I believe Taylor is going to "roll the stone away" very soon and she told us exactly when she will be doing it...

Of course, as we know this line of hers in guilty as sin is in reference to the death and rebirth of jesus as the song explores religious trauma.

However, she is absolutely using this in the context of herself emerging anew via coming out and she is playing off of "The old Taylor cant come to the phone right now, 'cause she's dead" which connects with the recent suspicious phone call stunt with Sabrina.

But something I've been following is how TTPD has been directly linked to 8/3 ✌ as in 832 or any order of said 3 numbers. Pre- TTPD for promotion posts, Taylor Nation kept tweeting at 2:38 and 3:28 to the point it became clear that it was intentional. 8/3 of course flags Karlie's birthday but the addition of the 2 was new. This stuck with me.

Well exactly 238 days after TTPD/Guilty As Sin released is Taylor's birthday!! (April 19th-December 13th). In which I have believed for some time will be her coming out.

But that day gap wasn't enough on its own, I needed clear proof that this actually was connected to Guilty As Sin.

And so knowing how Taylor has used 8/3 related timestamps in the past to hide clues in her songs like 3:08, 1:38, etc, I knew I needed to check the 2:38 timestamp in Guilty As Sin...

And I kid you not.... if you go check, as soon as the time ticks 2:38 she starts singing "what if I roll the stone away"... This left me floored because I honestly thought I was just clowning but there is no way that's a coincidence!

Now I am certain this is exactly what she wanted us to find. She's rolling the stone away 238 days after she released the song that gave us that lyric in the first place. I have no doubt she will be free come her 35th 🌈

P.S. - Easter is the day that celebrates the resurrection where the stone was rolled away. and from March 31st 2024 (Easter Sunday) to Taylor's birthday December 13th 2024...

It is exactly 8 months 13 days. Prepare for the Kaylor Renaissance, for she is upon us 💋

"what if I roll the stone away"...

She's rolling the stone away 238 days after she released the song that gave us that lyric in the first place. I have no doubt she will be free come her 35th 🌈

when ppl get too caught up in the accuracy of situations in fanfiction or if things are super realistic or as they should/would be in real life etc etc im like. my tumblr user in christ. it's fanfiction.

[thatimageoftomscott]

I need to know how people get all this lore. Like the whole 2002 DDR thing. Sharing is caring pookies

for starters, he mentions the ddr thing himself on the old mad capn tom campaign website (x). this is from the afforementioned 2010 elections and he also mentions it on video form on a now privated mad capn tom political ad that used to be on his main channel. this video still exists somewhere, just not on yt. admittedly i dont have a source that isnt tom himself mentioning it or people who have been researching this mans life for far longer than i talking about it. i dont know where that 2002 photo is from and i have not been able to find any sort of official site for the championship (but then again that was more than 20 years ago so who knows what might have happened to it). surely someone here knows tho and they might even reply to this ask with more info sooner or later !!

generally speaking if you stalk the right people and get in contact with the kind of folks who spend their free time archiving tom sc*tts entire career you will learn a lot of things. luckily for you they are here on tumblr dot com and they are more than willing to share. but also i cannot understate how many hours ive spent studying that man ever since i got obsessed with him. its bad. im suffering academically. help me.

is your Jason V Dc authors posting accounting for Winick wanting really badly for Jason to be Bi

I don't exactly keep track of comics writers that much, but the post was specifically about Scott Lobdell unnamed writers who are trying really really hard to make sure everyone knows that Jason Todd Is Very Straight And Desirable To Sexy Ladies (Who Can Maybe Be Bi Ladies Because Hot Girls Kissing Is Hot).

Judd Winick clearly wants Jason to touch the penises of other men, including Batman's penis. I don't think he's suicidal and/or subscribes to the Black Hole Penis theory, so naw, he's good.

Here, it's also made of chocolate *hands you some brigadeiro* it's a party treat, my favorite one also 😌

Thank you!

[ He takes it eagerly ]

Hehe, everyone’s feeding me so much! I’m very thankful…!

Chocolate… is that what you call this sweet? I love it!

 I wish I could’ve shown it to my siblings… Assaracus loved sweet things. When I was little, he used to sneak me out with him in the night to pick and eat figs together under Lady Selene’s light, hehe. We got caught often, but I never got in trouble for it, since I was the younger of us. He’d make me carry and hide the figs, and the next day in the morning we’d share them with Ilus, Cleopatra and Cleomestra. 

Haha… I miss them. I wonder what sort of lives they led.

[percabeth4life]

how are you feeling about chalice of the gods? so far im up to the bit where ganymede is introduced and its feeling very questionably accurate. and i dont even KNOW any ganymede myths

I actually don't have a copy yet, I decided if I was forced to read it I would at least have the pretty copy from the UK. So a friend is sending it to me, I should be receiving it soon...

