Hellooooo! Here’s me crashing into your ask box to wish you a very happy, happy birthday!
I thought I’d ask you if you can remember some specific scenes/moments from a show and/or movie that triggered your “Oh, I need to gif this IMMEDIATELY!” desire.
And please do go ham on your reply, you know very well how much I enjoy them.
Have an amazing day! 🧡
Hey!!! I fucking love you! I don't know how the hell you manage to to do everything you do, but now you've gone and inspired me to start a fandom-friends birthday calendar. 😂😂 I legit admire how you always reach out to people and remember everyone!! But thank you so much for the birthday wishes, it's been a pretty good day so far so I can't complain! 🥰
As for moments I just had to gif?! There's been a fuck ton throughout the years and the men. 😅I'll answer under a cut for length and lets see what all my old lady brain can remember. 👵 I apologize in advance for how long this could potentially get and just how random the gifs probably are. I never feel inspired to gif cool scenes with witty dialogue, I just gif for thirst reasons because I'm a dumpster of a human. ETA: It got really long and didn't even scratch the surface tbh.
For Rob, I'll start with this one. I feel like I post it every time someone asks me about my favorite gifs or moments but listen, that man's god damn belly makes me feral. The context of the scene is also just peak Dad™ for me so it was 10000/10, absolutely had to gif this the second I watched:
Tumblr media
This is an interview but you know when you first start checking out a new dude and you see gifs from interviews/shows where they look particularly tasty and you're immediately like I must find this and watch it or else I will perish. That was this interview for me. And how could it not be? Again...BELLY. Hairy belly. Just big, soft, delicious man meat. And thighs. As soon as I found it I had to gif it for myself so I could make it as obnoxiously big as humanly possible.
Tumblr media
I watched this zoom live and the moment this motherfucker turned his head my brain said "gif it". Profile? Nose? Greys?
Tumblr media
And this shot too. This man was fucking born to smile, he puts his whole ass into it.
Tumblr media
This. His arms here. This scene was dark af but I knew I had to gif it anyway. I adore the shape of this man. It feels so fucking real to me. Soft belly, sizeable arms that still look natural. It's realistic, it's comfy, it's fucking sexy. He's just fucking man-shaped.
Tumblr media
I don't even have to tell you why because I know you get it.
Tumblr media
I'm an American what do you want from me? 🤡 I'm just kidding, it's not because of the gun. 😅IDK if you've watched Downton, but Thomas is just such a fucking capable man. There isn't a task they set him to that he doesn't excel at and I just felt like it was always overlooked and underappreciated by everyone around him. That shot and scene inspired an entire gifset I made about him being a man of many talents.🤓
Tumblr media
I can't even explain it, I just knew I needed it. He just looks so man sized. And fuzzy. Just...go off daddy.
Tumblr media
You and I both know I'd suck a dick for a good profile shot. The greys, the nose, the man...👀
Tumblr media
I can't post all the gifs from this scene/episode so I'll settle for this one. But I knew immediately I'd be giffing it until my fingers hurt (that legit happens y'all, I'm old 👵) Not only did he spend some time in this episode being the soft, caring uncle but he did it in a cozy sweater and it was like they were sure to hit all my weaknesses at once. Soft cozy men? 👀Then they were kind enough to give us the most beautiful close-up shots of his face. And the boy just has a beautiful fucking face.
Tumblr media
For old times' sake, I'm gonna include some Jon just for you but to be fair, I liked him for seven damn years so there were a lot. Too many to list or even remember. But here's a few that maybe aren't the obvious shots!
This one. I remember everyone losing their shit over his ass but I was losing my mind over that "soft flash of belly" (really, I was always fangirling the hardest over scenes where Jon looked softer than he really was so we shouldn't be shocked I eventually left for a man with a beer belly 😅)
Tumblr media
Speaking of which, this scene too!
Tumblr media
And of course, anytime he was covered in blood. I think I actually giffed this exact shot 5 or 6 different times.
