Hi! There are a lot of things happening here

evoking bertholt brecht’s “the way people cast a play!” quote as a spell against prescriptive, stereotypical, fatalistic typecasting

[darkcomedies]

idk what to tell you except go look at the fishwives

[thevampirecrow]

fellatio sounds like a supporting shakespeare character rather than oral sex on a penis to be honest

[postarcadian]

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system

[lizhly-writes]

thinking about yqy and sj and og sqh. i'm not advocating that they all get along but can you imagine what it must have been like talking to yqy when these two are also right next to him. gee yqy how come you get two evil advisors. most kings only got one vizier going "my lord shall i suggest we kill him".

no wonder og sqh betrayed him. it's a normal occupational hazard. that's just what happens when you have two evil advisors.

The Holy Trinity ✨

[yamalvr]

i have a personality flaw that always positions me on the side of characters who are hiding everything and refuse to accept help. like do NOT confide in people. confiding in people is the enemy. REAL winners lie and lie and continue lying until they ruin every single thing theyve got going for them & didnt fix a single goddamn thing. keep digging grandpa youre almost there

Thinking about how fanon has a tendency to apply a dichotomy to Qishan Wen being evil vs Dafan Wen being good and how it was spawned from CQL canon instead of book canon. But do u know what tickes my brain? WWX protecting ppl who are ACTUALLY war criminals. The haunted look in his eyes when he recognises one of WQ's cousins and KNOWS they did some shit, perhaps by their own volition, perhaps under duress. And him knowing he, himself, is no better in his own conduct during the Sunshot Campaign. And they are now both here in a foresaken land, WQ looking at him, pleading him to look away this once because he is my family, please spare him and WWX does because he doesnt exactly hate her cousin, but he's not fond either. But he owes WQ so much debt that perhaps only his life will ever pay for it. Yet WQ's cousin tells him, one of your corpses killed my sister.

And oh, what can WWX say to that, should he be regretful, should he apologise, but he doesnt find it in himself to be sincere about such things, not when he didn't know and not when it was either kill them or let them kill his peers, his shidimei, Jiang Yanli, or Jiang Cheng who was on the frontlines with him.

Jiang Cheng who he gave up his golden core for, Jiang Cheng JiangCheng JiangCheng Jian-

Then uncle Four tells him, I have killed for my clan as well, some of your shidimei, perhaps.

WWX has nothing to say to that, but WQ's cousin goes rigid with fear as his eyes pass between WWX and Unclr Four. They are in a room with people who have done bad things, killed each other's families. Uncle Four is pouring WWX his homemade fruit wine, and WQ's cousin is peeling the radishes he grew - ones that they are surviving off - and WWX is tinkering with another talisman for the wards for their home. They can't look at each other in the eyes when clink their mugs of wine and drink, every gulp equal parts sweet and bitter on their tongue.

Burning and burning down their throats.

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

reblog if you like to see your own characters tortured

Wait, wait… lemme go get my favorite Jonny Sims quote real quick…

WHAT IS THE POINT OF INVENTING FAKE PEOPLE IF YOU CAN'T GIVE THEM TRAUMA?

[simplyghosting]

Me, pointing to the mirror: Do NOT become The Joker about this. This isn’t even a Condiment King situation.

Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian but it’s Toxic by Britney Spears

[gallusrostromegalus]

I’m gonna propose something: if your combat/ass-kicking sequence can’t fit to a top 40 female-vocalist Banger like “Toxic” or “Mama Mia” or “I Need a Hero” you’re not Doing It Right.

[fatsexybitch]

At this point its starting to feel like Editors are using 140-150bpm as a standard for action sequences, and I cant say I hate it.

[homestuckphobia]

I agree wholeheartedly with every point above but I watched this first with the sound off because I forgot that was an option and what struck me most is how efficient Luke's lightsaber style is. Almost every flourish he makes and all of what, 2 entire spins?, is defensive to better parry blaster fire while nearly every offensive swing he makes is basically a head or chest level kill shot. If I had to make a guess about his character I'd say this vintage twink has probably Seen Some Shit and maybe comes from a background where resources are scarce and help is far away so if you get in a fight you have to end it before it starts or you're dead meat

[screamting]

deeply want a time travel fic where Luke visits the old republic and the Jedi are like “that’s not a dueling style” and luke is like “yea am not doing much dueling tbh”

you ever hear a new song and immediately go “oooh the fake scenarios in my head are gonna love this”

[hotvintagepoll]

I think they should remake How to Marry a Millionaire but this time they call it How to Bury a Billionaire and it’s about Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, and Betty Grable murdering the oligarch class
