(Castlevania Nocturne Spoilers)

*Screaming, crying, throwing myself on the floor* Oh God episode 8- ‘I am the ram.’ 😭 I love the comparison to the story of Abraham & Isaac and I just- *clenches fist* this part made me so emotional! What Tera was willing to do, Emmanuel’s despair and realization! The horror on his face! Ahhhh

Also- as a Mizrak/Olrox shipper- God, the pain of that scene. Olrox going from trying to deny he loves him, only to swoop in and save him, and show that bit of vulnerability, confessing he doesn’t want him to die, even frickin’ crying- only to have Mizrak emotionally wound him and storm off. And now he has to contend with the reality that he is falling for someone and it may end in a manner similar to last time. 🥺 Ahhhh I need more of these two! I need them to work things out!

Watching Outlander and SCREAMING because Willie is finally here as an adult

I'm not ready. I don't think I'll ever be ready to tell my favorite ever fictional character goodbye. And you know what? I'm okay with that. This show, this beautiful, beautiful show, ends tonight. But the world of The Owl House, the characters and the places and the love we have for them? They'll live on. They will carry on as long as the fandom does, and we're a persistent bunch. But regardless, we still have to say goodbye to the show itself tonight. A show that didn't get the room it deserved to tell the whole story. But what we got with this show, what we've seen and experienced from it and loved about it, those are still just as beautiful as if it has gotten its full time. No, I'm still not ready to say goodbye to The Owl House. But, as Lemony Snicket wrote at the end of A Series of Unfortunate Events, "If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives." So it'll have to happen anyways. But, such is life.

Ah, what the hell. I'm not saying goodbye. I'll keep rewatching and loving my favorite show, even though Disney isn't putting out any more of its story. I'll never say goodbye, because it will always be with me. With us.

I find it fascinating to witness the straight audience of any media not being able to pick up what the makers of the movie/show puts down.

It’s like when people reacted to the “You wear fine things well” scene in Our Flag Means Death with “aw, they’re such good friends” whereas the queer audience went “omg, this is happening”. We all had access to the same scene, we’d all watched the build up to that scene but the straight audience wrongly read it as friends/straight whereas the queer audience had suspected they were building up to a romance but this was the confirmation. Even the creator of the show was baffled that people were surprised that Ed and Stede fell in love. Because he thought they had made it obvious.

And as I said, we, the queer audience picked up on it. And I feel like the same thing is happening with Ted Lasso. Do I know that Ted and Trent will get together? No, I am unfortunately not a writer on Ted Lasso. But you can’t deny that there are clues pointing to it. But the straight audience barely pick up the fact that Ted and Trent like each other, be that in a platonic way or romantic way. I’ve seen several reactions to the last episode of season 2 and ONE of them included the scene where Ted reacts to Trent not being in the press room. All of them severely cut down the scene in the parking lot. One of the scenes most of us Ted/Trent truthers point to as a huge piece of evidence for it going canon. The parallel of them meeting in an empty parking lot, just like Ted and his ex-wife and Roy and Keeley. But because Ted and Trent are both men it couldn’t possibly mean anything. And Ted has an ex-wife and a kid so he can’t possibly be into men, as if there is no such thing as being bisexual. “But I’m pretty sure Trent has a family, he has a kid right?” So? He could be divorced, we also have no idea if his daughter has another dad or a mum. And the same thing applies to him, it doesn’t mean he can’t be into men (take also into account all of James Lance’s interviews, and his choice of shirt in one of them, friend of Dorothy anyone? He's the captain of this ship, we're just along for the ride tbh.)

Then we have the wonderful “I’m so not homophobic, in fact, you are homophobic because you think Ted is gay just because he likes musicals and has ‘feminine’ traits” um no… it’s the fact that he kind of acts in a way that an ally wouldn't. Yeah, he called himself an ally in that one episode. But every single person who is now out as queer who at one point considered themselves an ally because "I’m not one of them but I sure think they're neat" raise a hand 🖐️ (been there, done that. Was very into queer things before I realised I myself am one of them). What it always comes down to is "it's pandering", "it's tokenism" (having the main character on the show be queer wouldn't be fucking tokenism), "not everything has to be gay", "why can't men just be friends, there is a severe lack of male friendships on tv". And like the last one makes me go??? There are a MILLION friendships between men on TV. There are even multiple friendships between men in Ted Lasso. Beard and Ted, Ted and Higgins, Ted and Roy, the himbos and so on. Having Ted and Trent become a couple wouldn't really change anything because there are still friendships between men. They also claim that Ted is needed as the "straight without toxic masculinity" representation. As if Beard isn't right there. The man who has no problem going to an immersive show about the menstrual cycle. Has no problem with shrieking when he's surprised and so on.

