#I've been thinking about this since the scene played

[wynsummers]

felt like combining two of my biggest interests so this is my ranking of buffy characters by how much they would enjoy the rocky horror picture show

honorable mention - anya. i can't decide if anya would love or hate rocky. the more chaos-loving anyanka side of her would have a lot of fun with it, but i think she might also hate the idea of going to see a movie only to have it talked over by a bunch of hecklers. especially if she went to a theater where they throw/spray props. so i guess it would depend on whether she went to a showing for the experience or the film itself.

9. angel would walk in, sit in the back row, stare with an intense face at the screen for the entire hour and forty minutes of the film and then stand up and leave without saying a word. he would never come back.

8. xander - xander would enjoy rocky for all of the wrong reasons. he is the cishet man who only goes to see the lingerie-clad women. i've met so many xanders in my time. they always have that smug laugh when someone tries to interact with them, but they're too cool to do anything that they can't use to (attempt to) impress a woman

7. cordelia - i don't think rocky is really cordy's scene, no disrespect intended. i think she could have a good time but some of the more extreme traditions might put her off (especially if someone threw/sprayed something at her, i think she would hate that). she would look at it as that fun thing she did once, probably because someone invited her. that being said, though, if she ended up in a shadowcast, she would put her entire heart and soul into playing janet.

6. oz - i can't explain it but oz is both too cool not to be at rocky and too cool to be at rocky. like, oz has been going to rocky every week for two years but the scoobies only find out when they go as a group and everyone in the theater knows him already. i don't think he's ever said a callback in his life but he definitely has a bunch of them memorized

5. buffy - ok now hear me out. buffy needs something like rocky in her life. she needs a place where she can unwind, yell loudly, dance around, and just have fun. i don't think she'd be super into it right away, but i don't think it would take long for her to get into the rhythm of it. i can't see her going so far as to be in a shadowcast, but i can totally see her being a frequent audience member who tells all of her friends about this awesome thing she found

4. tara - listen, tara is a lesbian witch in college. rocky was made for her. season 4 tara is too shy to participate, but i can see it being a place she returns to a lot, and season 6 tara is definitely in the front row of the theater every friday gleefully yelling at the screen. she might even dress up as janet or magenta (shoutout amber benson for performing toucha touch me)

3. willow - this may be controversial, since early seasons willow is kind of reserved and seems like she would be really overwhelmed by rocky. but often that's the exact kind of person who thrives in rocky the most because it gives them a chance to come out of their shell. at her first show, she probably wouldn't participate at all, but something would compel her to come back, and slowly but surely, she'd start doing more. cut to a few months later and she's going full vampire willow in a theater full of people. i think later seasons willow wouldn't have as difficult of a time at first but i still don't think she'd get into it right away. but once she got it, she'd be a regular for life

2. spike - i think spike has been going to the shows for a long time; it's definitely his scene. it wouldn't surprise me if he invented some of the callbacks. yelling stupid snarky shit at a movie screen is so him. i don't know if i can see him dressing up as a character though.

giles - obviously. fucking obviously. in his ripper days he was frank at his local theater and he still goes to the shows all the time. maybe on special occasions they bring him back as frank for a special show. it wouldn't surprise me if he saw the rocky horror show before it was a movie. if buffy and the scoobies found out about his double life they would faint. (if you haven't seen anthony head as frank, do yourself a favor and look it up)

Ah, thank you so much for the tag @dobriy-nunciy . This looks like lots of fun! (Love your comment about the aliens! And don't be afraid of your English - it's awesome!)

Do you make your bed? — Yes.

Favourite number? — 7 and 13

Job? — Novelist and book editor.

If you could go back to school, would you? As a student, no. Also, having worked as a teacher in the past, I don't think I would go back to that either!

Can you parallel park? — Indeed, I can.

Do you think aliens are real? — I would like to think that in the vast Universe there are other forms of life somewhere!

Can you drive a manual car? — Absolutely! I love driving.

What's your guilty pleasure? — Hmm... Not sure any of my pleasures are guilty lol.... Maybe rewatching every S2 Adar scene far too often, and eating chocolate.

Tattoos? — No.

Do you like puzzles? — If we're talking about jigsaw puzzles, then absolutely no. I don't have the patience. But I enjoy word puzzles and I love quizzes.

Any phobias? — Spiders - yuck! (Yes, I have to hide during the Shelob scenes!)

Favourite childhood sport? — Tennis - I've played since age 11 and I still enjoy playing it. I used to watch it a lot too but since Roger Federer retired, it's not been the same for me 🥲

Do you talk to yourself? — Oh god yes. That way I always have someone who gives the right answers to my questions! 😃

(about Pirate)

Do you make your bed? Sort of? I don't want the cats getting fur all over the duvet as the husband has a slight allergy so I have to tidy it up and have a blanket over it.

Favourite number? Like Luke mine's also probably 13. Or 8.

Job? Typist and medical PA, both public and private sectors.

