#to have two such amazing actors

[procrastiel]

so we’re all here talking about Michael’s micro-expressions but did you look at David’s face right after he heard ‘I forgive you’ because he was blinking a few times behind the glasses and I-

#maybe Crowley left because he didn’t want Aziraphale to see his tears #is all im saying #and maybe he was wiping his face when Az was still talking to Metatron in the shop #David was fucking acting BEHIND THE GLASSES #they are both such masters of their craft #we are so blessed #to have two such amazing actors #and a writer who knows how to put their talents to good use #this scene was so powerful they didn’t even have to enhance it with camera angles and such #I’m just #imma #/sobbing #david tennant #michael sheen #dt with sauce #the sheen #good omens

im loving the fact that tommy is an established character with established relationships with the 118, just like karen, just like athena, just like maddie, because that was a huge thing that made it a part of why i think it was so hard to like bucks previous love interests.

like, yes. abby and taylor tried to gel with them, ali kinda knew OF them, but natalia was completely seperate and lucy wasnt even really a love interest. neither of the main 2 (abby and taylor) actually had any link to anyone other than buck. taylor was the closest (but she fucked that up badly lmao).

im so hyped to see whether we get more of tommy and the 118, because he has history with all of them, except eddie (who he's now good friends with), and buck (who he is now dating).

if you look at all the other 'partners', they are all a part of the 118 family, and pretty linked together: athena is besties with hen and married to bobby, karen lived across from and was good friends with chimney and is now married to hen, maddie is bucks brother and is married to chimney, etc.

i feel like bucks other love interests were only ever linked to him, and he always worried about losing them, because he didnt think he was good enough.

but this time with tommy the difference is (tommy actually cares about buck) that hes known by his family and hes safe and hes confident and caring and patient, plus the rest of the 118 all think hes a good guy, and also tommy saved bathena and chimney and hes friends with eddie, and christopher likes him, etc.

everybody that matters to buck, except maddie, likes and knows tommy.

(and who is he going to introduce tommy to next episode? maddie.)

maybe buck doesnt have to worry so much about him leaving, like abby did, or worry how to introduce tommy to his family and not have him run for the hills from the complex parts of his life, like natalia or ali did

because tommys already halfway in it yknow?

#this was longer than i planned sjdjsjdus #words just ran away from me #having brainrot over these two and buck and his growth so far and im so thankfuo we have these amazing actors portraying these characters #and that they CARE so much #its so nicee #also everybody say thankyou tim minear oliver stark lou ferrigno jr and abc #plus many more but its a lotta names #please let us keep lfjr i BEG #bucktommy #evan buck buckley #tommy kinard #ace rambles

Joseph Quinn as Billy Knight: Strike // Lethal White

#joseph quinn #strike #lethal white #ok so I have not giffed any strike for the last two series because I really have struggled with the ethics of it #even though I don't pay anything to watch it #is it ok to gif faces of actors I love and say look I love these people #even when they're in problematic media #ugh I just DON'T KNOW especially as ok I have giffed media by problem people probably all my gif life #but also a lot of those people are now dead and not wielding power in the current world #what I do know is this is the only series where I am not just looking at TOM BURKE'S FACE all the time #because joseph is FUCKING AMAZING in it and even on a third watch he's magnetic and it's so hard to watch #because billy is so fucked up and damaged and traumatised yet soft and sweet and man that is just joseph's forte isn't it #and I just want to look at his face all the time these days #my wee gifs

For Gatwa, Tennant has been a “guiding therapist father figure,” advising him about “the things to read, and the things not to read.”

I love their dynamic. RTDs two favourite barbies getting along so well is so sweet

Daddies (and my) two little favorites. And the fact that they have a “real recognizes real” situation is killing me.

#two of your favorite actors being besties is amazing but then one of them also having a friendly mentor relationship is….yas

Saw spidiverse when it came out Thursday and it went so hard, possibly one of my favorite movies ever, I love everyone in it and I'm excited for next year (I think?) When they release the followup!

That being said. Team chaiflower. It's so cute.

