Riverdale S2 Finale
Look I really liked the majority of the episode, the north and south side came together, it was great. But when it came to Hiram Lodge, I was really hoping he would be killed off. He has too much power where he’s not even a fun villain anymore. They can't have the theme of Archie as a criminal stretch for 24 episodes. And now I have to flipping wait

Idk if I'm the only aro-spec person who is like this, but I need to talk about it bc it's been on my mind so much lol
So, like...in general, I have a complicated relationship with romance. In fiction (books/movies/tv/fanfic), I only really like queer romance. Two guys? All for it! Two girls? All for it! NB person with someone else? All for it! Granted, there will always be exceptions and romance stories that I prefer more than others, but by large, I tend to enjoy most queer romance stories that I consume. HOWEVER, for some strange reason, when it comes to straight romance stories, I almost always get squicked out or uncomfortable!! AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHYYYY!!! Like, it could be nearly identical to a queer romance story, but I would still be uncomfy if it was heterosexual, and I don't know why!!!!!!
When it comes to irl romance, I'm usually either indifferent or uncomfortable with it, no matter if it's queer or straight. Like, I can usually handle it, unless they're full on like making out or smth, then obviously, I'm extremely uncomfy and averse, but if it's casual, then it's just whatever.
But, honestly, I don't know what my deal is with the fictional romance!! I've even forced myself to like some straight romance in the past, but it's always SO forced.
So, yeah, that's how I feel. Can anyone else relate, or is it just me??
Okay I need some help, I am trying to find websites to watch some of my shows like Medici and teen wolf and stuff like that but I can’t find any can you guys please help
Does anyone else feel like most people in EVERY FANDOM seem to not be able to separate the quality of a piece of media and their personal opinion.
Like, they say "the show is bad because something I wanted to happen didn't", "the show is bad because I don't like/can't relate to the characters", "the character I like didn't get enough protagonism", "the show is bad because it's woke". The same with movies, book, and videogames.
Bad writting =/= I didn't like it. Why is that so hard to understand?

