there is something kinda hysterical about Scala being called ✨ Scala ad Caelum ✨ and then having location names like Breezy Quarter. Rose Street. Long Long Street. But it’s also cute if you assume that they’re just “on the nose” types of names. Like Breezy Quarter’s full of windmills and stuff. Long is long. Maybe Rose is a street where the flower market is, for all we know

Logan being into Wade all quiet like and his pining ass having successfully navigated the Wade/Vanessa dynamic so far and everything is good now about a month into him living with Al and Wade when Cable shows up
"Old man with metal limbs and a sad-ass backstory" Cable
"I casually put on chapstick while staring into your eyes as i tell you that you remind me of my dead wife" Cable
"Theres a knife in your dick" Cable
"I use my one shot to get home on saving your life" Cable
And Logan realizes he has competition

Not sure if you are on twitter too so I am not sure if you heard, but the Uglies movie will come to Netflix this year 13th September. God, I hope so much it is just as good as the books...
Interesting! I wonder how they're going to do some parts of it, like the fact that the characters all have to be within a specific, very narrow range of skin tones- at least, the Pretty ones who aren't allowed to be very light- or dark-skinned, but I'm willing to bet the Ugly characters shouldn't look totally one race or another either after so many years of genetic intermingling.
There's also going to be a lot of CGI involved in the Pretties, if they do it right. We're not just talking supermodel- one whole point is that it's a very specific template of beauty. I guess a few Natural Pretties who lived after photography but during the before-times are mentioned, so those could give us an idea, including Lillian Russell:
and Rudolph Valentino:
there's also a "Denzel" mentioned, but I have no idea who that's about. Denzel Washington hardly looks the part, IMO. maybe when he was younger, I guess?
(others, like Cleopatra and Nefertiti, seem to just be people who were famous for their beauty since nobody can really conclusively say what they looked like. it's also kind of ironic- nobody alive at that point saw Russell or Valentino in person, and they maybe don't realize- or care -that photo editing existed back then. so it's possible they weren't as Pretty as everyone thinks, IRL)
And to have the appropriate contrast after the operation, they're going to have to make the actors look very different. So I'm curious to see how that will go down.
I guess we'll see! Gods, it's so weird to be getting an adaptation of that after all this time- I remember first reading those books when I was like 11. Specials hadn't even come out yet.
