#because he can actually sing

Hawks: See, Tomura, the way this whole friend thing works is that you have to tell each other the deep stuff.

Tomura: The deep stuff...? Like what?

Hawks: Like, uh...what's your favorite color?

Tomura: Now you've crossed the line.

[puppyeared]

presto!

Will, singing to himself, thinking no one is listening: 🎶i know I'm young, but if I had to choose between him or the sun, I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun. Take a look at my boyfriend, cuz he's the only one I got~♡🎵

Nico, definitely eavesdropping: well thank fuck gay marriage is legal

why baptism of fire is my favorite book out of the saga:

the overall setting in a warzone is well-written and thoughtful, and though tragic and horrific, its very 'realistic' and haunting. the fear, the eventual indifference... how the war-torn landscape influences the characters and their actions and narratives is compelling.

the pacing is great, chapters flow into one another so well it took me actual years to decidedly separate them by chapter in my head. it’s also not too long of a book and it feels like cozy, easy reading. the journey of the characters is not boring or full of “filler”, because plot-relevant stuff keeps occuring.

the theme of a “baptism of fire” is reiterated throughout the novel, but you as the reader are not hit over the head with it extensively or annoyingly (coughs... like in... time of contempt)...

ciri is spiralling downwards (no spiral pun intended) as her trauma builds, but she hasn’t yet faced the powerless gore-strewn tragedies which are ttos and lotl, since bonhart isnt here yet she can be as evil as she wants and its interesting to see her character get caught in the frenzy. she is practically rebuilding her identity from scratch outside of the constraints of moral guidance, and “falka” is overtaking her.

yennefer finally receives solo scenes as an individual character in which we get her point of view and we learn how thoughtful and intelligent she is, she is thrown into a political frying pan fighting for her fucking life with the lodge of sorceresses and we finally get some answers to ciri’s background. 

geralt’s character is at his lowest since the beginning of the series, and he has a choice to make in terms of how he wants to react to losing everything and who he wants to become during this painful climb back up. his utter devastation at losing his child and his lover are ‘realistically’ written and he says and does unlikable, prickly things - yet he never becomes a bad person and his ethics (and motivation to act in the face of injustice) actually grow stronger during this period. we as the readers can hate him and think he’s a dumbass and laugh at him as he tries to shun company.

best dandelion characterization in the series as he helps geralt the most and is the least misogynist in this novel. his stubbornness to not leave geralt’s side is actually admirable and ethical, and we get to see his and geralt’s friendship evolve in this new situation, and dandelion repositions himself in terms of what the role of a best friend is

milva barring

emiel regis

i already put milva, but the conversation scene between her and geralt with "i cannot help you..." "you just did. now go, please. go away, witcher before you destroy my entire world"

i already put regis, but his value as a comic relief character is astounding

cahir is finally introduced as a side protagonist, and is actually just some guy. he proves himself brilliantly at the end of the book. and there is no introduction or even *thought* of cahiri

fish soup scene. everyone collectively makes fun of geralt and we as a reader are laughing it up alongside them.

zoltan, percival, and the rest of their company are introduced as silly comic relief side characters, but represent a jewel of optimism in the side of the death-strewn landscape and keep being these beacons of humanitarianism and “good” in an evil world. considering that they are side characters and disappear for most of the novel, this says something about how goodness is rare, but not impossible to find, it does exist...

it’s short but thank god for that, the scene of djikstra and his spies finding vilgefortz’s lab is horror-filled and shocking, but sets vilgefortz up well as an absolutely wretched villain

the ending battle scene is action-packed and full of drama, but it has deeper messages than what is said on the surface, it has meaning and intention behind the character decisions. huge anti-war and anti-imperialism sentiments

it’s admittedly the first book of the witcher saga that i read, so i’m incredibly biased :B

[Fantastic Beasts] Eli Fawcett Moodboard

fancasting Adrien Brody as Eli // encouraged by @kathrynalicemc and @sirfluffig​

“You'll be happy to be there, Dancing through life, down at the Ozdust, If only because dust is what we come to! Nothing matters but knowing nothing matters! It's just life...so keep dancing through...”

~“Dancing Through Life” from Wicked

x~x~x~x

It was strange, being a No-Maj in the 1920′s and 30′s. Obviously it was odd enough to find out that there was an entire magical society hidden from everyone, including America’s government...but it was practically impossible to read the name “Fawcett” so much among the ranks of both the MACUSA and the British Ministry of Magic and not immediately think of Eli Fawcett, the famous Muggle actor. Little did many of those students from Ilvermorny and other American schools realize that that was not just a coincidence -- for Eli Fawcett was indeed born into the well-regarded magical family of the same name, as the middle of three children. He was also the most popular and well-liked of his siblings at school. Eli’s family, however, never approved of their child or what he valued -- being largely comprised of overachieving Ravenclaw alumni, they never much liked how their “daughter” refused to dress properly or put much focus on his studies. But Eli (who at school encouraged everyone to just call him “Fawcett,” rather than the name he was given at birth) just never saw the value in getting straight O’s, especially in the face of making someone else smile. He knew he could change the world far more with a positive attitude than by resigning himself to a life he’d never choose for himself...and so post-Hogwarts, after only receiving one OWL and no NEWTs, he impulsively packed up everything he owned in a suitcase and headed for America, with the thought of starting his life over. The path Eli’s choice started him down ended in Hollywood, and now this mediocre student has turned the heads of people all over the world with his immense talent for dancing, stunts, and slapstick comedy, as well as his winning charm and smile. He is a true performer, determined to make other people happy -- because it’s truly the only thing in the world that’s ever made him feel happy. 

[tennessoui]

does kuwsk obi wan have a good singing voice and does he sing in the shower ?

oh is he anon 🥺🥺

there's a scene in the next chapter where qui-gon is visiting for christmas, and anakin Has A Bone To Pick With Him because of his absent-minded parenting that has clearly affected and damaged one of his favorite people in the entire world actually how could you Qui-Gon, and one of the things that is mentioned is that Qui-Gon couldn't go to a musical Obi-Wan was cast in in high school (to his credit, he made the dress rehearsal) because of a work thing in another city and Luke asks what a musical is and obi-wan is like (uncomfortably) oh it's where you sing while you're pretending to be someone else

and leia asks if he still remembers some of the songs

and anakin insists that he must because he's talked about the musical before that's why anakin knows it (also p.s. anakin totally would have gone, Qui-Gon) and obi-wan is like...well yes i do i suppose

and the twins are like sing it!! sing it to us !!! we've never heard you sing!! sing !!!!

and obi-wan doesn't know how to say no to them so he has another cup of wine for liquid courage and sits down at the piano in the corner and sings

and anakin is just like fork hovering right in front of his mouth levels of enraptured he's done he's dead he's wayyyyy miscalculated here actually ohhhh shit obi-wan sounds too good who knew he sounded like that now all he can think about is the vague half-formed idea of obi-wan singing lullabies to another baby, maybe their baby sometime in the distant future oh anakin would love that.

The best show I've ever seen, it was all perfect and honestly I couldn't have dreamt of anything better for a first musical. Now the only thing I want is to go back. And be allowed to sing along.

what i REALLY wanna know is why they DID use the rogues, but only in like. shitty in-universe tie-in novels written by people who could barely string a sentence together and apparently watched the show whilst blindfolded and wearing earmuffs
