Just some ideas

So... watching Pretty Women, 1990 for the song Oh, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison is not an experience many can share, I'm sure. But nonetheless, I noticed that Vivian's colour pallete was pink and when she was the centre of the frame the lighting would reflect that.

Unless her heart was breaking or she was hurt or upset then the scene would have a blue undertone. Other than her, of course. She'd still be pink.

I think Edward's was yellow? if I'm not mistaken.

Conversely, when her and Edward were in love and it was established or when they were falling, both of them had the brightest lighting then.

Two sides of the coin this, two sides of a coin that.

Consider the what in his childhood, Arthur lacked the most: a mother and a friend. He had everything else from a meal every night to a father to acceptance in certain forms. Everything.

What did Merlin have? What are the only two "things" that Merlin had? A mother and a true friend. He had nothing else. Hunith and Will were the only two things, the only good constants Merlin probably had growing up. His next meal wasn't confirmed, but Will was his best friend. The villagers may have hated his bastard ass but Hunith loved him.

Merlin had everything Arthur lacked growing up, while Arthur had everything Merlin lacked in his childhood.

Locked Away

Be Arthur to Gwen during their courtship after forgetting for a solid minute that she is a maid, a seamstress and a blacksmith.

(Merlin didn't speak to him properly for a day after he accidentally said something like this to Gwen. It was all sarcastic "sire"s and "I wouldn't know, your highness." Arthur promptly vowed to never make such a mistake again.)

Be Arthur after forgetting that most of the people he willingly engages with were peasants/commoners prior to this.

Thankfully, he never said a word about the loyalty of his Round Table ever. Or Merlin might've actually attempted regicide with minimum outside influence.

Guys... guys... guys... listen. Surely a magic so old and wise would understand that a life is not only equal to life. After all, sometimes peace of mind... ykw, forget the build up.

I think that here is a possibility that the price for the birth of the Once and Future King was the creation of the Butcher King or whatever Uther is called in the prophecy.

That yes, a life for a life, but also forcing the birth of the Once and Future King early means creating the necessity for his birth.

I am so pumped! I really didn't think I'd make it this far tbh...

What if Yuri accepted Loid Forger as his sister's husband, as his brother-in-law, as his brother? Like ya, originally he was skeptical but like over time, Loid wins him over and then he latches on hard, like Yor levels of adoration and love but for Loid too. I think he'd get like super possessive of the whole family, yk? Once he sees that Loid (and Anya by extension) is good to and for Yor?

[anvidea]

What if taking into consideration the above idea, Loid was taken into custody by the secret police for some small, irrelevant charge that he actually wasn't guilty of and would warrant a fine at most if he were actually guilty? What if some of the soldiers were roughed him up way more than necessary?

[anvidea]

Loid Forger was a psychiatrist and didn't know how to fight professionally. Loid wasn’t supposed to know that his brother in law was a part of the secret police and Yor definitely didn’t. As LoidTwilight kneels on the grim and dirty floor, ribs cracked and clothes torn, he wonders if this is how they treat all suspects.

Then Yuri, adoring, sacrificing Yuri, walks in. TwilightLoid ducks instinctively his head down. His pride unwilling to let a part of his newfound family see his weakness. His inability to protect, to defend. Then gloved fingers gently tilt his head up to meet eyes that widen imperceptably.

As Twilight looks at Yuri's face, he's terrified that for a moment Yuri actually believes that Loid deserves this treatment over those charges, those stupid, small charges. Instead Yuri apologizes, but Twilight interrupts saying it's not necessary, expecting another harsh, ruthless interrogation, this time by his little brother, with extra emphasis, telling him he'd rather get this over with.

Instead Yuri presses his head into the crook of LoidTwilight's neck, arms wrapped around his torso. Twilight rests his head on top of Yuri's to offer comfort, he knows that Yuri is his brother first and foremost. Twilight sighs before encouraging Yuri to do his job.

Twilight has never had a younger brother or siblings but he doesn't want Yuri to risk something he values for him (Loid) and he cares about Yuri's future, even at the risk of being found out. He offers Yuri all the comfort an older brother would, instinctively as soon as Yuri looks even the slightest bit affected. He'd want to tug the kid into a hug but his hands were cuffed and he had to pretend. He didn't think he could bare the looks on his family's faces if they found out he was a spy but... in that moment all Twilight wanted to do was give his little brother a hug.

