~OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS FOR RIDE THE CYCLONE IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT~
- VIRGIL. HE PLAYS BASS. I LOVE HIM.
(its a bit of a mess so bear with me)
- how the hell did they make Jane look headless in the intro, thats so cool
- the expressions on everyone's faces when Jane is introduced is hilarious
- OCEAN AND HER WHITE GIRL DANCE MOVES
- i hate that they got rid of Ocean's riff at the end of What The World Needs
- Karnak is the expert of giving information just a little too late
- BORTHDAY.
- "your cousin was in grade 4, he had to get his stomach pumped" is unironically funny
- GIVE JANE A HUG ISTG SHE HAS HER ARMS HELD OUT AND EVERYTHING
- i think Noel might be a masochist, just saying-
- Noel's life is honestly really sad. I feel so bad for him
- NOT HIM CALLING OCEAN A SUCCUBUS LMAO
- ngl he makes the dress work
- MISCHA??? HELLO??? THATS KINDA FRUITY
- that chair is a paid actor bc its been through so much in just this number alone
- HELP CONSTANCE TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM JANE IS SO FUNNY
- "not in my Bible, baby. BONSOIR" I am struggling so hard to keep my composure while typing

- THE PORN MUSIC. HELP ME IM DYING OUT HERE
- "im not mad at you, im just frequently disappointed" you know what I felt that
- I dont agree with them saying Mischa as the angriest boy in town, he was just mistreated and had a hard life :( he has so many nice moments with the other kids
- OCEAN AND HER FAN THAT ISNT EVEN TURNED ON-
- seeing Mischa talk abt Talia makes me so sad
- Talia is such an underrated song, this makes me wanna sob
- idk why but Ocean touching Mischa's cheek at the start of Talia did something to me I cannot explain
- the projections are making this so emotionally distressing to watch

-Ocean's white girl dance moves pt 2
- RECORDER SOLO WOOHOO

- "you knew all along I couldn't do it" "what?" "choose myself" IM DYING OUT HERE HELP
- "id gladly take my seventeen years over nothing" WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
- the sad little "democracy rocks"
- is the video meant to show Jane's life as she crosses over? or is it just showing imagery of life overall bc of the theme of this show
- It's Just a Ride after everything I just witnessed is like a punch in the gut
- they seem so happy :,)
- im in physical pain over this show.

🔥🔥 Zoya Nazyalensky unpopular opinions
okay I don't really engage with her character enough to bring out the big guns, so I'll go with the only two opinions I really have on her at all (which by the way I know fandom loves to blorbofy her so please spare me from any hate for this 😭)
my first opinion is that zoya's character arc throughout the entire nikolai duology felt ridiculously overblown - like a child playing at dolls. aside from the terrible implications lb tried to hammer home about grisha powers that actually somehow made things more racist, zoya's pov itself was incredibly obtuse. the only way to get through it is to view it as a study in unreliable narration, because otherwise you have to deal with the fact that this is just a self insert for lb at this point, and zoya's real character has practically been erased.
also I'm not even going to get into how offensive zoya's rise to power is, especially the way she keeps control.
my second unpopular opinion is that fandom has such a hate boner for the darkling that they forget everything zoya builds is off the back of the darkling's 400+ years of sacrifice. which is to say that the darkling does 99% of it, zoya takes all of that effort and claims it for herself and alina completely, and then there's a deus ex machina that saves them from the consequences of somehow ruining the most important 30% of it and making things worse for the grisha.
all in all, the nikolai duology is a performative piece of garbage where lb is basically the main character and the realism that even fantasy worlds sometimes need is gone. most of it seems to be an attempt at justifying the choices made in sab, yet with worse writing that actually destroys the already spotty lore incorporated previously and makes all of the choices seem less justified. the only way to get through it is to think zoya is hallucinating or braindead, because otherwise she looks ridiculous, and I actually like her character when she's not badly written.
send me a 🔥 for an unpopular opinion (x)

Sure, season 2 episode 2 of Yellowjackets was insane. But I couldn't help laugh at the scene with Nat and Lottie where Nat mentions Lottie's friends in purple and Lottie explains that it's not purple and that they make their own dyes lol
I love the chemistry between Juliette Lewis and Simone Kessell (I think Juliette has chemistry with all her co-stars actually). But also the contrast in characters between Natalie and Lottie is great.
I laughed and enjoyed the silliness of Lottie not liking the smoothie and discarding it later.
Christina Ricci is always a delight in the role of adult Misty. I can't wait for more citizen detective shenanigans with Iputthesickinforensics XD
What the fuck was that scene about with Natalie and Travis having sex and Travis imagining/hallucinating Lottie? I thought for a second that is was Travis having sex with Nat while thinking about Lottie? But I think it looked more like Lottie was soothing him or something.
I was surprised Taissa is now imagining Sammy. I feel bad for her already and now a car crush with Simone? Damn.
Melanie Lynskey's acting ✔👌
I can't wait for adult Van to show up. I'm actually surprised we haven't seen her frolicking around Lottie's pseudo Neverland.
I knew eating Jackie was a possibility, it was coming. But damn, the roasted dummy was so well realised it was disturbing seeing the group gathering around and start grabbing a piece. I hope I see everyone vomiting after that in the next episode.
And how nice of nature to make a perfect barbeque corpse for the starving teenagers??? I feel bad for Coach Ben ngl
