At first, I admittedly found that whole CT/Hugos thing a bit funny, but the fantastic NK Jemisin has pointed out on Twitter why it’s not so much a joke-

Oh dear, are we going with “girls don’t like geeky things” here? Really?

Well, in a manner of speaking yes. Regardless of whether you like their style or not, Gaga is indeed incredibly fucking talented and knows what she’s doing. And Reznor has been incredibly influential and skilled as a composer. Sure, he has many recurring leitmotifs in his music, but does the magnificent Philip Glass.

Oh for sure, Brett Dalton really is nailing it and I’m actually glad they did such a heel-turn for Ward after “Turn Turn Turn.” It was one of the few unexpected twists that they’ve totally committed to that was good writing.

Damn if this isn’t a solid list. I can’t imagine how hard it was to narrow down to 13. I would say “Excalibur” is fairly solid, but not sure that totally counts as fairy tale.

I’m actually so glad they didn’t try to “redeem” or pull an Angel with Ward. They’ve committed to him being genuinely fucking awful without real remorse over it.

Also, taking all the Buckynat scraps I can get here...

I believe I do see my Bucky Barnes in the background of that clip with Scott Lang, and not that I freaked out or anything.

Think I’ll stick with him instead:

Do tell me more?

It’s bad. There’s not telling too much of a movie’s story....and there’s avoiding it basically altogether.

I’d watch it. Bonus points if Cary Grant is a sidekick/love interest.

This really hasn’t left me at all excited like previous Marvel trailers. It really just felt like I was watching the first part of Batman Begins where Bruce meets Ra’s Al Ghul. There’s just something lackluster about it that feels too “samey.”

If they had had the balls to pursue an Enzo/Caroline romance in season 6, I’d probably have stayed tuning in for that because it would have paralleled Damon/Elena a bit and given Enzo more to do than just be sidelined to shitty plots in attempts to keep Stefan at the forefront.

This does nothing to help the fact that I have zero chill when it comes to James Buchanan Barnes.

It really pains me to say it, but Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels series. I loved the original three and The Invisible Ring. The Shadow Queen and Shalador’s Lady were a nice set of side story, but didn’t quite pull me in like the initial story. Queen of the Darkness was such a strong ending to the main story that I really

Cleansers I recommend that are good for a decent range of skin types and won’t strip your skin too much (which oiler types, believe it or not you don’t want to overstrip either!):

Try rinsing with cider vinegar or watered down lemon juice after? The acid should counteract the alkali in Dr. Bronner’s and might help.
