#what's wrong with being confident

[kedreeva]

I need you to understand that the very straight and immediate line from someone's very confident "I don't like mice/I've handled mice before so I know what they're like" to joyous wonder as they hold the first calm, friendly mouse they've ever held and murmur "they're so soft/sweet/warm/gentle" practically to themselves is basically a drug

"I work at a petstore," says the young man with much disdain, "so I don't really need to hold another one. I know what they're like."

"These aren't petstore mice," I say, as I turn my hand over and the mouse holds on tighter. "They're not like any mouse you've ever held," I say, as I close my hand gently around the mouse and flip her onto her back for a second so I can touch her mouth and demonstrate how difficult it would be to get one of my mice to bite.

"I'm sure you've handled them extensively from a very young age, though."

"They haven't been handled before today, except to be moved into clean cages." She arranges herself in my hand and cleans her face. "Are you sure you don't want to hold one?"

He opens his hands, and she pours from my hand into his like a viscous liquid. She is soft and warm and sweet, and his entire face lights up when she hunkers down onto his warm hand and closes her eyes.

"....She's changing my mind."

"They tend to do that when you leave it open."

He took her and two companions home.

donna’s inherent honesty vs dick’s tendency to be manipulative.. speak to me

[mabelmidnight-takeover]

the thing that doesn't make sense to me regarding the "he was putting her career on the line" POV is that there's no previous behavior from abbot that makes that believable to me. abbot faked a teenager's exams (w/o her knowledge) so she could get an abortion, told another doctor said teenager was getting back for the pills and didn't seem to care that robby could very easily find out what he did, reprimanded but immediately praised santos for doing a risky procedure she wasn't allowed to and took every opportunity he got to do procedures the hospital board wouldn't allow on the daily. nothing from his behavior told me he would put someone else's career on the line with something we were shown he's very capable of doing. add that to mohan's arc this season and the possibility of that POV being the case becomes nonexistent to me. it never even crossed my mind before checking what people were saying about the episode. i read it as a joke bc nothing else shown would tell me it wasn't.

comparing it to robby and david's situation: it was Not a surprise how robby reacted after david was proven innocent from the shooting. he was a bit more asshole-ish to how he'd probably react in a normal day, especially after a breakdown, but where he stood on the whole situation was not new. we were shown and told robby could react like that; we were shown and told abbot didn't care about what could happen to him or his career if a patient's health was on the way

I find it hard to imagine a reality where voldemort views harry as an equal? I think the point at which they are in the books voldemorts eclipsed the capabilities of your average wizard by leagues and has far more experience than harry. he views harry as someone who is more of a nuisance he has to get rid of before he begins his world dominating expedition.

there was a prophecy about this

Ok so Wild and Wars are going together in the dungeon right? And that's great for them (maybe), but I ALSO want to talk about how Time and Four are going together!!

Because of THIS

(from doodles pt.3-link (heh))

Most of us have seen this before I think- and I've seen people saying they want confirmation on if it's Time saying 'you never cease to impress me little one' or not. The older doodles are still said to be canon- so I ALSO would like confirmation on it.

Also there's this ask from a bit ago!

The ask mentioned Time knowing about the four sword- and Jojo didn't correct them or say otherwise, and said most have confided in him. So I think it's reasonable to assume Time knows Four's secret from the doodle. And I want to see it in the story!!! and they're going together in the dungeon! (with Wind too of course!!)

also small brag that I guessed and said months ago that I wanted Time and Four to go together. They have Wind too, and I am VERY excited bc I wanted to see them together and now they ARE fhxvfgxgdgd

Obviously we don't know what Jojo's planning, and I have no idea if this will come up or not. But it'd be really cool wouldn't it?

WAIT ACTUALLY THIS WAS DIABOLICAL OF THEM

transcript under the cut:

Angie x Peggy

Peggy cannot force herself to leave Captain America's blood behind, so she returns to the Griffith--even though she knows it's the first place the SSR will look for her. When the agents arrive, she's forced to climb onto her window ledge to hide. She's rescued by Angie, who immediately leaps into an incredible enactment of emotional trauma to throw Thompson and Sousa off the trail. It's one of the few times Peggy is the rescued--not the rescuer.

"Peggy loves other women--she's not competitive with them," Hayley Atwell says. "She believes in them; she wants to look after them as much as they look after her. She has that sisterhood."

Angie's tearful performance mirrors Peggy's use of the period excuse in "Now Is Not the End," and so does the reaction. The men instantly go into panic mode. If for no other reason, women in Marvel's 1940s need to be treated as equals so the men of the SSR will stop being fooled by them.

But at the height of her triumphant moment, Peggy is dropped by the woman she least expected: Dottie.

“they say they don’t know who i am anymore/well i just have never shown anger before” is that not Jesper in the scene with Colm when he finally comes clean about his gambling and they talk about him being grisha

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,

Anime:

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

Manga:

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

Arthur saves people and it justifies his wealth and power. Merlin saves people and it’s a lowly peasant trying to be important. I see how it is 🚬-_-

knowing pomnis favorite color is red makes me emotional and also slightly more in love with her, for some reason

I had heard of toxic masculinity before, but this was one of the first times I think I've ever encountered delusional masculinity.

At Wednesday meetings at work, when we go around and give project updates, we also answer a popcorn question. This week it was, "What is the largest animal you think you could take in a fight?" And good lord. Here are some of the answers men in my department gave:

dog - he's clearly never seen a K9 training video

kangaroo "cause they've got those little boxing gloves!" yeah and they're ripped as hell and will kick you into next week

horse - never seen statistics on how many people are killed by being kicked in the head, I guess

a mountain lion - wtaf dude

"I'm gonna be humble and say a gorilla." THEY'RE SIX HUNDRED POUNDS YOU IDIOT

[uncanny-tranny]

You know, I feel like other trans people might get this, but it's honestly kind of refreshing when a cis person has, like, undeniable tboy/tgirl/whatever swag. It's like when you come across somebody who speaks the same language as you and you only find out when they start speaking it, too.

"Ganondorf is the avatar of power, he would never show any weakness, he is incapable of any sort of genuine kindness, he should be written as someone who is always in a position of dominion and invulnerability because someone like Ganondorf could never be any other way-" Honestly, skill issue.
