i simply think that it should be illegal for little treats to cost more than $2

i should be able to dig through your average american's couch for spare change and obtain a little treat with what i find

what did the founders of our nation fight and die for if not this

There’s not too much point in talking about the election anymore, but I think some people are misconstruing the results. 21% of the American population voted for trump. He won the popular vote with polls only recording a 43.7% approval rating, and he has never held an approval rating over 50%, something that Biden and (arguably) Harris have. He lost millions of votes from 2020 to 2024, it’s just that Harris lost millions more.

All this is to say that there is not some ‘silent majority’ of trump supporters in America. While some people will definitely be emboldened in their rhetoric and action by the results of the election, Trump was a deeply unpopular president, and is shaping up to be one again. He will enact unpopular policies that are against the will of the average American, but that doesn’t mean every American is out to get you. Engage with your local community, check in on loved ones, and maybe even take a look at local political offices in the coming few years. If you dislike the two party system, volunteer or donate to a third party. It’s altogether likely we see another 2022 situation, resentment grows further against the Republican Party, and the midterms offer a lot of opportunity to alternatives, at every level of government.

It may all feel like the end, but it’s not. We’ve been through it before, and no matter what we do, hate and ignorance will bleed through the cracks in society again in the future. It’s going to get better, but that’s easier to say if we make it better.

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again

People who try to copy historical writing styles don't say enough weird stuff in them. I'm listening to a 1909 story about a ghost car right now, and the narrator just said he honked the car horn a bunch of times, but the way he phrased it was "I wrought a wild concerto on the hooter".

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

Someone on TikTok had the fucking audacity to say “Evanora wished she’d killed Agatha the moment she left her body but Agatha begged Death to spare Nicholas’ life before he ever left hers” and now I am SOBBING

The fact that Jen is just out there believing the Witches' Road actually exists, completely oblivious to the fact that Billy was the one that created it is absolutely hilarious.

Someone living in Sweden during the Iron Age wore this cloak. Unfortunately, they wore it while they were murdered: forensic analysis found the holes in the cloak match how stabs would have penetrated the folds of the cloak when it was being worn.

Dating to 360 to 100 BCE, is also the oldest known example of a houndstooth pattern!

and just like that 16 out of 32 gifs are already gone and it's round two of the Charles Gif Tournament! I'm sorry for the pain I seem to have inflicted by making you all choose, and all I can say is that it's only going to get harder and harder from here... as always, the other choices are in the reblogs & if you can, like and share so that more people see this and get to vote ♥️ hope you enjoy round two! ✨

#Agatha Harkness, number one scammer

Bonus, she tried to not be a scammer for one second:

Nicky started his Ballad of the Windy Road and these were the best times he had together with his mum, playing and creating together. The one time she had him use their private song to lure in more witches to kill, he refused to go along with it, because it tainted the special thing they'd made together.

The last thing they did before he died was sing the song aa a bedtime lullaby and his last words were Maiden, Mother, Crone. Probably the reason why Agatha chose that locket specifically as her most prised possession.

His lasting legacy for the world is that song, and she tainted it. Luckily, other artists in the world took inspiration from it to create something beautiful again, like Lorna Wu's gift to her daughter. Unlike Lorna, Agatha is likely ashamed that she made Nicky's song into something he would have hated. It's why she can't face him. (Ironically, Lorna's child still hated her for that song. That's mother/child relationships for you! It's complicated. It's what happens every time Billy and Agatha argue.)

Then Billy created a road from what Nicky had made. With Agatha's instructions at every turn, Billy added the rules to his road. So, in a way, Billy and Agatha walked the road and created it as they went along. The darkness that lies in both of them is likely what made it so deadly. That, and they summoned Death to the road in the first place.

I believe the road still exists, and what will be added to it are the legendary names: Sharon Davies, Alice Gulliver Wu, and Lilia Calderu. Seekers of the road will have to know their names to summon the door. Sort of like an X marks the spot sorta deal.
