youtube shorts is just tiktok without being on the app the amount of "i'm a [qualification] and [misinformation]" could make one turn their skin inside-out in protest. "i'm a board-certified OB-GYN & it's only been about the last hundred years that women have actually experienced menopause. We didn't live long enough to experience it" how can you be so incredibly wrong about something so integral to your practice. King of the Hittites Hattusilis III was told in 1250 BCE that his sister was too old to reproduce at age 50+. Aristotle wrote in the 4th century BCE that women stopped menstruating between ages 40 to 50, common menopause ages today still. i cannot begin to tell you how 4th century & 1250 BCE don't really count as "the last hundred years" unless that -s is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waiter waiter more misinformation laws.

Ghost as a club bouncer. My brain is doing a hard reboot.

Him in one of those tight-fitted black tees. Big shoulders completely blocking the entrance?

Him standing with his arms crossed over his big barrel chest glowering down at people trying to get in with fake IDs or without paying the cover?

That stupid trope of him questioning your ID? What’s your address? What’s your birthday? What’s your sign? You trying to buy me a drink? And then he grudgingly waves you inside?!!

The idea of him being the one person in the club you shouldn’t be talking to, and especially not sassing that draws you to him all night???

Him standing in front of VIP and you trying to get through but there’s a big crowd but he’s so big and tall that he can see you so he just reaches out and drags you forward by the wrist with those big huge giant tattooed arms of his?!!!!!!!!!

Trying to flirt with him all night and him being stone cold until you finally decide to give it up because there’s some drunk guy looking to actually pay you some mind and when you go to the bathroom and come back out you see Ghost throwing the guy out??

AND THEN YOU GET ALL HUFFY AND TRY AND ARGUE WITH HIM AND HE JUST ROLLS HIS EYES AND TAKES YOU BY THE ARM AGAIN??!!!!!!

LEADS YOU THROUGH THE EMPLOYEE EXIT TO HIS CAR SAYING HE’LL TAKE YOU HOME. AND THEN ON THE DRIVE HOME WHEN YOU’RE BICKERING HE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT

“Don’t know how to behave. Been humpin’ my leg all night. Have to sort out that needy cunt of yours see if you can’t stay out of trouble then.”

Happy Birthday, Arataki Itto!

Check out this awesome drawing my boys made for me. What do you think, compadre? Doesn't it look just as handsome, stylish, smart, and—

Ah well, who am I kidding, there is no drawing in the world that can even come close to the magnificence of yours truly! Hahahahaha!

Why? You don't think it's appropriate to put up my drawing over here? Puh-lease, it makes perfect sense, amigo! You see, I'M the man of the occasion! If it ain't grand, it ain't on brand!

You know what, why don't I put my autograph on it? Signed poster of the Arataki Gang's one and only maestro for the one and oni's bestest compadre!

Thanks to カネンゴミ for the fantastic artwork!

Theres nothing funnier to me than fics where liyue characters go "you're never going to believe this mister zhongli but. I think rex lapis may still be alive" and zhongli just kind of stands there like. Whattttt. Noooo that's crazy. Are you. Are you sure

i just realized that people that don’t know about the bit will just see me with a keefe pfp and wonder what’s up

I saw a TikTok that said they would be friends if they were in the same universe, and I wholeheartedly agree. They both have colder personalities in the books and have experienced many similar hardships. Both have faced the death of a younger sibling figure, betrayal by a best friend, and the loss of a lover—Peeta in a metaphorical sense, and Teresa/Newt (take your pick) in a literal sense. They’ve both gone through trauma-inducing trials, believed they were safe, and then been thrown into similar situations again.

Despite their similarities, they also have stark differences, mainly in terms of trust. While Katniss is almost constantly wary of the people around her, always believing that any act not based on fair trade or debt repayment has some hidden motive, Thomas can be too trusting. He was sent into the Maze because he revealed his escape plan to Teresa, someone loyal to WCKD. This led to Ava Paige discovering the plan, drugging the drink she offered Thomas (who had no qualms about accepting it), and sending him into the Maze. Even when Thomas knows people have betrayed him, like Teresa, he tends to forgive them.

So, I think this friendship could help them learn from each other and provide them with someone who understands what it’s like to endure such horrors.

"I am a 'board' certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology." I guess it makes sense, but I always forget that apparently he specialized in nephrology. The House lore has me in a chokehold.

Thinking about that one minigame from Green Lake where you nyoom around the place with Tooth Fairy. Thinking about it happening in a literal way is cracking me up.

Local dentist is sliding around on the ground, phasing through the fences and sucker-punching carbuncles and critters while looking for teeth. Dentist is also reminiscing how she got those teeth to a gaggle of college-age people and two teenagers (one of the teeth is from accidentally hitting someone with her car, another is from intentionally punching someone so hard they lose that tooth).

inspired by @sionisjaune's tags and THIS nico in glasses art by the incredibly talented @movieboyfriend

Becoming a sports psychologist had been easier than Nico expected. 

All he needed was a bachelor's, which he already had, and a Masters' degree which took 18 months and submitting a paper on eating disorders to achieve. Board certification was annoying, Nico just doesn't have that kind of time, but the workaround was simply calling himself a 'performance enchancing counselor.' A corner office in Monaco, a shiny plaque with his name on it, and a star studded roster of athletes and C-list celebrities he'd hosted parties for during his influencer days for potential clientele, he was all set.

