Idk man, I really want to just sit in a room with the whole cast and listen to them talk. About past, present, and future endeavors in thier careers. What are they most proud of? What are they most looking forward to, say 5 years down the line? Any major projects they are getting into? Not necessarily interact, just listen to them chat! There's something about the way they all work together that scratches my brain in the best way possible.
I spent the first half of my 8 hr work shift the other day listening to over hour long interviews eric bogosian has done and MAN he knows how to give one. He knows his shit. He knows how to keep an audience or interviewer engaged. Truly a man of his art.
I do wish all the other cast members did longer interviews though. Hopefully with s3 we will get thoroughly fed.

Although the ships are enjoyable, I really like how little The Marvels focused on romance.
Carol is implied to have a relationship with Valkyrie for 3 seconds and she has an entirely platonic marriage of convenience. That's it. What's important to her are her powers, her friends and enemies and the needs of other people. Carol is lonely, but her loneliness isn't solved by love, her loneliness is solved by making friends and reconnecting with her old ones. Her "great love" is her best friend. When Monica is shown to have grown up from the first movie, they don't give her a husband or a boyfriend for Carol to jokingly threaten to show that she's older. They show that she's matured by telling us that she's an astronaut, that she's "Captain Rambeau", that she has a successful career. Kamala literally has three love interests in her show! It would be easy to have her talk about boys or mention a crush, but she doesn't. Because who would think about their crush when fighting aliens and meeting superheroes?
Dar-Benn is "heartbroken", but not at a relationship, she's heartbroken at the state of her people and planet. Aamir's wife is mentioned once, Fury's wife isn't mentioned at all and Kamala's Ammi and Abbu are more concerned with aliens invading their house and Kamala being teleported into the middle of space as opposed to talking about their relationship.
There's no scene where the trio compare their love interests or bring up "boys" or dating. The banter is just friends goofing around. The movie is one hour and forty minutes of a trio of women fighting aliens together. You can definitely read into things, and you can see romance mentioned, but it's not relevant to the plot. I really liked that.

i loved the name of the rose so much and the more i reflect on it the more i love it. to the point where im like oh everyone in the world HAS to read this book. and i know rationally that there are many many people who are not willing to read this book. yet my brain cannot process it like why would you not. want to read the medieval monk murder mystery tome.

okay i'm sorry for the incoming rant but i need to get it out of my system ( spoilers for greedfall , idk ) .
i know that people have written about this already but the tragedy that is constantin and his relationship with de sardet .. where do i even begin ?
multiple entries in his codex tell us that he values de sardet more than anyone . his dearest cousin , his only childhood companion ( that we know of ) , the one he relies on and the one who shields him from all he perceives is evil . he may be used by his mother for her to gain more influence at court and his father may seem disappointed by his actions but de sardet is always there by his side , making his small world a little better .
and because we know so little yet so much at the same time , my mind tends to wander and think about how their youth was ..
when they trained with kurt , who was better at it ? did they make secret bets about who'd lose to him this time ? did they ever try fighting side by side ?
when studying under sir de courcillon .. how was it ? we know that he taught them well but .. did they always pay attention ? did they ever skip class , hiding from the servants . did they ever pass each other notes during lessons , make faces at each other , scribble things on paper that only they would understand ?
just imagine dinners with their family where they tried their best but always cracked a smile at one another , sweets stolen from the royal kitchens shared in secret , sleepovers .. and so much more , whatever else comes to your mind .
when petrus told my character that instead of showing interest in his magical talent , he preferred to chase constantin around with a wooden sword , something inside of me broke and never healed . because at the end of the day , de sardet is truly his only friend . a friend he's so afraid to lose and .. in his mind , is losing .
you can see it through the course of the story , constantin getting more and more desperate . desperate to keep the only person he truly loves in his life . de sardet slipping through his fingers with each passing day . they make new friends , connections , fall in love .. they travel the land and get to experience it all . yes , de sardet is still there for him but .. after they leave the governor's palace , he's left alone . alone with his thoughts growing darker and darker as his illness slowly takes over , the fear of death gripping his heart . surely he can't die . surely he can't be all alone . surely de sardet , the only person he can truly trust , will save him . but then the cure comes , in a form he'd never imagine ; twisting his features and bonding him to the land . and so the desperation grows , the anger grows , everything is too much .
constantin asking his dearest cousin to give him more time , to trust him , breaks my heart every time i play through this game . the " but for you , for us " is such a raw and powerful line , because at the end of the day .. it is just them against the world . two young people who are so dependent on one another , who had to lift each other up from a very young age , who , in constantin's eyes , now pleading you to join him , can rely on no one but themselves ..

“James shot Lucie a dark older brother glare that almost made Cordelia giggle. She had always been a little jealous of the closeness Lucie and James shared, something she always wanted with Alastair but never had. It was nice that some moments they were perfectly ordinary.”
BITCH EXCUSE ME????? AFTER YOU SPIED ON HIS INTIMATE MOMENT WITH CHARLES????? THE FUCK YOU EXPECT? I know this section Cordelia doesn’t know what Alastair has done for her but what the fuck!!!!! if there’s anything Alastair loves in the world, it’s you girl!!! and he admires Thomas but he doesn’t really know it so let’s just put that away for now.
the reasons why Alastair has attitude is all of the things he has done to protect your childhood. the childhood he didn’t have. and honestly this is why I’ll forever be mad that the books aren’t in Alastair’s pov.
I think he, Matthew, (and Thomas but we do get his side more.), Christopher, and Ariadne are some of the most interesting characters in the series. I love more but I think these ones mainly Alastair and Matthew have these dark moments and those are the pov I want.
makes me roll my eyes when Cordelia is like “I wish my brother and I were closer.” hmmmm maybe don’t spy on him? if you should trust anyone, it’s your brother. I know I know, she doesn’t really know all he has done for her but the person who has protected you the most is Alastair. without a doubt, he’s always been there for you 🥹
