endless list of otps: (remake) Callum and Rayla, The Dragon Prince
To have that kind of strength, it's not enough to love someone. You have to trust them to share the burdens you carry. [...] Callum, there's a... burden I'm carrying, and I've kept it a secret. And maybe that's part of what's made things weirder with us. But I think—I know that I trust you to help me carry this. If you're okay with that? Rayla. We've been through a lot together. And a lot has changed. Well, some things have changed—but not everything: I would do anything for you.
It's comforting to me to know that Hugh Laurie said House was not long for this world as well, and the director and others saying that season 8 would be the last.
Wilson is always there. He'll leave sometimes, or won't be there for a couple of episodes (months or a year in House timelime), but he comes back. It is clear throughout the story that there is no House without Wilson. House cannot exist without Wilson in the narrative, and it's beautiful that the show ends with the both of them riding off into the sunset. Season 9 cannot exist because if Wilson isn't there, then House won't be either.
I have been through beloved shows that i was very attached to getting canceled. I have also been through beloved shows that i was very attached to gradually becoming so terrible that I either stopped watching in disgust, or didn't stop watching and seethed with resentment at the ruin of a source of joy.
OKAY there's a lot of context behind this one srry but anyhow this post was made a couple days ago , i absolutely loved it and whatnot .. now exactly ONE DAY LATER i went to a thrift store and copped this coat that is eerily similar to the one Macho's wearing in that drawing , and i wanted to wear it with this outfit that i have planned in my head so i put 2 and 2 together and doodled Macho in said outfit 🩷
+ ADDITIONAL JOKE / TWEET EDIT UNDER CUT BUT WARNING ITS VERY VULGAR AND I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE 😭 I PROMISE THIS IS NAWT MY USUAL BEHAVIOR BUT IT WAS THE SECOND THING THAT POPPED IN MY HEAD + HEIKE MENTION SO I CANT NOT ADD IT
Refreshing but strange to watch a show like omitb where they can set up the next season at the end of the previous one because they know the show is going to continue, no having to wrap everything up neatly on the off chance the show is canned. They don’t make tv like this anymore
el has never been able to kill vecna. she wins the battle by casting him away, but she fails to win the war. he's patient zero for powers, absorbed the powers of all the lab kids, has the upside down and all of its monsters on his side, and has even absorbed her powers.
she's a force to be reckoned with, but she's not stronger than him. not even with the help of everyone fighting together and hitting vecna from every single angle was she able to defeat him. she isn't the cure, she wasn't the right choice, the risk did not pay off, they rolled the die and they came up short, the odds were not on their side, and blahblahblah insert every other phrase that people used in this season alone to defend that choice here.
she fights, but she doesn't come up with plans. she knows him from her childhood, but she doesn't have direct access to his mind. she's brave, and she's strong, and she's powerful, but it's not enough to win on her own in a one-on-one fight.
will knows vecna's plans. he knows how he thinks, what he thinks. he has a direct status update on how he's doing. he's the first to know when something is happening regarding the upside down and vecna. he's familiar with the upside down, with possession, with the man that's eluded them for so long. he has access to invaluable knowledge that no one else does. it's not something that he has to think about—he just knows. and he's never been wrong.
the demogorgons knew where he was, but they never killed him or camped at his house. we know that he was dragged to the library, which is where the rifts collide, instead of being instantly killed like so many other victims. we know that he manipulated the lights in a way that is different to how the teens did it in season four, and that he also managed to make them move in a circle the way that the lab kids did. we know that there was a point in time when vecna wanted to kill everyone but him. we know that there was a time when vecna wanted him and sent in dogs to get him back. time in the upside down is stuck not on the day that el first opened the gate at eight years old, but on the day that will entered it. furthermore, if henry entered the upside down as we know it on that day years ago, then that also means that will was able to shape it to look like hawkins.
dustin rolled an eleven and lost. eleven went against vecna with the help of everyone and lost. the gates opened up and max is now missing. it's a repeat of season one. everyone that told them this was a risky idea and that they weren't ready was right.
meanwhile, mike and will worked together as a team with no daylight between them in season two, and they managed to close the gate and save the world. they failed to do that in season four, because they were keeping things from each other and thus weren't working as a true team. when they finally start being entirely truthful with each other again in season five, we'll undoubtedly see them save the day again.
will told el that they would fix this together. erica subbed for lucas against vecna, rolled a twenty, and won. will was positioned next to a "the cure" poster, is the only person truly aware of vecna, has a greater connection to the upside down than we previously thought and capabilities that we've yet to uncover, cast the winning fireball against their campaign villains before, was associated with the number twenty and one, has beat the odds more than once, is vecna's character foil, and is confirmed to be getting a bigger focus next season.
I have never done a video before, so I don't know how well this will work -
Lost Symbol - season 1 episode 6, where Robert Langdon has been kidnapped with his mentor, Peter, and they're being forced to solve riddles and clues that supposedly lead to an untapped wealth of knowledge that will make anyone who finds it god-like (short version). This is what happens when Peter refuses to divulge masonic secrets, even to save his own life.
Doesn't hold the same when it's Robert's life on the line.
