I had a lot to say about this episode and most of it was positive and then the last 10 minutes happened and now I'm just upset and speechless. In tears once again feeling like I did after the Pride episode. Why does this keep happening? Why is it always us?

Why is Maya having a heartfelt conversation with the man who bullied her for months? Why do we never get to see these moments happen between Maya and Carina? Why are we seeing a man centered in their storyline AGAIN? We have never seen Maya and Carina get to help each other through this IVF process, give each other their shots, be there for one another but don't worry, a man is always there to get the job done! And to know it's coming from a queer writer this time? It hurts so much more.

And then the sex montage...really? So you're going to have all the couples in the montage having sex, okay, fine. But then the double standards are just even more glaring. Maya and Carina are fully clothed, their kiss is barely even a kiss once again and they get the least amount of time while Vic and Theo who aren't even together are stripping down, kissing each other's neck, getting pushed onto the bed...it's just so upsetting. In a 10pm time slot no less.

I'm just so frustrated. What are we fighting for? For this? The show can be so good at times and then it does stuff like this that gets me physically upset. We deserve so much better.

Maya and Carina || STATION 19 (3.05 // 7.06)

That episode was a lot and had so much but overall I thought it was pretty good. That last Marina scene was so many mixed emotions and feelings but we got so much from it. 😭 We FINALLY heard Maya speak Italian and Carina was wearing Maya's SFD shirt!!! I'm so bummed that they did Carina dirty yet again for no good reason and felt it was necessary to have her find out that she can't get pregnant but the idea of using Maya's eggs is definitely intriguing and I do hope they continue that story until the end of the season now and we get to at least see some progress made. I do wonder if any of it will be touched on in a big way in episode 7 now.

The FaceTime scene was adorable too. Maya calling Liam probie and Danielle adding in a 'babe' (bless her) was perfect. The only thing missing was a reaction from Carina to Maya wearing her Class A's. But Maya loves her family so much and it's the cutest thing.

As for the other stuff...the audacity of the writers Emily to write Maya apologizing to Beckett for her part in what she did and then to not have Beckett apologize for literally torturing and bullying her for 6 months??? For dumping fake blood on her in a Halloween episode??? So Beckett's actions are excused and fine but Maya apologizes and this dumbass still doesn't trust her and acts like an absolute fool on the call and then Maya has to DOUBLE DOWN and own up to her part again and he says nothing again for the way he treated her?? That was such a slap in the face it's ridiculous.

I did like how they had Andy acknowledge that Maya is always there for her and the call back to them in the academy but they definitely could have done more with that. I guess it's impossible for Maya to ever get any kind of remorse or apology in return though.

Carina mentioning Andrew was too much for me 😭 Liam deserved to have his Zio Andrea in his life and I'll forever be sad that he doesn't have him.

The obsession the writers have with Ross and Sullivan truly needs to be studied. They will never be the epic love story romance that they continue to try and force on us.

But anyway...

Marina Fanfic Recs

Someone asked me for an updated fic rec list so here's a list of fics I've enjoyed so far this year. I made a list last at the end of 2023 putting my faves of the year which you can find here. You're going to see a lot of the same writers on this one because in my opinion they really know how to encapsulate Marina's love in their writing and give us what we don't get to see on the show.

Moving Past Queer Shame

Reducing Queer Shame: A Guide to Embracing Your Authentic Self 💖🌈

Hey there lovely souls! 🌟

We all have stories and sometimes, they’re marred with shadows of shame.

Here’s a little guide on how we can embrace our queer identities with love and authenticity...

🌷 Understanding Our Childhood Shadows: A lot of us queer folks have these childhood memories where we were told to be more 'this' or less 'that'. Maybe some said we should "man up" or that our fashion choices were “too much”. Sound familiar?

🍀 The Manifestation of Shame: It's heartbreaking when these shadows then slowly turn into self-stigma. The quiet voice that tells us to hide, to conform, or that we’re somehow wrong. This voice can remain with us for many years to come.

🔍 Recognising the Inner Critic: But over time, we can learn to build self-awareness. Next time you find yourself being judgmental to yourself, stop and reflect. Ask why that is. What’s that voice really saying? Whose voice is this really? Is it mine, or the internalised voice of someone else?

🌈 Choosing Love and Acceptance: Remember, there's nothing wrong with being your authentic self. Often, we forget the true nature of who we are, thinking we're somehow less than or not enough.

Emotionally accepting that might take a slow... therapy can be a good friend in this journey.

If you have queer shame and want to do something about it... We at Voda are on this journey with you. Check out the Voda app to try out programmes specifically designed to help reduce queer shame and be your authentic self, our app is designed with LGBTQIA+ therapists.

Love and Light, Voda 💜🌈

Hi! I love all the coloring book pages you’ve been posting! I bought both of them and have been slowly coloring some of the pages. It looks like you’ve been coloring then digitally so if that’s the case I wondered if you would mind sharing how you converted them from physical to digital? Thanks! - a fellow critter

Hi! They are indeed colored digitally, using scans of the physical book! The initial scans were done as black and white jpg (to keep the images from coming out yellowed) with a high ppi setting (for a large size to work on), which were then lightly edited using a curve adjustment layer on photoshop for better contrast between the black lines and white background. Depending on your scanner it may not be possible to fit the entire page in one go; these were scanned in two parts and then combined using the photomerge tool in photoshop. I did have help from another fellow critter friend with the actual scanning process so I'm no expert when it comes to details (they shared these details with me to help answer your ask!), but I hope this helps!

For the actual coloring I set the background/line layer to multiply, and also like to duplicate it and lower the opacity on the extra to make the lines more crisp.

I hope you have fun with your coloring!

CALLING ALL CRITTERS!!

is it possible to buy the mighty nein coloring book as a digital copy somewhere? I REALLY REALLY want it!!

Dad takes me to Atlanta Olympic Games. Fernanda Ribeiro wins 10,000 meters gold.

"Wrote the most book reports!" (around 6 years old)

6 years old. Birthday party bouncy house. Parents mad other kids show up.

11 years old. Went to the soccer summer camp. No one would pass me the ball. First time someone said my dad was intense and I hit him.

Extra info :

The Atlanta Olympic Games were in 1996 so Maya was, supposedly, 7 years old.

Brandi Chastain won in 1999. That means Maya was 10 in 1999. She was born in 1989.

Maya was 23 when she competed in the 2012 Olympics.

Mason is now canonically the younger brother (it was assumed) and they have a 3-year age gap.

Everything in the timeline was written in red. Except for "blue stripes and green laces" (colors in the text). And "First time someone said my dad was intense and I hit him." (that was in black)
