I canât get over the fact that Minecraft:Story Mode is abandonware now. After itâs removed from Netflix there will be no legal way to access the game anymore.
So much time, energy, and talent out into a game that simply cannot be played anymore. A whole generation of new Minecraft players growing up never even knowing this game existed. And even if you managed to get it working, youâll no longer be able to see what choices other players took. Which decisions you did that other people didnât.
And think of the performances lost? Ivorâs a delight to listen to. Lucas has one of the kindest sweetest voices ever heard. And Petraâs emotional breakdown in season 2 still gets me every time. All that emotion and effort. All that pain and heartbreak⊠just gone. Forgotten.
People scoffed at Story Mode when it was announced, but I honestly think Story Mode did an amazing amount of world building for the community. It took the ideas being created by YouTube personalities and animations and codified them into a coherent universe with set rules and functions. Items are flat. Blocks grow when placed down. Crafting is akin to alchemy. Ages do not exist. And even disappearing in a puff of smoke leaving behind your inventory is just how you die in this world.
So much work was done to make such an amazing series of games, and nobody is going to remember them. And far fewer are going to actually play through all 2 seasons and experience the joys of season 2âs emotional storyline. Itâs so sad.
I donât have a point to this. Iâm just depressed at how this game has been overlooked, shunned, ignored, and flat out tossed aside by the Minecraft community. I hate seeing hard work just cast aside so quickly like that.
The amount of polish and effort out into MCSM was way more than it likely deserved and Iâm eternally grateful that this game exists. I just want others to play and love it too.

Fun fact, Iâm terrified of mimics, like terrified. I watched a show called haunted on Netflix and the first episode of season two was about a mimic and Iâve been scared of them ever since. Ok now that thatâs out of the way, please I need more of mimic!Gaz if thatâs ok? I feel like heâd be the only one that doesnât make me wanna run far far away
I can't blame you. Mimics can be anywhere, anything, at anytime. They can take the place of someone you know in the blink of an eye, they can take the spot of your favorite pillow you swore you lost two days ago - that's what makes them so scary. THAT is what's scary, you never know what you're truly going up against
Also please note that my idea of a mimic may vary from others! Usually, I see them as something that can mimic their surroundings. Whether that be voices, people, or things to blend in
Some more about mimic! Gaz
Just because he's a monster doesn't mean he's a monster
Though he may be a mimic and may, by definition, be a monster - he's still retaining his humanity. He still has a set of morals, he still has his own aspirations, hopes, and dreams
He is, however, still very much a monster. A monster who can and does eat people. But that's not indiscriminately
Truth be told, though his kind is known for the whole 'eating people' deal, he's not a huge fan of it. He'd rather not do it because then he'll be questioning himself and where he stands
Doesn't mean he can't or won't. Being a mimic means he's effective at it, it's a great way to get rid of evidence and to take out anyone against him. He'd just rather reserve it to those occasions
He's still very much the Gaz we love! Even if his default form doesn't look close, the appearance we know him as is what he prefers. It's how he sees himself in his mind's eye after observing humanity for so many years, so it's how he presents
He feels the traits he chose represent him best after seeing them displayed on many people throughout the years and it really is how he feels. He combined them into an appearance he liked. He usually maintains and keeps himself in that form, he'll only shift back to the default state if truly injured or extremely sick. Otherwise, he's mainly looking like his normal, handsome self
(Technically, he's an 'original' being in his human form since everything about him was taken and melded into who he is from those who already existed before him who he interacted with)
The main thing you'll notice on him that may set off some alarm bells would be his canines. Those things are SHARP. But other than that and a few weird slightly not-normal habits (like seemingly not needing nearly as much rest as a healthy human should and being able to easily eat bones), he seems to be a stand up guy
He mainly takes the form of a human because humanity has interested him ever since he came into this world. Though he doesn't understand the full range of emotions, comprehending them and the world as a whole from their point of view was so incredibly fascinating
Not to mention, the human world itself is incredible too! He wanted to be apart of that, and not just in the background or hiding in the shadows
He understands why his kind aren't exactly liked and are feared, but in this day and age, it's significantly less of an issue for him since humans have mostly moved on past their fear of monsters and are so easily distracted with technology
He can mainly use his form to his advantage now, allowing him to easily blend in and out of the background as he pleases. It allows him to get into many private places (such as lecture halls) and into areas he otherwise never would consider or be able to access
He's a curious guy, he likes to learn. He still has a lot to know, even after all these years, but he isn't there to just eat people or betray your trust. He's not simple minded
He's just another being with his own thoughts, emotions, feelings, and past! He tries not to let his nature define him, even if it can distinguish him from being a human alone
You'd probably never know he's a mimic but if you're one of the few who expressed you really didn't care, you just like him for him, he'll be happy to change around you
At least it can make for great photo ops and is incredibly convenient for nearly any scenario you can think of
Seriously, be his pal, he's still just a guy! Just in a different body with a little bit of a different mindset :D
#cod modern warfare#cod#call of duty#call of duty x reader#kyle gaz garrick#gaz#kyle garrick x reader#monster au#mimic gaz#monstober#gaz x reader#gender neutral reader#cod x reader#he's such a cutie in any form#really it's not a trap i swear#mimic or not he's my boy

An exploration of themes in Netflixâs âLeave the world behindâ
1. Societies reliability on technology and the side effects of this reliability. One example of this is Ethan Hawkeâs character Clay. Clay attempts to drive back to town so he can buy a newspaper and hopefully come across someone who knows something about the blackout. Unfortunately Clay gets lost on the way to town due to the fact that his cars GPS isnât working. If he hadnât relied so heavily on technology he wouldâve known how to read a map and likely wouldâve made it to town.
2. Societies distrust in humanity. One theme that I immediately noticed is the characters distrust of other characters. Julia Robertsâ character Amanda immediately distrusts George and Ruth, while their spontaneous arrival is strange she immediately didnât trust them (the second she heard them knock on the door she didnât trust them). We as an audience also experience distrust. When we first see Kevin Baconâs character Danny we think he is odd and is likely going to be a possible villain due to this odd behavior. When Rose and Archie come across the tool shed in the middle of the woods I presume most of the films audience thought someone creepy likely resided there. This growing distrust that society holds for humanity is caused by are easy access to negative media (petty and major crimes are reported more often) and due to our growing obsession with true crime which has made us paranoid and distrustful of even the kindest of people.
