There are probably one hundred moments in the new Camelot that I'm sad I will never get to see again and lots of people won't get to see at all because it's so funny and dramatic and the cast is amazing. And specifically there is so much peak romance and tragedy in Arthur and Guenevere's final scene. But the thing that will live in my head forever and ever, that according to my friend made me shake so hard with laughter that she could feel it next to me is this exchange (butchered by my bad memory, sorry Mr. Sorkin):
Arthur: Merlyn never taught me how to handle a woman.
Guenevere: You mean you haven't read the book?
Arthur (with the most excitement he has expressed for literally anything besides a bird and maybe to Merlyn about Genny after they first meet): There's a book? (And then like every gullible kid who looked up at the ceiling and then got taunted with made you look) No I can see on your face there's not. But maybe in France, no I can still see there's no book.
Like honestly king of romance. That moment, telling your wife you see her as a business partner, telling her you love her for what it's worth because you thought she might want to know but you aren't sure right before you go to war over her... banger after banger.

what happened tonight with the wjw?
I'm too lazy to go back to watch the recording and annoy myself all over again lmao but essentially Kristian noticed someone in the chat say they had a question but they dare not ask, and said that normally he doesn't take questions from the chat but he was desperate to know what that question was. So people started tagging the person to get their attention and they came back with this SUPER appropriate and not at all embarrassing question.
Thankfully Kristian either didn't see the actual question, or ignored it, but yeah. Obnoxious as hell.

I was reading some aspiring authors personal excerpt about how furious she is with the pervasiveness of misogyny in society & mens refusal to take it seriously, & it resonated so I was considering giving her book a try for a minute but then I get to the end of the post and the fucking tags are like "reminder that I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns so don't get weird in the replies"...I just can't deal with these people they're like a bad joke that came to life and gained (partial) sentience

finally saw priscilla today and while the aesthetics were absolutely gorgeous (a true sofia coppola film) the movie overall was just very.......bland. like i went in with a very basic understanding of the relationship (naive girl and much older manchild celebrity) and i pretty much left feeling like i didnt learn anything new. it was like we were only given a surface level interpretation of both elvis and priscilla......especially priscilla which was the most disappointing. and while the film wasnt bad it just wasnt that.....great? it was just meh in the way that it felt like it didnt have much to say. or was afraid to say anything significant at all

I don't even go here much anymore but I need somewhere to throw my thoughts re: Emilie (Genshin Impact)
Yes, a lot of people have been upset or disappointed that she looks less interesting mostly in comparison to the many leaked concept arts of her, and I've definitely seen a couple colour/other edits on her which looked amazing. For me, the hair colour throws me off a bit and I have some Choice Words about her top but the green of her dress is such a deeply satisfying shade of green that reminds me of velvet, and I enjoy how her outfit, alongside Neuvilette's description and other people's voicelines, paint what feels to be a deliberately curated picture of her.
While we can't know for sure what decisions were involved that resulted in them settling on the current official design, the perception on her is so unnecessarily dampened because of that potential "what could have been" that we weren't meant to see in the first place. If anything, looking at the variety of concept arts leaked, it's at least reassuring that the artists have that skill and freedom to depict a character in so many creative ways.
honestly I'm more interested in seeing how Emilie is as a character - most of other character's voicelines about her are in regards to her business than of her (with the exception of Chevreuse) and she's a "forensic cleaner"? ESPECIALLY since she's probably going to be involved with the Burning Artifact set???There are a lot more layers here I really wish to see more people explore here instead of, well, everything else going on. I'm sitting here imagining situations involving Emilie, Chiori and Chevreuse potentially on a case, or interactions between her and Lisa/Sucrose/Albedo as a chemist (and god forbid what happens when she's put together near the Pyro Folk)
I don't know if I'll pull for her (if I do, it'll be predominantly based on her kit) but I like seeing how artists depict a character once their design is drip marketed on Twitter and it's a bit annoying seeing that the media tab there is just predominantly people talking about the concept art instead

I've been reading this amazing fic recently called Warriors: Paw Steps in the Snow on ao3. It's a rabies plot and its so well written, I highly recommend people check it out!
It's got me thinking about what a rabies outbreak/rabies AU would be like in the Signs of the Moon universe. Maybe I'll post some ideas about it in the future, idk
Anyways, again, please go check out this story!!!

I will think I am being totally normal about the silly little disaster wizard made of pixels...
...then we'll get into a fight and someone will cast Hunters Mark on him and I'll have my Tav send her dire raven to gouge their eyes out instead of attacking the person who's right next to them on one HP.
...or he'll go down and, rather than wait and send the cleric - who is closer to him in the initiative order and has more spell slots and is therefore by every metric a way better pick, I'll send my Tav to go and pump one of her very few spell slots into him as a cure wounds. Only to have the enemy that she could have killed instead immediately hit him again and he's back bleeding at her feet.
...or there'll be an arcane turret firing energy blasts and, even though she has way more movement than him and has already lost half her HP, while he is still on full, I'll literally have her use herself as a half-elf shield and stand between him and the turret.
Totally normal about this silly little disaster wizard made of pixels who can't actually die because he's not real.

Is cloud bisexual in canon? I dunno. Couldnt say for sure (im in Rebirth chapter 12 and Only discussing rebirth rn). I can definitely say he's Aware Andrea admires him, Super Aware Dio likes him and is flattered by it and up to flirt with that opportunity (wild choice cloud but okay).
And i certainly cant wait for clouds date with barret <3

see the thing is the fnaf movie really wants me to root for mike and abby's relationship and care about them and sure i can play along. but my emotional investment in them is severely hampered by the fact that we never really see them... having fun together? the first scene of them interacting is them being annoyed/frustrated with one another, mike rolling his eyes at abby's talk of her "friends", abby resenting him for that. abby's teacher says abby loves mike, but besides the pictures she draws, we never really get to see that for ourselves. the one moment between them that made me go "aww" was when abby said she hated jane and mike said "it's funny how we finally agree on something" with tears in his eyes. other than that, they have their extremely hurried emotional moment during the climax that's not really given any time to breathe ("i love you too, mike, but we should probably go now" wasn't. really anything), and one or two bits where abby's having fun around mike, but not really with him. i really want to believe they're a sweet sibling duo who love each other, but the movie doesn't seem all that interested in establishing that.

gonna write a whole thing someday about how characters of color who clearly have a history of trauma or mental health issues aren’t given consideration or acknowledgement in the fandom imagination
