Clearly none of those EPs are Melissa, which is ironic because that's who fans have faith in. The others are responsible for the low numbers and criticism. Again. Hit show? Or happy man babies? They can't have it both ways. It's painfully obvious who the fans would prefer to have. They need to make that happen because fans are the ones who pay their salaries. Don't make the same mistakes AGAIN.

Moons agonizing, bloodcurdling scream for his brother paired with the maniacally, insane laughter of Eclipse knowing he was right has got to be one of the most TERRIFYING things I’ve ever fucking heard in this damn show
literal fear for Suns safety struck me like a spear when that happened..
a round of a fucking applause for davis and reed man

imagine being Billy Whalen's mom like your son is the reigning champion of a quiz show when he's 15 until one day he's caught cheating, then he disappears. and when he turns up again he's missing an eye and has a robot hand and by the time you've heard about this he's moved in with the host of the quiz show who it turns out was the one who cheated for him by rigging the game and now they've been together for 20 years and you don't know how to re-establish a functioning relationship with him because you think he's scared you'll be homophobic so to signal to him that you support him and this quiz show host you send them furniture and dishware and then AND THEN they come to New York and move in with you and the whole time you have to just be normal about it

I’m once again irrationally mad about how people complain about the magic metaphors in buffy work (the whole dark magic=addiction, wicca = gay shit thing).
Like I cannot express how frustrating it is to see people bitching about how things like Dark Willow “don’t make sense” because “magic/Wicca was a originally metaphor for queerness“ or whatever as tho the first two major episodes in the series where magic was used (1x3 “Witch” and 2x8 “Dark Ages” ) weren’t all about the dark/inappropriate/destructive/abusive use of magic.
People loooooooveeeeee Giles’ past as Ripper and delight over things like “Band Candy” where we see him go Full Ripper but cannot for the life of them seem to remember that we first even LEARNED ABOUT THAT PART OF HIM IN DARK AGES WHERE HE TALKED ABOUT BASICALLY MAGICALLY PARTYING SO HARD HIS FRIEND DIED. THIS IS OUR FIRST MAJOR CHARACTER EPISODE THAT’S GOT MAGIC AS A MAIN FOCAL ELEMENT! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL METAPHOR!
The queerness is still kinda baked in there because of the Ethan Of It All but it’s first and foremost a metaphor about like, all the shit that classically leads to substance abuse and the worst outcomes that can come from it. Willow and Tara are an example of the “good” side of magic ( I’ll say Jenny is also in this section but they do so fucking little w/ her technopagan-ness so). They’re also pretty explicitly said to be “Wiccans” which I also have some issues with because of how Wicca is portrayed/talked about in the show (the Silver RavenWolf energy of it all is so galling). But like, that’s literally a whole fucking different subsection/practice of witchcraft/magic. This is like getting mad at water polo for muddling the metaphor of jet skiing. Like yes, they both are water sports but I think you’ll that they’re not the same fucking one and work completely differently.
Magic is not just 1 set of spells and rituals, it’s a multifaceted, multilayered, multi-pathed thing. With Giles we see how it can go Very Wrong and with Willow and Tara in S4-5 we see how it can go Very Right (and how it can be used to help get the Gay in the show around the Fox Censors). Willow increasingly having issues with magic/substance abuse is NOT a mixed metaphor/bad writing/ruining the gay metaphor and implying gays are bad. It’s USING THE OTHER ALREADY ESTABLISHED MAGIC METAPHOR AS PART OF HER CHARACTER ARC. WILLOW CAN BE QUEER AND ALSO HAVE A SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUE! GILES ARGUABLY DID IT FIRST ANYWAY (again, the Ethan Of It All)!
Willow has ALWAYS been insecure, a lil bit of a control freak, someone who wants to be HER REAL SELF and also someone TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Like she wants to be Willow but only if it’s a Willow who’s better/cooler/stronger/prettier etc. Someone who’s not the “pathetic loser” she still sees herself as even in season 6 and hasn’t totally shaken in season 7. These desires both to feel more In Control/Better and Not Yourself are classic reasons people will turn to substance abuse. For Willow is it MUCH easier to do a wizard spell to “fix” a problem than it is to like, fucking confront her issues of self-loathing and self-worth and like.... go to therapy. And that’s what gets her in trouble just like it has for so many others before her. Like in many ways Dark/Addict Willow is like seeing Giles’ Ripper Era live and on screen plus maybe a lil bit on steroids.
Magic can be used as part of more than 1 metaphor and the substance abuse metaphor came first. Stop pretending like it never existed in the show until season 6.

