OWEN WILSON as MOBIUS M. MOBIUS LOKI S01E01 “Glorious Purpose”

[pendragonsclotpole]

don’t forget spock’s radiant smile and “JIM” when he sees kirk. that’s classic housewife greets husband back from the warfront

on amok time again: they really did "spock experiences primal alien mating drive and murder fuck ritual," and didn't even play with "and this is an excuse to see our prim and proper mr spock get sensual with a lady!". like he expends ALL of his hot dominating fantasy uncontrollable lust rage energy ON KIRK. they wrote that and had ONE chance to make spock have any scandalous, carnal housewife jerk off material romance they wanted with any sexy space woman in the universe, and they chose kirk. when he does interact with a woman he throws a soup at her

i keep seeing the superman promo posts on instagram and like the lex luthor/superman tag on ao3 is going to explode with this new movie. i am ready, my popcorn is ready

i have so many thoughts on conclave that i seriously need to post, but first, where is all the love and where is the adaptation for robert harris’ imperium??? i finished reading conclave and found another robert harris book to read on my kindle app, not thinking much of it but Imperium is such a good book!!!! I’m half way through it and I’m so invested in the storyline. Tiro, Cicero’s enslaved speechwriter, is such a fascinating character. He fears for his life at any given moment, and yet he still keeps such a calm and collected head even as the extremely powerful and petty men around him lose their collective shits. Not only is Tiro one of the most beautifully written characters I’ve ever read (Harris really mastered the art of direct and indirect characterization, both from what we read through Tiro’s mind, what we read of Tiro’s perception of Cicero, and what Tiro thinks of other characters like Pompey and Julius Caesar), his relationship to Cicero is so lovely. He makes me root for Cicero, even when I genuinely cannot believe how horrible and full of himself Cicero is. Like Cicero lives up to the ideals of the time, and he’s much better than his contemporaries, but he’s still a cunning, conniving politician willing to sacrifice his own values for the sake of power.

also someone needs to write a historical au!conclave fanfiction. i have no idea how that would even work, but it would be a vision

finally watching conclave and goffredo tedesco is so fucking cunty. the man needs to chill

Currently thinking about this old man and how absolutely desirable he is to my eyes

[pendragonsclotpole]

aka the cardinals were infighting and decided to go moderate (the secret third thing) and did it before they realized this meant electing an american

the new pope is neither woke nor not woke but some secret third thing (american)

[pendragonsclotpole]

i am choosing to subscribe to the theory that this was done so pope leo could in fact excommunicate jd vance

commentators are saying that the vatican wants to unite the world by chosing a usamerican pope...

bitch who tf likes the usa right now??? who are you uniting?? 😭😭😭

[pendragonsclotpole]

does this mean he’ll be featured on the next season of the bear?

so apparently the new pope's from Chicago?

all i can think of is this:

[pendragonsclotpole]

fun fact about me, I studied religion in college, with a focus on the united states

never in my wildest dreams did i imagine an american (eg. from the United States) would be elected as pope in my lifetime. not to mention ever

I took a course called Catholicism in America, and if you know anything about the history of Catholicism in America, you know how unprecedented and historic this is. regardless of your respective beliefs or opinions on the catholic church, this is mind blowing. my inner scholar, the one that has not read a JAAR article in years, is freaking out

i know the catholic church as a whole is not quick to change, so the shock will probably wear off once he continues as usual, but a conclave of 133 cardinals choosing a man from the same country whose president posted an AI generated image of himself as pope is WILD

i need a conclave movie about this asap

[pendragonsclotpole]

i swear if someone is attacking ao3 again i will leave my current career and become a software engineer or whatever the hell i need to support them

you know how serious i am? i know NOTHING about how computer works beyond the basics of what ever young millennial/older gen z learned growing up in the 2000s and 2010s BUT I WILL LEARN

brb gonna go write a one shot about arthur braiding merlin’s hair and weaving flowers/a flower crown into it

istg bbc merlin wouldve been so much cooler if they let colin morgan have long hair. not even like shoulder length, literally just a fewww inches longer and it wouldve looked sm better for the setting. i occasionally see longer haired colin morgan and feel ROBBED!!

Happy valentines day!! Here are (some) of the most romantic lines from NBC Hannibal.

“I don’t find you that interesting.” / “You will.”

"I see his madness, and I want to contain it, like an oil spill."

"I let you know me. See me. I gave you a rare gift, but you didn't want it." / "Didn't I?"

"You cannot control with respect to whom you fall in love."

"I would have liked to have shown you Florence, Will."

“I don't know if I can save myself. Maybe that's just fine.”

“No one can be fully aware of another human being unless we love them.”

"You were supposed to leave." / "We couldn’t leave without you."

"I wasn't decided when I called him. I just called him. I deliberated while the phone rang. I decided when I heard his voice." / "I wanted to run away with him."

“Hannibal… I forgive you.” / “You dropped your forgiveness, Will. You forgive how God forgives.”

"Do you fantasize about killing me?" / "Yes." / "Tell me, how would you do it?" / "With my hands."

"I have never known myself as well as I know myself when I'm with him."

"Is Hannibal in love with me?' / "Could he daily feel a stab of hunger for you and find nourishment at the very sight of you? Yes. But do you... ache for him?'

“I need you, Hannibal.”

“If I saw you every day, forever, Will, I would remember this time.”

“And the bluff is still eroding. You and I are suspended over the roiling Atlantic. Soon all of this will be lost to the sea.”

“This is all I ever wanted for you, Will. For both of us.” / "It’s beautiful."

what i exactly thought of when i saw on the news that pope francis has been hospitalized for a respiratory infection

[pendragonsclotpole]

i just saw a news headline that said the pope was rebuking jd vance’s theology and ngl i would literally die of laughter if the pope were to excommunicate jd vance
