This guy’s so fucking pretty, is the thing.

He says, “You work for Blackbeard?”

Ed frowns a second, then looks down at the Blackbeard’s Home Renovation and Restoration logo on his t-shirt. He says, “Yeah. Yeah, suppose I do.” He sticks out his hand. “Name’s Ed.”

“Stede.” His hand is soft, but not soft like dough. Soft like silk. A fine, expensive thing that's treated that way. Ed’s got to let go before he bends over and rubs his face against it like a cat.

Quinlan and Aayla are the original Anakin and Ahsoka. Quinlan being Obi-Wan's age, and Aayla being seven years older than Anakin, Quinlan is only NINE years older than her. Legends Wookieepedia says he took her as his padawan when she was 10, which is patently ridiculous. Even if we age her up to a more new-canon-consistent age, that still gives us 23yo Quinlan and his 14yo padawan. Disaster duo. Terrifying gremlin pair.

#I SAID WHAT I SAID #star wars #quinlan #aayla secura #grace for ts #OBI WAN IS STILL A PADAWAN AT THIS POINT #everyone makes constant jokes nonstop but Quinlan is THE greatest master he can possibly be #everyone else is surprised. impressed. who knew quinlan 'I Have Never Been Serious In My Life' vos had this in him? #tholme been knew #he walked straight out of his knighting to go ask Aayla to be his padawan #she crossed her arms unimpressed and said 'well it took you long enough!' #i cant believe he found her and brought her to the temple as a child. i cannot believe that storyline was allowed to exist in star wars #ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO #the original 'the team' prototype #you cant tell me all the initiates didnt follow their latest adventures #hoping to one day be That Cool

bbc: Some sweet #Silvacre content for your FYP ❤️

#silvacre #suranne jones #rose leslie #vigil #the bbc making a silvacre fan edit was a pleasant surprise :) #i saw the streaming numbers for vigil 2 were very good (understatement) #which makes an s3 at least a possibility #if they can write a story suranne and rose would sign on for #i'm counting on what suranne said that the continuation of the love story is a big part of what brought her back #the series does a good job creating dramatic tension and conflict within a happy relationship that doesn't involve cheating or one dying #if they do a 3rd season i hope that continues #i mean the series started with amy in the worst possible place emotionally and psychologically so surely they wouldn't go there again #s2 with its wlw mlm solidarity/parallel storyline and giving us more insight into amy and how far she's come since s1 #on top of all the other things i liked this season (which i enjoyed quite a bit in addition to the ship) #at heart it's very critical of the british government and military/war machine and some reviews seem to have missed that part #anyway i'm pleased as punch that a prestige bbc drama has two women in love at its center and a lead as compelling as amy #and that it's pulling in the numbers even without the submarine and claustrophobia (admittedly a cool premise) #keep making the fanvids bbc social media team we appreciate you #queue

it ever hit you out of nowhere that castiel is living in a dead guy's body and the show just does not care. it does not care. jimmy novak might as well not exist the moment he or claire is out of sight. cas stole a guy's body and his face and his life, and we can't ever talk about it or discuss it in detail because of how fucking horrifying it is that sam and dean's best friend just walks around in a dead guy suit. there's not even a human soul in there anymore. it's just a corpse. stone-cold body snatcher indeed.

#castiel spn #spn #this is not like a Castiel Crime (tm) to be clear. this is more me being (un)surprised that the show is Like This. #castiel is a horror story he is so much a horror story in the rapture #and then they just uh. never bring up again how horrifying and fucked up this is for another like 7 seasons #and when they do its to briefly go :( claire lost her dad :) but its okay! she forgives cas for it! #which!! NO SHE SHOULD FUCKING NOT!!! #but we can't have that discussion. we can't talk about that. because to acknowledge that it's fucked up would mean making cas kind of. evil #in a way that would vastly improve his later character arcs btw. if we had to reckon with not only this massive transgression #but with the fact that cas himself STILL DOESN'T SEE IT AS ONE. #that on a lot of fundamental levels. he is still functioning as he did in s4. a lot of that base programming is still there. #something something how cas never changes out of his suit under his trenchcoat #but it's like. jimmy said yes. so it's fine. that's what it is to him. #anyway. i wish they hadn't been scared of making all three of the boys more fucked up in later seasons. #thank GOD for dean being interesting in how he becomes Worse <3 because they were not bringing that for castiel. #again. good version of spn where jimmy's bloodline is an off-shoot of the lucifer vessel bloodline. explaining a) how lucifer Got In There #and b) letting lucifer possess claire later so that the two of them can have daddy issues together. #something about cas being the monster-not monster that jimmy let in that destroyed his life. #something about lucifer being the monster-not monster that castiel lets in later. the cycles. they are cycling.

