i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

#i don’t know how to explain this to normal people 😭😭#for the record my coworkers didn’t directly question me on this #but i think i have vastly overestimated the amount of the population who is aware of like. Films.#NOT claiming that i have seen a lot - but i’ve mentioned three *REALLY* well-known films in the past four days #and got blank stares each time #the one of them was a REALLY good reference too… someday my top-notch association skills will be recognized #my first act as Mansion Acquaintance of the [redacted] Director will be to force everyone to watch a 40s romcom i didn’t even like #i’m getting off the point #the POINT is that It’s About The Catharsis

canon? found dead in a ditch far, far away

i bumped it with my x-wing

#star wars art #dinluke #luke and leia #star wars #luke skywalker #leia organa #din djarin #grogu’s ear and eye mentioned #i’m still fond of the idea of luke and leia growing up together #haven’t seen din’s armor in a hot minute and was too lazy to google the references so don’t expect to be impressed with how it looks #isn’t it crazy that we never got the third season of the mandalorian #⭐️chosen one⭐️ mentioned btw #bo katan kryze #padme amidala #anakin skywalker

Still thinking about none houses left grief, and while I understand where people are coming from, "it took me out of the world" is just... Really not a relevant criticism here. Like, that line is SUPPOSED to be jarring. It is supposed to be kind of darkly funny, but the point isnt for you to laugh. Its not trying to be a punchline. The point of that line IS to "take you out of the world" because the point is that *this world isn't what you thought it was.*

#if it startled you that something so irreverant and lowbrow would come up in a high fantasy serious world #...then maybe ask yourself if this is really a serious high fantasy world #also i do think its just elitist that everyone complains about the tumblr references and not the word for word bible quotes #like maybe the author was trying to make a point about why you accept that catholicism is a cultural constant but not memes?#maybe take a step back and ask yourself what kind of cultural artifacts you think are important enough to be worth mentioning #tlt #htn #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth #tlt spoilers

i forgor that siffrin doesn’t have a hat post-game

#in stars and time #isat #isat siffrin #isat odile #isat isabeau #isat mirabelle #isat bonnie #isat fanart #isat spoilers #my art :)#congrats siffrin on the new hat!! definitely not contraband!!#i get that siffrin has some reason to be arguably more of a “traveler” than the others #i just think that it's really funny that -#- odile “born and raised on the other side of the world” isat was also given an arguably incorrect title when “traveler” refers to her too #it's even mentioned in the game when the king has to clarify which traveler when he talks to sif before battle

ok but i think the well is a great sequel to midnight, an episode that should not get a sequel

like

no questions get answered. several more are raised. the creature is still unseen and is still as much a mystery. perfection.

#genuinely so fucking glad that no questions got answered #anyways so now that i think about it #blink was mentioned last week #midnight has a sequel this week #if were going with highly rated dr who episodes getting referenced maybe we get a heaven sent reference later on #thatd be neat i think #doctor who #dw spoilers #doctor who spoilers

i am losing my entire shit right now, this single panel caused a nuclear disaster in my ig comments when someone said "halsin just saying 'astarion's partner' instead of his name feels icky"

which is such a fucking reach by itself but descended into this in about 5 seconds

#ramble #i keep getting older but the fandom bullshit never changes #i'm in pieces rn i am begging this person to get some real problems #i feel like it's an offence to even MENTION the pyramid of harm/hate on this???? like that's a Thing #but offhandedly referring to someone as 'person-you-know's partner' isn't a MIGROAGGRESSION IT'S A DESCRIPTOR SFDHDKSSDK #am i on shutter island. is this real #literally every job i've worked. 'oh xyz's girlfriend came in today'. 'i met so and so's partner yesterday'#HOW DO I EXPLAIN TO AN ADULT THAT CALLING SOMEONE 'PERSON'S PARTNER' IS A VERY NORMAL WAY TO REFER TO SOMEONE THE OTHER PERSON DON'T KNOW #i know it literally doesn't matter but as like. a storytelling thing #in my mind halsin has probably known astarion a LONG ASS time and he WOULD know dorian. he went to the wedding akfhdfh #ashe does not give enough of a shit to remember people's names. he's been at that arena for 30 years and forgets there's even a hockey side #ALSO IT'S NOT REAL #i need to put my face in some moss i'm dying

dean uses cas as an angelic body pillow and sure it’s a little boring for cas just staring at the ceiling all night, but he’s been alive for a million years so he’s not too fussed. plus he enjoys his having his own personal weighted blanket

and then jack is like oh boy wait until i tell you about audiobooks

#lebanon public library was NOT READY for castiel bored ass angel of the lord #he’s in every day until he exhausts their collection of physical copy audiobooks #and then one of the librarians mentions libby to him and it’s game over #he’s got nothing but time and he’s going to listen to every book ever written just try to make a reference he doesn’t understand now #oh and also - what books does his start with?#complete works of kurt vonnegut obviously #supernatural #spn #destiel #castiel #dean winchester #spn headcanon #destiel headcanon #mine

i feel like the tumblr perverts need to be aware of the forcefem novel written in 1901 by a trans woman patient of magnus hirschfeld, wherein:

a lesbian hypnotises her girly stepson into believing he is a woman

then she hypnotises his father her husband into shooting himself when he tries to stop her

then she proceeds to live as a man and convince her stepson that he is HER WIFE

AND THEN WHEN THE COUPLE WANT KIDS (AS SHE HYPNOTISED HIM TO) SHE HAS HIS CHILD AND CONVINCES HIM THAT HE GAVE BIRTH TO IT

AND DECIDES TO RAISE THE BABY AS A GIRL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BORN MALE

AND THEN FINALLY ON HER DEATHBED CONFESSES EVERYTHING TO HER WIFE

WHO REFUSES TO BELIEVE ANY OF IT

the author's pen name is luz fraumann (yes she actually named herself "woman-man") and i wish i could tell her she's literally insane for this bestie and also how hard she would do numbers on tumblr dot com

(link to hirschfeld's profile of fraumann and extract from her novel, in german)

#queer history #trans history #queer literature #history #also #incest mention #i guess 😭 to be on the safe side #also the pronouns i used for the characters here are actually wrong #because the “lesbian” is explicitly noted to eventually consider himself a man #and the stepson/wife obviously considers herself a woman #and when the characters are living as these genders they are referred to with masculine and feminine pronouns respectively in german #but i tried to write the post to reflect this and it quickly became horrendously confusing lmao so forgive me #anyway. luz fraumann. you were total verrückt for this girl #i feel like she sits at the same table as irene clyde lmao who is a whole other can of worms #but i see there are a couple of posts about beatrice the sixteenth on here already #the early 20th c trans girls were wilding!#ALSO I DIDN'T EVEN MENTION THAT THE STEPSON INITIALLY HATES HIS STEPMOTHER BECAUSE SHE DROVE HIS BIO MOTHER TO HER DEATH. LIKE£&$£*&$
