Bal is one of those people who isn’t allergic to anything except one random medication that no one uses
Ambrosius calls him a lucky bastard every time it’s brought up because he’s allergic to everything
His allergy list is at least three pages long and he doesn’t remember a single thing on that list
Whenever they go out to eat Bal has to remind him “No you can’t eat that it has olives” “Not that either love it’s got lemon” and so on
Most of his allergic reactions are pretty tame so he’ll eat it anyway
And it gives Bal and Nimona so much fucking anxiety
One time Bal walked in on Nimona chasing Ambrosius around the kitchen yelling “Spit out the carrots Nemesis you don’t even like them that much!!”
Whenever he eats alone he refers to it as a game of Russian roulette
Bal refers to it as the reason he has high blood pressure
Because Bal and Ambrosius grew up in the limelight (for very different reasons) there are a million pictures of them through the years
And they use those videos to bully the hell out of each other
Bal can quote the video from the beginning of the movie not because it was an important moment in his childhood
But because Ambrosius will quote it at the most random times throughout the day
Bal will do something small like kill a bug or chase out an animal that Nimona brought in
And he’ll hear Ambrosius mumble “I’m here to slay monsters and protect our kingdom”
He was a little worried Nimona would react badly to this habit but he started joining in
One time he killed a spider and Ambrosius asks “Are you slaying monsters moonbeam?” Nimona yells from the other room “I’m so proud of him he’s truly protecting our kingdom”
There are a million photos of baby Ambrosius on the internet
And Bal made a PowerPoint presentation ranking their cuteness factor out of 10 (100 was the lowest score he got and it was a picture of him with the ugliest bowl cut you’ve ever seen)
And made Ambrosius sit through it
That was the most loved and mortified he had felt in a long time
Nimona uses low-quality pictures of them as reaction photos
There have been times when Nimona asks “Can we eat out tonight” and Bal tells her no and she sends him this
He’ll text back “Is that my fucking wanted poster?!”
She asked Ambrosius if there was any ice cream left and he said no he expected her to call him and complain he didn’t expect this
He calls her yelling “When the fuck did that happen?!”
And she hangs up immediately to let Bal deal with it
Don’t mind me, just over here being very normal about how after Christine tells Stephen to face his fears of caring for other people and having them care for him in return, America (with Wong) shows up to rescue him.
5 times. As of today, I've read Project Hail Mary 5 times, and each time, I've happy-cried at the ending.
It's one of those endings that really makes me feel emotional. After a lifetime of fear, fear of being rejected and fear of dying, Ryland Grace makes the decision to sacrifice his life to save his best friend. He had the option to turn around and go back to Earth; nobody would have known. He could have lied about everything, and lived his life as a hero back home. But it was his love for Rocky, his best friend, that made him face the fears that always controlled him and turn the ship around.
Then, he lives quite a number of years on Erid. The high gravity deteriorates his bones, and likely shortens his lifespan by a lot, but he stays. He had the option to leave safely years prior, but he chooses to stay. Even after finding out that humanity survived and Sol has returned to full luminance, he still isn't sure about leaving. Maybe he will one day, but not right now. Because he has people he cares about, and Erid may not be where he's from, but he sure as hell made it his home.
I'm going to sob again. If they change this ending in the movie, I'm going to STORM out of the theatre and never look back.
i know there's a whole lot of justified criticism surrounding the mere existence of the barbie movie as well as its actual plot. okay now that that's out of the way, the song what was i made for combined with barbie being a character who experiences one arc (among several) from complacency in what you're used to and being comfortable with ignorance, to actively choosing both joys and pains of the fullness of being human... yeah that got to me
look there r critiques to be made abt the characterization of movie!Faramir but he’s actually so important to me. the fact he Is tempted and that his temptation mirrors Boromir’s in that they’re both centered around love means so much to me, actually
still thinking about life with luca (my beloved). have we as a society considered the ramifications of casey having a child who has derek-ish traits and derek having a child who has casey-ish traits?
yes, it is entirely possible based on show canon that the writers don’t believe that type B girls can exist and type A boys are an extinct species.
but ofc the most cursed and hence best answer is that casey had a kid with someone who is like derek. and derek had a kid with someone who is like casey.
@cornfleaykes new art and @kikilovessabito octomer Enmu headcanons have me THIS CLOSE to just...........writing the little mermaid with sea witch Enmu and princess reader.........a little bit of build up plot wise, the wedding, Enmu stealing you from the ship and fucking you as you fail to breathe underwater, the transformation still minutes away, telling you that human could never love you, not like he does, that human could never fuck you, not like he can.........
