i really like how torchwood, a notoriously queer show, used to air on russian television.
and, because it's russia, the guys tried to no-homo their way through via cutting out kiss scenes and changing dialogue.
but you see. there is one episode where gwen walks in on jack and ianto having gay sex. and you can't exactly cut that out, i mean, there is an important dialogue after that. but the guys in charge of making it "russian-tv presentable" didn't give up. they did what they did best. they cut out the kiss part and only left a bit of gay sex. as well as half naked jack and ianto talking to gwen afterwards. this is making me lose my shit for some reason.
"And to follow up on Niko Mikkola...his sense of humour with him, like, maybe—lot of people don't talk—like, last night he was like, you know, he "woke Bobby up," or whatever. "Good thing Bob was awake—"
"He's a great personality and I've said this kinda during the year. And we've, you know, I mean we're always—...I was gonna say, "It'd be great if you guys could spend a lot of time with him," but then we spend a lot of time trying to make sure you guys don't spend too much time with our guys, so, there goes—so, forget that! But, he is an incredibly interesting guy. What's great is when he's coming to the bench... if there's something that's broken down, and I'm not sure if he's screaming in Finnish or it's in English, but it is funny as hell! And it's consistent. So, he plays really high-energy level. A lot of times these kinda big, lanky guys are... you don't really think they're moving that fast, but they are! He looks like he's getting across the ice, and, you know, he competes hard. That's what we like the most of him, but he talks at a high-energy level, too, on the bench. And that's great, right? We have some quiet players on our bench, and that's fine, that's who they are. But, those guys like Mikkola, who's got—nobody knows—Well there's four other Finnish guys knowing what he's saying, but nobody else knows what he's saying.
paul loves all his rascals and it is a joy to hear his takes on them its mikksys turn now!

also if you want to see the moment mikksy is talking about in the interviews linked above because it is genuinely bonkers 10 or so seconds of hockey: here it is
I feel like the wildest thing is like. Again, the creation of Nahida way earlier in the timeline. A proof of concept, as you would. A tiny god child and Ajax is just well. She might stay tiny for centuries or she might grow better outside of being imprisoned- and isn’t that a wild thing to just drop on someone. This tiny god of dreams
it would be absolutely buckwild but also conisder: dream divination becomes a thing
"beef" on netflix is so fucking good. i love a show about a small event that turns into something insane that nobody involved could have possibly predicted. also i like steven yeun. spoilers in tags
Bitches will be like "damn am I overexaggerating how bad the current landscape is?" And then the top posts in a character tag that's not even involved will be "this post contains filtered tags [ship]"
ive been waffling for two years on the circumstances of ilya eye loss between dragonsong and some point in stormblood (many options little brain etc), but it is like. narratively satisfying for stormblood to have to be a point of recovery already after the hell of dragonsong, all that loneliness and hope and loss you've gotta piece back together
but also now you've got no depth perception. also zenos is there.
Friend is asleep so they won't see me post anything nice abt them but, good friend + roommate keeps calling this guy I'm seeing my boy toy and it's, genuinely so funny i think it's hilarious that this guy im crazy abt keeps just getting reduced to just being my "boy toy" it's so funny
every so often i think about the fact that the aita i sent to blorbo aitas for elizabeth was more unanimously voted yta than the one that someone sent in for manfred von karma in which he admits to committing murder over something as petty as a record
