In all seriousness, does anyone know where "a knight can't attack a woman unless she has a protector, then they're fair game" comes from? I keep running into it in modern Arthurian novels. The Squires Tales has it as bullshit Maleagant came up with, which almost makes sense.

In the middle of the night in the Commander Chat:

Bly: So which one of you was going to tell me that tea tastes different if you make it with hot water?

Cody, who has become the self-proclaimed tea expert of the batch because of his proximity to Obi-Wan: you've been making it with cold water?????

Ponds, eternally confused and concerned: Bly, please answer the question

Bly: Yeah?? I thought that people were using hot water to speed up the "teafication" process. Didn't realise that there was an actual reason. no wonder Aayla doesn't ask me to make tea anymore

Wolffe: you couldn't be assed to put the cup into the microwave for three minutes to boil the water?

Cody, this close to losing it: WHY are you putting it in the microwave to boil it??????!!

Wolffe: Do you think I have the patience to boil water on a stove?

Cody: It takes less than A MINUTE

Wolffe: Vod is your stovetop powered by the fucking sun?!

Cody: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO BOIL A CUP OF WATER ON A STOVE

Wolffe: like seven minutes?

Cody: just stick the cup on the top of the stove on medium heat and it boils in like two minutes!!

Wolffe: wait you're putting the whole cup on the stove?? on medium heat?? your stove is enchanted

Rex, reading this while listening to Fives and Hardcase trying to give Anakin an explanation on whatever disaster they've now caused on the ship: this chat is full of fucking lunatics

Fox, being awakened by the chat going off after finally falling asleep: DO NONE OF YOU OWN A FUCKING K E T T L E

individual stills of miguel Scampering on all fours and showing off his more distinct individual movement style (that he has because of his spider-man's Similar-but-still-distinctly-Weird-and-unique powers as compared to the more-graceful Others) so that i don't have 2 keep rewinding the clip(s) to see it. im REALLY excited to see him scuttling and skittering all over the place in the film just like he does in the comics-- and, like, seriously, Miguel Specifically being just. made Massive for some reason in his atsv design will never NOT be funny to me hes SO freakin Bouncy why did they Do That.

don't be Weird on my post or i'll kill you for real

peter bringing mayday with him to do spider stuff because yeah, he had things to live for before--but now he has a child and he is going to raise this child and be there for her and maybe if she’s there, strapped to his chest, he’ll be more careful. he’ll consider his life almost as precious as hers. maybe bringing mayday to work is a precaution.

I had a scrap piece of paper and drew the little freakish dog 👍 I have been silently enjoying your art for like a couple months now? I found it randomly on uploaded Pinterest and was like “oh huh that’s rad” and yeah he’s such a lovely sad little beast

Rin and Sae just hanging out together over popsicles is one of the cutest things in Blue Lock.

However, after Sae's betrayal, ice cream certainly stopped tasting the same for Rin.

Just imagine. You have your favorite delicacy and the person closest to you often buys it for you because they know you like it. You associate this ice cream with this particular person. But this person hurt you like no one else. You feel betrayed by them and start to hating them. From now on, your favorite food will automatically bring back memories of the person you always ate it with. Ice cream will always taste bitter.

Sae ruined Rin's taste of ice cream forever.

I've just come across a tiktok of a person (who has 90k+ followers and is pretty well-known in lefttok for having well-articulated, intelligent takes, by the way) copying almost word for word that post by weaver-z (with an addition by roach-works) explaining how Divergent destroyed YA dystopian literature, and claiming those to be their own thoughts.

An honestly hysterical thing to happen just two days after HBomberguy dropped his video on plagiarism — in which he theorises that those who steal somebody else's work do it because, aside from their lack of creativity clashing with their desire for money and clout, they think the author so below them that they don't deserve the dignity of being credited and nobody would even catch the plagiarism.

We know this is common but fucking Christ. Finding such a blatant example in the wild during this time is such an experience.

ahhh i almost gave up on this but im glad i didnt

[clotpolesonly]

ya know, i spend a lot of my time watching various youtubers react to watching A:TLA for the first time, cuz i love the show and i love being a voyeur to other people's fangirling over pieces of media that i love lol, and one thing i've noticed is a pretty consistent fundamental misunderstanding of the fire nation's imperialism

everyone's first reaction is to 1) look for a reason for the fire nation's expansion and 2) both simplify and aggrandize it into "taking over the world"

no one i watch ever seems to recognize this as just.......a real political phenomenon that happens on a constant basis. that it is continually happening and being perpetuated in real life. like, this is just what most of the wealthy nations currently in our political landscape have done and are still doing. "taking over the world" is such a cartoonishly evil concept that there's a disconnect between that and the reality of it, which is bizarre because it's portrayed extremely realistically within the show, the magical powers involved notwithstanding. this is political conquest, it's economic exploitation, it's occupation and annexation and colonization.

it just feels so jarring to me to watch these reactors scramble for an explanation to something that is fundamental to the way most wealthy countries in the world function by default. and it would be one thing if these were kids, like idk how well i understood the premise when i was 12 years old watching it air on tv for the first time, but they're not. these are grown people in their mid 20s, these are adults presumably participating in society in the year 2024. they have to have heard of the concept of imperialism by now.

and i'm not trying to shame anybody. all of these reactors otherwise show great insight and understanding of the characters and the themes and the messages of the show. it's just such a consistent thing i've noticed across, what, like, 7 or 8 different reaction series? the shock and confusion displayed at the fire nation's imperialism, like they cannot think of a single reason that a nation might do something like this. as if greed and economic gain isn't enough of a motivation, or nationalism and racial superiority. as if we didn't all learn about various real-life countries "sharing their prosperity with the world" through violent occupation in school.

was everybody absent that day?? or is it just somehow harder to recognize when there's firebending involved??
