Bi awakening: Jared and Miss Parker from The Pretender.

[vimesbootstheory]

miss parker is so loud about jarod's inexperience turning her on, what a character choice

[stonesense]

i understand why the ‘grizzled loner who slowly melts & improves their outlook on life when forced to take care of a kid’ trope is a male exclusive role, bc the optics of a grizzled loner woman healing by becoming a mother are maybe not so good, but every time i think abt a hypothetical female version of that trope i black out instantly. could we maybe just do it one time and all agree to be cool about it

I should do a rewatch on The Pretender and Psych, and see how much commonality there is there.

Preternaturally smart guys solving mysteries on a weekly basis while trying to avoid blowing their covers? Sure, lets go!

finally got time to draw again, so of course I had to torture myself by going back to trying to draw likenesses

character is Jarod from The Pretender (I’ve been on a 90s shows streak recently) don’t be fooled by his death stare, he’s just a silly goober.

[anarchypumpkincowboy]

i really like how when asked directly about things Jarod like doesn’t lie like he’ll definitely omit several things and he does lie for the con and everything but he’ll tell inconspicuous truths when he gets asked about things

[anarchypumpkincowboy]

HE SENT HER THE RECORDING OF HER MOTHER’S MURDER AND THE PAINTING HE’D BEEN WORKING ON WAS OF CHILD HER CRYING ON THAT DAY OH MY GOD

[anarchypumpkincowboy]

okay i am really really enjoying this show

like genius guy who was made into an experiment as a child from a fucked up secret organization finally escapes and uses his genius to help folk while he’s trying to figure out who he is??? and it’s from the 90’s so it’s got like that really nice comfort video quality?? incredible show truly incredible

Hello evil hot woman with mommy and daddy issues

God. Miss Parker and Shiv Roy in THEE most toxic yuri lesbian-until-graduation college situationship fueled entirely by daddy issues and cunt...

Thinking about how it's common for the protagonist to be the leader of a heroic trio or band contrasting with a lone(ly) antagonist, but in The Pretender, it's the lone hero vs the villainous trio where the main antagonist ends up having that support structure that the protagonist lacks.

I am thinking about Miss Parker in the hospital with Broots holding her hand and Sydney talking to doctors and even her FATHER who is the most HORRIBLE MAN comes to see her while Jarod is alone and freezing to death in the wilderness, with only the ghost that he and Miss Parker share to keep him company. Well, that and the wolf.

And the way Sydney (and Broots) help Jarod get found has so much in common with a villain being helped by a hero! But it's reversed!!

Watching the show “the pretender” with my parents and it strikes me that this man is just the 90s network tvs response to Barbie. He has every job… can do heart surgery… be an astronaut… detective… doll man.

[deliciousdietdrpepper]

The pretenders/Barbie fandom please understand my vision. They are the same.

Mr. Cox be looking at people like this and saying things like "Cleanliness is Truth".

[twilightcunt]

You wanna talk about serving cunt? Miss Parker from The Pretender was doing it every scene. Every single second. There is no one else. She is the blueprint.

[cobalt-knave]

I think that Miss Parker from The Pretender would be so popular on here. She's mean. She's iconic. She's evil. She wants love and happiness. She hunts people for sport (or for her dad technically). She has a pet bunny. She's beautiful. She's tired of being a pawn in a game. She's a villain. She grew up with the person she's hunting. She has an ulcer. She deserves love and happiness. She wears silk shirts.
