Made this a couple days before I saw Kung Fu Panda 4. This cover song is AWESOME. The movie itself is… well …. It’s… a movie.
I just imagine Po leaving to fight the Chameleon and he realizes he’ll be with Tigress and he's going to miss her and SHUT UP I STILL BELIEVE IN THIS SHIP AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OKAY
(Ngl, for a second, part of me was like "TENACIOUS D SHIPS THESE TWO OMG!!" because the video Tenacious D posted covering this song on Instagram was captioned "STILL BELIEVE 🐼🐯”.)
Seriously, though if someone went back in time and told me Jack Black will cover a Britney Spears song AND it kicks ass, I'd probably send them to a mental hospital or something, 'cause WHAT?!
Also, I was planning on releasing this on April 5th (the Mario movie's anniversary), but I decided it would get more traction if I posted it now. Enjoy. ;3
So, listen. We talk about Vegas giving Pete what he needs when he lets Pete beat the shit out of him in the parking garage in Ep 14, but that’s never entirely worked for me, and I think I’ve finally started getting my hands around why.
You’re going to have a hard time convincing me Vegas is that altruistic at that point. That may be a little bit of what’s going on, but this is a guy who’s already made the ultimate sacrifice of letting Pete go - Vegas tells Pete he’s sorry behind Yok’s bar, but he never asks for Pete to come back to him, he doesn’t ask Pete to forgive him, he doesn’t ask for shit from Pete except (twice) to kill him (btw, how’s that feel on the other side, Pete?). I absolutely don’t want to downplay what Vegas does here, because it’s a lot. And in return, it’s not like Pete then walked away from the main family for Vegas. As far as Vegas knew, Pete was going to go right back to his pre-safehouse life with the main family and without Vegas, pack Vegas up into a little box somewhere and stuff it way way down in the back of his mind, and Vegas would be lucky if he saw Pete in the lineup of main bodyguards at a family function. Or, you know, more likely Vegas would be dead, and Pete would move on, as far as Vegas could tell. The next time Vegas sees Pete after the scene behind Yok’s bar, Pete is back at Kinn’s side. The first time Vegas sees Pete in the minor family’s assault on the main family compound, Pete is covering Kinn, until Kinn’s boyfriend shows up to take over that job. Pete has repeatedly shown Vegas that he’d rather be the main family’s loyal hound than return to Vegas again.
So, I submit that an awful lot of the beatdown in the parking garage is a kid who’s learned that even negative attention is attention (you think he doesn’t know what people say about him?) and who’s willing to let his crush beat the shit out of him because it’s 1) better than being ignored and 2) more proof that Pete feels something about him.
Louis is a boxer, and hates one of the members of his club, Harry Styles. Life has a funny way of showing Louis that maybe he doesn't hate Harry as much as he thought, or that Louis maybe finds Harry hot.
this is genuinely the longest fic i've ever written and at the time of making this post i'm not even finished-
