Something I love about The Book of Life is that while Joaquin is sort of really stupid about courting Maria, he's not an asshole to her about it. He never tries to force her to love him. I hold the scene where Maria finds out Monolo died very close to my heart because Joaquin never tries to pull some "Well since he's gone I guess I'm the only for you to marry lol." Hell, her dad is the one to bring that up, and when he does, Joaquin tries to Shut Him Down. Both of them just lost their best friend, now is not the time to start trying to pressure Maria to marry a man she doesn't want to. Not only that, when Maria asks Joaquin if he'll stay if she marries him, he tries to tell her she does not have to. He may be in love with Maria, but the last thing he wants is to force her into a loveless marriage. He even hesitates at the wedding, hearing her say she's marrying him for their town. He doesnt want her to marry him just because she feels obligated. At the end of the day, Joaquin wants Maria to be happy, even if that means not getting to be with her
I fucking love The Book of Life. The Book of Life is one of the most beautiful movies man has ever made and I'm sick of it getting slept on

The fae smiled, sharply: “Give me your name, child.”
“Uhhhhh. Stick.”
“What.”
“Does Leaf work better? I’m just kinda looking around this clearing. Look, I’m trans, I haven’t decided on one yet, I’m throwing some spaghetti at the wall, you know how it is.”

ok but if bruce wayne somehow came upon zuko fresh out of banishment he would lose his mind.
black hair? check. bad parent(s)? check. trauma? double check.
bruce: how’d you get your scar?
zuko: my dad got mad at me for saying that killing people is wrong so he lit my face on fire and banished me.
bruce, vibrating with excitement, already pulling adoption papers from his utilility: that’s terrible. how do you feel about capes.

When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay
Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe
4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger
1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix
1 TBs ketchup
1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,
1 Tbs bbq sauce
1 Tbs steak sauce
1 egg
mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)
You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

Some time early on when Fizz and Ozzie had only met a few times:
Fizz struggling with impostor syndrome: I mean I appreciate it, but why are you personally working on my limbs? Don’t you have like engineers and shit for that?
Ozzie, pausing as he’s digging in some tool box: Oh, well…
Ozzie: *PTSD flashback to falling falling falling after being cast out of heaven, screaming as his useless wings burned to cinders, before crashing into Hell*
Ozzie, turning around and smiling: It’s an interesting project.
