to me irulan looks like a fucking ghostly ice queen. i’m talking long, wavy, pale-white hair that falls down her back in intricate designs and pure white-blue eyes and frozen lashes and a swirling white silk gown that caresses her skin as she glides along in elegance and ethereal beauty that bewitches everyone she passes by in all the wrong ways.
#paulrulan bonus points:#paul falling for her#but not knowing if it was due to her natural allure#bene gesserit tricks#etc#and ru doesn’t know either tbh#and then they’d have this toxic obsessed dynamic#with blurred lines#and lots and lots of tension and fallout#and obviously it would end in both of them getting stabbed#because it has to#irulan corrino#princess irulan#paul atreides#paul x irulan#dune

Sometimes the only way to cope is to pretend that your abusers will get punished by universe or already have
#trauma recovery#eating drywall#it will be okay#because it has to#mentally stabbing your enemies in the face#crunch crunch

every time i read more of this book it’s just me going “oh no, this is going so bad for them. this is SO bad.” but i also don’t want it to end and i want all of my lovers to be okay :((
#it’s not possible but consider this: i love them#i want the gentlest endings possible for them#and - if nothing else - i DO trust that they will get that at least#bc this book has some of the most EXTREME respect for its characters that i have ever seen#i now completely understand why [redacted] was obsessed with this book#EXACT same energy#so it will not end well - but it WILL end softly - i think#whatever happens - life will go on#because it has to#and everyone will do the best they can#though they are very small and know so little and the world is cruel#(i say this as though i don’t still want to redistribute his property… but i contain multitudes)

when you're only capable of feeling empathy for specific fictional characters and you have to watch those exact characters suffer, shit gets weird real fast

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.
#vulcans#I don't think all Vulcans dress the same and headcanon that there's a buunch of different styles on Vulcan#BUT I DO think that older middle aged men flock together regardless of species#and that it's funny that Vulcan has like The Vulcan Hair[tm] - why'd they do that to themselves HEHEHE you're lucky your dad's telepathic#I really wanna see fashion subcultures for other plaaaanets in star trek#I wanna see Klingon Goth#I wanna see fashion styles specific to that species because of that species' culture#like how we have niche niche fashion trends#the other day I thought about it being Vulcan counterculture to do your makeup as if you've been crying#popular with teens but adults do NOT like it

Yall ever think about how Ford had to relearn how to be a normal human being after 30 years of isolation
#notes:#Stan was trying to haggle with what is effectively a 7eleven employee... Because they didn't have the money for it#and also because Stan and his money anxiety... ☹️Ford probably has had to fight for scant resources and kiII for less...#Both of them need to get mental help and realise that it's okay#and that it's safe now.#You have money... And you no longer need to fight for everything you have#gravity falls#ford pines#grunkle ford#stan pines#grunkle stan#stanford pines#stanley pines

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
#sorry im bored of the same tags on this lmao#sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul#and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd.#i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist!#something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content#idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently#mine

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?
Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".
My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.
#information death of the internet etc#legit this has been SO SO helpful#shout out to mastodon infosec server for this one#before 2022 we did not really have the AI-content-farms because. the tech did not exist to the public.#and you can knock back the date if need be#obviously this does not FIX the problem but#me.txt

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names
#no shade (ha) to 50 shades. ive never actually read it so idk if its good#but imo the idea of creating an au fanfic thats so divorced from the original work is boring! why are you even making a fanfic atp#the only good fanfic is when you can tell the author loves the source material and uses it#the best fanfics ive ever read could never be published as actual books because it wouldnt work without the context of the original story

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"
And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."
Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden
#all clothes provided through hand me downs and grandparents#we asked for non strongly gendered or branded things and that mostly worked for firstborn boy#but baby girl has gotten nothing but the cutest little dresses#that I am absolutely not going to stress if she destroys because it's not like they'll last until next summer anyway#at which point she'll be big enough for her brother's dirt-compatible pants#now if we can get her to stop EATING the dirt that would be GRAND#her pronouns are om/nom#literal definition of a baby

I HATE MORAL OCD. well i shouldnt say hate thats a strong word. and i dont want to sound like i hate people WITH moral ocd because i dont of course. i just hate having it. but i shouldnt think that, i do like having morals, its just stressful to be thinking about them so constantly and scrutinizing every little thing i do or think. but really thats the least i could do so i should at least try, right? just because i suffer from— no, struggle with moral ocd doesn’t mean i should just stop thinking about things all together, thats not what im saying and i should make that clear, but i
#quinn talks#ocd tag#ok to reblog#this has been in my drafts for 34984 years because.#surprise. got scared to post it. morally. COME ONNN#this is a joke but barely an exaggeration.

hypothetical scenario for you all: the real king arthur returns. you meet him and you welcome him into your home. what is the first thing you do with him? keep in mind, this is a man from the 500s (he died in 542), and you are from the 21st century (2024).
#most chaotic answer gets a follow and reblog from me#me personally?#i would force him to watch bbc merlin and get him to read merthur fanfics#i'm so sorry for this... however#i'm just a girl#bbc merlin#merlin#bbc#bbcm#bbc's merlin#merlin bbc#king arthur#arthur pendragon#arthuriana#summoning all the arthuriana fans#regardless of what adaptation you are a fan because of#update 02/08: this has now been closed

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right
#woof#like self diagnosis is one thing#but saying someone is autistic because they talk about a specific hobby a lot is weird (and waters down the actual definition of autism)#and its no different than saying someone has ocd bc they organize their books alpabetically#or saying someone has ADHD because they got distracted by something#and people who aren't even autistic are honestly getting way too comfortable with autism jokes
