#aka the norm

[wheelercurse]

the way that Will and Mike’s queer experience is written differently. Like both of them are struggling with their sexuality but it’s not the same way. One is about forced conformity and the other about alienation.

'...so if you don't hear from me, i just want you to know that it's because i never loved you.'

[virune]

genuinely never understood the preoccupation with bullying people for being harmlessly weird. like if seeing someone wearing eccentric clothing or having an unusual hobby elicits some kind of unfounded aggression in you then i don't know what to tell you. get a grip maybe

me: it kind of annoys me that the new Barbie trailer claims Barbie was the first non-baby doll for children. here are some examples of ancient lady dolls, presented in a Ha Ha Funney tone

everyone in the notes: OH MY GOD JESUS CHRIST IT’S JUST A BARBIE MOVIE CALM DOWN GET A JOB NOBODY’S GOING TO BELIEVE IT ANYWAY!!!!! YOU’RE DUMB AND AWFUL AND NO-ONE CARES

(a bunch of other people in the notes: it’s true though/she was the most popular so she’s the only one that counts/wait there were adult-shaped dolls before Barbie? where?)

sora is suuuch a trans allegory. im not the only one seeing that right

[officialgleamstar]

transcribed normal and scary's conversation in the panic room for . uh . personal reasons (me <- designated bearer of the curse to ship these two) but in case anyone else wants it!! below the cut. because MAN. really good moment for normal and scary's friendship. even if normal didn't do things perfectly, i think this was just a really sweet moment that will benefit them in the long run :') normal & scary besties forever . to me

(cannot promise this is worded perfectly by the way but i think i got it mostly accurate!)

Will: …and then I’m just like “Hey”, and you see like, Normal has crawled through, like, sliming through this hole.

Anthony: Alright.

Scary: Oh, good, you’re here. Normal: How you doing? Scary: (scoffing) I’m fine. Normal: Okay. I’m- I’m sorry about your dad- your step-dad. Scary: He wasn’t my- yeah, its, its fine, I mean, (audibly tearing up) it’s what I wanted… right? Normal: Yeah. I, uhm- (emotionally) Oh, Scary, I’m so sorry. This is a really fucked up crazy situa- I don’t know what to say, I don’t think there’s anything to say, but it, it sucks and I get being angry, I mean, I’m pissed, and uh- Scary: It’s fine! I just need the anchor, okay? Normal: Okay, fine. Do you want me to help get it out? Scary: Yeah. Normal: Okay, let's do it.

@fatherforgivethem has infected me with thoughts of Aegon/Helaena/Aemond and their kids, and I have an idea, and I sorta mentioned it in my last HC post, but I just need it out of my skull for the sake of my well-being

the parents taking the kids to courts/dinners/events.

an agreement that if the kids fuss or ask for them to a certain point, they be brought to either of them, no matter what they're doing, if they're in front of a lord or nobleman or one of the god forsaken Seven. they will always come before the court, who can blame them for wanting some sort of out.

Jaehaera being brought to Aegon during one the few court meetings his mother actually got him to attend, meaning he can't leave, even for his daughter, or his head will end up on a spike. so instead she insists she will be quiet, taking his sniffling baby girl into his arm, assuring the nobles that he's listening and that she won't spill any of their secrets, cooing at her a little, while walking off s bit to the side. he rocks her till she's mostly asleep before returning to his place at the table, not sitting down, but rocking back and forth in front of his seat. he's kissing her forehead and stroking a finger over her little nose and chubby cheeks, smoothing her hair. he's so clearly infatuated with her and it catches everyone's attention. her presence also seems to make him act a bit wiser, like a proper prince, so he's loving on his baby while quipping into the meeting every now and then (he's got to be a good example for his girl)

no one can necessarily get mad, Jaehaera is adorable and they had all hoped and prayed fatherhood would settle the prince, which now they fear it's settled him too much.

Aemond stopping his sword training to lay out a blanket for the twins to sit in the grass and watch, goading Criston into putting on a show for them, imitating whatever story they come up with. letting them take up wood swords eventually and starting to incorporate them into his training.

Helaena having her lunch with Mother and a lady in waiting interrupted by her son being brought to her. he's huffy and tired, most likely woken from his nap by dreams he didn't understand, wanting nothing more than to just cuddle up with his mum. he's sitting against he glumly, clearly wanting his mum all to himself, to go up to her chambers and cuddle while she sings him the lullaby she has since he was born. but between his grandmother and the lady in waiting coaxing him to giggle, his mum trying to cheer him up, be comes to enjoy himself a bit.

The family having to go to some dinner for some noble and having kids on their hips. they don't like letting people take them from them, especially not little Maelor, so they're in guard all night. having to play nice when Lords and Ladies would reach out a finger to play with the babies, acting as if they don't want to snap at them.

Aegon carrying Maelor around the event while Helaena and Aemond keep the twins together.

trying to get them to sit nice at the dinner itself but finding themselves caring more about messing around with them than keeping up appearances

the 3 standing together, babes in their arms during some court meeting in the throne room, looking very accidental renaissance.

having matching outfits. Aemond and Aegon looking especially nice in the lighter colors for once.

they're just too cute and infecting every waking moment I have

(repost cause I accidentally posted it privately at first and tumble sorta ate it.. I don't know what happened, it was weird)

Regularly wish death upon people, because I'm no fucking saint and I'm truly trying my damn hardest to kill them with my mind.

Did you ever call your teachers by their first name? If you work in education, do you let the students call you by your first name?

The nibblings were discussing what students would call me if I was a teacher yesterday and it reminded me. When I used to be a substitute I never bothered to introduce myself or write my name on the board, literally just never thought of it. One class I had a girl raise her hand and ask what my name was so I automatically gave her my first name and after a few seconds added my last. There was dead silence in the 8th grade classroom for a good 30 seconds to a minute before she burst out with "we can call you by your first name!?" I was like yeah sure. You would probably not believe how absolutely excited this made the students, I heard my name more times over that class period than I hear it in a year lol. The next school year I was at the high school and hear my name and turn around and it's the girl from that class and she yells Hi then turns to her friends see I told you I wasn't lying!

*Asks are for fun, no pressure to answer quickly or at all.*

Yes, all of them, because in Sweden we call everyone by their first name. There was only one exception, but that was because we had three teachers named Lars (which only has one natural nickname) and he was the only one with a unique surname. If I was addressed by my surname in any context I'd probably blue screen.

I took a couple of courses in England back in the day and the amount of anxiety I had over not knowing how to address the teachers was insane haha (I ended up just not calling them anything, just raising my hand and going 'excuse me')

one of my friends from college is the best I love her but she's just so richbrained yet believes herself to not be.. like be real u went to a private school that was eight grand a year 😭 i can't deal with the things that come out of her mouth sometimes as much as i cherish her. this other lad in the year ahead was saying to her before that he wouldn't have been able to go to college if he didn't get a scholarship and she was like repeating this to me like WOW. 🤯 really makes you think 🤔 never met anyone like that 🫶 like WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNN
