In which it's been too long

2013-12-07T16:16:22Z

Hi and stuff, I hope you guys aren't having too stressful a December?

I've got family coming on the 20th, so the next fortnight is just gonna be my on my hands and knees (shut up) trying to make this place spotless.

Tis the season to get high on cleaning chemical fumes :\

Anyway, the point of this entry? Some fic recs for you! You've still got it, Merlin writers ♥

This tumblrfic by skellerbvvt (PG, possibly M/A pre-slash). I don't think it has a name. But it's about Merlin being a cyborg, so where can you go wrong, I ask you? The best news? Skeller is apparently writing more. Moooooore.

Hold On To What We Are by anonymous to be revealed at a later date (M/A, NC-17, ~11k). Four words: zombie apocalypse Christmas fic. If that doesn't float your boat, you can't be helped, I'm afraid. This is lovely writing right here, with the author cleverly balancing grim and domestic, isolation and camaraderie.

Ancient Methods of Roasting Chickens by fleete (PG-13, OT4, ~6k). Gah, this fic. Not ashamed to say I had happy tears in my eyes at end. This is everything you could want from a reincarnation fic. The relationships between the four are complex and hard and there are consequences in every life; long-lasting from their first lives, to immediate and dangerous in specific time periods they're reborn into. And the author's take on magic is just gorgeous. It's sparse, but every time it was mentioned, I got a little starry-eyed. Anyhoo, read this if you want your soul to sparkle.

In which it's arrested development

2013-05-27T16:42:39Z

My Arrested Development thoughts

TO BEGIN, OMFG ARE YOU SERIOUS WITH THAT ENDING? I feel like they're being really positive though, like, fuck yes there will be a season 5 and/or movie. So I guess it's exciting, but I spent the whole thirteen eps in between one and fifteen waiting for the Bluth boys to get back together and make up and then it ends with the punch and omggggg DYING.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU THOUGHTS ON THE SEASON? Tell me your favourite/least favourite things?

I really, really liked it. I couldn't tell you until I rewatch whether I LOVED it, but right now I'm feeling pretty fucking fond. Maybe it's because I had low to no expectations? Deliberately so, I mean ninja please, after seven years and so much hype, who really expects to get the same class of show as the original? But it honestly felt very true to the original, even if the format was different. Of course I have gripes but I'm just glowing with adoration right now, I'm so fucking happy.

Favourite things:

George Michael's 41 seconds of silence (and then second 23 24)

Lucille 2: I used to wear that with the Captain. And I was...
Lindsay: Tennille?
Lucille 2: And not make eye contact, yes!

Methaod One

Henry Winkler's son playing young Barry Zuckerkorn.

Jessica Walter's legs, daaaaaaaamn girl.

The Gob/Tony Wonder story. I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. Disappointed it ended with Ann tricking them, but the first half of that ep was pure genius. The first time in season four I shook my fist at the sky and whispered 'Arrested Development' angrily and lovingly.

The second time was in George Michael's ep because it was BUGGING me in the first fews eps that he was suddenly a computer wiz, because where did that come from? NOWHERE, that's where, he was creating a woodblock app, OF COURSE HE WAS ♥

"The Da Vinci Code was from this photo."

Jokes I missed that tumblr is catching up me on, like Michael's pic on George Michael's phone is from when George Michael is explaining a "mayonegg" to him, or that Lucille's number on her prison jacket is a backwards 'hello' (Annyong!) written in numbers (look), or this, or FUCKING THIS.

Things I could complain about:

Pretty common complaint, but I felt they overdid the cameos. I mean, maybe if I watched Workaholics, I'd be excited by the scene, but I don't and all I was left with was "err, why was that necessary?" And the Conan/Andy bit? Was that in there just so Conan could make a joke? And you really want to hire John Krasinski for one or two lines of dialogue? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. They could have saved that money and put it into making the Henry Winkler CGI more believable.

(I did however love all the cameos from people who'd been in the original series. They got pretty much everyone except Maggie Lizer, Nellie and Starla, right?)

Which leads me to Kristen Wiig and Seth Rogen. I didn't think they were bad (I thought Wiig was quite genius in the first ep), I just...again, why bother? They didn't bring anything.

Another common complaint is the format ie. character-based episodes. I think it needed to be that way and I thought it was clever how the storylines all tied together, BUT I also did find it dragged. In the first half of the season I was missing George-Michael/Maeby/Buster, but then by the last episode I realised I missed George Sr./Lindsay/Tobias. When you're so used to only spending minutes at a time with the characters before jumping to someone else's story, having a full 30 minutes dedicated to one or two people can be quite daunting and, at times, dull.

