Big Wild Life Spoilers!!
I just had a realization about this session… is Wild Life the only season when only one person died in the first session with perma death?
I might be remembering things incorrectly, but I’m pretty sure each season multiple people went out in the episode with the first perma death…
Which means Jimmy survived a session past the first perma death. He’s done it folks!!
Edit, I decided to check.
3rd Life: Jimmy, Cleo, Skizz
Last Life: Jimmy, Mumbo, Skizz, Impulse, Lizzie, Bdubs
Double Life: Jimmy/Tango, Ren/BigB
Limited Life: Jimmy, Skizz, Joel
Secret Life: Lizzie, Jimmy, Mumbo
So, yeah, first time there’s just one perma death in the session. In other news, Mumbo always died in the session with the first perma death, huh… wonder what funky lore this could have.

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"
#linguistics#gen z slang#english#as people in the reblog pointed out!#most gen z slang comes from (or was appropriated from) aave#honestly I was just excited to talk about how people in my field actually get excited about non standard uses of English#instead of ridiculing speakers#and I tagged incorrectly and didn’t point out the very real issues of language and power and appropriation inherent in modern slang#in that much of it was appropriated#and even that which experiences language change in the wider culture still originated in aave#aave is just as linguistically valid as any other English dialect because it is a proper language#and the grammar is incredible!!!#habitual be is fantastic and an excellent example of how a richer case system or a certain case can render an adverb unnecessary#and the phonology is just beautiful#anyway I’m very sorry#I fucked up

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.
#lol I don't remember writing this - I found it when I was searching for something else in my drafts. But it's 100% true so I had to post it.#elizabeth woodville#my post#Imo this is mainly because Elizabeth's negative historiography has always involved both vilification and diminishment in equal measure.#and because her brand of vilification (femme fatale; intriguer) suggests more indirect/“feminine” than legitimate/forceful types of power#It's still bizarre though-you'd think these would be some of the most famous & defining aspects of Elizabeth's life. But apparently not#I guess she only matters when it comes to marrying Edward and Promoting Her Family and scheming against Richard#There is very lacking interest in her beyond those things even in her traditionally negative depictions#And most of her “reassessments” tend to do diminish her so badly she's rendered utterly irrelevant and almost pathetic by the end of it#Even when some of these things *are* mentioned they're never truly emphasized as they should be.#See: her formal appointment in royal councils. It was highly unconventional + entirely unprecedented for queens in the 14th & 15th century#You'd think this would be incredibly important and highlighted when analyzing late medieval queenship in England but apparently not#Historians are more willing to straight-up INVENT positions & roles for so many other late medieval queens/king's mothers that didn't exist#(not getting into this right now it's too long...)#But somehow acknowledging and discussing Elizabeth's ACTUAL formally appointed role is too much for them I guess#She's either subsumed into the general vilification of her family (never mind that they were known as 'the queen's kin' to actual#contemporaries; they were defined by HER not the other way around) or she's rendered utterly insignificant by historians. Often both.#But at the end of the day her individual role and identity often overlooked or downplayed in both scenarios#and ofc I've said this before but - there has literally never been a proper reassessment of Elizabeth's role in 1483-85 TILL DATE#despite the fact that it's such a sensational and well-known time period in medieval England#This isn't even a Wars of the Roses thing. Both Margaret of Anjou and Margaret Beaufort have had multiple different reassessments#of their roles and positions during their respective crises/upheavals by now;#There is simply a distinct lack of interest in reassessing Elizabeth in a similar way and I think this needs to be acknowledged.#Speaking of which - there's also a persistent habit of analyzing her through the context of Margaret of Anjou or Elizabeth of York#(either as a parallel or a foil) rather than as a historical figure in HER OWN RIGHT#that's also too long to get into I just wanted to point it out because I hate it and I think it's utterly senseless#I've so much to say about how all of this affects her portrayal in historical fiction as well but that's going into a whole other tangent#ofc there are other things but these in particular *really* frustrate me#just felt like ranting a bit in the tags because these are all things that I want to individually discuss someday with proper posts...

