just because someone is your favorite character doesnt mean theyd have the same moral alignment as you. wheatley from portal wouldnt say "my pronouns are he/him, thank you for asking!" hed say "what uhh. what does that mean. um. you mean the nouns im most "pro" at is that what youre saying? i like to think im pretty pro,, at all nouns really. umm lets see... apple, kazoo, bubble, happy, door, umm... cake. not too fond of cake really i think its alright but. not my Favorite. if it were up to me though id eat a whole cake in one sitting. if i were a human. not a human, clearly. also not sure if id, know what cake even tastes like. if i tried it. no tastebuds. no Mouth... no. hole. anywhere on my body. haha um,, well anyways id. id say im pretty Pro Nouns. dont see why anyone wouldnt be... what? you mean what i Go By? what do you. ohhhh. ummm. the male ones. the male pronouns. if i can remember what they are... definitely the ones for guys. manly men. like me. pretty sure im a man,,," and you need to accept this

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

The adventures of a space roomba

Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

I don’t know a snappy description but the my nemesis cynthia story certainly lives in my head

I am in love with you /p

Saw this and went out looking for Different Stories Resonate with Different People ("eat shit and die 233"). The #1 tumblr story I think of (maybe tied with Arepo) and none of yall list it

just curious if there's a consensus here so:

Specifically THEME music, this isn't about the rest of the soundtrack (or the rest of the campaign for that matter). I’m excluding Balance both so as not to bias the results, and cuz the theme’s not original music.

Linky links under the cut in case anyone needs a refresher (listen to all of them before voting if you can!) Also feel free to listen to them all and vote even if ur not in the fandom! ^^

Word find tag (tear, pause, miss, smoke)

I don't usually do tag posts like these but this one looked fun, thanks @amielbjacobs for the tag!

Tear:

He sat up with a groan and pulled on the canvas leg of his trousers; it came apart along a ragged tear in the cloth that’d gone unnoticed among the muck.

Pause:

Glicht stopped his scrubbing. “One of Slonden’s." He set the brush in his lap and turned to face Lohak more plainly. “How’d you find me?” “What do you mean? I just asked around. You track fairly easily.” “You use my name?” Lohak pressed his midhands together, sliding his fingers over one another, a soft scraping sound. He said, “No.” “You’re sure?” Another pause. “No.”

Miss:

“What’s your next step?” Lohak asked. “If I head home, where are you going?” “I miss the part where that’s relevant.” “It’s relevant to you, isn’t it?” “Go home.”

Smoke:

The darkness meant either no one was home or they were intended to think so. It was musty, lingering fragrances of candlesmoke and cooked vegetables fighting one another, all of it illuminated by what moonlight slitted through the chimney-hole knocked in the scrimshaw ceiling.

Tagging: YOU 🫵

If you want to do it, your words are: earn, overuse, break, mend

I'm curious about something...

I know I forgot a bunch, but my brain is being a brat today.

Please reblog for a larger pool, but leave no comments anywhere but the tags. I don't feel like dealing with people getting rude in my notifications.

I think it should take longer to make tv shows and movies. I think shooting days should be shorter. I think AD's lives should be longer. I think we shouldn't have to be in a goddamn rush all the time. I think we should have the time it takes to make good art. I think fans should wait even longer than they do and be happy that everyone who made the art is getting full nights of sleep.

fuckin’

boxes and shit

it does more harm than good to prop up the myth of the ‘neurotypical’ who completes tasks cheerfully with no issues. this person is a capitalist fantasy. the more you define yourself in comparison to this myth the more you justify social structures staying the same with minor accommodations to the ‘exceptions’ and the continued pathologizing of discomfort under hostile conditions

please tell me i wasnt the only one who didn't like legends and lattes very much

I keep hesitating cause i feel like the same thing is going to happen to me and I'll be sad about it

different people have different tastes, you can always sample the beginning and see how you feel about it after two chapters or so

Ah I genuinely enjoyed it but I can see it not being for everyone! I thi k it helped that I was reading it at a time where I needed something kinda mellow and slice of. Lifey

different timing could have really affected my experience of the book tbh

I'm in the same boat as @haru-desune, I liked it a lot but I can immediately see why you wouldn't. I love a happy lil book where nothing happens

By the way, in the case of the currently threatened WGA strike, "don't cross the picket line" does NOT mean avoid all streaming services. It means:

  • don't write for TV studios
  • avoid reality shows and other scab shows they may try to push during the strike (if there is one)
  • @ studios on social media asking when your favorite TV show will come back
  • donate to a strike fund if there is one

Strikes work best if the company sees that there is a demand that it's impossible for them to meet. So feel free to watch your favorite shows, especially current shows, and tell studios on social media that you support the writers!
