to all the fellow rise fans who are mentally ill over an autistic purple turtle /pos, I PRESENT:
a collection of every unique donnie battle cry and/or substitute of an expression such as omg [at least in season 1 i havent gotten around to rewatching season 2 yet]
I'm trying to sleep, but instead, I'm thinking about how at the end of both seasons, we got a scene where Carmy and Syd are staring at each other while light illuminates them (in S1, it's more Syd but still), music is playing in the background, and even though there is chaos, in these scenes it is like Syd and Carmy are the only people in the world.
Also, both scenes include Carmy renewing his commitment to her after messing up.
Are we gonna get one of these at the end of each season? If so, bring it on. I am not at all ready.
we need a character who doesn’t say anything of substance in the confessionals because they don’t want the other contestants to hold a grudge if they all come back for another season
specific themes and thesis of your veronica mars ppt GO
gahhhh molly .. good golly miss molly .. easier to describe what veronica mars ISN’T rather than try to encompass all that it (she) is !!!!!
gawd ok well. we’re obv exploring class divides and social warfare and the haves versus have nots. grief is touching foreheads w revenge and they’re holding hands, spinning in circles, melding into eo until one cannot be separated from the other. it’s witty and smart and CAMPY AS HELL (these aren’t real themes but if the met gala can do it so can i!!). and we’ve got so. so much tragedy -- this takes up like 20+ cumulative slides. and also loss and corruption .. justice and morality (@veronica “someone always has to pay” mars) and then i think i'd finish us off w my top fifteen depictions of LoVe (@logan “lives ruined, bloodshed, EPIC” echolls) LOVE !! which is ofc melded right in w that grief & revenge as the catalyst for literally every single thing that happens from minute one of the pilot on to 10 mins before the end of s4 credits roll.
tldr; my lazy girl thesis statement - in the wise words of sheriff don lamb :: veronica mars is…smarter than me. and so is the show for which she’s named <3
Btw, while I’m out here actually talking on tumblr again- the reason for all the planting/payoff flubs in GO2 (specifically the minisodes) is that (in my opinion) those minisodes were supposed to tie in with the main story ~thematically~ rather than literally. Some of the stuff Neil’s said makes me think John was given basically free reign to write those parts and then Neil tied them loosely back to the main plot but they’re ultimately supposed to just be fun one-shot adventures for Crowley and Azi, not integral parts of the main story. Each one has a pretty obvious point that informs us about our main character’s world view and relationship to each other:
Job- the dichotomy between heaven and hell is not the same as between good and evil. Crowley knows and accepts this, Aziraphale is still learning
Resurrectionist- good and evil aren’t black and white. Crowley knows and accepts this, Aziraphale is still learning
Nazi Zombies- Crowley and Aziraphale are each other’s most trusted confidant
IMO GO2 is more so a loose character study of Crowley and Aziraphale and their relationship than it is a traditional narrative which is why it feels so fanfic-y. And I think it’s understandably jarring coming from GO 1, which is a more traditional long-form story. Personally, I still enjoy both!
