tony calls both peter and harley ‘kid’ and happy only ever knows who he’s talking about because for harley he’ll say ‘the kid’ and for peter he’ll say ‘my kid.’ him and pepper have a bet on who out of the three will realise first

something I really love about the Narnia movies is that all of the posters and film covers portray the Pevensies as incredibly serious and moody

when in reality they're four sarcastic beans who most of the time are arguing about silly things and who probably relish pranking each other a little too much

i do like regulus and enjoy various ships and friendships with him in. but pls. he is not a marauder. pls don't replace peter with him. i mean i think i liked it more when people just left him out rather than replacing him with regulus. like sure, you can make him friends with them if you really want, but don't just blur peter out and slot regulus in there. peter deserves better <3 like sure peter did dumb shit he shouldn't have but so did regulus alright? and peter is actually a marauder, not regulus. sirius, james, and remus are actually making grabby hands to peter because they want him back and regulus has left them to go read about true crime. like,, honestly cannot imagine regulus even playing a prank. he'd hate that kinda stuff. whilst peter lives for it,, cause he's literally a marauder. y'know at this point i'm just gonna shove peter and regulus together and make them snog and make up.

“Well, [Charles] needs to be in a Red Bull RB19 with Adrian Newey fussing around him all day. Short of that, it’s not going to be easy. If he’s at Ferrari, I don’t know what he needs, but he needs a car as quick as a Red Bull and no politics. [It’s] impossible. He’s not gonna achieve Max’s level, in my opinion, because he’s got too much other stuff going on in his brain to focus on being as good as Max is right now.”

“I think he’s quite a hard guy. I remember watching him at Monza in Formula 2, in his last year when he was with Prema. A good team doing a lot of winning, but he wasn’t very good in qualifying – I remember I chatted to him afterwards and said, 'It’s surprising you’re not quick here, Charles.' And he said, ‘I just didn’t drive very well. I just wasn’t very good. I wasn’t very good on the braking at the Parabolica, never really very good into the first Lesmo’. I thought, ‘Wow, this guy is unbelievably self-critical – this guy’s bound to become World Champion!’

“You could say maybe he’s a bit too self-critical. Maybe, but I’ve always felt self-criticism is an incredibly powerful tool of how to improve and, generally, I think I’m right. Maybe Charles is a little bit too self-critical. But I don’t think it’s hurt him really. I think it’s more just being an intelligent guy at Ferrari – I think it’s a difficult thing to be – intelligent, and at Ferrari – unless it’s your Ferrari and you’ve created it as Michael [Schumacher] or Niki [Lauda] did!”

finally continuing my tpp relisten and it is really very funny that the first season was like “here’s this super competent detective and star sharpshooter— but wait! he’s met his match with this super competent thief that is so good it’s nearly unbelievable!” and then season 3 they’re the two silly goofs that are mostly around to be made fun of for kissing while the rest of the characters are ACTUALLY competent

Anyway here’s an example of using your body to actually enhance your acting:

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise Of Electro" (2014, dir Mark Webb)

Andrew is so good as Spider-Man, he always had the best mannerisms and body acting since you can’t see his face at all. He figured out a way to convey what Peter Parker was feeling under that mask without having mechanical lenses. And without the need to remove the mask just to speak, I wish and those in charge at Marvel knew that actors can act with masks (I hate the nanotech suits). His quippyness is on another level too.

Reading the current Miles Morales series is fun, and it has its good moments, but it's really weird to get the impression that Ziglar has a better grasp on Mac Gargan of all characters than he does the star of his book... 😅

Like, don't get me wrong, I don't feel it's a terrible book by any stretch of the word. In fact I'd say it's pretty delightful. Rabble was a fun villain and even Carnage Reigns was better than it had any right to be. And I appreciate Kamala being there too, and I've really come to love Starling.

But, as much as I complain about Bendis-isms... I do wish Miles had retained his confidence that he'd been essentially forced to gain over the course of his earlier years. He's obviously still very capable as a hero, but his deference to some more veteran heroes strikes me as a little weird? Like, come on, this is the same teenager who said "fuck the Avengers", burned his ID card, and helped start a team with other like minded young heroes.

But also I just think it would be funny for Miles to deck Mac with a venom-blast-powered fist next time Scorpion calls him "kid".

It turns out that the Eleventh Doctor Appeal mostly boils down to

A character who

Is goofy

While being very competent

And deeply kind

And that's the secret formula for designing my favorite characters.

'How well would your OCs do against a cockroach' Tag

Taking @touloserlautrec's open tag! I'll leave this an open tag too.

Winchester crew (TFA)

Dez: just watching it. Probably trying to identify it on the network. 0% concerned.

Syndy: ugh you have to smash these, they're bad news. [misses like five times and then manages to smash it into the engravings on her feet] Peeeteeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Peter: it's okay I'll have these cleaned up in a sec. Oh look, there's another one. Let me-- oh, never mind, Tulip [his dog] just ate it.

Zel: believes the cockroach is too fast to squish, therefore it is, no matter how carefully she approaches it with a shoe (it would be Zalen's shoe if he ever wore anything that wasn't heels. This delicate procedure requires surface area).

Anni: chasing it around furniture trying to capture it in a glass while running through all the possible reasons there could be a cockroach??? in her house???

Julian: sighs and manages to stomp it on the first try.

Hoven: stares at it and wills it not to come any closer before he can make Julian deal with it.

Urma: climbs on the table and calls Anni.

Nicea crew

Declan: immediately decides this is above his pay grade and goes to find someone else to deal with it.

Cady: cockroach trapper extraordinaire. The cockroach is now living its best life over in the woods and it better stay there.

Rodney: he should do something about this. And he will. Probably. When he's done watching it in horror and not moving an inch.

Isabel: tries to smash it, misses, enters rage mode. It will not escape her. She will be waiting (and reasoning out whether she has brought the cockroach with her snack habits or it's unrelated).

Spinder: concocting a plan to hit it on the first try with whatever is closest to him, but it vanishes while he's thinking about it.

Tristan: not at all worried about getting up close and personal with the cockroach but still having a bad time trying to catch it or even squish it.

Tatya: in true cowgirl fashion, herds it out the door.

Bo: is anyone looking? No? They grab it off the wall and stuff it into their mouth.

Warner Brothers should've let Michael Jackson split the difference and collaborated with Danny Elfman on Charlie and Chocolate Factory like they let Prince for Batman because MJ is all about that childhood is twee spooky goth shit.
