Merry almost Christmas day guys!!

I imagine Phoenix sometimes reuses this quote with Trucy and Pearls when they ask to peek at their Christmas gifts early or something <3 ("Pleeeeassse can we take a look? It's almost Christmas!" "I'm sorry, but 'almost christmas' means it isnt christmas") and then Edgeworth just looks on at his new found family with a fond smile thinking about how his life has changed for the better since the first time he heard that line. Even better situation is if Apollo and Phoenix say 'almost christmas means it isnt christmas' at the same time because Apollo has Phoenix's trials memorised. Maybe even Edgeworth tries to say it at the same time (he doesnt realise he's quoting at first but he does halfway through the sentence and by then it's too late), or Athena joins in as well since Apollo made her watch the case with him when she suggested watching a 'christmas movie' together. After that maybe Trucy tries to ask to see her presents every year and it becomes a silly sort of competition to see who can say the line first <3 the waa deserves goofy lil traditions like this <3

What do you love about Drarry?

This ask has been sitting in my inbox (and wriggling around in my brain) for some months. Others have answered it, very eloquently, and I didn’t know that I had more to say. But I do. Thanks for asking.

I love Drarry because of how completely, and how instantly, the characters transcended their original narratives. How the community finished reading Deathly Hallows in July 2007, said “hmm,” closed the book, and promptly started tagging fanworks with EWE (Epilogue, What Epilogue?).

Because we all saw that epilogue for what it was: the kind of future that we might imagine for ourselves in grade school, doodling the name of our cutest classmate in our notebook and making up names for our kids. Or the kind of future some parents would write for us, where we marry their friends’ children and never leave our hometown and never disappoint or surprise our elders.

But my hunch is that most of us, here in this space, have lived lives where we scrapped our own pre-written epilogues.

Whatever that has looked like for each of us — whether we came out, or got divorced, or left our religions, or had the baby too soon, or never had the babies, or have climbed mental health mountains, or picked a path less pristine — we chose different things to believe in.

I’ll be honest: I rarely return to the books that started it all. By now I know them enough. They live a bit in the same mental spaces as my own childhood. I love my childhood because I desperately love the smaller version of me who had so much to figure out! She was trying so hard and learning so much. But I don’t spend undue time reliving the particular traumas that got me here.

And most of the guides I trusted back then, who tried to shape me into a particular ideal of what my future should be? I have left them behind. It’s complicated. I could feel bad that their investment in me did not pan out the way they hoped, but I don’t owe them who I am becoming.

Likewise, I love these kids that went to magic wizard school and went through unspeakable horror, often at the explicit maneuvering and brainwashing of their elders. I observe the ways in which they were manipulated and shaped to have certain futures.

And then I free them from their author. I let them grow up to be something different. The child I was recognizes the child they were, and then together we agree to go forward to messier, wider, more true stories.

I think this is why I can keep reading & writing Drarry even as their original author spirals into hateful existence. To me it’s like the “okay, well then, I’m your mom now” response to a disowned trans kid or a pregnant sixteen-year-old.

We collectively see these (fucked up, and for good reason) characters and say, “okay! Well then, we’re your authors now. Get in. We've got places to go."

I think it's great that Tumblr took the one good feature aka the quick reblog of the Tumblr mobile app. Yeah. That's totally what I wanted. Having to wait for my phone to open a post I have nothing to add to is great. Far better than just casually reblogging it in passing. Yeah. Woooo. Amazing move.

Wait, you can't quickreblog anymore in the app?

Goddammit Tumblr!

Say what you want about Bastille, but no-one can deny that they, especially Dan, are lyrical and thematic geniuses.

I'm going through everyone's posts for Distorted Light Beam and the amount of different lyrics y'all are picking up on just shows how clever this band is.

Not to mention all the connections that have been made between this ONE song and the rest of their discography. Whether they're doing it on purpose or not this band ARE. GENIUSES.

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

A deleted scene from DR3

Both Nintendo and Spike Chunsoft knew precisely what they were doing when they introduced Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp with a shot of Nagito Komaeda in swimwear and, honestly, I have to admire that level of super villain bastardry.
