So you think the bold type made a bad decision for the last relationship with Kat and her republican gf?

Well, I haven’t been watching in a while so I don’t really have particularly specific commentary. 

I think, from the level of writing I saw before, that they don’t really have the ability to handle a story like this? And I can’t disagree with Aisha that it seems a very OOC arc for Kat, especially after these last few years. For Jane or even Sutton, maybe, but even when–especially when they’ve made Kat a person who only recently is becoming more aware of these issues, that’s the kind of person who is actually almost MORE enthusiastically forming and sticking to certain principles, you know? But like, again, I could maybe see it as her departing from them anyway, for sheer attraction, and feeling conflicted over that, but I just don’t really trust this show to be able to handle that.

Oi. The 2×08 sneak peek for Warrior and the small spoiler? preview scene of Ah Toy x Nellie (-where AT tells blondie to run away when the goons show up.) That’s making me nervous but as you said, I’m not expecting a happy ending.

Ohhh, I hadn’t caught that earlier. Oh no…I mean, they already did a positive scene of Ah Toy and Nellie at her place in the brothel, if they’re returning there, it’s gonna be bad. The way Olivia Cheng has been promoting this season, I feel like Ah Toy will survive, but I’m super worried about Nellie. As it is right now, the high tension conflict for Ah Toy is kind of draining away, having a genuinely decent and importantly, rich and influential, white person on her side neutralizes the drama for her, she’ll always have a person to help her and retreat to and this kind of show just can’t exist like that, she may as well leave the show then and that’s not gonna happen. 

I just hope it’s something where their story can continue, even if it’s Nellie deciding (for now) that she disapproves of Ah Toy’s violent approach or something. Like I’ve said again and again, death ends the story completely, there’s no way back. 😡

How do you decide what to tag your gifs?

Oh…hmmm. I’ve been thinking about this since I saw this ask and realizing that I have a system I deliberately don’t think much about. I don’t want to have to think about it each post and make decisions on what to include, and what order and all that. So I just have a set of rules, I guess, and they do slowly evolve, but I try to stay consistent so it’s almost autopilot when it’s time to do that.

I think I started off with the show name, character names (up to four), actor names (same), and that was it. Oh, and spoiler tags if it’d aired in the last day, or if it was a season drop, then in the last week. But the tagging is for three purposes, right, for other people looking for content, for me to easily look up things on my blog, and for people to avoid it if they don’t want to see it. So I added femslash related stuff on my own, and then the edit and ep numbers when asked for one show, but because I like to be consistent, I’d go back and add them for others. And ship tags…I think I decided that myself too.

The only other tweak is that I used to just use the show name as it was exactly but now I go with something identifying if it’s a common word, so not just “warrior” but “warrior cinemax”. I’ve been mulling over additional tags like tvedit or wlwedit or whatever, but I don’t want to go back and add them to existing posts and also, well, that’s exposure to whole separate big groups and I don’t wanna be thinking, well, is this wlw-y enough to be using this tag or whatever.

Damnnnn I’m actually really enjoying filthy rich… and I highkey ship ginger x becky now.. I’m sad they cancelled T.T do you think there’s a chance they pick the show up again?

I do appreciate how much it gets that Ginger and Kim Cattrall are the leads, I do like to see mostly women sparring, and that within that very religious, judgmental environment and the main goal of milking as much soapy drama as possible, it does try to point out and reward when people are actually good and kind to each other. That does make it an easier watch than it might have been.

But at the same time, I do think as we get to the season finale, that it’s going to revert to the drama and will probably ruin a bunch of things in preparation for what would have been the arcs for season 2, including, sadly, Becky/Ginger. And I don’t really think it will be picked up, sadly. I think even as the summer show it was clearly meant to be, in normal times, it’d have been hard pressed to be picked up for next year, but now? With covid costs? Seems even farther out of reach.
