Y'all, I finally started reading Gideon the Ninth, and I finally realized I can plop my thoughts here.

There's a character, cavalier of the seventh house, who is immediately kinda shitty to Gideon. The first thing he does is protest.

I picture Muir, upon introducing this character, going,"This guy is just doing nothing but protesting and being lousy. Protestilaus."

But that leads to another question.

When Protestilaus is with his family, are they Protestilice?

Liberals love to be like “why are there Nazis around we used to fight nazis” meanwhile America was actually pretty chill with the holocaust until those evil Japanese attacked us

So Tesla shareholders are suing Elon Musk for allegedly using Twitter while doing hard drugs, making it the first time a rich white guy has gotten into legal trouble for using drugs

Why you should elect me for president

I would institute Kulinday as a USA day off holiday (July 24)

I would mandate History Of Life / Paleontology classes in all K-12 schools

I would dissolve all police forces and military groups

I would then step down immediately

you can't lose

In one of the extra comics Marcille mentions that elves don't have body hair, her included. So Falin staring at a naked pussy is Canon

I mean, I hear what you're saying but...

To be 100% honest, this feels really ambiguous. She's a little too worked up in that second panel. Like, a lot of people have interpreted it as her being defensive and self-conscious about the fact that she shaves and waxes religiously (especially in the context of a trans headcanon) and that feels more right to me?

My personal interpretation is that she really doesn't grow little facial hairs (partially bc we've seen Senshi's huge beard turn into a tiny little elf stache so there is some real evidence for that). But then she doesn't actually know if she has peach fuzz or not and gets REALLY flustered about being scrutinized before she can check for herself and shave off anything she doesn't like.

But either way, my point is that I don't think we're meant to take Marcille's words here at 100% face value and consider it evidence for elf physiology.

And listen. I think Marcille should have a bald pussy in the bath scene bc rule of funny. But beyond that, I want to believe elves can grow pubic hair. I want to believe in the postcanon blondie bush. She's exponentially cuter with it, and I don't want Falin to have to eat bald pussy for the rest of her life. I'm only half joking when I say I want it as a part of her character growth. At the end of the story, Marcille Donato accepts that she is a living, breathing animal that eats and will be eaten and sweats and shits and grows hair all over her body. She learns to accept mortality, starts to reconcile with the inherent grotesqueness of being alive, and most importantly, lets her bush grow out for the first time in her life. And it's beautiful.

modern dc comics could be fixed if tim drake got to cheat again

So with any sort of Astarion ship there's the attendant fantasy of being at your lowest point, traumatized, bitter, chewed up and spat out but having someone who accepts this about you and loves you regardless. But i think what i love about wyllstarion is that there's the additional fantasy of having someone who's willing to be an absolute screaming karen for you. Someone who is willing to yell at your shitty dad.

im seeing completely serious rhetoric about trump stealing the vote and how we need to recount so kamala can win and oh my godddddddddd i wish this was satire i wish i could make this up

[koboldfactory]

how do you let your teeth get that bad, besides wiping your ass and showering its the most basic way of grooming

simple. Years of depression during and after college where I took very poor care of myself. Despite having very good dental hygiene now, the damage was already done and problems just keep stacking up over time

every day I think about what ray saw in fraser that prompted him to follow this man to a diner and invite him home for dinner

Every time Salmondean have a Talk about Dean's feelings, it goes like this:

Now and then I have a little giggle when I recall that JJ Abrams made Rey Palpatine's grandkid via some sort of nonsensical cloning plot. It's not the worst thing in the ST but I do think it's emblematic of why it's bad. Signifier without substance. Derivative *and* gutless. Tried to rip off ESB without understanding how the Vader reveal works as a narrative beat, gave Sheev spawn, and didn't even have enough courage of their convictions to admit that he fucks.

Like we all know Vader spent two decades pining gloomily after Padmé. But Palpatine? Sheev Palpatine? The guy whose two modes are smiling smug self-satisfied secret smiles to himself and crowing POWER, UNLIMITED POWER? The guy who cackles with maniacal relish anytime he gets to let his hair down and have a lightsaber fight? That guy is a hedonist. Tell me I'm wrong. That man is at all times enjoying the hell out of being irredeemably evil. He is a literal emperor, the vastly powerful and mostly unchallenged ruler of the galaxy, reveling in a victory he spent many years plotting and scheming for. And they had to invent some half-assed narrative afterthought of a cloning program rather than simply allowing us to assume that at some point in the two+ decades between ROTS and ROTJ, that man got laid? The cowardice. The incompetence. The sheer commitment to taking every conceivable L
