I know we’ve all been talking about Assad and his micro expressions, but his transition here from incredulity and offense, into the smallest moment of pain and vulnerability, almost instantly replaced by blank passivity… they even timed the rising of the chair with the tiniest fall of his smile.
For a moment, just a moment, it looks like he might cry and then an avalanche of trauma and insecurity buries it all in a flash. Assad is just out here EMBODYING Armand and it’s both awe inspiring and heart wrenching. I cannot praise his performance enough.
This is not including all the children who are lifeless underneath the rubble and not including the ones that were obliterated to the point where they cannot be identified. Free Palestine

iwtv casting is driving me crazy it’s like they collected the world’s most devastating prettyboys and put them in a toxic vampire polycule spanning several centuries and then the actors took that and made it their personal mission to absorb these gay vampires into their bloodstream to the point that actual news outlets are joking about sam reid’s body being used as a vessel by lestat de lioncourt. you simply don’t get this anywhere else
9 reasons to watch KinnPorsche
Bonus:
"If you were actually in that much pain you'd be screaming in agony" well, the thing is, screaming takes energy and so does being in pain, and I also have other shit to do, you know. I think people only have the context of pain as being an acute concept, like stubbing your toe...something that comes and then gets better. You kinda get used to chronic pain, but it never stops hurting. You just learn to exist with it, because you don't have another choice
I have seen that post about Maedhros being found in Moria by the Fellowship after being woken up by the longest unvoluntary nap ever. And yes, I know "Archaeology", anfic on a similar premise.
But today I wouldlike to linger on the comedic aspects of "the Fellowship expected a Balrog to come, but instead First Era Maedhros Feanorian appeared, albeit slightly charred, and now the Fellowship is adding a 10th member to the Fellowship".
For the sake of story I am still gonna say that Gandalf fell down the bridge, because ACTUALLY there was a Balrog.
Anyway the Fellowship minus Gandalf and plus Maedhros waltz in Lothlorien giving Galadriel a whole new range of emotions.
"I WAS EXPECTING GANDALF YOU ALL HAVE BROUGHT BACK A WAR CRIMINAL FROM AN ERA BYGONE AND ALSO MY COUSIN THRICE REMOVED."
Maedhros picking up IMMEDIATELY on the effect that the Ring is having on everyone and having a heart-to-heart with everyone and explaining the whole Silmarillion ordeal.
"Yikes." Everyone nods in agreement to the sentiment epressed by the Hobbits.
As an extra layer Mae asks if they are bound by any oath. "No, Elrond was quite insisting that we would NOT swear ANY oath."
Cue Mae crying.
Somehow Sam clicks immediately with Maedhros and when Frodo leaves the Fellowship Sam is already there all geared up for literal war and with all advice and tips on how to effectively kill orcs.
Somehow Merry and Pippin manage to make Mae smile. Their next mission is to make him laugh.
This reminds him of the Ambarussa. Mae cries again.
Gollum will underestimate that and it will be his doom.
"No Mr.Frodo, Sir Maedhros explained to us very clearly what happens with cursed artifacts, we are leaving Gollum here. Sir Maedhros was so kind, he explained to me everything I need to know."
Boromir lives, because killing Orcs turns out way easier with someone who can instill in them the very fear of the Valar.
Saruman has an incredibly short span.
"Oh? A palantir? My father's invention? Here? Yeah, I am gonna take that."
Somehow everything is a little easier?
Gimli crying because somehow he heard (ancient) Khuzdul from an Elf and now Maedhros has to understand since when Dwarves and Elves do not get along.
The company coming back to Imladris and causing Elrond to break down crying uncontrollably and in a very undignified manner.
"Lindir" hears the cries and when he sees Mae he's crying as well. It is revealed that "Lindir" is actually Maglor.
When the last ship sails for Valinor, the Valar grant M&M to come back due to repentance and various services in aid to destroying the Ring.
Galadriel is still not over the fact that MAEDHROS FEANORIAN was in Lothlorien and she could not even slap him.
At least in Valinor M&M can now hug mama Nerdanel and stay with her. Eventually all brothers will be reimbodied.

List of “they’re fake dating but are crossing way too many lines to be considered fake anymore” prompts
Character A’s arm around Character B’s waist, subconsciously keeping them close; glaring at people who try to get close to Character B.
Heart twisting uncomfortably in Character A’s chest when they see Character B’s eyes lighting up when they’re talking to someone else, so much so Character A has to tear their eyes away to calm themselves down. The reminder of fake, fake, fake repeats in Character A’s head.
Seeking for Character B’s hand subconsciously, intertwining their fingers, palm pressed against palm; snug and warm, the feeling of never wanting to let go almost overwhelming. But this is fake be damned — for now, it’s all about the comfort. (It becomes a habit.)
Drunken kisses. God, the drunken kisses, with Character B’s fingers in Character A’s hair and Character B perched in their lap, kissing them with no restraint; things getting heated, Character A’s hands slipping under Character B’s shirt and earning a slight shiver from them. All the while, Character A could only wish Character B would kiss them like this when they’re sober. Character A lets that thought linger until they both fall asleep in each other’s arms after kissing way too many times to count because they can’t seem to get enough of each other.
Late night phone calls or endless text messages at two in the morning, never wanting the conversation to end. It makes Character A wonder, but they stop themselves before these thoughts spiral out of their control.
The thoughts of wanting Character B in a way they can’t have them becomes more frequent. They know it’s only going to break them by thinking like this, but they continue to entertain the idea of it; of how it would be like to call Character B theirs, for real. (It’s unhealthy, so fucking unhealthy, but they can’t help it.)
Kisses becoming longer; more desperate, more passionate, with no need for alcohol. It burns to have Character B kiss them like they mean it; like there’s supposed to be something there, but they push it down because this is fake. It’s fake. This is all an act. (Character A convince themselves, at least for a little while more.)
Gazing at each other like they’re in love with each other, even though the both of them know they’re not in love with each other (or maybe denial is more blissful than they realise?).
Fighting with each other hurts more than it should; it dissolves into tears, slamming doors shut and heart aches that wouldn’t have happened if they didn’t agree to this stupid fake dating thing.
And then it all comes to a head one day, tearful and angry confessions on the tips of their tongues. (And by God, are they so dramatic about it, too.)
B: “Why are you doing this to us? We— we were doing so good—”
A: “Because this is supposed to be fake, but I’m falling for you and I’m fucking terrified I’m never going to be able to catch myself. Because I’m falling for you and you don’t feel the same and everything in me screams for me to run away, but I can’t because it’s you.”
B: “…And who the fuck says I don’t feel the same?”
