#hot and miserable

[from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras]

When Tolkien said Elrond is “kind as summer,” he had clearly never walked a mile and a half to the train station in work clothes while it’s 97 degrees plus, like, a thousand percent humidity on a day when everyone’s overripe trash bins are at the curb waiting for pick-up. Unless he did, in which case maybe we’ve all been misreading Elrond for decades and what Tolkien was really saying with that analogy was that Elrond is only as kind as a brutally unrelenting swamp heat that literally sucks the will to live right out of your body and leaves you with terrible under-boob sweat. I guess it could go either way.

God fucking dammit SoCal. It’s almost October. Why won’t you cool off?

We had one week of nice 70s weather and you RUINED IT!!!!

@fishy--friend glad you don’t live in SoCal? Currently, with the hurricane in the gulf coast and the heat wave here, it’s like Groudon and Kyogre decided that it’s a good idea to pretend that the US is the Hoenn region.

Talking to people outside your fandom about your media of choice is always so interesting because after a while in fandom, you get used to the same old discourse but in real life you will be hit with some completely orginal and insane takes. I was taking about Les Misérables to some family friends over Christmas and they tried to argue that Javert was a completely unnecessary part of the plot. Like he didn’t need to be there at all. Truly a level of discourse that some of you on tumblr could only dream of coming up with

5 stages of choccy milk grief :

1. denying the soul is there. you don't see it. just five more minutes.

2. okay so the soul found you. try bargaining with time to see if it will go away on it's own. okay, it isn't.

3. grip empty cup in silent anger- realizing that currently, you are like the empty cup in many ways. don't break their glass cup. why did you make such a stupid promise that you're not sure you can keep

4. set the cup down and stare at it with depressive melancholy, dreading that it has to continue; you promised you'd do this.

5. acceptance. lock the fuck in

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one

Enjolras being described as firm, upright and hard and Grantaire as soft and yielding, leaning on Enjolras' firmness, sounds like something from an explicit fanfiction ngl.

To prove my point ...

“In my dreams I am kissing your mouth and you’re whispering ‘where have you been?’ I say, ‘I’ve been lost but I’m here now. You’re the only person who has ever been able to find me.’” - Sue Zhao

AoT is literally anyi Korean Japanese propaganda

are you the same person who kept telling me that the odyssey is about imperialism

like no actually aot is about the cycle of violence and the futility of revenge and how love persists in spite of hate

Haha, well since we’re already on the topic of June’s sex life — I have to mention one of my videos that you’ll probably never find on YouTube because it’s age-restricted. I honestly don’t even know how I managed to make it, because it’s entirely focused on their sexual obsession with each other.

I just really wanted to compile all the scenes from season 1 where the sexual tension was off the charts. Like… unhinged. I don’t know if any other ship has that kind of explosive chemistry. The symbolism, the not-so-subtle gestures, the sheer intensity — it’s insane.

There’s this moment where she adjusts her dress and he catches a glimpse of her knee — and immediately he starts nervously tapping the table. And she sees it. And it’s just… electric. Or when that tension exists even with Serena right there. She enjoys it, and she wants him, and it’s so obvious.

Or the bathtub scene when she’s thinking of him. Or when they finally sleep together and she’s looking at that wild river current rushing outside, like a metaphor for the storm inside her and also that’s an insanely charged sexual metaphor. It’s all just so much.

Oh, and I absolutely adore that scene where she’s eating the porridge and gets so lost in thoughts about him that she starts licking the spoon like crazy and he sees it. It’s completely insane.

Go watch that video immediately. I swear.
