my best boy Kaul Hilo was written so well. so much baby girl put into him, so much cunt. so much love and unweavering loyalty in his family. he gives it all of himself to them even tho he knows he’s putting in more devotion than theO others. and yet, he doesn’t really try to understand them, he won’t let them be outside of what he pictures for them, what he thinks is right and would do for his family. and the author does such a good job of showing how much he adores them from his perspective but won’t try to be more understanding, to really see their struggles and who they are. he’ll jump to forgiveness and forgetting but won’t consider seeing it from their perspective. if he did that, his relationship with others would be so much better but he doen’t see it !!!!

Ah someone else who has discovered the joys of Camelot (1967) a movie that I am completely normal about. Have you watched it? Because the delivery of the lines is everything and if you need someone to talk to about it I am, once again, completely normal about it. The scene where Lancelot and Arthur first meet?? A masterpiece in sharing a single braincell. And don't even get me started on the way Guenevere first treats Lancelot "have you jousted with humility lately". It's unapologetically at the top of my Arthuriana movie rank list and has gotten me to reread The Once and Future King
I have not watched the film yet!
I've been listening to the original cast recording on Spotify but, most importantly, I've read the book of the original Broadway production (1960 libretto) and I love it?? It's a delightful little read on its own, even without having watched the musical. (I want other people to read it please it's very funny I promise)
I guess the 1967 film script won't be identical to the libretto but I assume it's fairly similar.
The scene where Lancelot meets Arthur was hilarious it made me laugh out loud. Lancelot utter puzzlement ("Gone a-Maying, Your Majesty??"). Arthur's sudden self-consciousness.
And don't even get me started on the way Guenevere first treats Lancelot "have you jousted with humility lately"
I know!! Lancelot's grating self-righteousness coupled with his complete lack of self-awareness is so funny.
And I loved the gradual tone shift. It starts out so silly and the tragedy sneaks up on you — I thought Guinevere and Lancelot's affair might be played for laughs with an oblivious Arthur but no, it turns out he's fully aware of what's going on and he's forced to watch it unfold because he's powerless to stop it? and he loves them both and doesn't want any harm to come to them even as they betray him??
(He continues talking, looking from one to the other, feverishly — painfully) — Excuse me??
and King Pellinore is hilarious, he enters the scene wearing a monocle followed by a little mongrel named Horrid and talking like a character from a P. G. Wodehouse's novel. Extremely validating because when I read that chapter in Le Morte d'Arthur in which King Pellinore first makes an appearance my first question was "is he meant to be this funny?" and the answer from this script is a resounding YES.
I think I might perhaps watch the 1968 stage production first, merely because it's available for free on Youtube (at least in the UK).
I might try hunting for a free streaming link to the 1967 film, though I don't mind renting it if I can't find it.

Bro I just got done playing this fnaf fan game that puts it into a escape room type thingy and there was one level where Music Man (classic, not DJ) was behind you and was a timer and the Classic reminds me of Omega so my brain was literally 'Yeah, Omega is behind me while I do the beginning mini game for Fnaf pizza simulator'. Sorry I felt the need to share because it was funny and a bit spooki imagining my favorite emo behind me while I try not to die lmao-
How dare u not let him play along smhhhhh

saw some people upset about tubbo coming back to the central qsmp area even after being kidnapped. and even being involved in the code attack. and like.
guys. do you think the players and admins don't talk? do you think the admins aren't aware tubbo is playing? like honestly. I don't think you are taking them seriously. they are all adults and if the admin team had any real issue with them playing they would.. tell them? so if they are being active on the server, interacting with players and eggs. I think it's safe to say it isn't that much of a problem

by the way, i finished Nadia's route for the first time and I can really confidently say that out of all the routes i've done thus far - Lucio's and Julian's finished, Asra's and Muriel's half done -, this one was the most well put together for me - which is funny, considering Nadia herself is ALSO the most well put together character in the game :')

tiny bruce, in the police station, listening to a stranger in uniform tell him they caught the shooter, realizing he still hurts every single bit as much as before, wishing it felt like "good news" like they said, wondering why it made them smile like everything was okay now.
bruce spending the rest of his life trying to manufacture that shirking sense that justice has been served, the reassuring closure that he wanted to feel in that moment. devoting everything he has to fighting the endless emptiness of loss, cursing the way every attempt to fill it vanishes into the void and only leaves him with more scars.
just another way that jason and bruce will fundamentally never understand each other--
jason can't believe that bruce really mourned him, really loved him, if he couldn't even bother to go after the guy who killed him. it should be the bare minimum for mr. vengeance and jason just feels so utterly unrespected and discarded.
jason knows that justice requires action. apathy and neglect have literally taken the lives of people he grew up with. he knows that doing nothing is sometimes the most evil thing you can do.
meanwhile bruce knows, deep in his soul, that although catching the bad guy to prevent anyone else getting hurt like this is a singularly crucial pursuit--on a personal level, it does not matter, does not make anything better, does not stitch up the giant gash in your heart.
bruce cannot let himself start another lifelong journey that is cursed to never get off the ground, cannot put that weight around his neck. he cannot fix jason's death and trying to would break him. he just can't.
he can't bring himself to do anything with the grief that's piled around him. it just stays.
