i love characters who could get the absolute Shit kicked out of them and still be fine but as soon as someone touches/handles them gently it’s like “ah. im going to shatter to pieces now thanks”

thinking about it again

and by it I mean the dress Bertha wore to the Met in the second season finale

2026 booktok discourse: sad books are a cognitohazard (they make you sad)

King of the Hill is back! Don't forget Jonathan Joss (John Redcorn) didn't just die he was murdered for being gay and married to a trans man.

The next hearing for his murderer is August 18th I think. They asshole is more offended that he's being called a homophobe (he has a gay brother gasp!) than murderer (which isn't even in question he confessed immediatly and there were at minimum 5 witnesses)

The media tried to blame it on Joss’ past mental health and addiction issues. He's somehow also supernaturally strong and big and scary and that's not racist at all says white cops.

Please don't forget him. He was so proud and excited for king of the hill. You don't deserve to be murdered because a white dude says u need to die

"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.

The real Ward McAllister is one of my historical nemeses (I think everybody should have at least one, for their health or whatever), but damn if I didn’t feel a little bad for TGA McAllister as he was leaving Mrs. Astor’s house in disgrace. Even if it was his own fault.

Man, we have got to stop treating art like it has an expiration date. That show stopped airing? Doesn’t mean it can’t haunt your every waking thought. Everybody’s into this album, but you don’t have the energy for new music right now? It’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready. That movie’s fifty years old and indie as shit? Incredible, you have the chance to share it with folks who might never otherwise feel that particular punch of delight. Books don’t go bad. Shows inspire fandoms decades after they’ve wrapped up. We’re still looking at cave paintings and statue work from ancient times and letting the joy of creation bring tears to our eyes. That’s the point of art. It’s as close to immortality as we ever get. Why try to give that magic a shelf life?

Hey. I think I hate you.

…You know what, I think I just forgave Lady Sarah.

Oh, not for her past treatment of Gladys. She just looked so sad at the idea that she’s been replaced, that all she’s going to get for her years of running the estate is “go buy yourself a new house in London miles away from your only remaining family, don’t let the heavy, ancient door hit you on the way out.”

Now that I’ve had five minutes to stop clutching my pearls, I just wanna grab Marian by the shoulders and shake her. Sugarplum needs to get her shit together.

(I assume she will after George doesn’t die and they all have a minute to sit down and chat, but I will be pacing a hole in the floor until I see it happen. And it better not be like that time in Downton Abbey where Rose thought Atticus cheated and we the audience were deprived of a proper make-up scene.)

[lilacsilver-writes]

oh, HELL no

how dare you expect me to wait a week after that bullshit cliffhanger, Julian Fellowes

I don’t even like George, but if anything happens to him I’m going to set something on fire

One of the coolest parts about being a fan of fanfic is you can actually contact the author. And they will respond. And then you can message them nonstop until they allow you into their lives and then you’re becoming their beta reader and suddenly you know multiple authors of all types of fiction books and fanfic authors who will drag out their deleted fics for you to read at a moments notice.

Anyway. Comment on fics and message authors. It’s absolutely worth it.

one thing about me is that I will listen to the Beach Boys’ “Don’t Worry Baby” on loop for a month straight

also have y’all ever noticed how many of the Beach Boys’ greatest hits are just them listing locations

I feel like I don’t say this enough, but

FUCK!! FUUUUCK FUCK FUCK!!! WHAT THE FUCK!! WHAT IS GOING ON!!

[lilacsilver-writes]

watching the 2022 Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? again, and I did not remember there being some kind of red balloon Pennywise-ish shit happening in the first episode

this creepy assassin guy wasn’t even in the book. why is he here. what does he add. Hugh Laurie still owes me answers for this.
