okay but if we’re going to go with theatre major phoenix we need to go full fucking theatre major phoenix
like he shows up in germany the first time like “if there’s time for it i’d love to catch a show while i’m here, germany has such a vibrant theatre scene”.
and edgeworth's like “absolutely we can make that happen, i believe there’s a major schiller production running at the moment and it should have english surtitles”.
and phoenix is like “oh yeah no i’m sure it’s really solid but actually there’s a shakespeare production i’m interested in”.
edgeworth is like “okay odd choice for someone supposedly interested in the german theatre scene, but yeah who can say no to shakespeare". but they get there and it turns out it's this like peak weird experimental avant-garde german theatre production of coriolanus that’s set in a bdsm club. for like four hours edgeworth keeps looking over at phoenix like “what in the actual fuck is happening right now right now” but no matter what is happening onstage, phoenix just keeps watching it intently, finger pressed to his lips, the same pensive furrow to his brow that he gets in court when listening to testimony.
but afterwards when they're sipping their after-show aftercare tea in the lobby phoenix is waving his arms all over the place as he's like “SUCH an effective use of consent! the way they just continually wove it into everything. the almost brechtian emersion it created. the way it laid bare the underlying themes around consent of the governed. and then tying that in with the obvious angle of the performative masculinity of militarism and an audience that demands to be played to, and drawing the comparison between that and both bdsm AND theatre itself. an obvious comparison of course, but SO well done! just wow!"
and edgeworth who still hasn't quite managed to process anything beyond that first moment when coriolanus walked onstage in full leather daddy get-up and has a white-knuckled death grip on the after-show aftercare blanket wrapped around his shoulders just nods weakly and croaks out a vague “i'm glad you enjoyed it”
like he's gotta be into weird and experimental theatre. he can't have been a theatre major and NOT be into weird and experimental theatre. sure he'll go see the schiller production and enjoy it, but bdsm coriolanus is what gets his Theatre Kid blood pumping, y'know.

Combining 'cap is presumed to be kryptonian' with the divine twitch chat with what the wiki calls straight up clairvoyance to create 'cap is assumed to be superman's ancestor come here from krypton millenia ago to protect and guide us'.
Because a) like superman, marvel is widely believed to have no secret identity at all - he bares his face entirely! He's a huge kinda dorky wall of muscle who never says anything worse than heck, everything about that stands out. It's assumed they jet off to the same place on their downtime, the famous fortress of solitude.
B) cap may not have a Supers senses, but between his almost precognition, his uncanny ability to pick up lies, his tendency to suddenly pause and listen to someone unheard before randomly jetting off, and his occasional one sided discussions that leave him with more information than he had before, it's pretty easily implied he has them (it's the chat piping in. He's gotten quite good at filtering out the actually important information).
C) no one really knows how aliens age anyway - and with magic, who knows what an already op hyper advanced alien race could do??? There's substantial proof cap has been around for MILLENIA, if you know where to look (that fact that a good chunk of stuff is Black Adam distresses Billy no end, but it doesn't seem like he left any trace of his evil doings (he rules a country, and ancient murals of you summoning hordes of demons to decimate the earth does not good pr make). He's probably immortal! He talks like he is, sometimes.
D) supes and cap get on really well! Almost... Unusually well. (the Internet reads too much into two dudes who aren't afraid of emotions finding unexpected kinship in their hero life.) there's definitely something else going on there and everyone knows superman is head over heels for batman so it's not that.
E) he's a captain! He's a champion! Apparently his home base can be accessed anywhere in the universe??? Like, say, another planet??
So why did he come to earth? Why did he really only emerge again now, after centuries of total radio silence? It was... Right after superman debuted... Well, give or take a few years, but what's that to an immortal being?!
A jl member brings up the rumours during a meeting and Billy nearly chokes trying not spittake at the justice league table. Superman blue screens visibly.
Then someone asks cap if he's sure his body is human, and??? IS IT??!!! The wizard would have said something, right??!! Ghost or not??
The delay is just long enough to make the gossip mongers interested.

