but like…that sounds awesome
The starry-eyed words of someone who has never read one of my legal briefs or been inside my head during Turnabout Serenade to hear the series of WELL WHAT ABOUT JURISDICTION AND ALSO MACHI IS A MINOR AND NOT A CITIZEN AND AT THE VERY LEAST YOU SHOULD BE GRANTING HIM A RETRIAL BECAUSE THERE WASN’T A TRANSLATOR PRESENT DURING PROCEEDINGS.
My understanding is that new Tomb Raider is only a timed exclusive. It'll be on Xbone first, then later on other platforms.
Oh that is SUCH GOOD NEWS thank you dahling oh man I feel so much better

OMG so happy to see more of this. Oh Tom, you keep making things more complicated than they need to be, don't you? But at least they dealt with it like adults. <3
Thank you! <3 And yes, he really does. It’s like an incredibly lame super power.

That last one is such a kick in the teeth.
Thank you! That's exactly what I was aiming for ;D *successkid.jpg*
Random question - if, indeed, per the Jon/Handsome Bob discussion we are discussing all potential JGL/TH pairings...who do you pair Chris Pratt with? Anyone? (Poor boy gets no love. D:)
Ohhhh, Chris is so tricky.
The problem is, at the end of the movie, Chris has only begun to forgive himself, and he still doesn’t love himself. I don’t believe in fix-it romances (they’re no better than magic healing cock, to me), and I think Chris’ self-loathing would be a huge barrier to any romantic relationship.
I think he’d have to learn to forgive himself, or at least get further along that path, before I’d ever entertain the thought of pairing him up with someone. So, y’know… I’d have to construct a loooooong gen fic in my head, all to do with Chris healing and growing as a person, before eventually thinking of pairings. And that Chris Pratt would be…well, obviously I’d try to keep him as IC as possible, but he’d be different from the Chris Pratt in ‘The Lookout’.
I’m not saying that Chris’ issues mean he doesn’t deserve love. I adore his character, with all his flaws, and I think he absolutely deserves love. I just think there’s an overwhelming chance that any romantic relationship he embarks upon - given his mental state at the end of the movie - would end in disaster, and the thought of such a story just… doesn’t appeal to me.
Um… hopefully that makes sense?

Long rambly side note: Did I ever talk about the plot bunny I came up with in campfire chat (I believe the bunny was formed with either sneaqui or lezzerlee), where Arthur is Chris Pratt? A long way down the line, obviously. But, basically, his difficulties with his anterograde amnesia are why he uses the moleskines. Timeline-wise, it’s tricky - there’s just so much PT Chris would’ve needed, because anterograde amnesia isn’t the only issue he deals with, but it was good to head canon/think about. And the opportunities for mind bending non-linear storytelling, given Chris’ anterograde amnesia? That would’ve been aces - something like Nolan’s 'Memento' in terms of structure.
You have brought me a lot of joy over the years we've shared fandoms on-and-off, and I think you're great. I hope if I ever make it up to NYC we could hang out. <3
<3 Thank you! Your tumblr also brings me delights and you seem rad. Lovefest!

Yay Sib! So glad you finally got to see it. I absolutely love everything you said about it too.
:DDD Seriously, I did not expect to have so many thoughts about it afterwards.
fujoshirobo replied to your post “Goddamn it, I can’t stop thinking about ‘Don Jon’ - Part 1”
I’m so glad you finally saw it! I love the scene about how “cleaning house isn’t manly” because you can see so clearly there how it’s hurtful/limiting to him PLUS it’s such a good intersectional moment about gender and social class
YES.
On first viewing, I thought it was a bit heavy handed (well, I still do), but there was a lot of stuff at play that I liked, so it’s a scene I’m now quite fond of, despite said heavy handedness.
It demonstrated that neither of them enjoy mess - Jon doesn’t like literal messes and relationship messes, and Barbara doesn’t like the boring/messy parts of romance. She wants the perfect kiss, and the ideal man with the ideal job (followed by the ideal wedding and the ideal babies, it’s implied), but she doesn’t want the ‘picking up after one another’ or ‘adapting to one another’s weird quirks/habits’ parts of romance.
And, like you said, the intersection of gender roles and social class was really interesting. It’s like a double whammy for Jon - Barbara not only calls his love of cleaning unmanly*, she also implies it’s plebian/classless of him to even do it. I know ScarJo mentioned that Barbara is a woman who believes she’s a bit classier than she really is, and I like how their interaction in that scene - along with ScarJo’s costuming choices - carried that point across.

* NOTE: I had a half-formed thought about Jon, and how his concept of masculinity is so stereotyped, it’s led to his sense of his own masculinity becoming rather… fragile? Brittle? Like, the way he shoves his friends away after hugging, and the way his aggression ramps up when his dad calls him a kid (and, conversely, his pride when his parents say he’s becoming a man for getting into a committed relationship)… it all speaks of a guy who isn’t truly secure about himself/his masculinity. I think I kind of rambled about this in part 1, but not in terms of gender and gender roles, so… *makes note to include thoughts on gender roles in part 2*
fujoshirobo replied to your post “So you want to get into comics: A rec list (Part 1, Marvel edition)”
For people who like She-Hulk and particularly the fourth wall breaking humor, the 80's Sensational She-Hulk started that take on the character and is pretty awesome as well. I love Jen Walters so much.
There you have it, folks! :D
fujoshirobo replied to your post “I read about your Arthur/Eames Hunger Games AU, but what do you think a Bane/Blake Hunger Games AU would be like? John would be from one of the poorer districts...”
Someone should write this. I wonder if Bane would still have the mask...
My personal preference for AUs is to keep as many canon-ish things as possible, but morph them to suit the setting. Sooooo... I think it'd depend on whether it was Bane's first time in the Games or not. If it's his first time, he most likely doesn't have the mask. But if it isn't his first time, he could've been the victor for his Games, but been seriously injured in them, and was thus given the mask (*mumble* Victor with morphling addiction *mumble*). And then he's reaped for the Quarter Quell, and--
Oh, oh! You don't even have to go with a Quell, actually! There are so many possibilitiessss. I mean, you could have John from a poor district, and Bane from District 4. Orrrrr... you could have John and Bane come from the same district, and Bane is John's mentor, and Bane calls John 'little bird', and and and--
Okay, someone take this plot bunny and go. I have too many WIPs to be thinking about this one, too.
