"Do not speak to me of loss."

Oh, I see the show OH MY GOSH THAT WAS BRUTAL.

Okay, anyway, I see the show understands Ozai better than the comics.

#still not on the cartoon's level obviously I've seen some things #but #the implication is that he lost Ursa to gain the throne #and it only has poetry if there's COST #it had to be a decision that he made #to contrast him with aang #and it's brilliant #swan watches natla #ozai #firelord ozai

since i just watched a very beloved movie of mine, that i wish more people knew:

reblog and put in the tags a childhood movie you wish was as popular and influential as all those american/english movies everybody always talks about.

#in the tags #sorry people who grew up with english media only. this isn't meant negatively. i just really wish more people knew about this movie. #mine is das fliegende klassenzimmer. the flying classroom #a 2003 movie adaptation of a book from 1933 germany about friendship and the joys and tragedies of childhood and about growing up #the book is by erich kästner. one of the authors whose books were burned in germany. it's a classic; was adapted into movies several times #and it's brilliant #i love it so much

I have a question about this image of Xanathar's Thieves Guild.

Why does he have sexily lounging elf boys?

I ask because I cannot imagine a beholder being attracted to anything other than itself. Does he just understand Sexily Lounging Elf Boys to be a status symbol, and he wants anyone who visits to know he can afford Sexily Lounging Elf Boys?

Maybe I'm the asshole here for assuming. Maybe these boyfriends are master tacticians here to advise Xanathar, they happen to like wearing leather pants and no shirts and I should be less quick to reduce them to sex objects.

I don't care, I love it, this is all I can think of every time I see it:

#dnd #xanathar #long post #i feel in my bones that an early draft of this image had some typical frazetta-esque bikini girls here #and then a brilliant and heroic artist said no-- shirtless dudes #described in alt text

I fucking LOVE that Donna is not immune to being a little starry-eyed over The Doctor in the way that many of us get a little starry-eyed over our best friends but she IS immune to being that way in front of them lmao. Double love that this appears to also be Catherine Tate and David Tennant's dynamic

#catherine in solo interviews: davids a phenomenal actor and genuinely one of the best people ive ever worked with and a dear friend #catherine when shes with david: oh my god. this fucking guy again #donna talking to wilf: hes absolutely brilliant and honestly a little magical and i miss him a lot i think we should be at each other sides #donna the second she sees the doctor: SUP DIPSHIT #doctor who #donna noble #tennant doctor

Hi sorry I need to do some more Pokemon posting bc this is the funniest shit. the cute-looking Pokèmon TCG series is making "TM10" part of its branding. Like, TM10 from the games - its the TM for the move Hidden Power, thats cute! Its reflecting the main character discovering herself in the same way the move works in the game, what a cute little detail!

Except uh. Just one problem.

Game Freak in all their brilliance removed Hidden Power from the franchise four years ago in Generation 8* and its still not able to be used in Scarlet and Violet. Its not just that you cant teach it to Pokèmon anymore, you straight up cannot use the attack even if you trade in Pokèmon from older games who know it. Its like a banned technique.

So then that begs the question – if the TCG show is gonna be referencing TM10 this much, but TM10 *isn't* Hidden Power anymore, surely that means TM10 is another similarly inspiring attack - Stored Power, or Calm Mind, or Smart Strike?

Well, depending on if its Gen 8 or 9, I hope the kids will have fun Discovering Their Own Magical Leaf and/or Discovering Their Own Ice Fang. Truly inspiring words. love how well managed this franchise is

#pokemon #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon sword and shield #pokemon path to the peak #pokemon tcg #pokemon cards #pokemon games #the funny #mel alphabet soup #those games gastrodon is from #hi for you reading the tags one small correction #yes hidden power WAS brought back in Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl #BUT it was exclusively for that game bc it has Unown #and they dont know wtf to do with those guys otherwise #very funny either way #added alt text btw

I just think

It’d be really neat if Danny looked more like Martha Wayne than Thomas Wayne.

LIKE

I love the Danny Fenton looks like Thomas Wayne or Danny Fenton is Thomas Wayne reincarnated — but the BEAUTY of Martha??

Of Alfred interacting for under five minutes with Danny, dabbing his eyes and going, “That is indeed Martha,” I WANT IT. I want Martha who was spunky and sassy and wanted to do good for her town the same way Danny wants to do good for Amity Park.

I want Martha who loved to take Bruce and the family out to star gaze because her baby had never seen the stars before, and the way his eyes light up like a mini galaxy takes her breathe away the same way that Danny feels when he turns his head up to the sky yearning for something he knew loved but doesn’t know what.

I want Martha who would literally find trouble in a paper bag because she can’t help her curiosity the same way Danny can’t help tripping over his own ghostly tail and making a mess of things before he figures things out.

I want Martha who would fight men who thought they held power, going absolutely feral from stress the same way Danny does when he’s tired of not being able to do his homework or pick up a vacuum against the wall to clean because ghosts.

I want Martha who loved the pearl necklace that Bruce had picked out for her birthday, and Danny reaches towards his neck and startles when his fingers only touch skin when he is certain there was something supposed to be there. I want Danny whose eyes linger on whites and pearls when he passes by open window stores in the mall, fingers itching to flick a nail against the smooth surfaces.

I want Martha who died bleeding underneath the hand of a gun, hoping to everything above that her boy would be safe, and Danny whose body burns at merely looking at the makeshift guns his parents create in the lab, his heart pounding desperately with a yearning to save there was someone she wanted to save the ghosts.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dc x dp #dcxdp #danny phantom #dp x dc crossover #danny fenton #dp x dc prompt #I just think Danny being Martha is a deserved little treat #also #mom! Danny #let Martha Wayne be feral #she became the joker in a different universe when Bruce died and Danny became Dan when all his loved ones died like??? #CONNECTION #let them both be so brilliant and yet so dumb #two wet cats that will primly lick at their fur before setting their tail on fire on a candle #by accident #Danny being a mom to Bruce on instinct is also precious to me #Bruce being torn because: that’s a kid but that is also my mom #on the other hand Danny could have also reincarnated into Martha instead of Martha into Danny #whatever works honestly #so long as Danny gets to mother hen Bruce and smother him in love #and also have both Alfred and Thomas just rolling their eyes as Martha tries desperately not to swing a wine bottle #Martha and Danny will either stress clean or stress fight #pick and choose your fight (ง’̀-‘́)ง

fun fact: in the latin american dub, when Helen Brand tells Benoit Blanc that "google says he's the world greatest detective", he says "i am not James Bond" which is infinitely funnier than the original "i am not Batman" response
