Karl Anton Verloc and his wife own a small cinema in a quiet London suburb where they live seemingly happily. But Mrs. Verloc does not know that her husband has a secret that will affect their relationship and threaten her teenage brother’s life. Credits: TheMovieDb. Film Cast: Mrs. Verloc: Sylvia Sidney Karl Verloc – Her Husband: Oskar Homolka Stevie – Her Young Brother: Desmond Tester Ted: John Loder Renee: Joyce Barbour Superintendent Talbot: Matthew Boulton Hollingshead: S.

Oskar Homolka (“Mr. Verloc”) falls foul of some criminals who offer to pay him for carrying out an act of sabotage. This doesn’t quite cause the mayhem they desire so he is unwittingly, this time, involved a much more deadly action. Unbeknown to him, Scotland Yard are on to them and have planted a detective (John Loder) in the greengrocers who befriends the family. The plot unfolds slowly and tensely. Loder and (“Mrs. Verloc”) a slightly dewy-eyed Sylvia Sidney fall for each other as we go along. That storyline slightly districts from the suspense and the ending comes along a bit too rapidly for me. Great to watch, though…

I would find Blondie Lockes very annoying in real life, but I love her in fiction. She's a genuinely good journalist in terms of both skill and ethical integrity, who only occasionally forgets to check the facts because she's fifteen and holds herself accountable when she does. She has incredibly high standards for everything and believes herself to be the ultimate authority on quality. She has magical lockpicking powers because her fairytale is about Goldilocks breaking into a house. She somehow completely ignores the story's moral that Goldilocks was wrong to break into the house, feels entitled to go wherever and help herself to whatever she's able to and cannot comprehend why people dislike this. She's been terrorizing an anthropomorphic bear family with her cheerful disrespect for privacy and is convinced that they love her. She has a non-anthropomorphic pet baby bear. Her motivation is dependence on external approval rooted in deeply internalized classism. She's desperate to be useful and important to those with higher social status and feels the need to lie that her family is technically royalty to fit in with her royal friends, even though they treat commoners like equals all the time. She positions herself as a conduit of true greatness; closer to it than the masses, but never the hero, always reporting on other people and evaluating what they've done. Because what she's done isn't enough to be worthwhile. What she is isn't enough. But this performative lifestyle makes her anxious about being judged as a fraud and an interloper, and ashamed of selfishly transgressing against social norms. Her microphone head looks like an adorable little bear head. That's one hex of a character alright.

Hey Cass, I found an animatic on your youtube for a Cyberpunk AU of the Dream SMP. I tried finding it but the link doesn't work (and I never really use twitter), do you know where I could go find it?

Oh..well. I deleted my twitter so I guess nowhere. But I still have it on my Ipad so. Here👍

I’m currently rewatching the first episodes of Star Trek ds9 and I really love how it starts with the emissary, a serious 2-parter. It opens with the battle in which Ben Sisko saves his injured son and finds his wife dead and has to be dragged away from her body to evacuate the ship which then explodes. The rest of the episode explores the impact of this trauma and of course establishes the station, bajor, the cardassians, the profits and the wormhole. I think it does a great job of representing what DS9 is all about.

I also really love how the next episode opens on Garak meeting and trying to fuck Bashir— I mean inviting him to come to his clothing shop for a bit of enjoyable company. Then Bashir rushes to ops tells everyone about it but gets interrupted by a bajoran terrorist running from cardassians and then requesting political asylum. I think it does a great job of representing what DS9 is all about.

the fact that we never got a scene of tyler dancing in the club is criminal. RIP tyler durden, you would have loved early 2000’s club music.

Now onto the million dollar question, Desmond is Honkai Star Rail

Full disclosure, as an HSR player, I:

1) … have named the MC ‘Desmond’ XD

2) … am absolutely bias towards the Stellaron Hunters (like, they’re the only characters I plan to ever pull for their signature lightcones hahahaha)

Because of those two points, I actually had a small idea of the Trailblazer being named Desmond.

The idea came to me while I was playing the Loufu storyline (the main one with Dan Heng, not the Wardance one later on) with Kafka’s companion quest.

In that quest, Kafka lets the MC ask 2 questions, Kafka must answer 1 truthfully and the other she must lie about.

So my idea is that Desmond asks Kafka “Who am I?” and Kafka would tell him

“You are a clone of Desmond Miles. Elio created your body using what remains of Sample 17 but modified your body so you could host a Stellaron. Before the time comes that you must take the Stellaron at Herta Space Station as you are destined to, I was responsible with protecting you, as well as teaching you general knowledge, common sense and combat skills. You don’t remember who I am because of the Stellaron inside you.”

And Desmond’s second question was

“Am I the real Desmond Miles?”

