alicent refusing to refer to aemond's crimes with actual words… opting out by saying "you know what he is" over and over again; because saying it outright will only make it more real for her. the religious guilt of having raised a kinslayer. is this really her sweet boy whose eye they have taken? no… it can't be, she tells herself. i wonder if she lies awake at night thinking what she has done wrong. where exactly it went wrong.

my new thing whenever an embarrassing memory jumps up out of some backwater neuron to t-bone my present-day thought process is to declare a statute of limitations. like i can burn down an entire building in the state where i live and the law deems it both unfair and illegal to prosecute me after six years have passed, i think that thing i said in high school can be expunged from my record.

genuinely stunned at the fantastic choice for Percy not to pray to his absent and unknown father—like he did in the books—but to his mother.
the show is really taking us to one of riordan’s central theses straight off the bat.
parenthood isn’t about power and legacy and the recognition of shared blood.
It’s about the incredible act of showing up for your child—again and again and a-fucking-gain. That’s how you inspire respect. That’s how you become a child’s patron and beloved god.

thinking about transmasc rose tyler again. where he transitioned in the years between while in the other dimension, and when the doctor turns to see him for the first time in so long, there’s a beat where he wonders- and then the doctor is grinning and running towards him without hesitation.

I'm perfectly aware that people are admiring the new Deadpool movie mostly for Wade's interactions with Logan but does anyone want to pay some attention to the soundtracks from there?
Like holy fuck the entire movie literally consists of my favorite songs, such as "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis & The News, "You're The One That I Want" by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, and MADONNA'S "LIKE A PRAYER." The first two songs are my absolute all-time favorites, and should I mention that when I heard these in the movie i literally screamed?
And here's also one important thing about them all. Each one of the above-mentioned songs — that are clearly about love and stuff, I should point out — was chosen exactly for logan's and wade's interactions. They were chosen purposefully.
What is this, a heaven on earth?
