Honestly I’m still hung up on the fact that in 4x14 when buck says “why are you just telling me [about the will] now” and eddie conveniently answers as if he had asked “why are you telling me about this at all” and doesn’t explain why he kept it a silly little secret for a year. like ok so if buck had never said it would’ve been better for him to get shot you would’ve just kept the will to yourself until you actually ate shit and died ??? r u serious rn. eddie…

Reconnaissance Marines are considered among the best trained and toughest in the Corps. [...] They are physical prodigies who can run twelve miles loaded with 150-pound packs, then jump in the ocean and swim several more miles, still wearing their boots, fatigues and carrying their weapons and packs. They are trained to parachute, scuba dive, snowshoe, mountain climb and rappel from helicopters. [...] almost none are trained to drive Humvees and fight in them as a unit. What they are doing in Iraq – seeking out ambushes and fighting through them – is something they only started training for around Christmas, a month before being deployed to Kuwait. Cpl. Person, the team’s primary driver, doesn’t even have a military operator’s license for a Humvee and has only practiced driving in a convoy at night a handful of times. — Evan Wright, The Killer Elite, Rolling Stone, June 26, 2003

i try to give benson boone the benefit of the doubt when people say he's copying harry but saw that he was on snl tonight and he's literally wearing what harry wore during the fine line era...like dude come on a little originality, inspiration is fine but this is just too much.... 🙄😒

just letting you guys know that the last time i even spoke a tad negatively about benson boone i had 15 messages in my inbox all ranging from mildly upset to complete deranged and it blew my mind that he had that much of a ride or die fanbase because…. girl lmfao

I need to build the habit of adding alt text, I continuously forget that's an easy to add thing

For my own growth of experience - for people who need alt text, what does it help with? What is your experience like without vs with it?

I know it's an accessibility, I am just curious how it aids, so I can better understand what to keep in mind!

something more serious—

being back in this fandom after not having to do anything with it for a good FEW YEARS has left me um- to say the least very lost and confused.

what is “proshipping?”

i dont want to cause anyone discomfort or harm by being misinformed— if someone doesnt mind explaing i would very much appreciate it. and if there are other things i should inform / educate myself on before putting myself into a hole PLEASE let me know! I tried doing my own research… lets just say my brain is a little fried at the moment.

what should i look up? what should i be wary of?

THANK YOU in advance!

being away from the art community and all communities / fandoms in general for so long kind of has already put me into a hole. ive been very nervous and hesitant on joining back and sharing what i love as well as my art to everyone.

is it just me or is professional makeup almost always too yellow/orange? even the “natural/no makeup look” looks. it’s not that they don’t blend it well, but every single client they seem to give an entirely new complexion. a girl can look healthy without looking like she lives in Cali

(I'm gonna get flamed for this probably, but here goes nothing.)

I never really got the mindset behind unplanned pregnancies. Maybe it's just because I've never been in that part of life, or maybe it's just with how I think.

Whenever I see it in things like stories, and everybody is celebrating about the person being pregnant, all that I can think of in my mind is, "Why? You didn't plan for this. It was an accident."

I'm sure that's likely not the mentality others have, but it's just something I struggle with understanding. It sounds terrible, I know, but right now, I just think of that stuff and my mind just thinks about how if you look at that child when they've grown up, will one of your first thoughts be that they weren't planned? That were unintentional? An accident, potentially?

This is definitely one of those things I just don't understand or can't fathom, but I really want to. I want to learn the whys and hows so I can understand others more.

[overlymelancholic]

when i learned we don't know the answers to hard problems of consciousness, i broke down. i took my brain in my hands in an attempt to make it talk. the more i tried to understand, the more it screamed back at me.

i tried to lie down and make peace with it. the spellings of her name still split my mind in half and i became my own instrument of self-inflicted violence.

i know how to be gentle. how to create a home out of the aftermath. where to look when all the echoes are deafening white noise. but i fail in the face of apprehensions. fervour takes over my mind.

i will be gentler. i promise i will be.

I'm looking at it.... I ain't laughing bro....

I keep seeing this discourse and wish to settle things once and for all - Wanda Maximoff editon

soooo I've actually been comvinced to rewatch WandaVision and to watch Agatha All Along because I have been told that Disney finally aired a show that isn't Loki that is actually good. I still haven't decided if I like it or not but I think I do because I just watched the entire show except for the last 2 episodes in one go-

The thing I keep seeing though is people disagreeing on whether Wanda Maximoff is a good person or a terrorist.

Believe it or not, the arguments about this get pretty HEATED so please share your honest opinion. : )

Please also share your reasoning for whatever you picked, I am very interested. I've read some very good points for each characterization so far and want to see what the general consensus is. :D

Texting or Calling

All right, I have a serious question: Does everybody really like texting more than calling? Because personally, texting gets me tired way too fast and calling helps me understand tones more and gets my talking juices going.

Therefore, poll:
