Andor exchanges VERY AMBIGUOUS glances with a handsome young hotel staffer

Happy Pride to everyone, but especially to these two ostensibly straight characters who managed to pack 100x more sexual tension into one scene than existed in the entire rest of the series

Absolutely *loved* “How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying”, and cannot wait to devour the squeakquel

Piece of mail addressed to a person named “Heaven B Brown”

I like how this person’s name is both a complete sentence and MAGA evangelicals’ greatest fear

Love it! One I saw years ago that stuck with me was “B 3AKOHE”

Oh my god, I have rarely laughed harder at anything on the internet. Like, MAYBE “El hopaness romtic” but it’s close
