OMG EGO HAVE YOU SEEN THE BOOK 7 CATER CARD YET

80s britpunk Cater is such an incredible direction to take. his Sid Vicious jacket! his little british police cap! I wouldn't have anticipated that going full-on Sex Pistols would be his alternate self but it is SO fitting actually. 😭

(also th-the crown symbol?! the gavel?! is housewarden Cater real because I will TRANSCEND --)

The Undetectables

urban fantasy mystery

follows a young witch who formed a detective agency with her friends as teens, but they never managed to solve their first case (figuring out who killed the ghost who is now her best friend)

when they’re 20, the other witches have moved away and on with their lives, but she’s feeling stuck dealing with pain from her fibromyalgia

when they get a letter with a new case - the suspicious death of a human with seemingly no clues or evidence other than a haunting whistle, and they get back together to see if they can solve it this time

bi, lesbian, and gay MCs

uh for your ask game – either DS9 or Voyager for who would make the best roommate?

Oooh, I'm gonna DS9 this!

(I'm ranking this without taking into consideration any partners or kids that would usually be sharing a character's space - for this, everyone's the singlest of pringles :P )

Sisko - He's respectful of your space, easy to get along with, and he loves to cook and feed anyone within touch range. 10/10 could not ask for a better roomie.

Ezri - Only downside is that it's possibly a bit awkward to get counselling... but she's great, a super lovely roommate.

Odo - He doesn't *want* a roommate, but if it's really necessary he'll put up with it... and avoid the room as much as possible. He'll probably organise your schedules so you can avoid each other too. Great if you want a roomie you never see.

Kira - She tries to be a good roommate - and most of the time she's great! - but isn't the best at compromising when she thinks she's right. (Also, while it's not her fault, she has awful nightmares, so when your shifts line up to sleep at the same time...)

Miles - He's fine. Your room has a tendency to get awfully cluttered with weird shit when you've been away on a mission for too long though...

Worf - Fine. He doesn't want to have a roommate and it shows. He's mostly respectful of your space, but exposure to Klingon Opera is a hazard of being in this room.

Julian - He really tries hard to be a good roommate, and he loves having a roommate!! Just... a bit too much... Whenever you're both in the room he wants to talk to you. Plus if he can't sleep he'll start doing weird research and muttering to himself until he remembers that he has a roommate now and should probably be quiet.

Jadzia - She's lovely, but not overly concerned about how good a roomie she is: honestly, she doesn't realise it, but she does have a tendency to think of it firstly as "her" room and secondarily as yours. If you pointed that out to her, she'd try and correct that though. And then there are the parties. (Honestly, if you love parties she's probably way higher up the list but I'm a grumpy old so-and-so who goes to bed before 9 most nights so anyone stopping me sleeping is automatically on my nope list :P)

Quark - The first honestly bad roommate. I can't help feeling he'd be loudly irrated at even having to have a roommate in the first place and then he would try to wheedle his way into getting you to give him oo-mox at least once a week and every little annoyance would have him demanding compensation in latinum and he'd milk his "sensitive hearing" for all it was worth on that count and no. I'm not dealing with him. I'll sleep in a jeffries tube instead.

Garak. Forget choosing to sleep in a jeffries tube - you'd be forced to upon returning to your quarters and finding yourself locked out because of all the extra security measures he's added without asking you. And even if forced to let you in, he doesn't want a roommate and is more than happy to use every passive aggressive move in the book to make you ask for a transfer. Or if that doesn't work, he'll be aggressively nice instead until the paranoia of if he's going to snap and assassinate you someday starts to drive you crazy. Don't get me wrong, Garak would make a wonderful friend... But roommate? Definitely not!

Man there's so much room for disagreement here though - I'd be super interested to hear anyone else's takes!!

I’m not trying to be mean but it is very funny when Dan and Phil say/mention something that’s Just British and American phannies will try to decipher it like it’s some sort of secret code lol

“And your fingers foxtrot on my skin” “our bodies converse like old friends”

“You never saw me naked, you wouldn't even touch me / Except if you were wasted”

So there’s more than one love interest on this album. Which isn’t new, we saw that in Tomb, too with the Alkaline/Distraction/Descending trilogy. Just an interesting thing to think about, especially in the context of Emergence “You might be the one to take away the pain / And let my mind go quiet / And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I'm at your side”. When Emergence was released, I speculated that the “you” in the song represented a new character and I think I was right. I’m just curious whether the Emergence love is the Provider or the Gethsemane love.

