"My hero," Nico drawled sarcastically from his position spread-eagle on the ground. "Next time you get the urge to save me, don't." Sure, being shoved out of the way of a raging celestial bronze bull was probably helpful, but Nico didn't think it was that helpful, especially as he spent the next several moments scrambling along the ground, trying to avoid said bull.

Fortunately the mechanical monster didn't handle corners very well, careening over an embankment and into the nearby river, spluttering and sparking as it because to sink slowly under the waters. With the splash, Nico had let his hands slip out from underneath him, opting to just lie on the ground for a moment instead of get up.

I don’t think I ever posted this here, and over a year later I still like it so… enjoy some ocks!

I can’t believe how obvious it is on rewatch that Agatha knew who Billy was the whole time. The gap between what the writers led us to believe was happening and what was actually happening was so cleverly done. Kathryn Hahn should get a million awards and so should the writers. Go watch it again - all of her lines and microexpressions and little glances at Billy and decisions about the road make so much more sense now. Do you know how many times I watched this and I missed all of it? It’s bonkers, actually.

I keep seeing white book reviewers complain about how Babel is so very in your face and obvious about its rage at colonialism as if they would not twist the meaning of the book to fit into their convenient little worldview and find a way to say 'ok.. BUT' if it were NOT so clearly and explicitly laid out I'm sorry but it's true.

I do not at all think that Xiao Lanhua believed Changheng when he told her that Dongfang Qingcang killed her tribe. I would even venture to say that's a misreading of the series.

And it's not because she's blinded by love! It's because she's cleverer than that. It just makes no sense. Even if she doesn't know it's impossible because of the timeline (DFQC was imprisoned before they were killed), she knows Dongfang Qingcang and Shangque both.

And it's not a matter of 'oh my bb boy would never do bad things', because at this point she's very aware of what war between the two tribes means and has meant. LBFAD is partially a story about the damage that a cycle of violence creates within generations and generations of people, and Xiao Lanhua comes to understand this better than most.

It's because she knows Shuiyuntian was his aim, and he'd have no reason or desire to bring in innocent, neutral parties. Shangque himself says that going after Xilan would be unethical. She's not living in a lala land where her fiance doesn't have blood on his hands. She's just smarter than that. He's never been pointlessly evil. That's not who he was, even without emotions.

Every single thing Shuiyuntian told her growing up about Dongfang Qingcang turned out to be wrong. Why would she believe it now, even from the mouth of Changheng? "What is real and what isn't real?"' She questions and doubts Changheng's truth and his words right then and there.

DFQC banked on what he perceived as his own awfulness to get Xiao Lanhua to stop loving him, but he overestimated himself on that front. Her love is steadfast, but it's not that she's willing to ignore these horrific things; that he killed her people, that he never loved her. She's just smart enough to realize they're not true.

I'm kinda tired of dungeon meshi fans blatantly misinterpreting Kabru's goals, motivations, and character so they can ship him with Laios...like obviously it's awesome if you enjoy Laikabu but can you nooot twist Kabru's intentions for involving himself with the guy who constantly triggers his monster trauma and pisses him off so bad he gets brain damage so that he turns into "the guy who wants to suck Laios's dick" as his entire character? I've even seen people cut off Kabru's words to make it seem like he is admiring Laios because it would disrupt that narrative

You know, a lot of fanfics have the batkids call Damian “demon” or “demon brat”. And I’m just wondering if anyone actually does call him that. In canon I mean. Do y’all know?

Renly had seemed anxious to know if the girl reminded him of anyone, and when Ned had no answer but a shrug, he had seemed disappointed. The maid was Loras Tyrell's sister Margaery, he'd confessed, but there were those who said she looked like Lyanna. "No," Ned had told him, bemused. (Eddard VI, AGOT)

This is literally people in fandom trying to make shallow connections between Lyanna and [X character] and presenting them as equally important as parallels drawn directly in the text. In fact, this coming after Ned tells Arya she reminds him of Lyanna (in looks and behavior) feels like George cementing the importance of their likeness. Other characters might have passing similarities to Lyanna, but Arya's parallels are much more meaningful than that and are being highlighted for a reason.

Does anyone else remember the episode of 87 called “The fifth turtle” where Venus de Milo was introduced for the very first time? And how she went on to permanently join the main cast after that? Gotta be one of my favourite parts of the original cartoon for sure!

Yeah. I could give you many reasons why I believe some of the more debatable/"controversial" ones are very sensible and Good based on just freaking paying attention to context given in the game but for now I'll just compile a basic list.

hb no longer being a comedy is such a weird complaint or i guess more specifically characters no longer being just comedy relief (aka stolas) or not keeping up the episode format of 3 imps go to the human world to kill people

to me the weird part is that this show pretty quickly established as far back as the second episode that it was never just gonna be that. it was never gonna be just a pure comedy and stolas was never gonna be just comedic relief

and tbh if the show did stay like that it would've been the most boring shit ever and you know it

its also wild because don't people want adult cartoons that aren't just solely dumb jokes ?
