listen. listen to me so carefully right now. (if you're in the eclipse path/planning on viewing). please don't stare directly at the sun tomorrow. i am begging you - do not stare at it. if you got eclipse glasses off of amazon/other, please put them on in your house and make sure you can't see anything; if you can still see like regular sun glasses, they are not safe for eclipse viewing, you will burn your retinas, and we cannot fix that. eclipse glasses should be iso/ce certified, and aas (american astronomical society) approved. please make smart choices and protect your eyes. please.

#psa from your friendly neighborhood eye care provider #the office is already fielding so many calls about this make good life choices #very important #eclipse #solar eclipse #eye health #not medical advice #just me screaming to please protect your eyes #ive seen exactly one case of solar retinopathy in my career so far please don't give me another one

I know the decision to have Julian's parents have him augmented was made on the fly but imo its pretty obvious from early on that Julian has Family Issues because he avoids talking about his family like the plague and I think they should've incorporated this into the Julian and Sisko dynamic right from early on because I think it would've made for some really compelling stories and moments and could've set up a REALLY interesting Julian and Jake dynamic which they kinda started to do but never fully went for

#star trek: ds9 #julian bashir #benjamin sisko #jake sisko #s1 Julian being so young and eager to prove himself and latching onto Sisko as this mentor figure to look up to #seeing Sisko with Jake and low-key seeking that fatherly figure connection which he won't even let himself think about #Sisko seeing this young brilliant doctor who's got all the makings to be something great and he's just GOTTA help him along #I think he would also catch on pretty quick that Julian's got Parental Issues #he tries to ask one day all casual like 'tell me about yourself :)' and Julian talks about nothing but Starfleet and med school #any attempts to ask about his family are met with awkward brief answers and redirections #and then theres the way Julian's eyes light up the first time Sisko invites him to watch a baseball game #like he Knows. he's a dad he Knows somethings up #but he doesnt pry #I also think it makes their dynamic more tragic towards the end of the series #where we have Sisko asking Julian to compromise his morals again and again #Julian's trust and respect for him gradually deteriorating #and then at the end of course Sisko is gone and they have no idea when he'll be back #which I think Julian would have a lot of complicated feelings about #but of course theres also Jake #I imagine they'd get closer #very brotherly dynamic #you know that scene in TNG where Wesley goes to Riker for girl advice and Riker and Guinan start flirting?#absolutely happens but with Jake asking Julian for girl advice and Julian wooing a girl at Quark's and Jake absolutely loses the plot #makes the events of ...Nor the Battle to the Strong more intense as well I think #also I like to think there'd be an episode where the B plot is Jake gets mad at Sisko and impulsively decides to move out #ends up at Julian's because he did not think this through #Julian is now very much caught in the middle of this family drama and he Fucking Hates It #also him and Jake are NOT compatible roommates but he's trying so so hard to be nice #eventually they have a talk and Julian cryptically hints at his own home life and tells Jake he's lucky he has a dad who cares so much #them being closer would work into what Alone Together sets up for them

THE ROOKIE- 6.03 ➦ Trouble In Paradise

#chenford #chenfordedit #the rookie #therookieedit #tim x lucy #tim and lucy #jesuis-assez edits: chenford #jesuis-assez edits: the rookie #He really took care of her in this episode. [like always]#From giving her advice -> distraction -> keeping an eye on her -> letting her sleep in -> the trophy -> reassurance.#Just doing everything he could to be there for her and support her #to keep her from burning out. If she was ever to crash this episode... or to have her hopes dashed. He would be there to catch her.#and he did. “I'm sorry for disappointing you.” “You could never disappoint me.” Giving her the words she needed to hear in that moment.#He gave her what she needed in this episode and more.#More importantly... He knew what she needed and he knew how to be there for her. He is in tune with her.#His understanding of her runs deep and flows through his actions just how devoted he is to her.#Perhaps Lucy wore the necklace he gave her to the oral exam... Not just because it's from someone she loves but #So she could feel him there with her for support. As he has supported her from the moment he found out she was working towards this.#Even when it was killing him inside to do so because of his related trauma.#I don't always communicate through the tags... but when I do--- you can't shut me up 🙃 [and they become quite lengthy]

If I had a nickel for every time I enter a fandom and there's a guy with an eyepatch in it, I’d have five nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened five times.

