my Mexican dad before we went to go see Wakanda Forever: so Namor, it means like “no love”? Is that part of his character?
me: no dad, that’s just been the character’s name since 1939.
Namor in the movie: so I took that as my name, “Namor,” the child without love!
my dad:
New Girl | Last Thanksgiving (S06, E07)
Maverick: You look to me as if I am the one at fault
Jester: Well, I'm not going to look at Kazansky
Iceman: *Was actually Ice's idea and talked Mav into plan* I tried to tell him Commander, he just wouldn't listen
Ice is napping on the couch, with Baby Goose asleep on his chest, his little hands wrapped around Ice's shirt, and one of Ice's hands on the kid's back to keep him from falling down.
Mav snaps a picture.
Just wondering, did anyone else think that this is what the psychic meant when she said that Rebecca was going to be a mother?
The fact that Ted Lasso cut away from Colin coming out to the team, after we hear him saying he doesn’t want to be a “spokesperson”, is so powerful to me. As much as I love queer representation in media, I feel like sometimes there is this hyper-focus on the coming out scenes, as the pinnacle of the queer experience that get thrust into the spotlight for the emotional payout from the audience.
That may resonate for some people, as coming out is obviously a big thing and can feel like a spotlight moment. But I feel like there are a lot of people out there whose greatest wish is for coming out to not be a thing. To not be a big moment. To not have to be a spokesperson.
And I love that Ted Lasso gave Colin that.
listen. i was yelling about this yesterday and i need to yell about it again.
im forever now thinking about how goose is basically canonized in top gun.
he's held up as this untouchable memory and bradley grows up both in the shadow of that, as well as trying to become that but hes not gonna be bc goose is a memory. hes stuck in time. he can be canonized to that extent because he will never change. he will never grow and make mistakes and that is sad. it is a tragic loss, a pure accident and nothing more. and it was so long ago that time has smoothed the rougher edges he has because goose was human. and bradley??
bradley will never be goose bc goose is long gone but people still look at him and think about his dad first in a lot of ways.
and like.
sure, there are parts of him that are his father bc goose is his dad, and there is some aspect of nature involved. and at which point does he end and goose begins and does he ever stand the chance of knowing when that is?
especially when his godfather looks at him with guilt in his eyes first and love second, even though he tries. and his mom (as far as we can tell) never moves on from that love?
bradley's been in both of their lives so much longer than goose ever did, but hes secondary to goose. they love him, and support him but the way they deal with things regarding bradley feels like they aren't seeing him. they're seeing the same ghost that hovers behind bradley and they're making decisions based on that.
their grief drives them. love for sure as well. but so much grief and that grief is once again used to put bradley secondary.
goose died in a freak accident so that means bradley needs to be saved. it doesn't matter what bradley wanted. it doesn't matter that a child can have the same dreams as their parents and not want to walk the same path. its not bradley trying to be a memory. its someone who grew u around that world and still wanted it.
and like, pulling the papers was never about bradley. it wasn't about wanting him to not join a system that would chew him up and spit him out. or talk about the very real dangers that come with the job, or how isolating it can be because of the travel involved.
they pulled the papers because they didn't want him to become goose. even when they claim to want to protect bradley. they are using the memory of goose to make it happen.
bradley never stood a chance of growing up without that shadow and it kinda makes me sad. hes haunting the narrative in so many ways, but hes also dragging bradley down as well.
obsessed with jamie correcting everyone. i can picture him reading in his free time so he can enter his “well, actually” era
the scariest scene for me in the show is when annabeth is aggressive toward the police officer. i was so afraid for her life. because she doesn't know to be wary. because she and her dad never had that conversation. hand downs. scariest scene.
