andor's colors are red and white, in eotw the opposing factions in caemlyn are red (pro-morgase/white tower) and white (anti-morgase/tower), in tsr gawyn chooses red (elaida/tower) and galad chooses white (whitecloaks/anti-tower)..............gawyn and galad really are complementary characters who parallel and foil each other

I need more maiden-like men in straight romance. The type who want a meaningful first kiss and get flustered at the thought of being intimate with the woman they like.

i think one of the reasons i enjoy the percy series so much is because it’s an adaptation of the novels and not word for word the same.

at first i was a little upset by all the changes, but after rereading the books, i actually like the series even more now. as much as we all adore the books, i think we can agree that they’re not perfect. sometimes there’s plot holes, inconsistencies, or just bad writing in general. this gives rick a chance to fix those things, and that’s OKAY.

the series isn’t perfect either, don’t get me wrong, but it is nice to see the characters going on the same adventures even with some variation to the original story. i think this will allow the characters to be fleshed out more.

we have to remember that a tv show and a book is not the same medium, so the way these things are presented cannot be identical. otherwise the characters in the show would probably seem pretty flat since the books are only from percy’s perspective. the series allows us to learn more about the motives and personalities of other characters, be it annabeth, grover, or luke (personally, i’m really excited to see how his character’s story goes).

anyway, all of this is to say that the percy series is great for what it is (an adaptation of a book series). yes it could be better (cough longer and more episodes cough), but i personally really enjoy it so far.

Matoba is grinning mischievously holding a hand to his face. He is wearing a kimono with a white nagagi, a dark blue haori, and shoes of the same color. He has black cat ears, a cat tail, and a cat mouth. The background is dark red. The second image is Natori smiling grandly while winking. He has one hand to his chest while the other is thrown in the air dramatically, and is wearing a black button up under a green jacket, beige pants, and brown shoes. He has brown dog ears and a fluffy dog tail. The background is light sage green. End image description.]

I think if tpodg adaptations want to have a plausible way to 'redeem' Dorian or give him a more 'sympathetic' character arc after he murders Basil, then instead of forcing a love-interest on him, they should force him into Henry's role.

Since Dorian will def make into the 20th century, have him meet someone like him, someone stunningly beautiful, but hopelessly na��ve, and then have him serve as their Henry. This gives you at least two options:

The cycle repeats itself- the new pretty person just becomes another Dorian. This maintains the cautionary tale of the original.

The new pretty person rejects Dorian's bullshit - This can be for any number of reasons, maybe the political happenings around them stop them from losing empathy (the 20th century was eventful to say the least), maybe they see the red flags, or (my personal favorite) they have a Basil-figure in their lives who they trust more than the weird ass twink spouting victorian shit. No matter the reason, Dorian will be forced to confront how painfully empty Henry's life was and, because he followed suit, his own life too. This is especially true if the new person has a Basil-figure; Dorian already knew Basil would have saved him, but this rubs salt into the wound and forces him to recognize his own hand in his downfall.

I think forcing Dorian to confront his worldview and then having him realize how awful it is creates a much better foundation for a redemption arc than introducing a new random love interest would.

Hetty Merton (and the subsequent figures who follow) cannot be the one who redeems him, because the whole point about her character is that she didn't matter. One good act and, therefore, one good person is not going to redeem Dorian nor really inspire change in him, otherwise Basil would have been enough.

Dick & Tim’s favorite picture book

Dick: Right, I almost forgot about that. The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Grey Bridge. Tim: My dad used to read me that book at night. I think he loved it even more than I did. Dick: Yeah. My dad too. This city and the red lighthouse seemed a million miles away from the circus and the elephant dung. Tim: Even read it to my dad when he was in that coma.

OKAY LISTEN this is just a throwaway panel in Nightwing 140 BUT let us pause to consider this storybook that apparently both Dick and Tim’s dads read to them when they were young and impressionable

It is the story of a little red lighthouse and its IDENTITY CRISIS

I cannot possibly express how great this storybook is but here are some snapshots

But don’t worry, there’s a happy ending:

Anyway, in conclusion this is the best possible storybook for Dick and Tim to have grown up on, 10/10, no notes.

a friend who'd wait :)

At last he said brusquely, ‘I have an idea that Tonio is sodomizing the boy.’

(Shit!)

‘Does that surprise you? He’s your son, the spitting image of you.’

(Shit!)

‘Matilde, you aren’t about to accuse me of...’

‘Darling, please don’t be ridiculous. If I say he’s the spitting image of you, it’s because it’s true; that’s all there is to it.’ (Father was about to say something, but chose instead to gulp down his wine. Mother, in turn, controlled her voice, which for a moment had almost become completely alien to her parlor.) ‘I know something about sodomy,’ she said. ‘It’s the nature of men.

‘It reminds me of when I was sixteen. Do you remember?’ (Father thought it best not to answer.) ‘The boy who used to dog my footsteps from the time I was a little girl, a handsome, husky nineteen-year-old named Carlos, who always put himself between my gaze and the rest of the world, the son of my family’s estate manager, and who, as it turned out, would marry me—a decision I made myself—that boy had fire. He didn’t want to get me pregnant before we got married, but he had a burning desire to “express himself in me”—and I’m not making a word of this up, that’s just what he said—and felt it more strongly every day.