#blue speaks #across the spiderverse #ig? #uh and #chaiflower #might do smth with that #this goes by saying that gwen is absolutely in love with miles just as he is with her make no mistake i love those two #but this is what fanon and fanfic is for #Pavitr is Miles' besties to maybe more 👀 in my mind like #u can so easily do the 'you saves and helped me in my time of need so il do the same ive got ur back' and theyre just both so #cute #genuinely got me being like omg the 4 kids can be poly actually heart WARMED but also theyre all amazing platonic besties #the chemistry between actors? IMMACULATE #they genuinely seem like such a neat group all 4 together that they can have any dynamic #which is so hard to pull off with 4 characters w/o it falling a lil flat or one sided #and even if they dont all share the same amount of screen time #they have SUCH an impact on the story and themes and on each other i just #chefs kiss

#tv: hannibal #hannibaledit #tvedit #devastating #completely devastating #i still think this is one of the best scenes of the series #it's so emotional and honest and just hard to watch #in this show that is so hightened #to have this really grounded storyline about the effect of terminal illness on a long term relationship #just makes it all the more heartbreaking #especially since not only are these two amazing actors #but they were married at the time #so they bring all the more depth and emotion to the scene #it's really amazing #character: jack crawford #character: bella crawford #things i made

the weird thing about the sarah hess interview (there are a lot of weird things about that interview but if i talked about all of them this would be the length of a phd dissertation) is that, like, if you want us to give some sympathy to aegon and acknowledge the complexities behind him not wanting to rule but wanting it and his relationship with alicent and his siblings and rhaenyra and all that without the audience getting hung up on him being a rapist, don’t write him being a rapist? you are a writer on the show sarah, you’re the one who decides and this was an easily solvable problem

#personal #house of the dragon #this is especially galling because i actually quite like the rest of what they're doing with aegon #like for one the actor is quite good he's one of the few parts of that horrid domina show that i actually like #for two everything that was goin on in sunday's episode was doing a lot #like his scene with aemond and then with alicent where he asks if she loves him and his coronation #and then with rhaenys and meleys when alicent steps up to protect him and all that it was solid work for the character #and his relationships with the people in his life #so you could have quite literally just nixed the rape thing and it wouldn't have even mattered? this isn't affecting the plot at all?? #i'd say she can't write him well but i don't think she can write any of these characters well #like she wants us to woobify aegon but after writing him doing vile shit #she isn't giving anything for helaena beyond 'is a dragondreamer and mayyyyybe autism coded' #(and whether or not that's offensive is for someone else as i'm not autistic and can't speak to that) #she flattens out all of rhaenyra's bad traits but makes her a stupid politician #she HATES daemon for whatever reason why is why so much of that bullshit surrounding ep 6 happened #she (and the rest of the writers) have put no effort into giving any depth to corlys or rhaenys or ANY of the velaryon kids #just weird writing choices that are basically the writers getting in their own way #because there's good characterizations here #as i've said everything else with aegon was interesting (and that scene with him encouraging jace with his dragon was v sweet) #and helaena being a dreamer is good and daemon and rhaenyra and alicent are also characters with amazing complexities #and this thing they're doing with daemon in particular and his whole 'wants to be loved' shtick is fun #but they can't get out of their own way and do weird fucking nonsense #and then complain when the audience doesn't get it #you are the person making the story you can bend this story to your will you know!!!!! you can write these characters!!!

i don’t know where to find other people who were disappointed in Geekish Celibacy Advocates Gotta Go to commiserate with. don’t wanna clog up the main tag with negativity because people just browsing abojt a musical they like don’t need that. but holy shit was this show a letdown for me and i cant find one other comment or review anywhere that acknowledges Any flaws :(

edit: censored the name of the show and didn’t tag @ all w/ the show’s name, but this’ll still pop up in searches for starkid and the effort required to edit tags on tumblr is INSANE, so i’m adding Starkid Negativity to the front of the post for blocking purposes of anypony doesn’t want this in their search!

