Guidry shrugs, looks him over. He notices Allerton’s camera. JOE GUIDRY: When did you get this? Lee doesn’t say anything. Guidry laughs.

"Penelope should have chosen Debling!"

My sister in Christ. . .he literally dumped her???

Like just before Colin Bridgerton was on his knees after outrunning her carriage to profess how he can't stop thinking about her in his love me, choose me, I'm yours speech, Debling did the Regency equivalent of calling her a floozy who would undoubtedly cheat on him when he abandoned her for several years to chase his passions (because she would never be one of said passions since she asked outright if he could ever come to care for her and he went 'hmmmm seems unlikely! good thing you have solitary hobbies to occupy you instead!') when he has been given 0 evidence of such other than realizing she liked to look out the window because she had a crush on the boy across the street. I was ready to challenge that man to a duel for Pen's honor

His feelings for her were middling at best, I mean Christ on a Pogostick, after he asked her mum for permission to propose he isn't even happy when he opens the door and Pen is there? She's looking like a snack- nay, a whole ass MEAL, and he can't even smile? He just nods at her and dips the fuck out? You don't think it would kill Penelope to know that both her sisters have husbands who absolutely adore them and she's out here with an absent dude who likely won't even write to her?

Portia's 'Love is make believe!' speech is so transparently full of shit when you realize that we've got Dankworth who is so obsessed with Prudence that he makes heart eyes at her every waking moment and considers her his little bonbon and Albion who loves Phillipa so much that he was waiting for her to consent to sex (not realizing she didn't know what it was) for two entire years because he would never pressure her and so he was content with finishing in his pants when he kissed her to make sure she was comfortable. And you want Penelope to settle for a life of loneliness? When Colin is so besotted with her that he dreams of her and breaks every societal expectation in the book as a notorious People Pleaser to run after her and cannot even wait for the morning after being intimate with her to introduce her as his wife to his family in the middle of the night? You want her to turn down Mr "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible" Bridgerton? For LORD PENGUIN?

Be so serious right now

[ID: series of screenshots from Transformers Earthspark, showing a human holding up her purse as a shield with a frightened expression. Their purse has rainbow straps and is covered in various nature pins, including a pronoun pin that says she/they. The camera pans to a close-up of Nightshade, a terran transformer with large black and green eyes, a triangular helm, and fan-shaped ears, as they say "Ooooh, I like your pins. I am Nightshade, my pronouns are they them" with a smile emoticon in the subtitles. The human lowers her purse into their arms and smiles up at Nightshade as she walks closer, saying "Thanks, I'm Sam. I'm she/they… but you already know that." End ID]

And then after this exchange, Sam introduced Nightshade to the actual word for Nonbinary, which they had never heard before, because you can know you're different even before you know the words to describe your experiences :)

Since I don’t really find a lot of cross-stitch patterns of Nick and Charlie and I REALLY wanted to make something Heartstopper related… I decided to learn how to create a pattern just to make this! They are not perfect but I’m still really happy with the results!!

Queer as Folk – 1.12: Move It or Lose It

[deancasforcutie]

I AM NOT CRAZY! I know CW swapped those adlibbed lines! I knew it was "y yo a ti/me too". Exactly the Expressions From Dean They Did Not Use/What I Had In My Head that Jensen alluded to, as if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it! They - they covered their tracks, they got those idiots in fandom who always scapegoat the writers to lie for them! You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This Rancid Nuttery? They've done worse. Those other cut lines/scenes! Are you telling me that the writers just happen to put all that gay in their scripts to cut it all themselves? No! They orchestrated it! CW! THEY DEFECATED THROUGH THAT [OMITTED] FINALE SCRIPT! And Misha saved them! And he shouldn't have. He took the fall for "rogue translators" onto his own Twitter! What were we thinking? They'll never change. They'll never change! Ever since they were founded, always the same! Couldn't keep the "girl can't be on top/horror should be brightly-lit" network notes out of the creative vision! But not our CW! Couldn't be rainbow-marketed daring-to-defy CW! Stealing the story blind! And they get to let our creatives who cared and fought for rep take the blame!? What a sick joke! I should've blamed them when I had the chance! And you - you have to blame them! You-

"One major difference between the dominant Anglo-Saxon, post-Stonewall representation of being gay and the East Asian representation of being gay lies in the process of coming out and the social mapping of family and kinship (e.g. Berry, 2000). Unlike in most Anglo-Saxon, post-Stonewall cultures, in which coming out involves a process of leaving the blood family and joining alternative communities, in most neo-Confucian Asian cultures, the process of coming out surfaces as a problem within the networks of kinship and associated obligations that make up the blood family that contains the individual (Tan, 2011; Shiau, 2014)."

