#thinking too hard about the old men

[stan-squared]

Stan kissed like he spoke, confident and brash and dragging Ford along for the reckless ride. He kissed with the silver tongued suave of a sales pitch, a promise of more. The promise of big and bold and all he couldnt possibly achieve, paid for only by the gullible but Ford found himself for once a believer. He kissed with the wild, rambling abandon of every story hed ever told and here Ford was, clinging to every word. Hed believe anything Stan told him, if only to keep those lips on his.

Ford kissed like he spoke, cautious and testing. It could be considered hesitant, but Stan knew every move was deliberate, calculated. He kissed like Stan was a subject, pinning him and noting every miniscule reaction. Breaking down the best ways to take him apart and Stan was happy to give him every bit of evidence it took to leave him thinking of nothing but that touch.

What do you mean “Fantasy doesn’t count as real literature.” Great, Thanks. Have fun reading another white man complain about fincial issues and how women are “too promiscuous these days.” I’m going to go read a cool werewolf book, and guess what, it’s all a metaphor about racial inequites specifically via schooling as a result of colonialism. AND it has a cool map at the begininng. So suck it.

Also, even if I were rereading twilight, atleast im not pretending to enjoy myself reading catcher in the rye. I read 40 books last year, predominantly classics and basically? Not a single one was as interesting as Edward and Bella. 🤷

[Id from alt. 1. A surprised assistant manager Zura blushing, with teary eyes and stars around him. He's wearing a party hat and there are birthday decorations behind him. He's saying "you baked me a cake?" 2. Tatsuma, Gintoki and Takasugi standing side by side. Tatsuma has his arms crossed grinning with a satisfied expression on his face. The words "Bought the ingredients" point out of him. Gintoki, with a blank expression is wearing a frilly apron and holding a cake with Sadaharu's face on it. The words "reluctantly bake it" point out of him. Takasugi is looking slightly embarrased, with his left hand on the back of his head and his right hand full of little bandages; his face has spots of powdered sugar. The words "cut the stencil and made powdered sugar rain" point out f him. End Id.]

Well, happy birthday, assistant manager Zura!

Young Padawan Bastila: *in every possible way tries to wriggle out of awkward situations and questions or avoid detailed answers to questions about Revan*.

Wise Master Vrook: Well, if we start training you, how can we make sure the Dark Lord won't return? We're not certain that Revan is truly dead!

Amnesiac Revan: ...

Master Vrook: Obviously, we don't trust you!

Amnesiac Revan: ???

I'm so tried of the response to the new Dragon Age game. You can't criticise decisions or the writing without being lumped in with bigots unless you caveat a hell of a lot, which fewer and fewer online spaces allow for. I'd say this is by design but I don't know if the people fanning the flames and pushing this bigotry are that smart.

It's been in development hell for a decade, cancelled and revived, stopped and started over from scratch multiple times, was infamous for staff turnover, and had senior staff quit the first time it was cancelled then EA fired 50 more people which included senior developers who had worked on previous Dragon Age games. The reason given was EA wanted to be able to "pivot faster" but it's pretty obvious they wanted to get rid of people who had the experience and seniority to push back against decisions.

Because the game very much looks like what happens when execs want to chase trends rather than let developers do what they have experience doing or what customers expect from a franchise name.

But once again the focus isn't on major issues with the AAA publishing industry or MBAs calling shots, it's about a non-issue that's a symptom of that at most and it prevents actual criticism from getting through.

imagine for a moment. A world where sunny came out like 15 years earlier. exactly the same show but macdennis was born in the world of fanzines and newletters so all the fanart of them boning each other is done in the weird photorealistic pencil drawn style you get in old fashioned zines and such. where the faces are always nearly there. but not quite right bc they didnt have google images

think about it man!!!!!!!!!! we used to be a real country

This is technically a Diana's age poll but I framed it partially around Julia's rescue because that's the event I need to contextualize and whether or not Diana is a thing yet is p important for my purposes. I would keep the Pérez run and postcrisis continuity in mind when answering this bc that's when this is relevant but I'd keep in mind that even though Diana is very young there (like early 20s) we don't know I don't think if she ages differently as a child (esp as a themysciran AND being made from clay) and in some versions she is older than she looks and was made earlier

Edit: I accidentally logic-ed this out in the tags lol 🤦‍♀️but feel free to still vote however you want. Going to publish this anyway bc I think I made some good points later in my tags

im seriously so obsessed with brassius and hassel’s “transgenders who met when they were in their teens/early 20s, sought solace in each other while going through the toughest times of their lives, then made it into adulthood, which eternally bonded their souls” energy

How is it that after watching The Terror literally countless times, I still want to rewatch it?

[nonbinaryphantom]

everything i think about the logistics of the ecto acts/giw/ecto research both canon and fanon i have to point to myself in the mirror going this isnt supposed to be realistic it isnt supposed to be accurate and doesnt account for societal implications as well as the law making process pointing at my fucked up reflection and breaking glass

me telling lindy i think his lines are batshit crazy and he's showing chronic signs of overthinking that will absolutely cook us because he's acting moronic and it doesn't need to be this goddamn complicated and he needs to seriously consider seeking all kinds of help and i'm coming for his fucking job and tom fitzgerald will be hearing from me and i will win us the cup and here's how
