Lin, (looking at the Krew): Your existence is confusing to me. Korra: How so? Lin: I find the presence of all of you annoying, but the thought of anything bad happening to any of you, greatly upsets me.

this is what kills me about black orpheus (1959, dir. camus) actually. because orfeu is familiar with the story of orpheus and eurydice. early on someone even makes a joke like "your name's orpheus? where's your eurydice?" he knows the story and he knows what it means to be orpheus. and then at the pivotal moment he looks anyway because after all he's orpheus and he can't not.

There was a disturbance in Roman's state of mind. He knew something was amiss the instant he stepped into his domain, a sort of second sense that somebody - or some people perhaps, had been in his quarters. Things had been moved, touched. Roman knew it wasn't his men, none of them were stupid enough to touch what was explicitly his. The mask on the wall. One of the keys to his cars. Hell, even a bottle of cologne or two were gone, igniting a whole new level of wrath he had only ever felt a handful of times throughout his life. With rising anger, the crime lord gave his desk another one-over, bruised knuckles bone-white as they pressed down on polished wood. Even his packet of cigars hadn't been spared! Waves of anger kept bubbling madly like volcanic vents beneath the ocean floor, stoppered only by the barest restraints but another thought came to mind which soon doused his ire. Dogs. Where were his dogs? Rocco and Dante had disappeared too, seemingly off the face of the earth even though he'd told them to stay.

"Where the fuck are my dogs!? Where's all my shit???"

He hadn't even noticed the missing notepad filled with incriminating evidence, Roman so preoccupied - even distraught at the notion of his guard dogs having vanished.

I was sketching a quick character for a one-shot this weekend and then got distracted because I forgot about this guy that I designed for a one-shot in April that fell through so he now sits in my archives....

Maybe one day you will be used Gabriel, so for now I'll post his concept sketches I had hidden away for months

it’s a little frustrating sometimes to watch people try to “debunk” gay mike evidence by quibbling over things that are. kind of beside the point? like arguing that mike’s consistently negative (or even neutral, if you want the benefit of the doubt) reactions to girls aren’t “disgust” therefore they don’t mean anything. but like 1. yeah i agree, cates gate isn’t about mike being “disgusted.” mike’s face when el kisses him isn’t “disgusted.” mike’s reaction to el, to max, to girls in general doesn’t really read to me as “disgust” either. so 2. what DOES it read to you as? incredulity? confusion? discomfort? those…. still aren’t positive reactions.

the point is that mike actively and blatantly Does Not react positively toward el kissing him. and he also Doesn’t react positively to dustin’s description of a girl being “hotter than phoebe cates.” he asks “is she cute?” with maybe preemptive incredulity (in line with will's question "girls go to science camp?") over a girl who goes to science camp being cute, or perhaps just a neutrally curious state over dustin's new girlfriend, but then dustin doesn’t say “she’s hotter than phoebe cates.” he says, “think phoebe cates. only hotter.” that’s a prescriptive statement. you want to know if she’s cute, mike? think about phoebe cates, and then imagine someone hotter than that. and mike’s expression doesn’t improve in the slightest. think about someone hotter than phoebe cates, dustin tells mike. and mike? remains confused and entirely unintrigued. no, he’s not disgusted, but the point is not his negative reaction, it’s a complete lack of any sort of positive reaction. if he’s listening to dustin, he should have, in that moment, thought of phoebe cates. and his reaction?

nothing.

(but. this is also just to say... i don’t even think it's fair to call most of mike’s facial reactions “proof” of his sexuality in any argument… i think they’re fun little easter eggs that add an extra visual element to his gay characterization. but. it’s not WHY people think he’s gay. it's funny to point out BECAUSE he's gay)

[edit: AND this is not even to mention the direct line drawn to this in season four via stobin's discussion of fast times, linking phoebe cates to 'people who like boobies.' #notmikewheeler]
