A friendly reminder to USians: if you are planning to vote on Election Day, your mantra is "Nothing I see today convinces me not to go vote."

Exit polls suggest DT cannot be caught? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Exit polls suggest KH has it in the bag? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly red? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly blue? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Polls can be misleading (intentionally or not). The methodology can be biased (or simply poor). Early results may not reflect what the full count will show. There may be a red mirage. NOTHING YOU SEE CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

The biggest Democratic win in swing states means nothing if democrats don't turn out everywhere to keep the reliably blue states blue.

VOTE. Wear appropriate weather gear if you think you may have to stand in a line outside (coat, hat, gloves, umbrella, sunhat, whatever, you know where you live). Bring water and a snack and something to do (book, game on your phone, podcast and headphones, whatever, you know what you like). GO VOTE.

NOTHING YOU SEE ON ELECTION DAY CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

the main characters in twilight aren't boring, y'all just refuse to engage with them beyond their most superficial, popular, meme-ified interpretations

hi heres the entire twilight movie as a stamp

the fact that the cullens don’t have pets is so fuckin weird to me. like rosalie would have a cat named tinker bell. emmett would have a big fluffy dog that he was obsessed with. and edward would have a demonic rabbit that fucking hated him and wanted him dead

its so insane to me how people will maintain the perspective that occupying armies have to fight by carpet bombing villages and refugee camps because theyre dealing with an enemy that blends in with civilian populations and not realize or refuse to admit thats because theyre fighting civilians who are forced to take up arms against an occupying power

Twilight peaked with that intro camera transition from Arizona desert landscape into the wet green mountains of the Pacific Northwest

The name pairings in Twilight are so fascinating and I can't help but wonder how much of it was intentional vs coincidence vs subconscious. Tend to think mostly coincidence with a dose of subconscious though. SM isn't exactly subtle when she makes references.

For example, Demetri and Felix. The two most famous conspirators in the murder of Rasputin were Grand Duke Dmitri and Prince Felix Yusupov. Did she know that? Did she do this intentionally? Or when she was naming them did she have this history trivia in the back of her head somewhere and was just like "these names sounds like they go together for some reason."

Then there's Jacob and Leah (and Rachel, one of Jacob's sisters). There's a bible story where Jacob wanted to marry a woman named Rachel but was tricked into marrying her sister Leah first and had to wait to marry Rachel. You'd have to assume she'd know this bible story.

Nahuel and Renesmee. Renesmee's nickname is Nessie, which she shares with the Loch Ness Monster. There's a lake monster called Nahuelito who supposedly lives in  Nahuel Huapi Lake in Argentina. So the two hybrids we actually meet in the story both share names with water monsters.

The most baffling to me, and I can't remember who first pointed this point, is Claire and Quil. Because there's a character in Lolita named Clare Quilty. She has Quil imprint on a two-year-old and then their names together sound like a pedophile character from Lolita. What the hell happened there?! Presumably 'Quil' comes from 'Quileute' but pairing it with 'Claire' is a really unsettling coincidence given the whole imprinting thing.
