The Hornblower episodes on Internet Archive begin with a slightly baffling clip of Patrick Stewart talking about being given a stack of Hornblower books as assigned reading for Star Trek. Which, you know, personally I think the most Hornblower-like Star Trek captain is Janeway, but I see what whoever gave him the books must have been getting at; Picard does have a bit of that awkward, reserved, yet inspiring to his crew, quality. And an extremely normal first officer who never wants to be promoted away from him even though he's very good in his own right. Called William. Oh.
#I don't know if that's why Riker is a William#it could be a coincidence#makes sense though#hornblower#star trek tng#WHY has hornblower seized my mind so powerfully. it's beginning to become annoying. I would like to think about other characters please

Anyone else think it's a little suspicious that Liliana starts talking about how she's worried what would happen if she was gone, how being around has let her pull Ludinus back from the brink, how she was looking after children...right after Imogen found out that there was going to be an assassination attempt against her?
#critical role#cr spoilers#it could be a coincidence#but the timing is suspicious#Imogen: I'm going to psychically connect to my mother to see if she's worth saving#Liliana: Hi Imogen. For no reason in particular here is an alphabetized list of reasons why I'm better off alive

can i just say..... sometimes i see one piece fic writers that write reactions for like "the strawhats" (usually without labeling them as that but still) and the only one they leave out is Usopp and........ Is it just me or is that not a little stinky?? 🤨
like... I've also forgotten to add people to those types of posts (Usually Jinbei... so sorry man<//3) but like? I don't go out of my way to actively not put one of the few canonically black characters in it? making I'm thinking too hard into it but it makes me go 🤨 every time i see it....
#not naming any names#it COULD be a coincidence#but ... more than anything its a little stinky#smells of racism/colorism#bc like....#why are u out here writing shit about like arlong and buggy but you cant imagine usopp like that ??? wDYM

And all it took was a giant hole leading to the planet’s mana core to finally find one of its kind outside of a dream and outside of time.
#dragonfable#although clearly its on the mini side of things#this is the second time an iteration of the creature that appeared in the hero's dream first has appeared in reality#as far as AdventureFriends is concerned anyways#it could be a coincidence#another case of simple shared design elements#and yet...#wonder if this tog having a name was to hearken back to the Endless Invasion#df spoilers#what are the odds we'll have to fight honk in reality

OG Bahamut & Leviathan lore in Ascension
Other than biblical references, Ascension also seems to refer and incorporate a part of an original Bahamut & Leviathan lore, in quite direct fashion too.
The original lore of Bahamut and Leviathan lies in a particular Persian work on cosmography. In this conception of the world, the earth is shouldered by an angel, who stands on a gigantic gemstone, which is supported by the cosmic beast (bull) sometimes called Kuyutha (most likely from a corruption or misrendering of "Leviathan"). Bahamut carries this bull on its back, and is suspended in water for its own stability.
The very interesting part is how FF16 incorporated the actual mythology into the song considering no other Final Fantasy series did this (or it did but not as far as I recalled). Here's the comparison:
Seven worlds of teardrops falling to the sea
OG lore: There were seven earths that, in some manner, connected together. The earths were originally unstable.
On wings of an angel... Burden shouldered
OG lore: God created an angel of immense size and of the utmost strength, and ordered him to carry the earths on his shoulders.
Fire on ruby mountaintop
OG lore: But there was no support for his feet. So God created a rock of ruby, the size of which none knoweth but God, whose name be exalted; then he ordered this rock to stand under the feet of the angel. This is the part of the lyric that made me curious, like why ruby specifically?
And the whole second to last paragraph of the lyrics just screams OG reference:
Tides of fury flowing, ebbing Mists of malice whorling, wending Veil of nothing, never-ending Dare not seek what lurketh down beneath No!
OG lore: To support the rock, God created Leviathan. And to support Leviathan, God created Bahamut. The earth is upon water ; the water, upon the rock ; the rock, on the back of the bull; the bull, on a bed of sand; the sand, on the fish ; the fish, upon a still, suffocating wind ; the wind, on a veil of darkness ; the darkness, on a mist ; and what is beneath it is unknown (there's an other opinion stated that darkness is at the lowest, not the mist, so the last quote is 'and the knowledge of mankind fails as to what is under the darkness'). Hence, dare not seek what lurketh down beneath.
Surprisingly FF16 Bahamut and OG Bahamut is the one of the trio (Baha, Levi, an angel) who's closest to the darkness, similar to what is depicted in the mural. Also Bahamut in the mural is under Leviathan, same as in OG lore. Who knows, it could be Koji Fox's addition to hint a metaphorical connection between the lore and the game. Maybe Bahamut and Leviathan in game are associated/tied with each other.
#ffxvi#ffxvi bahamut#leviathan#fan theory#Can I say we have found 2 evidences pointing the connection between Bahamut and Leviathan? the mural and the Ascension#it could be a coincidence#even though it was so specific in some part like the ruby and the seven worlds#I'm on high hopium we will have Dion DLC starred Leviathan#The lyrics didn't seem to connect to anything about the FF16 Bahamut and Dion but if it's a callback to og lore#oh boi