Hinny - ❤️

AU, where Hinny grew up together, and Harry asks Ginny if she'd go to her first Hogsmeade with him. Ginny gives him an amused look and tries to explain that they've been sneaking out to Hogsmeade together since her first year, but Harry tells her it's different this time. Then he officially asks her out on a date while nervously playing with her fingers (he's had this nervous tick since they were kids).

#she obviously said yes! #no one was surprised as everyone already assumed they were dating #ginny secretly loved that he needed to touch her whenever he was nervous like she was a security blanket for him #my son grew up surrounded by love so he knew from the beginning she was the one #my cuties #hinny #ginny x harry #harry x ginny #harry potter #ginny weasley #harry potter ai #ai generated

people hate teenage girls so much that i can literally say "teruhashi is conceited, fake, judgemental, and manipulative, but she has incentive to change and is only that way because of how shes been treated her whole life" and theyll still go "wow are you justifying the horrible things she thinks? youre acting like shes a perfect, hurt little angel who did nothing wrong"

PLEASE READ !!! GENUINELY BEGGING YOU TO LEARN TO READ !!!

#its so dumb i hate misogynists I HATE MISOGYNISTS !!! #u guys literally cannot stop yourselves from hating women its actually crazy #the literal only way to misunderstand her that badly is if u hate her cuz shes a woman im so serious #i was arguing with this random tiktoker and i said 'she isnt necessarily a good person but she isnt a bad one either' #and they were literally like 'why like her then if shes not a good person? she deserves the hate' oh my god media literacy is dead #u guys cant handle characters who arent completely black and white #it came as no surprise when that person eventually admitted that they only watched season one of tdlosk #i dont know why they started an argument with me when they literally have not seen the show #people do that all the time.. why do they gen think they know the series when they quite literally have not seen it #ok sorry this is like my millionth post complaining about misogyny in this fandom #its a problem though for realsies #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #teruhashi kokomi #meows post

I think the comments beautiful older women give me at work might be the death of me

omg guys I just found my beautiful, hardcover, illustrated, deluxe 30th anniversary edition of The Princess Bride and I forgot how fucking stunning this fucking book is 😭😭😭

I thought it was so gorgeous when it was gifted to me for Christmas several years ago from my mother that I never even opened it up long enough to read any of it because I fucking cherished this copy of one of my all time favorite book and film adaptions so so so much, I didn’t want to mar the book at all by reading it because it’s just so beautiful that I packed it away, in a separate box, cushioned by my own shirts since I don’t have a bookcase anymore, and just kept it safe there and, UGH !!! it still looks pristine now that I’ve taken it back out !!! 🥺🥺🥺

but now I have the urge to actually open it and read it, because I haven’t read the book in like 20 years now and it was one of my favorites the first time my mom let me borrow her copy when I was 7-8 years old. and then when I bought my own hand me down falling apart ass paperback version I found at the library for like $2 during one of their like book sale things when I was 10, and read it over and over again until it was missing pages. like, that’s how much I love this book. I read it to DEATH. like. that book was so loved that I read it until it couldn’t be pieced back together anymore. and even though it was in rough shape when I got it, I didn’t care. I loved it because it was finally MY copy. and now I have this just absolutely gorgeous copy to replace that old falling apart book I had lost ages ago and was devastated about, and it’s one of my most prized possessions.