Also, did anyone else find the time jumps to be really confusing in the beginning ? It took me a few episodes to really understand the timeline. And, to be honest, I stopped trying to understand George Sr./Lucille's wall plans after a short amount of time, too much back and forthing there.

I know Lindsay and Tobias were always bad parents but they were REALLY bad. Like, really really. At least they used to pretend to care?

And and UM, there's definitely more, good and not so good, But I marathoned this thing all afternoon as my reward for cleaning the house in the morning, and I'm so tired. I feel like I'm gonna crash tomorrow, the low from today's constant high, but I don't care.

Arrested Development came back and it was good.

Porn! Is it possible to have another wanking fest just for this gif, because daaaaamn.

Colin! With the hair! And YET ANOTHER Death Cab shirt! And the baggy jeans! AND SOCK FEET! And, true story, every time I see the picture with the character artwork in the background and the shirtless person that MIGHT! POSSIBLY? !! be him? I wrap my arms around myself, let the gentle Autumn breeze catch in my hair and, staring into the distance, I utter unto the universe, "please". Shirtless!Colin prayercircle, fandom, c'mon. We can make it happen if we BELIEVE.

Arrested Development! MAY 26 MAY 26 MAY 26. WHO'S EXCITED? I'm rewatching the series in preparation, but if you don't have time before the new season, this should get you there -

Community! It's been kind of ordinary, right? :( There's been a couple of jokes that have been as good as ever, but for the most part, it hasn't really had me laughing.

Vikings! LAGERTHA, MY LIGHT, MY LOVE *__________* And also -starts threesome chant-. PLZ.

Discussion! So, it's been a few months since Merlin ended and I know a lot of us are still sad, and it got me thinking a bit about Merlin and how he'd be feeling. So my question for you is, in canon, three months on (now almost four), where do you think Merlin is? Emotionally, physically. Basically, what's your Merlin headcanon for the months after Arthur dies?

In which I have feelings

2012-12-28T16:17:59Z

Right. So.

The Merlin finale.

I'm never going to forgive them for killing Arthur. I don't like that they went that way and I won't ever like it. It might have been one thing to have seen a golden age first. It might have been another to have been given some hope at the end, a ripple in the water when old Merlin walks past, even.

But what I was left with at the end (personally, I know other people feel different, and being told that he'll return ~someday is what I've been holding onto), was just extreme, extreme bitterness. Merlin fails. Some of it could even be argued as to being his fault in the first place. He went through ten years of heartbreak, of lies and secrecy, of death. For what? I L-O-V-E Arthur, but three-ish years of sorta peace do not a greatest-king-ever make. And then Merlin is left to wander the world alone for 1500+ years? Fuuuuck that. That's beautiful and tragic in its own right, but I wasn't watching for that show. Here's the thing about me - I don't watch movies about disasters or terminal illness because I hate being sad, I hate it, I'm sad enough in my real life, entertainment needs to be an escape for me. And this was the last thing I expected from a ridiculous, terribly written - albeit fun - family program.

Maybe that's my fault. You know what they say about assumptions. But have we not had that drilled into us from day one - Arthur will be the greatest King, Arthur will unite the lands, DESTINY DESTINY FATE GREATEST KINGDOM EVAHHH? And if the dragon was not, in fact, referring to this time around, then what was the point of ever warning Merlin about Mordred? Or Morgana?

I don't understand.

And I realise the folly of trying to make sense out of a show that cared about common sense and plot continuity about as much as I cared for Gaius.

But I'm just thoroughly, thoroughly heartbroken.

The positive just boils down to Colin Morgan and Bradley James, really, now doesn't it? I don't think they were perfect all the way through, and the fucking positions they had to lay in (not to mention Bradley being forced to stay in that armor) didn't help things. But the magic reveal scene was possibly the best acting I've seen them do together in the whole series? The way Merlin could barely get the words out. The way Arthur looks horrified and SICK at the realisation he has no idea who this person in front of him is, after all, but he can't go anywhere and he can't hit anything or scream, so he just has to look away and try to hold in his emotions, AHHHH. And then the slow build of him realising that, actually, he does know him - it's the same Merlin, the same one he's loved for a long time - he's just done a lot more for Arthur than Arthur ever realised.

And now I have to stop talking or I will cry again.

For the fourth day running.

