dean and cas should’ve gotten married for some plot relevant thing in season 5/6, a spell or ritual or whatever, and then just not addressed it for the better part of a decade until they’re having a fight (also plot relevant) and one of them (cas) drops the H word (husband) and dean is like oh NOW he wants to talk about it? that was NOT a legally binding marriage! and sam (unfortunately in the room) is like *scoff* dean, since when do we do anything LEGAL??? ([email protected]) and cas is like “did you think a marriage initiated to satisfy a magical requirement would be beholden to the governments specifications???” and dean would drop it for the time being and then get irrationally pissed off because he’s been married to cas this whole time and cas is married to daphne allen AND the djinn queen now so it hardly matters if dean was there first and also he’s a dude and he’s not even into dudes but he also is (but it’s a secret) and that’s a knot he doesn’t have time to unpick right now because he’s fantasizing about asking for a divorce to win the argument he’s planning on starting after he cooks dinner.


loki of asgard & prince hal - the misbehaving princes -
1x04: "just kind of an asshole and a bad friend" - this scene, though!!


I don't see this scene discussed all that much, but for me it's a massive turning point, not just in the Lokius friendship but for Loki's own growth as a person who doesn't want to let down the people he respects and cares about. Mobius completely blows Loki's mind here and cuts him down with a graceful, yet blunt skill. He can almost read Loki's mind; no one has ever understood Loki like this before. But more importantly, why Mobius' reply here means so much:
He's not raising his voice. He's not giving Loki the angry and hurtful response that Loki expects and wants right now. That's because if Mobius hurts Loki back, if he retaliates in kind, it will distract Loki from the fact that he was a dick to the first real friend he ever had. It will make it much easier for Loki to lie to himself and excuse his actions, while avoiding any guilty feelings. Mobius is not going to give him that.
Mobius also refuses to play along with Loki's bratty drama, instead speaking to him in an honest way, showing that yeah, Loki did let him down and hurt his feelings. And that Mobius is angry, sure. But it's not a moment for petty, fake drama such as Loki tries to ignite.
Instead, it's his friend saying "I trusted you and put myself on the line for you and you betrayed me. You don't get to make this about anything else." (more below the break)
Owen Wilson's delivery on these lines could not have been more flawless. We get all of Mobius' feelings; he's just a regular guy at the end of the day, and his genuineness, his integrity is not what Loki is used to dealing with. He's knocked the ground out from under Loki, this simply, this easily.
Emotional stakes instead of shallow, selfish ones. Loki is thrown into real shock by this turn of events. This is not how he's used to being dealt with when he's been "bad." The child in Loki never matured past these tantrums, for reasons we can easily guess.
Instead of being enraged or saying a bunch of mean stuff back at him, Mobius calls it like it is, then moves on, as if Loki no longer deserves his attention. That is going to drive Loki so crazy.
Plus, Mobius gets Loki so completely that he already knows how his statement is going to hit him. That's why, when Loki's surprised expression appears, Mobius is expecting it and says, "Yeah, chew on that for a little bit."
In other words, "How do you like being treated like a person who is expected to be decent and considerate, as opposed to being treated like a threat or problem to be destroyed?"
I think the latter was damaging to Loki at first, but then, over time, so much easier for Loki to cope with. Enemies were playing into his hands by repeating back the same insults he's gotten used to, has toughened up to.
Nobody has believed in him and expected - not just demanded - but expected better from Loki, until Mobius.
Knowing that he almost immediately tarnished such a friendship hits completely different and Loki is thrown by it.
Mobius sees Loki 100% for who he is and knows how to get under his skin when necessary, knows how to get past Loki's bravado in a way no one else has done.
But part of that skill is because Mobius really still can't help loving Loki to bits, and as hurt as he is here, he has not completely given up on Loki. It's Mobius' genuine, heartfelt responses to Loki that allow him the empathy to give as good as he gets, but more than that, to care enough, specifically, to try and help Loki learn to be better.
I just love them so much-- 😭💓💞
She is everything


Clara: See ya. Don’t rob any banks.
Doctor: Don’t rob any banks what?
Clara: Without me.


Clara: Then why are you helping me?
Doctor: Why? Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?


Clara: How did you know I was here? Did you see me?
Doctor: When do I not see you?


Clara: If you love me in any way, you'll come back

Doctor: That list. Everyone after you was random. But you being the next name, that’s what made me confront the Fisher King.

Clara: What were you bargaining for?
Doctor: What do you think? You
