#the actors are still alive

[magefelixir]

call me apathetic but i think this fandom has an unhealthy attachment to people who they don’t actually know and all need to collectively take a deep breath and a step back

todd is horrible at eye-contact, horrible in the way where he can barely hold it with someone for two seconds without looking elsewhere. the only time he ever looks at people is when he's checking to make sure they're still listening to him. neil is the opposite. eye-contact is one of his strengths, partially because of all the acting he does. he finds no problem with looking at people when he speaks. if anything, he finds it nice to let people know he's paying attention to them. with todd, neil loves to stare at him as he rambles on about writing or his day or what he ate for breakfast, analyzing the same face he's seen a thousand times before. same blue eyes, same brown hair, same lips, same nose, same everything. he enjoys looking at his boyfriend, and he makes sure to listen to every word he says, even if it all comes out in a stammered mess, because he never wants todd to feel overlooked.

HAPPY 65 YEARS OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE, MR. SERLING! Pilot, "Where Is Everybody?", originally aired October 2nd, 1959 on CBS.

MIKE FERRIS: Hey. Don't go away, up there. Next time, it won't be a dream or a nightmare. Next time, it'll be for real. So don't go away. We'll be up there in a little while.

I know it’s kind of been buried by how excellent the trial and loustat reunion are, but Louis’ grief and guilt over Lestat in the first half of season 2 is just so good. It was legitimately gut wrenching to me when I first watched season 2 even knowing from the books that Lestat was obviously still alive. I think I gasped when I first saw dreamstat on the ground in 2x01. And how revealing Louis is with dreamstat! It really altered my perception of Louis and deepened his characterization for me

Vivinos/Alien Stage:

- Sua haunting the narrative

- Mizi not healed from her death

- Omg it’s Hyuna she is so cool and badass (I genuinely love her so much don’t mind me)

- Ivantill kiss but at the cost of our sanity

- Sua slapping Ivan in the head and calling him a hypocrite

Alien Stage fans: *sobbing in fics and fan art*

To no one’s surprise, Vincent Tong continues to hold an iron grip on lego media.

what the heck are you up to...

so as far as i can tell re: house blackwood in the show, the blackwood boy who kills someone during rhaenyra's tour is samwell blackwood, who has become lord of the house by season 2. the blackwood involved in the posturing with brackens in episode 3 is called davos according to the subtitles, not benjicot. samwell blackwood is killed during the battle of the burning mill, and possibly so is davos…which DOES open up the possibility of bloody ben (samwell's son) and black aly (samwell's sister) being introduced as having to take over the blackwoods in the aftermath of the battle. we can but hope!

Willem Dafoe playing max Schrek/Count Orlok in Shadow of the Vampire and then playing the Van Helsing equivalent in the 2024 Nosferatu is such a power move

Assassin's Creed question, you're the only other person I know who's played the games (+you like Lucy) dbfhdhb

When Rebecca says she hasn't seen Lucy in 7 years, do we know that that's when Abstergo approached her, or did that time include some of her college years?

I was watching Nyx play ac1, and Lucy was talking about how Abstergo approached her when she was at the end of her PhD (which was why I initially thought she was in her early 30s). If she was 17 when she was ending her PhD, she must have had one hell of an education.

(sorry if this sends twice, I clicked off the first time >:|)

I think canonically the timeline is that William Miles decides that they’re going to put her undercover at Abstergo, so he isolates her from the Brotherhood at 17 (meaning that why that was the last time Rebecca saw her, neither of them would have been allowed to contact each other except.) Then, presumably, she has like a little while between that and Abstergo hiring her for education.

Which is like. Still an extremely short window of time for her to have gotten her PhD, then gotten hired, then be high enough to work side by side with Vidic + get manipulated by him because of the isolation from the Brotherhood into turning to the Templars.

Also presumably the timeline is so scrunched here because they 1) did not plan any of this shit ahead of time and 2) god forbid a woman in a video game be in her 30s. but now it does lead to the delightful that she was barely an adult and cut off from her entire support system and in an extremely high stress environment when she “switched sides”! and by delightful, i mean horrifying! what the fuck! william miles were there not any fucking adult assassins you could have put in this situation instead! why did you use your child soldier as bait, mr miles!!!! I’M STARTING TO SEE WHY DESMOND RAN AWAY FROM HOME, SIR!!!!!!!

well. at least it also gives us evidence that lucy is canonically Really Fucking Smart. she did not “fall” for vidic’s lies because of incompetence or stupidity (<- do NOT read old assassin’s creed reddit threads about lucy. or new ones. the misogyny is palpable.) She’s exactly as capable and intelligent as she presents herself. She was just also the victim of being groomed by her boss for years. And because the games do not care about her, we just don’t get closure on any of this. Ever! I guess!