Tumblr media
And, the obligatory back of his head shot. There are so many here I could post because pretty much anytime I saw the back of Jon's head I immediately needed a gif of it but we'll go with this one, it was probably slept on a little bit.
Tumblr media
Alright this is long enough! Bless anyone for reading this long. 😳 But legit, thanks for the fun ask and for the birthday wishes, Stef! 🥰🥰 Your kindness is one of the reasons I will always appreciate having been in Jon's fandom!

listen. listen. take me up, cast me away. this phrase already drives me insane but in the context of this gifset? im spinning and spinning and spinning and sp
so like. okay. back to the basics. this is the phrase that's inscribed on either side of the blade of excalibur. yes, that excalibur, arthurian legend excalibur, the one from the lady of the lake (no, not the sword in the stone, they're different swords, yes i know it's confusing).
i'm not sure where this inscription first came into use, as most articles/information i can find just say "in multiple versions" the inscription or similar words to it are mentioned, although the only specific example i've found is tennyson's idylls of the king.
"[...] on one side, Graven in the oldest tongue of all this world, 'Take me,' but turn the blade and ye shall see, And written in the speech ye speak yourself, 'Cast me away!' And sad was Arthur's face Taking it, but old Merlin counselled him, 'Take thou and strike! the time to cast away Is yet far-off.' So this great brand the king Took, and by this will beat his foemen down." -- (Forgive me, I don't want to count all the lines and there are no line numbers, but I got the full text on Project Gutenberg.)
i also looked at Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur which is a pretty major text for popular/well-known Arthurian canon, and while there is an interesting exchange between Merlin and Arthur about swords and scabbards when Arthur takes up Excalibur that could certainly be relevant, there is no mention of the inscription on the blade.
but like, here's the thing. take me up, cast me away. it's about being willing to take up the mighty sword, to wear the heavy crown--take responsibility, take action, wield power and make hard choices. but it's also about knowing when to stop. not just when to take up the burden of power but when to let go of the joys of power. it's about knowing you can't fight fate: one day, the sword must be cast back into the lake. one day you will lose your power. one day camelot must fall, and arthur must die on the fields of camlann. in many ways, camelot was doomed from the start, from the very first time arthur drew the sword from the stone: because of the blood his father spilt, because of the fate that had been sealed long ago. it won't be for a long time, of course--galahad is unborn, the grail unfound, the heralds uncalled. guinevere is still loyal, if they're married at all, and lancelot might not have even arrived yet (i'm really not sure on the timeline, and even i were an expert i would doubt that there was anything consistent given all the different versions and contradicting tales that have been told over the years). but nonetheless, camelot will fall. take me up, cast me away: take power, but give it up, when it is time. take action, fight, but be willing to stop, too. stand up but know one day you must stand down, one day you will fall. take power. give it up. take responsibility. give it up. fight. surrender.
that may sound bleak, but you must remember: happy endings don't exist. it's about where you end the story--camelot lives many prosperous years before it inevitably crumbles. happy endings are just time. and if you stand up and fight--take up the sword--you can buy that time. the time to cast away is yet far off.
(as a quick digression, it's also very interesting to me that in tennyson's text, take me up is written in the oldest tongue known to this world, while cast me away is written in the common tongue arthur knows. i don't think i have the energy to get into this in depth but like. wow, right?)
now you might be thinking hey gert? gert? what the FUCK does this have to do with kate and martina. and i admit. i got a little side tracked because this shit makes me emo. i haven't even gotten into galahad and i won't for the sake of time and relativity to the main topic here. and like, sure, the themes of fate less important/prevalent here i think. but like. listen.
take responsibility. fight, when no one else will. stand even when you're alone. be independent. but also know when to stand down. know when you need help. take up the sword, even though you're so young, too young to be a soldier. but cast it away when you must, when you can. be a kid, too.
and then there's the double meaning: two abandoned children. take me up. cast me away.
ough.