Pumpkin Shaped Dinner Rolls
"On Halloween night, the Great Pumpkin rises from his pumpkin patch and flies through the air with his bag of toys to [give to] all the children." - Linus, It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
Happy Halloween everyone! I’ve been a huge fan of Charlie Brown for as long as I can remember. Every year, my family watches the specials on TV and I must have read each volume in my grandmother’s massive collection at least three times.
So, when I saw this tumblr post late last year, I knew exactly what I wanted to make for Halloween this year… but with a twist! After some trial and error, I’ve found a way to add cinnamon/pumpkin spice sugar to these rolls while avoiding a massive pocket of it.
So, grab your fall-themed drink of choice and check out below for how to make a batch of these delicious pull-apart dinner rolls for yourself! The great pumpkin may just pay you a visit for your troubles…
(Based on the post by Chef John from All Recipes and the tumblr post linked above.)
Prep: 20 mins Cook: 3 hrs Total: 3 hrs 20 mins
Ingredients:
1 cup (240 ml) milk, warm
1 packet (2 ½ tsp, 6.5 g) active dry yeast
1 tbsp. (15 ml) honey
4 tbsp. (57 g) butter, melted
1 tsp (6 g) salt
2 ¾ cup (345 g) all-purpose flour, plus ¼ cup (30 g) more for dusting
Kitchen string cut into 12 32-inch long pieces
Vegetable oil
Pour in the warm milk, yeast, honey, and butter into a large bowl and stir to combine (top-left).
Next, add the salt and the 2 ¾ cups of flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour until a shaggy, sticky dough forms (top-right).
Turn the sticky dough out onto a clean, lightly floured work surface and knead the dough until it becomes smooth, elastic, and is no longer sticky, about 10 minutes.
Form the dough into a rough ball shape by tucking in the sides. Lightly coat a medium or large bowl with vegetable oil and transfer the dough seam-side down (top-left).
Cover the bowl with lightly greased plastic wrap or a dish cloth and let rise until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 ½ hours (top-right).
Meanwhile, prepare two baking trays with parchment paper or reusable silicon liners.
TIP: I found that only about 3 tsp (8 g) of the reserved dusting flour spread out onto the board was needed to keep the dough workable without the buns becoming dense.
TIP: Remember from the video, you’ll know the dough has been kneaded enough when it springs back after being lightly pressed and you can stretch out a piece the dough like a windowpane without it ripping. The windowpane should also be able to support the weight of the rest of the piece of dough without ripping.
Once the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto your clean work surface and knead it a few times to bring it back together.
Next, either cut the dough in half and divide each half into six even wedges or divide the dough into 50g - 55g portions using a kitchen scale.
Knead each portion a little and then pull in the edges of the dough to create a ball (like the big dough ball). Secure the its shape by placing the ball seam-side down on the work surface and gently rolling it with the palm of a clawed hand, for about 10 seconds.
Once the smaller dough balls have been formed, place them seam-side down on the prepared baking tray, cover, and let rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the pieces of kitchen string in bowl and toss them with a generous amount of vegetable oil.
NOTE: Do not move onto the next step without this first rest. The dough will expand way too much around the string if you wrap it immediately.
Optional addition to this step:
If you’d would like slightly sweeter rolls to dip in coffee or tea, you can add some cinnamon/pumpkin spice sugar after kneading the measured portions and before shaping the rolls.
First, roll the dough flat and spread ~⅛ tsp. of the sugar mixture on one half (top left). Then, fold in half so the sugar mixture is covered and spread another ~⅛ tsp. on half of the folded dough (top right).
Fold in half again and follow the shaping instructions above to seal the rolls.
NOTE: If you put ¼ tsp. of the sugar mixture in the middle of the rolled dough and shape it from there, the mixture will not be evenly distributed throughout the dough - you’ll just get a dry sugar bomb in the middle of the roll.
After letting them rest, working one roll at a time, place the end of one piece of string on the seam-side of the roll with enough of an overhang to tie a double knot latter, ~2 inches (5 cm).
Wrap the string around the dough so eight sections are created. Unlike the tumblr video in the intro, I wrap the string around the dough in one motion (no crisscrossing or twisting strings).
The string should be secure but loose enough that it isn’t pressing much on the dough before the knot is tied.
Once wrapped, double knot the string so there is enough pressure to form small indents and return the roll to the baking tray knot-side down (which should also be seam-side down).
Cover and let rest for an additional 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375॰F (190॰C) with the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
TIP: Any adjustments to the placement of the string should be made before the knot is tied. The string is virtually unmovable at that point.
TIP: If you’re choosing to add the sugar mixture, set a 15 minute timer once you’ve shaped the first roll. Depending on how long it takes to get through all the dough, you may be able to start wrapping the string around the rolls as soon as you finish shaping the last one.
Sift a little bit of flour on top of each roll (top left).
Bake until the rolls have lightly browned and sound hollow when knocked, about 20 to 25 mins (top right).
Once the rolls have cooled enough to handle, cut the strings off of each roll from the bottom. Slowly and carefully unwrap each roll, removing any strands of string that get stuck.
NOTE: It might have been the string I was using, but I found a lot of little strands were left behind as I unwrapped the rolls. The best solution for this I found was:
Not to wring out any of the vegetable oil from the string when I took it from the bowl and,
Have my finger directly behind the string as it slowly peeled away from the roll to help all the little strands come off.
You’ll probably still need to go in an remove some from where the knot was tied, but this should get rid of most of them.
Finally, cut one or two cinnamon sticks into ¾ inch (2 cm) pieces and press one into the tops of each roll to create the stems.
TIP: To cut the cinnamon sticks, use a steak knife to make a small groove and then snap them at that mark. It’ll really save the durability of your knives. Use long sawing motions instead of short ones.
Voilà, your very own pumpkin dinner rolls! Overall, I would give these a 4.5/5 for the regular ones and a 4/5 for the sugar mixture ones - not because of the taste, but for the process.
Cutting the string, soaking them in oil, plus the wrapping, tying, and unwrapping nearly drove me insane each time. I would recommend making these, especially the sugar mixture ones, with a friend. The extra hands (and jokes) will go a long way.
In the end, although they were a little awkward to make, they were definitely a fun way to get into the spirit of the season (and flex on everyone /j)!
I think I'll do more comics in future to practice, lokius or hilson maybe (◍•ᴗ•◍)
I finally finished it yay ☆(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*

My thoughts on
The Midnight Club (2022)
I just finished watching The Midnight Club last night and couldn't help feel how it was like a beautiful work of art left unfinished. When I started the show, I was really impressed by the way the foundation was laid but several things were left unexplained but we'll get there later.
First off, let's talk about the true essence of the show; the stories. While I absolutely loved the way the characters expressed their unconscious/concious desires through the stories knowing that they wouldn't come true, that the future they paint will continue to remain trapped behind words, I couldn't help but feel that we could've been introduced to this world in a better way.
By the time we learn about Natsuki's story regarding the Japanese myth, it's already progressed into a "frenzy of jump scares" which completely ruined the atmosphere for me and I found myself wanting it to be over as soon as possible.
The next thing I wish to address is Ilonka's character. She is a complex teen who is unable to accept the terminal nature of her life and that she cannot be saved. Initially, I liked her drive to survive but as the episodes carry on, we see her completely lose herself in the desperate attempt to grasp what's left of her life. Her character itself had multiple flaws which were further enhanced by the fact that so many things about her were left unexplained.
Why was Ilonka having visions?
Was it because of her medication? Maybe. But it could also, be due to her being most open to the spiritual aspect of the place. She openly sought to achieve wellness through the nature and was engrossed by the past which might've manifested in the form of visions. Maybe her sharing these thoughts with Kevin was the reason for his own visions.
Another aspect of the show I really wanted to see were the stories coming together in the end (as we had in the haunting series) but was really underwhelmed. There were too many plot holes which raised a lot of questions.
Who is Dr. Georgina Stanton?
In the final episode, her ties to the Paragon are hinted at. I personally found myself drawing ties between her and Regina Ballard (Aceso). Regina, upon performing the ritual had lost her hair which kinda made me think if Stanton had also tried to do the same for her son (resulting in the loss of her hair, being the only survivor).
Who are the old ghosts?
This really got me scratching my head finding answers. Maybe they're yet again manifestations of the negative emotions arising in the kids but I'm not sure. Also, how is Kevin connected to the old woman and why does Ilonka keep seeing her where Kevin is?
All these are left unanswered which really irks the viewers to know more.
(I have not read the books and all my interpretations are solely based on the show)
god, I love the parasocial relationships I've got with the fake people in my phone <3

