#what entire episodes to include

[doctorwhoisadhd]

one thing about me is when i was 12 or 13 i DID in fact go on itunes to buy dr who music and what i legitimately did was pick out several individual tracks SPECIFICALLY because they were leitmotifs. so i have literally just always been this way

#like literally went through and basically picked out one for each companion and then a couple others #including this is gallifrey and together or not at all lmfao #the former of which is probably the most useful to have in my arsenal of Leitmotifs I Know Like The Back Of My Hand because it has a LOT of #different parts that could be pulled in individually as a reference which can make it way less obvious #(which they did when we first get the master & 10 together but ofc i caught it right away last time i watched that episode because of how #well i know the whole entire track) #there were a couple other things i bought that werent leitmotifs i just liked them #and i question past me's choice to NOT buy the bad wolf theme (????? whats wrong with you) but yeah i absolutely did do this #i was SUCH a Normal Middle Schooler lmaooooooo #ari opinion hour #this is actually so fuckin funny

& who asked you two to stand so close???

#pressure test is always gonna be one of my fav thiam episodes cuz like #theo is being so protective but trying to hide it behind pissing liam off at the same time hes trying to be a realist to his idealist #and convince him to take care of himself first before other people 😭 #me when i swear not to save my enemy but decide id rather face death for him multiple times than see him hurt by anyone including himself #IDIOT #theo positioning himself between monroe and liam when they leave the station . that marking the beginning of the 6b streak + #where they keep getting paired off together and learn how to work as a team #they were def attached at the hip the entire time the pack was in hiding the same way scalia and morey were #like… leaving the station. at the zoo. driving back to town together. theo following him to the school. waiting under that night to tell + #scott about what they found. and then they were both grumpy about getting split up during genotype like they havent been living in each + #others pockets for who knows how long atp …. they are so . #jeff davis you will pay for not showing me all of the bonding that happened during this time. I HATE YOU! #thiam #theo raeken #liam dunbar #theo raeken x liam dunbar #theo raeken/liam dunbar #theo x liam #theo/liam #6.15 pressure test #6.17 werewolves of london #teen wolf

“You know Mozzie is an orphan. An orphan's gonna wonder about his parents, so he imagined they were spies. Occasionally, something happens that triggers Mozzie to revisit his childhood. When Ellen told me my Dad was corrupted, I ran from the truth and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Mozzie tells himself these stories to maintain his faith in the world. His faith, however limited, is all that separates a man with a conscience from a man without one.”

#white collar #mozzie #neal caffrey #one of my favorite episodes #i appreciate this show for taking the subject more seriously than most while adding an interesting twist to it #i always think deep down this is what lies beneath the surface of many conspiracy theorists #granted not all of them are Mozzie and it's easy to ridicule them but when you really think about it #how exhausting must it be to live while feeling constantly disappointed or threatened by forces beyond your control? #Mozzie is terrified of his own childhood truth so he ends up rejecting the entire concept of universal truths #I love that Neal knows Mozzie enough to understand that indulging in his theories and ideas (unless they pose a threat to his health) #is sometimes the best thing he can do for him #Neal knows Mozzie is a good person and his friend couldn't bear living in a world that shuts off too many possibilities #Not even the most absurd ones #Including the one in which their parents at least somehow loved him #The fact that Willie adopted a son makes the scene all the more touching tbh

A young Christopher Lee guest stars as dastardly Larry Spence - a rising star in the world of journalism, turned blackmailer and then murderer - in The Vise: The Final Column (1.16, ABC, 1955); the episode wasn't seen in the UK until 1963, as part of ITV drama anthology Tension