If you could go back to school, would you? In the sense of being a kid again, nope. If there's something I ever want to study in the future, I'd consider it but it'd likely only be courses that don't involve exams. Exams are too stressful.

Can you parallel park? I can parallel park my arse? (No)

Do you think aliens are real? Yes, but any we can actually reach are unlikely to be like the ones in films. Maybe in another life and if we survive getting off this planet then contact will be possible.

Can you drive a manual car? The only kind of car I can drive involves me playing games on computers.

What's your guilty pleasure? Also like Luke I love to hyperfixate on a song and listen to it for hours on repeat. I swear I had something else for this the last time I wanted to fill this out. Overindulging on video games. Dressing up as Jack Sparrow more times than necessary.

Tattoos? One on my right shoulder that says 'XI', which is one of the muses I brought to this blog and means a lot to me. One on my left shoulder that is a Lokified Jera rune taken from the Kibblesmith Loki comics.

Do you like puzzles? Yes, but only certain kinds. I'm terrible at maths. I like ones I can figure out with not too much trouble so that I feel clever and not rubbish XD or ones I can use a walkthrough for if I've taken too long to figure it out. I do love puzzle games.

Any phobias? Wasps. Somewhat agoraphobic/claustrophobic as I get panic attacks if I think I can't breathe even when there is oxygen. I know that isn't agoraphobia, but it happens more in crowded open spaces with a lot of noise than properly closed ones, though I do have to feel trapped. It got worse since Covid. I have texture phobias too and something else I won't reveal openly in case of trolls.

Favourite childhood sport? Haha what. I mean I guess I occasionally enjoyed badminton and for a while I did like netball. I am not a sport person.

Do you talk to yourself? All. The. Time. I'm the only one who needs to put up with this amount of incessant babble ok? I'm really sorry to the people who game with me who hear me yell or make comment on what's going on, because it's ingrained in me now.

Stole it from: @therebetterbepie

Tagging: (no pressure!) @compassofsouls @small-carbon-lifeform @celestialmantdonna @antvnger @divinityrisen and anyone else who wants to do it if you haven't done it already!

This scene is always in my mind

They make me sick get them out of my head NOW!

[the-wordsmith-streetscarf]

I could go on about some of the greatest comic moments between these two (Waid's run, anyone?), but I've been rewatching the show recently, and was just thinking about something that goes along with this.

In episode 1x13, Foggy finds Matt at Fogwell's, taking his anger out on a punching bag.

Matt asks how he knew he'd be there.

"I've known about your outlet for a while. Figured it had something to do with your dad, so I didn't say anything. Now I know better."

Which is just a great character moment, for starters. That Foggy knew his friend well enough to know where to look for him, that he respected what (he assumed) it meant, and didn't confront him about it. Heck, just that he knows as much about Matt's past as he does (even if the Daredevil reveal was only recent, in context).

The scene goes on, and Foggy tells Matt that he nodded, but then asks if Matt could tell, to which Matt says he could. And maybe I'm reading too much into, but I detected a hint of hesitation from Matt when he told him, yes, he knew Foggy had nodded. Maybe out of habit, from always playing up his blindness for the sake of not revealing his abilities. But perhaps also because Matt appreciated how considerate Foggy always tried to be with Matt, and maybe Matt didn't want to ruin that thing that they'd had since they met.

And finally, as the scene comes to a close, their conversation escalates as Matt reaffirms that he needs to go after Fisk with his fists, and Foggy reminds him how that almost got him killed... how killing Fisk would destroy Matt... how Matt is a lawyer who believes in the law and doing the right thing with it.

And that is why (among other reasons) Foggy is so important to Daredevil -- as a title, and as a person. Because when Matt starts to lean too much into Daredevil, Foggy is there to pull him back, to remind him that he's more than just a vigilante with superhuman senses and a lot of rage, but also a lawyer, (a really good one, you might say). He keeps Matt grounded. He keeps him in perspective.

And in season 3, when Matt has buried Matt Murdock and gone full Daredevil, Foggy is there to pull him back. It takes most of the season for both of them to get it together, sure, but Foggy is the one who tells Karen he won't abandon Matt. Foggy is the one who insists on using the law because Daredevil isn't solving the problem.

Foggy deserves so much more than whatever the comics are doing to him (I stopped reading after Devil's Reign, and kind of wish I'd stopped before), or whatever I fear the show might do to him (if they're going to do it, please let it be a Devil in Cell Block D scenario).

I'm Team Avocados.

Some people love Matt and want him to be miserable, alone, and suffering.

Others love Matt, and they love a sad Matt, but they also want him to be happy.

Women? Yes!

Adrenaline. Blood. Violence? They are essential!

However, there is a small group that understands Matt has a heart that beats outside of his chest (corny, I know).

These Daredevil fans appreciate Foggy and understand that without him, Matt would never be the person he is.

Matt genuinely smiles when he’s with Foggy, and he feels comfortable enough to go without his glasses in his presence.

It's an adorable tiny fandom that faces a lot of challenges.

