One of my favorite things about The Magnus Archives fics is the implication that any of these people like each other in literally any way whatsoever.

#the way everyone hates Jon is lowkey hilarious #and the way they all fight tooth and nail to also keep each other alive is even better #peak coworker relationships #it’s like siblings but worse #the magnus archives #I’m relistening to the series and realized I never glanced at fic and omg #I love the fanon need to make any of this palatable #Tim would kill Jon for literally a free drink but he also won’t let anyone else kill Jon #that’s insane person behavior #EVERYONE is hostile at all times #just 24/7 #I love them

Actually research skills are hard to learn especially unsupervised so maybe telling people to just "Go figure it out" especially if you already know they've been failed academically in other ways, might actually be a great way to just send them to a PragerU video on the topic.

#Like what specific things do you look for in a good source?#How do you develop sources that you can trust to give you new information?#These take looking at and analyzing good and bad sources with a trusted educator #Not being told by someone on the internet that you should “Already know this”#“That's no excuse” it literally is I'm sorry that you think everyone should be perfect but that's not how things are #everyone (even you) has shit they probably should know but don't #There's new people being born all the time they do not spring from the womb with the same knowledge in your head!#And we live in an actively hostile information environment!#Just seems like maybe we could focus our rage cannons on institutions #Instead of individual people who were failed by them #When younger americans bring up how they were failed in this regard they are often asking for help even #And just get hit with this stupid rage at someone else possibly not knowing something that seems obvious #I'm just saying for a bunch of people priding themselves on not being as bad as the children; the folks who talk like this aren't acting it

i need a fic of soap bringing ghost home to his family for the holidays. his family’s always disapproved of everything; being queer, being in the military, being with ghost and it’s all over not a great time but they’re trying to pretend for the sake of the holiday. they get into it after dinner one night though and for once soap isn’t backing down, not when it’s ghost they’re attacking, when the power suddenly goes out. soap moves just in time for a shot to come through the window and he orders his family to get down

graves and what’s left of shadow company followed them to glasgow; it’s the first time they’ve been away from the 141 and they think it’ll be their best chance to take them out. johnny and simon are left behind as they become soap and ghost and soap’s childhood home becomes a battleground, his hysterical family who still think he can’t be that good of a soldier now civilians that he has to protect and get out in one piece

#its the full gambit of sisters with their partners and kids #all with respectable normal jobs and lives #then theres john still running around playing soldier and now shacking up with his commanding officer #soaps been quiet the entire time just gritting his teeth and letting them have go after go in the name of peace #ghosts been fuming the entire time but his own family trauma and not wanting to go against johnnys wishes keeps his mouth shut #and then that instant switch the second the bullet comes through the window #theyre sergeant mactavish and lieutenant ghost now and they dont give a single shit about anything butgetting out alive #‘we need to call the police!’#‘call local pd who’re drunk off their arses and never fired their guns in their fucking lives yeah right’#‘this isnt the time for you to play soldier’#‘youre right. this isnt a game. its war and youre gonna shut the fuck up and let me get you outta this alive’#ghost sneaks upstairs to get the hidden guns he brought and to get one of the kids whod been napping #soap stays to get everyone out of the way and watch out for hostiles #ghost slides him a sniper rifle and he takes out the sniper on the opposite roof and when he looks back at his family theyre #looking at him like theyve never seen him before #i just need soap whos been underestimated his entire life showing just how competent he really is #soapghost #ghostsoap #soap mactavish #soap cod #ghost cod #simon ghost riley #we’re a team. ghost team

