[Reading Downton Abbey fanfiction] I think we should bring back referring to premarital sex as "anticipating one's vows"

Ah! I just realized that these two have intense vibes to Werewolfxvampire topic

Ok... I assume someone already wrote a fic with this theme (maybe), but it's funny that I think of it until now

Well that solves the themed drawing of them for halloween

I watched Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire and… it really doesn’t deserve the torrent of hatred I’ve seen it receive online.

It’s not a perfect movie, sure, but I’d say it’s an honest one; I feel like I saw exactly what I was told I would get. Even though it doesn’t have the most original story, it’s not bad, and it already has a very dense (but easily digestible) lore, as well as many creative and original designs. Plus, this was only Part One, and they said a longer, R-rated version would also be released at some point, so we’ve only seen maybe one-third of the story…

Creating an entirely new fictional universe that, although it’s inspired by many others (and this was never hidden), isn’t part of an existing franchise with an established lore, is hard and ambitious, and the film was clearly made with care and passion, so I for one welcome the effort.

Rebel Moon has potential, and I want to see more of it. When Part 2, The Scargiver, releases, I will be there!

thoughts on stranger things 🎤

the first two seasons were slow (or that's how i felt due to colour palette) this is one of the few shows that gets better each season (i am little mad at the potential they wasted by not giving will more screentime after s2 like he could have been more than just a indicator but again it works because trauma and stuff and so that's okay), my interest started picking from s3 specially will all the vibrant colours and it kept adding more challenges without being totally unbelievable (a little pass here and there but that's okay). the subtle portrayal of lgbt+ people was nice. the character growth of steve had me gushing but the decline in character growth of mike had me mad. Season 4 was really the it season, came in with bang, scarier elements and also tied everything up so nicely relating to S1 which was honestly kudos to great writing. Love the morally gray characters and how they were able to show actual trends of the 90s and issues along with the whole supernatural thing, the episode 4 was the best for me (ep 9 was heartwrenching yes but) ep4 really gave that metaphorical touch to depression. Mad about wasting such a brilliant character like Eddie but again it's believable scenario of him not wanting to run away broke my heart how he's still known and hated as freak killer mad with that small bit of time skip in between and us not being able to see everyone's reaction to eddie's death but ok that's personal grudge, over-all I loved and it and tho with few flaws it's one of the best shows ever yeah

A few days ago, I found this Lucia di Lammermoor fic that’s an AU in which Edgardo arrives before Lucia signs the wedding contract, and they eventually end up together and she doesn’t go mad and whatever, and it’s somewhat saccharine happily-ever-after stuff, but the one thing that stood out for me was that there is a bit where Lucia BITCH-SLAPS Edgardo in front of all the wedding guests.

Just checked the comment section of a trailer for the black and white movie Zero Hour!, and 99.99% of the comments are quotations from Airplane! and I couldn't be more satisfied. (it's such a faithful parody of Zero Hour! that the producers actually bought the rights to the script btw)
