How the hell can zenyatta ever get a cinematic when two of his main abilities don’t even fucking exist
zenyatta canonically just shit talks you to death
Zenyatta only knows three spells: healing word, vicious mockery, and boot to the head.
no shame in doing the same thing over and over if it makes you happy! go and read that book again, listen to that song for the 10000th time, watch that movie over and over. it’s your life babey!
One of my fav things about Gandalf is, he can & canonically does Full Name hobbits when he’s angry like he’s their mum or something
important follow up Qs:
1) does it frustrate Gandalf that he can’t do this to Bilbo & Frodo with the same impact bcos they don’t have nicknames
2) does he do it to non hobbits
Gandalf, in the distance: ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN
Aragorn: oh shit I’m in trouble
I think when Gandalf is pissed with Hobbits he reverts to the extremely formal Mister Baggins!
you’ve cracked it, that’s absolutely what he does
you know how mad he is based on how far back into your lineage he goes, consider:
Mild: Meriadoc Brandybuck! (last name only, you’ll probably live)
Mad: ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN! (now your ancestors are involved, bad)
Murderous: THORIN, SON OF THRÁIN, SON OF THRÓR! (you are maybe about to meet your ancestors, via Gandalf… and not glorious battle)
The scary thing about Gandalf is he’s been around long enough to have met your entire lineage, so the recitation has more oomph.
“I knew your great-great-great-grandfather and he, too, was a bitter disappointment, but not as much as you are in this moment”
be christ-like this christmas. gather a crowd and inspire them to anarchism. beat a politician with a whip. help out your local sex workers. preach equality.
Fuck this hurts.
What’s even crazier is that the woman actually came out and said she lied on him.
Turn his murderers’ graves into a public restroom.
Or actually put his accuser on fucking trial already.
This shit ain’t ancient history. Odds are the people who shot up the sign are probably her’s, J.W. Milam’s and/or Roy Bryant’s children. =P

Virtue requires a delicate balance.
This could be a great set of descriptors for tracking social stats in a game.
Woah
A good chart for character development, especially when contrasting how they are vs. how they see themselves.
Angsty Romantic Cliches I’m a Slut For
- Holding their partner’s unconscious/dead body
- Sobbing into their partner’s shoulder/chest
- One of them is hurt and the other falls asleep in their hospital room
- The other losing their mind when their partner is hurt/killed and charging into battle recklessly
- “I thought I lost you” hugs
- “Don’t go where I can’t follow!”
- One is mind controlled and forced to fight the other
- The other refusing to harm them and getting seriously injured as consequence
- The person coming to and seeing what they’ve done
- I could go on about this trope alone for 5 hours
- A last desperate “I love you!”
- A tearful, hard kiss before battle, bonus points if its a confessional kiss
- “Please, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
- Bandaging each other’s wounds
- Both of them injured, and waking up beside each other
