#ulysses klaue #ulysses klaue gifs #my gifs #they didn't have to give us that shot in the first gif #but they did and i love that for us #i love you ryan coogler #everyone knew he was hot in this and they weren't afraid to show it #we can also thank this one for him getting cast as kino loy #because tony gilroy has said that his performance as klaue in black panther and how rugged and charismatic he was #was a big reason why he sought andy out for the role #so bless #also i need him very badly #he can stay tied up in the chair it's fine #black panther #mcu #andy serkis

i think zhao is the best thing in natla. like there’s a lot of stuff in there that i really like but a lot of it is tied up with complicated feelings or worry about the future of the show. but zhao? he’s just rock solid from start to finish. what an amazing adaptation of his character, with an even more amazing performance on top to sell it

#i actually love him #y’all i’m so confused #cant get over ‘had you heard of my name before your capture or was this the first time’ PRJDHSJSKS MY MAN #i think i might be hot for him #hard to distinguish between unadulterated admiration for the performance and attraction lololol #i think it’s mostly the performance but that kind of admiration tends to bleed over u know #hence. confusion #i want him to read me a creepy slimey bedtime story #i think his voice could lull me to sleep so fast #i wonder how much of it can be drawn back to him not having heard of the show prior to being cast #i watched an interview where he talked about that #natla #atla live action #zhao #thoughts #ken leung

enola holmes 2 really said the hottest thing a guy can do is strive for justice and exact change to make people's lives and the planet a better place

#when tewksbury was talking about passing deforestation bills and then got that guy who was exploiting his workers arrested #enola not only are you smart but you have taste #like. he is not hot to me bc he looks Baby but they were right to cast him as the romantic lead #and they are so cute together i simply cannot #enola holmes 2 #movies i love #myposys #enola holmes #lord tewksbury

@ all the people who dislike how big of a role moiraine played in season 1 of wot on prime.......i feel so disconnected from u i think we might actually be living on different planets lol

expanding and focusing on moiraine's perspective is the best (if not ONLY) way to adapt the early parts of the story in a new medium that doesn't allow for alternating pov the way chapters in a book can. on its face, the initial elevator pitch for wheel of time is a somewhat generic chosen one narrative. as the story progresses it becomes increasingly complex and unique, particularly in how it discusses the nature of prophecy vs interpretation/individual will and rand vs philosophy/religious themes. all of which are ideas that make the series so good in the first place but are also impossible to really capture fully upon initial introduction. this is a series that builds, its rewards are found the longer you stick with it and realize just how much of a falling dominoes situation rj has carefully lined up. and don't forget rand might be The Chosen One™ but you also need to find a way to introduce and set up the rest of the ef5

how do you make that beginning more engaging and give it a better hook? how do you adequately communicate the scale of the threat facing the world and what the dragon reborn even means? how do you make sure everyone in the ef5 is given an adequate amount of screen time? don't focus on the chosen one, focus on THE SEEKER!!!

moiraine can handle world building and exposition a bit better than the rest of the cast, given that she has literally been alive longer and seen more of the world aka can potentially answer audience questions as they come up. she also functions as both insider (aes sedai vs ef5) and outsider (ef5+moiraine vs white tower) as the story progresses, an interesting shift for her character and a cool way to mimic rj's whole thing about showing how easily characters can end up in over their heads. ALSO from a craft perspective, some of the strongest material to come out of the books, and arguably one of rj's greater talents as a writer, can be found in how much characterization is laid out in how characters see/perceive other characters. if you make moiraine the guiding force of the start of the narrative, you can translate this strength rather well to television -- you get to see how she sees the Edmonds field kids.

also. would you deny her the gift of receiving head bc they decided to confirm and expand on her gay little backstory. would u really go as far as to say she doesn't deserve a little (gay) head for all her trouble + suffering

