but why only one slayer at a time? like it doesnt really make sense. think about how big the world is and there's only one person in the world at the time with the powers of a slayer?

like yes people can be trained in combat but The Slayer is superhuman so why is it that only person at a time is allowed to have slayer powers. Do they have to rent them out like a library book?

I know most people know this, but I need people to know that the Shondaland account where the video came from, the crew/cast... they don't set the dates. Netflix does. Netflix doesn't care about us. Netflix doesn't see us. So when angry commenters say something on someone's accounts it means nothing.. (it means nothing anyway, but if anything that's who an uproar should be aimed towards).

Because they won't care, it won't change anything, but you know what bad attention is the only thing we have. 😭😂

here’s a rant about some random facts i have stored in my head (all of these (expect maybe the first one) are quite obvious and you 99% most likely already knew it but whatever)

-if you’re ever feeling nauseous/car sick eat saltine crackers and Sprite or some soda, the carbonation will inflate the saltine crackers and the liquid in general will make the crackers dense in your stomach, making you feel like you’re full so your body won’t want to throw up anymore

-in order to make sure macaron batter is the correct consistency, you have to be able to drape the batter into the figure “8” three times without it breaking

-in medieval times, since people didn’t have toilets they would have streets dedicated to shitting. you would just stick your ass out the window and take a shit. or while you were walking down the street. some places actually still have that, but in foreign countries that i can’t entirely remember right now

-wombat poop is cube shaped

-honey never spoils, even in years time and without a secure lid

-in the rhyme “Jack and Jill went up the hill” when Jack fell down and broke his crown, they didn’t mean the royalty kind they meant the body part (i dunno, i was just so surprised as a kid when i found that out)

-the classic rhyme “ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies,” is actually based off the Bubonic Plague. a rosy was a person who was dying of the Plague, and they would keep a flower called “posies” in their pockets to help cover up the stench of their flesh rotting. then of course it was highly contagious as you know, so that explains the “we all fall down” line (again just another one i found world-shattering as a kid)

-in the original Cinderella, the stepsisters get their eyeballs plucked out by birds in the end. (i have a book, “Grimm’s fairytales”, and it has all the original fairytales, including Cinderella and such so that’s how i knew that one)

-one of my personal favorites, but in Aristocats O’Malley’s full name is Abraham Delacey Geoseppi Casey Thomas O’Malley, and each name actually from different regions of England

It's always so weird to come down from the biology heavens to see what the average person believes about animals, plants, ecosystems, just the world around them. I don't even mean things that one simply doesn't know because they've never been told or things that are confusing, I'm talking about people who genuinely do not see insects as animals. What are you saying. Every time I see a crawling or fluttering little guy I know that little guy has motivations and drive to fulfill those motivations. There are gears turning in their head! They are perceiving this world and they are drawing conclusions, they are conscious. And yet it's still a whole thing if various bugs of the world feel pain or if they are simply Instinct Machines that are Not Truly Aware of Anything At All????? Help!!!!!! How can you look at a little guy and think he is just the macroscopic animal version of a virus

Some rants about not so popular ships (to be fair it's literally the second most populer on the fandom.) The fandom is so dry hell? LIKE THERE'S NO GOOD FICS ABOUT SHIPS AND MORE INTO CHARACTERS X READERS. Don't get me wrong, if the idea original, like i would "that's not that bad." BUT BRO?? ALMOST FOR THAT 20 CHAPS ONLY COPY WRITING FROM THE WEBTOON ITSELF. HELL??? Canon divergence. Sure.. i mean don't take all the story writing to your fics. Hell it just like re read the webcomic without a picture and your oc/your name something. TAKE A CREATIVITY GOSHH.

Ao3 literally there just like idk 2 writers active.. well they did a great a job, like omg thank u. There's an AU and all, im gonna kms omg. I REALLY WANTED A GOOD FIC ABOUT MY SHIPS HELL "Why don't u write?" ALREADY DID. AND I DO MY JOB IS DONE HERE.

Im so tired.. like omg... (What did i expected from this webtoon to be fair..)

I really, really need some of you to understand that while ideologically, the Democratic Party might not a monolith (right leaning centrists to progressives exist within the same party). As an institution, the Democratic Party absolutely does function as a monolith. Whether it’s internal party discipline, donor influence, electoral strategy, or leadership pressure, there are mechanisms in place that discourage dissent and keep members in line.

A perfect example? Out of 200+ House Democrats, only 14 (less than 10%) signed a letter demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil—despite overwhelming calls from their constituents, despite the clear danger of this moment, despite knowing full well what their base is asking of them. That’s not necessarily because the other 190+ personally oppose it; but it’s def because the institutional weight of the party makes it incredibly difficult to break from leadership without facing political and financial consequences.

