so what do we think fiddleford saw when he looked into the gremloblin's eyes? dude was so traumatised that stanford "oblivious to my assistant's emotional turmoil" pines took notice. it's what motivated him to INVENT THE MEMORY GUN IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'm honestly surprised i haven't seen more speculation about this

This concept art of (possibly) Rook makes much more sense after seeing the Gameplay reveal.

They really are Just Some Guy™

Ashton 'betrayed' the group and they died. Laudna 'betrayed' the group and she hurt one of them.

See, that's the more forgivable crime.

Because the Bell's Hells consider themselves expendable, but they will not be left behind.

oh also also, baghera getting increasingly french at the end of the timer was so fucking funny and i love her so much, like when her and phil fought and phil killed her and her accent thickened until she abandoned words and made french noises CHEF'S KISS reminds me of when she played outlast w cellbit slime and jaiden and got progressively more french as the night wore on, genuinely had a blast hearing her progressively dropping more and more swears in french

also reminds me of something i THINK i remember, think it was her who said during brazil she kept accidentally speaking french to people because of how close she felt to them

ummm goober time sketchy doodle time w/heartslabyul.......... adeuce + lil babby crushies...

i think adeuce would enter that "no homo but tbh a lil homo" era of bestieship and be in mega denial before they realize their own feelings

also not necessarily ship exactly, but like i could see adeuce havin lil tiny crushes on treycay when they first enter the school fjdkshg like caters vibe matches ace + trey is that responsible upperclassman lookin after the freshies and i think juice would admire him [he admires like most of the older students tho it's soooo cute]

and then same reasoning for deuce w/riddle... riddle being sweet to deuce w/ his math struggles in deuces dorm story my beloved... + ace has that one thing he says about riddle in his ghost bride event card story where he was like "yeah he looked so cool bursting into the room i wanna work hard and be cool like him" and tbh sounded like a boycrush in denial.

The Tudors ran so Wulf Hall could shuffle awkwardly around reiterating the same tired old Tudor stereotypes while claiming to be something new.

I have only two or three episodes left of Ted Lasso, and while Keeley is my favorite, I find myself thinking so much about the men in this story.

Because they are such good examples of positive masculinity!

In the end of bell hooks's book The Will to Change, she calls for more and better representation of masculinity in media. She says men need to see other ways of performing masculinity, ways that don't rest on a need for power over others and the ability to oppress.

Elizabeth Plank, in her book For the Love of Men speaks to a need of rediscovery of what manhood looks like now that gender roles are not at all what they used to be. Masculinity is no longer defined by being the sole income for a family. She speaks to women redefining womanhood and what can fall under the idea of femininity, and she bemoans that lack of exploration among men and how that's an exploration desperately needed.

Ted Lasso seems to be a show built on an idea of doing that exploration. There are so many different depictions of men and masculinity in this show, and most of them are positive, rooted in how to be a good and valuable member of society, in making and maintaining connections, in supporting each other and others.

And genuinely the show doesn't seem to be mocking any of its depictions of men. Even Rupert they're coming around to show that his own adherence to oppressive masculinity is rendering his life lonely and sabotaging him. He's not being redeemed so far or anything, but he's the most 'traditional' man as defined by hooks, and he's arguable the most miserable.

Nathan is on the upturn after trying his hand at that form of masculinity and it's so clear how much that kind of manhood doesn't suit him, his needs, or his search for happiness.

I spent some time after reading The Will to Change trying to think of media that offers new models of masculinity, and Steven Universe definitely came to mind. But I wanted to think of something for adults too.

Ted Lasso. Ted Lasso is the show I would pick for representing new ideas on healthy masculinity in a world that wants to let everyone live authentic lives. It's not that the men in it are all healthy and perfect. Far from it in fact. Some of the most beautiful depictions is in their striving for growth, healing, and their will to change and fine love.

My niche Keith Kogane headcanon is that "Thief" by Imagine Dragons from the Smoke + Mirrors (Deluxe) album is HIS song, no if ands or buts, it just screams mullet emo 'delinquent' in the desert bonus with space motifs. If you told me it was written by the angsty fuck himself I'd totally believe you lmao

[thasorns-moved]

It’s probably years since I saw my last crush and since I saw him at the festival all my feelings came back, my crush on him came back. It took me a long time to forget him or not to think about him but as soon as I saw him, he pops up in my head at random times (now and again)… I hate having a crush

[spngirlpolls]

this man is always golfing. i don't know (or care!) enough about golf to tell if he's actually any good or if they just keep inviting him and he keeps showing up

[coridallasmultipass]

jjk culling game arc be like "this character you just met who *is* going to die in 2-3 chapters has a backstory and a gimmick! would you like to know what they are?" and then they die in 2-3 chapters
