in your circus with your monkeys. theyre wondering where tf you are.

[dearestdoodles]

listen. listen. im nowhere near a professional knitter but holy SHIT that was bad??

game of wool spoilers ahead

first of all something petty; the judges seem like gossiping highschoolers during the challenges? just overly nasty for no particular reason? if youre gonna give feedback during the challenge then you need to help more instead of saying "oh... did you do that on purpose... youre not meant to..." and leaving. that only panics the contestants (as we saw with meadow and dont worry, im getting to that elimination) and leaves them with no idea what to do next. theyre better off not giving feedback until the end of the challenge because it makes the stress of knitting in such a small amount of time even worse.

most of my issues lie with the range of skills and the attempt to make knitting approachable tbh. they said right from the beginning that the contestants are all a wide range of skill levels, some of which have very little experience, and then ON THE SECOND EPISODE they first want something both knit and crochet designed by the contestants with no pattern whatsoever, then they want intarsia with mohair, once again with the colour chart needing to be designed by the contestants!! they barely even explained what intarsia meant last episode!!

but of course, that's a team task. it makes sense its more complicated. sure. fine. except the idea of a blind team task.... dhhdhfdhf

last episode i predicted, out loud, that someone wouldnt do great in the solo task, work hard on the team task, and go home regardless. now we're onto meadow.

listen. they didnt do great on the solo task, fine. their intarsia (once again bearing in mind that as i recall they said theyve only been knitting for a year) wasnt great on the team task, fine. but the reason their teams jumper was in last place was because ailsa knitted her piece wrong. thats no shade to ailsa, we all mess up. but the judges, of course, didnt know this. they couldnt know this because the challenge was judged blind!! that means if you mess up in the solo task, it comes down to if you happen to be on the winning team, no matter how well you individually did on that team!!

this show was rushed. i guarantee you they rushed production on this in order to get it out just as bake off and celebrity traitors ended. they absolutely needed more development on this show because ultimately it feels like a bake off rip off that (pardon the pun) needed more time in the oven.

the wild thing is, im sure theres so much i forgot to mention by virtue of the fact im not as technically skilled as other people. they need to seriously reexamine the whole concept of this show if they plan to make a series 2 because this isnt working.

sorry being not normal about groundhog day the musical again

day one/one day first song of act i/finale of act i cynicism/hope phil/rita i am going to bite someone

one of the last things rita says shed do in if i had my time again is "id learn piano" and thats exactly what phil goes and does

in seeing you phil sings more slowly than rita before catching up and singing at the same time as her representing how he had to slow down and take his time, destroy himself and rebuild himself to become a better person and be with her

i am scratching at the walls and eating pillow stuffing I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DAMN MUSICAL

i think its really nice how juggling lab has basically become a new art form. no im serious, it is. weve taken a medium and created with it, even titling the pieces sometimes. genres are even emerging!! you have some people portraying usual scenarios that we recognise (realism), some pushing the idea of juggling to the extreme/odd situations (surrealism, expressionism), hell!! youve even got people trying to make it look nothing like juggling at all!! (abstract expressionism, cubism) and im sure theres so many ive missed

i genuinely believe, if people continue with this after this stops trending, we can consider it a new art movement. its delightful to see, truly.

owning a little black cat rocks, if you’re in a life situation where you can own a cat, I would recommend going to your nearest animal shelter and being like “excuse me, where do you keep your little black cats? or medium sized black cats. or large black cats. or extra large wide huge black cats.” very seasonal acquisition this time of year

[dearestdoodles]

little black cat.. rocks..

marble hornets/rosswood fans saying "i think i found the operator in this episode" and the screenshot is this

AND THEYRE RIGHT

[dearestdoodles]

no hold on. hold on im cooking.

what if alex is gonna get an alter ego/other self/whatever you wanna call it.

jay has skully, tim has masky, brian has hoodie...

what if his speech degrading is the start of him turning into a proxy like figure?

[dearestdoodles]

only one bed? pshh, so basic

only one room in the eternal night abandoned hospital dark universe where the monstrous cryptid stalking you can't get you? now thats what i want

[dearestdoodles]

corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two photos

[dearestdoodles]

being not normal

jay has been the most incurious, normal guy so far, which seems to be because he has people in his life, a support system, a grip on reality (contrasting alex but that's another analysis post)

but at the end of that last episode... he changes. hes the first to jump into that tunnel. hes getting desperate. now he and alex are on a level playing field, now both of them are isolated, both of them are losing grip on reality

as he loses his grip on reality, as his desperation increases, soon the only thing he can hold onto, the only thing that will mean anything, will be his camera, his only meaning being entirely reliant on filming what comes next...
