“maybank? you’re goin’ on fuckin’ date with maybank?” rafe barks, and you sit back at the table. you’re at the country club, and rafe is grabbing the attention of all the surrounding tables with his tone. 
you shoot the family with the toddlers sitting next to you and your trio of boys an apologetic look, turning your gaze to rafe and hardening.
“shut up, rafe,” you say with a smile, trying not to discern any more attention from nearby strangers. the waitress comes by again, and you smile at her. “can i get a lemo-”
“we need a minute. go.” rafe snaps at her, and she shoots him a look dirtier than the one the parents the table over had.
“that was so rude, rafe. what is wrong with you?” you question, rolling your eyes. you reach into your purse to pull out your compact and your lip gloss while topper and kelce sit back and watch the show, taking it in.
“i don’t fuckin’ care what it was. you’re not going out with that pogue-” on cue, you roll your eyes again. “do that again and i’ll smack ‘em out your fuckin’ head.” 
you snap the compact shut, huffing at your so-called friend.
“you can’t tell me what to do.”
“the fuck i can’t-”
“you’re my friend, remember? not my dad.”
“watch your fuckin’ mouth or i’ll go tell your dad-”
“he’s not gonna care! he actually wants me to have fun, unlike you.” you turn to kelce and topper, who are snickering to themselves. “are you idiots gonna help me? or just keep laughing like little girls?”
“those pogues are bad news,” top finally throws in. “maybe you should listen to rafe.” 
“for once,” rafe mutters. 
“i heard that, asshole,” you shoot back. you turn away from top and rafe, focusing on kelce and smiling sweetly. “aren’t you on my side, kelce?” you bat your lashes quickly—it always works on him.
“sorry princess. i’m with rafe on this one.” you roll your eyes again.
“thank you. thanks. you gonna listen now?” rafe asks, his gaze planted firmly on you. it wanders just for a second—the blue dress you’re wearing today is one of his favorites. “those fuckin’ pogues sunk top’s boat. you-you gonna ignore that just ‘cause he throws you a line?”
“you’re a jackass, rafe.” the mom at the table next door is throwing you the dirty look now. “you’re all just assuming it was them since you wanna have a reason to torment them. you have no proof, besides your stereotypical-”
“actually, there’s a video of it. heyward and your little boyfriend,” top throws in, and you turn to stare at him with your angry gaze. rafe is staring too, mad that topper even referred to him as your anything.
“oh. sorry about your boat top-” you concede finally.
“thanks.”
“but i’m not canceling my date.” 
“what’s it gonna take for you to see those pogues for what they are, huh? they’re not like us, kid. they’re fuckin crazy-”
“crazier than you? hard to believe.”
“ready to order?” the waitress asks, not nearly as chipper as before.
“yes!”
“no.”

i absolutely love talking to you 🥰🥰
oof honestly i can feel that with the fantasy slump, i hit that with contemporary romance this year. it will come back, i know, just wait for the urge to hit again (sounds easy i know i’m NOT BRUSHING OFF YOUR SLUMP IT SUCKS MY APOLOGIES)
i’m actually really enjoying the all souls trilogy!!!!! i think what’s so interesting about it is that it’s … the opposite of what booktok would want. there’s lots of lingering in scenes, drenched in detail and tidbits that don’t *really* matter but add to the characters and scenery. it’s def not a quick read - hello it’s gonna take me weeks to finish the second book - which i think could turn a lot of people off. it’s hard to explain until you try it out! but i absolutely LOVE the vibe. i’m not really for ~vampire romance~ but i will tell you, matthew and diana are THE best couple ever. their dynamic is so delicious. they have amazing dialogue and you can just feel the chemistry between them, i can’t like they actually make me insane they’re SUCH an underrated couple!! idk there’s just something in the way they’re written that makes me scream
(would love to buddy read with you next year!! we can easily do the odyssey <3)
oh nooooooo :( i feel like not a lot of contemp romanec has hit for me this year, if that makes you feel better (i think literally only seven year slip?). and you're not brushing off my slump at all! i think everyone i know has really been slumping this year. which just sucks.
and oooooooooh i might give it a shot at some point! i've got a pile of books to check out at SOME point, but i did finally read something last night (finished the christmas appeal — a novella!) i usually bring a book with me when i travel, so i'm thinking of either cleo + frank which i've been "reading" or starting a convo w friends or beautiful world where are you reread/annotation! (one of my many "annotation projects" that are in the works).
