him clutching his chest is how i fucking feel seeing this photo because F FUCKG. his arms are so. his arms are so strong and manly and i’m going absolutely feral over this.

i’m sorry i need this man. and his HANDS? his hands. they make me weak. the things those hands could do.

give me a later wwdits season when nandermo is canon and guillermo is getting a bit older and nandor worriedly rants to the others about what to do because. they’ve wasted so much time. his lifetime is so small compared to theirs, and nandor doesn’t think he’ll ever be ready to lose guillermo. the others echo the sentiment

so they go through a magical creature glossary trying to figure out what else guillermo can be turned into where he wouldn’t have to kill people so he could stay with them- his family- forever

I know everything's about to go horribly wrong - again - but I have to ask. After all their conversations in the dark, did the Darkling ever plan to let Kaz sleep in a different bed again, even after they got back? Or has he filed it under 'this is an intimacy I really like therefore will continue having regardless what Kaz wants' like on one hand I suspect the Darkling will value his own bedroom/comfort/privacy more, on the other I think there's a part of his brain that reallllllyyyy likes having him this close and intimate - like a real couple almost! - and thinks he can just keep that forever regardless of the whole enslavement-plan thing. Oops Kaz you don't get your own room ever again sorry. At least I got you some nice sea whip bracelets to make up for it?

Complicated question with a complicated answer, as most are with these two. The short answer is "the Darkling will never force Kaz into intimacy against his will because it is something he needs organically" but the long answer is....

....? yes ??? god, he's such a fucking trainwreck of a lover coasting by on "well TECHNICALLY" to continue being correct in his own mind no matter the circumstances.

Honestly, even in their current arrangements if Kaz one day was like "I don't want this anymore, I want to sleep in a bunk in a room with everyone else" or "i would rather sleep alone by myself on a life raft in the ocean" the Darkling would say "okay" and grumpily respect that. He's not forcing Kaz into their current arrangements, even if Kaz feels like he doesn't really have a choice.

The Darkling will continue making Kaz feel as though he doesn't have a choice with the knowledge that he's not doing anything wrong because Kaz does have a choice, the alternatives are just kind of worse or inconvenient or would make him look bad.

I feel like at this point it's not too much of a secret to say that things will not continue along their current trajectory because they just simply can't, no one would survive it and it would be a stagnant painful story to keep reading. but let's assume for a minute the status quo does not change in the next few chapters, Kaz has the sea whip, they go back to Os Alta.

The Darkling would work under the assumption that of course they would still be sharing a room, all of Kaz's things would be moved to the Darkling's wing of the little palace and they would continue on as though they were still a power couple in an established relationship. It would be up to Kaz to advocate for himself and say no, actually, I want to go back to my separate room.

Kaz would do that, because he's struggling but he's not struggling that hard. The Darkling will be very grumpy about it, but there's not a world where he doesn't let Kaz make that choice. He's also like...stupidly confident that Kaz will seek him out eventually and them regaining that level of intimacy is an inevitability.

Kaz, spending every single night alone unable to sleep with his own thoughts, might find that he misses having the Darkling as a conversation buddy more than he wants to admit. He might find himself wandering there more often than not. The Darkling might be willing to offer help to aid Kaz with his insomnia, but obviously that would be easier were they still sharing a room, would it not?

Kaz's will might hold out, it might not, he might say 'I'm just going this one time' so many times he doesn't realize they're unofficially sharing a room again anyway, or he might continue being uncomfortable and bored and sleepless just to continue being able to say he's made his own choice.

They have forever to figure out the ideal sleeping arrangements, after all.

(of course OUTSIDE of the current trajectory, things are different altogether. the darkling would probably say it all depends on kaz, and what he chooses and doesn't choose to do, and how much he can be trusted. is it smart for kaz to be left alone? is it safe? is he a danger to himself or others? obviously he can make his own decisions and he doesn't have to share a bed with me if he doesn't want to, but he can't be left unguarded otherwise and maybe a prison cell would be a better alternative? anyway kaz it's up to you, the way in which you want to live with the consequences of your own actions)

jacob elordi was born three days before me……. ik this really means nothing but i feel like i should do something w this information

[stevengrantshubby]

so im like 2 volumes behind but ive seen ppl say that ruby rose should have been a faunus, a wolf faunus specifically, but really i think oscar should have been like a dog faunus too.

along with more skin tone variation i think there should have been more "main" faunus characters so blake isnt mostly by herself. if i just look at the 1st three volumes, id pick nora also being a faunus (a goat faunus specifically cause thor had some goats pull his chariot) thatd be cute.

so really...ruby, blake, nora, and later oscar. if i had to pick without changing too much.