Throughout the film, they all four are being defined by these four colour: Aramis - black, Porthos - red, Athos - green, d'Artagnan - blue. The conflict relies on the disparity between them; whenever they are not working together (as the whole group of four; the movie would have us believe they were all the closest of friends), they are shown in distinguished, different colours (even at the masked ball, each of them is defined by a single one, different from the rest). There is the obvious symbolism (red - passion, green - bucolic, black - secretiveness, blue - prudence), but what is more interesting is how do they all relate to the colour of the uniforms? D'Artagnan is wearing the blue of the new ones, his everyday coat looks almost exactly like his uniform and is an exact match of the shade. But it is not until the all wear the black of the old uniforms they are truly united again (what is very interesting is how no one told d'Artagnan they would be wearing them, yet he showed up all cald in black). And who was wearing black the whole time?...
Aramis is not only the true "glue" of the group in this movie, but the only one who kept true to their pasts. In this essay I will
The thing about the last “Camelot” revival is that they made so many changes, it begs the question why they just didn’t write a whole new show from scratch. You have to remember “Camelot” isn’t just based off Arthurian more it’s an adaptation of T.H. White’s “The Once & Future King” a doorstop per of a novel (it’s actually 4 different books published as one volume” that is billed as “the world’s greatest fantasy classic”. And it’s only 1 of 2 adaptations - the other being Disney’s “The Sword in the Stone”. So I can totally understand why critics and fans didn’t enjoy it at all.
I'll be honest I don't really think the changes are THAT major, like structurally it's hitting a lot of similar beats especially since they had to keep the same song story beats. Especially when you consider the show before Sorkin and Sher ever got involved at all was a constantly evolving beast (to me there's a world of difference between the movie Camelot and the 2008 Lincoln Center production that leaned more into the goofy camp aspects. Hello Morgan Le Fay who loves chocolate lol!) I've seen people argue that maybe they should have never tried to change the show with a new creative team, and while I've certainly turned the argument over in my head, I think I ultimately land on, Lerner and Lowe kept reworking it in their life time, I actually think it's kind of in the spirit of the show to keep working on it. It's actually one of my favourite things about this show, that no two versions are alike! Even when a change isn't my cup of tea I really like seeing where they take this material. I think that's what makes theater special, that you can have stuff like this where the work is never done. (Like Hadestown or Chess!) I don't think there is a "definitive version of Camelot the musical".
But with that being said, different versions means it'll cater to different tastes, I do understand that the new script has a distinctly modern, sarcastic, veryyy quippy, voice to it that is not like the original writer's style (and yeah you feel it when the original work IS included) (honestly I don't even like when they throw in jokes in the vein of "stop singing that stupid song" like it's a golden age musical. Plz.) Not to mention I think the new script mines slightly different themes out of the show and if someone doesn't like it I can't say I blame them 🤷🏻♀️ look I'm a Hadestown NYTW version truther so I can understand the plz don't touch my baby mindset haha

||. one whole "today years old" post!ragnarok and hela's reveal. Except, even then, according to the movie, not really because Thor is still in heavy denial about all of it where Odin is concerned. I've spoken a bit (here) about how Thor adores his family; he idolizes them and views them through blinding rose-colored glasses, (especially when they're deceased) and that is especially true of his circumstances.
So, very often times when the truth clashes with the rose-colored view of them (namely: his father), Thor does one of two things: find a way to justify the words or action with the surrounding context of the time to make it make sense (e.g., well he scolded me harshly because i was talking back), or avoid it altogether. (this is his go-to. no talking about it; thor would rather not right now, so he does not.)
Key example being: he would rather focus on how his father changed his ways, and the Odin that he knew and grew up with was a man who had turned away from pursuing war for war's sake, and was instead one who valued peace and life. He would rather focus on that aspect of Odin, and take in the broader picture of Odin's life. REGARDLESS of the fact that what Thor is deeply, personally affected - not with the realization that Odin changed his ways once upon a time - but by the fact that he lied to him, manipulated him, and controlled and shaped every aspect of his being, for Thor's whole life, JUST to avoid another Hela. Someone who Thor is not, could not be farther from, and never knew about, because Odin (apparently) kept the matter of his true first-born a closely-guarded secret and seemingly would have continued to were it not for Odin's death, Hela's escape, and Ragnarok all coinciding at the same moment in time.
And this, all because Thor rationalizes it as "well, I wouldn't want to be remembered and judged based on the person that I used to be. I should extend that same kindness to my father, because he too, changed." (x10 because now Odin is dead. And it's in poor-taste to speak ill of a dead man.)
The problem namely being: Thor only talks about things when Thor decides it's time to talk about things ; when he is ready. ...but as this is a topic that ripple effects down to Thor's core, good luck getting him to open up about it, even just with himself.
Okay, so, I was just casually scrolling through Tiktok when I remembered that there had been a french movie called "Der Fuchs und das Mädchen" (The fox and the girl) and of course my brain decided to make it xiyao.
But very tragic bad end xiyao. Maybe JGY reincarnating as a fox and finding LXC in his house in the CR where he is in seclusion.
Just the whole movie, but with LXC as the girl and JGY as the fox...
And maybe JGY can turn into a human at some point, but he gets discovered and LXC can't rescue him in time.
