Hacks really said life is about making things with people you love and laughing with your friends and god what a perfect show

#just finished hacks and I’m sobbing #a perfect show fr #hacks #hacks hbo #I loved it sm #ava daniels #deborah vance

God it’s so funny how bad Leslie and Ben are at keeping their relationship a secret (and just not being a couple in general)- like they were only secretly dating for like three episodes and in that time:

-They started making out in broad daylight *at work* while they were talking about how to be better at hiding their relationship

-He leaned in to kiss her in the middle of a conversation about being more subtle

-The second they’re confronted about their relationship by Ron they both start babbling incoherently and can’t even come up with a reasonable way to deny it

-While she was trying to break up with him he got her an L-shaped eclair and she loved it sm she cried and they spent the night together instead

-While they’re broken up her brain basically short circuits at the mere thought of him being with someone else and he can’t even be around her anymore bc neither of them can figure out how to not be in love with each other

#if parks had gotten a full length s3 and we’d gotten a longer version of this era #I feel like every character would’ve ended up finding out at the rate they were outing themselves #they lack any kind of subtlety when it comes to their feelings for each other #and I’m obsessed with them #parks and rec #parks and recreation #benslie #leslie knope #ben wyatt #ben and leslie #leslie and ben

One of the most satisfying parts of reaching the second half of tmi is whenever Jace refers to his sister and you realize he’s talking about Isabelle

#like thank god fr #an underrated sibling duo #isabelle lightwood #jace herondale #jace lightwood #the shadowhunter chronicles #tsc #the mortal instruments #tmi

Rereading cob and it’s so funny that clary and jace both spend most of this book watching each others’ interactions with simon and alec and thinking “how tf do you not realize your best friend is in love with you??”

Nysmnyd au where Jack and Lula never broke up so when he gets his tarot card they just assume it’s meant for both of them and we get all five horsemen for the whole movie

#bc as much as I love the new movie I want more lula #and I missed her in the first half #someone write this pls I need more of them #lula may #jack wilder #nysmnyd #nysm #now you see me now you don't #now you see me #jacklula #jack x lula

Love watching the development of Leslie and Ben’s working relationship bc it goes from

-Two equally stubborn government employees on opposite sides of the budget crisis who won’t stop complaining about each other to everyone they know

-Co-heads of the harvest festival who become an unstoppable team the second they’re finally on the same team (they’re partners in crime with their own secret handshake that makes everyone around them gag but they both love it sm that it doesn’t matter)

-A secret couple who technically can’t be together bc of the rules that govern the jobs they both love so much (except they’re starting to love each other more and every time they try to talk about being more subtle they end up making out at work)

-Married couple who get to work together again and frequently annoy their coworkers with how disgustingly in love they can be (we see Ron get mad at them and Donna tell them to stop it and neither reaction seems to dissuade them in the slightest so we can only assume that this is a frequent occurrence)

If only we’d gotten to see more glimpses of Governor Knope and Congressman Wyatt being disgustingly in love at the federal level

#and I didn’t even cover their campaign era #when he punches that guy for her and she kisses him in front of a reporter #and they both get distracted by their mutual mushy compliments and I love yous while trying to show off the campaign bus #like god they’re so stupidly adorable together and I love them sm #parks and rec #leslie knope #ben wyatt #benslie

It’s really funny to me that they went from atlas and merritt hitting on henley in the first movie to having merritt turn around and use atlas as his new target in the second one while lula hits on jack lmao

#like every time Lulas hitting on Jack #and Merritt turns and does the same thing to atlas to fuck with him #it kills me like god the second one is so funny #nysm #nysm2 #now you see me #now you see me 2 #j daniel atlas #merritt mckinney #lula may #jack wilder

The concept of merritt getting into the habit of calling atlas ‘buffy’ when he’s getting on his nerves post-nysm2 and eventually having to explain the reference to henley and the others when jack and lula lose it laughing the first time he does it post-reunion

#official pitch for nysm4 #nysm #now you see me #now you see me 2 #now you see me now you don't #nysm2 #nysmnyd #j daniel atlas #merritt mckinney #jack wilder #lula may #henley reeves #charlie vanderberg #june rouclere #bosco leroy

Ok genuinely what’s the plan to get a fourth season of party down bc I just rewatched s3 and that henry x casey reunion scene was just *way* too buzzy for that to be the end of it

Like I’m gonna need more of them *now*

#this scene is everything to me #like cmon a s4 *has* to happen eventually right??#until then send me your fic recs bc they’re aren’t enough of them #and I need more henrycasey *now*#party down #starz #henry pollard #casey klein #adam scott #lizzy caplan #I’m still so obsessed with this silly little show #give me a million more seasons of these two trying to figure out how to have a functional relationship with each other

I love all of the tid couples sm like wdym charlotte and henry were married for literal years before either of them found out they weren’t in a marriage of convenience and they had both actually been in love with each other this whole time

#charlotte x henry #charlotte fairchild #henry branwell #tid #the infernal devices #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles #charlotte branwell #henry fairchild #obsessed with how post-tid she’s exclusively referred to as charlotte fairchild #and he seems to use branwell and fairchild interchangably

Looking forward to seeing where Serena and Matt are at next week after the classic “first kiss at the end of the episode and then it fades to black” sitcom cliffhanger

