Lol When Edwin shows back up after his first one-on-one with the Cat King and is like "I was only gone a few moments" and Charles is like "you were gone for hours" no wonder he was so suspicious the rest of the season.

But also, what would have happened if Edwin DID agree to the Cat King's original bargain. He...gets frisky with the Cat King...gets dropped back in and Charles is just sat there, crying, because he used up his anger days ago thinking Edwin was gone forever. The "palace" has been fully trashed by a now-broken cricket bat. Edwin's about to ask Charles what's going on and from behind him, Crystal gasps and drops her breakfast. Charles looks up and doesn't believe what he's seeing.

"Where have you been?" he whispers.

"I...I was only gone a few hours...what...what happened here?"

"Edwin...you've been gone for weeks."

The smoke in the air burned his eyes.

Eddie didn't move. Or couldn't. He wasn't sure. He had to wait for Steve, that was all that was left in his head. Steve was late, very late, but it would be okay. Steve was his alpha. His strange, no-longer-cookie-cutter alpha who was as strong as any other but who took care of the kids and never pushed or postured, who had blushed so pretty when Eddie finally found the balls to ask him out a few days ago.

He only met him after finding him sleeping in his car. He'd gotten drunk enough he couldn't drive, but was sober enough to know he shouldn't. Eddie took pity on him, drove him home, got him hydrated, got him some tylenol and crackers and a can to puke in. He didn't do it with any purpose or secret goal. Guy just looked pathetic enough that Eddie couldn't not help.

That was February. It took until April before they could be called friends. It was the top of June when Eddie admitted - after getting called out by Robin - that he was flirting. And that maybe, maybe, Steve wasn't as offended by it as he would have been a year before. Eddie asked him out a few days ago, asked him to go with him to the carnival for the fourth of July, having finally realized that Steve was so tender hearted he wasn't going to ask, no matter how obvious Eddie made his interest.

They were supposed to go on their first date.

Steve was going to rush home after work, and meet Eddie at the carnival, and they were going to eat funnel cake and watch fireworks, and Eddie was going to 'forget' his jacket at home so he could borrow Steve's and never give it back.

They were going to go on a date, and Steve was so late the carnival was over, but that was okay, Eddie would forgive him for it. It was okay, and Steve would know he wasn't mad, because Eddie was here, and he was going to be waiting for him when Steve came out of the mall.

He was always hungry after a shift, and today he was running so late. They'd go to the 24 hour diner and Eddie would make fun of him for how he mixed condiments to get different sauces for his fries, and they'd plan a new date.

There's some Crack in this Ship

Me: ...you want to ship who now? Brain: Hear me out, it'll work. Me: They haven't even met-- Brain: You came up with Magnai/Thancred. Me:....-mutters- Technically you came up with that. Brain: What? Me: Nothing. Brain: Right. Anways...this Rass/Lana idea...

Yes. Love this all.

Side note: I have this theory that John had the best self esteem when he and Paul were close... I mean, like how happy, even confident, he looks whenever he makes Paul laugh. I'm just digging because I just read that Yoko quote by what's his face, just below this post. It's a shame that John had some sort of refuge that could've really saved him (probably did at a certain point) before it faltered and he had to resort to some deep, insecure trauma bond with a witch...

A Mclennon silent movie

September 9, 1964 Atlantic City

Highlights:

Paul pulling a prank on John with the chair

Ringo almost sitting on George

George dilligently answering questions while his parents are flirting

The under the table naughty payback, there's something evil when John looked directly into the camera. You can totally see John licking his mouth in satisfaction, must've been one hell of an inner thigh squeeze

That "ey" from Paul

Princess Paulie twirling his hair and being his beautiful self

I've never watched a single episode of spn but I've been thinking about the implications of being stuck inside a meme

[sugarlywhispers]

the sudden thought of bakugou katsuki sending an audio to his s/o while at the gym, where he speaks IN BETWEEN GASPS AND GRUNTS AND EVEN GROWLS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT HE'S LIFTING WHILE ALSO TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR DINNER AND SUGGESTING MEALS OR PLEACES TO GO IF YOU WANT AND THEN HE SAYS, "Ugh... whatever you... mmh... want, baby, it's yours..." AND HE EXHALES FUCKING SEXILY AS THE SOUND OF THE WEIGHT DROPPING IS HEARD.

Ace was always surprised no leaves were picked up by the stronger blasts, but he figured he could also walk through piles of leaves without taking them with him.

"Wow I hadn't realized the wind was this harsh, when I got here," his friend said.

Ace knew the weather was actually quite quiet, and that his friend was talking about the winds that seemed to be around whenever he was in the wilds.

Ace moved his hands in a small soothing gesture, and the winds reacted. They quit whistling, moving a bit quiter, but still quite fast, seeming to lose the threatening attitude, and gaining an excited one. Ace didn't know when he learned to read the winds emotion, but he figured it didn't matter.

As Ace made moved his hand, the winds started moving in a specific direction, excited to show him what they had discovered.

The winds greeted him as he stepped over the threshold and back out into the wilds. It curled around him almost possessively, whistling at his friend as they made their way over.

