Nothing gave me more whiplash IN MY LIFE than going from acowar to acofas.

Remember when Feyre closed the chapter on her relationship with Tamlin and wished him well? Coz the Inner Circle sure keeps forgetting.

Fun cha cha cha fact: the song was played during a break in a NHL playoff game between Dallas Stars (a team with like five finns and green jerseys) and Seattle Kraken

There's a clip of it on this Yle article, not sure if it can be viewed outside of Finland

you'll never guess who absolutely refused to work in the show ring, decided the judge's vibes were off, granting her such great descriptions like "topline too short" and "no neck" because she roached her back, and made me look like an absolute noob because the judge's assistant was constantly hovering around me and telling me what to do.

OKAY NOT DONE TALKING ABOUT THE LITTLE GARDEN ARC

ESPECIALLY THE NARRATIVE PARALLELS BETWEEN ZORO AND SANJI AND DORRY AND BROGGY??? THE FACT THAT THOSE PARALLELS PARTICULARLY IMPLY THAT THEY HAVE A SPECIAL BOND THAT WILL LAST LITERALLY FOREVER???

THE VISUAL WHERE THE AUDIENCE REALIZES THAT THE MOUNTAIN RANGES WERE SKULLS?? PAIRED WITH THEM LYING IN THE SAME POSITION AS ZORO AND SANJI'S TWO DINOSAURS LEFT BEHIND ON THE BEACH?

LUFFY WAS SO SHAPED. I WOULD KILL FOR HIM. HE'S SO FERAL.

What came to my mind recently is a AU in wich Thena is a very talented and famous dressage rider. For Gil I thought he would be the one who is responsible for looking after all the horses at the most luxurious horse riding club. And Thena is a member at this club.👀

"Whoa, girl," Thena crooned, pulling back on the reins gently as Olympia slowed to a canter and then to a walk. Thena lowered to the saddle before dismounting and pulling off her helmet, patting her mare's sheer white side of gossamer fur. "That groomer really knows what he's doing."

"It's apple juice."

Thena whirled around, glaring at the sudden source of sound intruding on her space. He wasn't as close as she had feared, although most at the club still knew to give her an even wider berth than the horses.

She hadn't actually met the caretaker in person yet, mostly having heard how much the horses all seemed to adore him. She had doubted it to a certain extent, especially in the case of her Olympia. The sparkling white mare was just as antisocial as her rider.

Or so she thought.

Thena stared as Olympia happily nudged the caretaker's hand with her nose, inviting him to pet her with a swishing of her tail behind her. Her ears even flicked with joy as he showered her with compliments on her coat and her form and anything else he could think of.

And the stubborn and aggressive Olympia ate it right up.

"Thena, right?" he looked at her with a smile, still rubbing Olympia's nose as he took her reins in hand for himself. "I'm Gilgamesh, the new carer for the horses."

"Yes," she murmured, eyeing the man cautiously. He seemed nice enough, but didn't most people, at first? He was tall in stature and even wider than that. Perhaps it came from having to haul the hay. "I have heard about your exemplary work with them."

"Aw, that's sweet," he grinned at her, uncaring if she was making it up or paying him a false compliment or not. "I don't know about that. Some of us are still getting to know each other."

Thena was still taking in the way Olympia was nearly giddy from the presence of the caretaker. She had never seen her horse like this before. "Will you stop it?"

Olympia whinnied at her, though.

Thena bristled, "are you laughing at me?"

Gilgamesh tickled between Olympia's nostrils. "She's just excited because I promised her some sugar after your ride today."

Thena crossed her arms at the caretaker, walking beside him - although Olympia had proudly stuck her head between them - as he guided them both back to the stables. "And how often do you let her have this?"

"Just once a week," he promised her, unminding of her sharp line of questioning. "I know Olympia doesn't do well with a lot of sugar. But she really loves it. That's where the apple juice comes in."

"Don't tell me-"

"It's not from concentrate," he assured her preemptively this time, which only made her even more annoyed with him. "I press the apples myself and then I add it to her mix. It all tastes a lot sweeter for it, so then I can add more vitamins to it without having to argue with her to eat it."

"Well, that's..." rather brilliant, actually. Thena had long suffered Olympia's stubbornness about eating a well balanced diet. "I suppose that was a good idea."

Gilgamesh let Olympia nudge his face with her nose in affection, even giving his ear some attention. He just patted her cheek, letting her express herself freely. "She's a beautiful mare, and she's stronger than any of the others. She needs the right nutrition to keep that up. But she's also just like any young horse who wants to let loose and have fun sometimes."

