No more "Fernando is a cat" "Fernando is a bunny" "Fernando is a cockroach" etc. Fernando is a dik-dik, I rest my case:

Paris, yesterday (03/23/23). This is an excerpt from a video by journalist Amar Taoualit posted on twitter

This is what they’re doing to a peaceful, registered-with-the-proper-authorities march.

You can hear protesters shouting “children! there are children!” and “that’s my grandfather! my grandfather is on the ground!”

I think some families felt safe going because traditionally, union-backed, “registered” marches are peaceful and the riot police waits until they officially end, when only the more radical protesters are left, to attack. Not saying that is fine, but there was a tacit agreement for peace during the first hours of a protest. (That’s exactly what happened in Lyon yesterday, and there were also a few kids among protesters. It ended up being fine but it made me very anxious to see them, and it looks like I was right to worry.)

Things turned extremely violent in the night. I don’t feel like chronicling it, but suffice to say there were more that 900 fires in Paris. I don’t know what to think of the overwhelming silence from international media on the subject.

Anyway, I know that in principle we should all be able to protest and the police shouldn’t attack, and we’re supposed to be a democracy and we shouldn’t bow down to wanna-be autocrats that want to suppress our voices, etc.

La réalité c’est que pour quelques temps en tout cas, il faut laisser nos enfants à la maison, et que si vous êtes âgé, malade (asthmatique !), déjà blessé, personne handicapée, etc. il vaut peut-être mieux passer votre tour pour ces manifs-là. Il y a d’autres façons d’agir.

Notamment, je suis sûre que les syndicats ont besoin d’aide logistique et d’argent, et LFI, dont les députés sont sur le terrain, sur les piquets de grève, a certainement toujours besoin de plus de militants (j’ai pas ma carte chez eux pour être claire, mais je pense que c’est le parti qui soutient le plus sincèrement le mouvement).

I'll tell you.

I have never truly seen a more fitting character to be headcanon-ed as Italian than Barty Crouch Jr.

(And I'm Italian, bro)

Reading Dracula fanfiction from the 2000s is a wild ride sometimes. Vlad III hangs out with Tod from Elisabeth. Seward cucks Henry Wotton and Arthur marries Marian Halcombe. Dracula and Lucy split the Crew between their respective harems. There is a retelling from Dracula POV written by a fourteen year old that is miles better than The Dracula Tape by Fred Saberhagen, the published book with a similar premise. Erik and Christine are also here somehow (and both are vampires, of course).

the thing about matthew/benny is it does make sense. it does. but this does not outweigh the fact that sam bennett looks like the lorax.

We never got enough Tron & Alan moments for my liking.

I truly hate to think how after leaving the Encom system, Tron never gets to communicate with his creator-user & personal diety ever again... & that makes me sad :((((

hrmhrmhrm. the foundry is spewing steam and people are running away and screaming and auggie says "we're going TOWARDS where everyone is running from??" and howard says "these are the moments we decide- in, or out" and auggie says: "out, honestly". but charlotte says "stay" and then he can't, stay out. a spirit rips through auggie but everyone fights to keep him safe, to get the attention away from him. charlotte says: "i need you safe" and auggie says: "i understand."

they ask if he wants to join and auggie says: i dont know. this was- a bit much. and arlo says "you were fantastic, though!" and charlotte says: "if you'll be in danger id rather you be in danger next to me."

and auggie says: well. alright.
