it must really suck for Hob to get a song stuck in his head that as been lost to time so he can’t look up the lyrics because he’d have to hum the broken melody to a mid-1400’s drinking song for three weeks straight until he gets something more recent to replace it or Dream has mercy on him and plays it for him in his dreams

ok so knee deep in girls to the front which is incredibly interesting to hold up against dance of days. but the number one thing that keeps itching at my brain is like. I feel like so much of the discussion around riot grrl does a disservice to the fact this community was full of literal teenagers, both from the standpoint of why they were taking the specific actions they were, with what little political power young women are able to wield, but also explains why riot grrl... isn't perfect like god forbid the radical thought i had at seventeen doesn't just start a very public and easily hated youth moment but is also scrutinized and held up forever as The Thing You Believe Now. so much of my personal issue re: riot grrl is with the Canon and the retrospective understanding of the scene and much much less to do with the actual things fermenting in young people's minds/motivating them into taking actionable steps to mitigate unrelenting patriarchy because it's admirable to see young people take those steps.

Gabriel: I promise you I'm going to regain control over Adrien and seize all the Miraculous. Ladybug's, Cat Noir's and the Peacock. As it turns out, Félix had the bright idea of leaving this behind during has last visit. (Hands Tomoe the special high-tech lens Félix dropped during his investigation of the manor in "Risk".)
I realize this is small potatoes in the large scheme of things, but why does Gabriel have that lens in the first place? We see Adrien pick it up TWICE. End of Risk, and beginning of Strike Back.
Admittedly we don't see what he does with it but I had ASSUMED that this was leading somewhere.
Mea culpa, I suppose.

Saturday afternoon I ran into Gibernau in the paddock.
"I heard that tomorrow HRC are having a press conference," he said.
"That's right, just after the race," I replied.
"You'll say you're staying at Honda, won't you?" he asked.
"No, actually. I'll announce I'm moving to Yamaha," I answered.
I saw a flash in his eyes. First astonishment, then happiness. I could tell he had done some quick thinking and figured that it would only be good for him. He reckoned that I wouldn't do much on a Yamaha. I could read it on his face, just as I later could read it in the faces of so many other people who doubted me and my choice.

i think we need to invent something that just makes a buzzer sound every time someone disparages the quality of their own fic/says "it's not that good/writing will get better soon" in THEIR OWN SUMMARY like it is literally basic common sense/marketing that you do not criticize what you yourself are putting out in the space (summary box) designed to make people want to read it

have been trying to get support *since monday* on a technical issue on a website i really really absolutely need to access very very urgently and either the call gets disconnected or whatever workaround they suggest *doesn't work* and they won't answer my emails either and this one particular thing can *only* be done online and i'm beyond frustrated at this point lol.
i've done the call center thing myself for a long time and i know it's not their fault and they're as frustrated as i am and have to smile through it all day before going home to have a nervous breakdown, but still i'm having a hard time not having a breakdown on the phone myself by now when i do get through to an actual person.
okay, just needed to vent here because i'm not ever going to be rude to customer service people but i do have to leave this anger somewhere. ^^
feeling like absolute shit today doesn't help.

question question why do you hate remus so much (also im dumb so if this is the wrong blog im referring to im sorry)
i don’t know which blog you meant to refer to 😂 but i’ll answer this anyway. i don’t hate remus!
i think i treat him quite fairly as to how he is in canon; kind, clever, gentle, manipulative, undependable, deadbeat…
i think he’s a very interesting character. he’s certainly not my favourite or anything but i do like him. i think he’s extremely flawed and fandom tends to SUPREMELY gloss over those flaws because hey you know. you can’t like someone who left one of his best friends to rot in prison for 12 years and walked out on his pregnant wife (you can, btw)
