I get you, buddy. I’m not sure there are many movies like this, though. There’s A New York Christmas Wedding, and I guess Lez Bomb? Did you mean holiday themed movies or just where wlw characters are…happy? Not many more of the former, but for the latter there’s the first list here: https://booasaur.tumblr.com/post/633730364584656896/hey-any-lesbian-moviefilm-recs-for-me-or-a-list (except Battle of the Sexes, I think?)
After my third rewatch I can wholeheartedly say that Ava looks like alba Baptista. And that’s that.
Awww, maybe that’s the best choice in the end. She certainly deserves to be focused on for her own sake, and not just who she resembles the most. 🙂
hey boo i stopped watching killjoys a while back but am wondering if I should pick it up again. the reason why i stopped is bc even tho dutch is amazing the show started to feel like “capable badass woc babysits 2 whiny bros who can’t get over their shit” so am wondering if that eases up?
Sorry for the late reply!
On one hand, that kinda never stops? The bros are always on some shit or other. But they often are the ones who save Dutch, and really, none of the three are completely put together all the time. But if you don’t like them and continue to not like them, I don’t know that I’d recommend you to keep watching? Because while it does get more interesting once the mythology takes over more, seasons 3 and 4 probably being my favorites and introducing/reframing characters in a way that fundamentally changes the shape of the show, the core three are still the heart of it.
If it’s the dynamic you mind…I dunno, because I warmed to Johnny pretty quickly and usually tolerate D’av well enough, so I can’t speak to that, but if it’s that particular plot you don’t care about, it definitely changes.
Ha. “Returning to Valle and not being interrupted”. I see your challenge, and I’ll take it. Watch out ;)
Good luck! If I tried to write it, it’d probably be them getting to the house only to DISCOVER A DEAD BODY. Dun dun dunnnnn. 😛
Hey, First, thank you for your tumblr. I discovered a lot of (great!) new shows because of you! Your followers probably already mentioned it, but if you need another dark german tv series with a very gay Antje Traue in it, I’d like to recommend Dead End. It’s not the most original show (basic procedural set in a small town) but the main couple is cute (and unexpected!). I’m kind of bummed nobody’s talking about it (never felt so alone in a ship)…
Hi! Well, thank you. 🙂
None of my followers mentioned it, so let us judge them together. 😛 But while I have actually heard of it, I don’t see any way to watch with English subtitles? For some other zdf shows, they have German closed captioning, so if you toggle on Chrome’s auto-translate, that about works. Here, though, no such luck. Do you know of any way to access them?
I just finished Dark too. I enjoyed this season as much as the first. I don’t know how I feel about the finale multiverse reveal. I also don’t understand how Charlotte is Elisabeth’s mother while Elisabeth is the mother of her own mom(Charlotte).
SPOILERS IN THE ASK AND IN THE RESPONSE.
I was into the multiverse reveal, it felt like a good new element for a new season that didn’t break credulity, given all the other craziness. And I felt the fridging of Martha was unfair to the character, so it was cool to see her pop up looking all cool, even though I expect this world’s version to still be in play.
Well, I can see your objection to it too, though, because we’ve had no mention of it in almost two full seasons now, so what is its sudden place in the story? How come we saw so much of all the travelers going back and forth, but no mention of this? Is it a brand new element to even the existing characters, or has older Jonas lived through it and simply felt he hadn’t needed to mention it to anyone? That’s a bit convenient. In the original cycles, younger Jonas experiences Martha’s death, that’s why older Jonas tries to get her to stay in the bunker and how Adam can refer to it as a pain that shapes him and the lack of which frees him. But if he’s with her and thus outside the bunker, how does he survive the apocalypse? Is his escaping into the multiverse always a part of that?
Ugh, while on one level I can be like ohhh, Charlotte’s mom is Elisabeth, what a tweest!, another part of me is just like, ugh, Noah, you gross weirdo. I’m not sure he knew but he’s already gross in a million other ways so I’m still gonna judge him. What most likely happened is that the younger version of him that went into the bunker at the end survives with Elisabeth, an appropriate number of years later they fell in love and then what most definitely happens is that they have a baby. That baby, Charlotte, is then taken back in time and placed with HG Tannhaus, grows up out of time the way Mikkel did, and eventually meets Peter Doppler and has Elisabeth. Well, it’s possible Elisabeth was taken back, had the kid, then pushed forward again.
There’s still so much to tell, like, what is Agnes’s role in all this? What happens to Agnes and Doris, and I’m not just curious because I’m gay. How did quiet Doris’s line lead to the Tiedemanns while Agnes led to the Nielsens? How come Regina was all, we don’t have anything to do with the Nielsens… How did older Jonas get the scars on his back, where was Hannah when the apocalypse happened? What ended up happened to Bartosz? At the end of the ep, older Jonas and the three kids, Magnus, Franziska, and Bartosz (which I now realize represent each of the three families, Nielsen, Tiedemann, and Doppler) go off, and we know Franziska and Magnus stay with Jonas/Adam as helpers, but what happens to Bartosz? WHAT IF…Adam is older Bartosz? But no, he knew all about Jonas’s life. What is that new cop’s connection with everything, he only knows his brother disappeared but Aleksander was looking at articles about murder. What was older Jonas referring to when he said Claudia became what she was fighting? Who is the one trying to stop the apocalypse, Claudia or Adam!
How are you liking this season of Dark? Better than last? Confusing because it’s been so long? I haven’t began it yet.
The second option, I really should have rewatched it before starting the new season because I was super confused at the start. But the longer I watched the more things fell into place, especially since it does often use the technique of cutting straight from a person in one time to that some person in another.
I can’t really say it’s better or worse, I am still liking it, every time a parallel happens or something good is revealed, I still go ooooh, like when we see [young Agnes!]. I’m still loving Jonas, this poor kid goes through SO MUCH. Still hating Noah and [Adam Sarandon], still dislike [Ulrich’s stupid aggression, attacking everyone].
What I really love, and I think this season highlightes that a lot more, is how much the show is driven by familial love. Sure, a huge part of it are the family ties through the generations, but it’s just really genuine and lovely to see, amid all the rest of the plot. It’s not just what’s convenient for the plot, it’s what grounds the plot.
If I remember correctly you made Agnes/Doris gifs from Dark on Netflix. Have you began season 2?
Yep! I’ll wait to gif until I finish the season, still got some eps to go.
Did trish get superpowers at last?? :o
Yep, she did.
Yup, dismissive of bisexuality to the end, along w having a lesbian fuck a guy Bc lesbians gotta sleep w dudes if they’re being a Nice Guy™ right?? Like!! Esp disgusting after they had the arc where Jess admits she’s never slept w a dude Bc she knew she was gay & was uninterested in men. Smfh. Idgaf if she was high or drunk, it makes it all grosser. I had a feeling it was coming Bc last couple eps had her & Felix solo hanging out, but I’m still a little surprised tbh. Thx for letting me vent lol
Yep, insulting to everyone. I thought it was coming, after that one ep where Murphy had to feel a dead body so they camped out at Felix’s house and then also when she helped him order weed, but after both those times they retreated away from it and I was like, they know better, they wouldn’t do that. Hmph.
To give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they’ll have her come to terms with her own crappy attitude toward Vanessa, and she’ll realize she’s bi, but the road to getting here, after making such a big deal about her being a lesbian. It’s a terrible look. And no problem about the venting, I get that there aren’t many people watching and actually, I remember someone mentioning watching because I posted a gifset, so, I gotta take responsibility. 😛
