Really wish the road 96 sequel had been about the Sanchez siblings rather than Zoe.

ohhhhhh Sandra-Lynn Faeth my beloved. she's everything. she's a high school dropout. she's a messy bitch. she's a MILF. she's divorced. she's in a polyamorous situationship. she shagged an archdevil. she went from a single mother of one to the semi-legal guardian of a 9 teenagers, one adult, 15 cats and a gryphon. she's had multiple affairs. she lives in a haunted house. she tells Fig not to smoke and immediately takes a drag off her cloves. her taste in partners is absolutely inscrutable. she's even bisexual. truly who is doing it like her

What did/do you like about Pharah?

Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.

Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).

But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.

There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.

Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.

When Rhaenys was still alive, Steve Toussaint played Corlys as such a vibrant older man. Someone still striving and full of the joy of living, even in dark moments. Their interplay, him and Eve Best as Rhaenys, was a delight. For all their flaws as characters, and the wrong he did her and his sons Alyn and Addam, they had one of the rare true love marriages in Westeros.

They even endured the loss of their children, something that often breaks marriages, and still loved each other so much.

But now Toussaint, himself still a clearly very energetic and commanding presence irl at age 59, is playing Corlys as hollowed out. The life inside him all left with Rhaenys. He looks weary down to his very bones. He made his grand ship, once named for his own glory, hers. And in many ways, he himself is living just to be hers. To turn all he built for her into a funeral pyre for the cause she felt worth dying for.

As their granddaughter put it:

I adore love stories, including tragic ones. And what Toussaint is doing now--and the chemistry he and Best played when Rhaenys was alive-- is a master class in acting and fits perfectly with the wide array we see of the fallout of war and all the ways it breaks people. He and Rhaenys should have gotten to continue growing old together and died in peace together, surrounded by all the glory and comfort he had won for her. Instead he will spend it all, and all the strength he has left, in her name.

ITS DONE

RIP zenet surrow u would love cobra starship

It's honestly so fucking funny how dead Trinity Soul is. Almost every single piece of Persona media released since has been dedicated to making that poor twink noncannonical.

Let’s be real, Bedelia is the most embarrassing thing about Hannibal’s life. Smart, tasteful, accomplished, admired, beautiful, charismatic, cold, calculating! She is the ideal woman for a man like him. And he absolutely wanted her, probably hoped she was the one before he met Will - and she thought he was a loser! Bedelia could not fucking stick him! Most perfect woman for a serial killer in Baltimore? Looks like a job for the fumbler!

Me, rewatching random Eleven-era episodes, worrying that my takes on Amy & Rory might be slightly OOC and then realizing that the writers of the show threw about five different characterizations/motivations on them throughout their run, depending on the episode and that means I get to just pick one to make my foundation and then develop it out properly:

[wuxian-vs-wangji]

Hey Fort? It's hot out here, right?

"Yes, it's Thailand, so-?"

Yeah... just a second, can you hold this with your face a moment?

*sticks a strip of Gaff tape right between his eyes.*

Just, like, for 15 seconds.

*waits while it gets hot*

Perfect.

*rips the gaff tape- and his unibrow- off*

@ all the people who dislike how big of a role moiraine played in season 1 of wot on prime.......i feel so disconnected from u i think we might actually be living on different planets lol

expanding and focusing on moiraine's perspective is the best (if not ONLY) way to adapt the early parts of the story in a new medium that doesn't allow for alternating pov the way chapters in a book can. on its face, the initial elevator pitch for wheel of time is a somewhat generic chosen one narrative. as the story progresses it becomes increasingly complex and unique, particularly in how it discusses the nature of prophecy vs interpretation/individual will and rand vs philosophy/religious themes. all of which are ideas that make the series so good in the first place but are also impossible to really capture fully upon initial introduction. this is a series that builds, its rewards are found the longer you stick with it and realize just how much of a falling dominoes situation rj has carefully lined up. and don't forget rand might be The Chosen One™ but you also need to find a way to introduce and set up the rest of the ef5

how do you make that beginning more engaging and give it a better hook? how do you adequately communicate the scale of the threat facing the world and what the dragon reborn even means? how do you make sure everyone in the ef5 is given an adequate amount of screen time? don't focus on the chosen one, focus on THE SEEKER!!!

moiraine can handle world building and exposition a bit better than the rest of the cast, given that she has literally been alive longer and seen more of the world aka can potentially answer audience questions as they come up. she also functions as both insider (aes sedai vs ef5) and outsider (ef5+moiraine vs white tower) as the story progresses, an interesting shift for her character and a cool way to mimic rj's whole thing about showing how easily characters can end up in over their heads. ALSO from a craft perspective, some of the strongest material to come out of the books, and arguably one of rj's greater talents as a writer, can be found in how much characterization is laid out in how characters see/perceive other characters. if you make moiraine the guiding force of the start of the narrative, you can translate this strength rather well to television -- you get to see how she sees the Edmonds field kids.

also. would you deny her the gift of receiving head bc they decided to confirm and expand on her gay little backstory. would u really go as far as to say she doesn't deserve a little (gay) head for all her trouble + suffering

[radioroxx]

yargh. complicated characters save me complicated characters…

[pulim-v]

uhm uh Stanley pines and luz

Red is Stan, ourple is Luz. Tbh I haven't watched GF in a while so I might be wrong but Stan really is the character ever (also Luz suffers a slight bit from Unremarkable Protagonist Syndrome, but gets better the more the series goes on, being just. amazing. in s2b and s3.)