You know what pisses me off? People feeling the need to express that they don't believe in Jikook anymore... *cough* for really dumb reasons *cough*... in the jikook tag. Like everyone is entitled to their own opinion and all but why in the tag man?? I just want to scroll through and see nice gifsets and edits, and nice positive takes and discourse and maybe a few good fanfic recs. But then my eyes are forced to see someone's poorly worded and poorly evidenced diatribe about why Jikook IS DEFINITELY FOR SURE NOT A THING, and how they have finally seen the light!! You don't believe in Jikook anymore? Good for you. But keep that shit on your blog or in the anti-jikook tag or something and just GO for fucks sake. It's not that deep. Let people enjoy what they enjoy by tagging appropriately and keeping the word vomit out of the damn jikook tag, ughhhhhh. Sorry to vent to you, but it's just been a mess in a tag that is usually my happy place and I'm so done.
Oh sorry, idk if I'm tagging them as jikook or not. But I'll try to make sure not to if I answer any others in the future! You are right that they don't *really* belong in the jikook tag necessarily. Sorry it has caused frustration. You can probably mute the words "tkkrs" "tkkr" "taekookers" and that might help keep those specific posts out of the tag that use those words? I'm not totally sure how that works. Forgive us jkkr bloggers though because sometimes tagging can slip our minds during some of the more frustrating replies lol

I'm wrecked. The clip didn't hit me at first, it didn't even hit me in the first 30mins. I was in a state of shock maybe, like my heart was frozen to not feel too much at once. The overwhelming emotions came like crashing waves, one wave at a time, the next always more powerful than the previous ones. I didn't think that scene would hit me so hard but ... Yep, I'm wrecked. Skam France, you did great.
Anon, you are actually me sleep-writing this, right? RIGHT?! Wow. Twins. Everything I am feeling right now is a mirror of what you’ve just described.
Just like you, I am wrecked. I wish I meant that in the funny kind of way, but I really don’t. It’s heading towards midday here and I am still in bed. I just feel so overwhelmed, I can’t really get up.
Just like you, it took me a little while to feel something when I watched the clip. There was something there, I just couldn’t...access it. And the coincidental thing is that just yesterday I was telling my psychologist that I always forget that when I am numb, that is the most dangerous sign of all because it means that whatever I am actually feeling is so immense, my brain has cut me off from it for my own sake. And taa-dahhh, it happened with Skam France today.
Just like you, the emotions came in progressive waves. A gifset, not the clip, made me start to tear up. Probably because it was a good 20 mins after I had seen the clip and my brain had had time to process things and let things slip through the numbness. Then I was able to rewatch the clip and cry -- particularly seeing how upset Lucas was to see Eliott so upset. It was like a chain of sadness.
And the problem is I KNOW the clip is a beautiful, happy reunification. I know Eliott isn’t alone anymore just as Lucas said. It is a big relief. But because the clip ends so abruptly (not a criticism), I still feel caught in their emotion without a proper release. Minutt For Minutt has always been that release but because of my timezone, I can’t just go to bed and wake up with the boys, I have to live a full day without seeing their cuddles and comfort. That gap is so pronounced and painful! I’m at the stage where I feel so lost even though the sun is out and I have to get out of bed soon...
So once again, just like you, I didn’t expect to be hit this hard with a scene I had been mentally preparing for for weeks... The numbness has well and truly lifted. This is not fun.
So to end this just like you: Skam France, you did great. (Thanks for the psychology bills, David/Niels!)
Actually no, I want to end it on this: Even though it is really hard emotionally right now not to have Minutt for Minutt immediately available for comfort like really fucking hard, it is immensely comforting knowing that we are not alone on this journey either. Fandom is each other’s Lucases right now. We’re here and we’re not going to let anyone stay in the dark alone. Thank you for dropping by and inadvertently making me feel less alone.

