my absolute favourite genre of Hangster fic might be "are they really enemies with benefits or is Bradley just stupid"
not to be a useless lesbian but this is the hottest thing the waitress has ever done on this show
my personal take on the Hangster Mess in that (iconic) first scene is that Jake knows he's into Bradley and is handling it badly, while Bradley has no idea he's into Jake but is somehow handling it worse
Ok, so I watched through Lucifer during quarantine, and here is what I don't understand: What the hell is up with Lucifer's accent? Literally every other divine being (that I can remember anyways) has an American accent—including Michael, who's identical to Lucifer in almost every other way—but not Lucifer. Instead, he's gallivanting all over the place in his verbal British glory. Like, it works, but what the heck? Anyway, I came up with two theories:
1. Everyone originally spoke all American-like in heaven, but Lucifer, in an act of rebellion, decided he liked the way Europeans talked and adopted an English accent for pure dramatic purposes. Pretty in-character, if I do say so myself.
2. Everyone originally spoke like Lucifer, but changed their accents whenever he was cast out, kind of like a big divine practical joke. I understand that this is way less likely, but I'm going to go with it because I find it hilarious.
Bradley: I’m bi.
Natasha: I know.

Bradley: …Do you think Jake knows?
Random things I love about the show Bones:
- all the times they take stuff from the museum to use in the investigation ("I got this from the x exhibit")
- Brennan following some birds, bugs etc and finding a body ("Booth, you might want to see this")
- "Bones, stay behind me!" Brennan immediately wanders off
- the banter between Booth and Caroline Julian
- how well TJ Thyne plays exhausted Hodgins
- how immaculate Cam's outfits are (and how they are ruined by Hodgins and co's experiments)
- the guitar riffs that play every time Angela's dad is on screen

This is probably my last post on the whole “Liz is dead” situation but I want to talk about my great grandmother, who is currently 92 years old. When I was growing up, hell even now, she’d tell me a lot about her own stories, mostly about how terrifying life was under both the British Raj and Nizam rule (her side of my family is from Hyderabad - Google the Nizams and the Razakars if you’ve never heard about them, that’s a whole other thing of its own).
Something I remember very clearly is her telling me about this one song she was forced to sing in her school - she went to a Christian convent school - and the song was about the greatness of “George Prabhu and Mary Rani,” aka George V, Elizabeth II’s grandfather. Recently my mom was able to film her singing this song so that we could listen to the lyrics, which are originally in Telugu, and roughly translated it means “we’re singing in honor of George and Mary, who are the rulers of India and have brought great fortune to India, and we see them as our father and mother.”
This is just a really difficult reminder that when we’re talking about why Elizabeth II and the royal family don’t deserve our respect or condolences, many of us have very personal stories that run deep through our families. “But she was a mother, a grandmother, a person” and I don’t care because she and her family were in the business of dehumanizing and erasing the identities of millions of other mothers, other grandmothers, other PEOPLE. Why else would my great grandmother be forced to sing a song in their honor? “But she wasn’t responsible for India” fair enough, her darling grandfather had a great time doing that, but how about you go and talk to Kenya? Or anyone in Africa? Or the Caribbean? I’m sick and tired of being told to “not speak ill of the dead” when REALLY I and millions of others should be getting an apology from anyone who wants to “praise her legacy” and talk about how “revolutionary” she was.
edit: i got the george’s mixed up before. george v is elizabeth ii’s grandfather. george vi is her father.
