The curtains were blue because everything in the room was carefully colour coordinated, reinforcing the character’s stylish and controlled characterisation. The curtains were blue because everything in the room was a different colour, reinforcing the character’s eclectic and globe-trotting personality. The curtains were blue because the character is elsewhere established to hate the colour blue, subtextually implying that their deceased spouse was responsible for that decoration choice.

The curtains were blue because throughout their filmography the director consistently uses cool tones to mark moments of distance between characters. The curtains were blue to tie the events in that room into the broader oceanic motif of this particular novel. The curtains were blue because the assonance evoked a contrast with the following stanza of the poem.

Even the curtains looked expensive: floor to ceiling velvet drapes, in a flawless royal blue. She tucked the saucer up on the windowsill and tied back faded blue curtains with a loop of string. The narrow blinds were the same navy blue as the pinstripe suit of the man who served eviction notice that sent them to this office.

The curtains were blue because the author’s childhood home had blue curtains, which they discussed in their letters related to their feelings of comfort in that place. The curtains were blue because the author’s childhood home had blue curtains, which they discussed in their letters related to their feelings of grief in that place.

The curtains were blue as an allusion to the contemporary joke about literary criticism, an extension of the author’s autocritical approach that will be further discussed in section seven.

The curtains were red, as a pun on;

The curtains were read.

RPG where the main quest will helpfully refuse to progress beyond any relevant points no return if you have any open side quests, thereby preventing you from failing side quests via accidental plot progression, except that side quests are numerous, very easy to accept by accident, and can't be abandoned once started. In some cases, the steps to avoid starting a particular side quest may be more time-consuming than just doing the quest; this is intentional.

“Of course autistic people can go to the bathroom by themselves and have jobs!!” Some can’t. They’re not burdens or an “epidemic” either. Please don’t get pulled into an argument about usefulness, because that feeds into their baseline eugenic idea that you have to “contribute to society” to justify your existence. Nobody’s worth is tied to what they can do for the state.

Okay but which Looney Tunes characters top? other than Lola Bunny obv

(With reference to this post there.)

Porky Pig, oddly. He'd have a lot of anxiety over whether he's doing it right, but – contrary to what certain essentialists may claim – how confident you are has no particular bearing on whether you're a top.

Another hilarious Spuffy/Bangel comparison is how Angel complains and bemoans never being able to go out into the sunlight, even says he’s jealous of Xander for being able to see what Buffy looks like in the sun (2x02), just constantly complains, and never tries to see Buffy during the day.

Then you have Spike… Mr “I was in the neighbourhood”, Mr “Security Blanket”, Mr literally constantly appears smoking and covered with a blanket because he couldn’t bear staying away during the daylight hours. I don’t think he complains ONCE about being a “creature of the night”, because it quite simply doesn’t stop him.

Just a funny observation!

you ever have situations that make you want to take people by the shoulders and go "you are not 15 any longer. this behavior is no longer quirky and cute. it is exhausting for you and everyone else to act like a teenager you haven't been in a decade or longer. knock it the fuck off"

thoughts on Katy Perry/Justin Trudeau?

It genuinely doesn't even compute. It gives me a feeling of unreality. Lots of things nowadays make me feel like "we can't be living in the real world, this can't be happening" but this is by far the most lowest stakes thing that makes me feel that way

may be a hot take but i think the fact minors can access 18+ content by just clicking a button that says 'yes im totally over 18 trust me' is like. totally fine tbh. its a non-issue. i dont care if curious teenagers are looking at porn. they've been doing that for as long as porn has existed. id rather teens explore their sexuality through images on the internet than rush into real life experiences when they're not ready for it yknow. the UK is trying to put stricter age verification in place (which in turn is becoming an online privacy nightmare) and like. for what. who is it helping. why is this a problem.

Reminder to self:

[iceripperthethird]

One important thing to learn as an adult is that there are plenty of tasks that you can half ass while tired and get a decent result on. So if it's the evening and you've got something you want/need to focus on or give energy too- let's say working out or studying Japanese or sewing- you need to do that first. You can clean the kitchen after with half a brain, I promise.

I’ll never not be amused by the fact that I can drop the words “crucifix nail nipples” into a conversation and some of you who have been with me since the livejournal days will join me in the flashbacks, screaming and crying all the way.
