when pavitr and miles are drinking chai together, and pavitr rants about people calling it chai tea, miles never stops pouring the tea because he’s so taken aback and that sent me.

Still cannot believe that Trenton Lee Stewart wrote the best children’s trilogy of all time, vanished off the face of the earth for ten years, then dropped a sequel out of nowhere JUST to set the record straight that Sticky Washington grew up to be Incredibly Handsome. Absolute king god bless

I think the win win solution is for everyone to hop on the peter parkedcar and get themselves some pizzas 🍕

the real reason gotg movies are the funniest marvel movies is because their characters have gone through the most trauma, and that’ll give you an elite sense of humour

casual fan? no sorry i only know how to invest my whole livelihood into something and spend every waking moment thinking about said thing

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY! ✨🪐

i'm both dumber and smarter than you think so don't underestimate me because i'm actually smart about a lot of stuff but also don't be surprised if i'm dumb about some other stuff hope that helps

I don't care if the Crows spin-off is just the six of them acting it out in Freddy's living room while Freddy's wife films it on a phone, I'm willing to pay real money for the footage.

Peter seemed to only have Cisco as a close friend (and Zoe before she left). Working the night shift probably left him with very limited time to actually hang out with friends anyway. And when he was at work, he was completely alone in that windowless room.

After Zoe left, there must have been so many days and stretches of time where the only interactions Peter would have with others would be barked orders from Hawkins or snide comments from the other FBI agents or being trolled by the Rome Tome dudes.

Rose is the one who nearly cries and admits she feels so alone, but Peter must have been feeling the exact same way for months as well. 

It’s just me and my silly little books against the world

Danny complains, but clearly Steve's methods work.

Hawaii50 is a show about hot cars and even hotter people who carry guns and grenades and run around in a sunny island

This is soooo crow of them

And kit (= Jesper) being the one posting this is just peak characterism

OKAY BUT PICTURE THIS!!!!

soc spin-off, right? We get through the whole ice court heist, we’re on our way back to ketterdam. In the book, now is when we get the “I will have you without armour, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.” But we’ve already gotten that scene in the show. Inej is already off on her own journey, and she’s had to come back for the heist. But the point is she (and most likely Kaz as well) have gotten through more character development compared to the books.

Which means that THAT scene will have to be replaced with something BIGGER, a step further into their relationship. I can’t even begin to think what it could be like (no gloves??), but I know it will definitely have me screaming.

But do you know what that means as well? The scene of Van Eck noticing Inej as Kaz’s tell and kidnapping her (which happens right after this) will have ANOTHER whole new level of ANGST, and I’m not sure I can handle it.

I’m going to get my money, Kaz vowed. And I’m going to get my girl.

I’m screaming, I can’t wait.

a reminder that we are lucky to have gotten a soc adaptation at all. the books are so perfect that nothing was going to live up to them anyways. if u think of them as separate entities, i promise you’ll enjoy yourself much more!

The thing is, I can forgive a lot of it. The scene where Kaz tries to help Inej with her wounds? I guess it was a nice nod to the CK scene, if slightly too soon. The "I will have you without Armour?" Fine. We all wanted to see that anyway. Rushing Wesper into a relationship rather than keeping as the slow-burn from the books? Okay. I really loved them on screen despite that. Kaz beating up the dregs? Definitely could have done without it for obvious reasons, but whatever. I can brush it off.

But the two things that are really grating on me are Kaz's face-off with Pekka Rollins and Inej leaving to hunt slavers. Because the POINT of these things happening towards the end of the second book is that there's a build up.

These characters go through so much. We learn everything about them, we see their struggles and we root for them. We spend SO much time learning about Kaz's thirst for revenge. We see moments where he starts to lose it when it comes to Pekka, and slowly start to learn why. And at the climax of Crooked Kingdom, there's so much on the line. We finally see him snap. There's a build up there of something that he's spent his entire life and two whole books working towards.

