hello! is it possible if i req a fic based on drunk yeonjun? we all know hes a light weight so maybe the fic can be based around him calling out for his (m!) s/o? then taehyun just gives up and calls him for help😭😭😭 i hope this was understandable?? tysm! 🫶🏻
pairing: yeonjun x male!reader (no pronouns used) genre: fluff word count: 693
includes: probably innaccurate depiction of drunk yeonjun, this gave me an excuse to rewatch the ep so thank you lol, i strive to be as androgynous as this man
a/n: thank you for requesting !! i hope you like it :))
requests open !! read my rules first
you sigh as your phone vibrates violently against your table once again, stealing your attention away from the essay open on your computer screen. you glance back at the block of words before finally giving in and reaching over to grab it. yeonjun’s contact photo lights up the screen making you furrow your eyebrows as you slide to answer the call before pressing it against your ear. “hello?”
“y/n,” taehyun sighs from over the other line.
“is everything okay?”
“yeah, yeah, we’re fine,” he says. in the background you can hear the muffled noises of some sort of scuffle. “i’m really sorry to ask but yeonjun’s a little drunk and he’s been asking for you.”
you chuckle, closing your computer as you stand up from your desk. “i thought you were filming something today.”
“we did. we were on suchwita with yoongi-hyung and he got a little drunk…”
“a little?”
“...okay, maybe more than a little. anyway, i’m calling because he keeps asking for you. i’ve been trying to get him to lay down but he keeps asking for you.”
“alright, i’ll be right there,” you chuckle.
“thanks y/n.”
“anytime.” you shake your head with a small smile as you shove your computer into your backpack. you quickly swing it over your shoulder as you rush out of your stuffy apartment, running down the empty seoul streets to the txt dorm.
the door swings open almost as soon as you knock on the wood. a very tired taehyun stands on the other side, quickly joined by yeonjun stumbling into view. “you don’t know how good it is to see you,” he chuckles as he moves to let you in.
“that bad, huh?” you chuckle.
“y/n!” yeonjun all but pushes taehyun out of the way as he rushes to tackle you into a tight hug. you stumble backwards as he relaxes all of his body weight against you.
“hi jagi,” you pat his back gently. yeonjun buries his face into the crook of your neck, keeping you firmly trapped in his arms. you turn to look over his shoulder as best as you can to look at taehyun. “i’ll take care of him. you can go get some rest.”
“thank you again,” taehyun smiles before he turns, disappearing into his room.
you sigh as you return your attention to yeonjun. you lean over to press a kiss against his cheek before coaxing his head away from you. “come on jagi,” you whisper. “let’s go sit down.”
yeonjun hums in acknowledgement, though he doesn’t make any attempt to move. you sigh as you wrap your arms around him, slowly guiding him towards the couch. he all but collapses onto the cushions, blinking up at you with half-lidded eyes as you grab a cup of water and some tylenol from the cabinet. “y/n,” he calls, reaching over to grab your hand. he rolls onto his side before he pulls you down to lay on the couch beside you.
“jagi,” you whisper. you bring a hand up to brush a stray strand of hair out of his eyes. “you should eat something. or at least try.”
“don’t wanna eat,” yeonjun’s words slur together as he leans forwards once again, pushing you down onto the couch. you grunt as he shifts to lay fully on top of you; effectively pinning you down against the couch. “just cuddle with me.”
your protests fall on deaf ears as his eyes flutter closed. yeonjun hides his face into your neck once again. you finally relent with a small sigh, bringing a hand up to rub against his back. “fine,” you whisper, hiding a small smile of your own. “we can cuddle. but you have to take the advil when you wake up.”
“okay,” he mumbles.
your hand slips underneath his shirt, causing goosebumps to arise on his skin. your other hand moves to brush through his hair. you twist the soft locks between your fingers until yeonjun’s breath evens out. he falls into a peaceful sleep on your chest as you lean down to press a kiss against his forehead before joining him in falling into bliss.

Well. This is the weirdest one of these I’ve ever made.
I’m not going to rehash the wank from the Watcher TV announcement. You all know what happened. I am standing by my assertion that this streaming platform is the only way they’re going to stay afloat because YouTube is just not the place for them or anyone else making videos that aren’t just of one person in their house. (nothing against those folks, it’s just a completely different business model)
Anyway.
First up, here’s how Mystery Files season 2 did. It did well, with each ep hitting a million fairly quickly, but it didn’t do as well as season 1. Not significantly worse, just not as high. (two weeks after season 1 ended, the average per episode was 1.854 and for s2 it’s at 1.194million) Of course, the two weeks since season 2 ended have been fucking insane so it’s impossible to say how much of that is a factor.
I will say that views between last week and this week are down overall, but that’s expected. If someone has paid for the streamer and you want to rewatch Ghost Files or whatever, you’re going to watch it ad-free on the app you pay for and not YouTube for the most part. Also it’s very possible people are just not rewatching stuff right now for their own personal reasons, which is fine. I also just don’t think it’s something to worry about.
For better or worse, the Goodbye YouTube video is the best opening weekend Watcher has ever had (and will have?) on YouTube.
Watcher lost around 100k subscribers over The Announcement but, again, if people are paying them directly now then this is kind of a non-factor. For posterity, they’re at 2.84 million subscribers today.
I’m not sure what else to say this time, tbh! It felt like a good time to make one of these with MF season 2 being over but YouTube viewcounts are just…not going to be important anymore for Watcher so there’s not much to say about them. Finding out that a million views only nets between $10-30k has been very eye-opening to me about how piddly the revenue from YouTube is for a production studio like Watcher. The shows they want to make just cost more than they can make off of there. It’s that simple. No one has to like that fact, but that is the heart of all this.
Also, with all of that being said, I think my time as a spreadsheet gremlin is coming to a close. I’m going to keep up with it for a few more weeks and probably do one last round-up for every single video’s views, but with Watcher moving away from YouTube as a business model, there’s little reason to keep up with these. I’ve been making these updates less this year anyway because of a job change and I was losing my steam for it a bit too, so the timing feels right. Like I said, this won’t be my last viewcount post, but maybe second-to-last? And who knows, maybe I’ll check in when Ghost Files premieres but the counts will mean so much less now that the videos will premiere with a month delay from the streamer. We’ll just have to wait and see how the wind blows on this.
Thank you all, as always, for reading, reblogging, replying, liking these posts. Y’all are the reason I’ve kept up with it for four years (and my own nosiness but having encouragement helps!). And don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll have some other spreadsheets to share in the future of Watcher fandom. (I have…so many) So, until next time, thanks again. ❤️

Day 123 of missing AkkAyan. I was going to pick a different scene for today but I opened episode 10 to find it and got lost in repeating this beautiful moment. Undoubtedly one of my favourite scenes I’m focusing on just the first part of it for now.