3. Sometimes old is better. The teslas. If your remember just after the halfway mark of the film, Amanda and Clay decide that itâs best to leave to Scottâs house and go to Amandaâs sisters house in Jersey. On the way there they come across a pile up of Teslas and nearly get killed by oncoming teslas. This is because Teslas contain a self driving feature. This feature is purely technological which is how the hackers were able to manipulate the Teslas self driving feature in order to isolate communities.
4. Violence in the media. This is a rather small theme but remember when the flyers are thrown from the drone and Clay is absolutely terrified. Well the flyers said you know what (I donât want to get reported or banned) Archie immediately knew what these flyers said due to the fact that he saw that exact same phrase in a video game.
5. Our hatred, yet reliability on humanity. This movie has one major theme and it first appears in the beginning of the movie. Amanda reveals that one of the prime reasons why she wanted to go on vacation was because she wanted to get away from people. Ruth is consistently harsh and downright disrespectful to Clay and Amanda and everyone in the family shows an annoyance to Rose, the youngest child. Itâs obvious that 90% of the characters donât actually like people and dislike socializing yet the characters consistently attempt to rely on the news and fellow people in an attempt to figure out whatâs going on.
6. Age leads to discredit. Rose is probably one of the smartest characters in the film. She consistently takes note of small details such as the sirens and the deer, unfortunately everyone around her including her own parents consistently ignore what she has to say and discredit her intelligence as simply being the musings of a 13 year old. It is obvious that everyone (meaning Clay, Amanda, Archie, and Rose) donât have any respect for each other and because of this lack of respect they arenât a cohesive family whatsoever and they consistently get in little tiffs about the dumbest of things.
These were just some things I noticed while watching the film.

since psg lost to lens, an imagine where kylian comes back all frustrated and angry from the game and his s/o tries to relive his stress? ;)
here you go(:
kylian mbappe x reader
!WARNING! smut
toop
When the match ended with the score being 3:1 I knew Kylian would come home a bit frustrated. I was sure they were going to win and so was he. I washed the dishes left from dinner and sat on the sofa, watching netflix and waited for him to come home.
He walked in about an hour later and threw his back in the corner of our living room. He didnât even say hi. He went straight to the bedroom and I decided to go after him. âY/N i am not in the mood for some motivational speeches right now. We lost and thatâs it.â He was angrier than I expected. I didnât know what to say so I just stood there, looking at him. He walked past me and back into the living room.
I wasnât going to let his anger because of football ever effect me, but it was hard when he was mad at me for something didnât do. I walked to the closet and grabbed a towel, new underwear and his shirt. I always slept in his shirts. I went to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I turned on the water and started getting undressed. I turned the water on so it could warm up. I was left in my bra and underwear, when the door to the bathroom opened. I felt his arms on my shoulders as he turned me around to look at him. âIâm sorry ange, Iâm just mad we lost and I let my anger out on you.â
âI know Ky. Iâm trying not to take it to heart. And i hate seeing you stressed.â He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear, cupping my face and kissing me sweetly. âThereâs nothing you can do about it and it isnât your fault.â he assured me. And I knew that but I still wanted to do something so he would be less stressed. âYeah, but I can still helpâ I replied and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. He knew exactly what I had in mind when he pulled away to take his shirt off. His lips were on my again and his hands reached behind my back, unclasping my bra. He bit my lower lip and I let out a quiet moan. He started kissing my neck and his hands roamed down my back, his fingers hooking in my underwear. I lifted my hips up so he could take them off.
He stepped back and pulled his pants and boxers down. When he stepped back I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his shoulders. He picked me up and stepped in the shower. The hot water hit us and we both giggled. He kissed me again and I could feel him smiling against my lips. I unhooked my legs and slid off of him, pulling away from the kiss. He looked at me with confusion covered his expression. âYouâre stressed, let me take care of that for you.â he nodded, not sure what I meant.
I placed my hands on his chest and moved them lower to his v-line, painfully slow. His head tipped back giving me more access to his neck. I left a trail oh kisses there before moving lower. My hand found his erection, pumping slowly. His breathing hitched and I heard a low grunt. I moved down to my knees and licked a slow stripe from the base of his dick to the head. I swirled my tongue around the head. He looked down at me and we kept eye contact as i took his head in my mouth. His hand found my hair, making a make shift ponytail. He pushed my head down making me take his whole length in my mouth. I gaged a little before continuing to move my head up and down. The bathroom was filled with sounds of water dripping and Kylians quiet moans. I kept my pace until i felt him twitching in my mouth. He pulled out of my mouth and stroked himself a few times. I opened my mouth and stuck my tongue out and he came all over my face. I collected as much cum on my mouth as I could and swallowed it all.
I stood up and looked up at the shower head, washing the rest of it off. âCome on, let me wash your hair.â he smiled and kissed me softly then turned me around. I leaned my head back to give him access and he started shampooing my hair.
When we got out of the shower we went straight to bed, his arms wrapped around my waist, my back to him. I couldnât have felt more safe in that moment.

Here is the Transcript to the Questions Answered by Eric Heisserer!
Recently, we were very fortunate that Shadow and Bone showrunner Eric Heisserer agreed to answer some fan questions! Below is the transcript of the screenshots that have been previously sharedânot an entirely new interview. The transcript in this format should be much more accessible and convenient, particularly for anyone using a screen reader.
To make it easier to read through Ericâs responses, weâve nested his answers below coordinating questions.
Okay, taking these one at a time -- because some of these will have very long answers, and I may have to return at later intervals to answer them: (note: questions will be in bold)
"I'd like to know if there's a way to liberate the pre-written scripts if Netflix doesn't plan on using them" - Asked by Christian Thalmann, the creator of the Fjerdan language.
"There is a way to liberate the Crows scripts from Netflix, yes, and in fact that would be part of the buyout for another streamer when acquiring the rights to Leigh's novels. It would be a package deal."
