okay I have MS Brain Memory so I can't remember if y'all's birthday is April 28 or April 30, and it's April 29 which I know it is not but I'm splitting the difference (the only reason I remember y'all's birthdays at all is because it's the same month as mine lol I am FAMOUS for forgetting birthdays ask my BFF whose birthday I once forgot like five straight years for her to get a birthday the day after of me being like OH GOD FUCK I'M SO SORRY and her responding with hysterical laughter (holla @feignedwisdom)
but HAPPY BIRTHDAY @emmaswanned and @swiftzeldas !!! A couple of my oldest and dearest tumblr pals can you believe it's been ten years since the Cubs won???? It's been such a miserable ten years in the world lol but MAYBE THIS IS THE YEAR?
love you guys and hope you have/have had a great birthday!!
THE CUBS BETTER GIVE Y'ALL A W TODAY I JUST REALIZED THE GAME WAS ON SO I'M LIKE. bEHIND >_> i thought it was an off day for some reason
OKAY oh man thinking about all these GREAT episodes is really making me realize just how subpar s7-8 are
Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark. i've said it so many times. it's a perfect episode. i love everything about it. i love the henry stuff. i love gus in his pjs. i love the shules confession over the phone. i love that when shawn is in real danger the person he wants is lassiter. i love this episode.
Mr Yin Presents. this is a great lassiet ep if you're a freak like me. it's also a great shules ep and shawn is also so sweet with abigail in this. also jimmi simpson is impossibly funny. ALSO, if i had a nickel for how many times this show tricked me for a second into thinking mcnab is secretly evil i'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's kind of weird it happened twice.
Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing. i love lassie-centric episodes. the writing in this one is so good. i love when lassiter is forced to go to shawn and gus for help.
Gus Walks Into a Bank. we love a good guest star episode and i'm proud to say i've been an alan ruck fan since BEFORE he was a roy. also, this is a good shassie team-up episode. shawn and gus are also v sweet in this in their weird way lol
Talk Derby to Me. I love when jules gets to be a badass and also literally every time i watch this episode it makes me want to join roller derby it really gives me delusions of grandeur.
Last Night Gus. conceptually this just rules. hangover-style episode feat. shawn, gus, lassie, woody, and henry. HOW could this have been a bad episode.
An Evening with Mr. Yang. i'd be remiss not to include the yin-yang episode that started it all. this contains what may be the funniest moment of the series (mary's limp handshake). oh, and the good will hunting references that bookend this episode? very good.
From the Earth to the Starbucks. simply a classic. the shassie of it all.
Indiana Shawn and the Temple of the Kinda Crappy Rusty Old Dagger. this is here to represent ALL the despereaux episodes bc i do love all of them but this might just edge out the others. shawn is at his most bisexual when despereaux is present. also this is just a great episode and the indiana jones refs are great
Tuesday the 17th. who would i be if this doesn't make the cut.
Honorable mentions: A Very Juliet Episode, Yang 3 in 2D, Shawn Gets the Yips, He Loves Me He Loves Me Not He Loves Me Oops He's Dead, Heeeere's Lassie, Santabarbaratown/Santabarbaratown 2, The Devil's in the Details and the Upstairs Bedroom, Neil Simon's Lover's Retreat, Dead Man's Curve Ball
Telling someone their... soul mate is in a coma is probably not helpful. Not having a happy ending is painful enough, but giving someone unrealistic hope is far worse.
emmaswanned reblogged your post “I gotta admit i really thought Shannon was being manipulative at first when she said that she wasn't actually pregnant...”
This stops right here lmao. Please don’t add negative, incorrect commentary to my posts. If you have an issue, please use my ask box so we can discuss it.
I never said Shannon was faking it, I just said it was odd that she shows back up and is pregnant. I was hoping it would turn out she wasn’t bc that’s clearly not something she was ready for.
And woman hating? Absolutely don’t associate me with any of that. I am allowed to dislike a woman character, especially one that sucks. Do I have to like all women characters or I’m going to be considered a woman hater? That’s ridiculous. Hen and Athena are two of my favorite characters on this show, am I still a woman hater?
