apocalypsos-- So for starters, I want to climb Olaf like a fucking tree. If we're playing Cliff, Shag, Marry, I'd cliff Anders (even though I adore him; I'm smart enough to recognize he is most definitely a sexist douchebag), marry Ty (well, really), and shag Olaf. A LOT.
-- I love Ty, I do, but I really hope he gets his godhood back. Not Hod, though. I don't know, I just ... I like him with Dawn, but at the same time I don't want him to be outcast all over the place. Not that I blame him for wanting to get rid of Hod, because being Hod really, really sucked for him. I'm kind of hoping that next season he actively goes after a new godhood, and finds a way to draw in one who isn't Hod. I do love the hell out of Ty, I just want something for him that lets him be with his brothers AND be with Dawn AND be a god AND not have to be Hod.
-- I wonder if it's wrong that not only do I like the prospect of Gaia as Idunn, I'm already shipping Anders/Gaia. I mean, I love Gaia and I don't want her to have to deal with Anders when he's being a total asshat, but at the same time I want Anders to grow up and I'm crossing every one of my fingers and toes that Helen's irritating behavior at the end of her life was all Helen and not Idunn. And I want her to sort of prod him into being a better person, although not perfect because, hi, Anders is never going to be a totally nice guy. But still.
Maybe I'm just a little tired of Axl and Gaia as a pairing. I also agree with what Gaia was arguing when she found out about Frigg and the Maori prophecy, which basically amounted to, "When do I get to make a choice here?" And then she really gets screwed over in the not-getting-to-make-a-choice department by ending up with Anders. I do want her to get to make her own choice, but at the same time I ... maybe want it to be Anders? You know, after a few episodes when he realizes that he's falling for her, and she's all torn between Axl and Anders because Gaia loves Axl but Idunn loves Braggi?
Or maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment. Because God knows I shipped Ty/Eva until she went ballistic knowing full well that she was going to go overboard eventually because I spoiled the hell out of myself.
-- I think I want all of that to happen because I really rather desperately want the series to end with Axl finding Frigg and everybody getting to be real gods. Even though they're mostly inept self-centered asshats whom I'm not sure I'd trust to run a lemonade stand, they're MY inept self-centered asshats. You know what I mean? I JUST WANT MY BABIES TO ASCEND, GODDAMN IT. Especially Axl and Olaf and, yes, Ty, so he better get his stupid godhood back.
-- It's not that I don't like Mike, though, even though I haven't mentioned him yet. I like second-season, not-stuck-in-an-uncomfortable-marital-situation, not-being-uber-responsible, using-his-powers-more-often Mike. Season one Mike was frustrating me to no end. I liked him better with Michelle anyway, and I don't even particularly like Michelle all that much. (She has her moments where I love her, but most of the time I'm like, Eh.)
-- One of my fondest wishes for next season would be that Zeb finds some way he can actually help that the others, that even Mike, can't just dismiss. I mean, look at the way he dealt with that giant. He's socially awkward and not particularly strong physically, but there's a brain in there somewhere. (I'm not going to lie, I do have what will almost definitely be an unfulfilled wish that Zeb turns out to be a god, too, AND ends up as Freki, since we already established that Freki's dead, so his godhood would be available. I just adore Zeb in all his social awkwardness and want him to get to join in on the reindeer games, you know?)
-- I hope we get to see more displays of Axl's powers. I like it when he gets to be all strong-warrior-guy. I have watched that sword fight with Loki about eleventy billion times since yesterday.
-- Don't even ask me how many times I've rewatched the "Anders and Ty go on an extended date" scenes in that one episode. Because, HONESTLY. Anders poked Ty in his crotch with a large stick.
I really should not be shipping a character whose entire sex life is one big consent debate with ANYONE, but ... well.
-- I spend so many episodes just wanting to hug Ingrid and go smoke weed with her. Which is impressive considering I've never had any desire to smoke weed.
-- I seriously hope Loki gets hit by a bus before the series ends. Don't get me wrong -- the actor is fantastically smarmy, and it's a credit to his work just how much I haaaaaaaaate Loki.
-- I have this enormous soft spot for Stacey because her god power seems to basically be "cleaning up after other gods" and that's got to suck. At least Olaf was cool about it. But then again, he's Olaf. He's cool about everything.

Date: 2013-02-20 07:46 pm (UTC)I'm not really a fan of Ty/Dawn and hope she keeps not remembering him. I think he was using her as a chance to be normal and that not fair to either of them. I actually liked Eva (Hel) and thought she should have stuck around.
I hope the next season doesn't ignore the Maori gods and they hang out and find their goddess. I'm not sure how that'd work but this show is not place for logic and reason.
Fic wise, I need someone to write the story of "newly freed god spirit, Idunn, enters recently emptyed god vessel, Ty, instead of Gaia, and goes after Anders (Bragi)."

Date: 2013-02-20 08:18 pm (UTC)I KNOW, RIGHT?! I want to dangle the whole damn show in front of everybody I know and be all, "Looooooook, eye candy. Mmmmm."

OMG, tell me about it. I thought Eva and Ty were so incredibly hot together, and I really wish she hadn't gone nuts and started threatening everybody. I think my biggest problem with Dawn is like you mentioned, how he is kind of using her because she's mortal, and I *really* need for her to know. Partly because I want her to be able to react to the whole god thing -- I'm hoping it'll be badly, because I'm a masochist that way -- but also because I want her to smack Anders upside the head every so often. She *is* the closest thing he has to a friend, after all. (It's kind of hilarious, in that I don't dislike him with Dawn, but if I had a choice between keeping Ty/Dawn or Anders trying in his own weird way to keep his only friend, I want the second one.
I hope they keep the Maori gods, too. I think I'll like them a lot better with the Gaia/Frigg stuff out of the way.

... DAMN YOU.
(Have you checked out the AJ kink meme? Because I've already contributed one or two prompts, and seen a few I'm tempted to write.)
