#Don't take this too seriously

You couldn't take Astarion to see Nosferatu in the theater. Not because it'd be triggering for him or anything. But because every five minutes, he'd turn to you with the saddest eyes imaginable and hysterically ask, "I don't look like that, right?! Most vampires don't look like that!" And you'd have to reassure him through the whole 132 minutes run time.

'Polyphemus' from Epic the musical if Polyphemus was a biblically accurate angel:

Odysseus: I'm so glad we see eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye... Polites: Is he going to stop? Eurylochus: No, I think he's going to count every eye...

Due to a mixture of Disney advertising the Book of Bill as being 18+ and also Billford shippers flourishing, I was very disappointed when I read it and it was more of a 13+ book and didn't contain a 60 page long graphic sex scene with Bill and Ford. (Joking. The book was good)

Both are correct lol

(Also, artists that can draw horror art style of Dottore - please teach me 🙏 you have my utmost respect, because it's harder than it looks to nail the vibe.)

A date with every SKZ member except it's the worst possible date they could take you on.

I.N.

The "date" consists on you sitting in his room while he tries on every single piece of clothing he owns to find the perfect outfit to go out. By the time he's done everything is closed and you're fast asleep.

Chan

He takes you to his studio to watch him make songs with his headphones on for sixteen hours. No, you can't listen to what he's working on to avoid leaks. At least he looks hot while working.

Changbin

You invited him for Netflix and Chill so you pick a brainless action movie to not-watch together. He gets so invested in it he completely forgets about the "and Chill" part. This is how you find out he's the type to speak during the whole movie and scream at the characters as if they could hear him.

Hyunjin

You decide to go to one of those cafes where they have little canvases for couples to paint together. He gets so engrossed in his art he ends up completely ignoring you, then has a very dramatic and sassy discussion with the owner about the "correct" way to brew an espresso. Hyunjin is in the wrong but, on God, this is the hill he'll die on. You get banned from the cafe.

Felix

He genuinely thinks playing League of Legends together—each in your own house– is a good idea for a date. He forgets to teach you how to play. At least you get to learn some new and creative ways of cursing. "I will fvck ur dad and get pregnant to give him a son he actually loves, u cvnt" sounds good in his voice.

Han

The date starts out relatively ok but Han is the type to attract bad luck at random so, by the end of the night you're dripping wet with dirty river water, a goose bit you, you've both been arrested, and you're pretty sure you've caught some type of ancient curse from that weird old lady. You just wanted to go for some ramen and a walk at the park.

Seungmin

You were pleasantly surprised when he showed up at your job on his car.

"Get in, loser, we're going to commit tax fraud"

And you do. He's actually very good at it.

Lee Know

You thought you were going on a date. Now you're an accomplice for murder. You can't even be mad at him, he's adorable when he's laughing maniacally.

Terrible theory, but I think part of the reason everyone in Port Townsend falls for Edwin is the accent. Yes, both Charles and Edwin have a British accent, but Edwin has the stereotypically "Hot, British Accent" (from a North American perspective).

Also mostly from my civilian AU, here are sports that I can see the batfam do as non professional hobbies. Kinda scared to post this ngl, I feel like some of y'all will not share the vision, but also it's really not that deep

Barbara: Okinawa Kobudo, she's especially proficient with the bo

Dick: juggling (will do it at any given moment, no warning)

Cass: dance, obviously ballet but I could see her doing other dances too, maybe contemporary jazz and acro-stuff, I just want her to have fun and explore all the possibilities.

Jason: maybe my biggest hear me out, figure skating. He has the balance, the flexibility, the creativity and sensitivity. When I used to play the piano, there would be this form of vulnerability and emotional drifting in synch with the music, when you pour your heart into creating and in return feel transformed, which is something that never happens when I write or draw although I love those things. I can definitely see Jason going to ice skate when things are messy in his head and getting into that sort of similar headspace.

Steph: Roller Derby

Tim: skateboarding

Duke: I'm thinking parkour (I see a lot of videos of parkour in sort of indoor gyms with bars and structures that looks really fun and challenging, that's what I'm picturing)

Damian: I don't picture civilian Damian doing that many sports but if I had to choose maybe karate? Open to suggestions

Harper: paintball/ laser tag (she designed the guns. If she likes you they're just lasers).

Kate: general conditioning & athleticism + male gymnastics, because that's an almost completely different discipline and she likes that one better

Bruce: generic conditioning/weight lifting lifting, gotta pick that body in peak condition to carry his colony of children on each arm. He's also proficient in bike football from that one time he went to Germany.

Luke: kite flying (with complex, beautiful kites of he designed himself)

bbc merlin - 04x05 His Father's Son

the thing is....the thing is, he didn't have to say any of this. well, he didn't need to think any of it, but that's on him. what possessed him to say any of this out loud? the sharing a bed line was already enough, but to follow that up with "don't be here when i come back"?? like yeah, you're leaving and not telling merlin where you're going or when you'll be back, and sure, maybe, perhaps merlin would wait up (although, servant track record says.....unlikely), but how about "i won't require your services later, you're free to go" or something? and yet. "don't be here when i come back". as if YOU yourself didn't come up with the bed sharing idea. need to study his brain.