a faulty heart

You know what must have been an interesting moment?
The first time the Valar (or some clueless Maia?) told the Elves about the problematic fact of "the Dark Hunter who captured many of your kin is actually kind of our brother. And we are letting him out of jail in a month or so".
Oh, how interesting it must have been.
#unless it was like with Men#and they learned it from the idiot himself#after he got out of jail#and then asked the proper Valar for confirmation#which must have been really awkward for both sides#communication skills level = carrot#:(#idk maybe they told the Elves from the start about the past history and how they jailed him and all#still the “out of jail” must have been a tense moment#+ Miriel died... not long before?#silm fic prompts#silm#silmarillion#tolkien legendarium#the silm#the silmarillion#not tagging as crack#it's a very legit canon thing#even though it's hilarious to think about it

Me checking the epic the musical tag to see how the fandom's doing:
Ah yes, here we have the coping-with-the-emotional-damage-through-humor section with memes and mismatched quotes and "I survived the wisdom saga" t-shirts, there we have the shouting-at-Jorge-for-inflicting-such-pain department, right next to it is the I'll-make-this-even-sadder-for-all-of-us district where they produce a flood of heartbreaking headcanons and metas, hiding behind it is the I'm-trying-to-put-my-thoughts-into-words-but-all-that-comes-out-is-rambling party, then there's the I'll-live-up-to-the-name-of-the-musical-and-make-*epic*-fanart corner and last but not least we have the this-is-tartarus,-I-don't-even-know-what-to-do,-I'm-in-shambles-on-the-floor pile of people moaning about the existencial crisis, insanity and severe grief this genius modern interpretation of an ancient greek tragedy causes them...
Me: yeah that seems about right
#tag yourself#I'm almost all of them#epic the musical#the wisdom saga#epic fandom#it's sorta funny to see us all decend into madness because it's really getting worse and worse#because back when the underworld saga came out it was a lot less memes and more metas which also were a lot more grounded aka#didn't have making you even sadder as a goal. also the fanart increased#overall were just getting more and more chaotic because we're losing our minds (and Jay is reaping all the benefits)#we oftentimes can't even form proper sentences anymore and get way too lost in the trenches of the sadness combined with the excitement#which leads to incoherent rambling instead of proper analyses

see, this is the core of the problem with the internet age. you can’t pull tricks like this anymore, they’d just google the zine and discover that issue 1 was a fabrication. when all information could be accessed only through print materials or one-time broadcasts and you couldn’t factcheck, creativity could still flourish
(i sound like a r/borninthewronggeneration person who wishes they were a boomer. lighten up kid… the internet has infinite potential, probably)
#this doesn’t even involve magic in any way it’s purely guile. which is of course magic#proper constantine energy#of course this is that very same alan moore interview. what else#ivy.txt#history#not really#could put it in my internet anthropology tag but it’s pre-online#uhhhh#strange britain#i guess?#magic#alan moore

Behind the Scenes photos from director Lanre Olabisi's instagram
Because I know some of y'all have been craving literally anything with these two together. Looking very likely that 7x06 will be a Valentine's episode with a gala/silent auction. Fanfic writers, I summon thee!
#chenford#the rookie bts#lucy chen#tim bradford#the rookie spoilers#the rookie season 7#even if chenford aren't together by this episode i still might not survive it#I just probably won't survive the second they interact let's be honest#also where the fuck are my girl's stripes?!#get her some stripes now istg#unless they're hiding the stripes just for BTS stuff#in which case continue#And apologies to anyone trying to avoid BTS stuff#I'm not sure the proper tagging etiquette for it#It's still a lot of speculation and background stuff anyway#But tell me if there are better tags to use for y'all