Aka I can’t wait to see where they’re at next time we see them on a scale from Jim and Pam (haven’t seen each other in months, everything’s awkward and they’re not really in contact anymore) to Leslie and Ben (hooked up immediately after said kiss and are now fully in a committed relationship) lmao

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since sotr came out and my unemployed ass sat down and read the whole thing cover to cover in one sitting and SOBBED when I saw the first mention of Katniss and Peeta in the epilogue (I missed them so bad)

#sunrise on the reaping #sotr #the hunger games #thg #everlark #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #I’m gonna sob again in November seeing them in the movie #I had a theory they’d be in the epilogue #but actually seeing their names on the page again really got me #i missed them so bad

One of the reasons that I think Ben and Leslie are so special to me is that the show had a such a strong, ambitious female character like Leslie at the helm and decided to give her an equally strong, ambitious love interest in Ben. In a lot of ways I think Ben is sort of a revolutionary kind of love interest for a character like Leslie and I adore them together

Like there’s a version of a show like this where Leslie ends up alone (in the typical “strong independent women doesn’t need a man” fashion) bc she can’t find a partner that won’t slow her down or inhibit her individualism. There’s also a version where she ends up with a Dave type guy: someone kind and sweet but rather simple compared to her, who loves her and supports her dreams but never fully understand them, who can cheer her on from the sidelines but couldn’t ever really stand beside her, who admires her big ambitions but has none of his own

But parks didn’t do that. They knew they didn’t need to make Leslie permanently single in order for her to retain her power and individualism and they didn’t have her end up with some kind of simpleton in order to give her a husband who wasn’t intimidated by her ambition or success. They did something that shouldn’t be as rare or feel as revolutionary as it kind of is: in Ben they gave her a true partner, an equal

Ben is as strong willed and ambitious as she is. He loves Leslie as fiercely as she loves him, but they also *understand* each other just as well. He supports her and her goals as her bf/husband, but he’s also there beside her as her partner as she works for them and she does the same for him

In these two, parks gave us a couple who love each other fiercely, who come together to become even stronger, more sure versions of themselves, grounded by the partnership they build together. Neither one of them gives up their strength or individual ambitions or their complexity as a character when they’re together. In fact, they’re more powerful and ambitious as a team than they were apart, constantly encouraging each other and pushing the other towards the things they want

Ben and Leslie are a couple, but even before that, they’re a *team* and I just adore them for it

#Ben and Leslie are proof you don’t need to shrink either part of a couple to make them work as a couple #they can both be the strong ambitious one #*strong ambitious character* doesn’t always have to end up with *loving simpleton*#or end up alone for that matter #ok end of speech #enjoy my latest benslie rant bc I’ll always love these two #benslie #parks and rec #leslie knope #ben wyatt

If I had a nickel for every time lizzy caplan made a surprise return to a series when it finally came back for a third installment after like a decade long break - I’d have two nickels but it’s weird that it happened twice

#lizzy caplan #now you see me #party down #lula may #casey klein #nysm #nysmnyd #now you see me now you don't #pls this is really funny to me #the way I’d convinced myself she’d be in nysmnyd even tho everyone was saying otherwise #like a) ofc I wanted Lula to come back #and b) I was like she’s gonna do this again isn’t she #how did I end up being right about this lol

Rereading tid for the first time in a bit and I’m still never getting over Gideon accidentally proposing to Sophie in front of the whole institute lmao

#‘how else are we supposed to be married??’#*instant regret at realizing what he just said*#cecily going ok everyone leave the room NOW #no not you Gideon #like this whole scene will never not be funny lmao #sophie collins #gideon lightwood #tid #the infernal devices #clockwork princess #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles

tbh nysm would be great as a tv show

mini heists or magic shows every few episodes

character interactions! fun magic!

one episode where Merritt and Jack get a new bunk bed from IKEA and the entire episode is them struggling to put it together

Dylan and Thaddeus do a small heist together but accidentally get seen at the end by like a bachlorette party and have to call Merritt to hypnotize them to forget about it and he’s like “yall are hardcore Eye magicians you can’t fix this yourself?” and Dylan goes “neither of us are mentalists, what do you want us to do, kill them?”

Danny is getting increasingly paranoid because everyone is acting slightly Off and it’s because they’re planning his surprise birthday party

Through a series of events, after staunchly refusing to do so the whole episode, Lula is forced to recreate her ‘hat out of a rabbit’ trick

Henley shows up like “I’m gonna jump in a crocodile enclosure for a thing, can you watch my kid for a bit?” And Babysitting ensues

another episode with Henley (perhaps multiple) where she participates in the latest heist/magic show but always makes it back to her house before the cops bust her like “what’s happening officer I’ve been home all day innocent blink” ala Antman and the Wasp. Other times she’s the tech person who hacks into stuff and monitors cameras

Dylan’s FBI ex-coworkers/boss are reoccurring antagonists. At one point after setting up a sting all episode, they fail to catch the Horsemen. What went wrong? The Horsemen used pigeons to communicate and avoid the trap

Thaddeus and/or one of the other Eye magicians shows up occasionally to be weird and cryptic and either cause problems or give vague, eventually useful advice (or both)

basically any era would work

pre nysm1 awkward get-to-know-you bonding

post nysm1 hjinks with Dylan maintaining his cover and the Horsemen screwing around

post nysm2 everything

even post nysm3

the possibilities are endless
