Like do people realize how much this casting enriched Annabeth’s character? I never bought that “people don’t respect me because I’m blonde” schtick. But girls of color, and specifically black girls being underestimated? That’s real life.
Also, and equally important, black girls are going to get to see themselves as the smartest and most capable person in the room AND also the most beautiful girl in the world to the main character.
They are both in the mob, Tony is supposed to be undercover with the assignment to kill Steve after he gets certain information from him, he falls in love instead. Steve knows what Tony is upto, but never reveals that he does.
Steve is extremely depressed and revels in the idea of dying by Tony’s hand because he thinks it might be how he finds peace with himself, while Tony spirals further and further because he’s being blackmailed by Obie.
“In both novels I’ve written there’s been one character who has turned up and said to me, ‘It’s OK. Relax. I’ve got this.’ In Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell it was Childermass. Whenever he appeared in a scene I felt like he pulled up a chair for me to sit down, made me a cup of tea, and told me he would handle everything. And then he pretty much wrote the scene for me. I loved Childermass. (I still do.) In Piranesi there was a character a little bit like that, but he was a very different person from Childermass and I didn’t exactly love him. It was the Prophet. When the Prophet appeared he waved me airily aside and then just wrote his own dialogue. I had to type really fast to keep up. And when he had finished, he looked round and smiled, like he was saying, ‘That’s the way it’s done.’ And then he strutted off.”

Ran and Shinichi aka the Heiji Protection Squad because that dumbass (*affectionate*) obviously cannot protect his precious lips by himself. (Those are reserved for Kazuha-chan, and Ran and Shinichi agree.)
The saga of Shinichi and Heiji being the best bros continues. Shinichi managed to pay Heiji back for his earlier save. A bro will cockblock flirty Kyoto kids for their bro. (ALSO LOOK AT THAT CHEEKY SMIRK. NOTHING PERSONAL MOMIJI, IT’S JUST THAT SHINICHI HAS INVESTED SO MUCH IN HIS SHIP THAT NOONE WILL GET IN THE WAY. LISTEN HE (AND RAN) THREW A CASE JUST SO HEIJI COULD CONFESS. THEY TAKE RELATIONSHIP DRAMA SERIOUSLY.)
Would also be really annoying if they wore heat resistant gloves to throw back the hot tear gas canisters and if this got shared to all those protesting…
Would be a further shame if people started covering cameras (as seen in Hong Kong, with protestors using poles and rakes to lift cardboard boxes over security cameras), blinding drone optics with laser pointers, and flooding police-run reporting apps with junk data.
It would be a shame if the protesters noted that plainclothes cops can be identified a number of ways, such as wearing steel-toed boots; an armband or wristband of a particular color; driving white, black, or dark blue cars with concealed lights; or having the outline of cuffs visible in the back pocket or the bumps of an armor vest’s shoulder straps under their shirt.
It would be a shame if the protesters began making their signs out of inch-thick plywood to stop rubber bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters. It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over the heads of the front line will be bounced away. It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hardback books, and ceramic tiles.
It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top) upside-down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain tear gas by placing them over the canisters.
It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving and what routes they intend to take. It would be a shame if they discovered that these scanners can be used to send as well as receive, allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise.
absolutely LOVING the fact that snw is following the bonkers vibes of tos. character narration. an officer lying through their ass to the doctor. an infection that makes people act strangely. sending the captain on away missions. trying not to panic when he is inevitably put in danger bc of it.
Aiden and Lambert met in the very typical dog/cat fashion. It started out because Aiden saw the wolf, and he darted away. Lambert, in typical pup behaviour, thought Aiden was initiating a game of chase. So he bounded after the cat witcher, who was entirely convinced that Lambert was trying to catch him and kill him. The chase occurred in the middle of the afternoon in a small town. The people of the town jumped out of the way when they could to avoid being barrelled over by two large witchers, one looking rather terrified and the other grinning ear to ear. It ended with Lambert catching Aiden. They tousled and rolled around in the mud, and then Lambert sat on Aiden’s hips and declared that he’d won. Then he offered Aiden a hand up, and he told Aiden that he had to buy them drinks since he lost the game of chase. Aiden was just glad to have kept his life, so he’d buy this absolutely insane (and ruggedly handsome) wolf anything he wanted. They have a drink and a conversation, and then they’re joined at the hip forever after.
i really appreciate the sheer amount of fantasy horror elements that sam raimi managed to fit into a 2 hour movie. we got witches, sorcerers, magic spells, rituals by candlelight, gruesome death scenes, prophecies, demons, monsters, spirits, possessions, doppelgangers, zombies, etc etc and i loved every bit of it
