i wrote a letter in my mind, but the words were so unkind about a man i can't remember i don't recall the reasons why; i must have meant them at the time is this the sound of sweet surrender?

[eruhamster]

There have been multiple times where I've seen people are like "haha Hua Cheng made up a story about being kicked out so Xie Lian would take him in haha so silly" so I just wanted to point this out.

He was quoting himself from when he was a little boy.

He was scared to just outright say who he was, but he kept trying to jog Xie Lian's memory (though ofc being a ghost with a photographic memory, he may not have remembered that normal people don't remember things from 800 years ago). He was constantly quoting himself. He showed Xie Lian the palm of his hand with the intention that Xie Lian see his totally fucked up fate and realize who he is.

To be honest... Hua Cheng doesn't really lie to Xie Lian. He lies by omission sometimes, but he does not outright lie. And I feel like people are missing something by apparently not being aware that Hua Cheng was trying to tell Xie Lian who he was, without telling him.

That's why he started trembling and laughing when Xie Lian recalled the story of the suicidal boy that Xie Lian told 'live for me!' - The entire time, he thought Xie Lian forgot about him. Until then.

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

percy who refuses to let his anger into his home. percy who refuses to hug or kiss annabeth when he's angry because he doesn't want his interactions with her to be poisoned by his rage. percy who sits outside or goes for a drive or a walk until he calms down before reentering his home because he refuses to be the angry man that haunts a home, he refuses to become like gabe. if annabeth catches him off guard when he's angry, he tries to keep a distance as he trembles with rage that he tries so hard to quell because he doesn't want to scare her (again) or somehow hurt her. annabeth who reaches out to help him and assure him that it's fine. percy's hands that shake with anger and fear all tied in one, his touch feather light and barely there because he's afraid if he gives himself an inch with her, his wrath will explode from within him and he'll become the monster of his nightmares, the monster of his mother's nightmares.

And one amang, an Iyrysch man,

Uppone his hoby swyftly ran…

WAIT HANG ON - slamming the brakes on drawing this stupid picture - do you nerds even KNOW the etymology of the word “hobby”? The thing you do for pleasure? The thing you have too many of? The thing you spend too much money on and share with your friends? The thing tumblr probably is to you? Those hobbies?

It comes from a now-kind-of-extinct breed of Irish pony-horse. It was called the Irish Hobby. Supposedly the hobby got its name from the Gaelic word obann, or swift. They definitely were. They’d obann your pants clean off.

Fast tough little bastards, built for rough terrain and renowned for their speed and stamina, hobby horses belonged to the Celts, and their highly annoying style of mounted warfare. but their conquerors liked hobby horses a lot, kept them, used them for themselves, and found them useful enough, despite the fact that they also had famously useful things like mounted knights or horse archers. A lightweight Irish warrior, mounted on a hobby horse, was called a hobelar.

Reportedly and in depictions, hobelars rode without stirrups. Or saddles. Or bridles. Or - well - this is all sounding very improbable, because the hobelars COULDNT have just been charging around basically bare-assed on naked ponies, screaming, and somehow in the process undoing the composure of actual mounted armoured knights. Knights who, I remind you, had stirrups. Stirrups are useful! It’s quite likely the hobelars had some gear. And clothes. and weapons. And the ponies probably had some tack - I am picturing a bellyband that you could at least hang a saddlebag on, and a neck rope for catching the bloody thing, even if not a saddle. But the overall impression, somehow created by people on darling little ponies, was apparently quite striking and fearful.

I mean. God Forbid People Have Hobbies.

Anyway after a while, whatever people became the British had eventually conquered all of the rough terrain that hobbies were best at, and horse archers just got sexier, and mounted knights became aristos, and all the bog and forest people had been subdued, so it was time to sunset the hobelars. but WAIT! Hobby horses are still tremendously fun and appealing! They’re so fast! and you can ride them without a saddle! Sure, they’re not up to the weight of a mounted knight, or indeed a lot of guys… but surely we can still find a use for a hobby or two? In the back garden? Somewhere?

At which point an English king decided to keep hobby horses just for fun. No military application. No further development of the technology. Not for fun. Just as expensive, pleasurable, pets. Just for the joy of the thing.

And that is how hobby (activity done purely for pleasure) comes from hobby horse (small horse) possibly from obann (swift.) they’re very interesting and you should look all this up for yourself! because it sure sounds like Elodie doing a bit, doesn’t it?

Today, Irish Hobbies are functionally nonexistent. References for drawing include the Kerry Bog Pony, the Connemara, and (I personally think) Dartmoors and Exmoors. They’re said to have lent their speed to the Irish Hunter/Sport Horse and from there to the Thoroughbred, but every damn horse in the world claims relation to the Thoroughbred, and they can’t be THAT thoroughly bred.

At any rate - you can never have enough hobbies. Just be glad that yours aren’t expensive beasts with minds of their own, eating their heads off in the pasture! …Unless they are. In which case, you’re part of a proud tradition.

Whumptember 14: "I’m on my way. Just hold on a little longer"

Flame gets rescued from this predicament... or does he?

"All you need to do is hold on a little longer. I'm almost there."

