Michael pissed someone off at the boardwalk. he hears tapping on his bedroom window, he looks over and sees this:

i think when star 1st turned it was honestly.fun. she was having fun. she could see things she couldnt see before.she could touch the clouds if she desired. she finally wasnt tired all the time and had a comfortable place to sleep. the lost boys made her feel so welcome. scene where theyre practicing and star is just watching at 1st until david grabs her and she sings along with him and theyre standing too close. paul jokes that they should just kiss already and for once star felt like she had an actual family.then the hunger started

Okay. Finally wrangled my thoughts enough to give the people semi-coherent show notes (8/13, slash show!). I splurged and treated myself to an Orchestra K seat, so I had a much much better view than any of the other tunes I’ve seen it. This got long quick and I have sooo many thoughts. It’s also out of order bc I just wrote down whatever came to my mind first lol. Have fun:

First up, everyone was having so much fun w Slash. Ali was beaming, LJ was having the time of his life up in the ladder, Maria went over and danced w him a bit. Everyone was hyped as hell. And ofc Slash did amazing, it was so so cool getting to see him just do his thing. Fun fact: he was sitting in my row! I wasn’t directly next to him (I was like five seats away), but he did watch the show from the audience after performing which was pretty cool.

So many opt ups and riffs! Everyone was having such a great fun time vocally and it was beautiful. Like I didn’t even bite them all down bc pretty much every song, someone was doing something fun vocally.

Ali was on some crack. David was such a creature tonight it was amazing. Ali played him so annoyed at Michael, which was amazing. David was so pissed at everything Michael did, openly mocking him w the boys. That all changed when Michael punched him though. This pretty much confirms to me that David was always planning on eating Michael, even after the bike race, and that it was only him throwing that punch that changed things. Expect more on this soon because I have Thoughts. Besides that, David was also super sad. Like pretty much the entire time they were in the ironworks, he was just staring at nothing or stumbling around. Like ik Ali does the little “flashback” but when the boys talk about the fire, but David was out of it for pretty much the entire scene, especially after Michael drank. Fascinating. That might’ve also been by favorite “I like you MICHAEL” delivery yet. After the initial punch, David just stood there for a bit eyes rolled back doing this weird moan/grown for a solid few beats, then he lurched forwards towards Michael. He was very growly and twitchy and just weird tonight and it worked beautifully. Additionally his “oh we were just talking. Friend.” Was so fucking good. He was mocking Max and pretending to be scared, and then when Pete spoke he fake cowered and clutched his pearls. He then gestured at the boys and pointed at Pete and did the whistle. Bone chilling. Love that freak. 

No smoke when David got stabbed! He just stumbled around, and he basically stumbled into Michael’s arms. Like ik he normally reaches out to one of them, but he full on stumbled into Michael then turned to reach out to Star. 

Everyone was soooo touchy tonight. Michael and Star. Michael and David. David and Star. All of the Boys. Even Lucy and Max. Super touchy and it was great

Ali getting trundled out on the rigging during the first scene is fucking hilarious. He’s just dangling there like the SpongeBob wizard from the ceiling fan meme.

Michael and the surfer he was supposed to kill curl up in pain in the same way and reach out with the same hand to block a blow. Just really interesting setting if the scene, with David eating the surfer while Michael is hallucinating(?) his dad again.

Lucy and Max were amazing. Max was super nervous and awkward and Lucy was very sassy. Max was constantly fidgeting with his tie and neck collar, voice cracks, the whole nine yards. Lucy also cut herself off during the kitchen scene, the “it’s the best I can-“ by whispering a soft “fuck” when she turned away from the boys. Sho and PAN were great during Wild like normal, I absolutely love them to death. Lucy and Max were v flirty in general which was fun. I also noticed Max doesn’t immediately let go of her hand after shaking it at VideoMax; he holds on for waaay longer than needed. Also during Reckoning, Max was shaking with like barely-contained anger while holding his hand out to Lucy, but he immediately relaxed as soon as she took it.

Paul’s gas station guy during No More Monsters talks and flirts with Lucy. He’s also wearing the Max glasses. I’m connecting dots that don’t exist, but it is interesting to note.

David and Max process things the exact same way and you can see it in their facial expressions and it KILLS ME. I already had a post in the works about them but now I have even more added to it but David and Max are two sides of the same fucked up coin and ik they hate that. 

LJ got stuck on the chair during Secret Comes Out. I was v eepy last night and didn’t word it well, but normally when he goes to knock down the chair he rolls away from it. No he got stuck on it for a sec and struggled just a bit. He then also didn’t put it back up during My Brother Is A, Sam ended up doing it when talking to the Frogs. LJ also lost his earring right before Max comes over which was funny, and one of Sho’s bracelets fell off/broke during Make It Through The Night. Ben picked it up and put it in his pocket and Sho tightened all her other brackets and they had a little giggle about it.

Which, the Emerson family was Emersoning. Oh my god are they such a family. LJ did this little hiccup sob thing during the hug and ugh. So good. Michael in general just looked more pathetic than usual in the absolute best way possible— like the “kicked puppy” energy was dialed up to max. 

During Hurt A Little, Sax Guy was teaching the concession stand guy how to do hip thrusts. It was great. He then also did the rock pec pop during Superpower. Goddamn. 10/10. 