And this tiny fandom is where I fit in.

It's incredibly frustrating to wait for the creators of both the comics and the series to do the bare minimum and keep Foggy safe and alive. And reading a comic only to encounter a cliffhanger is so distressing too.

Foggy dies. Then he lives. But he dies again. After that, he's gone. They break the friendship. And then Foggy dies once more. He eventually comes back, but now with a different law partner...

Is it too much to ask for Nelson and Murdock to return to being... Nelson and Murdock?

Expecting the series creators to respect Matt's human side, respect his story, and not kill off Foggy is also torture. Sometimes, it makes me wish Foggy had never returned to the series at all.

Expecting fans to see Foggy as an essential element and to respect and love him like Matt does is tiring and sometimes frustrating too.

Reading posts from people who love Matt; the hot Matt, babygirl Matt, lonely Matt, etc... but hate the core, the core of Matt and Daredevil is a little disappointing, too. Understandable, but still disappointing.

So, yes, there's a teensy fandom within the larger Daredevil fandom dedicated to Foggy Nelson. This little fandom will never die, even if Foggy does.

He may die, but he will always come back... and then he might die again, and finally, he will live again...

But Foggy is an angel and angels don't die. (corny corny, I know)

hi!! just read your cake at the craft store fic and thought I'd introduce myself on here :) you're a talented writer and seem like a lovely person!

oh my gosh thank you so much! that's so sweet of you 🥰i'm so glad you enjoyed my work! (and thank you so much for the lovely comment on ao3!) also love your handles on both ao3 and here, i'm a big fan of herons myself 😊

AS THE PEOPLE COMMAND ME ! so if you will recall in the actual text of the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe, when the children first find the wardrobe in the upstairs room, there is mention of there being a dead fly on the windowsill. tiny detail, whatever. well, in the scene in the film where lucy discovers the wardrobe, they included a brief shot of a fly dying on one of the windowsills.

wow! thinks little me. what dedication to accuracy to the text! what a fun tiny detail for avid fans to notice!

but it's actually way more fun than that. it's not JUST that they included that detail; it's the level of dedication that went into it, as with so many other parts of this film, but this was one of the ones i first learned of. according to segments of anna popplewell's diary included in the illustrated film companion (which, btw, i highly recommend) the humane society wouldn't allow any animals (including flies) to be killed or harmed for the making of the movie, so what did they do? they used a frozen fly and recorded footage of it thawing out (and, i presume but could be incorrect here) played it backward to achieve the effect of a dying fly. and i've been obsessed with that detail ever since i first read about it, even before i learned all the other ways they put so much effort into lww as a movie.

so there's your narnia fun fact for the day, courtesy of anna popplewell and the film companion.

ask me about the frozen fly in Narnia. I'll be normal about it I swear.

unwell enough about the final lucanis romance scene that i DID figure out how to clip things in-game so i could have my own little recording of it with my favorite dialogue choices, tbh

[icharchivist]

I've seen like two videos of Aerith and Barret from Rebirth and I've been thinking about their relationship ever since and im shambles, like

Barret didn't know Aerith before they officially met, and first he heard of her it was during a life or death situation where his babygirl was in danger but Barret had to be on the frontlines to try to keep everyone safe

And he had left Marlene back at Tifa's bar and then Cloud and Tifa come to find him after days where they had disappeared and Cloud was thought dead,

And They tell him that they left Marlene in the care of someone they trust but was a perfect stranger for Barret

And he doesn't even have time to freak out because he has to make sure the Turks don't blow up the pillar holding the plate but he can't have been at ease with this

And then when he officially sees Aerith for the first time she has been kidnapped by the Turks and Tseng is brutalizing her, Cloud and Tifa panics, and yet this girl that Barret didn't know, who was being hit in front of him, just takes the hurried time she has reassuring Tifa that she brought Marlene somewhere safe.

Like for Barret it was a total stranger who got in danger to protect his daughter, and while now this stranger was in danger and in pain, her full concern was on making sure everyone knew Marlene was safe while also dropping hints of where she was for Cloud to bring the squad back to Aerith's house

She was a total stranger who didn't hesitate to put herself in danger to protect Barret's daughter and make it her priority over anything that happened to her

No wonder then Barret is totally with Tifa and Cloud when it's time to rescue her, and i think Barret and Aerith should interract more after that

I don't recall any scenes that aren't group scenes with them but tbh i saw their linked attack from Rebirth where they're both dorka and it made me cry on the spot it's so soft

[valiant-portabella-pirkko]

fun fact: I actually have not 1, not 2, but 3 dedicated playlists of OST-style music for my various Guild Wars 2 AUs, and... that, of all ways, is the closest I get to "outlining" my stories. every sequence has a dedicated track that I picked out according to what I'd imagine playing in-game if it was an actual playable story arc in Guild Wars 2.

Regrowth's playlist has 59 songs and Flourish has 28.

then the Tideturners have one too, with a grand total of 22.

......... I don't have a problem,
