i love aus where twiyor meet as twilight & thorn princess first cause i think twilight would always flirt with thorn princess and every time she gets so flustered, but occasionally tease back in her own awkward way. but when they meet as loid and yor, loid suddenly has no game and is just pathetically in love with yor.

@light-koe-pinsky I think I saw you tag a post with a prompt like this and my brain went on autopilot /pos

Yeah so, in my mind, the difference between modern Bugs and classic Bugs is that classic Bugs was unmedicated. Daffy should be on meds, but gets by unmedicated a lot better than Bugs.

Also Daffy would use this scenario as an excuse for why he should be the one managing Bugs’ finances.

I'm sure this has already been said, but we need a proper prestige TV adaptation of Moby-Dick. For 10 minutes out of every episode, it becomes a nature documentary about whales.

Idk I feel like if you need to deny historical facts to make your point, your point is probably shit.

If you're out there claiming that the Virgin Mary was Muslim (? Islam wouldn't even be a thing for another 6 centuries, it is the youngest of the Abrahamic religions, what do they even teach you at school) or that she was "Palestinian" (the name the Romans gave the region of Judea in the 2nd century as a "fuck you" to the Jews for their rebellion, it's related to the word Philistine), then it's going to be harder to take the otherwise good points you might be making about the war, Palestinian suffering and civilian casualties seriously. If you're out there taking easily disproved propaganda lies as fact because you hate Israel and Jewish people, you're actually completely invalidating your argument.

This is my entire issue with the so-called 'pro-Palestine' movement and why I had to stop attending peace rallies, like it is one thing to say that the Jewish immigration in the 19th and early 20th century displaced Muslims who had been living in the region for centuries and an another thing entirely to just fully outright deny the history of the region, the history of Jewish suffering and the Jewish connection to the land.

Tld,dr Mary couldn't be Muslim because Islam didn't exist yet, and she couldn't be Palestinian because the region wasn't called that yet either. Those are the facts. You can bitch and moan about it all you want, but feelings aren't facts, the facts are against you, and if you need to twist the facts to fit a narrative then it's time to take a huge fucking step back and wonder when you became the thing you claim to hate: a raging bigot who doesn't give two shits about historical truths and would rather put your fingers in your ears and close your eyes forever and believe ahistorical lies that confirm your biases rather than face the inconvenient truths.

i think one of the strangest examples of cognitive dissonance on here might be the crowd who are very like proud of their affinity for capital-h Horror and post about how anyone who doesn't like whatever their erotic cannibalism etc etc thing is is a terminally steven universe media illiterate anti-intellectual, but also like, makes callout posts for kinksters and incest shippers calling them pedophiles

Sorry to talk about him again but i've just learned today that Neil Gaiman is the son of the (once) Scientology PR chief in the UK, AND apparently he’s still funneling money to the cult. Hello???? a) Can this guy get any worse lmao, b) the BBC now has the funniest casting opportunity for whoever's gonna play Giles Harmon in the future adaptation of The Running Grave
