in regard to the icemav convo about american made cars: I think it would be funny if after mav gets his regular license, ice buys him a truck that they can use for transporting stuff to the hangar and when he gifts it to mav all the man can do is laugh bc stamped across the ass is MAVERICK. It’s a 2023 ford maverick (in area 51 bc I’m partial to that color)
and mav likes it, but he doesn’t love driving it bc it’s so big (and he just likes being a passenger princess too much), so ice drives it mostly which inspires a whole lot of jokes about ice liking having maverick’s name stamped on his ass. bradley gags from the other room every time.
if it matters to u, i agree with this hc 150% on rhetoric grounds. thank god for your mind.
however i would like to raise the issue that recent american pickup trucks have become non-useful, overexpensive, and suburban-coded in a way i think ice and mav would reject. the ford maverick was built with the intention of dropping kindergarteners off at school, not of actually doing hard labor. see below infographic for what I mean.
It’s a fucking travesty. Trucks are so ugly and useless now. the maverick is not immune to this. (maverick below)
what good is having a fucking truck if it can’t even hold two REGULAR ASS BIKES in the bed. & when the bed is empty the chassis is unbalanced in a way that leads to more accidents etc. (tbf that was true in the 70s/80s too but im feeling more hateful towards modern trucks rn). In short—the modern American pickup truck is no longer useful, it’s a way to virtue signal to other Americans that you *think * you know what hard labor is, even when you’re driving around in a glorified odyssey with a teeny tiny bed that can barely hold a couple bags of mulch for the back garden
ice & mav don’t even have any little kids anymore, i think they’d consider a backseat useless & a waste of space
SO i would like to offer you a Compromise, which is that ice & mav buy either (or both) a 1974 ford maverick AND/OR a 1990 ford maverick
for the Funny Name & coolness factor (& the “making Bradley vom cause of how cute his parents are” factor), and then soup up, like, a 1984 Chevy C10 for actual towing/hauling purposes.

OK, I just realized something...(I may've been the last person to do it, but whatever)
Robin Wright is in the movie "Damsel", with Millie Bobby Brown.
Robin Wright previously, famously, played Buttercup in "The Princess Bride", who was also a princess.
But Buttercup was very pretty passive throughout the movie. She argued with Prince Humperdinck that Westley would come and rescue her, but she never tried to escape herself, and she never drew a sword and tried to fight him or anyone to try to win her freedom.
Whereas "Damsel" is the story of a princess who saves her own damn self. So it's kind of like Robin Wright's princess-era passing the torch to Millie Bobby Brown's.

Watching She-Ra and the Princesses of Power for the first time and I think one of the things that gets me the most is Hordak and Entrapta's relationship, idk if it's romantic but regardless.
She's showing the dude actual understanding as a person.
Making him him feel like more than just a failure.
He's more than just the failed clone of Horde Prime, and he's seeing someone else as more than just a tool.
He finally made, at the very least, a real, genuine friend.
Hell Entrapta was even willing to forgo doing SCIENCE IMMEDIATELY because she wanted to spend more time with him.
When the portal was finally finished he didn't even put it on himself, he knew it was all her, and he could admit it.
He wanted her to see their crowning achievement.
Catra and her bold faced lie.
That face broke me.
Just like that lie broke him.

I just got done watching an old Godzilla movie and then I realized.
Levi has whole ass Godzilla in his coffin????
Like I know Levi puts dangerous things in his coffin but like how the fuck did he put Godzilla in there???
And what's the relationship between Levi and Godzilla is that his like cat or something?
Was it like cat distribution system gone wrong?
Also I didn't expect to be interested in the lore of a porn game but here we are I am disappointed but I am not surprised.

here's some synergy had fallen in place, a short oneshot set in the princess luz AU. amity and hunter are talking about luz and how worried they are about her. and amity is being like. GAY gay. and heartsick about it.
Amity can’t do the whole thing Hunter does, the whole thing where Amity would have to crawl into bed with their world’s closest tether to the divine, press her entire body against this potentially-wrathful god-queen’s, and hold her until she’s a little less unhappy.
Amity can’t think about doing that and shouldn't think about doing that and doesn’t think about doing that, even during the nights when Amity can’t sleep herself and just watches Luz breathe instead, because there’s something fascinating about her human physiology and her warmth and the way her cheek curves against her pillow.
Amity shouldn’t let Luz get this far under her skin, shouldn’t memorize the shape of her mouth, shouldn't miss the careful offer of her hands, because one day Luz will use her power to hurt Amity and there will be nothing anyone can do about it, because Luz will always be the Empress before she can be anything else.
Luz will always be the Empress. This fact seems to be killing her.
