Eddie, in the middle of a live-stream: Oh, Steve just got home. Hey, Stevie! C’mere, Sweetheart.

Steve: Yeah?

Eddie: Wanna go to the movies on Saturday?

Steve, lighting up like Christmas: Like a date?

Eddie: Yeah, baby. Like a date. Me, you, and the movies. Sound like a plan?

Steve: Totally!

Eddie, turning back to the camera: Awesome, you heard it here first. Steve and I will be at the premiere of-

Steve: What? Eddie-

Eddie: No take backs! You already said yes. We’re locked in

my joke dlc stage scenario where ziluan is sent by cao cao to spy on sima yi but chunhua (as a young girl) tries to kill him to hide that he was faking illness to avoid working for cao cao

[kvetchinglyneurotic]

Semi-coherent Nope thought of the day: the way that the Haywoods and Ricky/Jupe understand and react to Jean Jacket is an extension of the way they navigate the experience of working in Hollywood as POC.

Ricky cannot differentiate his identity and experiences from the narratives which Hollywood has imposed on him: he's the Asian kid from Gordy's Home and Kid Sheriff; he still calls himself Jupe and runs a theme park based on a role he played as a child. He relates to the Gordy's Home incident not through the lens of his own memories but the media around it — the SNL sketch he describes to Emerald, the memorabilia in the hidden shrine in his office. It's his inability to conceptualize the world outside the lens of spectacle that prevents him from understanding what Jean Jacket is and why she behaves the way she does — he starts from the assumption that he can make her into a theme park attraction and works backwards from there.

In contrast, the Haywoods and OJ in particular are characterized by their ability to see things as they are, and their insistence that others do the same with them: they make a deliberate effort to combat the erasure of Black people in Hollywood — and their own ancestors in particular — by recounting the history of Haywoods' Hollywood Horses at the start of each safety meeting rather than resigning themselves to being the nameless "horse guys." Similarly, OJ refuses to accept the official narrative surrounding his father's death — that the coin that killed him fell out of a prop plane — when it contradicts his own memories of the event, and it's his trust in his own judgement, coupled with his refusal to anthropomorphize animals (including extraterrestrial ones) is what allows him to accurately predict Jean Jacket's behaviour. Neither Jupe nor the Haywoods deserve to be treated the way they are under the Hollywood system, but OJ and Em find a way to avoid being (literally) consumed by it, while Jupe does not.

"I came to thank you for the gift you offered me. The gift I denied"

[diantheia]

For the polycule, I love the idea of non-lethal boss fights in the mines. Dupe and Hide trying to help Figure pinpoint the human's location in the room so they can just get everyone home already. Shouting suggestions might be more annoying than helpful, though. As is laughing when the human slid between Figgy's legs that one time.

Screech begging the Queen to help them get their best friend back, promising everyone will be out of her territory as soon as they are found. Can't be too hard to carry a human in a mouth like that, and they'll make a lovely bargaining chip.

And Dam Seek fully intending to drag them into their slime and through the pipes like some sort of fucked up water-slide, all the way home. One where the water itself is both keeping you trapped on the ride and actively scolding you as you are carried through the darkness.

Between that and the minecart chase, amusement parks might be ruined for this particular human.

Pov: Seek dragging you through the pipes.

Also, the false hope of actually beating dam Seek. Like, holy fuck, you made it outside??? Are you free at last??? Only to arrive at the castle and get ambushed by Grumble Queen, who then gets ambushed by Seek. Better get running into that castle now.

“Villain, I swear to fucking god, let me in!” Hero shouts, pouding on the door. She rests her forehead against the door and stops banging on it for a second. “Please, Villain. Let me in.” 

She pulls away from the door and takes a few steps back before ramming her shoulder into the door, tearing it away from the hinges and sending it flying into the room. 

Villain’s standing in the corner of the room with a baseball bat in hand, reared up and ready to use. He shouts, “Stay away from me!”

Hero freezes and holds her hands out, “Villain…what are you doing? It’s just me.” 

He shakes his head, “No, they’re coming for me. You said- you promised- I’d be safe here. But they’re still coming. They know about this place and they know you’ve been helping me. And they’re gonna-” 

“Villain,” Hero snaps. She walks up to him and takes the bat from his hands. “No one knows about this place, because it doesn’t technically exist. Ok? You are safe here.” 

His eyes are locked on the bat, hanging loosely in Hero’s hand at her side. He shakes his head and peeks his head past the window frame, “I saw them. They were looking from the trees.” 

“Villain, I need you to look at me.” Hero drops the bat on the ground and takes Villain’s face in her hands. “I have security cameras at every angle around this place. There are locks and alarms on all the doors and windows, and locks on all the interior doors in case anyone manages to get in. There’s no-look at me- no way anyone is getting to you.” 

She wipes a tear from his face with the pad of her thumb and nods. He swallows thickly and whispers, “Ok.” 

She smiles forcefully and lets him go, “I’ll put the door back on, let me go get my tools.” 

As she turns out of the hallway and goes down the stairs to get her toolbox, all the alarms sound. Villain screams from his room and a window breaks. 

Hero runs up the stairs, tools forgotten and shouts, “Villain?!” 

She races to his room and finds it empty, with the window in pieces on the ground. There’s a piece of paper on the bed. 

“You should’ve listened to him.”

Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian (2019) Chapter 2: The Child

S1E2

After fighting off some bounty hunters who were tracking the child, the Mandalorian returns to his ship to find it scavenged by Jawas. Kuill directs him to trade with the Jawas in order to get the parts back. The Jawas demand he retrieve "The Egg." When the Mandalorian enters the cave, he discovers that it is the nest of a giant horned beast that attacks him.

*About sixty percent of this episode is told without any dialogue. The first line is spoken eleven minutes into the 31-minute episode.

The thought of Pied Piper would be inside the palanquin with parted curtains and sitting seiza? Yes? No? Okay. Time for the procession!

Instead he be sweating inside that wooden Fifi disguise, reevaluating why he accepted the job offer from Rumpelstiltskin in the first place 😂.

wait i wanna ask a character question too what do you think of bonnie's gum family

I Think They’re Neat! i really wish we had the time to see more of them, because i think i would really like them if we just got to spend more time with them. gumbald being such a Parallel/Dark Reflection of bonnie is super fun and interesting conceptually, and chicle is funny as hell. i don’t have anything to say about lolly just that she seems nice. basically i enjoy the Idea of them, i like the Potential they have, but we see so so little of them that i almost forget they exist :(

OH LAST MINUTE ADDITION HE DOESN’T FALL UNDER THE UMBRELLA PPL ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY SAY “BONNIES GUM FAMILY” BUT LIKE

Honestly, miss my old blog that I deleted in a fit of upset and anger (that my ex-best friend shared it with other friends against my knowledge because I talked about gender shit on there years before I was out as trans) in 2014 mostly because I'll never know what all my old Glee mutuals are blogging about these days

[stargazerdaisy]

That was one of my favorite episodes of Revenge and that's exactly why I'm starting the next episode at 10:30pm. WHY MUST I HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW AND NOT JUST BINGE THROUGH THE REST OF THE SERIES?!?!
