"What the fuck did you mean, flattered?"

Jamie glances at Roy on the bike behind him. "What?"

"Look where you're fucking going," Roy snaps, and Jamie looks back ahead just in time to dodge someone wheeling a pram. "I said, what the fuck did you mean when you said you were flattered that everyone thought you were gay? Why is that flattering?"

Jamie is confused for a moment that he's bringing this up now, then remembers Roy wasn't in the room for that. Someone must have mentioned it to him. "Always wanted to be gay," he explains.

"Why?"

Jamie shrugs. "Better clothes. Better clubs. Way better hookup apps. Plus, men are dead sexy."

There is a very long silence. Jamie glances back again just to make sure Roy hasn't fallen off the bike.

"You think men are sexy," Roy says flatly. "As in, you would like to have sex with them?"

"Yeah," Jamie sighs. "I think about it all the time."

Another long silence, then: "Have you ever heard the word bisexual?"

"Oh yeah, that's people who get to bang both! The fucking dream, innit. Wish that were me."

The rope around Jamie's waist starts to jerk rhythmically. He looks back to find Roy banging his head against the handlebars of the bike. "I don't—even—get fucking—paid for this," he's mumbling, and that's all Jamie catches before he crashes full-on into a streetlamp.

THE WAY ANYA AND LIAM GOT JOEY GIGGLING AND KICKING HIS FEET OH WERE SO BACK

nothing more embarassing than when you develop personal beef with a piece of media thats entirely petty. like sorry no i cant talk about that show it. bit me.

My favorite leverage bit is when they have agreed on names for cons that they never explain but reference absolutely bonkers bits of. Like. “Yeah I was running a Blue Spiked Fish but then I lost the wig and had to turn it into a Seventh Taco on the fly.” “Where on earth did you get the firefighter uniform??” “Had one in the closet from running a Cicada job earlier that year.” Beautiful. Perfect. They could do this every episode.

the thing i feel people don't really take enough into account when it comes to arthur's supposed obliviousness regarding merlin's magic is that merlin is the absolute opposite of what arthur has been raised to believe sorcerers to be. merlin is clumsy and kind and - in the earlier seasons - like walking sunshine. he so obviously has negative desire for actual power, nor any respect for it, and while arthur absolutely knows that merlin isn't stupid, he 100% is an idiot.

and it's not stupid or ignorant on his part! people just do this, whenever they are taught someone who does or believes a certain thing is inherently evil! it's never the friendly guy next door who snacks half of your breakfast and then just grins when you complain, obviously not! arthur trusts merlin even early on, and beyond belief later on. of course merlin can basically do magic in front of him, because there is no part of arthur that actually thinks someone like merlin could have magic. you don't see what you're 100% convinced can't be there. if he ever got there, his already brittle construct of indoctrination and supposed repeated confirmation of said construct would crumble immediately! as it does in dotd after like, a day. it only doesn't in regards to morgana because as far as arthur is concerned, the moment she started using magic she became the cold and ruthless enemy he still couldn't bring himself to actually pursue! like.

it's very easy to think it's startingly oblivious, but one thing i really wish people would keep in mind a little more is that the viewer watches from a different point of view, and operates with a whole other set of information. that arthur operates under a certain worldview in an environment that does not teach to question it at all, and gives little opportunity to do so. it's actually wild arthur questions uther's teachings as often as he does, and considering that every time he does, they, to his knowledge, just get confirmed again (nimueh, morgause, morgana, uther's death, and so on and so forth), it's even wilder that he keeps doing it

the polyamory couldn't save them in the end. but it matters that it was there

For the record, I am fully loving keeping up with 911 from afar. Have I ever watched even a second of the show? Absolutely not. But I've seen so many scenes via gifsets. I've seen so many opinions on the direction they could or should take Those Boys. I think I am legitimately having more fun living vicariously though this fandom than I ever could actually watching the show.

I haven't felt this way since Supernatural, and I forgot how fun it is. Thank you 911 fandom.