It’s their first day at school as boyfriends and Ayan is ready to use that to his advantage. His claim to Akk has been put into words in a way it wasn’t before. Before it was just two shared kisses and comfort they provided eachother and while Akk still can’t admit his feelings Ayan made it so he didn’t have to, he let Akk ‘allow’ himself to be his boyfriend. Sure he asked a few times and wouldn’t let Akk sleep but that let Akk almost hide behind the pathetic excuse that is he was just trying to get Ayan to stop annoying him. Something along the lines of ‘yeah sure I’m totally only agreeing to be Ayan’s boyfriend so he will let me go to sleep not because he makes me feel happier or safer than anyone ever has haha’ and that technique of Akk’s to hide behind being annoyed is exactly what he uses in this scene as well. When Ayan asks him if he misses him at all, Akk’s answer of, “I did! Happy now?’ Is a great example of the deflection he uses to allow himself to be honest. He did miss Ayan but he can’t just say that, that’s lowering himself to Ayan’s very sappy level and Akk is too cool and too repressed for that. Ayan of course is very aware of this which is what makes it work for them. Ayan can annoy Akk into being honest and see straight past the insults it takes to get to that point to see the true meaning beyond 🥰.
The scene itself is very pretty, it’s no ep 7 island scene but the lighting here is beautiful and in light of (haha) the gorgeous photos we got of First in the sun today it seemed perfect to talk about. Ayan’s face shines as well but I can’t tell if it’s because of the sun or how widely he is smiling and I can’t tell if that’s the sun shining in his eyes of if they’re bright with love and adoration.
There are so many little bits and pieces I love about this scene I’ll just start listing them. The audio work at the start and the way you can hear their shoes along the floor and Ayan’s palm smack against the wall. That paired with the quick cut from Akk looking so confused to Ayan smiling so widely as the audio fades away makes that moment especially rewatchable. It seriously scratches some part of my brain. I love Akk’s eyes the whole scene although I love them in every scene. First’s eye acting is unmatched and the way his eyes soften from concerned to shy has me entranced. The way Akk’s hand comes up to grab onto Ayan’s backpack, failing at keeping Ayan away and instead holding him there. Ayan’s mini pout.
Akk’s seconds of consideration before he admits to missing Ayan, probably when he thinks about the benefits of being honest or just denying it or doing a mix of both as said before. Ayan’s absolutely radiant smiles throughout the whole scene as he gets to act as the mushy boyfriend he has always wanted to be. The way Akk pulls Ayan’s hand off from the wall behind him and Ayan doesn’t even hesitate for a second to place it right back. How he doesn’t care at all that Wat and Kan are coming and continues on to ask for a kiss.
There’s the fact that this scene is the last scene shown in the intro yet technically we never get that exact scene from the intro because we don’t get a shot from that angle and Ayan’s hand looks to be completely behind Akk’s head (stopping it from knocking into the wall☺️) but because that scene was in the intro it was something to look forward to.
I remember early on I couldn’t picture Akk and Ayan looking at each other with that much love and it gave me butterflies to imagine that’s the two idiots on my screen who hated eachother were going to get to that point eventually.
There’s more to this scene but I’ll leave that for another day. I miss Akk and Ayan, more and more every day.
#AkkAyan#the eclipse#the eclipse the series#first kanaphan#khaotung thanawat#missing Akkayan#it was SUPPOSED to be a short one today and look what fuckin happened#every goddamn time I end up with a full essay#I just love them too much.

Below are some thoughts I had throughout today about the ending of good omens season 2
one reason I don’t like the good omens s2 ending is that the rest of the season was literally a dream come true for me. I’m a big ineffable bureaucracy shipper and have been for a long time so this season was so so so wonderful for me. I’ve read almost every “they met before the fall” fanfic I could find. But now whenever I think about this season it makes me sad, and I don’t like it. How do you give me something so perfect it makes me squeal at loud and then shatter my heart like this. How dare you
Also I hate cliffhanger
But more seriously I comparing it to ofmd has actually helped me understand why I have stronger feelings about this ending that ofmd’s. In ofmd we fully see the conversation that lead to stede leaving and we have the afterwards of him realising he actually wanted to be with ed. We don’t have a Reunion but we have the promise that stede IS coming back.
Here we don’t really see the full conversation between Aziraphale and Mettatron (is that how it’s written ? Idk) and we don’t have the afterwards. I think if ofmd ended with ep 9 and without the entire context of what Badminton said I would be so mad at stede and would have absolutely hated it even more to have to wait for s2. But here I’m fully able to understand why stede leaves and why it’s important that he does so that he have closure with this part of his life.
But during most of good omens season 2 and the end of season nothing really gives me the impression that Aziraphale had not accepted and liked just living in his bookshop and having Crowley around.
I understand that he thinks he could change if he was in charge but he won’t be fully in charge. He will replace Gabriel but in season 1 Aziraphale says he will talk to a higher authority (God) and when talking to Mettatron he doesn’t change his mind. The resolution of season 2 is that when Gabriel (the former angel in charge) didn’t agree with seconde Armageddon they juste went : will take your memories away and make you a low grade angel. So it’s hard to understand what makes Aziraphale believes that HE will be able to do it. To me at first it seemed like he accepted and was happy because it meant being safe with Crowley for eternity but when Crowley refused I was convinced he would go with him. Like the whole time I was like it’s going to end with him choosing Crowley but no.
And that’s not to say the ending is bad it’s just a very very sad ending I’m not happy with because I want a happy ending for them. And if your going to give me a sad ending I with cliffhanger I prefer on like ofmd because I can fully understand why things happened and be able to envision some happiness after it.
And that’s why I like theories that something we don’t know is going on that makes Aziraphale accept. Because to me if we have all the components that makes Aziraphale choose heaven (he thinks he can change things) then it doesn’t really makes sense to me.
But everything is still fresh in my mind and I’m righting thoughts as they come so I’ll probably rewatch both seasons (plus currently listens to the audiobook) and come back at some point with more elaborate takes on this ending.
But I trust Neil to creat something good for what’s to come.
