people love to complain about sex scenes in tv shows and violence in movies when the real danger is scenes that make you feel second hand embarrassment.

Great Mouse Detective's clock tower scene lives in my head rent free so I did art based on it

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

technically sort of true things harry could potentially tell his mom that aren’t "i’m working with a team of thieves now":

"i do pro bono/volunteer work - using my legal knowledge and experience - for an international organisation which helps people seek justice from exploitative employers" (very true, sounds very reasonable, but why not spice it up a little?)

small theatre productions of original plays for private audiences

"well it’s not worse than what i was doing before, soooo…"

show her a picture of the Old Nate portrait and tell her thats the founder of the company

"have you ever heard of robin hood?"

joined a very intense improv class

working with some very high profile people and companies, naturally it’s all very confidential

"sophie provides advice for the people we work with. she’s… a consultant."

cosplay (explains the costumes)

"you know how i used to fix rich people’s problems? well, it’s kind of the other way around now."

criminal justice

financial planning

"thats classified"

helping to settle legal matters out of court

"breanna does the tech work, so does hardison when he’s available, though he’s often travelling to help manage other teams. to be honest i don’t really understand all the computer stuff so i can’t explain it."

"parker’s part of the work largely involves finances."

well, it definitely has a lot to do with the law!

"we provide… leverage"

his dark materials will literally always work bc every small child wants an animal companion that loves you most and goes on adventures with you and every adult wants an animal companion that can shoulder some of life’s immense psychologically damage for you. and you can pet it

I like the Colin Firth version of Darcy best because he really captures the ten thousand yard stare of helpless frustration that comes with knowing he fucked up another social situation.

That's the look of someone who's internal gears are furiously whirring to review what Rule Of Normal Social Contact he missed this time. Guy who is never, ever going to stop being so fucking awkward. Determinedly frustrated because he's following the rules, and it still blows up in his face. From a social engagement perspective, he falls for the fake road painted on the mountain's side every time and every social situation has the chance of slamming face first into a rock wall. Talking to people is like defusing a bomb. His friends all think he's cool as shit because of his word economy while he's full time trying to find the verbal cheat code to end every social interaction as quickly as possible.

I appreciate the fact that the Old Guard seems to implicitly understand what a lot of action movies don't: guns run out of ammo, but blades never run out of blade.

Like, it looks cool to have them running in there with old school swords, etc, but the kill floor fight makes it VERY clear that it's also a huge tactical advantage. The Guard can use gunfire as cover to close the distance to the enemy line, and then by the time they're close enough to use a blade, they're past the effective range of a gun. You CAN be shot within that range, obviously, but (especially with bigger guns) it gets hard to maneuver a good shot and much easier to be disarmed. So they just use up their bullets closing the gap, under their own cover fire, and then shove a sword into someone's throat.

This is the inherent advantage to bayonets. It is also why many kinds of bayonet violate the Geneva Convention.

In Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio called Tybalt "Prince of Cats" because there was a book, popular at the time, with a cat prince named Tybalt in it. He was making a pop culture reference. Therefore, I move, that in a modern Romeo and Juliet retelling, Tybalt should be named Garfield.

it is funny having a big heavy purse bc people who don't carry bags are always like "god what do u even have in there" and then every time you hang out they need something that you have in there

As much as I love ‘I would kill for you’, it kinda really loses its impact if the person saying it is a villain who already kills at the slightest provocation

’I would refrain from killing for you, I would spare them all if you asked me’ is a very sexy alternative, and a much more powerful declaration of love coming from a character prone to violence

you ever watch something and just think... "god i cannot wait to get on ao3 after this"
