PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Y’all don’t understand- I saw the spoilers and I’m hanging onto every last hope that LEGO canonizes this despite what was (probably) confirmed in the captions. Cole being queer is actually so important tho. It makes so much sense for his character. Man’s popped up on screen in 2011 and has been covered in rainbows ever since. I could write an essay on the obvious queercoding of his character since season 1, and with Geo, it’s one agonizing step closer to switching from subtext to text. This would be a bigger step for LEGO than having queer background characters or pride stickers, but it would mean so much to its queer audience. And, again, it fits Cole, especially with his current relationship with Geo.

Please LEGO just do it, it’d be so easy, just one kiss or one scene. PLEASE.

Interesting choice of words there, Alice

I need tkam to have an outsiders level fandom YESTERDAY

[sad-emo-dip-dye]

Ok hold on

Hold on here’s how we can still win

[hecksupremechips]

Honestly though I think it’s really a bad sign when I look at Shin Tsukimi and literally feel like he’s a self insert 😩

[pikkish]

why don't more doom fans do anything with the fact that vega is the name of a real star

[bandzboy]

idk if this is what youre implying or not but i do feel like it is entirely possible that theyre going to the met gala to distract from all the zionist stuff with jype...like skz fans will absolutely be excited seeing them there and unfortunately that could overshadow everything shitty at that company...at least for a short period of time. and idk which brand theyre partnering with ( i havent been keeping up with kpop stuff) but they could also be going there to network and talk about it with other celebrities maybe??? so that also helps them gain support

i mean it can also be possible atp i am not excluding any possibility and i mean that stupid song with charlie puth is coming out this week too and it's kinda a good distraction so nobody talks about how there's this collab with a zionists singer and a zionist israhelli producer and just yeah mess mess MESS

[pepprs]

ok actually yeah. i really need to do dishes and go to bed and not stay up late mentalillnessposting a little too viscerally on tumblr the night before i facilitate a workshop in front of the literal president of the university and the vp of my division (LOL about that btw. actively shitting my pants.) but oh my GOD. so saying goodbye to lia was actually fine in the moment. neither of us cried and we talked about all the ways we’ll still be in each others lives and reasons we’ll have to interact in the near future. and she gave me an extremely heartfelt thoughtful gift and we left on a very hopeful note and i felt better and content bc there’s still the rest-of-life and we’ll see each other there. but like an hour before that as i mentioned i was HYSTERICALLY sobbing. in full view of people i know AND people i don’t. and i just sat there and sobbed while everything carried on around me. everything carried on around me!!! and i feel like im about to sob again thinking about it.

Do any cane users on here also skateboard? I'm really missing it and want to try getting back into it, partially just for fun but also because I think it would be easier to get around campus that way, but idk if it's possible to do while holding a cane (because I need the cane to walk).

I know I can still safely skateboard without the cane, because I took classes specifically to learn to skate again after my parents finally admitted that my problems weren't going away, but the issue is that once I'm done/get where I'm going, if I'm not able to take the cane with me I won't be able to do anything, so it seems kinda pointless.

Obv is not super safe to not have both hands free but I don't think that would be a Huge deal? ​I've seen other disabled ppl skate but they haven't been cane users/limited mobility so I'm just wondering if it's an option yknow. Like would I hold the cane? Strap it to my back? Use it to push instead of my foot? Idk- if any of y'all can still do it, how? Or is it something I'll just have to give up entirely /g?

Taking a break from MHS2 (my beloved) to start on Monster Hunter Rise and holy shit the RANGE between those two games. Gamefreak could never. Mhs2 is definitely geared more towards kids (ignoring the whole. Killing monster schtick.) but the graphics, system, and story difference in Rise... I am so desperate for an Xbox so I can play rise on an Xbox instead. I'm getting the hang of it on my switch but I feel like I'd be better off on the Xbox 😂

Also the battle difference 🙃 I am Dying so much. I need to upgrade my gear but I refuse to use anything but my beloved dual blades (speeeeeeeed!) and I am currently unable to upgrade them further

[niallsblckgirlfriend]

How I’m gonna be numb but on the verge of breaking down crying at the same time? Like how the fuck does that work?

Realizing in hindsight that the only reason I was so skeptical about your camp story is that being covered in a combination of crusty, sticky pink residue and rotten fish oil for days on end while sleeping on a wooden floor in the Arizona heat sounded like such unbearable sensory agony that I wanted to convince myself it was fake, because I didn't want to believe that anybody had genuinely been through that. I'd have walked out of that place with a rucksack of pink ooze and either find my way back to civilization or become crispy pink buzzard chow after day 2.

Like, legitimately, I think about my reaction to that post a lot. The imagery was so deeply unpleasant that I was desperately scrambling to convince myself it wasn't true like I'd just found out my spouse was a serial killer. There was no torture, no death, no hunger or disease, just a bunch of sweaty guys being covered in sticky fruit-flavored slime, subjected to unpleasant smells, and sleeping blanketless on the floor. And you can't even smell! You were spared a good third of it! Yet your experience still horrified me worse than any war story, medieval torture device or horror movie for reasons I cannot hope to fathom.

idk, I've had this ask stewing in my head for months, but I keep forgetting to actually write and send it. In my heart of hearts, I knew your story was perfectly plausible. I was just grasping at straws, praying for you to admit that no, nobody has ever showered in off-brand Gatorade and then not slept for 3 days while being expected to attend uni lectures. It's all untrue, a ruse, a trick, and such things could never happen outside of the cruelest depths of hell. Santa Claus is real, teachers live in the school, babies are delivered by storks, and the pink sauce incident never happened.

