Making exercises more accessible to the disabled? Fuck yeah!

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

[were-writes]

You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.

Counteroffer: Big dramatic cloak to protect your identity that you drop on the floor before every fight

I can’t believe the compromise is Obi-Wan Kenobi

“No capes!”

“Game on, then.”

Okay, but I love that Gandalf is just dropping his cloak to reveal another, slightly smaller cloak underneath it.

I adore the elves of Tolkien, because you read The Hobbit and you think oh, they're a little weird and fey-like. Then you read The Lord of the Rings and you're like they're very alien, but Thranduil just seems to be Like That™. Galadriel, Celeborn and Elrond are pretty chill actually. Yeah Glorfindel is like the strongest fighter ever and Cirdan's a little off-putting but they're most likely outliers. Legolas forgets he is surrounded by non-elves half the time and trolls the rest of the time, but otherwise he is not weirder than Aragorn.

And then you get to the Silmarillion. And you encounter the Noldor.

Fëanor "spirit so strong his body cremated itself" and Maedhros "got amputated for reasons™ being suspended on one of the highest moutains and probably tortured by Evil Incarnate but got over it in a week". Fingolfin "calling Morgoth to a 1v1 seem like a reasonable solution" and Fingon "climbed Melkor's highest mountain right after having survived the most hostile, icy, treacherous cliffs in existence while singing, to rescue his estranged situationship". Finrod "teeth count as a plausible weapon against a werewolf" Felagund and Galadriel "just in it for the possible crown and this very pretty Sindar I just met".

And that's not even touching Elwë "will marry a goddess at the first opportunity" Singollo or Luthien "sang so well the notoriously inflexible keeper of souls & Judge of the Valar let her and her man have another chance at life". Or whatever Ëarendil was on.

Reading about the elves of Tolkien when your first encounter with them is the Third Age brings the slow realisation that they are not wise and good and all-knowing. The most batshit crazy ones are just already in Mandos or Valinor (except Glorfindel, he cannot be Contained). They are actually the most chaotic people in the lengendarium and are trying very hard to leave behing a dignified image, and it's the funniest thing ever.

An ode to Occtis 🫀💀

[chipthekeeper]

not making a whole gifset about it but i'm actually very obsessed with Thimble's reaction to the Wizard Flirting. like at first you just see Laura's reaction because ooh boy people flirting! but then she's like wait that's my boy flirting with...his teacher?? and she almost starts to ask "were you just flirting with her" but then she looks at him smiling and immediately Doesn't Want To Know and just adds it to the pile of what the fuck is going on that this entire day has been

Bolaire is genuinely almost impossible to pin down as a character

He's a pretentious asshole. He's Shadia and Hero's "uncle Bolaire". He's a serial killer. He makes sure his favorite street performer always has spending money. He's a god-killing weapon. He's a huge fanboy of a popular actor. He's the curator of the most important exhibit in his world's history. He deals drugs to a random shithead noble.

Confusing as hell. What the fuck is your deal, dude, because I cannot pin it down

She's never done a murder ever in her life :P

[sassy-cass-16]

the elves in aramán are profoundly fucking sad. they're decaying. their people are completely unable to reproduce and they were created by the goddess of life. that feels like sylandri's real barrowdell. the elves as a dying people without her to sustain them.

[trostenwaldoktoberfest]

every vaelus and hannan interaction is just so transcendent I get giddy whenever the two of them talk. good gods. like it's just nonstop aurafarming from these two in the most profoundly ancient and tragic way and how they've gone from almost killing each other to HEARING EACH OTHER OUT i'm SO SICK I'M WOEFULLY ILL

I can draw a straight, unbroken line between how Yanessa treats her Aasimar children to how Sylandri treats her Elves

Beautiful, transcendent homes with every luxury and comfort available, paired with sweet, loving words

And no escape, no life outside her purview, no choice without her supervision. Wicander will marry who she chooses for him. Sylandri must oversee who gets to have children.

There's an interesting development happening here with Wic and the Aasimars. They exist in this limbo area where they weren't shaped by a Shaper's will. Aasimars seem like accidents that happen when the Shaper's toys/tools and the Shaper's children came (inside) together.

In this case, in this specific instance, Yanessa is the Shaper to all known Aasimar. Until other Aasimar are discovered, she occupies that space uncontested. And she acts as Sylandri did.

Yanessa literally played god to create a whole new batch of peoples to live alongside the orcs, elves, gnomes, halflings, dwarves, and humans.

Wicander is an angel doll. And his grandmother does not love him. His grandmother thinks that she owns him.

I am once again, super unwell.

That whole scene Kattigan had me singing “it’s just you and me and you and your friend STEVE” or however it goes.
