#True or not

10/10 funniest Spock moment is when he accidentally tells everyone he went blind bc he forgot he has an extra set of eyelids.

he ACTUALLY thought that HE, himself, was permanently blinded before going, 20 minutes later, “OH FUCK! I can see again”

normally that’s something Spock would do just to fuck with everyone but this time he also had his ass handed to him because he couldn’t remember HIS OWN NUMBER OF EYELIDS

best Vulcan ever. I know Starfleet is still telling stories about him to this day

True or not

Reading fish-out-of-water style fantasy books/aus, especially fae among humans is like. Honey. Just say you're autistic. Literally everyone would believe you.

Sensory overload? Autism

0 understanding of social cues? Autism

Electric buzzing only you can hear? Autism

Needed to rest in a familiar place to recharge? That's just normal actually

A seething hatred for certain textures? Autism

Weird dressing choices for comfort? Autism (we all know the sock debate)

this is a 2am thought so feel free to ignore it but

if my memory serves me right (which lbr it very well might not) no regular grimm has been shown to regrow their lost limbs

cinder's grimm arm however does do so

sort of like salem can reform herself

presumably, in v6 salem could also cinder was alive thanks to the arm, and cinder's grimm arm reacts to salem's return in v8

cinder—who salem chose to be her vessel for the maidens and in general does her best to ensure cinder succeeds, but "there's only so much i can do to aid you."—gets a grimm arm while tyrian—who no doubt would agree to one due to his worship—gets a regular prosthetic made by watts

what i'm getting at is that perhaps, with the plausible connection between the two via the grimm arm, salem, somehow, grafted the arm for cinder from herself, hence its ability to reform on its own

( plus this could work as a sort of parallel to ozma giving his magic away too, salem's just more metal about it )

( also if the companion book is to be trusted (which at this point is 50/50) the grimm arm is made / feeds from human fear, so it having a human origin would make sense )

Taylor Swift's The Great War is a great song for obikin in general but especially your couples counseling AU I think <3

Ahhh no I think this is a great sign for them, especially the couples counseling au where they’re so close to falling apart at the end of the war in a canon ROTS ending only for them to stay together and work to heal each other despite everything….

But especially these lyrics feel very Anakin:

You drew up some good faith treaties. I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone You said I have to trust more freely But diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire And maybe it's the past that's talkin' Screamin' from the crypt Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did So I justified it

At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."

I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.

Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl

I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "beyond the human range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other things. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp morality", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that humans can never comprehend

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

It didn’t hit me until recently that people genuinely think Kamala Harris was a police officer because of all the people who call her a cop online.

Like I think maybe it’s important people should know she was a prosecutor. She was once a district attorney and later an attorney general for the state of California. And we can discuss how related that is to police work and how tied she is to the carceral system etc etc (but for fairness would have to include her record of pushing for lowering incarceration rates through programs helping former prisoners + her office refusing to jail folks for low level weed offense). But she was never a police officer. Like people should get that clear. Kamala Harris was never a police officer. She was a district attorney. She was never a police officer.

Me, after forgetting to cut the top off an onion before dicing it: “Aw dammit”

The Gordon Ramsey that lives in my head: “Don’t worry there, this mistake isn’t going to ruin anything. No need to be too hard on yourself”

Me: “Wow, that’s…not what I was expecting”

Gordon: “Of course, you ought to know by now that I don’t shout at cooks just to do so. I do it because the people in hit television show Kitchen Nightmares are putting their services out into the public and claim to be good enough to have the title of head chef. You’re just some guy in your twenties making beef stroganoff for yourself and your roommate. I’m kind of a dick, yeah, but I’m not gonna scream at you for a minor mistake like this”

Me: “Oh….well…thanks”

Gordon: “You’re welcome…cunt…”
