I know Gandalf never said what the names of the Blue Wizards were in that one part of AUJ because they only had the rights to use information from the Hobbit and LOTR, but I think it's much funnier to imagine that Gandalf DID actually forget and really just didn't know their names

one of my big cultural gaps is disney but i started typing out a beauty and the beast inspired thing anyway thinking well maybe if i dont know the story in its most popular form at least i might come up with something a wee bit different from other people doing it and then mine has a plot device a somewhat inaccurate painting as the basis on an agreement to marry and only now did i think 'fuck i've made him anne of cleves'*

*i mean in a pop culture sense. i do tend to agree that the holbein painting can't be that inaccurate and she probably actually did look like that (hot!) and i feel i should disclaimer this in the post itself not the tags because if i don't someone will object won't they

Brad Dourif as Hitch-hiker | Tales of the Unexpected (1984)

Shuri felt safe around Namor.

A year of her mom, her closest friends and family trying to get Shuri to open up about her grief was ineffective. However, after this King who everyone was afraid of, shared his life story, his history, his culture and his secrets with her she felt safe enough to share her complex feelings about her brother's death to him. Grief she had buried within for a year was laid bare, practically spilling her guts to him, in the face of Namor's own openness and vulnerability.

I think Shuri still longs for the connection she had with Namor even after everything that happened. She's more untethered than ever before and longs for the only person she ever felt that instant connection to but she can't go to him because it's not easy to forgive. So she goes to Haiti, the beach, as close to the water as she can and she cries.

RIP Michael Gambon (19.10.1940 - 28.9.2023)

"Paul Schofield said something like, 'If I'm not acting in a play, I don't really exist.' Those weren't the exact words, but he meant it's only when I'm acting in a play that I've got something to say about the world. And then why should I talk, when people can come to see it?"

"Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me."

Sabotage Studio is begging to make a visual novel. It's vastly clear the writer had a lot of thought to get out, spoken through the mouth of the Shopkeeper. Whether this much talking is something that works for a platformer, I haven't decided yet, but I'm not remotely surprised the next game after was an RPG, one with quite an extensive, encyclopedia level of worldbuilding attached to it.

"What kind of advice can I give [young performers]? Someone sent me a quote that persistence wins. I have to disagree with this. It is an important ingredient. I don't think that there are any rules. Be persistent, be talented, work hard, but ninety-five percent is luck - so be lucky!"
