Summary:

After separating from Patri, William suffers the consequences of being alone for the first time in his life.

Far away, in Elysia, the elves struggle to make amends and live in peace. Yet guilt seems to follow Patri everywhere.

What was broken cannot come back together again. Or maybe it can.

Since main universe Alya is (was?) very invested in Marinette's love life, I think it would be really funny if alternate universe Alya gave 0 fucks about it.

nbc hannibal is a romcom purely because the central conflict results from hannibal not understanding his feelings for will and being a total loser about it because he’s never had a friend or been in love before which makes him act so silly and do the most insane things that will interprets being framed for murder as hannibal having something against him (as anyone would), and this series of misunderstandings is not resolved until hannibal’s ex girlfriend and former psychiatrist tells will that hannibal is so in love with him it makes him look stupid. after that will does not hesitate to break hannibal out of jail and douse himself in blood which is this show’s equivalent to the protagonist running to the airport to stop their love interest from leaving the country and marrying someone else before they’ve had the chance to confess that they’ve loved them ever since they’ve known them

Nobody Wants This

“It was as if they belonged on a different show, because their storyline was vastly superior to everyone else's dull drama. Dan and Blair together are like Harry Burns and Sally Albright reincarnated—the couple was obviously inspired by When Harry Met Sally. [...] The history of their relationship parallels the iconic film couple; the two began as enemies, became friends and eventually a couple.”

It's just bad movie fatigue

Do you hate superhero movies?

or the fact that the only two companies making movies are using a formula?

I know others have expressed the same sentiment, but I have to do it too.

The thing is that we were told Tommy would not come back, and for months we were mocked for believing he might

...but he did. He has come back! first for an appearance kept as a surprise for the audience; next he'll participate in the big emergency in 8b when he did not in 8a, and then he'll be in at least one impactful scene in yet another episode.

Buck's most transformative relationship. Whom Buck still wants to call.

I do maintain that all signs point to the show gearing up for a reconciliation, but even if they're not, at least they've made sure to give them narrative weight far beyond the 'starter boyfriend' bs. They've said this relationship matters, still.

Speaking of your OCs, two of yours have been living rent free in my head for years! The dwarves that were crushing on each other super hard but were adorably shy about expressing it? If I recall one worked in metal/jewellery.

Igni and Bjarni! Yes, Igni is a jeweler and Bjarni is a miner who brings him jewels and other ore to work with!

I've actually been working on them in the background. I have decided that my first comic will be their story because it's such a stress free story (in plot and characters)

Here's some stuff I've done last year/this year

RWRB is a very serious movie made by very serious actors.

the violence in bottoms (2023) is so satisfying in a way i don't really know how to put into words. somewhere between the violence against women that movies sometimes shy away from too much but also Lean Into a little too much (spectrum of either not depicting realistic violence/harassment due to discomfort with it or the "you can't hit her she's a girl!" concept vs gratuitous sensationalized violence). like it's that "boys will be boys" kind of roughhousing that girls are excluded from if the narrative frames them as too delicate / feminine / untouchable. and i see them beating the shit out of each other and it feels Good. they're not untouchable dolls nor are they objects to project malice and gratuitous violence onto! it's not even fully about the empowerment or seeing girls be able to fight back (which does feel amazing in its own right and the movie does a great job of delivering it) like even seeing like, idk black widow beat up a bunch of guys in a marvel movie doesn't feel the same as how bottoms does it. it feels unpolished and grounded and realistic and satisfying. #girlswillbegirls
