The Jedi Upside down handstand scene in Episode 5 gets me every time and I think it would be really funny if it was just something Yoda makes everyone in his lineage do. No, the other Jedi Mastera didn't have to do it. Yes, Yoda made Qui-Gon and Dooku do it too. Yes, he has photos.
Eddie who hasn’t uninstalled his ring cameras hearing Tommy call him gay in his own house
Dick Tim Damian and Jason getting carried away during an all out sibling argument that breaks out during a public gala and they forget they have an audience to the point where Damian starts spitting his ‘i am the blood son of Bruce Wayne you have nothing on me you imbeciles’ and without thinking Jason responds with ‘yeah you’re the son of Brucie Wayne all right but you forget I’m the son of fucking BATMAN and i have been since before you were even fucking PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE’
Damian: I AM THE BLOOD CHILD OF BRUCE WAYNE YOU PATHETIC CREATURE
Jason, fully about to fist fight his little brother in front of these shrimp platters: AND I’M THE SON OF BATMAN, WHILE YOU WERE TAUGHT HOW TO SIP CHAMPAGNE AND FALL INTO FOUNTAINS I WAS TAUGHT HOW TO THROW HANDS NOW FUCKING SQUARE UP CHILD
Dick, eyeing the now silent ballroom: uh, guys-
Tim, vibrating with excitement at the prospect of watching Damian get a ceramic plate to the face: don’t you fucking dare stop them
lacking context, Gotham is now under the impression that Jason Todd was not, in fact, a random street kid taken under Bruce’s wing, and is rather the biological son of Batman, who for some reason got his good friend Bruce Wayne to become the kid’s guardian, presumably to protect him from the life of crime he is leading. it also fuels the ‘Bruce Wayne is dating Batman’ rumours an almost impossible amount.
Another unforeseen consequence is that since it is common knowledge that the batkid vigilantes are most likely Batman’s children too, civilian Jason Todd is now considered to be the adopted brother of Tim, Damian, and Dick, and the biological brother of Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, and Robin.
Jason is asked who his favourite sibling is.
‘ok they all suck apart from Hood. he’s such a nice man. used to take me ice skating.’
the family hate him.
Louis and Lestat are laughing over shots of drunk ppl neck at a bar and Louis is like, “you wanna hear something crazy though? I topped him for 70 years.” The laughing stops abruptly but after a moment’s pause, Lestat says “ah, you mean you topped him from the bottom” and continues nursing his beer. And Louis’ like “uuuh, NO. I mean I topped him.” And Lestat, thinking that they’ve reached the source of the misunderstanding, says “ooooh, I see now, you mean you bottomed for him from the top.” And Louis’ like “…no, no, what?? no, ~~~I~~~ topped ~~~him~~~.” And Lestat is like “??? OH! Oh my god, how silly of me, I thought we were talking about sex! You must be referring to some modern game I’m unfamiliar with, like bottle caps?” And Louis says “Lestat, I am talking about sex, I topped Armand for 77 years” and Lestat laughs and says “Oh, Louis, and I’VE been the one hermited away in a little shotgun shack! I don’t think that word means what you think it means, but you’re very cute.” It takes another 7 minutes for them to truly come to an understanding, but not before Lestat literally throws his hands up and attributes the confusion to a language barrier that they won’t be able to get past and maybe they should just ‘move on.’ When the realization really hits Lestat he’s left with a profound sense of horror that almost immediately morphs into smug satisfaction that both Louis and Armand have been having the worst sex of their lives for nearly a century, but then it goes 360 fully back round to a horror so sobering that Lestat’s blood alcohol level has shot down to base level at miracle speed. all they can do now is stare at each other and Lestat is hoping with all of himself that Louis can see the genuine sorrow pouring from his eyes and Louis is thinking “i forgot that he can really be so empathetic, i’ve gotta let him hit tonight” and Lestat says through blood tears, “Louis, one time over a century ago you asked me why God put us here. I know now, in every atom of my being, that God put me here to fuck you the right way”
I went to a library book sale this weekend and I found a very old book called “Electronic Life: How to Think About Computers,” which was published in I think 1975? I’ve been reading it kind of like how I would read a historical document, and it’s lowkey fascinating
louis + armand: two slow dancers
Louis using himself as a bargaining chip to save Claudia and Daniel’s lives vs Daniel using his body as a bargaining chip to get Armand to free him vs Armand stating that he was used as a bargaining chip for art vs Lestat’s body being the chip that saved him from death unlike all the other blue-eyed blonde corpses he found himself surrounded with vs Claudia using herself to bargain with Lestat to save Louis by telling him she’s the one he hates vs Madeleine using herself as a bargaining chip and sleeping with a Nazi soldier so she wouldn’t starve
This is an accurate representation of what Fighter’s single brain cell was going through during this whole thing

Elrond as Gil-Galad's Herald should be portrayed more often as a polite political fiction. Like, Elrond's heritage should put him in a very important political position, given exactly how many lineages of kings he's related to. But he's basically allergic to being in charge and every time a council member mentions Elrond getting named the heir, Gil-Galad has to spend half a day talking Elrond out of a tree. But they can't disregard it completely because there are plenty of elves whose loyalty is tied closer to Elrond than Gil-Galad no matter how publically Elrond defers to him.
So, they compromised and made him Gil-Galad's Herald, which is an important position that tells everyone he has Gil-Galad's explicit trust but also means he spends more time playing diplomat and messenger than expressing his own political opinions. Also, it'd be funny if Elrond spends more time essentially pioneering healing techniques than anything else and Gil-Galad sending him out on Herald work is essentially him saying "you're not allowed back in the library until you've eaten at least three meals (diplomatic dinners) and talked to ten people, you're the healer why do I have to tell you this."
Also, something with the two of them going to great lengths to try and get people to forget that Gil-Galad isn't actually that much older than Elrond. And at least one political dinner where a bard is about to sing the Lay of Luthien and has to make awkward eye contact with Elrond, because that's his grandma. And the public consensus that Elrond is probably the most forgiving person on middle earth given he acknowledges his technical kidnappers as his technical foster fathers. And how that acknowledgement technically makes him and Celebrimbor cousins (as opposed to the more distant cousin relationship through his grandmother, Idril, daughter of Turgon, son of Fingolfin, brother to Feanor - aka the guy who made the first jewelry wars were started over, Celebrimbor's grampa).
BEWARE: Here is the land of Asian BL/GL dramas with a spattering of Western shows!