But I still fucking hate cliffhanger don’t do that ever again or somebody will die (probably my will to live)

lev i hope i’m doing this right even though the directions are easy as fck to understand XD this is a cute event so thank you for doing it!!
some context? levi’s in the forest with zeke, and it happens to hit valentine’s day when he’s still there. we’ve been together for about three years at this point. (idek what month it is in the manga during this time, and this letter does not match up to the manga at all, but it can be whatever right…? i rewatched that ep today and my heart cannot take it knowing what happens shortly after. i’m in need of a different reality;_;)
—
my love,
it’s been half a month without you! can you believe that time is flying that fast? it’s the first time we’ve been far apart for this long all these years. i hope you’re doing well on your end and getting some sleep. i know you! i know how you are with your schedule. i have a gut feeling with zeke around, you must barely be getting an ounce of rest. just please keep yourself safe and stable. i hate that you’re with that “bearded shit” instead of being safe with me, as you refer to him. i’m sure your comrades must be keeping you great company though.
everything’s going fine on my end. eren’s still in his cell and he hasn’t said much. hange’s taking it too hard on themselves and they won’t listen when i tell them to take the smallest break. it really reminds me of you. sasha’s going out with niccolo pretty often, the marleyan cook? if you remember him. you had a gun to his head. i totally bet you remember the faces of the people you’ve threatened. it’s always going to be one of the most attractive things about you.
guess what? today’s valentine’s day! did you get the new tea sachets with this letter? i know you must be extra grumpy without it at hand. hopefully this helps you get through your days there. there should also be new ones that i wanted to surprise you with as a gift… mint, chamomile, lemongrass, raspberry and mango tea. tell me about them if you get to trying them. jean and mikasa recommended them. which ones do you like? try drinking the chamomile at night. it’s supposed to help you sleep even though i know you probably don’t want to.
if it isn’t obvious already… i really miss you, vi. i love you so damn much. please take good care of yourself, sweetheart. i really wish to be with you again. it’s so hard sleeping without being wrapped in your arms or… you know, our special long nights that put us both to sleep. lately i keeping thinking about the time you wanted me to try being on top. you never let me get off until you were the most satisfied, huh? i would say i’ll get you back for that but you’ll have me under you in seconds, won’t you?
once this war is over, you’re not allowed to go anywhere without me for longer than a week.
yours,
suki
by the way… you gave me an order before you left. i’ve been a good girl like you asked me to be, captain. don’t you think i deserve a reward when you’re back?
HI SUKI ! - i had a ton of fun with yours💖 pls a universe where everyone is as happy as possible (and also alive) :(( i love it. levi who's been stuck in a forest for 2 weeks (so far) without his partner of nearly 3 years?? - he would be in such an antsy mood but so sweet. i hope u like it :)
without a doubt, your song is bae by the front bottoms
Dear Suki,
At least for you, time has been moving at a reasonable pace. I’ve been camping for two weeks with a monkey breathing down my neck, and as such it’s felt like more or less an eternity. I’m not about to get used to missing you like hell, or constantly getting dirt underneath my fingernails.
The good news is that no one is that antsy yet—just on edge. I have good men doing most of the legwork out here, so don’t worry. I’ve had plenty of time to think about you when this bearded asshole decides he’s bored and starts reading aloud from his same shitty book.
As for Hange, they’ve started acting a lot like Erwin you-know-who these days; Onyankopon better be keeping an eye on them. I hope you’re not just sitting around staring at that idiot, Eren. You need someone to look after you too, to keep your head on straight. Sasha has that smarmy guy Niccolo, who yes, I remember. Does that really make me attractive?
Grumpy is one word for how I’ve been. I’ve bitched a lot so far, I realize, but maybe that’ll be a little added entertainment for you. The appeal of this whole assignment has definitely worn off for me, anyway—not that it had any to begin with. I look at my watch a lot, and ask about how you and Hange are when I get word back from the cities. You can probably guess the amount of sleep I’ve been getting, but enough about me.
The best we can ask for is to feel ‘fine’ right now. That means you’re safe. That’s one thing to be glad about, along with this tea—surprisingly none were ruined in the transport process. Finally, something that feels familiar. As usual, you’re a lifesaver… Thank you.
Mint is my favorite so far (yes, I’ve tried a couple already… bite me). If you really want my thoughts on each, I’ll do that. I shouldn’t take too much of your time, if you’re busy. As I said, the mint sachet is my favorite. It tastes ‘clean’, if that makes sense. It helps the rations go down easier, too.
The chamomile is good—too good. I didn’t think it’d make me so tired in the afternoon, and since you especially recommended it, I guess I got ahead of myself. And you’re right, I’m not a fan of the idea of completely letting my guard down for a few hours (regardless of how good the security is), but fine. You really want me to take care of myself, right?
Make sure you’re doing the same: sleeping, eating enough (and not just those sweets Hange hordes at HQ), bathing. I think I still have a bottle of that old shampoo you always liked in the back of the bathroom linen closet. You especially enjoyed attaching yourself to me when I used it, so I bought extras. You can gather why. Maybe it’ll help.
I’ve written a complete essay so far—of course, I miss you too.
It’s crazy, what you do to me. All you did was put a few sentences on a page, and you’ve left me with a real problem. I can’t stop thinking about our last night together. The sound of your voice in my ear (after how loud you got, how could I forget?) and your hands all over me. I can’t speak for my back right now, but there are still marks from your nails, all down my chest. So don’t be coy—clearly you enjoyed being on top.
I can’t decide—for next time—which way I want you. Every option riles me up so much I can hardly stand it, but you’ve been a good girl. I’ll let you decide this time. That’ll be your reward after I’ve licked you a couple of times, because it’s just as good for you as it is for me. You’ll be in for more than you think when we’re together again, sweetheart.
Wait for me.
Yours,
Levi
For my V-Day event: Pop a love letter to your favorite aot character into my inbox, and receive one back!

Gay Oar!!! ✨💖 - second post
After I wrote my nerdy little text about the appearance of Oar Oar in the Mansa Musa PH ep (you can find that post here), I naturally also had to write one about Sword Oar appearing in the Smallpox ep.
I honestly should have expected him to show up sooner or later after his boyfriend already did but it still caught me off guard. ✨
I’ll use my beautiful “autisticwatcher” tag for this (and if you also have to say things about Watcher-related autism stuff or autism-related Watcher stuff, feel free to use it too). Here is an attempt to justify it even though this topic probably is not inherently autistic: a) I experience every part of life through an autistic lense and b) the ways I express joy are... let’s say, atypical.
Here’s what I mean by that (and don’t worry, this is going somewhere): I am not a very outwardly expressive person. My face is kind of neutral most of the time (you could call it resting bitch bastard face), I have a voice that is often monotonous, and I don’t like showing strong emotions.
And this is what I did when Sword Oar showed up: I sort of jerked back in my chair and clapped my hands once. Then continued watching the episode with the biggest autistic grin (i.e. with what probably looked like a mild smile from the outside). ✨
Let’s get into it! Once again, it brought me great happiness to write this, and - be warned - some of this stuff is pretty specific. And once again, I did not expect that I would spend my time writing about a sponsorship part. ^-^
Enjoy! 💖
“Okay, moving along! Oh-” - “Oar are we!” Never stop with the oar puns, please. I live for the oar puns.
I think I already talked about Oar Oar’s voice and how much I like it but Sowrd Oar’s voice is equally amazing (sometimes a bit hard to understand but I can live with that - I love that voice). I also enjoyed his soft little laugh in the beginning. It was sweet.
