Oh yay a new queen with kits let me just check out her informatioFOURTEEN MOONS?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

"Look, I don't need anything bank-breaking," she said, and toed another to rootle through his pockets. Mentats. Rad-X. A picture of a pin up whose cleavage had been scratched away for whatever reason. That, she pocketed. She was fond of pretty girls, however imaginary or long-lost to the wastes that they were.

"Think fast," she said, and tossed a portion of the chems to him. Fuck knows, maybe the ghoul had a better use for them than she did. "Just a few comfort items. I'm in dire need of some leather, and maybe a pack of snack cakes. I've more than enough coin to cover it and something nice for yourself. Even if they hike up the prices."

Cooper gives a soft hum, finding it more than easy to believe that she scares folks off. Ghouls like himself, depending on the town, do that plenty themselves and she is…something else. What? He doesn’t know nor does he deem it prudent to ask. It doesn’t matter to him in the end.

“Well, I can’t promise I’d be much better off than you, dependin’, but if you got somethin’ you need, I’ll lend a hand. As a thanks for…this,” he replies, gesturing to the many bodies littered about. He’s not always feeing so generous but with his sights on a new goal, he won’t take assistance for granted.

One of my favorite things about Psych is how when they establish a character fact, they stick with it.

Have I at all heard that Gus did tap before the Episode Where He Does Tap? No! But it's brought up/he does tap in several episodes afterwards!!! (Tap-Man and the Seabirds comes to mind)

Did Juliet have a brother before Ewan "JOOOOOHN CEEEEENAAAAA" O'Hara appeared? Not really, although they DID say she had a large (at least extended) family. And they bring him up afterwards!! (Obviously the Bourne episode but also her dad mentions her "and the boys" growing up with Lloyd)

Did Shawn know what Phineas and Ferb was before it was referenced?? Who knows!! But now he's watching their marathons!!

And like!! We love that!! I can't super think of any other examples but there's something so refreshing and comforting to have details that for any other show would've been one-offs never to be brought up again instead become a more nuanced part of the character as a whole!!!

like idk it just seems actually nefarious to take one of the very few widely known instances of queerness in older history being a symbol to show queer people that we've always existed and aren't alone for CENTURIES and taking away the queerness from it. like. i know some people say that ''the queerness isnt important in the book" which i mean in my opinion i could go off for 10k words in an essay as to how basil's love for dorian is integral to the story BUT EVEN APART from that its really just. having a real explicitly queer character in such an old and widely regarded classic novel is HUGE for queer history and this is just. literally like. its 2024. why are you doing queer erasure to DORIAN GRAY

[ cw: death mention / family death mention / ]

Mhmm I sure love thinking of the reality where we did get more time to really know Karai and her dynamics with the bros. Losing her hit hard in the finale, but it would’ve hit much, much harder had we known Karai longer and really saw her relationships develop with everyone.

I especially would have been interested in her dynamic with Leo, as past iterations often have the two of them clash in ideals and the like while still sharing many characteristics. Two sides of the same coin, and all that. Her specifically being the bros’ Gram-Gram also adds a whole new dynamic as well.

Imagine how interesting it would be, to have Karai start off on Leo’s side for once, showing wholly just how alike the two are at their cores and bonding as family without the worry of betrayal or animosity that other iterations suffer through, only to have Karai die anyway. Their parting hug and the desperate look of horror Leo wears later on would have hit that much harder, I feel.

