I think what really set hoa apart from other shows for me ( other then my kid brain thinking season one had 90 episodes) was that all the relationships felt real? and like not even the romantic ones the platonic ones especially. like yeah some of the scene can come off as something out of a cheese romance fic but they can also come off as just them being friends and bonding? and especially bonding with people that they've known for ages but haven't really like connected with if that makes sense? and I think it really reminds me of my old classes where yeah we’d not talk but when it got to certain times ( like before an exam or a last day of school) where we’d all just band together and chat and laugh and be a group? that's what I see in the relationships shown on the screen. but maybe that was also what was missing in season 3 for me at least, because it introduced a lot of new characters who didn't know anyone/ new a few people. with Nina and Eddie the show showed that the og house residence already knew these people so it felt like we with Nina were being introduced into their lives and becoming friends with them and forming the deep bonds they already had. and then with Eddie we still follow Nina sorta so its not as jarring as if the pov suddenly switched to Eddie for season 2 ( and I think it made Eddie being the protag in season 3 a much cleaner transition then it could have been). but with season 3 there were a lot of new characters that didn’t have already formed dynamics. and to go from the tight knit group of season 2 to people leaving, relationship drama, old couples that we loved being replaced by the new people ( and that's not the characters fault nor is it exactly unrealistic but its jarring all the same if that makes sense) it feels odd. it feels like almost a season 1 relationship building style with a season 3 plot and at times it made the show harder to watch because it couldn't explore as many emotions without redoing them from Nina's time, and it couldn't explore as many plot dynamics because the bonds weren't as strong.
but like season 3? pretty good considering they lost their old protag and then also Amber. though I do with we saw Fabians struggle with both of them leaving more because like sabuna was the 3 of them to behind with, and to be the last of the founders must feel horrid. and then for Eddie to rightfully take the lead and Patricia to take his place as like the love interest to the lead it must have been awkward? idk maybe they did explore that its been years since I watched season 3
There’s toxic old woman yuri in season 5 episode 4 of psych?!? Best show ever made 10/10.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. have I said omg because oh my fucking god. This is incredible. I wish to consume your art. If I had the money I would have it as a tramp stamp. You made the pheonix plume pretty. HOW. I wish I had something to trade you with besides me freaking out over how cool this is
Thinking about one post here that I read a few years back, where, instead of Aang surviving the air nomad genocide, he dies with them, and the Avatar is reincarnated along the cycle, and by the time of the show, the Avatar is now in the Fire Nation, and it's. Zuko. And I cannot stop thinking about how funny this is as a concept. The same guy who yelled at the sky to strike lightning at him. That's the Avatar now.
I'm gonna be so real all I can thank about is how in an AU where they didn't all just die eventually Sarah, Rory, and Erica would simply be 'to young' for Benny and Ethan. Like socially if people saw these two 30 year olds hanging out with what looks like high school kids people would look twice.
Like sure those two dying whilst the other three remain imortal is sad. But what about all those years they do have together, but feel preasured to split apart? What about when Benny starts getting lines along his forehead and Ethan loses the baby fat on his cheeks? what happens then when Erica still has working knees, or Sarah never gets smile lines, or Rorys hands never earn calouses? Because even if Benny and Ethan decide to join them in their vampirism, that still a few years older than their friends, a few more years for them to collect these wonders of aging, a time to see their bodys become what could've been.
I like the idea that Chishiya, Kuina , Usagi and Arisu all travelled together after the destruction of the beach and they met in like the weird control room. and obviously their going to be on the move a lot, either trying to out run old beach members who are pissed because Chisiya was like a high raking member and Arisu was probably seen with the official people ( I forgot their names shhh). Also having to find new food/medical supplies and also just following games and shit. now most transports don't work (other than really old bikes and stuff as we know from that one lowkey dull running game but the odds of finding enough shit for that is hard) so their probably going to use bikes. but oh no there's a problem. Chishiya and Arisu cant ride a bike. they just never learnt because, and I mean really, look at the two of them. do they look like the kind of people that have the physical prowess to ride a bike? no. no they don't. so now they have to sit on the back on Kuina and Usagi's bikes when ever they go, either sitting in one of those little toddler baby seat things OR standing on the like back wheel axle thing.
So its currently like 12am for me rn when I'm typing this idk when I'll post it but I had a thought. Arisu is the type of person to spam his friends a picture of spam 50 times over a minor joke about him not being their fave friend. specifically this photo
In other news I just spammed my friend this photo 50 times because he sides with his boyfriend over me in a minor debate
Arisu is the type of lover who goes through the motions of being overly clingy and then almost not clingy enough. He’d go from spoiling his lover, texting and msging them any second he can, making playlists and writing fanfics of his lovers Favorite couples ( not that either are very good). then randomly he’d start pulling away, the play lists would stop, the writing would run dry and the gifts would stop ( not his choice, money is hard to get). he still texts everyday but the goodnight texts fade as his sleeping schedule falls into a whack thing. And he knows it happens, he's sobbed to himself on the kitchen floor enough to know it happens. He’s been broken up with and broken up with people over it for not being a good enough lover. and yet he just cant stop because it comes and goes with the seasons, an unchangeable force of nature .
hatter reminds me greatly of the roman emperor Caligula ( ya know the guy who like declared war on Neptune and stabbed the ocean? and also tried to have his horse be made a consul) so he's got the crazy part down. oh and being murdered by the militants ( like how Caligula was like assassinated by someone in the praetorian guard or something) oh and the sex crazed thing
Arisu and Usagi Carrousel date where they sit on like the ponies next to each other and hold hands and laugh as their hands are stretched apart where one horse goes up and the other comes down. Maybe Usagi steps off for the next turn and leaves a reluctant Arisu to stay sat on the horse and she takes photos of him on a polaroid camera and laughs because he's sorta grumpy at being left alone buy then carrousels are SUPER fun so he's still smiling and shit.
omfg that's genius I love it
Alice in borderland au where everything’s the same but hatter is animated like a cartoon
I like to imagine if you piss of hatter he just spits at you like an angry lama. Like something like this I guess Chishiya: what if we didnt do that Hatter Spits at him hitting his eye Chishiya: oww shit did you spit at me? Hatter Spits at his other eye Aguni: means he disagrees, next person?
