You See Through My Disguise by @aibidil (10k, T)

"There's fucking rats in here. I thought you were supposed to be all posh, or whatever." He's sitting on the floor, his back against the stone wall, leaning his arms on his bent knees. His hair is stringy—not the unattractive-attractive way Potter's hair should be, but like he hasn't bathed in months. He meets my eye. At least the swelling in his face has mostly cleared. "I thought rich people would be able to keep out vermin." He doesn't mention the other rat—Wormtail's corpse—which my aunt thought fitting to leave in here with us. I'm sitting against the opposite wall, mirroring his position, except I'm freshly bathed. I'm sure I look like shite, though, even if my hair is clean. I scan through possible responses to his rodent commentary: silent treatment, ridicule him for not knowing that magical barriers can't keep out non-magical pests (this option is perhaps the most comfortable choice, as taunts related to his Muggleness have been a staple of our dialogue—well, a staple of my remarks, anyway—over the years), make a snide comment about his social status. But I'm so tired—every inch of me, physical and mental, aches. Even poking Potter has lost its lustre. I stare at him. "Rats are equal opportunity infesters."

If Siegfried is that adorable with the baby this entire season then I’m definitely going to die

since i just interacted with another version of this meme for MiA while looking in askance at the incomprehensibility of how this website's features function, might as well share the extremely me-specific version i made sometime this summer so that it could accurately reflect exactly what bits of the cast and story i am This Way about

Fernando S1E5 - “Mission Accomplished”

[lakesandquarries]

idk if this is a hot take but i actually love tom and maddie in the sonic movies. yes its cheesy and goofy that sonic has these just normal ass human parents but it's also so sweet and they feel like really well rounded characters who genuinely care about his (and tails! and knuckles!) well being and safety while still respecting his strength and abilities. it's a really hard balance to have authority figures of superpowered teenagers who aren't overly permissive and allow kids to be put in danger, i.e. dumbledore type shit where it's like hey you wanna be a child soldier? cool! vs overly protective figures who ruin the plot progression by not letting these magic teens do anything. can't think of any examples but its something i see in a lot of tumblr posts of people revisiting media from their childhood and being like "why did these parents let these things happen" and it's like well because this is a book for 13 year olds. 13 year olds need stories where they can be the heroes and save the day. but also i think 13 year olds need stories where they can save the say but also their mom will drive them to the battle.

like yeah sonic is gonna go fight robotnik but also when things are bad and he's scared maddie's gonna hold his hand and promise to stay with him. knuckles come from a society of ancient warriors but also tom's going to buy him ice cream and teach him the rules of baseball. also tom and maddie have such a good relationship and clearly adore each other and it's just nice to think that when sonic and friends aren't saving the world they still get to be kids.

the great tragedy of bill & ted's excellent adventure (1989) & the subsequent bill & ted's bogus journey (1991) & the recent bill & ted face the music (2020) is that ted never realises she's transgender

The author’s lone goal is to show that the entire field might have evolved a different direction if we had instead been obsessed with a slightly different acronym and slightly different result. We take a previously strong language model based only on boring LSTMs and get it to within a stone’s throw of a stone’s throw of state-of-the-art byte level language model results on enwik8. This work has undergone no intensive hyperparameter optimization and lived entirely on a commodity desktop machine that made the author’s small studio apartment far too warm in the midst of a San Franciscan summer. The final results are achievable in plus or minus 24 hours on a single GPU as the author is impatient.

there was a pretty good comment in a strange aeons video i watched the other day where she said 'how much of 2000s humour was just bullying?' and it made me realise something interesting. in the 2000s that bullying was masked as humour, in the 2010s that bullying was masked as activism