"In my view, "The Crows" have the potential to revitalize the Grishaverse. Unlike "Shadow And Bone," this new show could rely less on elaborate visual effects and offer a fresh narrative angle. Heist-themed shows are currently in high demand, adding to its appeal. Am I mistaken in thinking that our focus should primarily be on "The Crows"? The likelihood of "Shadow And Bone" returning seems slim, but l've always believed that "The Crows" had a greater chance of success." - asked by fellow fan Joleen
The focus on the Crows is helpful in two ways -- first, those scripts are written, which lets us get a running start at production, and second, just from casual analysis of book sales, it's far more popular worldwide than other Grishaverse titles. So it will be a bigger draw for viewers.
The trap though is the cost. It's more grounded than S&B, sure, but the Ice Court is a unique location that either requires a really costly set build, or set extensions and VFX work to make it look authentic, which means nearly every shot of the heist once our crew gets there could be a VFX shot.
My guess is the budget would be on par with S2 of S&B.
"If/when the spinoff is back (finger crossed) was there anything he had planned that would completely surprised, for good reasons obviously, the audience. And we should hold our breath for that twist/turn?" - asked by fellow fan Rti
ââYes, there is a surprise or two in the Crows spinoff season, but overall it's as close to the novel as we could make it. And Leigh's novel is such an amazing story with natural cliffhangers that work as episode "out" moments, etc. I think the biggest move we made was to feature every single Crow's backstory to go with their episode. So that was fun/sad/exciting.
"What was the difficulties you mentioned about filming Season 2 in that Reddit comment? Don't want to sound negative but what went wrong?!" - asked by fellow fan Mitra
S2 kept throwing challenges at us, and it started long before we got to production. Like months earlier, when we learned the location we used for the Little Palace in S1 was closed to us due to the pandemic. So right there we lost out on a ton of S&S scenes, because it wouldn't be a match. But we also had written a compelling side arc for Ivan and Fedyor in S2, these two Grisha trapped on either side of the civil war. Each of them played a big role in the story, but Simon (Ivan) had a feature film that overlapped with our schedule and couldn't move, which meant we lost him. So Daegan worked to revise the season keeping Fedyor and leaving Ivan as most likely dead from the end of S1. He was Kirigan's right-hand man for the season. But poor Julian caught COVID just when we were to shoot out most of his scenes, and after trying to make the schedule work, we had to come to the brutal truth that there wasn't a way to keep Fedyor in the story. Our only option was to bring him in at like episode 8, which would've been too little, too late.
COVID continued to be a monster all through production, requiring us to juggle schedules and miss out on days, and it was madness for the cast, who had to pivot with almost no notice whenever someone was ill and quarantined. This isn't unique to our show of course -- it happened with everyone. It's just a challenge.
Beyond that, we had been given the go to write a special standalone story, The Demon in the Wood. This would have been released on its own around Christmas, like a BBC special but for Netflix, and would help bridge seasons 1 and 2 by showing a little of what Kirigan was doing before we see him in 52, and also provide more character context, etc. Christina Strain wrote that and did great work adapting Leigh's short story. But it never went the distance.
There was a lot more to 52 as well, scenes and side stories and little interactions that were lost due to budget or time restrictions. Again, not unique to our show, but agonizing all the same, since what you get is not what we had written, or in some cases even shot.
I'm incredibly proud of the cast and the team, and Daegan did the heaviest lifting while I was off finishing the Crows writing room. But we had a lot more thrown at us.
"How long was the sizzle reel ready to go but he had to keep it secret?" - Asked by members of the Discord Team
That sizzle reel was put together about four months before the second season dropped.
"I would love to know his perspective on the impact of streaming on storytelling. Would we have had to launch a campaign like this 10-15 years ago for a show like this? What are the main pain points when it comes to streaming models & telling unique, diverse stories?" - asked by fellow fan Acorn_Bri
Streaming is a challenge to serialized storytelling in that it looks at 'content often with a different agenda and uses metrics that can take a creative issue and exacerbate it. Like in broadcast, if viewership and thus ad revenue has slightly declined, the show will need to find a way to make their 22 or 13 episodes on a proportionally smaller budget. What is not done is reduce episode order. But if a streaming series underperforms or doesn't meet expectations, and the streamer doesn't cancel it outright, the go-to budget reduction idea is to reduce episode order for the next season.
When you just have 8 episodes and continue to deal with notes to compress, pace up, or omit for what you'd scripted for a longer season, reducing further to six or four episodes is exhausting.
This happens due to a slide in autonomy from what the showrunner position had been. What the chatter on the picket lines revealed to us is that most showrunners today don't get to see their own show's budget, and thus don't get the freedom to make budgetary decisions that could better protect the story they're telling. More and more, showrunners not at a legacy network aren't the final say or at times even involved in hiring key roles. I don't have any ideas that aren't already in a contract language, I just see how the job on this side has gotten harder and there isn't much of a way for us to make it easier for each other like we could with having writers on set or in post production, because the streaming model has made that impossible.
ïżœïżœïżœ
Once again, we would like to give a big thank you to everyone who asked their questions, and an even BIGGER thank you to Eric Heisserer for answering them!

I was rewatching the latter half of season 3 (I know, questionable life choice), and did anyone else find Tissaiaâs line about the enchantment procedure really strange?
"They make us sacrifice so much. The cost of learning magic. When I came to Aretuza, if a sorceress fell pregnant, she was kicked out. âDivided loyalties,â said the men. So, I made them take us seriously. The enchantment was never about clearer access to Chaos. It was about getting a seat at the table. And the Brotherhood, they called me bold. I was just desperate. The first of many mistakes."
Like, not only does that completely contradict what Giltine said in S1 about the inherent cost of creation and needing something sacrificed in exchange (beauty + never aging in exchange for a mageâs womb), I feel like it also diminishes the entire plotline of Yennefer being upset about her infertility. She makes peace with it on the show through Sodden and Ciri etc., which is supposed to send a message about how family and fulfillment doesnât have to come from your womb, and I feel like Tissaia suddenly saying âoh wait no, you actually can be a sorceress and get pregnant, I just wanted the men to take us seriously so I removed your ability to do soâ cheapens it somehow? I totally get her being regretful about sending pregnant students away, but to me the whole exchange felt like a cheap and shoehorned excuse to give Tissaia even more life regrets to justify the suicide or whatever. IMO if they wanted to go that route, then they shouldâve just brought up the eel pool. But no, instead they have to contradict a whole ass S1 plotline with a stupid one-liner. (Also, what she said makes no sense anyways because the enchantment still occurs at graduation, so youâd still get kicked out of Aretuza if you fell pregnant before that.) Also it's weird that Yennefer didn't even say anything after Tissaia said it??