My mom pulls me into a warm hug after I scrape my knee. The plastic egg I found under the couch opens to reveal a piece of chocolate. A dollar magically appears under the pillow where I'd put my tooth. All is well. I am safe. The universe is kind, and whoever's running it loves me.

It's a sunny August day and I'm holding a popsicle on the swingset. I'm using my plastic dinosaurs to act out an improvised battle between good guys and bad guys as I sit on the carpeted floor. I'm playing Fossil Fighters on my dinged-up Nintendo DS in the plush brown armchair by the window.

I add the carrot nose to my snowman. Candy plops into my Halloween bag. The speaker on the classroom wall announces that school's out for summer, and we all bound out the door with wild glee, free at last.

Panting, wheezing, I drag my battered form back into the cobbled-together wreckage of my innocence, only one arm remaining with which to drag myself, blood and intestines trailing behind me as the storm rages overhead, washing my entrails downstream. I huddle underneath what remains of my once-pristine shelter from the cold and wet, pulling the shards back together as best I can as the wind howls angrily, hatefully. It's no use. It's broken. It's gone. It cannot be repaired. My innocence will never return to me. The rain seeps through the cracks and lands upon my face.

The rain is pink, I realize, and I cry.

First off: I haven’t actually been on the receiving end of this before and I have to say, it's an almost literally gripping experience. I felt this rat for the last three paragraphs.

Incredibly well done. Second: If you just didnt' want to believe, that's fine, I barely have room in me for medium fries - a grudge would just pour out the top, too much tea for my cup. But you don't have to like, gaslight yourself into thinking the story is totally normal and believable (I always stretch my stories out a little) or beat yourself up over it for months. I meant it when I said we're good, you and I. It still makes me happy to see a comment or a like or, rarely, a question like this from you.

If it's just something that pops into your mind every now and again, I dunno, don't sweat it. I'd hate to give you a complex. Did I mention that I loved that writing for this? Incredible experience.

SPENCER REID

SPENCER REID X F!BAU!READER

warnings: SMUT, brat!sub!spencer/softdom!reader, needy!spencer

a/n: requested! first spencer fic :))!! still bad at hc’s </3 - i’ll have better spencer fics out i swear 😭 this is bbaddd!! also three fics in one day?? who am i

SYNOPSIS: headcannons of brat!spencer & softdom!reader !!

tags!: none yet cause idk who wants to be!

— ➳ brat!spencer who.. loves to talk back to you. whether it be about a case you and the team were working on or just in general.

“if the unsub targets blondes then maybe it stems from past rel — ” you start, gesturing with your hands as you glance from each team member.

“actually,” spencer starts, index finger pointing forward to gain attention. this was a usual reoccurrence, but the look in his eyes.. he did it on purpose.

— ➸ softdom!reader who.. is as patient as possible with spencer, even when he’s acting out.

— ➳ brat!spencer who.. gives you attitude on purpose, practically asking for a punishment.

“spencer, can you grab that for me?” you ask, reaching your hand out as you keep your gaze on the file before you. your eyes scan the paper, rereading every detail listed.

“no, ‘m’busy.” he replies, long fingers gliding over his own paper as he reads abnormally fast. your head snaps over to him, analyzing his behavior. spencer’s been acting like a brat the entire day - giving you attitude, ignoring you, whatever he knows will set you off. that was your last straw.

making your way over to him, your fingers grasp his chin to make him look up at you as he stays seated in his chair. brown, doe eyes lock with yours, the angle only feeding the faux innocence radiating from him.

“fix your attitude, spencer. you’re asking to be punished.”

— ➸ softdom!reader who.. treats spencer with tolerance until things move to more private places.

— ➳ brat!spencer who.. nags you when wanting attention.

“spencer, not right now.” you mumble, your pen moving along the paper smoothly as you write. there was a deadline for this report and you needed to get it done by tomorrow morning.. but, of course, spencer just so happens to have absolutely nothing to do (for once).

“no,” he whines, digging his face into your neck as he presses wet kisses to the skin. “want you now.” he mumbles, soft lips brushing against you. it was pathetic how tempting he was, even like this - needy.

your opposite hand reaches up to move into his hair, tugging slightly to bring him back. spencer whimpers as his lips part, a shaky exhale leaving them. his eyes meet yours, pure lust swirling in his dark irises.

“behave.”

— ➸ softdom!reader who.. can read spencer like the back of your hand, especially when he’s needy.

— ➳ brat!spencer who.. claims to be unable to take you overstimulating him, but he doesn’t even think about wanting you to stop.

“i.. i can’t!” spencer whimpers, though does nothing to pull away from your grasp. if anything, his hips buck up into your fist, a guttural moan leaving his lips at the action.