"In-depth information of the Warframe mandate is forbidden to all but the Seven."
Despite this, Albrecht Entrati:
-got a hold of the Helminth virus, which is the specific strain of infestation used to make Warframes.
-made his own Warframe (Qorvex).
-time travelled to 1999 to Warframe-ify people who believed he was saving them from a plague.
Albrecht Entrati does not give a single solitary fuck, I am amazed he somehow avoided the Jade Light.
#wf tag#he practiced alchemy which was forbidden#he got a hold of warframe technology SOMEHOW#like this man should have been vaporized long ago#not to mention the orokin didnt even take his void research seriously#he should be happy they didnt give him the Javi treatment and didnt lock him up#i guess Albrecht learned from the alchemist and thats why the underground secret lab system existed#im surprised Loid didnt go grey from keeping up with all the secrets#and also smuggling shit for Albrecht#MAYBE Albrecht being a proper Orokin saved him from any repercussions but like#its not like Orokin were known for their upstanding morals LMFAO

are there any fics about the existential/body horror and everyday idiosyncrasies of being wolverine — indestructible heavy metal skeleton, knife hands, healing factor, amnesia, and eternally chained to this mortal plane cursed to watch everyone around you age and die except this one really weird guy you can’t fucking stand who also happens to be from canada — with maybe a dash of homoeroticism? or at least just minimal heterosexuality? is that too tall an order?
#x men#wolverine#x men origins: wolverine#you wake up in a destroyed wasteland. you have to look at the dog tags around your neck for a name to call yourself (not even a proper one)#but you know and use the word fuck with perfect accuracy#some guy rushes over and says the kids are safe (what kids?) and you need to go (to where? from where?)#you ask who he is. he says he’s a friend. you ask him your name. he gives you the name on your tags and no more.#(if you go with him‚ hoping to find some answers about the big blank spot in your memory past five minutes ago‚#you’ll learn he’s known you for less than twelve hours and you’re a taciturn motherfucker who told him next to nothing)#(but he’s the only person you’ve seen since you opened your eyes that’s not dead or trying to kill you — which you suspect is rare for you)#he could be the godfather of your children for all you know#five minutes or hours or days or weeks later‚ somebody gets on your bad side and suddenly. there are knives coming out of your hands#you fall off your stupid motorcycle and flay the skin off your hands because you’re too cool for protective gear#and in the scant moments before the flesh fucking knits itself back together like it’s getting paid for it#you can see the glint of metal where it should be bone white#you’re 100lbs heavier than you logically should be#and you realize this is why#you’re 33% metal#kenny posts#kenny rants#you look in the mirror and estimate you have [insert hugh jackson’s age here] years of memories to recover give or take#but every trail you follow leads you further and further back until you realize just how many lifetimes have been taken from you

sometimes I’ll see a pairing that I so desperately wished I liked, but when I look at it, it’s like. Everyone shipping it seems to treat it like a cute sweet normal pairing, when it seems blatantly obvious to me that it would be a complete trainwreck that would crash and burn sooner than coalesce into a healthy relationship, considering the characters actual canon personalities.
#this is about#mae borowski#bea santello#night in the woods#nitw#and like to be clear#im not against trainwrecks!#but you have to be aware that it is in fact a trainwreck!#I’m sorry!#i dont think even in the endings where you have a heart to heart with bea#that bea actually thinks of Mae as a true equal rather than just a lovable gremlin (which she is! but it’s not ALL she is)#i think bea deeply cares about her and has learned a lot about her#but I still think that bea has internalized certain ideals of being a proper adult that she sees Mae as needing to fulfill#even if she’s learned that Mae has had issues she didn’t know about that prevented her from fulfilling them like bea has#i think bea still expects and believes that to be a proper adult Mae has to fulfill certain expectations I’m not sure Mae is capable of#my posts#negative#or at least close enough that I’m tagging that#I’m not outright tagging the ship#Because it seems like a step too far in the direction of ship hate#But it’s my genuine opinion on their canon dynamic#anyway if you ship it as a yeah lol this will ruin their friendship irrevocably thing that makes sense!#And like I wish I liked it because popular wlw pairings are few and far between#But like#that’s just how I think it would end up if they did actually date