However, just because I haven't read it doesn't mean I haven't seen spoilers- I can't imagine I'll enjoy it once when the very premise is something I hate. It builds off of nonsense, the reasoning for the quest is idiotic and biased, and Rick continues to showcase the Gods as needlessly cruel while simultaneously doing nothing about it! It's not cute to show them as so horrible and then go "lol anyways-". Make them change or put a war against them at this point, his writing is just- ignoring all the demigods fought for!

Oh, and it totally fucks up the myths.

OK SORRY GOING OFF OF THAT LAST MESSAGE-

PAUL ARON X POPSTAR!Y/N

LETS SAY SHE SHE WROTE SO AMERICAN BY OLIVIA RODRIGO ABOUT HIMMMM AND SHE FINALLY ADDS IT TO THE SETLIST THE FIRST NIGHT HE WATCHES HER TOUR LIVE?!?! AND AND HES IN THE VIP TENT AND ALL THEYRE FRIENDS ARE LIKE TEASING HIM/ALL THE FANS TOO POINTING AT HIM AND EVERYTHING WHEN IT GETS TO THE CHORUS OF "HE 🫵laughs at all my jokes and HE 🫵says im so american" AND Y/N POINTING AT HIM TOO/LAUGHING AT HIS FACE !! AND HES JUST THERE ALL BLUSHY AND GIGGLY AND CANT STOP SMILING AHHHHDVHWGEUEHE

i cannot handle this i love that song istg!!! jack write a fic ab this PLEASE I LITERALLY BEG OF U🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️

-🧸

also omg can u tell im a music kid🌚 i relate so many songs to paul and send a lot of them to u its concerning now LMAOOO am i gonna stop tho? no🫶🏼

okay so. 1. i loooved the last ask, i got another request for paul x popstar!yn so im gonna mix those two up i think ���

2. i LOVE this idea too?? omfg?????? i dont think i can fit it into the same blurb but i definitely will write this too aaaaaa 🥰 the thought of paul not knowing what to do... just like "!! you all know its about me?!?"..... because i feel like a main point in this au is paul feeling a bit unsure of how he acts when he's in "her" world? sure, he's used to having teenage girls yelling his name and cheering him on, but these squealing little fans that go to y/n's shows who are interested in him just because of his girlfriend? very new situation for him.... and god yn loves taking advantage of the fact that he's a bit uncomfortable in these situations. like, pointing at him during the lyrics you wrote about, but also keeping eye contact with him through the entire chorus.... AND POSSIBLY winking at him after "oh god i'm gonna marry him if he keeps this shit up" just to see his eyes widen instantly and that cute blush spread across his cheeks 😭 (and hearing all fans SCREAM at that, oh my god)

3. im sorry that im apparently living under a rock when it comes to pop culture these days because when i saw the tiktok u linked i was like. louis huh. no way this is THAT louis?!?!?!?!!!! so uh yeah i didn't know about them 🫠 but omfg they're so cute... and ofc i had to look for more pics & tiktoks of them and goD they're so paul & yn!! like i saw the vids of his reactions to "so american".... and olivia sending flying kisses while singing it..... and just paparazzi pics of them together....... okay i cant do edits of pics but i think you get the vision??:

likeeeee again he's used to fans waiting by the track to take pics with him, or being tagged in thousands of vids of his car in races... but having paparazzi wait outside yns apartment door when he's stayed the night etc? or being followed around when out on a date?? god he has to try so hard to act normal (flustered paul is so cute istg 😭)

so uh yeah these asks have definitely brought up my motivation to write this like a lot 🥰

4. i can tell hehe i am one too!!!! or at least used to be 💔 but god its not concerning, i think it's just good 🥰 esp when you send them to me 🥰 so pls pls never stop 🙏

I’m curious about the medicine Atlas is giving Tails 👀 What is it for ???

In case this can help for reference, inspiration or something:

I take a strong medicine that makes me feel dizzy and makes me act silly. ( It’s prescribed don’t worry ). I don’t take it everyday, only for emergencies, but I can say, the feeling is pretty weird. When I take it I need someone to be with me because it makes me disoriented and sleepy, walking feels weird, and the body feels weak. One time a friend told me she thought I was drunk before someone explained her why I was acting weird.

Here are some of the secondary effects:

Difficulty thinking and remembering

Drowsiness

Loss of balance and coordination

Blurry vision

Everything feels like a dream.

I usually don’t remember everything that happens after I take the medicine, that’s why I hate it.

