodey, but I bet it was Jarvis. FEELS. 😥

Grandmaster calling Gamora a moppet of Thanos and finishing that exchange with "Daughter, really? [scoffs] Sure, I'll stick to that story, too," was fucking brutal. Fantastic writing here, too, showing Gamora outside perspectives on her father and their relationship.

I want to give a huge fucking hug to whoever wrote this Tony because I love him. 100% spot on for what I'd expect from 2012 Tony after surviving, realizing Pepper was safe, and figuring out he might be able to get home. No perving, no giving into hedonism--only righteous anger for others being treated badly. Respecting and trusting and bonding with the individuals he meets <3 Tony's so charismatic and this is showcased perfectly. AND ACKNOWLEDGING HIS DADDY ISSUES AND TRYING TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE WITH THEIR OWN?? I JUST. MY. HEART.

Jeff Goldbum has so much fun with Grandmaster and it shows <3

The feels when Gamora gave Tony her name <3

King Valkyrie of Sakaar, yassssss.

Tony needing to get home to Pepper... AGAIN, MY HEART.

Tony and Gamora bonding and having each other's backs and taking down Thanos??? FUCK YES.

I loved this ep. As a Tony fan, this ep went HARD and it did not have to do that but it did and I just. jfdlajsflajsd. FLAILS, FEELS, ALL THE THINGS.

#what if #what if s2 #what if s2 spoilers #s2e4 #what if iron man crashed into the grandmaster #my brain is still squeeing #no thoughts #only squee #so many new ships unlocked #from tony/grandmaster to gamora/valkyrie to tony/pepper/gamora #shipping goggles aside #this episode was SO GOOD #SO SO SO SO GOOD #the part of me that adores tony stark is speechless #no notes #just happy happy happy #well done to the writers of that ep #they understood the characters AND the assignment #i've been waiting to see if any eps would have the same emotional impact as stephen's in s1 #this is the closest so far but the emotion is happiness instead of angst #i would have enjoyed more gamora but i think she needed time off-screen to process what everyone was saying about thanos #i hope we see her again this season #that second korg reference to rock/paper/scissors cracked me up too #lbr mcu korg is a taika self-insert but i appreciate his korg in appropriate amounts

the new reverse 1999 event story is SO good!! i'm still blown away by the storytelling in this game, it's rare for me to keep reading everything after the first few... days (lol) of picking up a gacha but from day one to now i've been reading all the things

i think while the stories aren't necessarily super special/original/revolutionary or anything like that, they're nice and comfortable executions of familiar tropes (especially well done in this event where it's clearly deliberately tropey) that i really enjoy

and imo the translation has improved again, especially in the early chapters of the story. the first i think... two chapters? were like nearly perfect and a pleasure to read

there were still typos and errors littered throughout, but i feel like they've grown much more scarce. so really kudos to the team for making improvements on that front, and hopefully they keep it up!

(eta: unfortunately the tooth fairy side story still seems quite bad in terms of translation... fingers crossed these don't get neglected in the future because they seem pretty important for character lore)

#crab plays #reverse 1999 #won't get into spoilers here but glad to see the writing is as GAY AS EVER hell yea #i'm surprisingly... happy with? fond of? the way the event stories are like #unapologetically all over the place #they don't spend too much time telling us Exactly where/when we are #which is very practical since players doing the events might be at different points of the main story #but it also gives me an enjoyable like monster of the week episode feeling? #the stories have the potential to be so different in theme/mood/atmosphere etc #and so they stay feeling fresh imo #well it's only been two major events so far lol so we'll see if that keeps up but so far! really good!!

I've only watched the first nine episodes of the fan sub of the Katrielle Layton anime, but I've cried at about half of them and the thing is that, so far, all of them have just been about love. And not necessarily romantic love, but the love between estranged brothers, childhood friends, parents and children - even episodes that don't seem like it, like the Ratman one, are about love. The love a child feels for his heroes. The love a father feels for his family. Or the one with the jewel thefts, that was just someone trying to protect the community that they love.

It is all love.

#layton's mystery journey #layton mystery tanteisha #katrielle layton #anime #it just... #*clenches fist* #it's about love #like two of the episodes have been romantic love #(but even one of those also included the love a mother feels for her daughter) #which as someone on the aro spectrum i really appreciate #i do think romantic love is important but i also think that other love is far far far more important and powerful #the next episode is apparently the return of the good professor tho so we'll see if the love still holds up #i mean you would think it would because... family #but what the FUCK does 'if you're not my child who are you' MEAN #queue takumi defense squad #professor cody

I personally am so happy that the episode was all a dream because I’m okay with there not being macdennis but if they had confirmed Dennis as a killer i would have been devastated. I do wish they’d explore more of his emotions tho- especially since Glenn has said he misses playing those colors. Like he’s got Big Feelings! This was more of his rage- but it’s a step up that he was able to curb that rage I guess?

Also people are saying it’s joever for macdennis but like… they didn’t fight or anything right? They’re still super close- and remember Frank vs Russia? That’s still a thing

Disclaimer I’ve just been seeing people’s post about it I haven’t watched this ep but I do wish it wasn’t the finale or they’d at least end it with a scene of the gang together

#also disclaimer I haven’t seen a full Iasip episode #thank GOD it was all in Dennis’ head like I know he’s a terrible person but having him be a serial killer is too far #and not the way his character’s been heading at all #it was just a coping technique for him #a messed up one but a coping technique nonetheless #also guys. macdennis could still happen it’s not like this episode disproved it at all #maybe s17 will be macdennis season but I hope it’s more of the gang as pals #anyway I heard the first half of this episode was funny and that Glenn shines so there’s that #but again missed opportunity for a real Dennis development episode #not even macdennis just exploring Dennis’s nuances and his place in the group #post ddl you know like he really belongs to the gang #and he’s trying to express himself better #(macden moment but no callback to do you want a tissue but whatever) #so yeah I’m more chill about it than I was but we were all so hyped for this Wo #they can’t all be bangers #but overall s16 seemed to be a marked improvement compared to the past few seasons so that’s good #according to the fandom on multiple sites #anyway This Is A Comedy #Iasip #dtamhd #dennis takes a mental health day #dennis reynolds #Iasip spoilers
