Whenever I have an overabundance of love for something since falling into tumblr two things happen:
1) I find and reblog all the gifsets I can because I want to be surrounded be the thing
2) I want to create all the things because I want to immerse myself in the thing
So invariably #1 happens, along with a lot of rambling, but lately #2 hasn’t as while I mentally want to do all the things, when it comes to actually doing them…
just add it to the list
You know that quote?
“It wasn’t love at first sight exactly more hello it’s you, it’s going to be you”
Yeah I’m still thinking about Eve and Flynn. I’m thinking about how Flynn totally disarmed Eve when they first met in the German steam tunnels. She had never met anyone like him, she didn’t know how to deal with him, but he was intelligent and for all his irreverence she trusted his instructions with the nuke.
Then they fought. “I don’t need her!” “You can’t tell me what to do!” and it was antagonistic but at the same time it wasn’t because Flynn is prickly, he isn’t mean. When they were hiking to the henge he complimented her on taking down those goons at the museum. He noticed. They had a brief exchange and realised how similar they were – two loners, married to their work, pushed everyone else away.
I definitely think that’s when the attraction kicked in. Look how soft Eve’s face is when she looks at Flynn. She has the same softness when she thinks he’s going to die down by the Excalibur stone. He got past all her defences, he was like nobody she’d ever met. Jenkins said that she was his guardian, that if he was drowning she’d save him and he was drowning with the loss of Judson, Charlene and the library. She talked to him, she knew him already “if that was the right thing to do then you’d be doing it – not reading about it”
I always remember the quote from the movie Speed – “relationships formed in extreme circumstances never work out” but with Eve and Flynn they bypassed that because they didn’t jump in.
They acknowledged the attraction, that it was very tempting to be together “wish I could travel the world with you” and they kissed but that was it. They took their time, “I’ll text you, you text me, we’ll text each other.” and so they built a relationship on the best of foundations – mutual respect and friendship.
and a lot of hearteyes.
Haha posting about Warcraft reminds me of Leverage and Hardison. “For the Horde! I was up all night. Now look, I mean, Burning Crusade was great, but this new one is mind-blowing.”
Sorry this probably only amuses me 🙂
Oh sweet merlin
I just did the Battle for Lordaeron scenarios Alliance and Horde side and
FJKDSFJKDLSFJSDLKFDS
I seriously can NOT believe they made something that epic and it’s only going to be available for a week *flails*
Maybe because I main Alliance I thought that the Alliance scenario was better, I felt like a proper hero/champion, jumping down into the fray, swinging my sword of holy light etc. The Horde side felt more like it was done as a reverse of the Alliance and wasn’t quite as good EXCEPT when it came to the cinematics.
Oh wow the cinematics.
Yikes!
Also how freaking powerful is Jaina? That was some impressive stuff. She had a big damn hero moment with that entrance that’s for sure.
I feel sorry for Baine and Lorethmar. They were going along with it but I got the feeling it’s a bit like people who agree with bullies so they don’t become the next victim. They are kinda stuck. Also, I have no clue who is heading up the Darkspear these days. I miss Vol’jin.
BfA next week whoo! 🙂
I’m having a bad day and decided to rewatch the two-part premiere of The Librarians and I have thoughts. Don’t mind me 🙂
Right so, Judson was immortal, tethered to the library. For him to die he must have given up his immortality like Charlene did towards the end of season three. Why would he do that?
Flynn survived 10 years, longer than any other librarian – how? Maybe halfway in, so “five years ago” Flynn did die but Judson saved him by swapping the life force, the same as #spoilers I read that Jenkins got tricked into doing in season four. (I know I spoiled myself, I suck).
Ok now Cassandra – if surgery could save her a) why did she never have it before season 3? and b) why was she so desperate? She said to Duloque that they should share magic, to save those that science couldn’t, so I always assumed from that her tumour was inoperable.
Maybe it was. I mean it was a lot smaller at the beginning and right before the surgery the doctor did say he was amazed she was still walking around. The last of Excalibur’s raw magic healed Flynn, and he said it would have healed Cassandra. By the time of her surgery she’d been using magic a fair a bit, casting spells etc. Maybe that had an effect and so magic saved her after all.
Now we could say there were a couple of continuity errors between the movies and the TV show but I prefer to explain things in universe if possible.
Excalibur in the first movie is shown in the stone. Judson invites Flynn to try and pull it out, though the sword does fly around on it’s own. Maybe it wasn’t ‘the stone’ because it didn’t need to be, the important relic was the sword. It’s like they put the artifacts on display cushions, well Excalibur got a display stone. You know like how museums have displays.
Also Charlene was recently divorced (Gaston) mentioned in 1st and 3rd movies but in the TV show it’s implied that she and Judson were an item, and that’s why Jenkins never had a chance with her (and also why he didn’t really like Judson). The original librarian and guardian – makes sense and it’s a nice echo with my OTP 🙂 so I really don’t know. I do like the name Gaston plus divorce because that kinda makes Charlene Belle (and she works in the library heh).
It has been implied that Judson was a bit of a James Bond type librarian with a girl in every port (a bit like Flynn pre-Eve tbh) and so maybe he and Charlene had an open relationship? They loved one another deeply, were committed to each other but had dalliances with other people, just not other immortals because that would get awkward. Alas poor Jenkins.
Oh and I really want to know when Jenkins told Eve he was immortal and therefore she couldn’t kick his ass. I bet he was laughing so hard on the inside when Eve tried to intimidate him with “make yourself useful or make yourself gone”. So funny.
Ok when Nicole Noone walked on screen and Flynn was mesmerised I was scared for a minute that Librarian/Guardian was a ‘thing’ and somehow I felt that would undermine how perfect Eve and Flynn are together, it would somehow make it like any guardian would work and not just Eve.
Buuuuut then Nicole opened her mouth and yeah no – she is NOT Eve and I have never been more grateful for someone to be so rude and condescending in my life.
She is no-one just like her name. OTP intact 🙂
I got the Spear of Destiny movie today and I just had a shipper moment even though this is 10 years before they met.
Flynn’s mom: I just want you to find love
Flynn: I will, at the right time, the right person.
Me: Librarian and guardian! When you meet Eve whoo
Sorry not sorry.
Rules: bold what you prefer and tag 10 people.

My brain is literally all over the place today.
I bet it’s because I’m going out. I never can settle if I’m waiting to leave.
Regarding Warcraft I thought there was a super cool thing but it turned out disappointing.
On the launcher there was a “create your party wallpaper” type thing where you could pick your background, select your characters, and have them stand in heroic poses.
Problem is a) it’s limited to three, b) my rogue needs a cool transmog and c) my druid doesn’t shapeshift into kitty form and he’s a kitty so that doesn’t work.
My paladin in golden armor, because I quested alongside Turylon, popping wings and fighting demons and had to go full on iconic paladin – she would look badass if there was a pose selector. I mean no sword? Seriously not cool.
