Hob: “See, I was correct back in 1889. You HAVE changed.”

Dream: “...Perhaps.”

Hob: “You’ve had a...metaMORPHEUS.”

Dream: *regretting telling Hob his name* “Sister, you can take him now.”

Death: *laughing* “Are you kidding? He’s invited to the next family dinner!”

Blah blah blah when your card declines at therapy this, when your card declines at therapy that. No. When your card declines at therapy so they bring out your mother as a little girl, before all the trauma she endured (you can’t save her) and she asks you why you’re angry with her (you can’t forgive her either).

Adolin: You don't think I can get married because I'm a man?

Shallan: No, I don't think you can get married because you're in full Shardplate.

Renarin: For what it's worth, I don't think Kaladin could get married in Shardplate either.

Kaladin: Perhaps not, but I'd make a Radiant Knight.

“I am not an AU person” I tell myself, looking in the mirror.

“I don’t do AUs that completely changes the setting” I say, gritting my teeth, trying to convince myself of this.

“I do not-” I look at the damn prompt list again, tears running down my face, the Florist Au finds a foothold in my weakness for puns and bad jokes. I am lost.

I just. Goddamnit. Florist AU, Sol’s name. I can’t NOT.

Sym being friends with Dys, lonely Dys who Sym thinks really needs more friends. And then one day he’s like “You know, maybe you’d be happier if your apartment was a bit livelier. There’s a lovely Nightshade at the store that I believe you would get along with wonderfully. Why don’t you come by and meet her tomorrow?” :) (Yes, Sym owns a flower shop in this)

And Dys thinks that’s a weird way to put it, but Sym just kinda like, talks to plants sometimes, which is weird. But people also always get the feeling that the plants talk to him too so maybe it’s just on brand. So he just kind of reluctantly agrees to it.

He stops by the flower shop the next day and Sym is like “You made it! :D But I’m a bit busy right now, so how about you ask her about it and I’ll be with you in a moment? -Waves hand in the direction of the blue haired cashier at the register-

Dys goes to ask them about this mysterious Nightshade and they just stare at him, then smile, and eventually they starts laughing, but it’s a nice laugh. Too late does he notice the nametag that reads “Solanaceae.“

They break the ice and bond over how silly a matchmaking attempt it was and how weird Sym can be ‘cause yeah he does look human here obviously but they’re still 80/20 on him being some kinda fey being or an alien ‘cause he talks to plants and sometimes just kinda appears/disappears into thin air unexplainably and before you know it they’ve decided to grab a coffee later.

Meanwhile Sym in hanging out next door at Tammy’s cafe (which is where he actually disappears to 90% of the time, the man needs a lot of sugar to fuel his weirdness), and they’re just kinda excitedly talking about this matchmaking project that turned out so well.

/keepinventory true

Armor tough as steel, armed to the teeth,

Carved with runes to grant a magic sheen

Weapons hum with forces foreign, sharp

And gleaming, with no bones to crack anew

Inventory stuffed to the weight-strained seams

To leave behind the seeds, in lieu of coal?

Or craft the coal to torches, save a slot?

A player runs, and pries ores from the stone

And fears no damage taken from the trip

For what could monster do, that they cannot?

Their pockets spill trails of scarred andesite

As, now, they climb up jagged teeth of rock

They smile, look down, and let go all at once

For what is death to them, but going home?

I loved Apollo

More than I can possibly say

He was a real artistic guy

Sensitive, a painter

But he was always trying to find himself

He'd go out every night looking for himself

And on the way

He found Rhoeo

Evadne

Corycia and Hyacinth

I guess you could say we broke up

Because of artistic differences

He saw himself as alive

And I saw him dead

❝ ━ praeteritum tuum non exibit tecum. ❞

kindria's very existence had always been entrenched in culture, in the history of his people. and it's always an honor to share that with people he cares for. iovita happens to be the first witch that has a special place in his heart. they always seem a little homesick when hearing latin. in his travels, some languages simply didn't survive but latin had always been one of those languages that had stayed when any other did not. it's what he and his people knew.

smiling softly, he reaches out, cupping the back of the witch's head and gently presses their foreheads together. there's the briefest of stings but it fades, ❝ ━ whenever you should need a friend, or you want to explore mare de regium, you're more than welcome. think of my home as your escape, i don't mind. my people are fascinated by you. ❞ which wasn't an exageration considering the baskets of jewels and herbs alike they kept offering the witch when they were there last.

he steps back from them, a mischief lilt to his smile as he goes back to exploring inter mundos as though he hadn't been here a thousand times. there weren't many on another planet where he could call friend but he was most certainly proud to recognize iovita as one.

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

[theshadowrealmitself]

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

here's what ur gonna do. ur gonna get a plain tshirt from anywhere. from ur closet or ur dad or the thrift store or whatever. then ur gonna go to the dollar store or whatever equivalent u have in ur country. ur gonna get fabric paint and a sponge. ur gonna go home and take a cereal box or a cover of a magazine or something similar. ur gonna draw a design on it [or words. or print out a picture and trace it onto the cardstock) and cut out a stencil. then ur gonna use the sponge to dab the paint onto the shirt using the stencil. ur gonna do that thinly in 2-3 coats until it's opaque but not too stiff. then ur gonna let it dry for 24 hours. ur gonna cover that shirt with a thin towel and press an iron against the design for 30 seconds. then ur gonna wash it & wear it. got it?
