Prompt:

Tim is the first to find out the Red Hood’s identity and from then on sticks to Jason during patrol like glue (much to Jason’s chagrin, dammit, it would feel wrong to beat up Robin when he’s that starry eyed…)

Cue: PANIC from the rest of the Batfamily, who still think Hood is a forty-something year old crime lord and now assume they’re dating.

I connected the dots.

to me it's all linked

• in mummy on the orient express, clara lies to danny about traveling and says i love you to the doctor while on the phone with him (danny).

• in death in heaven, clara tells danny that she won't ever say 'i love you' to anyone else ever again

• in face the raven, clara stops the doctor from telling her he loves her

• in hell bent, after learning the doctor spent 4.5B years in a torture chamber to get her back, clara decides they should say all they left unsaid

btw when i say first and second points are linked i mean it in a clara feels guilty for being in love with the doctor and danny while not letting any of them go and she's trying to have a bit of control over her this situation way

the charles/damiano lore is insane lmfaoooo i cannot i am sure max was screaming throwing up seeing what was going down in the ferrari garage at monza '23

"Max lost Singapore because the RB19 was weak at that track" Max lost Singapore because he was emotionally distraught over the Charles/Damiano rumours.

Hey do you remember that one vocaloid song? You know, the one where Miku duets with a voicebank from another company that got insanely popular? The one that has such a unique visual flair that it spawns covers, fanart, and crossover fanart of peoples fave characters? The one with themes of trying to avoid bad thoughts at all costs, even to the point of driving you insane? Also where is the yellow girl?

Hey happy Tuesday did you know that Matthew FUCKING Mercer foreshadowed all of this Ruidus business a million years ago in C2E129?

The Mighty Nein are fleeing from Trent Ikithon. Some of them are in the Happy Fun Ball. Others of them are in what would turn out to be Planerider Ryn’s hangout in the Fire Plane.

Jester reads Ryn’s journal, and Matt says:

“…maps of the cosmic planes…pontification on an imbalance between them…” (01:09:13)

“The theories on a pattern of change begin to peak through in some of the notes. A slow shift in the structure between the planes, and a possible sudden shift in the cosmic tapestry down the road. And you can see a lot of these notes, there’s a combination of worry and excitement gleaned from them. This person is just pontificating about possible cosmic events down the road that could be catastrophic or very exciting and unique, remaking of the cosmos. But they’re all theories.” (01:10:00)

Then a huge awful fight and a lot of other things happen and two hours later, Caleb reads the journal and gets:

“Possible change that could spell disaster or balance, who knows?” (03:02:22)

“There’s some sort of something strange and you do pick up some of the odd reading that alludes, as they note, “I continue to find an aberration in my data pertaining to Exandria. A cyclical, months long, slow surge in low-level magical interference that then recedes just as slowly. Something that tangles my readings and upsets my analysis. It is too faint to identify the arcane nature at source, but I worry if this pertains to the shifting between the veils…” But these are just the musings of an individual.” (03:02:27)

And then, in C3E43, Ryn herself shows up and says:

“I’ve discovered some strange inconsistencies in the way the energies have been moving, the leylines, the magical powers that guide the patterns of energies across Exandria and through the different realms that overlap. This movement seemed to be incorporating with bursts of energy, that over time, the patterns seemed to coincide with these recurring flares of the moon Ruidus.” (02:54:30)

C2E129 aired in March of 2021

my hot take of the day is that paul doesn’t not like musicals. i don’t know how it’s taken me 5+ years to come to this conclusion, but hear me out. i rewatched tgwdlm twice this weekend and my brain is vibrating on paul matthews frequency. my soul is one with his. my hypothesis wraps up everything that’s bothered me about paul’s character in a neat little bow: paul likes musicals, even if he doesn’t think he does.

the jokes have been circulating from the start, how paul knows the words to moana better than anyone else, how he has seen every musical mentioned in the show (he didn’t directly say he’s seen hamilton and mamma mia, but he at the very least knows the difference in the pop cultural relevance of the two). paul claims that he was forced to see godspell and brigadoon, but that doesn’t account for the other shows he’s seen, one of which he’s canonically watched enough times to know the words better than his coworkers/the average musical-hating ccrp employee.