The Batman gets locked up in walkers prison! 😲

Walker left the zone to arrest him too why? Because clearly he is neglecting the child king! Smh. 😔 Walker greatly respects the rules but now that King Phantom is in place he respects something more. This child has brought order back to the zone (not really he kinda just wrote off some rules for Walker to enforce to get him out of his hair) and even after Walker imprisoned him too! So now hes back to his old ways of bending the rules to fit his whims. But this weird Bat Man person is deserving of a harsh punishment, that or a good thrashin’, for how hes done gone and treated their new King! Can’t the man tell the boy has a familial bond with ‘em? For cryin out loud the youngin already gave em core charm! No all the others can clearly see plain as day that hes apart of the boys family. (Danny made Batman an ice ward that helps protect from other ghosts… or so he thought oops it’s telling all the other ghosts that hes Danny fam)

Yet despite all this the man still is refusing to bring the kid into his fold. You don’t just go on and do that to a young one. Their King is only a baby and now this man has gone and ignored him like hes plans to go out to get some milk and never come back. Can’t he see how this is affecting his development? Walker wont have anyone doin that to his ghost King No Sir. Hes gonna education this man himself if he has to. Rehabilitation is something he can do. It’s within his jurisdiction after all.

Watching House, you just have to accept that sometimes the writers will make him act gross and slightly out of character.

1; because of the times, and 2; likely because the writers have their own weird fetish about it 🙄🙄

[sleepylink]

I feel like people who are fans of the Hero of Legend from the Legend Of Zelda should know this-

The Hero of Legend has forcefully been turned into a Baby before.

It is very cute and very scary mainly because this is the last dungeons mini boss in Oracle of Ages (if I remember correctly)

He is very small and very cute

Picture for you

Been seeing a lot of discussion on the Varric Problem again so here is my Neve/Lace discussion about it after they meet with the First Warden

“Neve,” Lace said, walking into the detective’s room. “I need to talk to you. About Rook.”

She’d wanted to go talk to Rook about Antoine and Evka, to give her an alternative to the First Warden, like Dorian had suggested.

After filling Bellara in on the day’s events with Neve, she’d gone up to Rook’s room, to check if she was there, but it had been empty. So, she’d gone to the infirmary for some elfroot for her head, and found Rook there, talking aloud to the bed where they’d had Varric, where Bianca still lay, untouched.

Lace hadn’t heard what she was saying, and she’d simply assumed Rook was talking out loud to herself, using the crossbow as a sounding board. It was common enough. The amount of times Lace had talked herself through something out loud to one of her Embrium plants was, frankly, embarrassing.

But something had felt… off. And Rook had the same faraway look on her face she’d had during his funeral.

“Well,” Neve said, absently swatting at a wisp where it was hovering around her head. “That’s a coincidence.”

“Something feels… wrong,” she said, sitting down on what she supposed was Neve’s excuse for a cot. The mage stood up and walked around the table, leaning back against it and crossing her dwarven-made leg over the other, the picture of sophisticated grace.

“Did something happen?”

“I wanted to go talk to her about my Warden contacts,” Lace said. “Antoine and Evka, out in Hossberg. She wasn’t in her room, so I thought I’d go get some elfroot- “

She kept talking, stopping Neve from enquiring about her headaches. They were manageable, and getting better.

“- And she was… talking to Bianca. Varric’s crossbow.”

Neve frowned, her mouth pressing into a line.

“She could have just been talking out loud to herself,” Neve said. “I’m not ashamed to say I’ve had some very heated disagreements with my corkboard- “

“That’s what I thought too,” Lace said. “But then, I started thinking about it. She’s been… strange, ever since Varric died. And that dizzy spell she had today? In Dock Town?”

Neve hesitated.

It had been a long day. Venatori, darkspawn, the Shadows. Lace knew some of what had happened between Rook and Dorian, enough to know it was a sore spot. It had been an even longer day for Rook and Neve, but Rook had had worse. Lace knew Rook had had worse.

“Have you noticed anything else?” she finally asked. “The timing? What exactly happens?”

Lace frowned. She thought back, to Varric’s funeral, the vacant look in Rook’s eyes. When she’d tried to talk to her afterwards. Rook had forgotten to report it to Leliana, too, which was…

“It’s always about Varric,” she said slowly. “Even today, it happened after I told her I’d contacted the First Warden. She must have been thinking about… “

Neve nodded when Lace looked at her.

“I’ve had suspicions,” she said. “Mostly confirmed today when we were out in Minrathous.”

She paused again, looking as though she was weighing how much to say.

“I think it’s Solas.”

