#JUST BROS BEING PALS

[ashintheairlikesnow]

Watching a documentary on Edward II while I work and in this doc:

1. They repeatedly call Piers Gaveston Edward's "best mate" and "close friend", then have one seven-second acknowledgement that they were probably lovers before immediately returning to calling them pals, buds, just mates being dudes, my guys, just bros like bros will be, totally normal friendship here

2. Piers is not depicted as half so pretty as he likely was. He is handsome, yes, but very... dirty compared to everyone else? And also, dude, brush your hair. Come on. Piers Gaveston was famously not only arrogant but vain!

3. The actor playing Edward is playing this documentary dramatization like he is going for the motherfucking Oscar, he is amazing. I love him, my God someone give this man jobs and money!

4. They speak French! Just like everyone actually did!

5. Hugh Despenser has perfect hair, which seems in character

6. The documentary definitely doesn't admit the simple truth that Hugh Despenser the Younger was almost certainly Pretty Man Bait to get Edward II to give the Despensers power.

7. The doc DOES do a great job of showing what an absolute disaster Edward II was at basically everything forever

8. It does contain the most excellent line, "To the people of the time, Edward could have been bedding his priest, his page boy, and his horse, so long as he was governing the kingdom properly."

9. Isabella's actress is also incredible. That woman does some impeccable face-acting.

10. Man. The moral of this documentary - and of his life - should be "This man did not deserve the wild glory inherent in his amazing wife."

11. Now Hugh Despenser needs to brush his hair! Maybe Edward just likes 'em grungy.

12. Edward is the epitome of being shown exactly what he needs to do and then doing the opposite.

13. I am genuinely impressed at how carefully they dance around admitting that Edward was definitely up in Hugh Despenser's business, too. His manly business.

14. Wait, I take it back. The real moral of this story is "take a woman's children from her arms and she will burn you to the ground and spit on your ashes."

15. Honestly, I don't blame her.

16. THEY CALLED HER THE SHE-WOLF FOR A REASON, MOTHERFUCKERS.

17. Also, hell yeah for Isabella's brother the King of France working with her on this. He absolutely knew Isabella was being underestimated and he made sure he never did.

18. Oh, so we can admit Isabella and Roger Mortimer were sleeping together, huh? We can admit that? I mean as long as it's decently hetero, sure, let's have a whole sex scene. But God forbid we admit Edward and Piers might have held hands under a tree even once.

19. THEY PUT A SEX NOISE IN EVEN

20. Honestly now I'm mad.

21. "She has a number of men closer to a moderate house party than an invading force." Okay, that line redeems you somewhat.

22. Awwwww puppies hunting the disgraced king, sweet. I love when dogs are clearly checking for cues from their trainers just off screen.

23. A FIFTY FOOT GALLOWS SEEMS EXCESSIVE. Oh holy shit they hung him without quite killing him, then de-genitaled and- god damn, Isabella. This seems like a bit much.

24. SHE MADE A POINT OF EATING WHEN THEY CUT HIS DICK OFF.

25. Isabella is terrifying. I am in wild irrational love.

26. I'm sorry they put WHAT up Edward's ass. A red hot WHAT

27. I feel like that probably didn't actually happen but honestly, I don't doubt Isabella is capable of it. And also, um, these deaths seem... To send a message.

28. "Edward's wife and her lover-" oh, are you sure they're not just best mates? Buddies? Pals? Like Edward and Gaveston?

29. Oh he probably just like... was smothered. That makes way more sense. He could be "found dead" then and it could be claimed to be natural causes.

30. Underestimate pissed off French women at your peril, English kings.

Song Qinglan entered the bathroom, reselected a cubicle and washed himself thoroughly from head to toe. During this process, he suddenly understood why Ji Yushi was reluctant to stay in the seventh squad. It wasn’t that he was still holding a grudge —- It was likely because of his boyfriend.

Taking a shower and thinking about your gay teammate and his "boyfriend" waiting for him back home, just some heterosexual things from a heterosexual man. 🤗

if i were ross duffer, i would simply post a picture of finn and noah holding hands and not even wearing their costumes, and then turn off my phone forever. bonus points if they're not even the main focus of the photo.

#are they practicing for byler? are they just bros being pals? will the reddit dudebros say they're dating? who knows #byler #stranger things

“van helsing would, I know, do anything for me for a personal reason” why is it that EVERY single time a new character is introduced bram stoker beats us over the head with the knowledge that they’re in gay love with someone, this has happened literally every single time a new character of any sort is brought into the book

#personal #dracula daily #'he would do anything for me' just a couple of guys being dudes. pals being bros. #the people who theorize that bram was using this book to work through some stuff about being gay might be bang on #because everyone is YEARNING and BISEXUAL #is quincey the only one being remotely normal and not having something lgbt happening to him #is he the only one #i assume it's the power of Cowboy it overrides all the other victorian nonsense

[redrocketpanda]

You're going to follow through on that false relationship, bearing the weight of your sin?

