#a low bar but...

the idea that katherine would make a good mikaelson is kind of laughable because she is so genuinely fundamentally against. like 90% of what the mikaelsons stand for.

they’re all backstabbers so she has that going for her but at the end of the day they will pull through for each other while katherine has never been loyal to anyone for more than like 45 minutes on a good day

this one is especially for if she’s a mikaelson via elijah but she will not risk her life for klaus or rebekah for a damn second nor would she stand around and let elijah do it and the idea that elijah’s going to Let Her stop him from helping his siblings if they need it is laughable

she’s a habitual liar??? paired with elijah, who is also a fucking liar, there’s just nothing there to build on lmfao their relationship would have crashed and burned if they had actually gotten together if we’re being fr about it. elijah at his core is about family (and also fucked up) and katherine is about herself (and also fucked up)

and i’m not saying any of this is a fault on katherine’s part that’s just how she is and i don’t see how anyone can convince themselves that her being with elijah, and therefore regularly in klaus’ life, would make her any less flighty or sneaky at all. do you REALLY think her being with someone she knows would pick klaus over her would have katherine relaxed or “more herself” (whatever idea of kat y’all tend to have) enough to the point where she and elijah could actually. be happy??? 

the funniest part about it all is that if katherine were to “become a mikaelson” she would be better off with literally any other sibling besides elijah

(If anyone missed it, two of the largest papers in the US were planning to endorse Harris, but the owners stepped in to prevent it. Editors have resigned in protest. )

love how jedi in the acolyte all think about attachment differently…when jecki says that sol shouldn’t keep holos of his former padawans and sol counters that memories help you grow. they feel like a real religion with their differing interpretations! and that’s what it’s all about, truly.

55% believe the economy is shrinking, and 56% think the US is experiencing a recession, though the broadest measure of the economy, gross domestic product (GDP), has been growing. 49% believe the S&P 500 stock market index is down for the year, though the index went up about 24% in 2023 and is up more than 12% this year. 49% believe that unemployment is at a 50-year high, though the unemployment rate has been under 4%, a near 50-year low.

Quick sketches of my most favourite bg3 relationships

i do think that writers should be aware of the dark topics they're writing about; to me this means that e.g. if you're writing about an abusive relationship, you should know that it is abusive. i don't mean that you need to have a big and important point to make about abuse (especially not a necessarily moralistic one where e.g. the abuser "gets what's coming to them") in order to write it. just like that you should know what you're writing about. otherwise you get batman comics.

Y'know I used to think that Marvel would never come up with anything more romantic than "I love you in every universe" but then they just had to put out a movie with the premise "I don't give a fuck about every version of you. I don't even care if you're the worst one out of all of them. I want you, specifically, individually, as you are, forever." and I am falling apart again.

Hades is actually King shit. I don’t care what anyone else says. The fact that he immediately offered sanctuary to Percy, Sally and Grover? Yes, he had ulterior motives but they weren’t at the cost of anyone and he made them clear AND he really doesn’t give a shit about his family drama. He really is just an introvert who doesn’t want to be disturbed. He just wants to be bisexual and spend time with his wife. Love it for him.

Side note: the fact that readers know that he put his kids in the casino to protect them just makes it that much better!

“How could Ferrari continue to justify it? By this point, the Vatican viewed auto racing as downright immoral. The Holy See's own daily news-paper, the Osservatore Romano, compared Enzo to a Roman god with a taste for flesh. "An industrial Saturn," it called him, "who continues to devour his own sons."”

need u to know that this is an actual quote talking about how ferraris f1 team kept killing their drivers in the early stages of f1

This message I sent to my friend at 2am seems relevant

“Lady Pent. Tell me about your childhood bedroom.” “It was the size of this sitting room, perhaps,” said Pent promptly. “Two beds with their heads against the far wall from the door. I liked to have my younger brother sleep in my room sometimes, when I was small. Primrose walls in paste-on flimsy, not wash—a pretty chroma of the Prince Undying, but a little cockeyed—a Vit-D panel in place of a window, with a repeated design on it. My grandfather’s arm bones over the door. A little reinforced table where I played at dolls or read, with a cubby beneath it where I was meant to crouch in case a zonal jet made it past the winnow. Phosphorescent stars painted on the ceiling, a peg on the wall for my gloves and robe. I haven’t thought of it in years. Why?” “Initial test,” said Harrowhark. “The flexibility of metaphysical solipsism aside, I have hardly any knowledge of the Fifth House and how its people live there. The more nonsensical your answer, the more likely you were to be a construction of my brain.”

There's just something terribly sad about the fact that what Harrow was so convinced would be utterly alien to her was...a sunshine coloured bedroom with glow in the dark stars on the ceiling where a little girl played dolls. An idea of childhood that Harrow, told she was a warcrime and raised as a penitent from almost infancy, never experienced.

I love watching Phantom where the Raoul is giving it his all and is trying his best to be a good boyfriend and yet Christine is still visually conflicted on choosing him or the literal murderer that lives underground.

out of all the batfam, bruce's relationship with stephanie is genuinely the most interesting to me, because literally what is going on there? what are they doing? how do they feel about each other, like actually.