We get a little more info on the Professor who apparently smells like “rotten cotton candy mixed with expired vinegar” (also, the sound effect after that killed me lol). Oof. Didn’t have to expose him like that lmao. I like that Sword Oar says to the Professor “I like you but you are a smelly guy” - confirming that he indeed likes him (I have one or two headcanons about this but I am... not going to mention them here, for reasons I will write about below).
The sponsor for this episode is Scentbird, and Sword Oar starts talking about “smelling seasonally appropriate” which I like - we are transitioning into autumn, the leaves will change soon, it is almost Over the Garden Wall rewatch time (I usually start my annual rewatch in October), and I just like the autumn vibes, the thoughts of pumpkins and colorful leaves and little ghosts. It’s my favorite time of the year. 🍂
Here’s a quote from the episode: “put that light sexy summer fragrances on the shelf in exchange for a thick seductive scent for the colder months”.
Okay okay OKAY you... you can’t do this to me!! >:( I have Thoughts about this, okay? Again, I am not giving you any details here (see below) but I have one or two new ideas about Sword Oar’s and Oar Oar’s relationship, and all this talk about “sexy” and “seductive” is not helping.
Like... not to get too depressed in a post about anthropomorphic oars and a sponsorship but there was a time when it was not even legal to be gay (and that time was not that long ago) and there was a time when I did not see any happy queer representation in any media. (I had Brokeback Mountain and that movie is sad as all hell; it breaks my heart every time I watch it, it is incredibly tragic, and that was pretty much the only thing I saw happening to queer people in fiction when I was growing up - struggle, suffering and death. It does something to a queer teenager, is what I am saying. And you carry that pain into adulthood, even if things do get better.)
And then look at these oars - openly gay, openly in love and openly sexual with each other. Yes I am getting emotional about a goofy little quote in a friggin’ sponsorship part, goddamnit!! Even considering all the things that are better now, queer people still get hurt and harassed and harmed and sometimes killed for being queer, and queer sexuality is still stigmatized, and it means a lot to me to have these puppets who are just so unapologetically gay and talk openly about it.
Maybe all of this is an overreaction to a tiny little quote. But it makes me happy (and sad), and I want to talk about it. ❤️
Moving on! To more queer stuff (it is more lighthearted this time, don’t worry)! :D
He mentions not having arms or legs, and that’s the bane of my existence tbh. You probably know by now that I draw a lot of gay oars art, and I have complained before about the fact that these guys don’t have hands. Do you know how many gentle things I could draw if they had hands? You can’t lovingly hold someone’s face without hands, you can’t intertwine your fingers with them, you can’t hug them without arms. So. Yeah. The audacity! /lh
(Come to think of it, Maizey and Gebra don’t have hands either. Shane Madej, sir, I am begging you, please give your LGBTQ+ characters hands!)
Here is another quote: “Let me give you a rundown of some of the sweet sweet sniffs I’ve been dancing with thanks to Scentbird.” Ugh it sounds so charming. It’s just such a charming way to put it. 🌻
He then lists some fragrances and I especially want to mention Confessions of a Rebell - Morning After, and the quote “hot nights never smelled so good”.
I AM ASKING YOU AGAIN
WHY
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
And again, I won’t go into all the new headcanons and ideas and thoughts I have about these oars and here is the reason - I don’t know how many minors are following me. Like, I don’t want to make this stuff sound too lewd or crass because I think that queer sexuality is already too often seen as something “dirty” instead of something perfectly okay and natural. Still, I will keep some of my thoughts to myself. Let’s just say, I am very fond of... all of this. 😊
Annnnyyyyways, Sword Oar lists a whole lot of other stuff, and I know that he has to talk about the sponsor, but what I am getting from this is, the guy really likes his scents.
He mentions amber+leather, he mentions lavender, and he mentions Gendarme - Sky which is a “complex and sultry blend of bergamot, cardamom and aged leather”, and I now have a few more ideas about what Oar Oar smells like. (Personally, I like “masculine” scents. Wood, leather and the like.)
Watcher has a code again (you can get 30% off). ✨
The last thing I want to mention is this: “you delicious thing, you”. I am not entirely sure if he is talking to the Professor or the audience but I am okay with both. Because a) I already have a headcanon about the oars and the Professor (which I will not talk about here because, again, there are probably some minors following me) and b) ... oh to be called a “delicious thing” by an anthropomorphic gay oar. 😘
That’s it for now. I spent the better part of three hours with this and hey, if you want to do me a favor, be kind to a queer person today (and if you are any flavor of LGBTQ+, please be kind to yourself - you are wonderful). 💖
I did not mean for this whole text to be this emotional and sometimes sad but I don’t mind it either.
Thanks for reading! ✨💕
❤️ 💛 💚 💙 💜
Also, here is some of my older art. Seemed appropriate. ^-^

QUEEN OF THE SOUTH FINALE 5x10 POST-EP REACTION
spoilers! under! the cut!!!!!
holy fucking shit!! it’s over!!!! wow wow.
get ready for some ramble-y ass, v unorganized, first reactions to the finale, because i am wine drunk and emotional and still trying to get my heart down to a resting pulse and i have so many thoughts
- okay that was a damn gripping episode, i was on the edge of my damn seat the whole time. i went in with like 99% faith that teresa and james were gonna come out alive but they still had me STRESSED the whole damn time!!!! like even tho i was seeing the little signs throughout the episode that it was all a plan my heart was pounding like crazy!!
- i went into today thinking as long as teresa and james were alive in the end i would be happy but then rewatched a bunch of old episodes right before the finale and remembered that i did indeed care about pote and kellyanne and really actually would be upset if they had died, so i was quite stressed, especially for pote at the end!! when he’s fighting boaz!! which also! was super badass btw. all the sicarios backing off at the end!! lol at the random dude who save pote’s life by making boaz take the “sicario’s challenge” tho (which like? lol what?) like okay haha
- everyone loves chicho so much haha him and pote are so cute!!! i love how much chicho gave his all for pote and KA this episode, i’m sad he couldn’t come w them but it was SO CUTE to see chicho with marcel at the end!!! building a bunch of legit businesses and growing the PCCC!!! i love that journey for them.
- i really didn’t think pote was in on it because honestly i didn’t think he would be able to be that good of an actor (the character, not the actual actor, hemky is amazing lol) but i mean pote really pulled thru. he let all his damn emotions out for that performance cuz i was fully convinced he didn’t know until the end when it shows them telling him. actually i got an inkling when he was saying goodbye to marcel and chicho and gave marcel the ~gift~ from teresa lol.
