#Part of her genius

[itspileofgoodthings]

when you realize Mr. Perfectly Fine has a chiasmus in it

#what is going on in Taylor’s mind #(It’s the ‘now I’m miss gonna be alright someday / and someday maybe you’ll miss me but by then you’ll be—mr. Too late) #it’s also a zeugma with the double meanings of miss and miss #she has so many gifts but one of the most impressive is her innate knowledge of how to play with language #she didn’t learn it. it’s just IN her #Part of her genius

#wink wink about stealing something he wants #maybe a band of outlaws holds up a train and when he and Simon come to confront them #he sees a girl shaking in her seat and decides she should come home with him

WHY WOULD YOU HIDE THIS IN THE TAGS????????

Soap says he’s taking her in for questioning and he’s very apologetic when Price asks him later on where the witness went. Must’ve given him the split at some point when his back was turned, maybe didn’t want to get involved with Johnny law. Price gives him a stern talking to and nothing more, since they’d captured most of the men from the train and they could just interrogate them. No need to involve some poor frightened girl.

Anyway that’s what Soap tells her when he comes back home to his cabin out in the middle of nowhere. No one for miles around. She doesn’t need to worry about what happened on the train and he’s not particularly interested in why she was there in the first place. Johnny takes very good care of the things he takes.

#ok Johnny law was a stroke of genius I love being me #actually I’m sort of in love w the idea that she was part of the gang of outlaws and was pretending to be an innocent bystander #but she really didn’t mean for Johnny to take her #he’ll be sooooooo amused when he finds that out down the line

This is Crouton btw. She is a cat-faced spider. & also my friend

#shes been here for months and become such a fixture. every time i leave or come home and see her still there it makes me happy :) #& i swear spiders deserve more credit cuz this web is in the frame of the garage door #but she always builds it away from the moving part so it doesnt get destroyed #& shapes perfectly so my car doesnt hit it on the way in or out #i know with it turning to winter her time is limited but for now shes alive and i will remain in awe of her and her architectural genius #spiders #arachnids #bugblr

Ever since I saw Striga wearing "day armor" in castlevania s4, whenever I see a vampire in any other media complaining about the sun i just think "they don't have day armor"

#but on a serious note i think that was pretty genius of the writers part like #we need this vampire badass killing machine to fight in the sun #what if we gave her a badass armor that fully covered her so that we can do just that #castlevania

“I worked quite closely with Emily over two or three months in London, and she came up with the idea of having the traveling outfit be the color of a bruise—which is unusual, because riding outfits of the period were usually dark green or sometimes blue. Hers is purple, with a saffron-colored lining, which works for subliminal, symbolic reasons but also because it makes her stand out.” Multiple iterations of the corseted 1890s style were made, then distressed to differing degrees. “She’s got these amazing puffy sleeves,” De Gaye says with a laugh, “and the more time she spends in the saddle, the more deflated they get.” Cornelia’s only other fashion constant? A necklace containing a lock of her son’s hair along with his photograph, a common practice amongst Victorians in mourning. — Phoebe De Gaye, costume designer for The English

#tvedit #theenglishedit #the english #emily blunt #cornelia locke #i love love looooove the details about her outfits #especially the part about her riding outfit being the colour scheme of a bruise #absolutely genius from beginning to end #mine #and. i don't know what i'm doing w these gifs so don't ask me

i feel like it needs to be said that one of the reasons why lae'zel isn't well liked by fandom isn't only bc she's a woman and whatever dumb reason they are pulling but because she's also a woman that doesn't fit in the standard of beauty we impose on women. we all know people strive harder to find reasons to dislike women rather than like them but it gets even more harder when that woman doesn't fit a specific beauty standards bc people are more prone to "forgive" a woman they want to fuck than one that they don't find attractive because women's worth is still disgustingly based on how hot she is

#rena.txt #this isn't even a talk on how lae'zel is or isn't beautiful (which 2 me she is..i love her..) bc it would fall into the same scheme of #hot=likable i'm trying to criticize here but it doesn't take a genius to see how she's different from a more 'conventional' look like #shadowheart for example. like idk if i made any sense in this rant but beside the already stupid reasons like she's mean or whatever u can't #make me believe that part of the reason ppl don't like her is bc of how she looks. a woman is never accepted if it's not a saint and the #next top model or whatever tf. sick of it all!!!!!

