What Is A Place Like Me Doing In A Girl Like This

Welcome to my Geek-Out Corner. Here's where I geek-out about all the things that interest me. I like stories and I like sharing my opinions about stories. Sometimes they're positive, sometimes they're not so positive. I am a rampant multishipper and I make no apologies. Also, I love having healthy discussions. If you like discussing stories and just in general geeking out about fandom stuff, this is the place for you. Current Obsessions: The Legend of Vox Machina/Critical Role, MIschief Theatre/Show Goes Wrong Series (aka Max and Sandra are the cutest!

I recently did a complete re-watch of The Thundermans including the movie and Thundermans Undercover and had a pretty good time. The movie was fun and Undercover definitely had its moments even if it did feel like Max and Phoebe's relationship backslid a little.

I last watched the show about 5 years ago and my posts from back then started to get a resurgence lately in my notifications so I knew I needed to revisit this show I loved so much upon my first viewing. And I guess I finished just in time since the next movie is coming out shortly. But knowing what the next movie is about, I really want to skip it. Thundermans Civil War style is not something I'm excited for. The superhero team fighting against each other is probably my least favorite trope in the superhero genre. Didn't like it when the MCU did it, never saw Batman v Superman and I highly doubt I'll like this storyline being used here, Nickelodeon is already pretty shaky sometimes with its writing which was especially evident during Undercover so I have really no faith they can pull off this storyline that employs a trope I already hate. And what I dislike even more, to a certain extent, we've already seen this kind of story with Max and Phoebe. I don't know, it just seems like they're kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel here and only writing whats comfortable to them instead of breaking new territory. It's a means to create cheap, manufactured drama that Im not interested in seeing. BUT if the movie does it well and they actually use the story to talk about the very prevalent problems of the competitive nature of the twins and Barb and Hanks terrible parenting skills that led to that competitive nature, I'll gladly eat my words. I'll probably watch the movie, but there is probably going to be a lot of fast-forwarding to get through this slog of manufactured drama of a Civil War esque storyline.

Anyways, if anyone's out there, thanks for listening to my rant.

these scenes being cut from the disney+ release of the show is actually so evil. they feel like the climax to me, the reveal of adam & chase's true relationship and how much they actually care for each other--they just have no idea how to communicate it

this is a simple 4am scrap edit put together in capcut bc i decided to download it for a bit of fun

And I just started watching this show for the first time and I saw this episode a few days ago and these missing scenes makes so much more sense now. Because the scene where they found what they thought was Chase's body just felt very weird, now knowing that they cut a good chunk of the scene out (and probably the best part too) makes the scene work so much better! And then afterwards, at the end of the episode, I had thought it felt like a scene was missing to deal with the siblings' emotional whiplash of thinking they lost Chase and then finding out they didn't lose Chase. To know that there is a scene that addresses it again makes the episode work so much better. The emotional element in this episode I think is so much stronger than the plot element so it's beyond me why this episode was cut so weirdly, like why would you take these scenes out? Especially since it seems like the initial cut of the episode when it aired included these scenes. It's so weird Disney+ cut it this way for streaming.

Psych is such a weird show bc in a lot of ways it's constantly asking, "can you forgive your father? even tho he could never forgive you, can you forgive him?" and the thing he could never forgive you for was not meeting his exact very specific expectations. And the answer keeps being yes you can, because not doing so is worse. You tried and it hurt more. You tried and it made you more miserable. You forgive him because he's all you have most of the time, and its somehow less complicated than whatever you have going on with your mom. You can forgive him but you can't forget, and then one day he realizes that he was wrong and there was nothing he should have taken as a slight about you, but you both just never acknowledge this paradigm shift in your relationship bc it'd be more awkward then fighting again for the millionth time. So things get better but you never say why, you never acknowledge it unless forced and somehow you forgive him more than your mom who you were never even half as mad at.

But also it's about breaking and entering into sea world and making a janitor think you killed your best friend so you can escape, it's about gaslighting your coworkers into thinking you are the dumbest man alive, it's about only closing a mystery when it's as funnt as possible and making sure everyone else around you is as baffled as possible. It's about childhood and nostalgia and growing up in the most chaotic way you can. It's about people being killed with a t-rex skull, it's about slapstick and committing to the bit and being the silliest messiest bisexual on tv in 2006-2014.

It's about a son and his father and forgiveness and somehow also they are in a circus tent trying to find out why a corpse was launched from a cannon. And also there's an extended musical episode that makes it onto my personal Spotify year after year

Just updated my Duolingo app and I gotta say, I find this new icon very disturbing. I get what they're doing with the third eye design and all, but this owl for sure will be starring in my nightmares.

