Hi ! You're the reason I watched Power Play to begin with, I've been watching your content for a while and I'm really happy to see you here on Tumblr too !

Now I'm going to ask you the same question I did Jess : what was your favourite quote/moment as Tom in Power Play ? (From what we have seen so far obviously to avoid spoilers)

Ooh... definitely in the latest episode interacting with Captain Kraken. I really like their dynamic.

Also, pickpocketing the keycard and going off to gush over the tank? That was some FUN roleplay!

Okay but do you think the people who were really close to odysseus during the Trojan war had a running bet for when odysseus claimed to have a vision from Athena if it was true or not? Because half the time he was just lying about that.

funniest possible time for dai to join the gaang is of course, before they meet jet. because jet would have a brand new reason to be annoyed at zuko's general existence. he wouldn't even have to learn he was a firebender. oh, you're the prince of the earth kingdom? so glad you finally decided to come out from behind those walls to mingle with the rest of us common folk.

but oh boy.

if jet learned a member of the earth kingdom's royal family was a firebender? can you even imagine? no wonder you sided with the fire nation. and no wonder jet gets arrested by the dai li. he attacks dai the first time he sees him on the streets of ba sing se. shouts that he's a firebender, only to end up dragged off by the dai li.

(the gaang arrive just in time to see the end of the fight, and jet get taken away. first off. was that jet? second off. jet just got hauled off by the dai li. this is terrible! they need to rescue him before they do something weird to his brain like whatever they did to joo dee!

dai is just. what? no, he'll be fine. they're just going to have him cool down in a cell for awhile, probably. and toph just gives him this odd look because she's pretty sure he's lying. in fact, she's had a feeling that there's something dai hasn't been telling them ever since they arrived in ba sing se.

cough it up prince sparky. what's really going on here?)

It's just... odd to me, I suppose, going from "what is in my pants is completely irrelevant to most anybody else's life" to the expectation that you must be completely open, essentially, about what is in your pants.

I think a lot of people understand the general idea of why it's bad decorum to demand people offer explanations for private information like this, but they don't analyze exactly why it's bad besides, "asking directly is just rude" and not "asking in any way still enforces the often violent nature of gender and sex, and putting people in the 'right box' is a part of that violence."

It's especially odd when seeing other trans people enforcing the idea that "what's in your pants?" is a genuine, good-faith basis for interacting with others.

perisex trans people when something isn't about them:

[bedforddanes75]

fucking crying at swifties posting her lyrics and talking about "shes such a poet" "this clears _" and i read them and its like. "i killed your mother but shes always gonna be mom like bomb because youre bombs to my heart" or something Like please you arent helping yourselves

[brittlebutch]

actually it's kind of funny how people will say Alex's fatal flaw is that he 'doesn't ask for help' and that it's his determination to handle things on his own that leads to his deterioration and eventual death when his whole introduction to the present-day timeline was a very literal cry for help that simply went ignored

If the people are sending little guy images to give you a bit of serotonin I'll contribute

Kitties upon ye 🖤

Tibby!!!! yayyy

[wewontbesleeping]

it's so funny seeing taylor swift haters mad that she ended up on their wrapped and that they're #exposed for being a secret fan if they post it. because well. there's only one way that happens, baby...

[zhoudadudugongjin]

Look I'm gonna be brutally honest. If Imperial Uncle Liu came at me with that adorable hat and those big brown eyes and threatening tone I would be dead. I would be a collapsed sandcastle on the floor with a little cocktail flag sticking out of me saying "do not resuscitate"

[tea-and-secrets]

Huh. I'm really curious if the autocannibalism thing is more common than I'd thought, or if this blog is just popular in certain circles. Would you be willing to do a poll about that? Something like:

If you have something to do with (auto)cannibalism, how did you find this blog?

Saw someone else asking about the topic

Saw a reblog from someone in related circles

Just happened to come across it

I'm not involved in that

I expect option 4 would sweep, so you could see raw vote counts at https://glittering.world/poll-grabber

i'm not limiting the poll to cannibalism, because i'm generally curious and the results will speak for themselves!! ^_^ ("related tags" will prob correlate with interest groups)

Wickham's lies and half-lies to Elizabeth are aggravating on one level, but ngl, the initial conversation between them is pretty funny in other ways.

At first, Wickham doesn't say much that Elizabeth doesn't already know, then just asks, "Are you much acquainted with Mr Darcy?" It's Elizabeth who jumps feet-first into venting about Darcy to this perfect stranger.

Then, after Wickham's tale of his woes at Darcy's hands, she is 100% onboard:

“This is quite shocking! He deserves to be publicly disgraced.” “Some time or other he will be—but it shall not be by me. Till I can forget his father, I can never defy or expose him.” Elizabeth honoured him for such feelings, and thought him handsomer than ever as he expressed them.

&

Elizabeth was again deep in thought, and after a time exclaimed, “To treat in such a manner the godson, the friend, the favourite of his father!” She could have added, “A young man, too, like you, whose very countenance may vouch for your being amiable.”

With Jane afterwards:

“I can much more easily believe Mr Bingley’s being imposed on than that Mr Wickham should invent such a history of himself as he gave me last night; names, facts, everything mentioned without ceremony. If it be not so, let Mr Darcy contradict it. Besides, there was truth in his looks.” “It is difficult, indeed—it is distressing. One does not know what to think.” “I beg your pardon;—one knows exactly what to think.”

It's funnier, ngl, because she's someone who will tell a slight acquaintance, "I understand you perfectly" with an absolutely incredible degree of assurance about her ability to judge character and then she turns around and has this conversation with Wickham that's just ... lol what.

It's also, obviously, awful and frustrating that he's going around misleading young women, lying about his own victims, etc etc. And Elizabeth is so eager to accommodate Wickham's dubious tale-telling that she becomes ethically compromised in her own way, as I've talked about before. And that can be frustrating as well!

But. The scene is funny, too.

the amount of effort that goes into figuring out what to cook and eat every day is RIDICULOUS. i used to think people were so weird and boring for eating the same thing every single day but it truly does make life so much easier

💊 Hi fellow disabled self shippers 💊

My spoons are a bit low and if yours are too, imagine your f/o being there by your side. They will help you take care of yourself and help you save some energy. They notice if you need water and bring it to you. Their gestures show care, but no pity. They just see you have a worse day and they want to take some weight off your shoulders.

They would make dinner for you (are they a great cook? or are you a bit worried if your kitchen can survive it?) and they would gladly eat it with you. They will spend this day beside you, they want to be there for you, during your highs and lows. Afterwards they remind you to take your meds and help you get to bed. If you want to, they will take a nap with you.

Prosh//ippers plz do not interact PLZ