#fave spotting #christopher lee #the vise #tension #1955 #the final column #for more information on the complicated origins of The Vise (a US production entirely made in the UK) see my prev fave spotting post for #Jacqueline Hill's appearance on the series #Lee was hardly a newcomer when he made this ep; he'd been acting professionally since being demobbed a couple of years after ww2 and #was something of a stock player in british cinemas‚ usually in minor bit parts as caddish gentlemen or authority figures and military men #one of his first really significant roles would be later in '55 as a submarine commander in The Cockleshell Heroes #he was also making semi regular appearances on tv in small guest spots‚ albeit sometimes uncredited (as in ITV's The Adventures of the #Scarlet Pimpernel also around this time). a jobbing actor‚ basically‚ and not yet the cinematic icon he would begin (that journey starting #at the end of the decade and the beginning of his association with Hammer studios and horror immortality). he's very good here tho #host and narrator Ron Randell even describes him near the start of the ep as (something like) 'young‚ handsome‚ but sinister' which #may as well have been printed on business cards for the kind of work Lee would find himself doing for the next decade or so #yes he's a real rotter‚ a strangler of ladies and a blackmailer of tycoons‚ and in true Vise fashion he gets his just desserts and the mora #status quo is maintained (this is a very moral series and takes pains to inform us via Randell exactly what kind of punishment the villains #received after the events depicted) #Lee made two more Vise episodes but as Network (rip beloved) seemingly took a random approach to which episodes to include in their #first volume of the series (and obviously as it turned out only volume) i have no idea if either of those are on the set #one can hope! and i do bc it's lovely seeing him so young but with such a meaty role

in the name of love

#tdp #wanted to include more ezran but had limited pic space #two pillars #it was just red #tdp callum #arc 1 #arc 2 #s4 #get him a blanket #4x04 #like the fact this convo is happening #(and it mirrors rayla waking callum up with her crying a season earlier) #in the same episode callum is decidedly marked as a target precisely bc of his magehood #that rayla inspired & that she's what he did dark magic for in the first place like #come on. COME ON #cube hostage exchange theory #adjacently #cause this is building towards Something #but again: she won't entirely destroy him bc she never has / pulled him away from the mirror #we love foreshadowing #tag ramble #LIKE THIS. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL BEEN BUILDING TO FAM #the fact that this is the point of the foilage since 1x02 is making me lose my mind #it's everything i could have ever wanted :')

I just wanna know what camp atmosphere was like after the events of Period of Adjustment

#mash #like the first few days to a week after that episode had to have been. Something #like there were lots of witnesses at Rosie's for one thing even if we didn't see what happened at Rosie's #but even the more private stuff after. word gets around fast #I feel like most people are extra nice to Klinger for about a week #some overbearingly nice but the thought and intent is appreciated #meanwhile with BJ there's a MUCH different attitude kjfhkjdfh #I think the most sympathy he gets is from some in the main cast #I think Potter and Klinger would be the most sympathetic #Margaret does feel for him but she's also miffed and is curt with him for a few days until she cools down #I think Charles is pissed but won't admit it and just gives him the cold shoulder for a few days #and then just acts like nothing happened #Mulcahy is also pissed and says so but keeps it short and then gives him the silent treatment till he calms down #he calms down quicker than Margaret and Charles and probably helps BJ with his lingering feelings on the whole thing #not including Hawkeye's feelings here cause he was THERE and also it would take me a week #in terms of the rest of camp I feel like it's incredibly tense because like #they all know mostly through word of mouth #like surely some people in camp heard the commotion and their entire context was #yelling glass breaking and next day Hawkeye's got a black eye and BJ cant even look at him #and then again. word spreads quickly #and Hawkeye is very much beloved! #most people probably avoid him till the atmosphere calms down #my kingdom for a follow up episode just to see like #one scene is Klinger getting help from all sides and everyone being just ridiculously nice #cut to BJ walking into the mess tent being met with dead silence and glares while he gets his food. he leaves and eats in the Swamp #I think about this a lot #will I write a full fic. no <3

yellowjackets rant time :)

people whining that natalie’s death was “shitty writing” makes me want to bang my head against the wall. like are you seriously shocked that the show about tragedy and murder has tragedy and murder in it. are you seriously shocked that the show about fucked up people has fucked up people in it.

