merlin writers made an absolute litany of insane crazy /neg decisions over the course of the television program but. making merlin's first love the lady of the lake at the start of the show and then making him give the love of his life to her at the end. fucken based. absolutely red pilled.

#merlin #merlin bbc #bbc merlin #merthur #freya merlin #merlin/freya #arthur pendragon #like i fundamentally disagree with like half the changes they made to some of the legends in this show #but holy SHIT. this one. absolute fucking chad move. #giving the lady of the lake this connection to the audience and this connection to merlin #and in turn this connection to arthur! #and the audience is at least passingly familiar with the last of the lake and her habit of handing out swords #but to tie her so fundamentally to merlin #and to know this ache of her follows him and he can never be free of her #and he can never be free of arthur #he carrie's them with him even when the lake has dried and he's visiting a grass field every day #he could only meet them at the muddy bank and even that is eventually taken from him #jiminy h christmas.

S3 is underrated bc it comes off so meaningless the entire time, when in reality it’s the opposite. The jokes in particular were top notch and it’s because most of them went over everyone’s heads. Like, do people even know that they hinted at Robin being lesbian right at the start of s3???

#byler #stranger things #queer-coding #not Steve turning off Robin so much the entire city shuts down 😭 #peak comedy #s3 was so camp #like everyone thinks of it as filler #and it is #the duffers themsleves admitted s3 was them playing in the sandbox #but I think one pro to that #is they can hide really unhinged meanings beneath the surface #and get away with it! #like imagine having dozens of deeper references/meanings only for your audience to say it was boring and nothing happened??… #I would be chilling #knowing that when the story is complete with 5 parts #they’re gonna look back and go #holy shit #these bitches are gay!!

i was having some wordgirl reboot thoughts and then embarked on a 9+ hour straight journey i can never take back (my hands and back hurt so much) (i have never drawn so much in such a short period of time) 

also im sorry the quality is so bad; i just hope theyre clear enough to see!

#turtlearts #wordgirl #wg #character design #character lineup #im not tagging all of them im sorry #it was so fuckin hard drawing them all and making sure they look to scale...... even now they look a little off #i want to color these but im not sure how long it will take because holy shit thats a lot!!! #chucks design is my favorite. hes supposed to have a picnic blanket patterned handkerchief thingy bc sandwich ahha #lady redundie is super techno now becuase i wanted her to look more like a copy machine. not sure if that came across right bc she just - #looks like a mettaton clone ToT sorry #also im so sorry but i gave everybody pockets because my kids... need snakcs. what if they want. to hold hting. item #also the tallest is miss power full stop. i wanted her to be the most physically intimidating #also damn shes hot. sorry #anyways if u read the tags this far feel free to suggest ur favorite wordgirl guy and i might add to this! its very fun #also im not sure if i did a good job but the kids are like. 14-15 here bc if wordgirl ever got rebooted itd be targeted for a somewhat- #older audience. bc all the wordgirl enjoyers are all in their teens and early 20s now LMAO #they look so baby here tho so im not sure i did a good job at that T_T #also i love rhyme and reason so much. #let me know what u think i care so much O_O #blease #now if youll excuse me im gonna go and explosion gif and fart with reverb sfx

i've watched a lot of good films lately in an attempt to catch up with a bunch of movies that have come out recently, but talk to me was the best movie i've seen in a LONG time

#i put off watching it for so long because i was sure it was overrated + i'm generally not a fan of possession movies #(because so many of them try to be the exorcist and they will never be the exorcist. you know how it is) #but holy shit. genuinely a brilliant movie in every aspect of filmmaking + completely aligned with my personal taste #+ exactly what i look for thematically in possession and/or ghost movies #+ the absolute perfect balance between psychological and gory #and like i said SUCH a good cold opening #tbh i think it's a useful trick to know how to get your audience to buy into a supernatural premise from the very first scene #i think that takes some VERY effective + skillful writing and directing #and as someone who again typically does NOT like possession movies i usually end the movie NEVER buying into the story #not because i'm a 'skeptic' or whatever just because the writing doesn't do the work #but SCENE ONE of this movie i was so in it #anyway. movee of all time to me #also from the trailers etc i had thought that that fluffy yellow sweatshirt mia wears at the beginning of the movie was a bathrobe lmao #my first impression of what this movie was gonna be like was NOT correct #anyway 'recently' means in the past 2 years i guess? #actually maybe this post was a lie because i LOVED nope which was also just an absolute cinematic masterpiece #anytime i watch a jordan peele movie it's just like. this man is so far beyond any other filmmaker out there right now #it's almost unfair to watch lol like an olympic gold medalist running laps around a middle school track team #anyway ummm. yeah talk to me was good though

the other thing about the bit with the drink in glass onion is i IMMEDIATELY said “cos of the pineapple, right?” and then the whole ooohohooo it was poooisoned and i was like. hehehe i know it wasn’t. now let’s see...

