To all the Republicans in office kowtowing to Trump's Cult, remember that "I was just following orders" was insufficient reason to save the last group of Nazi scum, and it won't save you either.

Authoritarian and fascist regimes always fall, because the people will only comply for so long, and there are way more of us than there are of you. You will not be in power forever, and protecting the people who aim to subdue and control the population will not protect you in the end.

So, continue to cower. Continue to cave. Continue to show the world the cowards you are. We will remember what you've done, and history will not be kind to you.

I don’t ship them, but I have to say, the dallypop dynamic is kind of fascinating.

Dallas, all teeth and sharp angles, spitting vengeance against the world. Soda, tough as a rawhide whip but twice as gentle. Dally, sneering in the dark, and Soda, smiling in the sun. Dally, fierce and proud and loyal to a fault, beaten by life until the blood runs down his chin, grinning with red teeth, the smile of the damned. Soda, the most beautiful little thing the world’s ever seen, with soft hair and gentle eyes, drunk on life, drunk on happiness, fireworks and electricity and a voice that sucks the poison from your soul and leaves only goodness. Dally, cruel, violent, desperate. Soda, kind, sensitive, achingly hopeful.

They say opposites attract. I say that Soda is a candle, and Dally the moth; sightless in the dark and desperate for warmth, careening toward the blinding light until he’s too close and his wings catch fire.

They say opposites attract. I say that Dally is dynamite and Soda the fuse; a spark drawn inevitably towards a weapon he’ll enable and an explosion that will destroy him.

They say opposites attract.

I say opposites consume.

Either way—a candle, an explosion, the sun on your face or the heat of a gun—they’re fire, and they burn so bright, the world burns with them.

leafs core they could never make me hate you. no one ever chooses toronto and yet time and time again our core have done just that. jt leaving long island to come home. mo signing a smaller contract to stay. auston saying i don’t know why you guys were so worried it’s not like i was ever going to leave. mitch still loving this city despite the vitriol that’s been thrown at him. willy saying this is my home this is the only place i want to be the only place i want to win. toronto is hungry and toronto is demanding and toronto is stubborn and toronto has scared off so many who have tried to love it and yet this core is still here. they love it here. in spite of it all? or because of it.

i know we talk a lot about how close the doctor was to giving in after the satan pit but i’ve also seen people say it’s good that the doctor never had to see rose age and like. not only does that fundamentally mischaracterise the doctor’s actual reaction to sarah jane in school reunion and the tenth doctor’s own actual desires, it also seems to misunderstand what giving in actually entails.

because for him giving in means accepting that rose is going to die and deciding to let them be together anyway. that is what he is actually mourning post-doomsday, the fact that she is essentially dead and he didn’t get to spend enough time with her or love her as fully as he wanted to.

you cannot tell me that he wasn’t going to let rose travel with him post-journey’s end if there hadn’t been the metacrisis doctor, or that he was just going drop her off when she was fifty because oh no she has wrinkles now. that little giggle he does when she says “so i could come back” is the sound of an alien’s mind being overwhelmed with images of decades of hand-holding and he knows losing all of that is going to shatter him. but he’s also been without rose now and he knows which pain he’d prefer.

and rose could die at 100 and he could be about to regenerate from old age and he would still be back on the powell estate on january 1, 2005, ready to say goodbye even as part of him starts all over again.

Netflix’s new best show is certified fresh! And will be canceled after the first season!

I think why Endhawks is so cathartic for me is that you have two people who have been through a bunch of trauma and made fucked up choices because of it and are both terrified that deep down that they aren’t worthy of love, that they’ll end up alone, that they are inherently bad.

And they are trying, trying so hard to change, to be good, to be lovable.

And they accept each other so easily. Like yes I see you. I see you trying so hard. You’re not hard to love at all. You are a good person at heart and that’s why you try so hard. I won’t flinch away at the hard, sharp edges of you because mine fit together with yours.

And it hits me right in my trauma core.

I just love them. Anyway…

[jiyongssi]

i was watching an old concert video and i remembered when jiyong used to lean into his group leader role so hard almost to the point of mother henning. he was always concerned and worried about all of the members. always tried to attend all the concerts or as many as he possibly can despite his own packed schedule.

he must have been stressed the hell out at such young age trying to juggle everything around

Hi, currently obsessed with your rotten work Buffy au!! Just wanted to ask if you have any thoughts on what Buffy’s relationship with Joyce looks like? Would it be more similar to Canon Buffy’s approach of hiding and pretending everything is fine, even post reveal, or are rotten work Buffy’s issues something Joyce would have to eventually pick up on??

dfgkhksdf i'm TOUCHED you like it so much!!! I didn't see a lot of action on those posts so I didn't think there was much interest, nice to see I was wrong B)

I think their relationship is likely even more tense and stays like that for much longer. I don't think that Buffy even comes home to Joyce right away after Anne/3x01, I think she goes to Giles first who then has to convince her to go home. He also likely has to play referee/negotiator the whole time.

Rotten work!Buffy is very dysfunctional when it comes to people, I think she'd absolutely lie to Joyce about like, her entire life, to try and keep her off her back and keeps it up even after Joyce finds out. Honestly she'd do more than just lie to her, she'd ice her out completely and totally disregard her parental authority. Any time Joyce tries to parent her she just points out she can leave whenever she wants and live where ever, that she's managed without Joyce already and it's rich Joyce wants to try this shit on her now after everything Joyce has done to her without even considering apologizing to her.

This is a Buffy who takes things like the institutionalization and the being told not to come back even more harshly than canon Buffy. When people do things like kicking her out, not believing her, betraying her, etc she sees it as a rock solid confirmation of all her worst fears and completely shuts down. When she experiences that kind of emotional hurt her solution is to go scorched earth and never talk to them again, that way there can't be a repeat. So it's very hard to get her to give people second chances. Joyce was already basically working on negative good will because of the institutionalization and kicking her out just has Buffy like "yeah okay this is Over. I'm Done."

She would likely have a crisis over it and want to reconcile around Season 5 once Joyce is getting scans and things. But that would be a very rocky road since it's so hard for Buffy to let go of hurts. Not to mention all the other stuff going on that's slowly impeding her ability to stay emotionally open like anxiety over Glory and whatever the fuck the Riley and Spike situations are here (assuming they exist, idk if Riley would even stay in Sunnydale in this au given how little Buffy wants to do with him).

But for like 4 years their relationship is that they don't really have a relationship. In Season 3 she's probably even jealous of Faith being on her own because living with her mom is a nightmare. All through this her friends and Giles are probably also trying to help fix things with varying success. Giles is probably the most successful but mainly because he you know, can talk to Joyce seriously as an adult about things. And really in a lot of ways the healing process has to start with Joyce. Buffy will only consider an olive branch when Joyce might die so like... Joyce has to show genuine remorse and make serious amends if she wants that process to start earlier than that.

I'd like to think that they reconciled by the time Joyce died but it's also very possible that Buffy emotionally shut down almost completely around when Joyce went in for surgery and hadn't fully come back yet exactly because of the fear of complications and losing her completely. So it's entirely possible they left things not fully worked out by the time Joyce died and it's something that Buffy takes to the grave (every time that happens since then) regretting.

I am once again crying over Whitney Jammer taking on some of the burden of his teammate in the finale of misfits and magic because that’s what it means to be a leader and that’s what it means to be a good friend and that’s what it means to be Whitney Jammer.

I love how there's two ship dynamics out of this.

The softness and pining of Starlo × Pancake.

And the rivalry of Rotten Jack × North Star
