the student said, "i'm reading a zen buddhist cookbook. with no recipes." and the teacher replied, "ah, dogen's instructions for the cook, written in 1237?" "yeah," said the student, "it's saying not to let rats fall into the rice pot"

omg, i got this notification:

and the post in question is about mark scout from severance, but i spent a solid minute trying to figure out when mark immortell and bad grief from pathologic get to interact with each other, and more specifically when i would have posted about such a thing - they're both showmen of different kinds, and they probably have a lot to learn from each other!

I am obsessed with fictional guys being really weird about each other. Hard at work in the plausible deniability mines. You know those pairings who would jerk each other off before they'd kiss

oh you’re a fan of my blog? name five of my worst opinions

meta imposter syndrome: that little voice insisting "you only get to call it imposter syndrome if you're actually good, otherwise it's just the truth"

guys what's your methods? personally i think about doctors examining me, works like a charm

sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices

ive been seeing a lot of posts about this recently so i was wondering about peoples reading of gertrude and ophelia’s relationship, as well as gertrude’s part in ophelia’s death

i'm so impressed with the props and set dressing in this show, and how someone had to come up with the verbiage of all the handbooks and newspaper articles and propaganda pamphlets, even if it'll only be in frame for a moment, because some nerd like me is going to pause and see what they can glean about the world. they didn't have to put that much loving detail into it, but they did anyway

uh, quick poll

hey how much do you think it haunts mark that he had to be reminded to tell gemma he loves her on what is (flagged to be) the night of the accident? also love and am upset by the echo of the christmas thank you cards room. i love this episode and i'm in pain

oh noooo, i got to 2.7 and mark and gemma are SO in love, god!!

boy, i would LOVE for streaming services to have a button to skip scenes with gore, the same way you can skip recaps or opening titles
