Hetalian Phase Starting Again

I love my brain

I'm about to finish my Killer Klowns from Outer Space fanfiction featuring two protagonists.

And my brain just went, "Hey, you have other protagonists, why don't you throw them into different horror movies and write them!"

BUT my brain ALSO went, "After writing all of them, you should then throw every single one of your protagonists into the same story"

Thankyou brain. I appreciate your existence right now.

3 Fandoms I'm currently writing 3 fics for simultaneously.

VS

3 Fandoms I want to start writing 3 fics for simutaneously.

but I'm afraid if I start writing 6 fanfictions at once I'll burn out so fast that I stop writing all of them.

because I'm physically incapable of writing oneshots, so all my fanfictions are multichapter.

Do you think Duck and Clem would be a cute couple together, if they both survived this long? I ship em more often than the other repetitious Clementine has. Since he’s around her age. And if this was true, they’ve known each other since the first season.

I’m not the biggest Cluck (Duck x Clementine) fan but I do think if Duck had survived they’d work well together. In the AU I wrote of Duck surviving Katjaa was the one bit instead of Duck. Duck would be grieving and Clem could comfort him as Kenny drives the train. 

Doing research instead of writing? Boring Reading instead of writing? Lame Making moodboards for characters? Time consuming Making a playlist for your story? Too much effort.

Making memes that represent parts of your story? Always.

(basically I just finished a chapter of a story I've had so much fun writing and started making memes about different parts of the story)

Spoiler for Umbrella Academy Season 3. TW, mention of SA.

Am I the only one who really disliked Allison in this season?

Like yeah, she was grieving because of her daughter not existing in the timeline, but her actions throughout the season pissed me off. She was just such a bitch and for what though? We technically can’t even blame Harlan for what happened. Even if he didn’t kill their mothers, they wouldn’t have been adopted by Reginald since he willingly chose other kids because he realised that “his selection was poor” and chose stronger kids. So even if that Allison did survive, it’s possible that she may not have met Patrick and had Claire in the first place. 

And the fact that Allison turned so fast on Viktor and constantly kept trying to pick fights (COUGH COUGH at the wedding COUGH) and nearly killed him. Like yeah, technically Viktor was sort of responsible for giving Harlan powers unintentionally, resulting in their mothers deaths and Allison not existing in that timeline but Viktor had no idea that he even gave Harlan powers in the first place. 

And don’t even get me started on what the fuck happened between Allison and Luther this season. What happened in that scene between them was borderline SA. Allison uses her powers to make Luther stay to have sex with her. And people may argue that she just wanted him to stay and not go with the enemy, but what does, “I heard a rumour that; you want me“ imply? She’s grieving; but that’s no excuse for her actions. I know they were together, but Luther has moved on with Sloane, just like Allison had with Raymond. Edit: She almost acts surprised when he doesn’t stop after she says to stop. The dude is under her power!

Other than Allison being a huge dick throughout the entire season. I enjoyed it a lot, especially Klaus being able to gain more control of his power and finding out that he’s immortal was fascinating. I’m really excited for season 4, I want to find out what happens now that they have no powers. 

Scream VI - SPOILER ALERT

Just watched Scream VI and I loved it!

I’m not gonna talk about everything, I just wanted to write my thought process for significant moments. 

When Bailey told Sam that Kirby hadn’t worked at the FBI for months, I was like, “Oh shit, maybe Kirby really is ghostface”. 

Because everytime I saw a fan theory of Kirby being the killer, I immediately dismissed them. It would make literal ZERO sense for Kirby to be the killer, because she would literally have no logical motive.

But as soon as I saw the double ghostface attack on Chad, along with the in sync knife swipe, I was kind of hoping it would be Stu AND Kirby. The brief moment between Kirby and Mindy, mentioning Stu’s supposed death really made me hope Matthew Lillard had returned. 

Again, it made no sense for Kirby to be the killer, but I was really starting to hope it was her. What we got in the end was good too though.

