The equivalent of Antarctic research stations but in fantasy worlds like for example there’s an evil terrible region of rotting and nightmares but like nine miles from the edge there’s a very ugly little building optimistically called Observation Center 1 and it’s full of normal humans just vibing. for like 90% of the year they can’t leave because that’s Death Fog Season but it balances out because they can study the ghost migrations and also hear the whalesong-like calls of The Unspeakable Ones asking you to come outside for a game of checkers but thankfully the checkers set is kept locked up to slow down anyone that gets tempted

Poll: if your mom remarries when you’re 26 years old is that guy still your stepdad or is he just your mom’s husband.

reading Blumbger's article on the development on DAVG with literal tears in my eyes. they had to remake the game from multi- to single-player in a year and a half.

also, another insane example of the mass effect favouritism:

we are reaching a level of bias not even just towards the game, but the development team. granting budget for requests of one team, but not the other. what if I started killing people.

I'm looking at all these interviews I never saw bc I wasn't in the fandom yet and this one with Jacob is kinda making me crazy

What 'spins Louis out' is not Lestat cheating....but Lestat giving Louis permission to also cheat..........

When Louis asks Lestat "so I can fuck who I want?" he wanted Lestat to say no 💀💀💀💀💀

As upset as Louis is about Lestat cheating he never actively protests it, never tells Lestat to stop, only asks "Aren't I enough?". Even in 106 it's Claudia saying "Kill Antoinette", not Louis. Louis is like...fairly cordial to Antoinette overall (allows her to keep singing at the Azalea even when Lestat has been cheating with her for WEEKS, never calls her out of her name, refers to her as 'your lover' in 106 vs Claudia who calls her 'desperate trash'; yeah he kicks her door down, but he lets her put clothes on before leaving lol). The cheating never appears to be a relationship-ender for Louis, even though he's clearly not happy with it.

But Lestat saying 'you can fuck whoever you want' 'spins Louis out'...

It's literally giving gender roles....Lestat cheating is not a threat to the traditional family structure Louis wants bc husbands are allowed to cheat...Louis being given permission to cheat is worse than Lestat cheating bc wives aren't supposed to be allowed to do that....🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices

vampire comedy ideas that will never not be funny to me:

a vampire who was turned as a child sternly telling a much older looking vampire to ‘respect their elders’

“i could sleep for a week” *proceeds to literally sleep for an entire week*

a vampire shouting “hey, we’re not done here! don’t you DARE fly away from me!” at a rapidly retreating swarm of bats

“you can’t tell ANYONE what i just told you okay” “i swear, i’ll take it to my grave” *cut to the next shot in a dimly lit cellar containing several coffins, each with a vampire sitting or lying in it* “so you’ll never guess what-”

a vampire saying “i never look good in pictures of me” but instead of a photo on their phone they’re looking at their portrait in an art gallery

*outlandish story about something that happened to them in the 12th century* “you totally made that up” “how would YOU know” “because i was THERE, asshole”

a vampire walking into a glass door because they can’t see their reflection in it

Unhealed Wounds Your Character Pretends Are Just “Personality Traits”

These are the things your character claims are just “how they are” but really, they’re bleeding all over everyone and calling it a vibe.

╰ They say they're "independent." Translation: They don’t trust anyone to stay. They learned early that needing people = disappointment. So now they call it “being self-sufficient” like it’s some shiny badge of honor. (Mostly to cover up how lonely they are.)

╰ They say they're "laid-back." Translation: They stopped believing their wants mattered. They'll eat anywhere. Do anything. Agree with everyone. Not because they're chill, but because the fight got beaten out of them a long time ago.

╰ They say they're "a perfectionist." Translation: They believe mistakes make them unlovable. Every typo. Every bad hair day. Every misstep feels like proof that they’re worthless. So they polish and polish and polish... until there’s nothing real left.

╰ They say they're "private." Translation: They’re terrified of being judged—or worse, pitied. Walls on walls on walls. They joke about being “mysterious” while desperately hoping no one gets close enough to see the mess behind the curtain.

