so many bands write songs about “relatable issues” that don’t resonate while the mountain goats write songs about issues no one has ever experienced before that are universal

Eddie is not having an asthma attack.

Or well…

He’s trying not to.

He shakes his inhaler, brings it to his lips. He breathes in, holds it, breathes out, and…nothing.

Well, not nothing but it does very little to release the vice tightening in his chest. So Eddie finds himself back in the nurse’s office, cursing Midwest winters.

Nurse Martin hands him a nebulizer and sends him to sit in the back room while she goes to the office to call his uncle. Eddie thinks, well.

He thinks, at least I can suffocate on the comfy cot.

He thinks, are you kidding me??

There, on the only cot in the room that doesn’t feel like lying in concrete, is Steve Harrington.

Eddie thinks he might be sleeping, slack-jawed and eyes closed. He has a notebook clutched loosely to his chest, a poorly-drawn basketball court covered in random (to Eddie) X’s and arrows is on the page.

Eddie doesn’t actually say anything, just grabs a chair and drags it over to an outlet so he can plug the nebulizer in.

Steve’s eyes snap open as soon as he touches the chair and he watches him almost vacantly before saying, “Scene of the crime.”

Steve sounds tired. He looks tired. Eddie warns through wheezing, “If you have a seizure…”

“I’ll try not to,” Steve replies absently, frowning at the rasp in Eddie’s voice. “You sound like shit. What’s that thing you got?”

“Helps me breathe.”

Steve nods but he doesn’t get up. Fora while, the only sound in the room is the nebulizer.

“Pretty shit drawing,” Eddie eventually says when it becomes easier to breathe. He gestures to Steve’s open notebook, “What is it?”

“Not a drawing,” Steve hums, flipping the notebook face down. There’s a second where it seems like he isn’t going to eleborate but then the jock adds, “I figure Coach isn’t gonna let me play the rest of the season. I might be able to convince him to let me be an assistant coach.”

Oh.

That’s probably devastating for a jock.

“Sounds like you’re putting the carton in front of the horses, man,” Eddie hums with a wave. He’s going for comfort, not really sure that he gets there when he adds, “Not like concussions are forever.”

Steve stops Eddie’s waving hand and directs the nebulizer back to his face before saying, “The shakes might be the bigger issue.”

Ah. Well..

“Most people who have a seizure never have one again. Could’ve been a one-n-done.”

“Yeah, I know,” Steve says, rolling onto his back. He makes eye contact with the ceiling when he says, “I’ve had three.”

“I hate the script, the vault dwellers sound so cheesy—“ my Brother in Steel you realize that’s the point, right? They were bred to act like the physical embodiment of an HR e-mail. Did you not catch the memo that Vault-Tec put out regarding their experiment facilities?

something very funny about the fact that Silver isn't aware of the narrative enough to know that 'darkness' also represents internalised homophobia. he thinks it just means rage.

so Silver is like "I'm afraid of getting too close to Flint because I'll be dragged into the depths of his desires. he awakens some dark urge within me that feels really good but I know it should be shameful." thinking that it's like secret fourth dimension evil powers and not just.. gay thoughts

i say this with all my heart, from one person who cares about animal welfare to hopefully many others:

please take the term “factory farm” out of your vocabulary when discussing animal welfare

talking about the welfare of livestock and livestock production is incredibly important! all animals deserve to have the best welfare possible, regardless of if they’re going to end up on a plate or not

but the term “factory farm” does not actually discuss animal welfare in the way so many people seem to assume it does

for starters, “factory farm” is not an actual industry term. it doesn’t actually mean anything, because what constitutes a factory farm is completely subjective. you will never see the phrase “factory farm” in any kind of published research or official article because, again, it doesn’t mean anything

sure, the phrase definitely has connotations. and the connotation is the issue here. people use the term “factory farm” as a shorthand for… well, typically, “farming practice i don’t understand but think looks bad”

the term isn’t something neutral. it is specifically designed to create a negative image when you hear it. someone says “factory farm” and most people imagine large amounts of animals kept in bad condition

the key here: large amounts of animals

the size of a farm does not dictate the welfare of the animals on it. there are plenty of large farms with hundreds, thousands of animals that take stellar care of their livestock. there are small farms with only a couple animals that live horrible lives

the size of a farm is not the issue when it comes to animal welfare, but rather the practices used on the farm. sometimes they do go hand in hand, yes. there are some practices that are only necessary because of the amount of animals present

but say that

there are other terms that are actually industry terms that work better for these scenarios. try “conventional farming” “industrialized farming” “commercialized farming”. these actually have meanings that you can then jump off of into talking about animal welfare practices on these farms