so so excited for our buddy read <333333333

Fun Fax: OLM Chapter 9
the “BECAUSE YOU’RE MY BROTHER” line was originally one much closer to one from a scene from GOTG vol 2, between Nebula and Gamora (“No you always had to win and I JUST WANTED A SISTER”), and that whole energy was kind of what inspired that scenario in the first place lol. the convo that was the majority of this chapter was planned prior, but i wasn’t sure what the catalyst for it was until i remembered that scene. GOTG is the only mcu thing i will admit to being inspired by lol
“You’re still in love with her, aren’t you?” is ANOTHER huge line this chapter was planned around, and by golly the entire thing surrounding that hurt so bad to write hdjsd
multiple events brought up about Kaz and Lee’s childhood are ideas i’ve had the mind to put on paper as oneshots before, and with any luck i might be able to at some point lol
the thing with Kazumi’s necklace was inspired by Tekken: The Motion Picture!! a very flawed, incredibly non-canon, but still rather interesting take on tk2 era Kazuya especially, and i actually enjoy it quite a lot lol. this tidbit is one of the only things taken from that film tho, and just like in TTMP, Kazuya forgot about that precious necklace in his rage and climb to power 😬
the conversation itself i struggled with greatly, because dialogue is one of the most intimidating areas of writing for me, right behind setting description. i also have ADHD like crazy so natural convo flow is hard for me to identify, hopefully it reads well enough lol. coming of off that:
part of me is horrified at how HUGE this conversation is, but mostly at how many subjects it covers dhskd. i didn’t want to make multiple giant convos about kazuya’s lack of emotional awareness and consideration for anyone but himself to happen, cause yikes, so in horror i put the majority of it all into one lol. do not worry tho this is not the last of Kaz being lectured and he and Lee getting into spats, that lasts for eternity rip
it’s mentioned in the chapter notes, but the brother’s dynamic in childhood and the particular brand of bitterness brought up this chapter i know to be a far cry from others i’ve read. i think that other stuff is great! but while i’m going on a HUGE limb with this whole fic, i wanted to retain as much as we know as canon as i can, and the only thing stated between Lee and Kaz is that they kinda hate each other. clearly not what i really have going on here, but i did want them to be at odds for the majority of their childhood. Lee avoiding Heihachi’s wrath and seeming a lot meeker in contrast seemed befitting of his more “social manipulator” feel and i wanted to do my own thing. regardless, i’m worried people won’t like that just because most other stuff i’ve seen of them in fic has them a lot more united lol. i could ramble abt them alone for ages, but i may do a genuine one shot collection of them to get my idea for their dynamic down a little more pat

Before I Leave You:  Asks/Drabble Archive
Notes: this has been a long long long time coming- this is literally everything that i’ve ever written for Bily outside of the canonical chaptered content. Some of these ideas are more developed than the others- and several times in the last year i’ve re-visited certian parts of bily and revised my initial thoughts on it- so i wouldn’t call all of this ‘cannon’
my favorite part of these are often your takes on what i’ve written and as a function of that sometimes- your ask part is longer than my response. some of these are longer and some of these are only a few sentences- the longer ones and more ‘quality’ asks start around January of this year! there is some triggering content and some that’s smutty, very little of it is tagged so proceed at your own risk! I will try to update it monthly with all the asks i answer!
i recommend that you read the entirety of Bily before you start the asks, because some of them contain spoilers for later chapters! if you want me to build on any of these asks further- please refer to them by month and number!

TPN S02E05 - Initial Thoughts (anime-only)
the reaction video: Google Drive
.
. Blue friend!
That i didn’t immediately catch that they were two different groups was kind of embarrassing asuhjd- they do be surveilling. They clearly already tailed them, but idk why they didn't just show up at their hideout --- I guess that would have been too undramatic.
It was kind of obvious towards the end and I felt like they could have made it a little more dynamic. I don’t need still shots. Make them attack and the mask comes off after he also speaks or... idk, so many still frames; masks hiding any emotional reaction (though I do like the whole taking off mask reveal in theory); and then also the kind of.... EH reaction I’m just... idk, I expected more somehow but I can’t exactly pinpoint what I wanted differently.
(This whole thing kind of goes back to my initial theory way back after s1 how Norman might try to infiltrate the system as a demon and then have to pretend to not be their ally in front of them and have to pull through with something, or some tragic shit like that. Or one of them trying to kill him, but he can’t say anything and then they realize when the cover comes off --- yeah VERY BAD, I’m glad that’s not what’s happening.)
I’m assuming the tidbit about farms being raided “recently” means he’s not been out for that long (at least not longer than a few months) so that’d explain why it wasn’t brought up with Isabella.
I also don’t think anything happened when he was removed from GF - but between Norman’s surprised expression when entering the gate room and him being here now, I don’t think he was shipped out for food (unless the high quality ones don’t get flower’ed right away and instead only at their “eater” --- since that’d at least give the support duration for someone to rescue him or him to do something about his situation).
