Look there's nothing better than a cis person who gets it. Few things will make a day as quickly as staggering into the pharmacy, leaning hard on the counter, and saying "bartender, a bottle of your finest boy juice" and watching the lead pharmacist absolutely lose his shit laughing. They've never heard our jokes before. It's so fun.

Me after watching Betty and Simon’s love story: Aww they’re so cute together! I love them so much omg

Goes on tumblr: “Simon is selfish for not going on the bus with her! And their relationship is toxic.”

Me: I’m uh… going to. Pretend I didn’t see this .

i think it's not my place to speak but the way johnnys disability was treated at the end of steel ball run feels wrong

Simon probably stays clean shaven cause excessive facial hair probably reminds him of how the crown gave him that massive beard and being Ice King in general.

I wonder if Arthur was meant to be such an impossible guy to pin down, or if it's a side effect of being one of the characters who doesn't get a featured perspective. he's such an enigma to me. he stands to inherit a fortune and a title. he takes his fiance on fishing dates. his best friends are an asylum manager and a cowboy, who he has been on unspecified adventures with. he doesn't keep a diary but he does send telegrams, which he signs simply as 'Art'. he loves Lucy deeply and tells her often. he rows apparently. who is he?

Shout out to fresh hot mess Clark Kent with the designer eye bags. Truly a hero the younger generations can relate to

thinking about my old roommate/friend who used to say "so I heard you like salad" as a joke whenever there was an awkward pause in the conversation and it turned out to be a really good conversation opener because everyone would immediately start talking about salad

Was listening to a song on the way home that felt how these lights looked in the alley along the way. Felt like a bit of kismet.

Something I just realized about Adventure Time despite having finished it a good few months ago is that despite gradually becoming more and more backstory-heavy until by the end it’s like 80% backstory and 20% forwardstory, the one question it never answers is how a Dr. Doom-style mad scientist monarch became close friends with a random 12 year old and his stoner older brother.

do you think lucretia only went by madame director on the moonbase so people wouldn’t call her lucretia around davenport

One thing that I really admire in long-form storytelling is when the writers/showrunners/etc. aren't afraid to make Big and Permanent Changes. There are so many series that I've eventually fallen out of love with simply because everything stays the SAME - no one ages, no one dies, no character arcs feel like they're ever really resolved. Sure, maybe shit gets shaken up for an arc or two, but eventually everything returns to the status quo. It feels like being fed the same dish over and over again; you liked this in S1, so surely you want the exact same thing now in S7???

And like, I can SEE where it's coming from. A story is a huge and finely-tuned machine, and it takes guts to just throw a wrench in the works, especially if your audience loved it the way it was to begin with. Any change, even the good kind (going off to college! Getting that job you wanted!) comes with grief. (What about your family - your friends - that old corner store across from your house with the ice cream you loved? That one coworker who you were kind-of-sort-of buddies with, but not enough to properly stay in touch?) But that's just life. And that's why I feel like I connect far more with stories that actually evolve, and show their characters evolving with them. Your mother dies. Your best friend loses their magic. You lose your sword arm. Your home burns down. None of it is coming back. The old times were good - but the new times can be good too, in a different way.
