I'm sorry, Haladriel friends, I love you, but the way some folks are going, "Mirdania can't be Celebrían because that would make Annatar flirting with her weird and creepy!!!"
My friends. My darlings. I am holding your faces gently between my hands and whispering to you,
"It's fucking Sauron."
#The Rings of Power#ROP s2#fandom wankery#...I guess?#I'm not married to the M = C theory#though I do like it#but the way some shippers are treating it#(and our interest in Celebrían and Celeborn in general)#isn't superb

me: BITCH WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT MONSTER THAT THING WAS FUCKING TERRIFYING
#the amazing digital circus#tadc spoilers#my sincerest apologies to my one mutual who doesn't like this show#honestly not a huge fan of this sort of 90s pc game circus aesthetic they have goin on#(it's amazingly animated just the visual style isn't really my cup of tea)#but the writing and the characters are so fucking good that i'm still sticking with it#this episode was gorgeous though#all the dark colors and low lighting were superb#really made everything like ten times scarier lol

Yk, I hate that adaptations keep making Peter a high schooler, and not just because it means he never evolves, but because the adaptations now also include wider Marvel, whitch usually (thanks to the MCU) is at the modern day stage with legacy characters and new age teen heroes, meaning that Peter is taking up Miles' spot and you can really tell when they put him next to someone like Kamala Khan or Sam Alexander who are Miles' pals. Tho Peter taking Miles' stuff is just a modern issue overall, just look at MCU whitch just stole and re-skinned Miles' personality, characters, story-beats, even the costume to an extent and then made it worse.
agree 👏
#sci speaks#sci. release the script doctor you did where it actually was miles in the mcu and peter parker is a grown ass man.#it was funny. peter was a really bad intern at stark industries#who stole stark tech on the sly.#and of course. tony catches wind of this because he has cameras everywhere and. those cameras happened to also catch.#him sneaking out of work as spider-man.#and tony ropes him into civil war or whatever because otherwise he could Literally press charges.#and peter's :((((((((#begrudgingly joins tony's side.#in the post credit we see that he's been gathering stark tech to build miles morales some very neato webshooters.#and voil.a. miles is the star of homecoming and. peter is the mentor figure that encourages miles to start small.#miles: but YOU teamed up with the avengers a#peter: do as i SAY not as i DO.#sighs. so little would have to change.#but no more child soldiers and no more over exposure of tony stark. fantastic. superb.#also showing a slightly sneakier peter parker who isn't exactly entirely morally upstanding.#steals from billionares while they're not looking to serve the people who need it.#robin hood figure !! sexy. would falll to my knees for a peter parker like that. would be my favourite on screen peter ever.#and it puts him more in an interesting spot with the villains in the movies too.#if we still go with the route of all the villains being affiliated with stark tech and stealing / using stark tech#then peter is like. in a more complex role in the story. he stole stark tech too. is he better than the criminals?#he uses it for good. he thinks. but that's his judgement.#just i think it would be neat. all the “you're just like me” rhetoric falls so flat in those movies.#but what if it hit different.#but that would be if marvel had the courage to make a complex spider-man movie#where peter parker is allowed to make morally complex decisions asides for “uhh. stupid kid makes stupid mistakes”#sci talks movies

Rolling Thunder (1977)
"What the fuck are you doing?"
"I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.
#rolling thunder#1977#american cinema#john flynn#paul schrader#heywood gould#william devane#tommy lee jones#linda haynes#lisa blake richards#james best#dabney coleman#luke askew#lawrason driscoll#james victor#cassie yates#jordan gerler#jane abbott#barry de vorzon#charles escamilla#blisteringly good schrader script which is most effective in the dialogue that isn't there: devane's newly released POW is taciturn to the#point of frustration‚ speaking slow deliberate sentences or not at all. crucially tho that never feels like just a 'cool' character trait or#an attempt to craft a terse‚ mysterious protagonist; it's everything you need to know about him and just how fucked up he really is by his#years of imprisonment and torture. he literally cannot express his emotions or fears or pain; if he could maybe the whole film would go#down differently‚ but Maj. Rane is a man trapped in the burning silence of his own coiled trauma. there's a fascinating study of ptsd in#here somewhere‚ carefully folded underneath a violent revenge thriller; that more mainstream aspect is still well drawn‚ nowhere moreso#than the film's lengthy (and of course almost wordless) bloody final scenes. the violence there is comparable to true exploitation cinema#but through careful buildup and developed strain it doesn't feel unearned. it's the natural destination that this path of unhealing hurt#would lead. fascinating film and fascinating performances‚ from devane but also from a young TLJ in a superb support as the only man who's#been through the same hell and thus understands Rane completely without ever having to vocalise a thing