#like i get it i have my i love moiraine goggles but come on lol #she brings so much more focus to the narrative??? without her it would just kind of be?? a split pov mess i feel? #television is different from books idk if anyone knows this #and i say this as a rand girly!!!! it wouldnt have worked to focus too much on him in s1 bc the cast is too large!!! #making moiraine the primary audience guide lets everyone else be introduced more naturally #its like the ppl who dont like rosamund bc shes not short like bro. we literally got an oscar nominated actress who is HOT and u r all #arguing about how they should have had a this tall to ride sign at auditions...be serious.... #wot on prime #wheel of time #moiraine damodred #meta

NBC Hannibal certainly has an interesting relationship with neurodivergent representation

#chaotic ramblings #on the one hand we have how will graham's autism is very well represented #on the other hand we have the cast throwing “psychopath” around like a hot potato #and just. so many things in between #like francis?? i love that he's plural coded but man is he evil plural coded #I'm not angry about Randall tho i still want to maul people so he gets a pass #also i was just straight baffled by how accurately they managed to describe being otherkin #they called it a disorder tho so that was :/ but i am going to forgive it because i have no principles #hannibal #nbc hannibal #neurodivergent

…….…….if not in costume why so dirty 🤔

#abc saw last season the cast having selfies all covered in blood and were like rEMOVE THE INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE #which in this case appears to be Ryan’s shirt 😅 #although I do love the idea of it being a fashion choice #but he’s so dirty! and Oliver’s dirty! and Oliver has like a purple stain on his white pants? #even Peter looks a smidge dishevelled (but it’s a smidge and maybe it’s a hot day so I’ll concede that) #911 #911 spoilers #911 speculation #911 clowning around don’t take it seriously and hunt me for sport or whatever

I really like seeing the men who read TLT cross my socials feed because they’re always like “Gideon is SO COOL gideon is the BEST I love gideon SO MUCH” and I think they’re either trying really hard to be supportive or actually don’t realize that gideon my beloved is so faildyke she kills herself for harrow thinking that harrow wasn’t even into her and these guys do genuinely think Gideon has real swag

#a cast of dykes and none of them are getting any #Now gideon does have a certain panache but there is no doubt. she’s a loser. And I love her so much. #Gideon has swag in the sense that she is SUPER cool in her own brain but also fully fell to her knees bemoaning her hotness #to an unimpressed room. #🍂.txt

List of Why The Fuck Didn't I Realise I Was Into Women Sooner #2: Catherine Zeta Jones's sword fight with Antonio Banderas in Mask of Zorro.

That part where her hair was hanging loose and wild and he'd cut the shoulder off her nightdress and she disarmed and advanced on him like an avenging Fury, eyes ablaze and breathing hard— fundamentally altered my brain chemistry. Haven't been the same person since.

#granted i only caught it on tv for the first time years after it was released #i think i was in my later teens #but i remember being struck dumb when CZJ appeared on screen #and then the fight scene #i don't even care that she's fucking Welsh and was essentially playing brownface like the entire rest of the white main cast #(although seriously fuck Banderas's white Spanish ass) #it was 1998 and good mother of fuck that was Elena #i was small and ace and very bi and had a heart boner. a heart-on if you will #i wonder whether i'd hate The Mummy so much if I had watched it before I knew it was racist af #although i think baby Rachel Weiz in the Mummy has a spot on the top ten of this list too #how did she look so completely different and elfish in the first movie. i had no idea it was the same woman in the rest of all her films #you could stick her on a music box. blow her away in the wind like a dandelion #although to be honest i have no excuse whatsoever for loving the Prince of Persia. Gemma Atherton. Jake Gyllenhaal. so hot #idk. maybe because they werent playing plunderers of a colonizer fever dream. the rituals are intricate #knee of huss #catherine zeta jones #mask of zorro #just bisexual things

What was the beta s2 villain design? I haven’t heard or seen abt that one n im curious

,,,,Bombshell my bbygirl,.

