Love that Tim Drake is the kind of person who's entire life is on fire and he's like yes. A list will fix this. And then generates the most depressing list the world has ever scene while like, 90's skateboarding shredder music plays in his brain because he's soooo nailed it and this is totally gonna fix his life this time.

9-1-1 (2018–) 6.17 “Love is in the Air”
kurt vonnegut wrote "so it goes" and didn't even care that it would live in the back of my mind for the rest of my life
kurt vonnegut: and Lot's wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. but she did look back, and i love her for that, because it was so human. so she was turned to a pillar of salt. so it goes. people aren't supposed to look back. i'm certainly not going to do it anymore.
me reading that at 15:
saying “i wouldn’t be a good parent” is a morally neutral statement and i’m sick of whenever i say it people replying “noo no you’d be a GREAT mother i know you would!!!” like… no! being a good parent requires a certain set of skills and traits and i know that i don’t have them and that’s a good thing!!! i think people should figure out if they would be good parents BEFORE having kids and maybe we’d have less shitty parents in the world! fuck!

“And during this recent interview in Manhattan, [Braugher] dwells on his two passions: his family and his work. What fuels that love for acting? “It’s an emotional release,” he explains — an outlet that might otherwise lie beyond his reach. “Men are not usually forthcoming in the expression of their emotions.” Growing up in a rough Chicago neighborhood, he was blessed with loving and demanding parents. “But I was socialized in a certain way. Even as a kid there’s no real suitable outlet for emotions that don’t fall within a certain small range: anger, lust, ridicule — Army emotions, I call them.” Then, at Stanford University as an engineering major, he helped out a friend by filling a vacant role in a campus play. He liked it — a lot. He had found a new major, and an unexpected calling. “As an actor, I’m allowed — encouraged! — to explore emotions that have been basically unacceptable in my life. I have a huge well of emotional stuff, and once I give myself permission as an actor, it all comes to the surface. But I’ll be damned if I can give myself permission to bring it out as a man.“ “As a father,” Braugher goes on, looping back to one passion from the other, “I’ve tried to encourage my children to have a broader and deeper emotional life than I’ve had. I want my sons to be able to express their feelings about things,” he says with feeling he seems fully able to express.”

I read this interview over a decade ago now and the concept of “Army emotions” is still key to helping me understand what men deal with in terms of toxic masculinity.

I just saw a picture from the inception set I haven’t seen before and it almost gave me an aneurysm I’m actually not sure if I should post it because I don’t want to cause a dash-wide breakdown like last time

As for myself, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The creature spared our lives, and in return I honored her with my absolute silence. Some things, no matter how magnificent they are, are best left alone. And as to whether I'd ever see her again, the answer is yes. But that's another story.

awww, of course it's gale out of all the companions who learns lae'zel's language and calls her his zhak vo'n'fynh duj when he romances her 🥹
honestly, i wish when i was a kid adults had said to me "lying is a thing most people do quite a bit of in social situations, its going to be useful to know how and when to do it, because if you dont you will often seem rude and offputting" instead of just "its bad to lie dont lie" because. guess who often seems rude and offputting.

Gale and Minthara Epilogue Conversation
Gale: I refuse to believe you still don't know my name after all we went through together.
Nightwarden Minthara: Your tressym is called Tara and she dislikes your beard. She is wrong - it is a fine beard. Dashing, even.
Nightwarden Minthara: You enjoy travel and adventure, but miss Waterdeep whenever you are away. This is because your mind is restless, and can only find peace in familiar places.
Nightwarden Minthara: Your ambition is not cruel, but you fear that if you indulge it, you will lose yourself in the mysteries of the Weave and unravel the world.
Nightwarden Minthara: You are afraid of so many things, and it is that fear that keeps you true to yourself.
Nightwarden Minthara: I know a great deal about you, Gale Dekarios. And that is precisely why I know how enjoyable it is to tease and befuddle you.

Jamie Bell repurposed
Was watching "The Eagle of the Ninth" with my hubby and realised what a perfect Orym Jamie Bell was. A gorgeous pocket-sized guy with jug-ears and a dancer's build - all he needed was a bit more eyebrows, pointy ears, and a slightly rounder nose, and there we were! He even had a tattoo on his right arm in the movie, and approximately a 31 perception.
It also didn't hurt that most of the ref shots I found of Jamie Bell online were from @shirtlessmoviestv. XD
