Can we talk about the parallel between Guillermo's turning and un-turning.

His turning went so wrong, it wasn't what he wanted at all. We know our crazy, dramatic baby. He wanted a ceremony, he wanted it to be romantic and soft, he wanted vows and sacred words. He wanted to slowly expose his neck, he wanted whispered words, he wanted to feel safe and cherished. He wanted to be asked and be held and be seen and be accepted.

What he got instead was a badly lit horrifying ordeal. He had to take charge. Derek had no idea what he was doing. It happened in a backroom of a store, they kept getting interrupted by Derek's boss asking him to clean out toilets. Derek fucked up his bite. He almost died. "Have you done this before". Derek fainting. Blood everywhere. Anticlimactic, disappointing, not at all the culmination of his life long dream, of decades of service and love.

His un-turning on the other hand.

Oh Nandor knows him. He made up a ritual for him with a suitably dramatic name: "The Ceremony of Vampiric Transmogrification". He dressed him in robes which he put on him so softly and spoke to him so kindly beforehand. He got all the other vampires ready for him. He hung banners and lit candles. He wrote and spoke vows and sacred words to him. He gave him a choice and asked him a question. And when he got his answer he took charge and made sure everything went exactly as it should. He made Guillermo feel seen and loved and accepted, even if it broke his heart.

still not over caleb having spell mastery of fortune's favor. he's a wizard living and working in the heart of the empire, who's likely still very judicious with his use of dunamancy in front of others, and yet he chose that spell to cast without effort, a little piece of the dynasty that he still carries as one of the first spells essek ever taught him. you can't tell me this isn't the wizard equivalent of keeping a picture of your boyfriend in your wallet

we were all so worried over winter break that lestappen would be more distant with each other but before we even get a race we got charles trying to get max's attention in a press conference, max accidentally following then quickly unfollowing a charles stan account on twitter, and an inchident mention. we're so back and i fear they're worse than they've ever been

I think Will should have grabbed Hannibal by the tie at least once. Ultimate whore move. There are so many scenes where he could have grabbed that man by the tie to tell him something. "I have to deal with you, and my feelings about you. I think it's best if I do that directly." ??? C'mon.

I love how “I want to hang him upside down a pole and spin him around like a spinning top” sounds like something people on the internet would say about their special little character but it is something that Chuuya genuinely did to Dazai in Storm Bringer

[ID: a digital drawing of chuuya and dazai from bungou stray dogs. in the main image, dazai is sitting on a metal counter in a nurse's office, his arms behind him to support him and knees spread so that chuuya can clean his wounds. he has bandages and scars on his arms and bare torso and is wearing white pants and white shoes. with a bored expression he says, hurry up. chuuya, who's opening a green bottle and is standing in front of the counter, shouts, wait a fucking minute, asshole, i'm not your damn nurse! in a smaller follow-up panel dazai shouts, you shot me! and chuuya is looking away while sweating and shouting back, you were being a shit. end ID]

the price of engaging in homoeroticism via shooting you 'old friend' THREE FUCKING TIMES more than necessary is, um... *checks notes* having to patch him up five minutes later whilst staring at his bare chest and then having to set his leg, thus literally putting him back on his feet to do his dramatic victory reveal??? this can't be right who wrote this
