[eagna-eilis]

One thing i am fascinated by with TV!TVL so far is that it uses form to construct meaning in a way that I don't really associate with television.

In 'Detroit' the editing is frenetic and psychadellic, and the storytelling is sort of flippant. Lestat is putting on a mask, he's high as a kite, and he's deflecting.

In 'Toledo', the flashbacks are short because Lestat doesn't want to dwell on the past. A sort of calm and relief descends upon the viewer when Louis is onscreen not just because we all love Louis and feel comfortable with him and his voice but because Lestat loves him and takes solace in him.

The form tells us something in this very explicit way. The language in S1-S2 is highly literary, so gorgeous and prose-like and mesmirising. The FORM here is so literary.

Shh, any canon portrayals be damned, I don’t care how it actually is you should know this by now

Imagine if all the bats in their respective teams and associates do their best to be steadfast and reliable. This means that there’s no joking around, rarely any smiles, lectures rather than jokes, and overall, they can be described with the word stoic. They emulate Batman to the best of their abilities

Now, everyone knows they’re connected to Batman, trained by him, and there's a small inkling that they may have been raised by him for a short period of time, no concrete proof on that last one

They have no idea

The batkids know that they can relax and show more of their true personality when Dad is around. They don't have to focus on being leaders or making sure they don't die because they're often surrounded by people with superpowers that could possibly hurt them. Dad is there to protect them now

They’re so bright, happy, smiling, and talkative. They’re hanging off of Batman’s arms and back, freely pouting when he doesn’t give them enough praise, rummaging through his utility belt, stealing things from his hands. They’ve never seen them like this

my beautiful women exploding robby with their minds since they don’t have guns

[weird-goodbyes]

Javadi posting about Jesse and effectively standing up for herself with Robby and then gets defended by McKay and then having flirty energy with the intake woman and then immediately working with Mateo who she couldn’t NOT embarrass herself in front of last season. She’s twenty one soon. She is a girl who is going to be okay.

joy had to leave as soon as shen arrived because their combined chill would be too powerful. the hospital would explode.

[darthdisasterous]

Imagine getting arrested on the Fourth of July for doing the most American thing known to man: standing up to corrupt authority figures you do not respect.

Jesse Van Horn the king that you are.

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

[scribe-cas]

Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"

we don't actually need gender markers on our licenses and whatnot. we could just. do away with those entirely. i do not believe this would lead disaster.
