Anyway the fact that so many of the people who belittled and tormented josh probably looked and acted exactly like kirin…josh admits something so personal and horrifying and you know he’s expecting to be ridiculed…and then kirin not only believes him without hesitation but becomes his fiercest defender and takes josh under his wing and makes him feel protected…I’m emo

My absolute favorite thing about the "ditto, bitch" scene is how Fatin reacts (or technically doesn't react) to what Shelby is saying.

There's no realizations. No sudden understanding. Her eyes don't shift. She doesn't look away. She doesn't even twitch.

She already knew. She knows why she's doing what she's doing. She knows she loves Leah.

Sophia made a beautiful choice to not react surprised to the fact that Fatin is in love, and that that love is where all of her motivation is coming from.

[imhereforthetvshows]

So at The Wilds season 2, episode 8, minute 11 Fatin admits she is in love with Leah

yup.. that’s my interpretation but it’s the obvious one

Like. Y’all get that the point of the boys is that the deck is stacked against them and they fail right? That’s the point? The girls succeed and the boys fail??

The team members say that the boys and girls have equal threats and you just believe them?

Gretchen sent her son there as punishment and y’all really said “yeah, that seems reasonable and the only bad thing she’s ever done.”

Like who Seth is was purposeful? You think that Gretchen didn’t know who she was putting out there?

The girls are meant to be “the rise of Eve” and boys are literally called “the fall of Adam” and you wonder why there are boys here??

The Wilds Season 2 Thoughts: Episodes 7 and 8

I've been dreading these eps. Not just for the angst. For the uncertain future ahead. But here we go.

-Rachel taking charge is a really nice character choice

-The splinter in the boys group is interesting, but I just don't have enough investment in the characters for it to mean much.

-For my money, Toni making Dot feel guilty after she saved Martha's life is just as bad as any guilt she puts on Shelby.

-Part of what I hate about how the show treats Toni is they never seem to give her enough moments to be strong. All the girls get their ugly moments, but they also seem to get moments of great strength to balance that out, and I feel like that's lacking for Toni.

-I have to say, Seth is a pretty well done character. Acting like a romantic comedy lead while being a predator is an upsettingly real choice.

-Not what I should have focused on, but damn, they couldn't have photshopped that Navy Pier picture a little better?

-Look, I don't hate the boys. I don't. But it's not great that my favorite male character on the show, with the possible exception of Agent Young, has been Hallucination Ben Folds.

-And so we get to the scenes I’d been dreading for a year….I was prepared for fighting, yelling, tear filled breakup scenes. This was worse, though. The silence. The short accusing, look. The small,quiet disdainful comments. And finally that damn head shake. It broke my heart so bad.

That said, I do understand Toni’s mind in this moment.  Not defending it, not saying it’s all healthy, to Shelby, to the others, or to her. But I understand it based on what we’ve seen of her struggle with her emotions. Just last episode her girlfriend telling her she loved her caused her to snap at all her friends. Of course something like this is going to send her spiraling. And of course her brain is going to go to an angry place and bring her back to that thought that maybe if Shelby had acted, Martha could be in a hospital right now. That’s not fair to Shelby, and I think deep down Toni knows it. But she can’t turn it off. It’s why she barely says anything to her because she doesn’t want to say something she can’t take back. For me, when she agrees with Shelby that there’s no way back, it’s not because she thinks Shelby is unforgivable, but because she doesn’t think she can get herself out of the ugly headspace she’s in. I think she regrets it soon after. Certainly in the bunker. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s where “when you’re alone, all you can hurt is yourself” comes from. Hell, I kind of wonder if the copter hadn’t shown up when it did, if she might not have tried to make amends with Shelby right there.

-As frustrating and heart breaking as it is, Erana acted the hell out of Toni’s breakdown/lashing out.

-Geez, after months of us cooing over Shoni sharing clothes, they really knew how to use that to break our damn heart.

-I remain sad that Toni gets little to do out side of the Shelby or Martha relationships. Obviously  l love Goodfoe together so much, as well as her sisterhood with Martha, but she’s got so much potential as a character on her own and it feels so unfulfilled.  

-It's a bad wig, but I actually do kind of like Shelby’s trauma haircut.

-The bar scene. I cannot believe it. We got an AU in the show. Amazing.

