i think another reason why matthew lillard plays william so well is just how he can go from
this ^^ happy looking and non-threatening looking to-
serious business man™ to
terrifying.
because it made absolutely no sense to me how game/book william looked so fucking unhinged while kids were going missing and still got business when he opened up new restaurants because there is no way (legal evidence or not) that any sane parent would look at that version of william and not be at least unsettled but say if they were assured by movie william that they were in safe hands/even just saw william looking so nonthreatening and happy around the kids they would feel safe enough to allow their kids there and trust that they didnt have to watch said kids like a hawk
(yes this is me saying i wanna kiss matthew lillard on the mouth)
AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.
When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.
He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.
Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.
Listen. To me, one thing that makes a tumblr sexyman is their ubiquity. You are not searching for them. You are not looking into their tag. But you see them. Onceler. Sans. Reigen. Fandoms you are not into, but still they cross your dash. They are everywhere. You cannot escape. They are giants passing in the distance.
That is to say, Buggy the Clown may be the first state mandated tumblr sexyman.
I'm re-watching Supernatural. Three episodes in and here's what I noticed:
Dean's portrayed as this playboy (mostly by Sam) and yet, in the two cases involving a woman, they both sent him off with a kiss after the case, NOT because he has good pickup lines (one of them actually called him out on his shitty line) or he's hot or whatever, but because he's actually a good, kind man. He saved one woman's brother and another's son (and also, how good is he with kids? Sam acts all shocked as if Dean didn't single-handedly raise him. 🤦🏻♀️)
So anyway, I'm re-watching Supernatural and falling in love with Dean Winchester all over again.
The amount of times I think "is Rhys Darby about to fucking die in real life" when watching Stede gambol around is proof of what a phenomenal physical actor he is.
My guy is swinging around on a ladder, basically turning himself upside down, in like the first two minutes of the show. Even Vico Ortiz said they were worried he was about to die doing that. He runs limbs akimbo and I worry about him just faceplanting into a tree/foliage. In s1 he manages to stomp around in his little heels in very impractical environments while also not dying in the attempt.
The way he's able to look so very uncoordinated is a real testament to how coordinated he is I think. He's excellent at physical comedy, and it's funny, yes, but it's also very technically impressive.
Peeta has said many charming things, but this line always has me giggling and kicking my feet. I don’t understand how Katniss was so strong.
Suzanne really decided to create the perfect man: he can bake and paint, he’s charming but not cocky, and is really kind and caring only to then strip and distort his entire personality, thanks suzanne.
I kinda hate how they changed this in the movie. Even in the paragraphs before this they had this flirty banter that was so so good. The movies erased or changed nearly all of their banter though.
But, anyway - Peeta Mellark is the blueprint that no other book boyfriend has lived up to.
"I reckon they called him Jethro before… y'know, he turned into that thing. I thought a were-possum would be trouble, but he just wanders the holler, looking for ticks. "He's a nice feller! Not fond of lawmen, though. Might have bad memories. Heard he was at Blair Mountain."
pathologic but it's a lost 1920s german expressionist film [id under cut]
[id:
image 1: a digital drawing of a fake poster, using bright colours and rough, painterly brushstrokes. the title, 'pest' (german for 'plague'), is written at the top in spiky black text. in the foreground a man dressed as a tragedian is staring intently at the viewer, his hands raised and splayed as if in horror. in the background, the town is framed against a red sky, with the polyhedron in yellow behind.
images 2 and 3: fake casting sheets for the film, with the names of the actors and the characters they are playing above a black-and-white portrait photograph of them. all the text is in german. in english it reads:

image 4: four digital sketches of set designs for various locations. all are strongly influenced by expressionist imagery, using extreme angles, warped perspective, and dramatic shapes. they are labelled 'street 1' (a street lined with houses), 'street 2' (a square with a lamppost and a set of steps), 'polyhedron exterior' (the polyhedron walkway), and 'cathedral interior' (the dais at the far end of the cathedral).
image 5: four digital drawings in a black-and-white watercolour style, showing fake stills from the film. all are similarly distorted and lit by dramatic lighting. the first shows katerina's bedroom, with katerina standing in the centre of the floor. the second shows the interior of an infected house. the third shows daniil staring out of the frame in horror, one hand on his head and the other raised as if to ward something off. the fourth shows an intertitle with jagged white text reading 'the first day' against a dark background.
