people ship spider with amerie?? that's funny bc i think spider is gay lmao

(explains why he couldn't get it up, he doesn't like amerie he's just using her as a beard/experiment to see if he really is gay/doesn't like girls, i have other reasons but those are the main ones) i'm also just convinced that no one is het in this show /hj

One of my favorite headcanons is that Leo grew up watching telenovelas with Splinter.

It just works so well - his bits of Spanish that he spouts randomly, his showy way of apologizing, and, of course, his love for dramatic betrayals all point to this being a very real possibility.

Plus, it’s very cute to imagine a tiny Leo at his father’s side as they both gasp in shock when the show’s eighth plot twist in just as many episodes happens.

thinking about steve in that first scene in nancys bedroom back in season one. thinking about how goofy and flirty and charming and playful he was being. thinking about him being like that with eddie, and how eddie would react to that version of steve. the whole talking in a silly voice, acting as that stuffed bear, the whole “bad steve :( don’t do that to miss nancy :( “ and “you are beautiful nancy wheeler”.

eddie plays dnd, even more so, he DMs dnd games, he stands up on tables in cafeterias and makes big theatrical scenes to rant about issues he has strong stances on — that man knows how to put on a show, and enjoys to watch one too. see: immediately accepting erica into hellfire as a replacement after seeing her go on one of her tangents, showing off her attitude and how she isn’t afraid to get in your face to get her way. he LOVESS that shit. lives for it. seeks it out. so when steve starts getting like that around him he would just crumble immediately i just know it.

CLIVEEEEE. CLIVE ROSFIELDDDD

ahem. anyway im so normal about him.

definitely normal about how despite 13 years of living as a slave and forced into being an assassin/killer for the empire that played such a big role in destroying his life. totally normal about how before that he likely had to deal with his mother and her abusive behaviours towards him. MOST CERTAINLY NORMAL, about how he still cares for others and is still willing to lend a hand (see: the first sidequests you can access in game. literally just helping out the hideaway residents with mundane tasks like helping carrying wood and bringing people meals) despite the abuses and oppression and judgment he's suffered from so many people throughout his life. (i think its mentioned in game how at the start of his shield training he was mostly seen as just being indulged by his father. and that if we weren't any good at it people would have just thought he was a spoiled lordling or smth like that)(also, as the duchess, annabella likely greatly affected how clive was viewed by the people of rosaria. she treated him as a firstborn failure, and there were no doubt people who followed that example either because they believed her rhetoric or wanted to try and get/stay in her good graces. this would have affected everyone from the nobility, to the common people, to the servants of the household, at least to some degree) Every achievement clive did has been fought for through pain, and still he has come out as an empathetic and honest person (who cant lie lol. which is ironic because he was an assassin???? im guessing that means he just stayed silent most the time and slapped his scowl in his face as a defence idk)

just. ugh. i love him and the themes of resilience throughout his character arc go soooo well with the game and its emphasis on human will and freedom - even if that freedom involves evil being present in the world, as there will always be good people present too.

Is Ice just as oblivious when men are hitting on him? I know you had him clueless and unaware he was on a dinner date with his female classmate but I wonder if there are some guys that clock him as gay and then flirt with him.

generally clueless (as in, simply not devoted to paying attention anymore) but not stupid. obviously if you beat someone over the head when you come on to them they’ll figure it out eventually. he might even figure it out quicker with guys because it’s more “out of the ordinary” so to speak

im imagining for instance him and maverick going out to a bar in the early/mid 90s and maverick is off putting the moves on someone else (because he’s maverick but also perhaps to make ice jealous [like a 25% success rate]) and ice gets clocked and hit on by the guy next to him… and his reaction is like 50% “not interested 😒🤨” and 50% “not interested 😌💅” his needs are already being met no WAY this guy could compare to mav 😋

the thing is I do quite like individual stephen moffat episodes, I think they're good episodes. they get less good when you start to see patterns of writing and how he has a tendency of beating a dead horse + ongoing sexism which may be missed in one episode, but becomes very clear through repetition, but if one considers them as one-offs they're Neat bits of writing. it's when he tries to make it longform that it all falls to pieces for me and reverberates back. his lore is a mess and consequently so are his characters if one spends more than an episode or two with them.

watched all the available episodes of sousou no frieren today and surprised myself with how much i enjoyed it so i want to leave my thoughts here before i forget them; i think it would've been a lot more enjoyable if i was catching it from the start, but i ended up crying more than several times anyway

it's such a good concept to begin with, the storytelling is so compelling, and i really enjoyed the atmosphere in every episode. the worldbuilding is very good, we never really get exposition dumped but we learn things as the characters do, which keeps things believable and easy to stomach... plus, we always see stories about the defeat of the demon king, and much less the story of the aftermath, which got me interested in it in the first place. and especially when you add in the factor of time as a matter of inconsequence to frieren in comparison to everyone else especially with her personality... it's so satisfying seeing the exploration of things like the delicate balance between memories of the past and their inability to be changed with how they have influenced and shaped growth (of both the characters and the world) into the present, the passing of time and its varying (in)significance to the characters caught in its flow, the transience of life and (the learning of) what it means to live...

even then the flow of time passing is animated so well; there's this relentlessness to its passing, but despite that it flows like a calm river, clear and constant and steady, never hurrying, never drying. and mage's comment about it showcasing perfectly how frieren stays the same despite time passing is really neat too. on the flip side seeing how things have changed over time (the borrowing, adaptation, improvement of spells from demons which then go on to be adopted by mages is something i really fucking liked!! and the way fern uses the magic so casually as a way to demonstrate the development of magic turning a death spell into 'ordinary offensive magic' is so so good. frieren using this to teach her a history lesson was Also really good.)

it's hard to dislike any of the main characters when they show such strong cohesion of their complex pasts and personalities, and their actions do so well to showcase who they are even in battle (fern's precision and blunt simplicity stands out here). you can even see how they have changed each other over the course of their journey... frieren wanting to give up on finding the lost ring so not to slow the party down but fern insisting they'll stay until she finds it contrasting with her impatience with frieren spending months trying to find the blue moon weed at the beginning of their journey is something that stuck with me a lot

the other thing that stuck with me is the rebuilding of the original party not only thematically within their roles but also in influence by the original heroes (fern being taught by frieren and their noted similarity in the earlier episodes with regards to magic, stark being taught by eisen and the same way they express and approach fear, sein's choice not to become an adventurer being directly influenced by heiter not to mention their obvious similarities in habits)... and of those it's really fitting how frieren represents himmel's hero role now after she was influenced by her journey with himmel, especially with his death giving immense meaning to her new journey and frieren copying his actions because it's what he would do

but i enjoyed it... will be back next week..... waha.............

lbr, johann would be fascinated with barton’s mask and compliment him on how well preserved it is.

❝ holy shit. i almost gave up hope with this stupid card, but it seems like someone is just my type, ❞ barton let out a loud incredulous laugh upon seeing that ALL of the boxes for this card were ticked. he was almost tempted to ask if johann was lying about some of them, but what would he really have to gain from that besides... his favor, i guess you could say? and the other didn't really seem like the type to try to manipulate him. at least, in this way. barton honestly was kind of speechless — he hadn't really planned for someone to be perfectly compatible with him, so what the hell was he supposed to do now?

marriage. that was the only solution.

Yes. 110% yes. Come here and cuddle me under the blanket.

I'm screenshotting rather than derailing this post but

I'd like to call it now before I'm accused of this by someone who thinks the thematic foundation of a particular show is the "romance"

just. Based on some *takes* I've seen.
