People being upset that Joseph Quinn is going to be in MCU movies for at least another three years is so funny to me.

He’s THIRTY.

Harrison Ford was in Star Wars when he was 33, and he’s still acting! One of my favorite roles of his is in Shrinking which came out last year. He’s 82.

Joseph Quinn has LOTS OF TIME to find more projects, and after this he can do EVEN MORE passion projects because he’ll have that kind of power behind his name even more than he does now, which he already has a lot of!

SUPPORT ACTORS DOING PROJECTS THEY ENJOY.

And if that’s a blockbuster Gladiator movie even he didn’t think they could make a good sequel for at first, a short film or three movies in the biggest cinematic franchise in the world, everyone - him, the fans, the industry - only benefits!

I'm sorry, but I can't stand fanfics where Reader/MC gets jealous of the members, specially Chan centred fics, interactions and closeness with Stay. When i see that, I inmediatly stop reading. I understand it's all fiction and it doesn't mean the writers themselves are like that, but I'm sure there's people that would actually behave that way given the circumstances. And I find it stupid.

Maybe it's because I speak from a fan's perspective, but If I was a member's girlfriend, I wouldn't feel threatened by their fans. Skz x Stay is one of the most adorable, gorgeous bonds in the industry. If it was me, I'll support it wholeheartedly and maybe I'll openly agree that my boyfriend belongs to his fans first. I'll join the jokes, i'll tease him, etc.

When I read pieces where the member in question, mostly Bang Chan, stops interacting with Stays like that because his partner felt too insecure or even asked them to stop, it annoys me a lot. Because honey, if you're dating a celebrity, you should know they're not regular people, specially not Stray Kids. And if you feel threatened by random strangers flirting with your boyfriend, whom doesn't even know them in real life, then you're not ready for a relationship and you're gonna be jealous of whoever female talks to him.

I'm sorry for this stupid rant but I just found another work with that topic and I couldn't stand it. Everyone is free to write what they please. But I want to see more works where Reader is actually in good terms with Stay and enjoys the interactions too, instead of getting jealous and sad about it, and making Bang Chan stop it althoether.

Did something change? I thought brainrot referred to being obsessed with a thing to the point of only being able to think about that thing. Like "Man the Final Fantasy brainrot is real today" right? But now it seems to be a pejorative to refer to any Gen Alpha type humor?

Chat? Are we doing it again? The juvenoia? I was hoping not to actually.

I love how mqf's oficial description is something like: a good heart who wants to help others but then you read the novel and his reaction to lqg trapping ten infected men who are crying in panic is "great now I can start to work in my experiments with decomposed people to find a cure" and gets out a lot of needles, which makes the man cry even harder.

Even if we only get bits of the other Cang Qiong sect leader's we can reach the conclusion that no one there is normal, sqq is just biased.

The number of times I've tried to justify there being enough time in this episode somewhere for these two to recreate....

More Peacekeeper noodling here...

Also, this exchange is my basis for deciding that Sebaceans physically grow up a little more slowly than humans. At 14 she was considered ready to be a fighter pilot, but didn't get her final adult height growth spurt until at least 16, which is later than most human women with modern nutrition.

Since she's not a short woman, and pilots aren't known for being tall people, I assume she kept growing a bit after she reached the minimum height to go to Prowler Attack School. So in my head, 14 is more like 10/11 in human years and 16 more like 12/13. Many girls start their last big growth spurt at the end of grade school, others at the end of middle school, and that last spurt might not end for a few years. (Menstruation often cuts growth off, and I'm positive Peacekeepers wouldn't hesitate to hormonally control their children to help them grow taller). Aeryn must have been so frustrated at having to wait, but I think we can assume she did not look like a typical 16 year old at that age, but was just at that skinny coltish stage.

