#give me ten minutes

[oxbowreality]

Weird take, but ever since I lost my mind I've kind of wished people would compliment me more on my looks than my intelligence. I know it's a bit strange, but I feel I can control my looks but I don't feel like I can control my intellect. I don't feel like it's the result of hard work. It's a matter of luck and I've been unlucky, and now it's gone. I don't think as quickly, or as rationally, or as clearly as before. Yet people will look at my past accomplishments and say that surely I must be intelligent, that I must be worthy of their attention, that if I just pulled myself together I could do whatever they were attempting to flatter me into doing.

That doesn't work anymore; it just upsets me. True, I remember how to talk. I'm relatively fortunate in that respect. But I'd like to be seen as having value as a person whether or not I am intelligent. People have generally learned that people should not be valued solely on their looks, but that's not the end of it. People are worthy of respect because they are people. The right to dignity came free with your humanity.

since Eng is getting 7.5 soon(?), I felt motivated to go back to my Meleanor rig and make her a couple of lesson animations! ...except for alchemy, because the cauldron bubbles proved too hard to photoshop around, whoops.

maybe she just got lost on her way to the classroom...?

(credit: backgrounds are from the game, I just put her on top of 'em)

(aside from the backgrounds, this is not an edit, I drew her from scratch! please do not tag or treat as an edit!)

ik this topic has been done to death but byler and rovickie had very similar relationship arcs in s4

like. canonically queer character has a crush on another character all season but that character is shown to be in a heterosexual relationship. the heterosexual relationship is not in a good place at the end of the season (vickie and her boyfriend breaking up, mike and el not talking after the monologue), and the last scene we see of the queer character and their crush is of them together.

and everyone accepts that one is of these ships is endgame but everyone argues about the other

ANDREW GARFIELD

for the Buzzfeed Puppy Interview

[skyloftian-nutcase]

Four was honestly surprised how many people were here. It was his first big trip, and it was definitely overwhelming. He was usually a loner, but he had to admit… he was thankful he’d asked a friend to come along.

Legend laughed as he texted someone, face glowing with glee. He elbowed Four mischievously. “We should definitely send pictures to Wars.”

“Is that who you’re texting?” Four asked with a smile, enjoying the cheer from his usually grumpier friend. Legend adored education conferences - his friend was nothing if not a lover of learning and exploring new things.

“Oh absolutely,” Legend replied, showing his phone. “He’s upset because I went to the emergency medicine conference and then went to this one. Personally, I think he’s just jealous because I have a cert he doesn’t.”

“Wait, Wars doesn’t have his CCRN?” Four questioned, confused. He figured Warriors, who had everything in his life in order, would have his critical care nursing certification. It was fairly common for nurses in ICU and ED settings.

“Nope!” Legend quipped with delight, obviously ecstatic that he had something over the military nurse.

“Okay, but important question: where are we going to get dinner?”

“Somewhere it doesn’t cost half our paycheck.”

Four glanced around at the skyscrapers. “Uh… not sure we’re going to manage that. I didn’t think the Hebra Mountains had cities like this.”

“Well, then we can contemplate Brugada Syndrome and complicated EKG rhythms while we starve,” Legend supposed.

“Oh, don’t be like that,” Four laughed. “This is a trip, we shouldn’t worry about the cost too much.”

”We don’t make Time’s salary.”

“But we make decent salary.”

Legend bit his lips, stubborn. Four narrowed his eyes analytically. “This isn’t about how much the food costs; it’s because you’ve blown your budget on coffee, isn’t it?”

His friend immediately flushed, guilty as charged. “They charge ten rupees for coffee! Ten!! This place is ridiculous!”

“I told you your caffeine addiction would come back to bite you someday,” Four smiled. “Or, well, more so than it already has.”

“I swear, if you bring up the SVT episode one more time—”

MISS IVY

[son-n-heir-of-nothing]

Just a thought but Loki and Mobius talking and Mobius brings up something about himself that Loki hadn't known about before and Loki's kinda like "Huh..... I really don't know that much about you" and brings up how unfair it is given how much Mobius knows about him and his personal life.

In which Mobius asks "What'd you wanna know?"

And Loki simply tells him "everything."

(Then maybe a fun game of twenty questions ensues and and and and maybe Loki finds himself falling hard for him by the end of it.

I just think it'd be sweet to have them have a deep conversation which varies from silly questions to extremely serious but able to bounce between the two

Needless to say, Loki exceeds the 20-question limit but neither of them mind).

So I marathoned the last season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power today, and would have watched this years ago if I'd known about the badass canon enemies-to-lovers lesbians.

Why I actually started is because someone was complaining about Catra, in a way that made her sound cool and interesting to me. She is a glorious disaster in exactly the way I like. I'm exhibiting self-control by not reblogging 500 pieces of Catradora fanart in a row. And they have 12,000+ fics on AO3? I don't even know where to start with that. I feel like a starving peasant who's used to scavenging in half-dead fandoms, and someone's just sat me down at an overloaded banquet table and now I'm figuring out which cutlery to use. Decadence.

Have to admit, I do enjoy the Catradora / Rafalear parallel tropes too. Sunshine hero who was raised to be a warrior for the bad guys, had their mind messed up by an evil parental figure, rebelled to join the good guys and found sanctuary with a magical queen, had to unite a bunch of royals across the world, and conquers everything with the power of friendship x villain who was influenced by the same evil parental figure but found it much harder to break away, almost killed everyone on their world with their dramatic bullshit, tried to do One Good Thing without expecting any rewards, and is now throwing themselves into redemption while still being very spiky and tsundere about it?

Adora and Alear would be instant friends, while Catra and Rafal were side-eyeing each other dubiously and wondering who'd win in a fight. Nothing I like more than shaking fandoms together into weird crossover cocktails!
