Allen Walker Is A Pretty Boy ^^

the devil has and always will be a gentleman. // ice devil slayer!gray fullbuster aesthetic

requested by  @altair-ibn-la-a-hottie

still really want Mace Windu being the one who goes back in time to unfuck All The Things and just IMMEDIATELY being like “goddammit Qui-Gon NO, finish up with your own fucking padawan with the abandonment issues, this one is now Mine, I need him to kill a Sith Lord and also not become a Sith Lord himself. you can see him for Sunday dinners. also clearly you need backup with THIS Sith so I am coming to Naboo with you, you are WELCOME, no I don’t give a fuck what the Senate says.” or whatever while everyone else is like “???? Master Windu wow you seem to feel REALLY STRONGLY about–” and him just “I HAVE HAD A BAD FEELING AND YOU ARE ALL GOING TO LISTEN TO IT, FORCE DAMMIT”. which, the rest of them are like, fair, Jedi bad feelings are pretty important to be listening to. 

meanwhile, FUCK the integrity of the timeline or certain things needing to happen how they happened last time and the usual “time-traveller being all fluttery and panicky about keeping the same relationships with their important people“ thing, Mace Windu is like “um NO, those relationships all ended HORRIBLY??” and is just ruthlessly determined to save as many people as he can, damn the fucking consequences. and also stab Darth Maul. a lot. you can take the Trials like everyone ELSE, Kenobi, and JINN, YOU CAN GO DO YOUR DAMN JOB. 

frankly all that’s still waaaaay more subtlety than I would genuinely expect from a time-travelling Anakin, honestly any “Anakin Skywalker goes back to fix shit” fic that doesn’t IMMEDIATELY turn into him beelining straight for Palpatine and FUCKING STABBING HIM IN THE FUCKING FACE COME HELL OR HIGH WATER clearly has more belief in that man’s self-restraint/self-preservation than I will ever. evvvver. 

Mace actually would like to survive long enough to deal with the remaining corruption and armies and, you know, WAR that would still need cleaned up, himself, so he is by necessity subtler in his machinations and only fantasizes about murdering that Sith bastard in the middle of the damn Senate a LITTLE. Just, like. A biiiit. 

look, “subtle” when compared to Anakin is really ONLY SO SUBTLE. 

Me watching Clone Wars like

Tony Stark and his children

Harley Keener was the son Tony accidentally found. Tony was in a dark place, but there was a kid in Tennessee in need of a new dad. Over the years, they kept in touch, and Tony became the only father figure Harley had ever known.

Peter Parker was the son Tony never meant to have. The kid was always getting himself into trouble, from burning buildings to recklessly confronting bad guys. But as they grew closer, Peter became Tony’s son as much as Harley had been, and Tony became his role model — the person he looked up to the most.

Tony saved the world, partly for Peter. Because that’s just what he did for his children.

Morgan Stark was the daughter Tony wanted. Even though she was the only one related to Tony by blood, she certainly wasn’t his only child. Tony vowed never to make any mistake by her, and he saved the world for her too. He protected her as fiercely as he could, till the very end.

Even though Tony Stark never had a father of his own, he never hesitated to provide support to every single one of his children. Tony loved them in his own way, and they loved him back 3000.

Because no one was a better father than him.

What is guardian drama?

Hello, anon! Guardian 镇魂 is a Chinese live action sci-fi webdrama. It’s about a special investigative department that handles cases related to supernatural criminals from the underworld. The two leads are:

Zhao Yunlan, police chief of the department in question. He’s scruffy, charming, confident in the face of danger, and sharper than he lets on. Outwardly informal to strangers in a way that’s kind of rude. Also, when he’s into someone, he’s a huge flirt.

Shen Wei, university professor.  He’s very mysterious and restrained, and tries his hardest to be all mild-mannered and polite. But he’s actually secretly ~THE BLACK-CLOAKED ENVOY~, an ancient powerful ambassador from the underworld who helps catch abovementioned supernatural criminals.

So, the deal is, Shen Wei has this epic crush on Zhao Yunlan. They have this 10,000-year-old connection that Zhao Yunlan isn’t aware of. Shen Wei would do anything to protect Zhao Yunlan, he’d kill for him and he’d die for him. He is so devoted and self-sacrificing, and you can just see the love in his eyes whenever he looks at Zhao Yunlan. And Shen Wei does this ridiculous stoic woobie thing, where he’s visibly pining and suffering and keeping secrets from Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan is initially wary of Shen Wei..but he’s intrigued by him, and he can tell that Shen Wei is so intense about him even if he doesn’t know why, and their relationship builds over the course of several cases.

Guardian is based on a BL novel by Priest. The drama had to change many elements to get past the Chinese censors - it had to change all the supernatural/fantasy/mythological aspects into sci-fi. Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan are a canon couple in the novel, but the drama had to scale back the m/m romance also because of the censors.

But…it’s very much there. Like, it’s screamingly obvious that Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan are in love and they’re a couple, even if it’s subtext-that’s-pretty-much-text. The chemistry between them is palpable, and you can tell that the writers, cast and crew committed themselves to make this as gay as they possibly could (here’s a fanvid for reference). 

Caveat: this show is not high quality television and obviously had a low budget. Terrible CGI, bad voiceover dubbing, bad acting from most of the characters who are not the leads, the plot and worldbuilding is a mess, ridiculous villains, awful costuming of side and background characters, etc.

But it’s tropey fun if you’re like me and have nostalgia for shows like Torchwood and early New Doctor Who, and the love story between Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan is one of the best things I’ve ever watched onscreen. This is a show that knows the BL fan id, which is ‘hot badass dudes getting hurt and having tender feelings for each other and gently touching each other.’

I’d like to note that this series has a sad ending that verges on being ambiguous, which sucks, but that can easily be headcanoned away. And it helps that Priest (who wrote the original novel) fixed it by connecting it to the novel universe, which does has a happy ending.

A Guide to Some of the Best Queer Asian Shows

The guide includes a show’s basic summary; main genres/tropes/themes and official streaming links (additional info on how to watch at the end of this post)! You can find some content warnings in the reply section of this post. Shows are listed by countries, numbered by the order I recommend watching in, not by rating. All shows have happy endings unless specified otherwise. The list will hopefully be updated regularly (last updated on 04/04/2024, 98 queer shows in total).

Most shows are about mlm, I specify with coloured notes those that are focused on wlw, polyamory, aromantism/asexuality, etc.

Tumblr does not allow large texts or more than 30 images per post at the moment, so you can click on every country’s list to expand them and view them fully in a separate post. You can access this guide in a google doc here.

Hear me out, it’s not accurate but fuck off, Thanos snaps and Bucky is gone. But ya’ boy Winter isn’t. Winter who doesn’t give a fuuuuuck about the people he’s with; afterall, these are the people that Bucky connected with, not him. He does dig the new arm though.

Everyone, that survived anyway, is treating him with kiddy gloves. Until Tony-Fucking-Stark crash lands a spaceship into Wakanda territory and is the only one who reacts to the Soldier. (“What the fuck is this? Barnes minus the actual Bucky? Great.”). And Winter likes it. He likes the standoffish attitude, and obviously can’t take a hint, so he sticks to Tony like a shadow while they’re trying to figure out how to do this whole “un-snap” thing.

When Tony finally snaps and demands to know why the fuck Winter is following him 24/7 the answer is simple. “You treat me like me, not some broken toy missing a piece.”