It won't be a false relationship. This time, we're gonna be a real family

_______

Kazuki and Rei are fucking deeply in love with each other and Buddy Daddies is, in part, about them both not only realizing this but coming to terms with it. There's absolutely nothing you can do to convince me otherwise

#the homoeroticism of it all #there are so many scenes I wanted to include in this post including both of the balcony scenes and Rei's birthday drive home #but I think these three simple screenshots convey what we all know is there #they're just pals being bros and don't know how to speak into being that they somehow bro'd their way into a relationship #headcanon Kazuki being a bisexual polyam boy #and Rei not being remotely interested in anyone until his big gay Oh moment with Kazuki #also fuck I wanna write the shit out of some of the gaps in episode 11 bc damn there's some meaty Kazuki/Rei moments in that #anyway Kazuki/Rei own part of my soul now #buddy daddies #kazuki kurusu #kurusu kazuki #suwa rei #rei suwa #kazuki x rei #rei papa #kazuki papa #kazurei

Look I hate Nintendo as much as the next guy but the (maybe) oncoming legal action against Palworld kinda has some merit. There's a lot of original designs in the game, but there's also lots that very blatantly use parts of the models that are used in modern Pokemon games, and allegedly there's also some designs that are just fanart taken without permission.

Like from what I've seen the people deep in the discourse trenches are using both the "The designs are NOTHING alike!" and the "It's a parody, it's SUPPOSED to be a rip-off!" arguments interchangeably and it's like- No. No, you can't use both of those at once, they're paradoxical.

Either you believe Palworld is just another mon game, and just like every other mon game, there's some design elements that are inevitably going to repeat, in which case we'll have to wait and see what happens, or you agree that Palworld is plagiarizing and you're okay with it, in which case you can't really complain when a lawsuit hits.

#i'm looking at the palworld tag just kinda laughing at how overly passionate people get about the discourse #nothing against the game it looks fun but this isn't the first time a mon game has been hyped up as a Pokemon Killer #the “ITS A PARODY BRO” defense also really sucks for palworld because i highly doubt that's what PocketPal is going for? #like yeah it's taking the piss a bit with the pal abuse mechanic but pokemon is not the only mon game that makes a big deal #about the relationship between mons and their owners #if it's taking the piss at anything it's at the genre as a whole #treating it as just Pokemon Killer/Pokemon But Edgy is a disservice to it #and it's gonna cause it to age horribly. if the (maybe) oncoming lawsuit won't do that to begin with #that said though the feature to enslave humans is... A Thing for sure #like i get it's a commentary on humans and mons not being too different but #well IRL we didn't exactly have a slave trade consisting of cloud eevees let me put it that way #pokemon #palworld

One hell of a buddy-cop comedy

#just dudes being bros #guys being pals #i cant find the image that called it a buddy-cop #i KNOW i saw it somewhere and i have a little giggle to myself everytime i remember it #its like guys. are we WATCHING THE SAME SHOW #loki #loki series #loki spoilers

I feel like Steve and Frances would be friends. Just like,,,, buds. Pals. They meet to play chess out in Central Park every weekend and Steve wins most of the time but it's only because he eats Frances' pieces when she isn't looking and she's way too high to keep track of his strategy.

#bigtop burger #btb steve #btb frances #She just seems like she'd be really tolerant and even encouraging of weirdness #They give me an iroh and toph vibe #Or like an ice king and marceline vibe #Two bros #Two pals #Being buds #buddies #They go foraging for mushrooms in the woods together #Whatever mushrooms Steve collects she has to take from him because he tries to eat them instantly #While she has a recipe she wants to make with them #He eats the poisonous ones behind her back because they're extra tasty and prettier #Sometimes she points out the poisonous ones only to look back a minute later and she that they're gone and she's like #STEVE DID YOU EAT THAT? I TOLD YOU ITS POISON! #And he's like “Nooooo! Of course not!” #While his mouth is clearly full of deadly mushrooms

My dude, minutes ago this man was ready to die by your side and almost died in your place even after you acted like he meant nothing to you. Pls open your eyeballs, this man is hopelessly in love with you.

Hey so this might be weird but I'm starting to think you are in my walls??? (lighthearted) Um. You recently made a post about Dandelion growing up in a catholic-coded temple school and ending up atheist and I have never seen that headcanon anywhere but in the DMs of me and my dearly beloved windflowerofskellige. Like the temple school is canon but the catholic aspect very much is not and we are so so curious where you got that from since its such a specific take. Feel free to DM me about it of you don't wanna post; I'm always down for exploring Dandeliom as a character :))

I live near a catholic school and knew many catholic kids growing up. Catholicism in general is very present in Europe even down to our architecture so when I read in the books that Dandelion had gone to a temple school that was very strict but still came out of it entirely atheist well it wasn't hard for me to go "lmao sounds like fantasy catholicism" but with more pagan twists since we know multiple gods do exist in witcherverse

So yeah that's where it came from it wasn't anything big or grand just me musing on a specific experience I'd seen a lot among catholic raised kids and families and how similar it was to Dandelion's lol

#asks #yellowspiralbound #it's an interesting part of his dynamic with nenneke too #she's so obviously devout to her religion and sees him as nothing but a rake and a scoundrel #which is a performance he's more than happy to lean into when she's in the room #but once she leaves he relaxes and goes back to his usual soft banter with geralt #just two atheist guys being bros and buddies and pals #they met the literal god of the elves and still went 'anyways'

Like I said Casey was throwing hands with a 15 year old and didn’t realize it lol.

FR 😭 And how would he! I know if I met Raph in an alley with no clue of who he was I’d think he was an adult too! And it’s not like any of the turtles bring it up!

#casey being hard on angel for hetting into trouble not knowing his pals are the same age as her #raph going from just his bestie to like. his lil bro. #mouser responds
