Geralt suffering at the mages' banquet is the best thing I've ever seen.
Poor man just wants to drink and eat food but there's not enough food and it's kinda bad (mutations stripped him of the ability to blush but not of the cilantro-soap gene, I guess.)
And he has to wear uncomfortable clothes and Engage in Conversations with people. Yennefer telling him to stop messing with his hair and his doublet, and her just like straight up explaining social rules? Love it.
(Also he almost chokes when Yennefer says she loves him for the first time kjgjhj.)
Viserys and Rhaenyra regard Jason as a boring, impolitic and pompous person but they have to behave politely here. 😉 Besides, Viserys is mildly infuriated by Jason’s question about the queen. 😋
And that music played when Jason enters the room! It reminds me of “The Rains of Castamere”.
Lannisters and Targaryers are two my favourite houses in the Song of Ice and Fire universe.
On Saturday I hung out with my 84-year-old ecologist great uncle and he stopped in mid-conversation (abt the return of the whooping crane) and very seriously told me that "you can go one of two ways, as a naturalist"; either you keep sight of the hopeful possibilities, or you don't. I'm one of nature's wretched little pessimists but when an old ecologist literally holds your hands in his and tells you, "don't despair," you have to try, I feel.
The Ken dance is so magnificent because it’s reminiscent of the Golden Age of Musicals when there would just be artful dance sequences for no reason other than the director wanted to have one.
AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.
When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.
He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.
Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.