#she is So fucking cute & as a standalone design i love her but #for WOYS2's main villain.. for WOY's MAIN CAST........ bro absolutely not this is literally just 'hrjfdf woman hot' villan and nothing else #swapping this out for manic hot topic gremlin bastard lesbian was where they struck gold like. ty god hrjbhsdjgfbng #not that the way they used dominator was /perfect/ by any means #bc believe you me there's a few things in the show that were ehghhghhh at best & stuff from the crew that pisst me AWFF at worst but #overall dom was really solid. the purpose her character served and the writing & character building choices for her were all *chef's kiss* #there was a lot about her whole vibe that was communicated REALLY WELL through her design alone imo #(and a lot about her personality and motivations that you could gleam from JUST her first out-of-suit appearance on its own #i just really wish they'd given WAY fewer fucks about her being pewtty or conventionally attractive or Whatever bRO IT'S HOLDING YOU BACK!! #i dont think Any of that stuff was prioritized when brainstorming for bombshell here 😭 maybe they hadn't fleshed out those ideas yet #bc with Bombshell? the only things her design communicate are that she's hot & apparently that's Important + she has a bug theme going on #& i GUESS that she's ostentatious & goes for v loud clothing. those pauldrons command a room #so you can get ''commandeering'' and MAYBE even ''powerful'' from that #but for a MAIN VILLAIN meant to majorly challenge the main cast & shake up the show‚ THat is extremely milquetoast!!!!!! #again there's rlly nothing here to take away from her design overall other than that she's sexy. why define her that way for being a her #it's such a big ''nah man'' #it's tired it's been done to death #the read you get on her from Overall Vibes alone are very bland!!! #i have to wonder at what point they really started to get the ball rolling in the right direction w/ their S2 big bad to end up w dominator #wondering if maybe it was when they figured they should make her a punk to contrast wander being a hippie? #do you think maybe they just got input from women #grateful every day for the absolute bastard supreme we ended up with #finalhaunts

[msommers]

can't sleep. plagued with the thought of riya being capable of summoning a storm cloud to zap darkspawn for a full hour each day and how sickening that is for the 10 day long battle at val foret

#technically i can't sleep in general and these are the thoughts i'm keeping myself entertained with #if she uses every 3rd/4th level spell slot + her arcane recovery it's an hour of frying darkspawn #and i think that's kinda sexy as hell and v fun of her #i fucking love mages it's just so cool to picture i'm going more insane about it w each passing moment #sure she does other stuff but i imagine at least a few days of this would have been put to use bc it's so effective #can only imagine the absolute drain of energy that would be on a mage. oof #someone make sure she doesn't fall off the battlement once the final cast is over lmfao #this is also?? a good spot for the training of not relying on a staff for casting to start kicking in #anyway.....riya hot. magic sexy. darkspawn die. profit #campaign: the vigilant #ch: valeriya de clairmont

I love how Carnelian Blood made me re-fulfill my promise to return to the DL fandom (I left bc I had more passionate interest at the time and wasn't interested in Chaos Lineage but if it got new characters I told myself I'd return) and it's like stepping into a time capsule

things, for better or worse, have no changed

#the same arguments #the same praise post #now I love Yui & the boys still #even tho my interpretations of them probably differ from most people #and I am excited to see if anything comes from the side/spinoff cast (Carnelian Blood) #Honestly I have some hot takes of my own regarding Yui that maybe I'll share one day #(spoiler: it's not dislike or anything just a different approach to why her personality is the way it is) #(aka a more realistic/doylist perspective that is probably less romantic) #but currently I will just vibe.... #diabolik lovers #carnelian blood #good to see that the old blogs I liked are still active #need to reread some route translations to see if I can write that DL fanfic project I wanted to when I was younger

im tired of seeing people genuinely say that Astarion "looks too old". Or get upset when he makes An Expression and theres lines on his forehead when his brows crease or raise, and laugh lines when he smirks. Sorry that the 200 year old abused elf* has signs of Being Alive and not being Etched Marble.

*[i get elves are forever beings but astarion has lived a rough fucking life - he should show signs goddamnit.]

