I personally think English villains would be a lot funnier if they stopped giving them all London accents. What if they were from Liverpool instead. What then.

think i've posted about this before but i've been doing this thing where i go through a convoluted process of random number generations to decide which Golden Age cartoons i watch for the day. have entire chronologies listed and the end goal is to see them all. yadda yadda. it's been very fun for the year and a half i've been doing it, but it also means that i have to log films such as "Little Black Sambo" into my Letterboxd and have no way of broadcasting "I DID NOT RANDOMLY JUST DECIDE TO KICK UP MY FEET AND PUT THIS ON, THE RNG GODS WRING MY FATE THROUGH THEIR WRETCHED FINGERS". so. just in case anyone is following my Letterboxd and is like "dude wtf". i know.

If you reread the Dance portion of Fire and Blood after spending near any amount of time reading about how Empress Matilda was written about — not about Matilda herself, not the history, but specifically the historiography about how chroniclers and historians constructed narratives around Matilda — the story, Rhaenyra's story, becomes a lot less "ambiguous."

GRRM doesn't just know history, he knows historiography. He knew what he was doing. And it's a shame, and a little troubling, that so many people — including the writers of HotD — don't see it.

tbh i was never gonna be a lawlight author (no thoughts about the first half) but if there was a little more meat to mattmello i could've been a banger mattmello author. humbly. friends to lovers is my mf bread & butter, and matt is so easy and fun to write! but meronia grabbed me so violently by the brain that it's impossibly difficult for me to become invested in story ideas for any other ships, and it's even harder for me to see any non-near mello ship as anything but ill-fated pre-meronia trysts u_u sorry besties. in another life, ig </3

im a pinterest user (booo) but i still believe in sourcing whatever it is you repost like. its not hard. bare minimum. and "yooo this is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥" is not a source. that is a comment

ok so yesterday i did my first run of the year! with a friend. it was great, i feel very pleasantly sore today. we did an easy 2 miles. but then i got back to where we parked and my car got smashed into and my wallet and phone charger were stolen. i actually feel like…not super upset about the whole thing, having to pay for new IDs and getting the window fixed will suck but the friend i ran with was soooo real the whole time & franklin bought me dinner. i didn’t actually have to interact with any cops, i locked my cards before the person who stole em could buy 900$ worth of gift cards, haha

idk. i genuinely find theft kinda fascinating, i think their whole M.O. was pretty smart & had they been faster i think they should have tried to buy something less conspicuous lol

The fact that after eight years I decide to relearn to drive, a skill I technically don't need as of now but will grant me the illusion of freedom (I can't wait until I'll be able to go to the beach by myself <3), and the fact that my mother has been complaining for three days that I cut my hair shoulder-length because "you should make yourself prettier, not uglier like this, I bet you only cut it because you're lazy and don't want to waste time drying it but you should let it grow ass-length because you'd be so pretty", are probably connected.

so good for me specifically how a lot of enstars ships are intrinsically yuri. gives me peace of mind

I've been thinking about this for a while now, but do you think if you poured water on Kuukou, would his hair go flat? Or does his hair defy all laws of physics and stays the same while Jyushi and Hitoya stand there like wet cats?

it defies the laws of gravity lmao like we actually got an arb card of this!!!!!!!

if you zoom in really really closely you’ll see that not even the force of a waterfall flattens that hair of his lol

Hi Kelsey!! How are you?? I hope today is great!! 🩷

hi ashley!! this is an old ask but i’m saving you time!!

first - happy new year! i hope you’re having a wonderful start to 2025 and that this year brings nothing but great, exciting things for you!!

second, im fine. my sister kind of angered me last night by bringing her bf over when we had plans so i lowkey walked out like an hour to midnight and went back to my aunt’s house — but then i just hung out with my cousins, so…yay!!! she was texting me after like “i thought you’d understand id want him over for a new years kiss bc it’s our first new years together…and then we’d go back to watching our movie.” first of all, cringe? second of all, i had told her 50 billion times that the movie we were watching expired on netflix on dec 31—there was no movie to go back to!

so anyway, not a great note to start 2025 on with her but, no fault to that bf bc i’m sure he has 0 clue what’s going on, she’s being so annoying.

today, i have to study a little!! but im also off work so ill probably just write afterward? nothing too extravagant??

how are you? i hope your new years was more fun than mine lol🩷

Okay genuinely speaking commenting on my driving is the fastest way to get on my bad side

Just saw a post that made a cool point about like, fantasy where Ancient Technologies are the most high tech of the setting, and things from the 70s have better longevity than new stuff made to be replaced, and it was very smart and coreect but it made me think of like, The Opposite Direction.

By which i mean Oh. The Sartan were the equivalent to that generation of technology where they built everything w Asbestos and went this is great. This is so resilient it will outlive us. Surely this has nothing nothing to do with our rapidly decreasing population-
