Figuring Out Adulthood

Can't believe Brennan set up a courtroom scene fully without knowing that one of his players was a former legal professional

HC that whenever Amangeaux and Colin inevitably run into each other post-epilogue (probably somewhat often considering the paths they take), Amangeaux always tries to set him up with someone and meddle in his (nonexistent) love life and ofc Colin hates it

Colin: Please. Please stop. I’m just trying to get my vengeance

Amangeaux, a deadly spymaster who doesn’t currently have anywhere else to put any of her caretaking instincts: Oh but I just want you to be Happy!!!!

How to Lose Body Fat

Losing body fat is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. A healthy body fat percentage can help reduce the risk of various diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Here are some effective ways to lose body fat:

1. Consume Fewer Calories. The first step towards losing body fat is to consume fewer calories than your body needs. This can be achieved by reducing portion sizes, avoiding high-calorie foods like fried foods and sugary drinks, and increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits.

2. Increase Physical Activity. Regular physical activity can help you burn calories and lose body fat. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, every day.

3. Strength Training . Strength training exercises, such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises, can help you build muscle and lose body fat. Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue, so increasing muscle mass can help you burn more calories, even at rest.

4. Reduce Stress Levels .High levels of stress can lead to the production of the hormone cortisol, which can cause the body to store fat. Practicing stress-reducing techniques, such as meditation or yoga, can help reduce cortisol levels and promote fat loss.

5. Get Enough Sleep .Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism, leading to increased hunger and decreased metabolism. Aim for at least seven hours of sleep per night to promote healthy weight loss.

Remember that losing body fat takes time, and it's essential to make sustainable lifestyle changes. Follow these tips consistently, and you'll see significant improvements in your body composition and overall health.

Bishop Raphaniel Charlock: I wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens, the room where it happens~🎵

AU where Bill is given his second chance and uses it to quietly retire in Night Vale, Gravity Falls being far too conspicuous. Plus all the restraints on his power to keep him from immediately restarting Weirdmageddon are easier to work around in a place where rules are so bendy.

A few years later, Stan and Ford are tracking some anomaly or another and happen upon the town. Cecil of course narrates this, and wonders if this is "the mysterious six-fingered man that Bill, the chaos deity who retired to our quiet little town a few years ago, loudly rambles about in obscure, almost-forgotten languages when drunk." Cecil also mentions the betting pool about Bill's inane monologues and invites people to place last-minute bets on what the significance of the six-fingered man is. "Lover? Friend? Family? Enemy? Or perhaps we all misheard him and Bill has been talking about something completely different this whole time."

Ylfa’s trial being acceptance of Death has me in shambles tbh.

she leads her grandmother back to the house, and encourages her to stray from the path, but in doing so she comes across her great great grandmother, and realises this is the first soul she must escort as Death. and in doing so she leaves her grandmother with the parting image of a wolf who befriends her in the woods and follows her home, where it steals her grandmother away from her. and it leads to this cycle of each generation warning their children to stay on the path lest the Big Bad Wolf steal you away but as they get older they too come to realise that death is inevitable and can never be truly stopped.

and the Wolf has always died. his story is to die time and time again so these other stories may continue and live on. and yet this one time the woodsman never appears and never cuts him down and he is left with this grieving lost little girl who has yet to accept the reality of death. and so the Wolf feeds her, lets her kill him and consume him, and later on he lets himself be consumed again to help her one last time. and in turn she accepts death and becomes Death, and finally understands that death isn’t cruel or unjust or monstrous but simply is.

heeyyyyy percy jackson/riordanverse fans, if you want to read the sun and the star for a really nice price (free) then you should definitely not click this link, which definitely does not contain an epub and pdf file of the book!

(in all seriousness though i’m not sure if the epub works outside of adobe digital editions but i did apparently remove the drm from it so…it should? let me know if it doesn’t though!)

The map and poster have mild spoilers on them, so scroll fast if you don’t wanna see

baba yaga's got that rizz

I need fanart please

I am fucking ecstatic about the barbie movie‼️

Just like the Tumblr sexymen poll killed Queen Elizabeth and Destiel going canon forced Putin to "resign," I guess now, Barbie has arrested Donald Trump.

Well fuck

A lot of folks have chimed in after the most recent episode about where the princesses’ ideology unraveled for them, so thought I’d throw my hat in the ring: they’re trying to break free of their stories…but they’re still thinking like damsels in distress.

They were at their most admirable when they were fighting fate - literally, in cases like where Cinderella fought her Fairy Godmother. Yet there was a line from Snow White during this whole explanation where she used the phrase “hope for something better to come along”. 

And isn’t that the crux of it? Destroying this world, themselves included, and hoping someone comes along and makes something better in the ashes? Hasn’t that been the story for them so many times, left to wait for a hero they may never meet?

And spoken to Sleeping Beauty, of all people! A sleep like death, waiting in inky blackness for her prince to come - a prince that never came. She had to wrench herself free from those briars, use her blessings on her own, claw back agency in a story that was barely her own. Of course she could never agree. Of course she couldn’t possibly accept the idea of returning back to that inky blackness, and hoping something better comes around. It’s the same story as last time…but this time, she never wakes up.

I don’t know if it was intentional or if they’re gonna unpack that particular facet of it, because obviously, it isn’t like the princesses are impassive on their way to this solution…but I think it’s telling that their ultimate solution isn’t retaking agency. It’s surrendering it completely. Even with access to a book that could rewrite reality, they can’t visualize any version of themselves that can take control and make a better world - the closest they can get is romanticizing this idea of destroying themselves and hoping someone else makes something better in a world without them in it. They’re still defining themselves in the terms of the stories they hate. They can only see themselves as damsels in distress - now they’re just embracing the distress.

(D-fucking-W, guys.)
