#fuck mothers in particular

I highly recommend being kicked out of the family. Yeah your siblings might be not talking to you in fear of getting a beating from their (your) gaslighting parents but hey, truth is you've never spent any holidays this peacefully.

I actually really want Eugene to officiate the Varigo wedding because one, it’s not a very official or proper wedding. If anything, it’s something Rapunzel and Varian put together in one week and is essentially just a giant party where they blow stuff up and eat cake. Varian totally asks Eugene thirty minutes beforehand if he will officiate and after five minutes of sobbing, he agrees.

And two, because I want him to say this line-

“It has been a joy to watch your distracting childish rivalry turn into a distracting childish courtship, which will undoubtedly turn into a distracting childish marriage.”

and if i said suguru’s relationship with weakness (’the preciousness of the weak, the ugliness of the weak’) was born out of his feelings towards his mother …

i'm so ambivalent about frigga! on one had i think the MCU treated her very poorly and so fandom should build her up and give her some more 'oomph,' on the other hand what fandom has done with her also annoys me because it apparently decided she's the good parent to be contrasted with her husband even when they did the exact same things.

so i always have the urge to "support" her by making her problematic in one way or another. and strange. she deserves to be strange.

also in a very real way being a soap opera actress is kind of like. one of those half-baked dreams i have that i will never ever pursue. like if someone offered me an open role on a daytime soap opera wo having to audition i would absolutely accept. i would be like hell yeah id love to act these melodramatic dialogue scenes day in and day out. i cant tell u why. so i cant imagine someone doing that and then just moving onto being a serious actor in big high budget things and having legitimate fans who arent old ladies who watch abc every weekday at 2pm. a part of me is like why would you even wanna do that?

this is so compelling and interesting to me which is nice bc i’ve never in my life spared a thought for criston cole…. also just on a base level i’m glad alicent is taking physical pleasure for herself after a lifetime of forced marriage and marital rape… like yeah she deserves that, even if it’s Fraught like all things are when you’re trying to live within westerosi power structures

me, oblivious: let's just stop overthinking and read zeithain. my german isn't that bad. i'm sure i can understand it. the wust section is about his childhood anyways, it's probably just cute, what could possibly go wr–

katte, at page 41 of 784: i can't picture my mother in that stony embrace. when i enter the crypt, i think of nothing. this house smells of stone and dirt, not of anything living or dead.

sometimes I’ll see takes on female characters and realise that some of y’all have very little empathy for women. particularly older women.

i must not get upset at my lack of an irish accent. getting upset at my lack of an irish accent is the mind killer. getting upset at my lack of an irish accent is the small despair that brings complete ego collapse.

Someone insisting we don't learn language intuitively unless homeschooled...Did...did your parents put in you in school at 18 months of age? Did a teacher go around a room of toddlers with a dictionary saying, "This is what 'mama' means"? Because if the answer to that is no--and it is definitely no--you learned language intuitively, like everyone else. The finer points you learn in school, and later on your own, but even as you're doing that, you're still picking up words and phrases just by talking to people and reading.

Don't do this often, but this story made me see red; if there is anything in this world that I hate the most, it is child abusers (and child abuse apologists). I don't fucking care who you are, what you identify as nor your race: there are no amount of labels, illnesses - nothing - that you can use to excuse this level of depravity (nor any kind of sexual misconduct around children for that matter). This is downright demonic and there's too fucking much of this evil shit in the world. I wish the universe would just erase this bastard and all like him, just reformat completely to start over as dirt.

i don't want to be weird here but do non-australians know that the "dingo ate my baby" thing is like. a real thing that happened. or do they just think it's silly words.
