AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. APPRECIATION WEEK day five: favorite season or episode - 4x15 “Self Control”

[aless3g]

Self Control is an absolute masterpiece.

This week is Agents of SHIELD Appreciation Week and whilst I have no fancy edits of GIFs to share with you all, I can share the place this show holds in my heart. And maybe next time I’ll have some stuff ready.

Not only is AoS one of the first shows I found on my own, that I watched every week (from the UK so demanded they sorted out the darn broadcasting rights), fell in love with its characters and even wrote fic about, I have an even more personal connection to the show.

My grandma was an incredibly important and influential person in my life, as I grew up. And one of the things we shared was our love for Agents of SHIELD. We used to meet every weekend in a café in our village and one source of updates would always be whether the other had seen the latest episode. Her favourite characters were Phil and May, and I’ve always seen the nerdy scientist within me in Fitz and Simmons, which I would hope she saw too.

In complete honesty, I haven’t seen the latest series of AoS. I haven’t seen how it ends. Not because I have fears about where it might go, but because my grounding to watch it, in my relationship with my grandma isn’t here anymore. Come the right time, and the right place, I will give the last series the attention it rightfully deserves.

As a consequence, it’s a show I have a deep emotional, personal, spiritual (as far as that goes with me) connection with and to. Not to mention that it’s absolutely fantastic, each central character has their moment in the light and in the shade, and it’s a show that more than once threw out it’s own rule book and formula, including deciding “you know what, we can go to space.”

My Tumblr is pretty barren, but I felt this was something I needed to write about seeing lots of people sharing content. And yes, next time I’ll come up with something a bit more jazzy. But AoS is really special, to me and to many others I know. It will live on in me, and in my family, always. Cliché over.

If you’re “Asexual” then you shouldn’t be making sex jokes

I make sex jokes because sex is a joke

[watcher0033]

I want to rage, to erase this crushing sense of helplessness in my lungs. To snarl instead of sobbing. I wanted to be shocked at this injustice. To be surprised and treat this as a horrific incident and not just a symptom of a bigger problem.

But I've witnessed how racist bigots reacted to Floyd, the instinctive racist response and "jokes" when people identified China as the one who was at fault with the whole COVID-situation, and how I immediately thought that those "low-key" racist thoughts will escalate someday to deadly actions. I listened to some of my friends when they said that I'm exaggerating.

And I wish- I wish I was. I wished that they were right and I was wrong. But look at our bloodied history. Look at where we are now.

One step forward, eight bloody steps back.

....stay safe.

Okay so I went on Friday to see Amélie the Musical which has re-opened in Piccadilly Circus and it's like the best thing. I'm now going to back into my corner to obsess over it.

We all knew Audrey Brisson was fabulous but Chris Jared too?? And the whole cast??

And the way it's staged and all the music orchestrated so perfectly and performed seamlessly with so much enthusiasm and power?

Yeah so this is me for now, sorry people.

“I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.”

Hey team, so, I've fallen in love with Buffy, like, really bad (I know I'm 20 years too late so let me have this) - I want to hear your favourite episodes and the things I should be looking out for.

No major plot spoilers please! (Although I do know some of the main plotlines, because YouTube edits are a thing). I've just finished 1x08 I Robot You Jane.

Side note: I have even more reasons to like Anthony Head now which I didn't need, but oh well.

[aless3g]

Badly timed investment in a new series o'clock. Although we knew he was a prick for a good while, it seems, and as Agents of SHIELD is one of my most near and dear things that man holds nothing he created anymore. Dickhead.

Meanwhile, I've watched 2x12 (boy, The Dark Ages is a banger isn't it?) And I've written 15 pages of fic according to Word so please excuse my self-insert ridden ego.

Still! In a difficult headspace the joy and drama of BTVS is serving as the perfect distraction from All This (TM).

[aless3g]

Today marks the day I watched Bad Candy.

Could I love Tony Head and Giles anymore? It's going to take some beating.

Belter of an episode. I also enjoyed Halloween one from Series 2, I liked the concept.
