i think the reason why people tend to like douglas and not donald even though they're both horrible people is like... they at least address that part of douglas normally. like they make comments about evil and fucked up he is. whenever they talk about donald being that way they redeem him or end up trying to make it out like he's a good dad. like. no he's not. it's okay to not let him be. you're doing perfectly fine portraying douglas as a dickhead. you can do it for donald who is just as bad

I agree that Louis looked annoyed in places. I think it's just that this bodyguard is new to all the barricade chaos and doesn't really know how to deal with it. He takes his job too seriously, tbh he looked so stressed everytime Louis was near barricade 😭. Even that video everyone was talking about i feel like Louis did that double take in a who tf is touching my tummy kind of way, before he realized it was just the bodyguard ofc 🤣. Idk about #that group of weirdos but louies are just joking around and having fun it's not that serious

Right?! Yes, the look-back after the bodyslide and stomach stroke was a little uncomfortable to watch actually. Not because it was in any way intentional by the bodyguard - I think - but because Louis looked genuinely confused.

And then when they dragged him out the crowd and he literally ripped himself away from them with force. That wasn’t just ‘aw, guys, please?!’ that was ‘get off of me, I’m fucking fine’ 😭😭 and directed at both bodyguards.

Like, I’m sure the guy is new and I’m equally sure Louis has barely given it any further thought; but yeah… flip sides of the coin because I haven’t seen this perspective discussed much.

Re: the men in black quote - I think you misinterpreted what the point was haha, the guy said that in response to will smith's character going "wait you're telling me aliens are real? that's not true!" bc everyone thinks what they know is the sole factual truth until it inevitably gets disproved. so people once "knew" the earth being flat is The Truth, until scientists discovered otherwise - who knows what other supposed objective truths of our time will be disproven hundreds of years from now?

great news, you absolutely misinterpreted what I meant.

let's review: the quote in question is, "fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the earth was the center of the universe. five hundred years ago, everybody knew the earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. imagine what you'll know tomorrow."

my tags: #congenital defect to be the funsucker but those first two are obviously and patently untrue. still a fun quote

my meaning: neither of these statements are true because 1500 and 500 years ago, many, many people knew and had known that the earth was not the centre of the universe and that the earth was not flat, respectively.

explanation point A: 1500 years ago puts us at 523 AD.

the first non-geocentric (as in earth is the centre of the universe) model was proposed by Philolaus who died in 390 BC.

the first heliocentric model was proposed Aristarchus of Samos, who lived circa 290 BC.

The classic Tamil work Ciṟupāṇāṟṟuppaṭai from the 3rd-5th century AD by Nattattaṉār is so head in the game that it uses "the sun being orbited by planets" as a metaphor. so people had already, for hundreds of years, known that the earth was not the centre of the universe.

I can kind of see the point on this because the heliocentric model had undergone periods of acceptance and then got shot in the foot with the publication of the Almagest and wouldn't come back into vogue for some time. my point is that plenty of people had already known that the earth wasn't the centre of the universe.

explanation point B: 500 years ago puts us at 1523 AD.

there is no explanation for this. it's straight up lazy writing and historical revisionism and also believing popular and dumb myths.

our main man Pythagoras (6th century BC) proposed a spherical earth. This was followed up by a spherical earth model from no one's main man Aristotle (330 BC). Ptolemy (2nd century AD) made his maps from a globe.

the 5th century AD Indian astronomer Aryabhata (who also had some stuff going with the heliocentric solar system model! crazy!) assumed a spherical earth model in quantitative astronomy models for developing a calendar.

Persian baddie Fakhruddin Razi (1150 – 1209) explicitly said "...because the Earth, even though it is round, is an enormous sphere, and each little part of this enormous sphere, when it is looked at, appears to be flat."

getting closer to the present, Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) assumed a spherical earth model and that everyone KNEW that the earth was spherical.

for the hat trick, Ferdinand Magellan started his circumnavigation of the earth in 1519 and the ship came back in 1522, almost exactly 500 years ago! fucking Christopher Columbus knew the earth was a sphere!

which is to say: girl, they been knowing that!!! where the fuck have you been that you've been listening to Washington Irving about the idea that medieval (European) people thought that the earth was flat?

explanation point C: there are, effectively, no beliefs that have ever been so agreed on by all of humanity that we can say "everyone" "knew" it. ancient India had atheism. atom theory goes back to ancient Greece. there are plenty of examples of matrilineal and matriarchal societies that actually valued women as people. Thucydides, Lucretius, and Marcus Terentius Varro all had an idea of diseases being spread from an infected person to a healthy person ("there are bred certain minute creatures which cannot be seen by the eyes, which float in the air and enter the body through the mouth and nose and there cause serious diseases"). I point this out because I am a chronic funsucker who loves to nitpick, as I am doing now.

explanation point D: if you think I'm too stupid to understand this incredibly basic and historical oversimplifying ass quote, unfollow me.

