It boggles my mind how much wisdom you can gain from reading, yet people don't take advantage of it. It's the free gift to humanity, and yet we chose the ones that take more than they give. It's wild.
#i wish i could shake humanity to drop social media and turn back to books and papers for knowledge#ive realized recently that ive fallen a victim to the fallacy of thinking that instagram or yt is giving me a lot of knowledge and thats my-#-incentive to stay#but thats bullshit and if i continue lying to myself then ive lost it#and i know im not the only one and i also know that im not the worst case scenario of this#my teacher was talking about how one of his students gave up playing video games cause he was becoming dumb and dull#and he literally said “the damage has already been done because its not like his brains are going to come running to him now”#i was sitting there thinking if its too late for me#i know it might not be that deep and maybe it isnt#but its not about it being “deep” its simply the very real consequences that ill have to deal with if i dont rectify my life now#in terms of academicc and eveything else#i miss reading those massive hardcover encyclopedias and gaining my knowledge from that#i miss reading obscure charles darwin writings that i dig so hard for and then not understand a word of it#i miss the active choice and selection of what i was learning rathee than the mindless feeding of throw away facts to my brain#im gonna go pick up a book or two now bye hahahaha#txt

Very glad my team gets the option to work from home for quarter-end week 😌☕🥐
#ore no kao#especially with an 8:30 3-hour meeting i almost went into the office for since i wanted my second gym day for the week#but seeing a friend last night--really fun/hot (still loving how he loved my ass and how i was blowing his cock 😌😌😌)--ran way late lol#[we grabbed drinks nearby then brought him to my place as it was pouring so that was a nice excuse to remove shirts lol#but ugh between his chest hair his eyes his lips his dick his ass his being a bit taller than me... what was i adding here again]#[he works at a museum and gets freebies sometimes so we did talk about seeing one nearby sometime and we got on really well over drinks too#[had met him at the queer liberation march last year and we stayed in touch some on IG but we saw each other on a site and he hit me up]#[i still have his umbrella since my roomie was in the bathroom with it as he was leaving so that's incentive for next time haha]#anyway should probably try to get some work done 🥱

Heyy I don't usually do this but please keep an eye out for this blog
They've been harassing people on the Merlin subreddit, going as far as to make alternative accounts and DMing members.
And they are here on tumblr and I have confirmation that it is the same person, and they continue to harass people on here through DMs
So please be sure to block them or just be aware that they're going after people for no reason and to not boost their posts. I'm not bothered by this kinda stuff directed at me but if their behavior on reddit is any indicator, please just take this heads up and take care of yourself if you're sensitive to this sort of harassment.
It's been a peaceful run in the Merlin community, especially compared to some other fandoms, I'd like us to keep on taking care of each other and not let someone like this come spoil our love for the show or keep people away from posting their fun art, ideas, and headcanons.
#mine#merlin#beware#never posted a beware before#woah#pls dont tag them#and dont seek them out#just ignore them or block them#let it fizzle out so hopefully they dont have incentive to keep attacking people#pretty sure they were reacting to some of my recent fan art#or something#idk#they're very antagonistic#jusy stay clear is probably best

#'elias you have just replaced your ed with an exercise/health obsession'#yes to a certain extent but also if this genuinely makes me healthier and incentives me to eat enough kcals + nutrients to stay fit..#like sure abby sharp would have a problem with my relationship with diet and exercise but im really living a good quality of life rn so#i dont really see an issue

