#why are y’all like this seriously .

Shout out to the not quite middle aged man yaoi ships that get so underrated because despite the deep connection, unending loyalty and love for each other, and scenes upon scenes of them being each others rock, partner, and family, the fact that one of them is a “joke” character and not conventionally attractive makes it so that fans, even queer ones, don’t see their relationship as meaningful and even take their genuine interactions as jokes.

Their silly little families

The way fans on the st sub are almost all in agreement Nancy ending up with neither Jon nor Steve wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, and how they can even come up with a sleuth of reasons as to why, honestly pretty valid and fair reasons, but then are absolutely gobsmacked when fans merely speculate something along those lines for El is, quite something.

It’s kind of insane (and unfortunately predictable) how western society acts when it comes to public health, specially after the pandemic. The amount of times I see people not wearing masks when they’re visibly sick or see people say they don’t want to wear masks because it’s uncomfortable to wear… you know what’s actually very uncomfortable and outdoes your feelings about wearing masks? BEING SICK.

Seriously, it should not be controversial or considered weird to wear masks when you’re sick; it should be THE BARE MINIMUM TO WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU’RE SICK, COVID OR NOT. How any of these people are able to go outside while sick and not care about other people’s health is insane to me. Despite the obvious fact that being sick affects everyone’s health, what about the people who are most vulnerable?

Wearing masks while sick should be the norm and honestly we as a collective should shame people who are sick and not wearing a mask in public.

staring down the google doc like a doomsday countdown until someone writes a war fic

So much narrative complexity possible….

Look, I don’t even know what this is, I just know I had a vision.

Anyhow , Wilbur Robinson only had three moods in this entire movie: Smug, Panik, and whatever energy that meme with the small cat standing has going on, y’all cannot convince me otherwise.

Y’know what no, I’m like two episodes past it now but what the hell was the moment in season one where Kristen kissed the WHOLEFUCKING PARTY on the mouth immediately AFTER realizing she was gay. Why did she do that. What’s wrong with her. It was amazing and I need to animate it or draw it or something but actually why did she do that

[sarcasticsouthernbookworm]

Somebody make anything that happened in this season make sense to me, in no particular order

What the hell was going on with everybody’s powers, but specifically Lila’s? Like she’s still a mimic but also had laser eyes for some reason.

The vauge hand wavy sci fi science that they barely took the time to try and explain and just creates a resident evil monster I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone who’s read the comics, is the marigold thing canon cause it really felt like a last minute ret con, it even sounded like they changed the audio on the previous season recap in the first episode to add the word in

Lila and Five make no sense as a couple imo, like Lila and Diego have actual chemistry together. The being alone together for seven years, sure fine, but the only explanation I can accept for why Five got so hung up was cause it was his first romantic relationship with an actual living person

What the hell was Abigail’s motivation, seriously do not understand that at all

Also, weren’t there tons of other miracle babies born with powers, Hargreeves didnt get them all

And so what, the Swedes and the handler get to live but the hargreeves dont?

I’ve seen a couple people mention this already, but really what was the message? Do I think every piece of story telling has to have a message? No. Do I think good story telling needs a message to be good? Yeah kinda and I think the past seasons kinda did

Six episodes Netflix?!? This is both a question and an explanation, the season was crappy because 6 episodes is no time to develop any kind of plot or character. Are y’all really that fucking cheap

Just like with shadow and bone, the cast continues to be amazing, Netflix is just doing us and them dirty

My most controversial DC opinion that you cannot make me budge on is if you don’t understand Dick Grayson you cannot on a very fundamental level understand Bruce, Jason, Tim, or Damian and if your understanding of him is flawed? Or rooted in fanon? Your understanding of them is too.

Throwback to when Sean, Cote, and Michael tried to solve the mystery of how to take a serious photo…

All jokes aside I don’t understand a lick why we now have to wrap our brains around “Sutekh has been in the TARDIS the whole time!!!” when “Sutekh clawed his way back out of the void dripping ichor and rage the moment that salt created any hint of a door and has been hiding in the TARDIS since then” would’ve been just as effective

This is totally just about my personal life and I can’t necessarily generalize it, but I do feel like I’m encountering a certain sort of insecure standoffish behavior more and more in people my age and it’s really bugging me.

So many people I know approach new acquaintances and social situations with this attitude of “Well, they probably won’t like me anyway, so I won’t even try,” which I find both really juvenile and really unkind. And don’t get me wrong, I do think there’s a time and a place for not caring what people think of you, but when it comes to your attitude and the way you treat other people, you absolutely SHOULD care what they think. You SHOULD want people to like you, or at least not actively hate you, and assuming that everyone you meet is the type of person who won’t is frankly pretty mean. Obviously not everyone is going to like you or want to be your friend, but that doesn’t mean you get to enter every potential relationship like an antisocial ghoul and then be mad that you have no friends? Make this make sense.

It goes hand in hand with this super annoying deal where people throw all their energy into resisting whatever’s popular for the sake of being interesting, failing to realize that not only are they unoriginal but they’re a complete bummer to be around as well. I really assumed we’d all grown out of this, but I’m well into my twenties and encountering people relatively frequently who cannot stand to have anyone think of them as “basic” or “like the rest” or what have you, and I can’t help but wonder if they’re happy with themselves. It’s so corny to say, but the most interesting people are those who like what they like, wear what they want, etc without feeling like they need to justify it to everyone. Nobody is paying close enough attention to you to judge you for half the shit you’re convinced you’re being judged for, I promise.

the jaime goldenhand the just arc is so funny if you picture this guy doing completely ineffective altruism for an entire book. jaime giving a 10-year-old boy at flea bottom dying from leprosy his hideous 24k gold lion helmet. jaime throwing lannister bitcoins from on top of his horse as he passes a starving village freezing from the winter cold. 50 million golden dragons donated to the local knight power-scaling frat boy debate team. visiting this kid dying from the plague whose last wish was to meet ser barristan and ruining their day when he shows up instead. donating to women in stem (cersei destroying king’s landing through chemical warfare)

i have so much shit to do and unpack and launder and my skin is awful and I don’t feel comfortable in my body too many things are coming up this is my first year of not being a student after like 15+ years of it and I’m so out of my depth I need to apply to jobs AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

If I had a nickel for how many times I have watched a prestige drama wherein jared harris plays a highly nuanced, arguably problematic, but ultimately kind and caring protagonist that in turn makes ME want to write fix-it fics for him in which he survives his ordeals in which he leads a maybe melancholic but no less loved life I’d have like. A buck fifty in change like seriously dude you’ve gotta stop doing this

[draconicsplendor]

I mostly stopped reading fic after middle school but I just had my first proper fanfic binge in years and the one I ended off with was so beautiful and impactful and bittersweet that it gave me inspiration for my own unfinished AU despite being an unfinished work??? I gotta do this more often y’all
