Don Quixote obliterated a film genre
The real reason you couldn’t make Airplane! today is that it’s a parody of a type of movie that doesn’t exist anymore in part because Airplane! made fun of it so hard
i feel like we dont talk enough about how two of the most decorated female hockey players ever, one a former captain for team canada and the other for the usa, fell in love and had a baby together
Ok the part about tinkers and steampunk got me thinking what would tinkers do in like medieval times or like hunter gatherer times. Like I know in scions interlude it talks about Earth being the ideal time for powers in early 2000s and I guess this is why. Also for 1800s would there just be a tinker with a regular modern day pistol?
Worm but it takes place during a cicada year and/or in the 1800s when there were mile long swarms of locusts or just like have a tinker genetic engineer locusts back into existence
Taylor really deserved the name Pestilence and this is exactly why.
also, I would highly dig an 1800’s au. like, imagine: the undersiders are a merry band of outlaws and they pull off the bank robbery like a classic wild west holdup. Foil would be an Annie Oakley-style sharpshooter. I wonder how the tinkers would operate without advanced tech? steam-powered machinery, obviously. this is now an 1800’s steampunk western worm au
This is how the golden age of piracy ended.

Daughter of fantasy villains decides to rebel against her parents by actually going through with her arranged marriage to a local golden retriever of a prince instead of running off with some local villain-to-be or conquering said golden retriever’s kingdom and ruling it solo like her parents expect her to. Plus, sue her, she’s into the clean-cut earnest look.
At the same time, local prince charming discovers that he’s actually very into the gothic fiance his parents have landed him with in order to try and establish peace with the local evil lair down the lane, he would never have guessed a spiderweb pattern could look so fetching on a ball gown…?
Meanwhile, two pairs of parents in a tizzy because they both expected their offspring to whole-heartedly reject this union and give them an excuse to conquer their goody-two-shoes/evil neighbours, they’re not supposed to actually like each other-!
Yeah I know about Neuman but I still feel like in the show Vought’ll have their own comic Black Noir who can kill Homelander
I enjoy The Boys but one major problem I have with it is that it’s so hard to compare strengths to other settings, like we never see Homelander challenged so we have no clue how’d he fair against others which I get is maybe sorta the point with it being like him as a medium fish on a small pond but it’s still annoying
i should tell you guys that i woke up in a cold sweat at 2:30 this morning to write something down in notes app

If Percy Jackson rated the Greek Gods:
Zeus: 4/10 has tried to kill me several times but did make Thalia and my bro Jason
Hera: -10/10 erased my memories and hates my girlfriend
Poseidon: 100/10 that’s my pabby
Demeter: 7/10 seems pretty chill, wanted me to eat cereal so she cares about my nutritional well-being I guess
Ares: 0/10 tried to fight me when I was 12 very aggressive
Athena: 6/10 can be helpful but also very scary when you date her daughter
Apollo: 5/10 very self-absorbed but has calmed down since he got acne
Artemis: 7/10 very cool but tried to take away Annabeth
Hephaestus: 8/10 helped us out but also sent us into an active volcano so mixed feelings
Aphrodite: 6/10 said she was going to make sure my love life was interesting and oh boy did she deliver. I do like Piper though so she gets points for that
Hermes: 9/10 awesome, hasn’t even tried to kill me once, sent me to Paris on a date, has dope snakes
Dionysus: 2/10 can get a better score when he learns my name
