soooo I binged the Devil in Ohio and now I’m just mad

- make the origin story of an evil cult two persecuted fleeing from genocide Irish Jews? Check.

- that same group of Irish immigrants also somehow retained Gaeilge as their language despite not a single Irish American immigrant doing so? For added pagan feeling spooks? Check.

- the pronounciation of Diabhail. It’s just. Divil. Divilment, being a divil. That’s how you say it. Check I guess.

- the innocent wife of Seamus (Americans I’m begging you pick a different Irish name there are more than that one and ones that I actually hear when I walk around! You’ll hear Paddy more than Seamus I swear to you). being called MARY. Seamus means JOSEPH. This was a not so subtle hint that Mary and “Seamus” represent Catholicism. Meaning they only worshipped Yahweh so that you knew that Caleb, the Jewish named one, was Jewish. (I’m abandoning the check system leave me alone)

- they wanted Irish catholics as the persecuted innocents w/o having them have a made up blood association w/ the evil Jewish cult leader. The irish Jews didn’t wipe out Irish catholics in a manufactured famine!!! It was British Protestants!!!

- the poor abused cult escapee being reframed as a villain because she, lemme check real quick… risked her own life returning to a cult with the barest of hopes that someone care enough to come save her????

- Jules’ friend being mad he isn’t the centre of Jules’ attention

- Jules’ being mad that the girl who clearly adores her is… traumatised and being given affection by her peers for it

- the lesbian sister saying “she’s working mom” when all she did was, let’s remember, own up to releasing a photo of herself to help Jules

- the dad being a prick

- the PARENTS abandoning their TWELVE YEAR OLD and her nearly dying and them both agreeing it was Mae’s fault?????

- the hint that this is a supernatural show. And then being like SIKE

Am I supposed to turn on a teenage victim??? Am I meant to take the side of petty irritating people??? Like what??

Just started generic vyvanse and wow. No wonder it changed lives. They say it lasts more than 4 to 6 hours and then it DOES? Most adhd meds I've tried will wear off in 4 or 5 hours, so I'd often have to take another dose later in the day, but this shit keeps me going for a good 10-13 hours!

(This is just my experience! I'm just a guy I'm not a doctor disclaimer so uh don't take my word as law lol)

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

– What's keeping us apart ain't even real, your daddy, his religion, it's got nothing to do with us. – It's not just his, it's mine too. I've got the same spirit in me, why don't you see that?

obsessed w the scene where wei wuxian goes to jinlintai to ask about wen ning, because when he comes in, while he Has sort of crashed their party, he is still, Technically, following all of their social rules. he's polite, and courteous, and respectful. he tries to speak with jin zixun away from everyone else first, he's well spoken and appropriately vague, he doesn't say anything when everyone continues to insult him directly to his face. they all know what he Means but he is, technically, still behaving exactly as a respectable cultivator should. and then it sort of starts to go sideways, and you're like uh oh. we can still make it out of here unscathed tho I bet. he hasn't said anything crazy yet. but then wei wuxian looks jin guangshan in his face and says "please allow me to ask another question - does jin zongzhu think that without the qishan wen sect, lanling jin is supposed to take it's place naturally? so everything should be handed over to you, and everyone should follow your orders?", which is insane,

Knives is such a hypocrite and a liar and he lies most of all to himself and i hate him but i also love it. Bro's so coked up on copium all the time.

Claims to be doing it all for the sake of Plants, then arguably takes away their agency and freedom way more than humans ever could. Claims to be doing it for his brother and literally ruins his brother's life in every possible turn. Claims humanity never learns from their mistakes and it literally takes dying for him to stop doubling down on his bullshit. the medical abuse done unto tesla horrified him so much and yet he is directly responsible to the same abuse being subjected to countless of children.

Given the chance, I would love to be his sleep paralysis demon. i do not think I could fix him, but I think I can drive him to early retirement from super villainy.

babe would you still love me if we were superheroes and you were in danger and i went absolutely bonkers and crossed every moral boundary imaginable to protect you at literally any cost?

my main theory for why Vegeta in super went back on his ‘Goku’s just the best and I accept that’ at the end of Z is that prior to that Vegeta had never actually spent any real Time with Goku outside of battle, and didn’t realize Goku’s not blunt, he just doesn’t Think before he talks. Or before he does anything. He’s like a little kid. He’s a goofy little goober. That’s just what he’s like all the time.

And so after buu they’re chill and it’s peace time and Vegeta has time to get to know him and is like ‘oh my god he’s not doing a bit he’s not just acting like a silly fun guy in front of his kids he’s ONE of the kids he’s a dumbass fr I can’t be weaker than a dumbass’ and that’s why the dynamic shifted between them and Vegeta’s squarely the adult in the room now.

I don’t think I ever actually said this on here, basically for one of my mock english gcse exams for the “write a story” section I wrote a time travel / somewhere else jonmartin fic. literally. the prompt was “something surprising” I think, and I just went well. waking up in an alternate universe would be pretty damn surprising. and it was just jon waking up in bed with no scars and no eyepocalypse and going “wHEre’S mArTiN” and I got a grade 9 (A**). so yeah that happened

“Justice doesn’t let me drink” as a moral statement: lame

“Justice doesn’t let me drink” as in they have a crazy fast abomination metabolism so alcohol doesn’t affect them: better

“Justice doesn’t let me drink” as in Justice just thinks alcohol is yucky: best
