Brighter Than Stolen Fire

Elizabeth/Adam | 75K words | Rated E

A modern post-canon sequel where these two get all the love they deserve. More than 150 years ago, they met for the first time only to be torn apart. Now, in the early 21st century, Lizzie (Elizabeth) knows nothing of her past life aside from fragments that come to her in dreams. She's researching entomology at Clerval University, and her lab is equipped with a beautiful greenhouse. In the evening, a mysterious tall man tends the plants, and she feels a connection with him she can't explain. Adam privately recognizes her from so long ago but assumes the resemblance must be a coincidence. After decades alone in his cottage, he's carved out a peaceful life for himself, but everything changes when Lizzie's old memories begin to resurface.

Look I don't think Supergirl (2026) is secretly a perfect masterpiece or anything (I personally thought it was like. a 6/10 fun time) but I do think it's wild that Tumblr isn't going crazy for it because this Kara is one coattailed suit away from being a Tumblr sexyman. she is the flawed messy female character people have supposedly been clamouring for. she's the popular archetype of a gruff self-destructive alcoholic middle-aged man begrudgingly having to look after a kid and growing fond of them but genderswapped and also 23. she's allowed to be visibly messy and kind of gross and her hair is constantly all over the place and she literally cries, screams, throws up, and pisses onscreen. she's caustic and mean and puts up an act of carelessness but has a heart of gold. she's heavily traumatised and coping with it terribly. if anything happens to her dog she will kill everyone in this room and then herself. she spends most of the movie in a trench coat and baggy band T-shirt. she gets into bar brawls and breaks a guy's hand. she is Going Through It 24/7 and looks the part. she stabs a guy in the throat. how is everyone else not obsessed with her.

I saw someone spell it "whimsicle" today. Like popsicle

[elodieunderglass]

April Winchell, a voice actress (daughter of Tigger’s voice actor) ran an early 2010s blog called Regretsy that made fun of “regrettable” Etsy craft listings, where “Whimsicle fuckery” spelled that way was a shorthand.

"I don't know if any mother is expecting their son to have romantic feelings for them. It's so shocking. Sometimes I'm reading the scripts, and I'm like, 'What has Ryan [Condal] and Sara [Hess] got for me this season?' It's completely out of left field for Alicent, of course, and also terrifying because this man sits on top of the Iron Throne, and she has to tread very carefully from there on out, and also see if there's a way to use that to her advantage. It's awful. It's odd, it’s not nice. Not nice at all." — Olivia Cooke

Supergirl Star Milly Alcock Addresses Kara's Sexuality: "She'd Probably Go Both Ways"

Supergirl star Milly Alcock has shared her thoughts on the Woman of Tomorrow's sexuality in the DCU, and while the movie has no time for rom

Supergirl is clearly an important part of James Gunn's wider plans for his "Superman Saga," and a movie that many DC fans are hugely excited for. Now, lead star Milly Alcock has weighed in on something the movie won't necessarily address: Kara Zor-El's sexuality. The House of the Dragon alum was asked about that in a recent red carpet interview and replied, "In honour of Pride Month, as I'm getting all these questions...I don't know. I think that what makes this film so beautiful is that it's not centred around a man. It's not centred around love at all, if anything." "But we'll see. I don't really know. I don't know, I don't know," Alcock stalled while pondering the question, adding, "She'd probably go both ways." This is just the Supergirl star's take that the Woman of Tomorrow is bisexual in the DCU, but it's still something that many fans might welcome.

I choose to take this like Zoe Kravitz saying that her Selina Kyle, like the character in the comics, is bi: until either movie explicitly contradicts it, that is now canon.

recently saw ppl discuss whether they put their medicines in a kitchen cabinet or a bathroom cabinet and i was shocked by the fact that many ppl said kitchen cabinet. so now i need you to reblog this and say where you keep yours

[tahthetrickster]

just so we’re clear if you’ve never actually seen a cybertruck in person and have only seen photos of them i cannot stress enough how much worse they look in real life. like i honestly don’t know how it’s possible. most things look basically the same in pictures and in real life. but as stupid and ugly as cybertrucks look in photos, every person i’ve spoken to who has seen one in real life agrees that they somehow look even worse in person. and i know you’re thinking to yourself “tah they already look so bad in photos, how can they possibly look even worse in person?” I DONT KNOW. the first time i saw one on the road i was on a phone call and i literally cut myself off in the middle of a sentence just to be like “oh my GOD.” just an incredibly, laughably, unbelievably bad vehicle. i’ve never experienced anything like it. they’re just so bad