Random things from my black clover pjo au

Luck (Ares) always breaks his weapons and begs magna (Hephaestus) to make him continuously more dangerous electric ones. (like Clarisses spear)

Langris (Nemesis) gets out aalllll his personal issues out during capture the flag. You accidentally tripped him last week? He's going out of his way to knock you on ur ass and he WILL pretend it was just a lil accident.

He's the most passive aggressive lil rodent I've ever seen

David swallow is my precious girl failure, and the Hermes cabin leader. He hopelessly tries to romance letoile (Athena)

Charlotte and Sol are in the hunters of Artemis.

Langris challenges people to fights all the time. except luck. He's terrified of luck.

Langris and Kirsch (idk what godly parent) are shit talking boyfriends. Besties.

I'll probably draw some of this stuff. Maybe.

Pillow Princess Eugene, Service Stone Top Lee is my take. What is Yours?

no because i love this actually. started typing and then spaced out because i’m so enchanted by the possibility of pillow princess gene and service stone top lee. literally watching the movie right now about to get to the scene where they sleep together for the first time and i’m like vibrating to look at it through this lens. wow. maybe that IS my take. very beautiful work my friend.

in the past i’ve sort of gone for bottom lee for reasons connected to both daniel craig’s portrayal and information i’ve learned about burroughs i shant elaborate on so this answer isn’t a million words long. tldr total bottoms who benefit from appearing as a top. god that’s so reductive but you know what i mean. but truthfully i think gene topping and lee bottoming are both only true like in the fully realized/slightly more well-adjusted versions of themselves and i also think that the reasons we think these differing things are probably connected to the same character motivations and desires so all around i really love.

So it seemed like Leo and Raph at least had moments where they were either aware of the curse or explicitly trying to fight against it (see Leo freezing in the doorway of Donnie's lab at one point, I'm pretty sure Raph had at least one moment before the curse broke but I can't quite remember which one), but did Mikey have any that I'm missing? He was willing to go along with Donnie on an errand or whatever at the beginning, I know that much, even if his art was all weird (curse bringing out repressed anger, perhaps?), but it would somehow be more of a gut punch if Mikey was the one to not even notice that anything was up until the moment he broke out of the curse.

i think whats most important about the way that mikey responded to the curse was that his perspective on it was not as concrete as leo and raph's. like leo and raph as donnie's older brothers both had in some capacity this feeling of responsibility over him that mikey DIDN'T, and the curse really takes advantage of it (getting more insight into leo's relationship with donnie in ME and CW really compounds his role and how he's spent so long looking out for him and facilitating a relationship where donnie is more comfortable being uniquely vulnerable, while raph was more straightforward as the oldest and their protector). but mikey's resistance is a lot more passive and hard to pick up on, there's a reason he's not proactive until very late in the game.

really i think the moment in the kitchen is the only really mask off moment he has where he's independently aggressive, with no input from his other family, and that's just because donnie did something that would probably frustrate him on a NORMAL day and the curse just intensified those emotions by like a billion

really i think the absolute worst thing about it is that it takes advantage of mikey's impulsivity more than anything else. he's not calculated and reveling in the idea of vengeance for a perceived lifetime of annoyance like leo is. he doesn't think its a deep moral responsibility that needs to be corrected like raph does. mikey is a person who likes fun, who likes to turn his brain off, and sometimes that means he can be reckless, careless, and occasionally even mean! he's an empathetic person who's willing to correct himself when he oversteps boundaries, but when its for someone the curse is twisting him to hate, why would he?

it's the thrill of getting away with it, with being in on the "joke". he laughs while leo does the really nasty shit and usually only goes out of his way to get in on it when leo's the one encouraging him, because early on he sees most of the goading and bullying as actual harmless fun, and later on he hates donnie enough to revel in it when he has the momentum with other people who are in on the joke. mikey on his own really would not be as vicious, and its why you can even see it in little ways- he lies after letting donnie out of the closet but he does seem confused and hurt by his reaction. when they go to the movies without him, he makes up the lie about genuinely forgetting in an effort to protect his feelings. he hugs him after he fixes the oven; the "its ok!! we werent mad" text message was a lie but it was similarly one to make him feel better (while the "good" after indicates how little he actually cares beyond that, not even trying to entertain him)

and when mikey isn't actively taking fun in hurting donnie, he isn't acknowledging him at all. he finds torment for the sake of it to be annoying, and he loses his patience/gets bored with it eventually-- and then he doesn't treat donnie like anything but a broken toy to be thrown away. when donnie isn't fun for him, he isn't anything. its the fact that he's apathetic in the end that hurts donnie the most.