400 words for the Horror Boggie👻

Better late than never, right?

Unfortunately, it keeps happening. Reggie and Luke pick out some of the scariest movies in the rental stack and Reggie wakes up screaming. It only takes a handful of times before Bobby puts his foot down, refusing to play any horror movies rated higher than PG, much to Luke and Reggie’s chagrin. 

Try as he may, Reggie’s pleading looks just aren’t that effective on thirteen year old Bobby. A thirteen year old Bobby who isn’t fond of his sleep being disturbed on a good day.

It takes a few years for Bobby’s resolve to start crumbling…

“Bobby, c’mon man. We’re not thirteen anymore! I promise I can handle it!” Reggie pleads, desperately wanting to watch the recently released movie that nobody at school can stop talking about. 

Luke drapes his arm around Reggie’s shoulder, painting his face with a pout that matches Reggie’s, “Yeah, Bobs. We’re not kids anymore. Stop being such a funsucker.”

Bobby glares at Luke, “I am NOT a funsucker.”

Luke purses his lips doubtfully, “Mmmm, you kinda are.”

“Reggie doesn’t need to be more traumatized.”

Reggie squeaks, “I am NOT traumatized.”

Bobby stares at him as Luke ruffles Reggie’s hair. 

Reggie turns to glare at Luke before directing his attention back to Bobby. He puts on his most pathetic puppy dog face, fluttering his eyelashes dramatically and clasping his hands under his chin. He and Luke have always known the power their faces hold and regularly use it to their advantage but Reggie’s only recently realized how effective it can be with Bobby. That realization is also accompanied with exploring how far he can take it.

Bobby sighs, “Fine. One time, we can try. But just once.”

Reggie whoops gleefully. 

They settle into their usual spots, which haven’t changed in the last two years, as Bobby sets up his brand new DVD player with the rental. 

Much like when they were thirteen, Reggie and Luke still hide behind Alex and Bobby at the scariest parts. Much like when they were thirteen, Bobby teases Luke about it mercilessly. Much like when they were thirteen, Bobby and Alex share exasperated, though no less amused, looks over the antics of the other boys. Unlike when they were thirteen, these looks now seem to be accompanied by a little more pink on their cheeks than either of them will ever be willing to admit to. 

Unfortunately, much like when they were thirteen, the boys are awoken by Reggie deep in the throes of his most recent nightmare.

Send me a number and I'll write that many words for a WIP

With the current issues going on after this recent Splatfest, let me remind everybody:

-SPLATFESTS ARE NOT THE NINTENDO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS! THEY ARE INTENDED TO BE A FUN COMPETITION BASED ON OPINIONS, NOT ON WHO’S 🐓 IS BIGGER.

-THE PURPOSE OF SPLATFESTS IS TO PICK AN OPTION BASED ON YOUR PREFERENCES (NOT BECAUSE THE INK LOOKS LIKE “🥛” OR “💩”, OR BECAUSE YOU HAVE A 💦🍆 FOR AN IDOL).

-SPLATFESTS ARE NOT AN END ALL, BE ALL FOR THE SERIES AS A WHOLE! THE ONLY TIME IT IS, IS IN REGARDS TO THE FINAL SPLATFEST! -IF YOUR TEAM LOSES, IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD! YEAH, IT MAY BE ANNOYING TO LOSE CONSTANTLY. YEAH, IT MAY SUCK BEING ON THE LOSING TEAM, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, ITS ABOUT HAVING FUN AND GOING ALL IN, 🥎⚾️ OUT! -IF YOU GET ANNOYED WITH MIRROR MATCHES OR YOU GET TIRED OF DISCONNECTS OR LOSSES , TAKE A BREAK. PLAY FETCH WITH FIDO, HUG A TREE, TOUCH GRASS, GET HYDRATED, TAKE A NAP! YOU HAVE A GOOD 2 DAYS TO TAKE PART, YOU DON’T HAVE TO GET TO RULER IN ONE NIGHT!

