it really makes me so emotional that fig went to record a song to find herself again, because she realised she lost herself because she stopped making art, and she wrote dawn of justice, a song so amazing that its performance literally gave fig a domain. she literally got ownership of ankarna's old domain so that no one else could fuck with it. she thinks she isn't an artist, that she shouldn't be a bard, but she is, her art changes the world, her art gives her power

In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

I think the thing that sticks out to me quite a bit about the Ricciardo/VCARB thing is that the team and the people high up in VCARB (Laurent Mekies and Peter Bayer) are seemingly not in the loop.

Sidenote: I think mid season driver swaps are shit all around, they’re unfair on everyone.

But I do think it’s odd and bad that the people running the team seemingly have very little say in what goes on in it and it seems that a lot of the choices and decisions are made by Red Bull themselves.

Job's son (Ty Tennant) shamelessly flirting at Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) in front of his dad (David Tennant) while also being the most annoying little git is everything to me

I had some mixed feelings about the ending but you wrote most of the things I loved. I was surprised and amused by Agatha being the most toxic one in the relationship. I spent so much time expecting Rio to be the manipulative bad guy and instead Agatha was the worse one imo if not for what Kathryn said in all those interviews I’m not even sure if I’d believe she ever truly loved Rio

Hi Anon! Mixed feelings are totally understandable because while we did get some great stuff we also got disappointments and weird developments and unanswered questions and missed opportunities.

I mean, I feel kinda vindicated like I've always held Rio to be a truth-teller. Partly because I'm autistic and Rio is so autistic coded.

And it gels with the character: she's the Lawful to Agatha's Chaotic. Rio may not volunteer information but I don't recall her ever lying. She's only been truthful with Agatha in terms of what she intends to do.

And yes, in terms of storytelling -- assuming the show wants us to ship these two -- it is now on Agatha to square how she feels about Rio.

Because the finale showed us how much Rio seriously cares and is pained by the relationship, and gives us a prime example of how she has given "special treatment" to Agatha with Nicky.

Because the final turn of Agatha being a ghost implies she's betraying Rio again, at least emotionally given how Rio seriously took her death.

We also didn't get flashbacks of them doing their whole "work and play" thing together. Like yeah we saw Agatha killing people, but where's the character of Rio and how does Agatha look to her?

It honestly feels like the finale basically did more set up for this ship than anything else, by fleshing out Rio as a character (which was needed) and showing a couple of moments of their history together, but there's so so much more we could get into – past and present.

up way past my bedtime, but the people were right about supersonic 2016. a magical magical movie... escalating haze of three spectacular years, never to be recreated again. the precognition and just knowing what's going to happen while stuck in history. everything happens for a reason and destiny is real; somebody hammered the music into him & my old fella beat the talent into me. incredible songs that just come out from seemingly nowhere, some mystical place in the right time in the right place. mythical and biblical and intense. and cathartic, there was something special and beautiful about the stage back then.

my friend invited me to go with them to a show tonight

and the thing is it was not good. it was a cabaret with some amazing circus acts but each of them got like. 5-10 minute slots. and were interspersed with 20+ minutes EVERY TIME of some of the most tedious standup work I have ever seen from the MC and the same 5 physical comedy bits repeated ad nauseum. this guy literally did a Borat bit. in the year of our lord 2024. he sang 2 entire rounds of the Family Guy theme.

and it just KEPT GOING. it was meant to be a 90 minute show, which imo is already a slog for a show starting at 11:30PM but within the bounds of reasonable. it finished. at fucking 1:50 AM. ALMOST TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF THIS SHIT. and it did not help that the 5 bits were all of the 'OH NO SOMETHING HAS DISRUPTED THE SHOW' variety which is funny for a bit, less funny when you're literally 45 minutes past the end of your scheduled finish and still fucking going.

HOWEVER. what I did not realise was that this was in fact. my friend's favourite comedian. and if I had known this I might not have gathered up my stuff and walked out during the curtain call and probably would not have announced on the way out, 'that was the most tedious fucking thing I have ever endured.' and I almost certainly, when someone overheard me complaining about the length and tedium and said 'yeah it ran a bit long huh,' have replied, at the actual near-shouting top of my voice, "I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF."

I feel. bad for spoiling the show for them.

in my defence I have been very tired this week, I got home at 2:30 AM, and raked seating really hurts my hips so I was in agony by the end of the first hour. but mostly I'm just a bitch who loves to hate tbh.

Forgive me if I'm a bit nervous about Gorgug this season. It's just that the last Zac Oyama pc was Colin Provolone, who was arguably one of his greatest D20 performances, if not the greatest.

