the first two seasons of detentionaire:
After doing my Women's Health Cover variant of She-Hulk, I thought it'd be fun to do a Wonder Woman one!
And what if I say Jason is, if not the most, one of the most tragic characters in the pjo books and he was only hated because people expected Percy's narration in TLH
After a LOT of searching, I finally found a website where I can rewatch Generator Rex, an old favourite of mine. LOVED this programme growing up. There are ads, but I can watch it, and for anyone else who loves Gen Rex, and wants to rewatch it, here are the links.
i'm going to be honest with you all. i don't know if i can spend the next two or so years until d5 listening to everyone bending over backwards to theorise that ella and/or charming are secretly evil and pulled the prank on bridget. i really don't. i might blow up.
"but uliana couldn't have opened the book" it was probably morgie. y'know, the person who, according to the royals and villains book is desperate for uliana's validation and 'not the most liked' in his group. and thus the person uliana probably made open the book in the og timeline just incase it did fuck them up. "what if ella or charming were tricked by-" this is ella who would tell uliana to her face to get fucked and charming who thought it was impressive they "bested" uliana. in what world are they doing fuck all for her. "but ella was grounded and the prank didn't happen!" i don't know how to tell you this but ella being forbidden to go to the ball is actually the plot of cinderella.
watching/rewatching a show when you already have an established favorite character is great because every time they come on screen it's like

You know, I've seen plenty of comments about "Descendants should have been a young adult TV series!" and... I dunno how I feel about that.
Are there concepts that could use exploring much better geared towards an older audience? Sure.
But would it be the same without silly costumes, brightly-colored hair, stupid (affectionate) songs and teenage drama? All of which I doubt would be allowed in a grimdark teenage action/fantasy series like a bunch of us keep wanting? I doubt that.
I think it being a DCOM is a genuine part of its charm, and if it had become something like Shadowhunters, Once Upon a Time or Fate or even just something that would run on Freeform, all the fun would have been drained out of it.
One of my hottest takes is that I think the mystery and more specifically the transition from a casual mystery show to a more thrilling and serious one was done much better in Detentionaire compared to Mystery Incorporated
How do you explain to people that one of your current favourite ongoing manga is a shounen about fighting off interdimensional invaders and it's fully just committed itself to a tactical computer game e-sports arc for the last 3 years? And that it's still just as good?!?!
you wanna know what i think about all the time? what my "roman empire" is (to quote an old trend)?
i think about how william brent is doing. how is he? what does he do now that he's not an actor anymore? how's life going for him? And i wonder these things with genuine concern, he's the only member of the cast that completely vanished from the public and honesty I get it, he's obviously not the kind of person that wants to be linked forever to a character he portrait several years ago. i remember that before deleting his social media, there was a period of time where his Instagram's comments were turned off because, years later, people were still calling him "chase." i bet that can get tiring. also, he's a father, so it's probable he just wanted privacy.
in addition, on a recent podcast episode, bradley, jake, and kelli were talking about elite force, and they said they don't even know where william is or how he's doing. i believe, when talking about a possible season two of ef, jake short said "I'd love to do an episode, but we'd have to locate william brent and whatever wilderness he's hiding in."
recently, his wife started posting more on her Instagram account, and from what I see, they are doing well and have a beautiful family together, and honestly, it warms my heart. i hope he's living his best life and he's happy.