-IF YOU EASILY GET MAD OR TOXIC ABOUT CONSTANTLY LOSING, SEEK HELP, GO TO COUNSELING, TALK TO THE SHRINK, TAKE A CHILL💊,💨 SOME 🍃, BECAUSE BRINGING TOXICITY TO SOMETHING THAT’S INTENDED TO BE FUN SUCKS THE FUN OUT OF IT AND YOU’RE BEING A FUNSUCKER, WHICH EVERYONE HATES!

-IF YOU SEE A PLAYER BEING TOXIC OR ACTING LIKE AN 🫏, REPORT THEM! YOU CAN EITHER REPORT THEM IN GAME WITH THE MINUS BUTTON OR GO TO THEIR PLAYER PROFILE AND REPORT THEM.

-KEEP IN MIND THAT WHILE SPLATOON IS A FIGHTING GAME WITH A COMPETITIVE ELEMENT, ITS MEANT TO BE A GAME FOR ALL AGES TO ENJOY! ITS NOT FORTNITE, CALL OF DUTY OR PUBG! KEEP THE ADULT LANGUAGE, VULGARITIES, AND GENERAL 🫏 🧢 ANTICS TO THE AFOREMENTIONED GAMES.

-GIVEN I’VE SEEN ALOT OF POSTS ON SPLATOON 3 TODAY THAT ARE REALLY PROBLEMATIC AND COULD RESULT IN PLAYERS GETTING BANNED PERMANENTLY, BE CONSIDERATE OF WHAT YOU POST BECAUSE WHILE ITS VALID TO BE UPSET, THERE IS A RIGHT AND WRONG WAY OF DOING SO. CREATING POSTS THREATENING OTHER PLAYERS WITH “UNALIVING” THEM, SAYING A COMPANY IS “INSERT OBSCENITIES HERE” OR HARASSING OTHER PLAYERS IS THE WRONG WAY AND WILL RESULT IN YOU GETTING MORE TICKED OFF SINCE YOU CAN’T PLAY BECAUSE OF BEING PERMABANNED.

-LASTLY, KEEP IN MIND, AT THE END OF THE DAY, SPLATOON IS A VIDEO GAME THAT TAKES PLACE IN A FICTITIOUS WORLD. WHAT HAPPENS IN GAME IS NOT GONNA AFFECT YOU IN REAL LIFE. IT’S A MEANS OF BLOWING OFF STEAM, NOT AN EXTENSION OF A MEANS TO BULLY AND HARASS PEOPLE.

birthday blitz

just a fun little 2k jolt of excitement and fun for my dear @notsuchasecret for their birthday

going back to the original Samezuka Trio content here.  if you want OG Samezuka Trio, shenanigans, tomfoolery, tentative relationship/friendship anarchy, adult language and not so adult actions, and Seijuurou questioning his life choices then this is the thing for you.  if not? that’s cool.  dldr and all that jazz :D

happiest of birthdays my dear gremlin

(click here to read on my tumblr and not on the dash)

Ai rolls over and yanks the blankets away from Rin for the third time in as many minutes and Rin reminds himself that he loves Ai and that wrapping him in the damn blankets like a mummy and throwing him out the window is something he really, really probably shouldn’t do.  He rolls over and buries his face in Seijuurou’s shoulder and listens as he starts taking deep breaths.

Maybe the throwing Ai out the window thing wouldn’t be so bad?  Maybe Seijuurou would go along with it this time?

“Imagine if you could peel your nipples off like a sticker.  And replace them with, I dunno.  googly eyes.”

“Can you, for one night, not talk like a shitpost from 2012 at one in the morning?”

Ai scoffs.  “Can you, for one night, not be a funsucking vampire looking for a snack when I ask you a question?” Ai mocks him.

Seijuurou lets out a sigh so deep it’s almost a growl.  “Can you both, for one night, just shut up and let me sleep?”

Rin rolls over and looks at Ai, eyebrows raised and a smile on his face.  Ai grins back at him, sharp and sweet like only he can really manage.

“Nope,” they shout in unison as they scramble over and around each other in an attempt to wrap Seijuurou in their blankets and roll him off the bed.  Seijuurou lets them for a few seconds before he starts fighting back.  Seijuurou grumbles and growls but Rin catches a smile on his face as he throws the blanket off himself and tries to wrap it around Ai.

—

“I.  Uh.  I have questions.”

