I had THE most impeccable dream last night.

[monstersqueen]

it's kind of a shame that mob psycho 100 was released before these talks of 'main character energy' and 'npc behavior' really started to take hold in an annoying way. 'i am the protagonist of the world' no you're not you're the protagonist of your own life just like everybody else is. bitch.

Not to be Dutch on main but it always blindsides me when people cite 6ft as Very Tall for a man, as if it's just an Absolute Tower of male specimen, because... that's just 1m83? Sorry but is the tower in the room with us?

Genuinely from the way people act about 6ft for the longest time I thought its metric equivalent was 2m (6'5.5) lmao

Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater in TITANIC (1997)

There was this myth, I think, that was created by the media that the films entire success was based on 14-year-old girls going back to see it over and over again because they were in love with Leo. Certainly, that was a factor. But I also think they missed a critical point, which is teenage girls love the movie because it was about them. And they related to Rose. — James Cameron (Director)

So when I decided to write the book on it and I went to see the movie again, there were two teenage girls sitting behind me and they were weeping. And I said, "How often have you seen this film?" And they said, "Oh maybe six or seven times." And I said, "Why do you love this film so much that you keep seeing it?" They said the payoff in the movie for them was seeing those photographs at the end. It was seeing this old woman who had been the young woman and that she had lived a rich and really full life. And that she had survived all these troubles and had made something of herself. And that was so inspiring.

— David Lubin (Author of BFI Modern Classics: "Titanic")

S16 Round 1

Lab Partners (Jackass Edition)

Okay so A is the ostensible straight man of the duo while B is the outward chaos factory. B invents a device for time travel and responds to A's concerns with "What, like it's hard?" Eventually B gets arrested for his Science Crimes and, at the trial A stands up an appaulds??? in front of everyone. And is basically like "This is the smartest idiot I've ever met. He invented TIME TRAVEL." No one else understands where A's coming from but will allow B to continue to do wacky science but ONLY under A's supervision.

Also B canonically spends time in his lab doing his weird science with the hopes that A will walk in and swoon and/or be jealous because they're DEFINITELY Science Rivals (they aren't).

Requiem

cw: death, attempted murder, nonconsensual transformation

In life, Serenade and Wildfire were friends and rivals. Wildfire was skilled and respected, but Serenade was a genius who died young.

They meet again as spirits after dying. Serenade is broadly unchanged -- irreverent, mischievous and proud as ever -- but the same cannot be said of Wildfire. The rumours that he was behind Serenade's death corrupted his spirit, leaving him as an amalgam, partly the kind and teacherly man he was in life and partly an entity hellbent on Serenade's destruction.

The very real threat to his life means nothing to Serenade, who decides to simply pick up where they left off; teasing Wildfire, hanging around him, and generally being his irritating self. In many ways, he still understands his old friend better than anyone.

S16 Round 1

These Boots are Made for Walkin’

cw: spoilers

Ocean is an investigative journalist, and views Forest, a former miner who now spends his life travelling, as a valuable source for a big story. As someone more acquainted with long-distance travel, Ocean enthusiastically offers her help to Forest, and the two have fun while waiting for their flights… at least, until Forest, less of a “clueless tourist” than Ocean had assumed he would be, realizes Ocean views him as more of a "valuable source for her next big story" than as a friend. He decides he can’t trust her before departing on his flight. Still, despite Forest eventually finding a new job and a partner who he actually can trust, he does remain in touch with Ocean. The two chat about the places they each visit… and sometimes, call for help. Forest and Ocean are both magnets for trouble and regularly need to free each other from disastrous situations.

This pattern continues for years. They begin to rely on each other, but also can't stand each other. They regard each other with a mixture of respect and utter disappointment. They've never dated, but they're also somehow exes.

One day, Forest gets into trouble yet again, making a difficult choice-- one that Ocean finds unconscionable, and one that will send Forest alone down a dark path. Still, Ocean walks Forest towards his "end", reassuring him in his moment of crisis even though she knows she'll be cursing his name later. Forest knows this too, giving Ocean a souvenir from where they first met in the hopes that it will be a reminder of who he used to be. They part ways, confident that this decision will be what ultimately tears them apart… though fate ensures that this meeting will be far from their last.

partners in solving crimes (& committing fraud)

A and B are childhood best friends who are on the surface complete polar opposites. A is an ADHD-having chaotic troublemaker who lies when it’s to his advantage (or just for fun) while B is a chronic worrier who claims to just want to live by the straight and narrow and not get into trouble. However, B cannot keep himself from getting tangled up in A’s antics, and they care about each other to a somewhat worryingly codependent degree. Both of them share a level of immaturity (that B tries to hide) that allows them to bond. The most major of A’s escapades leads to him convincing the local police department that he’s psychic so he can use his remarkable observation skills to solve cases. B is dragged into this like all of A’s other hijinks and ends up finding, despite his qualms with committing fraud, the ridiculous nicknames A makes up for him 24/7, and the semi-regular life-threatening situations, that he enjoys solving cases. B’s variety of incredibly random interests (spelling, safecracking, ferroequinology, area codes…) often contribute to helping A solve whatever murder they’re working on. Never once behaving professionally, they continually outdo the police in crime solving all while bickering like a married couple 24/7.
