has this been done for them yet

i love the dynamic of saiki and teruhashi because saiki can go "no i dont want to hang out with you" then he literally turns invisible and gos and hangs out with her also the dynamic of god and gods fave angel just slaps really good

[gallifreyns]

genuinely kinda crazy to me to minimize the weight of saiki catching teruhashi when she faints because she hasn't slept for the sake of being the perfect pretty girl. like that's not even hater shit that's just lying to yourself because you know damn well that him teleporting into that crowd to catch her is a huge show of his character development and how much he cares about her. his problem with teruhashi was always the amount of attention she draws because her being an attention magnet was in direct conflict with his primary goal of trying to make himself perfectly average so he wouldn't stand out at all, so for him to care enough about her that he would not only put himself in the spotlight to catch her but that he would worsen the attention he drew doing that by glaring at and reprimanding everyone for not caring about her speaks VOLUMES. and you know it's not a coincidence that she also does something in direct conflict with her primary goal in life (being the perfect pretty girl 24/7) by telling the boys that she forgot what they were talking about so she can go thank him for it... these are clearly actions that are directly meant to be compared because they both sacrificed something they have historically viewed as integral to their comfort and happiness for each other. even if you don't think it's romantic (which... it clearly is meant to be; so sorry if you dislike that), it's still a blatant display of how much their relationship has developed and the care they have for each other.

GOD. still the funniest transition in the show bar none

Here it is folks:

My definitive ranking of my least favorite bodies of water! These are ranked from least to most scary (1/10 is okay, 10/10 gives me nightmares). I’m sorry this post is long, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this.

The Great Blue Hole, Belize

I’ve been here! I have snorkeled over this thing! It is terrifying! The water around the hole is so shallow you can’t even swim over the coral without bumping it, and then there’s a little slope down, and then it just fucking drops off into the abyss! When you’re over the hole the water temperature drops like 10 degrees and it’s midnight blue even when you’re right by the surface. Anyway. The Great Blue Hole is a massive underwater cave, and its roughly 410 feet deep. Overall, it’s a relatively safe area to swim. It’s a popular tourist attraction and recreational divers can even go down and explore some of the caves. People do die at the Blue Hole, but it is generally from a lack of diving experience rather than anything sinister going on down in the depths. My rating for this one is 1/10 because I’ve been here and although it’s kinda freaky it’s really not that bad.

Lake Baikal, Russia

When I want to give myself a scare I look at the depth diagram of this lake. It’s so deep because it’s not a regular lake, it’s a Rift Valley, A massive crack in the earth’s crust where the continental plates are pulling apart. It’s over 5,000 feet deep and contains one-fifth of all freshwater on Earth. Luckily, its not any more deadly than a normal lake. It just happens to be very, very, freakishly deep. My rating for this lake is a 2/10 because I really hate looking at the depth charts but just looking at the lake itself isn’t that scary.

Jacob’s Well, Texas

This “well” is actually the opening to an underwater cave system. It’s roughly 120 feet deep, surrounded by very shallow water. This area is safe to swim in, but diving into the well can be deadly. The cave system below has false exits and narrow passages, resulting in multiple divers getting trapped and dying. My rating is a 3/10, because although I hate seeing that drop into the abyss it’s a pretty safe place to swim as long as you don’t go down into the cave (which I sure as shit won’t).

The Devil’s Kettle, Minnesota

This is an area in the Brule River where half the river just disappears. It literally falls into a hole and is never seen again. Scientists have dropped in dye, ping pong balls, and other things to try and figure out where it goes, and the things they drop in never resurface. Rating is 4/10 because Sometimes I worry I’m going to fall into it.

Flathead Lake, Montana

Everyone has probably seen this picture accompanied by a description about how this lake is actually hundreds of feet deep but just looks shallow because the water is so clear. If that were the case, this would definitely rank higher, but that claim is mostly bull. Look at the shadow of the raft. If it were hundreds of feet deep, the shadow would look like a tiny speck. Flathead lake does get very deep, but the spot the picture was taken in is fairly shallow. You can’t see the bottom in the deep parts. However, having freakishly clear water means you can see exactly where the sandy bottom drops off into blackness, so this still ranks a 5/10.

The Lower Congo River, multiple countries

Most of the Congo is a pretty normal, if large, River. In the lower section of it, however, lurks a disturbing surprise: massive underwater canyons that plunge down to 720 feet. The fish that live down there resemble cave fish, having no color, no eyes, and special sensory organs to find their way in the dark. These canyons are so sheer that they create massive rapids, wild currents and vortexes that can very easily kill you if you fall in. A solid 6/10, would not go there.