"diversity of thought" in the lgbt/black/insert minority here community

I literally hate this phrase.

I totally get the intention behind it. In online spaces, certain communities are assumed (key word: assumed) to be left-wing 9 times out of 10.

So because people only encounter one iteration of gayness/blackness/insert minority-ness online, they feel the need to demand proof that people with XYZ label are capable of thinking differently.

But that's exactly what drives me bonkers about it.

Why do black people, or gay people etc. have to prove to the outside world that we are a community that by default will include people with different opinions? Like, any time you get two humans together in a room, you have diversity of thought. Why does this need to be displayed to outsiders like some kind of circus act for you to believe it?

No one goes up to white people and ask them to "prove" that they think differently from one another. No one asks Christians to prove that they aren't all a hive mind.

Basically, communities that are respected in the mainstream don't have the frankly dehumanizing assumption applied to them that they MUST be a hive mind until proven otherwise.

I don't care what the fuck you saw online. Understanding that blacks, gays, etc. are humans should be enough to show that we think differently, that we are individuals.

I really hope that what I'm frustrated about here comes across clearly.

It just drives me crazy to see this, because the people doing it don't even realize the necessary step of dehumanization that they had to take in order to seriously believe some iteration of "XYZ people must all think the same unless I see direct evidence against it." like just stop you are dumb. Black people (just as an example of what I mean) don't need to prove to anyone that we aren't a monolith. We never were one, no matter how much Candace Owens insists that we're all trapped on some "democrat plantation" incapable of thinking past the next welfare handout together. Even if the next 10 black people that you spoke too all voted democrat, you STILL wouldn't have a hive mind, and diversity of thought would still be present, because that would have still been 10 individual black people with their own thoughts and worldviews. Consider that maybe she just tells you what you want to hear?

so so funny when people ask if I smoke weed and are shocked when I say no because apparently I "have that vibe" like yeah. it's just the hair

still thinking about that dream i had yesterday where a debuting group introduced one of their member's positions as 'new grotesque and clown'

[burinazar]

ohh I am worried my new meds (yes the ones that give me a funny eyebrow twitch. that mostly stopped now) actually are sort of working. “worried” bc my insurance doesn’t really cover them and the ones I’ve been taking are my psych handing me a full months’ worth of free samples

[dearmrsawyer]

Ok I started travelers because you said the ending wasn’t bad (I know you said it was good but Not Bad was my requirement for starting a show lol) and this show fucking slaps I think I need more tv show recommendations from you lol

omg djjdkfjkdf it really DOES slap doesn't it ITS SO GOOD. i'm so excited that you decided to give it a go!!!!! please return to share your feelings as you go on the journey, i would love to know

even tho i am pathologically hesitant to recommend things i would in actual fact LOVE to point people towards shows that i love and think have not gotten the cred they deserve!!! I guess let's start slow, if you're looking for something to watch after you're done with Travelers, i think Continuum was a REALLY cool scifi show which i would die for. It's similar to Travelers in that it has futuristic technology in present day (present day being 2012 when it was released lol), it's about a police woman in the future who follows a group of terrorists back in time to present day to stop them from changing history. It's also similar in that there are points in the show where you're like 'who is actually in the right here' which i LOVE. It ran for 4 seasons and ended on its own terms so it has a proper ending, which you will appreciate lol. I think that you can watch it on Prime if you're in the US? But i would also support accessing it by uhh alternative means 😎

I know we all make mistakes, but there's actually a large difference between snapping at your loved ones when you're having a bad day and saying the most abusive, fucked up, gaslighting shit to your kids and then forget about it like it's a normal saturday night, and i honestly don't think it's a mistake that a person can "casually" make?

you can't pretend all faults are on the same level in terms of its difficulty to commit and its severity, as if you can tell a dictator "it's okay we all make mistakes :) it's very easy to call for the death of a million people and actually going through with it!" like yes, we can all try to be a better person and everyone deserves a chance to redemption, but acting like all wrongdoings are of the same level and telling people who were abused by their parents that they will make the same mistake as their parents?? it happens on some abused people, yes, but this take seriously lacks nuance and compassion like a piece of white bread lacks spice

parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day
