Bouquet, Since Their Individual Ships Tend To Be Named After Flowers.

Bouquet, since their individual ships tend to be named after flowers.

I'm sleep deprived. There should be more poly ships in the SM fandom.

Of-fucking-course you're pro-stella and anti-Stolas. Jesus fucking Christ... Hope you don't have a total meltdown when future positive episodes surrounding Stolas and Blitz get released.

I won't because I know that they're only happening because Vivienne wants them to and that realistically, Blitz would eventually snap out of the manipulation and get Stolas out of his life.

AUs and fics exist for many reasons, and one reason is that sometimes viewers who happen to be writers themselves can't tolerate the bad and in some instances potentially harmful writing in canon.

I know that the series won't give Stella a happy ending, that's exactly why I focus so much on her.

We know for a fact that Stolas was originally going to be a major villain in the series and was retconned into being "mIsgUIdEd" during the production of season 2. All this means Stella was more likely than not, originally framed as at least somewhat sympathetic by the narrative. The reason I point out the implied and/or inherent nuances to Stella's character is because they're an inevitable holdover from a version of the show that would have been far superior to the product we received.

The reason I'm pro-Stella is because she, as a character, deserved to be handled with more tact.

If you take that much of an issue with these stances, I suggest you just block, and move on with your day.

Here's the rundown of her plotline:

Hattie has a gay friend who's currently dating a guy from Iran whose visa shortly expires. The friend asks Hattie to marry the Iranian guy (whose name I can't remember) so he can stay in the UK.

The thing is that Hattie's been through a bad relationship with a nasty break up (that's all the info we get) and desperately wants another man in her life.

A few days after the "wedding", while her friend's out of town, she convinces the Iranian guy to come over, uses threats of reporting him and having him deported back to Iran if he doesn't stay the night, chains his leg to a radiator in his sleep and spends the rest of the season trying to brainwash him.

And yes, as I've said before, the writers somehow manage to make all of this simultaneously horrifying and hilarious.

I think that should make the parallels clearer.

You know, I was wondering why both Blitz and Fizz feel like they remind me of something but in different ways.

Then I remember Mr. Jelly from Psychoville, who is a crass, alcoholic, amputee birthday clown who is played by on of the show's creators.

Also, the doctor who helped Jelly get accustomed to his prosthetics took a liking to clowning and became Mr. Jolly, whom Jelly is in fierce competition with also being constantly mistaken for him.

Yes, this is a thinly veiled attempt at getting you to watch the show, but it was super underrated and had ARG elements that would've gotten it way more than just 2 seasons had it come out just a few years later. And if nothing else, it's better as a dramatic adult comedy than HB.

LMAO????

It's actually worse. Blitz's reaction is angry but mostly confused, as in he doesn't realize how Mammon can have such a lack of self awareness.

Whether the writers wanted it to or not, the show has taken the stance of: "Fat shaming is ok, so long as the person you're fat shaming is fatter than you." And I really hope I don't have to explain why that's awful.

Fans when Mammon fat shame Fizz:

What a fat shaming bastard!😡

Fans when Loona fat shame Moxxie:

Ha ha, Loona so funny lol!😂

The fact that the no.9 lads teased us with a bus episode last series and are now promoting the last ever series with a preview of an episode about a different mode of public transport has to be the most elaborately beautiful middle finger to hardcore fans I have ever seen. Never change, guys, never change.

It's probably just a result of me binging Psychoville the other day, but Reece's character here looks exactly how I'd imagine an older Jeremy Goode.

Also, as a wise man once said; The tubes, THE TUBES!

I am so excited for series 9 of Inside No.9, the cast list looks insanely good!
