#but maybe a couple scenes from it

[lena-in-a-red-dress]

I think I might have a 'Lena in Camelot' prompt somewhere in my inbox so I'll probably get around to actually doing something with this idea, but imagine Lena gets dropped in the Camelot world at a time when Morgana is missing. Lena is "found" and assumed to be Morgana, and is thereby brought back home to Morgause (in this reality Morgana and Morgause are ruling Camelot while Arthur & Co are in hiding).

At first Lena is like-- wow Morgana has a sister, I've always wanted a sister, but soon realizes that Morgause is basically a female version of Lex ("jesus I can't get a breakin any reality, can I?") and discovers all the bad things the sisters have planned.

Like executing a bunch of Arthur's knights. Lena halts the execution in the nick of time, adlibbing something about actually serving penance for their crimes against the crown, "death is to kind a punishment" type of thing. It's the first clue for Morgause that something is hinky.

After that, Morgause keeps a close eye on Lena, and finds her trying to subvert many of Morgause's more sinister plans. Lena also rules with her characteristic kindness, slowly winning the people over-- even the knights, since Lena has ordered them to be treated well as prisoners, and has even managed to sneak in a couple of secret conversations with them, telling them 'hey I'm working on something but I promise I'll get you out of here, just give me some time.' And then actually following through on it.

Morgause continues to train "Morgana", and thereby gives Lena the knowledge and practice she needs to master her magic. Unwittingly, she gives Lena the ability to defend herself and strike back when Morgause has finally had enough and confronts her, attacking her in the main hall.

Meanwhile, Arthur & Co have found the real Morgana, and start mending fences. Things are still tense when they arrive at the castle mid-Morgause confrontation, but when Morgana sees how easily Morgause attacks her doppelganger (maybe even still assuming Lena is still Morgana but that Morgana is losing loyalty), Morgana realizes that she was never more than a pawn to her sister. In an instant, her allegience switches back to Arthur and Gwen.

She joins the magical fight against Morgause, and Arthur battles Morgause's henchmen alongside his reclaimed knights, who all hold a flame of loyalty for the doppelganger who helped them escape the dungeons and flee Camelot.

After Morgause is defeated, Arthur reclaims his throne and his sister. They plan to rule together and build a brighter future for Camelot. But first they have to figure out who Lena is and what she's doing here-- which she gladly tells them, using terms and ideas they'd understand. With Morgana's help, Lena manages to open rift between worlds for her to get home.

Before she leaves, Lena takes a moment to speak with her counterpart-- "you may have lost a sister, but you still have a family. Be certain you don't lose them again-- it's not worth it to be alone, trust me."

Morgana nods, taking her words to heart. When Lena steps through the portal to go home, Morgana rejoins her family.

Together, they make their first steps towards a better world.

top 5 dihua moments

HELLO ohhh goddd if i really really really have to pick... I'LL TRY (in tears)

in chronological order of the episodes:

(1) “你这个人最大的弱点就是喜欢当英雄。一个剑客不该有弱点。” your greatest weakness is that you like being a hero. a swordsman should be without weaknesses. (ep 1)

i'm as in love with the entire donghai scene as much as the next person but this dialogue is particularly special to me. so it was the first one i pinned down for this list. no hesitation. :)

it's a cornerstone of dihua's relationship; the thesis of lxy/llh's and their joint narrative. it prompts the deconstruction of the staple wuxia ideas of 侠 xia and heroism - which is what i really love lhl for. and dfs being the one to deliver this incredibly crucial and significant line is 10/10. he knew lxy even better than lxy did. he is the bearer and catalyst of lhl's story, lxy/llh's story.