L'inconvénient quand tu (re)découvre une série sortie depuis plusieurs années, c'est que tu as qu'une envie, c'est d'aller dévorer les fanfictions MAIS faut attendre d'avoir fini pour pas de faire spoiler ! 😤
Rhaaa... la frustration ! 😭
So I was watching a show with my family, (its a CIA action comedy) and there was an episode where they had to send an agent to try to get invited to this person's place, so a honeytrap. (Basically where an espionage agent tries to get into a romantic or sexual relationship with a target to get information)
So, the agency thinks the target is female, named Nika, so they assign a male agent that has a lot of experience in that. (ew straight stuff in my canon he's bisexual) BUT! It is then revealed that there was a typo, and the target's name is Nik A.
Of course, I was thinking there'd be some gay flirting, because why not? So, the male agent tries to flirt with the target, but then figures out that he's straight. The agency then sends in a nearby female agent, and the story continues.
I was hoping for gay stuff but whatever another agent is canonically lesbian and is best buds with this male agent so I don't care my Queer Quotient (TM) has been satisfied!
I've been putting these show off for ages, whichever has the highest results is what I'm watching later tn/tomorrow
cartoons were wacky for making us believe this trope
south downs sketch
i’m a fan of the fact that crowley always waits for aziraphale to finish whatever he’s doing just to cuddle for hours
Me: ok, this show/manga/book I've started is really good, let's enjoy it without getting spoiler.
Tumblr, Pinterest, YouTube and all the social media in my phone: I don't think so! *Proceed to make appear all the spoilers in my fyp*
Anyway, I'm starting to watch The umbrella academy, and I'm super invested in it.
Ohhhh yeah, I’m jorkin it tonight…

Thank you for even considering to help make my silly little show come true.

What if we introduced an aro-ace character in the worst way possible. Like,one of the supporting characters (like Gus from the owl house) has a crush on another character,band they're oblivious for like a season/ book and a half, and it's the cutest thing that people obsess about, and when they finally confess their feelings, the other character is like "oh" in bad way,band say "umm... I'm aro-ace". And everybody is happy about inclusion, but also really sad about their favourite ship being sunk.
there’s something about tv shows created after the 2010s that isn’t right
Hey to my fellow New York or tristate area PJO fans, did anyone also wonder why Sally just didn’t move to the other boroughs? Like they were canonically poor and Manhattan is EXPENSIVE, for the apartment they had in the show or movie (we don’t talk about the movie) they could get a home in the other boroughs with two extra rooms for the same price. If you’re using the explanation of “oh Percy was kicked out of six schools” I know people who have done things similar to Percy and they still got into schools. He’ll be fine.
(Please tell me if there’s a canon explanation as to why and I just forgot, was it because of Grover? Well it can’t cause what about before Grover???)
SPOILERS FOR AGATHA ALL ALONG!!!
You know what would be so cool? If Tommy Shepherd, who unlike the comics, remembers his life as Tommy Maximoff, how heartbreaking would that be? You do everything to get your brother back and when he does come back he sees a version of you that you really are not anymore. With Tommy he recognizes his brother’s spirit but all those inside jokes and them being the only kids in Westview due to the hex. Tommy telling their memories but Billy doesn’t remember, so he feels kind of excluded.
DO YOU GET WHAT I MEAN???
(Also please continue to 🏴☠️ everything for the boycott)
"That's the only time folks treat you right: When you got something they want."
"But when I was sitting in jail, 1 realized that god gave me everything I wanted just so he could take it all away."
"No one is truly beautiful until they learn to love unselfishly. And those who receive such love are the richest people of all."
I liked both seasons of why women kill. Even though the first one is my favorite (mainly because of Beth Anne - I love her sm), I still liked the second one. Rita was such an interesting character to me.
She was so cruel and unkind, but became so different by the last episode. I love how much she grew and persevered. I think it’s admirable. I was sad to see her die in the show.
