im not trying to halt discussions related to public transit i am number one public transit freak i hate cars i love buses i love trains i love functional transport and in time this following fact may change but, broadly, people with mobility issues still cannot take buses or trains.
like when i try to logistically imagine someone I know who can't walk far, taking one of the buses i'm familiar with, to the hospital for an appointment, and i visualize the bus stop and the walk inside and then the department they're going to.... it's not happening.
yes ideally this would change but like as of right now disabled people need parking and they shouldnt be charged. the car is a required part of their being present at all! it's not the same as abled bodied people at ALL.

i refuse to believe that boycotting is hard. my favourite thing in the world is ordering maccies after a late night at work/a concert/getting drunk. yes i do miss it sometimes. but the other night i ordered from a small place near my house instead and it was the most orgasmic burger i've ever had in my life. i very rarely say this but fucking suck it up people are DEAD

I have a simple fascination and joy in the thought that, for the Ghost King AU, most of the time Danny is literally so normal compared to other ghosts.
Like, he’s a kid. He looks like a kid. Going by canon appearances, he is the most human looking ghost we see (aside from Ellie). Even Plasmius is more inhuman, which is where all the vampire jokes come from. Every single one of this enemies is off even in a human disguise. They’re not human, and people don’t expect them to be.
So aside from the implications of Danny looking like a child ghost, I wonder what other characters would think if they summon the Ghost King, expecting this huge monstrosity worse than anything they’ve ever seen, and getting a totally normal human-looking kid.
I’d be terrified. Because if horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that the most innocent and normal looking people are the worst monsters you’ve ever seen.
Like, what is he hiding??

in my opinion, qphil isolating and exiling himself is only going to make things worse or delay the inevitable: as shown yesterday the enderking wants qphil to isolate, to not tell anyone, and luckily for our evil demigod that is exactly how qphil operates. he holds secrets in hopes of not hurting others, not getting them involved. and we just saw what happens when he has a support network helping him, he broke free from enderking’s grasp even for a moment. but that bit is not the only reason why his isolation is playing straight into enderking’s hands: it’s his insecurities as well. ”i’m a shit dad” ”i need to prove myself worthy of protecting” ”i need to provide better for the family” ”i need to be stronger” - all insecurities that are qphil’s downfall. enderking has already played into his need to provide for the kids as well as the want to be stronger (the buffs in the dungeon), what’s stopping him from digging his claws further to qphil’s core, his insecurities and weaknesses now that he has no one to break him out of his self-deprecating loop? when all he has are his thoughts, the caws of a crow and the voice of him? if no one finds him in exile, i think he will lose himself again, betrayed by his own mind

I just think that there are many reasons why one can go back and forth on whether Ygraine's spirit is really Ygraine in s2e8, but judging her and/or the situation one way or another over the fact that she is for once someone who tells Arthur the goddamn truth really just ain't it. Like. of course he would be furious! maybe because - and hear me out here - the truth is something to be furious about! Everyone constantly fucking lies and lies and lies to Arthur, to spare him, to stop him from being angry, for one million supposed reasons of knowing better, so maybe yes a sign of actual love is to not put yourself into the line-up and be honest, for once in his goddamn life

STORIES fucking stories.....flint is a story. a story told to james mcgraw in his childhood, a story taken up by james and turned into something tangible but something that is still in itself a story; flint is a character mcgraw wears. and james flint is a story. a legend, a pirate that strikes fear into people just by the mention of the name. captain flint. the story told to children in the colonies, in England, the story spread like wildfire as a reason to end piracy. the story told to sailors, to other crews. because men in these waters don't fear ships, or guns, or swords, or death. they fear flint. they fear the stories they've heard, the tales that are told. flint is the monster, the warning, the words whispered. flint. flint. flint. he haunts every action, every decision long before he meets his end. and eventually the world molds to fit the story; flint and james become one thing, cross a line where they are no longer separable. and then there's silver...oh is there silver. he has always been a story, a man with no past, a man crafted out of nothing but thin air, constantly contorting himself to be the truest version of the story he can be....the story needs an enemy so he is an enemy, the story needs a rock so he is the rock, the story needs a hero so he is the hero, the story needs a tragedy, so he is the tragedy, the story needs a reason, so he becomes the reason. long john silver is a story crafted to contain another story, to contain silver and flint and turn them into legends and preserve them in tales and both james and john end up becoming the stories told about them. this isn't who they are. but the stories are all consuming, will burrow their way through your head until you can no longer see the line between truth and fiction and in the end it doesn't matter what was true or what was untrue because the stories make it so; the story does what it wants and you have no choice but to change yourself to fit