-So. Femme Toni. I have mixed feelings. Obviously, she looks amazing. And as someone who mostly resides in the masc realm, but likes to step into high femme from time to time, I actually really connect with seeing a masc girl go femme. But. It's also a very short walk to devaluing what has been put forward for Toni thus far. But it's also Shelby's dream, so who knows if it has deeper meaning? I don't know. It simultaneously kind of wowed me and really rubbed me the wrong way. Which is kind of this season in a nutshell.

-Thinking on it, maybe it was to give us a sign from the beginning that something was off? Using some dream logic? I dunno. It's a choice, I'll give them that.

-So Shelby's working for Gretchen. But based on the dream, and her muffled scream at the beginning, it's not something she feels good about. Based on the song choice, maybe it was the only way to bring Martha back? I really hope we get season 3 so I get can get some answers.

-Rachel taking care of Martha for two eps is fueling my Reidburn ship.

“I never won't love her.” That is such a beautifully awkward expression of undying love.

-Canon Leatin. I cannot believe it. What a beautiful thing.

-I'm dead serious. Hallucinatory Ben Folds is my favorite man on this show.

-Back in season 1, when we hadn't seen Martha in the flashfowards, I had a hunch....that she might take over Nora's role as the confederate....I still think it's a possibility, for the record....at least I think she's involved, if only as a bargaining chip.

-The boys were fine.They were. But the girls are amazing. And giving me half of a good show and half of an amazing show is so damn frustrating.

-The Toni/Shelby bunker reunion is of course, way too brief. That moment of them looking around and suddenly staring right at each other could have been beautiful but they rushed it. Still, it’s a nice picture of where I think they’ll go if we get a season 3. I think Toni will try and reconnect with Shelby and Shelby will be uneasy around her because she doesn’t want to lie to her…

-Seriously, this all works so much better if it's a cult rather than a social experiment.

-This better not be where the show ends. The cast trapped on an island with Seth. That would be so goddamn depressing.

-The acting on the girls side was fantastic throughout, but I think MVP of the season has to go to Reign Edwards.

-I love this show. I hate this show. I'm meh about this show. It's such a goddamn rollercoaster.

-See you in season 3? I hope. I'm not optimistic. But I'm not hopeless either.

seeing some people saying that ivan x kirin is

the same as shoni

repressed jock bully/open gay victim trope

darlings, have you seen the show or did you just skip through the boy parts ?

#which part of this show gave you such an idea #because in the show i watched any bullying involved between these two was mutual #i can admit that both of them are to be blamed for the locker room scene and both of them should apologise #bht also did you watch the scene there is no indication that kirin is a malicious bigot who wanted to scream slurs at ivan #and there is no indication after #they have extremely toxic past but they are GROWING and at the end of s2 they arent the same people they were in the flashback #its not a bully/victim dynamic because nothing about the flashback suggests that kirin ever bullied ivan so #also they have entire messy past that makes their relationship complex and mess and really intriguing to watch #the wilds season 2 spoilers #the wilds spoilers #kirin o'connor #kirin o'conner #kirin × ivan #ivan taylor #the only thing same between them and shelby and toni is one jock one gay one repressed

[nothingiseverboobsoricecream]

Okay but can we talk about how Dot was just pushed to the sidelines for all of season 2. I firmly believe she's the glue that holds the girls together and it was disappointing to see her get pushed to the side.

I really want a scene of dot and toni and about losing a parent (in different ways) and how that has affected them. Dot deserves to talk to someone about her dad and toni deserves to have her back story explored a bit more

One thing you can’t say about the boys is that they weren’t entertaining

HAD A BALL WATCHING THOSE SHIT TALKERS

Like I love the girls but it was hilarious seeing the boys cat fight every other scene they had

Like Henry singing black parade while Gretchen and Agent Faber try to figure out what happened to make the boys fall apart?? Comedy gold

Scotty and Ivan arguing while Bo was trying not to laugh and Henry wished he wasn’t there? Hilarious

Kirin ranting and almost falling off Josh’s suitcase?? Almost cried

They were so catty to each other sometimes while the girls all were in love with each other

Adding boys to the Wilds did not ruin the show in any way you dumbasses. In fact, it made it better.

