The current revisionism in Gravity Falls fandom by people who were literally elementary schoolers when the show was airing is so funny to me like. No, people weren't shipping BillDip over BillFord because everyone was morally derelict and just loved shipping a twelve year old with a triangle that much.

People weren't shipping BillFord BECAUSE FOR THE LONGEST TIME NO ONE KNEW FORD EVEN EXISTED!!!! 😭😭😭

Cody, hearing Fox screaming in his office: What happened? Thire: He gets frustrated by certain people... Rex: A senator? Thire: No. He would be throwing things too. They infuriate him. Wolffe: ...Palpatine? Thire: That's the most likely culprit. His incompetence is frustrating, but not infuriating.

pouring one out for luo binghe in my disciple SQQ fic, poor guy has taken a backseat here. we're nearly 30k words deep and he hasn't even shown his face once. it'll be much longer before he even actually talks to Shen Qingqiu.

(i say im pouring one out but in reality im sitting in my director's chair chewing on a cigar and wearing a beret as he tearily and unsuccessfully pleads with me for more scenes with Shen Qingqiu)

Silliest and gayest Napoleon fun fact?

oh man... hard to pick

I feel like it's the one everyone knows which is that, according to Meneval, Napoleon had a penchant for taking running leaps into the laps of friends/secretaries/people he liked**.

Also, this bit from Meneval**: “[Napoleon] would come and sit on the corner of my desk, or on the arm of my armchair, sometimes on my knees. He would put his arm around my neck and amuse himself by gently pulling my ear.”

There's also the one, that I feel is also pretty well known, which is in Cronin's biography**:

Napoleon found that his friendships with men often began with physical attraction, and this took a curious form. 'He told me,' says Coulaincourt, '...that for him the heart was not the organ of sentiment; that he felt emotions only where most men experience feelings of a different kind: nothing in the heart, everything in the loins and in another place, which I lean nameless.' The feeling Napoleon described as 'a sort of painful tingling, a nervous irritability...the squeaking of a saw sometimes gives me the same sensation.'

**insert obligatory disclaimer about early modern/into early 19th century male friendships and homo-social relations being far more intimate and physical in their expression than they are in modern north american and/or #Western Society etc. etc.

--

Not quite on topic, but I am often amused whenever I think about Napoleon ribbing Cambaceres about his love-life and that one story where Napoleon hauled everyone out of bed at ass-o'clock in the morning for Empire Reasons. Cambaceres was late to this impromptu meeting and when he arrived Napoleon apparently said something like, “When your emperor calls for you, Cambacérès, you must tell your pretty ladies to put their trousers back on, take up their canes and be off”. 

Relatedly, that letter from Napoleon to Josephine where Napoleon writes: “is it true the First Chancellor is in love? you might have given me a hint”.

Napoleon being like: babe. babe. you need to tell me the Deetz. i ne eed..,, them. for Reasons. babe. babe. you can't leave hanging. babe.

Apollo there is an ACTIVE BOMB in the COURTROOM that will HAVE to WAIT

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

question for my Christian mutuals:

I saw someone reply to a question of "what's your opinion on Baptist beliefs?" with "well I'm not Baptist so obviously I believe they're wrong in some capacity" which is puzzling to me because I have never thought of it like that. yes I think some denominations or even specific churches within denominations have incorrect beliefs but "I'm not [denomination] ergo I think they're wrong" doesn't make sense to me personally

not trying to start beef btw I'm just asking if this is a direct "I'm not this which means I think they're wrong" thing for others or not, I'm just curious about what different people think about this

“Yall really will just say shit.” got the video evidence right here sweetie

https://www.tumblr.com/saiandantreceipts/783939002202996736/just-as-a-heads-up-the-video-contains-a-slightly

....That's it?

Do you consider taking a teenager to a public beach or pool where women in swimsuits are present the same as..whatever the fuck you're trying to say here?

So we're gonna ignore someone like Lily intentionally flashing her BARE CHEST after baiting a minor into the stream specifically for that purpose in order toooooo go after someone who has never marketed her channel to minors who was drawing a youtube-friendly thumbnail of a tiny bit of cleavage.