So add in a few more years to fill out, and that is the basis for my thinking that Sebaceans physically mature around 20-24, though they start adult work well before that. I also maintain that Aeryn is canonically almost 70 cycles, at this point, so clearly Sebacean aging slows way down at some point in their twenties (Claudia Black was in her mid/late 20s in this scene). I assume that they barely age for most of their life, but have periods when their system fails and they age more rapidly and then plateau again. (See Aeryn barely aging in The Locket from when John gets stranded with her.) Presumably Peacekeepers get rid of their soldiers who survive to their first large decline, rather than incur long term resource costs to support aging soldiers for a hundred years.

To me, an unspoken issue throughout John and Aeryn's relationship is that if they don't violently die together, he is going to age and she is going to stay young, and she will outlive him and likely any hybrid children. We'd need some sort of Diagnosan fix-it to get around that, but I don't know that it's even possible. They might be able to stave off John aging a decade or two, but probably not forever. Especially with all the shit that happens to him.

poor Liu Qingge is really going through it in the succubus extra, he just had to go and get a crush on the most oblivious man alive

"Younger than me... we had a rocky start... completely devoted.... often together.... saved each other..... peerless beauty..... outstanding talent.... noble blood.... totally in love with me...... Wow what a weird love fortune! Definitely doesn't match anyone in my life!" says Shen Qingqiu while actively sitting next to one of the two men it perfectly describes

One of the perks of being Pagan is that the only thing I have to worry about on Friday the 13th is how loud the motorcycles are going to be as they roar down my street on their way to Port Dover.

You know what I always think about? Percy is the classic funny boyfriend. He’s sarcastic and witty. Some of his jokes are sharp and clever, many are corny dad jokes. But nevertheless he’s hilarious. And yet, Rick rarely writes Annabeth laughing at his jokes. I feel like he thinks it’s empowering for Annabeth to just roll her eyes or scold him every time. But he’s funny asf!! Let his girlfriend think he’s funny!

There’s a scene in HoH where Percy makes Annabeth laugh when they’re climbing down a cliff, and she has to tell him to stop so she doesn’t fall to her death. Then in CotG, Percy says something and Annabeth smiles against her will, and it makes Percy so happy. Those scenes are rare, but so. damn. cute. That said, I wish Annabeth wasn’t always trying so hard not to laugh at his jokes. I want to see him be able to make her smile and laugh so easily that it’s not even fair to her. I mean, the guy can drop banger after banger—there’s so much opportunity.

If these new books are supposed to be lower stakes, give me percabeth laughter. Give me Percy cracking bad jokes and Annabeth bursting out laughing with no shame. Give me her cackling at his witty comment so hard that her abs hurt and tears fall from her eyes. Even though we know Percy is conventionally attractive, give me Grover making a joke that the reason Annabeth likes Percy so much is because she spends so much time with her eyes closed since she’s always laughing. I want people to think they’re kinda annoying. I want to see their friends giving them side eyes from across the table because Percy’s making Annabeth laugh so hard that it’s disrupting the whole room.

Annabeth’s reluctance to laugh made sense before they were dating and were bickering 24/7, when they didn’t want to show their true feelings. But that’s not the case anymore. And don’t get me wrong, it really frustrates me how Rick seems to be rapidly reducing Percy to simply being “the funny guy.” He’s stripping him of so many qualities and compensating with double the cheesy humor. But the worst part is that even when being funny is all Rick will allow him to be, Percy still doesn’t get to be the funny boyfriend. It’s as if he wants Annabeth to be too mature for her boyfriend’s bad humor. But if Percy is going to continue be diminished to the stupid, annoying guy who can’t take things seriously, the LEAST Rick can do is give him the ability to easily make his girlfriend laugh.

cursed construction core hi vis bra that came to me in a dream

In the dream I saw it in the window display of a hardware/DIY/trade shop, implying it was meant to be a practical garment designed for actual female constructions workers in a Female Armour level missed-the-brief attempt at gender inclusion

The practical support from the visible underwire combined with the hi vis implying it’s not meant to be worn as an undergarment, I just-

I blame my binge-reading ND Stevenson’s gender comics talking abt masculinity and femininity incl the one abt Victoria’s Secret lingerie yesterday for this monstrosity x’D