F1 hadn't been the goal but at the same time... who better than Nico, who knew exactly how motorsport could chew you out? His karting dreams were long over, but the smell of gasoline and burnt tyres and the roar of the crowd is still his forte. It just so happened Formula One decided mental health awareness was totally in style now, and one of their main sponsors held an event on mindfulness and how it can be achieved drinking more Heineken. Having a father for a World Champion is helpful, when it means one has lifetime passes, and this had been a prime networking goldmine; not for the drivers themselves and their fragile egos at the implication of psychological help -- but sliding his practice's embossed gold card in the suit jacket of one Toto Wolff.

Lewis saw therapy as something good and necessary, but ultimately for other people. And then Abu Dhabi happened. And then the W-13. And Toto had mentioned what Keke Rosberg's son was up to, how it could possibly help him out of his slump, and hearing that name after so long made Lewis' usual 'thanks but not for me' die at the tip of his tongue.

"I'm not going to imply whether all your issues stem from trying to make your father proud or ask you about your childhood. I would remember. I was there." Nico had smiled over his thin-rimmed circular glasses, with that knowing sparkle during their first unofficial session and Lewis was sold.

"As long as you don't expect me to call you 'doctor,' man. Jeez, who would've thought? Dr. Nico Rosberg."

After that, every week unless he's in LA, Lewis finds himself in Nico's chic Monaco office. It's not stuffy like a therapist's office; a turquoise wall and Nico's dad's helmet is on a shelf display, a German national Team jersey hanging on the wall, there's even a YouTube million subscribers golden plate. Lewis is sprawled on the bean bag, the sunlight from the floor to ceiling windows hitting in beams, and not for the first time Lewis has to reconcile the kid he knew has grown up into the adult in distinguished glasses and same golden blonde hair in front of him. Nico dresses like he's about to give a TedTalk, in his monochrome tee and blazer combo, and that somehow puts Lewis more at ease.

"The car's been so fucking shit. I'm not here to fight for, what, p10? That's not me. And the team..." Lewis rants, and it's so freeing to be able to call the car shit without adding in how they're improving bit by bit and other optimistic platitudes that don't mean shit in terms of the championship.

"And the team's been prioritizing Russell over you, I can see how that can be a source of frustration." Nico finishes.

"What? No. He's not -- the team's not. I'm saying, it's annoying enough the car isn't where we were promised it was gonna be, and now every week I'm getting asked if I want to retire, like what's this all for?" Lewis is momentarily taken aback by Nico's claim. Is that what people think? The team... well, George has adapted to the car easier and has been finishing above him but he hadn't felt any particular favouritism from the team... Although he's been the one running experimental setups and helping the team collect data while his teammate gets dubbed Mr. Saturday. The seed of doubt towards the team makes him frown.

"You don't want to retire. Not until the 8th." Nico points out decisively, getting up from his armchair to walk behind Lewis where his plants are.

"I don't. Even if no one believes me, apparently." Lewis rolls his eyes, hearing as Nico spritzes his plants. He could've sworn they were fake.

Lewis feels a hand on his shoulder, surprising him. "You're just going to have to prove them wrong. Like you always do." Nico smiles down at him with absolute conviction, squeezing it once, and then the weight is gone; Nico moving back to his chair.

The gesture was friendly, but it makes something flare inside Lewis. Something about Nico, maybe the fact he can open up to him the way he can't even with the team; maybe because Nico knew him before seven titles, before he was anyone, makes Lewis instinctively trust him in a way he rarely does with new people. But Nico isn't new, even if the glasses are. Lewis finds himself wanting to know more, wanting to fill the gap between the years.

"Now, let's go over your daily mindfulness affirmations..."

Clem once again found herself in the Shrub Club greenhouse, but not because the door was left open by anyone. Absolutely not.

With her tail proudly swaying in the air, she trotted up the row of vegetable plots; a little crop inspection, if you will. She took her duties very seriously, after all. But then — Clementine’s head snapped, then tilted in bamboozled curiosity at a squirming plant that suddenly began dancing at her.

A low, warning bark left Clem’s throat. How dare this wriggling green offender taunt her! Naturally, she attacked in the best way she knew how:

Upon walking into the greenhouse, Theo thinks she hears a very familiar bark....(which means their secret signal had worked).

She calls out hopefully, "Clem? Is that you girl?!" As she does, she sees that Clem is indeed busy.

Theo watches in anticipation as Clem is in a stand off with their new Can-Can Cactus. They hadn't quite figured out a use for yet, besides maybe also teaching it the cha-cha, but a dog toy seemed a pretty good use as any!

She stifles a laugh as Clem bravely uses her snoot to defeat the evil shrubbery!!! Theo runs over, getting on her knees to tackle the good gorl. She gives her many generous head pats to congratulate her on her victory! And, naturally, Theo can't help but also sneak in a little cheek squish between words of admiration, "Well done, Clem!!! Who's a brave, strong girl?!?! Such a good guard dog conquering that nasty plant!!!"

She made a note to find something even tastier than Meech's cabbages to reward her with. And maybe also hide the dancing plants from now on....

Truly there is a very real possibility that furina is my new favorite genshin character like. Jesus fucking christ. The life and times of Furina de Fontaine is maybe genshins number one tragedy. Five hundred years man. Five hundred years of being absolutely petrified every second of your waking life because if you are ever found out then your entire country dies. Five hundred years of ensuring you have no identity besides the one you created for yourself. Because if there is even the faintest sliver of a real person in you, you kill everyone you know and hundreds more you don’t. Five hundred years of pretending to have everything under control even though its slipping out of your fingers. And you are just a regular human woman. If i ever see anyone call furina selfish again im going to explode. She gave up everything she was and lived inside a shell for five hundred years and she never ever lost hope. Just because she wouldnt let herself. Jesus christ
