So wait. The explanation as to why 10s face came back was because he desperately needed a rest and he was subconsciously seeking out Donna (Donna! Arguably the least restful friend he’s ever had) to settle down with? But like he only knew Donna for a couple of years, thousands of years ago. From the Doctor’s point of view they knew Amy, Rory, and River for centuries… but Donna is still more important to the current Doctor? Really?

having recovered from 7 years of weed addiction I can now say with full confidence that addiction is fully a disease and never a choice

there were many people (who claim to love me) who blamed me for my own addiction, hypocritically turning a blind eye to their own unhealthy coping mechanisms

disregarding the fact that my daily abuse was initially triggered by the devastating loss of my father to cancer, and became impossible to stop because of the onslaught of ptsd, depression & anxiety

also disregarding the obvious genetic component considering my mom’s and relatives’ nicotine addiction

there were even a handful of people who blamed me for their own weed addictions. this used to hurt me because I thought it was true, but now it hurts me because of how untrue it is, considering I was able to quit while still living with/being around several people who continue to smoke

I forgive those people who chided me (especially my own family), because looking back at myself, it must’ve been hard to watch such a beautiful young soul digging her own grave

I will try to forgive those people who blamed me for their own addiction, even that rich corporate one in whichever country currently has the misfortune of his presence actually scratch that, I don’t forgive that bastard for anything

I am eternally grateful for those people who held space for me and did not shame me. some of them I don’t talk to anymore but always wish them well. some of them are my best friends, family, and coworkers. these people recognized that I was suffering from an illness and treated it as such.

if you suffer from weed addiction, you are not alone. it is not your fault. it’s so difficult, and you have to do it all by yourself, but you are worth the effort.

My brother doesn’t understand why a woman would cut her hair short when a creepy man told her he liked her long hair

My brother thinks it’s cringy when women repost the “we are the daughters of the witches you tried to burn”

My brother thinks I’m so cringy and lame for liking Taylor swift and enjoying Disneyland. He doesn’t understand that even though I get she’s a billionaire with different problems than me and she’s not perfect, her lyrics still speak to me. And I feel safe at Disneyland because it reminds me of my grandma who taught me to believe in magic and of my dad who loves hearing about the behind the scenes stuff and the stories of the cast members.

My brother is so forward in his thinking about other stuff that I struggle with him when I try to tell him that in a group of his friends I get cut off and ignored when I say something, and someone will repeat what I just said. He doesn’t believe me because he didn’t hear me, proving my point.

My brother, who does not know what happened to me, doesn’t understand why women would choose a bear over a man because HE would rather live. I would much rather die.

My brother scoffs at booktok and what “trash” women consume with written and audio smut when I know he watches porn.

My brother doesn’t understand why I was upset with the older man at the concert who wasn’t listening and kept talking over me, telling me I should move to the open spot so I could see better, when I was saying I was purposely standing right behind my dad so the lights wouldn’t hit me straight in the eyes and I didn’t really care about seeing the band anyways.

My brother is such a smart person and is so caring about a lot of stuff. He does copious amounts of research to back himself up so he knows what he’s talking about. But sometimes I fear that he gets so caught up in the facts that he forgets that people have feeling and they sometimes do matter in discussions.

He forgets that only he can tell when he’s joking and so when I ask him if he’s serious and he says yes, I’ll believe him because he’s my brother, and I’m supposed to trust him. Sometimes he forgets that jokes are also supposed to be funny to the person you’re telling them to and gaslighting is not a funny joke. And it makes me believe and trust him less.

My brother forgets that he was not the only person slighted by our mother and so when he’s ranting and telling me what happened and I say “I’m sorry, I understand how you feel” he scoffs and tells me to shut up and I’m the Favorite child who gets everything. I’m not and I don’t, that’s our second oldest brother. But me being the only girl I see why he would think that.

My brother is NOT a villain and he’s certainly not my villain. He’s a complicated person I love that sometimes hurts me. And I have no doubt that I’ve hurt him, I am no victim after all.

Don walks in to the living room of their shared house and finds Chuck and Bobby cuddling on one of the couches, probably passed out. He just stands there looking kinda confused and then Stub walks through the room totally unfazed like “oh yeah, they do that sometimes.” Don takes this as meaning they’re in a relationship and is sad because he definitely had a crush on Bobby. In reality, the cuddling is entirely platonic and is something they did last year too, like they’re just two touchy/tactile people with anxiety seeking comfort from someone they trust. And Don starts to avoid Bobby which makes Bobby upset and maybe Don sees Bobby crying and can’t help but immediately assume he and Chuck broke up, but Bobby is just in tears like “tf Don?!”

So, here again the post about the website, because many people still have problems to access the page, I put everything in this post.

+ Duskwood x Moonvale sneak peek website

If you ask yourself now: huh? There is another image on the website, yes, but tumblr probably marked the post as mature content because of this image, so here, without the image including handcuffs.

bizarre feeling when people talk about a fandom’s “lack of media literacy” and their main complaint is… people are shipping characters?????

and not like, the themes of the work going over people’s heads, ignoring the actual canonical events of the story and characterization in favor of fanon, and getting your interpretation of the work from the most authoritative-sounding person in the vicinity rather than thinking for themselves

15 Day BL Challenge! Part 3!

Day 34: What trope/plot point do you fast forward through the most?