#I wasn’t going to post abt this again but it rlly bothered me #I rlly dislike how normalized condescension and downright hostility in the lolita community is #all I did was send a silly little tier list that I put my own time and effort into making #but instead of just…. doing the ranking multiple people decided to be blatantly rude to me because of the title?#like 1. it doesn’t even matter 2. it’s just the fucking title #they also seemed to blatantly misinterpreted what the title was #it said ERA at the end because it was a tier list of the era that AP made things in that particular style #the title wasn’t ‘aps Swassic releases’#I just didn’t know what else to title it yet somehow that was enough to be rude to my fucking face and even comment further to basically #make fun of me #genuinely it’s tiring and ridiculous #sorry that I didn’t title it #the era that angelic pretty made some Swassic #some gothic #some creepy cute #and some sweet releases #like jfc this community’s issue with nitpicking and condescension is why people no longer want to try and do fun things #everyone always asks why blogs and YouTube channels and lolita media in general is dying and it’s because #trying to do anything even for fun in this community is met with these kinds of responses #over a TITLE #that literally doesn’t fucking matter #like I try very hard to avoid ranting because I don’t like conflict but what the fuck #it’s very disheartening #I mean maybe they didn’t realize I made it and they were pretty much making fun of me to my face but even the #why be ok with making fun of smthn ANYONE did just for fun #yaps

"Mr. Page received your letter directed unto my lady Anne, and delivered the same. There is yet no answer. She gave kind words, but will not promise to speak to the King for you." Cromwell to the Cardinal.

#anne boleyn #anneboleynedit #still on my quest of posting all non-chapuys primary source quotes on anne...#also either a suggestion of conversion or detracting from arguments vis a vis cromwell's 'lutheranism'...in this same letter he says #he wished luther had never been born. so.#just love how suggestive this quote is lol #she could speak for you. but she won't <3 #at the same time this is a feature you see come up again and again in. again #non chapuys primary sources . of people that actually spoke with or communicated directly with anne #thomas wynter says the same (she spoke very kindly to him was his quote iirc)#which runs rather counter to the narrative that she was needlessly hostile~ to everyone. and suggests even when she gave you a refusal.#it was gentle but firm .#henry viii #also the prevailing myth that all including cromwell of wolsey's 'affinity' despised her bcus they blamed her for his downfall...#they either weren't all that close to him or they didn't really blame her. richard page is the messenger here #and he seems to have enjoyed a very warm relationship with anne #page also had ties to henry fitzroy and anne stanhope. things that make you go hmmm

ramblings on Li Ming (and Heart) and homosexuality

moonlight chicken has so many things to offer in terms of technical beauty and interesting themes but what i cannot stop thinking about is the different ways they approach homosexuality in the story.

we have Wen who has a rainbow flag on his desk and pictures of him and Alan on the wall. Wen, who openly flirts with Jim and has no qualms talking openly about his one night stand. Wen, whose step father knows about his sexuality and is close enough with him to discuss his love life.

Kaipa we don’t know too much about. But his mom knows and is supportive and some of the vendors and the chicken family seem to know. But if anyone was questioning in what reality this show is set with all the class discussion and corona featuring, his part of the story shows that homophobia exists and he is worried about how he fits in with his own family, the expectations of his mother and possible the awareness that he makes the family he has “different”.

Jim is arguably even more visibly gay than Wen in terms of what we see throughout the show. He opened the shop with his ex, they prayed at the temple together and even though he objected due to proprities sake eventually they loudly declared their love to each other and the whole neighbourhood knows. Wen somehow feels like he is living in the remnants of a bubble: his circle of friends seems very queer, his closest friend and the whole gym seem to be all part of that as well. This only might change now with him questioning his work and breaking up with Alan: some gatherings he won’t attend anymore apparently.

And finally, we have Li Ming. At school he doesn’t seem to open up to his classmates on most things and additionally is in the closet. While there wasn’t anything alluding to homophobic rethoric being spread at school we can see how the heteronormativity gets to him and feel that there must be good reason as to why no one knows. And it could just be how Li Ming is judging the situation based on vibes, we don’t know. His mother is or at least was homophobic but at the same time he is raised by his gay uncle who is surrounded by other gay people. And I love how it feels like this might have given him enough security to be comfortable with his own sexuality but how it also isn’t enough to shield him from the world at large.

With so many great shows coming out of Thailand and most of them getting more and more political it just feels so real and 2023 to me that Li Ming is part of a generation that knows who they are but still have to battle with the shadow that homophobia has cast way before they were born.

