there's a fanfic in the Mama (2013) AO3 section wherein Annabel outgrows her rocker style, marries Lucas, and becomes like...an uptight Karen mom who doesn't care about Victoria or something

look me in the eyes when I say this:

that woman is well into her 30s. it isn't happening. she is going to be an Elder Punk someday

maybe they will get married, but she'll have to slam her laptop shut so Victoria doesn't walk in and catch her googling "Vegas wedding chapel appropriate for traumatized 9-year-old?"

(Victoria is trying to walk louder. Annabel is trying to accept the occasional unintentional Niece Jumpscare. they love each other fiercely)

In My Mailbox Update/Book Haul Update (8)

As I’ve finished doing my Waiting on Wednesday updates, I thought we might try another kind of update post for a little bit. I used to get a lot of books in the mail, and I did a semi-regular post called “In My Mailbox”. I thought it would be interesting to go through those and see what the results of those books were. This series is definitely inspired by Kayla from BooksandLala’s Closet Unhaul…

its always very important to me when one character is like all american boy next door and the other character is scraggly little angry rat from the wrong side of the tracks, and they are best friends. lovers, even. souls intrinsically intertwined, one could say

Favorite Character Meme [3/5 Relationships]: Shawn & Cory

"I always thought Topanga was the one person I could never live without, but she's gone, and you're here, and I'm alive so it must be you . . . Shawnie, I love you."

Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job.

Diana Wynne Jones wins big once again for understanding that the funniest way to write an isekai/portal fantasy is from the point of view of the people living in the fantasy world who look at the character who got isekai’d from our world and are like ‘WHAT is that guy’s deal???’

Howl/Howell stumbling back into his moving castle drunk after a night with his rugby bros is like the second funniest scene in that book, closely followed by poor Sophie getting reverse isekai’d and taking a day trip to Wales and suffering the terrible ordeal of a ride in a car.

I always feel insane seeing Cassandra Clare discussed as just, like, a regular author and not someone who needs to face a tribunal for fandom war crimes

the 50$ sword i got from a shady flea market was diagnosed to be a wall-hanger rather than a prop so i spent today making it the prettiest wall-hanger in the land
