#that's what it's ABOUT

thinking abt this one negative review of ghosts i saw ages ago saying that mike & alison aren't believable or that charlotte & kiell don't have any chemistry or something LIKE ??? GIRL one of kiell's answers for what he's gonna miss the most about making the show was "just being in the car with charlotte"

the thing is i think i am approaching my hockey rpf from the place of a person who's been obsessed w baseball movies their whole life. like i know there's a consensus desire on here for people to get grimier & weirder w their hrpf and i respect y'all but what i Truly Want from sports media (the hockey rpf is sports media for the sake of this text post) is a true underlying Romance. the romance doesnt have to necessarily be about whatever relationship is going on there but i do want grand sweeping emotions that the characters generally welcome even if they don't really Get. yk.

ffs, if i see one more political pundit or left/liberal dumbass opine sagely on how it's the economy, stupid, and trump voters are driven by economic anxiety and income inequality, i might just PUT OUT MY EYES.

pro-tip: it's really REALLY NOT economic anxiety. it's misogyny and racism and transphobia and smug selfish hateful thwarted superiority and toxic masculinity, although I realize everybody would rather pull out their lungs through their noses with pliers than actually let those words pass their lips, as they've made eminently clear not only in the aftermath, but also throughout the campaign and for years beforehand.

"economic anxiety" and "income inequality" are fig leaves. stop carrying water for bigots by amplifying their self-soothing lies.

Aww, thank you, anon! We did 😊 Billy even had a festive meal, thanks to my sister-in-law. It was a very nice evening.

I hope you had a nice Christmas as well, anon!!

I don't really have a point but like...if anyone wanted an excuse to gift things/support each other while also learning about another culture...mayhaps we could celebrate together...haha unless

......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"

*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all

I think we're too harsh on medieval painters because this is legitimately what some poodle mixes look like

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

being a writer leads to a genuinely helpful but also very stupid kind of mindfulness where you'll be having a sobbing breakdown or the worst anxiety attack of your life and think "okay, I really need to pay attention to how this feels. so I can incorporate it into my fanfiction."

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

If that doesn't have potential for some fairytale nonsense, I don't know what does.
