I'm going to be honest; I used to hate being able to speak Welsh. Thought it was pointless because no one spoke much of it around my area and most of my friends are English speakers.

I don't know when, but it just somehow clicked that I'm lucky to be able to speak it, to read it and understand it, because the amount of bastards who speak Welsh to bitch about others or have private conversations in front of me just to be shocked when I turn around and speak Welsh back is just *chefs kiss*.

Plus, Welsh is older than English. And they've stolen enough from other countries that it'd be a crime if one of the last surviving languages of the Brythonic Era of Britain died out.

no but i am genuinely impressed that they made me root for john walker without retconning anything about his personality or his actions. he's a pro-military patriot dipshit deadbeat dad who thinks every action he takes is the correct one without fail because he has mentally classified himself as The Good Guy and everybody else as The Bad Guy. but they put him in this ragtag antihero team of controversial suicidals and he just Fits. like yeah he fits in there. with the other murderers and mercenaries and losers, who only know how to kill, and despise everything about themselves. and that, more than anything else about the movie, is truthful to the nature of the thunderbolts as a team. their point is that they kind of suck ass, most of them disagree wildly on politics and philosophy, all of them have killed innocents, and they're not above the pettiest, most assholeish behavior ever put to either screen or paper. that's the core of the thunderbolts, and that's what they nailed. without actually including any of the comic book thunderbolts.

Thunderbolts* (2025) + text posts

Regulus who was terrified of his boyfriend's son not liking him

Regulus who has never once thought he should be a parent after his own childhood

Regulus who meets harry for the first time and is shaking so bad out of anxiety

Regulus who immediately gets claimed by this mini James with big puppy eyes

Regulus who for the first time feels like maybe he can be something good

James who is crying watching his two favorite people bond

[pa-nd-em-on-iu-mp-an-da]

selectively mute regulus because of trauma. he saw what being loud did to sirius, so he chose to stay silent, not even a whisper at night.

james who's CODA, seeing him talking in sign language with sirius as they get to the train, and going immediately to him to introduce himself, and just starting to ramble endlessly, hands moving as fast as lightning, sometimes even babbling from excitement.

regulus just stares at him, it's the first time someone has been that excited from just meeting him. it's so unfamiliar and an insane contrast from how he gets treated at home. it's endearing, and james doesn't stop, goes from one topic to another and asks a million questions.

it's so endearing and bizarre that regulus let's out a little laugh, and it definitely sounds weird, voice raspy and almost gone from years of not using it, but it's still a whisper of a laugh, barely there but loud enough to hear. something he hasn't done in so long he's surprised he can even manage to remember how to do it.

he stops it immediately.

james thinks it's his life mission to hear it again.

harry who is a very possessive baby, especially towards regulus.

he's maybe 10 months old when luna is born, and while everyone tried to warm him up to the idea of having a little sister, he wasn't able to commit.

so the first time he saw regulus holding the tiny bundle, he just started shrieking like he was dying.

regulus was so confused, and both lily and pandora couldn't stop giggling.

harry was a perfectly good and cute baby, thank you very much. he didn't mind when anyone else was holding little luna (though he did look a bit mad the first times he saw pandora nursing her).

but regulus is forbidden.

harry could be dutifully playing with his toys like the perfect baby he is, or just crawling all over the house, not minding anything at all. however, the second luna is in regulus arms, he suddenly needs his appa, immediately.

james likes to comment his genes are at fault for that. lily can't help but agree.

they have to live like that for a couple of weeks until harry is able to understand that regulus is perfectly capable of loving and holding both of them at the same time.

it's funny, especially because as they grow, harry ends up absolutely adoring luna. and they love to tease him with the videos they have of harry absolutely screaming his little lungs out.

sam getting so much hate because of a movie he wasn’t even in is crazy work

[pa-nd-em-on-iu-mp-an-da]

I'm going to be honest—I don't see the whole conflict between Sambucky thing as a problem. I don't think there's a conflict at all, I think it's just how they usually are lol. Annoying each other, stuff like that. But I don't think they're going to end their friendship(or relationship) because of a name. It's not a major argument, it's just them annoying each other again, standing off while it doesn't really affect their relationship, because why would something like that?

Also if anyone can separate work from their personal life I feel like it'd be them yknow? Maybe that's just me. I love the 'conflict at work, content at home' trope.

I don't think the Midnight Entity has necessarily become corporeal given that it's still rationally impossible to be hiding behind Aliss where everyone SHOULD be able to see it. The glimpses we do see matches with the description given by the drivers in the original episode, not to mention that it literally RIPPED THE COCKPIT OFF THE TRUCK so we know it has the insane strength it displayed in The Well. the reason why nobody was repeating or copying when they were selected was because that Thing had already learned language and the complexities of human paranoia as we saw in Midnight. There also wasn't any tangible evidence it wasn't corporeal before, or that it didn't become corporeal after it learned from Skyy Sylvestry.

so in conclusion, no I don't think this episode retconned any of the established facts from Midnight, and I think its more fun to headcanon and theorize the inconsistencies than complaining that rules aren't the same. I do however, think Wild Blue Yonder is a much better spiritual sequel with the secluded bottle episode format and the creature learning by copying.

most important part of the writing process actually is when you loop a single song on max volume and stare at the word document and imagine the characters doing things for 14 hours. this is known as getting in the zone

Liz Truss killed the Queen. J D Vance killed the Pope. We must all unite to protect David Attenborough from fascist politicians, before they get him too.
