listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

I don't know much about the comics, but I have heard that Wanda and Ghost Agatha walk the road together and Agatha gets her physical form back, so even though things are a little different in this universe, I really think something like that would be a perfect tv series. Marvel, if you're listening.

katie’s neverending ocs 🦇   ↳ princess therese "tess" of maldonia (✗)

It did not surprise anyone who knew her that Therese has had her entire life planned out since she was four years old. It did not surprise them that she has since stuck to that plan, either - going to Auradon Prep, preparing to graduate top of her class, and gearing up to take over her mother's restaurant. Therese has always been this way. Smart. Meticulous. Ambitious. Maybe it's those qualities that the prince liked in her. Maybe that's the reason he let her plan his life, too. Since the day they met, it's always been the two of them - Ben and Therese. Or, because his clumsy four-year-old mouth couldn't quite get around those letters, Ben and Tess. Ben the heart, Tess the brains - they balance each other out. And, more or less, they both followed Tess's plan. Sure, there were a few kinks along the way - Ben dating Audrey was kind of a curveball, and adding Princess Adaline to the group was a welcome change, but the plan was still in action. That was what was important. It's honestly impressive that they made it nearly 12 years without any major incidents. But if Cinderella taught them anything, it's that the other shoe always drops. And drop it does. Because, as if it's his mission in life to give Tess a heart attack, Ben decides to open the bridge to the Isle. And all hell breaks loose. When the villain kids arrive, Auradon is swiftly thrown into chaos. From tourney to science class, it's clear the kingdom will never be the same. But Tess will always side with Ben, and she's big enough to admit they're not all bad. ... Even if Jafar's son manages to get under her skin. Really under her skin. As soon as he gets the chance, Jay promptly throws Tess's entire life plan out the window, offering to show her a world she's never known. And as her best friend falls for a complete stranger and her school crumbles beneath their own petty biases, she can't say she's not tempted by the idea. The plan is still in action. That's what's important. But sometimes plans change... right?

i wrote this as a joke because I wanted to strangle a guy watching tiktoks without headphones on the bus, but im genuinely disturbed that we've gotten to a point where convenience comes first. and it depresses me even more that its used to justify and monetize greed

I find it fascinating to witness the straight audience of any media not being able to pick up what the makers of the movie/show puts down.

It’s like when people reacted to the “You wear fine things well” scene in Our Flag Means Death with “aw, they’re such good friends” whereas the queer audience went “omg, this is happening”. We all had access to the same scene, we’d all watched the build up to that scene but the straight audience wrongly read it as friends/straight whereas the queer audience had suspected they were building up to a romance but this was the confirmation. Even the creator of the show was baffled that people were surprised that Ed and Stede fell in love. Because he thought they had made it obvious.

And as I said, we, the queer audience picked up on it. And I feel like the same thing is happening with Ted Lasso. Do I know that Ted and Trent will get together? No, I am unfortunately not a writer on Ted Lasso. But you can’t deny that there are clues pointing to it. But the straight audience barely pick up the fact that Ted and Trent like each other, be that in a platonic way or romantic way. I’ve seen several reactions to the last episode of season 2 and ONE of them included the scene where Ted reacts to Trent not being in the press room. All of them severely cut down the scene in the parking lot. One of the scenes most of us Ted/Trent truthers point to as a huge piece of evidence for it going canon. The parallel of them meeting in an empty parking lot, just like Ted and his ex-wife and Roy and Keeley. But because Ted and Trent are both men it couldn’t possibly mean anything. And Ted has an ex-wife and a kid so he can’t possibly be into men, as if there is no such thing as being bisexual. “But I’m pretty sure Trent has a family, he has a kid right?” So? He could be divorced, we also have no idea if his daughter has another dad or a mum. And the same thing applies to him, it doesn’t mean he can’t be into men (take also into account all of James Lance’s interviews, and his choice of shirt in one of them, friend of Dorothy anyone? He's the captain of this ship, we're just along for the ride tbh.)

Then we have the wonderful “I’m so not homophobic, in fact, you are homophobic because you think Ted is gay just because he likes musicals and has ‘feminine’ traits” um no… it’s the fact that he kind of acts in a way that an ally wouldn't. Yeah, he called himself an ally in that one episode. But every single person who is now out as queer who at one point considered themselves an ally because "I’m not one of them but I sure think they're neat" raise a hand 🖐️ (been there, done that. Was very into queer things before I realised I myself am one of them). What it always comes down to is "it's pandering", "it's tokenism" (having the main character on the show be queer wouldn't be fucking tokenism), "not everything has to be gay", "why can't men just be friends, there is a severe lack of male friendships on tv". And like the last one makes me go??? There are a MILLION friendships between men on TV. There are even multiple friendships between men in Ted Lasso. Beard and Ted, Ted and Higgins, Ted and Roy, the himbos and so on. Having Ted and Trent become a couple wouldn't really change anything because there are still friendships between men. They also claim that Ted is needed as the "straight without toxic masculinity" representation. As if Beard isn't right there. The man who has no problem going to an immersive show about the menstrual cycle. Has no problem with shrieking when he's surprised and so on.

I also like that if we'd get Ted and Trent together, we'd get two middle aged queer dads. Which isn't that common. It's not even super common to see people realising they're queer late in life on TV, and yet it happens every day. Because let's face it, most queer men on TV kind of look like Colin, and I don't mean that as a bad thing. And I'm looking forward to his storyline. But it's also nice seeing middle aged or old people finding themselves and being allowed to be who they are (see Ed and Stede from OFMD). Also would enjoy seeing people lose their minds when they realise they've been fooled this entire time. It'll be like Black Sails all over again.

I do not have any doubts about the fact that, had Trent or Ted been a woman and they saw Trent give up his career because of Ted's influence, they sure as hell wouldn't protest people thinking they'd become a couple. But because it's two men it's just delusional for some reason (homophobia).

What I'm saying is, it's clear that the straight audience has a hard time picking up subtext and clues that the makers are planting. Because they've never had to do that. Because they are always clearly represented. They don't have to look for minor side characters and hope that they might be queer. Because the main character is straight and most of the supporting cast too. When you've grown up with a lack of representation or with representation that is meant to be subtext, you'll learn to pick up on it. And you do look at media differently. I just wish that the straight audience could listen to us for once, without getting defensive and dancing around the fact that they are uncomfortable relating to a character that turned out to be queer.

Fucked up how an adult can make a simple benign poor choice of words one time and give a child a complex forever

Man I have developed the biggest NEED for Connor's voice but don't get me wrong because it is in the least thirsty way possible.

His voice has such a low and calm tone -most of the time anyway-

I swear to you I put ac 3 gameplays videos just to hear him and get through the day because it soothes me *cries*

[actual-corpse]

Just got a rude reminder about how great it is to never have children/ be an only child.

There's too much drama involved with dying, apparently.
