THE LORD OF THE RINGS The Return of the King

[finnwaller]

Siri, play Bad Guy.

Dónal Finn as Dick Turpin

I know this one is probably just for me but I needed to see him in costume.

Don't worry, I've got some more Eoin ones on the way.

You think the devil has horns? Well, so did I But I was wrong, his hair is combed and he wears a suit and tie He's nice, polite, he'll catch you by surprise A smile so bright, he's the devil in disguise

(truly can't believe I had to google whether cigarettes were smoked in 1871 and then learned that later 19th century they were referred to as coffin nails)

also sometimes i remember that “just hold me, please” is an actual canon line said by the most emotionally stunted man on the planet. like i forget it’s not from a fanfic or something. he actually said that. that was arthur pendragon’s dying wish. get fucked, bbc merlin writers. and thank you.

"PROJECT HAIL MARY" 2026, dirs. Phil Lord & Christopher Miller

[luna-azzurra]

If you're a new writer and you're asking yourself "is this too personal, is this too much, will people think this is weird" that feeling is the exact location of your actual voice. The stuff that makes you want to close the laptop is the stuff nobody else could write. The safe version is always worse. Always. I have never once read something and thought "this would have been better if it was a little less honest." go further. It's always go further.

PROJECT HAIL MARY 2026, dir. Phil Lord & Christopher Miller

[fan-a-tink]

I've been listening to the PHM soundtrack on repeat these last few months, and I love all the songs (for example, Centrifuge is a bop and no-one can tell me otherwise), but Grace Go Home exists on its own level of genius I think. and yes, I will elaborate.

the music sets in at the exact moment Rocky asks "so, Grace die, question" and at the start it's these lonely double heartbeats with no anchor and so much near-silence in between that they just float through empty space (pun intended). the change starts as soon as Rocky says "Rocky watch crew die. Could not fix. Grace say Grace will die. Rocky fix", and slowly but surely the heartbeats become steady and solid, from then on consistently underpinning the music. and the strings set in and suddenly there is substance to the music again. And then when Rocky says "Grace go home" the choir starts, human voices in the music that literally call grace home to his own planet, which is so freaking powerful. The music then softens when Grace goes into the hug, and when Rocky thumps against the glass in reply, it's like the choir exhales one final time as if in relief.

And I'm sure someone with more musical knowledge will know whether the chords switch from minor to major or something like that, but I don't know enough music maths to provide that side of the analysis. I just think the piece is a masterclass of how a scene and its music can be intertwined and work together. You can feel it, even when you can't understand it yet. And I think that's beautiful.

MURDEROUS WAKE Young Sherlock | 1.02 The Case of the Burnt Photograph

[breadbut3d]

I just finished episode 6 of dead boy detectives and I’m shaking. wtf. Why. Omg.

Firstly I came into this completely blind and had no IDEA it was going to be this queer. WDYM ONE OF THE “MAIN” PLOTS IS ABOUT ONE OF THE MC’S FIGURING OUT HE’S GAY FOR HIS BEST FRIEND WTFFF!!!!!! Istg if they don’t get together I’m gonna scream (Though atp I’m like 80% sure they will but I’m also fully prepared to be let down (Yet again. Looking at you *literally every other show in existence*))

Also the whole thing with Charles’ backstory and his dad and just everything! GAHH. I feel so bad for him.

I feel bad for all of them though. Although it does seem like Crystal has her demon ex out of her head now which is GREAT! I love that!

I will say that Edwin is my favourite still although Niko is a VERY close second. (I may have misspelled/misremembered the names but I hope you know what I mean) I love them as a duo and given the landlord told her to set some other people up I really hope she’s gonna try and set Charles and Edwin up (even though he’s in FREAKING HELL NOW WTF!?!?!)

I have so much to say and I’m so so sleepy so I’m gonna finish my thoughts here. I’m gonna sleep then hopefully finish the series tomorrow and then if they don’t get together I’ll spend the rest of tomorrow crying :)

i've fumbled some hot people in my time, but at least i'm not the Cat King, who in one smooth move gave the target of his affections a gay awakening, and then hit him over the head with the realization that he had been in love with his best friend for decades, permanently eliminating any chance that he'd be able to Hit That
