Not to be that person, but if Kamala Harris were a white man with the exact same ideals, positions, and beliefs, it wouldn’t have even been a competition. Realising that the worst thing you can apparently be is a woman, is truly devastating.
#us elections#us politics#kamala harris#politics#if you want to read my little think piece just go on my page#and to the men who said this is a reductive take#you’re either too dumb or too ignorant to realise that it is a privilege that you can’t imagine people would refuse to vote a woman#simply because she is a woman#misogyny isn’t just a silly thing tumblr users complain about for the sake of complaining#it’s real and happening and dismissing its prevelance is just as misogynistic as the people refusing to vote a woman into the white house#and i‘m also not saying it was the only reason she lost but i dont think it’s wrong to note that misogyny as well as racism played a part#also fuck you if you can’t acknowledge that your fuckass country is full of white supremacists and violent misogyny#you can stay performative all you want but she did not lose because of policy america has always voted based on vibe#fucking trump got elected the first time because they wanted an authentic outsider#because in case you didn’t know he had zero political experience#plus#contrary to popular belief i actually do have a more nuanced opinion on harris than this#but i still stand by my very basic observation that america is a racist and misogynistic country#and anyone refusing to believe this is delusional xo

Hiii everyone, say, how do your Hawkes go go about sharing their estate? If they do it at all? Is everyone free to come and go or are they more private? Or do they only invite their LI to stay? I'm curious!! :)
#lay rambles#my ocs#oc: liam hawke#oc: lilian hawke#both my hawkes are very social w their friends but i love comparing their boundaries around it#theres variation in rules for specific ppl with both of them ofc but theres still general differences#with liam its all very open and everyone can p much come and go whenever#they dont get extra keys (theyll get lost and he doesnt want randos finding them lol) but they know where to find the spare key#and bodhan and sandal and orana know to let them in whenever#hes very lenient in this this regard but he does have rules abt what he does and doesnt want them to do#mostly its about not making too much of a mess lol bc liam prefers to clean himself#(he doesnt trust the crew with his household and also he has particular ways of doing things and Hates when theyre done differently)#so things like keep your dirty garb at the entrance dont cook by yourselves (this was banned after they did it one (1) time lol) etc#also no fucking allowed. do that somewhere else for the love of the maker he does NOT want to walk into that in his own house#(and it also comes back to liam not trusting them with cleaning but also Not wanting to clean that up lol)#also he is not fond of them going into his room uninvited. most of the house is chill but that is *his* space#he accommodates these rules by e.g. having spare slippers and a little washing basin in the entrance hall for dirty shoes/feet#always makes sure to have snacks in stock that he knows they like#food will have notes abt what to leave for leandra/orana/etc but otherwise food is prepared with his friends in mind#and in general he'll make sure to adjust the space/routine in little ways to accommodate them#(air out when fen isnt there cus he doesnt like drafts; keep curtains open cus anders prefers open spaces; etc)#lilian on the other hand doesnt like when her friends come into the estate without a heads up (cept for emergencies)#but once they have her 'ok' its basically mi casa es su casa#dont yknow. overdo it and get too rowdy but otherwise do whatever#however. she also expects everyone to clean up after themselves. she aint here to play maid and youre all adults#also liam has a general 'please try to not be too wild when leandra is here' and lilian doesnt#not cos she doesnt care but cos leandra is bothered by sth she can speak up herself#oh and lilian uses the basement space as temporary refuge for anyone who needs it (mostly escaped mages)#also side note: both offered gamlen to stay but he refused (out of pride/remorse)#...this got long and i ran out of tag space lmfao so this is it for now xD

