I made a YouTube playlist of Michael Sheen's Take That spotify playlist for those of us who don't have spotify.

I tried to only use versions that included lyrics in the description (or video if necessary)

I think it's so funny that we as a fandom just saw Matthew and collectively agreed, "Oh yeah, this guy isn't gonna survive the trilogy, or if he does manage to live, it'll not be as a shadowhunter." And Cassie probably got super offended we guessed the plot and just rewrote the book in a completely different direction and threw our theories to the dust and just killed off Kit instead.

It's kinda admirable.

Movie Toad when he met Mario: "You're my best friend!" Movie Toad when he meets Luigi: "You're my other best friend!"

Mario: "Okay, you're moving a little fast there. I won't argue, but I'm a bit suspicious." Luigi:

— iv. broken | trust

Trust. It isn’t easily given, nor is it easily accepted. He was the first person she trusted in Eorzea. She doesn’t know how or why, but she did. She took that risk. In the years that followed, there was a time when their friendship had disintegrated to such a degree that it was a stab to the gut, and all they knew was how to twist the knife deeper. Even then—even through that—she trusted him. Trusted him when they were both broken and stupid and fuelled by spite and hate and grief. The faith she has in him is a different kind now. Stronger, implicit, as natural as drawing breath. When they are in the thick of it, he is her guardian and she his shield. She trusts him. Even when he is being impetuous and stubborn and a fool. Even when he has no regard for his own well-being. When sacrifice is a word that comes terrifyingly easily to his mind.   She knows he will do the right thing. And she will be there, to pick him up when he is broken, just as he has done for her. Come what may, she will be there.

So far the one big criticsm I have is- I do hate how they made the Qun a boogeyman for Antivan Crows to be cool vigilantes about. I was sort of having some hope maybe they would make this more interesting with no real good guys, but nope, Qunari are more bad racist caricature of a society then ever before and Antivan Crows conviniently forgot they get most of their recruits from child slavery I guess.

And like, I know know they made a really huge point of calling it "Antaam" and not "Qunari". But still, their leader getting nicknamed "the butcher". The whole dictator-coded speech was also very odd for Qunari. And yeah, the qunari writing was always very problematic but it feels like this time there wasn't any thought put into how to write them in an interesting fashion and maybe fix some past mistakes (since writers are clearly willing to retcon things), instead all we get "Qun bad Assasins good".

Does anyone have recommended reading on assimilated Jews and Catholic conversion in postwar Europe, also on political Catholicism (including Anglo-Catholicism, but especially movements in Poland and France) after WWII and in the broader Cold War context. Thanks to Muriel Spark I'm chewing on this topic again

like holy fuck, it's terrifying how mainly teens these days think it's okay to be mean to someone on the internet especially when they think someone deserves it... the idea that some things are irredeemable and mean someone can be brought to filth just cos they've done "something bad" without even doing any sort of research what it was and what they actually said scares me so much

But seriously though you do kind of have to wonder about the future of the Republican party now that it's basically just a massive cult of personality whose entire existence and ideology and messaging hinges upon the word and whim of a senile 78 year old man. Like the odds are overwhelming that Trump is going to die within the next 10 years. And then what.

I honestly don't have high hopes for the Skydance merger. Unless Paramount is going to come out and apologize for how they've hurt their fans, I don't see any reason to keep giving them money.

Find it interesting how I keep seeing those cartesian graph posts where the axes are different tropes or tones, with each corner being interesting because they're either poignantly genuine or going against expectations...

And then a certain fandom shows up every time smugly asserting that their webcomic goes right in the middle.

Apparently not realising that the middle of such a graph is the 'kind of boring because it doesn't commit to anything' option.
