actually i've decided i'm obsessed with joe's what are you gonna do kill me line. marwan kenzari plays that one 100% seriously which is in line with how he does the rest of the scene (perfect btw 100/10 we've talked about that that's not the point here) and i tend to overlook it because of that but in retrospect funniest possible thing to say to the guys who have kidnapped you for your immortality. what ARE they gonna do. kill him?

also. i absolutely adored what lovm did with the pass through fire quote

but then it makes me emotional about the original context, so i have to share that too (minor plot spoilers ahead)

because it wasn't originally to do with the ashari at all. it was from patrick rothfuss' guest character, a blacksmith named kerrek, who helped vox machina fight against the dragon in westruun, and helped keyleth personally through some difficult stuff (he may yet appear on lovm, but given the context of the quote now i doubt we'll get all of it)

and a little after kerrek's episode, patrick rothfuss actually made a legit letter from kerrek to keyleth, with a present inside, and left it with matt until whatever point in the plot she was able to recieve it

which by coincidence was one of the hardest moments in the whole campaign for her

and this letter had marisha legit crying in the episode, because it's just. so beautiful, and so needed. and it goes:

Keyleth,

I write to let you and your companions know that the repair of Westruun is proceeding well. I will not bore you with the details. Suffice to say that our children are well-fed and safe, our elderly and infirm are cared for and comfortable. Without the help of you and yours, this would not be the case.

The folk in charge argue constantly, but that is to be expected, and it is no bad thing. They all want the same good things in different ways. I listen, mostly, and do what I can to make sure that they listen to each other. Without listening, nothing good can happen.

The town... when I say the repair is going well, it is a hard thing for me to talk about. I am not a particularly clever man, and much of this is new to me. When you make a mistake with metal, you can melt things down and start afresh. It is irritating, and it costs in time and soot and sweat, but it can be done. There is a comfort in iron, knowing that a fresh start is always possible. But a city is not a sword. It is a living thing, and living things defy simple fixing. Roots cannot be reforged. They scar, and broken branches must be cut and sealed with tar, and this makes me angry, as it always has, and my anger has no place to go.

It was easier when I was young. I could use my anger like a hammer against the world. I was so sure of myself and my friends and my rightness. I would hammer at the world, and breaking felt like making to me, and I was good at it. And while I was not wrong, neither was I entirely right. Nothing is simple.

I do not work in wood. I am not brave enough for that. There is a comfort in iron, a promise of safety, a second chance if mistakes are made. But a city is more a forest than a sword. No, it needs more tending than that.

Perhaps a city is like a garden, then. So these days, it seems I have become a gardener. I dig foundations in the earth. I sow rows of houses. I plan and plant. I watch the skies for rain and ruin. I cannot help but think that you would be better at this, but circumstance has put both of us in our own odd place. You are forced to be a hammer in the world, and my ungentle hands are learning how to tend a plot of land. We must do what we can do.

Did you know that there are some seeds that cannot sprout unless they are first burned? A friend once told me that. She was... she was a bookish sort. I think of gardening constantly these days. I wear your gift, and I think of you, and I think it is interesting that there are some living things that need to pass through fire before they flourish.

I ramble. You have the heart of a gardener, and because of this, you think of consequence, and your current path pains you. I am not wise, and I do not give advice, but I have come to know a few things: sometimes breaking is making. Even iron can start again. And there are many things that move through fire and find themselves much better for it afterward.

I have enclosed a gift. Once it was a sword, but it has changed. It is a small thing, and silly. Please forgive an old man for his foolishness. Still, I hope it brings you some small comfort.

Kindly, Kerr.

and the present inside the envelope? a ring, engraved with the phrase "I have passed through fire."

— I thought about how you would feel, so I didn't dare say anything.

— Shutting me out like this doesn't make me feel better.

god damn so Big really just. loved a person so much he’d be willing to die to protect him. took a bullet for him. was replaced because of this sacrifice (???), hated the new person who he was replaced by and whom his person loved instead. but then still loved that person enough to die protecting the new person. and im just supposed to....what? move on?? months later???

I realize that probably no one knows this about me but when I put "sir" in the tags of a kpop guy photo/gifset, I'm not joking about submissive and breedable-isms I mean sir like. "sir. customer. you can't do that here. sir this is an old spaghetti factory."

no one has ever been in love in quite the way kim wexler and jimmy mcgill are in love

you’re cruelest with the people you’re closest to, you say shit you don’t mean because you think they’ll understand what you really mean or you think you can get away with it, dean tells cas he’s dead to him and why does that something always seem to be you? and then cas is walking away and no--no that’s not how this is supposed to happen. dean gets angry and says shit he doesn’t mean and cas is supposed to read through it, he’s supposed to get it. dean pushes and pushes him away and then asks where are you going? because the whole point is that he’s screaming for him to stay. he’s pushing and being awful to see if it’ll happen, if cas’ll really leave this time, but it’s not what he really wants it’s a desperate plea it’s please see through my bullshit and please call me out and please knock some sense into me and please make me say it ! make me ask ! make me ask you to stay ! and cas turns his back and that’s cas asking him, that’s cas begging please stop me before i walk up those stairs, please ask me to stay but dean sees it as rejection, as i’m leaving and this is it and you don’t get a say. they are miscommunicating for 12 years straight   

i hate the way mike says i'm going to fix this to el when she's in the cop car after getting arrested literally how are you going to fix this

i always get majorly bummed out when I take notice that the op of a post is now deactivated as I look thru a fandom tag. ppl are allowed to do whatever they want ofc it's literally not my business but like Man🐴

unfortunately i don’t think i have ever felt so passionately defensive about a character as i am about regina. sometimes i’ll read something that is so wrong and incorrect, sometimes even from someone who likes regina, and i will turn into this thing

i think it’s actually time for tumblr to remove the like button

did you know i love final fantasy so goddamn much (specifically xiv, xv, and xvi rn)

love seeing that she-hulk did a meta fourth-wall breaking episode because it really just confirms my decision to not watch it and have zero interest in it. sorry tatiana maslany, even your natural charisma cannot get me over the inherent annoyance of watching marvel try to make tongue-in-cheek comments on itself. 

hey so....what if...what if i made a oc just to smooch hanako.........
