Reading those words, in that handwriting, is absolutely gut-wrenching.

I should probably follow your example and start commenting on recaps of bad shows to point out to the writer how it’s not a good use of her time, huh

So, Japanese- or Korean-American in a mystical Chinese can serve all of the same functions for the stranger in a strange land trope.

“Nicole Beharie for Carol Danvers!”

Sad that I recognized it, looked it up to double-check and was right. No, it’s not. It’s Hikaru’s Valk’ with the alternate FAST Strike Pack, because lasers.

Counterpoint: Heath Ledger never had DAMAGED tattooed across his fucking face.

I *love* Cal’s arc over this season. It was really a struggle for me at first, because in many ways he’s a lot like my asshole father-in-law (but with bonus violence!), but the more that we see of him, the more he seems like an ultimately tragic figure. Moreover, he *knows* how much of a monster he is. The writers and…

Every time I hear the words “Pacific Rim 2” I smile.

I dated her older sister once. Same fashion sense.