Honestly, you know what? To everyone who thinks that adding boys to the wilds and giving them screen time was a bad move, unnecessary or "ruined the show": what the hell are you even talking about? Like, are you *listening* to yourself? Have you ever taken two seconds to sit down and *think* about what you're saying?

In other words, don't you think it is PAINFULLY ironic how a show that is so clearly trying to make a statement against radical feminism has a fanbase so filled with radfems? Like I'm honestly trying to understand how y'all watch this show without a single critical thought. Literally no thoughts just vibes.

I mean, lemme break it down for you rq. We have Gretchen Klein there as the main villain, a certified TERF who leads a project with incredibly unscientific and unethical research methods to prove that women have better leading qualities than men. She willingly sabotages the boy group by choosing a man with a history of violent behavior and assault as an operative. It even is implied that she did know about the jaguar on the island and therefore did plan to make survival harder for the boys, but that's just assumption on my part mainly. However, some of y'all still seem to AGREE with her?? I've seen so horrible takes on this that I can't even begin to break down how fucked up your ways of thinking are in this regard.

Even saying, hey, the boys are there to uplift the girls' storyline, they show that the girl group is superior in every way, it's all not that bad guys – that's also a horrible take if you ask me. Thanks to seth, the boys got zero chance to actually prove themselves the way the girls did. He took the leading role from the start and then lashed out on members of the group, inevitably ruining the team dynamics built there. By the way, the girls didn't even have to make an initiative for punishment or exile because none of them fucked up bad enough to the point of no redemption. Because they don't have a psychopath among them.

And I don't mean to take away the girls' credit. They've been traumatized, they had rough patches, they had interpersonal conflicts and faced horrible challenges and all managed it as a team. Plus, they figured out that the plane crash was a setup (mainly leah because she has a galaxy brain but fatin and shelby also did a pretty good job). I'm just saying that the boys' interpersonal dynamics were what ruined them and those have been heavily sabotaged by seth.

Okay, so now let's get to the even more controversial part of why it is Not Okay to bitch about the boys getting a narrative. When I said gretchen was a terf I meant it. I'm going as far to say that trans *inclusive* radical feminism is per se not possible because it would be a contradiction in itself. In an ideology that says one binary gender is better than the other, social norms and genetics have to play a role, otherwise – why would one be better than the other? It's bullshit, of course, but radfems (and misogynists for that matter) think it's true. Trans people do not and never will have a place in radical feminism. And personally I find it *kind of* icky that trans people don't seem to play a role at all in the wilds, however, it does make sense that gretchen only picked cis people for her experiment, because again, terf.

You do not get to form your ideology around trans people and I don't give a shit about how much that pisses you off. If you say you hate all men but exclude trans men you're transphobic. If you say you hate all men and include trans men you're making no sense. And like, enbies exist, you know. What about us?

And by the way, from the narrative perspective alone was it *absolutely necessary* to include the boys in the show. Like, that was a setup from the start. And, personally, I enjoyed the hell out of them. Some of their arcs fell pretty flat compared to the girls and their backstories, but the boys also had a lot less screen time in general. But the characters seemed real and you have to admit at least some of them were genuinely likable. And their dynamics and storyline were really interesting.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. (If you lack critical thinking skills you can fuck right off but if you have something good to add, do so. Especially if you're trans!)

The Wilds Season 2 Review: Part 4

LEATIN BABY:

Even with all of the tension in the first episode, the chemistry was there

Fatin's face when Leah is laughing at the pinata

"Home is whenever I'm with you" *ZOOM IN ON LEAH CRADLING FATIN'S FACE IN HER HANDS*

Waterfall date. This is like the first super soft conversation that they have had in a really long time

"said with love"

"DITTO BITCH. DIFFERENT HER. SAME SORTA IDEA" Fatin. Ma'am

"the voices you love" after Fatin's scream is heard

super soft looks at the hot spring

"you're the strongest fucking person I know"

falls into hug

holding hands

Leah looking at Fatin while they're laughing at Toni

Bunker reunion

Fatin with zero hesitation following Leah even though she has no idea what's going on

I'm not even mad that they didn't become a thing this season. This slow burn feels so genuine and is truly fun to watch. I have a feeling it's only gonna get stronger from here