How gay are the Hoyo leading ladies?

[marvelmaniac715]

Delgado's Master was the Master's twelfth incarnation, whilst the Doctor was only on their third at the time. This begs the question... what on earth was the Master doing that caused so many regenerations? I mean, presumably planet takeovers, but how clumsy was he? What sort of slapstick, Wile E. Coyote shenanigans was he getting into that made him burn through so many bodies in such a relatively short amount of time? I need to know! I need a montage sequence set to 'Dumb Ways To Die'!

The Boys S4: Is it just me or...

Okay, anyone who knows me knows I love this show. And I don't mean to be overly critical, but...there's something missing for me in season 4. 🤔

Episode 4 brought me back in a bit more this week, but I have thoughts and just wanted to get them out. Which of course you don't have to agree with, if you so choose to dive below the cut. 😂

So here we go! Highlights and lowlights (and **spoilers**): ⤵️

Sorry in advance for my slightly stream of conscious-style thought process.

Lowlights (so far):

Kimiko x Frenchie: Violently pushing down something you built up for 2.75 seasons? Because "being more than that/family" can also be romantic? Why do you hate the fans, Kripke? 😂

The political "satire" is getting a bit old for me. A lot of the same jokes over and over. However, the problem of taking out Victoria Neuman is a very intriguing conundrum (and Bob Singer sweating over it while trying to keep supes out of the military/law enforcement is keeping me hooked).

THAT Rob scene: lmfao come on now. This was for gross shock value and nothing else. Even the exploding dick and Love Sausage in S3 served a narrative purpose. (But I enjoyed the footnote commentary while watching it on Prime: Rob B. apparently wants to remind everyone that he's a Shakespearean-trained actor. 🤣) I’m actually more disappointed that he didn’t have a more meaningful role in the show, because he really is a fantastic actor and I was looking forward to seeing what his character would bring. (Not that lmao.)

Overall, the season just feels...emptier than seasons 1-3? Maybe that has to do with the lack of Soldier Boy's gravitas as a new antagonist, and connecting the entire narrative and various conflicts of the season -- all while shedding light on the grisly past of Payback, Grace Mallory, and Stan Edgar. Stormfront also brought that ante up in season 2 in a similar way, all while shedding light on Vought's sordid history with the creation of Compound V.

We're missing the layers here in season 4. Now, this could just be because we haven't seen the full season yet as well, but that's what I see so far.

I think it also has to do with the odd dynamic the boys side is in right now. With Butcher on the fringe of the group, and the others splintered off on their own side plots, it feels like the supes' side of things are more...for lack of a better term, "unified" in the narrative.

Which I realize is probably to reverse parallel the state of each side in season 3. But it just feels "off" to me somehow, since we're supposed to be just as invested in the boys side lol.

Highlights:

Butcher and Ryan: Butcher's doing his best there now, and it soothes my heart.

Ryan's slowly seeing the consequences of his choice to join Homelander. In fact, I'm wondering where Ryan is in episode 4. Hiding in his room?

The Khan Worm that appears to be inside Butcher is both frightening and intriguing. I wonder if this is the key to saving his life? Or just another lovely side effect of taking V24 long term. 🐛

JDM (Joe) and Butcher: All their scenes were golden. And that subtle John Winchester reference? Being willing to train up his son to be a killer? Being able to grieve at his son's funeral, knowing he "saved the world?" *Chef's kiss* 🤌🏽

(And if Butcher or Joe end up being the one to break Soldier Boy out of his cryo coffin, my fangirl heart will freak TF out. 🤣)

The way that Homelander is noticing his age is fucking hilarious. Bet you wish you had that life longevity from your father/sperm donor, dont'cha? 😂

But also the way Homelander "confronted" his past in E4 had some truly WTF/Holy Shit™️ moments, in a good way. As in, I'm once again afraid of this unhinged psychopath--kind of way. 😅

A-Train continuing to struggle internally with the place he's fought so hard to keep in the Seven, versus recognizing the evil around him, his own complicity, wanting forgiveness from Hughie, and wanting a true connection with others (namely his family).

It's interesting that Hughie's mom is being brought back in at this time. And even MORE interesting that she seems to be the one who gave her ex-husband Compound V. Her story of why she left her family seemed so normal that I actually got a little suspicious of her. But now, even more so. 🤨

M.M. doing his fucking best. (Except for the way he suddenly had a change of heart about Butcher in E4. Not sure about that one.)

Tilda effing Swinton voicing Ambrosius. PLEASE. My Queen. 😭🤣🤣

I actually had more lowlights before I watched episode 4. There were some really interesting moments that literally had me gasping in shock (this time in a good way), more so than in the first 3 episodes. However, I still think seasons 1-3 were stronger from the get-go.

But even with my lingering reservations, now I'm actually more so looking forward to getting into the meat of the season in this second-half coming up. 👏🏽

I'm just imagining a scene where Jinx visits Ekko in Zaun after an extended period of time. She opens her arms wide, beckoning Ekko to hug her. With an apologetic face, she says "Did you miss me?".

When Ekko runs to hug her, she smirks evilly and suplexes him. With Ekko crumpled on the ground, she mounts him and cackles, "Now we're even from the bridge!"

Then they make out and fuck, the end.
