Dax regularly breaking into Odo's quarters and meticulously fucking up his furniture system is the funniest fucking thing ive ever heard

I think something that makes Violet and Xaden such a good couple is how completely deranged they are for each other. They have reached a level of down bad I just have not seen from another book couple in a while.

“He fell harder” is fun, but what about “he fell first, she threw herself over the edge after him”?

The extremes Violet and Xaden have shown they are willing to go for one another is what I love so much about them and their dynamic:

Xaden burst into her room and killed everyone threatening her without a second thought. Violet walked the Parapet in a dress just to talk to him. Xaden risked the secret about the rebellion and Aretia in order to save Violet’s life. Twice. Violet allowed herself to be tortured for five days to protect his secret. Both of them left their assigned posts to fly across the kingdom to get to the other. Violet was willing to die if it gave Xaden a chance to live. Xaden turned venin so Violet would survive.

they’re so insane for each other I just adore them

okay all of the reviews for "severance" by ling ma said it was a hilariously deadpan satire on the post-apocalypse — and maybe that was true in 2018 — but now that i've read it i can say i probably laughed Once and felt a bone-deep nihilistic dread Constantly. the bit about the protagonist's company gifting her a self-care kit of 2 N95 masks, a nutrient bar, and an expanded insurance plan in response to a worldwide pandemic isn't really funny post-2020, it's just realism.

can a girl ramble aboutthe way you can interpret so many parts of the propaganda and characterization of rhine by other the people/general populace of teyvat as people largely antagonizing neurodivergent traits without being chased with pitchforks and torches.

if you liked Synnøve Macody Lund in Saw X as Cecilia, you might want to watch Black Widows, the 2016 Scandinavian tv show where she plays Johanne who is, for all intents and purposes, very much obviously in love with her best friend Rebecka (they do not actually kiss... but they should've)

their friend Kira is also There

my Shadowheart Origin playthrough is the most fun thing I’ve done in ages. she’s such an adorable cringefail losergirl

[panncakes]

fuyu really just shaped her career specifically to have the opportunity to work with her ex-girlfriend and let her know that she'll 1) never forgive her and 2) is absolutely not over her

I’m once again thinking about Rose & Blanche cuddled up next to Dorothy in that one scene

It's kinda funny because w/ my Zeus kid OC (who I've been thinking about renaming as Araceli, 'cause it means altar of the sky, apparently, which I like 'cause sky-themed-ish but also like. A little bit I wanted something that meant cloud the way Coral's name means... Coral) the implication is that she takes after her father to an almost mirroring degree because I developed her and my other PJO OCs (who also all got retconned into an OG work) at the same time I was playing around with my ideas on the Big Six, and the gist at the time was supposed to show how the Big Six could've turned out if they weren't so weird.

So the dynamics of the friendship was supposed to be very similar to the dynamics of Big Six's relationship to each other (e.g. Mary having a major crush on Hera's "representative" but also being attracted to literally every other person that walked by, Nico being the soberminded big brother figure, etc). It's also one of the reasons Mary would get angry whenever someone would compare to her dad, because similarly I think Zeus would get angry if someone compared him to his dad.

And then eventually as I got older and the daydream moved around with whatever obsession I had at the time, the characters and general storyline began to change away from that in some ways but core features sort of stayed and so I ended up with a version of Zeus that ignores his daughter's pleas for help because he loves her but her pain hurts him because he can't do anything about it and it's his fault she's suffering.

She got this intensity from him, it's ingrained into the way it's ingrained in him. But he was able to rebuild the world according to his own needs and wants and beliefs. And she can't really do that. So he doesn't have any advice he can give her when she's on her knees begging for help with all the noise and pain in her head. He doesn't know what to do! It's like he can just go and rip it out of her.

But she's suffering because she's different and she's weird and she knows it and she knows it's his fault which is why she's asking but he just doesn't know and he can't handle watching her suffering and listening to her cry when there is no helpful answer to give her because "I don't know" isn't going to fix it.

He's supposed to fix things, he's supposed to have the answers. He's king of the world, by damn! He's a problem solver. He supposed to have a solution, and a million backup solutions. But he doesn't! There's nothing he can do to make the noise stop because truth be told, the noise never really stopped for him! It just got easier and quieter. So he turns away from her because he loves her and he's failing her and he can't handle that.

But also in the same breath, I think he recognizes similar aspects of himself in Jason, who isn't even asking for help, and fucking despises him for it, lol.

*TW antisemitism*

Listen, this is all I'm going to say about this, and then I'll return back to regularly scheduled fandom content and never speak of it again.

But people acting shocked that Taylor Swift is associating herself with a man known for being antisemitic clearly have not been paying any attention. When the whole thing happened with her releasing a song about Jake Gyllenhaal and the red scarf or whatever, her fans were literally sending him, a Jewish man, antisemitic death threats 24/7, and not once did she even acknowledge it. I'm not saying she can control her fans, but any decent person would be absolutely appalled to see their fans attacking a Jewish man's identity like that, especially in their name, and would at least put out a statement saying something like "Hey, it's okay to dislike him for xyz, but don't be fuckings nazis, especially on my behalf." But of course nobody ever talks about that.

a few months in i think i can confidently say that i could pick tempo out of a crowd of similarly sized baby turtles thanks to two key identifying factors:

somehow i only noticed it today but she has a very irregular scute pattern! most photos online of the murray river short neck show 5 along the middle and 4 on either side but she has 4 on her left, 5 on her right, and seven down the middle [maybe less if you want to be picky about what's two scutes and what's one with a fracture]. i'm not sure how common scute irregularity is in her species but i imagine her specific pattern is particularly unique :O

fucker loves biting me

[riarevenge]

the terrible part of having bpd is my own mother made me this way and i just want to scream a little bit into a void abt it

[moonlitlex]

actually heartbreaking when you realize that someone you thought you knew is actually a complete loser with nothing going for them and you wasted 8 years of your life caring about them and loving them and being their friend
