I get that calling white lotus lbh a sticky little 'sheep' is a canon translation and stuck in the fandom now anyway, but I do feel the intended spirit of the original word wasn't the sheeple/dumb herd animal that's more common in the western world, but instead something actually conveying sweetness, innocence, purity and youth - lamb.
Famous for being utterly adorable and following around their mothers, gambolling in sunny meadows, curly white wool shining.
And NOW we can talk about black sheep/wolf in sheep's clothing metaphors.

I had the bright idea to sell my Taylor merch at an artist market thing (my friend curates them around Brooklyn and asked me to) and let me tell you there is NOTHING more embarrassing than being a Swiftie in public when no one else is

something about rhaenyra and motherhood, something about the fact she’s the first of the targaryens we know of who’s death at the hands of a dragon she’s explicitly torn apart and eaten. that she died with her surviving child watching who goes onto be known as the dragonbane – the fact sunfyre showed no interest in her at first until they cut her breast. the fact aegon had to be torn from her arms and was made to watch
#her and motherhood is so fascinating because like Jesus . like she was genuinely traumatized by aemma’s fate#like it’s such a genuine tragedy that felt so needless to her if he was just going to name her anyway and she’s just so#AFRAID of the birthing bed#and her boys survive ! She has the sons she needed but they’re immediately called bastards and common looking and plain and targeted for#their illegitimacy#they come for her post partum body they come for her freshly born infant’s nose shape as if all newborn’s don’t have a pug nose#and then they become a source of strength and love and such a genuine comfort for her#the first pure feeling of joy she had in years#and then she has two more ! and she’s about to have her daughter and she loses her horrifically over a three day stillbirth#and we’re told from the jump how devastated she was by visenya#and how luke fractured her even further - how he broke her even further#and she never purposefully sends them into danger but they’re all ripped from her anyway#no matter what she does they’re ripped from her and they die#and there’s nothing left of luke. Nothing left of jace. Nothing left of viserys. Joffreys body was near decapitated they were sawing at his#feet to take his boots and at his hands for his rings there’s a sword in his belly#and then all she wants to do is go home. she wants to go home and protect her last surviving child#she wants them to be safe she sells her crown so they can be safe and walks into a trap blindly because dragonstone was always safe#and she gets torn apart. She gets torn apart#she loved them so much she loved them with everything she had it wasn’t enough#they all died

I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron (apart from I skipped some overly long action sequences) and I am not sure so can someone tell me whether or not Tony Stark was the baddy in that film? Because about halfway through I was sure he was but then it was maybe just an evil robot after all and I am confused because either this film was surprisingly subversive or it was about robots hitting each other.
#I CANT STAND THE CONFUSION IN MY MIND#also i get why people wrote wanda/sylvie. they should go on a wholesome chick-flick revenge-quest together. and also they should kiss.#also i am now only *half* joking about thor being in love with mjolnir#it kept doing Christianity Bits which was quite awks.#not sure why it used the bit about building the church on a rock for some metal i mean wasn't jesus making a pun there? about peter?#i think Vision might be Jesus? or else he's Dr Manhattan who's done a first year philosophy course. could go either way on that tbh.#BUT TONY WAS THE BADDY RIGHT? WAS HE? WAS TONY THE BADDY OR NOT????#with the homocidal glitches in what he thinks is his winning personality?#and all the weapons he's made and is in fact still making but now he only sells them to The Good Guys?#except look how easily they fall out with each other and also don't a lot of innocent bystanders die in their overly long action scenes?#also i need to write fic about whether mjolnir does in fact obey some unknown code that can be cracked if you set your mind to it#she does like Robot Jesus so apparently we can rely on her to make the major decisions from now on#the ending's a bit ominous - apparently someone's collecting those TVA paperweights to do... something? Oh no! :O#yeah i watched the MCU in the wrong order shut up this was inevitable and Marvisney should just embrace that at this point#(i know 'Marvisney' will never catch on but that will not stop me using it)#the loki series ending is but the latest installment of “unlimited power with no oversight is fine as long as the Good people have it”#UNLESS TONY WAS ACTUALLY THE BADDY. WHICH AS I MENTIONED I AM NOT AT ALL CLEAR ON.#maybe what i mean is was tony stark the baddy *on purpose*?#i only picked this one to watch next because tumblr gifsets told me thor wears a nice coat in it#which he does! but only for a small fraction of the film :(#journey into the mcu#the avengers (the marvel ones not the other ones)

