REMINDER THAT FLIRTING REQUIRES INTENTION YOU LITERALLY CAN'T ACCIDENTALLY FLIRT - THE OTHER PERSON JUST

wow so this season of shadow and bone is the same in that each individual actor is killing it in embodying their character but the plot is nonsense!!!

Like we’re not going to get the not just girls soft wesper scene, jasper is outed as grisha, the darkling didn’t dramatically interrupt the sea whip hunt and there was no flying Nikolai dramatic act yet :’)

And I’m only through episode two but I guess we are skipping all the apparat religious plot which honestly was looking forward to with the creepy priest in season one, and the interesting play that would have had with Tamar and tolya…. And missing hungry for power Alina it’s like oops she has two now and almost destroyed the boat! No like in the books she looks terribly ill from the fold encounter and not using her ability, she has the scary choker she has to hide and is desperate to find another amplifier

And again it’s jarring the cuts between the two plots - six of crows should have been it’s own show stand-alone. And now it feels like we are in the crooked kingdom plot without ever getting the ice court heist or the outing of parents. Like the editing is really awkward.

I guess I’m just disappointed because the costumes and sets are PERFECT the characters have the right edge for each of them, but they’ve been dropped in a fanfic where the plot bones and the pacing that make each character and relationship feel earned and put together are missing!!!

Although I think the bit we’ve had of malina has been very well done, the Kanej is pushing it for more because .. they shouldn’t be here yet. And Nina calling Matthias the love of her life right when they meet? Opposite the book UGH

I will finish this season to see Ben Barnes go full villain but really am sad that we waited so long for this and as a fan of both series feel we realllllly got jipped

Bad Batch spoilers

‘ah, yes, it appears he has gone awol’ EVERYONE CLAPPED. THIS IS HOW WE CAN STILL GET A HAPPY ENDING FOR CODY. THIS IS HOW WE CAN STILL GET TATOOINE CODYWAN

GIVE ME A SPIN OFF SHOW ABOUT ECHO AND REX RIGHT GODDAMN NOW

i love Commander Cody. he’s gay. he’s beautiful. he’s strong. he’s insanely smart. he crushes droids with his thighs. he’s the kindest man you’ve ever met. he’s extremely competent. he puts up with more bullshit than what should be possible. he’s a feminist. he’s never met a woman.

now THIS is podracing

BONUS:

The thing I really love about Cody’s story in “The Solitary Clone” is that he reflected on what happened and his reality on his own, that his realizations were his own, nobody beat it into his head, nobody had to shake him away, Cody did that on all his own.  Cody’s ability to think for himself, to navigate his way through his own mind, was what brought him through the conditioning in his head.  That doesn’t have to negate that the Jedi’s effect on the clones was foundational and tremendous, that they helped give the clones the chance to grow into these people.  But it also is still Cody’s own damn work on his own damn mind that brought him to where he was. The thing I really don’t love about Cody’s story in “The Solitary Clone” is that he could have been replaced with just about any other character and it would have had nearly as much impact, because this was a story about Crosshair, not about Cody.  We never even see Cody’s realization or the moment he leaves, Cody was set dressing for Crosshair’s story, and wound up being a cameo more than actually getting a story. I’m not opposed to every single episode of the show having a cameo–even if I think they’re relying too heavily on them to draw in viewers and thus undercutting the idea that these characters might actually get a hefty story being told about them, instead of having it done in tiny snippets here and there.  But that’s my frustration with Cody’s story, that what’s there isn’t bad, but because he’s a cameo in someone else’s story, his story is told in the background and we only see half of it.  Cody deserves better than to have his story told that way.

aftg is a slow burn romance but only the second time you read it. the first time you read it it’s this dark action book about violent sports and serial killers and the mafia and then ‘that doesn’t mean i wouldn’t blow you’ hits like a slap in the face.

I could barely handle the few photos of Kit and Jack so far
