Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford in Lethal Weapon (2016) Best Buds

S1E3

Riggs and Murtaugh follow a violent case involving a drug cartel, theft, two killings and, unfortunately, Murtaugh's old T.O., Ned Brower. As the case unfolds, it turns out that Ned is more involved than just driving the cash, which leaves Murtaugh with an inevitably dangerous decision to make. Looking for back-up, the duo turns to Cruz for help. In the midst of all the chaos, Riggs continues to depend on outside vices, rather than face the reality of Miranda's death, while Murtaugh and Trish struggle to find alone time.

*The driver of the armored truck at the beginning was a character by the name of Ned Brower, played be none other than Ted Levine. This scene plays homage to another movie Ted Levine was in, HEAT (1995) where he was part of a crew that rammed a large truck into the side of an armored truck in order to rob it.

I know this scene has been redrawn a million times over but I had to

The 141, with help of Nik and a couple friends, are tracking an Anarchist group in the UK. There's been some evidence that they plan on doing something big (and possibly dumb) and that they've gotten their hands on some big weapons.

Theyre just scouting out the base of operations of these guys, just gathering intel.

Price points out one particular guy: big, beefy blonde guy with a thick Scottish accent and very punk grunge aesthetic.

"Must be the ringleader" the captain says and it seems to be true. Everyone watches this guy with curiosity when Soap gasps lightly

"No fucking way" Soap says

"What?"

"He's my fucking ex" Soap replies, shocked and a bit embarrassed in all honesty.

Now I'm just picturing all of them turning to give Soap A Look

Gaz just shakes his head and goes "you have incredibly questionable taste in men"

To which Nik asks Ghost "not offended?"

Ghost: "I've learned the truth hurts sometimes."

something i noticed is that whenever crowley and aziraphale do have physical touch it’s always ( ? ) aziraphale initiating it . it’s aziraphale who occasionally puts his hand on crowley’s chest , arm , back , whatever to guide him . it’s aziraphale resting his hand on crowley’s arm to tell him something . it’s aziraphale took crowley’s hand to dance , something crowley would have never done otherwise . but the kiss . that is the first time crowley has been the one to initiate physical contact . the first time . and as far as he knows , the last .

This might be a good time for one of your "rpf is not reality" posts, just sayin 👀

askfgsaf you're probably right (referencing this) and for those who are wondering, I basically feel semi responsible for keeping landoscar rpf from crossing boundaries bc I've written so much abt them for so long - so once in a while I'll post reminders that the fandom doesn't welcome delusional ppl and we don't allow girlfriend hate etc pls just ignore if you're like wtf is this bitch talking about

bc the problem is not that people outside fandom use ship names publicly like Oscar very tentatively did yesterday - one of Daniel’s first orders of business on camera with Lando was to (jokingly) declare landan would be superior to carlando. Carlos, Lando, Adam (Lando's dad), McLaren, Netflix, every sponsor for F1 and F1’s official accounts themselves use carlando's ship name and content for engagement. (in fact McLaren almost never use the term 'landoscar' at all but still 'carlando' many times up to the current day) tbh it's actually more common for drivers to big up their bromances than to be like Lando and Oscar who have never gone that route outside of McLaren's usual PR stuff (which has also been wayyyy below the amount they did for Carlos and Daniel). it's actually been kind of nice that they drew that boundary of not sharing their time together outside of work beyond a passing mention and they don't do any gay chicken or overly PDA for fans that yes I personally love but that can lead certain ppl into thinking it's legit romantic/sexual. and that Lily (and Lando's dating/romantic/night life asflgsafja) are so visible and present bc we haven't had to deal with the whole pipeline of rpf delulu invading the ship. we got ahead of all that crazy.

and the problem is not even just when fans use the ship names outside fandom bc often the drivers themselves or people around them bait for it. the vast majority of people (including the drivers) think ship names/bromances are all a fun joke or at it's most serious it's just reflective of their real life platonic friendship/brotherliness etc. most of the popular usage has no sexual/romantic intent at all.

The Problem !! is fans crossing very clear boundaries !! and those are

being overly, grossly sexual (read the room type thing) or being pushy about the ship to the drivers involved (or their friends, families, teams) pushy meaning things like "admit it, driver name is closer to driver x than driver y" "we want pics/content of ship name" "we all know ship x is superior to ship y" "driver x prefers driver y over his own girlfriend" or top voting comments about a ship that has nothing to do with the post at all

deciding the ship is "real" (or “if it weren't for homophobia they would be together right now”) and becoming obsessive/pushing an agenda that always includes pretending that girlfriends and wives are fake or PR or beards or horrible witches controlling the poor weak white male millionaire athlete. sometimes with a side of thinking that teams are involved in the big gay cover up by "hiring/arranging" girlfriends for the drivers (when the teams can't even keep scandals about their own staff locked down alfhgsalfj trust me if a driver was closeted, he and his management alone would be taking care of that cover up and they'd NEVER risk telling teams who have rotating staff and who the driver will probably leave at some point anyway)

and the consequences of fans crossing those boundaries are

if you actively try to push a celebrity to come out then either way it will absolutely not happen, regardless of what their real sexuality is - and if you insinuate too heavily then they will probably double down on their heterosexuality to shut you up (again, regardless of their real sexuality so it doesn't matter either way!)