I’m going to be much more careful when reading this version, seeing as it is a deluxe anniversary edition that was gifted to me, and has quite a lot of beautifully illustrated pages and even some extra chapters. and because, eventually, I want to pass it down to my kids so they can read their mother’s favorite book, from her own copy of it (if I ever have any kids, that is), like my mother did by letting me read her copy and just fall in love with the story. which is a big part what instilled my love for this book/film at a very young age, that connection over it that I had with my mother, because her and I have never really connected on much so this book holds a lot of sentimental value to me. and I want to one day pass that down to my children for them to read (not keep, just read and decide if they want their own copy so I can go buy them an edition of it, like my mother did by gifting me this edition when it released even though it was years and years after I’d first read the book and fell in love with it, she just remembered how enamored I was with the story and the characters that she wanted to surprise me with a brand new, beautiful copy of my own). so I’ve def gotta keep it in really good condition. that’s my drive to not ruin this book and read it to death like my poor old paperback version I had, lol 🥺🖤

#yeah the book was only like 35-40 bucks but shut up I love this thing and I literally hold it dear to me because it is my all time favorite #she got herself and both my sisters the same edition as well in case they ever wanted to read it or showed an interest in it #I was the most excited when I opened mine lol the girls were like ‘oh a book okay’ and I was like ‘HOLD UP WAIT A FKN MINUTE’ and cried lol #because she remembered. she remembered how much I loved it enough to find wait many years until they released a deluxe anniversary copy #so she could get it for me and I could have my own beautiful copy of my favorite book #honestly one of the most thoughtful things she’s ever done bc she said ‘I could’ve got you your own ages ago but like I knew the anniversary #edition would be worth the wait and I wanted to surprise you with that. even if it was over after you first read it. because I knew you’d #genuinely appreciate it more than anything. so I really do hope you love it.’ and I fucking BAWLED #over a decade since you first read it* #full on fucking SOBBED while everyone was opening Christmas presents dude like #I can’t believe she remembered that … and it just … I felt less forgotten as a child of hers than I usually do at that Christmas at least #mine

Wait ok I'm not knowledgeable on anything Wilson family. Slade drugs Rose???

yeah <///3 before tt03 they had met like once ever (and it went poorly) so to get rose on his side slade injected her with a super soldier serum

in #0.5 he kidnaps her after buying a hit on her (many such cases) and goes "cmon rose we can be a family lets be a family <3333" and she agrees (because shes angry and slade is the one handing her a weapon to kill the man that killed her mother)

then theyre on the same side for a while! the first time we hear about the serum (and iirc only time its specifically mentioned while shes being drugged) is in #12 (BART 🥺)

we also see some flashbacks in fresh hell of slade giving her the serum too

anyways then she joins the team and everything is alright (lie). this is the first confirmation that she was being drugged, plus also showing that shes staying on the team just bc shes afraid slade will get her again :(

in any story that takes place from 2003-2006 that includes rose & slade (bg #63-64, nightwing #112-115, etc), rose is being drugged :(

basically the writers needed an explanation for why she would choose to work with slade and wanted an excuse for why she would be able to join the titans later on and honestly? rare johns banger. this plotline fucks to me. completely defines rose's relationship with slade and gives her a concrete reason to hate him but also have very complicated feelings about her place in his life ouuughhhh

but in conclusion slade sucks so heres some panels of rose beating him up

#i hadn't really thought about it before making this post but its kinda surprising how little the serum gets brought up #i think because its one of the worst things slade has ever done so ppl ignore it to say 'slade is so misunderstood 🥺' #but like. it probably gets brought up less than 5 times in all of tt03 (INCLUDING fresh hell) #and its pretty much never brought up outside of tt03 #even when a book mentions her stabbing her eye out they rarely bring up the fact that she was being drugged when it happened #i dont even think batgirl 2008 said anything about her being drugged? #obv they say that it happened to cass but i dont think it says anything about rose too #and then ofc it hasnt been canon since the new 52. scott lobdell start running #(<- probably not actually his fault but im still blaming him)

[dirtytransmasc]

I hope we get a scene of Alicent with Aegon's body. If her son is damned to die, if she is damned to spiral into insanity, if she is to lose her life too the grief, let me see her with his body.

let her hold her baby in her arms one more time. let her wipe the blood that poured from his mouth and nose as he died. let her run her fingers over the viscous burns that adorn his skin. let her fix his hair. let her bathe him with a cloth as she had when he was a babe. let her kiss his cheek, his forehead, his hair, his hands. let her lay her head against him, hugging him like she had failed to do for years.

he was her firstborn and yet, her heart was still beating and his was not, she was not yet cold in her grave, no, no her son was cold, her flesh was warm, too warm. he was her baby, her son, the boy she tried so hard to protect, who had loved even when it hurt, who she had stood in front of a dragon for. she loved him, the very bones of him, and now he was dead.

let her lose her mind right there, in that room, still clinging to her body, one that's too cold, too still, too quiet. let her scream out to the gods, damning them, cursing them for taking her eldest son, amongst everything else in her life.

