Magic had a price. As a Sea Witch in a city of merpeople, Taehyung used his magic and witchcraft to try and improve the lives of those around him. He lived a good life- merman Prince Jungkook was just there to add the excitement.

The main reason the minecraft movie will inevitably flop is bc the general rule of thumb is that if you want the best video game adaptation, you need to cast Ella Purnell in it as a lead

Bc i genuinely think Arcane and Fallout probably are two of the best video game adaptations

I don't care how excited it might make some people, I don't like this remake

TAZ vs Dracula book-accuracy ratings from Episode 1:

Dracula: Plaguing locals, running over old church ladies with his car because he wants to see how fast it goes. Captures the pointless mean-spirited violence with humorous anachronisms. 8/10.

Frankenstein: Made a business out of resurrecting people, has an Igor, SHACKING UP WITH DRACULA?? Opposite in every way (except for being gay I guess), 0/10

Griffin Invisibleman: Shows up just to beat a player character’s brother to death, keeps getting stabbed, yells FUCK and runs into the forest only to run back all “I changed my mind!!” to resume beating him up. Highest level of accuracy, only thing missing is the sneezes, 100/10

Having more "Leia and Obi-Wan throughout the series" thoughts ok. People talk about how the Kenobi show doesn't make sense bc Leia doesn't act like she knows him later. Like? She does though?

Her famous message is a professional diplomatic message, and it's actually really cool that now it echoes Bail's plea to Obi-Wan to come save Leia. Girl isn't going to say, "bestie help" here ok. But when Luke tells her he's there with Ben Kenobi and she gets So Excited???! Her beat up old wizard has come back to herrrrr.

But why doesn't Leia mention anything about Ben to Han and Luke? Well maybe it's because she was 10 when she saw him last, and probably the one thing Bail made sure she did remember was to keep Obi Wan's secret and she clearly doesn't trust Han not to sell them all out. And can you imagine all the jokes Han would crack about "I guess you always need rescuing, princess" if he knew that story? I wouldn't have brought it up either.

Why doesn't Leia mourn Obi-Wan? This woman just watched her entire home planet and everyone she knows and loves be wiped out and is holding it together. I think that rates higher than being sad about a man she hasn't seen in years. Maybe she comforts Luke bc she knows if she admits anything for herself now, the floodgates will burst and all that other loss will come pouring out and she'll lose it and she can't afford that. Maybe Bail taught her that stoicism. Or maybe she picked it up from a sad old jedi when he took time to comfort her when he knew he was likely going to his own death. So now I'm crying on the floor.

But did she ever talk about him with Luke (and others) later? Who's to say she didn't? Insert my new favorite headcanon that Luke off-handedly mentions the force ghosts of the jedi masters and Leia goes wide-eyed, "you can see Obi-Wan?" and so Luke teaches her how to use her force sensitivity and Obi-Wan is so happy to talk with her again. (Not to mention, talking with Anakin too.) And later on when she loses her son and her brother vanishes and her husband leaves, Leia Organa is not left alone.

Lastly. She named her son Ben.

The fact that this fandom exists in the first place and continues to exist in 2024 is absurd and beautiful

Seokjin huffed, wringing out a towel. He began applying pressure to the wound gently. "You know we're just worried. Please for the love of God, don't land yourself in the hospital before your rotation even starts." (or: Jeon Jungkook, a medical student running on coffee and instant noodle, is secretly (or not so secretly) Spiderman. This is the daily life of crime-fighting Jeon Jungkook and his 'six, hot boyfriends')

My favorite Trigun headcanon is that because there’s no tv or much technology a good portion of the books on no man’s land are just transcribed pop culture people wrote from memory after leaving earth. Like they obviously still brought normal books with them to the planet but all of the books that have been written since are like 20% new original stories and 80% the plot of popular movies tv shows and games which newer generations are completely unaware of. You ask someone their favorite book and it’s either something like Pride and Prejudice or Legend of Zelda

thinking more about trigger warnings and. Bluntly, I think except for a couple specific types of things—like a rape scene in a book, or gunshot noises in an audio drama—content warnings are almost impossible to be useful when they come from somebody who doesn’t know you.

I talk about a really good horror movie I saw to my mom, and she asks, “Would I like it?” and I can say, “there’s one pretty bloody and gross scene, and one scene of a chimpanzee attacking somebody but it’s mostly offscreen, and otherwise, it’s mostly suspense and psychological, I think you’d like it.” That’s a content warning. It’s also only really possible because I know my mom and I know what makes her uncomfortable (gore and excessive violence, mostly). I was reading one of the bleakest, most depressing, most unsettling books I’ve read in my life, and chatting about it with a friend, and I said upfront that it’s bleak and upsetting, and also went into the background of the author a little bit—he wrote it as he was in and out of hospitals, dying of cancer. My friend’s dad was at that point in the hospital with cancer. Because I knew that I wanted to contextualize the book if he was considering reading it. A lot of the time when I’m talking about sci-fi books with another friend who reads a lot more of them and faster than I do, they will often let me know, “It developed a really bad straight romance halfway through,” or “the romance arc wasn’t awful but was annoying,” or “I actually didn’t mind the romance in this one.” These can be thought of as content warnings, telling me that kind of content to expect and brace myself so I don’t get disappointed by another stupid romance subplot in a book a otherwise was looking forward to. “It’s got SO much body horror” can either be a warning or a recommendation, depending on who you’re talking to. We trade our assessments of books, and let each other know what we might like and what we won't like. That's super important—and impossible to impersonalize.

Especially when it’s stuff like “yeah it was uncomfortably sexist” or “the author writes Asian people in a really uncomfortable way” or “there’s just random fatphobia consistently throughout” or “one of the magic things in it relies on the idea that love is what makes you human and people who don’t fall in love are monsters” which the author obviously isn’t going to warn for and is going to hurt some people more than others, and some people probably aren’t even going to notice. You kind of have to know somebody before you can assess what they might need to know going into something.

was looking through the cast list for the upcoming wicked movie and I didn't recognize the young man who plays fiyero but when I looked him up he is apparently lord bridgerton from bridgerton. which is perfect because as I recall fiyero is there to be Real Sexy Apparently and for elphaba to be inexplicably charmed and enthralled by. which is exactly the place bridgerton (the show) occupies in society at large. so what with ariana grande as beautiful manipulative undeniably talented and infamously socially inauthentic lady, cynthia erivo as incandescent awkward angry passionate lady, and jeff goldblum as charming charismatic powerful creepy old representative of institutional power, you got some pretty good stuff here even before you get down the list to peter dinklage as dr. dillamond and michelle yeoh as madame morrible. is there an oscar for casting director because I already nominate this one