#starkid negativity #letdown for a lot of reasons but it’s still probably just a 5/10 #it isn’t. horrible. i just do not get in Any Way the praise being lathered on it #especially the music #it wasn’t even that funny :( #i’ve never felt like one or two actors have ever CARRIED a starkid show alone before #max and chastity being the ones who carried hardcore here #they were funny and well written and even got most of the Not Bad songs in the show. good for them #but a lot of what they’re surrounded by is just :( underwhelming #i didn’t expect the Story here to be AMAZING WOWWWW bc that’s rarely what i watch starkid for. twisted knocked it out of the park but #for the most part starkid shows aren’t drawing me in with their Plots #the comedy and fun music and nice acting is the appeal for me and this show only really had 1 of the 3 in spades :( #that’s the acting. the acting was good nobody phoned it they were all clearly acting their asses off and enjoying themselves. that’s great #would’ve been greater if they jokes they were delivering and the songs they were singing were #also good #i’ve been a starkid fan since before the third very potter musical dropped* #i usually love starkid’s productions. they were a very good portion of my childhood and adolescence #trying to keep my criticisms here focused on Being Subjective. not saying any of my thoughts here are objective facts abt the show #using a lot of I Feel and To Me statements here. if this does show up in the N//P//M//D tags i’m not saying anybody is dumb or wrong #for liking it. if they did like it #but For Me this show really was a letdown compared to the rest of the starkid catalogue #starkid is allowed to change and evolve. of course it is and it deserves to. but id hope that a Starkid Spirit remains as a througline for #their entire catalogue #yknow. the quintessential essence of Star Kid. and it didn’t feel very present here :( #i have removed the title of the show from the post and it isn’t in the tags. but i’m gonna add a tag for blacklisting just in case

looking at the bl industry’s history i’m surprised we got offgun in not me tbh like…offgun is The thai ship yknow? they’ve gone above and beyond anyone who came before and they’re setting impossibly impressive standards for other bl ships coming in. nobody compares, we’re spoilt. and!!! even their non bl/non ship activities and projects are amazing!!! incredible kings

THEY REALLY ARE!!! amen to everything you're saying, offgun's influence is NOT to be understated in the bl world! not only are they both incredibly talented on many fronts, take care of their fans in an unmatched manner, have invented so many of the cutest fandom things ever created, have the best professional and friendly relationship, and are LITERALLY the oldest bl pairing still together... but I've stated it before & wanna state it again bc you brought up not me, but they took an INCREDIBLE risk with this series. granted, when they signed onto it they didn't know it'd be this political & important, but p'nuchie & the crew have said that offgun really are politically aware, and frankly them staring in not me could've really damaged their reputation, seeing how censored & ignored by the thai entertainment industry the show was. so personally I am NOT surprised offgun starred in not me in the slightest, bc they were truly the only ship who could've done that 😌💅

xxx

#answers #offgun #not me #ngl every day I still wonder HOW I got so lucky with not me #not only it being an amazing show through & through - but then it having offgun - it having off & mond aka my two loves - #having first gawin sing & film who were already actors I loved and literally couldn't have been chosen better - #having papang & lookjun who became some of my ultimate underrated faves thanks to their roles in it #like the alignment of the perfect fucking cast AND the most incredible fucking story is the fucking luckiest thing that has ever happened #and the fact is: not me didn't even have to slay & I still would've loved in on principle bc of the cast. BUT IT STILL FUCKING DID!!! #anyways my weekly not me rant is over lol

"je suis l'élue"

#watching 13x5 #Gotta use this in a video sometime #it's nice the lines you kinda gain and lose in different languages #bc some just lend themselves to recontextualising in a video better than others you know? #like for example in english “theres nowhere near enough of it” has this...finality #gut punch of catastrophe #lends itself very well to taking and putting into other contexts #which ive done with that line #in french that one doesnt let you do that so easily #but vice versa i think 'je suis l'élue' has this recontextualisation facto that 'im the one' doesnt really #it's about a combination of words+delivery #i think it's about rhythm a lot too. bc the french voice actors really do an amazing job at matching the original line deliveries #but Im The One has 3 syllables whereas Je Suis L'éLue has 4 #similarly theres-No-where-Near-e-Nough-of-It has an up and down #that 'il en manque énormément' just doesnt #the english line has a beat while the french one more unfurls #it does have a bit of a rhyme with manque and -ment maybe #ilenmanque-énormément #two parts #anyway thats language thoughts of the evening

That Sylvia didn't know from the beginning of shooting the show about Mother Superion having been a halo bearer before is absolutely wild based on her performance. Talk about intuition...

