Philip Lombard
from And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

#yikes the original title of this book...#researching this one led me down a few adhd-induced rabbit holes#like this book alludes to a character being eaten by a red herring at the start. but it's not a 'red herring' trope. he actually does drown#interestingly- the idea of a 'red herring' plot device predates this book by 70 years. so agatha christie was surely aware of the#connotations of a red herring in a murder mystery. if anything making the red herring allusion unexpectedly true is a red herring in itself#I also found an entry for this guy on “sexypedia.fandom.com” which mentioned that he fulfils the “johnlocked” trope - meaning that he and#vera are often paired together despite not being romantically involved in canon. the trope name is indeed after john and sherlock#which is frankly bizarre. the phenomenon of two characters being arbitrarily paired together without a canon basis is a very real issue#but in what world are sherlock and john an example of that?#anyway#and then there were none#agatha christie#classic literature#polls#queer#new post

The daffodil bulbs I planted are coming up!!!
#none of the other bulbs I planted have yet raised their heads however#I may have planted them too late#but that’s okay there’s always next year#and actually im not sure when erythroniums come up#anyway if they’ve been eaten im fairly philosophical about it though the erythroniums were quite expensive

SHE READ IT IN THE BOOK
COOL
#i read it last year and it was so cool#there were some inaccuracies that hurt my biology-nerd heart but thats the charm of jurassic park#but the big difference between the book and the movies was that john hammond was a DICK#he didnt care about his grandkids and he hated dinosaurs#and towards the end of the book he left the others behind#bcs he was a dick#broke his ankle#and was eaten by compies#and that scene was so fucking cool#not only was he killed bu creatures he hated and made money pf#but it wasnt even glorious#he was eaten by scavengers#creatures that eat the sick and dead#the ones that arent any threat at all#10/10#symbolism isnt dead#jurassic world camp cretaceous#jwcc#jurassic park#john hammond#i need more jurassic park friends#none of my friends care that there was a novel reference#LIKE ITS AMAZING WDYM???? CAN SOMEONE GEEK OUT WITH ME PLEASE

A trend in Astarion fics that I find bizarre is the idea that he's never been treated gently during sex. This is difficult to believe for one simple reason: some of Astarion's victims were virgins.
Astarion: You were handsome. Shy. You'd never been kissed. Sebastian: You taught me how. And then you destroyed me.
I get the desire to make his current partner special by having their sex be good and wholesome in comparison to his other trysts, but this is a flawed sentiment. The cutscene of that first night together is incredibly tender from the kiss to laying on the grass - the only outlier being if you offer your neck - and if you sleep with Astarion but keep it at that night, Astarion himself says he will never forget you. Not because the PC was uniquely gentle with him in bed, but because they were the first person he ever slept with of his own free will. It's his choice that makes that night special to him moreso than anything the PC may or may not have done during that time.
#baldur's gate 3#astarion ancunin#astarion#the only exception i have to this is rimming. im down so bad for him being overwhelmed from being eaten out its not even funny#also the blood drinking since that is canonically new. makes me wonder how not being hungry would specifically affect him during sexy times#it's an eat or be eaten out world#...anyway#other factors can and probably do make their adult fun times special for him. particularly the intricacies of personal dynamics#a night w a pc that listens to him. lets him drink often. and saves the tiefs is def more special than one w a pc who does none of those#i really enjoy the tension between his hating heroic types and them being the most likely to provide the things he needs to survive#oh and smth thats somewhat related to this#i don't think astarion ever let his conquests see his back#in the clearing he's always facing his partner and even the camera doesnt show his back until the dramatic reveal#given that his victims were all one night stands it'd be p easy to convince each of them to do it face to face#leaves plenty of positions and ftf is oft more romantic which could def be an interesting conflict for him and his lover#so many common gestures of affection have been ruined for him. theyre just motions at best now#that makes it easier for their faces to be ingrained in his head so. bonus trauma lol

