(Prelude to an unsolicited rant: Gaud damn it, I'd been telling myself that I would be done with Wells after last night, but fuck if there aren't 13 episodes in the last season of “Animal Kingdom” instead of the normal 12)

... no one cares fuck all about the sentiments of my level of anger towards the fictional character of J. Cody, but you’re getting them regardless.

I'm Mickey Milkovich on his wedding day except with J. instead of Terry. I'm so fucking tired of him as a character. He's just Lip Gallagher with out heart, or nuanced flavour, and I’m sure that the gaggle of siblings and the revolving presence of a father whom passed down addiction to alcoholism (or Jeremy’s acting choices vs. Finn’s) isn’t what makes the difference. The guy is a psychopath plain and simple. He inherited this mental malformation from his grandmother (whom he bold-faced murdered upon her command instead of her actually facing the cancer riddling her body) and their two-way attempt at destroying the entirety of the generation between them is ouroboros storytelling and boring. The generation between them just tried/is trying to exist in the mad world that the two outer generations have spun in to a tumultuous reality when they should have just tried escaping the insanity. It’s a waste of time to try to thrive in madness unless you’re the source (much like me watching this show). Instead of being portrayed as easily-enough pliable pawns, the in between generation should have been the heart of the show, but what we got is a couple of narcissistic psychopaths as The Conniving Boss Of A Few Broken Bad Boys under the smoke-screen guise of Family Is Every Thing.

... Thank fuck that it looks like the Dragon Of Television might at least give Deran and Adrian a happy ending in Indonesian exile after J. absconds with the remaining spoils of the Cody Empire as it were for himself and himself alone🙄, although, I'm not counting on even getting that much.

i love them so so much

Other straight actors: *Demands to be written out of roles because they’ve been written in to an on-screen epic queer romance*

Cameron Monaghan: *Demands that his character’s on-screen epic queer romance be written back in to the show for his return, refusing to come back with out that particular scene partner, and, seemingly, with such resolve that both actors were shot back up to Series Regular status upon their reprisals*

(Noel Fisher: *Happy to reembody the role that earned him so much well-earned critical acclaim*)

Other viewers: I am so mad at Cameron, and have no hope for the new season, because he referred to Ian and Mickey’s relationship as “almost Shakespearean”. I don’t have any more time for some Romeo And Juliet bull shit.

Me: Uh ..., you do know that Shakespeare was also famous for ‘his’ comedies, right? *Goes through a mental checklist of Much Ado About Nothing plot points that the show has already done and tallies up the A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream ones they’ve thrown in for good measure* ... You also obviously don’t remember/weren’t around for the way that Cameron made no effort to hide how #Done he was over the previous mishandling of #Gallavich, hence making these demands, and, as they are coming back to our screens, aligned promises must have been made by writers who had been indelicate in the past. ... You’re furthermore missing that “almost”. Seasoned actors, especially ones who started at a young age like Cameron did, are skilled at being very careful with their wording in interviews (this fruition in Cameron adds even more gravitas to him not masking his prior disdain), and the “almost” is likely indicative of a hypothetical in which Romeo and Juliet *coughs* Antony and Cleopatra (Wells seems to be The Bard of television, using rich subject matter to disguise their copying, not only others, but themselves, and ripping straight from actual history, as well, and single-handedly relishing in all of the glory possible for their ‘genius’) don’t die at the end if he is alluding to Old Willy Boy’s romantic tragedies. They were all pretty romantic before they turned tragic. That “almost” could be subtracting the difference. So, if you’re going to analyze an actor’s guarded words in print media, analyze them completely. ... Is all of this easy for me to say, knowing that I’m (a small) part of why John now has a healthy amount of trepidation about angering resolute watchers, and having that as added pressure to not screw this up again? Yes. (... It’d be understandable that you haven’t been around enough to know that Cameron’s on our side if you don’t recognize me as part of the fandom. Like the boys, I’m back, bitches!😉)

Also me: *Knows that they were both given a substantial raise from their last cheques out of the equal-pay bump Emmy left in the budget and what ever Kate Miner isn’t getting due to Tami, although getting to be much more fleshed out, still not being any where near as central of a character this season as Fiona was in any season that starred Emmy to merit the Leading status that Emmy left behind* (A show’s budget for every actor’s salary is set at a cap that can never be lowered once heightened, so, being that Emmy won her fight with John to get the equal-to-W.H.M. pay for what would be her last season - money that she should’ve always gotten - is still in the budget, it’s being redistributed to the subsequent cast as T.P.T.B. see fit.)🤷🏻

MicDeran Cody.

You’re still currently in that story on your other show, John, think of some thing else.

^ is how I, like many others, have been watching this Deradrian drama lately. Gay marriage has been federally recognized at the national level in the United States for four years now, consistently at the state level in California since 2013 after a stay of effect was removed from a 2008 decision in response to attempts to appeal, and spousal privilege still applies either way, so just let the two men who have been canonically in love since they were kids get married and dying👏🏽 Smurf’s inclination to snuff out a potential rat becomes nullified.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽The judicial system can’t make Adrian rat on the Codys if he is one.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💍👬

… Yes, Wells has been known to hire some of the worst Script Supervisors (individuals who check scripts for continuity and factual errors) in the business, but I actually do think that this action will be considered as an option before this arc has its climax. I’m just frustrated that we haven’t yet seen it proposed (how punny) on screen yet. They can’t continue to think that we’d assume the Codys are unintelligent enough to take this long to realize that murder is not the only way to ensure that some one has the legal ability to stay quiet.