Jacqueline Pearce guest stars as fashion model Leonie Peters, but it could be she's mixed up in bank robbery and murder in New Scotland Yard: The Banker (1.10, LWT, 1972)
#fave spotting#jacqueline pearce#new scotland yard#blakes 7#blake's 7#supreme commander servalan#the banker#1972#lwt#a very pleasant surprise!#coming in the middle of a fairly fallow period in Jac's career; she'd started strong‚ making a couple of films for Hammer and having notable#guest starring spots in shows like Man in a Suitcase (follow the fave spotting tag for a sight of her looking very glamorous and cute in#a pixie cut and designer dresses for that show) but after a bitter divorce she'd moved to the US for a while‚ training at Lee Strasberg's#actors studio and taking some non acting jobs. she was back in blighty by '72 (clearly) but her career had lost a little momentum; thus she#ended up with smaller supporting spots for a few years until B7 called and made her wonderfully immortal as the iconic Servalan#here she's ostensibly a model‚ but suspicions are raised when the owner of a fashion house is assassinated in broad daylight (and as one#woman police officer points out‚ rather uncharitably i thought‚ Jac is neither tall enough nor skinny enough to fit the typical#model form). cue some mystery biz‚ but it isn't really a top drawer episode‚ and Jac only has a couple of scenes to play with#she is‚ of course‚ captivating; it's her who makes the mystery really compelling‚ as her strange‚ frightened reactions draw the inevitable#questions about what's actually going on in this boutique salon. there was still a few years before the Supreme Commander would turn up#onscreen but Jac busied herself plugging away in guest spots and developing a respectable stage career

Part 2 of my set of presents for my dear @katkastrofa’s birthday, combined with a small belated commemoration of LaF’s tenth anniversary :)
I know I’ve said it countless times yesterday, but once again, happy birthday, Kat!! I hope this year brings you many, many good things, everything you deserve and so much more. Thank you for being my friend <3
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness#Lost and Found#the red lotus#P’Li#original character#LaF Lien-Hua#I find it’s better viewed with the screen brightness lowered a little :)#my first time trying for a background this detailed and I’m quite happy with the result#the house in the bg isn’t theirs#just a random one I put there to fill the space#I’m not sure what the context here is. maybe they’re walking home after playing outside all day and Lien insisted they watch the sunset#in my head this takes place.. maybe a few months Before. so it’s rather bittersweet when you think about it#but I don’t wanna focus on that for now#originally I just redrew my RL week young P’Li piece for fun. it wasn’t gonna be a gift#but then I realised I didn’t have the spoons the complete my original gift idea#so I decided to add in lien-hua and in the process of colouring decided there should be a background#and I’m very very happy with how it turned out#so I hope you like this too <3#I don’t have time to rant in the tags much longer bc I have to get to grandma’s#but I’m getting rather emotional over little P’Li#over Lien too but I’m always emotional over her. she’s always a small child in my mind#P’Li is usually an adult. or at least 15 like in LaF#here’s she’s what. 11? a baby. she doesn’t know what fate has in store for her yet#so for now.. she’ll play outside and watch the sunset with her sister. completely none the wiser to what awaits#and maybe in another world… it could have stayed this way forever#okay I’m gonna stop before I start crying#a gutpunch for a hornykick. a fair trade off. no? 😁

thinking about. narukami arashi. in all her messy self. augh...
#i love her sm and its like way beyond the queen girlboss thing#i have yet to read much of her in the !! stories cuz im catching up slowly but#at least in what ive read so far. shes such a wonderful character. full of duality#shes caring shes distant shes cute and dainty she could beat your ass shes confident shes insecure shes collected shes impulsive#she wants to be loved and love as well but she knows it's painful to chase after someone... to lose people... its painful and scary...#i love how she insists on being there for mika bc she already lost someone to her self centeredness. she will reach out.#she will not allow herself to miss her friends' pain again#but also she keeps her distance... leo had to literally shake her pain out of her...#in ! even though eeeveryone is mean and transphobic she keeps smiling and doesnt push the issue#even tho it hurts her sm to be constantly invalidated...#(yes ik its a good bit of retcon shut up)#even though shes so confident in herself. she still cowers at the thought of being rejected and ostricized.#tbh i love knights in general. the overarching theme of “individualists”#but theyre all just. deeply lonely and unloved people#theyre sticking close and playing family but theyre all terrified deep down its all a house of cards...#i need to read the model trio lookback. i need little nacchan and the birth of her insane crush on the teacher guy.#(also tbh i stand by nacchan being thw most normal knights member. even her crush is Just Girlhood Things)#(like cmon who didnt know a girl who had a delusional crush on someone older. i knew like 10 girls like that#its only the child model part that makes her unusual. between a rich nobleson a yandere tsundere model#a genious lunatic composer a vampire chuunibyou guy and a child model tgirl. whos the most normal)#enstars#arashi narukami

