I Watched Dark Hearts Recently. It Was On One Of The Newer Free Streaming (legal) Sites But I Don't Know

In my Alex Summers feels tonight. Thinking about how when Sean said “he’s not going back to prison” after Darwin’s death, Alex barely reacted.

I wonder if Alex had already assumed that he’d be going back to prison if the whole mutant-CIA-team thing didn’t work out? I wonder how that affected the way he interacted with the others.

He got recruited out of prison by a government organization. The CIA basically owned him - they controlled his freedom, and now they knew he was a mutant, too. They could’ve done anything they wanted to him. Unless there was a really good conversation on the way from the prison to the compound, Alex had no reason to think that Charles or Erik or Moira would defend him from that.

And he gets put in a room full of other mutants, mostly around his age, recruited from their jobs or their homes, and they’re all having fun. I wonder if he felt bitter?

dark hearts is available for free on amazon prime, as long as you’re chill with a shit-ton of ads every ten to twenty minutes - which i was not, so i didn’t end up watching it all the way through. w&r and all superheroes must die are both available on youtube; i watched w&r on jason trost’s channel, and if you look all superheroes must die up it should be one of the first options available.

so what started out as me watching a dumb science-y spy show turned into me slowly making my way through the list of lucas till movies/shows… and he’s gotta be one of the best distress actors i’ve ever seen. i mean, he’s an incredible actor to begin with, but he just-

-does that?! you can see the shock and horror in his eyes, and that tear and the blood on his face, and the little sob he lets out when he first sees the bodies - it all seems so real, and it’s amazing that there are people who can do that.

i’ve watched wolves, obviously, and i’ve also seen crush, bravetown, the x-men movies, and i’ve kinda-sorta watched dark hearts and sins of our youth? those last two were very disquieting and i share my amazon prime account with my sister, my parents, and my grandma, so i didn’t really want them to know i was looking at them. dark hearts i want to actually watch - i wasn’t all that interested in sins of our youth to begin with - but i don’t think i will unless i can find somewhere that i don’t share with my very judgmental grandmother and that doesn’t have 150 seconds of ads every fifteen minutes :)

and then! through the talented mr. till, i found jason trost, and !!!  i love his movies! they’re so unconventional and have so much personality, and if i had money i’d abso-fucking-lutely donate to his projects. i wish vacation 8 and where it never rains had been finished, i’d kill to see them. but i have seen wet and reckless and all superheroes must die, and holy fuckin hell they were great. i’ll keep the fact that i watched w&r secret and take it to my grave, at least from my family, but i rewatch both of these movies all the time.

i’m definitely going to be talking a lot more about these shows, but also if anyone knows where to watch monster trucks, kristy, the disappointments room, the curse of downers grove, paranoia, and/or son of the south, i’d be forever grateful if you shared.

additionally, i’m certainly not new to tumblr itself, but i’m obviously very new to posting on tumblr. and for the other posts i’ve been thinking on, i need to know the etiquette of photo/gif sharing. i already know i need to credit the person who i got the photos and/or gifs from, i wouldn’t dream of doing otherwise. but am i supposed to ask before i post? do i tag them in the post, give them the credit, and be done with it? does it vary from user to user? i feel really awkward asking and don’t expect much feedback, but i’d prefer to know these things before i start posting so that i don’t hurt anyone’s feelings or offend them by seeming like i’m taking their work as free real estate.

(the above photo from wolves i screenshotted myself, which is the only reason i used it before i asked for help)

I rewatched Bravetown recently and noticed that the first time I watched it, I projected really hard onto Josh because of my own Mama Trauma™ lmao. watching it again with a clearer perspective made me realize that

1: it was weird how pushy Josh was about Mary's and Alex's issues. like, boy, you just got to town? you just met these people? curiosity is a bitch, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was grasping for problems to focus on other than his own, but geez louise.

2: I would've reacted way worse than Mary did if someone kept pressing me about my traumatic experiences and mental health, so I take back what I said about her being bitchy at least most of the way. I do still think that the way she acted towards Josh before he started prodding her was uncalled for, and I get where she was coming from with how she felt about her mom, but I think her treatment of Annie went too far sometimes. Everything else made sense though.