2012-11-04T00:18:33Z

I think this is going to be one of those eps where I need to focus on the positives in order to remind myself not everything is shit, so...

AHHHH Mordred is so precious

The Knights ribbing him omg you dicks <33333

AHHHHHHHHH Arthur getting in on the action too, "I trust your breeches are on inside out too" OMG STOP <3333

Merlin and Mordred's talk by the grave WOW

"I haven't seen you smile these past three days" lkashdhlsadlhfhkle wety9ue hflj TRY TO CARE LESS, ARTHUR, I DARE YOU

Oh man, I got shivers when the Disir spoke, I really liked the dialogue

Vlavla's chest hair AHHHH you adorable baby lynx

OH FUUUUCK, COLIN'S ACTING. THAT STUPID BUILD UP MUSIC TOO, ARRRRGH, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A PERFECT REVEAL

Ok, so it was one of those eps I hate, those everything-will-turn-to-shit-and-it's-Merlin's-fault eps, but I didn't find it as bad as some people are finding it? Apart from the last two minutes, I actually quite enjoyed it. Idk idk. If I think about it for more than two minutes, I start to get deep and that's when things turn sour, so lalala, pretty people, excellent acting, silent pleading we never see Arthur's death onscreen, amen.

In which I forgot what day it was

Odin, grrrl, do you not get pigeon mail? Working with Morgana never ever works. Literally ever. You might get a day or two where you think everything is going to be okay, but it's not. It's not.

"It's...not unpleasant." AND SO BEGAN THEIR EXPERIMENTATION OF DOM!MERLIN.

CMORG FOREARMS OH SWEET MERCY

The passion between Arthur and Gwen. LIKE A COOL, INDIFFERENT BREEZE.

YEAH OKAY ARTHUR, RIIIIGHT. And how many times has Merlin's "funny feelings" been right?

"Two legs, two arms, my own teeth." If only we could say the same about the actor.

Aww, I feel bad about that joke, sorry Bradders. I hope your new fancy teeth give you self esteem up the wazoo <3333

Katie's old woman voice is fabulous in some scenes and comical in others.

"God knows I understand why you hate him." Superb delivery there.

GOSH, THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER.

Lol at Leon's face. Bet you he's thinking Merlin needs to give Arthur a good poetry lesson right now.

Damn, that rock thing would have actually been a good plan of Mithian's if it had worked.

"I'm not sure my heart can take it." MAKE HIM DO IT AGAIN, MERLIN, PLEASE.

That was close, Gwaine, if that soldier had turned any further he would have pissed on your shoe.

"No! I want to do this myself." And I'm sure that will turn out wonderfully for you.

Holy shit, son, Bradley in this scene, WOW.

I guess it did turn out well for Odin, huh.

I'm too lazy for bingo this week, but offhand it was pretty poor, right?

In which I'm not necessarily a year wiser

2012-10-26T14:02:43Z

It was my birthday yesterday, hurray, huzzah, etc. I was reasonably excited this year, I'm not sure why. Usually I just want to hide in a corner and pretend it's not happening. But I had an okay time. Went to the doctor in the morning, but nothing happened there so it wasn't too bad. Had to go for an xray and blood test today though. Blood tests are always super unfun, my veins are turds and it always takes the nurse several tries to find a vein that wants to give blood. But anyway, results next week, eep.

But back to my birthday, I got the new ipod touch and it has barely left my hand since. I like having a camera and the internet in my fingers at all times. Speaking of that combo, I joined instagram, my username is trussed if you want to follow me. My last upload is a pic of meatballs okay, if that isn't a solid advertisement I don't know what is. (Just let me know who you are please or I won't follow you back.)

My family took me out to lunch and I had some DIVINE pumpkin and feta arancini, oh my gosh, I wanted to eat it for the rest of my life.

I forgot to take a pic at the start of the meal, I was too mesmerised when it arrived at the table *__*

Then we went to Max Brenner's for dessert because it's supposed to be chocolate paradise but it was craaaap, I was totally disappointed. How could something chocolatey let me down? HOW?

And that was pretty much my day. Gosh, I'm 27 now. Motherfucker.

Hope you're all well ♥

In which Percival had an axe-ident

2012-10-21T12:15:30Z

- It was cute but then I guess everything is going to look like filler if it's not related to the Mordred arc?

- So, like, Uther watches over Arthur and sees him marrying a servant and knighting commoners, but he doesn't notice the 46762167461999974463 times Merlin's used magic in front of Arthur's (generally unconscious) face? I guess maybe he doesn't "watch over" so much as "check in periodically"?