I also kind of liked how in the witcher books, Tissaia implemented the sterilization procedure because Chaos messes up your fertility anyways and often results in seriously deformed and dangerous offspring, and she wanted to prevent that. It showed a tougher, more rational side to her character that I feel was lost a bit in S2 and S3. I feel like through show!Tissaiaâs general plotline with the Brotherhood, Netflix wanted to send this weird pseudo-feminist message about how you shouldnât try to âbe one of the menâ to be powerful, which okay fine, but why make old and wise Tissaia of all characters go through that? Â
I know this is like 1 small point on the vast list of things Netflix screwed up, but it was bothering me so I decided to make this post lol.
#tissaia de vries#the witcher season 3#the witcher netflix#twn critical#i hate it when tv shows shoehorn info like this in at the last minute like wtf#it's little things like this that make me distrust the writers and dislike the show even more than i already do#things that would have been so easy not to include and screw up but which they included and screwed up anyways#beloved s1 what did they do to your descendants

'Before his life-changing call from director Christopher Nolan, his sensational performance as the father of the atomic bomb in Oppenheimer, and the well-deserved Oscars buzz following the filmâs release, Cillian Murphy spent nearly a decade portraying working-class Brummie gangster Tommy Shelby in Steven Knightâs British crime drama, Peaky Blinders.
Inspired by the real-life gang of the same name, the six-season series followed the Shelby familyâs business dealings, relationships, unsavory acts, and pursuits of power in Birmingham, England, 1919. Thanks to compelling writing, word of mouth, a Netflix streaming slot, and standout performances from a stacked cast â especially Murphyâs â what started as a small show on BBC Two in 2013 grew into a global phenomenon.
Oppenheimerâs immense scale and widespread acclaim may have solidified Murphy as a household name, but in the years leading up to the monumental project, Peaky Blinders allowed him to meticulously refine his craft, wholly inhabit a character, and take his acting prowess to the next level. A decade after the riveting series premiered, Tommy Shelby remains one of the actorâs most indelible roles â a truth even more impressive when you learn that Murphy wasnât Knightâs first choice for the Peaky protagonist.
Thatâs right. The 47-year-old Irish actor nearly lost the role of Tommy Shelby to Jason Statham, but a text sent to Knight post-audition, which read, âRemember, Iâm an actor,â changed everything. Ahead of Peaky Blindersâ final season, Knight told Esquire he ânever forgotâ Murphyâs show of confidence. Despite the clear departure from his appearance and past roles, the actor was sure he could embody the physically imposing, virile gang leader. And he was right. âItâs a clichĂ©, but no one else could have been Tommy Shelby,â Knight admitted later in the interview. âIt would be absurd. It was as if Cillian was always waiting.â
Since Murphy first rode through the gritty Birmingham streets on horseback sporting a fresh undercut and a razor-trimmed cap pulled over his eyes, the role felt as bespoke as one of Tommyâs signature three-piece suits. On the surface, Murphy nailed the Birmingham accent, convincingly knocked back lowball glasses of whiskey, confidently handled a gun, and seductively smoked thousands of cigarettes on set. But his abilities to access and expose the deeper complexities, contradictions, and PTSD of the broken World War I veteran were particularly profound.
As the leader of the tight-knit Shelby clan, Tommy was a commanding, ambitious, fiercely intelligent force; an enigma who routinely committed despicable acts, but possessed enough potential for good that he repeatedly gained empathy from viewers â with help from Murphyâs charisma and authentically pained portrayal. Haunted by flashbacks of France and fueled by booze for a majority of the series, the Peaky Blinders leader perpetually grappled with a restless mind and stained soul, while guarding a heart capable of immense love. He was, all at once, completely unafraid of his own death and terrified of losing others. And since business was always personal, his family became his greatest strength and most sizable weakness.
A fraternal feeling and the sheer weight of familial responsibility shone strongest in scenes with Paul Andersonâs Arthur, while Tommyâs intimate relationship with Helen McCroryâs Aunt Polly â which deepened and shifted on the daily â peeled back his layers and offered glimpses of vulnerabilities. Tommyâs shell was undeniably softest with Grace (Annabelle Wallis), the woman who made a tea drinker, father, and eventual fortress out of him. Through small talk and genuinely sexy sex scenes, heart-to-hearts and heartbreak, and the brutal gut-punch of unexpected mourning, Murphy tapped into the full range of human emotions to convey and process the love and loss of Tommyâs wife. He never fully recovered from her death, but devastating breakdowns after the loss of Polly and his daughter Ruby proved he was still able to feel.
Murphy effortlessly exuded swagger, showed subtle humor in moments like the famous âno fucking fightingâ scene, and slipped into pure panic at the drop of a hat. He loudly expressed grief in palpable scenes, such as Tommyâs brush with death in the Season 2 finale â when he almost had (and lost) âfucking everythingâ â or the bone-chilling final seconds of Season 5, when he hopelessly held a gun to his head, emitting a guttural scream born from insufferable trauma and fury. But despite the grand outbursts, so much of Tommyâs emotions were expressed without words; through Murphyâs facial expressions, jaw clenches, silent spirals, and intense gazes from his deep-set ice-blue portals.
Whether Tommy was strutting through smoky streets in solitude, leading grand shootouts with adversaries like Luca Changretta (Adrien Brody), digesting Alfie Solomonsâ (Tom Hardy) verbal acrobatics, recovering from ruthless beatings, chomping on a leaf with his toddler, or battling his inner demons, Murphyâs performance was mesmerizing. Over the course of Peaky Blindersâ run, the actor brilliantly resided in the middle-ground between hero and villain, light and dark, and savior and sinner. And without fail, he flawlessly found his way back under the multi-faceted characterâs skin after substantial filming gaps and major projects like Dunkirk and A Quiet Place Part II. In the 36 hours we got to spend with him on-screen, Murphy delivered a career-great performance, crafting an incredibly lived-in character, while masterfully evolving alongside him.