where's that one tumblr post that asks what the thing is that you're "well actually" about bc that post has crossed my dash multiple times and every time i was like "i'm sure there is something for me too, i just have no idea what it could be" bc like. i know now. i know what it is. it's joong and dunk. joong's and dunk's acting skills specifically, actually
#seeing people all impressed by joong's subtle performances for a character that's very reserved and it's like#bitch you'd KNOW joong absolutely EXCELS at this if you'd watched simm#arguably kluen talks even less than fadel and is even more reserved#bc like fadel is at least TRYING to be polite while moving around in society#while kluen is all ''don't talk to me unless i start the conversation which is something i'm NOT gonna do bye''#and yet you can't help but ADORE kluen bc joong is soooo so good at all the subtleties#and you ALWAYS know what's going on inside of him. what he's thinking and where he's at emotionally#like yeah joong's performance in thk is fucking good but also it's like. same old. same old. we been knew he can do this#or also people praising dunk back during smn and now in thk like#yeah!! he is in fact a GOOD actor!!!!!#and you could SEE that in simm already too if you just knew how to look#you guys were just unnecessarily mean to a newbie actor#i'm gonna be holding a grudge at whoever shittalked dunk's performance back then (or still does) for a long time to come istg#airenyah shut the fuck up challenge#airenyah plappert#not tagging this properly bc i don't want to get into arguments with strangers in the tag byeee#anyway. when thk is over and done i might just write a sequel to my dunk acting manifesto while i wait for dare you to death#and i might just write a proper manifesto for joong too that's more than 1k words and isn't part of a tag game#y'all i SWEAR i'm trying not to be completely obnoxious about this but. it's hard#it's hard

No but how is Kuai Liang a pyromancer in the new game. Like how does that happen.
It's been weeks and I'm still not over it and just such a lazy way they put Hanzo's hat on Kuai Liang and said: here, this is Scorpion now.
Like I wouldn't mind Scorpion!Kuai Liang so much if it only made sense 😭😭😭
Why does he have Japanese-style armour. Because of Harumi? (And don't even get me started on pairing him with Harumi). Why does he fight with the Shirai Ryu techniques (Shirai Ryu doesn't exist yet?), when he's been raised in the Lin Kuei. WHY ARE OTHER SCORPIONS KUAI LIANG. Why do they have his voice and his face.
#kuai liang#mk1#mortal kombat#i mean i know why#the nrs being cheap#i honestly wouldn't mind if he was scorpion if they made an effort to adapt his powers and this identity for Kuai Liang#and not just act like he and hanzo are the same person (enough that a lot of fans dont know the difference)#i just hate treating characters like the same person cause they just wear the same outfit#like dont even get me started on kuai liang and ice like how big of a part of his character and personality ice is#they just kinda sanded him down to fit the scorpion mold but at the same time took what was interesting about scorpion away#which is his rage and grief and how he learns to use it productively#which is btw one of my favourite tropes#mk1 negative#? idk if thats the proper way to tag thks

🐓💍🤠The LOTR Proposal🤠💍🐓
Bradley "Don't Think Just Do" Bradshaw buying a ring on his way to Jake Seresin's temporary housing, several days post-mission, (days he spent at Icemav's big house, under the loving care of one Icepops and one injured Mavdad).
After a superb 'mav-style'-mad-running, Bradley arrives at the house, breathless, and says to a confused and sleepy-looking Jake:
"There's good - and some might say VERY good- in this world, and it's worth fighting for."
*gets on one knee and offers Jake the Ring*
"I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you for the rest of our lives, if you let me."
"Marry me, My Precious?"
Bonus:
"Wow, Bradshaw, did you get me a lotr mood ring?!"