Seijuurou barely even looks up from where he’s crouched down tying his shoes.  He doesn’t need to look.  He already knows the disaster on display in the other room.  He’s been blatantly ignoring the disaster for the last three and a half hours.  Which is why he called backup.  He’s still not entirely sure he chose the correct backup.  But he was kind of desperate, okay?

“Don’t,” he says as he finishes tying his shoes.  “Just. Don’t.”

“Don’t have questions?” Sugawara asks.  “Or don’t ask the questions.”

“Either.  Both.  Just.”  Seijuurou waves his hand towards the other room.  “It’s safer for everyone if you just ignore it and get the hell out while you can.”

Sugawara nods.  “I roomed with Tanaka and Bokuto one summer.  I understand.”  Seijuurou grabs his keys and wallet from the jacket he had left them in and shoves them into his pants pocket.

“Okay,” he says, gesturing to the door.  “Let’s get out of here.”

Sugawara’s head is tilted to the side like a curious puppy and he’s blinking rapidly and making a quiet, almost distressed noise as he stares into the other room.

“Uh, Mikoshiba?”

“Shit,” he sighs.

“The broccoli is on fire.”

“You mean the oranges, right?”

“No.  No, it's definitely broccoli.”

“I’m done.  I’m too old for this shit.  Let’s go.”

He snags Sugawara’s elbow and pulls him out of the house, determinedly not looking at what he’s leaving behind.

Disaster One and Disaster Two don’t even seem to realize he’s left.  He’s not sure if he should be offended or relieved.  He loves them.  He really does.  But some days he wonders just what the hell he was thinking when he agreed to move in with them all those years ago.

Sugawara keeps quiet for the entire walk from the house to the shopping district.  Which is nice.  It’s one of the reasons he enjoys Sugawara’s company.  They can spend most of a day together hanging out and actually spend very little of it talking.  It’s especially refreshing on a day like today where he’s spent the last week cooped up with Rin and Ai both because their schedules all managed to align with the same stretch of free time.  Which unfortunately aligned with the rainiest, windiest week they’ve seen in months.

“I have one question,” Sugawara says eventually.  He’s staring off into the distance when Seijuurou glances up from the display of keychains he’s been poking through.  Sugawara’s got the kind of look on his face that makes Seijuurou both curious and mildly uncomfortable because he’s never sure if the look is going to lead to a hilarious story from Sugawara about something one of his many crow friends did once upon a time or if it’s gonna lead to the two of them missing ninety percent of their clothing running away from a swarm of bees.

Again.

“Okay,” he says warily.

“Why was the fact that it was broccoli and not oranges the bigger issue and not the fact that they were on fire in the first place?”

Seijuurou groans softly.  “That’s a long story.”

Sugawara shrugs.  “I mean.  I’ve got all day.  Tell me a story and I’ll buy you lunch?”

He doesn’t necessarily want to tell the story.  But he’s also not about to pass up free lunch.

“Okay.  So.”

—

“Rei.  Rei Rei Rei!”   Rei looks up just in time to catch Ai as he trips over his own feet and tumbles into Rei’s lap.  Ai immediately latches his arms around Rei’s neck and grins at him.   “I have to tell you something!”  

Ai’s whisper is more of a shout but no one else really pays them much attention.  Which has more to do with most everyone else in the room being just as wasted as Ai is than it does them being granted a smidgen of privacy.

“What do you have to tell me?” Rei does his best to keep his voice at a reasonable level.  But he’s not totally sober either so he’s only moderately sure of his success.

Ai starts giggling and Rei can’t help but laugh along with him after a moment.

“I just.  You have to promise.  Okay?  You have to promise.”

“Okay.  I can do that.”  Rei manages to control his laughter.  “What am I promising?”

“Not to be upset that I didn’t tell you sooner.”

“Oh.  Okay.”  Rei nods.  “I’m not upset you didn’t tell me sooner.”

Ai snorts and Rei tries really, really hard not to start laughing again.

“I haven’t even told you yet.”

“Oh.  You’re right.  What do you have to tell me?”

Ai looks around the room with wide eyes.  He looks around too but doesn’t see anything out of the ordinary.  Rin and Seijuurou are sitting on the couch across from the chair Rei is currently sharing with Ai.  Haru, Nagisa, and a couple of Seijuurou’s friends that Rei can’t quite remember the names of are in the kitchen.  Momo disappeared down the hallway with Sugawara and Makoto a few minutes ago and Rei has half a second to wonder what, exactly, they’re up to before Ai tightens his arms and catches Rei’s attention.