i’ve heard speculation that paul goes to see every musical just to criticize it. but i don’t think that’s the case. i think paul has repressed his love of musicals. maybe he thinks he hates them, and thinks he watches them to critique them, but deep down he’s lying to himself and he knows it.

this is evidenced by “let it out,” specifically the lines: “i’ve become what i hated / or maybe i never did.” unlike the first verse, where there’s a clear distinction between the lines sung by paul vs pokey, i find it much more difficult to tell who’s singing in the second verse. i imagine this was an intentional acting choice on jon’s part, symbolizing that as pokey gets a firmer grip on paul he has access to more of his repressed memories, feelings, and desires. his words become more seamlessly infused with paul’s real thoughts. he identifies that paul has never hated musicals and makes him acknowledge it to himself and the audience.

so what caused paul to repress his love of musicals? he tells us directly—the moment that made him hate musicals was when he was bussed over to hatchetfield high to watch their production of brigadoon, because sycamore didn’t have a theater program. look, there is No Way that the entire student body of sycamore high was bussed over to see brigadoon: first, it would have been after school hours, and impossible (or at least a very strange thing) to make mandatory; second, the average high school production is, what, 2-4 nights? no way there would have been enough seats for all of sycamore; third, arranging the bus situation would have been far too inconvenient and expensive. i could go on, but my point is, going to see brigadoon was a voluntary action on high schooler!paul’s part. my guess is that it was only the students who actively wanted to be in a theater program who were taken to see brigadoon. that leads me to the conclusion: paul was an aspiring theater kid in high school, and you can’t tell me otherwise.

it was the experience of watching emma and the hatchetfield high kids perform brigadoon, longing to be onstage with them in the spotlight, and knowing he wasn’t going to get that opportunity in high school that made him start repressing his love of musicals. but (and i don’t have evidence for this, it’s just speculation) it’s post-high school, when he realized he was never going to get to be in a musical, that sealed that commitment to repression. whether he went to college and auditioned and didn’t get any roles for lack of practice, or joined the workforce and got his dream crushed out of him by the monotony of ccrp, paul distanced himself from the object of his desire by pretending that, actually, he never really wanted it. he pretended so hard he started to believe it. he began watching musicals “ironically.” he listened to the moana soundtrack because he “liked making fun of it.” he’d “rather do anything” than go watch mamma mia. he was “forced” to see godspell, and he “hated it.” godspell, more like god-awful, amirite?

(and don’t get me started on the little we see of him in black friday—what do you mean you don’t like those “musical commercials,” paul?? are you trying to say the kars 4 kids jingle is comparable to a full-length musical?? do you not listen to music at all, paul??? or are you overgeneralizing your hatred of musicals to cover your ass?? yet you can sing when you realize it’s possibly the final minutes of your life and there’s no hope to be found but in song? answer me paul. ANSWER ME.)

i’ve seen it hypothesized that pokey gives each character what they want before he kills them. paul is no exception. paul finally gets what he wants: to be in a musical. not just to be in a musical, but to play the leading role. to sing before an audience. to be the hero, sacrificing himself to save the day. i think it’s possible that, if ever paul genuinely stops liking musicals, it’s after pokey’s invasion begins. i mean, i certainly would stick to silent films for the rest of my life after getting caught up in that, so i don’t blame him. paul’s panic is visceral in every song sequence—but it’s not because he doesn’t like musicals, it’s for the obvious reason that Holy Fuck Something Is Wrong With These People Think About The Implications.

this has turned into an absolute essay, so tl;dr: paul likes musicals. if anything, paul loves musicals. paul was so broken by his inability to be in musicals as a kid that he made himself believe he hated them so all the missed opportunities would hurt less. all of the overexaggerated musical hating that we see on screen is overcompensation. he can fool the audience. he can fool himself. he can even fool me for 5+ years. but he can’t fool pokey.

Hey so if Terry’s collar said “Shoot those fools except for Scary” doesn’t this mean Willy is well aware the teens are alive? That he knows Scary lied to him? and if Grant was already up on that roof, doesn’t that mean that Willy orchestrated it so Scary would have to watch Terry die? As punishment for lying to him perhaps?
