'lloyd is very weak now and needs to marry so he'll have someone to protect him'- lloyd has the only grandmaster on the world following him around like a puppy. he has the most terrifying motherfucker on the world wrapped around his little finger. he has the one person in the world who can hit an absolute in the head and get away with it swearing in his heart to protect him no matter the cost over and over again.

lloyd made javier watch him die twice right in front of him just to keep him alive. there is no power on existence that could make javier allow anyone or anything to even think about harming lloyd again.

lloyd is fine

I can’t stop thinking about how Trapp is playing Hunch.

Like his client asks him to find someone and he does. Job over. But instead of questioning Conrad, or trying to break down the mystery of it all, he’s more concerned with how everyone’s treating him. So, he gets in a fight with the owner of a speakeasy, tries to stop known mobsters, stands up to a literal murderer, all because he sees a kid and knows he can’t possibly deserve the treatment he’s getting. He isn’t getting paid to care about Conrad, or even really Imelda. And yet when they to go to the memory bank, Hunch immediately acts as a distraction, so Imelda can get what they need without anyone else getting hurt. Technically, their business is done, but he still makes himself the target rather than playing the part of the detective he is and potentially putting her in danger.

Curiosity doesn’t need to be kind, but he is. He’s kind because sometimes, being curious about other people, means trusting them before you have the proof that it’s the right choice.

Okay i'm in my feels now!! I mean I Have Been the entire day, watching New's concert but-

I've been following NuNew and ZNN for almost two entire years now and I've seen them both grow as artists, people, and in their relationship with the fans and how much and what they choose to share with us. If you don't follow them at all or not much, this might not hit you the same way as it did me but let me try to explain.

P'Zee is the type of person who constantly seems on the verge of yelling out his feelings because he can't contain them. He's mostly the one who's slowly been spilling small details of their private relationship to fans and the public, almost soft launching, really. I will never move on from the closing scene & last kiss scene in Cutie Pie because P'Zee suggested it himself, he really wanted a scene to publicly show affection and express love:

So today, when I heard him say he's been wanting to do this for a long time and I saw New get nervous, I immediately got the same brand of nervous that I always get when coming out to people. I don't know if it's just me who felt like this was momentous but here it is in full, translations by me below the clip:

Z: Well... one thing that I've been wanting to do for a long time.

NN: Hm?

Z: That [I've? we've?] never done anywhere before, that you said is giving encouragement and expressing love. I also think that's what it is.

NN: Do what?

Z: And I'm a person who has to ask first, like, [I] can't just go right in.

NN: ...

Z: 🫴 Can [I] (sniff) kiss [you]? *NN starts crying here 🥺* 🫂 Hm? Just now you said you wouldn't cry. [You] did so well! 🫂 Mh! 💋 [You] did so well! (×2) (keeps comforting and praising him softly) Why are you crying? Hm? Tissues-

NN: Crying again...

Z: Crying again.

NN: Why am [I] such a crybaby!

Z: [I] don't see it being a big deal. ... Isn't he talented, everyone?

🗣: He is!

Z: Please be his encouragement as I am as well! Today you did it. You did- in my opinion, you've achieved such a success. And you should be happy for yourself. [I] believe that everyone is super happy for you, as well.

NN: Thank you.

Z: This time I won't be stealing the tissues. (referring to day1 lol)

NN: 😸

The more I see on my dash about how much more sense it makes for Sam and Tucker to be endgame the more annoyed I am that it didn't happen.

Also My two cents on how Sam and Tucker make more sense as a couple than Sam and Danny is that the outcome (Happy couple with half-dead best friend third wheel) mirrors the college trio but would show how much Vlad and Danny differ from each other despite their similar circumstances. Where Vlad becoming a halfa ended the college trio's friendship, the everlasting trio's bond grew stronger as Sam and Tucker stuck by Danny's side and did their best to help him out, so where Jack and Maddie hooked up and Vlad resented it, Danny would probably be surprised at first but be happy for them.

