I can't fully recognize myself again. I'm staring at the mirror, at almost 1am, thinking that something absolutely must have gone wrong with my creation (but something literally went wrong in our creation, we're like a badly written code that constantly breaks and multiplies itself into more and more chaotic form). I can't hear any voices except my own (they all went silent after screaming for hours), which is currently lost in its too poetic and irrational thought process. The moon isn't full, but I'm awake and I can't inject tiredness into my body this time. I must finally let the darkness suffocate me, gently, but my mind is too bright.

I have finally found it: the milhist equivalent to claiming that Victorian women fainted constantly from tight-lacing.
Archer et al. on 18th century military uniforms: "The gaiters were tight and the rows of buttons sometimes took hours to do up with a special iron hook." (emphasis added) Hours!! HOURS!! Countless battles lost, lives sacrificed, because the men couldn't handle their Fancy Leggings.
Tumblr media
...Needless to say, it does NOT take hours to put these on, even if you don't have a buttonhook.
Really annoying to read this drivel from four actual professors of history, not Internet randos making up wacky facts.

I’m the type of person who will find a specific storyteller I like and stick with them, only branching out for similar content, which leads into some funny situations where people ask what I like it’s like:
“Oh I like this audio drama called The Magnus Archives, and it’s sequel the Magnus Protocol, both made by Jonathan Sims”
Well what books do you like?
“Oh I’m currently reading Thirteen Stories by Jonathan Sims and it’s pretty good”
Um, are there any video games you think are interesting?
“While I haven’t played it but I do think Slay The Princess is interesting, and a lot of it is voiced by Jonathan Sims.”
Any music you like?
“My favourite band is The Mechanisms, which has Jonathan Sims as the lead singer.”
Favourite celebrity?
“Uh, does Jonathan Sims count? His writing style is really cool and I take a lot of inspiration from him in my own writing.”
No Thoth, Jonathan Sims is not a celebrity.
“Dang. Uhhh Captain Jack Sparrow?”
Do you mean Johnny Depp?
“Yea that guy. He’s cool I think.”

I've recently been looking at scans from the newest "Find Kirby!" book and I just wanted to show you these utter goofballs that I adore very much
!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD??? ???????? IM SCREAMING thank you for sharing this with me I owe you my life. This is incredible. LOOK at those guys. Having a lovely time.
At first, I thought that the topping on that cupcake was actually a bomb of some kind and that they were going to be pulling off some great prank, but upon looking more closely I realized the similarly-shaped topping in the upper left has the same rope-looking thing sticking out of it! Which means... they're just sharing a tasty treat over a good chat! Which is just as sweet as that cupcake must be!
(Or perhaps Magolor snatched it, which is why that Kirby is looking so angry... Adorable either way!)

As a consequence of it being my real introduction to the franchise, I’m used to everyone’s Transformers: Prime designs. Which means that when I look at other versions of Soundwave and Starscream, I ask the following: why are they so boxy?!
You mean to tell me this is Soundwave?
Tumblr media
Starscream, honey, what did they do to you?
Tumblr media
I will accept nothing less than 2010 perfection.

So, he HAS thought about this.

The only way for them not to be in danger, logically, is if the two of them not viscerally attached to Dean's head/memories. So, you'd think he'd have asked Cas to remove them from his own memories, too.
(And even that might not be fool-proof.)
But that's clearly not the case because...
Tumblr media
#spn 6x01#spn 6x21#of course dean cares#but the implication of this... isn't great#he's either being (a) stupid in the midst of his own angst or he realizes that (b) he CARES but not at a level that requires...#it's painful either way#i do wish lisa had had one more arc that centered around BEN in danger because it would've been the crunchy logical end to her arc#and re: truth serum what lisa wants IS dean but critically... dean with no strings!!!!#and what lisa craves is no-strings attached dedication which IMHO may be why she sought validation from loner type dudes in the first place#a persistent interest of hers to the point of dressing her kid up like her youth-focused object(s) of validation and affection#i know it was played for laughs but it's much crunchier to see lisa's hands at work in her 8 yo kid’s interests!!!! spiderman? no!! acdc!!!#anyway lis stated TO dean that she did not want the way he lived with his hunting and esp his connection to feeling responsible for sam#she should have been allowed to completely own it by seeing all of dean's world and understanding it at its deepest roots#OR easy solution might've been dean asking who???? to sam in the last scene though re: lisa and ben to imply his own memories were gone#ask adjacent#she does try to meet him halfway in a checklisted list of *so understanding* and all the right words#but it's so crunchy bc while she will tolerate grief and alcohol and the idea of saving the world in abstract#she IS threatened by what she perceives as dean having *other* familial obligations#and THAT'S the fuel for her as main character energy right there#sam and ben are paralleled in episode 6x01 right down to their clothing#anyway i just think her hyperboles of best night... best year... make a LOT of sense for how she moves through the world#when you stop to think about it#lisa is a study in hyperboles on some levels and it's beautiful how matt slows into that eventually

Francis Kinloch's Path from Monarchist to SC Militiaman, Summarized
John Laurens: Monarchy is trash, republicanism is the way, join me on the side of America Francis Kinloch: You're wrong, and I'm completely willing to destroy our relationship over this Anne Kinloch: My son, why do you hold such beliefs against your country? Will you please consider changing them? You know how it upsets me. Francis Kinloch: Sorry mama :( I will come home right now and fight for America

Seeing how we've established we want Morph and Erik friendship goals.
Morph: You know what. Screw this! I want out of this Jean, Maddie, Scott and Logan bullshit.
Morph: Scoot over Rogue! Let me sit on Erik's lap+
Erik: What?
Logan: WHAT?!
Morph: Come on Mags. We'd go great together. I'm bald. You're old, powerful and violent. I'd bring out the fun in you. You make me feel pretty
Erik:
Erik: You don't feel pretty?
Morph: If we don't make Rogue jealous. We'd definitely make the professor envious
Erik:
Erik: Okay now-
Morph: I'm not hearing a no!
Erik: I...am not saying a yes.
Logan: **rolls eyes*
Morph would soooo insert themselves into others' relationship drama. They're just so tired of basking in the angst of watching the man they love pine over the ultimate power couple: a duo who could only be wedged apart by a clone of one of them. Girls (gender neutral) just wanna have fun.
And they'd get so fucking into it. They're like "I'm sick of this baby garbage, I want some real drama. I'm gonna go fuck with the Magneto/Rouge/Gambit with a sprinkling of Chuck thing going on over there. And listen when I tell you: I'm going all the way. I was never able to chink the armour of Grey Summers and get between those two to stir the pot, but I'm playing multiple teams here, buddy, you just watch, I'm romancing all of you. You're all gonna be fighting over me by the end of this, and you won't even know where you started."
The whole team is watching on in horror like "this is worse than when they were being mind-controlled by Mister Sinister..."
(also I love Erik hearing Morph's pitch and only replying "...you don't feel pretty?" like he's already geared up to shower Morph with compliments after it's implied they're insecure. man is hooked.)

it really is absurd to me just how completely and suddenly homestuck went from a hugely popular inescapable cultural phenomenon to being just like. something you barely even see people cosplaying at conventions anymore

there is no disappointment greater than seeing a piece of media with a title that implies it'll be about time travel when it has nothing to do with it