My Shakespeare plays seen/read total has now officially been overtaken by my total adaptations watched of Cyrano de Bergerac alone
#about#vignettes de ma vie#Cyrano de Bergerac#this is an illness#do u remember how this used to be a Shakespeare blog? hmm#I have several more adaptations yet to watch if I can find them#Jean Piat where r u?!?! so obscure he isn't even mentioned on the Cyrano adaptations Wiki page :(#Toshiro Mifune has been on my list for years this is intolerable#technically more of a derivation than an adaptation#but then u start getting into the murky boundaries of what constitutes a derivation#& what just features the trope Playing Cyrano so. ANYWAY. this is not over#have I seen this play a dozen ways? yes#have I seen it dozens of times? yes#did watching Jacques Weber's rendition of Cyrano for the 1st time last night have me sobbing regardless? also yes#this bitch can do anything!! he already knocked de Guiche out of the park in 1990#& his 1983 Cyrano was superb! torn & breathless & ratty. always w easy swagger. always w his heart on his sleeve.#love love love how they had him always picking at his teeth or cleaning his ears or scratching himself lmfao#is it disdain or is he just always at ease everywhere? yes#& now to find out Weber has also played EDMOND DANTÈS??? be still my beating heart!#so much art so little time... & most of it inaccessible anyway :(#they'll call me Anne Bonny by the time this fixation has passed the way I [REDACTED]

Hallo Nica!
Wie geht’s?
Du bist mir ziemlich mysteriös, deshalb weiß ich nicht, wo ich anfangen soll. Wie jeder andere auch, nehme ich an.
Hast du Hobbys? Oder irgendetwas, das du wirklich gerne machst?
Deine,
Autumn
He's a bit taken aback by the sudden German, especially with his stay in England getting him accustomed to English more often than not. When in Rome, as they say...
𝙃𝙢𝙢…𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙄 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨? 𝙀𝙢𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙙. A very 'Nika' wink was sent Autumn's way.
#nika answers#admin: apologies. my german isn't superb. my french is probably my second best language when it comes to comprehension (besides english).

"writers refuse to make to let those two straight white guys kiss because they are HOMOPHOBIC" or perhaps your ship simply sucks
#this is about superb*t btw#like don't get me wrong. dc writers are also homophobic.#but that doesn't mean that your ship isn't the most “gay ship for straight people” out there

Arc 2 "Sky"
I need to check in on my boy.
(alt "Zelda" lol)
Alright, I got 632 words for a wpm of 42! Here's ya snippet, ya sneaky little jerk (we will NOT be doing Zelda, you know exactly what you're doing QUIT IT XD)
“It’s alright,” someone responded in what had to be an imitation of Sky’s gentle tones. Hands still dug harshly into his arms, tugging him forwards, and another pushed into the small of his back. Wild was surely walking on fire at this point, but he forced one foot in front of the other in an attempt to hold on to his last shred of dignity. Sky patted his shoulder. “It’s okay, we're going to go inside and rest, now. It’s alright. You’re okay.” The whispered reassurances and grabbing became all too much, and Wild squeezed his eyes shut. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” “Don’t hurt him!” Twilight shouted. “It was my fault, I spooked him, he didn’t mean it!”
The Ask Game: put a unique word (and choose between my WIP's Blood Drops on Roses (Arc 1), BDOR Arc 2, or the Prologues (Link), if you wish) in my inbox and I'll respond with a three sentence to three paragraph snippets once I've done a 15-minute writing sprint, and I'll give you my wpm too. Multiple entries are allowed, and yes, this is still going!
I AM ADDING THE RULE THAT YOU CAN NO LONGER ASK NAMES FOR ARC 2 XD (@needfantasticstories shhhhhhhh ;D)

#giulietta simionato#la forza del destino#verdi#sometime no one sings is like a dead person#i think why it took me so long to connect with this character and her scenes#is MAN there are a lot of halfassed mezzos out there#who just cannot sing this role#and since these are the lighter scenes#giving the audience a break from the giant downer that is the rest of the opera#if the singing isn't superb#it's easy to resent these moments#but well performed#what a good time#opera#Spotify

there really are a shocking number of people out here in the year of our lord 2023 putting harry potter as one of their primary interests in their dating bio. like, look, enjoy what makes you happy, but if that's one of the top five things you want me to know about you, your taste in media is basic as fuck, and also you will never match with all the hot trans people out there, which is honestly so sad for you
#like honey they came out 15-30 years ago#i'm begging you to read something else#there are so many other good books whose fame isn't being weilded like a cudgel by a horrible bigot#might i suggest rick riordan if you want '00s YA fantasy from someone who supports trans kids#or ursula k leguin who wrote the original wizarding school series#or neil gaiman whose entire bibliography is just superb modern fantasy#or terry pratchet if you want your fantasy mixed with humor and satire#or n k jemisson who is a black woman who brings a completely fresh perspective to the fantasy genre and writes such good books#look i was a potter head 15 years ago but if professional quidditch can divorce their identity from joanne kelly you can too

rhythm heaven games that people find hard are so funny to me thinking about it because it's like. rhythm rally 2 and tambourine and shit. silly visuals. and then it's fucking hell-
#puppy rambles#rhythm hell#i mean tambourine isn't super hard once you get the hang of it. i think part of it is just the patterns#where you don't input on the last beat of the music. esp since it's inconsistent and you do for some#i mean honestly i feel like it's waaaaay too early into the game for what it is. same with monkey watch#monkey watch isn't even hard in megamix idk what makes it so hard in fever. in megamix it's really easy#in fever i can't superb it 90% of the time#i mean i haven't played fever on actual hardware in a bit maybe i could now idk