“I have to tell you.”  Ai takes a deep breath and holds Rei’s gaze.  “I’m gay.”

Rei blinks a few times as this rolls around in his head.

“Oh.  Okay.”

Ai’s jaw drops with a gasp.  “That’s it?  Just ‘oh okay’?  That’s all?”

“I mean.  Your first kiss was with Uozumi followed immediately with a second kiss with Minami.  Your first date was with Nagisa.  Your first wet dream was about Rin and Haru.  Every person you’ve ever crushed on or gone out with has been a male.  So I kind of am not super surprised?”

Rin lets out a startled noise that has Seijuurou shushing him with a laugh.  Rin bats at Seijuurou’s shoulder and leans so far forward he almost falls off the couch.

“Haru was part of that dream?” Rin hisses.  “You never told me that he was involved!”

Ai blinks his big blue eyes at Rei and Rei quickly shakes his head.  He did not know that Rin didn’t know all the details and he may have accidentally just spilled the news but he wants no other part in this.  He’s clearly done enough.

“I trusted you,” Ai whimpers.  “I just told you I was gay and you, you, you spill my secrets like this?”

He can hear Rin grumbling in the background as Seijuurou makes comforting noises that Rin grumbles even louder at and he can see the starry watery sheen of Ai’s fathomless eyes and he feels a little bit like he’s about to be pulled underwater by something dangerous and very toothy and just out of sight and he swallows so hard that he’s sure the people in the kitchen can surely hear it.  He has a fleeting thought about sharks and blood and something else that’s on the tip of his tongue.

Cool hands land on his shoulders and he jolts, Ai nearly falling off his lap.  He tilts his head back even though he already knows who is standing there.

Haru quirks a smile down at him and the fleeting thoughts about sharks and blood are much less fleeting.  For all that he’s often characterized as a fish or a dolphin among their friends Haru is more of a fucking shark in the water than any of the Samezuka team have ever been.

“Aiichirou,” Haru says in a quiet, firm voice that has even Rin falling silent, no doubt holding his breath to hear whatever Haru is about to say.  “You told the wet dream story to Nagisa.  While he had you on speaker when he was in my room with me and Kou.  You went into terrifyingly explicit details.  I very highly doubt Rei is the one spilling your secrets.”

Ai pouts up at Haru for a few seconds and, once he realizes that Haru isn’t going to crack, he sticks his tongue out and wriggles himself out of Rei’s lap so he can flop on the couch with Rin and Seijuurou.

“Thank you, Haruka,” Rei whispers.  Haru smiles sweetly at him and kisses the top of his head softly.

“You’re welcome.”

—

“You need new friends.”

Rin startles a little and looks over curiously.  “What?”

“I said that you need new friends.”

“I heard you.  But.  What the fuck do you mean by that, Takuya?

Uozumi shudders.  “First of all.  It’s weird when you say my name.  You’ve called me that like three times in the decade or so we’ve known each other please don’t.  Second of all.  I am classifying myself in that category.  Get new friends.  Please release me from this torture.”

“Torture?  I am a delight to be friends with.”  Nagisa snickers and Rin smacks him on the back of the head without even looking.  “You will never find another friend as great as me shut up, Nagisa.”

Uozumi points at Nagisa like he’s making some grand point of some kind.  Rin rolls his eyes because, really?  Any point you’re making using Nagisa as an example — good or bad — is kind of a ridiculous point as far as Rin is concerned.

“I didn’t even say anything,” Nagisa protests.  “Damn.”

“You didn’t need to.  Your face says plenty even when your mouth is shut.”

“Oh yeah?”  Nagisa smacks Rin’s shoulder.  “What’s it saying now?  Huh?”

Uozumi sighs —  in a way that is far too dramatic for someone who willingly chooses to spend time with Momotarou of all people — as Rin turns to glare at Nagisa.

“It says you’re just jealous that I’m hot and have two hot boyfriends while you have… whatever it is that you have with your odd looks and strange little squishy cheeks.”

Nagisa’s eyes narrow dangerously and Rin grins in response.

“Your boyfriends are about to become widows,” Nagisa growls.  Rin has enough time to jump to his feet and get a few long strides away before Nagisa launches himself at him.

He thinks he hears Uozumi mutter something about new friends again but then Nagisa somehow manages to catch Uozumi’s elbow and then Rin is running for his life as they chase him down the beach.

—

Seijuurou rolls over with a groan when Rin pokes his side.