I think people overestimate how feminist team black is. If someone brings up how Baela should be the heir to Driftmark, it's always "she would've been Queen if not for the Greens!", ignoring that 1, she would be Queen consort, not a Queen in her own right, and 2 she has a legitimate claim in her own right to Driftmark. Team Black's goal is to crown Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra becoming Queen isn't a win for feminism because it does nothing to dismantle the rest of the patriarchal system that exists in Westeros. From what we've gotten so far, it reads that Rhaenyra wants to be the exception and not the rule. Rhaenyra has made a lot of bad political decisions, which means she can't acknowledge Baela's claim because it would weaken her own claim (blatantly admitting her eldest sons are illegitimate would not end well for her to say the least). So she betrothes Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena to kind of atone for that, like as a consolation prize Baela will be Queen and Rhaena will be lady of Driftmark, neither of them would hold either title in their own right. It's good matches because the kids like each other and will treat each other well, but it's not a feminist win or a feministic liberation. It's usurpation, usurpation that takes place because Rhaenyra has to do damage control after having illegitimate children and after a serious of bad political decisions (both hers and her fathers, Viserys is the arbiter of this entire mess). To me, Rhaenyra is very reminiscent of Mary Queen of Scots, I can see a lot of elements drawn from Mary's history in Rhaenyra's story and character, down to their sons eventually taking the crown they failed to claim/keep.

#hotd #hotd spoilers #house of the dragon #house of the dragon spoilers #Rhaenyra targaryen critical #I'm going to do a rewatch prior to season 2 & I'm going to analyse the bad political decisions from vis & Rhaenyra that lead to the dance #like by no means the only factors at play lets not forget otto daemon larys etc #but it's an interesting factor that the fandom doesn't really acknowledge #and a lot of Rhaenyra's bad political decisions are understandable because of her youth and because viserys does fuck all to prepare her #like even if she wasn't who he choose as heir she should've been given a better political education as a princess #but vis fails his most of his other four kids in that regard to #i mean he also fails to acknowledge them or remember them but anyways #he is a huge part of the reason aegon and aemond became he they did #props to whoever probably alicent for sending daeron to oldtown so he could grow up well adjusted #alicent: i'm writing a letter to daeron is there anything you would like to say to him? #viserys: daemon? why are you writing to daemon? #alicent: daeron? #viserys: who? #alicent: our son? the one you sent to squire in oldtown? #viserys: i think i'd remember if we had a son who's name was one letter different to my brothers #viserys: in fact i do alicent do you mean the one who lost an eye? #alicent: *screaming internally* #viserys targaryen #king viserys #rhaenyra is such an interesting character but i hate how the fandom sanctified her because how dare characters be complex and have flaws #like you dont have to justify their actions or bend over backwards to deny their faults to like a character you know 😭 #and the same thing is done to daemon who is far more fucked up and far more flawed in the show than the fandom allows #i hate the team stuff tho i get hbo going for it as a marketing move that was genius but my god are certain stans insufferable #the entire point of the dance is that its a pointless tragedy there's no good or bad side theyre both awful in their own ways #but thats a longer rant for another time outside of the tags

Why, Finn? Why was it genius? Pls elaborate!

#byler #no but what would his reasoning be I’m actually curious to see how he would go about explaining #cuz we know El doesn’t want to be known as a superhero #she doesn’t want that to be the part of her that defines her… #so yes please tell us why it was genius to improvise that line in that scene… #stranger things #mike wheeler #stranger things spoilers #finn wolfhard #stranger things theory #byler evidence #byler proof #byler st #byler theory #stranger things spoiler #mike wheeler i know what you are #stranger things theories #mike x will #stranger things meta #byler st4 #byler season 4 #stranger things 4

yall- in world validation that the mechanicsburg&Heterodyne ship is so cannon.