This was clearly a hallucination. Flame would have told it so, out loud, except his throat was parched and his tongue refused to move. So the best he could do was viciously think at it.

You're not real. Go away.

Seriously, who did his tired brain take him for? Moth didn't even have the power of projection. Even if he had, this basement was soaked in Starlight's nullification energy. Not to mention all the external anti-force fields that coated the entire lowel level of the building. No super could get in or out without official permission.

"And you're so sure I don't have agents on the inside, are you?"

Besides, there was no reason for Moth to rescue him this time. It wasn't like the burning house incident. His curiosity had been thoroughly satisfied, and he didn't care whether Flame lived or died.

"That's where you're wrong. You owe me too much for me to just let go."

You're not real. You're a lie.

"Just hold on a bit more."

The projection dissipated. Flame was alone in the dark again, with nothing to focus on but the pain and the numbness from his restraints.

No one was coming.

He let himself slip back under.

(the second dream spoiler btw idk)

if it's not for excalibur i would have absolute zero interest in whatever plot that is

[keferon]

Did you think I was done? Ahahahaha no, I have more.

Because chapter 70 of MOMU gave me the very dynamic between them that I missed so much, I just blacked out and started drawing uncontrollably lmao

Also. ALSO. I noticed a while ago that Prowl has the habit of..like…constantly frowning. So. I did a bit of research and made this graph.

In 70 chapters, Prowl frowns rougly 104 times. And the intensity of this gesture is very clearly correlated with the development of his relationship with Jazz, as you can see ahahahahah It might be wrong tho don’t take me seriously I’m not good with graphs

Bonjour, time traveller! you have just landed into the sixties, the decade where fashion broke rules and made new ones on the spot, where revolutions were led by go go boots and bold eyeliners. Everything, the hair, the ideology- were bigger louder and freer. So what do you wear in the sixties again???

✶. . .

Early 1960s (1960–1964): Conservative, formal, neat. Think Jackie Kennedy, Mad Men. Muted tones – navy, brown, gray, pastels.

Mid-1960s (1965–1967): Youthquake! London Mod culture explodes. Bright colors, bold patterns. Brights! Canary yellow, lime green, hot pink. Paper dresses, mary quant, futuristic dresses, geometric patterns.

Late 1960s (1968–1969): hippie movement. Rebellion, anti-establishment, psychedelic fashion. Warm earthly tones, long hair, long skirts, barefoot. Love & freedom.

(ps: only 30 pictures were allowed ugh!)

Grace Nixon's letter to Dick Winters, 9 Feb. 1995

Dear Dick, This little card says very little of my deepest appreciation, affection, and gratitude for all you have done for me—for your thoughtfulness to even write Miguel about his grandfather, his great grandfather, etc. touched me greatly. You are and always have been all these years such a true friend in all respects. I do not know anyone whom Lewis respected more than you, Dick Winters. [...]—and again, thank you, Dick Winters. Much love, Grace

There's a little period here in 2016 where Kamala Khan and Miles Morales are both Avengers but while Kamala knows Miles' identity as Spider-Man, Miles doesn't know Kamala is Ms. Marvel, so she just keeps fucking with him as two different people. Miles I guess just thinks he's running into a lot of short rude brunettes lately

From Spider-Man 2016 #3 and Ms. Marvel 2016 #7

It's actually so heartbreaking that in the temperance ending Johnny just.. leaves. Gets all these calls, maybe even texts, from people who don't know the extent of what happened. Who are accusing him, that are mad at him. Especially in the frame of reference that this was V's last wish. That it was V who gave the body up. That it was V who wanted this, wanted to save Johnny, Johnny essentially powerless to stop them ('just scared for ya').

And the thing is.. Johnny just lets everyone. Lets them make their own conclusions, lets them be mad at him. Lets them blame him. Lets them think, that after the love of his life the person who's ever wholly understood or cared about him the most like no other ever could had 'died', that it's his fault, that he could do that to them... Or just lets them think the worst of V as their final lasting impression or mark on this world. Doesn't try to defend himself nor V. He just leaves. Just takes it.

And you would think. You would think the one he would at least tell is Kerry. That the one to actually understand the most would be Kerry. I don't think any of the other love interests could get the whole engram situation like him, they don't have that personal history or connection to the code on the relic like he did after all. Kerry knew Johnny. Enough at least. But Johnny doesn't tell him, and Kerry just thinks V ghosted off on him and Johnny just lets him think that. And it just makes you wonder.. why would Johnny do that? Why would he do any of this?

I still can’t believe this is a take being said. My male ex tried to convince me of this too.

Who upholds the patriarchy? What is the “patriarchy” in this scenario? Who does the patriarchy benefit?

If men disliked the patriarchy it wouldn’t fucking exist. The patriarchy exists because the majority of males uphold it in society. Males as a class oppress females as a class on a societal and individual level.

Them bringing up “trans men” too is hilarious, no feminist thinks trans men are truly benefitting from the patriarchy in the same way cis men do. Trans men are still female and so are still hurt by the lack of research into female healthcare, abortion bans, and unless they ‘pass’ as male PERFECTLY, are still susceptible to male violence
