Y'all need to hop on Spider-Noir, some of you people would go crazy over this.
crazy how spider-noir has literally everything im into; medical torture, almost human but not quite, hot women, jazz, crisis of identities, body horror, detectives. god this show was tailor made for me
ya know i am genuinely curious how spider-noir is being so slept on.
ben reilly is a tumblr tailor made genuine wet cat sad hound dog eyes trash fire of a human being blorbo AND YET
cat hardy is a slinky, complex beautifully rendered gaslight gatekeep girlboss with a tragic backstory AND YET
robbie robertson is a take no shit know your worth let me help ray of sunshine AND YET
janet ruiz is a fast talking competent to hell and back investigator with a heart of gold who WILL cut a bitch for her friends and family AND YET
you disappoint me, tumblr.
watching project hail mary because my mom asked me to. one quastion. why are people shipping ryan gosling with markiplier from an entirely different movie when his character has a friend who he goes on a cute shopping trip montage with.
It's Barbenheimer for guys who are condemned to death in space.
Started as a joke, developed into something interesting.
Iron Spider plushie
i know a post retirement queer sports podcast with ilya and troy would pop the fuck off. they call it ‘locker room talk’ and every single player is getting called a fag. nobody is safe. let ilya and troy say fag #freethem. shane is the guy behind the camera on the laptop googling every single question they ask, and the only special guests they have are bood and hazy on rotation. they arrange for scott hunter to show up for one week and he fears that it will undo every shred of progress he’s helped make.
it actually destroys my soul that this isn’t real
BIG fan of pairing this with Svetlana and Shane’s super serious Hockey Talk podcast where they constantly interview the greats and debate the direction of the sport. Ilya’s not allowed on
the thing about the mummy movies is that you really spend most of the time thinking "wow brendan fraser's character is so cool" or "man oded fehr is so mysterious and heroic" when the fact of the matter is that these two
are the absolute most batshit insane heroes in the entire franchise
these two are intellectual loner siblings with archeology backgrounds who read and speak ancient egyptian, hire a dude directly out of prison to take them to a lost city of gold, and fight mummies literally with their bare hands. twice.
no one in these movies stands a chance against the carnahans. frankly they're lethal in how willing they are to make the absolute and most undeniably deranged decisions. jonathan pickpockets a dude on fire. evy's resurrected from the dead and immediately remembers how to use sai. they're racking shotguns from a cliff in this scene and then proceed to blow away half the antagonists.
rick and ardeth should be so lucky
Holmemes pt 40
Elementary is THE best modern Sherlock Holmes adaptation and all the other modern adaptations can go suck eggs in hell. (Sherlock & Co not included bc I haven’t listened to it yet but I’ve heard it’s very good.)
What if Buffy's mom hadn't found out about slaying at the end of season 2 and Buffy had to convince Spike to stay in town and pretend to be in a band with her because that was the cover story they'd told Joyce
And then eventually end up accidentally actually starting a band because it’s easier than maintaining the lie
Joyce says they can use the garage to rehearse and she always makes them snacks. Buffy starts to worry she'll never get Spike to leave
Buffy insists on calling the band Slayer and Spike keeps failing to convince her that there’s already a band with that name
Low key I feel like Buffy would just see it as a cover and it’s a ‘fake band’ but Spike gets like way into it and it’s a Real Band™️ to him and he’s a little annoyed Buffy doesn’t take it as seriously. He’s always like “you missed practice this Tuesday what the hell’s up with that. We have a gig next week btw”
#he starts trailing after her on patrol to bitch about missing practice or how she's sloppy on her chords #starts pitching in on the slayage because vampires keep interrupting his tirades #''EXCUSE ME we are having a ROW'' *stakes fledgling* #no chip necessary spike is literally the guy in the band with zero chill about the band #he undeads the band. he unbreathes the band. he spends all his time not sleeping... on the band. #(willow is their manager xander is the merch guy) #(giles was secretly plotting to lure spike into a trap until he notices spike is... actually better at corralling buffy on patrol than he is #because spike doesn't want her injuring her hands or doing anything that fucks with her breath control) #(giles is also weak to the nostalgia of it all and tunes their instruments when he thinks they're not looking) #(when faith arrives mid-S3 she's quickly recruited to sing backup) (via @entirelytookeen)
@worldsokayestdragon :
#spike after learning Oz plays guitar: why İsn't he in the band? #buffy: he's already in his own band. which is actually a real band unlike our fake band that you keep forgetting is just a cover story #spike: we're never going to make it in the music industry if you don't stop calling our band fake
Spike (with reluctant but knowledgeable backup from Giles) finally convinces her that "Slayer" risks bringing copyright lawyers down upon their heads, a fate worse than vampires
Buffy turns around and re-names their band "Fake"
Ok I Don’t go here but this whole thing is very. very. very funny.
behind every problematic age gap yuri there's an even more problematic, bigger age gap yaoi
Game where the ancient hero is awakened from the deathless sleep of centuries in the hour of their people's greatest need, only to find that civilisation is thriving and there are no obvious threats on the horizon; the game then becomes a fish-out-of-water detective sim as they try to figure out what woke them up, and also solve other, smaller mysteries along the way.
FINISHED!!! have ganon and link as kronberg's "David and Saul' piece :)
i have literally never played a zelda game btw i think i got possessed by a ghost to do this
So I had some truly incomprehensible conversations recently with people who firmly believe that Heated Rivalry is Russian propaganda -- because the (Canadian) show depicts a queer Russian man as sympathetic? I guess?? -- and while that was obviously a bugfuck weird opinion to have, it did inspire me to think more about the timeline of the show (as pulled from the timeline I put together) vs. the timeline of modern Russian legislation targeting the queer population. (I didn't realize these were Christmas colors until halfway thru making this; I didn't do that on purpose.)
