hello band of brothers fandom

And Mat? How's Mat doing? Oh he's doing grreeeaaat.

And yeah Mat, it's tooootally Moiraine's fault you have holes in your memory. Definitelt wasn't caused by that cursed dagger that you picked up after everyone told you not to.

Anyway, the distance between what Mat thinks and does is always interesting (and not something I thought about a ton back in the day).

And those wastrel nobleman definitely think Mat is much more dangerous than Mat thinks he is. He gets visibly, ummm, annoyed with Estean and the other dudes are all shooting telepathic messages at Estean to please shut the fuck up, all of which totally goes over Mat's head. Which contrasts with how well Mat otherwise understands their underlying rationales.

A touch that whispers, 'I’m so glad you're safe.'"

A sigh, radiating relief that words can't express.

Solas cosplay update: I finally finished this bag 😭 I spent ages on it but I'm so proud of my first bag ever!!

Solas doesn't have a bag like this in-game (I mean, he does have a pouch thing in his original apostate gear but not this size/shape). I really need one for the convention and found this pattern on Etsy that seemed very elfy haha

One of the reasons it took me a while is because it's not leather, it's upholstery vinyl!

It's a lot more flexible/thinner, so I had to double up layers and also paint it to look like leather. I ended up also using some foam to give it more structure. I really hope it doesn't break on me at the con 🙏

everything about me is about my general disconnect with the world around me, except being Objectum which is about being Alive.

You said how you aren't going to tell us your actual names. Is this a 'names have power' sort thing, or just social convention?

Whichever it is, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess collector naming conventions have an astral theme. You know, Moon, Pulsar, Asteroids, that sort of thing.

The Charmer: Well, since you're so determined to know, then I will just tell you why we don't tell you our names. It's because they are in our native language and you wouldn't be able to pronounce it. We speak two languages. One is the language we've been using to speak to all of you, it is instantly understandable to you no matter your own first language, it can even be heard in the vacuum of space, but so can our main language. This language is a spell of sorts, when we speak it, it is understood, and all those that hear it can then understand others who've heard it spoken.

The Cartographer: In our first language anything we might say is entirely incomprehensible to you. Your mind actively rejects it when you hear it spoken. I'll prove it.

They begin to speak, and you cannot tell what is being said, their lips move but your mind forgets the shapes they become. You try to concentrate on the sound but once the word is no longer being spoken you can only recall a melody or music, but that soon leaves you as well, like sand slipping between your fingers.

The Coordinator: Yes, it is impossible for you to understand our language, let alone speak it. It would be like trying to force yourself to speak in colors. So we use code names that will be understandable to you.

The Curator: Plus, if our names did have power, something as easy to guess as space theming would be silly and far too easy for something so important.

The for lack of a better term "theyfab discourse" is extremely complicated and not something I particularly want to engage with bc I'll inevitably get my head torn off but can I just say if someone says "I personally remember transmedicalist trans guys using this word like ten years ago" I don't rlly think it's anyone else's place to basically go Nuh-Uh That's Not True. Are u truly so connected to the fucking word "theyfab" that u need to do Tumblr meme word etymology revisionism about it

Can someone explain what the narrative stakes are even supposed to be anymore in jjk. All the characters are essentially guaranteed to die, the current cast is comprised almost entirely of characters who showed up 2/3rds into the story and we're supposed to care about them for some reason, and I do not even know what the threat is supposed to be anymore. The apocalypse? Destruction of an amorphous innocent society? Like has ANYTHING been shown of "here's the regular world that apparently needs to be saved" or are we just supposed to assume "this society is just Real Life+, so you're REQUIRED to care if some guy threatens to kill all humanity, because one of those humanities may be... a child" or something. Can you spare two seconds to show anything other than some magic randos fighting, or is it just a superhero story all the time now, minus the fun. Remember when yuuji had friends.

nothing like being reminded of a really shitty fucking thing that your dad did nearly 20 years ago that you still hold a grudge over.

In my defense, when - at the age of 20 - I (an at-the-time wiccan socialist dyke) had to move back in with him and mom (very conservative evangelical christians), I decided to be respectful of their boundaries regarding “inappropriate” things, and just put all my queer stuff, wiccan stuff, general fandomy stuff, and basically everything that was most important to me in one box, give that box to my dad, and say “hey, I realize with my sister in the house still especially, you and mom probably wouldn’t appreciate some of my stuff in the house since I’m gay and no longer a christian, so you can put this in storage and it won’t have to be in your house, just send it to me when I move out in a few months” and my dad agreed. It had mementos from my first pride, photographs of my friends and girlfriend, my stone collection, my diaries from like age 14 onward, multiple full spiral ring notebooks of fanfiction that I hadn’t finished/typed up yet, some of which I was really proud of and looking forward to eventually posting. Important box.

When I moved, he sent on all my things, but it was one box short. That box. I spent like 3-4 months calling and emailing saying “hey it still hasn’t gotten here are you sure you sent it” and him saying “yes I absolutely did” before he FINALLY admitted that he had never put it in storage. He’d thrown it in a dumpster immediately after I gave it to him.

I have never forgiven him for that and I will never forgive him for that. I extended an olive branch during a time when I was feeling most hostile towards them, and he took it out back and set it on fire while actively lying to me that he’d put it somewhere safe, and then had the gall to be shocked when I literally cut off all contact with him for months after that.

"What?! Who told you that, don't listen to him!"

He's SUCH a loser omg

[theloopcrew]

i think its really funny that part 2 didn't do the "zenigata dresses up as a woman to get lupin to come willingly" thing until lupin switched bodies with a person so it wouldn't count as lupin hitting on zenigata

My feelings about the staff meeting were 100% spot-on, and it turns out that the staff meeting was, in fact, about ME!!!