"what kind of law did astarion pass to piss off the gur so much 😂"

aside from the fact magisters don't pass laws, the implication that cazador was just kind of casually waiting around for his moment bc knew astarion was Such a dickhead that someone was going to beat his ass to death eventually is extremely funny

A big thing that annoys me way more than it should is people acting like all Southern accents are the same. Y'all cannot just plaster whatever southern state you want onto a character with an accent and call it a day. Character with an obviously Texan accent? Not from North Carolina, I don't care if it's your headcanon, it doesn't work that way. There's a character that's supposed to be from Tennessee? Why do they sound like they're from Georgia?

Made this connection the other day, but why did it take me four entire years to realize that Eric was wearing The Green Shirt during Price to Play: August 12th, 1968 (with guest star Eric Burdon)??

The lack of a collar, the short row of buttons, the slightly darker complex of the shirt... This whole time, I was always bemoaning the fact that we never got to see Alan in photograph next to Eric in some of his more iconic "EB & The Animals" outfits... and it's been staring at me all this time. They are aesthetic complements always (and undeniable complements in many other ways as well)... now's a good time for a Dr Pepper.

Every post X Men 2000 film voice actor for Erik has been trying to copy Ian Mckellens vocal inflection in some capacity, including James Arnold Taylor... and it works.

the blueprint.... just make him Not British and we got it...

Man, that is a FACE. Suddenly thinking of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard and her saying "We had faces then." Sam has a FACE. Jacob, Delainey, Assad, they have FACES. Beautiful AND fascinating.

Face cards that never decline 😔 I love that we're always so shocked by the fact that the cast of the beautiful people show are beautiful, haha.

So i, having seen neither show, completely confused severance and succession. Reading ur posts i was lik, i didnt think thsts what that show was about but i goggled severance and that was the premise so it was today that i finally was lik no this has to b something else but the other show was definitrly callled something very similar lol it finally clicked and i can stop feeling uneasy reading ur bullet reactions lol

ya know honestly this is a super understandable mix up, I'm not sure that last week me could have told someone the difference between severance and succession. tbh no one could expect you to reliably distinguish two shows you've never seen when they both have single word nouns that start with s for a title, but also you should definitely watch severance, if only bc I can guarantee that it will be a load bearing part of my blog for at least the duration of season 2's run

Doing Physics homework with @nickydoesadraw Obviously, there was no possible universe where we could be normal about it

It starts. Relatively normal

Gets a bit messier. Obviously had to have him fishing in the hydroelectric power plant

We were originally going to have him say something here but dear Nick decided that it is a whole lot funnier if we just left it (I wholeheartedly agree)

Oh! Uh oh! He's not doing so well! (The lengths I went to in order to get that FUCKING SCREENSHOT is not a story that you want to be retold! Believe me!) My favourite bit from that slide is the fact that we're completely going to ignore how it's getting a bit Will's clock-esque and the 'Renewable energy resources are unreliable. This can be counteracted by taking lots of aspirin.' We're literally just going to read over it and pretend like it isn't there

Then, suddenly! And without warning! His encephalitis is fixed!

Thanks for listening to our presentation

me realizing that the slang term i’ve used to say ‘get scammed’ a) isn’t spelled that way & b) is actually a slur

I remember back in 2015 it was a popular talking point that the american voice for fem Inq was apparently only fit for qunari and maybe dwarves, 'cause it's so low and ungirly. Which, raises several unfortunate implications in that line of thinking alone, but that's not the point.

The point is the excitement I'm seeing for Erika's Rook is healing my soul. (Granted, she's genderfluid, and their voice won't be restricted to 'fem' Rooks this time, but you know what I mean).

[perilegs]

i love those annoying ass 2007-ish action protagonist guys with their shitty one liners and bad attitudes towards everything and mediocre growth all tied into a story that's not very good but overall enjoyable