I do still stand by what I said about Josh being pushed to the side in his own movie. Even with my improved perspective on Josh and Mary's characters, I would've preferred for Mary's story to not have been so central. But I do have a new appreciation for her that makes watching the movie even more enjoyable now.

soooo… since no one replied or messaged me with an all caps text saying “NO DON’T DO THAT!!!!!” and none of my ancestors have come down from the sky to make me stop, I’m gonna assume it’s okay for me to use whatever pics/gifs I need to as long as I make sure to credit the source in-post. cool? cool. moving on!

I’m gonna talk about Bravetown for a minute. I watched this for the first time when I was having a really bad day, and it quickly became my go-to comfort movie. Lucas does such a good job, and as a victim of abuse myself, I was able to connect with his character Josh in a way that I don’t often do. and the rest of the cast was absolutely amazing! looking at the limited tumblr content for Bravetown, I saw a lot of praise for Josh Duhamel? the actor that plays Alex? I’ll have to check out some more of his work sometime.

I do have to say, though, that I wish they’d done things a bit differently. this isn’t really the kind of movie to get a sequel or a tv show, so there’s a lot of stuff that was left unexplored. I agree wholeheartedly with @teamimprov’s post about it as well (I would link it but I have no earthly clue how, so sorry) – Josh did kind of end up seeming like a side character in his own movie. it started being more about Mary and her family’s problems than about Josh, and while I was glad to see Mary find some closure, it felt like it came at the expense of Josh’s development. and at the expense of further angst, which is a crime that cannot be forgiven. I thrive on angst.

this is the one I mentioned in my last post! couldn’t have worded it better myself.

Bravetown thoughts…

I really like the movie Bravetown, I think Lucas Till did really well in it as well as everyone else. I like that his character Josh goes from ‘nobody has ever done anything for me so why should I do anything for anyone else’ to helping literally everybody in the town but I’ve had a problem with the ending since I first saw the movie about a year ago. I feel like at the end every other character gets to deal with their problems and find closure except Josh - the main character. Maybe the closure for him was supposed to be found through helping others but there were still so many negative aspects of his life that he never got to deal with. We never really got to see anyone help him through anything, not without it really being about the town problems. He helps the town heal from their collective losses and then the movie ends immediately. It just feels like they built up so much angst for his character, and there was so much potential, but then they never followed through. I’m just curious if anyone else felt that way too?

I caved and bought the first season on Amazon and watched it all in two days :) and I don’t have money for the rest of it :) but I love it and I laughed so hard so I’m gonna get the rest of it eventually, somehow :)

And thank you to everyone who replied!! I really appreciate it, and the only reason I haven't taken all of your suggestions yet is because I’m a paranoid bitch and need to investigate every website thoroughly before trying to access it on my laptop or phone 

y’alls… is there anywhere or anyway i can watch macgyver for free?? i am, as many are, broke, but it looks like a good show and i’ve wanted to watch it for a while. i’ve tried some websites with no success and i can’t do a subscription or anything. pls help i need a new obsession

2x12 & 2x21

both gifs belong to @geminihurt​ 

what movie/show is the one where Caleb Landry Jones looks like Durza (eragon) and Klaus Hargeeves’ (tua) lovechild?

pic from @roswelrmr

pic from @27-umbrellas​

this pic is kinda blurry bc I took a screenshot of it during an instagram edit by pejor.ist, but yeah. that’s CLJ and I don’t know what it’s from?

not to sound ungrateful, because the fics that already exist of this pairing - though they be few - are marvelous

(turns me to gold in the sunlight by TheMysteriousL, Hand in Hand in Unlovable Hand by Sevent, yes i am looking at you. there are others but i can’t remember them :((( )

but when exactly will i have the privilege of reading a malarklina (maldarklina?) fic where alina and the darkling are both ancient and powerful and in evil villain love while planning to take over the world together, and they somehow meet mal and go “yes. this one will be ours.” and make him their consort or whatever?? with angst maybe?? and some nice ~seduction to the dark side~ vibes???

i would write it myself, but none of the potential plotlines i’ve thought of have sounded very satisfying.

y’alls... is there anywhere or anyway i can watch macgyver for free?? i am, as many are, broke, but it looks like a good show and i’ve wanted to watch it for a while. i’ve tried some websites with no success and i can’t do a subscription or anything. pls help i need a new obsession