Hey, so I've been watching dsor for a very long time and I'm really curious. Why do you like Catarina so much? Don't get me wrong, I do agree that she has an amazingly interesting story thoughtout the novela and her character in general is interesting to watch; but how can you genuinely like her and root for her to have a happy ending? Perhaps it's just my Brazilian heart speaking, since our novela's villains are expected to make the audience hate them by, at least, the second chapter.
this is going to be long as fuck, sorry about it
to start off i’m going to talk about active versus passive characters. as someone studying screenwriting we’re told that our protagonist doesn’t have to be nice to be someone the audience cares about, they just have to be active characters. an active character is one that makes decisions, that (duh) takes action and does things. they can be bad things or good things but if your character is taking action and making decisions that drive the plot, the audience will care about them because they’re not just sitting around, letting the plot happen to them, they’re doing something to achieve their goals whether their goals or actions be morally good or bad. 
passive characters, characters that don’t take action and don’t make decisions that drive the plot rather the plot just happens to them, tend to be boring to watch because they really aren’t doing anything and they’re not really doing anything to deserve a happy ending. also the more organic way to present to the audience a character and develop them is by having them make actions and choices. when you have a passive character that doesn’t take action/make choices you resort to inorganic methods of characterisation like having other characters describe the character, telling us instead of showing us. for example, another character may describe your protagonist as, “the nicest most generous person they’ve ever met!” but if we don’t see your protagonist make any specific actions/choices that shows that they are nice and generous, it’s not believable to us because as a visual medium, we don’t see any evidence that they are nice.
so back to dsor. i started this show because i saw people describing it as “brazil’s game of thrones” and saw gifsets of catarina and tbh i thought she was super beautiful. then i started it and even though amalia was “nicer” (more on that later) catarina was the one who really intrigued me because of her schemes and her political nature. also her initial storylines didn’t translate to villain to me, rather a character that was complex but had understandable and reasonable goals and motivations. she didn’t want to marry lute dude and disagreed with her father on how best to rule artena. she didn’t want to marry him because not only did she not love him nor feel any attraction or interest in him, but he wasn’t politically advantageous for her or artena, her dad literally admits he wants cat to marry him cus he thinks his daughter is mean and needs a man to “tame” her. and she disagrees with her dad on how to rule artena and how to negotiate with other kingdoms because she justifiably points out that while montemors queen is a kind and just ruler, her grandkids alfonso and especially rodolfo might not be the same so they should take advantage of montemors struggles to find water in order to demand more iron to better arm their military. augusto acts like this is a despicable thing but it’s actually the smart thing and look what happens later: rodolfo becomes king of montemor and decides to invade artena and due to montemor’s superior military strength, is able to defeat artena’s army and invades artena. had augusto listened to cat earlier, demanded/requested more iron in exchange for water and armed their troops, maybe artena wouldn’t have been invaded. cat’s actions and decisions show that she a cunning, intelligent, and political character. and some of her crueler more unreasonable actions like tricking her cousin in order to get rid of lute dude, trying to stop lute dude recovering, and trashing her room when he didn’t die made me look forward to her storylines because i couldn’t predict what choices she might make and how far she might go. catarina drove forward most of the plots/storyline of the show for the most part even though halfway through i felt that the writer changed her from occasionally hot headed yet cold and politically cunning whose ambitions meant she would always have artena’s best interests in mind to a character that was evil for the sake of it and yet obsessed with afonso even when her obsession led her to make decisions that directly contradicted her previous characterisation/motivations. unlike cersei these decisions didn’t seem to come organically as a result of continuous struggles and traumas, but rather in order to make sure the audience didn’t like her and to give amalia a villain to look like a good person in comparison to. you could say that i love cat in spite of what the writer chose because her initial storylines were good and bruna’s acting was the best. even when cat was making choices that were dumb but EVIL because she’s a “bad guy” bruna always made cat human and understandable and her emotional scenes were captivating; her speech to artena’s army gave me goosebumps.
on the other hand i found amalia to be a passive character who we’re told is super kind but aside from her healing afonso, we don’t really see her make decisions that show she’s a good person. in addition, the plot seems to just happen to her, rather than her drive the plot. afonso just shows up in a field in front of her. yes she chooses to heal him but since then she rarely makes choices of her own volition, and most of her “choices” are simply reactions to other characters choices. even amalia vs cat is just cat taking action against amalia and something in her plan going wrong or another character coming to save amalia. when amalia got angry at the people of montemor for not liking her and even printing pamphlets spreading rumours about her, instead of trying to get the people on her side by being kind to them she found the person making the pamphlets and played good cop to afonso’s bad cop threatening to imprison them. you know who did try (and succeeded) to change the people’s perception of them by treating them kindly? catarina. amalia just expects that people will think she’s nice because?? their king chose her?? there’s no reason or them to trust or like amalia because afonso choosing to marry her and no one else is actually costing the people dearly.
