one thing about kaladin is that he loves a dramatic entrance. absolutely fucking loves it. his Herald ass is about to touch down on Roshar sooooo dramatically with Syl in circa 10 years after being presumed dead. levels of drama never before seen. The Duel put to shame. he's gonna be wearing his cape
Tbh spyxfamily and vicious (v. e. schwab) are the exact same shit like you get the sexy malewife, the strong sensitive partner, the overly powerful kid that was rescued/adopted earlier in the story and the huge dog that becomes her emotional support
The amount of guns in the same. The amount of death is NOT
Kevin: *in the middle of the most important match of the year, and shoots the first goal of the match*
The rest of the Foxes: *stop playing* YAS KWEEN
Opposing team: ???
Well NOW I do 🙃
Do u guys ever think about how Neil was so quick to put a hit on Grayson because he wasn’t fast enough to hit drake
"tragedies: the love was there"
@courtstow10
Honestly if I was playing against foxes I would just withdraw and let them win cuz no way in hell I’m playing against three people charged w murder AND one of them being son of mass murderer like no thank you, I’m good👍🏻
some of my favorite things about Anora in no particular order (SPOILERS BELOW):
the goons, wow what all timer movie goons. concussed guy for goon of the year
when anora beats the shit out of those goons for a fifteen minute stretch and they get increasingly more afraid of her. comedy gold, just pitch perfect comedy treading the line between should-i-be-worried-for-her and the disarming buffoonery of the goons
ivan's mom stomping on the last step of the private jet stairs. her incredible houndstooth suit. every second of her on screen.
all of them throwing the pens at the annulment woman
ivan's dad dying laughing during the annulment as anora throws all of the moms shit on the ground
every parking in new york joke from the ticket in front of the courthouse to getting towed down on brighton beach
how the entire time, nobody pulls out a weapon, not once. and yet, the threat of violence and danger still lingers in the periphery because of the deftly constructed tension of the roving camera and contextually what we don't know about this family and the broader scope of ivan's world and the looming threat of the parents. how far can she push the goons until they get violent, and yet they never really do, but baker never lets you exhale that breath.
when they walked into tatianas..... like sean does his RESEARCH
also the t.A.T.u needle drop like i screamed
also the fight over driving or walking for five minutes in the cold. the new york specificity in this movie is pinpoint accurate, down to the mundane
the ending, her having a breakdown release of everything that had happened to her and how humiliated she was, but also how she thought she had gotten out and made a fairytale of her life. how using her body was the only power she has ever had, and how that was what she defaulted to with Igor in that last scene, but it was when he wanted to kiss her that the facade of power broke down and so did she. how she had to face her own humanity, and in that moment ask herself if she wanted to kiss him, because he was giving her perhaps her first real choice in a long time, and that opened a pathway to maybe questioning whether she truly wanted any of what had happened to her. maybe in that moment she realized that her body is not as powerful as she perhaps convinced herself it was. she was far more powerless than all her bravado and will probably always be powerless in the socioeconomic systems of the world that are built up around her. how disposable she was made to feel maybe for the first time, and how she thought she had built up that bravado and detached arrogance around herself so that she would never feel that way, but the feeling still seeped through nonetheless. all of that delivered wordlessly, in silence, buried under the falling white snow that will throw a white, pristine blanket over everything as if nothing significant had happened at all.
but also like igor, i too would fall in love with her almost instantly and tbh i did. rip to Ivan, anora i am hopelessly in love with you, and i would die for you.
[The crew is being asked what love is to them]
Leo: What do I think love is? Uh It's like when someone makes your stomach feel all tight, but floaty at the same time, you know? And your cheeks hurt from smiling. And you smile so much that people think something's wrong with you.
Hazel: Love is light. Acceptance. Fire.
Reyna: Pain. Horrible pain. That you want again and again.
Leo: And also, fucking. Twenty-four seven, can't-walk-right fucking.
Jason: Ah! It's just chilling, you know? Kicking it with somebody, talking, making mad stupid jokes. And, like, not even wanting to go to sleep, 'cause then you might be without 'em for a minute. And you don't want that.
Nico: Why are you asking me that? You shouldn't be talking to me.
Piper: Okay, it's like getting into a bath, but the water is like warm chocolate pudding. And The Smiths are playing "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out". Oh. There's warm lighting all over and there're like five dudes massaging you.
Annabeth: And you have a pizza.
Piper: She's right. And you also have a pizza.
Frank: Hey! It's like you become more you. Which normally is like [Makes explosion noises] But now it's okay Because the person, like, whoever, they chose to take all that on. All that weird stuff. Whatever's wrong or bad or hiding in you. Suddenly it's all right. You don't feel like such a freak anymore.
Percy: It's like coming home after a long trip. That's what love is like. It's like coming home.
What started as a joke between myself and @kings-dream became and actual thing that has an obscene amount of views and absolutely lovely feedback, please enjoy my ‘AFTG characters as vines’ compilation video (more AFTG and other books to come).

I love Derrick and Derek and how they treat Jean
