i do hate riley like any other btvs fan but the concept of having two people starting to date and both of them hiding something from the other and being incredibly obvious about it but both not noticing because they‘re too busy with their own secret is a great set up

once again thinking about how tragically underused angel’s sister was on either show. acknowledging her existence at all could have provided SO MUCH DEPTH to angel’s relationships. kathy lastname i see your potential girl. you could have haunted the narrative in such a compelling way

i Always read the name of xichen's xiao as liebling instead of liebing which honestly feels fitting to me, like he would have a spiritual weapon named darling

*hits the joint* In the Harry Potter universe, Merlin is canonically a Hogwarts alumni and a Slytherin, which is impossible because Merlin predates the existence of Hogwarts by centuries. Of course, JK Rowling didn’t know that because she is a dumb bitch. I’m sorry. Misogynistic phrasing. She is a willfully ignorant and hateful, deeply unlikable and ill-informed, untalented and unspeakably cruel…..person. Seriously, how could you write a series about British wizards without truly understanding THE British wizard. Anyway, Merlin would never be able to attend any sort of organized schooling. He’s definitely self-taught in every universe because he’s the most powerful wizard ever AND he’d have been expelled from any institution before he stepped through the door. The only reason they haven’t escorted him away from Camelot is because he can see the future and he is kind of like the king’s dad. I was so disappointed by BBC Merlin. I turned it on and I was like “What the fuck is this shit, where is my perverted old man?”

[horse-with-wings]

Wait he is a wizard? In the translation into my language of BBC's Merlin they called him a sorcerer.

He’s also referred to as a warlock in BBC Merlin, if I remember correctly. Those three words are used interchangeably in English though they have slightly different connotations and they mean different things in some fantasy series. Because his character and his lore originated in Middle Welsh and Old French literature, his powers, the language used to describe him and even what he is can vary greatly across Arthurian literature. Some sources will just refer to him as a ‘magician’ as a catch all term for anyone who wielded magic before it became a term for illusionists.

In popular tradition, he is the son of an incubus and a nun, he inherited his less savory magical powers from his father and his ability to see the future from God, who rewarded him for not becoming the antichrist. I do not know what that classifies him other than a cambion and the weirdest guy in Britain.

This is kinda off topic but this reminded me of stuff i was reading for revision. My understanding is that Geoffrey of Monmouth is the first known source of the incubus father thing for Merlin, which suggests within the universe of BBC merlin, where the incubus thing isn’t the case, that the librarian got so bored/annoyed at Merlin that he decided to make that up about him.

if you're ever wondering what popular media is getting wrong about basically any premodern society, the answer is that there are never enough lawsuits

[caesarsaladinn]

there's a common idea that in the olden days all disputes were resolved through violence, but even in settings where that was true, people would still sue each other about it.

[systlin]

Like 80% of Icelandic sagas involve lawsuits. Sometimes against ghosts.

This worked to get rid of the ghosts, incidentally.

in season 1 Xander broke Buffy's music box mirror because he was trying to spy on her changing clothes even though she'd made it clear she didn't want him to look

Breaking a mirror causes 7 years of bad luck and the show only ran for 7 years therefore anything bad that happened to Xander is because he tried to violate Buffy's privacy in episode 5

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

Male Hysteria is a condition where a prolonged lack of prostate stimulation causes the patient to behave eratic and promiscuous, often to the detriment of his own life and the lives of others. Unfortunately it has never been diagnosed even once because nobody cares about mens mental health

You know we all agree that Jin Guangshan has no rights but when he said “teenagers are so dramatic” I felt that. He’s literally the only adult left of his generation except for his wife, who rightfully hates him, and Lan Qiren, who is no help at all with that situation where his one nephew is always making eyes at both Sect Leader Nie and his unfavourite bastard and his other nephew is getting his hormones all over Jiang Cheng’s emotional support necromancer. In taking out Wei Wuxian he not only rid himself of one annoying teenager, but disposed of his worst nephew and bought himself a minimum of three years reprieve from Lan Wangji. He didn’t want Yanli and Zixuan to die- they were good kids! But their deaths in conjunction with Wei Wuxian’s did also reduce Jiang Cheng to a shattered husk of his former self, easily jerked around by access to Jin Ling, which was presumably much less annoying than Jiang Cheng being deep in his brother feels while totally failing to control his brother. Having Mingjue killed resolved his son’s throuple drama once and for all, and if you’ve never considered murder in response to throuple drama you haven’t been in close proximity to dramatic throuples. I’m not saying that Jin Guangshan is valid but I am saying that trying to rule the world when all of your would-be vassal states are being run by teenagers and twenty somethings constantly having big dramatic feelings about each other in various directions is a circle of hell he totally deserved.
