Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

I'm about to throw stones but when people my age say "I don't like these Gen Z teenage tone indicators. How am I supposed to MEMORIZE all these new abbreviations? '/nm'? '/lh'? I hate it." it sounds utterly indistinguishable from our parents being like "I don't get this text speak. 'omg'? 'lol'? SAY what you mean! Don't abbreviate!" Like I dunno how to tell you that evolving language involves... learning the evolved parts of language.

I understand like 4 tone indicators and I'm frequently confused but I support it. It's honestly a good solution to tone lost over text imo. I'm ancient and my bones are full of dust but I'll figure it out.

i've. i've been rewatching the sanders sides

[roxannepolice]

Something about 15 having more elements of Gallifreyan culture (the writing on the sonic and on the freaking nails) in his image than any Doctor before.

Something about him flippantly stating he was abandoned instead of TOTALLY KIDNAPPED MY PARENTS WERE TOTALLY SOMEWHERE THERE IN THAT COMPLETELY EMPTY SPOT.

Something about knowing it's more important to save Ruby now than to learn of her past.

Something about parent with their own issues frame rather than an eternal child.

Something about Carla using the same words as the Doctor to reflect on how we are defined by our memories and people we know rather than by vague essence of might have beens.

Something about identifying with the past you had with its good and bad sides rather than the very bad sides you can't even remember.

And yes, something about Gatwa being the first first generation immigrant to play the Doctor.

the yttd fandom be like "the idea of Gashu being aro/ace is so funny given Kai's existence" as if one's orientation has anything to do with their ability to kidnap children.

Hear me out. HEAR ME OUT.

Jay will be in the first episode. He'll be in Chicago, and Hailey's struggle to move on will be because the ring is off and she was thinking they were done, but he's back around. He will ask to work things out, and she'll say no. She needs time. The season is spent healing parts of herself and shifting away from Intelligence. When her final episode comes around, she makes the decision to leave the unit. We see Jay one last time, and she tells him she is ready to start working on them. Screen fades to black. Dick Wolf's name comes on screen. Curtain falls.

Do you think there's any yanderes who wouldn't get along? Like Wilbur and Quackity might not be able to stand each other or Tommy and Purpled finding it difficult to not bicker? Everything you've written so far is really cool!

Thank you! It's nice to hear people like my writing. :) I don't want this to be long because honestly? A lot of yandere's wouldn't get along. I'm going to list the top 1 that'd not get along AT ALL and then the top 3 that'd work unfortunately TOO well together.

EDIT: Old ask but I've polished it a bit and only included one ba. Enjoy!

P.S. don't be afraid to send more poly asks! Both romantic and platonic :)

Top 3 Best Yandere Duos

Technoblade & Ph1lza: should be obvious why they'd work well together! These two have known each other for ages and its highly likely that they'd even form a polyamorous relationship along with their shared darling. The two care and trust each other enough to compromise to ensure their darling is kept and taken care of!

Tommyinnit & Ranboo: a surprisingly good team! Its mostly because they're similar kinds of yanderes (mostly harmless towards their darling, only wants their companionship and attention, clingy, ect) that they wouldn't immediately clash. Also while Tommy is the jealous type, Ranboo is not but it's rarely an issue since Ranboo is so submissive in general scenarios- allowing Tommy to hog more of their darling's time with no problem.

Wilbur & Quackity: okay I know what you're think- you think they'd clash right? Well your right there's a lot of clashing!! But!!! They somehow make it work in an albeit disfunctional kind of way. The main reason this team even works is becuase Wilbur not so subtly is also just as attracted to Quackity the way he is towards their darling, willing to put himself "below" Quackity to help him contain their darling. Hey a bit of selflessness goes a long way!

The Absolute WORST Yandere Duo

Dream & Tommy: An EXTREMELY unlikely duo but has high odds of forming a dynamic- especially if obsession takes hold during the exile arc of all times. There's already so much going on mentally for tbe both of them and they absolutely do not want to fucking share their poor darling. They're both clingy in their own fucked up ways and even though I've stated before that Tommy is harmless, that all goes put of the window when Dream isn't above hurting their darling. Tommy would never try to hurt them of course- only Dream really but he's also so much more paranoid that somehow Dream will sway you away from wanting to hang out that he may start to verbally lash out. Everything is just..... awful. Even for Dream this situation sucks but he's too proud and stubborn to let go of his literal two greatest obsessions.

I hope they make Sethos a 4 star not just because it would make it easier for me to get him, but because it would categorically be the funniest thing they could do to him.

Like, imagine that you're born and it's prophesized that you'll be the vessel for this ancient God, but then you grow up and some other guy steals that power from you. But as soon as you go and find him to file a complaint in person about it, the omniscient audience watching it happen can't take you seriously because you're the value equivalent of a pomeranian yapping at a rottweiler because the guy who stole your power got a promotion from it. It would be a losing battle from the start and you would be none the wiser.

So anyway, who else is excited for Cyno part II??

[transrevolutions]

decided louis capet is the joe biden of the late 18th century. pretends to support the moderate-progressive movement while secretly being a regular ol conservative underneath. clings onto political power even though he's basically dooming the entire system by doing so. loves to make extremely questionable foreign policy decisions with no real explanation. overall just kind of a loser. should've just quit the governmental scene and become the world's averagest guy but instead chooses the dark side.

HESH AND POST FEDERATION LOGAN..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (Yes) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (I aproove) MY AGONYYYYYYYYYYY (This is fun and enjoyable for me) RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*Huff, sniffle, sob* Look okay... Hesh's fatal flaw is loving Logan. *Sad ass sigh* and Logan's fatal flaw is letting him. *Blows nose* If Logan told Hesh to give up on him he would. *Sobs* Because Hesh just trusts him that much. *Ugly crying*

Honestly, to me the funniest thing about Dune (book) yet is that everyone, and I mean everyone, manages to indirectly call Paul a twink one way or the other. It's hysterical to me how they're all so sophisticated with their words but when it comes to refreshing the audience's memory re: Paul's appearance, no matter whose POV I'm reading, it's always like "oh and then there was Paul who was pretty and built like a fucking twig" like OKAY

You know for a fact that with different match-ups the semi finalists would have been Aragorn x Arwen, Doctor x Rose, Gomez x Morticia, and Westley x Buttercup. The fact that you've already pitted them against eachother in and before the quarter finals feels like a rigged bracket...

i wanted to see tenrose and westercup die. is that what you want me to say? i wanted to string tenrose and westercup shippers along and lead them like lambs to their elimination slaughter. i was the puppetmaster controlling the strings behind the arawen tenrose neck and neck battle and i knew the whole time that arawen would come out on top. is that the confession you're looking for? what do you want man we're just some funny little guys running a silly little ship bracket and we're about to go on vacation; do you really think we have the time or intimate knowledge of human behavior and fandom popularity to rig a poll on purpose? c'mon.
