Just gonna take a moment to shoutout the WOC lead of The Rookie, Melissa O’Neil, for breaking barriers and being who she is. 👏🫶

This hasn't received much attention, but it’s worth noting that Melissa took the initiative to share about The Rookie’s NAMIC nomination and shed light on the significance of the NAMIC Vision Awards through a detailed IG story. This underscores her commitment to promoting ethnic diversity in media and ensuring that it receives the recognition it deserves! Way to go, Mel!

Percy’s face when Sally mentioned Grover playing a role in getting him kicked out of school…

The way his face scrunches up really tight before relaxing? That’s anger.

But not the kind of anger we see in him in the last episode.

This is the kind of anger that makes you cry. The kind that’s underpinned by embarrassment and hurt and feeling like you’ve been treated unfairly.

Percy knows he didn’t push Nancy into the fountain and he thought that, if anyone would have his back, it was going to be Grover. And then he didn’t. And it’s unfair to Percy. It’s Wrong. Because no one believes him, apparently not even his best friend.

And the way he closes his eyes and takes a really deep breath? That’s a tactic that’s literally recommended to stop yourself from crying when you’re angry. It allows your body to “catch up” with your mind.

What do you wanna bet that Percy learned that from a school counselor?

the adhd kids missing the deadline but saving the day anyway is so personal to me actually

Alastor and Vox backstory be like:

I really need to stress how groundbreaking Martha Jones literally is. She made her mark as the first official onscreen Black Doctor Who companion, and quite literally paved the way for future Black and other companions of colour to star on the show, like Bill Potts, Yasmin Khan, and Ryan Sinclair. And these characters would also make Doctor Who history in their own ways with Bill being the first onscreen Black lesbian companion, Yasmin being the first onscreen South Asian companion, and Ryan being the first onscreen Black companion with a disability.

Marth Jones' power? Unparalleled.

People whine about others disliking the fact that they made Ariel black, but I see it like this. It's fucking tacky, to take original movies and just make the MC black, if they weren't already. When we have all these talented ass artists and actors out here who make original black content or who are genuine black actors, going to waste. Instead of turning originals woke, for tacky representation, how about you make your OWN.

Ace Alastor week day 5, how tf did i even finish it in one evening, I don't know i'm just glad i didn't need to skip any day

they seem like pretty good friends, it would be a shame if one of them turned out to be completely obsessed with the other

I like how in this era of excellent queer TV to replace the SuperWhoLock era, each light hearted comedy show of the trio has a dark queer mirror. Black Sails is to Our Flag Means Death, as Interview With The Vampire is to What We Do In The Shadows, just as The Sandman is to Good Omens.

I do find it odd how in each pairing its the supposed light hearted comedy show that has emotionally devastated its audience so far though...

MELISSA O'NEIL ANSWERED MY QUESTION (with a twist). I AM NOT OKAY.

There’s an underlying bitterness in Percy’s tone in this scene, despite the fact that he’s making a “joke,” that couples with the way he doesn’t look at his mom while he says it but kind of just stares distantly. And also the way his eyebrows go up and down in a quick, wry — and almost judgmental, even — way.

This one singular line hit me so hard as a neurodivergent person because it’s all you need to see the way that Percy feels about his own inability to do “basic” things, like pay attention. He’s making a joke that’s also a dig at himself for “screwing up” in some way and it felt so relatable.

And the fact that it’s basically setting up him the next scene when he tells his mom that he thinks there’s something “broken” in his brain?

It hurt in all the best ways that seeing an accurate representation of yourself in a series that’s been your comfort series since the moment you picked it up 🥲

you tommy apologists should rethink long and hard, how can you be happy that he kissed buck? you literally have buddie shipper in your bio! this is not a win

lmao anyway <3 canon bi buck

the only correct symbol

Alastor: *happily aroace and minding his own business*

Vox and his raging one-sided hate boner:
