Felt like making a list, so here are some of my favorite quotes from GMM:

5. Rhett and Link (taking turns): "Dude. You. Are. So. Perfect. In. A. Somewhat. Imperfect. World."

4. Link (putting on a hat): "It takes a special, special lesbian to pull this off. And I'm just the gal!"

3. Don't @ me but that whole "shooting puppies" conversation makes me really laugh. "It's not funny! It's not funny! [...] We're digging so many holes..... and putting puppies right in them."

Link: "What's worse, shooting a puppy or slapping your mama. Something's wrong with the puppy by the way." Rhett: "Is something wrong with your mom?" Link: "Nothing a lil smack won't fix."

2. Rhett (guessing and winning a game): "It's the ol' eggs and corn." Link: "[...] Oh, look at me! I'm smart AND funny! I bring everything to the table!" Rhett: *dying laughing*

1. Rhett: "Dear diary, today, my best friend Link and I were discussing mooning. After he mooned Stevie, he made a joke. The joke was: 'The tides are shifting in here!' He made that joke because the moon controls the tides. I love him."

hey i cant stop thinking about finance or mathematics teacher nanami x art teacher reader and reader is shamelessly eccentric with their bright coloured clothes, some of which they make themselves, their fancy shoes, elaborate hairstyles/head-wraps, odd earrings, a very messy desk (but they know where and what everything is), talkativeness and emotionality with a loud passion for the arts and it’s importance in society…

…and then theres nanami who is…just so different from you. he’s all astute, logical, two or three piece suits, simple, slicked back hair, quiet, neat, believes he fits in, stresses the importance (and sometimes, superiority) of industries and just the subjects of math and finances and economics and everything in between.

and in a way, he stands out like you do, due to your unique shared passion of your favourite subjects and your dedication to teaching such subjects and helping your students to understand their necessity.

too bad the passion you both have for your favoured subjects is the reason for your initial, mutual dislike for one another ;(

my favourite sexuality for comic book characters to be is "we made this other character canonically queer because of their relationship with them but for some reason they are still canonically straight"

like wade wilson? mostly canonically queer because of the period where he was married to cable. he was in a queer relationship, so we have to just make him canonically queer. (Yes I know it's not the only reason, I have read all his extremely camp early 00s comics, but lets be real they'd have kept insisting that was all just a joke if it wasn't for Cable and Deadpool).

cable? definitely straight. 100% straight. obviously cable is straight. his relationship with wade is only gay during the & Deadpool, in the Cable part of the book it's very straight. He stands next to a woman sometimes, that's how you can tell it's not gay.

Kitty has, finally, been allowed to come out, but for like a decade, Illyana was canon queer because she dated Kitty, but Kitty was definitely straight and would never date a woman, and no one at marvel thought there was anything weird about that.

[Image Description: a very straight character, interacting with another straight character, in a very believably straight way]

Marvel has way more of these, mostly by virtue of having more queer characters and also chris clairmont (you can never understate the impact of chris clairmont in these matters) but Tim Drake and Kon Kent spring to mind from DC.

I think you could even make a solid argument that 616 Tony and Steve are that, given Tony is out now and Steve, somehow, still isn't.

anyway you don't really get these in any other medium, because they require multiple writers who all wildly disagree with one another to all write the same characters to happen, but i love them, and as much as I want Cable and Kon to come out, I kind of hope this never stops happening in comics, it's just never not funny.

i wish people misunderstanding and misinterpreting my words wasnt as bad of a stress trigger for me as it is but holy fuck there are few things that make me fly off the rails more lmao

I started re-reading The Song of Achilles today (after many many years!) and I love it just as much now as I did when I first read it like 10 years ago??? More than that maybe???

It is just the most magical, beautiful, meaningful book of prose you can ever read. Every word is written with such care and intention. It is not overly fluffy yet somehow the most romantic text you will ever read. I have always felt that you learn something when you read this book. It stays with you. It has always felt like it leaves an imprint on my heart (which sounds so stupid!) but what I mean is that sometimes a song or a poem or just a simple sentence touches something so purely human inside of you, like the very essence of your own self. And this book has ALWAYS done that to me. I read it and my very being is touched. These sentences are imprinted on my essence.

I read this so long ago and have read so many books since and I have enjoyed many books immensly since, but nothing ever comes close to The Song of Achilles. Nothing. ❤️

many thoughts, many thoughts…

Speaking of Chloe, I have a dumb question (non native eng speaker here) Do you interpret the song as a mix of her imagining the future and recalling the past, or only one?

I've seen countless breakdowns on this app and none are consistent with the time element, which confuses my international swiftie brain 😭

First of all anon: we welcome all international swifties here in waves land! Your English is great and this is no dumb question. There are no dumb questions when you’re trying to learn about something! Especially when it’s not your first language. (I’m always having to ask questions in my second language and I’ve been speaking it nearly my entire life lmao)

Second: I’m not sure if I entirely get what you’re asking (which is a me thing, not a you thing). I think she’s recalling the past through her imagination. In the sense of: “Your hologram stumbled into my apartment” is a memory flooding back to her, or something triggering a thought of this person in the present that brings to mind the past. And the rest of the song kind of meanders through this space between actual memory and imagined hypotheticals. E.g. if we move on can we just pretend like this didn’t wreck us? Or can I pretend that it didn’t wreck me? Or am I always going to wonder if there was something that could have changed this timeline?

I’m not sure if that makes sense or if I just made it more confusing lol.
