The most painfully relatable thing for me in the movie was Superman/Clark talking about his favorite music and Lois basically calling him a poser-ass bitch

Love how Kara's idea of playing around with Krypto is him slamming her down so hard it cracks the ground, and how it pretty much says all you need to know about them

First, see what random superpower you get.

Second, see the other half of your powerset.

Lastly, see what character archetype you'll be.

Saw the Odyssey preview before Superman the other day and my immersion was instantly shattered when I heard Jon Bernthal's voice. Sorry Nolan, but he is just not suited for any role that takes place before the late 1900s.

First time I published an SCP in a long time, for the ongoing Classiccon contest. If you like articles about babies that turn people into toys, check it out.

Maybe I should get a letterboxd account

No, I don't genuinely think GRRM is trying to say that morality is hardwired from birth. I was making a joke about how his foreshadowing can sometimes be a little unsubtle in TWOIAF or F&B, like Jaehaerys theorizing that Dreamfyre's stolen eggs would turn to stone and end up with a spicemonger in Pentos (gee, who do we know by that description?)

Love how GRRM sometimes just dispenses with the nature vs nurture debate and says "this baby fucking sucks and is evil"

Queen Visenya put a sword into her son’s hand when he was three. Supposedly the first thing he did with the blade was butcher one of the castle cats, men said

and all rejoiced at the birth of this new prince…save mayhaps for his year-and-a-half-old brother, Aegon, who was discovered hitting the babe with the dragon’s egg that had been placed inside the cradle.

Lady Jeyne answered with children of her own, the first of whom was a son. He was given the name Tywin, and legend claims that when his grandsire Lord Gerold ruffled the babe's golden hair, the child bit his finger.

House Blackfyre of Tyrosh

Aenys, Calla, Daemon II & Haegon circa 209 AC

Fun fact about the full version of this quote: directly beforehand they argue that Tywin is only a villain because we see it from the Starks' POV, and also that Daenerys crucifying slavers is apparently just as bad as the Red Wedding. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ok I just saw this quote trending again and like. I knew about the last Weiss bit. I didn’t know about the whole. everything else of it all

You know, I love the consistent character trait that the Tardis just decides to redecorate herself every so often to go along with her new Doctor's regeneration. If he/she gets to put on a new face, so does she, its only fair.

Hot take but if you can't find some small amount of pity for Viserys, you're not a real Dany fan.

Viserys had been stupid and vicious, she had come to realize, yet sometimes she missed him all the same. Not the cruel weak man he had become by the end, but the brother who had sometimes let her creep into his bed, the boy who told her tales of the Seven Kingdoms, and talked of how much better their lives would be once he claimed his crown.

"Do you think it will truly come to battle between them? If they should come to some accord—" "They won't," Tyrion said. "They are too different and yet too much alike, and neither could ever stomach the other."

Tyrion and Cersei looking at Renly and Stannis fighting each other, instead of uniting against their common enemy:

Alright people I love supernatural as much as the next guy, but you've gotta stop using the cas and Dean meme for serious stuff like the US bombing Iran. People are dying.

Reading the Iliad: Man, Achilles is kind of an asshole. Odysseus is cool though.

Reading Iphigenia in Aulis: Actually, Achilles has not done a single thing wrong ever in his life. Also, Odysseus should be set on fire.

Trojan War AU where Aeneas manages to grab Cassandra and Astyanax and brings them with him to Rome

So, everyone at this point knows that Withers is Jergal. But did you know that Withers used to be in love with Shar and pursued her multiple times? (Source is the 2E adventure book Netheril: Empire of Magic)

He admired the ineffable evil and seductive Power, grace of Shar and had formally courted her on several occasions, though he was well aware of the many attempts she made to manipulate him.

Yeah, the guy who lectures us on not getting distracted by romance tried to woo Shar, of all goddesses.
