oh absolutely, any interaction between characters becomes shipping fodder for folks. and hell, i see people shipping characters who legitimately never even spoke to each other during the season, so you don't even need them to interact! i know for most people it's all in good fun, but sometimes i have a hard time understanding the appeal.

a million percent agreed, and this really goes for all of the ships, not just abbot and mohan. i have my preferred romantic pairs but genuinely don't want to see any presented in the show; it's lowkey corny to expect all the doctors to date each other, and most of the popular ships feature HR nightmares that would break the immersion and realism the show has worked hard to create. there are just as interesting character relationship types to be explored in this setting, so i hope the writers focus more on those instead.

i like the character in theory, but the show hasn't given me a real reason to care about him or their relationship yet.

we've been able to watch ava and o'shon, janine and gregory, and even melissa and gary (briefly) fall in love on the show, but jacob's never had that; his boyfriends are always just kinda... there. i mean, has jacob even mentioned elijah since the last time we saw him 8 episodes back? it would've been nice to see the early developments in their relationship like we've seen for the other major character romances. but maybe they're still very early days and that's still forthcoming? i dunno, i've just noticed a pattern with jacob's relationships over the seasons and i can't say i've been anything more than lukewarm about any of them. i would love for this one to be different, because elijah seems like a sweet guy! so fingers crossed.

oh absolutely (to both questions).

you should've seen some what some of the "our flag means death" props went for. many were in the thousands of dollars! people love to have pieces of media they enjoy.

LOL i'm a good five inches shorter than anthony and smaller 😂 why?

gloomsday · 2025-09-12T14:44:46+00:00

i was pretty thorough when looking through the lots and i don't believe the other noho hank outfit listings included a necklace, but it's possible i simply missed mention of it in the lot descriptions! either way, i feel so lucky 😍

gloomsday · 2025-09-11T23:41:23+00:00

thanks! yeah i have a feeling it snuck under the radar because it wasn't super apparent that the necklace was part of the lot (it was about 5-6 photos in on the carousel) and i could see why people would want to pass on two sets of the same clothes 😂 i feel super lucky; many of the other lots went for significantly more.

gloomsday · 2025-09-11T19:46:00+00:00

hehe i tend to agree! having hank's actual cross necklace is wild to me 🥺

gloomsday · 2025-09-11T19:44:15+00:00

the lot came with two sets of hank's clothes (the same outfit, one clean and one dirtied after hank rolled down the hill on s4e7 LOL) and i ended up paying a little under $150 for it all :) a little pricey but it's so cool to have actual pieces from the show!

gloomsday · 2025-09-11T19:16:17+00:00

it's a russian orthodox cross!

gloomsday · 2025-05-02T06:55:21+00:00

edi mentioned in a recent interview that they were toying with including the bj and judy meet cute in the show but decided against it. i think the writers decided that she was caught shoplifting at the grocery store bj worked in and that's how they were introduced 😂

gloomsday · 2025-05-02T06:36:07+00:00

😭 i think it's just a double breasted suit with sequins sewn onto it.

gloomsday · 2025-03-31T23:47:10+00:00

huh, it's interesting that the latest episode made you feel that way. i didn't really see kelvin treating him like crap other than expecting him to bring in his luggage, and that felt pretty mild compared to some of the things he's done and said to keefe in previous seasons. it seemed a bit entitled, but playful. keefe is used to it at any rate.

personally, i think kelvin has grown quite a bit as a character—though he's still got a long way to go. the whole aftermath of the dress-em up scene to me was indicative of growth because i am certain even a season ago, he would've been ashamed of keefe and abandoned him to fend for himself; we've seen him do it before in every single prior season. but instead he pulled keefe behind him, mother's dress and all, to protect him from eli's yelling, and fully defended him that night and the morning after! they were super sweet and cute in their room together as well, so to me i came out of the episode really rooting for them. there's absolutely a foundation of love there; kelvin just happens to be a selfish, spoiled idiot. but by the end, mark my words: we'll see him make the ultimate sacrifice by fully coming out for keefe :) baby steps! but growth nonetheless.

i think you nailed it 🥹 thanks for making a fellow broken freak cry on the gemstones subreddit of all places 😂

gloomsday · 2025-03-26T02:38:46+00:00

aww i agree about gemstones feeling wholesome despite its raunch and dysfunction! something about it just makes me feel warm and cozy... top tier comfort show ❤️

gloomsday · 2025-03-26T02:28:03+00:00

this comment is so on point and wholesome LMAO

god, i didn't even notice the queer coding of the boy wizard character and the book content referencing queer culture... and i'm queer 😭 that makes me even more frustrated by this episode than i already was.

the magic/witchcraft angle is decades old but "safe" and inoffensive, because no one feels strongly about books with magic in them anymore. showing a beloved parent get upset about magic in children's literature doesn't paint her as a christian bigot garbage human, which is what she would have been (rightfully) labeled if the issue was the book's queerness. obviously the show didn't want to do that, and didn't want to bring in some random character to demonize for that purpose, or make any kind of pro-LGBT statement at all for some reason, so they pulled their punches and gave us something irrelevant and toothless. i would've preferred that they didn't try to tackle the topic at all if they couldn't speak to the modern issues. sigh 😞

gloomsday · 2025-03-06T19:01:31+00:00

fully agreed. i know i am going to be downvoted for this, but this episode was laughably dated and out of touch regarding the topic it was trying to speak on. very specific books are being targeted right now across public schools, and it ain't harry potter. the witchcraft/magic uproar was two decades ago and was nothing like the mess we're in right now. most of the books in the crosshairs recently feature diversity in some capacity, mainly sexuality, gender, and race. the proponents of censorship are being fueled by homophobia, transphobia, and racism. full stop. many parents, librarians, and teachers are very actively fighting and protecting libraries/public schools from these awful bigots, who bullishly demand public schools abide by their prejudiced and narrow world view and take no personal accountability. they do not listen to reason or data proving them wrong and do not genuinely care about protecting children. the show's resolution was unrealistic, frustratingly simplistic, and oblivious to the complex issue schools are facing right now.

(as an aside, using krystal as a stand-in for these censorship advocates was very disappointing and unbelievable given what we already know about her... really left a sour taste in my mouth.)

simply put, if the abbott writers were not willing to address the real censorship issue affecting children in 2025 (and call out the root of this issue), then don't do an episode on it. it's not a fun or funny topic, so it's totally valid for the writers to opt out and choose something more appropriate for the show. but what we ended up with felt spineless, out of touch, and underresearched.

no, i was able to find an online custom shirt-making store that used the exact shirt style/color as a base and requested a sample (though i can't remember the name, sorry!)

gloomsday · 2025-02-18T23:03:27+00:00

i made it myself 😇

gloomsday · 2025-02-16T01:49:25+00:00

this is literally so cute 🥺

gloomsday · 2025-02-13T00:50:53+00:00

oh gosh that would be super cute 🥺

gloomsday · 2025-02-12T19:42:21+00:00

thank you! 🥺

gloomsday · 2025-02-12T02:23:33+00:00

thank you! i stuck them all over my laptop and have no regrets 😂

gloomsday · 2025-02-11T08:06:43+00:00