Lace blinked. Solas?

“But Rook said he couldn’t hurt her,” Lace said. “Their connection was only enough for him to talk to her. Sometimes.”

“Solas is an ancient elven trickster god,” Neve said. “I don’t think we should necessarily take him at his word.”

“I trust Rook, though,” Lace said.

“And if she doesn’t know?”

“So, what?” Lace stood up, agitated. “You think he’s manipulating her into thinking…?”

“Forgetting about Varric?” Neve said, also starting to pace. “Not caring about Varric? I don’t know, Lace, and there’s no way to find out.”

“So, what do we do?” Lace asked. Maker, she was in over her head here. Before any of this, the closest she’d ever come to magic was watching other people do it.

Neve stopped pacing, then stared out of the window for a long time. Wisps swarmed around her head, but she was so deep in thought she seemed not to see them, even.

“I don’t think we can do anything,” Neve said quietly.

“What?” Lace gaped at her. “Neve! He’s using blood magic on her! We can’t just- “

“I don’t know what else to do, Lace,” Neve said. “The only way I can see to stop him from doing anything is to kill him, which we can’t do. Partly because he’s trapped in the Fade, and partly because Rook’s right. We need him.”

She turned back to Lace, who was still reeling.

“Has she been acting differently?” Neve asked. “Besides Varric, I mean. You knew her the longest.”

Lace pushed aside her indignance and thought about it. Had Rook been acting differently?

“No,” she said slowly. “No, she’s still Rook. Exactly the same, just… weird wherever Varric is concerned.”

Neve nodded, as if she’d been expecting that answer.

“But why would Solas do that, Neve?” Lace asked. “What’s the point?”

“To keep her focused?” Neve shrugged. “To keep her from thinking about anything other than the gods? He wants us to end them as much as we do, doesn’t he?”

“I suppose… “

“Look,” Neve said. “I think Rook is the best person for the job Varric wanted her to do, Solas in her head or no, and I’ve only known her for a few days. I’m sure the others will agree. And maybe it’s not such a bad thing, not having to think about…”

She trailed off, and Lace felt the now-familiar sting of loss.

Maybe it wasn’t so bad if Rook didn’t have to feel that.

“What about the others?” Lace asked. “Bellara, Lucanis?”

“They’ve both lost people,” Neve said, not unkindly. “I’m sure if we mention she’s taking it hard, they’ll be careful about it.”

“We should keep an eye on her, though,” Lace said. “If she changes, or- “

“I don’t think Solas has enough of a connection to do more than he’s doing,” Neve said thoughtfully. “Personally, I try to stay away from blood magic, but from what I know, the fact that he’s able to do even that much is incredible.”

“Right,” Lace said flatly. “He’s super good at blood magic.”

Neve grinned slightly.

“What?” she asked slyly. “Don’t tell me you don’t appreciate the grift.”

Say what you will about the Looney Tunes Show, but you have to admit (or maybe you don't) that its incarnation of Lola is superior to her Space Jam one.

THIS IS TRUE! Lola is one of the things i like about TLTS and do think they did well with. likewise with turning Gossamer into a kid, i always get whiplash when i remember he's just a regular ol' monster LOL. Lola barely registers as a character to me tbh/i don't really consider her or Tina a LT character, so maybe that's why i enjoy them... kinda... in the show

[oceanwithouthermoon]

maybe its just me but i cant stand when people are like "it just doesn't sit right with me how teruhashi thought about aiura 🥺" like yes... its not supposed to ??? because her thinking badly of other girls and prioritizing male validation over everything is one of her main flaws ??? can we talk about that WITHOUT making it seem like shes not allowed to have a single actual flaw without suddenly becoming an awful person? nobody can handle complex female characters at all and its so fucking annoying

[aropride]

allegedly i hyperfixate on Media frequently but tbh i often am also fixated on the way the media portrays (or pointedly doesn't portray, or implies, or contains metaphors about, or characters with classic symptoms of) sexual trauma I'm just shy so i don't talk about it but it's my second secret fixation
