friendly reminder that findtags is the best way to search tumblr’s absolutely destroyed tag system. it actually accurately looks through the tags without omitting results. it’s the only thing i use at this point because it’s the only thing that works

Thank you.  I’d never heard of this.

"it's not queer fiction unless the queerness is explicitly declared in the text according to currently accepted terminology and in a way that meets the approval of the entire audience" I mean follow your heart I guess but I trust myself as a queer person to recognise queer themes

"but doesn't this risk giving the author undue credit for queer representation" I do not care about the author

list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals

  • cleaning or wipe your bare feet
  • breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone
  • putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head
  • eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground
  • seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view
  • cupping your hands into running water to wash your face
  • the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present
  • when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly

May I add?

  • Touching someone’s face with the back of your hand to see if they have a fever
  • Stopping to watch animals moving in groups (geese, fish, horses, butterflies, bees)
  • Helping an elderly person to walk or sit
  • telling stories around a fire
  • huddling together for warmth when it’s cold
  • marveling at sunlight through leaves
  • wonderment at the brightness of a full moon
  • bringing food to sick or grieving families

Okay, was anyone gonna tell me that Phoenix and Miles se tutoient* in the French version of AA3, or was I just supposed to find that out from TV Tropes???

(*That is, they address one another with the familiar “you,” which. Wow. That sure is a move, lol, especially from someone like Edgeworth.)

Anyway now I’m slowly going through all the games in French bc I’m dying to know which characters use tu vs vous with each other.

hozier saw this post and was like yah put it on the album

*sidles up to you at the bar* would you like to hear my wise aphorism

only if it's actually wise. the last guy who asked me this had a pretty foolish aphorism tbh

oh… uhuh… *really should have prepared this ahead of time* never ignore… the melody of time… when your shoe’s untied?

*considers this aphorism sagely, sipping my horrible and bitter potion*

yes. there is wisdom in this. he whose shoes are untied must carefully mind the rhythm of his steps. bartender, another Wretched Potion, for my comrade here

*to self* holy shit… my aphorism… it’s wise!

I were inspired
