cannot stop thinking about a romanced Lavellan being the default world state. it seems like no big deal at first until you realize that it’s the world state that all new players to the franchise will use. it is the world state they chose for people who are brand new to the world and its characters. it’s the world state they chose to get new people invested in the world. whatever happens in that world state isn’t just for us, who have been eagerly waiting, but is significant enough that they want every single brand new player to see it, to experience those scenes. i need to lay down

I'm watching Emma (2009) and I've previously seen the 2020 movie, and I always can't help but aro-code Emma! As someone who is grey-aromantic, I see myself in her. She questions what love feels like, often questions whether she's in love (captures that platonic, infatuation, sexual or romantic attraction confusion) and in general, is perfectly content with remaining unmarried and never being in a relationship. I relate to horror, confusion and somewhat romantic repulsion when someone confesses they romantically like her. Also, it goes without saying that grey-aromantics can experience romantic attraction, and she falls in love with only Mr Knightley, which is a nice example of an aromatic person being in a relationship while retaining their lgbtq identity

I'm gonna cherish this quote and pic for a long time

To be clear: despite this sad episode, my feelings towards Tee have not changed, I have exactly the same opinion of him as I had before. Watching his overwhelming guilt, his situation at home, his self-pity and the feeling that with love and White he can be a better person, in no way erases from my mind how actively Tee worked to hurt Non. How he actively chose evil over and over again. I just want to say that I still remember that they are all responsible for what happened to Non, as no one tried to stop this spiral of evil that they themselves put Non on. Objectively, I know that they were kids back then, I know that none of them expected it would end like this. But I also know objectively that they didn't HAVE to do most of the things they did and they did them anyway, because they didn't see Non as a human being, but as some greasy subhuman. I like stories like this, I like showing characters like Tee, it was a VERY INTERESTING EPISODE, and Tee is a VERY INTERESTING CHARACTER. Unfortunately for all of them, I REMEMBER. And I know that no one was punished for it. NOBODY. Even Tee is somehow "rewarded" with a second chance. A chance his victims never received.

"Hey, uh," Richie said, sitting down at their table. "Do you think Max, possibly, would go into engineering?"

"Yes! Absolutely!" Ruth immediately screamed, making Steph flinch.

"Loud," Steph muttered. "But I'd say maybe? He could, but I don't know if he knows he could."

"Max is not smart enough to go into engineering," Grace spat. Ruth, Richie and Steph snickered. Pete sighed.

"I really don't know Max well enough to make a call on that," Pete said, shaking his head.

"Make a call on what?" Max asked, sitting down too. Everyone froze except for Grace.

"Whether you'd go into engineering," She said. "It sounds like an easy question, I don't know why Richie seemed so confused."

"You think I could go into engineering?" Max asked, half genuine and half humorous.

"I-If you let yourself," Richie said, looking down at his hands.

"Oh," He breathed.

"Yeah, I changed my mind. He absolutely would go into engineering," Pete said.

"Oh my god, shut up!" Richie exclaimed, shoving his face into his hands.

And that's how Max decided to go into engineering

(He and Richie started dating two months after)

Fun fact: every war drama requires at least a marginal amount of homoerotism in order to work

[transmascutena]

the progression of episode 29 through 33 is actually insane. they just decided to put the five most explicit instances of sexual assault in the show right in a row, one episode after another, and it somehow keeps getting worse and worse every time

Tiny Review: Smoke Signals. One of the best road movies. MUST WATCH.

It’s a relatively unknown but highly acclaimed movie. I went into this with high hopes and was not disappointed.  

Go into blind and enjoy the story. MUST WATCH!

Smoke Signals is a 1998 coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed by Chris Eyre from a screenplay by Sherman Alexie, based on Alexie's short story collection The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (1993). It stars Adam Beach, Evan Adams, Irene Bedard, Gary Farmer, and Tantoo Cardinal.

Sword Snow Stride

Zhang Rouyun is definitely getting on my top Chinese drama actors list. After Joy of Life, I'm exploring his other dramas - and oh boy, they do deliver! SSS has the same scriptwriter and a few familiar faces from JOL, so I felt this show was going to be good, and I was totally right. First and foremost, this drama has outstanding visuals that give a heavy oldies wuxia vibe (especially with subdued colours). I didn't think I would love the green tint at first, but it gives a more natural look (along with the costumes, fights, and sceneries). This is definitely not a flashy cgi-packed idol-drama, at least, not in the visual and style department.

I love how the fights are choreographed and shot, there's something very intense and crisp about the way they're filmed. Being a wuxia fan, I just naturally paid attention to this part of the show, it was a pure delight, I also adore all the flying/twirling - it just looks badass, and in SSS it was depicted in a cool and elegant way - no silliness, not too much crazy CGI, only for the bigger fights which demand more grandeur.

The plot is extremely well-written, all the characters are well developed and the pace is slow enough to enjoy how each of them unravels. Zhang Ruoyun does a stellar job depicting Xu Feng Nian. XFN is not really a chess piece from the very beginning, but we see him grow and break free from his father's way of dealing with things. His values are different, but he is still his father's son when it comes to acting quick and making hard decisions (and he's ruthless enough to make his enemies wary). He starts off as a cunning smartass prince of the Xu clan ruling over Beiliang, who doesn't want to have anything to do with sects and actual fighting, but a certain event in his life makes him pick up a sword and follow in his mother's steps, as well as go on an adventure to find who killed her.

All the powerplay and scheming are smartly written and there wasn't a boring moment in the show. It does take quite a few episodes to get into what's going on because at first, we see the ML acting a bit, slowly showing his true face. His romance with Jiang Ni is very sweet and pure. He does have a harem of pretty ladies, but it was clearly stated in the show he only keeps them around and doesn't so much as even touch any of them. It was just to make everyone believe he's a careless playboy, when, in fact, he has always cared about Jiang Ni only. Romance is like 0,5% of the plot, but it's very engaging and classy in the way these two are portrayed (they bicker in a very endearing way but only give each other 'the look' and nothing more). It's not easy to create a believable romance story without actual dialogue to support it, but from their actions, glances, and the way they treat each other we get the full idea of what's going on.

The story starts off giving a vibe of palace/political drama but then does a 180 turn into a proper wuxia with fighting, grandmasters, martial arts schools, unusual creatures, and whatnot. I'm not even going into secondary characters right now - but everyone was beyond believable and interesting to watch.

I really recommend this drama - even without the season 2 it gives you some closure, and the show is too good and entertaining to miss it.

ass in the air on my hands and knees searching for link/allen (romantic platonic idgaf in this economy) fanwork i scoured the ao3 tag dry and 8 years of tumblr posts and now i am Two fists deep in pixiv, dodging projectiles of pathetic ai porn, desperately looking for crumbs. i’ve done it again folks i found a more or less dead fandom and got stuck on the niche pairing of the main character and the guy who debuted with a bowl cut and now there is nothing to be done but CRY LOUDLY and then (some time later) EQUIP PEN
