Eddie posts a Tiktok where he’s clearly hiding behind a corner, filming Steve and Robin attempt to tie themselves back to back to chairs. They’re arguing with each other about it because it’s very hard to tight yourself up so Eddie clear his throat.
He asks when they look at him, “What is this, platonic BDSM?”
Steve: I’m proving a point. Help me?
Robin: I’m proving a point. We would’ve succeed if Steve hadn’t been concussed
Steve: The concussion wasn’t the problem. It’s that you have the coordination of a newly born giraffe. We wouldn’t have fallen over if you had any control over your limbs.
Robin: Lies and slander! You didn’t even know your left and right.
Steve: That’s diff-
Eddie: Whoa. Wait, what? What are you talking about? Succeeded at what?
Steve: It’s not about succeeding. It’s about avoiding, which we did not do.
Eddie: Huh?
Robin, helpfully: The bone saw
Eddie: WHAT?!????

In my opinion, the reason the reunion scene was skipped was because the author couldn’t figure out a way to write it non-romantically and gave up after a while
honestly. i kinda agree with you nonnie.
it just. the set up to the scene is sooooo romantic. you have lloyd being absolutely devastated at the thought he's not going to see any of his loved ones ever again and that he's been dropped back into his terrible life, to the place he admitted he'd rather die than go back to,,, and then someone knocks at the door and when he opens it this is the sight that greets him:
his best friend, the person he's closest to, the one he's spent years with, the one he promised a peaceful life at his side, the one he wanted to grow old with, the one he sacrificed everything for, the one he effectively gave his life to save, the one he thought he'd never see again, standing at his door, having crossed literal dimensional barriers to get to him, a soft and teary smile on his face as he tells him "i missed you"
like. c'mon.
i'm all for platonic interpretations, i'm aroace, i love me a good best friendship as much as the next guy, but,,,, isn't this,,, like,,, really fucking romantic??? extremely so??? am i??? reading too much into it?? because it feels really, really romantic to me.
and like you say. where do you go from there. what response could lloyd give that doesn't involve throwing himself at javier and clinging to him with all of his strength. what conversation could these two have that doesn't involve them seeing how truly devoted they are to each other. what resolution does their arc together have that isn't them spending the rest of their lives together, at each other's side, like they so dearly wanted to.
but. alas. that wasn't the story bk moon wanted to tell. and that's very much his right. i just think that if he didn't want me to assume there's no in-character and narratively satisfying version of that conversation that doesn't end with them kissing he should've at least tried to give us something. and not completely skipped it lol
but that's just my opinion too :]

My favorite part of the book Maurice that gets cut from the movie because they reorder the final two scenes is when Maurice has to stop himself from telling Clive he literally just finished having sex with Alec in the boathouse

im so glad empanada, even after a tough day, got to have that talk and hug with richas and then bagi where em got some lovely advice about dealing with grief from richas & talked about what went wrong during the day
but i can't help but contrast this with sunny. sunny who empanada still hasn't seen. sunny whose been alone for days. sunny whose talked with almost no one. sunny who doesn't know bad is dead. sunny whose pretending tubbo isn't dead. sunny who got no goodbye. sunny who got no long talks about grief. sunny who got no explanations. sunny who no one visited today. sunny whose birthday is tomorrow. sunny who no one will wake up for first tomorrow

thinking about how they had to age up comics Bucky to avoid the gay connotations
and despite villainizing him still had to pair him & Steve off with women while they’re sneaking off to meet each other
and had to give Steve a girlfriend to de-gay his reunion with openly-gay Arnie Roth...
And then MCU Steve is SO obsessed with Bucky that they had to give them beards every time they're alone together in public, and then had to cut down on their screen time together, keep them physically separated in frame, forbid one character from even mentioning the other, separate them in time, and kill one of them off.
And I'm just like
Guys.
You do realise that actually straight characters wouldn't need all this 'fixing', right??

whenever i read a fic and shanks doesn't mention buggy even once it always feels soo ooc bc like what do you mean shanks isn't vibrating with the need to see buggy at all times??? at the very least, shanks should be thinking about buggy passively, if not actively. like buggy lives that man's mind rent fucking free. buggy should be charging appearance fees for how often shanks thinks of him. like all it would take is one (1) denden call, where buggy shaky voiced goes "shanks... please... i need you" and shanks would be hauling ass across the grand line to get to buggy