- That possible plot hole bothered me a little but I was having fun until about the last 10 minutes, when I felt like they could have done so much more. I definitely needed more out of the Merlin/Uther interaction, I wanted Merlin to tear that blue butthead a new one. And I wanted more from Arthur afterwards, more anger at his father.

- The first Uther/Arthur scene was perfect though, oh god the Arthur feels ;__;

- My favourite part of the ep was Leon being boring at the round table meeting OMG ♥

- Love how evident it is now just how far the Arthur/Merlin friendship has come. UGH, that bit where Merlin calls Arthur an arrogant ass just to get a rise out of him and the look he makes after when he sees it doesn't work. They're both just so comfortable with each other. I mean, we've known this forever, but it really stood out in this ep.

- COLIN'S FOREARMS.

- FUCKING POETRY OMG. Whenever you're feeling bad about this show from now on, just watch Leon and remember that every time he looks at Merlin and Arthur, he's picturing them doing poetry. Whatever that means.

- FISTING WHAT WHAT WHAAAAT, OH SHOW <3

- So disappointed we haven't seen Arthur's boobies yet.

Bingo results:

Will also accept M/A staring into each other's eyes for longer than necessary.

Damn, show. Switching things UP. I like that even when we lose at bingo, we win.

I wanted to check in with you guys though, because I'm not quite on board with some.

- Merlin reveals his magic deliberately. To Uther in this ep. Do we count it? Or should it be only for Arthur or Merlin's friends?

- Morgana feels an emotion that isn't evil. For Mordred when they reunite in 5x2.

- Percival wears bicep-covering clothes. In this ep at the round table. You all saw sleeves, right? Idk though, it's so quick, I feel like it should be a longer scene.

- Merlin tells Arthur the whole truth about something. In this ep, about Uther's ghost. But to be fair, Arthur was actively involved and the only one who could fix it, he didn't really have a choice then... Thoughts?

- Friendly creature. Bad touch alien from 5x1/2.

In which I think I got bingo

2012-10-13T23:09:12Z

Previously on Merlin: Yep. Yep. That alien thing actually happened.

Ohh, for some reason I had it in my head that Aithusa was abused by Morgana. Being trapped with her by Buffalo Bill is better, I guess.

Did that bad guy just halt the entire traveling party to get off his horse and punch Arthur? Also: would that not hurt a lot? Punching someone wearing chainmail? Do you think he had a traumatic childhood and this is what makes him act out as an adult? This show makes me think such deep thoughts.

Merlin holding onto Arthur's arm <333

All that sezual tenshun between Merlin and Mordred *____* Wake up Arthur, you're missing the fun.

Lol, I still can't with that alien. Someone escaped from the set of Coneheads 2.

AWW MAN, prime cuddling weather and Merlin has to stay awake.

UGH, my stream just lost picture, I've got sound but a grey screen. HOW WILL I KNOW IF I GET BINGO?

Ok, phew, it's back. I only missed potential bosom heaving from Morgana.

Ugh. Gaius' wig. I can't get over it, I'm sorry.

Do you think that big crack in the ice is symbolic of buttsex and the hurdle they had to get over in order to be comfortable with their sexuality? Deep thoughts, I'm telling you.

Now sezual tenshun between Arthur and Mordred, can't wait for the fic, people!

"I love your optimism." Arthur said I love you, the letters are all there, it counts.

I don't know about you guys, but I know if I woke up half-naked, disorientated, staring at a creature I've never before seen in my life, "you have nothing to fear" would be just the thing I needed to hear.

Gwaine's threshhold for waking up next to weird things is probably pretty high though, tbh.

Gosh, Liam Cunningham is so sexy. Roundhouse kick that guard, baby!

Okay, Gwen, great plan and all, but you might want to have guards posted AT THE READY if you're expecting a rescue attempt.

But WHY DOES MORGANA WEAR SHOES TO BED.

Lol, the glee Arthur has at Merlin's complaints <3

Ahaha, Merlin constantly trying to clean himself as they continue to break in.

Omg Morgana/Mordred reunion, look how happy they are <333

LOL, I so love that they're shirtless but it's so cold they're breathing fog. Morgana has a hard nipple kink y/y?

MAN. Vlahos in that dinner scene.

"What was that?" AND THE SUSPICIOUS WAY HE LOOKS AT GWAINE, LIKE, DUDE, REALLY? YOU WILL HIT ANYTHING IF YOU STANDS STILL FOR LONG ENOUGH, WON'T YOU?

