[thelilylav]

My one true gripe w the ending of hazbin hotel was Charlie did NOT get to go apeshit enough let my girl lose her temper I need to see her rage

Also here’s the actual comic lol:

Leverage 4x1 - "The Long Way Down Job"

[abyssal-ilk]

it's so painful that i can't romance vivienne with an inquisitor who is genuinely head over heels, absolutely heartstruck by her. because now all i can do is imagine mescha sitting on her balcony late at night as she spins the ring vivienne gave to her around her finger again and again and again as she stares at the stars and wonders if it any of it means anything at all. if any of the 'darling's and 'my dear's and 'sweet thing's vivienne has so casually sent her way meant anything more than just passive endearment.

why does the pjo series have to unnecessarily villainize goddesses (hera & athena) or show them as silly ladies (aphrodite & demeter) BUT posiedon and apollo are somehow shown as the coolest/most likeable gods, even though arguably, they're right after zeus on terms of corruption?

ares shown as the worst god after zeus and hera amuses me. last time i checked, he was the patron god of amazons and literally killed a man for attempting to rape his daughter but guess who cursed women for rejection? apollo. guess who raped women when they said no (aside from zeus)? posiedon.

Garmadon is totally into strong women who can and will beat him to a pulp whilst cussing him out.

For some reason, it runs in the family.

Edit: you know that tag i added saying “wish i could say Morro too but he’s probably the strong woman in the relationship”?

Yeah, that’s the Fsm too.

No, I’m not explaining.

[GLASS ONION SPOILERS BELOW]

a story in three acts:

1.

2.

3.

[anthyies]

cass is blunt and perceptive and well-deservedly cocky and stubborn and perfectionist and self-punishing. and yet people love to put on their racism goggles when talking about her and say she’s the perfect emotional support and perfect daughter and sibling and always supports people perfectly like do you hear yourselves. she’s her own character with so much interiority and so many problems and also she wouldn’t fucking say that

[lizmitches]

How do you imagine swarla's first kiss happening? I'm a big gay who fell asleep thinking about it last night 😭

picture this:

carla finally breaks. because how could you not? months of push and pull, approach and retreat, and it’s worn her down to the quick. she’s so tired of wishful thinking. tired of getting her hopes up. tired of not knowing what version of lisa she’ll be greeted with each day.

so she takes a step back. she folds inward. she shuts down. lisa watches—is finally able to see carla’s pain living so close to the surface—and it’s just another thing she’s accountable for, isn’t it? another thing she’s ruined. another person she’s pushed away.

she trips over herself, apologizes.

and despite carla’s hurt, she looks at lisa in confusion. because they’re friends, aren’t they? really, don’t beat yourself up about it. please, just cut yourself some slack. it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.

until it’s not, and carla is crying. month’s worth of frustration reaches its boiling point, tears coming out faster than she can stop them, and she has to turn away to save herself the embarrassment.

sorry. she didn’t mean to—it really is okay. she should go.

and then lisa reaches out to grab her wrist.

B'Elanna, Neelix, Tuvok and Chakotay needed to star in an episode where they just talked about their different beliefs and approaches to spirituality/religion. Paired off and all together. I need to gain more insight. I need characterization and I need it to be messy.

[eats-a-berry]

i swear this panel drives me INSANE. this as a visual while the text says "it feels like we're pretty close", them being the same age but hien already having developed her tough personality while he's still a sensitive boy. this being one of the FEW things we know about their relationship. what tje hell man what the hell

[puppyeared]

i feel like. theres designing a character with certain themes and motifs in mind, and then theres making a gijinka for the water bottle on my nightstand

[wilsons-journey]

July finished the Core story and slayed her first dragon.

Some shots from the Mission:

And some Bonus Screens, because the game bugged in the mission and removed the fog - revealing some interesting Map details:

Floating giants, and one additional tired giant. He didn't even bothered to stand up.

A funny floating Island - so nicely shaped.

Zhaitans "Rock" - looks so odd without the dramatic fog.

[kazamajun]

I have been meaning to talk about how accomplished Jun is though. She:

is such a powerful psychic that her clan apparently considered her a 'chosen one'

is literally such a strong fighter that she is able to suppress projecting her aura - something only the most powerful are able to do - which is why animals feel safe to approach her

fought well enough in the second tournament that Kazuya still thinks about her strength 22 years later in the story mode and waxes lyrical about it in his character ending (❓ on if she actually faced him though)

defeated Devil while pregnant ✔️ (only the half, but still counts)

has the survival skills to not only survive but thrive far from civilization

defeated Ogre ✔️

achieved the above via drawing power from sacred ground, something the average person obviously cannot do

is implied to have Yatagarasu guiding her per one of her intros

[girl-intrigued]

The thing I love the most about Alicent's mad dogs ( Criston & Larys ) is that she can be completely open , vulnerable and honest with them without any fear of judgement from them. She confides in Larys that she wishes her father was with her in kings landing and he would be partial to her, also Larys offers her Luke's eye. As with Criston , she can freely rant about how everyone turns a blind eye to Rhaenyra's bastards, also note : Criston laughs at her joke about Laenor entertaining his young squires. Their loyalty isn't tied to her piousness or her being the ideal queen. They support her rights and also her wrongs. They would do anything for her doesn't matter morally right or not.

Ngl, I'm gonna take alll my DM shipper feels, put them in a box, bury the box, and leave it there for five years like a time capsule so that I can dig them up a few seasons down at the appropriate time. That way, next season, I won't have to remind myself that I cannot hold a show to what I want (this is why we have fanfiction, lol). But at least with this there's hope for the future.

Anyway---I am SO ready for the absolute chaos! I'm ready for Daniel and Louis teaming up even if Louis could explode at any time, I'm ready for Claudia who did NOT deserve ANY of it (😢), I'm ready for Louis standing up, I'm ready for Lestat because I can't even begin to image the insanity of that trial, I'm ready for Santiago to be the worst but also SERVE, I'm ready for Armand to have done all the things that he will never truly manage to atone for, I'm ready for the S1 revisits, I am SO ready for Louis to go all Firestarter on the TdV, I'm ready for the bodice ripper moment between Loumand, and the MUCH needed hug between Loustat (when is that even happening I have so many QUESTIONS), I'm ready for more of Raglan James and what that could mean for next season given his role in the books, I'm ready to see if that prop is the legit published book that Daniel writes or not, etc...

One of the beauties of Interview with the Vampire is that nothing is ever quite as we expect and it's always FANTASTIC! I know we're 3 weeks out from the end of the season but I'm already going to miss the giddy feeling of waiting for an episode every week and seeing it twice on the same day and seeing all the speculation afterwards. Regardless of the fighting or the shipping discourse (regardless of my rankings I am a toxic polycule believer ^_^), it really has been so fun to see everyone on here get excited and have the show trending every week.

Fingers crossed for the S3 confirmation soon after S2 ends!

One night on a cabin trip with us, and it's very apparent that Poppy is an only dog-child. Honestly pretty interesting to see a 3yo make social blunders that've gotten picked off our other dogs as puppies - things like trying to lick the others' bowls while they're still eating, pushing past the dog being given affection to get attention, jostling and knocking into the others at inopportune times. And then being very very sad and sorry each time she got reprimanded by either of them.