So I’m very curious to hear about that whole story and I have a small bit of hope that the recap episode will be framed as Norman talking about s1 from his perspective and then also transitioning over into what happened while they were apart either in next episode or the episode after that. Don’t think we need a recap either way, but OH WELL, I hope there’ll be SOME framing to it at least.
edit: I thought episode 6 would be a recap, but it’s 5.5 and likely due to production issues so forget my rant here, I’m fine with the recap. I’m not fine with staff being overworked but oh well that’s a whole different dilemma.
They got so much to do and so few episodes AHHH
I wonder if there’s any meaning-parallel to be drawn between the old demon having a walking stick and Norman also having a walking stick??? idk it just felt odd to me-- Norman why are you old.
Though gotta also appreciate that anime really went opposite manga approach here, he didn't age AT ALL duisjsd. still babey. (edit: I didn’t know about his “inbetween” design as much and seeing them side by side it’s actually pretty accurate so yayyy. he babey anyway though)
what did that one guy out of Norman's group do when he leaned down to presumably Don I'm confusion
Norman, surrounding his friends: "lets ominously walk up to them"
.
. The demons' form
I didn’t post it I think but I actually made a “you are what you eat” joke in my ep3 post but discarded it because Sonju and Mujika look completely fine despite never having had any humans and I thought that’d throw a wrench in my thought.... and it still does so... that’s really interesting.
It also seems as if him saying “The world won’t change” is kind of..... like a prophecy sort of thing? It could just mean the massive class divide of course, but maybe if all the demons were well fed with humans, they’d achieve greater things? Since when you’re dying you’re kind of not in the condition to do anything, and if eating their body parts makes the demons adapt; is the implication that eating their brains makes demons smarter? if so that's a pretty literal parallel to the lower classes of society being robbed the chance to do something great by sheer circumstance. they're just actually dumber bc they don't get provided the materials to be smart
Honestly I’m a bit confused and not sure what it means, i can think of:
once a demon has ever eaten a human, they have to continue doing so
eating singular body parts makes them generate on you and you need “higher quality” humans to counter-act it. Would explain why Mujika and Sonju aren’t affected, since they don’t eat humans at all. Would also be an allegory for a healthy/balanced diet I GUESS but I don’t think it seems very plausible? it just seems kind of random.
They’re descendants from different demons and Sonju&Mujika simply don’t need to eat humans to maintain their form.
I also brought up that maybe it’s faith related / a placebo? But that seems even more forced.
I also don’t know if the implication is that they need ANY food, but then why are there hands on them?? So I do think it’s that it’s humans specifically that are either the problem or the solution. But since the bigger demons don’t seem to be affected AND the higher ups also not, I doubt it’s what causes the problems, unless it somehow is the whole balanced / “have to KEEP doing it” angle.
Also the demon scene in the ruins was so interesting, I really liked how it was so somber and kind of just... quiet. Emma, our queen, emphasizing once again.
I wonder if the demon realized it secretly or not... he seemed kinda overall nice and reasonable so I wouldn’t be super surprised if he noticed and just didn’t really care...
.
. The timeline
GF kids have been escaped for 1 year, they were a month at the bunker, so they’ve been out and about for another ~11 months.
Anna says nothing happened in the past 6 months; what else happened to them? just that they hid somewhere and had to flee again?
Is that also where they got their new clothes? i fail to see why they couldn’t just get them at the bunker, would make a bit more sense imo- but oh well.
farms keep being attacked recently and stealing children. it was def not our group, Norman's group potentially? They seem to be pretty badass, so that’s probably not unlikely.
Alternatively, it could be an overarching even bigger group that also rescued Norman, I think.
.
. Other things I liked
the scene of Emma being kind of lost was... pretty good, seeing our sunshine kind of doubt herself (understandably so after not making progress for an entire year) is pretty impactful. But i also feel like she’d try even harder to hide it in front of the others. but also why are you talking to a wall, are you mentally okay, probably not--- 
LOVED the nice subtle reveal to show how they mask their scent in the Lani and Thoma scene when they wanted to go with them
shot of the apple rolling and the screen turning over but head-down was cool!!
Emma and ray flinching when the demon's hand reaches out to Lani and Thoma
That convo between Lani and Thoma and how the older ones always give them the food and pretend to eat I'M EMOTIONAL
also their costumes are so colorful :sparkles: it’s such a big switch from their usual outfits-
.
. Other things I didn’t like
i'm not even a rayemma shipper and I still wanted Ray to do more than say a few lines and WALK AWAY?? ray what ya doin-
[Lani and Thoma] also literally why did you let them come. This season does really depend on someone fucking up and it’s kind of annoyingggggg :) Though in this case it isn’t that much their fault, they just stood around.
also why Norman only say “Emma” pls kill me. I was so happy that (very light manga spoiler) ...... Ray and Emma were both there for the reveal but fuck, the anime just straight up didn't care about Ray being there anyway :V
they better gife me a good trio hug to make up for this next (... uh... next-next TvT) episode
I do agree he’s back too soon but..... I kind of can’t hate them, with the whole 1 season to wrap it up chaos. Anime industry bad.