I want her to drive away anyone who tries to take him from her, forcing the silent sisters or whoever would be left to deal with his body at that point. let her curse and spit and claw at anyone who comes too close.

she would stay there for hours, reflecting on her memories of him. maybe she talks to him or hums a lullaby until she finally loses her battle with what remains of her consciousness and sanity, falling still against the table.

she dreams of Aegon, she dreams of the life she wish she could have provided, the life she had tried so hard to give him. a life where he was safe, a life where she had been a better mother, a life where she didn't need to live in and impose fear up on her children. maybe if she had tried hard enough he would still be alive, she'll think as she floats in the space between consciousness and unconsciousness.

she'll wake in plain chambers she only partly recognizes, she'll learn of her sons lackluster and sparsly accompanied burning, she'll learn her son was gone and she was alone. there won't be much of her left to care. she just continues dreaming, dreaming of her dead children and spiraling to madness until her broken heart finally gives out.

[my previous post inspired this, cause all I can think about now is Alicent mourning her son and its gonna put me in an early grave]

#[I know she isn't with him in the book but shhhhhh enoughs already changed let me be delusional] #I don't want to see this happen. my girl need a goddamn break. but if its gonna happen just demolish my heart in one foul swoop #all or nothing #cause if I watch a slow decent into madness I'm going with her #let her break quick and fast for my sake #I haven't read the book (as i've said a trillion times before. I'll get to it eventually) so take this with a grain of salt #I don't think book alicent didn't love her children #I do think the love she held for them and the love show alicent held for them is very different simply due to circumstance #and I don't think show alicent is lasting very long after Aegon's death #i wouldn't be surprised if she died of a broken heart shortly after him #part of me fucking prays for it cause I don't know if I'll be able to cope with her grieving for 2 years #my heart just can't #and she doesn't deserve it #just let her reunite with her children and be at peace #don't make her suffer #let her say goodbye to her baby. give her closure. let her go #I beg #alicent hightower #pro alicent hightower #aegon ii #aegon ii targaryen #aegon targaryen #pro team green #hotd #house of the dragon #its fine.

Can you guess who my favorite Pizza Tower character is? 💙✨

#Star's Art #Star's Comfort Characters #Pizza Tower #Brick the Rat #Brick Pizza Tower #Sprite Art #Coolness #Remember how a few posts ago that I said that I'm the number one Bad Rat fan? #Well... I'm re-coronating myself. I'm now the number one fan of all rats residing in the Pizza Tower... #BRICK ESPECIALLY. #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BRICK MY B E L O V E D ! ! ! #I've never had a character grow on me anywhere as fast as Brick has #Like. Any time I see art of Brick on tumblr I immediately like it and I even intend on reblogging a few #The mere sight— nay— the mere THOUGHT of Brick makes me ever so happy... #... and that's why I jumped at the chance in making an assortment of drawings of them! #It was mostly practice to perfect drawing my favorite rat but then I got a bit carried away #Some might notice that I've been referring to Brick as they/them... #... and that's partly because I've partly projected on Brick as I see them going by she/they pronouns #This rat is a genderfluid icon and you can't tell me otherwise. #Don't be surprised if I end up drawing Brick even more because I just love them THAT much!!! 💖

I love how the broken, gilded cage Robin sits in appears to resemble a waterphone (and a phonograph within, by the look of it?). You may have heard its beautiful haunting voice in horror films and music in general. That the splash art attributes it to her, a Path of Harmony character, The Robin of Penacony, renowned singer across the stars, is so cool.

#HSR #Honkai Star Rail #Robin hsr #Trying to reclaim what dignity I have #. #It's such a great choice of musical instruments #A medley of instruments honestly #They really said the waterphone is for the sapphics-- (SHOT) #So far I've only seen one (1) public tweet about the waterphone like ueueue (sound of crying) #Robin! Waterphone! It's a delightful surprise ough #Also not to mention birds galore.... #Birbs #The waterphone needs to leave me alone help I am still not over the fact they put it in Robin's splash art #Like she can apparently have resonance with other lifeforms? Excited to see how they'll spin it from there #Makes me want to re-experience Tales of the Abyss lore again waugh #Fonons... Fonic Hymn...