A decade after Peaky Blinders first premiered, it remains a razor-sharp series that boasts Knightâs brilliant storytelling; captivating characters; stunning set design, wardrobes, and haircuts; a killer soundtrack led by Nick Cave and the Bad Seedsâ âRed Right Handâ; and a cast that was firing on all cylinders. The seriesâ legacy is as strong as the Shelby family in their prime, and when the credits roll on the dark final season â one made considerably more challenging by COVID-19 and the real-life death and mourning of McCrory â youâre reminded again that no one else could have been Tommy Shelby; that Cillian Murphy, as promised in his post-audition text, is one hell of an actor.'

The Divine Comedy and Code Geass
Did you know that Lelouch is reading Dante's poem The Divine Comedy in the first episode of Season 2?
Lelouch is actually reading the Purgatory passage when we get a brief glimpse of the page he had open.
Considering that the poem is an allegory of the soul's ascent to God (at the beginning of the poem, Dante says that he's lost in the dark forest and is unable to find the right path; that is, he leads a life of sin and finds no salvation), I think the book works here as a foreshadowing of what we'll see at the end of the season. Lelouch is not free of many, many sins either, however, he will be able to atone for his sinful soul with the Zero Requiem.
Purgatory, in fact, is "a transitory state of soul purification and atonement in which, after death, people who have died in a state of grace suffer the temporal punishment still owed to forgiven sins and, perhaps, atone for their unforgiven venial sins in order to access the beatific vision of God" (according to our friend Wikipedia). So, if Dante's heaven and hell exist in the Code Geass universe, Lelouch went there after he died.
By the way, enough of the joke "The Divine Comedy is not funny." What is not funny is this silly joke that is too worn out. Words change meaning over time and this is the case of "comedy" which in the past was the term used to designate works with a happy ending (and a happy ending is what Okouchi and Taniguchi consider Code Geass to have). That's why The Divine Comedy was originally titled "Comedy" and it was the Italian poet Giovanni Boccacchio (the guy who wrote The Decameron, a collection of poems that had a Netflix adaptation this year) who added the adjective "Divine" to it. Here's that good fact for you.
Additionally, when the Ragnarök Connection begins in episode 21 of R2, we see for a split second these words that in English translate as "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." This is the scary (and famous) inscription that appears at the entrance to the hell passage in the Divine Comedy. In case it's not clear to you why the Ragnarök Connection is a shitty plan and is bad for humanity, I did an analysis of it here.
Also, In the first season, Lelouch is reading Hamlet and there are many parallels between Shakespeare's tragedy and Taniguchi and Okouchi's work. I pointed them out here:

Judy Heumann passed away on March 3rd, 2023
She said she believed it was her parentsâ experience [fleeing from Nazi Germany and the Holocaust as children] that led them to reject doctorsâ advice to have their daughter institutionalized after she contracted polio and lost the use of her legs. âThey came from a country where families got separated, some children sent away, others taken from their families by the authorities and never returned â all part of a campaign of systematic dehumanization and murder,â she wrote in her memoir, âBeing Heumann.â âTheir daughter, disabled or not, wasnât going anywhere.â
If you have Netflix, Heumann is in Crip Camp, an amazing documentary on disability rights.
Here is her website that lists her publications, including her recent 2020 memoir called "Being Heumann" (please do not pirate her publications out of respect. Buy them or find them at a library).
This woman is one of the main reasons why disabled children in the US can attend public school. She fought for accessibility in Federal buildings and work places before fighting for the ADA, for accessibility in all spaces.
I am heartbroken to hear of her passing. She has impacted the lives of millions if not billions of people for the better. May her memory be a blessing.

neck kisses neck kisses neck kisses for stevetony (ily)
neck kisses neck kisses neck kisses for proseandpeonies (ily2)
This one's a slightly shorter installment, but! It also bumps the rating up to a soft M, so I think it's a fair trade-off?
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
~
Thereâs a movie playing on the TVâor possibly a documentary at this point, Steve doesnât know how long itâs been since they collapsed onto the couch. They had been on their way on the door for a date at one of the most unlikely places in town for anyone to see and recognize themâa picnic in the parkâwhen it had started raining. And, frankly, both of them would have been willing to put up with a little rain (fewer people to see them, after all), but the lightning had sent them scurrying back inside.
Steve had set up a fire in the fireplace instead, fending off the February chill, and put the picnic blanket on the floor in front of it, and theyâd had their picnic there, feeding each other strawberries and meats and cheeses.
Tony had taken him by the hand afterwards and led him down the three steps into the sunken couch in the middle of the living room, and thatâs where theyâve been ever since, the rain on the roof providing a staccato beat to the atmosphere. They had put a movie on but that hadnât lasted more than a few minutes before Tony had swung a leg over Steveâs lap and kissed him.
Steveâs kisses are against his throat now, Tonyâs hands in his hair, his head tilted to one side to give him access. He runs his nose up the line of Tonyâs neck to his ear, placing a gentle kiss just below it before he sucks the lobe into his mouth. Tony moans and rolls his hips against him.
Theyâve both lost their shirts, tossed somewhere behind them where theyâll probably trip on them later, but that sounds like a problem for the future. Tonyâs back is hot against his hand, heated from the fire and what theyâve been doing. The sound from the TV abruptly cuts offâSteve lifts his head to investigate, ignoring Tonyâs murmured complaint, and finds that Netflix has gotten impatient with them and given up.
âI can turn it back on,â he offers, voice hushed in the sudden silence.
Tony shakes his head. âItâs fine,â he says and pull Steveâs mouth back to his throat. âKiss me again.â
And that is an order that Steve can gladly get behind. He nibbles on the juncture between Tonyâs neck and his shoulder, the place that always makes him gasp like heâs desperate for air, and then, when Tony does indeed gasp, he sucks a dark bruise into it. It satisfies the snarling alpha in him, the one that wants to put sharp teeth to Tonyâs bonding gland and bite, that isnât satisfied with licking and sucking it until itâs swollen and Tonyâs eyes are glazed with pleasure. Heâs putting his mark on him, thatâs enough. Thatâs more than enough, more than he ever thought he could have with Tony, andâ
âI love you,â Tony gasps, rutting his hips against Steveâs stomach.
Steve stills, the words thrumming through his mind. âWhat?â he croaks.
