Do u ever think about how Gideon's last words were ,,, WEDDING VOWS. And then do u think about how they're the first thing Harrow says when she finally remembers in htn .... AND THEN do u think about how Gideon/Kiriona acknowledges the fact that yeah they were wedding vows in ntn ... BECAUSE I DO. I FUCKING DO.

Gideon the Ninth, chapter 37.

Harrow the Ninth, chapter 43.

Nona the Ninth, chapter 25.

People acting like Kiriona Gaia was way too mean to be Gideon are so funny to me. GtN Gideon thought Ortus' mom having a breakdown over the possibility of losing her only son was peak entertainment

in the hellish alternate universe where tlt is a shitty cishet ya series, the first book is called “a house of bones and blood”. gideon is a cis man and harrow is marketed as a “feminist prince zuko redemption arc”. griddlehark make out during the pool scene but harrow still can’t get over her feelings for palamedes, who explodes later on in the book to save harrow from cytherea. camilla, the Strong Woman Character, breaks down and cries and loses her sense of purpose. in book 2, “a house of spirits and secrets”, cis man ianthe manages to capture harrow’s heart, to the ire of palamedes and gideon’s ghosts, until the end of the book when jod breaks ianthe’s evil spell on harrow. camilla returns to bring harrow to blood of eden, the evil terrorist rebel group that all of jod's lyctors joined. jodybeth is the only canon queer pairing but it’s not confirmed until after they both die in the final book, "a house of love and loyalty". harrow escapes blood of eden and fights off the villainous camilla (who hates harrow out of jealousy for palamedes being in love with harrow and not her), who then tries to kill gideon, who has come back to life completely intact for no reason. jod fights off camilla and then dies to save his son gideon, who then becomes emperor and seamlessly unites the nine houses and blood of eden. the series ends with gideon and harrow's marriage and the birth of their infant son who is set to inherit the entire universe and can already form a perfect kidney. imperialism is never discussed or even recognized by the author. all of the characters are white except judith and camilla. the series is a number one new york times bestseller for three years in a row. it immediately gets greenlit for a netflix series.

How a Fanny Pack Attacks in ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ | Anatomy of a Scene

This movie is mostly about people thinking that they’re in different movies and different genres, and the confusion that can come from that. So, specifically, Michelle Yeoh’s character Evelyn has just punched her auditor in the face because she thought she’s in an action movie and then she picked up some papers off the floor and discovered that her husband wants a divorce and suddenly the music switches and they’re talking about divorce. And you’ll see we’re going to switch genres a few more times as we go.

Every good action movie has to have a good kick off action sequence and we knew that we wanted to do something in the IRS building where Evelyn’s character is kind of helplessly watching as the Alpha Waymond character, the character who has taken over her husband’s body from another universe, gets to really just show off what this movie is going to be but in a way that is mysterious and the way that hopefully causes you to ask a lot of questions and want to keep watching. And so the fanny pack fight we just felt like it would be a really fun opportunity to do all those things. And it was also just fun to, as a Chinese-American who had a dad who carried around his fanny pack everywhere, it was fun to take that stereotype that kind of has become a source of derision and turn it into something kind of fun and magical and turn it on its head.

Right from the very beginning of writing this movie, we had this idea that in order to get powers from another universe, you’d have to do something really weird. And so this is the first scene where we get to see someone do something as strange as eat your own chapstick.

We had a couple priorities when shooting the scene. We didn’t want to shake the camera a lot. And we also wanted the actors to do the action. We didn’t want to have to point away from their faces. So all of these security guards are played by actual stuntmen and women and Ke Quan does almost all his action in this scene.

I think with these types of action sequences you need two things. You need these really beautiful wide shots where you really get to see what is happening and be really objective about it. But then the other thing is a lot of these really specific intentional inserts and cutaways and close-ups that sometimes they can build tension.

It started with us writing out general beats and then our choreography team was this group of guys that call themselves The Martial Club, and The Martial Club are YouTube-famous kung fu nerds from Orange County, and they ran with it and made a much longer version of this fight that then we worked with them to cut down to the right size. Then our stunt coordinator, Tim Eulich, brought together the actual team and they learned it like one big dance.

jobu tupaki is such an effective way of depicting that specific depression of being in your 20s and knowing you can do anything but also knowing that knowing that means any decision you make cuts you off from an infinite number of possible realities… like every step forward also feels like a step in the wrong direction because it technically is when you’re juggling every potential consequence at once and it narrows your life down to just a matter of surviving and trying to focus on the few things that don’t make you feel like a failure and you start to see the loss of will to really live as the inevitable result to your own unstoppable loss of potential. and of course being a gay child of immigrants makes it even easier for joy to feel like there’s no future she can pursue where everything turns out okay enough to have made the effort worth it. and then contrasting that with evelyn’s reality that she is the version of herself where every decision has been the wrong one that has led her away from doing anything remarkable with her life but it’s still a life where trying is worth something, as long as she can still find people to love and things to fight for… yeah

how joy says she’s tired of hurting and when she and her mom are together they hurt each other so she has to leave but she spent her entire time as jobu tupaki chasing after a version of her mom who would finally get her 😵‍💫

i know she is a villain but she is a lesbian and she killed a bunch of cops (including beating one to death with two dildos), so i think we should stan jobu tupaki

i just saw this movie today and this is exactly how i feel

Everything Everywhere All At Once says ADHD is a superpower, being an immigrant caught between two worlds is a superpower, being gay saves the multiverse, and villains look like cops, IRS agents, and entitled white women with corgis.

everything everywhere all at once really said 'actually love is the answer' with their whole damn chest

[gayme-master]

no because when everything everywhere all at once said “‘alone I’m useless’ ‘everyone’s useless alone. good thing we’re not alone.’” and “in another life, i would have loved to have just done laundry and taxes with you” and “you think i am naive. i’ve been alive just as many years as you. this [love] is how i fight” and “of all the places i could be, I just want to be here with you” and-

No Way Home was the closest Marvel Studios has come to giving us Peter Parker. Not a knock-off Miles who relies on a billionaire, but Peter Parker. Peter, the kid who is “the most famous person in the world but still broke”. The kid who fights for the common man, who will never stop seeing the good in people. With his new tech-free suit from the end of film it seems that Peter is restarting his journey as Spiderman. No special nanotech. No crazy AI. Just a broke kid with a sewing machine and relentless optimism. I really hope to see an accurate Peter Parker in future films. Because I love that Peter.
