He Actually Looks At Ease Here If Only For A Second. I Wonder If He Thought He Was Dreaming Still. Do

only a tiny bit disappointed that the 2nd season didn't include how uhh you know

how young kaz actually got back to the shore

this is a super funny comparison but i actually really liked bunny for a similar reason. like the bunnies are, on paper, trying to make samantha happier, friendlier, more free in her creativity, its just that happiness in their world means a certain sort of thing which someone like samantha cant achieve without being hollowed out and brainwashed first. the bunnies are all about enabling their most surface level self-indulgent desires, and thats not all bad. its in fact kind of a good impulse that comes from wanting to free themselves and each other from shame. samantha craves validation and companionship and thats not a bad thing either, but it turns her into someone who goes along with acts that fundamentally disgust her for the sake of feeling valued.

its not a one-to-one comparison to what i was talking abt earlier with reanimator but i do kind of love horror dynamics that are all about like a well meaning protag with normal human desires and follies that gets drawn in by a villain(s) who like enables those desires until the protag cant tell the difference between what they want and what theyre simply willing to endure in order to get that superficial validation.

each and every day i'm getting closer to watching free rein. it'd be such a fever dream and my inner horse-girl-child would be so thrilled

Freddy Carter went from stealing medical supplies for sick horses as Pin Hawthorn to becoming bastard of the barrel attempting to steal the sun summoner and if that’s not character development then I don’t know what is

man it would really suck if the link to request tv shows and movies got spammed with requests for shadow and bone and six of crows....

that would just be so unfortunate for netflix. such an inconvenience.

it would just be really terrible if this link got spread so people could spam it with requests for shadow and bone and six of crows.

love when jesper asked wylan "shouldn't you be in university" my brother in christ shouldn't YOU be in university

I don't care if the Crows spin-off is just the six of them acting it out in Freddy's living room while Freddy's wife films it on a phone, I'm willing to pay real money for the footage.

If we actually get a SOC spinoff, it better open up with Joost. You don’t understand how much I need it.

Why is it always “ILY” and never:

still not over how they use lighting and/or framing to make Kaz look monstrous. look at this!

he looks barely human! where is that light even coming from!

behold a goblin man! do you see that sharp contrast between light and shadow? that’s because they intentionally didn’t use a fill light to soften the shadows! all the other characters get fill lights!

a literal fucking demon. his eye is glowing!

fucking Dracula-style underlighting to signal evil! why is there light coming from below? this is not a diegetic (i.e. internal to the story world) light! it is a light placed specifically to make him look like this!

the warm yellow light on the left, the cool blue light on the right, the red shadow in the middle! the bloody makeup! (also the acting, but that’s a separate story)

and like, freddy carter is a fairly good looking dude! he can look regular and soft with standard lighting! even when he’s being all intense stare-y and bruised!

i just really love how much visual storytelling there is in the crows story line. so  much of it is not conveyed through explicit dialogue or plot but through the art of cinema! ahhh!
