i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about

I think it's a sign of good media when you have to reread or rewatch it to get the full experience. First time is for getting your brain blasted by the story and being confused second time is for knowing who's who and what's what and willingly getting your brain blasted again.

She cried for other reasons too — that the “Succession” chapter of her life has ended. “I’ll never have an opportunity to speak those lines, or get given new lines, new jokes, new worlds for Shiv and Roman to exist in together,” Snook says. “Just sadness for never getting a moment to play with these brilliant actors again.” (When I tell her that Culkin had said to me that perhaps Shiv and Roman might make up at some point, Snook brightens. “I feel like Shiv and Roman would reconcile in a way where he would be the shitty but great weird uncle for her kid, and there might be some sort of strange little family unit that gets splintered off.”) - Sarah Snook, Variety.

society and makeup companies to women at all times: you have to wear makeup, like you literally have to or else you look like a corpse, so wear it you fucking corpse. aren't you terrified of getting old? aren't you insecure about your little blemishes? we have the $80 solution.

someone online: you don't have to wear makeup

someone else in response, without fail, every single time: yeah but it's okay if you want to wear makeup :). I mean, it's a personal choice, which involves no coercion from the constant social pressures that dictate how women should present themselves, so go ahead! Don't let mean people bully you into thinking it's okay to have flaws in your skin.

Fic Rec FriSaturday - Older Folks Edition!

I’m always meaning to do a round-up post of fic recs and then I never do (and now I’m doing it but couldn’t even get it done by the day I had planned!). Anyway, it struck me that I have been especially blessed over the last week or two with a bunch of wonderful stories featuring amazing older characters. Yes, we all love the young folks who are so hot and dynamic and fun, but let’s not neglect the older folks, who have so much to offer a story — the wisdom/burden of experience, a personality that has sharpened and defined over a longer period and, yes, often still hotness, fun and/or dynamism! So here are 3 recents that I’ve read and loved and that star someone who isn’t a classic hot young blorbo:

1. Sweets In A Time of War (Círdan/OC) by @dilettantefeminist : They don’t get much older than Círdan, and his age has made him warm, wise, comforting and more than a bit otherworldly. This fic is explicit (though it’s nuanced intimacy rather than just bluntly graphic) but it’s also packed with interesting and emotional themes — the redemptive power of art, persisting through adversity and despair to find meaning and purpose, the value of humility, etc. It’s somehow an explicit fic that speaks to my emotional self and has a great OC, Núrien, who made me feel seen as a person!

2. when the sun rises (Théoden/Finduilas) by @hobbitwrangler : A modern AU where Denethor doesn’t know how close he is to losing everything because widower neighbor Théoden is developing the loveliest, gentlest, most caring connection with the depressed and exhausted Finduilas. It’s got tinges of bittersweet to go with the loveliness, but this whole fic is a sparkly, glowing bubble of warmth on a cold, beautiful snowy night. And the ending really hits you with the feelings!

3. Don’t Fret, Dear (Théodred & OC) by @celeluwhenfics : Théodred crosses paths with Waerblith, an old healer who is intent on helping him with an injury that she can’t fully comprehend. This Théodred is gentle and introspective and creative, which I love, and Waerblith is everything you could want in a comforting, assured maternal figure — the kind of woman a whole éored of young men look to as a surrogate parent because she truly cares about each one of them. She’s a worthy Rohirrim counterpart to Ioreth in every sense (and if you know how much I enjoy Ioreth, you know what high praise that is)! It’s a story with sadness but so much heart and beauty as well and a lovely little reveal at the end that speaks to this Théodred’s driving motivations.

Once I put a post out into the world I cannot control what ppl do with it but when I take care to say how much a platonic friendship resonates with me and still have ppl yapping about romance in the tags I do have to stare out the window in solidarity with my aro siblings