“yes, you can.” you hum, still moving your hand along him. his dick was sensitive, as was his entire body - it was obvious. but the way he reacted to your touch was just so addicting. your free hand moves up to gently make spencer nod his head.

“mm.. i can. f.. yes! i can!” spencer moans.

— ➸ softdom!reader who.. secretly loves when spencer acts out just so you can remind him who’s in charge.

the explicit sounds of skin slapping skin echoes through spencer’s bedroom, alerting anyone that could hear what was happening. your nails dig harshly into his shoulders as he whines, eyes scrunched tight beneath fogged glasses.

“such a fucking brat.” you spit, your hips relentless as you move atop him. “you’re being so good f’me now, spence.” you exhale, a soft moan leaving your lips as he only seems to fit deeper inside you. spencer whines at your words, biting his bottom lip as he pants. babbles leave his lips - for once, unable to form coherent sentences.

“i’m good.. m’good, m’good, m’good.”

— ➳ brat!spencer who.. loves eating you out, despite not wanting to follow your rules.

moaning into you, spencer’s tongue explores your most sensitive parts as he eats you out like a man starved. it was borderline animalistic the way he does it - sloppy and messy, unusual to his normal routine, maybe he was just extra needy tonight.

“y’taste so good.” he mumbles into you, whether the words were to you or himself. a moan escapes your throat as he envelops your clit, sucking on the bud as he looks up at you, a curl to his lips. fuck, he looked sinful.

— ➸ softdom!reader who.. praises spencer for the smallest thing just to get a reaction out of him.

you nod as you listen to your boyfriend, absorbing the information he was spewing about the case you guys were currently working on. mentally noting down important aspects, you give him a sweet smile once spencer finishes his rambling.

“thank you, spence. you did so good.” you tell him, picking up a few files. your lips turn up once you hear him sputter, a cough following from his throat. glancing over at him, you smirk.

“did i say something wrong?”

more phagenda theories ft. analysis of dan's story bc i am painfully unemployed

hi besties it's me again. i'm reaching the point of waiting for the announcement where it's like that tweet about the plate of corn in encanto. i decided to go back and watch dan and phil's first videos to see what frames they used to see if it would reveal anything intersting and well... it kinda does, but also this theory falls apart a bit towards the end so. take this with a grain of salt this is just for fun i'm just yapping it's not meant to be that serious etc etc

so starting with phil's video blog, i believe the frame is from about 0:41 or at least very very close to there (based on the position of phil's paper):

(side note but i don't wanna get too off track: 2 seconds after this is when phil's curtain blows which like obviously is from wind but maybe in another universe it's some kinda sci-fi fantasy spirit ghost thing idk)

this section of the video is when phil is reading off a question from his linguistics exam. we know from "teaching dan to speak" that if youtube hadn't worked out and phil actually used his degree, he was gonna be a forensic linguist. okay so now, what frame is used from hello internet? this one isn't quite as easy to pin down but my best approximation is at 0:37, or at least somewhere soon after that (going off of dan's placement in front of the door):

this is the section of the video immediately after dan gets done saying some "really good friends" he's made recently persuaded him to "give it [making videos] a shot" which like, we all know means phil. when i say immediately i mean he finishes saying that at 0:36

i just personally find this intersting because like. for phil's video why pick a frame of him reading an exam when you could've gone with the thumbnail or him looking at the camera or something? with dan, i at first thought it was the very beginning of hello internet, but it's definitely not based on the way he comes into frame. instead it's right after he says that phil persuaded him to make videos... so this brings me to the ripple effect/alternate universe idea a lot of people have been throwing around. what if they chose phil reading his linguistics exam bc they are going to explore a universe where he becomes a forensic linguist? and of course, if he didn't do that, then dan wouldn't have made his video, because the part where phil persuades him to give it a shot never happened (this is where we get into dinok territory). ok so how does this fit with the other two shots we can see? (i'm not including something we want to tell you bc it would be impossible to know exactly where in the video that shot is from, and ofc i can't include the mystery one 💔)

(warning this is where this starts to fall apart lmao) now obviously the one from gtpwtw is from the yoga section:

how does this fit in with the alternate universe/choices theory? well, this particular moment is right when dan is asking phil "top or bottom," which obviously in the moment is a joke and it's a really inconsequential question. however, it is a question nonetheless, with two possible outcomes 👀

for saying goodbye forever... i quite literally have nothing, the shot they chose has nothing going on it's just them standing there as priest sean walks in at about 0:35 💀💀

anyway yeah, assuming they consciously chose what shots of videos to include, it might give more validity to the multiverse idea, regardless of what medium they present it in! ofc this could also all mean nothing and i am just grasping at straws (10x more likely) i just thought it was intersting :)

[anxious-witch]

God. Now I wonder if it's possible Niko started Lost&Found department? If she somehow went back in time before she became Principal? Kind of like an ode to Charles and Edwin, thinking she might not see them again? And in many centuries past, she forgot about them to a point where she didn't recognize them immediately? Idk, I am grasping at straws here but there are so many theories in my head!!! I want to know!! Netflix why??
