QUEEN OF SHADOWS SPOILERS
This scene is where I loose any sense of sanity
Quietly, Aedion said, “Dorian.”
“Tell me what happened in the throne room, Dorian,” … The prince blinked slowly. “Nothing happened.”
“Sorscha,” Aedion breathed, his lungs aching. “Sorscha—your woman, the healer. I was standing beside you when they cut off her head. I heard you screaming as you dove for her body.”
“Where did they bury her, Dorian? What did they do with her body, the body of the woman you loved?” … “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” it said again.
“Sorscha,” Aedion panted, his breathing uneven. “Her name was Sorscha, and she loved you— and they killed her. The man who put that collar around your neck killed her.”

moot point i know, but HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, if they WERE to make other musicals based off the rest of the pjo books - you know how in the TLT musical, the only character besides percy whose actor wasn't double-cast in another role is annabeth? it'd be nice if that trend continued for the other musicals, but the only time they break it is for TTC when percy meets aphrodite and he sees her as annabeth

Summary:
“Sophie Hatter? Is that you?” Howl said disbelievingly.
The lump of the Witch’s curse melted in her throat like sugar. “The very same.”
“Ingary’s maddest Hatter! Dear Sophie, what have you done to yourself? You’ve been turned into a hag!”
“And you’ve turned into a dandy,” Sophie retorted, looking him up and down. She could not tell if he was dressed for day or night, only that his clothes were all silk and trailing edges and made to be looked at. His beautiful coat hung carelessly off his shoulders, the cut of his hair was feathery and artful, and his eyes were not as she remembered. Her heart twinged. It had been a long time.

a summary of BIANCA SOLDERINI, since I feel like she's pretty unknown and i don't have a full bio yet. very much placing her within iwtv's interpretation of the books.
human. a noblewoman in 1490s venice, bianca is a woman of means, famed for the salons she hosts and the way that her house is always full of artists and philosophers; her door is open to all, entry bought through talents, poetry or music, art or deep conversation. she hosts the best parties. she is beloved. she's intelligent, strong, insightful, and incredibly beautiful. she's also under the control of her kinsmen, a murderess for them, poisoning those she is told to by her cousins, or else they will poison her. she does it to survive. they are moneylenders, dispatching those who renege on their debts. and when they are killed by her protector marius, she gains freedom and finances she could never have imagined.
she becomes a close friend, confidante, and lover of amadeo (aka the future vampire armand) both before and after he is turned, as well as of marius, his maker; she loves them both, and they eventually become a trio of lovers, bianca the sole human. things are good, until they're not. until 1499, when a vampire cult with a grudge burns marius' house with her inside, kidnaps amadeo, and nearly kills marius. she survives.
and she willingly chooses to be made a vampire so that she might help save marius' life, long aware of the truth of what he was, and aware too that he'd never have turned her if not for his own need.
vampire. for two hundred years, bianca is the only one there for marius, looking after him as he slowly heals, taking on a role of protector of Those Who Must Be Kept, the vampire king & queen, living in a tomb for them. she feeds on the ancient ones, and grows stronger. she and marius have only each other...until he abandons her in a forgotten castle and then immediately returns, begging her forgiveness. until he lies to her, until he is willing to forsake her the second he sees a long-lost love, until she realises how dependent he has made her on him, how deceptive he is, and how strong she is now. she leaves him. she doesn't need him any longer.
her life is hers to live.

I feel like Hozier's debut album doesn't get nearly enough love anymore and it's like omg are you kidding?! Some of my favorite songs of all time are on this album like I know all the lyrics to nearly the whole thing
Jackie and Wilson, Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene, Like Real People Do, Someone New, etc., are literally THE staples in my playlists

finished rewatching Thor 1. How is this movie so good? Like I usually rank it so high but I was prepared for me to be reminded of bad stuff in it or whatever BUT LIKE. NOT AT ALL? Even the now overdone post-credits teaser concept was so spot on then (setting up cap1, the avengers 1, the tesseract, and nick fury, erik selvigs and nick furys involvement) and just like? Hits all the emotional beats, has the best villain (bringing back Loki in avengers 1 really is the best decision of all time I'll get back to that once I rewatch that), does NOT in fact end on a 'saving earth' battle but on Thor trying to save Jotunheim (full circle character moment) and ThorJane is even cuter than I remember holy moly.
This is the first mcu movie I ever saw and I get why I fell in love it, and it was a gateway to the mcu as a whole. It stumbles at times but man it has a vision, one that stands on its own but works to set up future stories. I love it so. When it was made they couldn't have fathomed what it would be a part of but it makes it somehow even more special.

I have a question! For anyone who was a teenager/young adult when Broken Social Scene dropped “Anthems for a Seventeen Year‐Old Girl,” what was that like? What did you feel?
