lol y’all that episode must have got to me. My water broke as soon as I stood up after it was over. I’m going to the hospital to have a baby. 😅

Having thoughts:

So, Copia becomes Frater Imperator and wants to revive his brothers, since Sister can't say shit. He does so, and they return as ghouls. Primo's element is earth, Secondo's is fire, and Terzo is quint.

Copia doesn't treat them as lesser beings he still sees them as his brothers, just bigger and scarier.

So, a ghoul's way of having fun is to play fight. And I don't mean light hearted wrestling, shoving matches. I mean full on, beating the shit out of each other, throwing each other into walls and furniture. Ghouls have an insanely high pain tolerance to the point, where biting feels more ticklish than painful. Holy objects/water and stabbing are more hurtful and harmful than a mere punch to the face.

One day, Copia's making his rounds, making sure everything is okie dokie, nobody needs help with stuff, duties are being done etc. He's walking down a hall when he hears a pretty loud thud against a wall in a room. Curious, he pokes his head in the door:

Secondo and Terzo are in the midst of a fighting match. Copia watches as Secondo gets thrown against a wall again, and headbutts Terzo.

"You hit like a kid, fratello!"

"... Three seconds to take that back."

Copia knows this is perfectly normal ghoul behavior, he's seen it thousands of times. He's not even concerned when they start laughing manically as they're exchanging blows. He just wishes they'd take it outside, because this will now be the third hole that's gonna have to be fixed, and he's still learning to assert his authority. Maybe Primo can give him some advice...

The DC Universe is comprised of three types of people:

People Nightwing has slept with.

People Nightwing has mentored

People who see Nightwing as their charming son/nephew figure and are so proud of the man he has become.

The only exception to this is Donna Troy, who kissed Dick for exactly seven seconds in the first ever Titans game of spin the bottle. (Wally rigged it to be a Good Friend but completely missed the fact that Dick had spent most of the last mission staring at Roy's arms). They both agreed that this was weird, and never allowed to happen again.

Anonymously you say?

Okay three things I want to know...

1. Your favourite fic?

2. Your happy place?

3. Salt water, water fresh water, or swimming pool?

1. This one has been the same for years now, and I don't see it changing anytime soon. You're a mountain, full of glory by @thecousinsdangereux. It will always hold a special place in my heart for getting my back into writing and just... being there for me when I needed it.

2. A loch near where I live!

It's just so beautiful and calming and I love to just sit here, with a book or just with my thoughts and be peaceful and relax.

(It's also the same place I set sometimes i fuck you in my head sdfgsdgff)

3. Fresh water or swimming pool. I love any kind of water though and just.... find it calming. I also just love swimming in general and like... am pretty decent at it.

I've never had an issue drawing Laudna before but something about her new outfit has thrown me so far off that I have restarted and redrawn and reposed and all that so many times that I may just save her for last.

Or i'll just say fuck it and just deal with it

Prison Break recently got added to Netflix so I was like why not, I’d heard of it but never watched it at the time when it first came out but I thought yeah this looks good and then immediately got hooked and binged all 5 seasons. And then went down the rabbit hole looking up Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell and such and I saw they are going to be starring in a new show together which already sounds good so can’t wait for that to come out. I know the final season that came out years and years after season 4 finale was sort of mixed reviews but as someone bingeing it back to back I did like the sort of alternative ending for Michael. I also loved that they brought back the gang especially Sucre. I know they are planning to create a new show people keep calling it a season 6 but it’s not its prison break but a whole new cast from what I understand it won’t be any of the OG cast but just set in the same universe/world as the original Prison Break. Idk might watch it when it eventually comes out but I’m not typically a fan of that when shows get played out so long that they then have to move onto a ‘next generation’ because they’ve met their limit w/ the current characters storylines idk sometimes it can just feel like maybe just a little repetitive when shows do that sometimes but it could be done well so idk. I also cannot believe he is 52 actually none of the main cast really look their age. I also liked the surprise change in T-Bag in that final season and the twists with that too. I am almost tempted to start watching some of the DC stuff he’s been in even though I’ve not really watched anything from that before I mostly have just seen a lot of the marvel stuff over the years as that’s what Kade liked and he got me into it even then I’m not like on a level with die hards who know everything about the MCU. But I saw some GIFS on here when I was searching for prison break ones & the clips I did see looked good although I saw one saying he left after s1 because he didnt want to play straight characters anymore and then another one implying Snart was gay and they loved that he got to play a cunty gay villain so idk if one of those is wrong or they did switch him up to be gay cos of this who knows but I may just have to check it out. Side note I do keep seeing ads for The Penguin & it does look pretty good, but I kinda feel like with DC & MCU a lot of it feels like hard to get into if you dont already know the world its set in like Idk if I would’ve watched all of the marvel stuff if Kade hadn’t also given me extra info on the MCU I mean sure we’ve all watched some MCU & DC movies like come on who hasn’t but like not so much the shows so idk. Anyways I cannot wait to see more of Purcell & Miller together because I loved them as the brothers in Prison Break & I loved Prison Break I really like Schofield & Sucre’s friendship throughout the whole thing & as much as T-Bag is there to hate there was something to be said about how he always managed to survive like a cockroach I was for sure he was dead after he got his hand chopped off but nope he just kept on going til the end lol

[scrletscldier]

okay i think it’s been long enough

i loved the end of steve rogers’ arc. captain america has always been one of my favorite superheroes simply because of how selfless he always was. so for him to finally choose something purely for himself and his self-interest after helping to save the known universe was so special :’)

also. the world was not ready for an iconic superhero played by an iconic actor to be gay. as a queer writer and mcu fan, if Bucky and Steve had gotten together i’d have cried tears of happiness, but also it was always going to be Peggy and Steve, regardless of fan theories/“Captain Carter”/Peggy’s actress’ reputation. (i also think there is a LOT to be said regarding the trope of platonic soulmates in fiction. Bucky and Steve were platonic soulmates).

