#I'm just glad we met

Shadowheart and Nocturne sure seem like to be good friends

yup, just two gal pals, hanging out, doing each other's hair in a secret back room, Platonically, fighting alongside one another, writing in diaries about one another, just as friends, sharing memories, as friends though

Okay I do want to watch another episode tonight instead of just back-tracking to watch stuff from earlier episodes over and over and roll around in my feelings and yell about them at my partner

BUT (this is from Corridors)

Yeah yeah Horde Prime is evil and the actual villain of the series but the fact is: he could read Catra's reactions to things. ("Elevated heart rate, dilated pupils. Adora means something to you.") And while obviously he sees affection/love/etc as bad things, he still nevertheless tells Catra (more than once) to her FACE that she still has feelings for Adora.

And yeah the feelings are often a mixed-up mess of envy and resentment, which comes out of Catra as anger and a need for revenge, and which Horde Prime accurately interprets as very painful for Catra--none of those feelings would be as strong without the love and grief under it all and causing so much of it.

It's a cliche but it's true: the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. And Catra might feel many things for Adora but indifferent is not one of them.

And it's just SO TELLING that after Horde Prime's next line: "Don't you want to be free of it?" Catra doesn't think "ha ha yeah that would be a relief lol"

She bristles and gets angry.

And then looks terrified

And YEAH obviously some of it is a logical reaction to being threatened with joining the hive mind.

But also she doesn't actually want to be freed from her feelings for Adora. And I don't know if she even knew it until that moment.

Dumb ramble but I hate that you can't critique The Thing you love within a fandom space without some dude breathing down your neck like "Well actually that means you hate The Author and The Thing! And what about all the times The Author did this Good Thing? Checkmate, liberal." as if you can't be critical of something because you love it and want it to be better.

“I’ve seen loads of amazing actors, but nobody makes it look quite as easy as Ciarán Hinds. Ciarán just has an ease about him and a natural instinct. He’s just amazing. Most actors, you can sort of see a shift or something when they hear the word ‘action’ and Ciarán sort of slides into it and you never see a shift. Suddenly, he’s just acting. It’s just wonderful.” - Daniel Radcliffe

"He's just so kind, and so fine and funny, and generous with his spirit and time. So, yeah, it was a real honor, those are the moments in your career where you just have to pinch yourself because you're getting the opportunity to have these long, interesting, rich scenes with one of the great actors of his generation." - Charlie Cox

"I’ve admired Ciarán for a very, very, very long time. He’s everything and more than I imagined it would be. He was the man that I’m sure that Ken’s [Branagh] grandfather was like and he was a very, very real, believable, lovable, brilliant person." - Judi Dench 

"He doesn’t try and make any points inside the role. He just plays it truthfully. And I think Ciarán, as an actor, has a rare gravitas. He has terrific weight. And maybe it’s another thing, a certain kind of Irish people, they are great talkers. So, I think it makes them very thoughtful. And Ciarán, I think particularly, carries that quality." - Kenneth Branagh

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY, CIARÁN HINDS! (b. February 9th, 1953)

Today was a good day :)

Hey! I saw your post about pairings x weird kinks and I don't know if you write JongTae stuff anymore but if you do could you do blood?

Weird as hell I know but kinda the point I guess? Idk 🤣

Love your blog BTW I've read every single jongtae writing from your masterlist x

"Wait, hold on. I'm gonna pass out."

"you're going to pass out?" Taemin's breath comes out of him in a laugh, confused, astonished. He can't have heard that right. Jonghyun isn't the one tied up with thin knife slices in his shoulders, blood running down his arms, dripping off of his fingers.

Jonghyun isn't the one that's been feeling the sting of the blade, the tingle of nerves, the dull throb of his heartbeat pouring out of his skin. Jonghyun is just sitting there in front of him, knife in hand, hands covered in Taemin's blood, red fingerprints on his cheeks, his neck, streaked down his chest, smeared all over his cock, mixing with pearly white precum.

But Jonghyun is also closing his eyes, taking deep breaths, fanning his face, swallowing hard. "Are you for real?" Taemin asks, grinning, working his hands free of the loose knots keeping his wrists bound to his hips and the wall so he can catch Jonghyun if he needs to.

"Yeah," Jonghyun gasps. He's smiling, too, embarrassed at himself, and he says, "it's just--it's just, you look so beautiful, and I never thought anyone would let me, and I always wanted to but I've always been so scared, and you're so gorgeous, and I kind of want to crawl inside of you, and, like, I already knew but I realized you have to trust me so much, and I--" he sways, he actually gets dizzy, and a tear falls out of his eye.

Laughing, Taemin cradles his head in his arms. So much for the evil kidnapper torture roleplay, he guesses, if Jonghyun is going to get all emotional about how much they love each other or whatever. Way to ruin a good time.

Jonghyun turns and nuzzles into him, giggling against his chest. "Just, like, give me a minute to finish being gay, and then I'll tie you up again," he says.

your friendship with belle is so cute lol i anon ask you both quite often and you’re both so interesting and when i see you on my dash tagging each other it makes me feel like that one ancient “now kiss” meme

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

the thing about me is that having a crush is fun for the first little while and then I just slowly become more and more overcome with insecurity about it

It's crazy how kid's soccer is borderline mandatory in america and yet it has almost no cultural presence as a professional sport

I know it's not canon at all - we're even told it's not the case in Masters - but I like to think Sycamore and Lysandre were childhood friends, along with Siebold, Malva, the Santalune sisters... 😍

i rly don't like that at all personally tbh, good on you if you do (like really!! if anything i'm glad there can be variety in how people want them to be/see them) but childhood friends are kind of boring to me i'd rather have them meet as adults 💔 even having them meet like e.g. in school later on in their late teens/twenties i don't rly like either honestly . i know it's a thing people commonly like tho!! it's just not my thing

i do headcanon lysandre n malva as being related tho so there is that

[glitterslag]

because I am literally incapable of keeping gossip to myself

Sometimes it's better to just be quiet and isolate