Also one more Riverdale post before I go off to work: RAS has to have done research in regards to the Mad line of it still ongoing because it just literally came back less than a few weeks ago which means he had to talk to Mad probably about including that line
#riverdale#riverdale spoilers#it could be a coincidence#but it’s a funny one if it is#also for those who don’t know#Mad dropped a new magnize in October

Teyvat's "Most Down Bad" Award Goes to Alhaitham for a Second Year Running
Seeing everyone making fun of Alhaitham for his "stalkerish" tendencies in this event is funny, because I feel like a lot of people missed that "Be literally everywhere Kaveh is" has been Alhaitham's MO from the day Kaveh appeared in the game.
From only grabbing his house keys after Kaveh returned from the desert (he couldn't have had both sets of keys at the end of the Archon Quest unless he went home and got Kaveh's copy) to ditching conversations to get back to his house only after Kaveh came home, to showing up without any warning or explanation in Kaveh's hangout with some ridiculous excuse about hearing his voice through noise-cancelling headphones... Refusing to offer any help in the Temple of Silence story quest other than staying in the library with Kaveh...
Since when does Alhaitham willingly cover anyone else's duties?
But this trend of "Be everywhere Kaveh is" didn't start when they were adults. It was already in place when they were still Akademiya students--and it's a trend that didn't end even when they had their fight.
Even when they weren't speaking, Alhaitham dogged Kaveh's every step through published responses to Kaveh's research articles in academic journals. He insisted on keeping a line of communication between himself and Kaveh open, even if the only way to do that was through very public ideological clashes. Pulling Kaveh's pigtails to get his attention lolol. It's implied that, for at least the few years between their fight and Kaveh moving in, this was the only communication between them--Alhaitham's refusal to allow their connection to entirely fade away. (And the fact that this is revealed in Kaveh's character stories--through his precious journal that records the moments of his life that had the most impact on him--shows just how deeply he values the fact that Alhaitham didn't give up.)
Another relevant side note: Alhaitham never asked Kaveh to give up his half of their house. Knowing half of it belonged to Kaveh, knowing that Kaveh may one day want to reclaim his part of it, knowing that it was listed as theirs, Alhaitham moved into the house and made zero effort to change its ownership. He was completely fine with living in "his and Kaveh's house." The stories suggest it was only months later (or even longer) that Kaveh even noticed he had the house, and he transferred away ownership of his portion without Alhaitham ever asking him (or even seemingly wanting him) to do so.
Please, let that sink in. Alhaitham actively left his grandmother's (presumably comfortable) house to move into "his and Kaveh's house," with no apparent explanation for why, and after doing so, he made no attempt to change that "his and Kaveh's" label. He moved into the house with no promise that Kaveh wouldn't show up on the doorstep the very next day and move in too. It almost feels like another deliberate provocation--I've moved into our house, are you going to come stop me? LBR, if Alhaitham had had his way, Kaveh would have been living there with him from Day 1...
There's also the fact that Kaveh literally can't write on a single message board anywhere in the entire nation of Sumeru without Alhaitham hunting his messages down and responding to them (which absolutely no one else does, by the way).
"NUH-UH!" "UH-HUH." "NUH-UH!"
Alhaitham's own character stories tell us explicitly that one of Alhaitham's defining character traits is "He is never where you need him to be," yet somehow...
Shot, and chaser:
Any time Kaveh is in the slightest bit of need or danger or just wants Alhaitham near, Alhaitham is "coincidentally" exactly where Kaveh needs him to be, whenever Kaveh needs him to be there.
Alhaitham didn't just "happen" to run into Kaveh in Port Ormos, an entirely different city from where he was supposed to be working. He didn't just "happen" to read the same terrible book as Kaveh when we know he otherwise would not waste a moment of his time on poorly-written literature...
He didn't just "happen" to appear when Kaveh was upset and needed a distraction in the House of Daena during Kaveh's hangout. He didn't just "happen" to be sitting around waiting when Kaveh needed answers after the Archon Quest. He didn't just "happen" to find Kaveh's academic publications and every single message board posting and respond to them at length and in public.
The only person for whom Alhaitham just "happens" to be available is Kaveh, over and over and over again--because he is very deliberately making himself a constant presence in Kaveh's life.
Which is exactly what Kaveh's mother told Kaveh he needed.
(Like, out of all things, I think people really underestimate the devs deliberately paralleling the romantic relationship between Kaveh's mother and father with Kaveh and Alhaitham's relationship. If you want to point to one thing that says "These two characters are intentionally queer-coded," it doesn't get any more obvious than this.)
Alhaitham, are you not embarrassed to be this transparent??? 🫣
#genshin impact#haikaveh#kavetham#alhaitham#kaveh#I wasn't even looking for half these screencaps#I was just scrolling through the content and “Oops; there's another one”#imagine thinking it's a “coincidence” to run into someone in a desert that stretches hundreds to thousands of miles#I say this in the most positive way possible#but I think Alhaitham might actually need an intervention#bro is reading PULP FICTION for a man#checking the message boards daily for updates from a dude he already lives with#skipping work to do favors for his favorite#I would say his Kaveh hyper-focus is impacting his quality of life#but Kaveh IS his quality of life so...#do you think the merchants in the market are getting savvy#when they see Alhaitham coming they're just like#“Oh Mister Alhaitham! Mister Kaveh was really admiring this painting the last time he came through--”#how many times do you think Alhaitham's brought home new foods only to never buy them again because Kaveh didn't like them?#we could end world deforestation with Alhaitham's pining alone

