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.

what i love so much about wei ying is how much he actually loves children. like he canonically is a good mentor/father figure and he wants to have kids of his own someday. it tears me apart inside thinking about how much he suppresses with jin ling because…that’s his shijie’s son, and in another world, he would’ve been the best uncle jin ling ever had. and with a-yuan being his “little one”, he was so heartbroken every time he thought a-yuan probably didn’t make it out of the burial mounds. in yi city, he was the ideal teacher: giving the disciples chances to figure out the solution for themselves and getting some hands on experience by guiding them on what to look for when night hunting…

lan zhan and wei ying’s dynamic with children is so special because anyone with half a brain can tell they care so much about all the kids they come across. truly after the war, with all the orphans and complicated family dynamics, to watch two people who mutually love and support each other through hell and back also simultaneously adopting every broken child is so healing, even when it doesn’t work out in the end.

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…

lmao my dad had an appendectomy a couple months ago and I had to call an ambulance for him 💀 his recovery took about two weeks even with it partially ruptured AND after a couple days in the hospital, but he was up and moving okay a couple days post opp. It wasn’t necessarily comfortable but it was manageable and he could complete basic tasks so overall the struggle shouldn’t be that bad for you either 🤗. He also didn’t take the pain meds they gave him for the most part and opted for ibuprofen so if you’ve got a prescription it should be even better for you, I hope recovery goes well <3

_

OH FUKKI I JUST SAW THIS yeah unfortunately it was those instances where you have to get up and move in order to build strength and get better whichhh suuuuucked BUT it was necessary and my strength is almost kinda back to normal now💪but damn those first few times getting up were justttttt rough to say the least sksksk my color came back I don't look like I died 3 days ago anymore AHA and I'm inching thru solid food🤘 so I'm on the right track now its just a matter of taking it easy but also pushing my body necessarily

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.

my hot take about descendants is that NONE of the core four were ready for a relationship until maybe like, the third movie (rant in tags)

About once a day I go through the mental gymnastics of going "god I should probably make an art insta, for ~professional purposes~ and ~networking~ and ~cultivating an audience~"

And then I scrunch my face up so hard my features cave inside my skull thinking about conceding to using an algorithmic social media platform in 2023, let alone a facebook product

(please don't take this as a call to suggest alternative social medias to me sdlkfjs I mega super promise you I am aware of them)

I'm not going to pretend it doesn't make me angry that I spend months and years trying to peddle my work to make ends meet, that I spend so much time mentioning my books and comms and everything, and people ignore that consisently... But the moment I finally break under the hopelessness - when it's obvious that it's fucking futile, that almost no one deems my work good enough to share with anyone else - suddenly they're concerned and scolding me. I'm working several jobs, bathing, generally keeping things clean, and I do this with several health problems including chronic pain. I found out that one of my cysts is growing and I may need to have it surgically removed. Which means potentially missing work to recover. Which means more money I lose. I spend so much time crawling out of the hole and it goes ignored, but the moment I just give up bc I don't have any strength left, suddenly that's my fault and I'm mentally sick. And that kind of makes me wish my entire situation upon people, and when they whine that it's hard, well fuck you, you thought I could ace it so surely you can, babe! I hate being angry about this, but it's just so exhausting to tell people who accuse me of not trying that I HAVE I HAVE SO FUCKING HARD AND YOU DID NOT PAY ATTENTION THEN Or you know you're attempting to gaslight me by claiming I didn't try despite that I obviously have worked my ass off trying, and that's so much fucking worse