Shannon has shown us that she’s a terrible wife and mother and that she’s extremely selfish, nothing else. Christopher is what, 8-12? And she’s acting like she needs to STUDY AND LEARN how to be a mom/wife when that’s not how it works. You learn by doing and Shannon fucking bounced.
the first thing that my brain went to was the debate 109 and i hate myself for that. the second one is fm remington steele, when steele kisses laura on the docks on their like, second case under the guise of pretending to be couple on a night stroll and they’re falling into the illusion even tho steele is the one driving this whole thing home.
here let me show u a pic:
it doesn’t last long but its very romantic and for a moment steele himself falls into it even tho he is technically stealing a kiss.
19.Have you ever shipped something despite yourself?
…yes…liv and ravi fm izombie even tho i knew they were never gonna go there. also blaine and rita and what they did to rita was literally the reason i dropped the show.
23. Which of your ships deserve better writing?
listen, i dont talk about them anymore bc like latin as a language, its dead. but, (deep sigh) jeff winger and annie edison deserved more than a goodbye at the airport. there was time to develop them, despite dan harmon’s absence in s4. he could have done something in s5 and tied it all together in s6. he and his writing team decided not to. p. much everyone deserved better. his perfect circle about writing with things having changed is not true, bc nothing changed post s3. if only we hadn’t been thinking about our ego things might have been different.

ohhh ok so the site isn’t going anywhere? anon had me thinking it was about to be shut down or something. or are people abandoning ship? I feel so out of the loop. but jfc that’s how they’ve decided to deal with the bots?! wtaf
and nope I won’t be going anywhere :) I’ll be on this hell site until the doors are closed, I’ve been here too long to just leave now, I gotta see this through to the bitter end
bish this is the hardest one BUT ENJOY THIS I WROTE THIS PERSON’S POV ESPECIALLY 4 U
Mike Fontenot didn’t really think Rizzo would call; he’dactually figured Demp was joking when he said why he’d given Rizzo his number.He says as much to Rizzo, who barely reacts. If what Dempster says is true,Rizzo has way more on his mind right now.
Rizzo’s quiet, so Mike figures it’s on him to start theconversation. “He said you wanted to know about the locker thing.”
“Yes!” Rizzo pounces on the topic, seems grateful Mike broughtit up. “I asked if anything weird happened when he was with the Cubs and hethought of you right away.”
Mike snorts with laughter. Dempster had never believed him,of course, nor had many of his teammates. What happened is ten years in the pastnow, and he’s pushed it so far out of his head he could almost believe he’ddreamed it.
Some nights, he knows he didn’t dream it because when hedoes dream of it, it almost feels more real than anything that happens when he’sawake.
All that said, there’s not much to tell. Any visual evidenceis long gone, and Mike’s heard lately that eyewitness testimony is no good. Mikebriefly runs over the details with Rizzo – how every time he walked into theclubhouse, his belongings were strewn across the floor, everything but hisjersey. The way nobody would take credit when things were moved. How he’dbelieved it had to be one of his teammates – Theriot, maybe Dempster – eventhough Ryan swore on his kids it wasn’t him and Ryan didn’t take shit like thatlightly.
It sounds so uninteresting when he lays it out like thisbut Rizzo hangs on every word. Mike wishes they weren’t on the phone so hecould see the kid’s face.
It got so easy back then for Mike to pretend it was nothing.Whatever was going on, it was never dangerous, or so Mike told himself. He lethimself believe it was his teammates, adamant denials and all. When he went tothe Giants in 2010 it never happened again, so that’s his answer, right there.
Right?
“It’s hard to wrap your brain around,” he says to Rizzoslowly, “’cause you know it doesn’t make sense.”
He hasn’t thought about it in so long. He’s tried toforget. The one thing he doesn’t tell anyone – not then, not now, not ever – ishow even now he still wakes in a cold sweat some September nights, having dreamedof wandering the dark halls inside Wrigley Field.
