There are probably one hundred moments in the new Camelot that I'm sad I will never get to see again and lots of people won't get to see at all because it's so funny and dramatic and the cast is amazing. And specifically there is so much peak romance and tragedy in Arthur and Guenevere's final scene. But the thing that will live in my head forever and ever, that according to my friend made me shake so hard with laughter that she could feel it next to me is this exchange (butchered by my bad memory, sorry Mr. Sorkin):

Arthur: Merlyn never taught me how to handle a woman.

Guenevere: You mean you haven't read the book?

Arthur (with the most excitement he has expressed for literally anything besides a bird and maybe to Merlyn about Genny after they first meet): There's a book? (And then like every gullible kid who looked up at the ceiling and then got taunted with made you look) No I can see on your face there's not. But maybe in France, no I can still see there's no book.

Like honestly king of romance. That moment, telling your wife you see her as a business partner, telling her you love her for what it's worth because you thought she might want to know but you aren't sure right before you go to war over her... banger after banger.

what happened tonight with the wjw?

I'm too lazy to go back to watch the recording and annoy myself all over again lmao but essentially Kristian noticed someone in the chat say they had a question but they dare not ask, and said that normally he doesn't take questions from the chat but he was desperate to know what that question was. So people started tagging the person to get their attention and they came back with this SUPER appropriate and not at all embarrassing question.

Thankfully Kristian either didn't see the actual question, or ignored it, but yeah. Obnoxious as hell.

played pmd:eos and lets be so for real. no one including myself is surprised at who i formed an attachment to.

I was reading some aspiring authors personal excerpt about how furious she is with the pervasiveness of misogyny in society & mens refusal to take it seriously, & it resonated so I was considering giving her book a try for a minute but then I get to the end of the post and the fucking tags are like "reminder that I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns so don't get weird in the replies"...I just can't deal with these people they're like a bad joke that came to life and gained (partial) sentience

finally saw priscilla today and while the aesthetics were absolutely gorgeous (a true sofia coppola film) the movie overall was just very.......bland. like i went in with a very basic understanding of the relationship (naive girl and much older manchild celebrity) and i pretty much left feeling like i didnt learn anything new. it was like we were only given a surface level interpretation of both elvis and priscilla......especially priscilla which was the most disappointing. and while the film wasnt bad it just wasnt that.....great? it was just meh in the way that it felt like it didnt have much to say. or was afraid to say anything significant at all

i finally got around to centaurworld's finale and holy fucking shit??? they can go that hard??

Lord of the Empty Isles

sci-fi/fantasy

set on a supposedly utopian planet recovering from a climate crisis, where bonds between people are able to be seen and manipulated (by some people)

follows a young man whose brother was cursed and killed by an infamous outlaw 5 years ago, and he’s finally able to curse him back - but it rebounds, as he’s somehow fatebound to the outlaw

to find a cure and save them both they have to team up, and he quickly finds out that the resources the outlaw is stealing go to the thousands of people neglected on prison planets, and he has to go against what he thought was right to help them

no romance, aroace MC, focus on platonic relationships

arc from netgalley, out june 6

you know it's bad when tumblr's being the more mature social media site when it comes to rancid takes on izzy's death

I've been reading this amazing fic recently called Warriors: Paw Steps in the Snow on ao3. It's a rabies plot and its so well written, I highly recommend people check it out!

It's got me thinking about what a rabies outbreak/rabies AU would be like in the Signs of the Moon universe. Maybe I'll post some ideas about it in the future, idk

Anyways, again, please go check out this story!!!

I will think I am being totally normal about the silly little disaster wizard made of pixels...

...then we'll get into a fight and someone will cast Hunters Mark on him and I'll have my Tav send her dire raven to gouge their eyes out instead of attacking the person who's right next to them on one HP.

...or he'll go down and, rather than wait and send the cleric - who is closer to him in the initiative order and has more spell slots and is therefore by every metric a way better pick, I'll send my Tav to go and pump one of her very few spell slots into him as a cure wounds. Only to have the enemy that she could have killed instead immediately hit him again and he's back bleeding at her feet.

...or there'll be an arcane turret firing energy blasts and, even though she has way more movement than him and has already lost half her HP, while he is still on full, I'll literally have her use herself as a half-elf shield and stand between him and the turret.

Totally normal about this silly little disaster wizard made of pixels who can't actually die because he's not real.

The China Syndrome (1979)

"I may be wrong, but I'd say you're lucky to be alive. For that matter, I think we might say the same for the rest of Southern California."

see the thing is the fnaf movie really wants me to root for mike and abby's relationship and care about them and sure i can play along. but my emotional investment in them is severely hampered by the fact that we never really see them... having fun together? the first scene of them interacting is them being annoyed/frustrated with one another, mike rolling his eyes at abby's talk of her "friends", abby resenting him for that. abby's teacher says abby loves mike, but besides the pictures she draws, we never really get to see that for ourselves. the one moment between them that made me go "aww" was when abby said she hated jane and mike said "it's funny how we finally agree on something" with tears in his eyes. other than that, they have their extremely hurried emotional moment during the climax that's not really given any time to breathe ("i love you too, mike, but we should probably go now" wasn't. really anything), and one or two bits where abby's having fun around mike, but not really with him. i really want to believe they're a sweet sibling duo who love each other, but the movie doesn't seem all that interested in establishing that.

Is cloud bisexual in canon? I dunno. Couldnt say for sure (im in Rebirth chapter 12 and Only discussing rebirth rn). I can definitely say he's Aware Andrea admires him, Super Aware Dio likes him and is flattered by it and up to flirt with that opportunity (wild choice cloud but okay).

And i certainly cant wait for clouds date with barret <3

gonna write a whole thing someday about how characters of color who clearly have a history of trauma or mental health issues aren’t given consideration or acknowledgement in the fandom imagination

i just finished watching maleficent. it was great

Telling myself I'm too busy moving to watch the new season. Don't think I'm ready