"your greatest weakness is that you like being a hero. a swordsman should be without weaknesses." so what does it even mean to be a hero. is it more important to be a hero than being human. and i will become human. i am human and always have been. and i have weaknesses - i cannot win against fate, i am dying. but what ever is even wrong with being weak? being human is to have weaknesses. so i guess it's no wonder for the narrative to come in a full circle with dfs coming in possession of a weakness and be trapped in it. no longer the killer of di fortress. he's just a human being.

and llh bringing this up again in ep 11 feels to me that he had been carrying these words with him over the past 10 years. bicha and the battle have transformed him physically. but i like to think that dfs's words had an important role to play in an even deeper level of change.

all it took was this one scene to sell to me that this would probably be the kind of narrative i love.

(2) reunion in the woods (ep 8)

it's just so fucking good like literally every dihua scene. who doesn't love a good post-divorce first meeting scene. there's just a lot to chew on. most of all, llh just had to keep reminding dfs how well he knew dfs. we know the moon has always been this bright, alright. AND they were threatening each other. very sexy of them.

(3) whatever the heck was going between them in cailianzhuang arc (ep 11)

truly nothing brings out old married couple + parents vibes better than an inquisitive boy accusing you two of being up to something secretive behind his back. both their guilty expressions. :3 also dfs being the first person huahua goes to when he doesn't want to be alone. huahua being exceptionally chatty around dfs and dfs has no problem entertaining him. :3 they're totally on the same wavelength without having to say anything to each other and this arc brings it out so well.

(4) 腊月二十七 donghai anniversary wedding night (ep 38)

this is the last one i came up for the list after fighting a whole war in my mind over which 5 of the 100000 beloved scenes to pick. hate being predictable but. you just HAVE to give it to it. how do you NOT pick this for a top 5. all the 10 million other top 5 dihua scenes just had to make space for the anniversary scene. :'(

if i had to be even more specific, i think the scene of them in bed most likely takes the cake for me. llh literally saved dfs's life and helped him to become the stronger person he has always wanted to be. and perhaps no other moment exhibits the complementary yin and yang nature of their powers/energies in a more illustrative and palpable way. undershirts in bed just hits different from being fully clothed and one person literally having to keep the other person alive by touch...and this time it's llh for dfs despite the whole time it's dfs who was dedicated to keep llh alive. they have no lack of scenes that exhibit how in sync they are intellectually, and this is peak physical intimacy and tenderness, added with a brush with death/mortality yeah...

(5) llh/lxy's farewell to dfs (ep 40)

playing cheat here by combining two different moments :) but they are essentially connected. llh/lxy had to leave. and since it really had to be that way, i'm glad dfs was on his mind until the very end. what more can one ask for. there is really nothing more dear and tender in the world to be thought of

-

tl;dr: /blows kisses to every dihua moment

#anon idk why u did this to me but i love you. and thank you for the ask <3 my head exploded from doing the curation exercise <3 #i also have a couple of other specific scenes i wanted to call out but there's just no more room sighs #idk my answers are leaning mostly to the earlier arcs also bc those are the ones ive been rewatching most lately. #come back in 2 months maybe lmao. repeat until every dihua scene is listed lol #莲花楼 #mysterious lotus casebook #lhl #dihua #my posts #asks #anon #lhlmeta

can't wait for the shot of eddie rushing in to see christopher after buck calls to tell him about the little accident and buck moving out of the way to give them space, hovering in the doorway and watching chris complain about eddie's fussing before walking away with his tail between his legs like a scolded dog.

#sami rambles #and then the scene where eddie tells him it was a couple of bruises and some scrapes he's fine buck - it was an accident #either that which is more likely from the eddie still maybe if they're part of them same storyline #or it's going to be angst carried over from s6 and eddie using it as an excuse to be a bit angry at buck because this is something #he feels like he has a right to be angry over (as opposed to being angry about buck choosing nat when he didn't know eddie was an option) #911 spec #buckley diaz family

Did you know that spiders can send out a strand of their silk and ride it on the wind en masse? They look like little balloons in the air, and their flight is called ballooning. Now imagine Miles putting it to the test. He scales up to the top of Spider Society's building on a windy day and uses his web-shooters to shoot web skyward until he launches.

Good news, he's floating, and his web balloon is riding the warm breeze, giving him a glorious view of Nueva York. This is awesome!

