Pan-girl

It's kinda stressful when your amiability is misconstrued as flirting, like, please no, I was just being supportive because I'm a nice bitch and this is also my job so...

Rant and possibly spoilers obvs:

1) Writers/creators practically threw out all the character development of all characters except for Jim's and that's fucking annoying. Tobes is a hero in his own right and while I want him alive, I'm not really fond of the idea of him being the Troll Hunter mainly because he IS Warhammer and he made Warhammer a hero. Tobes is a wingman and a hero. That development is my favorite and it's annoying that it was kinda overlooked and sorta considered as not really worthy enough to be a hero.

2) Also, is Jim now like a super fucking Troll Hunter with a super suit who can travel through time as much as he wants to or is it a one-time thing? Honestly, I hope it's this because that's fucking AWESOME SAUCE.

3) Anyhoo, if it's a one-time thing, will Jim and Tobes be stuck in an endless time loop (say, if the other will keep on dying at the end still lmao) or not, since technically Jim already knows what will happen before they will happen?

3.1) But time travel is a fickle thing and who tf knows what changes could occur now that Tobes is TH? Will Jim be always able to save Tobes and Arcadia's asses? Will Tobes own decision-making even matter? If Jim keeps on guiding him (read: forcing him to make certain decisions), will Tobes even grow to be a worthy hero in this case?

3.2) Also, a lot of things happened the way they did because Jim WAS TH. If he's not TH, then chances are that they'd happen differently. I mean, the part where Jim became full troll and then back to human happened because of his connection with Claire and the many attempts Claire did to bring him back. Will Tobes even go back to being a human after being a half human/half troll (since, well, Jim could stop him from becoming a full troll)? Will Claire even be the shadow sorceress or is it gonna be Darci? How will this new timeline even line up with the events in Wizards which is supposed to be something that's actually within the regular timeline based on present Merlin's reaction and the fact that Archie said that Douxie re-using knockout magic spells on his past self will make his past self lose memories?

4) The ending felt like a cop out and I'm annoyed. I hate Tobes' death but there defo was a better way to change it aka pulling out the fucking Excalibur earlier in the movie so they could all defeat the Titans much much much earlier.

5) Are we just really going to erase Staja's babies from existence? Don't these two have a say in Jim's decish?

6) AAAARRRRGGHH!!! <insert frustrated screaming here because this is GOT finale all over again>

Made a long ass comment about this series on YT and I just thought about posting it here as well just because.

I have a lot to say so here goes.

First, to anyone thinking that it's too late or you can't change things anymore, please remember that it is never too late. No one reading knows me irl and if you do, you'll probs think it's very hypocritical of me to cheer people up given that I'm me (me being someone diagnosed with major depressive disorder and go on bouts of intense suicidal moments), but when I'm in my lighter moods, I do see that there's still hope and future in this most-of-the-time cruel world, and I hope that you do see that too even in your darkest night. No one is truly alone. Your parents may not understand, your friends may call you an attention seeker, anyone surrounding you may roll their eyes at you, but remember to reach out and you'll see that there's a lot out there who are willing to listen and tell you that you are enough and it's okay to not be okay. If you need time to wallow in your sadness, please do so. If you need to tell people that you have a mental illness, then don't hesitate to do that. And if they mock or ignore you, then that's not on you. It's on them. You don't have to hide that you're hurting if you're hurting. You don't have to fake a smile if you can't. And again, if someone calls you a party-pooper then it's okay to cut ties with that person. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. You're already dealing with your own. Self-care is okay as long as you're not intentionally and maliciously hurting anyone. And I cannot stress this enough, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There are a lot of us out here who will listen if you just reach out. I wish that you'll be able to surround yourself as well with a good support system because that honestly makes a huge difference. I wish you the best.

Second, there's nothing wrong with dropping a friend who causes you toxicity. There's nothing wrong with cutting ties with a friend who blames you if you start withdrawing from them because of your mental illness. A good friend would understand you if you need time for yourself, will not push you to share when you don't want to, and will listen and understand when you do share. They will not put you down. Now, the thing with this is that you should also see when it's you who is being toxic to them, and you shouldn't do that either. Having a mental illness doesn't give you a free pass to control someone else's life. That's not how thing goes. You should still know your boundaries as a human to another fellow human. Treat others the way you want to be treated and live life without hurting anyone. I know some may say bad things because of their mental illness and I hope that the people surrounding you are people who will understand that your mental illness is not your only trait as a person. It's your illness but it's not you. If you unintentionally do or say bad things, apologize. If they don't understand, then maybe it's time to let them go. Ensure that while you're keeping your life free of toxic people, you also aren't a toxic person to someone else. Simply put, avoid poison and also avoid being a poison.

Third and this one is also close to my heart that I've probs ranted about this in a lot of episodes in this series, if you're already a parent or thinking of building your own family, please prioritize your children's needs, especially emotional needs, over your own. I'm not saying you aren't allowed to have fun anymore, specifically for you single parents out there. What I'm saying is that please, please, please don't do anything that could potentially hurt your child. Don't be selfish. You chose to bring that child into this world. You chose to put them here. And for someone who chose to do just that, you should then live your life acknowledging that in the palm of your hands is the life of a human who you could help flourish or destroy. And I hope you obviously choose to ensure the best things for that human life you brought forth in this world. (Because if not, I'll murder you. Kidding. Or not.)

Fourth, as a fangirl, I can't explain to non-fans how much happiness and sometimes my sanity relies on shows, music, books, and anything I geek out about. And that also includes the celebrities, musicians, and authors of those things. Watching my fave idol makes me smile and makes me forget my worries even for a little while. And I know a number of those who may read this knows that exact feeling of being saved by a complete stranger through their art. And I hope that while we love them for their works, we also respect them as humans themselves. I hope we don't make life hell for them by stopping them from living their own lives. Again, they're humans and not puppets. As long as they're not doing anything actually illegal then no one has the right to put them down. Constructive criticism is okay. Criticism alone? Not so much. Remember to respect your fave's boundaries and acknowledge your limitations in their lives as a fan.

Social media and the internet is great but hold yourself responsible. Also, why spend your precious time hating on someone when you could spend it on liking something else? Again, I'm not saying criticism is bad because constructive criticism isn't. If you're pointing out a flaw, ensure that it actually is a flaw and not you making a mountain out of a mole and ensure that you have a solution in fixing that flaw. Don't hate just because no one would know anyway, since at the end of the day, you would know. And one way or another, you knowing would eventually gnaw at your conscience and you'll also end up hurting yourself.

Lastly and wow this is long, I want to say I'm impressed with how straightforward this series is. It calls out everyone, and it shows how people are flawed but they can change. Hopefully though, we don't only consider changing after someone's life had already been spent because then that's just sad. Anyway, thanks GMMTV for a good series that allows people to discuss on a very important part of all our lives. Kudos.

Langa's happiness that he's always been so sure about...

Langa's happiness is...

And the camera really panned to Reki.

P.S. Sure. We're fine with it not being explicitly said, but you know, kinda feels like queerbating. Le sigh. I guess we still have a long way to go no?