#i recall another interview of hers where she talks about the reaction the acting teacher had to her first time on stage or something #“that's talent!” -- indeed it is indeed it is... #(don't mind me i'm just youtube diving for a sec) #silly blabbering #i could never be a script writer. she mentions two s1 episodes having been reworked in the middle of shooting some others #no guys seriously how do you rework something as it's happening lol braver than any us marine #there's a reason why i write and rewrite my stories and even my essays before i ever post them -- why i take months to complete a text #and why if ever i do lose my mind and write a multichap story it will be fully written before i ever post the first chapter #i can do improv rather well -- i did a few theatre classes and i can do beautiful ass pulls in the middle of an rpg session #but when i have a story to tell i have a vision to adhere to and nobody apart from my best friend sees that progress that back and forth #it's pretty cool that the writers changed a few things after getting to know the actors (and sylvia had mentioned that before as well) #but jeez i just would not be able to do it. kudos to every screenwriter playwright out there #since it's not just putting parts of the story out -- it's doing so for actors to read and perform. amazing #random edit to add that she?? did boxing for three years??? mamma mia aiutami

I thought the atla netflix costumes were fine /not big on sokkas but they seemed fine and cartoony which is GOOD because FUCK SERIOUS live action shit. Did ya'll se Peter pan and wendy/ Little mermaid trailers/ Bland and dull. COLOR is good . Let the characters look lively. realisim is boring i dont care about realism outside of it being a war in a show where people bend elements . Im hoping its not serious also they are promo pics i doubt they look that vibrant in the show/ as for zukos scar not being realisitc enough still better than th atla movie/ i withhold judgement for the new show until a real trailer comes out cause man that one we got was a letdown / i got nothing to say about sokkas actor but Katara is not white they just keep showing lighten pics of her the actress is not white. Shes as perfect katara.

#atla #atla netflix #my two cents no one asked for #saw people saying katar actress is white/pale she darker than me im white as a ghost #people ar too picky online i still cant believe people bullied actors over a la lilo/stitch as if LA disney are ever any good its gonna suc #the reason i have mor hope for this LA one is that it didnt look serious in the promo pics and they dont hate the original source #disney acts like thy do something so amazing with their LA and insult fans and thte original so fuck disney LA they are cashcows #is my adhd brain rambling here.. could be xd

jam i have a question. who is eliot spencer... where is he from. what makes him ur number one blorbo and what do u understand abt him that no one else does <3

partridge thank you so much for this ask i need you to know you made my entire morning. eliot spencer is. my specialest guy my blorbo of all time i love him so so so so much. he's from the tv show leverage, which aired from 2008-2012* and isn't immune to the downfalls of that era of tv in general but that. honestly does a comparatively outstanding job to ME. it holds up and also the premise is "what if these extremely competent hot thieves ruined shitty rich people's lives and helped the people who'd been victimized by the rich people and created a found family together after all having various levels of sad backstory? and there was an ot3 made as canon as the showrunners could possibly make it in 2012?" i'm getting ahead of myself though.

*there's a sequel currently airing but i have yet to watch it & there's certain aspects about it that i refuse to accept as canon (this is a part of me being the most right about eliot)

i am putting this under the cut because. well. this got long

to start with context. having my brain rewired by supernatural and captain america: the winter soldier when i was a teenager is a huge factor in like. *waves hands vaguely* everything. when it comes to how i came to love leverage and eliot specifically. i got driven away from spn because (to simplify things) the showrunners hated the fans so bad and the characters were fighting the narrative but unable to escape it, and i loved the version of the characters that was actively being opposed by the show. and that was just plain not enjoyable for me. and marvel is marvel and continuity of emotional and interpersonal arcs doesn't matter at all to them.

and the thing is i took a sociology class in 2017 and it was making me so upset learning about white collar crime. and @canis-la-trans was like. we are watching leverage now. to remedy this. and i'd tried watching it with him before but this time around it just clicked. and the biggest part of what clicked is eliot. because listen. eliot is in somewhat of the same category as my earlier favorite characters but the thing about eliot spencer is that all of his best qualities are canon, not fanon. he redefines the category. he's incomprable. to me.

the thing about eliot spencer is he's the punchboy. he's the hitter. it's his job to get in the fights and protect the team. and he does his best to come across as grumpy, as not caring about people, does his best to fly under the radar as just another unintelligent lackey with a short temper who's particularly talented at violence.

but that's a performance. canonically that's a performance. and he has the best work/life separation of the whole team. he's not his job - he's very good at his job, and it's what he does and that is a part of him, but where some of the other characters view their job as an extension of their selfhood, eliot doesn't.

