I had two epiphanies today during a discord call with friends:

1. I have been pronouncing “passerine” wrong for a full year without realizing.

2. My friend who writes freaking incredible fanfics doesn’t… edit… at… all??

STUDIO TRIGGER????? YOU DID THIS FOR US?

[notbecauseofvictories]

I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"

Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.

............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.

so i looked up “the eye” on tiktok to see if the intro was there and found this:

BOOKS ARRANGED IN MORSE CODE???

assuming black books are dashes and white books are dots, this is what it says,

STUDIO LAN DOES NOT FUCK AROUND WITH SYMBOLISM AND THE BOOKS ARE BEHIND LIU XIAO THIS MEANS SOMETHING

whoever spotted this first is a genius fr

if i had a nickel for every time i watched something with a main character in high school who's torn between what society expects of him and what his heart is telling him

who's in a love triangle with a character he has a genuine connection with and who shares his passions

and a character who doesn't really understand him and has feelings for him that he can't return

and during summer break becomes too preoccupied with character B due to societal pressures

causing him to act unlike himself

and neglect character A

i'd have two nickels. which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

Every now and again I get reminded that the normal amount of daily pain is zero, and that still blows my mind every time... You have days without pain????

when i was brainstorming this fundraiser my absolute most optimistic, pie-in-the-sky dream was to break a thousand dollars raised. i thought probably i'd manage to raise five or six hundred bucks. but i just donated almost TWO THOUSAND dollars to trans continental pipeline!!! i honestly can't believe it! thank you ALL for the sticker purchases, likes, and reblogs - this is all YOU GUYS!!! i know the future is uncertain and scary, but hopefully we've just helped to make it a little less scary and a little less difficult for someone (or many someones) who need the help that TCP offers.

there's also still time to buy a sticker if you want to help break that $2k mark!! i'll still be donating all money made off the remaining sticker stock to TCP as they sell <3

Homesick Pierrot Lunaire 11 colors I wonder if Blacephalon feels the most homesick by looking at the Luna Park or the fireworks. Could it be the distant Moon, or the stars above, instead? I wish you all a happy new year!

she wants to fuck that media liaison so bad it makes her look stupid

[mega-banette]

anyway i think the funniest way to hc teru as trans is to have him not know that there are trans people other than him. he woke up one day when he was 11 and was like oh of course i can be a boy i am the main character and most special person and then he just attacked anyone who said he couldn’t with his psychic powers.

I feel like people don't often fully appreciate how hard dating can be for demisexuals.

It just hit me the other day when I found out that most people are kissing by the first date and having sex by the third and to me that is just wild. And apparently, some people wait up to three months before having sex and that's seen as like a really long time and I'm sorry but is everyone okay???

After three dates a person is still a stranger and after three months they're at most an acquaintance - and people are not willing to wait longer and you'll be seen as unreasonable if you want to wait for a year or more??

I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THIS SEQUENCE Zoro looks so concerned