Well at least I’m excited and didn’t hate it. I’m somehow a little empty-headed but it was a good episode, and the surrounding anxiety probably just makes me a little iffy.... Hope the recap episode next week will have some merit and otherwise, see ya in two weeks.

(continuation of the "Achilles Come Down" ask/convo!!) Funny that you mention the line "since there is no me without you" because that was the Exact line I was thinking about when I was sending that ask! I was thinking about it in context of interpreting the song as Dabi to Tomura because of the revelation of how close and historied their relationship really is in the latest chapter. I don't know if there's an intention of a sort of love/romantic undertone within Tomura and Dabi's relationship, but it's something I've definitely picked up on within the narrative and really enjoyed, I think it adds a whole other layer to the story and their relationships.
- Anon Aristos
omfg anon look at us!!!!!! on the same wavelength!!!!!! incredible hehehehe <333 i can totally see that 100% and i was thinking the same thing!!! i can see it interpreted in the sense of reader to tomura too, though, because at this point she is so heavily reliant on him, so in love with him, so entrenched within him that she wouldn’t know who she is without him anymore, either. like there’s that whole bit where she’s thinking about what would’ve happened to her had she had to weather tomura’s storm without dabi, and i think in that sense you could even interpret that line as reader to dabi as well!! it’s really interesting how it works within the context of the three of them eh 👀👀👀 hehehe <3 very very complex relationship dynamic between the three!!!
and yes!!! that was the intention, you read it correctly!! <333 i’m glad you enjoyed that little tidbit hehehe and it totally does add an extra layer!!! ALSOOOO HELLO ARISTOS welcome to the anon club my friend 🥳🥳🥳

By Matt Galea  18/12/2019
It was the morning after our staff Christmas party that I got on the horn to Louis Tomlinson.
While the entire office was munching on bacon and egg rolls and chugging coffee to revive themselves, I was in the studio, eagerly awaiting a call from the UK to chat to my favourite member of One Direction (yep, you read that correctly).
You see, unlike most folks who occasionally whack on ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ during road trip karaoke or follow Harry Styles on Instagram to stay up to date with his dazzling wardrobe, I have been a true 1D stan since day dot: X Factor.
As soon as the band was pieced together, punters began choosing their faves, most of them picking Harry and don’t get me wrong, he’s an absolute lord (I’ve literally travelled to another country to see Harry live, I’ve had his album(s) on repeat since their release and I have tons of his merch), but I was instantly enchanted by the quiet, brooding, eldest member of the band and as their popularity skyrocketed, so, too, did my love for Louis.
I guess it’s a combination of his sleek style, his dreamy eyes plus the fact that he’s sassy (his public feuds have rightfully earned him the name ‘Sass Master of Doncaster’) and also has a ‘yuge heart and loves his fans unconditionally.
So naturally when the band went on hiatus, I followed Louis’ career like a hawk and, my fellow Louis stans, our time has finally come ‘coz 2020 is going to be THE year of Louis Tomlinson.
Let me repeat that louder for the people in the back:
2020 is going to be THE year of Louis Tomlinson.
The excitement in his voice is palpable as he discusses his debut studio album Walls which drops on January 31, 2020.
“I’m quite big on lyrics, it’s important for me to be honest and real and, at times, vulnerable,” he says of the album.
“My fans already know a lot about me but hopefully I can bring them an album that shows them another side.
”This ~other side~ includes personal yarns and tales from Louis’ life as he explains that he draws inspiration “from my life events.
“There were times in the past where I tried to write in a fictional sense, and there are a couple of songs on the album like that, but mostly I find it easier to write autobiographically.”
He adds, “Things happen to you and sometimes it might seem mundane but it makes you feel a certain way and it’s worth writing about.”
If you haven’t already listened to his latest singles, first of all what the heck is wrong with you? Second of all, go give them a listen and you’ll know exactly what he means by writing autobiographically.
He says his newest single ‘Don’t Let It Break Your Heart’ is “something that I’m definitely really proud of.”
“It’s a song trying to invoke hope, it’s about seeing the glass as half full as opposed to half empty and no matter what life throws at you, don’t let it break your heart.”
I then point out that he has a lot of positive, inspirational, anthemic bops under his belt and I ask if this is intentional.
“I think so,” he responds. “You always want to write lyrics that are relatable and inspiring, and I think songs like the song I did with Steve [Aoki] ‘Just Hold On’, it’s got the same kind of vibe of hope. I think it’s a pretty cool topic.”
He then talks me through my personal favourite, ‘We Made It.’
“It’s kind of about two things because we started out with just the title and what it meant to me in that moment was me picturing our first show of the tour and all the hard work it took me to get there and with the fans, it’s a collective, we made it here together, and that’s how the song started out,” he says.
