listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

When Super Mario Bros (1993) made waves as one of the worst video game adaptations of all time, it almost overshadowed the release of Space Bulls (1993), an adaptation of the pay-to-play arcade game by the same name.
The adaptation, originally released on VHS, lacks all the rainbow-powered glitz of its namesake. Where "Space Bulls" was a gem of silliness and fun at late-night pizzerias, Space Bulls remains a reactionary product of its time, featuring grittier characters, a convoluted story about lost friendships and betrayal, and of course, racing in space.
In 2009, Space Bulls was digitized and distributed to a small smattering of audiences in Malaysia and Singapore. Dedicated fans copied, sold, and pirated the film into its current worldwide influence, reaching a peak in mainstream pop culture in 2013, when a line said by the film's deuteragonist went viral on Twitter.
Interestingly enough, Space Bulls has garnered something of a renaissance cult following in recent years, almost a decade after the height of its notoriety. Fans on social media tend to post every Monday about both the game and the film, and yearly rewatches have become large-scale events on the film's release anniversary, March 24.

Sonic is not an indecisive character, by any means. He'll mull over something sometimes, but once he makes up his mind, it’s very hard to sway him because he lives by his way (his own way). If there is something he doesn’t agree with or doesn’t want to do, he straight up won’t do it.
That said, a huge part of Sonic’s character is acquiescence.
Sonic is good to go with the flow. He doesn’t always need to be in charge. He doesn’t always need things to go his way or according to a plan. And most importantly, as a character who talks a lot to avoid actually saying anything, his actions really do speak louder than words.
So, what’s important to understand is that Sonic goes along with things—even things that don't always come naturally to him—not because he feels obligated, forced, or pressured, but because he’s a more willing participant than he wants to let on.
Why? Because it’s easier to let the water flow when someone else opens the floodgates.

wilson is sosososoooo crazy batshit interesting guy who cares so much he can only love someone if they need him. cares so much that he can’t truly love, he can only care. all of his relationships are about him caring so much and giving so much and sacrificing so much being so selfless that he ends up just resenting the other person. house is the only person he manages to be selfish with but however also house is the king of neediness he needs more than anyone and so wilson’s more selfless for house than he is for anyone else. and it’s posited that the reason their relationship doesn’t end is because house’s neediness is so deep and so much that it’ll never end but this isn’t true. in holding on wilson realises that house’s need for him and his selflessness for house aren’t products of his need to be needed but instead products of his love. his love for house. that’s what sets their relationship apart. house is the only person who needs wilson purely out of love and house is the only person who wilson loves purely out of love. wilson doesn’t love house because of his need to care, he cares for house because he loves him. he doesn’t want to fix house he just wants to fuck him. basically

my fave chengxian reconciliation scenario is wei wuxian slowly realizing that the life of a wanderer isn’t actually what he wants and lotus pier is his home and more clearly, living in a world with jiang cheng but not actually being something to jiang cheng isn’t what he wants either

Made an 1987 Venus, and a 2012 Venus, so I’ve been long overdue to make a 2003 Venus! Tada~
In this interpretation, Venus wasn’t initially separated from her brothers. Instead, she was raised alongside them-up until the family went on the trip to Japan to return Hamato Yoshi’s ashes. The whole ordeal with the ninja tribunal happened around about the same, however at the end, while erasing the turtles memories, the tribunal saw Venus’s mystic potential and took her away to be trained by them, wiping her families memories of her as well.
Skip ahead a few years, and when Leo his sent away from is family-instead of the Ancient One, he meets her. Another turtle willing to help who feels so so familiar…
