"It's such a Cap thing to say that if it weren't for the seriousness of the situation Tony would laugh. It also makes him happier than he'd like to admit, seeing Steve in his element like this. There had been a moment there, laying on cracked concrete and listening to the distinct sound of vibranium hitting the floor, where he thought he might never see it again."

okay im sorry but Hermie is ABSOLUTELY faking his crushes on Scary and Link. he is a goddamn theater kid which means he needs attention more than anything in the world, and that desire more often than not centers around Normal (ESPECIALLY considering "i like you too," which is about attention regardless of whether or not he was lying). literally hes doing the queer high school equivalent of pulling a girl's pigtails at recess by telling Normal about his "crushes" so that Normal will get upset and pay more attention to him. its the same tactic he used with the mascot costume all over again

You know something I noticed?
The confrontation in the cave is the only time Death shows up when Puss isn’t about to die, and every time Puss sees him that death is prevented.
-First time is his cameo during the Giant Battle, where Puss doesn’t notice Death and thus succumbs to it.
-Then obviously the bar scene, where it’s been more-or-less universally agreed that Puss would’ve drank himself to death if Death hadn’t started breaking his own rules.
-The silhouette in the retirement home window put him on guard, which prevented him from being found by Goldi and the Bears and spurred him back into action.
-His little taunt with the coins caused Puss to sober up and tell Perrito to drive faster, allowing Team Friendship to capitalize on Puss’s distraction instead of squander it with his posturing.
-The unicorn horn battle, where Puss was knocked prone and disoriented, so he’d probably have been hit if he hadn’t freaked out and ran off. And then while he was running he basically got herded to the tree where Perrito and Kitty found him.
-And the final battle on the Wishing Star, since he’s both in the middle of a three-way fight in an arena that’s trying to kill all of them and about to throw his current life away in a metaphorical sense by wishing to replace the ones he literally threw away.

man im still so obsessed with the fact that it seems like knuckles either didn't originally have a name, or that he dropped it to carry the name of his ancestors
LIKE UGH. it's so sad. it's so unfair. knuckles' entire existence is so unfair. imagine having no name and having the only identity you have being the name of a dead group of people you never even got to meet? alternatively, dropping your own birth name to carry that name as your own because there's no one else around to do so?
i NEED. NNEEEEDD. canon media to acknowledge this in some way. it's mentioned once that he was named after his ancestors in an obscure character bio, and never brought up ever again as far as i know. i don't know japanese but from what i can tell the way it's worded implies that "knuckles" became his name? as in, it wasn't his name originally.
I NEED TO KNOW MORE. I NEED THIS TO BE EXPLORED.

I still think "if thou didst ever hold me in thy heart/absent thee from felicity awhile/and in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain/to tell my story" is one of the most romantic lines in English literature, which probably means there's something wrong with me

ok guys i dont wanna be a hater but im gonna be 100% honest i didnt rlly like the nimona movie 😭 I MEAN IT WAS FUN. it was nice. but i feel like it was missing everything that made me like the original graphic novel and honestly by the last like 30 minutes i was kind of just waiting for it to be over so i could read the book again 😭 NO HATE TO ANYONE WHO RLLY LIKED IT believe me when i say i dont think it is bad or anything. but i feel like just sooooo much was changed that it didnt feel like nimona at all to me. idk how to explain it, im sure once i reread the book i’ll be able to put it into words since the original will be more fresh in my mind. i think it was good but as someone who was literally obsessed w the og graphic novel it was honestly kinda disappointing. but i dont rlly care honestly its still rlly cool it got a movie!!
but in my mind at least it proves that some things dont need to be made into a movie. ppl act like movies are the best form a piece of media can take and if something gets made into a movie then that’d be the peak form of it. but i honestly think nimona works wayyyyyy better in its original graphic novel form. most of the early stuff is way more slice of life lowkey stuff that lets you get attached to ballister and nimona as characters and get invested in their relationship w each other, BEFORE all the angsty final act stuff happens. also there honestly was just a ton of stuff that felt to me like it worked better in the original, like jousting tournament thing instead of the knighting ceremony, nimona being captured and being forced to turn into her “true” form rather than this new version with it just sort of happening bcuz of Emotions, etc. also the movie suffered from a lot of pacing and tone issues imo but the former i think is just from that lack of the slow buildup of their friendship, and the latter is something that i think just worked better in the book. idk again I’LL BE ABLE TO SAY THIS STUFF MORE CONCRETELY WHEN I ACTUALLY REREAD THE BOOK but i dont remember there being so much jokes and goofy shit DURING serious scenes. like iirc in the original during serious scenes it was SERIOUS. but in the movie theres so many unnecessary unfunny jokes and stuff. idk IDK i probably just had too high expectations idk. anyways
