i’m just scared they’re going to shut down j/b completely in the finale. oh look they’re just platonic friends, totally platonic because platonic friends always kiss each other like this amirite??
ugh yesss that's what i'm scared of
but also i don't think dan would want to completely kill that ship

i can’t even thing about it without pulling the jake face. also: it’s so cool you’re going to the netherlands!!
same... and yeah, spending easter in the hague & amsterdam!
How great was the B99 finale tho?! Pretty great right?
it was very cartoony thumbs upno but seriously it was SO good and the last minute of it killed me. i want season two now so badly.
talk to me about faye/spike aka the very definition of ust and frustration and oh god why do i ship them it is so painful!!!
RIGHT?!?!?! It's honestly one of the most painful ships of my life! And I never wanted to ship it! But 13 year old Kate was unstoppable in her shipping habits tbh (totally different from 24 year old Kate! not).
What are your favourite tropes in fanfic or fave tropes in general?
OH MAN so many!!!! I think my all-time favorites though are: ragtag bunch of misfits, found families, jerkass with a heart of gold, platonic life partners, they really do love each other!, daddy issues, and others I'm blanking on!! I like these in fic or books or movies or TV shows or anything!

“Thought you didn’t believe in marriage,” he says between kisses.“Shut up,” she says, “or I won’t do it.”“So don’t.”“No way. You’re stuck with me now, Winger." Talk about this whole proposal scene please!!
I can’t claim responsibility for this little part, because I have to give most of it to Libby. When I wrote this story for her, I went through my blog and her blog and Skype messages to take all the things and headcanons we said about Jeff/Britta and play around with them a little in different universes and time frames. This one is one of my favorites tbh. :)
If I remember this correctly (and I think I do) we were talking about Britta being really short and Jeff teasing her about this and putting things out of her reach to annoy her. And then—because it’s us—it escalated pretty quickly into “Jeff would put the engagement ring high up where he thinks Britta can’t find it but she’s nosy and she finds it anyway!” Obviously that idea was too cute NOT to flesh out into a little drabble!
I go back and forth about how I feel about Jeff/Britta/marriage. I like it in fic but not so much in canon; or at least, I dislike the idea of it happening in canon in a very traditional sort of way. I think the show does some really great things regarding J/B/marriage because you have these two people who are SO anti-commitment but they’re constantly talking about it with each other and it’s a great dichotomy between those ideas of “being with someone forever is stupid” and “but maybe it could happen with you because of x, y, or z and it wouldn’t be THAT bad.”
Anyway, this was my take on a very traditional sort of ending for them; I’ve written uhhh four? fics where they’ve gotten married via drunken accident/insurance fraud/criminal protection so it was fun to explore what a Jeff/Britta proposal would look like. It’s sort of simple and weird and it ends up with them on the kitchen floor because, duh!, but I think what I wanted to do was take the interpretation of Britta’s protests against marriage and commitment as “the lady doth protest too much” because the entire time she’s mocking the idea of proposals being lame and stupid and Jeff sort of knows that she’d want this very simple, very understated sort of thing. She wants it, but she’s BRITTA so she can’t come out and say it; they have to play this stupid “eh whatever, I don’t really care about this, this is dumb” thing before they admit that it IS what they want. :)
You just reminded me so much about that episode. Isn't this the one where Helga describes her parents laughing along with Olga and then when she enters the scene the laugh track just fades. The way it deals with parental neglect for a children's show is pretty amazing.
Yes!!! And she's trying to ask them to take her to school and they ignore her and there's that heartbreaking sequence of her walking alone in the rain. God, I need to watch that episode again. It's just so powerful; I love that it wasn't dumbed down or sanitized even though it was meant for children.
rogerackroyd replied to your post:You should definitely talk about Helga and Arnold. Formative stuff man.
i LOVE this post!!! Seriously this is A LOT. ALOT.PNG and Helga on the Couch is an amazing episode.
Thank you!!! And thank you so much for asking me to talk about it :)