HEE, Percival and his merry band of shirtless men.

Colin looked so beautiful in the Aithusa scene ;___;

OMG HE STABBED HER? A rock to the head, sure, but stabbing seems a bit harsh, doesn't it?

WOULD YOU COUNT THAT AS ARTHUR BEING UNCONSCIOUS? IF SO, THAT'S BINGO, BABY.

Omg alien, have you not heard of personal space :|

Arthur is his own bane, that's so depressing.

Next week: DADDY ISSUES \o/

EDIT: I will also accept heaving bosom - Morgana and the boys insulting each other. I'm so tired this morning, I might have even missed a Gwaine hair flip.

AH, SEE, ARTHUR SENT A SEARCH PARTY JUUUST TO BE SAFE.

I. DON'T. UNDERSTAND. HOW DID GAIUS' WIG GET THE OKAY FROM ANYONE IN PRODUCTION? DID I SAY IN PRODUCTION, I MEANT 'WITH EYES'.

"IF YOU NEED HELP WITH ANYTHING...LET ME KNOW." THIS GUY. SO SMOOTH.

LOOOOL, THAT IS THE MOST CONTRIVED SHIRTLESS SCENE. GOD, I HAVE MISSED THIS SHOW. BUT ANYWAY, SHIRTLESS KNIGHTS, MARK IT OFF ON YOUR BINGO CARDS, KIDS.

NO. NO. NONONONONONONOOONON DO NOT WANT TO SEE ARTHUR'S DEATH EVEN IN VISIONS.

MERLIN CRIES, ANOTHER BINGO SQUARE.

"IT IS YOU AND YOU ALONE THAT CAN KEEP ARTHUR SAFE." SOOO, NO PRESSURE OR ANYTHING, RIGHT?

DYING BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT COLIN REALLY DID SOME OF THAT JUGGLING.

SOMEONE THINKS WEARING A CLOAK MAKES THEM IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AT NIGHT, BINGO SQUARE.

ARTHUR AND MERLIN STARE INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES FOR LONGER THAN NECESSARY, BINGO SQUARE.

BUTTS TOUCHING. THAT IS NOT A BINGO SQUARE BUT IT SHOULD BE.

ARTHUR COVERS MERLIN'S MOUTH WITH GLOVED HANDS, THIS SHOULD, AH, ALSO BE A THING.

GOT MY POPCORN READY FOR ALL THE TIMES FANDOM IS GONNA CALL GWEN A BITCH FOR DOING HER JOB AS QUEEN. CAN'T WAIT. sigh.

BUT FOR REALS, SHE WAS AWESOME. YOU CAN TELL ANGEL IS LOVING HAVING STUFF TO ACTUALLY WORK WITH.

You guys. This fic.

Them Gods Gonna Hurt You, Son by skellerbvvt
NC-17, ~137k, Merlin/Arthur (main)

For the longest time Arthur and Merlin couldn’t even find an example of another same-dynamic soulbond, much less any particular reason why it happened. So they resolved themselves to learning how to live with it, and learning how to keep that big of a secret. (BDSM AU)

I have never quite lost myself so deeply or emotionally in an AU like I have with this one.

I want to study this fic. I want to take lectures in Arthur-feelings. I want textbooks expanding on the academia and psychology mentioned throughout. I want to sit in a tiny bookshop and listen to the author field questions about minor characters' backgrounds. I want people on the Internet to condescendingly explain all the things I wasn't smart enough to understand.

I want.

I want another 130k.

Despite being set in a foreign universe where sexuality is not the same as it is here, the injustices all have a ring of familiarity. Scattered throughout the story are cleverly written excerpts from their pop culture, mythologies, religious and academic texts that serve to illustrate just how different our universes really aren't. Society there pounds the same rubbish into their heads as it does into ours - that there is a 'right' way to be and a 'wrong' way. It'll break your heart a bit, both for the characters and in recognising their struggles in yourself or others around you.

The characterisations are superb and nuanced. Merlin is quirky and loveable and LOVING and in tune with everything. And this is the most interesting Arthur I think I've ever read. Oh god, he's going to leave you shattered. He's beautiful and angry and broken and startlingly, heartbreakingly relatable.

All in all, it's just a really fascinating, rich journey. Have patience with it - don't go looking for plot. Here, the story is in the world.

Here, the story IS the people.

Teen Wolf finale

No one died.

I'm a little disappointed.