#lily dot tee ex tee #i didnt know if it was gonna be an accident or a fakeout like it was #but holy shit a good mystery that lets the audience absorb the same clues that the detective does #so we can figure things out for ourselves #EVEN when there's entire scenes and backstory and context that's kept hidden to preserve surprises #rian johnson you have outdone yourself once again. #knives out #glass onion #glass onion spoilers #also while im talking about rian johnson. last jedi is the best mainline star wars film since the original fuck you #knives out spoilers #<- covering my bases yknow #blancverse

its so mindboggling that people can go “how can you say free palestine if you’re queer” as if the opinions a person has changes the validity of their life??? yall sound real similar to the people saying trans people are a danger to society

#like how can you seperate that #mass murder of a group based on something they habe zero control over is wrong full stop #stg though i see this So Much and it makes zero sense #yeah ok i dont like the values the far right holds but i dont think they should all die? #and like also completely disregards even the *possibility* that there are queer ppl in palestine? #So Interesting to me bc as soon as you can depersonalize ot suddenly you side with the oppressors #i just actually cant stop thinking abt this #like how can you say ‘trans rights’ and then turn around and ignore the bombing of hospitals #how can you say ‘equal rights’ for any marginalized community while not seeing this as a genocide #whats different? #genuinely what is different #yall literally sound like the transphobes trying to say most people regret transitioning when there’s overwhelming evidence this isnt true #like holy texts didnt matter when they were used against gay ppl but now you use it as justification for the mass slaughter of palestinians #obviously not to say the bible actually said any shit against gay people but like. yall fr #since when have we let people’s *interpretation* of holy texts validate murder #what is different #i know im prolly preaching to the choir and also im lowkey terrified of this reaching an audience that disagrees #bc i am not prepared to come up w evidence based arguments #i do not have time for that #rambles

God bless Russell T. Davies, patron saint of respecting the audience

#doctor who #dr who #rtd #russell t davies #just watch the second special #I died #Rtd writes like he expects audiences to actually watch the episode and never pulls a crappy gotcha just because he has the power #Like yeah I KNOW bringing Tennant and Tate back was because Chibnall almost destroyed the brand and they needed to pull it back but OHHH #they gave us an actual STORY #They invented another beautiful cosmic horror #They gave us banter and wit without it being snippy or disrespectful or “oohooohhh look at how clever I am” wank #This episode only had two actors in it and still had enough moving pieces to make one delicious puzzle #I cannot WAIT to see what they do with the regeneration #Ncuti Gatwa is walking into an environment primed by RTD to make people feel ready to WATCH #To experience entertainment that brings you back from week to week under a man who actually knows how to craft STORIES! #Holy shit I forgot how much I used to love this show #And now I remember #Big fucken heart eyes emoji

Whenever i see an artist go all "reblogs are better than likes! always reblog an artist to help them!!" i just unfollow them or block them i'm sorry. I'm super sorry that someone convinced you to be incredibly annoying because this kind of shit almost definetly hurts you more than it helps

#like it's one thing to inform people of what likes and reblogs do and how people use them #and both are good! letting an artist know you like their work is good actually. it boosts morale #but if you've been convinced to actually start begging people to reblog and telling them likes aren't good enough? #holy SHIT man you're alienating your audience you're actively being hostile to them #who told you this was a good idea

"Maybe his children knew. They were small when things changed, too small to have a memory, but maybe they did. Maybe they knew. But they were so small, what could they have remembered? Could they have remembered they once had a mother and an aunt, and not a father? Maybe not. But Eldigan found himself wondering: did it matter?"

this fic is for an au me and my friend came up with that basically consists of lachesis taking eldigan's identity after his death. this fic deals specifically with how the children view the situation and what they think is going on. i wrote this specifically to make myself sad

#eli.txt #i havent posted a fic since january last year. thumbs up! #i dont know how to explain what this fic is about lolll #fire emblem #fire emblem genealogy of the holy war #fe4 #fire emblem 4 #uh. how are you supposed to tag this shit ! #whatever. this will find its audience (my bestie)

thought id update to say; i survived opening night!!! and not only that, it went REALLY fucking well, and people seemed to REALLY REALLY like it omfg... god this is so crazy

