this is a highly controversial opinion, I have no doubt King Arthur was bisexual but I think he was one of the few people in Camelot not interested in fucking Lancelot. he wanted to retain him as an employee but it did not cross his mind that Lancelot was fucking his wife because Lancelot is such a weird little twerp that he did not perceive him as a sexual being. my interpretation.

[byjove]

So true. The Galehaut/Lancelot relationship was like a dynastic marriage to resolve the conflict between two imperial powers. I like to imagine Galehaut was like “I have decided to abandon my plans of capturing [what is now] all of southern England and surrender to you despite my military advantage, all for the love of my achingly beautiful and spectacular new male wife, Lancelot du Lac.” and Arthur was like “Okay. Weird. Not homophobic or anything but Lancelot? You’re in love with Lancelot?”

Co-signed. That’s some real shit you said. Also, unlike Arthur, he was willing to yield and share his lover for everyone’s benefit. And then he died for love. A real freak. One of the best freaks in 13th century French literature.

Desperately need people to remember who Ra's Al Ghul is and what he stands for.

Ra's and the whole league of assassins are supposed to be eco-terrorist. His whole fight with Batman is because both Ra's and Bruce saw wrong in the world and they both wanted to save it.

But the conclusion Ra's arrives to, is that humanity is a plague and to save the world, people need to die.

It's ment to juxtapose Bruce ideology. Where Batman believes in reformation, in second chances, and that every life that can be saved should be saved; Ra's believes the lives of mere humans are a cheap price to pay for the sake of the world.

People need to remember that Ra's trained Bruce, and for a while Bruce was on his side. He's not that different from an anti-hero

"Bruce never reveals his secret identity to mind readers or the Lasso of Truth because he truly believes he's Batman and Bruce Wayne is just the mask-" WRONG. Bruce Wayne is so fucking good at lying, both at the mental and physical level, that he allows himself to truly believe whatever he's saying in that fraction of a moment and THAT'S why no one can ever force him to reveal his identity.

Bruce has been lying for SO long that he can drill down to the tiny ways his body needs to breathe, move, etc and the way his mind feels when it's telling the truth. And then he tells himself, just for a moment, that whatever he's lying about is the truth. That he doesn't just need to believe it, but that he does.

Of course when someone asks him, in that moment, who he is -- the answer is "I'm Batman." Because in that moment, that is the only answer. It's the truth.

Broke: Bruce Wayne is the mask

Woke: Batman is the mask

Bespoke: Bruce is multiple people/masks/truths all at once, and reality is more of spectrum than a hard line between two “masks”

The less in control of the situation Bruce is, the more he pretends to be in control for Clark.

Let it be known to all superbat shippers that "Cowl off." is a complete sentence.

Something about Superman or better yet Clark Kent being authoritative gives me the tingles

project hail mary is a touching and poignant film that leaves you asking questions about humanity like, "wow what if all mainstream media was genuinely good" and "what if book adaptions actually gave a shit about the book in question" and "what if studios hired actors that could actually act, and then let them get a lil wacky with it"

My son gave me a card that said, "You are the best mom ever" so I asked him if he collected empirical evidence to back up that claim. He admitted to doing no research at all; therefore it's purely anecdotal and cannot be trusted. I have hung this sentimental atrocity on my office wall.

Had a friend express worry that Eliot Spencer gets injured so often in leverage and I had to reassure them: no no. U dont get it his old job was "getting the shit beat out of you constantly for the sake of people who dont care if u live or die," and then afterward he had to drag himself home, patch himself up, and do it all over again tomorrow. NOW he gets minor cuts and bruises (usually), and the moment the job is done his whole clingy crime family gets to go "oh that looks like it hurts let's get you some bacitracin and bruise cream!! Do you wanna cook dinner to feel better?" And then they all make sure he is never in any true mortal danger and he always gets a say in what he does for the job. This is like a working dog who got house privileges and now enjoys fat naps in front of the fire and fancy wet food after his long day guarding the flock. Hes doing great actually.

Ok I knew that the snow in The Long Way Down Job was real but I was figuring like. Small ski hill. Snow machines maybe. They filmed that episode on a mountain DURING A BLIZZARD???

STOP telling me when people are typing. it's bad enough i have to figure out how not to interrupt people in verbal conversations and now we're doing it in WRITING????

Forever jealous of the Merlin cast. Imagine being in your 20s in the 2000s and your life consists of getting paid to do medieval larping, while surrounded by only attractive people.

thinking some more thoughts re: eliot being so attuned to his people. all it takes is a single look or a barely there shift in posture and he's already up and moving to do whatever's needed. he can tell by tone of voice alone when something's up, doesn't even have to see what's going on. and it's so funny every time in the show where one of the crew is just like "...eliot?" and he comes in hot

and i imagine it's so scary to the bad guys. like let's say you're some rando evil dude talking to parker and it's going south. maybe you grab her up by the collar or something and yeah, she can totally hold her own and twists out of your grip easily, but all it takes is a tilt of her head and you're dust before you can blink.

or imagine you've totally cornered hardison, thinking you got off easy chasing the nerd but then he just starts grinning. dude hasn't said a word, just smiling like a maniac, then all of a sudden your shit is so rocked your ancestors feel it

idk where i was going with this i just really love eliot