#moonlight chicken #i had this in my draft for a week now thinking if i'd get the time i could put this more leloquently but that was a lie as it turns out #might edit some stuff later #but for now i just have to write about how fantastic this show is for giving these varied realities of queer life #which are all influenced by their environment but also in the way the characters connect across generations #we don't know if him had a gay mentor who could've guided him #whereas li ming technically has him and his neighbourhood friends to reference #but li ming - understandibly so - seems more closeted than anyone else (minus Heart possigly)#in middle school everyone around me proclaimed how supportive they were of lgbt+ rights #but as soon as one guy came out he become the TALK of the school for weeks #he got reduced to his sexuality #and when he dated a girls some months after he got called attention seeking for coming out as gay before #and most people thought they were doing an open-minded thing #and despite knowing that i know that i am not the only queer kid who decided to not come out lest we'd become that talk of the whole school #and our dating lives scrutinized #even though all of us were super comfortable with who we are #and for me that was mostly the case because i had adult lesbian role models close to my family #so i knew i was good and that nothing strange was going on #but still - this othering made the school environment hostile enough to keep me in the closet #so yes - i am extremely delighted with how they depict this dynamic with li ming

my boss is abusive like straight up <3 <3 <3 not even in a "donate to my gofundme to help me escape an abusive living situation and by that i mean my roommate asked me to do the dishes" type of way. like i am literally trapped in the cycle of build up explosive incident honeymoon phase

#WOMEN IN MALE DOMINATED FIELDS!!!!!#she spent literally all day yesterday (which is 12 hours btw bc there are no boundaries in this industry) berating me and making me feel #like i couldn't do anything right and i cried like four times and called my dad (lol) and was genuinely shaking like a chihuahua by the end #of it #and then today she's acting like my best friend and giving me cigarettes and i cried on a call in front of everyone and told her i felt lik #she was hostile to me and she apologized and was like yeah im fighting with my husband so that's why i was feeling hostile #which is like okay but not an excuse to terrorize me like that lol #ugh. i had this moment of perverse relief yesterday when i thought she was basically just looking for reasons to fire me and i was like oka #well at least this might be over soon even though that means i have to start the job hunt again #but now the horror is dawning on me that she wants to keep me here and It's Never Over #like this is insane i need to leave i need a new job

I need a Rebels Modern AU that has Chopper as an orange cat & an absolute menace (a.k.a. typical orange cat)

#knocking things off tables and shelves #zoomies at all times of day #tracking litter everywhere #no braincells just war crimes #he's that type of cat who's an affectionate angel to his mama #and he's indifferent or hostile to everyone else #i don't have the energy to write an entire fic just to make this happen tho #if anyone's read one w/ this i'd love the link #chopper #rebels #sw rebels #star wars #rebels au #star wars rebels

I started a literature course at the public library and there was the poshest women I've ever heard in my life there my eyes literally widened in disbelief at the way she was pronouncing some words omg...

#she was so um annoying though LMAOOOOOOO #every time she started talking about 'the first populations' of america i could see the trans girl in the group going like 😐#she was all like 'this story takes place in nature and of course the first population in america are very in touch with nature'#'which suggests to me the author definitely spent time with them' girl he literally is using nature as a source of horror #he explicitly stated that he used the 'hostility of natives' as an inspiration for the horror in his novels? he wasn't learning from them #it just seemed like she was trying to score liberal points or something idek it was so strange #and then this other woman was like 'the narrator just seems like an incel who didn't get his way' girl...#the poor guy teaching us has a PhD in spanish literature and he was trying his best to agree with everyones contributions but lmaoooo #also the people like 'its hard to understand old language' bro this is the teachers second language don't complain about finding it too hard #then half the group didn't even do the reading dkbdkebdkdjdj #anyway. i did really love it though i felt like hearing some other people's thoughts and the historical context was really fun #i love when you feel ambivalent about a text and then after analysing it you start to love it because you notice things you didn't before

sure would be nice. if people could debunk a dumb exaggerated/incorrect fanon without people immediately turning it 180° and happily hauling ass right into another dumb exaggerated/incorrect fanon. while gleefully crowing about how canon and correct this opposite take is.

sure would be nice 🙃