- i do wish we had gotten more flashbacks because like when exactly did james figure out that devon was gonna order him to kill teresa? when did he tell her? did they figure it out together? teresa said she had a boat on standby for TWO YEARS does this mean the plan had been in place that long??? like before james left phoenix??????? or was the boat just always there and the plan came later??? idk tho. i watched 3.05 today and the “if they come for me, i’ll be ready” “if they come for you, I’LL be ready” REALLY HITS A LIL DIFFERENT NOW TBH what if james already had an inkling and when devon showed up that night it confirmed his suspicions.. and they started planning like. that night after they fucked. dude. idk the wheels are turning too fast in my brain rn. ik they probably just planned it this season after james was “let go” by devon and they knew it was too easy, and maybe just in the past couple weeks’ episodes. but who the fuck knows!!!
- i still wanna know how exactly they faked her death. no confirmation on the powder/ coke theory.. and no discussion of the coke habit if it was one. but if this was the long game situation and they’ve been planning all along.. maybe that theory still holds water.. idk y’all that’s the explanation i’m going w because i can’t think of anything else lol
- okay THE ENDING OMG!!!!! was it a bit cheesy and predictable and entirely too short? yes. did i LOVE IT ANYWAYS OMG LOOK AT THEM THEY’RE ALIVE AND HAPPY!!!!???? YESS BITCH okay by the end i was just so damn relieved that they were alive i honestly didn’t care that the teresa’s-alive-reveal happened like 4mins30secs before the end lmao because they were a beautiful almost five mins. i may get saltier about it but LOOK how happy she is!!! look how happy james is!!! and pote and kellyanne have a sweet lil child that teresa and james can be auntie and uncle to and it’s SO CUTE I NEED ALL THE FANART SINCE TERESA AND JAMES DIDN’T ACTUALLY GET A SCENE W THEIR HONORARY NIECE😭😭😭 FEN?? SOMEONE?? i’ll do it myself if no one else does, maybe even if someone else does because that’s so cute (eventually lol)
- do u think james and kellyanne coordinated their respective swim shorts (surf shorts?? lmfao) and nail polish on purpose because they are THE EXACT SAME SHADE OF HOT PINK and i think that’s so cute for them lmfao
- james in that button up w the wavy hair 😍 teresa in her cute lil beach top and her wavy hair 😍😍 them being happy and in love and alive in a cute lil beach house with their family 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰 i’m so happy for them!!! they made it out!! they outsmarted everyone!! teresa outsmarted everyone!! without shutting out the people in her life!! we love to see it!
- even though we didn’t exactly get a callback to a jeresa moment, we did get a “you okay?” “yeah” which kinda counts and i’ll fucking take it because you know what?? SHE IS ACTUALLY OKAY FOR ONCE. THEY ARE ACTUALLY BOTH OKAY. MORE THAN OKAY. NOW I’M NOT OKAY WHAT THE FUCK.
-also i LOVED the appearance and disappearance of The Queen there at the end!! her little approving nod and willing departure!! and that james was the one to notice her floating off and bring her back to earth from her final vision or hallucination of her queenpin self!! and then he makes a toast to their new life!! the one that she risked it all to build with him!! ahhhh i’m emo y’all!
- i am also still a little confused about some things tho, namely, why exactly did devon suddenly order boaz to back down and send pote to solitary confinement for protection?? was it really just because he believed he was being the “good guy” and that pote was doing his “deserved” time (even tho it wasn’t even for cartel stuff but ok) and he didn’t like the way boaz did business? cuz i feel like he wouldn’t care that much about pote’s safety even if that were the case i mean.. he wanted them all dead like two seconds before that.. i really don’t get that so if anyone has insight please lemme know!!!
- oh my god i don’t even know y’all that was so much!!! i’m sure i have more thoughts but i can’t even think of them rn!! i just wanna reblog all the gifs and see everyone’s thoughts!!! woo! we did it y’all! we made it. they made it!!!! thank fuck! 🥰😍❤️🎉😂
#queen of the south#qots#queen of the south spoilers#qots spoilers#jeresa#holy shit you guys! i can’t believe it’s really over#what a wild. ride.

ok i watched the imaishi sw short uhhhh me screaming & spoilers below:
THATS STAR WARS BABEY!!!!!!! i KNEW trigger would get it i KNEW they would
“oh yes let’s take the power from the propulsion system and use that” HUH??? that makes NO sense and i love it!!!! also um. good 2 see karre using the propulsion system to his own benefit instead of the other way around.
dub vas were okay. probably i was just expecting lio’s and satsuki’s voices so their actual voices threw me off lmao. also hiroyuki sawano i miss you 🥺
I SWEAR THEY USED SOME SHOTS FROM PRMR!!!!!! like i’ve pointed out that when am stabs herself with the crystal it looks like lio pulling the absolute zero bullet out of himself in the volcano BUT ALSO there’s a shot that i swear has the same story boarding or keyframes (idk animation terms) as i think when lio climbs out of lio de galón after thawing galo to punch kray. like i SWEAR it’s the same or very similar!!!! it’s right after karre slides under am (another lio move) and right before am says “save me?! you can’t even save yourself!” (which. kray Also says “save me?” but it’s before galo punches him so.)
animation ofc was GORGEOUS and i did LOVE the colors and also every shot where it was clear the animation was 3d. there weren’t many but they were all great!!!! idk what else to say here except that it’s TRIGGER so like. DUH
at the end. the fucking DROID wearing the helmet in space. when karre and am have just been duking it out helmetless. I DIED 😂😂😂💀💀💀
open ended ending regarding how & why the twins were created………….galolio kids are not ruled out!!!!!!!!! (also am having a single earring that’s a CIRCLE in the ear OPPOSITE LIO’S………..HMMM)
man. when i tell you i SCREAMED when the “star destroyer blocking out the stars” visual trope turned into TWO CONNECTED STAR DESTROYERS. studio trigger i am kissing you on the lips
also like. MAN. star wars is ABOUT LOVE and ridiculous lightsaber battles and saving your family even if they’re kinda shitty (and ofc your friends, but they’re definitely NOT shitty) and TRIGGER GOT IT!!!! genuinely this is Good star wars and i’m never watching another new piece of d*sney sw ever again. rogue one 🤝 the twins = being the only bitches i respect in here
that’s a lie i’ll probably watch the other trigger ep after work today BUT!!!!!! yeah this one was fun and visually stunning. (not on prmr’s level but STILL.) thank you to imaishi and trigger for the food and i will continue my ttgl rewatch this weekend happy <3
WAIT ALSO forgot to mention this the first time around but. the twins wearing UNSEXY KAMUI IS SO FUNNY
WAIT OKAY ANOTHET THING I FORGOT IS when am stabbed herself with the crystal i shouted ANTISPIRAL NIA!!! also it’s so funny to me that this time the mysterious thing from space wasn’t promare or life fibers or antispirals but THE TWINS THEMSELVES
#yes it’s like 6am no way was i gonna be able to concentrate today if i didn’t watch it before work akdjdnendndj#f: star wars#sw: shows#sw: visions#t.txt#i talk abt prmr a lot in here too but like. that’s to be expected akdjdnenendhxjsk

Ok, But Seriously, I Have Thoughts
I have... really mixed feelings about this episode, so I'm gonna talk about those feelings. And if my feelings about zep as a show and this season come out during that... so be it. (Seriously, this got long. I'd apologize, but I'm not sorry). Also spoilers for the new ep below the cut, but y'all should've been able to guess that
- I... Zimon seriously deserves just so much better. We saw them as a couple together for three episodes, and they honestly weren't explored enough. Zimon... and this is a very personal opinion, but they really do strike me as a couple who never fully leave the honeymoon phase... like ever. Like, of course, they'll fight and disagree on a lot of things, but they also can have adult children, and just kind of act like newlyweds even if they've been married for over twenty years. And again, I know that's a very personal opinion, but I mean... we all knew c/arkeman was gonna be endgame, and it just feels like zimon was never given an actual chance.