#same with people who hate van and lottie and tai and shauna and misty and ben and whoever the fuck else for being 'bad people' #'i can't root for these characters!!!!' like lmao way to miss the point of the entire show janet #they're all traumatized people (many of whom experienced that trauma as CHILDREN) and have done awful things and will do awful things again #INCLUDING nat like im sorry you believed that she was the moral compass when the show never explicitly told you that #she's just as fucked up as the rest of them. and thats what makes her interesting #that's also what makes her death compelling and. sorry. WELL WRITTEN #it's tragic and cruel and preventable. and that is the point. #sometimes characters die in media. lmao. and sometimes it isn't well executed #but this was. and it has been set up for a long time if you go back and watch the prior episodes #i understand disliking the finale or the season or whatever. not mad about that. #what i am mad about is equating a personal opinion as an irrefutable fact and proof that the writing is shitty #and sending literal death threats to the writers and creators of a show that have put a lot of work into it #like at the end of the day it's a tv show for entertainment. and you can and should be able to love a character #while ALSO understanding when said character's death is emotionally necessary in a story. #i love nat. but i also understand that her death fits the story. that doesn't make it bad writing by any means #okay im done now #sameera.txt #yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers

being a jackgirl is terrible enough but being a jackgirl who understands dean is a burden I would wish on everyone so we’d stop having the same seven-year-old discourse about whether or not dean is really jack’s dad

#say it with me kids: #THIS IS THE CYCLE OF ABUSE AND BEING A BETTER PERSON SHOW. THERES GONNA BE SOME PERPETUATION AND BEING WORSE. #also. cannot stress this enough that Dean canonically never forgave himself for it. for TWO STRAIGHT YEARS he could not let go of it #this man once said that he was good with who he was INCLUDING every single murder and fuckup he ever committed #but the one thing he absolutely couldn’t forgive himself for was how he treated jack #also also. not only did Jack forgive him but their entire ‘spat’ lasted two weeks lmao #get over yourseeellllveesssss dean is jacks dad #cal.txt #spn #jack kline #dean winchester #‘oh but he tried to kill Jack in this episode’ okay? as if he didn’t try to kill sam or cas before? as if THEY haven’t tried to kill him? #as if they ALL haven’t tried to kill each other at some point?? #what show are y’all watching that you think this is suddenly exclusive to dean #tsk tsk tsk

There really is an entire arc of flashback after the "Did Xie Lian stab his shitty cousin's stolen mortal body fatally or not" cliffhanger xD It's very important stuff being flashbacked to, and a lot of it so far is regarding Qi Rong and thus is relevant information for the present-day confrontation, but it's still so funny to me! Don't worry about whether Xie Lian is going to kill a random mortal in front of their kid because Qi Rong pushed him past his breaking point, it's now time to talk about what happened Eight Hundred Years Ago!

#Me Talking #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #TGCF liveblogging #To be clear none of this is a complaint! I am very excited to learn more about what happened Eight Hundred Years Ago! #But it's not what I expected and it's very funny to me #I wonder if the show gets more seasons if season three will be entirely Sudden Flashback or if it'll also do the next present-day arc #The first season was pretty exactly the first book but the second season ended when the arc finished (if I remember right) #and didn't go into the flashback arc bits that were included in the second book #(the show did briefly show a lot of Baby Honghong-er Moments but not whole episodes dedicated to this period) #and I only just started the third book but the last chapter listed is labeled 'Part One' so it might end in the middle of some events #so I wonder how the show will break things up in the future if it gets enough seasons to tell the whole story

[my-thoughts-and-junk]

'Gideon's mom is carla mccorkle' was always a dumb theory because there's no way the gravity falls writers would put that much focus on a female character

#random thoughts #gravity falls #literally every narrative surrounding a female character revolved around romance except mabel who was based on hirsch's sister #and pacifica who was explicitly designed to be mabel's antithesis #and even then there's hints that pacifica and dipper will end up together #and mabel's primary characterization - literally the thing they introduce her with - is her boy crazy phase #'we tried to do a wendy episode but it never worked out' yeah it's because she's literally just cool that's her entire characterization #there is ONE explicitly female demon in bill's crew and she's pink and voluptuous when her inspo was bill's BLUE flames #giffany was programmed to pursue love at all costs and was murdered for it (only retconned in the books) #literally how many of the monsters of the week were female huh? HUH? FUCKING THREE #TWO OF WHICH WERE MOTIVATED BY ROMANCE #darlene is literally a black widow #literally the only reoccuring background character whose name we know and is a woman is lazy susan #candy and grenda were NERFED in the finale to make mabel's arc about abandonment make more sense #WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABUELITA'S NAME BUT WE KNOW SOOS'S COUSIN'S NAME??? FUCKING REGGIE GETS A NAME BUT NOT ABUELITA #how does wendy feel about her mom? does she have any hobbies? what are her plans for after high school? does she HAVE any plans? #why does no one have any sisters besides dipper. i am including mermando in this. why does literally everyone have brothers and no sisters #fuck i forgot about the unicorn. that makes four i guess? and shandra jiminez

