Okay listen I know that I’ve been hyperfocusing on the Terror but. We had one of the car seats out of the van and Wynnie put her “friend” (stuffed cheetah. I mean. Come on. CHEETAH.) in it and then strapped it to her body and proceeded to haul him solemnly around the house because “this way he’ll never get left behind 🥺”

Guy who’s only watched AMC’s the Terror voice: “Wow this is just like AMC’s the Terror”

IMMEDIATELY after that post with the ballerina book did the rounds and I had ranted to my husband about the absolute lack of reading comprehension, critical thinking and basic fact checking on this site within like. Hours the slur song post first popped up on my dash and I had to rant to him again about how it was SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that the song added to it could not possibly have been created with the actual audio referenced in the post, based on - pretty much everything about it (the bizarre range of severity of terms….the fact that it “just so happened” to rhyme…the interim phrases that perfectly fit the meter and scansion….) and once again every single response in the notes took it at face value unquestioningly that it was the real deal…. but without the ability to 100% prove it myself the idea of wading into the fray to fact check it was too daunting and so instead I threw my hands up in the air and paced in circles for a few minutes to calm down. And then had to watch the damn thing take social media by storm with the story always repeated alongside and no mention that the song was very clearly *inspired by* the post and *not the actual audio from the training module* honestly I suffer more than Jesus

St Sebastian and James Fitzjames

Sorry but I have watched this guy checking his bullet wounds an unhealthy number of times now...

[bishkebab]

me at the pearly gates: heyyy god

god: okay so look it's really straightforward the one rule is you can never have read fanfiction where celebrated 1840s naval officer james fitzjames is tenderly forcibly feminised by his even more decorated naval superior francis rawdon moira crozier specifically wherein the latter's dick does not work because they are both in the middling stages of scurvy like that's the only thing

me: okay listen 🤦

apple pencil is dead so i made this in MS paint because i had an Urgent Message to convey

[bishkebab]

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

Btw. This is happening now…?

The Chain That Snaps (WIP)

Rating: E (eventually)

Femdom/light BDSM

Changed as I am," he said again, the music of his voice low and grave and just for her, "I would not ask of thee to honor any promise thou made before; I do not expect thee to have waited for me, when we both thought I should never return. But — Amárië, melmenya, despite all else, my heart has not changed."

In which Amárië is faced with the complications of an unexpectedly-returned betrothed, and the confusion of newly-burgeoning desires - some of which are quite shameful indeed...

OR, elves don't talk about sex and Amárië has to invent pegging.

Me: With my constant need for validation it’s too bad I only write fanfic for a single pairing and it’s basically a rarepair in terms of people still active in the fandom. Maybe I should try to explore a more popular pairing

Me, two seconds later: What if instead of any of my current WIP I start drafting soft!femdom Amárië/Finrod that literally no one wants in this day and age

Because someone is on the ball, Turner Classic is playing (among other WWII films) The Great Dictator today.

If you haven't seen it, please do. It was produced by Charlie Chaplin in the late 1930s, when it became clear that the war was going to happen, and came out in 1940 after it had started. Essentially, Chaplin realized that his famous mustache was about to be usurped forever by a fascist, and that fascist was going to kill a lot more people in the future than he had already.

It's a parody, made before the worst horrors of the Nazi regime were known to the general public, so there is discomfort here (if you've seen Disney's Der Fuhrer's Face, you'll get the idea), but the movie ends with Chaplin essentially saying "fuck it, no one else seems to be speaking out about this and I'm going to use my platform to do that."

For context, this character is a Jew who has been mistaken for the dictator (for obvious mustache-related reasons), and has been sent onstage at a rally to give a speech. Instead of trying to impersonate Hitler, he says what he really thinks. And keep in mind, Chaplin was coming out of semi-retirement for this. It was the first time most people had ever heard him speak, and this is what he said:

bonus: did you learn it this way? does size have anything to do with it

It took me less than 30 seconds to go to Amazon, type in the name of the book, and flip through the title slides to find

1) aside from the extremely obvious fact that doctor/patient relationships automatically qualify as “forbidden romance” it’s also age gap

2) An excerpt from the book which immediately proves that the snippet above is not from the book

A frankly concerning number of the notes on this are from people who took it at face value that the excerpt above was real, and - even more concerningly - somehow thought it could be sincere.

I mean, I know this is the reading-comprehension-and-trolling website, but it kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth that a random 20-something is having absurdist parody writing attributed to her and no one cares enough to do basic fact checking.

Being 30 is fun. I was discussing anime with a teen at work and asked her how much of bnha she had watched. She had trouble answering and wasn't sure how to approach it. I said "better question was who was your husbando" and she turned bright red before mumbling an answer. They never expect me to know how deep their love of anime boys runs....