“factory farming” is just a term used to paint farming in an entirely negative light, when what actually makes a farm have good or bad welfare depends on so many other things

classic trope that’s never worn out is when an enemy is your enemy because they are a shining example of everything you once were. they’re everything you would still be had you not descended into a dark mirror, a decayed shadow of your former self. they’re everything you choose not to be, that you gave up, and you love them for it and you hate them for it and you have to fight them, you just have to. the inherent romanticism, the inevitability of hating someone because once you were just like them.

Ever since I read this I haven’t been able to stop thinking about a potential showdown between Keith and Lance. I lie awake every night thinking of what could have been

simon rutting his thick fucking and leaking cock on your clothed pussy, staining the lacy little thing, grunting in hushed whispers how he’s going to make a bigger mess if you just let him.

you’re sure you weren’t supposed to have heard him say that. hell, he shouldn’t even be in your room…

where’s john? where’s your husband?

Graphic design is my passion

So I wanted to make these kinda look like a 50’s ad for a department store or something like that…really tried to utilize how nice the character designs from Clone High really are 💕

batman needs robin to bring him light in the darkness. But I also think robin needs batman. Mainly so robin doesn't burn everything to the ground. They're both unhinged,but robin slightly more so.

I think DC fans would have a lot of fun if they realized Batman is about retribution and Robin is about vengeance.

secret post credit scene

[wistfullywaiting2]

The biggest misconception in the bsd fandom ever to me is people constantly portraying Atsushi as someone who trauma dumps excessively when he canonically barely talks about it at all.

The entire point is that Atsushi does not talk about his trauma he’s just constantly reliving it. He can’t escape the memories of his past so he tries not to acknowledge them.

He only mentions it when asked, either directly or when someone asks him to explain himself.

Atsushi doesn’t even give a cohesive explanation for what he saw while under Dogra Magra, he just apologizes to Haruno and Naomi.

If Lucy hadn’t had her whole “you’ve never suffered the way I have” spiel then I doubt even the audience would’ve gotten to find out about his scars

If Akutagawa never asked him how it felt for the orphanage headmaster to die Atsushi would have never told him that he’s been hallucinating.

In the omake where Kyoka asks him why his hair is like that it’s clear he wouldn’t have told her that unless she had asked.

In 55 minutes Atsushi very briefly mentions sleeping on a dirty floor somewhere to Kunikida because he was trying to explain and justify his behavior.

And the thing is there are scenes that implies the other characters see Atsushi behaving strangely and are visibly confused because they do not understand what’s wrong with him.

Remember, we as an audience get to see things about characters that the main cast doesn’t. Just because we see into Atsushi’s mind doesn’t mean the other characters know what’s going on in there.

[nicollekidman]

season six spuffy is also nuts bc spike is clearly like. please just tell me i’m good and let me sit at your feet on the off chance you want to give me scraps and buffy WANTS to hold his leash (and yank on it) and she wants him to bite her hand so she has an excuse to hit him except. that sort of urge would upend the status quo (not just in their relationship but again, the bedrock the slayer/vampire dynamic is built upon) so instead spike has to play the corrupting influence to buffy’s reluctant and seduced white knight and it doesn’t fit either of them anymore!!!!!!!! spike says “you belong here in the shadows with me” but it sounds like “i accept you for all that you are and nothing in the dark could resist you” spike says “stop me” but it sounds like “tell me what you want” spike says “look at your friends and tell me you don’t like getting away with this” and it sounds like “isn’t this fun isn’t this worth Being Alive”
