Mary, 30s, she/her, bi. I like to write about handsome men being kind. (AO3) (tumblr fic masterlist) (send an ask) (donate to a good cause) (click if you feel down) (fic recs)
I finally watched The Great Wall tonight with my friend (he actually saw it back in the cinema back in 2016 so perhaps he is the true Pedro fan between us) and while it was pretty... *ahem* rough plot wise...
Was definitely worth watching it for certain... reasons...
Love me a brooding man in armour with big brown eyes and a weapon strapped to his back...
ALSO the strut....
... was somewhat familiar 👀
Anyway I really enjoyed it for the reason I was watching it. I feel like Pero isn't spoken about much here but he was fun to watch and he had a bigger role than I expected. Don't know why it took me so long to watch it but can definitely recommend The Great Wall if you have a need to see a gorgeous man in armour in these trying times...
Watching a piece of media you don’t love for a particular actor is every P fan and Gladiator 😆 And 40% of his filmography if we’re really being honest 🫣
I started Bloodline but never finished it. Actually maybe I did but it was forgettable enough that I honestly don’t recall. I’m afraid that for me personally, I’ll never get over him as Coach.
Oop. Well I'll at least give it a few more episodes to see what I think! I'm definitely not above watching a piece of media I don't really love just for a particular actor 😂 Obviously same re: Coach, though.
MELISSA’S 225 FAVORITE SHIPS OF ALL TIME ranked by my followers

“I love you. I respect you. I am proud of you. I am in love with you completely.”
Recently rewatched all of Friday Night Lights and now I’m trying out Bloodline but I’m struggling to accept seeing Kyle Chandler acting married to someone other than Connie 😭 it feels wrong. Like who is this woman!!!!
What ARE the Pedro Scouts of Tumblr? Great question. Wait and see. No, I kid. Pedro Scouts is meant to be a place where you can engage in the light-hearted side of fandom whether you are a writer, a reader, an artist, a creator, or just here for a silly good time.
Who can join? Everyone is welcome! When sign-ups begin, there will be a little pledge, but we operate on the honor system around here: if you're a Scout in your heart, that's good enough for me.
How does this all work? Each week there will be badges posted that you can earn by engaging in (or having already done!) certain fandom-related things. The badges will range from creating for certain characters to writing or reblogging a trope to more general Tumblr things like sending an ask or playing a tag game. There will also be special events and activities as we groove along. As you get more badges (again, honor system! I trust you all!), you can move up the ranks of the Scouts. I'll keep a little list of where everyone is ranking, but this is just so you can see who else is up for tomfoolery.
So, the Scouts are really about...? About finding your people. You know, the ones who are down for silly asks and fun games, for random DMs and unhinged tags. It's about community via shenanigans.
“… how we can better create these roles such as the characters that @pascalispunk and myself play. Which are originally written as Caucasian roles and our show is an example of that. It could be anybody and we can see ourselves in people that don’t look like us.”