Tony freezes too, pulling back to look at him with wide eyes. Steve is reminded of deer in the headlights. âUh, yeah? I love you?â he says, but he doesnât sound as sure about it anymore. âI was gonna tell you during our picnic but thenââ He gestures at the floor-to-ceiling windows and the rain lashing against them. âAnd then, I donât know, I just forgot? You and the strawberries, just kind of⊠blurp! Fled my mind. It feels kind of weird now that Iâve said it. Was it weird to hear? Maybe it was too soon? It was probably too soon, weâve only been dating for six months.â
Oh, Tony is panicking panicking about this. Steve shakes his head fondly, rolls him underneath him, and kisses him quiet. It takes a while though. Tony keeps trying to talk every time Steve pulls away, trying to justify what heâd said without giving him a second to talk. So Steve just keeps kissing him, swallowing every self-deprecating comment he tries to make.
Eventually, Tony is lying quiet and sweet and dazed underneath him, and Steve can finally say, âIf youâd be quiet long enough, Iâd tell you I love you too.â
âSee, thatâs what I thought youâd say,â Tony says immediately, and Steve just waits because he knows that eventually the words will filter through to Tonyâs brain. âIt was too soon, youâre absolutely right, andâwait. What?â
âI love you too,â he repeats patiently.
âYou do?â
âOh. Huh.â Tony sits for a moment with that. âSo, if you love me⊠you wanna see if you can make me come just by sucking on my neck?â
Steve laughs so hard, he falls off the couch.
âHey! Steve! It wasnât that funny! You get back up here, mister, and finish what you started!â

The Kiss of the Muse: Young Royals. A meta.
Alright. So I was rewatching young royals (stream young royals lets make season 3 happen) and I noticed at the end of episode one, Wille is doing his homework! (Good for him!) And his book is open on this page:
Oh, what an interesting painting, I thought. And then I thought, itâs Young Royals; nothing is by accident. So I went searching for this painting, and I found it. Itâs by CĂ©zanne, and itâs called The Kiss of the Muse.
The wonderfully informative cezannepaintings.com had this to say:
The Kiss of the Poet shows a poet who is experiencing difficulty in his writing process. Although the scene doesn't include a writing implement, a piece of paper is resting on the desk. It appears as if the poet was in the middle of creating a poem and got stuck. Exasperation is written all over his face. His entire form screams of a man tired of what he is doing. Dream of a Poet is an apt alternate title for the painting because it describes this scene perfectly. The poet and his eyes closed so the muse on his shoulders could be part of a dream.
Pretty sure they meant Kiss of the Muse at the beginning (whatever, errors happen) but one of the things I want to point out is that the ALTERNATE title for this painting is Dream of a Poet. In this essay I will -
talk about how both titles are symbolic for Wille and Simon, and how they are both the poet and the muse in this painting.
Disclaimer: I donât have a degree in art history. I donât know anything. Feel free to disagree with me entirely. Enjoy!
Simon as the Poet; Kiss of the Muse.
Immediately before this scene in Willeâs bedroom takes place is the first time Simon sets a boundary before Wilhelm. Iâve been thinking about you all break, he said, but itâs nice to have some space. You can see in that interaction how exhausted Simon is, how heâs entirely fed up with Wille not being able to understand where heâs coming from.
(Apologies for my godawful Netflix screenshots.)
While Simon might be faced away from his muse, clearly sick of this mental block, Wille is always behind him, always with him. The poetâs muse inspires him to write, just as Wille inspires Simon to write the new Hillerska song. But at this point, Simon has not yet begun; the artist in the painting notably does not have a pen or quill.
It speaks as well I think to Willeâs constant presence in Simonâs life. The poet has given up on his poem. Heâs sick of throwing himself at the wall and never being able to get through. And Simon constantly tries to take back his agency; through Marcus, through the Hillerska song, through the boundaries he sets with Wilhelm. But itâs never enough. Wille is constantly with him. The muse stands behind the poet; he cannot see her, but he can feel her presence. Dream of a Poet (the alternate title) implies that he wishes she was there, that he yearns for her constantly and the creative impulses she brings, but he cannot access them.
I feel ascribing the poet to Simon is a fairly obvious comparison; two creators, both feeling stuck and art-blocked. Simon as poet and Wille as muse represents Simonâs artistic and emotional journey through the season; he tries to look the other way, but Wille is always drawing him in, constantly with him.
And oh, the kiss. Simon cannot sing his song without Wille there. The muse is vital for the art.
In episode 4, when Simon realizes Wille has left the ball, he goes in search of him. Wille, the song is about you. He needed Wille to be there, to hear him sing those words because without him there the full impact of the premier is lost. What would happen if the muse left the poet? The kiss must happen. Wille must be present for the song.
Simon goes searching for him because he knows this. If Wille is not present to hear it, the point of Simon writing it is lost. He may not have known it until Wille threatened to leave, but he knows it when he goes after him. He seeks the kiss of the muse. Once he receives it, he is free to make his art again.
Wille as the poet; Dream of the Poet.
Speaking of that kiss. Iâm sure weâre all aware at this point that the music that plays during this kiss plays during Willeâs dream at the very beginning of the season. Heâs dreamed of this moment for so long, this kiss, and to finally receive it is such ecstasy heâs speechless.
(Look at that queer fucking joy. My god. I nearly cried.)
But I digress. We must return to the point at which he flips the book to the painting. Then we return to Wilhelmâs dream.
So, where is Wille coming from at the moment this painting appears? He is certainly under extreme duress. I would compare him to CĂ©zanne at this moment:
Here, the defeated demeanour of the poet could represent how CĂ©zanne faired during his early days as an artist. It looks as if he has lost hope until a muse bestows inspiration. It took a while for the French painter to gain recognition for his talent and maybe a muse of inspiration had something to do with it.
So CĂ©zanne, like Wille, like the poet, was stuck in a cycle where he was doing his best, trying his hardest at something, and still nothing came of it. Wille is terrified of being crown prince â it affects him so physically he vomits simply at the thought of speaking in front of others. He is fighting as hard as he can but the forces surrounding him are far too big for him to ever prevail against them.
Time and time again, he tries to reason. He tries to threaten. He begs. And always, nothing real comes from it. He gets to stay at Hillerska, he gets his bodyguards moved. He still has to make the speech. Still Crown Prince. Still forced into a role he doesnât want. With Wille as the poet, the block is less creative and more literal. He wants to be able to do what he wants, to be who he is, but heâs not allowed to be. And heâs allowing this to happen to himself. He begins to mold himself into the shape of the Crown Prince.
