John Constantine, floating through the astral realms (like he did when Swamp Thing was borrowing his body), slips through the edges of that dreamlike world and into the Ghost Zone.

Usually, such a mistake could be fatal. Having one’s soul untethered is already dangerous enough, but at least the Astral Realm follows dream-like rules that can be bent to your advantage. The Ghost Zone, though still fluid in its own way, offers far less control to outsiders.

But luckily for Constantine, he happened to emerge right near one of the rare Zone denizens that isn’t immediately hostile. A young man with snow-white hair and glowing green eyes.

All he has to do now is try to convince the ghost kid to help without risking pissing him off and getting himself killed.

…Yeah, he still might be fucked. Though he is a skilled con man, being pleasant was never one of his strong suits.

Classic Zelda games: "So Link doesn't talk because he's meant to resemble you the player 🥰"

Echoes of Wisdom: "Link doesn't talk because his ability to speak was physically taken from him by a dark force"

(edit: since I need people to understand Link can't talk at all. It was forced out of him. It's not a choice. That part of him was consumed)

Idk who assigned the superpowers this week's session (I'm assuming it's Grian) but Jimmy getting the invisibility one was absolutely on purpose to keep him safe

it’s like the artful dodger (2023) was MADE for tumblr. thomas brodie-sangster and flowy bloody sleeves. delightfully gory victorian surgery. period romance that is way hotter than it should be. period costuming that is FOR ONCE not referred to as ‘stifling’ or ‘torture’ by the spunky lady lead (this one’s for the historical dress community). anti-authoritarian. crime shenaniganry. young upstart tempted to their old ways. banger guy-ritchie-sherlock-holmes -2009-esque soundtrack. lovely lighting direction. what more could you possibly want.

lichen video script is so funny right now its like 30% talkin about what a lichen is, where they live, what they look like on the inside and then like 70% me filming close ups of the interesting lichens i borrowed from the herbarium and pointing out lichen anatomy and things i find cool about each one like a lichen review. so hopefully that still sounds appealing to people even if it isnt a full iceberg breakdown in the traditional sense

Interesting details from the Day 6 promo:

‘WILL MEAT A GAIN’ is of course a reference to ‘We’ll Meet Again’.

(Not so sure about ‘Good Tom’s Meg’ lol…)

…

Is this a reference to ‘William’, Ford’s favourite constellation?:

Or could it also be a reference to the AMA, and how Bill would respond to every variation of his name under the sun.

…

The Saga continues…These promos do appear to be incredibly Ford-centric. I mean, on Day 6, we got The Song again, and an arrow pointing specifically at the number ‘six’…It’s both a reference to the countdown and…Sixer. (Bill Tries To Be Subtle For Once Challenge)

…

The clouds surrounding the moon also look vaguely triangular in shape.

My wild theory is that Sunrise on the Reaping will be told from the perspective of the District 1 mentor of the tribute killed by the forcefield ‘stunt’. Someone who saw all the unedited footage real time and then the editing and ‘spin’ after the fact.

Imagine killing urself cuz u hate ur job or something and then u wake up in purgatory and have to work the same demanding 9-5 job even in death with no promises of forgiveness /: i would’ve gone crazy too

[valtsv]

probably the funniest thing i ever did as a kid was try to convince anyone who'd listen to me infodump about my favorite media that my ocs were actual canon characters in the story and then if they expressed genuine interest in checking it out i'd panic and be like no you Can't and just never speak to them again

It's a time-honoured tradition- every time Sam comes across Izzy (and Ed) in their travels, he asks Izzy to marry him. And every time, Izzy turns him down.

At this point, Sam is asking more for the sake of it than any belief Izzy will ever say yes, a remnant of childhood dedication touched with 30 years of heartbreak and regret- though even now, a small part of him still holds out hope. Sam's promises have only got more extravagant over the years, from a job as his first mate, to a captaincy, a fleet at his command, a whole fucking island if that's what Izzy wants- but he knows it isn't though, not really. If Izzy was ever going to agree to marry him, to leave his life and go with Sam, it wouldn't be for anything Sam could offer him. Izzy never did care for flashy shows of wealth, for a ship or to be captain. The only thing that ever mattered to him was loyalty given, and loyalty shown in return. 

It all comes to a head after Stede left and came back, after Izzy lost a toe, lost his leg. Sam hasn't seen him since before things with Ed started to really slide off the rails, before stress permanently set into the lines of Izzy’s face. So, when he sees a dishevelled man with a hoof for a leg in a no-name port, he doesn't even consider the idea that he might know him. It's only when he turns towards him, and Sam catches a glance at those oh too familiar tattoos, he realises this is Izzy, his Izzy, that stands before him.

Knowing Izzy's discomfort with pity, he doesn't treat him any differently than he would in years gone by, positioning himself in Izzy's line of sight before approaching and sweeping him up into a bone crushing hug. 

“Israel-goddamn-Hands!” he exclaims, as Izzy grumbles back a begrudging “Samuel-fucking-Bellamy”, a tradition almost as old as their friendship itself. Izzy might not hug him back, but he can’t keep the corner of his mouth from twitching, just for a second.

(If Sam holds Izzy a little tighter and a little longer than usual, well. That's his business)

By the time Sam lets go, most of the crew has appeared in the town square, drawn in by the commotion. They may have given Izzy his leg and welcomed him as one of them, but still there’s an underlying tension, with nobody quite ready to set aside everything that happened before the Kraken. Seeing him cosying up to an unknown man sets everyone on edge, unsure whether to come to their first mate’s aid, or to assume that they've been betrayed once again.

When Ed sees that the yelling was Sam, his hand goes tense where it's held in Stede's. He knows the routine, has seen it more times than he can count, but as he watches them part he realises that this is the first time in a long time he's unsure of what Izzy's response will be.

Knowing that something’s different, knowing that Izzy's feeling vulnerable already, Sam doesn't go for the same flashy proposal he’s been giving for years. He doesn't promise Izzy the world, he doesn't cause a scene (or, any more of a scene than he already has, anyway). He looks at the fractured man in front of him, takes his face in his hands, and says the exact same thing to him he said when they were little more than boys. “Israel, I have to ask you. I know what you'll say, but I have to try. Come with me. Marry me and sail away with me. I'll keep you safe”

And Izzy… hesitates. He glances over at Ed, at Stede, and says to Sam “...We’re staying in port for a week. Ask me again then”

That's the moment Sam knows there is something deeply, horribly, wrong. He's not just looking at an Izzy who got seriously injured in a fight and is struggling to cope, this is something so much bigger than that- and that Ed has something to do with it. Izzy wouldn't even be considering leaving if he didn't. Whether it was negligence or something more sinister, Sam doesn't yet know, but he intends to find out.