“And then in the verse you have to add a bit more of a story so we’re talking about me going to visit my girlfriend at the university halls while I was on tour with the boys, so I was going off that dynamic.”
Directioners will be happy to know that Louis doesn’t shy away from name-dropping his bandmates and when I ask him to talk me through the best moments from the past decade, he literally lists three 1D-centric mems.
“When we first got put together as a band, that was a magical moment,” he says.
“We didn’t know each other that well and we went through that whole journey together, so that was pretty special.”
“When we played Madison Square Gardens in New York, that was a pretty memorable one. All of our families came down to watch.”
And finally, “We were lucky enough to play at the Olympics which was definitely one of the proudest moments I’ve ever had, definitely.”
Speaking of performing with 1D, Louis’ forthcoming trip to Australia will be his first without his bandmates and he is, as he put it, “proper excited to come back.”
“The gigs [in Oz] are always incredible and also for any Brit, it’s the ultimate dream to travel to Australia.”
But punters who have been lucky enough to see a One Direction show in their lifetime should expect a very, very different vibe from Tomlinson now that he’s flying solo (~obviously~).
“It’s not going to be a massive production with any gimmicks, it’s just going to be pretty straightforward. Just a good live show focusing on music and hopefully we’ll have a good night.”
Going from touring with his besties to being on the road by himself (and the backing band, of course) is bound to be a huge adjustment that Louis plans on easing into.
“I like creating normality [on the road], I just like to be sat with mates chatting, listening to music and then head out onto stage.”
He also gave me this lil tidbit about his travelling style, which should come as no surprise to the die-hards.
“I’m notoriously a really bad packer, I always leave with not enough clothes and not enough things that I need.”
But while he’s often short a pair of sneakers or a sweater or two, he always makes sure to pack the essentials.
“I like to take tea bags with me on tour. You can’t get a good cup of tea everywhere so it’s important to travel with your own.”
Which prompts me to ask about his thoughts on our tea Down Under.
“It’s good, yeah! It’s good,” he assures me.
So now that we’ve discussed what 2020 will look like for him (including starting his sophomore album in the second half of the year!), along with his highlights from the last decade, I’m eager to know what his plans are for the next decade.
Brace yourselves for the response…
“Fucking hell, I’m not that good at thinking far ahead,” he immediately quips. Legit, there’s nothing I love more than when celebs drop an F word in an interview. It shows that they’re not doing the super-polished, media-trained thing and they’re happy just being themselves.
Frankly, if Louis didn’t swear in the interview, I would’ve been convinced that he’d been abducted by aliens and replaced with a cyborg. But you’ll be happy to know that in our nine-minute convo, he swore a grand total of three times which is a great score, IMO.
But anyway, back to the question at hand.
“Hopefully still making music, still making albums. My intention is to get better as a songwriter with every album, so hopefully still making music and still touring.”
We wrap up our good old chinwag with a message to his fans, particularly the Aussies who he’ll finally be treating to his angel voice when he plays the Big Top in Sydney and the Palais Theatre in Melbourne in April.
“Massive thank you for your patience and your support. I’m so excited to release the album. I’m as excited, if not more, to come and see everyone on tour so thanks for your love and I’ll see you on tour.”
Final tickets for Louis Tomlinson’s debut Australian tour are available now via livenation.com.au.
SAT APR 25 – BIG TOP, SYDNEY
MON APR 27 – PALAIS THEATRE, MELBOURNE

the sloppiest most tired review
remnant from the ashes is.....amazing so far.....has some of the best experience of co-op i’ve had? tho i wouldn’t say i’ve had that much experience with modern types of co-op....destiny 2, borderlands 2. and some of the co-op design may be very YMMV--if you complete a story mission in someone else’s campaign, it doesn’t count as completed in your campaign. for my tastes, i like that, because it means i can play as much as i like in other campaigns and then go back to my own and go through the story at my leisure, making sure i collect all lore tidbits etc. but for others that may not be as fun.
but i’ve really loved the game thus far. the potent mix of fantasy, horror (verging on unsettling cosmic horror in select areas tbh) and modern post apocalypse is perfectly to my taste. wandering these wrecked cities overrun with beautiful yet frightening scarlet growth, the fascinating enemy design, grotesque and gorgeous in equal measures.
there are bits that remind me of mass effect andromeda. BEAR WITH ME HERE. certain bits of dialogue not quite adapting to diff convo choices, slightly clunky facial animations despite great characters designs, etc. one of the classes has a hood an NPC uses and no matter what hairstyle you have it gives you NPC’s hair. little earmarks that have popped up in games we later found had gotten a bit rushed makes me wonder if some aspects of development weren’t as well fleshed out as the devs might have hoped.
but so far I would really say that they spent the time where it mattered. exploration and gameplay? fantastic, dynamic, challenging but rewarding, manageable as solo but feels well designed for co-op. voice acting? SUPERB. i love every character i’ve met so far and i’m hungry for more information about them and the world.

