Games the Leverage crew is not allowed to play and why

Breaking Bad 3.08 | I See You

me in a nursing home lol

One of my favorite whump tropes that gets seriously overlooked is when the healer is desperately rushing to their injured teammates and gets shot down or squared up on by the villain and they had no chance against them

It gets better…

"He field-stripped a fir tree."

“Macbeth shall never vanquished be until / great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill / shall come against him” kind of energy

reason number 1000 why marines are the best XD

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

before i say what i'm gonna say, i need everyone to know that 1. i love dustin. and 2. i do not like seeing any of the younger teens get hurt

that being said

i need dustin to get punched in the face ONCE

HEAR ME OUT!

it always ALWAYS rubbed me the wrong way when dustin scolded steve for not taking the russian base torture "like a man" or for letting the drugs overpower him. that pisses me off so bad every time i watch that episode

the only injury dustin has gotten from the past three years has been a sprain/broken ankle, but he has never gotten into an altercation with anyone, person or monster, and i need it to happen season 5

if we do get the time skip, he might be at the same age steve was when he fought with johnathan in s1. i really need to have that come back full circle just so he can appreciate how much steve has protected him from harm

I agree, I have a son very like Dustin. And when he moves up to secondary school he WILL get punched in the face. It’s not an IF but a WHEN. And when he does I will have the mega med kit I have on standby [my accident prone daughter and myself’s]. And I am shocked it has not happened to Dustin yet, love him but he needs to appreciate how much Steve protects and cares for him. Side note, didn’t Dustin electrocute that Russian? Has he processed that yet or has he compartmentalised Russians with the monsters so they’re not human??

on the surface, the russian/scoop troop storyline was very fun and colorful.

on the a deeper level that the writers refuse to delve into, THOSE KIDS SHOULD BE TRAUMATIZED

they just swept all that shit under the fucking rug. steve getting tortured, steve and robin getting drugged, erica finding out all this upside down shit that has happened, dustin killing a man!?

it's all been taken as a joke and i think that's a real disservice to those characters, there should be consequences to the things they witness, not just will or el. all of these people should be showing signs of trauma and how to deal with the aftermath.

this is how we got a real underwhelming reaction to eddie's death in the final episode of season 4. no one but dustin seemed to give a shit and that's not fair because they were all invested in proving his innocence.

The Outfit (2022): “He’s Losing Too Much Blood.”

Matt Damon explains why they don’t make movies like they used to. Pls watch.

This is actually a really good perspective and explains why the MCU is the way it is. It is essentially one-off entertainment without the backup of DVD sales (of course Disney being Disney it is still backed up by massive merchandise and spin off sales). The movie is designed to be “disposable”. The rewatch value is low because it’s not intended to be sold on DVD for people to treasure and rewatch every year at Christmas (or whenever) with family. The idea is to generate hype, through manufacturing controversy or teases or gossip. Keeping spoilers under wrap is integral because the rewatch value is negligible. It hinges on surprise or shock (or wtf value) to entice audiences to give up their money to see it in theatres. It is about spectacle, about being loud and colourful and busy, so that for the first 30 minutes after you walk out your senses are still buzzing and you feel like that was worth your $30 or however much. It takes a while for your brain to come back online after the sensory overload to then try to pick apart the plot, and by that stage it doesn’t matter, you’ve already hyped it up to your friends.

And the story or characterisation doesn’t matter because no one is watching that again to care.

and i just read in fellowship of the rings  chapter IV, the hobbits are talking before theyve met any of the other fellowship and theyre basically like “oh, sam, you have good ears! do you hear anything?” 

LIke… put that up next to the post above…. 

LOL

legolas is such an important character to me because of how at a surface level when you first watch the movies you see him as this aloof mystical tactical elf-prince but then when you really start getting into his lore you realise he’s essentially just some homeschooled kid from the middle of nowhere who applied to a huge university in the big city to get away from home and is genuinely baffled at everything he sees and people assume his confusion is him being mysterious when in reality half the time he’s just trying to process what the hell is going on

theyre,, not wrong

If Lord of the Rings was made today (Macy64x on r/lotrmemes/)

I'm cackling but it's also so true... kind of sad about the modern state of filmmaking

Keanu Reeves’s career is so funny to me. Like these are the movies he’s famous for:

This is amazing

Don’t think about how Wayne was the one who found Chrissy’s body. He came back from his night shift, probably tired and worn out, slightly concerned when he noticed that Eddie’s van wasn’t there. Then he noticed that the trailer door wasn’t closed properly, and when he stepped inside his home, he found this girl. This young girl he didn’t know, in a cheerleader uniform, with cracked limbs and her eyes cut out and blood smeared across her cheeks and a deformed jaw. Don’t think about what it’s like to find something like that in your own living room. Don’t think about how horrified he must have been. And don’t think about how worried he must have been for his nephew, one hundred percent sure that he would never ever do something like this, that he must be alone and terrified somewhere Wayne couldn’t find him. And please don’t think about how he called the cops because that was the only thing he could do, because he had no choice, even though he knew exactly what that would set in motion for Eddie.

EDIT: I felt bad because of all the upset people in the tags so I wrote something to fix it. You can read it here.

joe keery working out is something that can actually be so personal

it's 2022 and i'm still bitter that never enough has more love than tightrope

praying that disney doesn't mess up my boys
