“Die Hard” is an everything movie. It’s everything you want in a movie, it’s got comedy, action, drama, Reginald VelJohnson, what is there not to love? It’s a perfect movie.

Ignore the sequels after 3, though. Those ain’t great.

Summary: Hal should be able to crack open these doors like snapping peanuts, go straight to the heart of this rotten world and find the political apparatuses that make it possible. It stinks of corruption. It should be impossible for it to have gone unnoticed. 

When the people with the power make the laws, rings Ollie’s voice in his ears, and Hal shouts, “Shut up, this is not the law,” to the empty cell. Outside, the crowd screams again. 

Hal is going to get his ring back. He’s going to figure this out, he’s going to get Ollie and Dinah away, and then he’s going to find the heart of the corruption and burn this whole fucking thing down. He swears it. 

(Or, it turns out that most of being a gladiator is sitting around in your prison cell with your two stupidly-in-love best friends and nothing to do but all the personal introspection you’ve been avoiding for most of your life.)

-------------------------------------------------------

Just Dinah/Ollie/Hal dragging me out of my decade-long fannish hibernation. I was feeling self-indulgent and decided to splash in the waters of a new fandom with a little good old fashioned forced-to-fight-as-gladiators h/c, for my own personal enjoyment, never to leave my hard drive. Then Ollie and Dinah ate me alive and Hal had all the feelings and this somehow turned into 25k (+? still working on the ending) words while still managing to be mostly just the three of them sitting around in their cell talking. I’m not sure how this happened either. 

Guess who made another Cookie Run Au thanks to a costume?

(This looks so plain. ;-;)

Anyways costume story time:

If you don't understand it, basically Longan's husband (Pure Vanilla) died in a accident. And due to the fact that Longan bonded so close with PV, even to the point of getting married, they feel like if they ever get to attach to anyone they'll lose them too. So eventually, they said "fuck the dragon life" and found an old theatre to rest. (Rest meaning in this case, basically live there. They also decided to keep a Vanilla Orchid with them to hold onto something of their late husband, even if it's same. (Also you know how it's said that the Pokemon Yamask cry if they look at their mask? Well replace Yamask with Longan and mask with flower.) And if you're wondering why Longan is wearing these clothes, due to the abandoned theatre being close near a small city, I felt like Longan should wear more "modern" clothes incase I ever decide to put a random cookie from said small city into the story.

Also this costume au is heavily inspired by this song right here ����

And yes I will make this into sprites.

Since I’m starting to post Mario stuff might as well scream about how exciting that last Nintendo Direct was (spoilers under the cut)

- SUPER MARIO RPG IS GETTING REMASTERED !!!! I ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO PLAY THAT GAME !!! Also the Chibi artstyle is adorable ! Also also I love how Mario and Peach are clearly Chibi with bigger heads while Bowser has normal proportions. Also also also, to all the Geno fans out there, how are you guys feeling ?

- NEW PRINCESS PEACH GAME !!! AND THEY’RE IGNORING HER BUTCHERED MOVIE VERSION AND INSTEAD ARE KEEPING HER AS SWEET AND SOFT AND FIGHTING WITH MAGIC, HELL YEAH !!! Also I like how it doesn’t seem to be a platformer but instead a more adventure type of game, I like the diversity ! Plus it’s fitting for Peach.

(And also I have this headcanon that Peach has magic but doesn’t know how to use it, at least not without help (Starlow “triggering it for her” in Mario and Luigi for example) and considering the thing helping her use magic in this game seems sentient, the headcanon still stands ! And yes the reason for this headcanon is to justify Peach never using it outside of the RPGs + there’s angst potential, especially when taking into account how often villains use her for her powers)

- Also they joke about having a game for each main characters, with one Mario game, one Luigi game and one Peach game. Where's our Bowser game, Nintendo ? He's a main character too, when is his time under the spotlight ? /hj

- NEW WARIO WARE GAME HOLY SHIT AND IT’S SIMILAR TO SMOOTH MOOVES, ARGUABLY THE BEST OF THE SERIES !!!!!

- NEW SUPER MARIO BROS THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A BRAND NEW GAME INSTEAD OF BEING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN !!! AND THE ARTSTYLE IS FANTASTIC !!! AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY AS DAISY HOLY SHIT !!!! Although I feel like this game will fuel even more “Mario takes drugs” jokes because…I mean come on, there’s no beating the drug allegations on this one. Also I’m low-key curious as to what Bowser’s plan is here since 1. Peach is playable so he didn’t capture her and 2. That one small moment with what appeared to be Junior with a strange mask ? (that character had Junior’s proportions, a spiked shell and bracelets without spikes) Are Bowser and his army brainwashed in this game maybe ? And now that I think about it doesn’t his ship have purple eyes or something, implying they're brainwashed ? Also is Yoshi going to be the new “easy mode” character since he can flutter and carry others ? That could also explain why four players can all be him

- Not the biggest when it comes to battle royal games but that one rhythm game seems wacky as all hell

- While not games I own or is that big of a fan of, feel happy for Luigi Mansion fans, Mario Kart fans who finally got Kamek into the rooster + Petey Piranha as many hoped (though I hope Wiggler being here won’t prevent other wanted characters in…), Pikmin fans who got a brand-new game, same for Sonic (I might actually get this one, seems pretty fun), and also happy for those who wanted more out of Mario + Rabbids.

- On a more negative note, GAME FREAK WILL YOU PLEASE LET YOUR TEAM GET SOME GODDAMN DESERVED REST ?!!! We can live a few years without a new Pokemon game, the world isn’t going to explode ! Hell look at Mario ! We haven’t had a new Mario Bros game in years (not counting the U remake) and look how amazing the new game looks ! Stop overworking your poor team, your fans aren’t going anywhere, they can wait !

Overall, the one I’m most excited for this year is Wario Ware while the most exciting overall is the Peach game. I don’t know if this is because she’s always been my favorite as a kid or because I’m still salty about how much positive reception her movie version got, but seeing Nintendo portray Peach as a magical girl makes me unbelievably happy (or relieved I guess ? One big fear I had about the movie was said movie causing Peach’s character to be completely revamped; so it’s good that at least Nintendo aren’t doing it. And it proves that this whole “Movie Peach is how I always viewed her” from Miyamoto was indeed marketing bullshit).

But seriously, I can already tell Super Mario RPG and Wario Ware are gonna take over my life. Also this song has been stuck in my head for hours now, help

ok this is going to be the most random thing ever and i fully acknowledge it but i am watching Marry Me and those mathlete kids who were harassing the main kid while she was competing would’ve absolutely been dq’d. like i will accept that this is fiction but there is no way a national math competition would’ve allowed for distraction/foul play from the opposing team and then given them the title. i object.

"oh the caribbean is so exotic" people are like so amazing to me because today is the second time in my life ive seen snow and Y'ALL COMPLAIN???? IT'S SO PRETTY I LOVE SNOW

i open tumblr to get my daily 2am smut fix, and i get hit with not one, not two, not three—but SEVEN F!READER JJBA SMUT FICS IN A ROW.

i'm this close 🤏 to going through my villain arc again.

Headcanon Asks

Welp, I had a good run, but one visit to my COVID positive mom finally did me in, despite both of us being double-masked with KN95′s.  I’m not gonna be able to work for a bit, so, given that I have to quarantine, I have a lot more time on my hands for asks.  So, anyone interested in hearing headcanons to characters I’m familiar with or any other kink asks, send away!

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.