#sengoku basara #touken ranbu #life is strange 2 #moriarty the patriot #genshin impact #i have a lot of things to say about this group #i could see sean getting along with kaeya and mitsutada #mitsutada gives sean advice on how to take care of his eye #meanwhile okurikara and sada teaches daniel how to slit someone's throat #okurikara and daniel would also gush about their cute older brothers #tfiaw post

Transcript:

[From MAG 92]

Elias (Statement): -if I leave a letter here, in your institute, you might find it, you might be able to save me. I have no other hope. I have no other hope. Please, Jonah, if you have any compassion within your heart, you will not leave me in this place. Your loyal servant, Barnabas.

Elias: Jonah Magnus did leave him in that place, Jon. He got the letter, oh yes, and was on good terms with Mordechai Lukas. He could have interceded, perhaps even saved him, but he did not. And it was not out of malice, or because he lacked affection for Barnabas Bennett: he retrieved those bones sadly enough when the time came. Bones that you can still find in my office, if you know where to look.

No, it was because he was curious. Because he had to know, to watch and see it all.That’s what this place is, Jon, never forget it. You may believe yourself to have friends, to have confidantes, but in the end, all they are is something for you to watch, to know, and ultimately to discard.

[From MAG 159]

Jon: Martin. He’s gone, Martin. He – he’s gone.

Martin: His only wish was to die alone.

Jon: Tough. Now – listen to me, Martin. Listen.

Martin: Hello, Jon.

Jon: Listen, I know you think you want to be here, I know you think it’s safer, and well – well, maybe it is. But we need you. I need you.

Martin: No, you don’t. Not really. Everyone’s alone, but we all survive.

Jon: I don’t just want to survive!

Martin: I’m sorry.

Jon: Martin. Martin, look at me. Look at me and tell me what you see.

Martin: I see…

I see you, Jon.

I see you.

Jon: Martin.

Martin: I… I was on my own. I was all on my own.

Jon: Not anymore. Come on. Let’s go home.

Martin: How?

Jon: Don’t worry. I know the way.

Going insane about this for a multitude of reasons

#firstly i love how jon disregarding the one piece of 'advice' elias gives him leads him to the last step needed for the ritual #like. mmm the flavor of tragedy #second and more the main point I think it shows the main difference between Jonah and Jon #the two scenarios are SO unbelievably similar w/ a lukas a lonely victim and an eye person w/ the ability to free the lonely victim #the big difference is Jonah is willing to toss those around him to put himself up top #to be just a watcher #while jon goes in there and is not willing to let those he loves go #i don't doubt jonah saying he actually did care about barnabas actually #i thoroughly believe he did #he just didn't love him *enough* to do anything else other than watch #this is elias so everything he says is subject to at least two tablespoons of salt #maybe some lukas deal is forcing his hand to do nothing #but i don't think he'd keep barnbas' bones just for fun it seems terribly impractical #also the fact Jonah said that Jon is just meant to watch and see *others*#while in 159 jon let martin see *him*#like KJDNFIUSKDJ #tma #JMart #Jon Sims #Martin Blackwood #Elias Bouchard #MAG 92 #MAG 159 #MAG 92 an MAg 159 parallels my beloved #anyone who wants to ask me more about my thoughts about the gang pls don't hesitate to ask fjghfg

REV JAMES TRENCHARD: I hardly need tell you how good it is to see you. Please.

CLARA DUNN TRENCHARD: I thought of coming before, but, well, I've hesitated to put you in a position where you must keep something from Frederick. Emily told me that you're speaking again.

REV. JAMES TRENCHARD: We are.

CLARA DUNN TRENCHARD: But you do understand that he can't know.

REV. JAMES TRENCHARD: May I at least tell him that you've been in touch with your family and that you're safe? It would mean a very great deal to him.

CLARA DUNN TRENCHARD: Yes. I've seen the letters he's written. I certainly don't want him to feel so concerned. I'm so sorry about what's happened to him. I can hardly believe he has to sell the house.

REV. JAMES TRENCHARD: Actually, I think he rather wants to sell it. He was bequeathed a sum of money recently, not a fortune, but it would have been enough to prevent the sale. But he gave the money to me, to help the poor. He has changed, Clara. His whole view of the world and of his place in it is different. I believe he would find some sort of contentment, but he can't, because he doesn't have you. It breaks my heart. (James...) He deeply regrets the way he behaved...

CLARA DUNN TRENCHARD: He doesn't need to.

REV. JAMES TRENCHARD: Please, please will you see him, talk with him?