#i was literally holding the script in a bigass binder for almost the entire show (sparing only the parts where i had to BULLFIGHT) #(bc i needed two hands -- one for the cape & one for the banderilla.)(yall i had to learn how to BULLFIGHT TANGO & SWORDFIGHT. in TWO DAYS) #but the audience said afterwards it was like i wasnt even on-book; they hardly noticed it was there??!! #yall this is my real life rn. im failing my classes but yknow what?? #i can pull it together enough to emergency understudy in a highly physical show 2 days before opening even with a script ive never SEEN #and apparently we made people fucking CRY. HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT #this playwright is just. incredible. the script is INSANE. BEAUTIFUL & CLEVER & HILARIOUS & TERRIFYING & VILE & TENDER & TECHNICALLY PERFECT #and apparently our production is like. only the eighth time this show has EVER been produced. for real #but god EVERYONE should know about this playwright's work. fuck i actually think tumblr would really love her. holy shit. #maría irene forn��s is her name -- she was a queer cuban-american playwright+director who made radical heartwrenching magical theatre #im so grateful to be doing this & SO fucking sad for the original performer im covering for... god. bc this is just such lifechanging work #this play is queer in EVERY sense. its off-putting loving repulsive peculiar passionate holy and GAY AS HELL. its real its farce its SO CAMP #((IRENE & SUSAN SONTAG DATED. SONTAG AS IN 'NOTES ON ''CAMP''' SONTAG. ITS FUCKING GORGEOUS.)) #its gorgeous its gorey its glamourous its also literally the first part ive played that i think might truly fit my casting type exactly lmao #which is INSANE. bc the character is literally just described in the script as ''ISIDORE: an androgynous clown'' LMFAO #but honestly what could be more homoerotic than 2 ''men'' locked in a room together dancing tango+talking abt beetles+stabbing each other #hmm. maybe its the fact that after i stab the other guy i call him ''saint sebastian'' and then we LITERAL ACTUAL GAY KISS #which is crazy bc we only practiced that ONE TIME before opening #and youd think this shit cant get Any Gayer BUT. IT DOES. bc my scene partner+the director are gay+together irl... and uhh. #ive literally been their third. like. more than once. #ISNT THAT FUCKING INSANE. THIS IS MY REAL LIFE?? THIS IS MY REAL LIFE #ANYWAY #so now im headed back out to rehearse more before we perform it again tonight lmao #i hope it goes as well as it did last night #that audience was fucking incredible i really hope the next two like it as much as they did🤞🤞 knocking on wood #so. if u read this far. u should go find+read ''tango palace'' by maría irene fornés. mwah okay bye #bee speaks

❤ best double life parining?

🌓 (idk if thats the right emoji) opinions on watcher lore?

tbh i really like bigb and ren for double life i have not watched that pov at alll but the pairing is just like. yeah. that makes so much sense. im also very fond of joel and etho for. obvious reasons

and uagh. fucking. watchers. like ive never watched evo i dont have that context but i just. hate how everyone makes everything watchers all the time forever and like okay fine do whatever you want but like. if you wanna do watcher shit like at least know abt the actual canon not just the fanon. and keep watcher shit around the ppl involved in evo or the ones who have continued to do shit with it dont just like choose a random block guy and be like oh hee hee watcher things

#original post tag #ask tag #idk i have. complicated watcher feelings #bc like afaik. watchers are literally just the audience. like thats all it fucking is. #some watcher stories are interesting but most are just the same old oooh evil watchers shit iver and over and im fucking like. none of you #know anything at all abt all of this #additionally like. once saw someone be like omg joels esmp2 finale. it was the watchers!!!! made me wanna scream bc. holy shit get over #yourself its not always watchers. joel isnt fucking associated w them at all it was his own fucking lore from what hed made in empires. #shut the fuck up. #anyway #hdhdkdhjdhd

what is your opinion on gnomeo and juliet (2011)

they got rid of mercutio 0/10

#fr like every other major character is in it cmon where’s my boy!!! #(​actually i don’t think the prince is in it either) #they combined benvolio and mercutio into a single character that sucks man they have so much banter :( #he doesn’t even die :( #benvolio is the more reasonable one and mercutio is the more silly one and they made him into a single guy named benny. what the fuck #cowards. let children learn how to pronounce benvolio and mercutio #also weird point to get stuck on but why are they british. i know this is. an au to say the least. but them being british confuses me #also also why is the cast so fucking famous like holy shit #i was double checking about mercutio but. i saw the voice actors. what the hell #do like the elton john music tho i’ll give them that much #crazwaz posted #audience participation #romeo and juliet #shakespeare

it’s crazy we’re not only getting the draluc/mira stuff animated so early but we’re getting it before we get the introduction to hiyoshi (ronald’s older brother) something that happens wayyyy earlier in the manga, rip to your family ronald but draluc’s family drama just seems to be built different

#rip to anime only watchers who still don't know who the vamp. division commander is bc they keep putting off animating the chapters #but WOW mira before hiyoshi?? im actually surprised #and i just checked hiyoshi is like ch 49 or smth? mira is like 144/145 holy shit we're REALLY far ahead #the vampire dies in no time #maybe we're getting mira so early bc the animators wanna give ronald more time to have dignity b4 the audience learns hes a brocon LMAOOO

when kpop stans say something "is deep" or "has depth" it is recommended you imagine a puddle to start with, then adjust accordingly

#depth = the order of the scenes in the mv allows the audience to surmise there's some kinda sequence of events situation going on #depth = the song has lyrics and the lyrics are words which have meanings #depth = the lyrics turn out to be something different than 'bing bang bong i love you dumdari barabam you're very handsome' #DEPTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! = the lyrics are sad #shrimp thoughts #i know they're all fucking 14 and watch tiktoks instead of paying attention in class but holy shit