And yet, when people criticize this clear failure, when they rightfully demand that their representatives reflect the values they were elected on, they’re met with accusations of “helping Republicans.” That logic is not just fucking stupid—it’s actively harmful to democracy. Holding elected officials accountable is not party disloyalty - it’s literally what voters are supposed to do. It is the most basic function of political engagement. It's literally how the window gets moved!

The Democratic Party isn’t entitled to unwavering support. People criticize because they expect better, because they believe change is possible. Silence and complacency don’t strengthen the party—pressure does. Every major policy shift (labor laws, LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights etc)in this country happened because people refused to shut up and fall in line.

So no, calling out Democrats for failing their base is not "helping Republicans." What actually helps Republicans? Democrats validating GOP narratives by condemning student protesters. Democrats failing to take bold stances. Democrats making themselves indistinguishable from the people they claim to oppose.

I just wish some of you would shut the fuck up about how people approach pushing the window left so maybe we can have more than 10% of house Dems representing us.

Oughh it’s 2:00 AM and I’m having Thoughts and Emotions about Marceline the Vampire Queen. Like— she’s a punk bisexual and cool as heck but she’s also a terribly sad immortal with mom issues and double dad issues BUT BUT ALL of her parental figures gave her unconditional love so strong that it fundamentally saved the human race. Marceline saved the humans who hated her because her demon dad passed on the legacy that helped her grow powerful and her mom sang her lullabies and her adopted father clung to every shred of his breaking mind to protect her childhood. She was so loved! She was so loved! And that love never went away it stayed inside her even when all three of her parents hurt her so badly that the pain stuck for a thousand years. And all of the ways they hurt her were BECAUSE they loved her, so Marceline never learned to differentiate what it meant to love someone and hurt someone. So she hurts the people she wants to protect, she’s rough with the people she wants gentleness from, she abandons the people she wants by her side. And so much of the show is her collapsing and falling apart because she can’t figure out why why her relationships are all so broken. And then little by little she gets closure with each chapter of trauma— with her demon father, with her mother’s memory, with dear Simon— which then allows her to finally be at peace with herself and accept love— pure as it is— and give it back.

i really do think there’s a huge disconnect on here w/ people who have never used tiktok as to what it actually is and who actually uses it. the number of people i’ve seen call it a “teen dancing app” is actually insane. it has not been a teen dancing app since i was in high school, around 2016 - 2020. the main communities i saw on a daily basis were 1) black history/anti-racism educators, 2) high school & college teachers sharing in-classroom strategies and frustrations with the education system, 3) local/state political leaders giving real-time updates on behind-the-scenes government decisions, & 4) community activism & leadership. like tiktok is an adult platform. almost every person i interacted with was my age or older. and yes it completely depends on your fyp and how you interact with the app, yes there’s still teenagers and dance videos and literally anything else you can think of. but these communities of adults aren’t insubstantial at all, they have literally millions of interactions on a daily basis. there’s about a million other types of communities that i could name just off the top of my head, because the range of users was SO diverse and thriving. it’s a long-distance community tool, just like any other social media—and honestly much better than any other social media, because it relies primarily on the kindness of strangers. i saw at least 5-10 videos today of queer people in rural areas panicking because they don’t have any access to queer community on any other platform or in real life. and before i end this i do want to say i think tiktok is coming back, i think this is a highly orchestrated political move, etc., but i do know it won’t ever be exactly the same. people are panicking about free speech violations because tiktok was a place where people fucking SPEAK. i have never seen mass mobilization and communication in this same way for as long as i’ve been alive. it is the people’s app, not just a silly teenage thing. if you’re not on tiktok and never have been, please stop talking about it like you know anything at all😭

Todd doesn’t talk much in the beginning but I think one random night Todd would go on a sudden 35 minute rant while doing Latin homework about how poetic it is that the Latin word for love is amor cause it sounds like armor, and love makes you feel safe, and Neil would sit there and listen, occasionally adding in comments if it seems like Todd is winding down to get him started up again, and after that Neil tries to get Todd to go on rants whenever he can so he can just sit and listen to Todd go on, sometimes it works and sometimes, especially when they are out and Todd feels anxious, it doesn’t, but every time he does talk on for long bouts of time, Neil just thinks ‘love makes you feel safe’

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.

Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?

Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.

The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.

Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.

It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.

I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.

He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.

A reminder that lesbians need abortions too. There are tons of reasons why a lesbian might need an abortion so kindly stop saying we are lucky we don’t have to worry about the current state of the US. It’s stupid that I even have to say this and I’m tired of seeing the take that we shouldn’t have to worry about abortion access being taken away in many states.
