What Ava and Ciri would look like in real life 🥵

This was generated by Leonardo and given to me by one of Ava's fans and I LOOOVE IT! He looks so real and alive. I can't take my eyes off him. After 7 years in the Witcher fandom, I feel like I'm seeing him for the 1st time. He is so amazing 🤗😍❤️‍🔥

You’re getting an actor who can walk into a scene looking like somebody’s exhausted uncle from Glasgow… and thirty seconds later completely hijack your nervous system.

One minute he’s the terrifying Francis Begbie in Trainspotting — pure chaos in human form. Next minute he’s Gaz in The Full Monty making you laugh so hard you forget the movie is secretly about dignity, unemployment, and male vulnerability. Then somehow he pivots again into the heartbreaking, manipulative, magical disaster that is Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold in Once Upon a Time.

That range should honestly be illegal.

And the thing is — he never feels like “an actor acting.” Robert Carlyle feels lived-in. Dangerous. Funny. Human. Like he’s carrying twenty years of history behind his eyes even if he only has three lines.

He grew up in Glasgow, raised mostly by his father after his mother left when he was young, worked as a painter and decorator before getting into acting, and basically clawed his way into becoming one of Scotland’s most respected performers. 

Also? The voice. That rough Scottish cadence could probably sell:

whiskey

revolutions

morally questionable magic deals

or the last sandwich at a gas station

And fans don’t just like him — they get attached to his characters in a “this man ruined my emotional stability” kind of way.

Need charisma? He has it. Need menace? Terrifying. Need heartbreak? He’ll wreck you quietly. Need weird intensity? Nobody does it better.

Even now he keeps landing major roles decades into his career, including joining Line of Duty for its upcoming seventh series. 

Basically: Robert Carlyle is what happens when talent, grit, mischief, emotional damage, and Scottish electricity all get trapped in one man-shaped container.

something something extremely sexy when magic users resort to physical violence. yeah i have the power of god and anime on my side but i also have THESE HANDS. i cast Punch You In The Face. i take my magic staff through which i channel the vast energies of the elements and the cosmos and i cast Severe Concussion And Skull Fracture. casting time for xenoglossy too long, chose the quicker route of Stab You In The Throat.

It's both the gift and the loneliness of it. You contain the thing you're searching for. Which means you'll never fully find it outside yourself — but also means you can never fully lose it.

I can't believe I am still mourning Homelander, that sick, beloved bastard. His stronger, his smarter, his better :( he is better

I’ve seen some discourse on Twitter so I want to say that I have found Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin HOT since 2018 when I was like 11/12 and he was my first crush I had. The peeps who get it, get it, and those who don’t, don’t
