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?"

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...

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.

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

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)

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!

"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.

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.

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.

🐓💍🤠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?!"