But Yuri continues saying that they had checked the charges and Loid was free to go. Yuri unlocks the chains with care and patience that Twilight has never seen from the kid before. The first thing he does is wrap his arms around Yuri. Yuri's arms are instantly back around him, squeezing and oh shit, his ribs... Loid winces and Yuri immediately tries to release the hold, but Twilight, even as injured as he is, is strong enough to keep his little brother pressed against him in a hug, pushing Yuri's head back into the Crook of his neck, in a protective manner.

Yuri Briar was assigned to interrogate some random civilian, but hadn't checked the identity of the accused beyond what was necessary to break him before entering the room. It seemed like the suspect hadn’t resisted arrest or cause a scene and had been spectacularly amicable. As per protocol, he had had the charges verified before entering the room and they were wrong so he filed the paperwork to get him released, before going to the cell to tell the innocent to go, but once he walked into the room... He knew some of the guards used excessive force but this? Over a small misfiling of paperwork? With someone who hadn’t even resisted arrest?

Thank you to everyone who got me to 50 reblogs! I really appreciate that everyone is liking the things I've come up with.

Also, guys, I forgot to mention that Nigel is a sweetheart. That man literally looked that poorly dressed woman pretending to be an assistant to one of his oldest friends and thought, 'I'm gonna have to adopt her, aren't I? Otherwise she'll never survive... sigh...'

He literally talked her through the steps of learning and growing. He acted as her sounding board and guided her when she was lost and confused.

And years later, after she left, he offered her job when she was struggling. Nigel helped and supported Andy in anyway he could.

(The adoption thing is a bit of an exaggeration, yes. But that's intentional.)

[anvidea]

Does anyone else get frustrated when the subtitles don't translate accurately, like sure, maybe it can mean "She is beautiful," but what it literally translates to is that, "She is enchanting," so why not use enchanting over beautiful?! It conveys the emotion and the feel of the dialogue better. It really pisses me off when they do that. Why do they do that?

Cooking Up Trouble - Merlinfirstlastalways - Merlin (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61950259

So basically a magic reveal but like thrice as funny with virtually no angst because Arthur is a prideful idiot and can't let Merlin know how badly he fucked up a single wager. Like so worth it. It's not mine, but for fuck sake is it funny. And it's a one shot. You can literally feel poor Merlin's frustration and ughhh the feels. A little Arthur Centric imo.

After speaking with one of my favourite people in the world, I was brought to my attention that the first movie deals with the treatment of the assistants and interns and other such positions in corporate, whereas the second film deals with the treatment and pressures of the upper echelon and upper management, like editors, CEOs, etc. In and by corporate.

[anvidea]

You know... in the first movie, I kinda of got it? It was about having a work-life balance, but also about the dedication and passion you should have for your choice of work. Like Andy didn't like fashion, she didn't even get fashion, but she grew to understand and learn about fashion. She changed to understand the demands of the industry she was in. And do not misunderstand me, she was there by her own choice. She could have quit at anytime. She could have quit when Emily told her to never leave the desk unattended, when her clothes were... judged... or even when they commented on size, but she didn't. She chose to stay, she chose to find out and she learnt and grew and found herself.

In the second movie... I guess I could tell what they wanted to convey? I mean, not really... but kind of? Because she had to relearn and understand and adapt to the changes in the industry she'd grown to understand and to love. Do not get me wrong, her primary passion was journalism and truth and justice and etc. And her application of that in the context of fashion was brilliant, but I didn’t get it What was the movie trying to tell us? What was the message of the film? Stick to your morals? Be yourself? They covered that in the first film. Don't betray your boss? That was understood, right? Like that's just rude. Maybe it was time are changing and have changed...? That's a nice message. Idk... but it seemed like they were playing a lot on nostalgia.

Don't get me wrong, both films are amazing. I watch either of them again with no hesitation. The acting is brilliant. Hats off to all the cast on their acting. The movies was just spectacular. I loved the way they dealt with topics like AI, the transition from paper to Internet, the influence of social media and content creation on the traditional form of media. I found the whole HR requirements thing hilarious, watching The Miranda Priestly attempt to use "HR approved" language and immediately following it up to make whatever she said worse. It was hilarious! And the poor thing looked so traumatised hanging up her own coat. It was so funny. I just...

Both the films were and are brilliant and relevant. I love them. I love the characters and the portrayal and everything.

What if Sally Jackson was Bruce Wayne's long lost younger sister who was kidnapper or something as a baby and adopted by the Jacksons?

