there’s a sort of terminal between timelines, and two time-travellers’ paths cross- both of whom repeat and redo and trap themselves in a hell of their own choosing in order to bring happiness to their beloved.
and when their god is in their heaven, everything is all right in the world.
again and again and again

On the similarities of Fate/Zero and A Song of Ice and Fire
Fate/Zero is an anime series based on the light novel written by Gen Urobuchi (Perhaps best known for writing for the series Puella Magi Madoka Magica) which focuses on the 4th Holy Grail War, a battle between seven mages over the chance to have one wish granted by the mythical Holy Grail. Each mage summons a “servant,” a legendary figure from history, to fight for them.
This series shares quite a few similarities with George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels. Both stories lack a traditional protagonist, but rather focuses on several individuals with different ideals and their pursuit of power. A large cast of characters who are all morally compromised in one way or another… Sound familiar? Not to get too far into spoiler territory, but those who know of Gen Urobuchi may also know of his nickname: The Urobutcher. It stands to reason that he and the GRRM Reaper would share similar thoughts on character death. Daddy issues, unrequited love, lady warriors, power-hungry men, loyalty, and deceit are just a handful of other shared subjects of these works. If you are a fan of the A Song of Ice and Fire series or its television adaptation, Game of Thrones, Fate/Zero is certainly something with similar themes, stories, and characters which you might be interested in checking out.
Here is the thing, okay? Coming into a feminist conversation with, “Have you considered that sometimes women acquire free drinks at bars?” is like walking into graduate school during Philosophy finals and saying, “Have you considered that the color blue that I see may not be the color blue that you see?”
Imagine you are the guy who just walked into that Philosophy class and laid that shit down. Imagine the class full of students who have worked very hard and committed themselves and sacrificed to be here, students who have spent several years of their lives learning about this subject. Imagine now their feelings when you go to the head of the classroom with a smirk on your face and demand the professor give you an A for effort. Imagine now that they think you are a douchebag asshole, because they do, and because you are. You are a douchebag asshole because you are obviously so self-centered, arrogant, and completely ignorant of the world around you, that you thought you could walk into a high-level course with no background and no work and say something profoundly simplistic and totally unrelated and also everybody should congratulate you for having done this thing, so brave, so provocative.
[….]
You are not asking us a real question. You are simply illustrating, for all to see, your own ignorance. You are saying, “I have not considered the implications of the question I have just asked. I have not taken the time nor effort nor commitment to sit down and ask myself this question. Instead, I have come into your philosophy classroom/office/feminist blog and shat out my question with a smirk, because I believe that my two seconds of thought are worth more than your long-term analysis, because I believe I am worth more.”

And for the record: women getting free drinks at bars enables rape culture.

one of the comments on the casting in the tag is that Evan Peters doesn’t look European
??????
lecinea asked: LILI LILI LILI THEY CAST PIETRO FOR THE X-MEN MOVIES. NOW ONLY WANDA AND WE'LL HAVE HAVE THEM IN BOTH AVENGERS AND X-MEN. EVERYTHING SHALL BE MAXIMOFFS AND NOTHING WILL HURT
WAIT WHAT I THOUGHT THEY WERE ONLY GONNA BE IN THE AVENGERS
then this means more screentime, more character development, more possibilities for incestuous subtext today is truly a magnificent day
