Speaking of Parnel can I just say it's nice that there's a character that literally looks like how I used to look when I was little? I don't think that's ever actually... happened to me in animation.Permalink On twitter.com

Like, it's these little moments that I think the show is best at. There isn't really enough time to do a whole nefarious organization subplot and quite I'm way less interested than just seeing these gals existing. Doing cool stuff of course but yeahPermalink On twitter.com

I wanna know how this fucking conversation went in the writer's room. "You know that dogshit gremlin from earlier?" "Yeah?" "Best girl." "What?" "Just hands down and unequivocally the best thing to happen to this show." "How?" "Doesn't matter, fuck you"Permalink On twitter.com
-
But seriously, like, figuring out that Snapdragon crossdresses at minimum, and then having Snap and Amerilis in-character tell someone off for being judgemental, it's so much more emotional and resonant than like having Rosemary almost die and then come backPermalink On twitter.com

That's what I mean when I say like the "serious" writing and "plot" is just so mediocre compared to what it's actually good atPermalink On twitter.com

"Since when do you study history?" "Since it was about DRAGONS Sage!!" yeah she... she has ADHDPermalink On twitter.com
-
she doesn't wanna do things because they are boring and on impulse signs up for exciting things that have fire in them. she puts in effort based solely on her hyperfixationsPermalink On twitter.com

like I've also just not seen a character with ADHD before, really. maybe if I had a character like Rosemary growing up I would've realized I'm not fundamentally broken because of how my brain worksPermalink On twitter.com

This fight works really well because on the one hand Rosemary doesn't realize she's being pushy and dismissive of Sage, but she is. And on the other hand, Sage is probably the last person Rosemary would think she'd have to tone herself down for. So to be called annoying likePermalink On twitter.com

This episode slaps and it sucks that this is the one I'm ending on because apparently it's a two-fer. I will say, irrespective of the other writers' contributions, every episode Kate McVay specifically has touched has been one that really taps in to the show's potentialPermalink On twitter.com
-
What makes me mad is that I wish HGS was this episode, all the time. From episode one to now. Not necessarily having the big third act misunderstanding from the first episode. But this level of clarity, intent, characterization, humor, and tensionPermalink On twitter.com
-
There's no reason why I had to wait for Amerilis to pick up an ax for her to become the god tier character she was apparently always meant to bePermalink On twitter.com

Oh speaking of third act misunderstandings, watch this whole thing: youtu.be/gH6-8DR2AyAPermalink On twitter.com

there was no indication that this chick was THIS good of a friend. It's kinda of laughably inconsistent but I so, so prefer this to the brat who'd make fun of Sage for being ruralPermalink On twitter.com

sometimes as an artist you just draw a cool posePermalink On twitter.com

Did I think she would actually drop the magic water that's the only known way to save Thyme's home? No actually. Show got mePermalink On twitter.com

loooolPermalink On twitter.com

Ah shit I cliffhangered myselfPermalink On twitter.com

So there are some things (actually, quite a few) that are tropey. "Everyone's a statue and we have to bring them back" is def a thing I've seen, third act misunderstanding we already went over and more little thingsPermalink On twitter.com
-
But there's a lot of things that are just good. And they're mainly character things. And I was so enamored by it. Like, it took me an hour to finish this episode, right? Like, where the show decides to be itself and not a Disney show or somethingPermalink On twitter.com
-
Even with familiar tropes the narrative tension, and focus I think is the right word was outstanding. The whole episode built up to that moment at the end. And I caught myself thinking, "imagine if this was the entire show and not just this episode"Permalink On twitter.com
-
I am sleep deprived so I think it's time I listen to by body some but if 5 and 6 were the first time the show really started to work work, episode 8 is the show figuring out how to take that to the next level. With not just quippy writing but like stakes that matterPermalink On twitter.com
-
I am having a hard time describing the difference in what I felt here, last episode, vs here in THIS episode. it is night and day. They do not compare. And it's one episode apartPermalink On twitter.com
-
In the first, the characters have just learned that they are about to die. Everything they have fought for to get to this point is at jeopardy. But it just slides by it's whatever In the second, they had an argument about pumpkin carving. BUT IT HURT. DAMNPermalink On twitter.com
-
And I'm definitely keeping a pin in audiences kneejerk thinking Rosemary is annoying vs her super obviously having ADHD. That's a thought we're going places with that. Good night everyone!Permalink On twitter.com