also it’s a medieval style fantasy tv show that deals with the politics of these various fictional kingdoms that is obviously inspired by game of thrones. whilst i have MANY gripes with game of thrones, what it consistently has done is show that a good man doesn’t necessarily make a good king. afonso may be a good man by amalia for refusing to put her aside and marry someone else but he’s a bad king for putting his feelings ahead of his nations security/wellbeing. i think afonso was meant to be a sort of jon snow type character but instead he’s more robb. and robb’s decision to put aside his betrothal in order to marry jeyne westerling cost him and the north. catarina on the other hand has shown herself to be a politically shrewd and cunning character. maybe she doesn’t deserve to be queen because of her good heart like afonso, but she’s shown she deserves to be queen because she’s the best person for the job. but yeah like you said telenovela’s typically have the bad guy get their just deserts but i think that for a show that’s specifically described itself as being inspired by game of thrones it never made any shocking and surprising choices that got/asoiaf became known for. i think the show started out really good when catarina wasn’t so much an antagonist rather an antagonistic character in an ensemble cast, but when cat changed from a character in her own right to amalia’s antagonist, i think the show’s quality went down.
tl;dr: cat is an active character who drives the plot and is a complex character and even at her cruelest bruna’s acting humanised cat and elevated the writing and she was the most interesting character by far

gonna do both cause i'm demanding: 001, j7! (if that is too controversial, bering&wells. if that is too sad, fem!shep and the blue alien lady. i'm sorry this meme request has an anxiety disorder.) and 002, hmmmMMMMMM #tbt to that time all we talked about was robin hobb: ronica vestrit.
001. I am gonna pick Bering & Wells, but I am going to regret this decision.
When I started shipping it if I did: Before I started watching the show. Tumblr had primed me with gifsets.My thoughts: Fuck everything. That’s a valid thought, right? Uh, as we all know, I loved so much about how their relationship began and changed and developed, and who they both were individually, and who they were to each other, and the choices they were making, and then the show fucked it all up.What makes me happy about them: Their complete hearteyes over each other from the word go.What makes me sad about them: I have a lot of angrysad about where the show eventually went with them. I put some of those feelings into a vid one time.Things done in fanfic that annoys me: A high proportion of fluffy marriage-and-babies fic about them that rather guts the characters for the sake of the trope.Things I look for in fanfic: I don’t read a lot of fic about them these days, but I liked fic where they got to continue being themselves and having Warehouse adventures and loving the life that they were living.Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I am not entirely here for other ships for either of them (and I have a whole separate rant about “ending up with” as the wording here, but this isn’t the place).My happily ever after for them: Pretty much the same answer as for what I look for in fic.Who is the big spoon/little spoon: It varies.What is their favorite non-sexual activity: Solving puzzles and saving the day.
002. Ronica Vestrit
How I feel about this character: Proud and competent and grumpy older lady from a stifling culture who runs her estate and keeps her emotions under wraps and steps up and does the thing under pressure. Argh. All the people I ship romantically with this character: I do like her relationship with Ephron, but also Jani Khuprus, and tbh misc/all other ladies.My non-romantic OTP for this character: I am still not sure what to make of this question.My unpopular opinion about this character: Do these books have enough of a fandom to have unpopular opinions? Idk.One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Nice things. Many ladies to enjoy herself with. Actually, I’m mostly pretty happy with her storyline, I think?My OTP: Ronica/a wide selection of interesting older women.My crossover ship: It’s sort of crossover, though it’s in the same world, but Ronica/Patience would be fun.A headcanon fact: Ronica is very, very, very queer.
