Shelter on Amazon prime has well written characters and an interesting story. There's a black latino guy that is THE main character, a black girl as a protagonist, a lesbian girl as a protagonist, a lovely dorky but genius guy that you are going to love a lot... there are lots of wlws involved, there is a non binary black character that's important to the plot, A LOT of plot twists, it deals with really heavy topics like abuse on children but it's also funny at times so it's not all heavy and the kids are written like actual real people and not just gen Z caricatures... beautiful relationships between the characters, beautiful scenes of platonic friendship and mutual support, lots of action and drama but in a good way, there are queer relationships actually happening on screen that are the main focus!! It has literally everything you could ever want and it's actually pretty damn good!!! GO WATCH IT NOW PLEASE 🥺

I love how everyone can agree on Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. It's a rare piece of media enjoyed by teenagers, middle aged people, and old folks, loved by cishets and the gayest/transest people you'll ever meet alike, men and women and everything else. What's the target demographic? Who the hell knows. If a demographic exists, it's a player in the brba fanbase. It's really one of those things that *truly* has something for everyone.
You like gritty crime dramas? Goofy character-driven comedy? Character studies? Tragic, soul-crushing sobfests? Uplifting stories of hope and growth and resilience? Cute romances? Tumblr sexymen? Blorbos? Gory gruesome murders? Metaphors and allegories to be dissected? Complex mysteries? Atmospheric vibefests? Awesome action? The brba cinematic universe has *all* of that and I am not exaggerating.

if you are aimlessly scrolling tumblr and want something to do...might i suggest watching Headless a Sleepy Hollow Story!!!!!!!
It is literally free to watch on youtube and is worth all the time you spend watching it and more
(then maybe when you are done you can watch shipwrecked's other works that are also amazing)

I think my favourite line from the Sandman tv show is when Calliope says 'Comparing our suffering only compounds it' because YES! YES THIS IS SO TRUE!
People compare their suffering all the time and it is SO damaging, and ultimately unhelpful and makes everything worse.

ooh what's lockwood and co about should i watch it?
WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ASK THIS HERE WE FUCKIN GO BROS
So Lockwood & Co is a netflix series based on a book series of the same name. Essentially it's about ghosts and ghost hunters, but with a twist: It's set in our time, but not our time as we know it.
Basically, around the 1970s, ghosts just like. Appeared. For no reason we've been able to figure out. People would die, and their malevolent ghost would come back, especially if they died in a particularly traumatic way. They called this The Problem. The thing about these ghosts, is that if they touch you, you die, and if you make eye contact with one for too long, you become Ghost-Locked, which basically send you into a coma. We're not sure what Ghost-Locked victims see in this coma but they always look horrified so we can assume it's not great. There seem to be 3 types of ghosts: Type Ones are what you normally picture for a ghost, Type Twos can make illusions and are more powerful, and Type Threes are incredibly rare and they can talk and communicate with certain people.
Then there are the ghost hunters. Now ghost hunters are always children, usually teens, because as you grow older you lose your Talent, your ability to sense ghosts/death. There are 3 types of Talents: Seeing, Hearing, Touching.
Another thing about this world is that there's no Internet. You can see in the theme song piles of old broken computers, and I'm not sure it's explained yet WHY the internet was never invented, but we assume it's because of The Problem somehow. But this means that the newspaper and news on tv is mainly how information gets around, and any research done has to come from a library and books.
So basically in this world there are companies that pay teens to hunt for ghosts and get rid of them. The companies are usually run by adults though, so it's fraught with awful shit, they often treat these kids like they're just tools and not like they're actual people. Often the kids don't actually get paid themselves, because their parents can control where their money gets paid to, so parents will send of their kids to ghost war and rake in the money safe at home. Capitalism god ahold of The Problem and figured out how to make hella money of of it, so a lot of these companies that are supposed to help people are actually super corrupt and awful to their employees.
Unless of course, you're Lockwood & Co
Tumblr media
These dorks look at em
50 years after the start of The Problem, Anthony Lockwood, the guy on the right, is an orphaned teenager who decided he wanted to start his own ghost hunting company, and the "Co" part of the name includes the two on the left, George Karim and Lucy Carlyle. They run their own 3 person company free from exploitation from adults, which other companies (run by adults) really really hate. Lockwood has a Seeing Talent, Lucy has a Hearing Talent, and George has a Touching Talent.
Basically, these 3 kids are hired for a job getting rid of a ghost, only they find out that this ghost is one of a woman who was murdered, and not of a guy who fell down the stairs like they thought. They look deeper and deeper into this murder mystery and keep uncovering shit that other ghost companies do NOT want them to be uncovering. Things that go beyond exploitation of kids, more murders, weird artifacts, things that might even explain the origins of The Problem itself. So Lockwood & Co decide they want to figure it all out, or die trying.
This show is heartwarming, it's funny, its mysterious, it's got ALL THE FOUND FAMILY VIBES and I think it's a real hidden gem in the piles of TV shows on Netflix. It's been in the top 10 shows on netflix for a bit, but I've never really heard anyone talk about it, I just stumbled upon it when looking for something to watch one day. All in all, yes, you should definitely watch it please please please do it, I swear to god of Netflix cancels this show I'm going to riot

Please tell me someone else has watched Dirk Gently’s Holistic detective agency. I feel like it’s a fever dream that no one knows what I’m talking about except me.

Review #1.1: Blue Eye Samurai Season 1
A continuation of my initial review. I just cannot stop thinking about this show and the symbolism within it. The parallel between Akemi and Taigen - the show beginning with Akemi searching for happiness and Taigen searching for greatness, and the show ending with Akemi searching for greatness and Taigen searching for happiness. I really enjoy Akemi's relationship with her husband. I think they are a good match. I do hope that Akemi and Taigen do not get together, I am not sure it would be beneficial for either of them, and in fact, I think it would hold them both back.
Another point I have been pondering is Mizu and her refusal to let go of anything. Her clothes are the same she's been wearing since childhood. She collects and keeps items from her past lives, from people left behind. She has never cut her hair - and this is a detail I really like, signifying how much she is holding on to.

OMG so i’ve started to watch “the artful dodger” which btw if you haven’t watched and your a fan of Lockwood and Co like me then i one hundred percent encourage you to watch it, anyways i just found out THAT WE AREN’T GETTING A SECOND SEASON OF THIS?!?!?!? WHHYY DOES EVERYTHING I LOVE ONLY GET ONE SEASON!😭
(Also TW because i didn’t know when i started watching this show and it was a bit of a jump scare is that in this show it’s like got to do with surgeries so you will see a lot of close ups to the procedures… So just a warning.)

If you liked willow (2022) and also like reading I would recommend breaking legacies by Zoe Reed (or vice versa). It's a dark high fantasy with lesbians, dragons, magic and tragedy. What more could you want?
Also it's really well planned and written characters making choices that make sense to them and an in-depth history and culture of the kingdoms.

Runaways had the most random plot ever.
Tumblr media
It was like here’s a video game nerd, goth witch, hippie rainbow alien, dumb mechanic, social justice dinosaur girl, cyborg, and a 13 yo girl with the strength of a giant.
Tumblr media
Yes, they’re all friends/dating. Yes, their parents are murderers who sacrifice a person every year to 3 ancient Gods. Yes, this series has vampires, aliens, wizards, mad scientist grandmas, dinosaurs, and every other sci-fi/fantasy trope you could think of. Yes, it seems like the authors are high. Yes, the comics are really good and you should read it.