Bad news, he doesn't know how or where to land, and he winds up using his watch to call Miguel on the brink of tears because he's going higher and higher with no landing in sight or a safe spot to jump down.

Miguel is racing through HQ, screaming orders at the other Spiders to find a fucking helicopter or a plane because, goddamn it, the kid is slowly becoming a speck in the sky, and they need to get him down now. Miles is crying, Miguel is using his watch to talk to him and calm him down, Peter B. is panicking, and Hobie is attempting to spin a web balloon to go after Miles while Gwen, Pav, and Jess are frantically searching for a suitable aircraft because Miguel definitely has one tucked away somewhere in case of an emergency.

It's a mess.

Fortunately, they fly a small plane up to Miles' location and get in just close enough for Miguel to gently grab the kid by the ankles and pull him inside. Miles is trembling and scared and latching onto Miguel, who is too relieved to scold the kid for damn near giving him a stroke.

Needless to say, the Ballooning experiment was a "success," and Spider-Men are now Ballooning to silently ambush their enemies from the skies.

#miles morales #across the spiderverse #miguel o'hara #atsv #poor kid was only doing what teenagers do #he didn't stop to think through his little experiment because he was so excited to try it out #aaaaand maybe he got some inspiration from that scene in charlotte's web where the baby spiders flew away #several documentaries about spiders later and he was ready to make a web balloon #miguel was so happy to have the kid back safe and sound that he was clingy for a good couple of months

[scintillatingshortgirl19]

as much as i despise john house tbh i wish we'd gotten more episodes with him . . . partly for more of that sweet sweet Daddy Issues content but also. because there are so few scenes with this man i have to do so much fucking guesswork when writing him

#i'm trying to make his characterization feel accurate but like. what even IS accurate for him #we see him in only a couple of scenes with a little bit of dialogue in one specific context #it helps that house talks about him now and then #so there's a lot i can infer about his personality based on the info we have #but it's hard to know for sure what he's like/his speech patterns/etc #at this point i feel like he tended to be very cold and methodical when punishing house #and actually rarely lost his temper #he was always sort of . . . chillingly calm #which maybe actually added to the effects of the verbal abuse #because he would tell house how worthless he was in just. the most reasonable and articulate tones #and that made it even harder for house to keep from taking what his dad said to heart #like i'm sure house got yelled at sometimes but #i think john was more of a 'dangerous quiet voice' type of dad #anyway hi i currently have 3 wips dealing with house's childhood trauma :') #house md #john house #em writes #op

[birdricks]

ok guys tho. please please do not forget that the ENTIRE diane sequence was just mortys interpretation of them. or more so i guess the holes interpretation of mortys interpretation of them. its likely that none of or only part of that characterisation is accurate similar to the shoneys version of dianes death

#for diane and for them as a couple #AS CUTE AS IT IS …. we still technically know nothing. heartbreaking #rnm spoilers #its possible ricks characterisation was more accurate #bc morty knows him well. and weve seen him be a hopeless romantic before #but i still doubt rick has told morty much of anything abt diane. his only real exposure to her was those murder robots #likeee w the shoneys… its possible that most of it IS accurate altho maybe not their meetcute lol… unless rick did tell morty that ! #altho it is fun to analyse rick from those scenes. morty knows him well enough u know #like we can assume that at least he was semi accurately characterised bc morty didnt suspect anything at first #hmmm. so interesting

[dribs-and-drabbles]

Thinking about:

The two moments in ep 1 (6:08) and ep 2 (32:37) when Jihyun is seen in the background between Jaewon and Tae Hyung/Eun Ji respectively.

The way Jaewon's taller shadow engulfs Jihyun's smaller shadow as Jaewon walks towards Jihyun on the beach in ep 2.

Yoon Won singing on the beach.

Just how fantastic Yoon Won, Ae Ri, and Jihyun's boss are.

