#and that's enough for her to feel safe

My pet snake enjoys being pet too, especially after she's eaten she likes me to pet her tummy there.

(The really unusual thing is she will pet herself there with her chin to show me what she wants, and I do it every time she asks so I guess I've been reenforcing/rewarding this behavior. She will stop directing me and relax when I pet her. She also pets ME sometimes too. She'll sit with her body in the crook of my arm and gently and repeatedly move her chin over my arm in the direction my short arm hairs flow, lift up and go back and do it again several times. I'm not sure if she enjoyed being pet and decided to try it for herself and liked it, or just enjoys the feeling of petting her human. She's very sweet, gentle, and cuddly. Does anyone else's snake do this? I've seen nothing like it posted anywhere by anyone else. She's a Western Hognose.)

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

[hhhhunty]

How funny that she never considered that.

i think marinette is worse at resting when she's sick but adrien is worse at sitting things out if he's injured. i have no explanation, these are just the vibes

Friends with benefits but the benefit is giving each other societally unacceptable long hugs and generally being more touchy while literally being friends and not actually a couple

THG WLW week day 3: Hurt/comfort

Annie Cresta x Johanna Mason

After being tortured in the Capital Johanna is left terrified of thunderstorms, it being a combination of the two main things used to hurt her makes it a miserable experience. She’s embarrassed by it. It makes her feel weak and stupid but Annie is very sweet with her and makes her feel safe.

Gotta love that the ATLA fandom collectively shifted from Zuko/Katara to Zuko/Sokka during the 2020 renaissance due to a growing appreciation for Kataang…

…but Maiko still gets paid absolute dust 🫠 what, y’all can finally appreciate Kataang (about mf time), but Mai has to either be abusive, cold, or the stereotypical “mean lesbian”? And the most she’s allowed to contribute now is to give birth to Izumi and then not even be her mom (on the rare occasions that Zuko/Sokka fic writers even let Mai be Izumi’s birth mom)? Very progressive…

Thinking about the episode where Nessie Jr hatches and how Colonel Baird assumes that Ezekiel is goofing off so she gives him a job to do and he keeps trying to get that job out of the way as fast as he can so he can go back to the very important job he was doing.

There's so much to be said about that part of the episode!

The way colonel baird assumes he's goofing off, the way he doesn't even try to defend himself until after he's already finished the thing she was stopping him from doing, the way he only explains why he was on his phone after she's already scolded him multiple times, the way he HACKED a GOVERNMENT SATALITE from his CELL PHONE, the way he genuinely cares about the egg despite it being dumped on him because of the assumption that he isn't working on something worthwhile, the way he's genuinely upset that he almost killed the egg by accident, the way he doesn't realise a bunsen burner will kill the baby but knows how to HACK a SATALITE from his CELL PHONE, the way he doesn't really care that Baird kept him away from his important work because of an assumption, the way he never tries to curb her assumption, the way he's only annoyed and really only mildly scolds her for making him take longer to figure out the other's were in big trouble, the way that this episode deeply effects how Baird sees Ezekiel, there's just so much to be said

i'm a huge huge fan of the dynamics and story that's present in the dreemur's divorce in deltarune. what a core for a story to be built around.

jack's mouth always watered at the sight of a fresh cooked steak. he'd find himself peering into the windows of fancy restaurants every now and then, seeing someone eating a steak and wishing he knew what one tasted like, but knowing he'd probably never have the money to afford one.

when jack and katherine get together, she invites him over for dinner and jack gets to have steak for the very first time. he complains a little at first, saying he's the guy and he should be the one treating her to fancy meals, but he can't bring himself to hold back for very long, and after that first bite of heaven he's too busy scarfing it down to complain very much, katherine laughing at him from across the table

jack goes back to the lodging house that night and all of the other newsies circle around to hear jack describe it, calling him a fancy pants and wishing they could try some too

the next time jack comes back from dinner at katherine's, he's got plenty of leftovers to split with the newsies

Eurylochus’ sword

I know that the Strongest of Same probably has this cool, unique, personalized backstory

but for the life of me, I cannot stop thinking of this:

Eurylochus is courting Ctimene. There are at the market, where she is eyeing the apples and he’s thinking of how he needs a new sword, his old one no longer suits him. Then they hear wolf whistles behind them.

They turn, and they see several young men (likely foreigners, since they don’t recognize Ctimene as a literal princess), eyeing Ctimene in a way that makes her shrink and step closer to Eurylochus.

Protectively pissed off, Eury’s eyes dart to the left, where he sees a cartoonishly big sword being displayed beside a blacksmith’s business. Figuring it will be a good intimidation tactic, he grabs it by the grip and raises it high, silently threatening them. The boys blanch, and back off immediately, because that sword is as tall as one of them.

Once they’re gone, Eury finds he takes a liking to the sword- and Ctimene takes a liking to watching him wield it, of course.

Odysseus does have a laughing fit seeing his friend with it later, and when Ctimene tells him of the circumstances in which it was chosen, he and Polites start doing the Ancient Greek equivalent of putting together a Pintrest board for the wedding.

because guys we've all talked about how Curly had to watch Anya die, but he had to watch Daisuke die too

like yes Curly watched Anya overdose but he also heard Daisuke calling for Anya as he crawled out of the vent. He might not have witnessed his actual death but he saw him all bloodied and distraught at being too late to save her

and I just think about how he felt. How guilty he must have been. You just watched the arguably two most vulnerable people in your crew die and you could have prevented it, but you didn't. You were charged with protecting them they were your responsibility but now they're gone and you get to watch
