imo My Lady Jane was (significantly) better than Bridgerton s3, and I’m just so BAFFLED that people will watch the latter for the period drama romance but not the former!!! How is there an audience for one and not the other?!
what's so funny to me about takes like this is that they just fully ignore alllllll of the many many platonic relationships between men and women ON THIS EXACT SHOW to shout down people who like the idea of syd/carmy being romantic.
Good. It is GOOD to have examples on tv of people who are intimate but not romantic. This is a side of friendship that we love to pretend can’t exist on screen between men and women!

Why should a tenant, who is already paying for your mortgage, pay for upgrades to YOUR property? Esp for something that can last a good 10+yrs when they could move out in the next year? It’s your legal responsibility to make your property habitable.

You can’t “copyright” the concept of a power. Certainly not when you are nowhere near the first person to make character with that power.
Do you think all stories about vampires are infringing on the copyright of Buffy? No, obviously not!

fandom has decided to process the utter heartbreaking devastation of 4x03 by incessantly posting screenshots of Ace at any point during the show with the caption “he had feelings for her here” 💀

Imagine thinking people disagreeing with your views is worse than decades of oppression, violence, prejudice, death that LGBT people have faced and continue to struggle with today. Can’t relate.
cant stop rewatching the scene with the context of "will you solve this part of the mystery with me?" being like nace's version of a marriage proposal LIKE!!!!!! remember in s1 when nancy said "you know what's so romantic? solving a homicide! with me!" i mean???? 😭
No but did you notice that Ace had the tiniest little hint of a smile as he was listing off the bottle and the barometer BECAUSE he had just realised that he was RIGHT, he had Figured It Out, and it also meant that Nancy DOES love him… I’ll never recover from this.

actually laughing hysterically at tristan being like "wow you're my soulmate, you're my light" and nancy is like BLANK FACED and staring over his shoulder at ace dknskjdgb
Nancy Drew is *the* spiritual successor to Buffy and it deserves way more recognition than it gets. It’s funny, smart, spooky, deals with loads of real world issues with attention and care, and is so filled with friendship and love and romance. I ADORE IT 😭
What’s wild to me is that Nancy Drew got better ratings than Riverdale on The CW network, but Riverdale absolutely smashed it on streaming. Like why would The CW NOT want more of its shows airing internationally on Netflix when you’ve seen how big the audience gets when they do??
s1 nancy: i will not tell anyone anything about my life or emotions. actually i dont even have emotions.
s4 nancy: anyway here's my traumatic backstory, let me communicate my feelings to you real quick
we love an emotionally mature queen 👑
Need an episode of ND where Nace are possessed by two married ghosts who are obsessed with each other and the rest of the Drew Crew have to spend the whole episode doing shenanigans to stop them from accidentally triggering the Nace curse shdhwduehshsk
"um we should have platonic friendships between men and women actually" yeah! we should! that's why i like syd and ritchie, syd and marcus, nat and ritchie, tina and everyone, nat and carmy's sibling dynamic etc etc etc.
seeing romance between the hot leads of the same age who spend all their time together, and who's relationship is the emotional heart of the show, where the show's own writers made a point of contrasting carmy's relationship with syd vs. his GIRLFRIEND..... is not a reach!

Remember when it was illegal to be a Tory? When you could be arrested or killed for it? When you got kicked out of your house? Or couldnt get married or have kids? Or the high rates of homelessness and suicide of tory youth? Yeah, me neither.
How did The CW go from having bangers like Buffy and Smallville and Gilmore Girls and Charmed and One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl all airing at the same time to… a bunch of random reality shows and reruns of imported shows..? Like what in the mediocrity????
@marcusjdl
When people try to prove they’re actually poor and include putting money in savings as an “expense” as if they don’t still very much have that money in their bank account to use as they please 😂
I am very worried about the fact that Nancy, George, and Bess all breathed in that weird smoke stuff from the roundel AND the fact that there were three skulls in the artefact room… 😵💫
Tired: Ace letting the ferret go was him being petty
Wired: Ace letting the ferret go was symbolic of him letting go of the idea that he can go back to his previous relationship with Nancy as if nothing has changed between them
dying over the fact that ace knows NOTHING. he doesn't know about the 2x18 dreamscape or her going to his house. he doesn't know about the 3x04 sandman dream. he doesn't know about the vision in 3x13. and she's lied to him for 2 MONTHS about her feelings. he is REALLY in the dark
no but from ace's perspective it's like a romance novel come to life. a HS crush he never thought would ever speak to him becomes his friend when they start working together years later. then they become friends and she falls for him too and then they end up together! ROMANCE!!!
sorry but there was a way to write sydcarmy where it could never be interpreted as romantic but having carmy calm down from a panic attack by thinking about syd AND having syd say things like "i need your focus, i don't want to share it [with claire]" was NAWT the way.
I can’t believe that once Riverdale and Nancy end this summer that is fully fully THE END of The CW and it’s silly little show era…… goodbye goodbye goodbye…. You were bigger than the whole sky….
Very weird to see people saying Ace had no development or even regressed this episode when… it was possibly the most character development he’s had all season. That boy was going through it and had some Big Realisations about himself and his rship with Nancy.
Oh me? I’m spoken for. No, I’m not dating anyone in the traditional sense. I’ve just been hung up on the love of my life for like four years and I’m selflessly sacrificing a potential future together so she can be safe and happy without me. Haha. Thanks for the invite though.
Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri have officially denied “any romantic implications” between their characters in the upcoming season of THE BEAR.

sorry but the "i'm growing on her" / "like a fungus, ace" interaction in early s1 is absolutely HYSTERICAL now that nancy is fully in love with that man........
putting my tin hat on to say that the PAUSE and the ZOOM IN on ace during the phone call at the end of 4x08 was The Moment where the black door started erasing shit... you can't tell me i am wrong!!!!!!
Every week there is a 💀 emoji and every week we’re like “so who is going to DIE” as if the main plot of the season is not about eight reanimated corpses and one of the characters literally WORKS IN A MORGUE
I know we’re like IN IT right now. We’re in the middle. In the dark night of the soul. And we have to ~ride the wave~ but. GOD. I miss Nace being friends so much. I miss their lil side missions and secret lil glances and being close to one another 😭
In 3x09 when Nancy says “they just want to be together, forever” and then Park says “so you have been in love” and then it IMMEDIATELY cuts to Ace lying on the floor….poetic cinema.
thinking about the moment where ace confronts nancy in 3x13 ("why did you hesitate, at the veil?") and she's on the verge of tears.... bc for NANCY? that was MINUTES after she was literally holding his dead body in her arms. and there he is standing in front of her. GODDDDDD.
I don’t think that Nace accidentally killed a person and used the Black Door to cover it up. I DO think that something bad happened (potentially curse trigger) and Nancy erased it and ghost girly was a CONSEQUENCE of what and how the Black Door erased and changed things.
Remember when this aired on 31 May after the show was off the air for 1yr and 4 months and I felt like I was literally DRUNK from the serotonin of it….. what a time
