#PLAYED FOR COMEDY

[gayofthefae]

Mike and El have never gotten a romantic focal season in the way that Byler did in season 2. Byler and Milkvan have both had "with one but focusing on the other" - seasons 1 and 4.

I used to say theirs was season 3. But funny how season 3 was also when they decided to drop "Will might be gay and Mike is affected by it anyways haha aren't Mike and El so in love (but in a comedic way)"

comedic way I'm not even touching right now but that's forever...well, hilarious.

But let's go through it

Byler: one on one - voluntarily, played serious, only other romantic plotline is entirely out of focus

Milkvan: together in a group - involuntarily, played for comedy, only other romantic plotline isn't focused on but dropped an unanswered question then left.

As I write that, I'd also just like to point out: there are 100% ways for the supernatural to put you together and for it to be voluntary. Mike has supernaturally based concern for Will, so he tells the others he's got it and delegates they stay on Dart duty while only he goes to Will's house to check on him. He did not have to go to Will's house and even further, they added it being him that ensured it was one on one.

While with El, he's with Will - having most recently said that he will put off calling El to be with Will, but upon hearing about a general supernatural threat, all of them call for the entire group, which happens to include El.

What fun is forced proximity when you can have personally orchestrated proximity.

im so fucked up. theres a scene in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (the sequel to hitchhikers guide) where zaphod is rummaging through the ruins of a long-destroyed city on a lifeless, abandoned planet, looking for a way off, and he stumbles upon the crumbling remains of a spaceport, and miraculously one of the crafts is still intact, and there's still a quiet hum of power going into it from a connected cable, and it's making a quiet noise. so he rigs up a makeshift stethoscope and listens, and there's a PA system saying something like "we are very sorry for the delay. we are currently waiting for a restocking on lemon-soaked towlettes, for your hygienic and culinary pleasure. in the meantime, we will be serving coffee and biscuits on the deck." and he finds the remains of the arrivals/deparetures board, translates the dates and does a little math, and discovers the delay has been 900 years. spooky, yeah? but he goes on the ship, hoping he can get it flying, and it's perfectly well-functioning and an android flight attendant comes out and tries to force him to sit in the seating area, continuing to apologize for the delay. and when he gets to the seating area, every seat has a person in it. long-haired, long-nailed, and completely silent, but very much alive. and another android comes out with a tray of coffee and cookies, and all of the people wake up and start screaming in agony as she gives them their snacks. zaphod is terrified, so he runs to the control deck and locks the door behind him, and he finds the autopilot computer, which repeatedly tells him to return to the seating area, and he eventually convinces it to talk to him. "have you seen the planet?" he says, or something to that general effect. "there's no civilization! you're not GETTING a lemon-soaked napkin shipment!" and the autopilot says "the most likely path to us receiving our shipment is to wait until another civilization develops on the planet and they can deliver it. so we have put the passengers in suspended animation, and we wake them up once a year for coffee." and then? and then zaphod's friend who he was looking for shows up and the plot carries on and they don't say another word about the ship (at least, as far as i know from my place a couple chapters later). thats it. some classic Space Horror Of Grand Proportions, a doctor who plot, a twilight zone plot, an scp article, an asimov short story— that, when a ship ran out of a luxury amenity and didn't get it fulfilled quickly, the autopilot ai decided that, regardless of plentiful fuel and safety, the ideal way to deal with the situation is to suspend the lives of all of the passengers, waking them up once a year, until a new civilization could evolve around them to produce napkins— and it takes up about two pages total before being put aside completely!

shakespeare is lowkey more progressive than most writers these days and that is a hill i am willing to die on. he lets women be loud and clever and tricky and stubborn and delighted and fierce. AND he has a million little twinks who are just adorable. looking right at u, claudio

[mourning-at-night]

jace i don’t feel good was so funny but also made me so sad. like that’s a teenager with a strawberry squishmallow keychain and a tamagotchi and she doesn’t feel good and she's tugging on a teacher’s sleeve about it. a teacher who should have been responsible for protecting her in the first place and didn’t. who is manipulating and using her and her friends to help fulfill the desires of a wrathful power-hungry egomaniac. porter and jace it’s on sight >:(

There are many things to be said about the new Minecraft movie trailer. None of them are good

Dick: Bruce, I don't think I'm straight, but like I'm not gay. While I'll always be with Kori, I think I'm not sure what I am.

Bruce did an exaggerated spit take, throwing in some fake coughs to emphasize his shock.

Bruce (forcing his mind to hold back on not being surprised by this admission): Whaaaat? No. It can't- You? Not straight? Can't be. I... Need a moment to process this new information!

Dick (chuckling): You knew before me?

Bruce: Six years now, yes. I can pretend to be negative about it if you'd like.

Dick: No, don't... I'm just glad I finally told someone.

Bruce: I'm glad I could be that person. If it helps, I don't see you any differently and while you can't pinpoint your sexuality, I'm going to love you. And you know I'm serious cause I said love.

Dick: I did notice that. Thanks Br- Papa.

Bruce patted Dick on the back with a smile.

Bruce: You want to hear the story on how I figured it out?

Dick: Treat me out to lunch and you can tell me everything.

Bruce: That's perfect.

was rewatching fabian’s baron moment on account of it being the most delicious piece of pvp in my recent memory and ally beardsley’s growth as a player just shone through so brightly and with such clarity. after dusting off their shock they immediately asked about the nemesis ward, had enough knowledge about fellow pcs stocked to remember adaine’s ac with such like frustrated confidence and certainty, suggested to siobhan to dimension door out of adaine’s room, like. they came into this making a character with 4 dex. and now the dice deity offered to roll a check to sense if adaine was in danger. making decisions, asking questions, getting invested in the story, trying so hard with the tools they have to save characters from danger; ally beardsley is an incredible d&d player.

Coming soon to ao3 near you,

Fox’s batch finds out what’s wrong with him, except “what’s wrong with him” is that Fox was dropped on his head as a child and terrorizes his (unknown to him) evil wizard boss with just his personality alone until he gets electrocuted. Spoiler alert: telepathic torture does not discourage him.