╰ They say they're "ambitious." Translation: They think achieving enough will finally make the emptiness go away. If they can just get the promotion, the award, the validation—then maybe they’ll finally outrun the feeling that they’re fundamentally broken. (It never works.)

╰ They say they're "good at moving on." Translation: They’re world-class at repression. They’ll cut people out. Bury heartbreak. Pretend it never happened. And then wonder why they wake up at 3 a.m. feeling like they're suffocating.

╰ They say they're "logical." Translation: They’re terrified of their own feelings. Emotions? Messy. Dangerous. Uncontrollable. So they intellectualize everything to avoid feeling anything real. They call it rationality. (It's fear.)

╰ They say they're "loyal to a fault." Translation: They mistake abandonment for loyalty. They stay too long. Forgive too much. Invest in people who treat them like an afterthought, because they think walking away makes them "just as bad."

╰ They say they're "resilient." Translation: They don't know how to ask for help without feeling like a burden. They wear every bruise like a trophy. They survive things they should never have had to survive. And they call it strength. (But really? It's exhaustion wearing a cape.)

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

love seeing revisionism in the wild “free the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where that’s still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuff”no it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts aren’t fucking sexual organs.

Where is the “multiples of 5” option 😤😫🥺

Daryl (+Beth) and ‘settling down’

In season 6, everyone is surprised to learn that Michonne and Rick are now together, after they were literally caught naked.

Daryl seemed to think little of it, and continued his season 5 and onward trend of disinterest and lack of any real passion or enthusiasm.

Then Abraham asks him point blank,

He’s closed off, but lets his face slip for just a moment. It’s like you can see him seeing that moment right before she was taken- again and again. He looks so sad and tired. From season 5 he seems to use his hair as a physical shield from others.

Daryl never opens up about Beth, not even to Carol or to Rick, but it’s more in what he doesn’t say that’s revealing. He doesn’t say, ‘no actually, I never have thought about that’. Instead, he says

It reminds me of another scene from early in Alexandria, where he’s fully shut down post-coda, and Rick tries to reach him. I think it may be Rick trying to kind of sus out what type of bond Daryl and Beth had, by bringing up his loss of Lori. Either way, it seems very intentional to have Rick open up about this specifically to Daryl. Like he said in the episode following her death, “I know you lost something back there.”

He’s clearly trying to encourage him to go explore their new home, like the rest, by hinting that even though Lori didn’t make it, he’s still going on. He’s not dead, and neither is Daryl, not yet at least.

Again, what Daryl doesn’t say is more interesting. He doesn’t say ‘oh well that’s sad you lost someone, I can’t relate’. Instead, he seems to acquiesce to what Rick is saying, an agreement and sharing of his nostalgia.

‘Here we are.’ Just not with them.

Why would he want to go look around? She’s not there so it’s hollow anyways. It means nothing to him, because she’s not enjoying it. She’s gone, just like Lori’s gone.

In 4x13, it’s a totally different Daryl than we’ve really ever seen, relaxed, teasing, content. He doesn’t even have the same constant pacing about to explode, about to leave any minute energy. He’s planted into the ground, happily. They no longer look for the others, the seasons are changing, and they have each other, and that’s enough now. Without realizing, the entire goal of their days has changed, from frantic searching and despair, to more ease and comfort.

Beth makes it clear she’s tired of moving on, so it’s all left to his decision. When he finally suggests they stay, she doesn’t seem shocked. It looks like she knew she could convince him to stay from the start, and just had to play it right. She looks happy, just like he does.

Abraham never met Beth, but he met her on her death bed, cradled in Daryl’s arms. He saw the emotion, the care he took of her lifeless body.

Like Rick, I’m sure he’s assuming that if Daryl had thought about settling down since the world had ended, it would have been with the girl whose body he held with such reverence and sorrow.

He never says No,

because he had thought about it, but shit doesn’t settle.
