one of my favorite facts about gekko hayashi (artist who drew gay erotica) is that he was straight guy who pivoted from sci-fi & monster stuff to illustrating for gay & bdsm mags at like 50 years old because he wanted to expand his artistic horizons, and compensated by lack of lived experience by setting up a phone line for gay men to call in & recount their stories so he could illustrate them...legend

Публикую последнюю часть великолепной серии фанфиков "желание умереть"!!! ААААА!!! (+ маленький бонус)

[watchingwisteria]

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

Regulus: Tout est de ta faute

James, sighning: Yeah, I know

Sirius: Since when do you speak french?

James: I don’t, I just know the phrase "this is all your fault" in every language he speaks

Ah, yes. Sebastian is an idiot, but he's such a good boy, y'know.

At least he didn’t overreact

Zelda travelling around Hyrule after the Calamity and people are tripping over themselves to tell her stories about the Hero because they love that feral cryptid mad man and are so proud of him

'I met him when I was about to get eaten by a Hinox...he jumped off a horse, fired 12 arrows in the blink of an eye and then got smacked in the face with a tree...but then he came back and hacked away at it's legs with this stupidly big sword until it finally died'

'He was wearing this weird patched together mask that looked like a monster but he made enough curry for everyone so we didn't like to ask'

'But...the hero was a girl? She wore these lovely green silks and every time she came out of the Gerudo Canyon she had a bag full of electric safflina to sell to Beedle over there. The Gerudo think she's an amazing fighter, which says a lot, and she always thanked me for looking after her horses when she went into the desert'

'I swear to Hylia that he ran through here wearing nothing but his underwear and a mask shaped like a leaf...claimed he was looking for the Children of the Forest. Sorry, Princess, but I'm not sure he was quite right in the head at the time'

'He used to creep in here silently wearing this grey mask and with enough lizards and beetles that we could make enough elixirs to last for a month. Not sure I ever saw his face without it'

And the entire time Link is stood neatly dressed, three steps away, listening to every word and no one pays him the slightest bit of attention. Because none of them cotton on that 'prim and proper Royal Knight' Link and 'I will defeat this Lynel with a stick, a pot lid and a bucket load of adrenaline' Wild Child Hero is the same man. Especially with how many masks he owned.

When they walk away and are out of sight and earshot Zelda just raises her eyebrow with a smile and he is like '...I can explain...it made sense at the time'

Headcanon Jason Todd is versed in like five different languages because he travels so much and he surprises his brothers and sister by that:

Jason, on the phone: Zasranets, ya skazal, v magazine na uglu! (Asshole, I said, at the corner store!)

Dick: Um, who are you-

Jason, still on the phone: Ryadom s gastronomom, a ne s Makdonal'dsom, u tebya yest' desyat' minut! (Near the grocery store, not McDonald's, you have ten minutes!)

Jason hangs up the phone.

Jason: Okay, we got ten minutes. Also can you not talk while I'm on the phone next time.

Dick Grayson: You... You speak Russian?

Jason: I learned it a few years ago.

Dick Grayson: What do you use it for?

Jason: To meet ... Friends from a far. So when three men enter this store, it's for totally legal reasons.

Dick Grayson: For my sake and yours, I'll pretend that's true.

...

Tim: Jason, Jason! I need to talk to you!

Jason, groaning: Anong gusto mo?!

Tim: Did you speak... Was that Filipino?

Jason: Shit my brain got confused for a second, I was talking to some... Friends about a... Meeting in a week and it's hard to switch back to English. Teaching yourself Filipino ain't easy, am I right? I asked you 'what do you want?'

Tim: I completely forgot, I'm low-key impressed.

...

Damien: Hallo, Todd hast du den neuen Film gesehen? (Hello Todd have you seen the new movie?)

Jason: Ja. (Yes)

Damien: War es gut? (Was it good?)

Jason: Mittelmäßig, das Ende zog sich hin. (Mediocre, the end dragged on.)

Damien nods and walks off.

Barbara: When did either of you learn German?

Jason: I learned it to travel to Germany to meet with a crime boss and shoot him in the brain. This was before I got better, not like last week or anything. Then I taught Damien.

Barbara: Oh, cool. I admire your honesty to me.

Jason: Yeah I respect you enough not to lie. That and you scare me.

Barbara: Habe es immer noch verstanden. (Still got it.)

My favorite restaurant has a corkboard up where people can stick little sticky notes, and someone just added one that says "我不想你了！我不爱你了！" And a more under it saying "BOY BYEEEEE" and "sana macatfish ka xoxo"

Dungeon Meshi - Magical Advisor

[molinaesque]

By killing her mum in a mercy kill, she's doing exactly what the Ghoul did to Roger. She's learnt from him. She has turned into him. When she said, "I'll never be you," maybe that's not true. And in that moment, when she shoots her mum, it means so many things. It means 'I'm coming with you.' It means. 'I f*cking hate you, but I have turned into you, you were right.' It means she's letting go of her golden centre. I want the audience at the end of the show to wonder if their hero is still a good person. I don't know who she's gonna be in season two, but this is what happens when you break the unbreakable. I don't know who she's about to become. [...] I'd be down to play it either way. - Ella Purnell (x)

C'MON TO THE THEATER!

I love these guys so much. forget NRC, I want to attend their terrible disaster school for disaster children that might actually be plastered on top of the smoking remains of an actively sinking ship. I may or may not actually learn anything, but I will have the time of my life.
