guillermo del toro’s pinocchio is a beautiful film but my god no one has adapted that story like neverafter. you can never look at it the same way again after listening to lou wilson, a black man, explaining that he chose to play as pinocchio because it’s a story about a little boy who isn’t allowed to make mistakes. that in pinocchio's story, he is fundamentally barred from childhood at once upon a time. he must earn something that everyone else is granted from birth. the other boys get to tell lies and play and get into trouble, but when pinocchio does the same thing there are grave and violent consequences. his pinocchio is trying to understand why the world is so unfair, why the rules are so different for him, why everyone else gets to be a real boy.
and I think about it every day.

okay so can we all agree to be grown ups after tonight's episode?
if we don't get bi buck; don't go after the cast
if we do get bi buck but it's ambiguous; don't go after the cast
if we get bi buck but it's tommy-centered; don't go after the cast
if we get bi buck and there's nothing that points to eddie feeling the same way; don't go after the cast
if we get bi buck and somehow they go all in with buck/tommy; don't go after the cast
in short; DO NOT GO AFTER THE CAST because i'm going to assume you're a grown up too and you love the cast and they are not responsible for the scripts

To me it looks more like the chemistry is right and Oliver definitely doesn't hate Lou!!!:)

I think you can clearly tell which fantasy high fans have never actually played a session of any TTRPG from the reaction to the Junior Year final battle alone

i think that tlt fic writers (myself included) are sleeping on matthias nonius. i think we should be making more use of him! walk w me for a second, okay? this bitch became a name that readers associated with groaning and complaining and "boring" verse - only for him to come out swinging when he actually hit the page, thereby rending us all asunder. he saved the fucking day, against all odds, and he did it while speaking in meter!!! is that not sick as hell? is that not actually fucking hilarious?? this man is so powerful, he's so cool, he's got immense swag, and i think that if you play it right, having nonius fix whatever plot drama you have going oddly makes sense (the way it did in htn). using deus ex nonius in your fics is an option, and i think we could all benefit from it

i just noticed the scar (+bruise?) on lou's forearm in the coffee date scene and my mind is latching onto it, wondering how tommy got it like was it on the job? in the army? something else? his car lift?