But for the dream. The dream of a kiss of inspiration. The one thing driving Wille up until this point (at the ball) is this dream that he can, somehow, win Simon over. His whole motivation is to get Simon back â the means may be questionable at times, but itâs undeniable that Simon IS the force behind Willeâs actions. His muse.
Similarly to Simon, itâs not always necessarily a good thing. In the end, Simon inspires Wille to come out on his terms, but up until the ball, where Wille first tries to let go, what he inspires is a relatively selfish feeling in Wille, the I want of winning Simon back. Likewise, Wille as Simonâs muse almost hangs over his shoulder in every interaction, causing guilt and anger and helplessness. Itâs the kiss that changes everything.
Wille dreams of being free. Simon is stuck behind an emotional block. The kiss of these two poetsâ respective muses represents the freeing of both of their blocks. Willeâs dream becomes a reality; Simon is able to perform his song. Moving forward, as inspirations for the other they become better versions of themselves as they push away the mental, physical, emotional, and creative blocks that kept them away from each other.
Paul CĂ©zanneâs The Kiss of the Muse, also entitled Dream of the Poet is representative of both Wille and Simon in both roles of the painting, as muse and poet. Both act as inspirations to help the other overcome some kind of block, and one quick flip to a page showing this painting in Willeâs textbook acts as foreshadowing for the entire rest of the season.

âAND THEY WERE ROOMMATESâ WENCLAIR MASTERLIST
an incomplete list of sapphic-coded moments, themes, and, subtext relating to Wednesday and Enid in the Netflix TV show WEDNESDAY in chronological order.
OR a list of why this show is gay AF and why Wenclair would be a great canon ship.
Please note that there is a lot of different kinds of ways to interpret events in this show. This interpretation is from a mid to late 20âČs lesbian cis woman. A lot of nuances that I touch on may not make sense to non-lesbians and straight people  but please donât dismiss them immediately.
*Will eventually have a post for each episode.*Â
[EP 1]Â Â [EP 2]Â Â [EP 3]Â Â [EP 4]Â Â [EP 5]Â Â [EP 6]Â Â [EP 7]Â Â [EP 8]Â Â
Wednesdayâs Child is Full of Woe: EP 1.
The Lesbian Sweater
Enid is wearing a sweater that looks exactly like the sunset lesbian flag. There is no way that the costume department did not know what they were doing. *Edited to add that Bobby Soutar, one of the co-designers is a gay man. This further shows that the sweater lesbian colors were intentional.
Rejecting Traditional Family Structure
Wednesday is shown to actively reject the heteronormative expectations to become a housewife and have a family. Even though the Addams Family is creepy and  kooky, Mysterious and spooky,and all together ooky, they still have the traditional family structure. Mother & Father,  and children.
The act of this rejection sets Wednesdays desires up to not be like her parents. This can be interpreted many different ways. Due to heterosexual representation being the standard depiction, a lot of lesbians and sapphic women grew up rejecting the traditional family structure. When compulsory heterosexuality is experienced, that can also manifest as the desire to not want to love or not thinking they could experience love.
Body Language Attraction: Leaning In.Â
This is an extremely common display of attraction. Itâs extra important to note that Wednesday is ALSO leaning towards Enid. This scene is immediately after they meet for the first time.
Body Language Attraction: Physical Proximity.
This one is similar to the one above but I would like to touch more on this.
Physical Proximity between Enid and Wednesday is constant throughout the show. The reason why it is sapphic-coded and not just female friendship is the fact that Wednesday is well, Wednesday. As a general rule, she desires solitude over companionship, and does not do physical displays of affection or emotions. Other friendships depicted between her and others do not have the same level of closeness. Wednesday even physically flinches away from even her mother air-stroking her arm.
Dismissing Love Interests
In later episodes Enid is shown to be infatuated with Ajax, yet in episode 1 she dismisses him without hesitation and doesnât really show an interest in him. It doesnât fit with how she acts with him the rest of the season. As the show progresses, Wednesday and Enid become closer - It is not entirely impossible to reason that Enid is panicking over possible attractions and feelings for her roommate and to counter this throws her interest into a non-threatening and non-masculine guy. This is a common experience for people dealing with comphet.
Iâd also like to add in that throughout the series, Wednesday constantly rejects the advances of men in her life.
Wednesday âSocial Media is awfulâ Addams finding a way to read/watch Enidâs vlog.
Letâs just appreciate the fact that as soon as she could, she went out of her way to access Enidâs vlog the same day they met.
Enidâs reactions to the Fencing Challenge.
I think itâs important to note the facial expression on her face wincing after the 2nd round, and looking disappointed when Wednesday lost the 3rd round.
 Wednesday Opening Up to Enid/Enid being a safe person for Wednesday to trust.
The WHOLE balcony scene. Wednesday actively shows interest in Enid and questions her after noticing sheâs self-concious. She continues engaging in the conversation. And then when Enid explicitly states that she is upset, Wednesday shares an event that shaped her life and who she is. This is âEmotion equals weaknessâ Wednesday sharing a painful memory to someone she barely knew.
Iâd like to also point out that Wednesday is very Neurodivergent coded and one of the ways Neurodivergent people show empathy and that they care and are listening and understanding others, is to share relatable experiences. Â
WEDNESDAY WAS BEING EMPATHETIC TOWARDS A GIRL SHE HAD JUST MET AND LET HERSELF BE VULNERABLE.
And Nevermores queen of gossip vlogger assures Wednesday that she wonât misplace the trust and vulnerability Wednesday shared with her.Â
Bonus GIF included of a less than enthusiastic response from Enid getting her single room back.
Distrust of Tyler/Respect of Wednesdayâs autonomy.
Enid questions Wednesdayâs trust in Tyler but unlike other characters, accepts Wednesdayâs answer without trying to fight back. She takes her at her word and respects her decisions.
Respectful of Boundaries
The great thing about how Enid treats Wednesday is that she constantly pushes Wednesday to get out of her comfort zones while also respecting the boundaries Wednesday puts into place. She acknowledges them and doesnât get upset. And she doesnât just give up either - She tries again knowing full well she may get that hug rejected. This is the second time in this episode that she attempts to go for a hug and allows Wednesday the room to say no, and respects the decision.