Finnie --
Finnie those tags --
What's the story?
OK WELL OK SO i have a bad habit of answering the door and then i'm too polite because i get stuck in the cycle of mimicking and i also have no spine
so one day this guy came to the door and he was like "are you registered to vote" which now that i think about it there wasn't an election on but i was like "oh no i don't think i am" and he said "i can register you no worries!!"
so i gave him my full name and my date of birth and then my national insurance number and he went "haha that's a nice easy one to remember" and i was like "it is!!" and i was excited that someone had noticed because i always think that!!
and then my husband came home and i was SO proud of myself like "hey guess what i'm registered to vote now so that's one less problem" and he was like "how did you do that?" because i don't like doing online forms usually without someone there to watch me and i was like "a man did it at the door" and he said "what man?" and i said "... the man" and he asked what credentials the man had and i said he had a lanyard and a clipboard and an ipad and my husband was like "... i have a lanyard and a clipboard and an ipad"
so now i'm not really supposed to open the door and tell people things about myself :3

I genuinely don’t understand character salters. Like, it’s been years why do you still care that this specific character has flaws. No one’s saying you have to like them.
Also it’s kinda embarrassing for you. Like, you’ve been spamming how much you hate this character in the character’s tags everyday, do you really think you won’t be fought on it? That people will agree when you compare this character with real life fascists… that’s so creepy to me. Live and let live… 😑

Okay, I just found out that historically Mary was between fourteen and fiteen yo when the archangel Gabriel gave her the pregnancy news. My whole Jesus is somewhat real on Good Omens so how did THAT conversation went made me actually more curious now because it's not only Good Omens Gabriel gives bonkers news to a human but Good Omens Gabriel gives bonkers news to a teenager.

Foreman being like ‘I’m letting you know how far he is from human’ when talking to Chase and Cameron about House’s refusal to go to his father’s funeral
Wilson listening to House detail all the ways his father abused him and still insisting that he go to the funeral, to the extent of literally kidnapping him and holding his painkillers hostage to pressure him into going
WHY DOES NO ONE UNDERSTAND THAT HE OWES NO RESPECT TO HIS DEAD ABUSIVE FATHER
OR KINDNESS TO HIS MOTHER WHO LET IT HAPPEN

One of the most interesting things about religion to me is that so many people don’t even see the mental gymnastics they are doing to try and shape the biblical texts into a framework that is acceptable in the modern day and it comes out looking like something that none of the authors would have approved of.
#not to mention that they were written by authors at different times and for different purposes#so they say lots of different things#which makes it easy to pick and choose the interpretation that best matches what you want#like the ‘one man one woman’ definition of marriage that doesn’t exist literally anywhere in the Bible#women were property and men could have as many as they wanted#but then once the Greeks influenced them a bit in the New Testament it says leaders of the church should have one wife#so that means the Bible is against polygamy even though every man in the Bible had multiple wives#or the people that say the Bible is against slavery#even though there is literal chattel slavery described in the Old Testament with commands on how to do it#and in the new testament slaves are told to obey their masters#then they say that they aren’t slaves just servants#which is completely false#it reminds me of how so many Protestants are vehemently against alcohol#so whenever the Bible refers to wine in a good context they say it’s juice#and whenever it’s bad it is wine#even though several different words are used that basically all refer to fermented alcoholic wine#they translate them all differently as needed#like how Jesus said sell all your belongings and give them to the poor#then the Bible tells how literally all of the early Christians sold all their possessions and donated the money#and now people say that just means to be generous#and then don’t even leave a tip at a restaurant because they hate handouts

Hopping into your inbox about the college tuition thing: the cost is a big reason why academic performance is so stressed in high school. Better grades equals a better chance at getting a scholarship directly from your chosen college/university, which means paying less out of your own pocket. But yeah...this is why the "broken college student" is such a trope in U.S. media. And why burnout in high school students is so prevalent. So fun :) I love it here :)
😭 that sucks omg. college students are broke here too but it's much easier to get your tuition fully paid off by the state. and even if u pay your own tuition it's... comparatively not as insane amount of money as in america. like yeah i fully wouldn't be able to afford it because i'm broke but looking at THOSE numbers it's practically nothing. what the fuckkkk i'm so sorry for you guys
