I am Bid.

@iambid

I post what I like and am usually pleasantly surprised when other people like it too. Flantastic on AO3, purveyor of 00Q-related smut since 2013.

i have decided that to simplify my life and make everyone else's worse i am going to combine american and british spellings. for example:

•centere

•programmme

•graey

•apflatment

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

WAIT REBLOG THIS VERSION INSTEAD

Good morning from the greatest economic system ever in human history!!!!! Capitalism is totally working!!!!!!

It’s funny, I was just thinking: what happens when all of the geeks we have today die and their grandchildren inherit hundreds of funko pops of characters they don’t recognise or care about? Like, I can’t imagine them becoming antiques; there’s too many of them.

Sorry have they not heard of donation?!??

Ah but that undermines their profit motive, you see. Same reason some grocers toss out perfectly good food on its expiration date into locked dumpsters. Or why when I worked at Borders bookstore back in the late 2000s I had to shred the covers off of the unpurchased magazines once the new month’s supply came, and toss the magazine bodies into a recycling bin and mail the covers back to the magazine, manufactures to prove that we didn’t just give them away. Because heaven forbid we took them or gave them away.

Please don’t take this as a post implying this is a Funko Pop specific thing. I highlighted capitalism’s role here because ALL KINDS of companies are doing this to create false scarcity or to keep their products’ “value” artificially high or whatever. This is just the most recent verifiable case I’m aware of.

As I said on another thread: this is not a bug this is a feature of capitalism. It’s bullshit.

Capitalism can will and is killing the environment and all of us with it.

remember when writers had to be all like: “omg omg lemon starts HERE” y’all are lucky that ao3 has tags and filters you can set

Sometimes shit was marked “lemon” and it’d just be them making out, and sometimes they’d just start pissing on each other

No rules, no laws, you took your life into your hands opening fics

god those were lawless times. 

Daniel Craig talking about Ben Whishaw's performance in NTTD, specifically an emotional scene on the plane.

SPOILERS under cut because of tumblr autoplay video.

It’s so unbelievably idiotic that the world security council decides that the best option to retaliate against an alien invasion is to nuke Manhattan lmao like, ok, maybe you manage to kill some of the aliens, but maybe they are impervious to nuclear powered bombs, you have literally no idea and have decided after a ten minute fight that the best option here is to nuke a city of millions and cause unknown fallout on millions more and I just…

Thank fuck for Natasha closing the portal and for Tony Stark being willing to die to stop the needless deaths of millions.