Zac always does great with every pc he plays, but Colin was something else. He came out swinging with actions and words that were teeming with unspoken emotional baggage. The way Colin's presence affected the other pcs; there was this level of depth that I don't think I've seen in any of his other characters. It was understated and quiet in that signature "just a guy" way that he tends to be, while still captivating everyone instantly with just how raw it was.

Not to say we haven't seen emotional depth in Gorgug. It's just that, compared to the other Bad Kids, Gorgug's journey and progression as a character has been very... impersonal? Like, yes, he found his birth parents, and he found friends who appreciate him, and he faced his insecurities about his intelligence, and he navigated relationship troubles, and his trial through the claustrophobic bug-tunnels was a horrifically-uncanny parallel to how he's spent his entire life trying to make himself as small as possible.

But how much of that has actually changed him from the Gorgug we started with? I would agree that he's definitely happier with his life, given all the loving and supportive people that have been added to it when it used to be just him and his parents. And he's certainly grown into himself and become more self-assured in his abilities, even if he's still, and always will be, our anxious little guy. And there's nothing wrong with that. I've always liked how Gorgug was a representation of all the little things. The subtle acts and kindnesses that don't seem like much to most, but to some are everything.

We don't need another Bad Kid living in fear that their mouth could be shit-in at any moment. We've already got one-too-many.

All that being said, I just feel like Gorgug's personal story beats are much easier to sweep under the rug than everyone else's. He has the same soft and understated quality that Colin held, but they lack that extra oomph that pushed Colin over the edge from being just another guy in a series of dudes, to a character that the vast majority of us could not get out of our heads. He took someone who was anxious and softspoken, who ultimately never wanted to be violent— someone who is remarkably similar to Gorgug in many ways— and maintained that demeanor and core in Colin's character while still hitting us in the feels with character development at max velocity at every turn.

I think Zac gets better and better at this with every season that goes by. With each new character, there is always something that leaves me stunned in awe. And it's been, what, three? Four years since we last saw Gorgug?

I'm just,,, I'm cautiously optimistic but also going into a bit of a worry about what violence this man may inflict upon us

I feel like everyone in rottmnt is dramatic enough to enjoy Musicals but Leo and Donnie in every iterations are the real musical buffs who watch everything and anything together.

Like sure April and Mikey will join them for Heather's and Raph loves Hamilton, but Leo and Donnie watch Cats and Wild Party religiously and sing all the parts together. The only other person in the house who likes Musicals the same as they do is their dad which makes it 'cringe' to them when he sings Chicago along with April is a firm believer he should stay singing Les Mis and away from their musical nights. (Randall has scarred them)

Enter Casey Jones Jr. Future boy who has only grown up hearing Leo and April singing songs to him from various shows that he knows the basic plot to.

So of course Leo and Donnie take it upon themselves to help this poor sweet summer child catch up in his rightful musical education.

i saw an article the other day that had the headline along the lines of 'baldur's gate 3 fans are sad to hear that you there is no lord gortash romance plot' and i'm usually a very open-minded person but... maybe i will second guess the bg3 fans in question...

i was geniunely scared of him when i first had a conversation with him in act 3... he's a creepy, slimey, horrible, disgusting man and yes i know he's fictional but his whole presence just made me nervous, sick even. i can't see why anyone would like him let alone want to romance him...

he's a fantastic villain yes. his actor (idk who he is sorry - please tell me!!) did a wonderful performance, the way that he's written and the story-telling is insanely good but it's because of that excellent performance from the devs, the actor and writers that it just feels too real...

of course, if you're doing an evil playthrough then it makes sense to be nice to him and whatnot but do you really have to romance him too? :/ there was a reason why the game didn't come out with a gortash romance and there's a reason why the devs still aren't putting one in, maybe think about the reasons behind that other than "but he's hot" or something??

you know that clip from fantastic mr fox, the

"i think i have this thing where i need everybody to think im the greatest, the quote-unquote 'fantastic mr fox,' and if they arent completely knocked out and dazzled and kind of intimidated by me, then i don't feel good about myself."

thats how i feel, if you care.

Simone Biles women's individual all-around gymnastic gold medal performance!!! 🏅 She was in total control, executing every movement with precision and grace. She knew she was gonna win. You could see it in her eyes and that radiant smile. Simone is not only the most decorated gymnast with the most Olympic medals, at the age of 27, she's also the oldest athlete to have ever won this title!! And she's still going strong!! She's so exciting to watch. She's a delight!! She jumps so high and spins so fast, all the time making it look very easy. She's the best and she proved it!! I love how she encourages and cheers on her teammates and competition!! She's a class act and a great person besides being one of the greatest athletes to have ever competed in any sport. Congratulations, Simone!! Great job.
