So, when going over the Book of Bill for another time, I had a sudden thought…

So, in the end it seems that Ford did help Bill Cipher hunt down the destroyer of his dimension, for vengeance. Alex Hirsch, you and your dramatic irony.

When referring specifically to animals and their behaviors, for example, gay is never employed, while lesbian is used only sparingly (it occurs in less than 3 percent of the more than 3,000 instances in the text where animal homosexuality is named). Even then, lesbian usually reserved only for cases of linguistic expedience, when alternate phrasings such as "female homosexual(ity)" or "same-sex ... among/between females" would become repetitive, cumbersome, or otherwise infelicitous.

you aren't obligated to ever label your sexuality btw. you can just have sex, hang out with people, and fall in love. labels can be useful, for both navigating what kind of relationships you desire as well as political organization. but if identifying yourself as something is debilitating, you are under no obligation to use that label even if you definitionally "align" with that label. nor are you obligated to tell everyone (or anyone) about your sexuality. you can also wear labels like a fun hat, and put it on & take it off whenever.

this gotta be one of the most cultural tone-deaf things i’ve ever read - specially coming from a gringa who who has lived in brazil for a decade

first of, the “sending the kids home earlier” isn’t about the staff watching the matches, it’s about everyone. world cup culture in brazil is huge - yes, even after 2014. it’s about meeting your friends and family, going to bars, someone else’s house or any public space and watching the match together. it’s, as it’s in most latinoamerican countries, about the community. sending kids home to watch the game isn’t about the school staff taking half a day off, it’s about the staff being able to feel the football atmosphere at home, with their families. it’s about doing the same for kids - going home earlier so they can be with their siblings, parents and grandparents (most of who will else be home earlier) and enjoy the next 2 hours or so together. it’s about bonding and community and it’s quite depressing a journalist can’t see that.

second, this woman is british… anyone from a place that puts everything on hold for a fucking coffin should be forbidden to talk about other countries’ days off.

third: vai embora então 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

anyone else find it a little fucked up that gifsets/edits only get more than 1k notes if they’re concerning a brand new piece of media (film/tv episode/trailer) and if the edit is posted within like 10 minutes of said media releasing to the public??? and if it’s not, it’s basically ignored and dies or takes days/weeks to amass notes??? so most people will only deem creators “worthy” of a like/reblog to spread an edit around if it’s only relevant to whatever brand new thing has released, and if you’re even like a week late that’s not good enough and fuck you <3

maybe jadzia was down for all the traditional wedding customs of an alien culture not her own, eventually yielding to their demands on her pride, because the last time she loved someone desperately enough to commit in a way that cannot be easily taken back she was jilted in favor of said traditional customs (or, she simply was not enough to overcome their influence) and when she bitterly remarked that lenara "was always a lot better on theory than execution," she's exposing precisely how this separation from lenara lingers. maybe she didn't want a trill wedding not because dax had had several trill weddings before. maybe it had nothing to do with dax and everything to do with jadzia alone, hanging on to worf in a way that was impossible with lenara.

(Part 1) maybe the two of them have something in common. i doubt it'd be easy to see, though

dialogue under the cut:

Ishmael: Great. Ok. Fine. As though we needed anything else to go wrong today. Caption: It's raining.

Quixote: Ah! Mine comrade! Allow me to shield thee from this most drenching of downpours! Hong Lu: How ingenious...! It won't drip too much on me, will it? Quixote: ..... Ishmael: Well, whatever. Rain won't affect our mission in any meaningful way. We should just continue onwards. Ishmael: Let's get—

(offscreen) Meursault: Peheh

(offscreen) Meursault: Ha ha ha.

Meursault: Hahahaha.

Hong Lu: ...Huh? Heheh.

Sinclair: Meursault... is everything alright?

Meursault: ...

Hong Lu: ... Ah~. Hong Lu: So that's what it is. I see now.

I just wanted to come and tell you that I LOVED your Jaime/Sansa fic; it was so so good and sent me off on a binge reading kick of Jaime/Sansa fic AND has me rewatching GOT 😂 you’re an incredible author and I really hope you write more for this pairing, but even if you don’t, I can’t wait to see what you do next 🥰

Oh my god I can’t even tell you how much I was smiling when I first read this, thank you so SO much! You’ll have to come let me know if there are any Jaime/Sansa crumbs in the show because it’s been way too long since I watched it and I’m not sure I can face a rewatch if I’m not guaranteed a little sliver of content 😂 This seriously means so much, thank you times a million!

Can't take off my mind this very specific flavor of sskk dynamics from a timeline that goes like: the doa arc never happened. Skip forward to bunch of years past the canon events, and you have sskk who can't really call each other enemies since it's now evident to everyone they enjoy seeing each other, but aren't friends either since they do very much still work for enemy organizations. And they just keep stumbling across each other on their respective missions from opposite fronts, trying to capture the same target for their own team, and they keep fighting and competing with each other in a way that is almost playful (but never going easy on each other because then where's the fun!), making them both almost look forward to meet and clash with the other on missions and to fight for the same target. And the mission accomplishment rate has now decreased to a 50% for both of them but neither of them can bring themselves to really care because for the first time they're having the carefree, mindless fun they never experienced in their lives and they have a person they enjoy to spend time with to the point they even got past denying it. And Atsushi telling Akutagawa “even if I let you go now, I'll still have to hunt you down” and Akutagwa replying “hunt me then” and theatrically disappearing out of a window or something leaving Atsushi laughing and just. them being together although nobody is going to say it out loud

I am appreciating how cdrama has given us back to back dramas with a love interest whose pursuit is absolutely feral & unhinged.

i don't know, maybe it's just because i've been around since stormblood, but whenever people start doomposting post-media tour about how a job is ruined, i'm like... you haven't even gotten to play the job yourself yet. these changes aren't even finalized and will get patched if they're that hated by the community. calm down.