Thena observed Olympia critically. It was true, she was relatively young for a mare in competitive dressage. And she had been in a rather good mood the last few weeks, the reason for which had eluded Thena. It seemed she had found it at last.

"Thank you."

"Hm?" he looked past Olympia's nose at her.

"For caring for her so," Thena ran a hand down her mare's neck, "diligently. It assures me that she's in good hands when I'm not here."

Gilgamesh ducked around Olympia's head to walk on the same side as Thena, still holding the horse's bridle gently. "You take really good care of her, and I know you want to know I'm doing the same here."

"Of course I do." It baffled her that some of the other riders in the club didn't care for their horses so much as see them as vehicles. She had heard some of them refer to the horses' rest days as 'tune ups', as if they were racing cars.

"I've met a few horses like her," Gilgamesh offered lightly in conversation. "It takes a strong rider to tame one this strong willed. I can see why you two get along."

"Because I am also stubborn and difficult?" Thena raised a brow at him.

"I was just gonna say because you both hate Ikaris."

Thena turned her head back to the track as a tiny laugh escaped her.

As if sensing her desire to keep her laughter concealed, Olympia nickered loudly instead.

"That's right, don't you?" Gil cooed to the horse, who stomped her front hooves in glee.

"Olympia," Thena sighed, although she had already gotten the impression that scolding her horse would do no good when the amiable caretaker was around.

Finally at the stables, Gil undid Olympia's bridle and slipped it off her head. He scratched her face for her, which made her shake herself off in appreciation. "It's friday, girl; let's get you that pedicure."

Thena smiled to herself. She could see more and more reason the horses enjoyed his company so much. "Thank you, Gilgamesh."

"It's nothing," he shrugged off her genuine praise of him.

She crossed her arms, "it is not nothing. I am trying t--Olympia!"

The horse whinnied again, nudging Thena continuously in the back with her massive snout.

"Olympia, that's enou-" Thena didn't get the chance to finish, nudged directly into the chest of the caretaker.

"Whoa," he let out a puff of air, one of his hands coming up to her arm. "Are you okay?"

Thena growled, pushing off of his - stupidly firm - chest and whirling around on her horse. "You and I are going to have a chat, young lady."

Olympia turned away from her like a sullen teen, flicking her tail.

"Look at me when I'm speaking to you!"

Gilgamesh just chuckled to himself, beginning the process of putting away Olympia's equipment so he could scrape her hooves. He let Thena have her discussion with her suddenly disobedient companion. He wouldn't want to interrupt and undermine Thena's discipline. Plus it was cute to see her arguing with a horse.

Still thinking about Kendall being so fundamentally hollow and blank and "the Rose Bride has no will of her own" ☹️

I love how in every post/video talking about TD winners and who deserved to actually win each season we just... collectively agree Heather deserved to win TDWT. Like, I haven't seen ONE TAKE being like "Actually, X deserved to win TDWT", all of them keep Heather as the winner and I love that for us.

NOT TO VAGUEPOST BUT SOME PPL I FOLLOW CLEARLY DON'T FUCKING KNOW TUMBLR CULTURE AND YOU CANNOT CALL URSELF A TRUE TUMBLRINA IF YOU DON'T RESPECT NIGHTVALE

[uselessnbee]

it's a constant battle between i don't want Will Byers to suffer anymore. he's been through enough and he deserves a break and i want Mike Wheeler to suffer. i want to see him break down to completely fall apart. i want him to get vecna'd or kidnapped to the UD. i want near death experiences. but Mike's suffering would bring Will more pain then if he had to go through all that bullshit himself. seeing the love of his love in pain is the worst suffering for Will Byers.

How does he fucking manage it

Been listening to Hind's Hall by Macklemore on repeat fuckin hell. THIS is what makes great artists like Tupac, they talk about what is happening and they speak the truth without care about repercussions. If people want to hear other pro-Palestinian music, there's two songs by Seth Watkins called Oh Palestine, Oh Palestine, and Fields of Palestine. Watkins is Irish, and he brings to the songs the drive of a group of people who have been subjugated in the past. Fields of Palestine in particular is an adaptation of the song Fields of Athenry by Pete St. John about the "famine" of the 1840s.

I've been too busy to watch the last few Liverpool matches and of course the one I tune in for is one of the messiest in recent history.

I don't even remember the last time I saw a team go down to 9 men and we got that and a disallowed goal that should have counted? There was an agenda against us today like one sus choice would have been bad, but three that can't be explained that dictated the game? EXPLAIN.