— Are you sure Burke wants to buy Collinwood? — Yes, he said so. I'm just afraid it's only the beginning of what he wants.
#76.#➤ roger collins & victoria winters & burke devlin. ┊ to know how it ends‚ and still begin to sing it again.#gifs.#➤ edits & art. ┊ the evans cottage art gallery.#➤ roger collins. ┊ I and my ghosts want a drink.#➤ victoria winters. ┊ because she’s lost and lonely. because she looks in shadows.#➤ re: burke devlin. ┊ I am stranded in a hungerland of great prosperity.#I just think about Lou’s acting choices a lot.#the little pleading pout he gives her … the yearning after her... the fussing that she's talking to burke in the doorway...#and the way vicki holds eye contact with him ... hhhh.#and this is sandwiched between talking to her on the cliffs and taking her out to the blue whale !! (i think all the same day?)#it's just so... impactful. that this is blocked in the threshold.#lingering between burke and roger; the drawing room and foyer; pulled to either side by two versions of what happened ten years ago.#roger tugging (forcefully) at her loyalty to the collins family and her gratitude for giving her a home and family;#burke tugging her sympathies because he also wants a home; roots; a big house to raise his kids in — he's alone in the world like she is.#[heathcliff] is more myself than i am!#and you can see the realization on his face that should burke tug her too far;#roger's cord of communion will snap and he will take to bleeding inwardly.#vicki by nature of her character not only responds to truth with her favor — but; conversely; by giving her favor creates truth.#when she likes and trusts and wants to spend time w/ roger he fares very well: a breakfast date where she supplies him with an alibi —#a dinner date that covers up his perjury meeting. vicki's good opinion is indispensable for his survival —#the very minute he loses that — when she is certain he's bill's murderer — she turns on him and so does everyone else and he immediately#loses his freedom (albeit only temporarily held at the police station rather than 5 years in prison)#she's not literally taken laura's place with them — but it's remarkable how much her romantic intentions influence the outcome of that#decade-old case; in just the same way that laura choosing roger as her husband and supplying truth through her testimony lead to#burke's condemnation before. it's much the same game roger is playing at this point in the story (at a significant disadvantage#to last time; because he can't offer vicki — penultimate Good Girl — a ring)#vicki's heart; affection; attraction; tied up fundamentally in Justice. and her position as narrator#making it all the more compelling that she writes Truth as vicki is navigating who *very literally* holds the Pen.#burke's story or roger's story? burke's [redacted] or roger's [redacted]?

Hello friends I had a very nice day today :)

I put Geordi in a food storage container in the fridge like two weeks ago thinking that surely someone would clean it out or pick up the container and notice there was nothing but a little plastic action figure in it at some point. After three days, I started moving the container to the front every time I get something out of the fridge. I even called my sister a few days ago before she made dinner and asked her to clean out the old leftovers. BUT HE'S STILL IN THERE. NO ONE HAS FOUND HIM YET. WHAT HINT AM I SUPPOSED TO DROP NEXT. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY GET MORE OBVIOUS.
#pickle pontificates#for those not in the loop my dad had a little 3 inch tall geordi laforge action figure that he probably got in his 20s#when my sister and I were little we used to incorporate him and worf and spock in with our polly pockets#but at some point we started playing this irl where's waldo type game where we hide/pose geordi around the house#and whoever finds him is the next one to hide him#unofficial rules are that he has to be in a place where someone could feasibly discover him (no back of the closet or storage boxes)#and whoever hides him is not allowed to straight up say where he is#this game has been going for literal years and he has actually gotten lost a couple times but he always turns up again#and this is probably a contender for the longest he's ever been legally hidden in one spot#the amount of star trek tng i have seen is minimal so geordi is more this guy to me than his actual character