TWELVEROSE/TUCKERROSE AU | The Communications Director & The Call Girl
[ID: a set of four gifs with edited captions to give the appearance of a phone conversation between AU rose and AU twelve/tucker. the first gif is of rose in the bath; her phone is resting next to her on a stool. she's captioned as saying, 'hello?' the second gif is a closer-up shot of twelve/tucker's face as he leans forward in his office chair. he's saying, 'oh, am i your booty call now?' the third gif is of rose leaning slightly closer to her phone, saying, 'd'you know what a booty call actually is?' the fourth and final gif is back to twelve/tucker, who seems amused and slightly offended as he says, 'well, i learned from you!' /END ID]

I’m just saying. Ninjago fandom. Y’all are doing a big silly. You’re all being very silly guys rn. The whole scene where we see a memorial of cole, and we see Lloyd looking at it and we hear a child say “but now no one knows where they are” actually implies the ninja aren’t dead. It’s implying that Ninjago citizens thought they were, and the fact that Lloyd (who would’ve been thought dead too) is in that scene means the whole “thought dead” thing is wrong. Considering half the ninja are fine, idk why anyone is assuming everyone else died offscreen. The fakeout deaths have altered your brain chemistry. Ninjago isn’t even trying to convince you the ninja are dead, y’all are fakeout death-ing yourselves.
Fr I mean this gently but it’s like half of you are convinced the series is bad before it’s even aired and it’s really starting to smell like cinema sins in here.

Watching the Boston Legal season 5 special features and there is an entire deleted storyline about Denny having a daughter. Liveblogging my thoughts <3
Alan buying matching slippers for his sleepovers with Denny. Flamingo moment
Alan in a rare brown (?) suit
A woman threatening/promising to tie Alan up, asking him to spank her
Alan on a date and being properly flirty for the first time all season finally??
Alan saying he loves waking up next to Denny. Flamingo moment
Alan loves Werner Herzog he's my soulmate fr
Alan fan of age gaps
ALAN IN HIS PERVERT TRENCH COAT AGAIN!!! <333
ALAN’S CAR
ALAN OPEN-MOUTHED KISS WITH TONGUE!!!!!!!
I just realized her name is Liz LMAOOO lizzington nation where are you STAND UP!!!!
Alan tries to prove how respectful he is to women and gets called a hound dog and a pervert. True
Alan calling Denny a deadbeat dad wow that was one of the meanest things he's ever said definitely NOT a flamingo moment
Denny playing Legend of Zelda on the Wii in his office
Denny: "I love you like a son, I don't want to lose you, I don't think I could bear to lose what we've got, honestly I don't think I could survive it." Alan: "Denny, you will never, ever lose me, ever." Flamingo moment
Balcony scene: Denny suggests he and Alan adopt a baby together. Flamingo moment
D'Elia said they cut this storyline bc the emotion wasn't quite there, they needed more scenes to make it happen and didn't have the time. I think if this was a plot in season 4 or earlier in season 5 (or if season 5 got a full 20+ episode order instead of just 13) it could've worked but it's for the best it was cut. It would be too big and too rushed for something the week before the series finale
Since it never aired and the actress who plays Denny's daughter ends up playing the opposing attorney at the Supreme Court the next episode, I don't think this is canon. But Alan and Denny having matching slippers is real to me
If I had a nickel for every time James Spader was a main character on a multi-season network television show that included a storyline about a complicated confusingly erotic relationship between a wealthy powerful potential father figure and a daughter named Liz I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice

5-year-old Gohan driving a jet plane before Goku and Piccolo knew how to start a car
Funnily enough, it still makes sense that he doesn't know how to cross the street despite the fact, because:
He has never lived in the city before.
He's always with adults when they go to the city (unless he's flying with ki to get there).
Knowing how to cross the street is not a requirement in driving aircrafts or in fighting world-ending threats.
He can literally fly. What would he need street signs for?!
Which then got me asking, WHY does he need to drive an aircraft?!