Also really glad you could actually trust the love interest in this film, “Cute guy” is so nice together with Sam. She deserves a sane boyfriend.

Chad and Tara are suuuuuuper cute together. I’ve seen some comments about the trailer, talking about Chad and Tara possibly getting together where they didn’t like it. I think I saw some talking about how Tara and Wes should’ve gotten together. But I love them together, so glad he lived.

When I first watched scream (2022), I was able to guess the ghostfaces correctly. (Amber and Richie’s ‘first’ meeting in the hospital made it super obvious). I never guessed Quinn cause she was ‘dead’. Everyone making Ethan out to be the killer was so funny, I never really thought of him actually being the killer. I was sort of suspicious of Bailey though. When he was crying about Quinn in the alley way, I kinda thought it was an underreaction. I mean, both of your kids are dead. My thoughts during this scene were, “What if he’s just pretending?” 

Also, while Bailey, Ethan and Quinn were doing their monologue, the majority of the time I was thinking, “Would this count as three ghostfaces or two?”

Logically, it’d only be two, because Ethan and Quinn actually did the killings and were wearing the costumes. 

Quick edit: Really glad they mentioned all the ghostfaces. Especially when Kirby was looking at Jill’s outfit. 

Mindy Meeks-Martin

I know a lot of people believe that Mindy is going to die during the train scene cause she’s the one that gets grabbed by Ghostface and pushed against the wall then it cuts off. 

I can admit that I was one of those people. 

But after watching the newest trailer that just released like 2 hours ago, I don’t believe Mindy is going to die in the train. My biggest theory right now is that the ghostface who grabs Mindy is just doing it to get a scare out of her. The ladder scene in the latest trailer seems like an end of the movie moment to me personally. Like it’s all dramatic and then it leads up to the big reveal, like every other Scream movie.

I hope Mindy and Chad are endgame though, I was really happy they survived in scream (2022).

Also wouldn’t it be nuts if the train scene is the closing moment of the movie and it just cuts off with Mindy getting grabbed and the credits roll. (REALLY UNLIKELY THO)

This just my opinion btw. :)

They’re the same picture. 

I'm 1000% convinced they made Jim the one who gave the answer to Tabitha and Jade just so they could make him more likeable.

Shauna Shipman - The true evil.

SEASON 3 SPOILERS

Before you keep reading, please do not try and rebuttal this post with, "You just don't understand a complex character."

I can understand the complexity of a character, and still dislike them.

During season 3, I became a Shauna Shipman hater and began wishing on her down fall, and it was genuinely infuriating to me watching her fall from my top 3 down to the very bottom. I went into season 3 loving teen Shauna AND adult Shauna (Melanie Lynskey stan btw).

I understood Shauna's anger and resentment towards the group in the beginning of the season. Shauna has arguably been through the most trauma out in the wilderness, with her going through a teen pregnancy, only for it to result in a stillborn (especially after having such vivid dreams of the baby being alive and her nursing him) and losing her bestfriend who she both loved and resented and having to eat her, with their last words shared with one another being an argument.

So when I found out that the others were literally praying to the spirit of her deceased baby (and Jackie), I was gob smacked. I stayed on the Shauna Ship because if that was me, I would've been pissed too. And Akilah trying to give Shauna a "special crown" because she's the mother was so disrespectful. I love Akilah, but I have to side with Shauna on this one. It was messed up, and I do not blame Shauna for moving the burial site without telling anyone.

But then the beef with Mari happened. I do get it, Mari was being a huge bitch, which wasn't really a huge surprise if you've watched the past two seasons. But literally spitting in Mari's food and then lying about it was crazy disrespectful, especially because food is a rarity for them. And then showing literally no care when Mari went missing. Someone pointed out that they think that Mari and Shauna beef originated in season 1 because Jackie used Mari to make Shauna jealous when they first went to the lake, and I believe it.

