The funny thing about “”contrived”” Les Mis headcanons like “Cosette and Enjolras are related” is that they’re actually completely plausible??? Because in Brick-canon EVERYONe in Les Mis turns out to be secretly related in some Contrived way???
Like in the actual Brick Valjean returns to Paris with adult Cosette, only to (coincidence!) be ambushed by Cosette’s former ‘’caretakers’’ the Thenardiers, who are parents to Gavroche, and Gavroche (out of all of Paris) manages to find and ‘’adopt’’ two young street urchins who he doesn’t know jUST HAPPEN to be his younger brothers, who were living with Magnon, who was Gillenormand’s mistress, who was Marius’ grandmother, who was the son of Baron Pontmercy, whose life was “saved” by Thenardier, who is the father of Eponine, who is in love with Marius, who had a cousin named Theodule, who Cosette briefly had a crush on, and Cosette is the daughter of Valjean, who has run-ins with Javert, who just happens to be the police officer who saves him from the Thenardier’s ambush!!!!!
“These characters can’t be related, it’s too Contrived!” hA but it’s exactly the brand of Contrived™ that ol Coincidence-Loving Vicky Hugo would be proud of
Thunderstorms mixed with monsoons because Thor and Indra are having some kind of deity equivalent of a water balloon fight.
Hela and Persephone drinking Pomegranate and Chocolate liquor while discussing their love lives. (… and trying not to discuss their fathers. At all.)
Bragi, Brigid, and Minerva trying to see who can inspire prettier art/poetry… And they all can’t choose and Bragi winds up as a spider, Minerva as a flame, and Brigid as one of her own anvils until they all agree to call the whole thing off.
Jesus and Dionysus comparing instant-wine recipes and notes at a party. (Even CS Lewis would smile at this one do not start.)
Loki sneaking catnip into the offering bowl and later seeing if a laser pointer will work on Bast and Sekmet. (And it did.)
You are still a man. In fact, you are the manliest of men. Do you know how few dudes there are in the world who could even deal with all the shit involved in menstruation?? You are a studly, ass-kicking, chocolate-murdering motherfucking M A N because people with periods are fucking badass and don’t forget that shit!!!
Has anyone written the G1 au yet where the war basically ended on Cybertron during the 4 million year disappearance time because I feel like the sheer comedic potential is There
Megatron: I trust you have been successful in defending Cybertron from the puny Autobots
Shockwave, trying not to look at Greenlight who is under the console making faces at him: Yes… of course, my lord
shockwave reporting that they took casualties in an unexpected maneuver but really he’s just talking about the bots vs cons cybermario kart tournament that went down the other day
elita thinks about telling optimus the truth but then reports in for the first time. sees what’s going down on earth. decides she better not do that, actually
just. a scene of a mixed faction group vibing and working to restore some of the planet’s wildlife. cut to the groups on earth fighting for their lives
oh but I adore how everyone in this stupid pirate show is just a guy
I haven’t seen ppl talk about it much but. the absolute lack of shredded abs. people show tummy and cleavage and there’s not the barest hint of muscle definition anywhere
obviously some of them are very fit but it never leaves “works a physically demanding job and happens to be naturally thin” territory
and guys are fat! guys have bellies and rounded shoulders and chubby cheeks and imperfect teeth and thinning hair and are styled weirdly (that’s a whole different post but the crew especially look so unprofessional styled it’s great)
and they are still all hot! they are hot and desirable and find each other hot and desirable and I love that
I love to see it! nobody in this show looks like they had a personal trainer. and not just the side characters, not just a token fat guy - obv Taika Waititi is the most beautiful man you’ve ever seen and that little bit of tummy pudge spilling out of his crop top made us all lose our collective minds. but it’s everyone else too; and it’s not the extend of it either. no other show would have let black pete within 10 feet of a romance arc, much less been this sweet and sincere about it
this show is so comfortable with the human body in all it’s glorious imperfection and I am in love with it