How it looks like Jaewon drew himself and his younger brother and maybe a young Jihyun in the landscape of the Han river in ep 4.

The way Jaewon tugs Jihyun into him after putting the rucksack on Jihyun in ep 4 (7:03).

The tale of the country mouse who ran back home (ep 4)...and me wondering if it's foreshadowing a separation and/or time skip in future eps.

Jihyun keeping Jaewon's art in case he becomes famous...and me wondering if that will come back if there's a time skip/separation at the end.

The fact that the therapist is always in the same top, which might indicate that the therapy scenes are all from the same session...maybe meaning everything else that's happening are flashbacks from the time of the session...which ends in ep 5. There are no scenes of the therapy session in ep 6.

The bust on the shelf in the therapists room, with hands over its eyes...

Jihyun's dream of going to the Hanson Tower with a lover and putting a lock up there...and me hoping he'll do that with Jaewon.

The "traffic won't stop for you" sign behind Jaewon as he gets drunk in ep 5 and talks about siblings. If it turns out his brother died because he ran into the road I will throw fists.

The way Jaewon's little brother is dressed in a light blue t-shirt with something cream over the top in the flashback and then Jihyun is also wearing light blue/grey under a cream jacket in the next scene.

Jaewon's "We are always living in other's frameworks in this world". And "Don't try to get out of the box".

The silence as the credits roll at the end of ep 6.

#the eighth sense #the 8th sense #t8s #I don't gif and viki prevents screenshots so all I can do is bounce them around in my brain like a washing machine #I'm not making predictions about ep 6... #well apart from after my second watch I think the beach scene IS real #but from the point of the overhead shot of them lying on the surfboards on the beach #until them surfing again feels like it's in one or both of their imaginations #that's the point where continuity fails for me #so I think they either talk about the possibility of spending the night together #or one of them (maybe jihyun) imagines/daydreams the bed scene #and then they go back into the water where jihyun almost drowns #I think he gets taken to hospital but he's fine #jaewon however will then distance himself from jihyun because he's scared he can't keep him safe #anyway... #I also wonder what trauma jihyun has suffered because he's hinted to it a couple of times #and I don't just mean the water hazing #but we'll see #I can't believe I have to wait SIX more days to find out 😭

[liquidstar]

a friend who'd wait :)

#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops. #and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can! #and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol #finn's ocs #finn's art #i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me #and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun #i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here: #barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past #he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it #he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned #which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them #they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore #but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird #and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place #though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library #and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together #since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door #eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement #barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time. #barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate #but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd #he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself #but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done. #and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies. #and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them) #and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances'' #from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov #sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3 #but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

[marjoriestotch]

Thank you so much @pcstan for indulging me in his amazing R+J AU the last few days I am so deeply smitten with it...his MIND....they are such good old-fashioned lover boys.....

#stolkien #maybe ive rewatched the balcony scene from the 60s film a couple hundred times....

[gayhoediaz]

I felt like they were making fun of us a little with the "underlying sexual tension" line, like..nothing to see here, just two guy friends (lie! 🥺)

yall: is this queer show with main queer couples and queer writers and who have always treated queerness and any other sensitive topic with the uttermost love and respect throwing out a perfect example of internalized bi/homophobia to make fun of a small section of their audience?

#maybe new people in the fandom don’t realize this #but there were a couple of cracks in s2 (namely the elf scene) #but from 3.01 there was a MASSIVE shift #there have been ZERO moments that could be taken as them playfully nodding to the buddie shippers #that’s when they decided to tell this story #nie answers 💕