“Breakfast in bed,” Ai coos.  “Just for you.”

“Happy Birthday, old man,” Rin adds.

“Thirty is not old,” Seijuurou grumbles.

“Yeah.”  Ai pokes him this time until he opens his eyes and sits up against the headboard.  Ai hands him a plate and kisses his forehead.  “Thirty isn’t old.  You’re right.”

Rin kisses his cheek.  “But thirty-one is,” he teases.

Seijuurou’s gonna get him back for that.

Later.

After he eats his breakfast in bed.  And maybe takes a nap.

It’s his birthday, after all.

wait pls say more abt the netflix pirate documentary !! are parts of it wrong/misleading 👀

The Lost Pirate Kingdom is.... well its a pirate documentary. So, it's not untrue... but it's not necessarily true either.

Everything presented is based on some form of historical documentation. The problem with is that people were already inventing the mythology of pirates while actual pirates were still happening, so it all gets intertwined in ways that are hard for us to distinguish 300 years later (A General History of the Pirates is the most infamous example of this)

For example, in the Sam Bellamy storyline of the documentary, his long lost love Mary Hallet is included. She...maybe existed in real life. We don't really know! She mostly comes up in Cape Cod folklore, but there aren't any primary sources saying the two of them ever met (if she was real. it's complicated). So the inclusion of this is romanticized flavortext more than anything

I know I'm being a huge funsucker, but I kind of take issue with the documentary presenting itself as 100% actual documentary when clearly the producers would've done enough research to know what they could and could not reliably claim.

It'd be like (I'm sorry)... making a documentary about Alexander Hamilton based on Hamilton the musical. Like, sure, most of that did happen, but not necessarily that way, and certainly not all of it. You can't prove the real Hamilton didn't secretly want to fuck Angelica Schuyler, but you also shouldn't present that as a fact to an audience that won't be able to tell it's just conjecture.

It's not a bad film, it's okay! It presents the period of history I am most passionate about! I just would like it a lot better if it included clearer indication of what is actual history and what is best guessing to make the story more interesting. When you do that, it's not a documentary.

(however you could also say that it's the perfect pirate documentary, given that piracy is all about deluding the lines between fiction and reality!)

[thelastattempt]

I promise you Louis wasn’t thinking ‘right I’ll use the white rose, the most popular symbol of Yorkshire, and this from the rose of Lancaster’ or whatever (Lancaster isn’t in Yorkshire and has no significance for Louis - Lancashire is in a completely different part of the country) but sure Louis is a history buff now 👍 Sometimes the simplest explanations are the correct ones instead of trying to find all these layers

I actually agree that the simplest explanation is probably the correct one and I’d refer you back to the differing side by side images.

And I’m not sure why you find the idea of Louis knowing his history so bizarre? It’s an extremely well known period of English history, with far reaching connotations for the political and religious landscape for generations. But okay, whatever you want. He’s just a silly guy doing silly things.

so did Valmafra have a job at the Southern Sky or was she just like Delita’s shifty friend or

Ovelia: Oh! A new fruit merchant!

Valmafra: (Holding out a piece of fruit in a sort of seductive witchy way.) Apple?

Ovelia: Um… hm. I suppose an apple would be nice right now.

Valmafra: (As the princess is about to bite into it.) It’s not poison.

Ovelia: (She stops.) Actually Delita why don’t you try the apple first.

Delita: (Taking it gingerly.) As you like, your highness. Of course, we’re in full view of half the castle, so if anything were to happen to either of us here…

Valmafra: Ugh FINE— (Snatching the apple back.) Take a different apple then. Funsucker

saw a lot of ppl mad about a tweet where op put d*nji over the lesbian flag and like. it opened my eyes, it’s a good tweet. but they were soooo mad about it lol like ‘nooo he’s a man he can’t be a lesbian!!11!” i am rolling my eyes so hard

my dear little funsuckers, i have two concepts to introduce to you the first is headcanons and the second is gender non-conformity! also it’s just. fun. it’s funny to take a guy who’s obsessed with women and be like ‘no he’s a lesbian actually <3’. like i think cs/m would be SO GOOD with lesbian d*nji and op thought it would be too. it’s for FUN. 

like if that silly tweet made you mad i’d hate to see how you treat Actual Real People lesbians who use he/him or gays who use she/her! or lesbians who don’t look like Real Women TM. or anyone who doesn’t Conform to what you think a lesbian should look and act like.
