Quote 20 - WDYMMM A AGREES TO B’S FAKE PROPOSAL!?!? <- context for quote because asking someone to be their yang in [show name] is ~kinda~ like a marriage proposal?

Quote 57 - A says it to B after taking a life for the first time, and after B died (and came back) and A blamed herself for it, when she feels like her life is spinning out of control and she's lost the one thing she thought she had, her capability and command of the station. And in all this uncertainty, the one thing she trusts, the one thing she can hold onto... is B. B, whose death tore her apart. B, who sees her as a more naive version of herself, who hated her at first, but learned to love her anyway. B, who has sacrificed herself for her so many times. And now she's asking her to take the one thing she clings to -- her position as commander -- from her, because she trusts her so much.

Quote 13 - theyre in a timeloop and the one with the weakness dies by the others hands every time, yet still tells him his weakness. (they also have a strong rivalry, which i feel adds even more to the telling the other his weakness) it gets crazier the deeper ya go but i cant add too much detail otherwise it completely gives the media away :(

Quote 44 - The entire season, A has hidden the fact that he was turned by another vampire because in vampire culture it’s considered the ultimate betrayal for a familiar to be turned by someone other than their master. When B finds out he’s incredibly hurt and, per tradition, attempts to kill A… but he can’t. He realizes that despite the thousands of years of instinct compelling him to hurt A, he loves him too much to do so. To prove sincerity, B directs A’s stake to his own chest and declares this line in his long-forgotten native language.

Quote 88 - 88: A and B have just completed their quest, with A literally carrying B at the end there. B kinda already knew it wasn't something they were going to make it back from, but A still had hope for a return journey up until the end. Here, faced with that end that they can't return from, all B can feel is relief that it's over, and while A feels that too, he's also mourning the life he's given up for this. B then says this, a show of gratitude for everything A has done for him and that despite everything else that's happened he isn't alone in this.

Quote 59 - This quote comes from a part in their character stories where A is going to leave out of fear he's going to hurt B when/if his powers get out of control. It convinces A to stay because there's nothing he wants more in life than to be needed.

Quote 68 - This is from the first time they really team up and work together. It's also the quote they used for the official wedding ring merch because it's literally a proposal

Quote 43 - A sacrificed literally everything to bring B back to life and also to bring him to peace. They literally saved the world with the power of love together like idk

Quote 50 - CONTEXT: A is a spirit, so unless he gets exorcised, he cannot die and also can’t age, while B is a human and very much does. The situation is a little horrifying yeah, but also fits in the ‘basically-a-confession’ category as well. Also we find out later on that this wasn’t even a heat of the moment thing for him- he still wants (or at least wants A to ask him) to die so they can be together forever.

Quote 74 - For all of B's life, he's been told that the only thing he's good for is his suffering. All his abilities, all his skills, all that he is can only be unlocked with his raw pain. As an adult, that's now the only thing that fuels him. He's leaned into this idea of being a ball of rage because he doesn't know how else to behave. Enter A. A sees B as a whole person, not just for his abilities. And A doesn't run away from the darkness in B's mind; he accepts it. He encourages B to embrace all facets of himself, including the positive memories that B thought were lost. B hadn't been treated this kindly since he was a child, and now here is A, understanding him --- and not just that, but LOVING him, just as he is.

Ahab

She's a gaslighting old hag with a voice actor putting their entire soul into the performance.

i support women's wrongs

Imagine if they took captain Ahab from Moby Dick, trans’d his gender, and then made her an even worse person who gaslights her crew constantly into sacrificing themselves for her cause.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine - 8.09 / 8.10 The Last Day

It just... season 8 had been so bad as a whole, it attempted to touch on the blm movement and did it in an okay at best way and in the wake of it all, i think a lot of people just weren't here for cop shows. The finale tried to bring the magic back with one last heist and it did pull out all the stops but I don't know, it just left me feeling really cold. And the ending being that even though the main character wasn't a cop anymore, that he would return to the station every year for the heist... it just never escapes the cop narrative even after he's left.

Chén Qíng Lìng/The Untamed - Episode 50

I nominate this final on grounds of CCP information control, censorship and homophobia. They were so scared of the power of wangxian that they ended up banning ao3 in china and in the show they have to inexplicably have them part ways just to hammer home the no-homo. Plus the show is just kind of objectively bad.... but it rewires your brain all the same

Community - 6.13 Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television

ok i haven’t watched it in a while but it wasn’t the episode’s fault this show had been going downhill for a while. The finale put it out of its misery mostly.

Kyle XY - 3.10 Bringing Down the House

The writers knew they were getting canceled and chose to raise more questions than answers and set up cliffhangers, rather than have a satisfying end. I'm sure it was a last ditch effort to save the show, but it didn't work and now it's just a bad finale.

Soul Eater - 1.51 The Word Is Bravery!

ugh god it just gave up on any attempt at character development or the ending of the story in any meaningful way. instead of a complex universe journey exploring her bond with soul, and death the kid becoming the new god of death, maka just...wins the day by 'being brave', extremely underwhelming and borderline nonsensical
