Absolutely hilarious. 😭😭😭

This is the best interpretation of the mushroom post.

LiS (Alcoholic/Non-Alcoholic) Drink Headcanons

c/w: Mentions of drinking and alcohol 

Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, I’m supposing that these HCs are for 21+ versions of each character. 

Max Caulfield: - Still definitely avoids most alcohol even into adulthood and genuinely finds beer repulsive. 

- As such, on the few occasions when she does indulge, she’ll seek out stuff that’s borderline saccharine and goes down without any burn. Chloe suggested she try Soju once and Max realized just how outright dangerous this road would be and put an end to it after one sip. 

- Has a soft spot for a cocktail she found on Pinterest of all places called ‘Stop the Hourglass’

- While she was in Seattle, she definitely tried to be an “I only drink sparkling water” gal at one point before it was in vogue but just couldn’t make LaCroix or Fresca agree with her and gave up after a month or so.    - She does not, however, need to pretend that she loves coffee. In fact, its almost scary how much she works a coffee obsession into her daily life after leaving Arcadia Bay. - Not a caffeine addiction mind you, though that sorta comes with the territory, but an almost compulsory desire to buy and try different roasts and beans wherever and whenever she can. 

- As a result, a lot of her post-Arcadia Bay travels definitely involve taking Chloe on lunch dates to whatever cafes she can find. Chloe, for her part, is just glad Max never descended into full on millennial “don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee” behavior.

Thinking about something

yall i just realized the middle guy is Riz Ahmed I remember seeing this post fucking three years ago wtf

So I was doing some research and this fb thing was posted in 2013

and Riz Ahmed didn’t burst onto the Hollywood scene until 2014 with Nightcrawler (I know he was steadily working in England but I’m talking about worldwide fame that only Hollywood brings)

ON TOP of that, he filmed The Night Of in 2012, but it didn’t get released until 2016. Which means in this photo he has already filmed the role that will earn him bank and an Emmy, but in his mind he’s still just a struggling artist who may never “make it”. This image has level 5,000 in power. BUt also it means he was famous before he was famous, and he probably didn’t even know it. What a Godamn STAR

LIKE DO YOU THINK HE KNOWS THERE WAS FAN ART DRAWN OF HIM BEFORE THERE WAS FAN ART DRAWM OF HIM???

Okay, so a thing about Tolkien's Middle-Earth is that, for elves and other beings of comparable metaphysical stature, the "distance" between an act of will and its tangible result is shorter than it is for mortals. The universe is just more inclined to play along with how they want it to work, which is why they're not lying when they claim not to know what magic is even though the products of their craftsmanship are by any reasonable standard supernatural – they just make stuff, and it works the way it does because that's how they intended it to.

This has a number of fun worldbuilding implications, like inventors having tangible authority over things crafted using their techniques, regardless of who does the actual crafting, because they literally willed the principles which allow those techniques to work into being, or the fact that when powerful beings die, sometimes stuff that depends on techniques they invented stops working. However, there's a bigger implication that that's generally gone unaddressed:

Elves can't do science.

Like, it's straight up impossible. A Tolkien elf cannot construct and carry out a meaningful experiment of any sort – it'll always works the way they expect it to, but only for them. Confirmation bias is an insurmountable barrier.

I want to read a story about the elf who figures this out and it bothers them terribly.

I mean, my mom just talked to me a lot as a small child about Barbie presenting an unrealistic body image.

The OP does make valid points that it's fucked up that she didn't have access to dolls who looked like her as a kid, but that's not really a Barbie-specific thing as much as it's a "literally all of US society and the toy industry" thing, and Barbie's more of a reflection of that and benchmark of that than the driving force.

The first Black dolls in the Barbie line were "Colored Francie" in 1967 (who collectors usually refer to a "Black Francie"), and Barbie's friend Christie in 1968, but there wasn't an actual black version of Barbie herself until 1980. Also, because it was the 60s, a lot of parents flipped out because Francie was sold as "Barbie's MODern Cousin", and came in white and black versions, but Barbie herself was only sold as a white doll, so CLEARLY that meant Mattel had a nefarious agenda and supported interracial marriage.

I BELIEVE - and it's been about 15 years since I wrote the paper - that the first Latina Barbies were California Dream Teresa in 1988 and Dolls of the World Mexico Barbie in 1989.

There were some not-great, honestly-kind-of-fetishizing Hawaiian Barbies in 1975-ish, as well as *sigh* "Oriental Barbie" in 1981, marking the first Asian Barbie doll.

Barbie and the Rockers also had Black and Asian characters in 1986, and the 90s were a bit better.

At the same time, like. My Little Pony (produced by Hasbro, one of Mattel's biggest competitors) had two fairly racist ponies in the 80s - "Gypsy" in 1984 and "Wigwam" in 1987. So it's clearly not just a problem with Barbie or Mattel.

The toy industry has problems because our society has problems - and even moreso 30-40 years ago.

Barbie also released three new body types - Tall, Petite, and Curvy - in 2016:

Nowadays Barbie looks like this:

I mean, like Barbie, don't like Barbie, see the movie, don't see the movie, do what you want.

But when you're talking about a toy line that's been around for 64 years - Barbie will be a senior citizen next year! There are grandparents alive today who've never lived in a world where Barbie didn't exist - I'm just not really sure how useful it is to be like "Well they were shitty about representation 40 years ago" when the entire toy industry was, too, at that time. And I think it's a little silly to act like Barbie is the CAUSE of this rather than just being a product of the society we live in.

Like, as a Trans dude I have a fair lot of complicated feelings around things like Barbie but I ABSOLUTELY went out and bought this Barbie when she was released because that is trans Barbie and I love her.

Oh so the plural of surgeon general is surgeons general, huh? Well what about bunnies rabbit. Puppies dog. KITTIES CAT. Did you ever think of that, you sillies goose?
