light's face when near totally ignores him, openly accuses him of making the shinigami lie on his behalf, and then addresses the task force in the room with light saying that if they have any doubts about the Second L to give him a call later. ALL WHILE LIGHT'S THE ONE ON THE MIC. oh, they're killing me.

people actually went on about how game of thrones made it socially acceptable to be a fantasy nerd, as though the lord of the rings movies hadn't been released less than a decade earlier and left far greater cultural ripples and i am just
got may have made the adults feel better about liking fantasy, but lotr got into the kids' heads when they (we) were just young and impressionable enough to be absolutely transported and emotionally rewritten by don't you leave him, samwise gamgee and my brother, my captain, my king and and rohan will answer
lotr was rewriting entire generations' brain chemistry long before asoiaf and so obviously it's not fair to compare any post-lotr fantasy novel to it, and each book series was trying to do different things within their own spheres and so that also is not a fair comparison, but in terms of the cultural impact of the adaptations that came out within a decade of each other, saying that it was game of thrones that made fantasy mainstream is baffling
game of thrones could only run because the lord of the rings movies laid the path, and i will die on this hill

2018: "Oh my god, they actually released it outside of Japan? Oh, it ended on a cliffhanger. Too bad it's never going to get a sequel."
2019: "Ex-fucking-scuse me??????"
2023:
"WHAT"

just casually thinking about how throughout the entirety of 'The Golden City', you're reading Hytham's pov on just how incredible Basim is. Hytham thinks Basim is wise and dangerous and kind and everything that he hopes to be a fraction of someday.
you never get a glimpse into Basim's mind and what he really thinks of Hytham until the second time they spar, and it's then you finally read the forbidden line
and suddenly all that praise that Hytham had been throwing Basim's way was being reciprocated every step of the way.
unfuckingbelievable.
