#this episode is gonna be rough

[comradekatara]

“my first girlfriend turned into the moon” “that’s rough buddy” is adorable not only because zuko positioning himself as sokka’s friend is simply wishful thinking and desperate projection on his part, but because sokka referring to yue as his girlfriend is also just. incredibly lovely. like, back when they were together in the northern water tribe, yue was trying not to explode from overwhelming lust and affection, but meanwhile sokka was like. “we’re literally just friends. this dynamic is nothing more than an innocuous, platonic friendship. the fact that we’ve kissed and clearly want each other and have spent the past month solely in each other’s company talking little strolls around the city and romantic bison rides on appa (and who knows what else) means nothing as long as you just. repress all the emotions and desires and every last shred of humanity you’ve ever had and convince yourself that this is a reasonable way to live a life.” even while yue was adamant that living in utter denial was intolerable, actually, sokka was just like “i don’t get what the big deal is. repression is so easy.” but then yue changed everything by giving up her mortal life to become a spirit, and in the process transcending the human, patriarchal paradigms that prevented their love from being realized. like, if anything, yue wasn’t sokka’s girlfriend, he was her mistress. but then again, yue never wanted hahn; she wanted sokka, and they both knew it. so by shedding those limitations as she sheds her corporality, she is also giving sokka (as well as herself, of course) the permission for them to redefine their relationship on their own terms, beyond simply being forced to succumb to the patriarchal stipulations that dictated the terms of their love. and who knows whether sokka ever admitted it before, to himself or otherwise, but here, in this moment, he can reevaluate what they shared, and instinctively, he knows. she was his first girlfriend. his first love.

#and then she died in his arms . womp womp #(but not rly bc he’s gonna go visit her in the spirit world at aang’s invitation/provocation) #sokka #yue #sokkaxyue #analysis #i guess ? #god…… they make me so….. #yue my beloved 3 episode wonder my principesa my forever girl…. #sokka if he was still in denial: my stunningly beautiful princess friend who wanted me carnally turned into the moon #zuko would still say that’s rough buddy . but there would be a way bigger pause

Jonathan the sims 3 reviewing the photos of (not)Sasha and her definitely very real boyfriend.

he just happens to look a lot like a bunch of stock images

#i did this so quickly please forgive the roughness #currently at episode 57 and the (probably inaccurate) tma john count is at 8 #im gonna need to rewatch the full series to count all the johns properly because on top of being pretty sure that I missed a few I think I #also counted some of them twice because they came up again and I can’t remember the last names for the life of me #tma #the magnus archives #sandwiched art #tom stock photo

the thing about natalie faking javi’s death and then tai bringing javi home is that if nat was capable of being insincere she could play that off fairly easily. there is enough weird unexplainable shit happening around them that she could act confused like, oh i saw his coat stained with blood and jumped to the natural conclusion im so sorry, i dont know what happened. if nat could lie fr it wouldnt be that hard and i think travis would want to believe her enough that he would choose to. the problem is nats entire heart is all over her face. she has a strong moral code and the guilt that she not only lied to travis about his brother’s death but that she also unknowingly left javi alone in the wilderness is going to eat her alive.

#man. the way she looked at travis at the end there… its gonna be ROUGH rough #yellowjackets #yj spoilers #like compared especially to most of the other girls nat rlly is the one with a stronger moral center #as we saw last episode in her heartfelt apology to jackies bones

pathetic little meow meow CANCELLED I'm putting Way into a corner until he learns how to behave what the fUCK

#i knew today's episode was gonna be a rough watch #but jesus fucking christ i did not think they'd actually go there #pit babe #pit babe the series #straw watches things

I'm like, actively not looking forward to the next episode because I know what's gonna happen but let me just say

I have not seen a single show only fully grasp the situation that Egwene is in right now and the sheer hopelessness and horror the situation. I am kinda looking forward to seeing them figure that out

#I think its fine that they don't fully get it I will say #because the next episode is so clearly gonna make people get it based on the teaser alone #so I think the way information is trickling in is affective for the most part #but not seeing people understand how fucked Egwene is is sure something #people being like 'oh she's gonna escape. oh she might get roughed up a bit but she'll probably learn stuff from them to use against them' #like yall #yall really don't get the sheer torture my girl Egwene is about to go through or the the fact that escaping on her own is literally impossi #and the fact that the only people who can help her now will very easily be put in the exact same situation the second they're caught #its FUCKED in here #wheel of time #wot on prime #wot show spoilers #wot book spoilers #egwene al'vere

season one begins and ends on a close-up of rebecca because she’s the one who changes the most and goes through the biggest emotional arc of that season. she receives love and kindness and wisdom, from ted, from keeley, from sassy, and she gets better.

season two begins and ends on a close-up of nate because he’s the one who changes the most and goes through the biggest emotional arc of that season. he gets catapulted to a position of power without working out his issues with the team and with himself, and he gets worse.

season three just began with a close-up of ted. where the fuck are we gonna go from here.