you know, I changed my mind, Quaritch always loved spider, form the beginning, any attempts to make it seem like he was using him was a lie and a front, he forced himself to hurt lauder e cause he was scared of getting attached, you wanna know how I know.
the look, the look he gave spider when he figured out who he was. the pure pain and confusion and love on his face when he recognizes his son, even if this is his only knew memory of him in 16 years (his only memories of spider are of when he was a baby and being abused by of Quaritch who are 2 different people}) he knew that was his baby, the baby his original self hurt.
I know because when he hears his sins screams, he can't stand it, it hurts him (and we know this guy has a tolerance for human/na'vi suffering) and he puts a stop to it, quickly.
the first words they exchange outside of the kidnapping (as father and son) is him apologizing for what his original self did. he attempts to comfort him, to make him feel safe.
he cared for this kid, he loved him, he protected him like no one had before, I will stand by that.

As someone who is knee deep into an Emily centric fic that delves into what her time with Benny was like (with heavy emphasis on them learning to get along and learning from each other), I would love to hear your thoughts on what you personally think happened between them!
Honestly I feel like it’s pretty cut n dry.
Benny probably stopped by the fort a lot when he would run around the Mojave figuring out how to take down House and take over Vegas. Emily was likely the most technologically savvy and Benny became interested in using that. A gal who knows her way around a wire is just what he needs! She likely wasn’t a great medic, handling more of the followers equipment but Benny would insist on being treated by her. He likely anguished about House and how much better the Strip could be for the people. It was a lure and no matter how smart Emily was, she took the bait.
One of my pet peeves is Benny’s canonical CH stats. Like Benny is an asshole but he cons and manipulates a lot of people, including Emily. He gets away with a lot of it unscathed too! I like to think he can be very charismatic and charming, it’s a means to an end to him tho, he doesn’t really get anything out of being a flirt all the time. Emily admits she wasn’t drunk when she was seduced by him and so I like the idea they made Yes-Man and Benny put on the charm that some how makes him irresistible and they got down and dirty. I doubt he would try to give her a reason to be distrustful as they share a very common goal: Independence for Vegas. I think it’s more Emily got outplayed. She thought she got a good in with the Strip for the Followers and a good friend with benefits too. Then Benny acted like himself and screwed her over. Likely cause she started making plans that didn’t focus on the Chairmen and had a lot looser lips about what they’d been up to.
I find it interesting Benny only refers to her as a “friend” when he explains how he got Yes-Man reprogrammed and I don’t know if it’s not to implicate her if he got caught or you snitched or he has a twinge of guilt about throwing her out. She was trying to be genuinely helpful after all.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen (it's 6:30 pm) guess who's here to overnalayze episode 1 of season 4 of scissor seven that's right ME
Okay okay I think this might actually be my new favorite episode in the series and I love it so much and I was thinking about it last night and talking about it to my friend this morning and I have THINGS!! TO SAY!!! about it
First off: this isn't as important but did anyone else realize that Blackbird was wrong about Seven's ambushes?
Tumblr media
Like when Seven initially jumps for Blackbird he grabs Seven's sword and says this but
Tumblr media
he's instantly taken off guard five fucking seconds later? And like yeah, this was something Seven could do cause of the Thousand Demon Daggers, but by all means the fact Seven kept DIRECT eye contact with him and took him off guard to make him drop Thirteen makes it seem Seven does think and act faster than Blackbird does. In fact Blackbird fights Seven the exact same way he did Thirteen, he drags both of them out of the clearing and into the forest - though he throttled Seven around A LOT harder - but Seven didn't lose track of Blackbird the way Thirteen did.
Side by side look at how much longer it took Thirteen to get out of his grip and recover - I know Blackbird is arguably more in his element when he's fighting Thirteen but just their reaction times alone, Seven's able to keep up with Blackbird running around him and Thirteen is struggling to keep sight of him. Their main difference is Seven's got much better reaction time and is able to keep up, but he's horrible at actually avoiding getting hit most times. He's so much more aggressive in this fight but also takes twice the beating, Thirteen spends the first half of this fight getting her sides clipped by Blackbird's whip and Seven literally almost gets his whole shoulder ripped out. Seven seems to know what to do a lot quicker and thinks fast compared to Thirteen. Especially since Seven had the opportunity to and realized he could use the light against Blackbird.
