Time for another rousing edition of “I couldn’t watch the episode live last night, so here’s me watching it after the fact!”
Hot damn, no fucking around with cold opens today, we jump right into Ben getting punched in the face.
Ben went down like Glass Joe.
“Hmmm, Danny clearly has a concussion and doesn’t know where he is… …eh, a cold shower should fix his head.”
“I am jacked.” was 100% ad-libbed.
“Addison, what went wrong, last time it took, like, 10 minutes for us to start the episode, why are speeding up?”
Okay, just casually dump that at the amnesiac’s feet. “Look, Ben, I know you don’t remember, but you fucked up the code before leaping, so if you wanna bitch about why you aren’t home yet, turn around and look in the mirror.”
Okay, one thing I miss from OG Quantum Leap? They listed the date in the episode’s title for every episodes. I miss having dates.
Ben, slowly learning one of the big rules of the show: The person in charge of the leaps is not your friend.
“It’s hard to believe I’d leap into someone to help them win a fight.” I’m sorry, it’s, what, the third episode? How do you not get this yet?
And Addison chokes down the urge to swear.
Man, we’re just diving into the metaphors real quick today, huh…
“Heh. I always wanted a brother.” I swear to fucking God if Ben also has a dead brother he doesn’t currently remember.
Okay, I’m only 60% convinced Addison is telling the truth about Ben being an only child.
“You’re Danny Hill. The best damn fighter in the world.” What about Kid Cody?
…the brother fixed the match, didn’t he…
The announcer guy is a discount Ron Burgundy with that mustache.
“You’re in love with the champ’s girlfriend. I now no longer feel low-key jealous about earlier.”
“Okay, look, Addison, I can get you all that boxing shit, but for fuck’s sake, BREATHE.”
“We don’t know how long this will last.” If NBC ain’t stupid, there will at least be a second season… (fingers crossed)
Addison is cruising off of two hours of sleep and vending machine snacks. She is a college student.
I wonder what Ben’s opinions are on sitcoms…
I am doubling down on my theory that the date Ben is aiming for is the date Sam first entered the Accelerator Chamber.
…okay, so Ben was born after 1977, that’s good to know. Also, get fucked Sam’s String Theory.
Ah, there’s the handwave: because of the Windows 10 Update, Ben is now off the string.
No less than 10 leaps, but probably around 20. Translation: NBC dictates how much longer Ben has to go.
“Look, dude, we both know I suck, just delay the fight.” “If we do, the promoter will fuck us over. Shut up.”
Once again, a plot is caused the real estate woes.
“Look, if you beat me up, there won’t be a match!” “Like I care!”
I love how they just let him lea-
“Saved by the baby killer!”
What
“What did you mean ‘lose the gym’?” Yes, clearly the most important part of the last two minutes.
“Look, either tell me the truth, or I lose the fight. Ball’s in your court, bitch.”
You ran out of money eight months ago? And the bank didn’t fucking foreclose on you by then?!
“Look, bro, you need to win the fight, or the mob’s taking my thumbs.” “But what if I don’t?” “I already punched two guys tonight, don’t make it three.”
“How did Ziggy miss this?!” Because you haven’t been letting her talk?
…so, does that mean Ben wants to leap into Voyager 2, or…
So, wait, is that the real reason Sam leapt into the Civil War? He fucking built up momentum like Mario doing a half-A press?
“Look, Ian, I don’t care if you are figuring out why Ben is leaping through time, he needs to know how to box!”
Let me guess. Janis is DDOSing Ziggy.
And Ian indirectly explains how Al helped Sam win his own boxing match.
“What’s wrong with my husband?” Boy howdy, you got a minute?
Daryl: The modern day Jesus
“I only showed up for exposition and sandwiches, byyyyyye…”
“Do you wanna milk that moment a little bit longer?” NBC still hasn’t given you guys more than 42 minutes a pop, man, no dice.
“You have a photographic memory.” Damn, Ben really is Sam…
Why is this Magic scene in Dutch angles?
So, basically, Ben is now watching a Punch Out LP.
“But I’m a righty, I can’t box like this.” “Tough.”
“Look, we need to take a break, you look like you are about to black out.”
Called it.
All Addison needs to do is chug Gatorade, let’s be real here.
Also called the DDOSing.
Ah. So is Beth in on what Janis is doing?
Is Janis about to beat up her mom?
So… is Janis’ evil plan… that she wanted to be the one to leap, and get Sam home?
Janis just drugged her mom, and Addison is straight up ignoring medical advice. Everyone is doing great.
Those sandwiches are probably warm and squishy now.
Uh oh, they forgot to account for the fact that Daryl would get arrested for punching people.
“We’re gonna get through this together. Now, please just calmly let these cops arrest you.”
Ben Song just straight up went ACAB, I am here for this.
“Look, either you get medical help for PTSD, or I am staying in jail forever.”
I feel like shit, because the second he said “Every time I close my eyes,” I had to fight against my brain to not think about Aerosmith.
Easiest way to be square on a bail: Violence.
If Ben loses, we riot.
Almost there, you just gotta get lucky now.
Ben got punched into a flashback, oh shit.
If they had the money, they would be blaring the “Rocky” theme right now.
So, why didn’t Ben leap yet?
“So, Ben, you might be leaping for a while.” “… … …okay, cool, but… …please take a break now and then.”
I love how they clearly dragged Magic down there to watch Real Housewives. I love this show.
Uh oh, happy times are over.
Janis just jailbroke the gummy bear handlink and is building her own Project. With blackjack. And hookers.
Meanwhile, Ben is getting hit on by a drunk guy in a bar.
Final thoughts: Not sure how I feel about Janis being outright confirmed to be the antagonist…
But besides that, this episode was great.

