neil gaiman: well terry and i wrote them to be genderless and sexless and as having a purely platonic relationship and they were never intended to be interpreted as gay

also neil gaiman: however. in the sequel that we never wrote. the idea is they fuck nasty

It’s been so clear the whole time can’t believe we didn’t pick up on it

twilight au where carlisle is a competent medical practitioner so forks puts up with him but he has these insane old timey ideas, like he keeps trying to diagnose bella with hysteria

Do you think Dennis has ever experienced the feeling of someone genuinely liking him or do you he just believes that every single person who says they like him is another successful victim of his manipulation

And therein lies the problem. The urge to control everything around him is way to strong and he knows that a genuine reciprocation of feelings is way too uncertain of a thing. Power is heady and he revels in it, he feels safe... wielding it.

it’s so interesting that Twilight as a narrative is so intent on making Bella insistently desire sex, and then also so intent on coralling (they have to be married first), limiting (they only have sex a few times?, rather than the years Bella wanted to spend in college having fun recreational non-procreative sex), and punishing (demon baby that causes her great physical harm) that same desire. Buffy-ass plotline

No joke, the entire plot of twilight book is Stephanie Meyer struggling with the concept of expressing her desires and justifying/suppressing it with vampires and shit. Through the books Bella is just Meyer herself in the fantasy of a non-Mormon society where no one shames her for desire for sex, but Meyers is so brainwashed from a life of Mormonism that there’s always some wild reason supernatural reason Bella lives a Mormon-approved life. Meyers wildest supernatural fantasy is that she’s not made to feel guilty about her desires, but even THEN she can’t imagine a world where those desires are acted upon freely.

just had the weirdest interaction. this off-leash Yorkshire Terrier wobbled up to sniff my ankle, and then its owner said “the vet wanted to euthanize her”

and I was like “……oh”

and she said “4 years ago. she had a stroke, but I went to church and prayed to the Virgin Mary, and now she can walk again. but sometimes she drops, which is why I have this stroller”

and I was like “oh, okay.” I didn't know what to say after that, so I was just like "it's a cool dog" and kept walking

A good ensemble cast is based on the strength of the interactions between any two characters in the ensemble.

CHARLIE + MAC Delightfully sincere madness. Cooking up new inventions for strange products.

CHARLIE + DENNIS Tom Sawyer style friendly manipulation. Charlie looks up to Dennis, who will not admit to enjoying Charlie's antics.

CHARLIE + FRANK Comfortable friendship. Frank tries to have sex with sex worker, charlie attempts to cook beans. They are mutually supportive of each other's desires.

CHARLIE + DEE Sibling rivalry. Competition, until they can find something to join forces over.

MAC + DENNIS A mastermind and his goon attempt to inflate the value of a used tractor trailer for sale.

MAC + FRANK Boys night. The quest for a cold one to crack open.

MAC + DEE Faghagging, though neither will admit to the dynamic.

DENNIS + FRANK An evil king and his mistrustful advisor attempt to woo some fair maidens.

DENNIS + DEE Untethered cooperative sociopathy.

FRANK + DEE An evil witch drawing upon her wealthy toad familiar to cast harmful spells.

taking a class on sex this semester which has resulted in many fun things like "sex activity" and "sex final" being added to my planner. being very mature and serious about this .

obsessed

I had a class called "What is Evil?" The professor called us his "evil students" and I got to say things like: "I have evil class later." and "I have readings in evil to do." and "Well my evil professor said..."

I miss having that class

[ID: tumblr reply on this post reading "my partner did a sociology degree and one of the modules was on organised crime. very funny to see stuff like "anyone doing organised crime this afternoon" in a uni groupchat"]

i do actually believe the gang would find each other in every universe. they're literally made to annoy each other and their personalities were made to only be able to stand each other. it's written in the stars. god told me at lunch last week sorry

Reminder that people aren't entitled to see into your decision-making process unless you've agreed that they are. Just told a business acquaintance that I'd "just finished up my previous commitment". It's not their problem to know that it was DND.

Just to make sure no one schedules meetings on top of my D&D sessions, BUT ALSO to avoid any chance of my coworkers figuring out when I’m playing D&D, I always block sessions out on my calendar with the appointment title:

“Conflict Resolution Seminar”

It’s not a lie, I’m discussing with a small group how to resolve conflict. Not my fault that the answer is often violence.

Bro I love you but if I saw in the communal calendar that one of my coworkers had attended thirty conflict resolution seminars over the last year then I would immediately assume they had committed innumerable acts of workplace violence and management was too scared to fire them