Pour one out for Reggie, always second choice for the Lodges after Archie

SECOND CHOICE FOR EVERYONE. like literally it is so hard to evaluate reggie (especially w/r/t the lodges) without bringing in The Tragedy Of The Side Character Rival-Foil who exists in the narrative to experience B-plot versions of the A-plot in miniature

riverdale-the-metanarrative is so blatantly full of guys who are different versions of archie and where his character could go in the story if he didn't have to be the protagonist-hero - munroe as the jaded star fighter with the same nickname hiram originally used on archie as an endearment, who could get out of this damn town if he commits to sports. eric jackson as the disabled vet with unmanaged ptsd who betrayed his unit for a manipulative man in authority who just gets to be a respectable figure in society while his groomed victims suffer (and he could speak up and get justice if he's willing to handle the social impacts of being labeled a survivor). kevin as the openly-gay damagingly-impulsive, validation-seeking, people-pleasing, insecure joiner with a nice-but-emotionally-distant dad who keeps trying to find happiness through in-group conformism. julian s7 as literal understudy, and the guy who died in war (also got targeted and negged by s7 reboot hiram lodge in the s7 reboot version of wrestling. dramatic monologues).

reggie is like. the most powerful and tragic of all of these archie analogs bc he's sometimes a rival, too. so his jealousy and inferiority complex towards archie exists both inside and outside of the narrative! all of those other archie reflections aren't also competing with him and comparing themselves to him and constantly getting handed his leftovers and cast-offs and feeling that that is what's happening. but reggie is :\

anyway. so tragic. love u reggie

I can't believe the Jeju episodes will have this Jimin and at the same time being the episodes that will make watching the show somehow difficult. It feels like punishment.

Save me, hot Jimin in glasses

I don't think No True Scotsman-ing feminism is helpful but there are a lot of people (esp, in my experience, middle class cishet white women, but not exclusively) whose entire feminist education is pop feminism, & they tend to have a very shallow view of feminism & its politics while thinking they are better educated than they are. and they also have very badly made arguments that physically hurt me to hear made even if I agree with the point they are trying to make.

& tbh I think this is part of how radical feminism gets so popular especially amongst the aforementioned group. because radical feminism, for all it's flaws, DOES promise to make feminism a radically left movement again, purposefully ties itself to historical Marxist feminist theory. & if you are tired of lukewarm liberal pop feminism & want something with teeth, that's really enticing. and if you are a cis woman, especially a white one, it's very easy to let that desire for something with teeth & unexamined transphobia/cissexism guide you into Being An Asshole

so the poll was a mix of 'yes make them kiss' and the secret third thing

this is like passionate wild kissing with Tongue to me. it may not have the explicit gesture itself but this mere concept fucks me up worse than kissing. It's like I was looking at something I shouldn't be looking at the entire time I was making this. It felt like I was intruding on a private moment

Astarion: I didn't take these refugees for killers. Maybe I've misjudged them. They're still going to die, but at least they're willing to fight. Ezra: They're desperate. And desperate people will do anything. Astarion: True. Back any beast into a corner and you'll quickly see its teeth.

Playing through EA and my god knowing we could've had this level of companion reactivity makes me absolutely furious...

There's nothing I can do without someone having an opinion on it. You know how Gale will want to speak to you after every good deed you do in the grove? Imagine that but for EVERYTHING. I end a battle or talk to someone and there's a 50% chance one of the companions is gonna get an exclamation mark above their head straight away.

And it's random! It's not always the same person! SO much dialogue cut and for what. Having them react this way to stuff during a Durge playthrough would've been CRAZY. Larian I'm coming for your fucking kneecaps.

The Snipers reader bias is so funny. Comment after comment will drag a wizard for every generic, minor misjudgement, but that time Ed was totally hyped to set off an EMP he admitted would probably have blown something up, who knows how big or dangerous, everyone went aww poor baby wrecking ball, cruel and mean they aren't letting you knock down more buildings :( the secret to a successful coup is to have fun and be yourself, but you're being unjustly limited :((( maybe a threesome would fix this

(I'm not criticizing, it just gave me a laugh reading them)

Don’t you understand we have to kill 15 year old Hermione for daring to exist near Roy Mustang
