#GRANTED! it was written by a man

doing research for my master's thesis (applications due soon! im crying!) + i came across this translated 16th century French sapphic poem and i'm genuinely near tears, omg. sapphic yearning never fuckign changes,,,

Alas! How I’ve spilled my guts in vain! How I fled every other Love the same! How in vain you (scornful one) I chose, As my one delight, as my life’s rose! How in vain did I think the time ahead Would by miracle through the centuries us wed And that, unique example in French history, Our Love would serve as eternal memory Proof that Love of woman by woman may arise And from all manly Lovers seize the prize.

Elegy for a Lady enamoured of another Lady, Pontus de Tyard (1573). (Link to the full text)

as an american, sam reid’s total inability to hide his contempt for overly fake-chipper american journalists, especially ones who Have Not Done The Assigned Reading know and care about the show, will never not be hilarious and iconic to me

mm sometimes i think my yanderes would take advantage of the fact that I cant do some of the things most people can do with ease like tying their shoes or telling the difference between left and right, or the way i absorb info just to force me into being a baby. Mommy kakyoin would coax me into his lap after heavily drugging me, so I just happily melt into his embrace as he asks me what sound a puppy makes only to be met with a soft whimper of me trying to speak.. or diavolo making me do kindergarten level math in the playpen he keeps in his office for me. -📱

I've been having some trouble with doing tasks most people can do, so it is fun to think about different yanderes making you do baby-level math worksheets, or French vocab sheets and crosswords meant for little kids. Or having those grid papers to write Cantonese and Mandarin, or in your case with mommy Kakyoin, katakana. Why bother teaching you kanji or hiragana? You'll only be confused. And hiragana is more commonly used-- he doesn't need you knowing what common signs and objects actually say. Then you won't feel as lost, should you manage to slip away from his hands for a moment.

Diavolo knows worksheets aren't any fun-- he'd give everything to not have to do them, and still know the people he cares about would be okay. So instead of a little duotang with worksheets for your math, linguistics, or animal noises, Diavolo tries to set up little activities for you to do every day. Little trays with a number of the day, clay in one dish so you can draw the number yourself, roll it on a die, and count it out of marbles. Calling an animal handler to show you the different birds and bugs of the devildom in the throne room (and saving trips to the royal zoo for weeks you've been extra good!).

Sorry I'm gonna thrup. I feel violently ill. Something sinister is overtaking me. LIKE oh boy I've been away for too long I gotta ref some source material to perfectly capture the Cunty Alfonse. Where he's just a Cunt. Extremely cherished trait of his, by me. So I'm sifting through my Alfonse folder looking for screenshots and in my head, I'm thinking yeah it's gotta be the Alear FBs. But I'm just gonna make sure. Okay. I make sure. And

GOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

You've known her for LIKE TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?? WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEMMMMM WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS YOU'RE MAKING ME SO ILL. SICK. IN THE HEAD‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

You have NO idea what this dialogue does to me man I am just. Every time I fucking read it, it guts me and strikes me in the heart and it's like. Okay. You're INSANE. INSANE fucking thing to say to someone you've only known for a few days. MAYBE A WEEK. AT MOST. When I think about it, this happened fresh off the coat-tails of Book 6 I think, probably after losing Bruno. So like. That's the logical explanation, especially common to regress back to old habits/ways of thinking/ESP ways of protecting yourself when you just went through something Like That.

BUT LIKE. Context is important yes, informs the feelings/decisions here, but I wanna. Talk about how this line just Fucks with me SO badly. It invokes SUCH. SUUUUUCH a VISCERAL response in me and I just. "I could lose my will to fight" YOU'RE INSANE!!!!!!!!!! IT'S FINE!!!!!!!!!! IT'S LITERALLY FIIIINEEEEE you've known her for LIKE A WEEK it's literally fiiiiine and like, even if it was longer even if she was a really good friend and you were super close It's FINE. People come abd go all the fucking time man IT'S LITERALLY FIIIIINNNNEEEEEEEEEEE

Alfonse fucking SUCKS actually because sometimes he drops a line like this and I feel physically unwell about it. He just fucking Says Things you would have to waterboard out of me and you probably reasonably very quickly Could but you WOULD. AT LEAST. HAVE TO WATERBOARD ME FIRST. COME ON MAN get it TOGETHER ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

There's like. No greater point to this post no analysis no character study Nothing. I jusy need to kill him. Badly

finally adding wbk to my masterlist made me realise that I wrote 30k words for suo in 2 weeks flat 😭 this is genuinely deranged

[juney-blues]

every so often i'll see someone make a comment on that one scott pilgrim post i did like "this is an interesting way to read the text but this comic came out from 2004 to 2010, so we shouldn't look at it through a 2020s lens" and like

yeah it's mostly a joke on my part i do not seriously think brian lee o' malley was intentionally writing a trans story

but also do you seriously think trans people only started existing in the year 2020

[gristlegrinder]

cannot sleep at all which is unfortunate given i have to be up at like 7AM. anyways i think my goal this week is i’m gonna finally set up my OC masterlist for all of my COFD characters. i would start working on it right now because my brain is so activated but i need to BE SLEEPING. MAL.

parroting off of that post but it’s truly a fascinating phenomenon that wally is so thoroughly developed a character in his own runs and arguably miles more mature and possessive of the accountability to deal with certain emotional situations that the other members of the fab five continue to flail at and yet every time he’s in a titans book the greatest extent to his characterization is dumbass dickhead who doesn’t know how to do his job without someone (dick) telling him how to do it

do you really have to put those tight handcuffs on? 🎀

[felixravinstills]

Scrolling through the Felix Ravinstill tag on ao3 is kind of terrifying, because it's like scrolling back through my entire year...

that’s nearly 170K of published fanfic that wouldn’t have been published if nothingman blorboson had not decided to dig his hands into my brain… and it was all written this year…that’s give or take half the word count of my entire fanfic writing career…

Katy Manning, in her second screen role (see her first here), as Julia Dungarvon - full-time typist, part-time coffee shop waitress, and member of more than one love triangle - in Man at the Top: The Prime of Life (1.4, Thames, 1971)

one of my favorite ever depictions of sans has been in a papyrus x reader fic. not exactly sure what this says, but it does say something.....

((for legal reasons i would like to clarify that im not a simp))

man idk what it is about x reader fics but its like there’s a complete 50/50 shot of either reading the most canon thing you’ve ever read in your life or getting blatantly sexually harassed by your favorite character in the first three lines

grant ward i hate you but i love you

[spacebugarts]

There are so many things wrong with this ridiculous blazed post I just saw but the bbc sherlock tag gave me whiplash

[bardicious]

Ah, one of those jarring fic things, character living in 2007, turns her iPad on. 🙂🙃🫠😭

Homies, fellas, youngsters, the first iPad came out in 2010. 😭😭😭