- However, I do very much appreciate that their breakup was not messy, there's still clearly a ton of respect for the other on both of their sides, and that Simon is okay.
- "We didn't belong together." No, you fucking did.
- I am not going to stop writing Zimon fanfic either. In fact, this might spur me to write more and work harder on writing Zimon fanfic.
- Rose. Fucking. Deserves. Better. I'm not even gonna elaborate on this one. We all know it.
- Despite the fact that I fucking hate c/arkeman and that it was very, very rushed... I'm giving acting and singing props to Jane. I Melt With You is a song that's extremely personal to me. It helped get me through a point in my life where... I was constantly feeling at war with others, myself, and even felt unsafe in my own home (something I still feel today, no matter how irrational I know it is). I just generally feel a strong connection to every version of the song bc of that, whether it's the original or the Bowling for Soup cover (that was in Sky High!), and... Jane just has a way of making me feel safe when she sings. So, I really, really loved her cover.
- Um... yeah, I'm gonna be real, I don't like the idea of Max having powers. I don't know, I just think it kinda changes the whole original concept of the show, and I'm not a big fan of that...
- Simon! Simon working on changing SPRQ Point!!!!
- I do not really like how they handled Simon's racial bias/systemic racism in coding storyline *after* episode six (aka it only really being mentioned in passing, not being further explored, etc.), but,,, credits due where it's due I guess? I like how they handled him going to Danny Michael Davis, and how DMD listened.
- Sidenote, I kinda find it weird we as a fandom don't refer to him as Danny... it's Danny Michael Davis, DMD, or fucking Willy Wonka jokes. Makes sense I guess.
- Um... the writing was just... so lazy. Yeah. It's... really sad, I think that the show would've benefitted from even one less ep. But on the other hand... lazy writing is lazy writing.
- I think it would've been better - honestly - if Zoey's feelings of loss hadn't been connected to Max in a romantic way, but in a platonic/familial way. We didn't see a ton of their friendship, and yeah,, I hate Max, but there are a few moments there where you can see a legitimate friendship that's really sweet. I also think if they had maybe explored Zoey's fear of losing Simon as well as Max and centered the finale more on Zoey telling Simon about her power, it would've just been a lot better.
- But... honestly, after I just aired out all my issues with this episode (and the season too kinda),,, I honestly liked it. I hate that Zimon broke up and I just generally hate cl*arkeman but... this ep had some really great moments. Zoey and Mitch were beautiful to see again. Mctobin, Davidemily, and Mo x Perry were all absolutely my favorite parts of the episode. Hell, I'll even admit I... well I don't wanna say laughed considering I was so close to crying, but I let out a weird, breathy noise resembling a laugh when Zoey just blurted out she and Simon had broken up.
I don't want to say it was a bad episode, because I did honestly, enjoy ~parts~ of it... but... it wasn't even that cl/arkeman happened, I knew it would, but how it did... it just honestly (my g.od i need to stop writing that word) seemed like they were trying to kill off or like... fucking quash *any* hope Zimon shippers may have had,,, and the writing was just so fucking lazy, I just...
I started the show after dance one night because my teacher showed us the Help! number bc he was an extra in it. And I had already been intrigued by the few ads I had seen for it. So, my mom and I watched it, and we loved it. So we kept watching. And it was good! It was really good! Sure it could be cheesy, but... that didn't matter. I latched on...
I don't know if, ZEP is gonna get renewed, and if it is, I don't know if I'll watch it if/when it does. I latch on to shows really fucking hard when I do latch on. It's why I keep rewatching The Good Place and why I'll never forgive Freeform/Disney/Marvel for canceling Cloak and Dagger. The way I latch onto things is probably a bit unhealthy. And the fact of the matter is, despite everything, my overwhelming feelings about ZEP are positive. And I latched on. I'd honestly do it all over again.
I have a lot of feelings about this fandom and this show, both positive and negative. Still, I love it. Unconditionally. Ultimately, I don't care if Zoey ends up with Max or Simon (though, seriously, she and Simon are made for each other). It's a good fucking show, ships shouldn't be everything that matters.
I began lurking in this fandom when I was fifteen. I began posting fanfic for it when I was sixteen. I'm almost seventeen now. I was planning to get Tumblr when I was seventeen. I also knew I wouldn't forgive myself if I hadn't made my presence here known if it didn't get renewed.
I want to thank @simon-haynes because, uh, holy fuck, I adore you. Running a blog for fandom is something I couldn't even fathom, especially when a large portion of the fandom doesn't like your ship. I legitimately can't believe you followed me.
Thank you to @jennakang. You are, honestly, one of the best writers I've ever read from. You were so incredibly supportive of my writing on ao3, despite the fact you didn't know who I was, and that really meant the world to me. Thank you so much for your contributions to the fandom. Also, uh, fun fact, I was the anon who, after you expressed the want to write the quarantined Zimon fic, sent in that ask that was like "please do!" and also "hope I'm not being pushy about this". I don't know if you remember that at all, but your response meant the world to me.
And uh, lastly @myheartissetinmotion. Um, wow. I know we barely know each other, but I can honestly say, you have been my anchor for this whole show. I love both your Tori content on TikTok as well as just zep content you do on there, and how you wrote her into zep on ao3. I personally like to think of you as the pioneer of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Tok. You were pretty unbiased when it came to ships on there, and that made me feel safe in a place where there were virtually no zimon shippers. Your content was funny, and I always found myself laughing or screaming "accurate" at it. I know, I'm the nuisance who every few months DMs you about something zep related, but I hope you know, you made me feel both seen and somewhat appreciated in this fandom. I cannot thank you enough, Isabella 💗
I know Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist may not be ending. But this still oddly feels like the end of an era. I'm not leaving the fandom, I plan to keep posting fanfic for it and everything. I just want everyone who may be reading this to know I love this fandom and I would not take any moment here back.