AOS Rewatch, Part 9
2x03
JEMMA WE HAVE JEMMA
The cheery little opening with Jemma’s morning routine is a fun little tidbit but also does not seem to match her reality at all? Like yes it’s meant to fool the audience into thinking she left SHIELD and is super happy but she’s alone in this sequence, not putting on a good face for Hydra, so it’s actually quite disingenuous
Hunter in his tiny tanktop. lol I wonder how much the men volunteer to show off their arms and how much is Ann Foley doing God’s work
Jemma carries a gun in her purse and the Hydra security guards were okay with it? Also, our baby Jemma carries a gun in her purse now!
She has a bunch of fancy hats hanging in the hallway of her apartment -- I want to know more
Jemma: “it’s been a tad lonely”
Coulson says Jemma is “very likeable” (thx dad)
I want to know if Fitz knew already/this early where Jemma was -- did he suspect?
Fitz calls Jemma “Jemma”, not “Simmons,” in an official briefing
Jemma likes happy hour and karaoke
Hydra’s black lab coats (in contrast to SHIELD’s white ones) are a  bit on the nose
Jemma may be becoming a better liar, but she does the not-breaking-eye-contact thing that Ward called Skye out for as a tell
Fitz is really sensitive to people keeping things from him (a natural human reaction, I think, but made that much worse by many events from last season)
imaginary Jemma speaks for Fitz’s rational side
Omg. The Fitz scenes with Ward. I can’t. Iain’s acting. I die. We all die.
Does anyone actually believe Ward was trying to save Fitzsimmons?
Jemma: “Fitz is very hard to impress”
Just hearing “nice work Fitz” from Coulson probably did so much good for our boy
Skye claims SHIELD is different from Hydra because they wouldn’t take an asset out, but that’s exactly what they do with Donnie, on Coulson’s orders...
There’s no way Donnie would’ve fallen overboard from that show -- the angle (his height, the height of the side of the ship) is all wrong
May believes in Simmons -- “She can handle it. She’s good” (love the contrast to beginning of S1 when May/everyone was like damn these two kids didn’t even pass their field test)
Fitz: “I’m not a killer” -- REMEMBER THIS IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS MMKAY?
I love that Fitzsimmons both asked about each other and were not at all subtle with their emotions even as they tried to be slick
2x04
First of all, solid ep all around
I love watching Hunter be the smooth man undercover. His flirting, his kissing, his little wink to Skye!
I think we *all* love this undercover ep with Philinda
I always think of the BTS picture of Ming and Clark practicing the dance on the deck of a ship
Coulson isn’t wearing a tie and went for a few buttons undone -- bold!
Hunter first met Bobbi on a spring night on a pier
Fitz at May flirting: “That’s alarming”
“Maybe Talbot is still pissed because we kidnapped him that one time”
I also always think of the gag reel portion of Ming and Clark pretending to make out in the elevator
So much messy tuck going on in this episode
Hunter with the soccer ball on the plane -- I want scenes of him and Fitz playing and getting yelled at. I want BTS of Nick and Iain fooling around with it between scenes.
Mack: “All my exes are awesome”
Hunter, Mack, and Trip all know each other’s past a bit (Hunter knows Mack’s romantic history, the ex with quinoa) so it’s strange to me that they never mention Bobbi by name. Obviously, again it’s meant to keep the audience in the dark, but it rings false
“You hate being alone” imaginary Jemma says -- this is SO IMPORTANT to Fitz’s characterization, how we as an audience see and understand him, how we write him -- Fitz is often written (including by me) as a recluse, but that’s more something that shows up in him after the pod, and still seemingly against his will. He likes people, he wants to be with them. He just struggles.
Fitz calling the lab “our place” <3
“Where are you based?” “Currently? About five feet away from kicking your ass.” May. Just -- what a queen.
Coulson would tap May as the next director
Fitz looks so earnest and desperate as he wishes to join in on socializing
I love Coulson outing fake May. “May hates coffee.”
May frees herself and kicks multiple asses- I repeat, what a queen.
I love the team helping Fitz fill in the blanks as they try to fix the plane. They’re eager to help him, to include him -- or maybe they’re just aware of their dangerous situation
Coulson about the 2 Mays: “I can’t believe I’m the only one seeing this right now”
You can see in one shot that it’s Ming’s stunt double, but on the whole it’s impressively seamless
Hunter does one thing and then says “Is that it? Is the plane fixed now?”
I would watch a whole hour (or a whole series) of just Nick and Iain, in character or not.
God their adorable high-five.
