i've been rewatching psych (as i'm sure you could guess) and three things are really standing out to me on this rewatch
- the amount of times gus and shawn have to literally go "no homo" in a situation that really can't be explained any other way is just like. at this point it'd be less gay for them to just have sex
- obviously henry is sort of an asshole and a bad parent in a lot of ways, despite his best intentions, but in spite of that, even when their relationship is at it's worst in the show, it's crazy to me how much shawn and henry just like each other. yes we haven't spoken in over a year, now i'm in your house, taking your stuff, of course you're cooking me food, yes we're talking about cases but there's just a lot of - casual hanging out? i really do think despite everything that they had a good relationship until the divorce and falling back into that is easier than not. their relationship is actually the most insane, convoluted parent-child relationship on tv and i'm standing by that, but the undercurrent of like that it has is what i think makes it so interesting instead of just the classic love and hate
- they did juliet so dirty by having her think that shawn was really psychic. that makes her the only one in the main cast that shawn fooled, which is just. uncomfortable. and doesn't even make any sense! she's better than that. the only one that should actually think shawn is psychic is buzz and only because he's thinks it's impolite to think that his friends are liars

Alright, I think I like tumblr now.
A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it's a good day for everyone.
That was on July 7th.
Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all--the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it's immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.
On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs--nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.
There's a specific chain of reblogs that I'd like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.
But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.
99% percent of the people who have seen the post--virtually unchanged from how it left my dash--have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That's insane to me.
None of those 36 people know that they're part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.
And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.
You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.

I brought this unused Loki concept to life!!
I’d been eyeing this stunning design by @aleksibriclot for years, and a little while ago (after two years of working on it) I finally finished it! It has all the dark norse fantasy vibes that I wanted Ragnarok to be, and I figured hey, I can make it myself!
I had to up a lot of my leatherworking skills for this one, and I dove into a lot of new skills as well to try to make all the pieces a cohesive whole. It uses lambskin leather, suede cowhide, and veg tan, as well as an entire sheepskin for the cape!
This whole costume has truly been a labour of Loki love and I’m so glad I was able to share all the madness (process) and the finished look!

Anonymous asked:
i'm totally with you re: zutara. i love aang, i really do, but his relationship with katara is soooooo one-sided.
genuinely it would have made for a better coming of age if he learned to move on/realized he loved her for the projection she put up (everyone's carer and mom-friend) rather than who she was a whole person (he often didn't like her when she broke 'character' from that persona!).
There's nothing wrong with that, but part of growing up...is navigating that kind of thing. It felt like the narrative just handed her to him as part of the prize.
Also...from a story point of view it was unsatisfying after all the hints that turned out to be red herrings about her ending up with Zuko. Not to mention him and Mai was...Yikes.
My mom (least fandom person I know) actually said something once about shipping that changed my perspective forever, but about a completely unrelated story: "Why does she have to end up with one of them?" SHE DOESN'T. We could have seen Katara go back to one or both of the Water Tribes to train more or even teach too. Start a school for girl benders at the North Pole. Finally live a life for herself, and learn and grow on her own without having to look after others for once. BUT IF SHE WAS GOING TO BE WRITTEN OFF FOR ONE OF THEM, LET HER HAVE THE EMO BOY, OR AT LEAST SOME OTHER GUY. At least it would have felt like she choose him rather than the other way around.

imagine you have squirrels in your pants and instead of helping you, a bunch of strangers start spitting absolute bars about it and making your pain into a breakdance. i’d be inconsolable.
I do not trust all the millennial women who still have a crush on Peter Pan, you should’ve outgrown that and developed a crush on Captain Hook like a normal person.

hot take: Pippin is the only one of the hobbits who is ‘team Arwen’ in the ‘who is the most beautiful woman in the world’ argument
Pippin, after being formally introduced to Arwen for the first time: hey Merry. do you think if I asked nicely enough she’d marry me instead?
Merry: Pippin. *lays a comforting hand on his shoulder*
Merry: I think it is worth a shot.
Pippin: got it *wanders away*
Frodo: why would you do that
Merry: I want to see if he’ll really try it
#PIPPIN: IF I BEAT STRIDER IN ROCK PAPER SCISSORS CAN I MARRY YOU INSTEAD? #ARWEN: UHHHHHHH #PIPPIN: GREAT! BRB
Aragorn accepts the challenge knowing full well that, as he can literally read minds, it is impossible to beat him at rock paper scissors.
Aren’t you forgetting the minor detail that Pippin would likely never think of which one he will throw?
consider: Aragorn accepts the challenge assuming he’ll win easily. Pippin wins immediately.
Arwen: well, now I must marry him. we ageed.
Pippin: :D
Aragorn: Arwen please
Arwen: I love my tiny fiance
I love it
Elrond: I don’t like it either but you agreed that if he beat you in fair combat then he could marry Arwen
Elrond: so now my daughter must marry this hobbit
Arwen: I’m comfortable with that
Aragorn: please this isn’t funny
Arwen: you should have thought of that before you accepted the challenge, I’m engaged to Pippin now.
Pippin: listen I know this isn’t actually going to end with me marrying you but this is still the best day of my life so far
#6: The Secret Chapter by Genevieve Cogman
"Smile and circulate," Irene said through gritted teeth, drawing her skirts back from the blood that had spattered by her feet.
Rating: 4/5
Three Sentence Review: This was another great story from The Library, although I didn't think it was quite as good as some of the previous installments. I had a hard time keeping track of the large cast of characters, especially because I was listening to this as an audiobook. But I'm anxious to see where the secret dragon history plotline is going!

Is this anything: a Regency adaptation of Fast & Furious
#an array of light carriages#a curricle with wheel spikes#the trash talk between the riders is entirely unprintable#they compete for a place at Bath's most exclusive ball#one of them is a veteran of the napoleonic wars#two of them are secretly pirates on the run#who want to sabotage the ball and steal some famous silver cutlery#my god you could have jason statham playing a regency gentleman#which i think we can all agree would be the best performance ever committed to screen via @teashoesandhair
Someone must wear the blue-and-yellow striped waistcoat of the Four-Horse Club.
Mr. King must introduce Regency Statham to a Miss Austen for the length of a dance in the Assembly Rooms in Bath.
Colin Firth can make a cameo as a driver from before the wars, who gives everyone advice on how to be super fast and furious, and inexplicably his shirt is always wet