i dont think i will ever be over nandor tying guillermos cape with such care and focus. that moment its possibly my favourite from the finale NANDOR ACTS OF SERVICE GUY MAKES ME WANNA CLIMB A WALL and the way hes putting guillermo on equal ground now makes my heart grow 3 sizes
and to be honest i dont think they can go back to where they were before. for anyone whos worried. like yeah he told him “now clean up the body” after he reverted back to human but to me that was more like nandors brain going like. “i cooked now you clean”. he went through such a tremendous amount of work to help guillermo. he had the empathy to recognise the problem. he thought it through concocted a plan. he got the robes and the candles and he painted and hung those banners. he held a fakeass ceremony with all their friends and elders so it looked official. he then also comforted guillermo when he couldnt do it and staked derek himself without a second thought. so maybe its was more of a. i pulled you out of a very hairy situation. can you take care of the body now? (also it IS gonna be hard to let go of certain habits so maybe some comments like this are gonna slip out next season, but that is just because they are useless and in guillermos absence the house fucking imploded in one year lmao… maybe guillermo is gonna teach them how to take care of it themselves next season so they can split the workload and cute shenanigans will ensue)
i just dont think it was mean spirited on nandors part tbh. LAZLO even offered to help. i dont think that was just to have him in the next scene i dont think an unusual detail like that could be just for convenience. i do FULLY believe they are gonna all be on equal grounds next season. and thats gonna be so fucking delicious to me specifically
#to see a nandor and guillermo dynamic where nandor has freed himself from the inibitions of a master familiar dynamic? sign me up#he was so fucking warm and caring after he forgave him and idk if i can handle it GOD I LOVE IT#nandermo#what we do in the shadows#wwdits#wwdits spoilers#comment#im making a post out of some of my tags in one of my queued posts bc i#want to put this thought out in the world#i saw a lot of people going now that guillermos human everythings back to the status quo!!! and im like#no the fuck i hope not!! their relationship has consistently moved in a new direction each season#familiar. bodyguard. best man. best friend. now they went through allllll the trouble of showing them having an equals relationship#they made nandor utter the words he will be living in this house as an equal from now on#and next season everythings gonna revert back?? i surely hope not#there is also to be considered from nandors standpoint that now guillermo truly has no more reason to stay. he really isnt a#familiar anymore because he presumably doesnt want to be a vampire anymore (?) so he has to consider#if he wants guillermo to stick around. its gonna have to be out of the love he has for them. and nandor needs to give him an incentive#which would be equal grounds with the vampires even though he isnt one#and guillermo is probably gonna be in such an existential crisis mode that hes not even gonna notice all the cute things nandor is doing#for him now for a WHILE. until he does and thats gonna be delicious#anyway. why do i keep making excellent points in the tags this could have been a post

