#I THOUGHT THATS WHAT WAS SETTLED ON

[miiilowo]

I just imagine you holding William and crying and it looks like a beautiful Renaissance painting

Also I think the new book stuff is them getting tired of the theories and shit and are trying to give answers so we focus more on the new stuff so its more popular and successful

I think this may be the final nail in the coffin of quality in the fandom

MY POOR BOY. MY POOR POOR BOY WHAT DO I DO. HES DYING HES BLEEDING OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND GETTING POSSESSED BY AN EVIL SPIRIT

can we just talk about how heartbreaking sharon's, alice's, and lilia's deaths are knowing that it's just all billy's illusion. especially lilia- that episode fucking kills you on its own, but then ADD ON the fact that her sacrifice was for so much less than she believes; like she thought she was not only saving their lives, but their grand mission past the desperation of a hopeless situation. the fact that it was all created and perpetuated by the very people she saved just twists the knife doesn't it. like her whole life revolved around a singular day's worth of a magicked-up acid trip.

oh and alice, oh alice. at least the show captured the impact of her abrupt conclusion- to finally break free from your generational curse that destroyed your family for so long, just to be conned into dying not even a few hours later. her life just started and then it was over.

oohhhh i want to discuss this band au with someone so bad. im wracking my brain. most my knowledge on bands unfortunately stems from watching things with bands in them rather than personal playing experience though... right now im splitting the boys into 2 bands. ignore the fact four could probably have a four direction all on his own for one i did consider making warriors a frontman/lead in the band. however i think itd be much more funny if for example, he had an urge to show off to the audience (because, of course) and wanted to be the lead soo so bad, but his other band members just dont allow him the luxury so hes really annoyed by that.

Since I've shared more of my reading interests on here lately, I thought I'd share my rant about the insanity of the book The Princess Bride by William Goldman. Yes. This is the book that is the same story as the popular older movie The Princess Bride.

I'll start this by saying I've never been so affronted by a book before. The closest would be the ending of the first Mortal Engines books (which if you know you know). That ending actually drove me nuts enough that I recall it quite often when thinking about insane books. However, the Princess Bride blows that chaos out of the water.

Not only is the book halted by a lot of extra nonsense that the author throws in of his own thoughts and opinions because part of the story is that he is retelling a book he read as a child and abridging it. The book in question doesn't exist so this is all made up and fantastical. I'm usually down for the silly and extra from writers. I've read Good Omens and plan to read some of the Discworld series sooner rather than later. I obviously recently finished the Hobbit and LoTR. But that is the fun silly that I love. Whatever the fuck is in the Princess Bride bridges on insanity.

The book is mostly the same as the movie EXCEPT for the ending. In the movie, it ends with Buttercup, Westley, Fezzik and Inigo riding off. In the book, it goes further. In to the most insane shit I've ever read in a published book. It's genuinely insane crack fic level material.

Like WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THEY GET SAVED BY THE PIRATES FROM THE PRINCE'S SOLIDERS BUT HAVE TO LEAVE THE BOAT IN WHICH FEZZIK IS INCHARGE OF ROWING. HE ROWS THEM INTO A WHIRLPOOL WHICH IS WHEN WESTLEY SPEAKS UP AND SAYS THAT THEY HAVE TO SWIM THROUGH THE WHIRLPOOL TO GET TO AN INASSECIBLE ISLAND WHERE THE PRINCE CANT FOLLOW. THIS HAPPENS AND THEN BUTTERCUP WHILE THEY ARE CHILLING ESSENTIALLY TURNS TO WESTLEY AND SAYS LETS HAVE SEX FINALLY. THAT SEX GETS BUTTERCUP PREGNANT WHICH ENDS UP LEADING TO A BIRTH WHERE THE BABY IS BACKWARDS AND TANGLED AND POTENTIAL WILL DIE ONLY FOR FEZZIK IS GET FUCKING POSSESSED AND SHOW UP AND DELIVERY THE BABY SAFELY. THEN THERES A TIME JUMP TO WHERE FEZZIK IS SAVING THE BABY AFTER SHE WAS KIDNAPPED AND HE JUMPS OFF A CLIFF TO SAVE HER AND THANKFULLY THEY SURVIVE BUT THATS WHERE THE BOOK FUCKING ENDS.

WHAT THE GENUIENE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS BOOK. WHAT THE FUCK

maybe its just my tendency to make characters from my fav media a found family - glancing at the outlanders from tlg - but i really think madagascar has found family potential. at least to me. i love it when a bunch of characters are put through such hyper-specific circumstances that it binds them together. its like... Accidental Family. “i never thought i'd care about you/spend time with you but we've been shoved into the same circumstance one way or another so we're ride or die now”. thats the zoosters, penguins, monkeys, lemurs & circus zaragoza to me. their experiences are so weird and wacky (and traumatic), they have to bond. they stick together yknow

lime has such a special place in my heart. like hes such a prominent character in the story and even though he was one of the first ones made i still have a hard time finding something to do with his arc that is satisfying to me and brings justice to him as a character,.,

No but the obsession with Colin's theoretical sex life is crazy to me.

Like people are genuinely upset that he could have potentially had sex?? Shaming him for doing something we know hes been mocked about for not doing? Like we see Anthony accuse him of only trying to marry because hes a virgin, you all remember that right? His older brother sees him pursuing a relationship, something he would have noticed earlier if he hadn't been so single minded the entire time, and instead of offering any like useful advice immediately goes and throws that in his face.

If he wanted to have sex just so it couldn't be used against him ever again I wouldn't be surprised. If he did that's fine, and if he doesn't thats literally also fine.

Like maybe its the fact that I also see a lot of people who talk about him needing to be a virgin talk about him being nerodivergent, so it seems kinda infantlizing to me, especially mixed in with the need to portray him like hes stupid but this rubs me so wrong.

Its literally a non-issue why are some of you so hard up on this.

Every time I write kandrew I go through like six stages of grief about how I want them to be portrayed and then ultimately I just throw my hands up and start writing whatever the demon kicking its feet and twirling its hair demands of me and hope that works for somebody's palate

okay here are my thoughts on pj/hazel as a ship (from bottoms which i will probably be hyperfixating on for a bit sorry not sorry)

i guess I appreciate them as ship but i'm having a hard time getting quite on board with it just bc i'm really tired of the trope (idk if it's a trope but I see it frequently) of character A is a total asshole to character B consistently and then like... apologizes once (or not at all) and then B just forgives them immediately and it's fine. like idk i don't like ships where one character is mean to the other, it feels like there's an imbalance there. yeah pj apologized but i lowkey felt like hazel was too quick to forgive her and hazel deserves someone who doesn't make fun of her and is not mean to her 24/7 and who actually shows their appreciation of her and love for her and doesn't make her feel bad about herself, not just someone who enjoys kissing her yknow???
