Just imagine Sebastian's next contract. Some adult contractee might be like, "Demon, I want something sweet," and Sebastian would ask, "Did you finish your vegetables?"

I still think about that one anon from years and years ago who said that a set of fans from Brazil have a separate group chat where they discuss and talk about all of the posts here and I've never been so flattered and touched in my life. Truly the sweetest people ever. 🥺❤️🇧🇷

I genuinely believe we are approaching the end of the American Republic, and probably our worldwide empire. But I'm actually not that concerned. If history has anything to teach us its that civilizations rise and fall, and through it all humans survive, and continue to live, love and find moments of enjoyment.

The only thing that truly scares me for the future is the prospect of nuclear war. Because that would be the end of not just our civilization, but of our species.

Why do I feel like LOA and Nesta would have a great mother-daughter relationship if they got to know each other

it's kinda of strange being an adult like

what do you call this thing where personally you're doing fine ...but then there's news about your estranged family where there's just a barrage of bad news (i.e. getting severely sick, deaths, etc) happening consecutively plus like the world is literally eating itself alive

like...what are you supposed to feel about all this? is being an adult really just...trudging forward and just living your life with all of this happening in the background? I have no power beyond the choices I can make at the moment and sometimes it feels like it does nothing at all

Crazy to think a 13 year old Magdalena Eriksson watched Chelsea men play Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the champions league and now 16 years later she's gonna captain Chelsea women in a champions league semi final against Barcelona at the Camp Nou

The parallel of Brian being so viscerally upset at and trying to prevent Justin working for Sapperstein at Babylon versus seeing him in that same position in 1x05 makes so much sense. He knows guys who are exactly like that who will give you something in return for sexual favours.

We have a glimpse of it in 1x05 with the awful sleazy guy who is married with children and doesn't even go home when he hears his daughters been in an accident and is asking for him, which ultimately results in Brian telling him to fuck off and makes sure he goes home to his family. But even though technically Brian was doing the same as Justin trying to make money and willing to go along with it and has probably done it before, he is much older and more jaded than Justin and absolutely does not want that path for him.

Seeing him trying so hard and so many different ways to subtly help instead eg offering to buy his artwork for $5000, suggesting he loan Justin the money several times (even though realistically he knows he won't ever get the full amount or any of it back), even telling Justin he knows how he got to dance on the bar.

He was so protective of him in so many different ways so quickly throughout the show (literally in the pilot episode and his first time!) trying to help him navigate his new queer experience and he really did help mould him into the best homosexual he could possibly be huh.

Hm. How would Devil Jin look with pointed ears?

One thing about BG3 I've noticed is folks are putting a lot of faith in certain deities of the D&D pantheons and, like, you need to go back to your JRPG roots. Not saying we should KILL Mystra (again) bc sadly magic IS tied to her, even Shar's, but like deities are not infallible also while alignments were largely done away with she is still technically lawful neutral. She isn't aligned with the "good" spectrum she is aligned with the Mystra spectrum lol. So, yeah.

Gods never have the best interests of mortals in mind. Ever. Not even the "good" aligned ones because they all have their own agendas and ideals, too. Mortals will always and forever be nothing but means to an end for the gods.

Working on 'Shuffling the Playlist' right now but in the back of my mind, I want to work on 'Little One' again but like I'm debating on scrapping it and starting over some scratch.

But the thing is, while it might be the best thing to do, I hate all the effort I had put into the story to be throw away. Maybe I could save some bits of it and rework it?

Like what did I want to do with the story in a whole?

But just having the whole story posted out there for years only to remove it for scraps go against every fiber of my being. Like what if I never get back to it and ruin someone's enjoyment of it....maybe?

How do you guys feel about the term "bisexual lesbian?" I'm technically bi, but I've identified with being a lesbian for so long that it feels like a part of myself. Also, me liking a guy is more of an exception than a rule tbh (I've only liked one guy if you don't count fictional characters lmao). I know a lot of people dislike the term for valid reasons, so I don't use it, I'm just wondering what everyone's opinion is on it and if anyone else feels the same way about their sexuality.

I like how all the ancient greek poets were just like "holla at ya boi" to the muses

Ginny: People think Harry is the Heir of Slytherin because he speaks Parseltongue.

Diary Tom Riddle: Give me a list of all the people he has a reason to dislike. This is going to be hilarious.

Very interesting how defensive Cyclonus is about being understood. He doesn't tell people how he feels and now we see he doesn't like it when they put it together on their own.

Could be because Nightbeat is a stranger. I'm not sure how I'd take being analyzed like that (mostly because it's never happened.)

But perhaps Cyclonus doesn't want to be understood or to understand others. Perhaps he seeks a silent acceptance from those he cares about; to exist in each other's presence is enough.

I love Nightbeat

While he struggles to connect with others on an emotional level, he’s insanely good at identifying what makes people tick.

He’s like Rung, but more detached.

No wonder they connected in Lost Light…
