#thinking about it periodically

My own personal hell is longform media that has a fascinating side character that has ALL the potential but is just HORRENDOUSLY mishandled by the writing. Meanwhile the rest of the writing is also deeply mid without any underlying potential but the side character's arc only really works as a SIDE plot and relies on the main plot still happening.

So you can't even really write a fix-it fic without putting in WAY more effort than the source material is worth. You just have to sit with the knowledge that this side plot could absolutely fuck... if you could only commit yourself to overhauling an entire TV show you barely care about.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

It would be so jarring dating Soap because he will so casually say shit like "spit in my mouth would ye bonnie?" with full sincerity at the pub. "The new nails are well braw... naw had a finger up my arse in a while hen so time tae break them in" when you are at a bloody wedding. "Dinnae take it personal LT, she's on the rag and I havnae given her head in over an hour so that's why she's bitchin'. Open up bonnie, let me make it better" as he is bullying his head between your thighs when you're supposed to be having a nice dinner at his Lieutenants house and you snap at Ghost.

Johnny just does not have an off switch nor do you think he understands the concept of public decency. But fuck he's so damn good to you and is so incredibly obsessed with making you cum that you just learn to live with the embarassment he puts you through.

it’s 2009 and jean moreau’s first game in pro league exy

he’s grieving

he’s grieving his hateful, hated ravens who fell apart after the nest closed and will never make it past the NCAA

he’s grieving his beloved trojans who saved him but he may never share the court with again

he’s grieving all he’s lost and all he will still have to give because he is jean moreau, and he always gets what he deserves

but most of all, he’s grieving because he’s expected to take his position on the court with ‘I gotta feeling’ by the black eyed peas playing in the fucking background

If you’re gonna care about prison abolition and justice you are necessarily going to have to care about the people who DID do those crimes and just want to reintegrate and live a normal life without hurting anyone. You're gonna have to be cool with the fact that the guy scanning your groceries might’ve raped someone. You're gonna have to relax about the possibility that your bank teller used to be a career criminal. The person sitting next to you on the bus might’ve committed three different murders, and as long as he's not about to commit a fourth right now, that's not your fuckin' problem. People don't disappear from society after they commit crimes, and most of them really just want to live a normal, stable life instead of going back to that. And the best way to make sure they don't relapse is to ensure they're able to live that peaceful life instead of freaking out because the guy next door used to run a dogfighting ring. You don’t have to be friends with them, you don't even have to like them, but you're gonna need to be okay with them existing in society. Sorry.

Don’t know why, but I feel like fighting.

Imagine being so mad you take on an entire gang just to vent. And when you wander back to Sylus’ base, knuckles bruised and split, lips and nose bleeding, cuts littering your face, and drenched in sweat, he’s mortified.

He treats your wounds and tenderly wraps your hands, wanting to ask what the hell happened to you but not knowing how. You’re uncharacteristically quiet; he can feel the ire drifting off you in waves. After you shower, he tucks you into bed. You still have yet to say a single word.

Later on, he finds out from Mephisto that you wiped out a rival faction just because it was a Monday.

Not a day goes by where I do not think about the advent of medicine like PrEP and wonder just what the people - especially queer people - who passed from HIV/AIDs during the AIDs crisis would think

And then, I read this survivor's testimony and it just makes me emotional. I think this is the closest answer we have. HIV has changed, and we must always remember the people who didn't see that change before it happened.

I'm rewatching GF since the whole world seems to be into it right now (thank you Alex and the Book of Bill) and AGHHH I FORGOR about the body swap episode when the twins find the secret room and Stan picks up Ford's glasses and later we see him sitting on the couch looking at them wistfully...

Shut up shut UP that's NOT okay
