Just thinking about how like, when I was a teenager, the gayest show we had was Merlin, which was somehow super gay and also incredibly homophobic.

But now y’all teens have your pick of queer characters. Soft gay teenagers? Check. Gay royalty? Check. Gay pirates? Check. Gay vampires? Check. Gay angels and demons? Check.

It’s a damn LGBT smorgasbord out there.

The Aenead so far is a lot less of a shit show that the iliad. Tho only read book 1. Some notable things tho:

- Venus sprinkled her son is sexy dust

- Juno went to the winds like, yo I'll give u brood mare wife if u start a storm to kill those Trojans over there, winds went, bet.

- iulus seems to be between a year old and 13, we do not know, he says his first word after he has done archery and ridden a horse.

- oh and love is an infection.

Happy pride to my aro aces, my gay aces, bi aces, straight aces, my trans aces, cis aces, grey aces, sex repulsed aces, sex neutral aces, sex positive aces, my boy aces, my girl aces, non-binary aces, young aces, old aces, closeted aces, recently self discovered aces, loud and proud aces, literally wherever you fall on the ace spectrum happy pride!!

Agamemnon *grumpy & glaring*: this is stupid

Menelaus *twirling*: I think it's neat.

Yeah it’s MAY already so… would you want…

I have such frustrated feelings about Why Women Kill.

I adored season 1 so much, it was brilliant! The writing was solid, there was a tension to the mystery, parts of it that only unraveled with time.

And this show was actually unique. The way it told three murder mysteries in three different time periods that all shared the same location was incredibly cool. As someone who loves the look of a period piece from the last century, it was so nice to see the costumes, the cars, the sets. The way the show transitioned between time periods too!

That’s not even mentioning the cast, the cast was fucking amazing, I mean, you don’t cast Lucy Liu and don’t get praise for that, that’s a given, but Ginnifer Goodwin and Kirby Howell-Baptiste were also amazing.

An incredibly talented cast that got to work with a solid script in a refreshing concept of story-telling.

And then they just… threw everything unique about the show out of the window in season 2 and made it the most average, mediocre thin, just another run-of-the-mill crime show. Sure, it was still a period piece, but only one period.

The concept of switching between periods, which was the unique and interesting aspect, was gone - and I can only assume that was some stupid greed decision of “oh well, if we keep doing 3 decades a season, we’ll burn through the past century way too fast so let’s slow down!” or something. But I’d rather have had three incredible seasons that had wrapped it on 90 years total and kept the model of story-telling that the show first used, than what the show ended up doing.

Not to mention that there was just… no real… Season 2 lacked appeal. The stories of the three murderesses had intrigue, for one, it wasn’t even entirely clear who would end up the murderer and who would be the victim, and then there was compassion woven in too. They were complex. Season 2 just fell incredibly flat and was so much more predictable.

It was also such a drag. Because it had one story that it told over the span of the same length as season 1, which told three stories. So they stretched this out to trice the length it should have needed.

All of this is to say, I wasn’t surprised when this show got cancelled after season 2, because of course did it get cancelled after season 2. In a sea of shows that get cancelled too early, this one actually did that to itself by self-sabotaging so hard.

And yeah, I’m still mad about that, because I just rewatched Sandman and saw Kirby and was reminded of Why Women Kill season 1 and how great this show could have been if it had kept the anthology format of telling multiple stories within one season, if it had managed to keep even just half the quality of season 1.

Spoilers for Catching fire of the Hunger games series, if u havent watched it dont read.

Rewatching the 2nd hunger games film, Catching Fire for the first time in a years here r my thoughts chronologically, & I've got a lot to say about this one:

- They actually show Katniss's PTSD, flashbacks and nightmares.

- Gale being a "nice guy", christ hes a an sh*tty

- watching them back to back, they recast the cat!!!

- Snow is a fabulous villain.

- CINNA 🥰

- Caeser Flickerman's banger theme tune!

- The camera's interview is so awkward

- Effie deserved Katniss snapping at her on the train

- Peeta acknowledging that he cant hold her to wot they did to survive in the games! Peeta's already way above Gale. Peeta king 👑 of communication.

- just asking each other their favourite colour is adorable

- The Mockingjay!

- Peeta offering to talk to make it easier for Katniss

- Peeta giving Thresh & Rue's families some of their winnings. Katniss's speech about Rue is beautiful, I'm sobbing

- Haymitch knows better than anyone that you never escape the games.

- I love the anti corporal punishment, pro riots/rebellion, f*ck the police message of catching fire

- Peeta without question helping to save Gale cos he's not selfish

- Prim being a great nurse!

- I don't think Katniss has ever had any romantic feeling for Gale, he's just her best friend at most, a lot of the time he's barely that, she would've thrown herself in front of that whip if it was anyone she remotely cared about.

- The trauma of all the victors. Haymitcch is right they're not winners, they're survivors. Nobody ever wins.

- Effie actually kinda realizing the games arent the honour shes been indoctrinated to think they are.

I love this film, for me, it's my favourite in the series.

Rewatching the 1st hunger games film for the first time in a years r my thoughts chronologically:

- I love Cinna, they captured him perfectly.

- Caeser Flickerman's commentary is a fabulous addition.

- Rue's introduction scene is perfect.

- when Katniss says "hey" in training centre, peeta's eyes light up

- the scene where haymitch is watching Capitol children pretend to be part of the Hunger games captures how desensitized they are really well.

- Seneca Crance doesn't fully understand the politics of why the games exist the way they do.

- Caeser Flickerman's song is such a banger!!!

- Peeta "She came here with me" Mellark

- Katniss looking at the bow at the cornucopia, Peeta: Katniss no!, Katniss: Katniss yes!!

- Haymitch seeing Katniss hurt so having to charm Capitol sponsors even tho he hates doing it. °○°

- I love that while Katniss is the Mockingjay, it's Rue's death & the unity between them that sparks the riot in District 11.