Risky take, disliking a female character in mcsm DOESN'T make you sexist. This post is based on something I saw from a friend, by the way.

1.] People have different viewpoints on MCSM characters, some people don't like Petra, some don't like Lukas, some don't like both, or maybe they can even like both characters. Just because they think Petra's annoying doesn't mean they're sexist. It's their opinion and viewpoint.

2.] I understand there are Lukas meat riders (no offense). Yes, if Lukas did those annoying things Petra did, he probably would've gotten away with it for those fans, but for the rest of us? Most likely not, especially people who didn't even like Lukas from the start.

3.] Either I'm genuinely missing something here but when was Lukas really that bitchy?? I mean with Axel, and I guess fighting over the amulet, but either way, he wasn't being that bitchy???? Or my memory is just faded.

4.] The original post was probably more directed to the certain Lukas fans, and this post is more of a shitpost than a serious one, but good lord, please understand this is just a game of pixels, not real life. Will this hurt the characters' feelings if you express your opinion of them? Of course not.

Again, it doesn't make you sexist to favor a character over another.

(Also, this is not sexist even means)

Guys I hope we don't lose power I also REALLY hope the stray cats are okay 😔 😢 I hope the kittens down the road don't drown I hope the dogs next door stay safe and I pray no one dies here

[semperama]

There is a part of me that's like, "Well, if my best friend moved away, I would probably also lose it, romantic feelings or not." But then there's another part of me that remembers that the last time one of my best friends moved away, I literally realized I was in love with him, broke up with the guy I was engaged to at the time, and married said best friend a year later, and now we've been married 12 years and have two kids. So.

....Oh man, fic idea that I'm gonna work on. Copia wants to join Uno game nights. His brothers agree to let him on one condition:

He must play a game of cards against humanity with them first, just so they know he's not gonna be a sore loser, or easily offended by their sense of humor. Sibling fuckery heavily occurs, Terzo and Secondo fuck with him big time, Primo has to tell them to knock it off. Hilarity ensues in the form of card readings.

Michaela Stirling

I'm definitely going to regret dropkicking myself into this conversation but....

I fucking love what they've done with John and Francesca this season, I think it's a great change of pace from the hyper-passionate, demonstrative love stories we've seen so far on Bridgerton. I'm also super excited for Francesca and Michaela's season, and for the way Michaela's gender is going to play into that.

Because yes, her gender is going to change some aspects of the story. There'll be less pushback against the two of them living together (Francesca has to temporarily move back into Bridgerton house because even as a widow she can't live alone in the same house as Michael, her cousin-in-law) and likely more pressure on Francesca's pregnancy due to the lack of an heir that's both known to the remaining members of the family and willing to provide for them (I think they actually are going to do a version of Francesca's struggle with infertility, I just think that the way they handle it is going to be very different). Characters are probably going to lean harder on Francesca to remarry, and depending on how the ton perceives Michaela (the general vibe on Bridgerton is that society doesn't take issue with men like Anthony or Colin sleeping around, but women like Daphne and Prudence risk ruin for being alone with a man) her family will likely want her to marry as well. (My guess is that Michaela will be charming as hell and the toast of the season, there'll just be fewer rumors about who she has and hasn't slept with.)

I'm curious to see how they continue to navigate queer sexualities in the Regency era, even in a story that plays as fast and loose with history as Bridgerton. I'm pretty okay with how they handled Benedict, Tilley, and Paul this season, and I'm optimistic as hell for watching Francesca and Michaela grow and change together.

My one real worry is an extremely modern one. As much as I love all the edits to "Good Luck Babe" that I've been seeing on Tik Tok, I really don't want them to frame Francesca as a lesbian. I really love the idea of Francesca's relationship with John being something real and true and valid -- she loved him, she was attracted to him, she wanted kids with him, she mourned him to hell and back when he died-- and over the course of the story, she grows to want something different -- not more or less, but different-- with Michaela. They can still tease each other, they ca still push each other out of their shells, they can still be best friends who fall apart when they lose the person who mattered most to both of them, and fall back together when they risk losing each other. The heart of the story can still be the same-- changing Michael to Michaela only changes the skeleton.

Does that make any sense?

I was persuaded to read ACoTaR by my book club friends and it's interesting? At least interesting enough to want to know more. But Feyre is so fucking stupid. Like I get that she's 19 and she's not like other girls, but she's dumb dumb. I'm halfway through the first book and I know I'm just gonna get more frustrated before the book is over. Wish me luck!!!

[peachythesequel]

Love it when my coworker gets mad at me for asking her to correct her own mistakes. Like yes girl absolutely blame me and take no responsibility for your own actions, it's such a good look.