What neither of the knew and found out much later, like after the Trials of Apollo for Sally and after he's got Duke for Bruce? Sally finds out when Bruce reaches out to her. Bruce was going through a box of his parents things when he finds out that he has a younger sister that he was too young to remember. With his resources, he finds out she is alive and living in New York, her name is Sally and she has 2 kids.

Out of respect, he doesn't look into her personal life much. He reaches out by visiting her. Percy was out at that time maybe with Apollo, maybe at school. She tells him she won't introduce him to to her kids until she has 3 different DNA tests from 3 different facilities of her choice who's names she won't share with him that their siblings. She does this for two reasons: she can't risk false hope or giving him an openning to hurt Percy.

Paul is super supportive but Estelle is just learning to walk and meets her uncle before planned by walking into the living room during the first meeting. She agrees to keep in touch with him and meet up even before the results come back because she does believe him and is genuinely excited.

[anvidea]

Percy is going to Gotham University for college. Annabeth has got into the top architecture college in the country, which is not in Gotham. Percy has made friends with a Tim Drake at college despite their different degrees. Percy's is marine biology.

DNA testing takes time, yk?

Tim finds Percy to be a nice friend and someone he want to get to know better. Unknown to Tim, Tim's boyfriend, Bernard is a son of Apollo that Percy knows from camp and Percy doesn't know Bernard is dating Tim. Percy and Annabeth have made arrangements so they have 1 date a week. Percy meet Jason Todd because they are kinda neighbours (Jason doesn't actually stay there. He stays at the manor.) and they bond over a shared like for baking and cooking.

[anvidea]

So anyway one day, Percy's is this cute cafe place, and he's just there to get something like a pastry or something and Damian is in there too.

They don't know each other and maybe Dick is there with Damian cause Damian is still a child. Dick goes outside to pick up a call. And the place starts getting robbed and Percy has a saving people thing, right?

So he goes in the takes one of the guys down but then he sees the other guy pointing a gun at Damian and so he tackle Damian, getting shot it the process, but still manages to take the kidnapper down.

Damian is super touched that this random unknown civilian would take a bullet for him by funding his hospital bill at least until they realise that Percy was gone. They check and realise that nobody matching Percy's description was even remotely injured in the way Damian's savior would have been.

Sally and Annabeth get iris messages right after Percy wakes up after his crash from exhaustion of having the shower water heal him and also the adrenaline fading. Percy did not go to a hospital. Sally and Annabeth were informed about the cafe incident and both of them scolded him, telling him to be more careful.

[anvidea]

A couple of weeks later, Percy is just chatting with Tim after his classes are over. Percy has a date with Annabeth at Bat Burger later. The one near his shitty apartment in the Narrows is quickly becoming their go to spot for dates. For the record, Tim doesn't think there's anything off about Percy at all. They're just friends.

On this day, Dick and Damian are coming to pick Tim up from college. They have some brotherly bonding planned (Damian and Tim's relationship has improved drastically now that they're both actively working on it).

Damian recognizes Percy and Dick notices thay Damian's distracted and then tim walks up to them waving bye to Percy and Damian quickly asks who that was? Tim is like my friend? Duh? And Damian is like what's his name and do you have his number? Tim's like None of your business and why?

Damian narrates the incident explaining he thought Percy looked like the guy who saved him. Dick gets it and so does tim. Tim goes, I don't know man. It does fit his personality, but I don't know and he does agree to ask Percy about it later.

California Dreamin' (Remastered)

If Sam Winchester had a song....

Well, technically I imagine it more like Ssm sings it? To some extent. And technically, I just kinda want to watch him interact with it in the sense he heard it once in a concert? Idk...

Like "I'd be safe and warm.." and "...California Dreaming/ on such a winter's day..."

You know Greek myths and their fatal flaws. You know Percy Jackson and his quests. You know Epic the Musical and the Odyssey.

And we all know that Percy's fatal flaw is Personal Loyalty. Have we ever considered Odysseus's? I think in the depiction of Epic, at least. They share their fatal flaw.

I mean, the guy travels 10 years to get home only to have to commit mass murder, man. What do you expect? Normal people would have just fucking settled elsewhere. But not this bitch. He's just got to be extra and make everyone else look bad. That's not even to mention the only fucking reason he left in the first place was under duress because asshole who doesn't deserve a name threatened his newborn baby. Which is why Just a Man is so important to the overarching storytelling. But I digress, you get my point.
