funniest fucking storyline in 911 by FAR is michael getting bored, so he starts spying on his neighbors. athena gets worried and sends bobby over who IMMEDIATELY supports michael's insane claim that his one neighbor is up to something hinky. michael's partner comes home and suggests they rummage through the trash for evidence. despite his obviously joking bobby and michael think this is a GREAT idea. bobby gives david a lecture about how this is a legal grey area. michael sneaks into the guy's apartment and gets hit in the head. athena comes by and is outraged, even though she probably should have known that sending her dumbass husband to her dumbass ex-husband would result in smth exactly like this.

and then they're RIGHT. just completely validated. it's great. i could watch this episode forever.

Re reading the original hunger games is so funny bcus katniss can literally read haymitch's mind like what. I'm dying of thirst but haymitch hasn't sent me water, that must mean that there's some nearby!! And one kiss is one pot of broth!! Like she even acknowledges that it's strange when she's like oh to peeta this would just be a pot of broth. Haymitch will give her one look and katniss knows immediately what he means and she's right every time

Meanwhile peeta is like your dress really suits you and you look nice :) and katniss is like he's trying to kill me

In this scene, an arrow “shoots” out toward Dean from the TV screen, followed by Cas walking in and sitting down next to him. Moments later, across the bar, a Cupid (an angel often shown to use an arrow to make couples fall in love) connects two men.

Which could mean nothing.

I support Taylor Kelly and I love her to death but my girl did do all that. Like gaslight gatekeep girlboss but she diiiiid commit a serious breach of personal and professional ethics. Free my girl of course but her character exit was directly tied to her introduction demonstrating that despite her entrance into the 118’s orbit she was never going to consider them family. Hashtag girl betrayal. the last love interest with interiority and personality to exist on the show. Love you hater

one way or another - delusion, opportunism and the nature of power in send help (2026) spoilers!

my favourite thing about send help (2026) is realizing at the end that you can't trust anything you just saw.

linda is portrayed as our pov, and we operate under the assumption that we see from her is all that's happened, and are accurate representations of events, but once we reach the island, we are unwittingly watching from bradley's perspective. he sees her as this crazy survivor savant who can basically make or do anything and thus necessitating his dependence on her, and undoubtedly, she IS really a badass - she builds shelter, makes fire, hunts a fucking wild boar - but she also has access to the entire island home of a billionaire. bottled water, fruit, tools, medical supplies, high tech. without linda, bradley would have been dead in a day, but she's also the reason they aren't rescued.

liinda gaslights bradley just as she gaslights herself. this island is HER world, the world where she's the sexy one, the strong one, the survivor. the audience sees her survivor audition tape, a video she filmed in absolute earnest and sincerity. what we see on the island from linda is how she views herself.

we think linda is kind, because she's mousy and unassuming. she tells bradley she's nothing like him, that she would never do the things he does. but it's not really true, because the moment she has the opportunity, she sexually humiliates and imprisons him, delights in being cruel and giving him the same shit back. it doesn't even feel morally repugnant, because in some respect, she's punching up.

linda isn't kind. she's ambitious, she's patient, she's a strategist. ultimately, she gets everything he had: money, celebrity, respect, but is, just like nepo-baby bradley, a fraud. one way or another.

as much as i love that Linda has found her place in the Good For Her Cinematic Universe™️ can people please use more shots of her looking feral and wild, even from the ‘fixing’ scene if not from the final battle

(WARNING: Spoilers for Send Help)

Watched Send Help last night and UGH it was so satisfying in so many ways!! I love Sam Raimi’s style, it’s so over the top and campy while still telling a good story. The EYEBALLS in this movie, oh my god, dude. And I love the fact that Bradley never changed, he was the same shitty, sexist, misogynistic dick weasel underestimating Linda to the very, delicious end. Because that’s how it would actually be. He wouldn’t undergo this magnificent character arc in which he suddenly realizes how valuable Linda actually is, on and off the island, he would NEVER realize her actual worth as a human being, he would always just see her as frumpy, gross, off-putting, un-fuckable Linda from Accounting (Planning and Strategy, BRADLEY). When it looked like he was starting to come around, my husband sarcastically went “awwww, they’re falling in love” and I was like “Yeah, no. That man won’t change. Ever.” And sure as shit he didn’t. The fact that he thought his Bro Code, or his frat friendships or his daddy’s connections or all his wealth mattered for shit on a deserted island just proved that he wasn’t capable of change. He thought the island was just another boardroom in which he could push around the “subservient” woman.

The shift in power dynamics was wonderful to watch, but even better was watching the male lead respond in a real-world way to this inversion of power. So often when they do this in media, the man has this epiphany in which he realizes that GASP! Women are actually…..people?? Equals??? And they learn to value and respect women. But that’s bullshit and we all know it. A man isn’t going to suddenly respect women just because a woman proves her abilities in front of him. He’ll consider her an anomaly or an outlier and will maybe reserve some respect for her, but only on the surface. If anything, Bradley’s resentment of Linda for being so capable while he’s so helpless is a far more accurate portrayal of how a man would react in this kind of situation. Think of men coming up with apocalypse scenarios: they always want to be the hero in these situations; they never stop to consider they might be the helpless one at the mercy of someone else’s compassion and capability’s and that reality completely fucked with Bradley.

I appreciate Sam Raimi seeing the reality of this shit. Yes, he’s a male director, but him realizing that the shitty male doesn’t always deserve a redemption arc, that in fact, that would be unrealistic and would undermine the message of the movie, and then following through with it, well…..he’s got my kudos. I’m tired of seeing movies that are ostensibly aimed at women, satisfying revenge type movies, but then they fall flat because the woman realizes she just doesn’t actually have it in her to finish off the man or she realizes that he’s a human too and deserving of a second chance or blah blah blah. By the end of Send Help, as she’s standing over his kneeling, begging form with a shotgun aimed at his head, both my husband and I were chanting “shoooooot hiiiiiimmmm!!! Do it! Do it NOW! Just SHOOT HIM!! He deserves it!! COME ON JUST FUCKING SHOOT HIIIIM!!” Because Bradley, like so many other men like him, was simply beyond redemption. And while he didn’t get shot, he certainly didn’t make it out alive. So lesson learned!

And that’s an ending I can get fully behind.

if i was on that island me and linda would’ve lived happily ever after because i would never be half the whiny bitch that bradley was and i also would have fallen head over heels in love with her within the first two days

[angel-wings-and-broken-things]

listen samwena is my second favorite sam ship but i cannot get past the fact that sam would be crowley’s step dad. even worse is the fact that crowley and dean canonically fucked while dean was a demon. add the fact that crowley also made out with bobby and this family tree is starting to look like once upon a time

[midnight-sun-madness]

remember that time dean winchester "this isn't youuu babe come back to meee" cringe rom com-ed his way past heaven's mind control when the love of his life was beating him to a pulp and cas was all like oh yeah this ain't me everything I do is for you and it was, like, super gay? no just me?

i'm a firm believer and supporter of polyamory being the solution to love triangles but eddie/buck/taylor would never work because eddie hated taylor's guts

late night thoughts more on patreon

[sicksicksixx]

cas asking sam for advice about his crush on dean and sam gently trying to tell him dean doesn’t swing that way. meanwhile dean is in the next room crying about cas not paying attention to him and spending time with sam.