they werent lying that knuckles series barely has knuckles in it

#i pirated that shit Btw just so we're clear. also gonna talk about it a little bit in the tags #nothing too spoilery but also might not wanna read if you want to go in knowing absolutely nothing? idk #anyway he WAS a main character still he was present for a decent amount of the first couple episodes #but the amount of screentime he gets just starts dropping after that . hes barely there at all in the second half ??? #and it feels like theres a lot of scenes mostly focusing on wade and his problems and not near as many for knuckles and his whole deal #overall it feels more like a wade show with knuckles in it than a knuckles show with wade in it. which sucks #and human characters having plot relevance isnt the problem here i dont mind human characters at all i think they can be really fun #its the fact that the human characters are taking over the story and spotlight when the show is called knuckles #and all the marketing makes it look like knuckles is the main focus #and i also would have preferred if they just went with a differnet character to be knuckles' human friend #because i dont particulraly care about wade. and the knuckles (and sonic and tails) i know would not be friends with cops </3 #well at least the story wasnt knuckles training wade to be a better cop like a lot of people were expecting but thats like.the bare minimum #also aside from the issues relating to knuckles' screentime (or lack of screentime) i thought the ending was unsatisfying #regardless of all that though there WERE some parts i enjoyed or found kind of funny or whatever. because knuckles so cutesy as always #knuckles being a cute little guy is the most important part of the show actually #and i liked the parts with sonic tails and maddie even if they were only there for like 5 minutes #(i really wish those three had gotten more screentime. i feel like they could have easily worked in at least one more scene with them) #and its a minor thing but the opening sequence is cute. was honestly expecting just a title card or something #overall the show is just . kind of okay i guess. not the worst thing ive ever seen but still disappointing ? idk how to explain.. #my expectations also werent very high in the first place #so maybe im being a bit more generous than i would have been otherwise. idk #and i definitely would not recommend this to anyone who already dislikes the sonic movies . youll probably hate this more #like people who thought the human characters got too much screentime in the second movie would lose their minds if they saw this

#I'm a bit late but :) #Mmmhh lots of thoughts about this episode. Nothing really relevant though lol #I like it... Mostly. Well‚ I like Atsushi‚ and I like Atsushi screentime. #I always forget that there's actually a one week timeskip within the Guild arc #I think these chapters were generally better executed in the manga. #But even then it's just... #Why do the make the Guild / Fitzgerald so. dumb. Why do they make them act so wildly irrationally and at the protagonists' advantage #It really gives villain acting entirely mindlessly to make the plot advance and the heroes win. It's really sensless. #I mean especially when Atsushi yielded. Why didn't Fitzgerald take his offer. For real!! #For real. He had NOTHING to gain from proceeding with his plan. He already obtained for Atsushi and the ada to collaborate. #Now they are NEVER going to help him‚ and that's agreat loss for him. #And idk. i hear that little Tumblr post in my voice saying “why would you complain about characters acting irrationally! #Do people irl never act irrationally?” #And yeah I get Fitzgerald was frustrated for losing Mitchell and his fight with Hawthorne. Okay I understand. #But that's definitely too much. That's him acting downright stupid at the heroes' advantage and it's just pretty underwhelming to read? #That said. It's just general notes I'm not particularly annoyed because like. That's just b/s/d to you. Dumbing down the villains a second– #so the author can escape the trap they put themselves into. Very Marvel-esque move lol. #On that exact same note WHY WOULD LUCY HAVE THE DOLL. #The doll is the whole premise for your plan working why would you not protect it with everything 😭😭😭 #I'm not getting in the Lucy / Atsushi scene itself. I love Lucy but I swear every time that scene gets played a femminist dies #(it's me. I'm the femminist dying every time.) #Mmmhh a couple more things. I dislike the ost choice in the scene where Steinbeck is torturing Q it feels so out of place #And I really don't get what's the deal with the Hawthorne / Fitzgerald convo it's so confusing to me. Like it It looks like Hawtorne is– #blaming Fitzgerald for Mitchell's condition (both in health and for her family status) but... #Objectively neither of those things are Fitzgerald's fault? Idk maybe I just have very little media comprehension for this arc because– #a lot of things just seem to happen with no sense. But it's okay #Im complaining a lot lol but its mostly irrelevant things (or like with the dumbification of villains things I've learnt to live with lmao) #But the episode was generally nice. The animation this season is consistently very pretty. #random rambles