Dinner scene was fucking hilarious, and is quickly becoming one of my favorite scenes. Max pulled Lucy’s chair out for her and dusted it off before she sat and he pushed her in. Sam looked pissed during that. Alan shoved the cross basically into Max’s face. Edgar is eating out of the bowl of pasta, he doesn’t have a plate. Max made such a big deal out of making sure his crotch was dry when the water spilled, which resulted in him just grabbing the fly of his pants; he then turned to Lucy just holding it which was v funny. He also did this super cartoonish step over the line of Grandpa’s ashes. 

There are two different versions of the Santa Carla residents— nightlife and daytime. I’ve noticed it before in The Good Part, but I was looking for it this time and noticed some fun things. Expect a post about that soon, but does anyone know if it’s the same Santa Carla locals in say vs night clothes, or if it’s supposed to be different people? Idk if anyone has asked that before but I have thoughts

Mangione faced two criminal trials; this federal case dealing with stalking charges and a separate New York case dealing with murder charges. Mangione's lawyers have now tried to get the New York case dismissed for "double jeopardy", the legal concept that you can't be punished multiple times for the same offense.

This was not a plea deal, and prosecutors plan to seek life in prison for Mangione at his sentencing (scheduled for December).

Dick walks through the manor door holding some groceries and finds that Tim and Jason are watching something in the living room.

Jason: Dickie come see this I’m on TV!

Dick (setting down the grocery bags): What did you do this time?

Tim: Nothing, believe it or not. They made a buzz feed unsolved about Jason’s death.

Dick: Oh really, who do they think did it? Bruce? Alfred?

Jason: You Dick face.

Dick (laughing): Me? That’s a new one.

Tim: They have some pretty compelling evidence.

Jason: Yeah you disappeared from the public eye, shortly there after Bruce “replaced” you with a young orphan. Then you started showing up more until I mysteriously disappeared. Then you didn’t show up to the funeral.

Tim: They are saying you killed him in a jealous rage, then Bruce covered it up to protect yourself and his reputation.

Jason: I’m convinced.

Dick (sitting on the back of the couch stealing Tim’s popcorn): I am too. Maybe I am the killer.

Tim: See I believe the conspiracy that Jason just didn’t want to be in the limelight anymore so he faked his death.

Jason: What about the one where I was an actor the whole time, and they “killed me off” after Bruce no longer needed the PR.

ghost files is just so compelling because sure it’s about ghosts. sure it’s about trying to find proofs and evidence and explore what’s there. sure it’s about theories and banter. but in the midst of all this there’s another story about standing in the middle of a dark room paralyzed with fear until a friendly face cracks a joke for you. until someone says sure I’ll scream at dust and argue this is all bullshit while you find your courage. I’ll make a silly fool of myself, take goofy selfies of us in haunted mirrors and I’ll hold your hand for something I don’t even believe in. I’ll mock the wind and taunt demons so it’s less scary. I’ll sit there in the dark with you just to make you laugh.

there was a period of time during the buzzfeed unsolved era where there was a small group of people that genuinely believed shane was a demon or was possessed by a demon. there were three types of demon shane folks. one was "this would be really good for my fanfiction / fanart", another was just "it would be funny if he was", and then there were the guys who were like "guys he never acted the same after he came out of that closet in that one epsiode. guys his eyes rolled into the back of his head when he got an exorcism. guys hes really a demon" and there were at least a few who believed that with their whole heart. i wonder where they are today

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

Really love this screen shot because what Emotion is Alan trying to convey here.

He kinda just rubs his face against Sam's shoulder like a really pleased cat in the middle of their vampire murder town song. The first time he meets the guy. It's really funny to me.

I hate when people portray Dallas as this super bitter person who hates everyone and everything including the gang

Like, yeah, he's 100% more hardened and cold than the rest of the guys, but he's still a seventeen year old boy yall

He jokes around with his friends just as much as the next guy and I hate when people portray him as someone who's friends walk on eggshells around and who can't have any fun

You CANNOT tell me that he isn't teased and wrestled, that he doesn't laugh with them, that he doesn't have any connections or interests outside of violence

Ponyboy is the only person in the gang that is wary of Dallas in any way (besides Darry, although that can be debated) everyone else in the gang fucking loves Dallas!! That's their buddy!! Stop acting like he's not friends with them just because Pony is the most unreliable narrator ever!!

and while we’re at it, fuck this idea that ONE ACCOUNT has to belong uniquely to ONE PERSON. This is the same thing these silicon valley fucks want; their vision of the future where everyone has a unique biometric ID code implanted in their body is the ultimate extension of Netflix’s “no password sharing” policy. You want to use your friend’s car? Sorry, you can’t, you need to be an authorized user. Your mother wants to let you look something up on her OED account? Too bad! That’s only for her! The concept of perfect market efficiency gives them greedy little money bag eyes.

If I pay money to have a newspaper sent to my house, they don’t charge me extra when I show it to my dad. This password sharing thing isn’t just a Netflix problem; don’t be surprised if it shows up elsewhere in other forms. Stamp this idea out now or we’ll be stuck with it.

[jungwildeandfree]

This is by far the most popular post I have and I have to say: good, I’m right. Password sharing and ID verification are going to kill the internet. not oooh in 50 years. in like 5 more.