Hate trying a vegan alternative whatever and it tastes a bit too close to real meat. Cheese and milk and stuff is easy to "sniff" out because animal fat tastes so insanely different from plant fat but meat especially packaged in dough? Feels literally impossible to differentiate and I hate that so much
#I haven't consciously eaten meat since I was like 8 so my memory also isn't great regarding that#I have had a few ... slip ups I guess but none of them were my fault :') I've actually accidentally eaten meat like two years ago#was a terrible experience and I couldn't differentiate it by taste ough#people slipping up with cheese or milk happens WAY more often like I actively avoid food that isn't my own or from people I really trust#worse when they do it on purpose like hah now you've eaten smth not vegan and didn't notice! like thanks you fucker I'll definitely not-#notice it later on the toilet while I feel like dying 7_7 almost like there's a reason I eat vegan smh#rains rants#english nonsense

Idk what it’s gonna take for either my sisters to grow up and realize they’re not going to be parented OR my dad to realize that he needs to help out in his own house besides eating the food I cook and sleeping on the couch
#I get home none of them have eaten all day it’s 9:00 like 😭 they were waiting for ME to point to what they can eat#find it yourself..wtaf.. you guys are adults#they’re still stuck in the mindset that they need to be taken care of I guess. my youngest sister gets a pass cuz she’s still in hs#but seriously 🤦#they’re like this because of our past but at what point are you gonna realize..omfg#IDK just annoying. it’s ok. lol#idk. it has to be younger sibling stuff cuz I was NOT acting like this when I was their age

White Lily/Dark Enchantress: I must know why cookies where created!
Me: Dear, probably not even the witches know why they were created, calm the fuck down
#“cookies were made to be eaten” yeah? and how many cookies have you actually seen been eaten?#none so shut up this isn't your problem#and if it is then take it to the witches not the other cookies who are living happily without crumbling or being eaten#can you tell I don't like her very much?#I enjoy the philosophy of it all yes#but I just can't with her trying to fix what isn't broken and doing so by hurting the innocent#GO FIGHT THE WITCHES INSTEAD MA'AM#leave the peaceful cookie land alone#cookie run kingdom#dark enchantress cookie#white lily cookie#if you have a problem with god you take it with them not their creation#less cyrus and more volo

Look I like Beastars but I will admit for a series that like explores dynamics of Carnivores and Herbivores, coexisting excetera especially in the later arc - especially with Melon- like I see what they were going for and its cool but at the same time like Yahya's whole thing of wanting things clear cut and like what would you call something that has traits of both or whatever,
like Buddy. That is called an Omnivore.
Also just trying to make such a clean line of Herbivore v Carnivore ends up leaving a strange spot of how to categorize animals.
Anteaters may not hunt or need like full on meat but technically they still be eating other animals with insects so lumping them in with herbivores is a strange choice.
More confusing is this choice I noticed of Hippos being put with the carnivores??? Yeah they dangerous mf with bad tempers but they are full on herbivores their stomachs ain't made for meat.
I'm not saying I expect or even some giant societal deep dive on how it works just idk throw in an off hand comment.
An Omniverous animal complaining they are seen the same as Carnivores.
A small carnivore voicing some kind of concern for their own safety. Because you know if one is hungry and the desperate enough a larger Carnivore/Predatore will for sure attack a smaller one
Imagine just a quick side scene of Gohin treating like a Deer, some herbivore who idk maybe they'd been living on the streets/otherwise not eating well so in an act of desperation attacked and killed a small animal (because altho not designed for in worse case scenario and need be some herbivores can and will eat meat when lacking like protein/ something in their diet)
Doesn't need to be a focus just another of his patients you happen to see during one of Legoshi's visits or something.
--
Still think it's weird the choice of making Venom seem like it's some kind of idk acid/ dangerous chemical that even just touching your skin is bad.
Personally I think it would have been interesting if, what if other animals fear of reptiles especially those who are venomous was based on like misinformation.
Every animal of course knows that venom is dangerous and can cause serious damage even kill you but beyond that a lot of animals/ everyday folk perhaps don't understand exactly how it works / assuming it's basically the same as Poison where in sometimes all you have to do is touch it and let it absorb in your skin or ingest it to be harmed. Instead of needing to be injected- and also the fact that Reptiles CAN control their venom (dry bites are a thing)
--
I'd say a flaw with both Beastars and Zootopia (or anything else with like X animals can't get along or whatever) Is the idea that animals are always fighting, eating each other and can never just live together??? Cause like yah sure obviously predators gotta eat, prey gonna get eaten but the vast majority of the time animals just be chilling. As long as everyone keeps to their own space / doesn't do anything to set the other animal(s) off they cool that's just how nature IS.
#I acknowledge maybe I just know way to much about animals that my brain ends up focusing on these small otherwise unimportant details#but here we are#I do want to say none of these things/thoughts ruin my enjoyment of the series#but it does make me think and wonder#like what would it be like if certain things were ever so different#bare minimum some of these could be interesting things to explore in Beast Complex/ side stories#granted this series also placed a Hyena in the Canine dorm section *shrug*#look you can absolutely write complex stories about like a society of anthro animals and how things may or may not function#or how things would work but also#idk I think anyone doing that should take sometime to read up on animals see what they are like in real life and figure out how to adapt th#that cause damn animals have a lot of complexities going on all on their own in terms of diet or living or whatever#I do however quite enjoy that aquatic animals have very much adapted the circle of life mentality#accepting that its eat and be eaten and there's nothing wrong with that#it's life and it's nature

