Ryan Coogler saying how Namor is basically Peter Pan (in that he's forever young and quite charming because of his playfulness, *I think about that scene where he spooks Shuri with what would happen to her body underwater if she visited Talokan, only to 2 seconds later be like "or you can wear a suit, we have a couple of those." Also the name Namor is literally derived from the phrase "El niño sin amor/ The child without love"*)
AND how he wanted Namor to have a vibe that is "seductive and threatening, which Tenoch does really well. He has very rich eyes that can hold a lot."
Like yes! Tenoch's eyes is where the magic of his acting really comes to fruition and we should talk about that more!

Ok, here's every time Pacat writes that Laurent and Damen were gazing at each other. This is easily my favorite motif of CaPri both because it's hot as hell and because Pacat says so much by saying almost nothing at all.
Captive Prince: 0 gazings
The tension is not quite at gazing levels...
Prince's Gambit: 7 gazings
Here we gooooo
Ch 1
Right before this moment, Damen thinks "Damen felt desire come hard upon him: not wholly a desire for violence, but a desire to drive the knife into Laurent’s composure, to force him to show something other than cool indifference." oh yeah buddy?
Ch 8
Ch 9
Ch 17
Ch 19
Ch 20
Ch 21
Kings Rising: 4 gazings
Notably, there are no "they were gazing at each other" moments in KR until Laurent gets drunk and then we get the only 2x in a chapter moment. Then a break until they are truly reconciled.
Ch 9
Ch 9, again
Ch 13
Ch 18
Pasted as text until I can get the screenshot up:
‘You came,’ said Laurent.
‘You knew I would,’ said Damen.
‘If you need an army to take your capital,’ said Laurent, ‘I seem to have one.’
Damen let out a strange breath. They were gazing at each other. Laurent said, ‘After all, I owe you a fort.’
💙💙💙

Me: Gale is my favorite character
Me: *writes copious amounts of Astarion fic* *records every scene with Astarion and takes 47 screenshots from each* *plays about 100 hours of a second, Astarionmance playthrough before even coming close to finishing the first, Galemance one* *spends an hour scrolling through a blog that's literally only shots of Astarion's face* *gazes fondly at Astarion's little smile for minutes on end* *sets Astarion's face as my phone's lockscreen* *posts incessantly about Astarion*
Me: Yes, definitely Gale is my favorite, no doubts about that

Currently thinking about this comic-turned-writing about Makoto and the Previous CEO I made, and I want to share some thoughts I have when I made this.
In the comic form of this writing I had in my head, Makoto stays at the left side of the comic while the Previous CEO stays at the ride side.
Clearly, there isn't a lot of words in its writing form.
Since I originally envisioned this as a comic, I didn't want to clutter the main words I want to convey with it by adding needless lines.
I like to think that the Previous CEO was the first one to see who Makoto truly is behind that mask. However, it's left up to interpretation whether or not the Previous CEO recognized his face.
What is more important after is
Makoto closing his eyes near the Previous CEO while he can fully see that Makoto had his guard down is supposed to signify that Makoto trusts him.
It also serves as a contrast to whenever Makoto had his eyes closed during his confrontation with Yuma- that he was in turmoil. Before he opened his eyes to Yuma and saw Yuma for who he truly is.
In one case, he was at peace closing his eyes and deluding himself that everything is right when the CEO was at his side. But on another, he could no longer close his eyes peacefully and delude himself that everything was right until he was able to confront the truth and stare directly at his mirror- his original.
We know that apparently, Makoto and the Previous CEO used to drink together, so I wanted to give focus on that by signifying how it made them become close to one another and eventually joining together.
(I like to think that the CEO, knowing full well that Makoto is cautious, purposefully slushed himself so he would feel more safer at divulging information about himself because, well, the CEO is drunk ain't he? It's not like he would remember. It's weird I know, but nothing says trusting yourself to someone near you than getting slushed to the face)
Also, hee hoo, pact mentioned :D
Even if the two of them agreed, the two of them have different reasons to why they agreed. For the Previous CEO, what's more important for him is Amaterasu Corporation, putting Makoto in charge would help with that. While for Makoto, what's more important to him is Kanai Ward which his position as the new CEO of Amaterasu Corporation would help with.
"For Kanai ward" being repeated three times in this drabble while "For Amaterasu Corporation" only being said once is supposed to signify how Makoto has lived for three years while the Previous CEO was only there for one year in his life.
His echoing words "For Kanai Ward" no longer having a response and partner compared to than before.
In this scene, no longer does Makoto sit at the left side of the room, but rather at the right side of the room now.
The left side of the room is left vacant. Empty, Without another person there to talk to.
Empty, Without another glass to pour wine into.
CEO. Makoto Kagutsuchi.
The three words that describe him. Now.
Yet a period divides Makoto Kagutsuchi from the CEO.
He is Makoto Kagusutchi, the CEO of Amaterasu Corporation now.
Yet why does a period divide him?

nbc hannibal is unparalleled if you frame it as a comedy because imagine being a forensic doctor in the middle of an autopsy and having to be subjected to a man with the world's most autistic stare just standing in the corner of the room and saying shit like. there's something wrong with the meat. absolute insanity i would have kept a journal of his most unhinged sentences sorry