Currently watching Riverdale right now. I saw a video essay on the show earlier this week and I thought, what the heck, why not, I'm in the mood for trash let's get back into this. I had previously watched season 1 when it first came out but didn't really continue after that because I heard how completely bat shit insane and off the rails it gets. I'm not expecting anything amazing from this show now because I know that it eventually devolved within a few seasons and turned into such an unwatchable slog fest that it's now become a master class example of how to not write shows.

But I do remember thinking when I saw season 1 the first time, yeah, this show's weird but not unwatchable. It has some pretty terrible acting, some questionable storylines, characterization is nonsensical to say the least and I know it only goes downhill from here. But season 1 has a charm to it, at least in the sense that the show knew enough about what it was to not take itself too seriously, something that I know changes after season 1. But hey, at least I know what to expect going into this trainwreck of a show. I'll enjoy season 1 for what it is and for seasons 2-7, I'll do what the show couldn't and refuse to take them seriously.

And I completely forgot about this, but omg, season 1 Bughead are so freaking cute, I love them, I love their dynamic, I know the relationship goes downhill in later seasons but I'll enjoy the fun of the ship in season 1 at least.

Something I really love about Red One is Chris Evan's face...just kidding, I mean it's a very pretty face don't get me wrong, I would watch just about any movie of his just so I could look at his face, lol. But in seriousness, I love Chris Evan's facial reactions to all the craziness going on around him in this movie. So often in movies like this where you have this fantastical world and you bring in someone from the "normie" world as it were, they tend to go through it very well-adjusted like they're used to seeing crazy shit every day (even though they haven't). Not with Jack O'Malley though. From start to finish, he is just like, " Holy crap, what world have I stepped into, this is insane, how do I exist and keep my self safe in this world" but also, he's very much like, "this world may be scary and insane but kind of awesome too". I just love how his character embodies the fish out of water trope but actually portrays it very realistically with an equal amount, fear, shock, awe and excitement.

You are forced to live in only one type of biome for the rest of your life, how do you react? You can leave and visit other countries or places, but only if they are in the same biome:

Spin the wheel to find out your biome.

Your Reaction:

Heck yes! I have always wanted to live in this kind of area!

Alright. Not the dream, but very nice.

Ok. Not at all what I was hoping for, but it could be worse.

Oh this sucks. I am going to hate this so so so much.

This is like telling me I have to live in hell. Please please please NO

This weekend, I watched Red One and you know what, I'm kind of obsessed with it. Apparently, it isn't well-received by critics but you know, in this case, I say screw the critics. They watch far too many movies sometimes and I think that at worst, it leaves them very jaded and unable to enjoy things, or at best they have a subconscious bias that they apply to all films based on films they like or specialize in. This movie is a fun little action-adventure jaunt into the Santa Claus mythos that, despite its flaws, I don't mind taking up residence in my brain. It's basically everything I want when I settle in for an action-adventure story ride. Fun, light-hearted, ridiculous and knows that it's ridiculous with just a little bit of drama to tie it together to make you care about the characters. I could see how it might be a little confusing to critics because it's a ridiculous movie played straight but I also think that's kind of the point. Action-adventure films are always a little bit ridiculous and so often play themselves too seriously sometimes to the film's detriment. So I think the decision to play this film straight in its ridiculousness was a very intentional decision and in its own way is a form of satire poking its own fun at the genre. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it even broke even in the box office, so we probably won't get a sequel sadly. Which is too bad because I feel like it has a really good premise for making sequels that pertain to a lot of different holidays and I think that could be fun to explore. And also, I need to know if Chris Evan's character's absent father is in any way connected to the mythological world. It's possible he just has a dead beat dad but I am a total sucker for dad drama and I would eat that shit right up if we found out his dad is some type of mythological creature.

Maybe this is just the extrovert in me talking, but this trope of rich dudes buying out whole places so that they can have the restaurant or zoo, in this case, to themselves is just kind of weird. I like being surrounded by other people. Yeah, sure, this is definitely my extroversion talking. When I'm in groups of people I can feel their energy flowing into me, and it's always positive, so the idea of going to a public place and having it be completely empty just doesn't sound like fun at all.

[bluephoenixdruidicprincess]

I see this trope a lot in romance and it always weirds me out. Like someone buys out a whole restaurant just to have a date with me, my first inclination is not going to be, "oh that's so romantic, he's my true soulmate". It's going to be instead, "wow this guy ruined other people's plans and dates just for this, he has no regard for other people, he's kind of a selfish douche, probably not my soulmate".

Watching Twin Peaks for the first time and it's definitely an experience to be sure. It's like living in a fever dream after just having gotten high off of something, everything makes sense and doesn't make sense all at the same time. It makes you want to cry and laugh and you have no idea which one you're going to do at any given moment. It's fun and wacky and emotionally jarring and insane. You go from scene to scene never knowing what's going to pop up next or what emotion is going to be elicited next. You really go through this show running the gambit of emotions and I'm not entirely certain I'll be 100% sane once I'm finished.
