when i explain to people in real life that mastodon isn't about virality or engagement, just vibes and scrolling through pleasant stuff and missing stuff sometimes, they look at me like i must be doing it wrong instead of like i'm doodling in a journal with my friends

people just finding out that a lot of the celebrities are bad

as someone that has only ever interacted with progressive content and engages with progressive news about mamdani, tiktok is now *exclusively* surfacing anti-mamdani content to me in a way that cannot be described as anything but intentional

nell scovell’s bewitched-themed episode of charmed was top tier

many charmed developments in season 4 but it’s important that we discuss the 1940s party they throw at p3. psychotic theme, execution was even more psychotic. this was POST-9/11

charmed has a power rangers problem: the demons could all just attack at once but somehow… don’t?

in the universe of charmed, an advice columnist at small, city-specific newspaper has a full time job and their own office

magic!

the don’t-call-it-buffy vampire-themed episode was better than i remembered but they mostly seemed happy that buffy’s move to upn meant they could do it

no comment

season 5 of charmed is weird but the baby stuff works if you ignore that brad kern clearly made wyatt a boy in his continuing efforts to make the show about men

100th episode of charmed was utterly delightful. i wish the network had let them have more in-universe fun and celebrated the show more! a tour de force

now, the leprechaun episode of charmed… 😵💫 why did any of this even happen???

beyond the cheesy “magical creatures” saturation and irish stereotypes, phoebe (the one that can SEE THE FUTURE) spends the episode trying to prove that nobody will ever fall in love over the internet

then pat benatar, playing herself, shows up at their front door? and knows the leprechaun, who makes a “hit me with your best shot” pun? what is the plot?????

krista vernoff somehow wrote a banger clip show episode of charmed. she deserves an emmy for that

of the frequent episode writers for charmed, krista vernoff is by far my favorite and always delivers the core aspects that make the show special and beloved

ZACHARY QUINTO WAS ON CHARMED???? how did i not realize this!

losing followers for posting about charmed only makes me wanna post about charmed MORE and i WILL

how did charmed never do a 3d episode

THE TRANS EPISODE:
● prue immediately has dysphoria and piper is supportive, which is nice
● they name him the very trans name "manny"
● should the charmed ones open a magical gender clinic and save some people's lives/time/money? yes. they won't.
● manny is horny and has emotional regulation problems. sorry boys, typical
● manny's dating profile pops the fuck off with responses, thanks to his understanding of women's fears. congrats boys, typical
● piper's pronoun self-corrections 🥺

i have to say, the title sequence of charmed is exquisite at explaining the premise and their powers to new audiences each week, without talking down to viewers or making it feel like a retread for loyal fans. i've never appreciated that but whoever made it deserves a raise

CHARMED DID A THOUGHTFUL AND EXCELLENT EPISODE ABOUT TRANSGENDER ISSUES (but unfortunately did not portray any actual transgender people) WHICH I DIDN'T REMEMBER/SEE COMING AND AM DELIGHTED BY

GO CHARMED!