The first season of Shadow and Bone consisted of 8 episodes. So we can estimate that the crows had probably less than 4 hours of screen time. And we learned nothing about them, really. They were the mysterious trio that were hired to steal something. And then suddenly S2E1's "Brick by brick" turns into the peak of Kaz's character arc. It takes away the impact and the reasoning behind it.

And the same for Inej. Where is the journey? Where's the trauma that was inflicted by a woman who was truly evil? When we see Inej running into Tante Heleen for the first time in the duology, she freezes. She can't do anything. Are you telling me that the same girl who is so terrified of this woman can face her without a problem?

Again, there's so much of a development here as well. Inej has this realisation and this epiphany about what she wants to do. She wants to hunt down these slavers. She wants to make sure that nobody goes through the same stuff that she did. And when she sees Heleen after that, it's when she slowly starts to lose power over Inej. I mean, she steals the necklace straight from her neck, for crying out loud. Erasing Inej's trauma from S1 was a problem but they dug themselves in a deeper hole by killing off Heleen. She can't go through the journey that she's supposed to. Her entire character arc was just completely erased.

And the thing is, in the duology, Inej still goes through even more hell before she can get free from her indenture. The Ice Court Heist, Van Eck's torture, Dunyasha, etc. And yet... she's free before the start of the heist?

The heist is an important job for each crow. They all have a reason for being there, and they all have something on the line. None of them really think they're going to survive it, but they're trying anyway because, at this point, what do they really have to lose? And for Inej, this is her chance to get the money to leave the barrel. So... are you telling me that she's going to willingly come back to help on a life-threatening job for freedom that she no longer needs? What's going to happen with Kaz now that he's already had that stand-off?

Would love to know because right now I'm as lost as the rest of the book fans.

# she wanted to go to him but stop….

Ladies, are we fatigued this evening? Are we tired

maybe it’s cuz i’m getting older but i’m thoroughly unamused by how every media consumption is being reduced solely to ships and the desire to have people date each other. what’s wrong with friendships. what’s wrong with found family. what’s wrong with roommates. what’s wrong with mentor relationships. why is the end goal of everything to have two+ people be shipped together.

#back on my leverage kick bc its trending on tumblr??? #im not mad tho

i love the part of leverage where someones like ‘hey nate it seems like youre taking this case really personally’ and hes like ‘no im not im so normal everything is so under control’ and then ten minutes later hes like . in a stolen car chugging from a flask getting shot at by the mafia with cops chasing him

leverage is great because it makes real commentary on actual problems and the people behind the scenes do seem to genuinely care about those problems but also it's a show where they faked an alien abduction and one of the main characters sent another character plot-relevant petplay magazines. it's a show where one of the lines from the original finale still haunts me with how true it ultimately is--"justice or order. one day, you are going to have to make that choice"--and it's a show where there's an office parody episode that involves the same character who said that insisting in a straight-to-camera interview that he "loves foreplay." they solved the DB cooper case one time. it rules

Everyone else when they’re undercover during a con: *just standing around* *miming the actions of the job they’re supposed to be doing* “What supervisor, there’s a very valid reason I’m not doing my job, I, uh……”

I've always hated the rule about silence for golf. Like: "Ooh! I'm a golfer! I require perfect concentration and a controlled environment to hit a ball with a stick."

You know what would take REAL SKILL? Loud Golf

Like, golf is already a crime against water tables and humanity, but I'd binge watch a season of Obstacle Golf!

Watching Home Alone is so funny it’s like

Kevin’s mom: *hyperventilating into a paper bag* I can’t believe I left my son home alone, he has to be so terrified, my poor baby boy all alone I need to go get him-

Kevin: *actively planning to commit war crimes*

You can love a character & still admit when they’re wrong. I love Kaz Brekker but I acknowledge his flaws (none, he’s perfect) and I can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) an call him out on his actions (which are always right).

wakanda forever honestly reminded me of how good a marvel movie can be when they create character-driven stories instead of focusing on unfunny jokes and repetitive action sequences

i hope they give lin manuel miranda as hermes a five minute rap solo in the middle of the pjo series where he rhymes words like “god” and “dad bod” together and then percy is like “hamilton? more like hermilton am i right” and then it’s just never acknowledged again