Do what you want with this information 😇

the really cool answer to that question is i have no clue lmao. tails doesn’t know and since you’re following his pov, you don’t know either. that’s my 10/10 excuse

i like to think that he’s just giving him benadryl because, when trying to describe how he’s feeling, i just think back on however i feel when i’ve woken up after taking that shit while sick

(also because the idea of atlas walking up to a pharmacy and buying a shit ton of boxes of benadryl every few weeks is very funny to me for some reason)

but yea, all the effects you described are pretty much what tails is experiencing (except he does remember everything that happens, it’s just a little wonky)

Hi sorry for politics question but why is libertarianism considered bad? Like I thought it was about equality and sharing power in opposition to hierarchical authoritarianism but based on how you talk about it I’m likely super wrong about it?? Ty!!

I assume you're talking about this post.

Disclaimer: I don’t have a lot of experience with political theory or political history, so I can’t explain how libertarianism got from what it originated as to the modern American party that calls itself the Libertarian Party.

What I can tell you is that libertarianism as it’s used in modern America refers to the party with a right-aligned libertarian philosophy that prizes free-market capitalism. A lot of libertarians tend to refer to themselves “socially liberal” but “fiscally conservative,” which is to say that they don’t think governments should regulate industry but are generally pro-gay rights and pro-legalizing weed and other drugs.

There is, of course, a distinction between the libertarian party and people who identify as libertarian but aren’t a part of the party for various reasons, and left-aligned libertarians certainly do still exist in America. (Extremist right-aligned libertarians also exist—many constitutional militias are composed of extremist right-aligned libertarians.) But “libertarian” as it’s used in the American common discourse (and as I used it) still tends to refer to supporters of the Libertarian Party.

tldr; Kalvaxus thinks that taxation is theft and he should be allowed to burn towns get money without the government trying to stop him, but also thinks that being gay is fine, probably.

Adding on to the debate but- speaking as someone who has multiple family members with Ph.Ds in Abrahamic Religions. Neither Satan being a former Archangel nor him being God's favorite are biblically accurate. Both are modern day misconceptions that actually contradict the Bible. Which says that Satan was originally a cherubim tasked with watching over Eden. Upon ascending (or descending?) to the role of the Devil, he becomes as powerful as the Capital-A Archangels. But he didn't start out that way.

You mentioned Abeke's mom is named Ikenne- what does that mean? Also, did Chinwe name Irtike after her?

(Context: In the universe of my rewrite, Ikenne and Chinwe are sisters, making Abeke and Irtike cousins.)

I'm glad you asked! Ikenne (pronounced ee-keh-ney) is an Igbo name meaning "mother's strength" or "mother's power". It's not to be confused with the name Ikenna, which is the more popular male version and means "father's strength". Ikenne's name honours her mother, Abeke's grandmother. When she had children of her own, it took on a new meaning.

I had to think long and hard about a name for Abeke's mother. I wanted it to be Igbo like Chinwe's, have some meaning behind it and flow well with the names of her husband and daughters. I'm pretty happy with what I chose.

The meaning of Ikenne's name may seem ironic, given that sickness took her far too early. But she had a powerful influence on her youngest daughter, Abeke, and raised her to be a kind, honest person in the time that she had. Her physical body may not have been strong, but her spirit and her love for her children was, as is the memory of her that lives on in Abeke's heart.

Chinwe didn't name Irtike after Ikenne, no. If she had, she would have called her Ikenne or Nwannenne, which means "mother's sister". They just happen to both have I names.

The smut peddler has brought in a new book, it is titled The Legend of Jizzt Dong'Urden: the Diphallic Drow

❛[ UNPROMPTED ASKS ≻ always accepting

OMELUUM WAS NOT THE TYPE TO TURN DOWN A BOOK OFFERED. Elongated digits flipped through the pages, scanning the words written on the parchment. Embarrassment nor upset occurred for the illithid as it realized the intent of the novel // FOR IT HAD ENCOUNTERED THEM PRIOR (AND HAD SOME AID FROM OTHERS WITHIN THE SOCIETY TO UNDERSTAND THEIR PURPOSES). While such.... creative writing may provide a further insight into the manner of which others worked, it did doubt how much of the books content relied on any form of fact. “&– - I appreciate the gift. While I am uncertain how much use I may receive from this in compared to another, the study of it in regards to how others minds work may prove possible. Though I am curious about the reason of using the likeliness of such a notable figure but changing it all the same- is this an appeal to others?”

