Miami mayor says Chief Acevedo is ‘Tom Brady or the Michael Jordan of police chiefs’
The Houston police chief who forged a national profile by calling for gun control, marching with protesters after George Floyd’s death and c
KPRC|Associated Press

Florida man says 12 days after Houston Police shoot one year old baby on Art Acevedo's watch.

Hall of Fame Art Acevedo's statement on this matter? :

Sadly, Baby Legend was also struck.

In this same stunning statement of passive voice (presented without a shred of responsibilty, as if shooting a fugitive AT A GAS PUMP, were the only possible option), Acevedo calls the baby's mother a liar.

Enjoy your #1 Draft pick, Florida.

This is insight into George's kinks on the level of ASOIAF's pubic hair sex motif and I don't want to play anymore.

Hell or High Water (2016)
#hell or high water#this movie was trying very hard to shove texas into an ingestible package#which ends up cartoonish if you squint#but there is a truth to the cartoon aspect#no one is as smart as this movie says they are#and it is basically no country for old men cosplay#BUT it was enjoyable enough#and it made me see what the rest of the world sees in chris pine#he seems sweet but physically a bit of a jonathan rhys myers thing where it comes off more alien to me#but yes he was hot in this#too many dudes on the dancefloor

@the-august-one and I were chatting about The X-Files and we noted that most J/B shippers we know are also Mulder/Scully shippers. But we can’t quite pin down why that would be. Any ideas?

So far I have:

  • Competence kink
  • Mutual respect and trust
  • ??????

M/S was probably my first ship experience and was certainly my first fanfic writing experience (other than entering a Star Wars Fan Club story contest when I was 11).

  • 100% here for competence kink, of which M/S was really an archetype.  “Smart is sexy.”
  • Lets not forget the slow-burn aspect (the growing mutual respect and trust feeds into that).  
  • Been through hell and back together.
  • Seeing the real person underneath and accepting them.
  • IF anyone is going to kill you its going to be me.

  • Beautiful male protagonist with female coded trauma is ostracized and ridiculed. Chooses the right thing over the popular thing. Forgoes trappings of privilege for love** and adrenaline.
  • Female protagonist is superhumanly loyal with daddy issues, has honest to god complexity as a character, a talented specialist in her field but in a way that seems hard won rather than magical
  • They Respect the fuck out of each other first
  • Us vs the dark, corrupt universe
  • A drive called Quest
  • Those flashlights cross like glowing swords, man
  • "You're utterly nuts but I hate that I understand you completely"
  • (Trauma) sharing is caring
  • Probably soulmates but could just as probably end in disaster
  • NAME KINK FOR DAYS
  • A cascading series of angsty exchanges of self-sacrifice that produces an exquisite swell of emotional climax

**the fact that this love is for his sister is coincidental (I hope)

Speaking of The Great gif set I just posted, hot take discussion topic for sale:

The Great works as a mirror!verse where a twinless Cersei has positive female mentorship and the author intended you to like her

#much like robert#peter is source of gross humor and promiscuous incompetence#he has never been told no and it shows#tywin had no golden heir so he had to begrudgingly make do#catherine the great's mother was named joanna#which yes coincidence#BUT#you can't tell me joanna winner-of-tywin-lannister's-cold-ambitious-heart lannister#was a saintly gentle mother#and only that#no#I submit that she was a scheme queen on the social scene#cersei lannister#asoiaf#meta#and she can still have a jaime like love interest who comes second to power#I love love but the ability to pursue literacy for the lowerclass hits different#lies we tell ourselves for power and ego but less transparently malignant#game of thrones#today in thoughts no one asked for
