My favourite part of Dislyte is the one person I saw question why there are so many furries in the game.

Like… do you know that most of the gods… most of the gods are Egyptian (gods commonly had animal heads), or Chinese (gods and figures commonly were animals or plants), or Greek (gods commonly turned into animals)

What did you expect? You thought Sobek, the Egyptian Crocodile God, wasn’t going to be a crocodile?

Honestly, I think the creators showed great restraint, all things considered

Fuck. This is the second time in as many days that I've ugly cried over a Kingohger episode. I understood just enough of the kings' message. And what it means.

I just woke up, but I feel the need to share my ✨VISION✨

Rise Leo and Donnie are twins.

Turtle tot Leo needed glasses too he just never wore them.

I will die on this hill.

Because I used to be the same way, when I was a wee gal, I needed glasses, still do, but I hated wearing them so I didn't start wearing glasses untill I was like 9.

Leo needed glasses, he just never wore them.

Fight me.

Are you really a fanperson before you’re in at least one (1) fandom that has a dysfunctional family in it that sad gay bitches hyper focus on?

Level 40, you are so close, and yet still so, so far.

One of the great joys of reading Dracula was checking it against contemporary train timetables and seeing that Stoker had got every train spot on.

So let's see if Richard Marsh can do the same.

The starting point is that I've only been able to find a Bradshaw's guide from June 1896. So the times may be a little different from when Marsh was writing.

The last train of the day leaves Waterloo at 7.25, into Vauxhall at 7.30, and Basingstoke at 9.08. Marsh has it arriving into Basingstoke at 9.06 but all the other times match perfectly.

Marsh has the fare as 19 shillings and sixpence for three people. The fare to Southampton, per Bradshaw's, was 6s 6d in 3rd class, which multiplied by three gives us... 19s 6d.

I very reluctantly have to give this one to Mr Marsh.

I wish I had polls so I could see who tumblr’s favourite red dwarf character is (including kochanski)

I love to see gifs of Charlie during Midnight Rambler. He’s always so happy although I think they are all in their happy place during that song. But his movements, cymbal work, stick twirls…he’s just a happy boy playing the drums.

It's weird how there's like a fairly common subset of parents that name their kids as if they're like...house pets. Or maybe Pinterest boards? Treating their kid’s name like it’s a place for their expression in some way. Whether it’s the ‘KVIIIlyn’ types, the ‘Katniss Gandalf Winchester’ people, or even the ‘I like the sound of Kyeson’ gang, there’s always this weird projection of identity onto their little milk-barfing, pants-shitting, potato-shaped proto-person that concerns me.

And it’s to varying degrees—obviously—but I don’t know, man. A name is the one gift a parent can give that isn't really limited by their wealth, education, or societal class. You can pick anything! and it's completely free! So if the best one you can come up with is Maleficent Morticia Jacobs or something? It feels like that name says a lot more about the parents than it ever could about the person bearing it. And there’s a thread of selfishness and/or a lack of foresight that runs through that decision, however great or small they might be.

Names like this are making a lot of assumptions about who the kid will become. Some guesses or assumptions are kind of inevitable, I guess, but a lot of these names don't leave the child any real wiggle room at all.

What do you do with the legal name “Maleficent” if you don't feel like a Maleficent other than change it when you're old enough? Go by your middle name? I'm doubtful that Morticia will pass your vibe check if Maleficent failed it; kind of a lateral move.

The fact is that you don't know who your kid will be in X amount of years, and you know what? That's okay. It can be terrifying, sure, but it is okay. Some would say that it's kind of the whole point. That's why being a good parent is so fucking hard, and being a bad one isn't. Your job is to teach them what they need to prosper; to be healthy and happy with who they are. Regardless of who they become.

So maybe give them a name that can fit them no matter what they do. Do two middle names for coverage if you want, fuck it. Pressure cook that name in your brain. Really flip that bitch turnways mentally, y’know? 

Think about them signing contracts with it. Think about them performing with it. Think about it in wedding vows. Think about how the biggest shitheads you went to school with would've treated it. Think about it as someone's parent. Think about it as someone's grandparent. 

And y'know what? It's gonna feel gross, but you'll probably want to consider that they might fuck someday. Then picture how much deep seated embarrassment and resentment you would have for your parents if your partner seductively uttered “Maleficent” and then inevitably couldn't suppress their laugh.

If they decide to change it later anyway? That’s fine too. Some gifts aren’t meant to last forever. I can’t ride the bike my mom bought me when I was three anymore, but the gift is still personally sacred to me. 

tl;dr Give your kids a cool rock not a billboard. Something they can play with and build on while they’re growing, and use to express themselves when they start to figure it all out. One day they might not need it anymore, but unconditional love has a way of staying with you.

I wish I could read all the stories I’ve started and never finished, of course, but there’s such a special place in my heart for the White Collar AU with Bossuet/Joly/Musichetta because the Bossuet&Grantaire yearning in this was so real and raw and good,,

I'm glad Marian and Walter are writing to each other and keeping up their friendship. I do otherwise feel very sorry for Walter this week though!