[loriache]

your kabru meta is sooooo good thx for sharing

omg, thank you <3333333 !

this made me so happy to receive. i'm sooooo glad people like it!! I've been reading the tags and nodding thoughtfully. there's a great little community of Kabru philosophers on tumblr, I'm noticing. he's the people's princess. as he deserves.

he's just so crunchy to me. his motives are well realised and complex, and he's both deeply moral and altruistic, insincere and an incredibly skilled manipulator, saviour complex, othered since childhood, genuine love for mankind and kindness even when it doesn't serve him .... pragmatic to the point of totally sublimating his own desires, but still cares for others.... a ruthless killer........ ohhh it's like he was made in a lab for me actually i'm realising as i'm typing this out. like he fits the mold. allen walker from d.gray-man is the same type and he also made me ill back in the day. still does tbh. i just didn't realise because they're usually white haired anime boys - and he is so much better because he isn't one!!!

dungeon meshi as a whole, particularly the characters, definitely kabru, have got a hold on me such that i'm actually writing my thoughts up and sharing rather than .. or more accurately, as well as .. endlessly ranting at my friends and family about them. There's just so many intricate parts and it fits together so well! such a beautifully constructed manga.... I haven't had this much fun since I was writing my dissertation for my masters. well actually idk if i would call that fun lmao. this is definitely fun!! There Will Be More. you can count on it. and more art too.

Anyway thank YOU for reading my meta and enjoying it and coming to tell me so, you're the best and you made my day. MWAH

[cto10121]

Misandry isn't real.

Nice to know, anon. Thank you so much for telling me. Also, apropos to nothing, if you happen to stumble across any radfems, TERFs, or, I don’t know, a place where the people practice night love and the men mysteriously do nothing of value except raise their nephews and nieces…just don’t think about it too much. Everything is fine. Keep calm and carry on. You are loved and important.

Thoughts on Polnareff being the only one who was not told Avdol was alive during the Judgement arc? It felt so unnecessarily cruel... I don't think Pol is terrible at keeping secrets at all... also he was nearly killed because an enemy used his guilt against him! Pol is a very reliable person even if he's silly and goofy at times.

And worse, they were treating Pol like he was overreacting when he was actually upset (justifiably!) for them keeping it a secret from him.

I think those eps and the Death 13 arc are my least favourite arcs

Pol being assumed as an utter idiot is like me assuming Hol is 100% straight :0

I've come to like the Cameo episode lesser now, due to the forced sympathy it tried to put in for Polnareff's character. Avdol's death was also pretty poorly planned and added to the forced feelings it tried to insinuate from Polnareff's guilt is...fucking cheap.

I don't mind Avdol's character, he's fun at times (especially when he was with Joseph), in the OVA he's very badass alongside Jotaro...but if he had to fake a death, I'd prefer many other ways than this. That's why when Avdol was confirmed dead in the Vanilla Ice arc, and Polnareff being confused by it, is, to me, a way better scene than the whole Cameo arc.

It's just a very unnecessary and cheap plot, which did reduce Polnareff's character to only being an idiot who cannot keep his mouth shut (and you're right, he can keep secrets, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hide himself from SPW and Jotaro after his confrontation with Diavolo), or move on from something he already should.

I even had to downplay Hol Horse's character and ability to control his bullets to him not wanting to kill anyone to explain Avdol's fake death. It's just so unnecessary. Avdol should be kept around up until his real death with Vanilla. His Stand is pretty powerful but rather underutilized, and this fake death is one of the reasons why.

If Hol is the Yuya of SDC, Avdol is probably Okuyasu.

Same goes for the fake Sherry. That one sailed when J. Geil died, and given Polnareff's sense of nobility, he shouldn't have been grieving her death at that point of the story.

But take my view on this with a grain of salt. I analyse these the same way I analyse a horror movie, so if I find it instilled with something to force me into a quick emotional roller coaster, I will say it's bad. And it often is.

As for Death 13 arc, it's actually alright. One, it showcased Kakyoin's intelligence, which paved the way to his way of thinking before his demise in Dio's hands. Two, it's literally Freddy Krueger. And I am, biasedly, a huge fan of Nightmare on Elm Street. I just wished its a bit more consistent with Mannish Boy, because he's like a dhampir or something, probably didn't age for so long (I'm thinking he's probably of teen age but because of his vampirism, he stayed as a baby) and there's so much potential to connect him properly with Dio.

What’s while you were sleeping? I can’t find it on your ao3 but as someone who recently made New York subways a personality trait, I’m intrigued

Hi honey thanks for your interest! Unfortunately while you were sleeping is still a wip (that i was procrastinating working on by making those covers haha) and so it's not up there yet. I like to have stuff like 75% written before I start posting, but of course i need constant attention to motivate me to write, so i incessantly vague blog about all my wips sorry to get your hopes up

That particular wip is actually a while you were sleeping au of the untamed set partially on the Manhattan-Queens F train! It is possibly the most distant au i've ever written (even more than the load out if you can believe that) and is a project that came out of absolutely nowhere and blindsided me by being like 40k long. help. I hope that's the sort of thing that sounds fun to you?