The Witcher | 3.08 'The Cost of Chaos'

farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders

No, but like, imagine you're jaskier. A bard painfully in love with your weirdly mutated wolf witcher. A magical thing tells you the story of the first ever dog Witcher, and you're like "ok, cool" and then she tells you how this fucking dog is in love with a BARD who gets called basically the same things you get called.

And they are in mutual love and it's like the best most romantic love to be ever existed.

And you're there. Ok, cool, fuck you too.

Everybody acts like each new Game Changer is a new level of betrayal and psychological torture from Sam towards his friends. Did we forget that the very first game changer was "Sam wheels out a strange machine and asks the contestants embarrassing personal questions, the veracity of their responses is judged by the Machine. The machine is actually controlled by the contestant's significant others who have been made accomplices. Forcing their loved ones into revealing shameful truths for internet broadcast." And sure, he's gotten a bit more personalized with these, constructing a variety of torture chambers for Brennan Lee Mulligan specifically, putting Grant O'Brien in various situations and then bringing his mother onto the set. But deception and betrayal were part of Game Changer from the beginning. So, when I hear people say "I can't believe Sam WENT THERE" about something all I can do is think to myself He went nowhere He's been there the whole time

I have a lot of feelings about Adaine and Riz going from low rolls to a dirty 20 solely from the help of their friends. And not for high stakes world savers, either! Knowing what your crush thinks of you, performing well in your first Owlbears match…

I love how much the party loves each other. 100% ride or die no matter how big or small it is, because it’s important to their friend so it’s important to them.

I hope Bobby Dawn meets Jawbone and the sheer force of Jawbone's queer energy kills him on sight

And then he unexpectedly finds love. What do you think attracts him to Radovid? I mean, for me - and I’m going to be mean now - they are very similar and it’s a bit like Jaskier falling in love with himself. JOEY: (laughter) What Jaskier sees in Radovid is – I think it is as you say and there is indeed some similarity. I think they are both hiding behind a facade, behind a painted face. Radovid is considered a court jester. Jaskier hides behind his own clownishness. And I think they immediately recognize that in themselves. It’s like a liar or an actor can tell when someone else is taking advantage of their tricks. And they are both intrigued by it. They want to see what’s under that facade and that mask. And that’s what they’re drawn to. There’s something very, very visceral and exciting when you meet someone like that. That tension that’s been there from the beginning - I think that’s what brings them closer together. Would you say they are both quite lonely people? JOEY: I can’t speak for Radovid. I don’t like commenting on other people’s characters. But what can I say… I wouldn’t say that Jaskier is lonely. I might say he’s lost. And he’s not lost. He is used to wandering around the Continent. I think he’s used to being a sort of wandering bard, to being alone, but also to being surrounded by company. I think he feels lonely deep down. Do you know what it’s like to feel lonely in a room full of people? Yes, I still feel that way. JOEY: I think that’s how Jaskier feels.

the thing that is so crazy about sokka and yue is that obviously they are foils, like yue is specifically narratively constructed to parallel sokka in terms of prioritizing their duties to their fathers & tribes, sacrificing their own agency and life to serve their communities by fulfilling their role in the patriarchal order.. but yue herself doesn’t even know that. because sokka never talks about anything. so even when she’s like “you don’t understand, i have duties to my father and to my tribe,” sokka isn’t like “actually i understand your situation very intimately, as it is an exact mirror of the circumstance that has defined my entire existence.” because if he said that, he would not be sokka. so he’s just like “but have you considered not making yourself miserable? i think that’s something you, as a person, could do. obviously i could never do that, but your situation is totally different. because you don’t deserve to be miserable. whereas i do.”

LET FOUL MEN BAND AND HEED YOUR HUM FOR THAT ANCIENT HYMM YOU HEARD ME STRUMMING? IS NOUGHT BUT FUMBLE-FALLS AND GUNS AND TUMBLEWEEDS, LOVE RUN.