MY FRIENDS REACTION TO THE TOP GUN (1986) REACTION POST
In case you don't know what I'm talking about: I made a post a while ago of gems my friend said whilst watching Top Gun (1986) for the first time. I showed her the post, and she created even more gems about Top Gun derived from what she said originally! I'd suggest you read the other post, because some are references to prior gems. Enjoy!
"TOM CRUISE IS OLD, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE?"
"I said that? Jesus, I have the memory of a fish." (About: "Did he really need to be in his underwear for this conversation?")
"I DID COMMENT ON THE VOLLEYBALL SCENE!" "I distinctly remember laughing about you not saying anything." "I said 'Ah yes, the hetero scene that actually looks really gay.' Because it does. How the fuck are you gonna play sports looking like a hot piece of ass without looking gay? You're not supposed to be hot! Especially in volleyball. Why did they choose volleyball to make them look hot? You're supposed to slap that fucking ball, not be like 'hahaha look at me, I'm so dainty and pretty.' THAT'S GAY!"
"I'm only stating the obvious, these people should already know this."
"Iceman is the gayest in the entire movie."
"No! Actually, it's his plane buddy. His plane buddy is the gayest." "... Mind telling me why?" "He always says that he has a hard on."
"OH MY GOD THEY COULD BE EXES! It's not possible he always has a hard on. I KNOW IT'S AN EXPRESSION IN THE UNITED STATES BUT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. They've definitely hooked up. Not in the movie, I think it was before he met Maverick, but there's no doubt."
"You wouldn't say that you have a hard on to just anyone."
"And I didn't even look anything up, I just watched the movie."
"I don't think it's possible to surpass the gayness in Top Gun."
(Upon being informed that Slider was not, in fact, the one with the hard on) "HE'S NOT? Oh, then it has nothing to do with Iceman. But I still think that they (Hollywolf) had something, that's the dynamic that I got the gay vibe from."
"I bet both of the actors are blond, or whatever." (shakes head) "I don't give a shit."
"It's not my fault the NPC's look like the protagonist!"
(Scrolling through the Icemav tag on tumblr) "There's a lot of fanart. A lot of fanart of them making out."
"Only the superiors aren't gay in this movie."
"Making out in a corner, having a fling with the best friend, there's definitely one of those somewhere in the middle."
"Oh look! More fanart of them making out."
"Even the handsome guy that seems like a protagonist but is actually an NPC looks gay! He has that gay vibe, I don't know." (Reminder: This a reference to the phrase "He's to handsome to be a rando!" This man had like 2 minutes of screen time on the Enterprise at the start of the movie, and a little at the end during the Layton Rescue. 2 min might be an exaggeration.)
BONUS: Reaction to Quentin Tarantino discussing Top Gun in "Sleep With Me" (1994)
(Silence for 30 seconds) "I... agree with everything he said... but I'm in shock."
I never... thought a straight man would say so much gay shit in three minutes.... but he's right."
"That part where he says about the girl, Maverick's chick, dressing up like a guy, I hadn't noticed. He's a genius."
"When he says 'STARFIGHT! STARFIGHT!' I don't know if he was crazy, high or hallucinating."
"Them screaming 'STARFIGHT! STARFIGHT!' looked like they were on crack. And they were just talking about a movie."
"If a military movie ever happens to be openly gay, it'll become a whore house."
"And the worst part is that he convinced the dude! My guy just watched Top Gun for fun..."
EXTRAS (The original language all of the phrases were said in was Portuguese. I had to translate all of them. You're welcome.):
"How am I going to translate 'Puteiro'?" "Aren't there any prostitutes in the United States?" (I went with "Whore House")
"How am I going to translate 'se pegaram'?" "There's a word for it in English, I forgot it.... eeeehhhh" "Hooked up?" "I meant to say that they fucked, but sure." "'Hooked up' can mean sex." "It can? Great, use that then!"
"How many phrases are there? I'm scared. I don't remember the atrocities I said."
My friend, who fueled this entire post: @annonimouslesbian
#she has yet to watch top gun maverick#I guarantee it's coming#stay tunned for top gun maverick#shes pumped to do it now with the incentives#stop fueling her ego#I already have a list of out of pocket things my friend group has said#help me#iceman x maverick#icemav#pete maverick mitchell#pete mitchell#tg86#tg:m#tom iceman kazansky#tom kazansky#top gun#top gun 1986#top gun maverick#top gun iceman#tom cruise#gay pilots#ron slider kerner#rick hollywood neven#leonard wolfman wolfe#hollywolf#quentin tarantino#quentin tarantino top gun commentary#sleep with me#ice#this entire thing was created between 11PM and 1AM on a fucking monday

tbh it's all speculation and every source says that they HOPE cruise will return. considering cruise just announced he's moving to warner bros i think they're doing damage control and really hope they can do it because he's their cash cow. until cruise himself confirms it i don't believe it.
yeah im with you on this, a lot of people have been saying this which is good.
I actually believe a top gun 3 will never be made because you CANNOT reasonably convince people the f-35 is a bad plane for two movies in a row. So they have to use the f-35, but tom cruise will never agree to make the movie because there are no two-seater f-35s so they'd have to use CGI lol
*I wanna stress I'm not like Anti-topgun3... im just anti- creative bankruptcy for the sake of a profit incentive... which a lot of Hollywood seems to be engaging in these days. endless sequels & prequels to profit off people's nostalgia for inarguably better movies of the past.
I've tried to keep my criticism of TGM to a minimum on this blog bc it really is a good movie &I hate to be Such a Crank All the Time, but its exactly my criticism of TGM too. As a story, it literally just reuses the same themes and motifs of the first movie with a few character tweaks & modern-warfare set dressing. rebellious kid (only rooster goes slow and not fast) who got shut out of the Navy (which for recruiting propaganda purposes is the Most Desirable Place To Be) needs to connect with a father figure to get over the ghosts of his past and reach his full potential. okay. it's the same story. it's literally A New Hope versus The Force Awakens levels of "we've seen this all before."
like im racking my brain trying to figure out how they would possibly write a third movie with the available threads left to pick up... I hope tom cruise says "no thank you" and top gun 3 languishes in development hell because my only answer is "I think the story is gonna suck shit"
#so I am anti top gun 3 actually.#like... they're not writing a third movie because they have another good story to tell. that's what's insulting about it.#they're writing it bc its gonna make a lotta money. just like tgm.#you guys are right in that it may just be incentive for cruise to stay which is understandable because he's tom cruise 😍#but from a creative perspective it just makes me :(((((((#like regardless of if the movie actually gets made or not it just feels like a sad hail mary move on behalf of these giant studios#luckily the movie will never be made bc of the f-35 thing#unless... Lockheed releases the NGAD...#top gun 3 becomes an advertisement for 6th gen air defense#?