Little Crater Lake, Oregon

On first glance this lake doesn’t look too scary. It ranks this high because I really don’t like the sheer drop off and how clear it is (because it shows you exactly how deep it goes). This lake is about 100 feet across and 45 feet deep, and I strongly feel that this is too deep for such a small lake. Also, the water is freezing, and if you fall into the lake your muscles will seize up and you’ll sink and drown. I don’t like that either. 7/10.

Grand Turk 7,000 ft drop off

No. 8/10. I hate it.

Gulf of Corryvreckan, Scotland

Due to a quirk in the sea floor, there is a permanent whirlpool here. This isn’t one of those things that looks scary but actually won’t hurt you, either. It absolutely will suck you down if you get too close. Scientists threw a mannequin with a depth gauge into it and when it was recovered the gauge showed it went down to over 600 feet. If you fall into this whirlpool you will die. 9/10 because this seems like something that should only be in movies.

The Bolton Strid, England

This looks like an adorable little creek in the English countryside but it’s not. Its really not. Statistically speaking, this is the most deadly body of water in the world. It has a 100% mortality rate. There is no recorded case of anyone falling into this river and coming out alive. This is because, a little ways upstream, this isn’t a cute little creek. It’s the River Wharfe, a river approximately 30 feet wide. This river is forced through a tiny crack in the earth, essentially turning it on its side. Now, instead of being 30 feet wide and 6 feet deep, it’s 6 feet wide and 30 feet deep (estimated, because no one actually knows how deep the Strid is). The currents are deadly fast. The banks are extremely undercut and the river has created caves, tunnels and holes for things (like bodies) to get trapped in. The innocent appearance of the Strid makes this place a death trap, because people assume it’s only knee-deep and step in to never be seen again. I hate this river. I have nightmares about it. I will never go to England just because I don’t want to be in the same country as this people-swallowing stream. 10/10, I live in constant fear of this place.

Honorable mention: The Quarry, Pennsylvania

I don’t know if that’s it’s actual name. This lake gets an honorable mention not because it’s particularly deep or dangerous, but it’s where I almost drowned during a scuba diving accident.

MERLIN, 1.10  — “The Moment of Truth”

[gallifreyns]

me writing 9-1-1 fic: i have to know the exact make and model of this helicopter and 3 years from now i'll have a pilot license in my quest to get every fact absolutely right just in case 9-1-1 the tv show: what if a house was alive and it would NOT stop calling the cops

[gallifreyns]

MOFFAT: River's not just his wife - she's his widow. somewhere in the terrible future, on a battlefield, the 45th Doctor dies in her arms and makes her the same promise she once made him - it's not over for you, you'll see me again. So River buries her husband and off she goes to have lots of adventures with his younger selves and confuse the hell out of them. Until, of course, she ends up in the data core of the library planet, and realises she'll never seem him again. And then she starts to wonder why anyone would call a moon "Doctor". Ah... Yeah, some version of that could still work. The Doctor worrying that she'll get lonely in the library, and popping his dying mind inside a moon. God, look at those words. I actually typed those words.

RTD: I've never forgotten that Doctor Moon thing, it's so clever. Every time i watch that story, I think, it's him, it's The Doctor, and no one knows.

so you're telling me in an episode where a man is trying to replace his wife who left him, Eddie grapples with memories of his wife who left him and it's (re)established that the most important Trait of his wife who left him is Parent of His Child (this is emphasized by the aforementioned the Case of the Week plot). they end the episode by reminding the audience that Buck is currently the person in Eddie's life fulfilling the role of Other Parent to His Child. this of course means nothing at all.

the fact that we need 8 hours of sleep is ridiculous we should only need 4 and the other 4 should be used to be cozy in your bed and rub your legs together like a cricket and listen to music and think about your little scenarios

“0h no they never said they’re pulling YouTube content! It’s just the new stuff!”

Transcription: video clip showing the new Watcher streaming platform. Speaker one says “-early adopters to sign up, help us work out the kinks and provide feedback to make it a better experience for everybody.” Speaker two says “yeah the beta will be a transitional period where you’ll still be able to access content on YouTube, but beginning may 31, you’ll need to become a member of our streaming service to access full seasons and new releases.” Speaker three days “and as a thank you to our first members-“

I’ll emphasis “to access full seasons AND new releases” that’s what they said in the video. They’re only walking their statement back because of the backlash (and I wouldn’t even trust it frankly- I’d imagine they’ll wait a bit, then close the YouTube videos anyways)