1 Peter: The Right Hand of God
(Christ) has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him. 1 Peter 3:22 I imagine Peter pausing after writing this sentence, perhaps straightening up from bending over the parchment on which he wrote 1 Peter, and taking a moment to remember that wonderful and yet melancholy day when his Lord rose into the air and drifted ever…

the way that one line from the new epilogue in an astarion romance is going to HAUNT me
Tumblr media
just. what a profoundly intense thing to confess to someone.
like, just these six months of newfound happiness with you exerts a force on his heart equal and in direct opposition to two centuries of endless torment, the gnawing hunger and exploitation. this flashbulb-bright fraction of his long life holds the same gravity to him as years upon years of darkness and suffering.
in all likelihood, he hasn’t even known his lover for as long as his worst memory lasted, that year sealed away to go mad from starvation and sensory deprivation, yet he still tells them this brief time has been so fundamentally and powerfully important that the weight of even that unimaginable hell is vanishingly small compared to this present he has now and the future ahead of them both.
how am i supposed to act normal about this.

honestly no wonder harrow forced ianthe to lobotomize her so she could save gideon. listen…LISTEN…if i was a secret-war-crime cult nunlet princess worshipped by my entire planet and the only person that (barely) kept me in check was my childhood nemesis—a butch a year older than me, towering over me in stature and physical prowess, and so hot it made my teeth hurt from how hard my jaw clenched in her presence, who wielded a two-handed seven-foot sword and had irritatingly huge biceps and told very lewd stupid jokes and also learned how to wield an entirely new weapon and be my bodyguard with startling accuracy in three months—only to have us finally learn to trust each other because we got invited to a magic murder mystery and then before the bubble burst i spilled the worst secret about myself that i was born because my parents murdered an entire generation and tried to Kill Her along with them and she just wouldnt die, and i told her this expecting a swift death i believed i deserved, only for her to fucking cradle me in her big butch arms and kiss me on my forehead with her soft butch mouth and just. forgive me for a shameful weight ive carried my entire life and then MAKE AN ACTUAL NECRO/CAV VOW with me despite every evil thing i have done to her……to have her tell me, in the end, bleeding and broken after putting up the most beautiful and glorious fight of her life, that she understands purpose and she understands duty and she knows loyalty more fiercely than ever now, that she knows who she is to me, that there is no her without me….to have her backed into a corner and make the ultimate sacrifice…..for me…..to recite scriptural wedding vows of eternity to me in her last wisps of soul-consciousness…..if i thought there was even a snowflake’s chance in the pyre that i could save her by turning myself into her very own locked tomb, i’d be begging ianthe tridentweirdius to crack my skull open and turn me to mush too, goddamn. i understand you harrowhark girl you don’t have to explain a thing to me. god said you couldn’t undo the lyctor’s bond bc it’d kill you. you told god and his angels that not even a lyctor’s bond could outshine the power of female spite and lesbianism and they didn’t listen. they didn’t believe you. but i heard you loud and clear and i was 17 and hormonal and hopelessly romantic not too long ago unlike those fucking dinosaurs and i’m saying it’s valid it’s what i would have done and really everyone should be thanking you for not being worse and more wretched about it, all things considered