I'm so happy about this- I'm in serious danger of composing a song about how happy I am about this <3

#girl genius #page react #oh my god #on the rest of the page it turns out Albia is not all knowing on top of not being all powerful (we been knew) #and the little she does know she doesn't plan to share at this time (is this eldritch knowledge? the profain what causes spontaneous fire?) #(we've been there done that with the resplendent immolation I'm sure it'd be fine but I guess caution is fair) #but Mechanicsburg??? It's a part of her now <3<3 #(was it always? does it matter if it wasn't??) #god someone get me a damp cloth I think I'm overheating from excitment wow

Being a theatre kid followed by a choir kid has ruined pop music for me for one reason: Not because it doesn’t have the same sound, or because there’s no story, or anything like that— NO, it’s the fucking harmonies! Pop artists have ONE idea of how to harmonise and they do it CONSTANTLY and it’s BORING AND BAD

#I’m listening to Taylor Swift’s new album against my will #This woman has evidently not grown in her harmony writing abilities #Musical genius my ass. All she knows is high octave double! #And people eat it up which is the painful part #Come to the dark side! We have jazz chords! #🧸Rowa

ough. toriel my beloved

#comics may or may not be coming #(they are i am drawing them) #why is it so difficult. not the process of drawing but something about choosing a canvas size and marking the panels makes my brain lag #okay kingdings is something that exists i guess but can we have a little old lady interaction. #need more content of wingdings actually being a part of that world and an important individual for the people around him #rather than just existing as a satellite to a handful of characters and straight up being barely acknowledged by others #specially considering he was the goddamn Royal Scientist the man genius himself #anyway toriel. their relationship would be funny #she may be perpetually confused by his mannerisms but shes immune to creepy (re: her own creepy ass children across universes) #woman always sees right through him and thinks hes the silliest thing #she knows how badly you want a family mr weirdo come now you can sit at the thanksgiving table #feels kind of bad her efforts cannot undo the debilitating loneliness he radiates however 😔 #but my favourite thing: will never Not kiss her hand #there are no romantic undertones it is just a gesture of reverence #will do it to your mom your grandma your sister. really any lady he feels he owes formal acknowledgement #and queen toriel is always owed formal acknowledgement #gugunghhuhguh. ily toriel cant wait to finally figure out how to draw you

I really want Orbot and Cubot to like Sage... I have a need. They already like Metal Sonic (And even try to claim brotherhood with him) even though he's not nice to them at all and Eggman likes him more (eeehhh well sort of).

And Sage immediately accepted them as her siblings despite not ever meeting them. I think they would cry if they knew.

#you already know orbot would be playing the nanny because Eggman's not doing all the messy parts of raising a kid #only the parts where he gets to claim what a genius her dad is lol #in my hc sage's relationships with her dad and metal are a dysfunctional mess but I want her and Orbot&Cubot to be as fluffy as #their situation lets them #sonic #sonic the hedgehog #sage #sage the ai #orbot #cubot #orbot and cubot #orbot & cubot #metal sonic #eggman #project.txt

roci crew truly found family of all time. simply unparalleled.

#the expanse #every found family needs: #idiot reluctant protag who keeps being the hero purely bc he can't stop trying to save people #genius engineer who hates guns but can and will kill people with math #guy who's killed a whole lot of people and doesn't feel bad about it and just really wants to protect his friends and any child he sees #token straight dad friend who cooks for everyone and is ironically terrible at being an actual husband and father #extremely insanely hot and Big ex-marine gunner willing to die for a cause and also just be dad friend's bff #very very repentant mass murderer and terrorist who tried to pin all her crimes on the roci crew but they're keeping her forever #CAN YOU TELL THAT IM ON MY BULLSHIT ABOUT THEM 1000% OF THE TIME #im especially in my feelings about alex getting killed off in the show as though he is not an ABSOLUTELY INTEGRAL part of the crew #he is keeping them together emotionally as well as flying the roci and that's so important

lupin iii special where some swindler is impersonating lupin and selling people guarantees that he won't rob them. lupin discovers this when he robs one of the suckers and is pleasantly surprised/confused by the lack of security, then is unpleasantly surprised when he turns on the tv the next morning and the big story is how lupin iii has no honor, he's a cheat, he breaks his promises, etc etc. for the purpose of this premise, this is a lupin who cares about that and he is incensed. someone is slandering his good name! he has to track down this no-good-impersonator and reveal them to the world so everyone will know he's a trustworthy thief. the special ends with a montage of him robbing everyone who bought an anti-thievery guarantee from the swindler guy.

#the b plot is goemon and jigen buy land that turns out to be underwater #lupin iii #the swindler's disguises all look like lupins from previous parts as a fun callback #lupin initially thinks fujiko is the one selling the phony guarantees and confronts her and she's like damn i wish it was. that's genius.
