Sister: Why was a helicopter pilot firefighter wearing regular turnout gear and sooty…?

Me: who cares?

gonna be honest here; i feel like complaints about "solavellan girlies" are just misogyny

specifically, it's this idea that all the female lavellans who romance solas are mary sues. oh it's a Problem that they're all so special they can change a god's heart. oh it's a Problem that they're all [insert physical characteristic here]. oh it's a Problem it's a Problem it's a Problem-

it's just shitting all over a power fantasy, one that involves a female character. because it involves a female character

you don't have to like every or any iteration, but the bashing of all solavellan shippers is just thinly veiled unexamined misogyny

you can want things to be different in canon. you can appreciate non-female ships with solas more. but it's this specific tendency to treat solavellan shippers ("solavellan girlies" which like. do you hear yourself? do you really?) as a shitty monolith that is only ever Problematic and has no value and-

Stop It

it's a popular canon ship that has spawned a massive outpouring of creativity bc of the nature of the unfinished story it told. that's it. it's not the only solas ship. it's not the only lavellan ship. far from it, in either case. it's just one that a lot of ppl played and enjoyed and ending up feeling inspired to create art for it

Omg okay so listening to Welcome To The Family by Watsky and omg. Thoughts. Incoherent. Fic idea.

Obviously an ACOTAR x reader just not sure whoooo be like reader would have been orphaned at a young age/ not had family in a looong time

Omg omg

NESTA X READER YESSSS

Okay reader and Nesta meet and have a whirlwind romance, like falling in love within a few weeks, they run off and get married and then present themselves to the inner circle regardless of what they say and just have a nice cute happy lil life

Also yes this is just my thought process in text form lol

Yes yes yes I really like this I've been thinking about a sweet sapphic Nesta story all night (thank you @ravenclawvioletevergraden 🫶) and now I rlly wanna write this in the new year yesssss Nesta deserves LOVE. AND ROMANCE. AND A PARTNER WHO ACTUALLY GIVES A DAMN (I'm glaring at YOU acosf Cassian)

But yeah like cute lil dates going to the bookstore omg it could be like Rory and Dean in Gilmore Girls aweee

And picnics where they bring books and sit by the sidra

And cooking together even when they're both kinda uncertain about how to cook, maybe lil cooking classesssss aweee

Reader helping Nesta through some of her trauma, getting her in to see a THERAPIST DAMMIT, actually listens to herrrr

Reader learns to dance for Nesta, and surprises her on one of their dates or maybe right after their private wedding

Nesta takes to embroidering the cuffs of readers shirts with little flowers, or their initials, just little things to remind her of Nesta

Reader stands up for Nesta during the family dinners that they do end up going to, and doesn't let her take shit over how she reacted to her trauma- and lets the IC know how incompetent they were in helping Nesta. (Pre acosf stuff cause fuck that I'm not reading the book anytime soon lol)

And yeah just like. Lots of cute fluffy fluffy cuteness. And Nesta sweetness. Cause she deserves it

Isaac's "When?" is so great here. I'm not a fan of Godbrand, I'm fine with what happens to him, totally deserved it. But this moment from Isaac has made me stop and laugh and rewind repeatedly. Just completely deadpan, maybe a lil annoyance. It's the only proper response to Godbrand in this moment, cause his entire existence makes me 1000000% sure he smells like you would not believe.

And like... Vikings actually had decent hygiene, didn't they? Or am I getting them confused with Celt again? Regardless, everyone says Trevor smells, but I look at Godbrand and I can almost see stink on him. Idk, maybe it's the Autism, maybe it's just me projecting cause he is the 4th worst. After Carmilla, the ginger who's name i forgot but she basically assaulted Hector, and the priest from season 1 who started this whole thing.

Hey @galaxystew, and the other librarians in my orbit, what are your feelings on separated kid and teen library spaces with 'no adults allowed' rules?

(In contrast to a more open sections/a gradated space, where seating either isn't tied to specific sections, or is otherwise open to anyone.)

I kinda hate them, but I want to know if I'm missing something major.

Issues I have:

The increased segmentation makes it harder for people with 'abnormal' reading habits to comfortably get books without judgement. (People with limited reading skill in English, adults that like child-friendly content, kids that want to read 'above' their age level, etc.)

They contribute to the destructive idea that adults interacting/existing near children or teens is dangerous.

They contribute to the idea that adult sections are dangerous for teens, limiting what some teens feel comfortable exploring.

Anxious, autistic, OCD, etc. adults may need to convince themselves that they're allowed to enter and pick out books for their own kids.

They make it difficult for people with low mobility to use some spaces.

The ones I've seen have often been precursors to more draconian policies aimed at keeping homeless people out of the library (though that may just be because I'm in a racist, classist city that's looking for every excuse).

I admit to being biased. I find they increase my anxiety about accessing spaces. I'm really angry with the library in my area that most prominently has these types of spaces, so I'm more likely to find fault.

(And I, personally, think that a YA section [given the content I usually see there] would have done more to scare me away from adult lit than the occasional 'middle age man having an affair with a teenager, featuring surprise sex scenes' books that I had to navigate as I moved away from the kids section. But I recognize that the majority of older kids/younger teens aren't aroaces that find mild romance to be one of the most squicky things around. So this isn't about whether there SHOULD be teen and kid sections, but whether they should be for teens only.)

This tag is all about looking at your past. All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published), and post it beside the recent one! And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts! #sweet beginnings tag

i was tagged by @ezra-trait thank you so much bestie <3!

so i don’t have the very first sims/screenshots that i made in this game because i’ve been playing it since i was a kid (i literally have the disk of this game which tells you how long i’ve been playing this game) and so i’ve changed computers, so i’ll just go with the first screenshot i posted to tumblr on my old account!

2022 vs 2023

yeah i guess you could say my sim style has changed a bit since i first started my tumblr 😭. the picture on the left was a sim i made of strawberry shortcake and tbf i don’t hate her, but i defo prefer my newer sims a lot more. this was also when i was literally *just* getting into custom content, like for years i played the game completely vanilla.

i’m tagging, @druidberries @goblinivy @folkbreeze @thefunniestjester @lonvely @alientown @boobpancakes @faestelle and you if you’re reading this 🫵 (no pressure sorry if you guys have done this already)

[sword-and-lance]

y'know mulling over that "tar pit" post, like

I dooooon't think people in general understand just how easy it is to not be "defending yourself" but really just be defending your own anxieties and personal paranoias and etc

speaking as someone who did that for ages lmao