I should be happy about that. I mean, technically I am. But, like, I had prepared my heart for death and pain. It doesn't know what to do now. What is this happiness thing I'm feeling, WHAT IS IT GET IT OFF ME.

I guess the important thing is that it meant JACKSON DIDN'T DIE \o/

But then, Gerard didn't either.

Next season, Gerard. Next season.

Maybe he'll be ripped apart by the NEW PACK OF ALPHAS OOHH~~

What are your thoughts, how are we feeling about this? I just want to know if there's a hierarchy between them. Is there an alpha of the alphas? Does this make the others beta alphas? How do they feel about that? Or is this a pack with general lawlessness? /chinhands

They better not hurt the baby betas though.

Speaking of bb betas...JACKSON LAKJD:LFDHNALKJS; Can't wait to see how much of a douchebag he becomes next season <333 A d-bag with hidden manpain of course. I really want to see him suffer with guilt.

I really loved Scott this season.

OH. OH. You know who was perfect this ep? Peter. I don't want to like him. I don't. But I am powerless against sass. I mean, was every single line out of his mouth tonight just perfect or what?

The rest: glad Allison finally saw reason but I'm also glad she and Scott broke up, girl needs time to work through all this shit. Lydia was perfect. Derek was Derek. The Stilinski family give me feelings, what a shocker, news at 11. Deaton - who the fuck ARE you?

Impossible hope for next season: Scott/Issac. I want it.

In which ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

TEEN WOLF 2x11

I'm sore everywhere now because I sat through that episode with everything clamped, like, what even was that tension? I WAS WORRIED ABOUT EVERYONE. How can a show about ACTUAL TEEN WEREWOLVES be this captivating? IDK. I. DON'T. KNOW.

First, I just have to ask - does anyone think Allison might be next season's big bad? She was so cold :(

I didn't even have enough time to get upset about Jackson before they showed the kanima in next week's preview. So glad he's not dead but what if it was a fake out and next week they're like looook, he's not dead, see, he was killed but we brought him back and then BAM, he's dead for reals by the end of the ep? Yeah, I'm worried about that stupid quote from Colton. DAMN YOU AND YOUR FANTASTIC EYEBROWS, SIR.

UGH. Isaac at the vet's. That whole scene made me cry. The poor, sick dog. The way Isaac trusts Scott. ISAAC'S FACE.

The whole opening scene with Stiles was brilliant and perfect and I looooved the counsellor preparing him for what's to come. KEEP GOING, STILES. KEEP GOING.

Speaking of: NOOOOOOOO, Gerard (I assume) took Harry Potter's Wheezy. Give Stiles back ;____; I was so worried for Stiles towards the end there. He was too happy scoring all those goals, you know?

PAPA STILINSKI CHEERING FOR HIS KID ;______; #feelinskis

OH MY GOD, COACH'S SPEECH. I knew what it was from straight away and I pumped my fist in the air, no lie.

I perhaps have less sympathy for Derek than I know some people on my flist do, but I did feel bad that his pack left him, if not somewhat confused as to why? And now Peter is in his ear and that can't be good. All I want is for Peter to go away and for everyone to be one big happy pack, including Stiles, Lydia and Allison as the badass humans. And then they solve crimes. That none of them have committed.

I say this every week but please die painfully, Gerard.

In which yes this is a thing that's happening

TEEN WOLF

MAMA ARGENT! PILLS SHMILLS, I'LL TAKE THE KNIFE? GRRRRL.

You have to give the show props for going through with that storyline, I'll admit I fully expected them to do the old fake-her-death-but-really-hide-her-until-a-major-reveal-at-a-later-date.

I thought the dialogue between her and her husband was brilliant. I’ll tell them it was the hardest thing you ever did. UUUUGH.

FUCK GRANDPA ARGENT. FUCK HIM.

AND CRYSTAL. SHE WAS SO GREAT IN THE HOSPITAL. SO GREAT.

STILES' HALLUCINATION. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. #FEELINSKIS

OH. ISAAC. A BOY WITH SO MUCH REASON TO HATE AND YET HE STILL CHOOSES LOVE.

PETER OMAGAWWWD.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO UNDERSTANDING HOW MATT IS THE MASTER?

IF LYDIA OR JACKSON DIE, I WILL LOSE ALL ABILITY TO CAN. JS.

ERICA. DAMN RIGHT SHE CAN HANDLE MORE THAN THE BOYS. *BOOB BUMP*

STILES GOT DIGITS AT THE GAY CLUB. STILES. GOT DIGITS. AT THE GAY CLUB.
