I Think Tumblr's Trying To Tell Me Something....

Okay Ima be honest-

When I first watched acolyte, I wasn't too confident in it for a handful of reasons. The premise seemed interesting tho (Im a sucker for mystery thrillers lol) but the script, acting and other aspects had me feeling offish about the show, especially ep 3. HOWEVER Lee Jung-jae (Sol), Jecki and the fighting scenes (way better than the Ahsoka show s o r r y) from the trailer kept me going.

NOW THIS MF

THIS GOOFY LIL BOY HAD ME HOOKED THE SECOND HE CAME ON SCREEN

Im one of the stupid viewers that didn't really connect the dots until episode 4 but I had doubts watching episode 5 when Osha said her mother could get into Jedi's heads like Zipper dude was doing BUT IHUDJWIUDJWIJDIWJIOAJ

For me and some other people Manny Jacinto saved the series. Every scene he was in during/after the fights were tense and had me on the edge of my seat. Especially his scenes with Lee, their the best actors in the show (my opinion don't kill me ;-;).

But yeah like many, I'm head over heels for the sexy, no chill at all villian and probably Sol too since it seems like he's got his own *ahem* DARKNESS *ahem*.

TL;DR: I had many doubts about the show but episode 5 was the best episode for me. Still have doubts and issues but the episode made me more hopeful. Manny Jaciento and Lee Jung-jae's backs must hurt from carrying this episode. They had great chemistry (platonic, they're trying to kill eachother ;-;). Also a Qimir-based appreciation post :D.

Please someone do fanart of this I'm begging you it would be adorable-

Just to add on to my earlier ask.

Drogo is massaging and oiling his daughters hair, danys is already braided and she’s letting the oil work it’s magic, and waiting to braid her daughters hair. She looks over and notices aemond creeping closer and closer to them, being very subtle (he’s not), asking questions on what they’re doing. She knows that this boy is going to be her son in law so she just shoves him into drogos arms so he can get his hair done next. That boy would just be catatonic to have his future father in law touching his hair, even worse when he asks him questions about himself, his interests, wants to spar with him one day. He’s trying not to preen at the touches.

It gets worse when his hair is oiled and dany sits behind him to braid it. No hate to Alicent but she’s not the best mother, and aemond nearly dies when he experiences true motherly love. Dany also asks him questions about himself, his ambitions, maybe even asks him for his opinion on a crown matter. Poor man is in absolute heaven, he’s never leaving, might get down and propose then and there.

Another girl dad drogo take. His daughter tells him that helaena loves bugs, he takes it upon himself to bring her bugs when he knows that he’ll see her.

i know a lot of ppl might say that aemond would find drogo completely terrifying, but i feel like he would admire the fuck outta him. like at a “oh fuck mom i wanna be like HIM” level.

let’s talk about it now:

aemond prides himself at being a warrior, a soldier, a skillful and intellectual swordsman, a sort of man that would never hesitate to enter the battlefield. he spent the rest of his boyhood training, honing his skills, studying, and becoming this absolute menace. and here’s this dothraki khal, a warlord with such a badass reputation and cool culture and not to mention being the father of his crush.

like aemond would eat that shit! dude would be DROOLING. imagine if he witnessed drogo tearing out a throat. no sword, no knives, just his bare hands. he’d be in the courtyard the next day like “teach me teach me teach me”

don’t get me started on dany and aemond. dany will look at alicent and say “those two [points to aemond and helaena] are mine now. ah, no argument. you can stay with … that one. yeah him. but those two are mine, i’ll serve you the adoption papers on the morrow.”

aemond has zero complaints, and helaena is too busy playing with the exotic bugs drogo brought her.

LATE AS ALWAYS TO THE PARTY BUT THE LOKI EPISODE HAD MY HISTORY LOVING BRAIN GEEKING

Okay so the episode is called "1893". The episode starts in 1863 I believe where Renslayer and Miss Minutes the psycho clock dropped off the TVA guidebook to Victor. That was actually a really good time to drop off the book because the Second Industrial revolution starts at around 1870. I say he was around 13 or 15 years old in the first scene so he would be in his early 20's when the industrial revolution kicks in. A young inventor who has the knowledge of a whole class of inventions he can create during a time where innovation and new technology was the best way to make a name for yourself is a great way to start his character in my opinion (Also a lot of African American inventors were applying for patents and creating inventions like Madam CJ Walker, George Washington Carter and Lewis Latmer to name some well known ones.)

Basically the time period for the episode was perfect for Victor. Everyone was racing to make the next big thing, make something that was never seen before and Victor had the TVA guidebook and his mind to completely wipe the floor clean with them. But as he said in the episode, he was limited by the technology available at the time.

ALSO a small thing I noticed when watching the episode was that the guy who tried to 'scam' Victor into giving him the patent rights (I think). If you have the captions on, he's called "Robber Baron". No, that's not his name, it's actually a nickname made around the time of the 2nd Industrial Revolution. It referred to business men who gained their wealth from exploiting people/employees and used corrupt business practices. Business men like John Rockefeller, John Jacob Astor, Andrew Carnegie and Leland Stanford were all called this. The name was originally from medieval Europe and was about feudal lords who would tax his people heavily and in some cases rob travelers :D

Kind of a hint to the audience that the guy is a shit bag before he even shows he's a shit bag. The deal he struck with Victor made me and my dad both think of the deal Tesla made with Edison.

Just got ibis paint recently (don't judge) and I decided to draw some eyes. Any critics or tips? (Please be a bit gentle)

Picked the 5th one

I've accepted my darkness. What have you done with yours? THE ACOLYTE: "NIGHT" (2024)