"no, one mourns the wicked" but it's James thinking he's the only one mourning after Regulus died and keeping his sadness a secret because no one knew about their relationship

"no, one mourns the wicked" but it's Sirius thinking he's the only one mourning after Regulus died and keeping his sadness a secret because he's supposed to hate him, even though he doesn't

"no, one mourns the wicked" but it's Pandora thinking she's the only one mourning after Regulus died and keeping her sadness a secret because the world hated her best friend, but she never stopped loving him

"no, one mourns the wicked" but it's Barty thinking he's the only one mourning after Regulus died and keeping his sadness a secret because he hasn't been able to speak a word since Evan died last spring

I know I talked about it not that long ago, but I am once again thinking about Louis holding "Lestat's" face like he's the most beautiful and precious thing in the world.

Even when they were making out passionately, his hands were still gentle. They were never rough. They were just tenderly holding.

Bonus: him rubbing Lestat's cheek with his thumb

Anyway, he loves Lestat so much. I need to go cry over it.

There’s just something about Stiles being so unflinchingly violent if it’s to protect Derek, of him having vivid fantasies about bashing his bat against Kate’s pretty blonde hair until her brain splatters across the room, about cutting Jennifer’s tongue and arms off so she can’t spell or touch Derek ever again, about lighting Gerard on fire and ripping Kali’s head off her shoulders...

Reading the comments on this post and you know what? Tommy does have a podcast!

It's called Getting Rom-Commy with Tommy and he breaks down the history, plots, tropes, and cliches made famous by romantic comedies. He recorded the first episode—Tillie's Punctured Romance, the first feature film in the genre—in 2020 during the early days of the pandemic, and has since gained a small but loyal following who love his deep dives, quirky sense of humor, and the random breadcrumbs about his own life that he drops occasionally.

For three and a half years, he's posted an episode every other Thursday without fail, so it's the talk of r/romcommytommy when the promised episode about A New Leaf doesn't materialize. They worry about Tommy being sick or dead—or worse: growing bored with the subject matter—and flood his podcast inbox with well wishes and pleas to continue the series.

Finally, the episode goes up the following Thursday, and he prefaces it by apologizing for the delay. He had gotten tangled up in a work thing and had spent the previous week dealing with the fallout (i.e.: paperwork), but he's in high spirits because he isn't in federal prison and has reconnected with old friends. And made some new ones! Which has nothing to do with Walter Matthau's performance, which in Tommy's opinion is one of his best, and he jumps right into the movie and says no more about what kept him away.

After that, for months, the series takes on a different tone—more buoyant, almost bewilderingly cheerful—and it elevates what was already a great program to something that truly has a happy ending every time. More people start listening. The subreddit hits 10k members, and speculation about what's causing Tommy's audible joy runs rampant, with most agreeing it's because he has someone special in his life.

Then, the 103rd episode goes live. It's an unflinching look at the movie Blue Valentine, which is very much not a romantic comedy, and for the entire episode Tommy vacillates between sounding dead inside and on the verge of tears. "It's just another example of how even the most passionate relationship will erode over time," he murmurs. The episode ends without its usual jaunty outro.

It becomes clear over the next several weeks that something devastating has happened, because Tommy has ditched his beloved rom-coms for the most depressing movies ever made. The subject of the top trending post on the subreddit for a month is 'If I ever listen to the Closer episode again I will need the following: a gun.'

His listeners debate whether or not to jump ship, but the film analyses are still really good. Plus, it feels like abandoning a friend in their time of need.

I don't know if you will ever see this, Tommy, but I think I speak for everyone when I say: we love you, we're here for you, we're not going anywhere, but for the love of GOD please go to therapy, u/marshedmellowout comments on the post for the In The Mood For Love episode.

No one's quite sure if u/marshedmellowout got through to him, but it feels like a turning point when the subject of the next episode is Desert Hearts. Tommy spends almost half the episode runtime analyzing the film's hopeful ending, and even cracks a couple of jokes. While his voice doesn't have that incandescent happiness from before, it's much lighter.

The next few episodes continue that slow, upward trend, and the movies Tommy deconstructs go from having hopeful endings to happy ones. He's back to making terrible puns and laughing at his own jokes, and everyone on the subreddit breathes a collective sigh of relief. He's going to be okay.

None of his listeners are prepared for how he starts the 118th episode.

"You're all in for a treat today, because I'm joined by a very special guest. He's not a big fan of movies, usually, but he's got a mind made for analysis, so making him watch Groundhog Day was kind of a no-brainer. I've been dying to hear him pick this one apart. Evan, say hi."

The joy from all those months ago is clear and present in Tommy's voice, but it's tempered with something new: certainty.

"H-Hi, everyone," Evan says, bashful and a little giggly. "Sorry, I've never done something like this before."

"You literally had a walk-on role in the country's most watched TV show. 22 million people tuned in that night, and that's not including the streaming numbers."

"That was different! I had one line. Plus, I didn't care about making Brad look dumb."

"Brad didn't need your help with that," Tommy says, audibly besotted. "Evan, you can't possibly make me look dumb. They can't see me."

Groaning through laughter, Evan gasps, "Oh my god, I said you get five stupid jokes and you just wasted one. Better make the next four count."

"I'll do my best," Tommy says. "So, overall, what did you think of the movie?"

It's the most listened to episode of the entire podcast, and u/cadburybunnyeggs's post 'Evan needs to be a permanent host and here's why' makes the front page of Reddit.

(A year later, the Four Weddings and a Funeral episode, which goes live two days before Tommy and Evan get married, is nominated for a Webby Award. What happens afterwards in the subreddit breaks containment and winds up in the New York Times.)

Still not quite there with capturing the pudding-esque nature of Kenma's hair, but maybe someday I'll get it.

Still up there with my favorite manga panels. Not much to say here
