Can I have a fun fact? :3
Fun fact: the Renaissance (in England) is said as starting in the year 1485, the year Henry VII came to the throne after defeating Richard III at Bosworth field.
The year is totally arbitrary as there weren’t any drastic changes that year, but by Henry VIII we were in the Renaissance so they had to pick a year.
Bonus: the War of the Roses did not end in 1485 with the Battle of Bosworth field, but rather in the year 1487, after the failed Lambert Simnel Rebellion

calling dick grayson a millennial will be my favourite thing forever. i feel like the god of all language, he looks at me like i have his throat in my hands every time he uses slang and whether he uses it correctly decides if i crush his windpipe.
“I just yeeted that,” CRINGE. 100 YEARS OF MILLENNIAL JAIL.
“You um, served..” ACCEPTABLE. one crumb of relevancy.

nothing against Pedro Pascal, I love him, but for me, Ioan Gruffudd will always be the iconic, most perfect Reed Richards and no one else can play him like Ioan does.
that being said, it would be super great to see Ioan as Reed again where he teamed up with Pedro’s Reed and John Krasinski’s Reed (so we had 3 Reed Richards variants from different timelines).
also credit to @doseofthreecuties , thank you for putting these photos together. our Reed Richards ♡

i guess ten being considered the universe's hottest dude with women falling over themselves to kiss him is kinda crazy to me bc in my mind he is fundamentally a little wretched twig of a guy. like a drowned kitten or perhaps rat to me . i'm realizing that the spirit of donna noble is possessing me as i write this post