Also, this is me formally asking for a link to a Discord group chat since I know it exists but I'm too scared to actually ask any of you for it directly.

idk if my mind is remembering correctly and if you watched Owl House (if you didn't feel free to ignore this ask lmao)
Dude I was binging the latest Owl House clips on youtube and then I found the full episode S2ep16 and oh my god
Anyways, my brain slapped me with TOH Nart au... Obt as the human, Kushin.a is the cursed witch (instead of owl its a fox) and Minat.o is Raine. Uhh Rin is Willow (I was thinking Ten.zo would be Amnity and his relationship with Obt would be platonic but also I was thinking of him swapping places with Rin idk). And Kks is Hunter (the last of his clan and just trying to prove his worth) with Danz.o being Belos (I would explain more but, it's MAJOR spoilers for the show)
Hunter is best boy </3
AUUHGHSSK THEY HAVENT RELEASED IT ON D+ IM SOOO ANGRY like mr disney NOBODY has cable anymore nobody cares UGH I WANNA WATCH IT !!!
and ok ok YES literally i love this so much bc kushina as eda is so <3333!!! PERFECT!! i will def be drawing this once i get my stylus abjjjddgbh
and kks as hunter is perfect and amazing and after i watch s3 i’ll have more context but i think rin as amity would be good and obito having a rship with her before they’re both like “yk actually. i think we’re better off as friends”
ughskdjd this is perfect!! i will probably be rewatching some owl house eps today skjdskkj
#i’m so frustrated that s3 isn’t out yet#i caught one episode of it at a hotel and found out who belos was but i never saw any more 😢😢#and i don’t wanna look at spoilers yet i want it to be a Fresh watch#kirpy answers#this is a banger idea tho i thought about this a few months ago but evidently never went thru w it#ALSO HUNTER IS BEST BOY I WANT TO HUG HIM :’)))#tohnrt au

Ephemera Week (2002)
In which I review stuff in a non-specific way, covering the shows that Adult Swim merely acquired but did not produce themselves:
The Oblongs (originally aired on WB, 2001)
How many different ways can I say a show mostly sucked? Honestly, I railed against this show hard when it came on Adult Swim. I caught a few minutes of an episode on the WB and didn’t really care to keep watching it. I think it was the first episode?
In the early 2000s, there was a lot of embarrassing attempts to be “weird” and “tWiStEd” in the media landscape, and most of it I judged harshly. If I could smell that a TV Network was attempting to court the Hot Topic demographic I would reject and pounce on anyone who liked it. I remember pompously dressing down a friend of a friend who liked this show, which is also really embarrassing. Honestly I’m at the point in my life now where if I accidentally make fun of a show or movie to the face of somebody who likes those things I feel terrible and feel the need to apologize profusely. Please don’t not like the Oblongs on my account.
The show was about the lower-class have-not Oblong Family who lived under the sewer drains of the elite upper-class. Their side of the tracks is so polluted by the rich citizen’s waste that they are all mutated, presumably from toxic waste-induced birth-defects. The dad is voiced by Will Ferrell and he doesn’t have any arms or legs. He has a Charles and Mambo style son voiced by the Sklars. Everything is grotesque, but in a cutesy marketable way.
Even today as an avowed MARXIST (as far as you know) I probably could come up with some revisionist argument about how this show is good, actually, but my heart simply wouldn’t be in it. Nobody needed the Chapo Trap House dicks telling the world to rewatch Avatar and nobody needs me telling them to do the same with The Oblongs.
Listen, I didn’t rewatch any of this and I’m sorry, but I literally watched every episode on Adult Swim despite not enjoying it all that much. The whole thing seemed like it was meant for teens who dress in all black and have too many zippers on their pants. Go to Denny’s drink freaking COFFEE, and talk about the latest ep of Oblongs. Damn. Dark shit.
Here’s your goddamn Adult Swim schedule. All of them aired Sunday Night at 10:30PM. Shows that were previously unaired are in bold.
August 4: Misfit Love (Pilot)
August 11: Disfigured Debbie
August 18: Narcoleptic Scottie

September 1: Flush, Flush, Sweet Helga
September 8: Get off My Back
September 15: Please Be Genital
September 22: The Golden Child
September 29: Milo Interrupted
October 6: My Name Is Robbie
October 13: Bucketheads
October 20: Father of the Bribe
October 27: Heroine Addict
MAIL BAG
Lotta anons in my mentions today... typical
Dont worry about these blue baby likers, i know wer'e both true hill-heads, Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down (Toasters, Mission Hill e101)
It is because we are cool that we like Mission Hill and detest Baby Blues. Any show about being cool is good: It’s true
Kind of crazy to see Bill Oakley go from The Simpson to Mission Hill to reviewing fast food in his car.
I think he does other stuff like make his own soda and drink his own soda. I think that’s it, though.
What's your favorite adult swim piece of merch you own. PLEASE DON"t SAY THE MASTER SHAKE AIR FRESHNER I DON"T CARE ABOUT THAT!
That was it :( Do I count the DVDs? ATHF volume 2 DVD is maybe my favorite of the DVDs it has a lot of fun extras and stuff. volume 3 is also really good. Somewhere in my archives I Have a Sealab 2021 shirt, which was mailed out vaccu-formed into a hockey puck shape, and I have never actually unwrapped it. The wrinkles must be UNREAL. I wonder if it’s worth anything.
Richard Branson makes you an offer you can't refuse: A chance to go into space with him on his next big flight OR an all expense paid All-Night Adult Swim Themed Dance Party for you and your closest four friends. Which do you take? Oh, per "Branson's Rules" you are officially a virgin again by taking one of these prizes so you will have to have sex at least one more time in your life for that not to be the case. Sorry.
I would not take either prize though the prospect of regaining my virginity is tantalizing. I need it
Did Smash Mouth ever do anything with Adult Swim? For some reason I can imagine the fat lead singer pointing to a picture of Brak and smiling. Could it all just be simply a dream?
You are thinking of Guy Fieri, who famously goes to every Red Robin in North America searching for Brak merch on the wall. This was caused by him finding a big old Cartoon Planet bus-stop ad framed on the wall of the Red Robin in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He was so happy he made the hostess take a photo of him smiling next to it. As far as I know his search has yielded no other results. But the search is what’s important.
What do you think Eric Andre's deal is. Retarded or just straight up weird?
I saw somebody on twitter call him a hack and it was ponderous. His stand-up is nowhere near as brilliant as his show, and I’ve heard mixed reviews regarding that motion picture he did. It’s too racist to call him either of the things you wrote so I’ll abstain from weighing in

The Mandalorian Chapter 13 reactions
Well, that was... well. in short I quite enjoyed some of what happened while din was there and I didn’t really care about what happened while he wasn’t there lol. I think it’s becoming increasingly clear that I just don’t care for the episodes dave filoni writes for this show, which is simply a matter of taste I guess.
