Listen, I adore Jack Huston. I am a little in love with him but also i really enjoy his acting. But this man has been cast in some shitty roles. SO if you're like me and you want to stare at his face some more, I'm here to help. I've watched a good chunk of his work at this point, so here's a list of his movies I really enjoyed:

Posthumous- If you have a soft spot for romcoms, this one is lovely. I rewatch it a lot because I find it comforting. It's a romcom, so it is cheesy and follows the usual formula, but that's how the genre is!

An Actor Prepares- Just an uncomplicated, fun watch.

The Hot Potato- Actually very funny. I think this movie is super overlooked. Silly British Spy film.

Outlander- Cheesy early 2000's scifi movie with vikings. If you like that sort of thing like I do, definitely watch it. I think this movie could have had a big fandom but missed its moment.

Bonus mention: I know Ben-Hur isn't for everyone. It didn't make the main list because there are only a few specific reasons I liked it and I don't know if they would be enough for other people to want to watch it lol. The sea battle and the chariot race are very, very cool. They're visually impressive and super exciting. If nothing else, just find clips of that. Jack Huston is very good in it! I just know the religious stuff might make some people uncomfortable.

I'm kind of excited for that lighthouse movie coming up. it sounds like something I might like. I'll have to wait til a trailer comes out to know for sure.

thinking about that one grymforge boss fight

[willosword]

the vees take up such a unique antagonistic role in hazbin. they're so silly and pathetic except in specific bursts of competence. but even those moments are overshadowed by the way they just brute force everything. vox lost his own diss track against alastor. velvette didn't even do anything with the information she gathered at the overlord meeting. the more valentino lashes out like a child the more he loses control of angel. the person they picked to infiltrate the hotel ended up becoming its very proof of concept. they sung gleefully about the power vaccuum created by alastor's absence only for alastor to reappear 30 seconds later. what are they even doing. they're like an extremely unhinged team rocket

Rising from the dead to share this painting and then disappear again

I have spent over 90 hours of my life on this thing because I have had the brain rot for the last 2 years of my life (almost 20 if you count when I first read the comics) and it had to express itself somehow

Hope this dramatic bitch feels appreciated

(A Dream of Morpheus, handmade egg tempera on panel, 12x18 inches...if by any chance you'll be at SDCC or Gen Con, I'll be at booth 934/936 at the first one and Art Show #13 at the second one - come see the original, maybe get a print, or just yell/cry about Sandman with me?)

And here, have some more details - I had fun combining some favorite elements from both the comic and the show ♡

Leverage 4x5- "The Hot Potato Job"

[acowardinmordor]

I only had Steve repeating his senior year because I wanted the kids to know Eddie already, but thinking about it? This messes Steve up so so much more. He obviously met Robin, who asked a few pointed questions that made him go oh. about his life and his identity.

He’s back for another year in high school because of post concussion symptoms. His parents are probably pissed. He’s trying to rebuild his own sense of self without defining it with popularity, but he’s stuck in the place where he was the most popular before. And is now one of those loser super seniors.

Enter Eddie, who had been on Steve’s radar as a vague awareness of maybe-attraction in previous years. And the guy is protecting his kids. Encouraging them. He’s also as close to Out as he can be in Hawkins. He knows who he is. He’s unapologetic and doesn’t let trends define him. He’s who he wants to be. Of course there’s hearteyes.

But Steve isn’t comfortable with himself enough to talk to him directly. Hence the letters.

And maybe at first he wasn’t even sure that Eddie liked getting them. Or was even reading them. Probably wrote about how he was anonymous because he didn’t think Eddie would actually like him if he knew. It’s been a theme from the start, and it was probably the first thing that Eddie talked about when he could finally write back.

Eddie totally said that anyone who wrote letters like that, who was that kind and clever and generous and funny, would always be someone Eddie liked. Loved. That it wouldn’t matter if X was ugly, that it wouldn’t even matter if X was a girl. That Eddie would still want to know them.

And that’s when you have those insults. When Steve was finally finally brave enough to be around Eddie. To come to Hellfire. Because Eddie had promised in the letters to teach X how to play, that he’d be so so patient because X told him that he probably wasn’t smart enough to play.

Eddie has to betray everything he’s said.

And it is specifically because Steve Harrington is anathema to Eddie.

Proof that who Steve wants to be, tries to be, is wanted, but who he is in real life, not on paper, isn’t good enough.

(Yes, Robin had to be hugged into submission to keep her from slashing Eddie’s tires)

But, tag writer whose user name I can’t recall, Steve didn’t write his last letter in the car. He dropped off the boys, went home, and wrote something longer at first. He tried to find a way to explain to Eddie that he’s trying. That he wants to be a better person who Eddie would be happy to discover is X. He writes it, and he doesn’t believe that it will ever happen. That he can ever be better.

Anyway, Steve totally gets Vecna’d in this AU, and Eddie is one of the focal points.

the hot potato job is underrated because what do you mean sophie mimics eliot's voice so well that eliot literally cannot speak in his natural tone??

sophie gradually deepening her voice and even sneaking in a bit of a southern accent at some points was already funny, but then eliot comes in as her accountant and is forced to just,, change his voice. because she stole it. underrated comedy GOLD

During Yule, Gideon ends up getting a lot of coal. People think it's funny because he's a fire genasi and his last name is coal. It is less funny to them when he sets it on fire and throws it at them

Battle for the cowl but none of them wants to be Batman

Jason: Dick is the oldest, he should have to be Batman. I'm too violent-

Dick: Hell no, Damian is Bruce's son, he should be Batman.

Tim: it shouldn't be me

Damian: It shouldn't be Tim

They pass the mask around like hot coals