#even the cast of twilight have laugh lines and brow creases and they ARE marble skinned #i have a whole rant about how theres been a very violent upswing of Chasing Youth Forever #but i didnt wanna make this post ten miles long #anyway. this came from seeing a tik tok of a middle school kid and her cabinet full of vitamins creams and etc- #-and was talking abt how she Needed These so she would never look Old #and then saw another tik tok of someone showing off “smooth” astarion and the comments talking abt how: #“Oh finally! Now he looks like a real vampire! Now hes actually hot! He looked Sooooo Old before!!” #wringing necks and rapidly aging people out of spite #deal with your own mortality and get out of my wrinkle loving domain #[i always block and move on but im just Feelin It today]

[selkiecoded]

What isekai are you reading if you don’t mind me asking?

okay... but youre not allowed to make fun of me... its called "50 tea recipes from the duchess." korean woman gets fired, gets isekai'd into the body of a duchess who is timid to the point of patheticness and everybody fuckin hates her. is like uggghh well i dont care if im hated as long as i have my special interest: TEA. and with her autistic girl swag (label pending) she makes both the society and her cold intimidating husband love her. 70% of it is her infodumping about tea to the delight of everyone around her.

#ask me no questions and ill tell you no lies #started reading it on tapas bc i was bored and it was free. embarrassingly got invested. #more uhh romance isekai? rather than like an action based one. its cute enough. not really groundbreaking but i like the FL. #we did manage to achieve a conversation between the protag and her body swapped soul so that was fun. #generally i dont support ppl who go on abt art that they only engage w for mindless fun or whatever bc theyre usually talking abt fuckin. #idk marvel movies or the latest army propaganda films or whatever. and generally the media they talk abt verges to harmful. #but i am an avid supporter of reading dumb shit you know is silly. all art has value including stupid stuff. #other dumb stuff ive read: at least two ~sexier~ manga/manhwa. former had surprisingly decent world building. #latter had an INCREDIBLY TOXIC cast of characters. it was absolutely fascinating. #those are the more embarrassing ones and the ones i WONT be dropping titles for. #others include furry shoujo isekai; aromantic shoujo; mousou telepathy (ive mentioned that before) #gag comedy where a dude gets ~magicked~ into a girls body but the joke is hes so lazy that he doesnt give a shit (mood) #stupid bl manga with a hot fat character who is very much the main object of desire #a lot of it is manga/manhwa bc its easier to get into something kinda dumb if its bolstered by having nice visuals rather than like a book #or whatever where you have to slog through it with your imagination alone. even when reading 'dumb' art i try to engage it properly bc i #very sincerely believe that every story has some form of meaning if youre just willing to engage with it #(<- plot of orv btw for an ACTUALLY good story) #like i said the sexi manga has surprisingly good worldbuilding. the toxic story the sexu manhwa was telling was earnestly fascinating. #idk! sorry i know you were just looking for the name but while i do consider it just kinda silly its broader impact has a deep effect on me #this is why i love orv❤️ please read orv. while i already had these fond feelings prior to reading orv it really cemented it for me. #oh and i read romance novels sometimes. i like stuff thats cute and silly! idk. youve been on my blog you can see my icon this isnt news.

Real talk and I'm like a couple seasons away still but

When the younger historian in me first heard that they'd named not just one but fully FOUR episodes "My Struggle".............. well let's just say there was a certain kind of feeling.

#i'm not gonna say it felt like a red flag #but i'm not NOT gonna say it #i have a certain bias but on the heels of that i wasn't particularly surprised at hearing #that some of the story choices were viewed by many as maybe..........misguided #i'm at least halfway spoiled but reserving judgment until i've seen it all #(i'm aware of the Norwegian too so theyre not exactly setting precedent with the title. i'm not here to cast aspersions) #(but it kinda felt like A Choice was made right there on the tin so.......whatever's inside......................Choices.) #knowing me i'll love it once i've seen it xD i have a bit of a track record of having almost no complaints in any of my fandoms #even if the source material devolves into hot mess territory xD #but to me that title will probably always be........ A Choice. #x files #nachos thoughts #it's been on my mind lately