(if you loved this episode wholeheartedly -- probably look away now, I’m going to be a bit of a downer about it and I don’t want to shit on your joy haha)
- let’s just get this out of the way first: there’s a lot of stuff around rosaria dawson and transphobia in real life and yeah, of course that affects how I watch the show. I don’t even want to talk that much about ahsoka in this because of it. she was not that good in the role, after seeing how it played out I don’t think the character needed to be in this show at all, and she should never have gotten the role in the first place and that’s about it for what I’ve got to say.
- dave filoni consistently does things with din’s characterization that feels off and weird to me, subtly out of place with what we see in other episodes (he’s... ruder? more short tempered/cocky/actively or aggressively interpersonal? more prone to express himself directly than he is usually? idk how to describe it but filoni!din always feels one step to the left of what he should be and I’m so hyper-attuned to this character that when something’s a bit iffy with him it throws everything else off haha. it feels like a shallower, more convenient read on him and I don’t like it)
I also think filoni is almost too familiar with and in love with the source material sometimes? “A Mandalorian and a Jedi? They’ll never see it coming” is undeniably a great line that echoes in decades of deep lore and so on, but dave my good man din had no real idea what a jedi even is until literally this morning. we, the audience, know about this long and storied history, but unless ahsoka spent the afternoon explaining it to him din still only knows the faint outlines of it, he has no personal experience of or attachment to it. it’s not bad, as such, it just rings false to the character based tone of the show for me personally
- positivity break: baby sitting perched on the dashboard to be close to papa while they’re in hyperspace........sd sdfskdjhfdsakjksdhfkasjd
also this is some full on madonna and child in the manger shit and I am LIVING for it (odds he’s crying quietly behind the helmet here? pretty damn good if you ask me). the mundanity of what’s essentially the shitty spartan bathroom of the razor crest on one side contrasted with the light and tenderness and love on the other? amazing, a perfect microcosm of what this show does with combining the grittier everyday down to earth stuff in the star wars universe with myth and wonder and magic and through it elevating both
- the idea of having an iconique samurai/sword duel standoff and a western standoff going on simultaneously is genuinely inspired, but in action it didn’t really work for me. (the sword duel stuff needs these moments of stillness with sudden outbursts of violence and then stillness again, the western standoff needs mounting tension until it’s nearly unbearable, and cutting between them the way they did you sort of didn’t get either to its full potential. again it’s a cool idea, though, I hope someone picks it up and does it better at some point)
- seeing a jedi and a mandalorian wander together through a burned out wasteland left desolate by greed and warfare should have hit me harder than it did but for some reason it didn’t, idk. thematically sound, though, I like it a lot on the metaphor level
- I LOVE that pure beskar makes a specific sound, and that it’s an almost ethereal noise like the high clear chime of a distant bell. also now din has something to fight light sabers with that isn’t the dark saber which makes me so happy because you guys I do not want him to be the mand’alor. keep that funky laser sword away from my dad, apart from killing him at the end that is literally the most boring way to end his arc pls do NOt
- wow they really went in hard on the samurai stuff in this one huh! there is a part of my mchanzo-loving heart that thrives on seeing a space cowboy and a space samurai team up, *wild otp-fuelled whisper* they’re twin genres inextricably entwined okay they belong together if you see this spreadsheet I’ve made over here --
- even knowing it was just a trick I felt such intense distress seeing the signet pauldron away from din. like the attachment I have to these pieces of metal because That Armour Means Dad... wild
- they really chose the dumbest name possible for the baby huh fsajdfhsaj I agree with din his name is ‘kid’ now (eh just give me a while to get used to it probably I’ll come around)
also... you know what I’ve said before about shrinking the big unknowable galaxy ‘the mandalorian’ has been setting up? wow did they do that big time in this one, and it makes me feel decidedly :/. why does the baby have to come from the jedi temple, is there truly no other tradition of force users in the entire galaxy he could be from? WHY do you have to pull thrawn into this when most people watching this show won’t even know why he’s such a big deal? is this a stealth tease for a rebels sequel? if so why spend an entire episode of this show that only gets eight precious episodes a season on it??
- on a more fun positive note: baby’s clothes are clean again, so it’s confirmed that din does wash them (and I guess that he does have some means of washing clothes aboard the razor crest!). I loved... most of the dad and baby stuff in this one, but then don’t I always I’m easy to please that way haha (the ‘playing catch’ sequence felt a bit off to me but I don’t know why. din being like ‘he’s so stubborn’ wasn’t... eh. didn’t land right. “that would be a first” was fun tho lol)
- having ahsoka state the baby’s feelings out loud like that felt... weird? and also kind of unnecessary in parts, like yeah he’s a baby who’s been passed along to different groups of strangers and experimented on by empire scientists, you don’t need to spell it out for me that he’s been scared and lonely, or at least spell it out more interestingly? it’s such blunt force storytelling where it didn’t need to be? there are more elegant ways to get the same things across, I am absolutely convinced
- ...wow while I was watching the episode I was mostly like ‘okay this is Fine I can go along with it’ but seeing what I’m thinking about in hindsight... yeah probably my least favourite episode of this show full stop haha, it took the spot from chapter 5 which was also a filoni ep
- I did 100% genuinely adore the whole part of din approaching the town and meeting the magistrate. consistently hiding the baby behind his cape and his arm? being deliberately, teeth-grindingly dispassionate with everyone, just giving them nothing? getting to see a bit of professional bounty hunter din again? wonderful in every way, I love this man
- lots of meaningful shots of baby in the middle with a mando on one side and a jedi on the other, it’s almost like they’re setting up some Themes here lol
- ...do you think din told ahsoka about either the rhino-levitating or the force choking. because girl I don’t think not training him is going to make this just go away haha, he just won’t know what he’s doing
- it makes me so sad that baby connects his force powers with being abused :( (also a heartbreaking sign of just how much he cared about din from the very beginning, since he used it on the mudhorn to save him anyway ;________; was that like. literally the first time he sensed kindness and affection in anyone in like twenty five years or... )
- I understand why ahsoka would feel this way because of her past and specific traumas, but tbh attachment in a baby? probably a good thing, he doesn’t really have the higher brain functions to cultivate non-attachment yet and needs a safe figure because again. he is a baby.
good on her for realizing it’s not a task she can take on both for the baby’s sake and her own, and also that din is that baby’s Dad though. the way she smiled at the end watching them leave seemed vaguely hopeful/had a little bit of wonder in it, like maybe she felt the potential for something good there, something she couldn’t conceptualize from her background but could sense the tentative outlines of anyway?
(also so much pressure on a lil bb to decide his path... his dilemmas should be limited to what colour socks he wants to wear today not the course of his entire life :( I know he’s a magic baby but.......)
- idk maybe I’ll find more affection of this episode through rewatches, you never know