everybody is getting mad at a-train for betraying team kill homelander like leave him alone you don't understand him he has layers

#PERHAPS i am just predisposed to make excuses for him because he's one of my favourite characters on the show but i have a little theory #about a-train this series #so people are just assuming that he snitched to homelander because we've seen him be an opportunist in the past but that's not the vibe i #was getting from what was set up earlier in the episode and also he has been shown to have principals in the past like #risking himself to expose stormfront wasnt entirely self-serving like people make out #AND we know that canonically homelander can hear everything that goes on in that building including the plots to kill him and the blackmail #material deep and a-train have on eachother #we haven't actually seen a-train tell homelander that alex tried to recruit him. i think he agreed and this is like a #divide and conquer strategy from homelander because the team already mistrusts a-train #given his development since season one i really think they're setting a-train up to finally be disillusioned with the whole superhero thing #like #idk how to articulate it #but it makes sense for his overarching character story for him to finally let go of chasing the celebrity lifestyle which has done nothing #but cause his misery so far #and i think that's what they're setting up for him i think this 'a-train betrayed the group' is a red herring #the boys #the boys spoilers #im keeping my rant in the tags because i feel like im overwhelming my followers with the boys content but it put worms in my brain sorry #principles* #EDIT: ok so they confirmed he snitched i look like a clown BUT that's still my friend a train???

Shut up about Attack on Titan shut up about Attack on Titan

#my entire for you page on Twitter is that bullshit #and people sucking its dick #what happened to a week ago when everyone was begging for it to die #I guess that since it actually aired its final episode people suddenly like it again? #Do they not have brains? #We all remember why we stopped caring about it like six years ago right? #And now I’m forced to see people acting like it’s okay #because I happen to like a lot of anime posts on twitter #they assume that I like all anime #including ones that suck shit and are made by absolute cockholes #🖕

I love coming onto Tumblr on days that something is ~happening~ in a legacy/otherwise significant fandom and just trying to put together pieces by going through liveblog tags

#this is me admitting that i don't care to stay away from dw spoilers #like... the entire reason I'm in 90% of the fandoms I'm in is BECAUSE i looked for spoilers first #including dw #I'm just shrieking in mild delight and intense confusion at what I've picked up about this episode so far

[orcelito]

oh caving stresses me O U T

like not to be a Vast truther or w/e (except i totally am) but lksjdlfksjdf the cave diving episode of TMA freaked me out soooo bad & ya if i see a video of someone cave diving im like what are you DOINGGGGGG that's the EARTHHHHHHHH what if it BREAKSSSSSSSSSS it's literally so anxiety-inducing. im like not even claustrophobic, i love my little hidey-holes, but i can NOT deal with cave diving, thank u very much