BONUS LIL SUBTEXT
Xavier knows, he just does. And so does the actor Percy âIf sheâs gonna be romantic with anybody, itâs got to be with Enid.â Hynes White.
Thanks for reading, let me know if thereâs anything I missed!

iâm so excited for part two, iâm skipping all the way to end to see masali like idc about anything else! and i have no doubt in my mind that sheâs sophie, you can tell her and luke are a perfect chemistry match without even seeing them together like i need this fandom to be frâŠ. also i expect her role announcement and a season 4 benedict season announcement by 9AM EST from netflix!
Quite frankly itâs because of how disgustingly anti-Black these âleakersâ have been that is keeping me from believing them. The ring leaders behind this have either outright said they donât want Sophie to be Black or have weaponized homophobia and in some cases racism(which is ironic given these people are racist pieces of shit) to silence Black women when we call them out for them ignoring the obvious signs that they have cast a Black woman in the role of Sophie Beckett(and that woman is likely Masali) and how problematic it would be to cast a dark skinned Black woman in a masculine role.
And yes, I do have screenshots in case anybody thinks Iâm fucking exaggerating:
Lets start with anyyyyb. Sheâs deleted her account, but this is the one with the Irish journalist âsourceâ(lie because no journalist had access to those episodes on May 16th when she posted her âspoilersâ). Despite that though she claimed that Michaela was Johnâs sister(lie cause John is a confirmed only child) and that she didnât know who Masali is. Which was another lie because she wrote this under my mutals post almost a month before part 1 even aired:
Iâm pretty sure that she was Cass the morons âsourceâ because anyyyyb was the first of the new âleakersâ who mentioned the sister thing and Cass self-admitted to not knowing if her source is credible or not:
This same woman dared to get pissy when she was called out for blatantly lying(sister thing) and spreading shit that hasnât and will never be confirmed which caused Masali to be unnecessarily attacked:
Cass has independently been trying to push the Michaela âtheoryâ(which is a name made up by the fandom) for a while now because her dumb ass thinks all Black people look alike:
Mind you the woman in the carriage is a crew member(Shanika Ocean) who doesnât even have the same skin tone as Masali(sheâs lighter), Masali also has never been seen on set, but Cass the moron thinks they are the same woman because they are both Black.
And if thatâs not enough for you she also wrote this when people were calling her ignorant behind out to try and save face:
The other Tumblr account that claims to have a Netflix employee camped in their inbox willing to feed them info and risk losing their job in todayâs economy to do so, is a racist and a colorist who has been against Sophie Beckett being Black since September at the least. She tried to play it cool, but the day part 1 came out she started spazzing the fuck out when people didnât automatically believe her lies I mean leaks, and said this:
She like anyyyyb has been pushing for an Asian woman to play Sophie which is okay, but when you start saying there are âtoo many Black peopleâ on a show produced by a Black woman, that she needs to stop casting Black people, and that is why Sophie âcanât be Blackâ you have lost your fucking mind.
Bitch doesn't think its okay for a Black woman to play Cinderella who gets her prince in the end, but she's a okay with a Black woman playing a role meant for a man where shell have to chase after a while woman and will not be afforded the fairytale happy ending every other woman. Sure Jan, you definitely care about Black women đđœ
Again, if that wasn't enough, sheâs a fucking colorist because in her racist mind, Indians aren't Asian đ€·đœââïž
Her ass has also tried to use a variation of all Black people look alike just like Cass the fucking Moron to connect Masali to Victor Ali ever since she learned who Masali was back in December/January.
(If she hasnât deleted it yet like the goofy ass remedial bitch she is it should still be up on her little hate blog).
I could say way more about this one and leak her twitter and her other tumblr(which I know sheâll try to crawl back to once sheâs fucking called out for what she is), and there are also the twitter people who Iâm sure are feeding âintelâ to Cass and both tumblr accounts meanwhile their alleged âsourceâ hasnât seen all the episodes, but Iâll it there for now.
All Iâll say is that these ârumorsâ are being fueled by butthurt anti-Black racists who have never wanted Masali to be Sophie and the fandom is so gung-ho about believing these cave dwellers because they too are racist pieces of shit.
Why they are watching a Shonda Rhimes production and begging her to stop casting Black people, her own people, in lead roles I will never knowâŠ.
Because Iâm not a fucking butterface racist ass bitch who has nothing better to do with my life than to try and tear another race down and dictate what they do just to feel better about my pathetic existence.
The fact of the matter is no one has posted shit other than anonymous messages or claiming they know someone or they know someone who knows someone. The fact that these people canât post a still or audio recording yet they all supposedly have evidence and have seen shitâŠ
#bnask#bnasks#bridgerton fandom misogynoir#if this is incoherent itâs because I started writing this at 2 AM and donât really give a damn anymore#Iâm excited for this all to be over cause Iâm exhausted#I got carried away and yes I canât wait until masali is announced as Sophie Beckett

Hello Carmen Fans! I come to you with a plea for help. A while ago, a user in the tag posted about being able to watch the Carmen Pilot on TV and seeing deleted scenes that were not in the original Netflix version. The scenes they described aligned very closely with some of the ones in the Pilot's Novelization-- most notably the fight Carmen has with Sheena where she gets the idea for her codename, and the scene where Grey says goodbye to Carmen after graduating.
I was able to message this user about where specifically they saw this airing, and they said they were able to watch it on the Canadian channel Family TV, which is owned by none other than our friends at Wildbrain, the animation studio for Carmen! Stoked at this knowledge, I was then able to find the broadcast schedule for Carmen on this network:
Now, unfortunately it appears that they have only been broadcasting the pilot and no other eps for now, however, they are consistently airing them and doing so again this week! Unfortunately, I don't have any access to this channel and the original person that discovered this was never able to record them, but I'm sure there are people out there that can! So here's my quest for y'all: If you get Family TV at home, see if you can't catch these broadcasts, and if you see the extra scenes, record them on your phone!
Of course, I could also be 100% wrong here and the episodes they're airing could be totally normal-- it could have been a one-time thing that very few people saw. But even if it's a small chance, I think everyone would be interested in a find like this. I'm honestly dying to know if there's potentially more Carmen out there, and if there is, I'd hate for any of it to become lost media.
I'm tagging @csweekly here because I think a lot of Carmen fans are active again because of them, plus the episode this week is Part II of the pilot, after all!