Tumblr media
And as he does, I mean initially Blackbird can't even react quick enough, given the distance between them it's surprising Seven got this far,
Tumblr media
And he changes direction faster than Blackbird can even react to his initial movement!
Tumblr media
Blackbird genuinely loses sight of Seven here! And it's not like he couldn't seen Seven, he was perfectly visible and neither of them were facing the sunlight here, but Seven is just faster than Blackbird can react here
Tumblr media
And Seven had time to wait here! Of course Blackbird doesn't realize what Seven is doing and turns around, but if Seven had been going to hit Blackbird from behind he would've! Seven spends a solid second or so longer here before Blackbird actually turns around, and Seven is able to move fast enough to blind Blackbird!
SECONDLY and I've actually seen nobody talk about this but Blackbird has his own art style. Not just like, for his flashbacks. Blackbird has his own fucking art style for when he's in control of the fight. And it makes me so mentally ill
I think I've mentioned before early on Scissor Seven is a little inconsistent art style wise, but definitely by the end of season 3 you can really tell they've gotten comfortable with and have settled on a style they like and work well with. And it's absolutely beautiful, which is why I was really confused when this scene was in the trailer:
Tumblr media
because this is so clearly not their normal art style. To be specific- the line art is really intentionally sketchy and messy, you can evne tell they used a different brush than they normally do for coloring and line art, and the coloring and shading really has a 'colored sketch' look about it. And it's not bad, I love it! But it's so obviously different from the normal style and in the trailers I was wondering if the style was going to change again, but this is the only time it happens. And I realized why: this is an art style specifically for when Blackbird is in control. Let's go through this fight from this frame:
Tumblr media
the moment Thirteen is dropped. So I'm going to go through this by the most important moves or actions they take:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So obviously Blackbird has a real solid grip on Seven here, but also noticeably I feel like Seven doesn't try to do anything with his sword as he's dragged,
Tumblr media
But notice despite how far or close they are, every frame is noticeably clear and really just true to the art style this show takes:
Tumblr media
but also this sketchy texture and style is a consistent motif in Blackbrid, even if the rest of the style is still how it normally looks,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now look at the coloring on Blackbird-
Tumblr media
and THEN we switch to this sketchy style, which is NOTICEABLY the same as Blackbird's flashbacks but just colored with clearer line art.
Tumblr media
This background is still clear but notice even their smear frames are drawn like this, and if you've seen some of my other post this isn't how they normally draw smears, let alone switching brushes and adjusting the entire color palette for it, and this is where the worst part of the fight for Seven starts! This is where he gets hurt!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which , these genuinely look like the deepest cuts Seven has gotten in a while- and now watch these frames:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOTICEABLE. FUCKING. DIFFERENCE. The second, the second Seven realizes that he has an opprotunity here and that he can use the light against Blackbird, the art style turns back to normal!
Tumblr media
I mean as this fight ends and Blackbird DIES we don't see this again outside of his flashback! The usual sketchy parts of his body change to another texture!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I just, it makes me so happy that not only have they found an art style they like, and are comfortable with, but are so good with it to a point that they can play with the art style now for story telling elements! And I mean even as Blackbird screams and tries to kill Seven the art style stays, because even if Blackbird can't feel it and we don't know yet, he has definitively lost this battle and this will drain the rest of his energy and kill him before it will kill Seven!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This bird flying away- and Blackbird's last flashback- is the last we see of this art style.
Tumblr media
and I just. RAAAAAAH I love this episode. I feel like I could go on more and I might later - I still really wanna know if there's a reason why they put so much emphasis into Seven switching hands when he's using the sword, given he's ambidextrous and it's never been focused on before, I think it might be because he's not using his scissors even though they're near but I'm not really sure. I can't tell if using his scissors over his sword would be more draining given his last attempt at them in season 3 knocked him out cold. GOD this show makes me so fuckin mentally ill
