it's so funny to me that caleb and veth really did just trade off the job of intensely pining for the other at like the halfway point of the campaign. like, imo, nott in the early days did not behave in any real romantic or even romance-adjacent ways toward him--I imagine it would be very hard to even think in that way when you hate what you look like so much, have such low self-esteem, and are actively lying about your entire past, including a secret husband. caleb, on the other hand, is kind of diving directly back into the sort of relationship he had with astrid and eadwulf. very close, very intimate, we-huddled-for-warmth-together-and-oops-it-led-to-something-else sort of thing. he is the one who expresses that he's fine with it if people think he and nott are romantically together when they're talking to keg. nott is the one who pushes back on that. he calls her his life partner. unknowingly, he compares his feelings for nott to nott's feelings for yeza. his behavior only really starts to change after he finds out about veth's husband because suddenly all of that other stuff is rendered inappropriate in retrospect. but even then he compliments her to yeza over dinner in the most awkward of ways, he admits to being jealous, he calls yeza "a lucky man" to have her, he stares at veth and yeza closed bedroom door for far too long, he creates an entire arcane tower with room for her family just so she'll stay with him. in general, his behavior is not, um, totally and completely platonic about it, you know?

like, veth's feelings for caleb are canonical and therefore indisputable in their existence, but caleb in the early days was not that dissimilar to how veth was acting near the end of the campaign. it really paints a picture of "right person, wrong time" in the way things just didn't line up for them. or, as veth would say: "in another world, maybe"

whattt is this person trying to say 😭😭 half of the point of this minisode is aziraphale sinning conciously for the first time. like multiple times. (gluttony and lying to gabe)

yes he was busy being sad for himself. he was fully convinced he was going to fall. his faith in the almighty has just dropped significantly. he has just had one of the most universe-shattering realizations of his existence.

but yeah, he should totally be thinking of crowley right now

Busy being sad about the incredibly distressing, life-altering personal experience he'd just had.

...Yes. Yes, I suppose he was.

Any time I draw Sonic characters I curse the person who came up with their designs along with their entire lineage. This is probably why I draw Sonic fanart only every blue moon </3

I want to explain the joke to English speakers SO bad, but it'd probably take at least 5 business days if not more☹️ (exaggerating a bit, but still....sigh)

And that'd take away the fun from the funny. It'd just be...ny.

Like the noise you make when you're uncomfortable or tired or unpleased with something. "Nyuh...😒"

i see so much clary hate in the tsc fandom like calling her stupid and people saying she acts like a baby and whines too much like do some people not realize that this girl just turned 16 in cob???? like she is a baby, give her a fucking break this girl went through so much and yet still remained the biggest badass

[alaskan-wallflower]

can we just say all the outsiders universes coincide with each other and stop bitching about what’s canon and what’s not please

[godlygivenanxiety]

i don't care whatever you think, NEVER met a jilco shipper that wasn't the sweetest, nicest person that makes you feel amazing for doing something as simple as complimenting their writing or ideas. y'all fuckers could learn from that kind of respectful interaction.

Just saw someone shitting on TSOA yet again (no surprises there) about the fact that Achilles is "canonically" chestnut-haired, and that the fact that he's portrayed as a blonde must be TSOA's fault because, of course, every inaccuracy or misconception about the Iliad or Patrochilles in popular culture can be traced back to TSOA, right? And of course let's ignore the fact that many other popular adaptations like, oh, I don't know, TROY THE MOVIE which was filmed 7 years before TSOA portrays Achilles as a blonde, and that many, many artists several centuries before TSOA was written imagined him as a blonde, starting from the Romans and going aaaaaall the way to the 18th and 19th century to the present day, but let's ignore all of that for a minute, shall we?

The word used to describe Achilles in the Iliad is xanthos, which does not exactly translate as chestnut! It does not exactly translate to any colour word we have in the English language, or probably most modern languages in fact!! Greeks used certain words to describe groups of colours, so xanthos could mean anything from yellow to gold to brown, even ruddy, reddish brown or reddish gold. Translators over the years have used a number of different words to describe Achilles' hair, here are some examples from the translations I have on hand and a couple I searched for this purpose:

George Chapman (1611): yellow

John Dryden (1700): yellow

Alexander Pope (1743): golden

Samuel Butler (1898): yellow

Richard Lattimore (1951): fair

Kazantzakis-Kakridis (1955): blonde

Robert Fagles (1990): fiery

Stanley Lombardo (1997): sandy

Barry B. Powell (2013): light-coloured

Caroline Alexander (2016): tawny

Emily Wilson (2023): chestnut

So, as you can see, there have been many different variations over the years, and none of them are either 100% right or wrong! I don't know what each translator had in mind when they chose to translate xanthos the way they did, what their precise reasoning was, but what we do know is that the word has been used to describe a wealth of different shades so I'm guessing there's a degree of personal interpretation or preference at play here.

And that's all I have to say about that for the moment! Peace out ✌️

oh, you like the idea of zolu or find the fancontent cute but can't bring yourself to ship it because you HC Luffy to be aroace? (ignoring that asexuality and aromantisism exist on a spectrum. and that QPR's/relationship anarachy are a thing). should we tell everyone??? should we throw a fucking party???

people arguing about whether or not it’s problematic to ship ian and poppy, and whether or not it’s problematic for be vocally against shipping ian and poppy, in the main tag. meanwhile i am looking for crumbs of danarachel because the entire fanbase has decided they’re boring. but danarachel date night though. danarachel workplace conflict of interest. danarachel adopting a dog. so many beautiful things happening so far in season 4

Already said it on Twitter, and gonna say it here too.

The idea that stopping someone from hurting themselves (and everyone around them) and rehabilitating them is 'invalidating' their trauma is truly the most 'what in the actual fuck' BNHA take ever. Huh? Please make it make sense. Do those people also think that going to therapy and choosing not to be miserable your entire life is invalidating your own trauma? 'Oh, you're feeling suicidal due to your trauma and depression lately? Better not accept or ask for help! And if you know someone who is showing concerning signs, don't you dare try to stop and help them, and try to make them feel better, 'cause then you'd be saying that their traima doesn't matter and they should learn to act normal! You're opressing victims! >:('

The point of the bad/good victims idea in BNHA is not that 'bad' victims should be left to run amok, lash out, and self-destruct just because they're victims and this is how they express their trauma. No, the point is that despite their behavior and actions they also need and deserve help just as 'good' victims do.

'But heroes haven't showed any signs of recognising that they were wrong yet' - they literally have, that's the entire point of the hero students from the Savior Squad. And some aspects of the system ALREADY started changing - for example, finally reconnecting heroes and civilians and making the latter to start viewing heroes as just people again.

writing a long rant about how stupid it is to boast about borderlands being a woke game or whatever you wanna call it before remembering everyone left in the borderlands fandom is like 16 or are people who peaked in highschool so they still act like teenagers. i gotta remember that every time i wanna blog about borderlands. every time i see a stupid opinion. i gotta remember its probably a teenager or a self described fandom mom writing it