for all the parroting about loving evil characters and wishing they were worse and hating the morality argument, team green does not like the fact that their favs aren’t well liked, nor cared about that much 😗
#house of the dragon#hotd#like no one is going to tear alicent from your hands#she ain’t real#none of them are but yall choose them#yall choose to like this characters and defend them so do and don’t get mad when you get eaten up by the majority#‘i’d go on about why I don’t like rhaenyra but id sound like a westerosi peasant.’ ??????#and that doesn’t concern you???#you ain’t gotta like her enjoy the characters you want but#AND THIS IS A BIG BUT#but if you are going to admit to hating her for weird ass standards that the book and author are telling you is unjust and unfair than maybe#just maybe. you are the one who missed the point#maybe. just maybe. you hate her because many can recognize the unjust system and nature of Westeros and have no problem with it being killed#maybe you hate that no one cares about your favs past the dance but many do care about the characters you hate??#or maybe you can’t stand a bad bitch having people who will defend her through everything even if your favs don’t have that#who knows but back to the main plot here#you chose them. you sit here and give whatever argument you want but it’s not a good one and you know it#‘she has bastards?’ the people who want to destroy her created those rumors.#‘she married daemon?’ people who hated him put aside their differences for him because it wasn’t about him#‘she lazy and spoiled.’ your favs son or your fav is literally the same if not worse#you don’t have good arguments none and you all know that#idk but yall have deluded yourselves into thinking the greens were popular#then get hit by the broke baltimore bridge when you remember that not even half the fandom likes these guys#the greens being so unpopular even after the showrunners sent a clean up crew made it clear that the personalities weren’t the issue#sympathetic or not they are the bad guys. they are the antagonists. THEY ARE NOT THE SIDE THE MAJORITY IS ROOTING FOR.#their actions are the reason they aren’t like and they are worse than whatever rhaenyra has done to piss you off#deal with it and love them as villains or wtf up and cry. i don’t know just deal with it without bitching.

test to see if the pictures are side-by-side, and also to like, have two unused tftsmp characters wo I talk about sometimes back on the dash again lol.
#just testing out the new post editor don't mind me#you know it's pretty neat like thinking about it#how we didn't actually see these two and the skins were unused but are canon bc they were mentioned in their respective episodes#and how one was actually talked about more in canon than the other one but is so underutilized in fandom#whereas the other one (love him to bits btw) basically became a whole like fan favorite fandom oc for like a hot minute#none of this neg btw I just find it really fascinating to think about honestly#you know in retrospect I'm actually glad that they were unseen characters (mostly unseen- the priest got eaten by crops rip) bc otherwise w#most likely would not have gotten the characters that we have made from them#not really gonna tag this I'm just kinda rambling#mutuals who I've talked about this with before y'all get me#I guess this is kinda meta? Idk#I'm tired I need to stop-

