in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

I hope so bad we get to meet the warnette baby in release me, I keep thinking of james’ line that warner is the only guy who can look terrifying in lavender and I like to think he’s also the only guy who can be terrifying holding a baby (and had to sketch it)

getting more upset by the hour over the last scenes of roy/keeley/jamie together. like clearly there’s arguments to be made on either side of how it was out of left field and sexist and a major regression of character, but also how the show has never shied away from showing how progress isn’t linear and people make mistakes. but that feels like something you put in the middle of a season from a writing perspective, what’s frustrating me is that that is the note we left the season (and quite possibly the show entirely) on after all the growth between each of these characters.

between roy and keeley never having any kind of heart to heart where they both express how they felt about breaking up, it being kind of unclear up until the end whether jamie was still interested in keeley romantically or just saw her as a good friend (plus the decision to add them going to brazil together??), the transformation in jamie and roy’s relationship from day one. then to end on a ‘you have to choose’ scene after sexist remarks leveraging their histories with her + physical violence with no vulnerable, honest conversations between any of them and all this unfinished business just feels like none of them were done sufficient justice. sure, a show shouldn’t spoon feed its audience or spell everything out for them, and I love that the show has rarely done that, but without any of the meaningful interactions between these characters that the show had seemed (at least to me) to be leading up to, the ending it left on is just deeply, deeply unsatisfying. I love this show, and loved a lot of this season’s episodes and the messages about found family, change, love, believing, etc. but i had trusted that the doubts I had at the beginning would be resolved by the end because the show has always been delightful in its surprises, but in many ways the overarching storyline of this season was a mess and these characters’ endings largely fell flat as a result.

who knows, maybe ted’s note of it never being about him really is a hint at a spin off, maybe jason sudeikis will change his mind and endorse a fourth season, but with where things stand at the moment, i really hope this isn’t how they meant to end things.
