everyone shut up im being obsessed with david tennant again
If you don't think Kit unconsciously gunslinging his mic and Jack noticing it is the cutest shit you've ever seen, then, I don't know what to tell you.
one of my favorite things about dead boy detectives is that it doesn’t take its monsters too seriously because the monsters themselves aren’t the scary part - it’s the symbolism, the things they represent, that are truly scary. yeah, teeth face and the sprites and the demon that apologized for dragging edwin to hell are goofy because they’re not what we’re meant to be scared of. the real horrors are parental abuse, internalized homophobia, xenophobia, bullying, abusive relationships, stalking… i could go on and on. anyway this show is brilliant and i need 20 more seasons of it please and thank you
Every time i find a new adaptation of sherlock holmes stories Arthur Conan Doyle turns over in his grave to the sound of my cackles of joy
there is a soft space in my heart and it is filled with things like this
Also, secret life has the most references to past seasons especially to limited life. It’s almost like the clocker family never quite left, they still called each other mom, dad, son- Bdubs held on to the gripe about not being the favourite son. Cleo gave him the title, and they all laughed knowing that Scar would be upset. Almost every episode, they acknowledged the family in one way or another
The bad boys still helped each other out. The exchange of hearts and Joel calling it in the name of bad boys. He got tricked into completing Grian’s task in the beginning, but when the entire server was red later on- he didn’t hesitate to help Grian one last time. Even death didn’t separate them. Jimmy stuck around as a guardian angel, guiding one of his boys, laughing as they did ridiculous things- just like the old days. Every now and then, they remembered
The nosy neighbours didn’t forget each other. Although their interactions were rare, when they brought it up was special. Pearl tried apologizing to him (I can’t remember for what), Bigb says he doesn’t forgive her. Just like that, Pearl brings out her big sad wet eyes “but…nosy neighbours?” and Bigb immediately softens his voice and says he was joking. All is good between them. In the finale, Pearl sees him peeking out behind a wall. A fond, familiar sight. “Always watching?” Bigb shifts away and says it back “Always watching” they go their separate ways
I’m not sure if there were references to mean gills or team ties, but those other teams stood out strongly. And there were plenty more to double life, last life, 3rd life. It’s sorta strange, but in a welcoming way, to see more and more callbacks to previous teams. In a season where a huge part of the game mechanic is keeping a secret, in a series where past alliances are usually brushed aside, people leaned over to each other and went “hey, remember when…”
Has anyone done this yet
obsessed by how luxurious watson is in the boscombe valley mystery. the iconic red velvet smoking jacket. constantly a cigar in hand. the little shots of him pouring expensive-looking liqueurs. home boy went from a solo scrubby fishing trip to a lavish holiday probably because of holmes and i love how the production plays that up
joels chestplate is called “hides my bobs”. do with that info what you want
shots were fired
what if it’s called no life and joel wins because he spent nearly a third of 2023 playing minecraft
"We're sometimes here to help"
I relate to John Watson because I too feel like nothing I achieve is ever really that impressive compared to others even though I have a high level of education from a working class background and that feeling is unintentionally reinforced by my loved ones and family members
