Quick appreciation post for this clip from A Court of Fey and Flowers, I can’t stop thinking about how quickly and beautifully it descends into chaos
The second that Lou’s character called the human “it”, it was all over
I fully believe that Aabria’s screams when Brennan starts climbing on the table are only, like, 50% for the bit (I would scream too if my players started climbing over my table towards me)

"Okay, Mr. Sphinx? I just, I think I realized that, you know, look. Not the smartest guy, right?
But, with enough time, I usually figure out what I need to figure out.
A lot of people said I couldn't make a cell tower. I definitely could not, but after a while, I figured out something else, with the help of other people.
Anyways, my point is eventually I will solve problems that maybe smarter people can solve in a shorter amount of time. So what my point is-"
Zac out of character: This is what Gorgug's thinking, is that it's scarier to admit that he's too stupid to figure this out, and he's just gonna say
"I'm a dumbass. Eat me, you stupid bug."
After the events of Junior Year, Fig releases a single called "Complicated". It baffles Cig Figs fans because there was no announcement, just a quiet release. It's also very different from her usual stuff, with a more folksy vibe and only one instrument, an acoustic guitar. It's clear Fig is singing, but she's never been known to play an acoustic guitar.
The song sings of being a teenage adventurer in a world much bigger than yourself, of older men and broken dreams, of mothers and daughters, of betrayal and of new life. Another voice joins Fig's for the last chorus ("I don't want to be perfect, I just want to be complicated" (which is changed from the usual words "I wanna be perfect, but it's all so complicated")), but nobody can figure out who it is.
Fig isn't making it easier to figure out. She never plays the song live, and when asked about who the mysterious other people (the guitarist and the second vocalist) are, she just waves it off with a laugh and says that said person would rather remain anonymous.
It continues to confuse fans until one night, around the middle of Fig's set at a big concert, she tells the crowd that she's going to be doing something new, something she's never done live before.
The crowd waits in anticipation as Sandra Lynn shuffles on stage, holding a beat up old acoustic guitar, covered in paint and hand prints from her Aguefort adventuring party.
Fig introduces her mother, the inspiration for the song, and both the guitarist and the second vocalist.
And for the first time ever, "Complicated" is played live
Watching Fantasy High for the first time and I'm on the prom episode in season 1 and just had to take a break because I got emotional.
Adaine was having a panic attack because they were fighting a fucking dragon, and Brennan gave her a whole speech that hit real close to home.
He was like, this doesn't make you a bad person, this doesn't make you a coward, you have a mental illness and that's okay.
DND SHOULDNT MAKE ME THIS EMOTIONAL
writing is so fun
writing is impossible why does anyone do this
okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.
twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.
i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.
so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.
I still find it funny when people think Merthur was just another “hot guy” ship and not an attempt to avoid the tragic narrative established by Arthurian legend.
Like, if you watched the show knowing anything about the lore, you knew from the first episode:
Merlin was the safe option