he cooks. he cooks so well that he could do that professionally. he grows all his own produce (allegedly). he's one of if not the best person on the team with kids. he loves so wholly so fast. he's the first person to call the team a we. within team dynamics he & sophie, the grifter, protect the other 2 from the worst of the team leader's dysfunction.

eliot's done bad things in the past. and he views himself completely past saving. like. from commentary on the show: he knows he's going to hell. like. his self worth is completely abysmal. i know he would die for the team. in s2e2 there's an episode where the team isn't succeeding at the con, and he takes the fall on purpose. and in a conversation about that he says "i'm not diving on a grenade. i'll be all right" but he says that so readily that i Know he's thought about it. and he would. for the team he would. for parker and hardison he would. he's in love with them. and they're in love with him too and i have to cut myself off or i'll go an entire separate rant about them!!!!

he has long hair. which he straightens. and he looks great with blood on his face. he doesn't use guns. he never throws the con for personal reasons - only ever does to protect kids. he grew up in rural oklahoma and he enlisted to get the hell out of dodge and he got in such a bad argument with his dad the night before he shipped out that he got disowned. and he can't even talk about it until nearly the end of the final season of the show. he never once mentions his mom. and i just know he got disowned for coming out, intentionally or not. he's never had an environment he could be his full self in without fear until the team.

parker, the thief of the team, is intentionally written as autistic; the hacker, hardison, is so likely written to have adhd. and eliot is autistic too, to me. it makes the level of performing masculinity to closet himself so much more insane to me. bc it's also masking. and adding that context to eliot and parker's relationship makes me unWELL.

the thing is is that eliot is a character who's hiding, who's actively doing his best to be unnoticed. and so many people who watch the show fall for the act, even if they don't fall for the whole act they fall for parts of it, and like. They Are Wrong About Him. i have an entire complex backstory thought up for eliot, because i think the only thing sadder than him missing out on the kind of connection he finds with the team is him knowing what he's missing because he had a queer best friend as a kid, & the two of them were closeted together, but he lost contact with her over the years.

the thing is that eliot spencer has SO MUCH GENDER and i know if he and parker and hardison adopted a kid eliot would be ma. never dad. and i don't think he'd even be able to start exploring that for himself until the end of the series.

the thing is eliot spencer would listen to the mountain goats. and there's a couple other people out there who are right about that and it makes me so insane 100% of the time.

and i love him and this is just a list of facts about him and the most important thing about eliot spencer to me is that. he exists in motion. trying to capture a still image or static description in words never works. but he's my wife and i love him so much. and i always will. and i'm writing a fic where i'm going to blow him up. just a little bit. for his own good. this is my "eliot made himself a mountain goats mix tape about knowing he's willing to jump on a bomb for parker and hardison & never telling them that in advance" playlist from that universe.

all of leverage is availible for free streaming on imdb tv & here are thee best leverage fanvids of all time:

& this last vid is abt the show in general, not just the ot3:

i would add all my fave eliot pics i have screenshotted but this is already so long . i still might rb and do that anyways he is Everything to me

#jam replies #boyjoan #this is 800 years long. i love eliot spencer so bad #the thing about leverage is that without even touching on eliot. this show went 'this autistic girl's special interest is stealing #& crime. why would you ever stop her from doing the stealing and crime' and they're so right for that. #parker isn't the pov character but she's the main character to me. nate is the narrator not the hero #literally though leverage has it all. fake dating. characters handcuffed together for an episode. episodes about historical crimes where #the actors play younger versions of characters from the past. murder mystery costume party where an actual murder happens that they have to #solve. baseball episode. 2 hockey episodes. eliot spencer sings and plays guitar with jo from supernatural. hardison makes their undercover #names dr. who references. there's a reference to the mcelroys. there's two episodes that tell the story of the same night 'off' from 2 #different points of view. #eliot is a horsegirl. #i cannot put into words how amazing this show is it loves the fans so much & it's so clever and so good at like. being a story. and #character & emotional continuity is one of the things they value so much. i love this show so bad #my leverage special interest and mountain goats special interest are kissing with tongue #OH and the show also did. an 'i need you' moment. leverage grave danger job handclasp ca:tws handclasp spn goodbye stranger #not mind control though. but like. #okay i'm posting this now #leverage posting
