#and for 4 of those years

In 2016, my 8th grade social studies teacher made us watch the presidential debates. Now I don’t remember a single thing about those debates, besides the fact that he turned to my class, gleeful smile on his face, pointed up at the tv screen, and said “this is history in the making”

That fruity tall as fuck straight man had no idea how right he would be for the next 8 years

I need ya’ll to realize running back to TikTok like nothing fucking happened is exactly what this motherfucker wants. He wants you to run back and to be grateful. He wants you to forget that the Supreme Court has just passed something that indicates they can pursue intense censorship and remove our access to free speech and non-propagandized/monitored spaces whenever they want. He wants you to be so focused on all this that you completely forget that he’s about to pass at least a hundred horrific policies stripping us of our rights as soon as this week. He wants you to stop talking about Palestine who is still in danger and is in desperate need of aid despite the ceasefire. He wants you to turn your attention away from all the people in LA suffering thanks to the fires.

I don’t want to say it’s just an app, because it’s not. I was incredibly sad about losing TikTok yesterday. Many of us had a community that meant a great deal to us torn away suddenly and I am not saying we shouldn’t be upset about that. But I am saying that as much as the Supreme Court has more important things they should be focusing on over banning TikTok we have more important things to do then run back to an app that was obviously used for a publicity stunt by Trump and will inevitably be influenced by him and his fascism.

We’ve been discussing boycotting Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and other Meta platforms due to their connections to Trump and his posse of billionaires. TikTok must be treated the same way so long as the CEO and company is in Trump’s pocket.

ace loves cherries so he definitely knows how to tie a cherry stem with his tongue right???? RIGHT?????? A THOUGHT FOR THOUGHT??????

he'd he'd he'd he'd he'd stare off into space during lunch or during an unbirthday party and you just see his lips moving around. he's just leaning on his cheek or he's leaning back on his chair so you're entranced and curious on what he's doing. you'd probably just listen to deuce say his stories and ace is just, "mhm..." "yeah." while his mouth sounds full.

and then later on you'd see him shift and stick his tongue out so boredly—picking up or spitting out the tied cherry stem back on the plate. AND HE DOES THIS HOW MANY TIMES EVERY TIME HE EATS CHERRY TARTS SO SO YOU'RE JUST???? JUST????

AND EITHER HE KNOWS OR HE'S JUST AS OBLIVIOUS THAT YOU'RE ATTRACTED BECAUSE HNGH—

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

I ABSOLUTELY love the little headcannon that Captain Marvels eyes are squinted because CC Batson always forgot to wear his glasses and that's how Billy remembers his dad (his hero)

You could go even farther and say that Caps hair looks jelled back because CC would push his glasses onto his head which pushed back his hair, but Billy of course forgot about the fact that there were glasses there (he was so Itty bitty, he wouldn't be able to see the top of his dad's head to see the glasses, only that the hair was pushed back)

I finally watched Good Omens and I love it

Y'all, I hate to say it, but no, Nandermo did not "go canon", in an "alternate universe" or through "implications" or otherwise. They were making fun of us. That was the point of all the little nudges and open questions that were quickly squashed. That was the point of the hypnosis ending. The point of that hypnosis was quite literally "Here, let's give the perfect fake wish-fulfillment ending to parts of our fanbase" (which is why there were three. They're fake. That's the point. The point is that they are supposed to be fantasies to appeal to people's hopes for the show).

Having Nandor and Guillermo as a classic sitcom couple set to a laugh track in a universe where none of the other characters exist was a jab at shippers who wanted Nandermo to be canon and cared more about that than the other characters or the premise of the show. They were making fun of "and they lived happily ever after" type fanwork. They were making fun of people who, in their eyes, ignored the irreverence and violence and black comedy of the show in order to make fluffy slash content. They were explicitly saying: "This is how we see you, and this is how we see what you want from this show, and we are telling you that it won't happen and we in fact have contempt for the very concept."

Why do you think they kept baiting the ship until the literal last lines of the show? They were making fun of us. They were saying "Ha! You still thought this would happen? After years of us saying it won't, to your face? Idiots." It's a comedy show, and they were making shippers the butt of the joke. They've been doing it for seasons now.

This is literally what Supernatural did back in the day. And nobody said that they made Destiel canon when they had an in-universe/alternate-universe stage play where the actors "explore Destiel". Fans back then recognized that it was a joke at their expense. That's what this is. Same as what happened in BBC Sherlock that one time, where in-universe conspiracy theorists said that Sherlock was in love with Moriarty (a ship the creators deliberately baited, mind you, same as they have here), specifically for the purpose of laughing at and making fun of that theory.

I'm so sorry, guys. I know you wanted to hope. I know you wanted to believe that the things the writers said at that con weren't true, but they were. I know because I wanted to hope too, even when I knew full well it wouldn't happen. They've been plain about how they feel about the ship for years. They saw it as a joke, one that drew in viewers, but was objectionable at its core. And they've followed through on that by baiting and jabbing up until the very end.