You!! Hey you!! Are you looking for a pair of kittens? Do you live In Or Near Oklahoma? Do you wish you could listen to purring all the time? Do you want a cat that looks like an aye-aye?
long story short, we found these two kittens at the bottom of a garbage can!! I don't like to think about how they ended up in there- but we heard them crying while on a walk, and it's very lucky they were so loud! They were scared at first, but now they NEED to be snuggled at all times. Crazy how adaptable kittens are. I'd prefer to rehome them as a pair, but I'd consider adopting them out individually if that's my only option! Please IM me if you're interested in both/either of these babies, or if you have any questions at all!!

Always an experience watching the leftism leave FNAF fans when someone mentions that Scott Cawthon financially backed fascist politicians.
The switch from posting hardline leftist tweets about boycotts and signal boosts and critical takedowns of politicians and celebrities to ‘ohhh, well. everyone makes mistakes. who can blame him, listen he. he donated money to gay charities too. that makes it ok! a millionaire in his forties is allowed to have political beliefs. does it even matter? just let it go!’ is whiplash inducing. The antivaxxer celebrities have got to go, but this one horror dev who quietly handed wads of cash to antivax lawmakers? He’s chill, he can stay.
The charity thing is so funny too because suddenly utilitarian positive-negative point counting is the way to go. Maybe an abacus would help calculate the net good of donating to the Trevor Project minus donating thousands of dollars to Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. -10 points if I push a kid in a lake but +11 points if I help an old lady across the street, so I’m chill. You can’t judge me. Hey, maybe. Just don’t push a kid in the lake period. How fucking low is the bar when we’re excusing maxing out the possible dollar amount of donations to Mitch fucking McConnell. That should be like. Default you’re a bad person.

Hmmm...
The third episode of Quantum Leap involves a boxing match in the 1970s that needs to be won.
Where have I heard that before...

girlbossing too close to the sun.
#art#ive literally just been treating this game as a library simuator#i walk from bookseller to bookseller opening up all of their books#vivecs sermons are either a highlight or the point at which i stop reading#ive been trying to convince the ordinators that imitation is the highest form of flattery but it hasnt been working#let me wear your helmets please theyre so funny..#posting morrowind in 2024 isnt a cry for help but youre not wrong to be concerned.#morrowind#almalexia#vivec#im going to explain the chitin armor give me a moment#so the bonewalker nerevar on the shrines is adorable and it was only after drawing it however many times that i realized#it looked relatively close to a modified chitin armor#and so i modified chitin armor a few times and this was probably the cutest result#i also know i drew almalexia relatively pristine and untouched by years and vivec not so much but my thought process was#vivecs role as if not a favorite then the most accessible divine or the most “hands on” in a manner of speaking#acting in ways visible to the general population or actions explicitly brought to their attention#like not that almalexia isnt doing anything she is#but the dissemination of information regarding that is very different etc etc etc#anyways to a certain extent a god is the face on a shrine or in art or upon a statue or carving#but vivecs presence is interwoven with the geography of vvardenfell especially and his actions and writings with pubished materials#and the arts and culture and customs etc etc etc#so to me the face of a god you know and feel a commonality with or a god that walks alongside you is a face you would recognize#and vivec is already otherworldly looking enough#the simple mark of the years on his skin in some way grounding him in reality felt more right#that and i think the ways in which he and almalexia care about outward appearance are slightly different- they prioritize different things#and the ways they present outward power and their embodiment of their respective attributes share some similarities as they both have that#important preoccupation with physical power and physical strength to a certain degree#oh my god nobody read this i am yapping so bad.#tes