if you push a bromance ship too hard or publicly present it too seriously then it WILL backfire and at best your fandom is fucked until things calm down - at worst those two people might very possibly want to avoid each other because of the unwelcome insinuations and invasiveness. and if you abuse girlfriends/wives as part of it then you'll get an even angrier reaction (yes this is partly included in Lando's story about the breakup with Lu and the hate she got)

even drivers who play gay for jokes have certain limits - Daniel was at least partly genuinely concerned that people thought he was actually dating Max at one point. Carlos was openly disturbed by fans in a 2019/20? livestream who told him to kiss Lando and he pointedly told them they were very very weird in a not at all amused voice. and three of these men were in serious relationships with women at the time those things happened.

and the thing is with landoscar, Lando and Oscar don't do gay stuff as a joke at ALL and they genuinely take a gender neutral line in discussing theoretical dating and romance questions. that could easily be them just being progressive! it doesn’t mean anything that we as strangers can publicly claim about them and definitely not TO them! and specifically with Oscar, we really don’t know his feelings in terms of fans saying even jokey sexual stuff to him but I would personally say err on not doing it too hard. he's not a prude at all but he's absolutely not publicly raunchy or suggestive to a degree a lot of the drivers are. (I'd also like to say mayyyybe even back off of the Lily stuff directly to him, or at least don't get too comfy about it? idk it's been getting a bit much and he's clear about not wanting that part of his life discussed openly. getting weird how ppl keep demanding photos of her under his posts likeeee she's not a commodity ok!)

I usually say how we in landoscar fandom adore Lily - which we do! - but fuck it, even if Oscar or Lando were dating/seeing someone problematic or that we didn’t adore (!!hint!!) it is STILL not justification for pretending Lando and Oscar are in a secret gay relationship and that the woman they're with is just a cover-up/fake. like yes we all happen to love Lily but our respect for her as a human being and the boundaries between ourselves and her isn’t contingent on affection !! it's basic human respect and healthy boundaries !!

it's why I stick to tumblr and discord for really going off w rpf. even if someone tried to share any of it we know damn well none of the drivers will follow an unsolicited tumblr link (idk maybe Fernando might not know but I doubt he goes anywhere near social media DMs aslfgsalj)

but yea I think fandom overall can keep those people who cross boundaries mostly under control without getting into any fandom police bs. we can all go stupid in explicitly fandom spaces like tumblr ao3 etc but anywhere a driver or someone close to them could stumble upon easily it's worth a quick polite word of advice to ppl who are definitely going too far <3

dawg he didnt need to hit him like that

When Professor Layton and The Miracle Mask was released, everybody was so focused on Randall/Layton and Randall/Henry that they didn't notice the toxic yaoi couple right in front of them.

Narcisse and Frankie. Or Conner and Frankie if you played the US version.

(Now before we get started, I just want to clarify that this is not a healthy couple. Narcisse treats Frankie terribly and they bring out the absolute worst in one another.)

When we first meet Frankie and Narcisse, they are trying to con Layton and company. Narcisse immediately destroys the straight allegations by saying this to Frankie:

From this interaction we find out that Narcisse clearly does not want to be seen in public with Frankie and their relationship is a well guarded secret. At least, by Narcisse. Frankie is not so good at pretending.

Narcisse also says weird homoerotic stuff about his fingers.

So Narcisse treats Frankie like a dog and talks about men losing themselves in his fingers. They must get up to some wild shit in the bedroom.

After they are called out, they immediately start bickering like a married couple.

The second time we meet Frankie and Narcisse, Narcisse still acts like he doesn't know Frankie. Things go the same way with the pair bickering and Frankie storming off.

Later on, we see Narcisse and Frankie. Sharing a hotel room. With only one bed. Interesting.

Frankie calls Narcisse by a nickname, Narc. That's pretty sweet.

And even Narcisse shows a softer side to Frankie when they're alone.

Wait, never mind...

From the way things are heating up, they're either going to make out or break up. It could go either way.

Unfortunately, neither of these things happen because at that moment Layton unexpectedly bursts in and starts looking through their stuff.

Layton is completely oblivious to how impolite and weird it is to just enter a stranger's hotel room and start looking around.

Frankie and Narcisse are both clearly uncomfortable and annoyed at being interrupted.

Frankie: *panicking* Oh God, he knows about the stolen stuff we're hiding!

Narcisse: *panicking* Oh God, he knows I'm sleeping with someone way below my league!

Thank Goodness Layton didn't show up ten minutes later or he would have witnessed Narcisse putting his dexterous digits to good use.

The last time we see Narcisse and Frankie is during the end credits. They are together, so it seems they didn't go their sperate ways after all.

Either Narcisse needs to start appreciating Frankie, or Frankie needs to find a new man. Or woman. He canonically has a crush on Angela so either is fine.

Guys you HAVE to believe me when I say that William Emmerson is autistic and that jigsaw and the police force(specifically Metro’s police force) are his special interests 🙏

Started listening to The Silt Verses yesterday, and my favorite thing so far is how the episode where the cop talks about how the police created a god just for them and calls officers minorities has the content warning "police corruption".

[tiredgoblingalore]

Why am I starting to commonly see some puritanical bullshit in form of esoteric speech? People talking about how having casual sex or having multiple partners “disrupts your own energy because many other energies entering your body will mess with yours” or how having sex with someone forms a “soul tie” and how that’s “giving a piece of yourself away”. Why the hell is purity culture and slut-shaming being repackaged as spirituality? Like, I completely get not being someone who finds casual sex appealing, but why does it have to come with the shaming of people who do?
