Hamilton + Mass Effect Andromeda Is My Jam

There are so many things I love about the B plot of 1.03: “The Southern Air Temple”, the Agni Kai, Zuko’s obvious fury and helplessness, Iroh having Zuko’s back against Zhao, the way it’s made clear that the Fire Nation officer class does not respect Zuko, or see him as the heir to the throne, or even think there will be any retaliation if they mistreat him, not to mention the sheer economy of scenes that this massive amount of worldbuilding and character development is done in, but really one of my very favorite things is the shot of all of the enormous new Fire Nation navy vessels, and then there’s Zuko’s ship, heretofore shown as large and menacing through the eyes of the Gaang, completely dwarfed by them. The banished prince and his cute little toy boat, off to capture the Avatar.

Star Trek: Discovery midseason finale tonight! Check out the first 8 of my retro episode posters as you prep for Episode 9: “Into the Forest I Go”.

I love them I love this show I am living in a world of my imagination we're FIREFLY WAS NEVER CANCELLED

Firefly & Serenity + Tumblr Text Posts

I've never seen one of the birds ones fit better tbh

the walking dead + guide to troubled birds

The purpose of life is to get really into stories that drive you so crazy you sometimes feel the need to throw up from how much you love them

and more from the same series

top Vor things, no particular order:

Piotr, who wouldn’t accept Miles as his grandson until he was like five, asking if maybe Miles failed the Imperial Academy physical test because the instructor was a jealous prole

the end of Warrior’s Apprentice when Miles finally tells Baz his house colors and Baz nearly faints, and Miles tosses, “Break him in gently, Elena!” over his shoulder as he walks away

Gregor being like 95% sure that neither Miles nor Elena would ever point a loaded cannon at him

I’m almost entirely certain Simon isn’t actually, legally technically, sworn to Aral in any way, but every single person treats them as such

“Vor really does mean thief.” -drunk, furious Duv Galeni

Aral Vorkosigan, Admiral, Regent, Prime Minister and Viceroy, wears bright, floral shirts in his downtime. 

“Let’s see what happens” (every. time.)

“But of course. Every Vor lady go to the capital to shop.”

when Vordrozda draws the needler in the Council of Counts, in the presence of the emperor, and fully half of them, these old men with the status, stuffiness, and average age of the UK’s House of Lords, get up and run forward to tackle him

Miles, what have you done with your baby brother?

when Miles reluctantly admits to Ekaterin that they would have had to sacrifice her and Professora Vorthys for the good of the station and Komarr, if it came to it, and Ekaterin replies, “Of course. We’re Vor.” And you can hear Miles’ jaw hit the floor, because coincidentally it’s the same sound my jaw is making, because holy mothergrubbing shit, if you were not convinced by this point that they were perfect for each other…

when Richars says “Lady Alys doesn’t have a seat on the Council of Counts” and five days later, Alys has whipped up like seven votes against him, mostly by talking to various Countesses and their daughters

when Miles shows up at Ivan’s office in Memory to requesition him, and Ivan is like, “NOPE” until Miles explains that it’s for Illyan, and Ivan is like, “…about time. Mother’s been complaining” and falls in behind him.

Mark haphazardly enlisting Elena as an armswoman-simple

Ivan explaining the secret code of Gregor’s suit choice to the Arquas

this list could go on for so long; I’m going to stop it with a reminded that Aral Vorkosigan wears bright Hawaiian shirts, and also honorary mention to the time Bel Thorne pretended to buy Mark’s charade of being Miles so they could go rescue a bunch of clones from Jackson’s Whole. That was the most Milesian thing anyone non-Miles has ever done, with the possible exception of sinking ImpSec.

Finally finished the set! This took a crazy long time to complete, but I’m happy with the result

A short comic I made about my experiences as a seasonal worker, and the way places change you.

jaime x brienne is my guilty ship lol

I really like Tormund as a character, I like that he is brave and smart enough to join forces with his enemies to save his people. I love that he is into Brienne and considers her attractive and wants to have her babies. I would consider shipping him with Brienne IF she showed any sign that the feeling is somewhat mutual.

But all she shows is revulsion and embarrassment, you know, the same way most women do when they’re being catcalled by some random creep they never talked to.

It troubles me that people are finding it sweet, because he’s a good guy and no one really finds her attractive at first sight but him, so it must be true love, right? I mean, what are we really telling each other here? We’re sending the message that if you’re considered unattractive and believe no one can love you for who you are, you should totally hook up at the first guy who thinks you’re hot, even if you are creeped out by the way he leers at you from the very first moment.

I can also understand why some people don’t want to see Jaime ending up with Brienne, because she deserves so much better and he is such a damaged soul, with a sordid past, etc. I get it and I respect it. In real life I’d probably advise Brienne to run away from that guy, too. 

But the difference is…. no matter the objections we can come up with, Brienne is very interested in Jaime. And he is also very interested in her. 

I think mutual interest, affection, respect, admiration, willingness to sacrifice themselves for the other, companionship, etc. should be something absolutely mandatory when you ship two characters, regardless of their faults. If one of them is lacking, then he/she really shouldn’t be in that ship to begin with.

Honestly I don't want to loose this gem

okay things to think about future movie nights:

Scott/Sara getting invited to movie night as soon as they’re allowed to leave the medbay

they tease their twin relentlessly about the cuddling with the LI

they tell everyone embarrassing stories from when they were kids

Reyes getting invited to movie night

he’s not exactly sure if he wants to, some of the crew still side eye him pretty hard (this is doubled with Scott/Sara there, tripled if Ryder is in a relationship with him)

it turns out to be a very fun evening and the crew relaxes a little around him

Vetra invites Sid, who absolutely jumps at getting aboard the tempest

Sid tries to sit in between Ryder and Vetra if they’re in a relationship “Leave room for Spirits, Vetra.”

Sid and Scott/Sara bonding over being the left out sibling

Gil says he wants to invite Jill and the stipulation is she can’t talk about re-population or try to convince anyone to have kids

Gil promises she’ll be on her best behavior

She is not on her best behavior. she keeps showing people pictures of babies and ultrasounds like they’re her own

Peebee complaining that this is getting way out of hand

a second couch is needed

Casual!Ryder trying to act out things, everyone is begging them not to

Professional!Ryder getting asked constantly to reenact scenes with various crewmates

everyone arguing for a week beforehand about what kind of movie to watch. Lexi, Cora, and Jaal want an asari flick, Liam, Vetra, and Drack want action, Peebee always wants to watch the Blasto movies, Suvi wants to watch any and all versions of Planet Earth, Kallo likes the spaceship version of pimp my ride but he and Gil argue over 90% of it, and Reyes keeps lowkey offering pirate movies.

They eventually have to start a rotation
