[yourfandomfreak]

The flaws in season one are mostly eclipsed by the quality writing and acting, and how the story ties together

But those cracks are definitely more obvious in season two

I really do hope that the next season is able to balance it out

[yourfandomfreak]

Rewatching season one, as I show my family the show for the first time, it strikes me that it’s sad and frustrating that Garcia dismisses Santos’ concerns twice

And yes I understand that she probably shouldn’t have told Garcia, but at the same time it was a really hard position to be in of discovering what Langdon was doing and trying to figure out what to do.

And even though she was right, Garcia STILL calls her trouble

And I maintain that Santos is allowed to make mistakes, and to stumble and fall, without being seen as a horrible person

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

[yourfandomfreak]

it was strange hearing Alyson Hannigan say "I put my flute up my pussy", when I'm so used to her as Willow

American Pie 1 and 2 were crazy, yet hilarious

[yourfandomfreak]

I'm watching Sky High for the first time, and it's a lot of fun

and I totally see the vision for Warren x Layla

[yourfandomfreak]

There are aspects of myself that relate to Santos

So it really sucks when my family doesn’t like or doesn’t understand her

I know it’s fictional but when people in your family already misunderstand me and have been shitty in the past, stuff like this hurts

[yourfandomfreak]

Daniel finally gets reunited with his wife, but it's under terrible circumstances

and they got so little time together

I'm heartbroken for both of them

I really, really hope that they can eventually be free from the Goa'uld

[literategnome]

I decided Langdon and Mel needed to have their romcom trailer moment

Watch on YouTube or TikTok

[marsbarstothestars]

THE FACT THAT THESE ARE ALL CANON MOMENTS IS A FUCKING JOKE

[yourfandomfreak]

I haven't read the books, but the Off Campus series was really good

it surprised me in a good way

[yourfandomfreak]

one more episode of Off-Campus, and I am so invested

not what I expected; it's been really good

[yourfandomfreak]

even though she was a hallucination, I still ate up my Kastle crumbs

I love what they mean to each other, and how far they have both come

[yourfandomfreak]

The Punisher: One Last Kill was a well done story, in a short time

it shows Frank's trauma, his pain, his anger, everyone he's lost

and I appreciated how he protected people, as well as doling out vengeance

at the end, the One Batch, Two Batch, Penny and Dime, wasn't a mantra before killing, it was a reminder of his daughter, and to protect others like her

[blossom2blossom]

like in order for robby's annoyance to have any basis, there was a necessity to demonstrate the various ways in which samira's pace is significantly harmful to the well-being of patients. emphasizing that she struggles to keep her focus on the big picture and ends up delaying the treatment of patients' actual health issues would accomplish this, but instead the show is like no she just cares and listens to her patients and robby gets on her ass for it lol! just very careless writing imo and i wouldn't be surprised if there had originally been a more fleshed out story planned for her that included an emphasis on the difference in abbot and robby's teaching styles and they just scrapped it because they were like we need to make this the Self Insert Suicide Show

[samirasystole]

plugging these tags by @hatosyscurls

because i've been talking for ages that robby, as a mentor, is supposed to adapt his teaching style to what his students need. as a student in the medical field, you have to adapt to what your student needs. if they don't listen, you be more direct. if they're too slow, you figure out what's effective and give them tools if the simple feedback doesn't work. like i'm being so genuine when i say that yes, she takes charge of her own education, but robby is the one responsible for *teaching* her, and guiding her to actually grow. a good mentor doesn't apply the same strategy to every student. robby clearly treats one type of person (white man) in one way, and then doesn't put any effort into thinking what she or any other Not White Man needs to grow. i could go so far to even say it's a little neglectful to not adapt to what she needs and then blame her for not growing. but what do i know about medical education, it's not like i've had to deal with seveal robby's for the last five years or anything 🤷🏻 🙄🙄

[yourfandomfreak]

I still think Nigel deserves better after all those years

[yourfandomfreak]

I'm pretty sure no luxury brand would care that they get their attire and other expensive shit from sweatshops, etc.

sure, they might pretend to care, but they wouldn't change anything

I'm glad that it all worked out for our characters, and that Runway is saved

I was happy to see Andy and Emily be friends, and that Emily wasn't irrevocably screwed over

it was fun, but I still think that it didn't have as significant a message as the first one

[gahdamnpunk]

Can we support him please?!

[comfygiant]

I would love to share this with everyone who may happen to see this post. Please support this wonderful human being. He spent nearly a half century in prison for a crime he never committed. And the only thing that kept him going was his artistic endeavors. He deserves the best life can offer anyone ❤️