#speculation nation #i have only experienced a few caves and they were big caves. those are okay #the well traveled and very secure caves. miss me with those tiny little passages and GOD FORBID u dive underwater #but back to the TMA reference lskjdfldkjf the Vast is my fav entity and i Love its episodes #im just absolutely enthralled with the idea of things so much bigger than me. up to and including Giant Fucking Monsters #gargantuan creatures that are larger than a mountain. maybe even larger. #there's just something so...................<3 wonderful about that. #yes they could kill me in an instant. i still love them. #also me being scared of heights but still loving being up high. it's hitting the ground im scared of not falling #ft Gravity Rush being my fav game bc the entire concept is falling from many high places but never fearing hitting the ground #if i play a video game and i have the option to climb up high then by GOD im gonna do it. i GOTTA see the view from the top #and even better in games like botw or gravity rush where i can JUMP... and then end up just fine <3 #tho in dragon age inquisition there's that one cliff in the uhhh that one stormy place idr what it's called #i remember i used to love just fucking jumping off that cliff. yes it has fall damage no i didnt care #it was never enough fall damage to actually kill me. so of COURSE i jumped from up high #and of course jumping from the tip top of skyhold out to the ground outside. of Course. #what this all means to say is. yes i love the Vast. and yes the Buried is my most feared of the fears. just cant handle it #im ready to become an avatar of the Vast come ON just come and take me already!!!!! i wanna do cool lightning shit lol

"all the people who like Charlotte didn't watch the show and are misogynists"

Can't believe I just had to see this take with my own eyes but that's what I get for following the main tags instead of my trusted mutuals

#Cruddy rambles #Listen. Yeah. She got hit with the villain beam in the latter half. But honestly? Valid of her #They treated her like shit the entire first half of the season #Lewis included. She was constantly pushed aside and treated like crap by Cleo who *BROKE UP* WITH THE GUY CHARLOTTE HAD A CRUSH ON #Lewis constantly ditched her. The girls hurt not only her BUT TARGETED HER MOM DURING A WORK EVENT #Yeah honestly she went too far in the latter half of the season but she doesn't deserve the hate she gets #And she didn't deserve what the writers did to her #Remember how she *specifically* asks Cleo if she can spend time with Lewis and Cleo goes 'yeah no problem' #And even after getting her powers and probably realizing what they did to her and her mom she STILL tries to be friends with them #And is treated like absolute shit #'she's so reckless she's using her powers in public' HELLO?????? YOU DO THAT EVERY EPISODE??? #You guys almost got Lewis arrested because he had the gall to- let me check- accidentally get the job CLEO GOT HERSELF FIRED FROM #But no *Charlotte* is the one who deserves all the hate in season 2 right /s #Yeah sorry I hated her when I was like 7 because I was SEVEN. And then I got older and realized how horribly she was treated #And how horribly the writers took her character and shoved it into the role of a villain #Her character genuinely did not deserve what she got handed but honestly. She deserved a little vengeance. Seriously. #After what they did to her mom... I would be fucking pissed too. After how Cleo was nasty to her after BEING GIVEN A GIFT. I would've never #Forgiven her. Charlotte was so much nicer than she could've been and she was STILL pushed out of the group #She even took Cleo aside to apologize and ask for permission to go after Lewis WHICH CLEO GAVE. And then STILL treated Charlotte like garbo #Sorry I just. Wow. It's what I get for following the main tags I guess but. Wow. #Like yeah sure hate on Charlotte for doing what the girls have been doing for an entire season and a half but openly #I guarantee if the girls did the exact same things Charlotte did it would've been framed in a Girl Power light and you would've ate it up #Locking Charlotte in a flooded room? Haha Cleo and Emma giggle to themselves while they walk away and music plays. Hashtag girl power. #All the times Cleo uses her powers to dunk on Kim I don't hear anyone talking about. #It's only ever when Charlotte does it. Because the show frames it as being bad. #Use your heads guys. Come on. #Yeah she messed up a few times. But so do the girls??? And they're constantly forgiven. Charlotte is never given that opportunity. And why? #Because they needed a villain. that's why. That's the only reason why. #She's held to this standard that nobody else in the show is. #You want a good villain to hate? Hate Dr. Denman. Hate Sophie even. But Charlotte? She didn't deserve any of that.

no but actually the Kneel scene in spyfall is actually perfect, controversial of an opinion as that is. 

#dw shit #it is. Terrible. but so on brand #and very funny #i'm never sure if i love her death glare while kneeling or the feral toothy smile she makes #when ada shoots him more #other highlights include him not being entirely sure what to do with her once he gets her #idiot. #and the beard growth that proves his sat in his wardrobe long enough to grow facial hair to complete the Look #he picked out #i am fighting the urge to watch these episodes for the 8 millionth time