Oh mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the house of The Rising Sun
#okay but can we agree? House of the rising sun? beautiful amazing incredible timeless masterpiece? yeah?#all i want is to put on a cute 70s dress with the bell sleeves and some gogo boots and get my hair all pretty with the flip curls#and go to one of those really cool and dark and lowkey shady bars you see on the movies. with a pool table and a jukebox#hard-looking bartender with an impressive mustache named Mitch or Hank#and go up to the bar and he'd be like “whatya having doll?” “oh. anything sweet please”#and he hands me some soda-gin or whatever with a lemon slice. and the guy next to me notices my drink and is like#“hey Mitch. give the lady something nicer eh? maker a double from the back shelf. extra ice”#“i'm fine with this actually. i don't drink whiskey” “tonight you do sweetheart”#and he's wearing some really nice jeans and boots and a dark shirt and a leather jacket. dark hair but has some freckles. charming smile.#“what is a pretty thing like you doing in a place like this? i think them church youths go bowling next door”#“i am not lost. can't a girl enjoy some music” “does the boyfriend know?” “i answer to no one”#and he takes a long drag of his cigarette and chuckles. Mitch brings my new drink as gives him a look before drafting some beer#“so. the pretty lady likes a little danger eh?” “the lady has a name” .#i take a sip of the whiskey and try real hard not to cough. he thinks it's funny. i think he's a little cute#“does she now? and does the lady dance by any chance” and he's standing up quite tall and offers me a hand “she does”#and we go to the dance floor near the jukebox where quite a lot of people are dancing and eventually this song starts playing#and he kisses me surprisingly gentle and tastes like menthol cigarettes and hard liquors and I'm definitely a bit dizzy from the drink#he probably has a cute name like Daniel (Danny is what everyone calls him)#and maybe he has a bike or a really nice convertible. obviously red. je offers to take me home but we're just driving for a bit instead#“didn't you daddy taught not to get into stranger's cars?” “my daddy also taught me not to kiss pretty boys and yet”#“so you think i'm pretty?” “pretty enough”#and we laugh to the wind and the radio is on and this song starts playing again and it's a perfect moment#anyways. great song great band 👍#darya's mixtape#Spotify

FINAL FANTASY IV BEST FINAL FANTASY!!!!!!
Tbh I don't even remember why I bought IV on the GBA over V (I LOOOOVE EXDEATH) but I made it to the part where you meet Sage Tellah in the cave and stopped in that safe room right before the boss fight in the cave. The plot has me really interested in where it's gonna go though; having the protagonist slaughter like two entire villages back to back right at the start of the game is a WILD hook lol
I also appreciate getting to play an adult that's fully aware of what's going on in a FF game for once haha Though, I've beat 7 and 8, most of 10, and played only a bit of 9, 10-2, 5, and 15 so I know 4 isn't the only FF that doesn't have a young/naive protag.
Cecil looks cool affff
hell yeah
#asks#Imo his paladin design is a little bit of a downgrade but I'm sure it'll grow on me once I find out why it happens#4 is one of the FF games I like NEVER see anyone talk about EVER#But it sort of seems like its original release was a little bungled here in the west? So maybe that's why#I wish I'd beaten 10 back when I first played it but I got stuck on a boss and then I ended up moving houses and never got back to it :(#10 gets memed on really hard but honestly it's got some of my favorite art direction in the whole FF series. It's so unique/pretty#7 is iconic of course. I liked 8's character writing/development a lot more though but 7's art beats it#I reeeeaaalllly wanted to get into 9 because the art direction in that one is super unique too but... Zidane lost me... I'm sorry.........#If I had to order the FF games I've played at least some of from most to less-most favorite I'd probably list them like:#8; 7; 10; 15; 5; 9; 10-2#The positions of 5; 9; and 15 would probably be different if I'd played more of them. Especially 5#None of them are really 'bad' though like I don't think Final Fantasy as a series is even capable of missing haha

the gaps between when me and my best friend text are getting wider and it's making me very sad
#i don't know what's going on in their life. they don't know about mine#i see them again and 3938584839 new things have happened and im just like.#remember during the pandemic when we video chatted every night and played minecraft together and were stupid kids who shared dumb secrets#-and were cringe and weird and remember when we were little kids swinging on my swingset at my old house before my parents split#or when we walked to the beach together last summer and got lost.#and now i don't know anything. there isn't any memories to make. i don't remember the last time i saw them in person#and when we do see each other it devolves into silence now. not giggly conversatiom#fuck.