Op is 100% correct
the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????
i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.
so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.
#im not 30 yet but im in my 20s. and i didnt think i was going to make it here#ive had several events happen in my life that have made me realise if i dont change things i would die young. like really young#but im still here. im still fighting. and every day - regardless of if its a good one or a bad one - i make mine#with the knowledge that it will get better and i will slip up. but none of it will matter if im not there to wake up. so i do#i dont like movies with cheesy messages but i think they were right with “one step at a time”.#to anyone out there struggling: the smallest achievements matter. you woke up today? congratulations. sincerely from the bottom of my heart!#you managed to eat anything today? im cheering you on with the biggest pompoms!#you gave in and did a bad thing? thats fine#youll beat it tomorrow.#you just have to make it to tomorrow and not beat yourself up about everything. cause theres gonna be things you beat yourself up for that#dont actually matter. but youve got to keep going. i promise it will all look better tomorrow#itll all look better after youve slept. itll all look better after youve eaten. itll all look better after youve washed.#and omg it will look so much better when you sit outside for 5 minutes. when you talk to a friend or a waitress in a coffee shop or anyone.#so from one person who wants to make it to tomorrow to you: the fact that youre reading this now means that youll be ok. youll get there#one step at a time. together.#we'll make it

Perhaps they ought not to have eaten the dragon. There had been people objecting to it at the time. Surely such meat was poisonous. Perhaps it was even an affront, an insult to some intangible order of nature they ought to honour.
But the city was starving, the siege had gone on too long, and the king's troops were still a week's march away. The scorched earth would be fertile again in time, but right now it was barren. Right now there were mouths to feed. So they changed their crossbows for butcher knives and got to work.
None of the royal commanders asked any questions that could not be answered. After all, their aid had come shamefully late. The dragon's horned skull made a noble gift, a fitting tribute from a triumphant city to its humbled king. Who would have thought to question them?
And none of the townsfolk spoke up, when the first golden-eyed babes were born. Children who grew up barefoot and fearless, clambering over the city's patched and rebuilt roofs like they had no notion of falling, with a strange glitter to their skin when the sunlight hit it just so. No one breathed a word about dragons.
Because soon enough there were deft, young hands taking loaves straight out of the oven, heedlessly lifting iron from the forge, plunging into boiling laundry water. And some of them more wondrous still, wild, warm-skinned youths, with inexplicable knowledge and peculiar remedies.
A blessing, their families said proudly. A blessing after so much hardship. Which it was, in its way. This city would never fear dragon fire again.

we didn’t even celebrate her last gotcha day. why didn’t we do that. I don’t want this to be the last one. I thought I would get so much longer with her. why can’t I stop catastrophizing. what if she’s gonna be okay. what if I didn’t have to think about this.
#im. distraught#I feel like a monster#this dog is my best friend#I’ve been crying off and on for 3 hours now#my last dog died when I was 9#I was too scared to be in the room with him as we let him go#and it has eaten me alive ever since#it breaks my heart to think that I might have to do this again#I’ll promise myself that I will be there with her#I want her to know how much I love her#god just typing that physically hurt#we’re not even in the bad stages#she’s still eating and drinking#she’s not in pain#but god#god I can’t do it I can’t#I don’t want to#I know it’ll happen one day#but I didn’t want it to be like this#I wanted it to be on her terms#I cried 4 times typing all this out#sorry im like this#I just needed it to get it out#and none of my friends were awake#tw animal death mention

Content: gender neutral reader, monster smut, NSFW!
I’m harping on that arranged marriage trope again, but imagine being kidnapped as a spouse for a monstrous demon lord who has a thing for humans. You’re not the first attempt, but the household servants have truly lost count on how many humans crossed their threshold. Some ran away, some were eaten alive: none of the poor, frail mortals could handle the grotesque creature and his equally terrifying temper.
They guide you to the sleeping chambers with a pitiful gaze. They expect to pick up your scattered body tomorrow morning and scrub the dried blood off the floors.
What no one took into consideration was that you’re a shameless monster fucker. One glance at the beastly husband, and you fumble to remove your clothes with trembling hands. This is going to be good, you tell yourself, face flushed in obvious arousal. His unholy majesty certainly didn’t expect you’d hop straight on his dick, no questions asked. Not that he’s complaining much; on the contrary, it takes mere seconds for him to become completely feral.
The next day, you peacefully sip on your tea, pretending not to notice the baffled stares of the servants. If that wasn’t shocking enough, their master walks in with a genuine smile on his face.
Who would’ve thought, all he needed was a good fuck.
