Honour among thieves is good in ways that drive me a bit insane thinking about the state of modern fantasy in film/television.
Like, the scenes in the underdark were visible?!?! You know that in GoT or whatever other production that shit would be impossible to see because it's the underdark or whatever. But like no!?! The place was conveyed to be underground and fucked up and I could hear everything?!!
Also, Edgin expresses complicated feelings like sadness and self loathing and he's not belittles for it! The party sits on the rock with him and then he introspects and is framed as a positive male character who's not the most physically capable in a fight!
Holga's divorce, Simon's arc, these things drive me fucking insane because there's a lot of angsty shit in this film but it's not a sad film! There is love and joy and happiness in this shitty found family who bicker and support each other. I just, need shit like this, I need Avengers Tower Fics of the party because I genuinely believe they care about each other and that feels like almost a rarity
As someone who has actually talked myself out of going to the rink for "feeling too fat," this post of someone showcasing their talent and love of a sport reminds me just how much more work I have to do to unlearn the fat hate I have accumulated over a lifetime. I wish her centuries of peaceful unbothered-ness, gorgeous spirals, and clean edges <3