Hunter reaching out to Fitz with the beer <3
I love the codependence in Fitzsimmons’s relationship but I also think it’s very healthy for them to have other friends so I love the scenes with Fitz and his bros
“Moving on” -- Fitz clearly doesn’t believe himself
I can’t help thinking of the outtake of Nick salaciously licking his overflowing bottle
May has a cabin in the Australian Outback and Coulson likes kangaroos. Noted.
2x05
Another solid ep all around.
Hunter’s look of delight when Skye challenges Coulson
Poll: Do you say oh-belisk or ah-belisk? (for obelisk)
Kyle Maclachlan’s delivery of “I’m a man trying to put my family back together” is excellent
I love Fitz acknowledging that Mack is quite a man -- whether it’s him projecting what he imagines Jemma would think or thinking it for himself, it’s a nice intricacy
The whole “I still miss her” convo <3
“Shut up Ward” -- why don’t more people say that?
So the writing, essentially, is a way for the obelisk/terrigenesis/Inhuman gene/whatever to propagate? When it doesn’t succeed in a host (like people who aren’t Inhuman, like Coulson and Garrett), it needs to find a viable host and uses the writing to guide candidates there?
I’m curious what city Jemma’s supposed to be in
QUEEEEEENNNN BOBBBBIIIIIIIIIII
Did Jemma move the secret communique or did Bobbi? Either way, v slick
The first time I watched this, I definitely didn’t think Bobbi would be SHIELD. One of my favorite surprise reveals
I wonder if Jemma’s new, darker wardrobe was meant to be a reflection of her emotional state or of her trying to go under the radar at Hydra
lol that they sent at least four men in full TAC gear and helmets to grab Jemma
BOBBI AND HER FREAKING BATONS AND HAIRFLIP
And Jemma’s reaction to the aforementioned is perfect
Hunter: “So is this a group hug type situation?”
I feel like Hunter’s drinking is emphasized too heavily with no follow-through
I love Jemma rambling
OH GOD MY CHILDREN REUNITING
HE CALLS HER SIMMONS AND SHE LOOKS DEVASTATED BY THAT AND HIS SLIGHTLY TERRIFIED RESPONSE AND HER CLENCHED HANDS I DIE
I love the Bobbi/Mack friendship
I love Hunter but I really really love him being flummoxed by Bobbi
Trip knew Bobbi but not that she was Hunter’s ex?
I’m still amazed they got Kyle Maclachlan for this. He’s such a powerhouse.
2x06
I enjoy Scarlotti (the mohawked fake-SHIELD guy) -- he always reminded me of an evil Hunter
lol at the Grumpy Cat mug. There’s gotta be a backstory to why they included that. That was like a full ten or twenty second bit. Why?
The backdrop for the Belgian ambassador or whatever is a quaint little town -- he’d probably be in a city
Jemma’s trying so hard to act normal. Fitz’s adoration for her is so blatant. It’s so hard to know what to feel for these two, to know what they need. To be fair, if someone looked at me that openly worshiping, I’d probably be terrified, especially if I felt like they also hated me for leaving them
Ugh their dynamics are so complex. He accepts Mack helping him/finishing his sentences, but he gets upset when Jemma does it, even though they used to for years. Jemma, meanwhile, is overcompensating, walking on eggshells, not sure where they stand.
Hunter is so thrown off by Bobbi I LOVE IT
The Huntingbird “Don’t die out there” ritual <3
Hunter: “excuse me for doing my job thoroughly. and with style.”
Huntingbird is such a power couple
Poor May having to babysit Huntingbird; Mack has to babysit Fitzsimmons
Fitz says SO MUCH to her it’s amazing. “You gave up on me”, “You think i’m useless”, “I needed you”, “For all I know you could’ve--” -- I wish they’d had a chance/been forced to really talk
I still don’t know the truth of the Ward brothers/the well, but maybe that’s the point
Jemma brings 2 mugs, trying to reach out to Fitz, willing to accept that it’ll take work. And the way he looks when he sees her, the way he says hi -- there’s still hope
“I thought we were rebuilding trust, Coulson” -- lol you’re delusional, Ward
Hunter stalling at the safe house and May and Bobbi crashing in is so amazing
Bobbi and Hunter with the simultaneous leg sweep
Scarlotti’s knife rope seems really inefficient
Adrianne Palicki was born to be a superhero -- with her casual baton twirls and her suit, she’s so set
Jemma is trying so hard, in her own way -- giving Fitz the space she thinks he needs, going instead to Mack to thank him for being Fitz’s friend
The tears in Jemma’s eyes when she says “I know, why do you think I left?”
I’m so glad Mack and Jemma eventually get a resolution to this tension and have that lovely conversation in 3B, but UGH my heart.
