Haven't been able to think about anything other than the victorian/edwardian/WW1 twink and his 80's punk almost-boyfriend for a week, send help

NGL I have STRONG opinions about digital releases omitting the letters to the editor section of older comics. I feel like the letters are a part of comic history and should be aggressively preserved.

For those curious, here’s the boys full interview from my local news channel’s YouTube:

(literally minutes later)

Hell of a thing to say on the hit musical puppet show that brought us The Vore Hippo Song, Bergara.

you aren’t the real Shakespeare he’s dead. Why would you pretend to be a historical figure that’s evil.

get unfollowed

i feel like the real question here would be why you were following me in the first place tbh

Jack au where he's a psychic who can commune with ghosts. Almost every major character from Supernatural is a ghost. Including Sam Dean and Cas. This would serve these major tennants of his relationships:

Isolated. The people Jack spends the majority of his time with are NOT part of the normal world. Sam, Dean, Cas and Mary live in a bunker and don't know how to be people. The AU hunters are literally from another world. His mom is dead. Kaia is split between realms. The only Real people he knows well are his young adult nerd friends and arguably Harper. You don't want 1/4 of your tie to reality to be a witch who wants to be Cheryl Blossom from Riverdale as her life's aspiration. That's no way to live!

Intangible. Because of Jack's immense power, he is, in a sense, untouchable. He is stopped when people hug him or push him or shoot him because he chooses to stop. There is a veil between him and them. There is also a scarcity of common ground. There is nothing else out there like him. Dean might stomp and bark and howl but, ultimately, what can he do to Jack physically? Nothing. The only power the ghosts have is emotional and social. Imagine being outcasted by the ghosts who can only see you and each other. Ouch!

Fleeting. Everyone he cares for is doomed to die. This happens even before he's born with Cas and Kelly and Mary, but also throughout his life. He both has long strings of tragedy in short periods AND he's immortal and worries about it. Loss and loniness are inevitable for him on a massive scale. Cas might claim that he'll be there with him but he dies like twice a year at least. Picture ghost!Cas midway through a reassuring speech that he's always going to be there with him fading out into the veil mid-sentence.

Guilt-ridden. Life is wasted on the living, isn't it? Youth is wasted on the young. He's got dozens of ghosts needing him to live in the way they want him to so they can feel alive again, and he's not capable of being that (literal) lifeline. He needs to learn how to say no and stick to it. He needs to learn how to live with the fact that he has to disappoint people to live well sometimes. He has to engage with the living, because the dead are going to kill him if he hangs on to them too long.

So if someone could write this devestating yet beautiful 25k+ fic for me that'd be really swell.

whhaaaat people actually like bunny corcoran 😳😳😳 that’s so disgusting and horrible…anyways look at my posts about the other awful characters that i love from that book🥺❤️

I aspire to draw boobs the way only women can draw boobs. And the way Michelangelo definitely can't.

I don't like the fact that Paul McCartney and John Lennon were more than just good friends is becoming a mainstream position. This is what George Orwell was warning people about with 1984...Total societal collapse.

I know it's tempting to think that if Game of Thrones was released today that HBO would encourage the same "choose your favourite war criminal" discourse by gutting the characterization for the "misunderstood" Lannisters and disregarding the actual themes of the source material in favour of trying to twist GRRM's critiques of the great man view of history and the underlying anti-war sentiment into a full on (but not fleshed out) theme about how "everyone is in the wrong."

But they wouldn't. And you know exactly why they wouldn't.

=Saw a tag on a Miquella art that called him a "little weirdo" and you know what? He is a weirdo. He's A Little Fucked Up™. He's one unnerving smile away from razing the Lands Between and I love it.=

seen so many takes like this lately that make me want to rip my hair out like. yeah cabaret is meant to make you uncomfortable. but its the slow-building fascism hidden in plain sight thats meant to make you uncomfortable. not the opening number where you’re meant to feel welcomed into this place of solace.

I looked up Henry Clay on tumblr and found all of the goofy RPF-type stuff I was hoping for—but weirdly taking place during the last decades of his life, when Clay looked like an unhappy dehydrated skeleton, as opposed to when he was actually cute.
