bold move honestly to have all the characters yell every argument they knew fans would have at ted for why he should stay, and not have him say they’re wrong, or offer anything to counter it. Because at the end of the day it was his son. It was only his son. His son was the period at the end of the sentence, and always was going to be. Nothing else mattered, he was going home to his boy.
Literally if they were right I'd agree but it's them they know, not me. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go.
Light: Oh, they left the bowl out?
Light: It says, “Take two pieces of candy.”
L: Nobody around though…
*L grabs the entire bowl and runs off with it*
Light: NO—
To me personally malistaire is the funniest and most pathetic villain wizard101 has ever had AND I MEAN THAT SINCERELY!!! Between doomed children who have been manipulated, groomed, and isolated into becoming products of their environments, someone scorned who has been punished unfairly by having your biological heart torn out your chest and turning your children and all of reality against you to satiate their own ego, a nonhuman entity so powerful and so clueless they unintentionally threaten the lives of everyone around them, Malistaire FELL DOWN BRO. Like yeah you're bitchless now. You and me both. Get in line. Everyone in this room is bitchless. We are ALL living that ✨💅���💃🕺 Single Life™. You are a middle-aged man. Cope
maybe if vash and nai combined the singular trauma-riddled braincell they each have left and met somewhere in the middle between "religious cult working towards the genocide of humanity" and "absolute submission to our oppressors and the colonisers of our people's land" we would've gotten somewhere
sorry it just pisses me off endlessly how carelessly my mom will spend money on herself but god forbid i ask for. Sunglasses. a new pair of sunglasses. that aren't mom-core from the fucking 2000s that have been sitting in our kitchen junk drawer for years and years. i get a "well if you don't care how they look [in reference to me saying i didn't really care about TRYING THEM ON FIRST because the shape of them isn't a concern of mine] i would prefer you just use them from the drawer"
Rachel nudges him. “Did you know, the vibe of your mind changes when you’re upset about Jean?”
He stares at her.
“It feels kinda like...” She leans her head back. “Like when you’ve had a busy week, and you’re going to have an even busier weekend, but for now it’s Friday night and you get to rest a little bit.”
Scott laughs in surprise. “You know, other telepaths pretend they can’t sense people’s minds unless they’re actively sending projections.”
“Yeah, well,” says Rachel. “Most people’s minds have something going on. You’re quiet a lot.”
Scott grins, shaking his head. “I see. You’re saying I don’t usually have thoughts in my head?”
She rolls her eyes. “That’s not what I meant and you know it.” Scott’s reminded vividly of meeting her as a teenager. “You play things close to your chest. I do the same thing, I’m just not as good at it.”
“That’s probably not a bad thing,” he says.
Rachel says, “I don’t know why you’re so afraid of me being like you.”
Scott suppresses his knee-jerk reaction. He turns away from her, looks out at the trees in the darkness in front of them. After a moment he says, “I don’t really understand why you’d want to be.”
He’s still not looking at Rachel, so he doesn’t see her reaction. “You’re still my dad, Scott.”
“Yeah, I am.” There was a time when she didn’t tell him who she was because she thought he’d reject her. He doesn’t want to ever prompt that doubt again. “And I’m grateful for that every day. But that doesn’t mean--”
Every time I reread Busman's Honeymoon I am in awe of how perfectly Sayers knew exactly what her readers wanted--how much we needed to see our blorbos finally being adorably in love and domestic together, with cats and chimneys and grocery orders and all that. We needed to see Harriet and Bunter bonding over their Most Important Person and casually trolling reporters together. We needed to see Bunter losing his shit over a household disaster. We needed to see Peter experiencing emotions in front of another person--specifically we needed that man crying in his wife's arms.
And then I remember all the Holmes and Watson references throughout all the Peter and Harriet books and wonder if Sayers ever wrote Sherlock Holmes fanfiction.
Honestly death note would be so much shorter if in the story L and Light accidentally became mutuals online -before light got the death note- and bonded, then ended up transitioning together as trans girlfriends… cracking egg light would save humanity from Kira imho
I know @istadris proooobably meant Mr. L masks his true character under a mean, tough guy act to protect himself from further pain in their Missing Half AU buuuut.
I can't quite separate Mr. L from his iconic mask.
one thing i dont see people comment on often is how in this shot
the applause sign is flashing. like, look! this is what you wanted! you can start cheering now! while there's a bloodstained animal picking over the shattered remains of a fake home and a half-corpse on the floor in view.
also, the audience is gone at this point. that sign is flashing for us. the viewer. because this IS what we wanted. something interesting to look at, which these days, is often something exactly like this: a tragedy
i’m in a few corgi groups and was perusing for tips on how to counter condition resource guarding in a multi dog household and everyone’s just like “oh yeah that’s a corgi thing” like ???? ok but it still needs to be shaped ????? lol????
an interesting thing abt jgy antis is like. where is the source of their, shall we say, negative opinion of jgy? like, 1. jgy is a villain, he does horrible things with no remorse, he’s willing to do everything to achieve his selfish, egotistical goals. --> 2. the source of this claim: this, this and this scene. --> 3. alright, but to me -- says someone who’s not an anti -- this reads differently. that he did all those things, and did them on purpose and without remorse, is not that obvious to me. why do you think that? --> 4. well, obviously because he’s a villain and does horrible things with no remorse.
like... he’s evil because he does bad things, and he does bad things because he’s evil. i’m interested in how antis came by those opinions, but a, unfortunately i have them all blocked, and b, even if i or someone else made a poll, it wouldn’t be authentic because no sane anti is going to say “well, people hated him and wrote all those things about him on twt, so i started hating him as well”, or “i only care about wgxn, you could sell me anything about other characters if your arguments were convincing enough because i zoned out during the parts when wgxn weren’t on screen/pages of the book”. it’s all “written in the book/shown in the show” and “logical arguments you’d agree with if only you could read”.