#yeah apologies to my followers but i’m beset with thoughts and emotions and i will not be shutting up #god i just know. this season is gonna be rough for me #i just want ted to be genuinely happy and feel good about himself #and oh god he was so deep in his depression this episode #ted lasso #rebecca welton #nate shelley #afc richmond #ted lasso spoilers

i genuinely love when you can tell an older show was Not made with high quality video viewing in mind. i am watching knight rider and constantly seeing all the little mistakes they surely brushed under the rug thinking nobody would see them on their crunchy little CRTs back in the 80s, that are huge attention grabbers now in HD fullscreen on my 3 foot computer monitor

the biggest one of course is all the drivers/controllers for the (in-universe) self driving car, kitt. there's guys tucked down in the footwells who can't always stay out of the shot. there's a guy who has a Car Seat Suit to blend in and look like the drivers seat from a distance, but you can always tell when that's the method they're using for a particular shot because its so much thicker than the passenger seat next to it and the headrest is missing it's cutout section. in at least one instance he starts taking the suit off too early, on a focus shot of the damn car, so its REAL visible.

all the extremely obvious stunt drivers or performers who look nothing like the character they're supposed to be

props, such as animals, vanishing from the car interior for stunt/race sequences.

the production crew (or their shadows) being visible in the background. only at a glance, but its especially hilarious in shots where nobody else is supposed to be around

the camera panning out from a sound stage set far enough that you can actually see over the edges of the set and into the stage they were filming in. mostly this happens with their truck trailer mobile unit thing.

this one isn't a mistake but every time the car "turbo jumps" they CLEARLY hide the ramp behind another car, a prop, the environment, and its just. so charming. sometimes its blatantly on screen just for a moment. like... of Course in real life this car isn't magically leaping 20 feet, of course its a ramp, but it's still so silly and fun to be reminded of how they were doing those stunts to begin with.

also not really a mistake but related, the bracket they keep on the front of the car for stunt work.... is just left on half the time. cuz it's a pain to take on and off.

and there are more examples that are more unique that haven't cemented themselves in my head well yet, but these are the more notable or common things i see and it's really charming. if i'm not giggling to myself noticing the "seams" and flaws and so human imperfections of your show or movie what EVEN is the point. hollywood is too flashy these days i think!

#liz blogs #knight rider #kr #tv production #1980s #television #i dont even know if this is a 'older tv' thing or if its just a knight rider thing because i've seen all of classic columbo at this point #and i think i can think of... maybe one or two times you saw the edges of a sound stage room. and thats it #i dont know Why its like this i dont know how common it is for shows of the era but i love it to bits. cannot get through an episode #with somebody without pointing out the quirky little things i notice. #y'know what hollywood really can burn there is such a great backlog of media to watch #i need to gif that guy pulling off his Seat Costume in the MIDDLE of the SHOT. that was so fucking funny. my favorite blooper so far #a lot of these have to do with kitt bc he IS a prop but its extremely funny how hard they push the 'HES INDESTRUCTIBLE' thing #and every other boost landing has the car looking like its gonna snap in fucking half like a twig. got some ROUGH landings #i wanna know how many stunt kitts they went through they really beat the shit outta those cars sometimes #i think if this show were free on streaming like columbo way more people on this site would like it it is a weirdly charming little show

no more "fix-it fics". enough "everybody lives au". everybody DIES au. I could make it (canon) WORSE.

#this joke brought to you hilariously not by recent events but in fact rediscovering my old ffn fics from high school #they exist and are easily findable lol #and boyyyy have i not only really not change. but i have MELLOWED on the angst. #if you think my fics are rough now... #literally wrote MULTIPLE fics for a romance-oriented procedural where one or both of the leads died and someone else had to deal with that #hilarious. like. this was 'i know they're gonna get out of this tight spot canon left them in last episode. but what if they didn't. :3' #like say what you will about some of my sadder content but the characters aren't getting MURDERED #also went out of my way to write the cockblock rival LI sympathetically in one scenario #like this character was universally reviled. MEANT TO BE in fact. and several comments were just 'icb you made him impossible to hate' #me at all times: have you considered. this character is not evil. just trying their best and not favored by the narrative but like. fine. #and also do you want to talk about GRIEF? #would love to study my high school self like a bug. who was she. fuck if i remember lmfao #ANYWAY this is genuinely so funny #also damn ffn reviewers were brutal about update times lol #also were not shy about 'WOW this is so ooc' (they were wrong. to be clear. they were mad about a ship thing) #the writing was 'eh' but the specific aspect of the characterization they were mad about was not lol #but also uwu over some of the comments i was looking through last night #some of them were like 'wow someone said this about tiefling fic last week!'