At this point in the season, I'm like, "Okay, Shauna's really derailing, but I can understand where her anger is coming from."

But then we have the trial of Coach Benjamin Scott. The way that Shauna resorted to intimidation to get the majority to vote to execute Ben was so frustrating. Everyone was conflicted and the vote was 50/50, UNTIL Shauna scared them. Which to be fair, if I was there, I probably would've voted to kill Ben, not because I believe that he was guilty, but because Shauna is literally terrifying. Especially the Achilles heel scene. Vile. Disgusting and disturbing.

Then Shauna gets crowned as leader, and my first thought was, "That is literally the worst choice you could've ever made, Lottie." Shauna is clearly not all their mentally right now and they've all been a first hand witness to her anger. Shauna is a terrible leader because she doesn't give a shit about the others, she hates all of them, which means she doesn't care about their safety and wellbeing, which is what a leader is supposed to do.

Don't even get me fucking started on Melissa being a devil on her shoulder at the start; "You feel that? That's power." Melissa pissed me off in the beginning, because she was literally throwing a whole forest onto the fire brewing inside of Shauna.

At this point in the show, I'm thinking, "Shauna is the worst, and it sucks that no one is saying anything about it."

But at that point, Shauna hasn't really done anything TOO crazy for anyone to be like, "This bitch is fucking crazy, she has to go."

Then the frog researchers show up. The way Shauna laughed and smiled her ass off when she witnessed the guy getting axed by Lottie, was genuinely pissing me off and disturbing. Also, I do not believe Shauna cared about Melissa's wellbeing when she got shot. The way she was so nonchalant about it did not seem genuine. Keeping Hannah's hair as a little fidget toy was a little weird, but not the weirdest thing they've done, so that gets a little pass.

Shauna choosing to stay infuriated me, but I could understand WHY she didn't want to leave. She's become accustomed to the wilderness. Her whole life revolved around Jackie, so what is her life going to look like without Jackie if she goes back to the real world? I believe her reason to stay was both fear and control. Shauna has all the power now. She's the leader. And she uses that to force the others to stay. And Natalie just letting her take the gun was so frustrating.

But the whole showdown between Shauna and Melissa was actually so fucked. I felt so bad for Melissa, because Shauna verbally berated her in front of everyone, shot at her and then smiled when Melissa wet herself.

At this point, Shauna has become irredeemable. She is thriving on violence and chaos, no matter where it is coming from and who it's directed at. You cannot convince me or tell me anything that could ever excuse that type of behavior, especially towards someone who Shauna is supposed to be in a relationship with (I used the word relationship loosely, btw). It's abuse.

At this point, I'm waiting for someone to humble her ass. Slap her back to reality or something.

And then, the finale happens. Mari gets the Queen, and Shauna shows no remorse or sadness. Mocking her by saying, "Tough break, Mar." and then laughing when Lottie starts counting. And if you notice, Shauna is literally the only person hunting Mari (which I made a whole separate post about). Watching the realisation on Shauna's face that 'Natalie' was actually Hannah, was so satisfying. It's almost as if the iron grip of control Shauna currently holds on the group begins to weaken before her eyes, especially when she turns and sees the others staring at her, fully aware of what has happened.

I loved Shauna Shipman in season 1 and 2, but she become a dictator in season 3. I could see where her anger and resentment towards the group originated from and even supported some of the actions she made BECAUSE of that resentment, but there are a lot of her actions that I cannot see reason to, other than doing malicious things without any real motive behind her actions, besides to enjoy watching people suffer.

(I am also aware of the racial discussion of cutting Mari's hair after her death. Not just that, but also how the show treats their POC characters in general. I've seen a lot of debates about this (Mari) and I do believe that there were some racist implications with choosing to use the hair of an indigenous person. I do think there is a difference between intent and how something is perceived. Just because the writers didn't intend for the scene to be offensive or racist, doesn't mean that it doesn't come off that way to their audience.)