Play for Today: Under the Hammer (BBC, 1984)
"So. Tell me what happened."
"Well. It was me. I kicked it."
"Any particular reason?"
"I lost my temper."
"Who with?"
"I was having a... discussion about the painting and things to do with the painting with McClaren, sir, and, uh... it got out of hand."
"And you kicked the painting?"
"Yes, sir."
"Instead of kicking McClaren?"
"Yes, sir."
"I wish you'd kicked McClaren."
"So do I, sir."
#under the hammer#play for today#single play#bbc#1984#richard wilson#stephen fagan#classic tv#peter vaughan#michael aldridge#james maxwell#peter bayliss#stanley lebor#robert putt#bernard gallagher#david cardy#christopher fulford#harry ditson#john tallents#jill meager#delightfully drily witty play that's a sort of comedy of manners concerning the people involved in the upcoming sale of a potentially fake#van gogh at an auction house. at the beginning it seems like this might be a kind of upstairs downstairs piece‚ contrasting the lowly#porters who arrange and prepare the exhibition of sale contents with the posh managers and experts who float around inbetween them#that element remains but is sidelined a little to focus more on Vaughan's head porter and one moment of lost control which has far reaching#consequences for everyone. Vaughan is as excellent as he always was‚ a tragic portrait of quiet dignity meeting sheer pigheadedness and#unbending yet naturally servile nature. Aldridge and Maxwell‚ tho‚ are the scene stealers as the owner (?) and head expert of the auction#house respectively‚ a pair of upper class grotesques who nevertheless display surprising nuance and depth as the plot develops#(particularly Maxwell). less politically motivated than many PfTs (not that it is at all apolitical: communism‚ the soviet union‚ wartime#looting and princess Diana all figure into the story) but a genuinely very compellingly told and entertaining play that manages moments#of real sharp comic dialogue alongside a gloomier slant on the inevitability of dishonest dealings at every level

eleven year old megumi was a nico di angelo kinnie. i know this in my soul
#listen. they're both gay. they both have shadow powers. they both have an older sister who they want(ed) nothing more than to save but#don't/didn't have the power to prevent tragedy from playing out. their fathers wanted to use them for their own gain. they're both emo.#hello grace here#okay no but just. imagine little megumi seeing nico and being like wow!! shadow powers!! he's just like me!!#and then house of hades comes out and nico's revealed to be gay and it's like the first canon queer rep megumi's seen and it's a character#who he already adores and relates to and yeah gojo and his friends aren't straight but nico's closer to megumi's age; he's a kid too and !!#(and then tsumiki falls into a coma and he's like wow. now i've even lost my sister like nico :/)#also the post specifies eleven year old megumi but he still is a nico kinnie at age 15#he just doesn't show it anymore#but if yuuji ever mentions pjo in front of him. the pretense is over

talking RP makes me miss my little idiot who larps as a human from a regency era novel but has no fucking idea about anything at all.
#i am apparently incapable of having normal characters#cause this guy is like a weird little fairy freak from this liminal realm between faerie and earth#where everything lost ends up#and he found a vanished country house that had been left to rot in this like trash heap world#and just moved in and started playing pretend#cause he's so fucking alone and disconnected#and everything he learnt about humans was from the books in the library#so there's nothing modern#and he's piecing together modern humans from the trash they lose#and then he decides to start selling the better lost stuff back to people at carboot sales and markets#and living his best dodgy antique dealer life#and his physical appearance is like purposefully anachronistic against the personality he pretends to have#because the only humanoids he'd actually seen in person before making up his appearance were scavengers and looked rough#every oc I make is a mountain biking vampire witch from the future#and i don't fucking regret a thing#my favorite genre of character is : wtf is going on - but like - personified#followed closely by: im so fucking angy because i can't process grief#and then finally: dog