Saw the sonic 3 trailer are you telling me the movie based on Sonic Adventure 2 is Not anti-military??? No anti-authority theming here?? Nothing?? The game where a kid gets gunned down? Where Shadow’s grief and hate for humanity is BECAUSE of the military?? Where Sonic runs from the cops and is consistently annoyed at their existence?
#sonic 3 spoilers#sonic 3 trailer#Sonic 3 trailer spoilers#I’m. just confused.#I don’t understand#WHERES AMY N ROUGE AS WELL bad day for women Jesus Christ#YOU COULD SO EASILY FIT THEM IN THE MOVIE THO.

The Dungeon Meshi crew 'leap' into action!
#dungeon meshi#marcille donato#laios touden#senshi#chilchuk tims#Full confession time: I originally planned to post this last thursday so I could caption it “Hoppy Leap year everyone!”#But as I was sketching I realized that the tentacles and Tansu party stuff came first#So devastated to have the frog episode and leap year be a week off. Almost a beautiful coincidence.#I love how they play on Marcille's vanity to get her to wear the outfit AND repair the situation#It is true her ears make the suit look very cute.#And shout out to our girl for having her priorities straight (heh) and not wanting to rescue her crush in a frog skin suit.#Though we all know Falin would be so into the idea. The painful thing that dungeon meshi never lets us forget is her absence#Falin would love to dress as a frog...She is meant to be there so much that it is painful. Beautiful tragedy beautiful writing.#The red dragon arc starts next week and I'm clawing at the walls. To those who are anime only: Get ready.

So Rose Noble chose herself the name Rose because she shared the metacrisis bound through her mom and even with no memories, the Doctor loves Rose Tyler so much, she unconsciously knew this name has an important meaning.
The presence Rose Tyler always has without being here.
I'm fine.
#dw#doctor who#dw spoilers#i knew it the moment she was revealed that it was no coincidence#wasn't really surprised when it's revealed that she shared the metacrisis bound#still i was thrilled#if only Rose could meet Rose 😫

(Maybe) his lost twin…?
Danny doesn’t remember much of the first decade of his life. But he doesn’t really dwell on that fact too much. He’s happy with the Fentons, despite all the chaos they can cause.
Besides, the ghost attacks have a habit of interrupting any introspection time.
And when he moved to Gotham for college following a scholarship, he had no idea what he was getting himself into.
The cup slipped from Damian’s hand. The man he was staring at was nearly his mirror image except for a few small details. Most notably, a scar on his forehead.
His mind slips back to the last time he saw his brother all those years ago, bleeding from his head and telling him to run.
Could this be…?
“Danyal?” he breathed out, scarcely daring to hope
The figure’s response seemed almost reflexive. “Danny, not Daniel.”
A sob lodged itself in Damian’s throat as he lunged forward to hug his brother whom he had thought dead. “You’re alive!”
Danny pushed him back, extricating himself from the hug. “I… think you might have the wrong guy. Do I know you?”

This is a brand new science for me, and I love it. The language of luck. 'Cause what is a coincidence but a form of accident? Two things bumping together unexpectedly. Like you and me.
#dwedit#doctor who#usertennant#userteri#userveronika#miatendos#userdiana#usertreena#ruby sunday#fifteenth doctor#maestro#*#originally this was just going to be ruby + snow and then it devolved from there#memories changing... being brought into the present..... some connection to the ancient one. luck coincidences connections.#the doctor describes the legion as a 'pantheon'; a group of gods. and so far they're all personifications#the toymaker is 'a living game'; maestro is 'the essence of music itself'; henry arbinger = harbinger and acts as prelude to the gods#then 'the one who waits' is perhaps... time? death?#and 'the oldest one'... that could mean a lot of things#my first thought was that the oldest one would be death since the finale is called 'the empire of death'. alternatively: life.#but if you connect it back to ruby: luck coincidences connections. so far that's been her whole thing. so maybe something related to that#then again we're only on ep 2 of 8 so... anyway. idk what any of this means but. thinking thoughts!!!#worth noting: if the snow is a warning it starts snowing in the tardis during the scan. it reveals her genetic id/species/age#but not her nucleotide composition. whatever tf that is. and it only gets to 75% complete before it pans away. but it does finish scanning#and in canon 6+ months pass between the end of ep 1 and the beginning of ep 2 so... presumably the doctor has SEEN those results. fwiw.