Kafka answers with a smile, “No.”

And now comes the two possible scenarios.

The Trailblazer Desmond is the real Desmond Miles:

Kafka’s first answer is the truth with sprinkles of lies added for it to be considered as the ‘lie’ of the two answers. His body was not made using Sample 17, that’s long been destroyed. Desmond’s body isn’t a clone, it was created using the genetic memory of a descendant of Desmond Miles from his son Elijah.

That descendant?

The mysterious leader of the Stellaron Hunter going by the name of Elio.

The Trailblazer Desmond isn’t the real Desmond:

So this one is an idea of mind that started to pop out around the end of Penacony.

I ship Firefly and the Trailblazer but I don’t really see Desmond as a romantic partner for Firefly so this idea is that the Trailblazer is a clone of Desmond Miles created using what remains of Sample 17 by Elio. Elio himself is a ‘codename’ and the black cat that appears at times is an actual cat that Elio can connect with.

Elio’s real name is Desmond Miles and his moniker as ‘Destiny’s Slave’ is actually an insult to remind him how his death had been predetermined just like everything about his life as Desmond Miles. He’s actually using a half-biological half-mechanical body that houses his ‘consciousness’ as both Desmond Miles and as the Reader.

The Stellaron Hunters are the current iteration of the Brotherhood, more focused on recovering Stellarons because Desmond wants to change the past and the Stellarons have the energy needed to do that.

His predictions are made using his connection to the Calculations and he treats the Stellaron Hunters more like his children (except Kafka who is more like a sister to him, Blade though… he absolutely sees Blade as his emo oldest son)

The reason why he created the Trailblazer is because the Stellaron in Herta’s Space Station is the core needed for him to complete his desire for a device that can change the past. But to complete the device, he needed the Stellaron to develop a desire to protect living beings thus…

He had what pretty much is his child be part of the Astral Express so they could experience what the infinite cosmos could offer.

(Imma be honest, if Desmond was an actual character, I know it makes sense that he would follow the Hunt path but we already have Moze being the One target Assassin so I kinda like the idea that Desmond follows the path of Destruction and, as a reference to his connection with the Trailblazer, his normal attack is single target but his skill is a blast attack. His ultimate would be him whistling and ghost Assassins would air assassinate every enemy in the field, similar to Altaïr’s summoning of ghost Assassins in AC Revelations. His element would most probably be Imaginary but that puts him in competition with DHIL so maybe something like Quantum or Physical instead?)

reread Gensokyo Channel One for the first time in ages, and past me is lucky that cross-temporal word processors don't exist yet, or the rough draft of that story would be buried under ten thousand notes of 'this scene could be combined with the previous one' and 'did we really need a roughly three-paragraph-long scene that amounts to By The Way Nitori Is Still Doing The Same Thing She Was Half A Chapter Ago???'

Accurate reperesnation of navigating Sinnoh in Diamond and Pearl (the black line is post game including the near impossibwl to obtain event items that gave you Darkrai, Shaymin and the Azure Flute to catch Arceus... which was never released outside of Japan becauae it was "too complicated" for children...)

LITERALLY it's the running around in circles in the north side cave section between celestic town and eterna city. surely this is how you climb mount coronet right? right??? surely there's a path? and then some more running around at the top of the mountain once you do manage to make it. help

I thought Yor was trying to learn how to cook because Anya kept bringing up that her food was bad, but this annihilated me

[the-insufferable-know-it-all]

just watched the first season of Slow Horses with Gary Oldman and it’s phenomenal. I know it was based on a book and watching it felt like reading one. really incredible stuff to capture that essence on screen

my one gripe is that Olivia Cooke, my love, was set up to be a main character but wasn’t in half the season! tragic

BABE WAKE UP THE WITCH HAT ATELIER TRAILER FINALLY DROPPED

Dear Dungeon Meshi and Frieren fans, buckle up cause you're gonna love this.

Palestinians: Israel is commiting a genocide against us.

Scholars and experts: Israel is commiting genocide in the Gaza strip.

Israel: We are commiting genocide :)

Zionists with actual shit where their brains should be: You can't accuse Israel of genocide, that's so antisemitic, I bet you just hate Jews >:(

Western media: This situation is just complicated and who can say for sure what's going on?

thinking about the crack au i had in the depths of a dream once where Adrien was the frontman of One Direction, Marinette was Y/N in the front row reading a book (with the sole intention of making Adrien think she wasn't like other girls)...

...and Claudia was the person who set off a bomb backstage so she could steal lots of 1D's personal belongings without getting caught (and hopefully make millions), but who happened to briefly take Adrien as a hostage at one point and that basically NLOGs her harder than Y/N ever could so he's infatuated.
