Rumor is information distilled so finely that it can filter through anything. It does not need doors and windows--sometimes it doesn't even need people. It can exist free and wild, running from ear to ear without ever touching lips.

It had escaped already. From the high window of the Patrician's bedroom, Sam Vimes could see people drifting towards the palace. There wasn't a mob--there wasn't even what you might call a crowd--but the Brownian motion of the streets was bouncing more and more people in his direction.

"rhaenys could have ended the war by dracarysing all the greens right there" yes because a distant relation to the throne deciding to barbecue an anointed and publicly positively hailed king and his entire family who is well loved within the city and in multiple other parts of the country for the sake of the succession of a far-away princess no one was ever on board with who hasn't been seen by the populace in literal years, her psycho husband, her three obvious bastards, and two toddlers from the psycho husband would go over super well with westeros and especially in king's landing where scores of the still-cheering population were killed for no reason by that same dragon who would do the barbecuing, because when targaryens act unilaterally without thinking of how the people would react there's never any problem, which is why the storming of the dragonpit and robert's rebellion were actually just collective delusions dreamed up by readers who hate rhaenyra and not key parts of the story and house targaryen's history that directly contributed to their demise and are intrinsic to the plot

Something for my Trigun fans who are watching American politics right now. I should be sorry, and I kind of am, but I couldn't help myself. Not on my Trigun sideblog for reasons of not wanting to infect it with politics, even political humor. I think I'm funny. I'm probably not.

Thought I was imagining it at first but no the set of JEAN BRODIE is deliberately constructed to be, if not identical to, then a distorted mirror image of the school set from Mädchen in Uniform. Whoever did the props and sets for this film deserves an intertextual (intervisual?) commendation

Hey Kit is Anakin/Kitster The Manservant/future King Anakin force sensitive? Is he hiding it from the Jedi and Sith? Darth Solence has no idea at all until Anakin drops his shields at the most dramatic opportunity possible and Obi-Wan has..... a Very Strong Reaction, hahaha. I'm such a sucker for most of the Jedi (and most sensible people really) being genuinely frightened when Anakin does, like, impossible things bc his force sensitivity is so strong, but Obi-Wan being severely turned on by it instead, hehehe.

ooo i would say he's force sensitive for sure - i usually try not to take away anakin's force sensitivity in gffa aus!!

i think this raises a good question of 'purposefully hiding it from the jedi and the sith' vs not really understanding it would be something they would like to know

i don't think either the jedi or the sith know prince skywalker is force sensitive, so obi-wan discovering manservant kitster is force sensitive would add on to his fascination and attraction (especially when the manservant is just....casually using the force to complete intricate chores as if it's no big deal even though he has never been trained and this level of finesse is unheard of if you're not trained by either the jedi or the sith)

(i agree, i like evil!obi-wan being very attracted to anakin's power, i think that's a key dynamic for most sith!obi-wan/anakin relationships)

but i also don't think anakin knows that he should be hiding his force sensitivity - like, i like to think of it more as...an open secret? he's not going to run around and declare it, but NNP Jedi isn't really focused on Prince Skywalker's manservant, so he doesn't notice or doesn't care, and yeah, sure, Lord Solence is fascinated and horny about his power, but prince skywalker's manservant has other things to worry about when darth solence is looking at him with that level of fascination and horniness in his eyes

(mostly if they're going to make it to a bedchamber before they fuck or if this is finally gonna be the time they're fucking in the hallway)

This is important to tell people about to dispel some rumors. Harris only dated Willie Brown AFTER he separated from his wife and BEFORE he was the mayor. This means that she probably wasn’t just doing it for money or a promotion or anything like that.

This is critical context I didn’t even know until only a few days ago! Up until recently I had only been told the false narrative.

This narrative that Kamala “only dated him for money or for her own career gain”. Is most likely technically untrue!

Well, now that Biden dropped out we really gotta pick a good replacement-- someone who is solid in their beliefs and has a good character, because that would sway the undecided. Remember to vote, everyone. You have no clue how much your vote matters, especially now, when things can go REALLY wrong.

I know this is like super old news but can we talk about how uchtdorf got demoted and has barely spoken in conferences (the ones I’ve watched at least) since monson died. Like they really replaced probably the most objectively liked guy of the bunch with the most controversial guy. And from what I know, it’s not often that they almost completely redo a first presidency after a pr/phet dies. I know it was probably to rebrand the whole thing; they couldn’t start looking too nice and progressive, but like what did uchtdorf do????

I see no one talking abt bangladesh right now and most people are focusing on england but basically a couple weeks ago the uni students started protesting against the job/admission quota previously in place where a percentage of the accepted applicants can get in on other claims such as the women's qouta (it was 10% i think) the disabled quota (somewhere like 1-5%) and the 1971 freedom fighters quota w/ their children and grandchildren which was a whooping 30%.

Naturally people were kinda against that. This girl i talked to on the bus told me she was in 406th position based on her merit but wasn't able to get physics on her uni subject but a guy on the 2385th position did cuz he admitted to the quota system on basis of having a freedom fighter grandparent. So naturally she went to protest too.

Unfortunately politics are a finicky thing so soon you have small terrorist groups attacking the students and causing more destruction and arson. Now there is a death toll. The prime minister has already called the protestors rajakar for going against the 'legacy of our independence' (for context rajakar is basically a slur around here which was used to refer to people from our side during the was who helped pakistan and killed and tortured people worse than they ever did. It was... not a good move)

It gets worse and the police get involved students die. Police officers die. Both of them blame each other. The actual perpetrators are still at large.

The students started a nine point demand but it wasn't accepted and instead people died. So they just turned it into a one point demand for the resignation of the prime minister who has been handling the entire situation quite poorly and has already made things was worse.

As of today on Aug5 near the afternoon (in GMT+6 at least) the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned. And now we await further news.

Hey so apparently Tumblr is gonna start using all art posted on the platform to train an ai or something, I'm not sure if it's true but I thought you should probably know

Do you have any source at all about this? I know you are telling me this with good intention (or at least I would hope so), but without any kind of source to point to its very easy for misinfo to spread. While I wouldn't be surprised with how things have been going online lately, but. still. would like to see a source on it

rhaenyra’s contentious relationship with her own bodily autonomy

[lokh]

Honestly I think its mad funny that in the Shuro/Laios au Laios’ Party think it was HIS idea. Like wait till they find out this was from Shuro like that Laios’ proximity chart about to be a family staple passed down from generation to generation, lovingly given to his fiancee.

AJABSBDBXBX 😭😭😭😭 all trust in shuro absolutely fucking lost like how could they ever have thought he was a Reasonable guy... in his defense maizuru is the one that came up with it and he's a pushover and couldn't put a stop to it fast enough. i feel like it would definitely make him more likeable to marcille tho lmao, like 1) no longer attempting to court falin but also 2) Ah, so you too have been influenced by laios....