Strap in, kids.
1922/1926 - the Bolshevik Revolution decriminalizes homosexuality.
1933 - Joseph Stalin recriminalizes homosexuality, coinciding with a rise in imperialistic leanings. The Holodomor famine is inflicted on Ukraine by the USSR, and over the next forty years or so, the Soviet Union annexes, invades, and/or occupies most of Eastern and Central Europe, as well as establishing satellite states in places like Finland, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Yugoslavia, and China.
1993 - After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, a new criminal code is adopted in the Russian federation; homosexuality decriminalized and gay prisoners released.
1999 - homosexuality is declassified as a mental illness in Russian Federation.
2000 - Putin comes to power as president of the Russian Federation and brings in sweeping attitudes of "traditional values" and Russian imperialism.
2006 - first attempted Pride Parade in Moscow results in violent clashes. First region in Russian Federation passes ban on "homosexual propaganda."
December 2008 - First Prospect Cup. Shane and Ilya meet. Russia/Ilya wins.

March 2010 - Russia fined by European Court of Human Rights because many Russian cities refuse to allow Pride parades.
June 2010 - Shane and Ilya shoot a commercial together (that Ilya set up) in Toronto. Shower scene, then first sex in Shane’s hotel room.
Jan or Feb 2011 - All-Star game in Nashville. *Scott Hunter sees all* Second sex in Ilya’s hotel room, they makes a plan for fucking at Shane’s apartment in 2 weeks after a game in Montreal.
Feb 2011 - game in Montreal canceled because of inclement weather.
May 2011 - NHL awards in Las Vegas, *Scott Hunter sees all* Shane wins Rookie of the Year award. Shane and Ilya kiss on rooftop, Ilya goes back to Russia for summer.
2011-2012 - more regions in the Russian Federation pass legislation prohibited open discussion of homosexuality and public events such as Pride.
2012 - "Advocacy group Immigration Equality said that in the last two years, it won more gay and lesbian asylum cases for Russians [...] than from any other country besides Jamaica."
Summer 2011-Fall 2013 - Shane and Ilya text back and forth and play against each other but do not hook up.
June 2013 - Russian Federation passes a federal law banning: "Propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among minors, manifested in the distribution of information aimed at forming non-traditional sexual orientations, the attraction of non-traditional sexual relations, distorted conceptions of the social equality of traditional and non-traditional sexual relations among minors, or imposing information on non-traditional sexual relations which evoke interest in these kinds of relations."
Oct 2013 - game in Montreal. Sexting before the game. Shane/Montreal wins. Ilya goes to Shane’s apartment, first actual fucking.
Dec 2013 - federal law passed allowing media regulator to block websites calling for public protest in wake of anti-gay law.
Feb 2014 - Sochi Olympics. Russia/Ilya gets knocked out early. Ilya isn’t responding to Shane’s texts, rebuffs him when Shane tries to see how he’s doing. Shane/Canada win.
Mar 2014 - Russian Federation illegally annexes Crimea, a part of Ukraine. Nationalism grips the country: hate crimes against LGBT+ individuals and other minorities skyrocket.
Apr 2014 - Montreal/Shane get knocked out of the playoffs early, Boston/Ilya win Stanley Cup.
May 2014 - NHL awards in Las Vegas, Ilya wins MVP of the year. Bathroom scene, then Shane goes to Ilya’s room for "no kiss" sex.
Summer 2014-Summer 2016 - montage, Shane and Ilya hooking up and playing hockey.
May 2015 - Federal law prohibits "undesirable organizations" from operating within Russia. The list includes many LGBT rights organizations.
October 2016 - tuna melts, Shane and Ilya miscommunicate and crash out. Shane starts dating Rose, they see each other at the club, and Shane breaks up with Rose, all before the end of the year. Shane had a busy autumn.
Feb 2017-present - anti-gay purges carried out in Chechnya. Gay men and women are kidnapped, tortured, imprisoned, and killed.
Feb 2017 -
I'm not saying that Ilya doesn't have other reasons for reacting this way, especially his self-loathing and fear of intimacy, but there are people like them being purged in his country while they are having this conversation. This context matters! His behavior is a reflection of the horrific shit that is unfolding in Russia!
We see this also in his behavior towards Sasha, his former lover, back in 2014. Sasha comments that Ilya used to be more adventurous; a casual viewer might read this strictly as Ilya being less interested in sex with anyone who isn't Shane, but recall that in scenes after this we see him hooking up with women casually. He specifically turns down sex with a man.
The last time Ilya and Sasha hooked up, apparently prior to 2010, Russia was a very different country. In 2014, when Sasha appears, the anti-"homosexual propaganda" law had just been passed six months ago. I believe that it's important to consider this context when viewing Ilya's character and his decisions, both with Shane and with Sasha.
Anyway, I've spent too long on this. Support queer Russians trying to change their country and support queer Russians trying to escape their country. Fuck anyone who supports Putin and his authoritarian, homophobic regime.
Matt Ryan as John Constantine (2014)
stating my letterkenny rewatch really just cheering and clapping when jacob tierney comes on bc i understand now that he has the mandate of heaven thank you pastor glen
I just started watching Black Sails and I think it’s so funny how literally every other character creates like three separate layers of scheming and manipulation to solve their problems whereas Vane IMMEDIATELY resorts to extreme interpersonal violence
