Ok so my friend said that Ice King is basically an anime girl (huge ass, keeps getting in situations where his muumuu gets blown to reveal said huge ass, has a gay little run, etc.) And I um. My hand slipped. 😇
"Why do you have so many names?"
"Comment?"
"Names. Joseph, Paul—names."
"Oui, oui. Alors. So many before me, they make dead in battle. And so ma mère, she want me have protection of heaven. And so, Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier."
"What do I call you then?"
"Gilbert."
THÉODORE PELLERIN as GILBERT DU MOTIER, THE MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE
EVERY LAFAYETTE SCENE, 2/? ✧ 1x01, FRANKLIN (2024)
Obsessed with Wyll marking periods of time as "a [random living creature]'s age". The ruins have been empty for "an elf's age." he hasn't twinkled his toes in "a badger's age". Wyll just knows the average life spans of every living creature and uses it to tell time the way an American football fan would use the length of a field to tell distance.
was looking through pop culture references to aaron burr over the centuries today (which omfg the amount of aaron burr fanfic from the 1800s is crazy) and found this one talkshow from the 1960s with an episode about hamilton and burr and it was so funny 😭😭 they danced together
show was season 12 episode 20 of the jack benny program
i dont have this as a coherent argument but there's something about bbc ghosts that is just so much more. genuine? than the american one. and I only watched like 2 episodes of the cbs one but still. to me i think it suffered from that marvel-ification "he's behind me isnt he?" wink wonk cheesy like. exaggeration in a way that wasnt purposeful or sincere. the whole everyone is beautiful and no one is horny situation. whereas in bbc ghosts the whole show is a little bit rough around the edges and ugly and imperfect in a way that makes it infinitely more endearing. I'd rather watch a theater production where someone occasionally misses a cue but the people care and have something to say, rather than a perfectly airbrushed and photoshopped one that talks a lot and says nothing. yknow?
Raz tells Sasha about the conversation he and Oleander had in the bowling alley, or just the bit about "He said he didn't even know where your accent was from."
Smash cut to Sasha busting into Oleander's office like "WHAT DO YOU *MEAN* YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE MY ACCENT COMES FROM?? YOU'RE WEARING A REPLICA WORLD-WAR-ONE GERMAN HELMET!"
Oleander now has to explain how he keeps cosplaying as a german soldier while being a war-movie-loving nerd and yet DOESN'T RECOGNIZE GERMAN.
oleander just walking around dressed like that is so hilarious when you really think about it.
