I've been watching the recent Masterpiece adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small and James' romantic rival looked weirdly familiar and he was, he was played by Matthew "Neville Longbottom" Lewis. Like, I knew I should have been prepared for this back when there were all these Buzzfeed "Neville grew up hot!!" articles, but I was not, in fact, prepared.

I am living for the fact that Neilman’s character building decisions for Good Omens 2 was “look. You can be straight or you can be cis but being both at once is just forced diversity sorry guys :/”

I just started reading the third book for Lockwood and Co and my favorite thing is the first case they are working on. Like there’s so much chaos...George manages to set Lockwood on fire and then Lucy chucks a water bottle at him to put it out and it hits him in the head and knocks him out the window. They’re more of a danger to him than the ghost at this point and it’s hilarious.

i know at the end of last ep I was so excited about the pc dynamics being shaken up, so what i'll say is that this has gone above and beyond. pc dynamics in a full BLENDER. chetney's ex is casting death ward on him. fcg is meeting another aeormaton and being roasted for his coin faith. imogen is having her laughter played back to her and being given reassurances about her goodness. everyone thinks fearne is hot. i said "shaken up" and am now witnessing half of bell's hells whizzing around in a food processor.

good.

Top 3 Favorite Antagonists:

1.) Smoker

2.) Mihawk

3.) Crocodile

Highlights/Random Thoughts:

•Zoro and Nami continue to be the funniest duo in the whole show

•Robin is also quickly moving up on my list of favorites

•Sanji taking that hit from Enuru to save Nami was probably my favorite Sanji moment thus far

•So many moments in the Skypiea arc have got me so hyped at the thought of what it’ll be like in live action (crazy to think we probably wont see that till season 4)

•I have very quickly transitioned from “1100+ episodes is so long and overwhelming” to “shit I’m already at episode 200 and it’s only been like 2.5 weeks I’m already sad at the thought of being caught up”

I am having many many thoughts about Hands of the Emperor, but here is one before I go to sleep:

this sounds very silly, but i am eighty-odd pages into this book and almost nothing has happened, technically. The main characters are going on a vacation. It is a fairly significant part of this that the Emperor has never done so much nothing at once before. Travel arrangements have been made, social interactions had, various vacation activities enjoyed, but on a literal level there is no large plot moving forward.

AND YET. I am up late reading this already, and I want to stay up later. I want to keep reading. Because even if on the surface, not much is going on, the emotional depths that this book has already gone to are incredibly compelling.

The main character is watching the man he serves as emperor and reveres as a god, a man he cares for deeply, slowly remember that despite being an emperor and a god he is also a person, and find enormous joy in getting to be just that. The main character has been overcome with emotion multiple times by seeing his emperor smiling with great pleasure at things like a casual conversation, or watching the rain, or tuning a harp with his own hands. I am overcome with emotion too.

I don’t know if the pace will pick up at some point, but I genuinely think even if it doesn’t, I could read seven hundred pages of this, just on the strength of what it’s making me feel.

not only does robin propose to marian by comparing her to his bow, he chooses to do it next to the grave of some guy they just buried. truly the superior adaptation