CLARA DUNN TRENCHARD: No. He hasn't lost my love. He couldn't. But even talking about this... My life now isn't happy, but it's simple and clear. I long for him. I do. But we're better off apart.

REV. JAMES TRENCHARD: You're wrong. Forgive me, but I know, I know you aren't better off apart. You need only dare to believe me.

How did Satan finally making his first appearance with a speaking role in the series that started with the horror of a woman being unknowingly manipulated by a satanic cult end up so...meh?

#how did you do that Levin? or the ghostwriter I suspect Levin had hired. whoever is responsible for this #I'm not even on edge at what's happening. i just do not care #the mood of the moment is ''oh I guess this asshole is here now''#thank goodness I'm almost done with this book #when I was nearing the end of rosemary's baby I felt a real sense of dread and pity for rosemary #the sequel doesn't even evoke 1/100 of that. I am reading this book just to finish it #it is so aggressively mid it ends up sucking. my advice? do not acknowledge this sequel #if you think you found it for real cheap on ebay or wherever no the fuck you did not. fight the illusion by averting your eyes #in fact if you think you found it at all no the fuck you didn't #i'm experiencing a delusion. do not join me in experiencing it. You don't want son of rosemary in your life #son of rosemary

dear god that would be turbo cringe or whatever, but seeing all those annoying little things in fics over and over again really makes me want to write one in which they're not obligatory funnymoments but rather like, words that have meaning and weight and so on

#shrimp thoughts #like. 1. characters acting all cryptic and condescending when their friend who isn't aware they're queer and in love comes to them for #advice like 'oh figure it out yourself baby :)' that's so obnoxious. this is a romcom not a hero's journey you're TWENTY not a Wise Mentor #2. characters acting condescending and rolling their eyes soooo hard about how their friend hasn't figured/took them so long to figure out #they're queer because it was so obvious! how can you be so dense! or: how can you be IGNORANT of kink matters (that we never told you about #3. characters making retching noises and complaining how disgusting/gross their friends are once they get together. the friends aren't #like frenching or fucking on the dining table but just smiling at each other. free pass at homophobia nonetheless ig #4. characters reacting to any sort of doubts/internal conflict their friend has with 'omg who cares just do the thing! stop overthinking!'#ETC ETC #so many times i've started reading a good fic with an otherwise engaging characterization only for the writer to pull an Easy Fan Favourite #like one of the above and like ggggghhhhhhhhhh #if it was one (1) character in one (1) fandom or even just a type of characters i wouldn't mind AS MUCH but it's everyone whether it makes #sense for them or not. is this guy calm and sensitive? doesn't matter! he's going to do and say the same things a silly chatterbox type #of a character because telling your friends they're gross for being a couple is universal now #OH i almost forgot. everyone's having kinky sex of many different kinds but react like twitter teenagers to any mention of sex in general #'ew! TMI! i don't want to hear about all the insane shit you do in your bedroom! not in front of the children! not while i'm eating!'#'just read better fanfiction' look i'm TRYING i'm TRYING OKAY

With every ounce of my soul I love queer men

#closed out the bar completely sober with my rugby president and vp just talking about all the shit that's frustrating us with the club #myself and my squad in particular and the amount of love and support and visibility ive been given #im not insane im not crazy im on point with my intuition #and ive been given very good advice on my own actions going forward and how to guide the team #and ultimately given permission to let go and be selfish #which... no one else has given me. no one. jm looked me dead in the eye and asked what i wanted. what makes me whole.#because thats what matters. what allows me to play on one hand. and what makes me whole on the other.#and gave me the permission i suppose i needed to pursue both simultaneously rather than suffering in silence for the squad #this is the support i joined for. the looking after I joined for.#i may be a big brother but i need care too.

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape? . . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!” | J.R.R. Tolkien |

actually my toxic trait is that I've never ever thought that my writing was bad idk what you guys are talking about

#not that this is a good thing!#there is something to be said for a healthy amount of self-doubt #or maybe self-doubt isn't the right word but you know. eyes to see how you could improve #I'm not good at taking writing advice and I'm not very willing to receive criticism #which is bad in terms of improvement #and I know this from my experience learning other skills which I'm not as confident about #but for some reason I'm like yeah no I like my writing and I don't particularly care what anyone else has to say about it #esp bc I feel like so much about writing is subjective and if my stuff isn't someone's cup of tea. well #I'm simply not going to take them as an objective authority #This is not to say that I think that my writing is some amazing fantastic better-than-everyone-else outlier #it's not it's just also not bad