I LOVE UR NEW BLOG LAYOUT 💥💥💥💥💥💥
anyway i have oc question :3 sort of like a part two to this question you asked me about how Anton would experiment on Aisling: how would Aisling react to all that? how would all those experiments effect him? what would he do and stuff?
AHHH THANK YOUUU 💖💖💖 I think at first he’d be pretty insistent on escaping, especially after any experimentation happens. He’s never really interacted with humans in a way that could cause him harm besides rosé but he also doesn’t view him as a human so this would be completely uncharted territory for him. He’d try to interact with Anton as minimally as possible, only really answering certain questions and trying to give evasive answers when he knows it’s something that will be used to hurt him later. During the actual experimentation, he’d probably have pretty frequent panic attacks. It’s invasive and wrong and he hates the way it all feels. He’d beg for it to stop even if begging would only make everything else worse.
I feel like a big turnaround point would be when he loses enough magic to the point he can’t hold his form anymore. That would sort of be when he realizes it’s hopeless. He’s stuck here and everything that happens is entirely out of control. As a last ditch effort he may try to bargain with Anton in order to figure out something just to make it all hurt a bit less. Like giving up his name in order for guaranteed sedatives or something along those lines. He’d completely lose any spark he had before of defiance.
^ this might be a bit different depending on whether dew is also there or not as we’ve sort of talked about before. he’d feel better if there was another person (especially dew) who he could talk to. It would take a lot longer for him to lose that spark, even after he’s been drained. He’d want to keep him as happy as he can under these circumstances. i feel like if things ever got really bad for dew he probably would use his abilities to sort of erase bits of that here and there which definitely wouldn’t be received well by either anton or dew if they found out but hey he’s trying to help :( why are you getting upset you’re the one who caused that pain im just trying to make it go away so he doesn’t break completely :(((
#whump#ask#scenario#tllr#whump community#whumpblr#crep’s ocs#aisling oc#he would not handle it well#also as much as he might care about dew if that guy EVER gets sick while being in the same room as him he is#hiding in a corner and crying and begging to be let out#he is doing so great#i feel like there is a possibility of a violent reaction from him too if he’s pushed way over the edge but#it’s pretty unlikely#plus if he ended up in one of those cages and had to constantly stand or wrap his cloak (if he still has it) in order to prevent burns#he might have a bit more of an incentive to stay peaceful!

Let's play "Is the seasonal depression coming back strong or am I just days/hours away from getting my period and my serotonin levels are, therefore, below the Earth's surface?"
#literally nothing excites me anymore rn#i turn on my switch to play and I'm exhausted barely two minutes in#i can't watch a series cause I'm not in the appropriate mood/headspace#i don't even bother opening the fic doc these days cause i know I'm gonna give up after like. 10 words#haven't gotten any more comments asking for updates on L&L thank God#but i did get a very guilt-trippy anon like. a few weeks ago or so? when someone asked if I still did yakuza hcs#i didn't see it until now#said smt like 'now imagine all the people who sent you requests crying and going HOW COULD YOU DELETE THEM? :)'#which like... fuck you then#i wish my hyperfixations could stay still for ten fucking minutes but guess what. that shit ain't up to me#and those kinds of asks are really NOT an incentive to come back to writing yakuza stuff if I ever jump back to it#like. girl I deleted all my hc posts before. you don't want that to happen again#but in any case that ask is the reason I've taken anon privileges away#I'm already hanging on by a thread and have barely functioned as a normal person this past week—#one more guilt trip and/or someone asking for fic updates and I'm gonna go ham on somebody