I also like that if we'd get Ted and Trent together, we'd get two middle aged queer dads. Which isn't that common. It's not even super common to see people realising they're queer late in life on TV, and yet it happens every day. Because let's face it, most queer men on TV kind of look like Colin, and I don't mean that as a bad thing. And I'm looking forward to his storyline. But it's also nice seeing middle aged or old people finding themselves and being allowed to be who they are (see Ed and Stede from OFMD). Also would enjoy seeing people lose their minds when they realise they've been fooled this entire time. It'll be like Black Sails all over again.

I do not have any doubts about the fact that, had Trent or Ted been a woman and they saw Trent give up his career because of Ted's influence, they sure as hell wouldn't protest people thinking they'd become a couple. But because it's two men it's just delusional for some reason (homophobia).

What I'm saying is, it's clear that the straight audience has a hard time picking up subtext and clues that the makers are planting. Because they've never had to do that. Because they are always clearly represented. They don't have to look for minor side characters and hope that they might be queer. Because the main character is straight and most of the supporting cast too. When you've grown up with a lack of representation or with representation that is meant to be subtext, you'll learn to pick up on it. And you do look at media differently. I just wish that the straight audience could listen to us for once, without getting defensive and dancing around the fact that they are uncomfortable relating to a character that turned out to be queer.

Mr. Bates vs The Post Office (2024)

One of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history where hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly accused of theft, fraud and false accounting due to a defective IT system.

This show is all based on a true story and it will make your blood boil and make you very angry at the injustice. This is still ongoing and you will not believe how long it has taken for the innocent postmasters and postmistresses to get this level of coverage. A must watch. If you are not in Britain, it will still be worth watching if you read up a little bit on the 'Horizon Post Office Scandal'. It really is just so wrong what has happened.

When the music stopped on the second shot... (the nasty one is on the blue wedge)

And yes, of course, he made Rhett take it. And yes, of course, Rhett did not argue (even though you could see it in his face that he disagreed). Because baby gets what baby wants. 😏

Trevor, announcing the nasty shot: Salty Seamen. It's, uh, Captain Morgan and...

Link: Isn't that all semen?

Trevor: ... and a lot of salt. Uh, yeah. 💀💀💀

I'm drinkin' and I'm goin' in a circle.🎶

Mythical Society

Musical Shots- GME 2023 Pre-Show

Though the live action has mixed reviews why is it a good thing? Shouldn’t anything without Bryke a good thing (at least)? Could you also explain why you hate dont like Albert Kim? If you are to choose, who do you hate dont like more? Bryke or Kim? TIA

He was part of the team that ran Sleepy Hollow as an executive producer. I'm not over how Nicole Beharie, Orlando Jones, and the other POC actors were treated both on screen and behind the scenes, and then how Nicole was treated after she left the show, so I'm avoiding shows with Albert Kim and Clifton Campbell attached to them. Now, Nicole hasn't named names and given all the details at this point that I'm aware of, so this isn't me demanding anyone else avoid the show because of him. This is a personal preference.

the amount of shows i've started simply because a fine ass Black woman was in the cast... i will sit through multiple seasons for a great Black actress alone. Hollywood wake up.

Titan Luz is SO COOL!!!

I had a sketch of her from late April.

Been getting back into Gumball again Forgot how hilarious this show is! 😹

Season 1 finale of Wynonna Earp down.

I can’t believe how fast I got through it.

I haven’t even started The Last Of Us.

I was that invested in what I was watching.

And that finale was insane.

Willa is either dead or taken yet again. Can’t be sure whether she’ll come back or not. I hope so because she got a whole lot more interesting now we know she’s a double agent. Moral greyness matters people!

Bobo dead. Went to Hell. He won’t be returning.

And what the fuck happened to Waverly at the end?

Also Wynonna knows about WayHaught. And Waverly told her that she loved Nicole to save her life. Wow.

I want to go straight on to Season 2 but I really want to get started on The Last Of Us. I’m torn for what to do.

Watching the first episode of The Night Agent and dang- it’s sure good at capturing your attention. It’s giving me so much anxiety asdfghjkli Love all the action, though.

i am relieved to learn that other people were also terrified of jumanji as kids. i still to this day haven't finished the movie...

“Keeley being into women came out of nowhere, it’s not realistic!”

It Wix

i'd seen only the first season back when it debuted and i wasn't very involved in the fandom beyond passively reblogging stuff, but there's a whole chapter in maureen ryan's "burn it down" that's dedicated to what happened behind the scenes of sleepy hollow over the years and nicole beharie's treatment on that show and holy shit i didn't realize how bad it was.