You people are so fucking performative it's disgusting.

poll for fic time (we’ll be working on back into the trenches alongside the result ^^)

the first would be a oneshot, the second is a multichapter fic. the first chapter would be posted as soon as its done, no worries

[tennessoui]

In the assigned married fic, has Anakin even begun to process Padme saying that both of them will be moving to Naboo together? Like, they spoke earlier in the chapter about Anakin moving in with her on Coruscant, but Obi-Wan apparently spilled the beans about a much more permanent relocation to Naboo, and I am looking forward to Anakin's response to that, once he gets through processing everything else and remembers that part of the "conversation"....

i think padmé views moving to naboo more as a possibility than a future concrete plan -- the offer to be a permanent advisor on naboo is something she'd like to discuss with anakin as her husband before taking it or rejecting it. she says there's a lot of work she still wants to do in the senate, and she's probably thinking that it will be a few years before she would be able to go anyway. definitely after the war, but in her mind, she thinks anakin has every intention to leave the order after the war's over....because he kind of told her that. at least, in her mind he did: (from chapter 1)

“[Obi-Wan] asked me if I planned to leave the Order after the war,” he tells his wife. “And I lied, and then I think he began to support me. That’s what he looked like, anyway.” Padmé blinks at him, eyelashes falling slowly onto the jut of her cheek and then rising. “That’s good then,” she says, sounding hesitant. “That he supports us.” “Yeah,” Anakin replies, raising his hand to tuck a tendril of hair behind her ear. “Though…I’m sorry you had to lie,” she says, pressing forward until their faces are only a hand’s width apart. “Hopefully…” she trails off, biting her lip. Then she shakes her head slightly, and her mouth turns up into a smile as if she cannot help herself. “Hopefully he will not take the truth so hard.”

so anakin never says what lie he told obi-wan, he just says that he lied when asked if he was going to leave the Order, and that lie made obi-wan support him.

from an outsider's perspective, especially a biased outsider who is married to one of the insiders and believes them to have a future together, padmé's immediate understanding of this is that obi-wan asked if he was going to leave the order and anakin lied to him and told him he planned to stay and obi-wan began to support their marriage because he thinks he won't be losing anakin (padmé, who has three braincells, has long since realized obi-wan's obsessed with her husband)

and that's why she's smiling at the end (and also why they have sex at the fade to black) -- she believes anakin has just told her that when the war ends, he'll leave the Order to be with her and build a future together <3 so the offer to go to naboo is an option she can talk to her husband about, but she knows that anakin is going to no longer be a jedi....and if he's not a jedi, and she's not a senator....what's keeping them on coruscant?

BUT it's not just obi-wan that's feeling a bit catty during that dinner party scene, so i intentionally wrote padmé as putting this idea forward as less of a possibility and more of a done deal that she knows anakin will accept -- she talks about it like it's great big BACK OFF signs picketed around anakin because obi-wan is the biggest threat to their marriage in the entire galaxy and she's always known that

(but also no anakin has not begun to process that whole thing - but padmé, who now realizes they're NOT on the same page, is absolutely going to bring it up post-haste in the next chapter)

continued from this ask with @papermint-at-your-service

Drat. Didn't catch him out this time.

Even if seeing the ball bounce directly off his employee's face was still part what he was hoping for. His lips twitch in a light smile, a hint of cyan fangs showing through. Though he's been an overlord quite some time now, he never gets bored of finally being the kicker instead of the goalie in the game of paper football—or goal, more like.

It helps that Papermint puts up with it all in good humor—or if he doesn't, he's a damn good liar about it whenever Vox is involved, at least. Truth be told, Vox is just engaging with a little game that he's been playing for some time now, seeing if he can put a crack in his assistant's insane professionalism. The man is damned efficient and incredibly competent, and that's coming from the literal machine that is Vox.

Perhaps he shouldn't be looking a gift horse in the mouth, but ever since he woke up in Hell with a television for a head, Vox has been unable to resist an underlying desire to know how things work. Electronics, showbiz, people. And if push came to shove, well—he'd say he'd rather know what Papermint's limits are before the crisis occurs, instead of during an inopportune moment.

But the man's survived a couple Exterminations by now, both on his own and after joining up with VoxTek, so Vox is content for the moment to continue throwing paper at him for his own amusement. Mostly.

"And my seven o' clock?" he prompts casually, as though Papermint has forgotten something. (He hasn't. Vox has no seven o' clock that's been mentioned during their meeting.)