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Honestly I can’t say there is too much I’m willing to fast forward though. It’s more that I am more willing to give in to distract during scenes I don’t find interesting. There isn’t even really a hard and fast trope or plot point that I will fast forward/give into distraction with. Something I find interesting in one show I might find boring and/or over the top in another.

However I think the one I’m most willing to pay little attention to is insane amounts of idiocy from one or multiple characters in a drama. Some of my favourite tropes involve two idiots trying to and failing to fall in love and then make their relationship work. I even love noble idiocy most of the time, however I still think idiocy should have a limit. If the entire problem could be fixed if one or all parties involved in the situation had just stopped and talked or thought about the problem logically for longer than a few second then you start to lose me. If the problem drags on for a long time simply because they refuse to do said few seconds of thinking/talking, you lose me completely.

Love Mechanics is a good example of this for me. I enjoyed the mini series version, but expanding upon the story just didn’t work for me for a variety of reasons. The biggest one being it make Mark look terrible because he just seems like he’s being willingfilly idioctic and stupid instead of listening to what Vee has to say. It also makes Vee look worse too by making him seem even more indecisive than the mini series did. It made me want to lock them in a room and not let them out until they talked about their feelings and not even in a “omg I wanna put them in a jar and study them” kind of way. More like an “omg please make them stop” kind of way.

I love YinWar but I simply cannot with these two. It sucks because I want to like them but I just couldn’t. I was so distracted while watching this series to the point I’m not even sure if I finished it. Yet sadly I have no desire to revisit it.

@lonely-cereal oh i get to explain this ship. ohhh my god. i don’t have the energy to put this in essay form, but here’s the breakdown of my Rayvio agenda 💜🖤

I personally prefer to ship Ray with someone who isn’t from Grace Field, for Isabella reasons 

and Violet is unlike anyone he’s ever met, in both looks and personality

but let’s be so serious: she looks like a slightly less feminine Norman, has Emma’s courage. the twist is her attitude. I think Ray would be drawn to her.

they instantly understood each other ����

they both try to pretend they’re cool and chill, when the opposite is true they care so so so much and have a natural inclination to protect 

they look like punk ass mallrat MySpace emo kids like that’s all i can really say on that aspect. but bro trust me on this just trust me

Ray guided her and the rest of the Goldy Pond kids back to the bunker, and it took two weeks, and they had a lot of time to get to know each other. Violet was relativity uninjured compared to the other GP main players, so she’s probably the one who Ray spoke to most often (aside from Lucas ofc) and they definitely worked together while getting such a huge group across that vast distance.  

And they had even more time to get close during the search for Cuvitadala. further reading. I think, if we’d gotten more fleshed out chapters from that part of the story, we’d see them interacting a lot more.

it’s not a jump to say they became friends pretty quickly, even less of a jump to suggest they have a solid dynamic. we saw them gang up on Emma for being reckless (really, they’re both worried about her), demonstrating that they’re on the same page, and they already move as a unit. 

(we’re entering headcanon territory so just close your eyes and open your mind to my vision) While I assume Emma and Ray paired off most often during the search for Cuvitadala — they are the besties of all time after all — as well as Ray and Don, I see Violet and Ray being a surprisingly frequent pair. Gilda and Emma definitely take notice of this development.

now walk with me here, because in my expert opinion, this ship is a slowwwww burn. like it takes them almost a decade to actually get together. But they just vibe with each other. they hang out more and more after coming to the human world, growing steadily closer. 

Ray probably understands what’s happening and comes to terms with it first, deciding to simply Ignore these feelings until they go away. He thinks there’s just no way she’d ever like him like that. And seeing as he places such high value in friendship, he might even think it unfair to put those feelings on her. 

Violet is more hesitant, always cautious when it comes to investing emotionally. However, she knew early on this nerd was going to be a problem for her. She also elected to ignore these feelings, and it works for a decent amount of time. 

Time goes on, and they start to grow up. The dynamic changes a little, and their sarcastic banter has become more like play flirting, then more like actual flirting. They both think the other is 100% joking.

But Violet gets annoyed with the will-they-won’t-they a few years after they find Emma, and just decides to say Fuck It and kisses him to get it out of her system. this plan backfires, spectacularly. 

Ray is like Woah ?!?!!! 

They kinda just don’t talk about it and carry on like before, for a few weeks. Until she’s like “oh hey btw what the fuck is your problem” and he’s like “what’s UR problem” and then. bam. Rayvio. Vioray. You agree. 🙏

[faradaykay]

my favorite thing about akihiko is his complete and absolute lack of rizz. he has never been smooth and flirtatious in his life. he has a fanclub of girls who want to date him at school but if they had to speak to him for even 5 minutes i think they would all quit. he thinks protein and workout facts will make women attracted to him. he is so stupid

[wibble-wobbegong]

#1 problem with some analysis is that people turn the narrative into something which supports their own beliefs rather than trying to understand the argument the show is making in itself, whether you agree with it or not

one of my teachers tells us constantly that it isn’t about what you believe but about what you can argue with what you’re given. whether or not you agree with the message doesn’t matter, it’s about understanding the message in the first place