Christian Ward says “At first I was ashamed” and I fully expect him to continue “...I WAS PETRIFIED”
“Tell Skye this doesn’t change anything” you’re such a gross man Ward

I hate that Q died in the middle of surgery, in that hospital, with all the similar trappings to Laurel’s death. I especially hate the convolution of the scene where Oliver’s getting arrested and Sara and Siren are walking up and that’s when we find out Quentin is dead. And then it all being about Oliver’s arrest. If I’d had it my way:
If they felt it necessary to have a Quentin/ Rene scene (which actually did fit thematically and was a nice throwback to their friendship from last season), it could have been just as effective for Quentin to appeal directly to Rene, or to talk about their love for their daughters some moment at the police station, rather than the deathbed conversation- seriously, it would have been the perfect moment for Quentin to explain why he cares so much about Siren (it’s pretty obvious but since some fans think it’s so crazy, why not just spoon-feed it to them), and to leave a lasting impression on Rene for next season that doesn’t amount to ‘don’t call me Hoss at my funeral’
Oliver and Quentin already had a one-on-one earlier in the episode; I’m sorry, but I think their interactions would have altogether been more impactful if it was all more dynamically packed into that one scene- Quentin biting out the part about “would you have done it for our Laurel, or maybe you wouldn’t and that’s why my daughter’s dead” and Oliver addressing his feelings of guilt with Quentin, but telling him that Quentin was like a father to him too, and he couldn’t lose him after they’d already lost Laurel; and then Quentin saying it would be worth it to him, that he still blamed himself for Darhk, and Oliver knows what that’s like; so, since Oliver is obviously going to prison for everyone else (Quentin’s no doofus- let him pick up on Oliver’s apology tour), please help Quentin save Siren- they prearrange and Quentin tells Oliver to track him through the pacemaker explicitly, so Oliver and the team can get there sooner without confusion
as unfair as it is to Sara, they weren’t going to let her have a goodbye scene face to face with Quentin; but they had Caity on set, so they should have done a phone call, with Quentin and Sara making dinner plans before it all went to shit so he can meet her new girlfriend (and he can tell her about Siren too); they’ll both be late, probably, but they’ll see each other “soon”; some final tidbit of private interaction between them, which directly parallels Rene and Zoe
show us the damn Siren & Quentin hug that was in the promo, and as much as I loved Siren not backing down when Dragon had a gun on her, instead let us just have a private convo between Siren and Quentin, like was probably filmed, where Siren tells him that she’s made her peace with her situation- don’t sacrifice the city for her
then, before Dragon can shoot anyone (he’s a monologue-er), Team Arrow busts in; Dragon decides to shoot at Siren while she’s distracted- Quentin sees and jumps in front for her; it’s a shot to the head
this hideout is rigged to explode like the other, and Dinah has to fight herself not to just let Siren stay, but she convinces Siren it’s more important to get out alive than it is to bring Quentin’s body with them; she breaks Siren’s collar and they rage past guards together, leaving Quentin behind
Siren is acting off of pure rage and adrenaline when she catches up to Diaz and tries to kill him- it’s not just that Quentin might die, he already is dead and lost to her
Siren ends up going to Ava’s apartment after figuring out what time Quentin was supposed to have dinner; she has to tell Sara that Quentin’s dead; I don’t know if they pay the money to get Jes on screen for a few-seconds hug, or if instead we get a very awkward hug between the sisters; if need be we get the “are you like my Laurel” dialogue, or we get something like “are you worth it” instead (yes I know that’s really harsh- I’m not saying Siren’s not worth it, but Sara would get a free rage-pass after finding out her dad died)
we see the TA members picking up the kids from the safehouse, Dig clutching Jr. a bit tighter and Rene hugging Zoe as tightly as he can, while Dinah and Curtis watch and grieve Quentin’s loss their own way; we get an actual Curtis scene (the only one Oliver didn’t apologize too ffs) and he tells Dinah he’s proud of her for today or something like that- it takes us back to when he promised her they would get justice for Vince
Oliver takes Felicity and William home; he tells William how much he loves him, how he needs him to be strong; but also, he doesn’t completely play out of his father’s book- he doesn’t place the burden of thousands on his son; Felicity realizes what he’s been doing, and she’s angry and she tells him as much- tries to think of any other way out, which he assures her there’s not; not if they want to keep everyone else safe; and she’s angry and hurt, especially because he didn’t consult her, but she realizes the sacrifice he’s making and puts on her game face
FBI lady comes to the door, they arrest Oliver, cue ending montage as everyone finds out (Sara’s too busy crying to pay attention to the news on the TV, until she does and says “Ollie” because her night just keeps getting worse- idk if Siren is still inside the apartment or leaning against a wall outside trying to catch her breath, trying not to wail and scream in grief)- Team Arrow is completely taken by surprise, Dragon’s recuperating, and then the whole jail part
