i need an excuse to not watch stp bc damn that looks... well that bit i saw with the chamomile tea looks fun! Can’t say much for everything else i saw :|
the funny thing is, i thought the soap opera is what would do it for me, legit, i don’t like tng that much and i’m not emotionally attached to any of the characters, so when i say that the characterisation is making me cringe on their behalf, i really mean it.

honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.
i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue

Headcanon that castiel is awkward because he doesn't fully understand English. Like, yeah, he can navigate a dictionary, but when it comes to jokes and phrases, he doesn't understand them. Then Sam and Dean find a book in the bunker that is like a learning guide for enochian, and it is surprisingly easy to learn. So now that they understand the basics of enochian, they start being able to deliver all the comments Cas would make under his breath, and they have to come to the horrible realization that Castiel is a fucking asshole. He just doesn't know how to be an asshole in English.

I was reading a sci-fi book featuring Russain cosmonauts and the book mentioned the phrase 'Ни пуха ни пера'. I was tickled by the similarity to 'break a leg' BUT it has a call and response ('Go to hell' or 'to the devil with you') - who doesn't love call and response??
Heavy, you'll get a more playful response when Medic isn't hyper-focusing on the days battle plan.

what i like especially about the pronouns in the goblin emperor is that this language doesn't just have the T-V distinction (aka informal vs. formal second-person pronouns, in this case 'thou' vs. 'you'), it also has informal and formal first-person pronouns. having BOTH of these distinctions in the same language lets you fine-tune your tone by mixing and matching. with only one axis of formality, when you use informal pronouns, are you being familiar in an intimate way, or in an insolent or dismissive way? when you use formal pronouns, are you being polite or standoffish? you can't tell just from the pronouns; there's ambiguity. but a language where you can use a formal first-person pronoun in the same sentence as an informal second-person pronoun allows you to distance yourself (via the formal first) while also being familiar (via the informal second), thereby achieving the conversational tenor known to linguists as Fuck Thee Specifically.

Saw someone saying something about Vader's politics and whatever politics Anakin believed before he Fell, tbh I think Vader's politics are just depression and apathy lmao. Any politics he engaged in after are against his will or like office politics.
Except that instead of normal levels of psychological warfare against that annoying guy who keeps talking to you at the water cooler, you're a cyborg demigod who can strangle people with your mind and you and all of your coworkers are committing war crimes.

I'm sorry but some of you need to stop being so rude when it comes to terms like pred and prey or even the word vore itself. I understand you can be uncomfortable with them but it doesn't mean EVERYONE has to stop using these terms. Some people are comfortable with these terms as it's what they're used to.
Pred and prey aren't sexual terms they are just used to describe who gets eaten and who doesn't.
It's literally meant to describe animals and if they eat other animals or not.
Just because a sexual side of a community uses these terms doesn't mean they're ruined forever.
I'm not saying if you're uncomfortable with them you're weird, I'm only saying if you actively go around forcing people to stop using these words or if you make people feel unsafe in a safe space, then you are the problem here.
People have their preferences for everything. Some people don't see vore as sexual but don't care if people who do see it that way look at their stuff or interact. Some people do care and that's okay. Some people are comfortable with some words others aren't. Not everyone likes digestion and some other people do.
I just don't like how some people are going around policing each other into being completely 100% wholesome and clean. I've seen too many people get practically harrased into removing the word vore or prey and pred from their blogs just because they don't like it.
This is NOT how we take care of issues here. We are only creating a toxic environment where if you are slightly off of what everyone else wants then you are wrong.
And by the way, if you go around actively telling people they have a kink due to their use of vore or their use of pred/prey you are just as bad as the people going around saying we are posting porn despite saying over and over this is sfw.
You are causing the same problem we had before but you are "on our side"

Ryan, a 12 year old boy, isn't responsible for the choices the adults in his life make like 😭? He didn't ask to be in this situation, and he would've been happy just living with his mother, but regardless he got caught in the middle of this chaos and it's not his fault!!! None of it is </3
He's just a lonely boy wanting a normal life with a family that loves him. You can't hold that over his head, he's just a little guy

FIL loves to call us on this trip. He’ll call about everything. We’ll drop them off to rest at their hotel so we can all chill out for a while and he’ll call. He’ll call multiple times ten minutes apart to ask about the same thing we already clarified yesterday. It is more annoying than I can possibly convey to have to repeat every trip detail five million times because he’s not listening to his wife who remembers the details.
Woke up to a missed call and thought, thank you Do Not Disturb mode. You’re a hero.

not me already having to beat people on twitter away with a stick because they keep! taking! my stuff! for their dumb little dnd campaigns!!!
it's not even that bc I know it all gets taken and reposted and shared around until there's fifty degrees of separation and nobody's going to see my wishes towards how my art gets used unless I paste 'DO NOT USE FOR DND' on it (and even then theyll do it anyway) but like. i don't see that.
when someone just looks at my work and says 'wow! i am using this for me now' directly to my face it's extremely demoralizing and makes me just not want to post things if that's all they see it as :/
