The best thing about the new release is getting to talk to @shadowisles-writes about it - she converted me to Taylor Swiftism last year and even though we no longer live in the same city it’s bringing me back to sitting on her couch and listening to music together 🥹🥹

to me best part of top gun maverick deciding to make this pic a canon class photo thing is the possibility of everyone snickering and forcing maverick’s ass to stand beside iceman for the photo because they knew that boy had the biggest crush on ice and ice was at that time still oblivious to it. that would explain why maverick was SCOWLING in the photo when ice himself and the rest of the boys looked pretty relaxed

Headcanon series #14

Bradley and Jake get married.

Pete and Tom get to walk their little Gosling down the aisle and spend the rest of the day bickering about who cried more during the ceremony.

When Jake and Bradley have their first dance as spouses, Pete and Tom are standing among the other guests at the edge of the dance floor and Pete looks up to his husband and whispers "I forgave myself today. For Hop 31. I'll certainly never forget it, but I don't feel like it was my fault any longer, you know? It stopped haunting me. It doesn't feel anymore like I killed him.

Of course I wish they were here in person to witness their boy getting married, but we got to. We got to see him grow up and become our son instead. We had the chance to build a family and we did just that. And because of all that, because of this, because of everything that happend, Bradley is standing here today with, what I'm pretty sure is the love of his life. We were able to give him that, which is everything I ever wanted. To make things right. And I think I did that. We did that."

Tom tears up and embraces Pete in a firm hug and presses a kiss to his forehead before holding out his hand for Pete to take for the next dance.

In the end its Bradley who cries the most because Tom later tells him the short version of what Pete said and Bradley makes sure to hug Pete extra tight before he and Jake get off to their honeymoon.

NEW F/O!!!!! GRAAAGAGAGSGGH!!!!

So I recently got into 31 Minutos and noticed one character in particular. At first, Policarpo simply looked like an ordinary character until I realized I was thinking about him more and more. Admittedly, this was also how I fell in love with Rayman. I wonder if my love for Policarpo will overwhelm my love for Rayman •3• interestinggggg…

Anyways guys look at my pololoooo 💖💖💖

Gathering of the Greatest Gumshoes - Number 19

Welcome to A Gathering of the Greatest Gumshoes! During this month-long event, I’ll be counting my Top 31 Favorite Fictional Detectives, from movies, television, literature, video games, and more!

SLEUTH-OF-THE-DAY’S QUOTE: “Everyone has thought about killing someone, one way or another.”

Number 19 is…Will Graham, from Hannibal.

Before I get into the sort of nitty-gritty things with this character, I need to clarify something: I’m referring here SPECIFICALLY to the version from the TV series “Hannibal," played by Hugh Dancy. This, of course, is not the only version. Will Graham, of course, started off in the book “Red Dragon” by Thomas Harris…but I have read none of Harris’ novels, so I can’t really comment on his literary origins. In films, there have been two versions of Will, both taken from screen adaptations of the same book. The first was “Manhunter,” which starred William Petersen (a.k.a. Gil Grissom from CSI, who appeared earlier in the countdown). The second was “Red Dragon,” a sequel to the much-lauded “Silence of the Lambs,” which had Edward Norton as the character.

I have nothing against Norton or Petersen as actors, and neither of their portrayals of Will Graham are really all that bad. However, in both cases, they feel a bit too similar to other characters I’ve seen in other movies. They’re not invalid approaches, but they don’t feel like they stand out a lot when compared to various other detective figures, at least in my opinion. Dancy’s Graham is a whole different story. Not only does Dancy benefit from the series being able to do more than either film could accomplish, on account of being longer, but I feel it does a great job expanding on concepts present in those earlier versions (and, I presume, in the book), and creates a much more unique and fascinating character overall.

In “Hannibal,” Will starts off as a forensics instructor at the FBI academy. He has abandoned field work due to depression and stress, both of which are caused by his signature ability as a detective: Graham has what is termed as “pure empathy,” which allows him to almost literally see a crime through a killer’s eyes. He’s able to not only put the pieces together, as any great detective does, but he can actually FEEL the way the killer felt during the course of any crime. He can understand their motives and their emotional standpoints in a way nobody else seemingly can. While this ability does allow Will an advantage in solving cases, it’s just as much a curse as a blessing: some crimes you can understand on a basic, sympathetic level, sure, but Will has the strange ability to empathize with even the most depraved and disgusting human beings. Somewhere deep down, he feels he’s just as rotten as any murderer, and so his skills are also something he struggles to contain.

In the show, Graham befriends the titular character and villain protagonist of the series, Hannibal Lecter (played by Mads Mikkelsen). Lecter is a twisted psychiatrist who is secretly a criminal mastermind, as well as a serial killer: a cannibalistic psychopath who enjoys turning his victims into gourmet meals. Lecter forms a strange bond with Graham, and tries to push him into embracing his dark side and becoming a villain himself. The series focuses on the unusual ups and downs of the pair’s warped and highly peculiar relationship, as they alternate from hating each other as much as any person can hate anyone, to having ties so close to each other it borders on the romantic. This is somewhat like our previous pick, L from Death Note; Graham has the advantage of getting to stay through the entire story.

I love seeing the journey Will goes on in the show, and I feel this version tapped into something different that earlier screen versions didn’t quite recognize. The relationship between the two main characters is what really makes this show work, beyond anything else. Ultimately, the main reason Will from “Hannibal” doesn’t rank higher is also the same as our previous pick: he’s the main detective, and a major part of the story, but he’s not actually the protagonist. The rest of our options to come are.

Tomorrow, the countdown reaches the halfway point, with Number 18!

CLUE: "You don't have to trust me, as long as you can persuade me to trust you."
