I Was Today Years Old When I Found Out Mike White Of White Lotus Fame Is Mr Schneebly

I’m calling it now Poseidon is gonna be fucking Ryan Reynalds

Edit: well this aged like milk

If you need a reminder we’re in the darkest timeline look no further than the outline of the adaption of into the woods we could have had back in the 90s

This version also would have had all the creatures in the movie played by puppets made by the Jim Henson company.

WE WERE F@*%#<€$¥ING ROBBED

Why do Taylor Swift music videos just hit different? Like sometimes she’s a silent movie damsel, a goddamn princess or a physical manifestation of toxic relationships that lives in a fairytale mansion, but it’s all just ✨vibes✨

The real reason sense8 slapped so hard and inevitably got cancelled is that it had an anime concept, an epically talented international cast and prominent queer characters whose lives didn’t get sugar coated by the writers

You guys I think I cracked it- I don’t think vecna is going to try and kill will, I think he’ll try to BECOME him.

From what we saw in the flashbacks Henry is described as sensitive, a word also used to describe will (obvious queer coding can’t lie) and they’re both in a sense outsiders even in their own families. Will is also a wizard in dnd, will the wise, whilst vecna is an evil wizard, implying he’s a dark version of will-

If will was taken to the upside down for a reason, which volume 2 is going to establish he was, and he’s part of vecnas plan, then it’s possible 001 wants him as a host body since he’s stuck in the upside down and can’t reach Hawkins physically, only through getting into the minds of his victims.

Maybe Vecna knows will also has the potential to lock into some kind of internal mental power, like he did when he was young, and this whole thing, the stuff with the mind flayer, all of it, has just been to prepare Will as a host body and possess him so he can return to the real world?

Imagine the tragedy of wills friends (MIKE especially!!) looking on as he’s taken over by Vecna and the chaos begins

EDIT: I stand by this theory for season 5 fyi

Every conversation in 1899

Persona A: monologues about identity and the nature of reality and if anything is real and what is god and is our existence purposeful if we’re pursuing a life that is not truly our own

Person B: *nods in dutch

8-year old me watching Aang debating over how to deal with firelord Ozai:

No, but I don’t think you understand, I don’t need therapy I have studio ghibli

I think the thing that’s really striking about the got books as opposed to the show is the way Martin never shies away from how physically damaged everyone is left. In the show Tyrion gets a badass scar but in the books he looses half his nose, Briennes teeth are broken and a chunk of her face is literally bitten out. Theon looks like an old man, his body is completely wrecked -

But they’re still not beyond hope. Their stories don’t finish with the horrible things that happen to them, their scars and deformities, they go on, and it’s not pretty and tragic and romantic like a story

And that’s the whole point.

Every single book in the series makes a point about how violence and war is romanticised in literature and history and Martin makes his character a living testament to the reality of war, the ugliness, the trauma, and that depth is just another thing that got glossed over in the show where people stay pretty and everything that made the books special is watered down.

Let your characters be ugly. Let them get hurt. Let them be scarred, and watch them get up anyway.

This is so deep help-
