It is absolutely insane how in this year we can have one of the most famous men up on stage talking to fans about his favourite new project and he still can’t express himself fully because of homophobia. AND HE’S NOT EVEN GAY HIMSELF. I am actually so baffled and upset about this because how can we have this in this year? How can this still be a thing?

This may be a silly question with an easy to find answer but I'm not sure how to find what I'm looking for. On Genius there are quotes supposedly from Spinefarms website about the official descriptions for the songs on Sundowning, but not all the songs have these quoted and I'm not sure how to find the quotes that are missing. Do you know where they can be found?

Anon I’m so sorry 😭 You asked this back in August and I kept meaning to ask some of my friends and then September and October happened and now it’s November and I am super late, I’m sorry.

So the descriptions you’re looking for were removed from Spinefarm’s website a while back. I had an internet wizard check and Spinefarm's website didn't have descriptions for each song; for example The Night Does Not Belong to God had a definition for the term Sundowning instead (literally taken from the Wikipedia page in 2019 lol).

The descriptions, for anyone wondering, are the following:

The Night Does Not Belong to God: "Sundowning, or sundown syndrome, is a neurological phenomenon associated with increased confusion and restlessness in patients with delirium or some form of dementia. Most commonly associated with Alzheimer's disease, but also found in those with other forms of dementia, the term "sundowning" was coined due to the timing of the patient's confusion. For patients with sundowning syndrome, a multitude of behavioral problems begin to occur in the evening or while the sun is setting..."

The Offering: “An exploration of intimacy… ritual… worship… how connecting with someone on a certain level inspires a sense of deeper, spiritual significance.”

Levitate: “You were the bad guy in their story, but that part of their story is now over. The intense pain of realising someone you love does not need you anymore.”

Dark Signs: “Arrogant and bitterly alone. Acknowledging that you have become a poisonous influence in the lives of others.”

Take Aim: “The inherent risk that comes with love. Choosing it over loneliness. To have faith in another human being…”

Sugar: “The darker, intoxicating aspects of intimacy, a decline into obsession and impulse. A cherry between teeth.”

So...does anyone else just not have any interest in Wicked at all? I absolutely don't hate it and hold no ill will toward anyone who is into it and enjoys the whole thing, but I've seen the trailers, the teasers, the endless interview clips with Ariana and Cynthia, and I'm just...meh. None of it has ever piqued my curiosity, for some reason...

wild that it takes starting to watch Stargate, a show almost as old as I am, to drag my sorry carcass back to social media after a month of a Desperate Digital Detox and a self-imposed gag order

...... anyway hi, hello, how are you all doing, do we all think it's kind of weird that in the beginning, they just automatically landed on assuming he/him pronouns and a masculine identity for Teal'c? like yeah, it was the late 90's so it's understandable, and I may only be 4-ish episodes in so anything and more could still happen, but the Jaffa are not only actual, literal aliens (Teal'c just kind of happens to have a frame that we humans view as being conventionally masculine), but they also act as "incubators", almost surrogate mothers to the infant Goa'ulds they live in symbiosis with, so....????

I hope we'll have a fascinating discussion about their apparent gender, because at this point, if we're talking about which pronouns we should default to when talking about them, I could make a case for quite literally any of them

is that hole in their stomach considered a pouch, like they're some sort of a marsupial? is it more analogous to a womb that just happens to be able to open from the outside? how do Jaffa themselves view it and their role with regards to their gender and gender expression? did the showrunners consciously have Teal'c wear a conventionally feminine style of makeup as commentary on that? how many absolutely nasty, filthy fics have been written about fucking the pouch? so many questions

hey guess what my friend called my name in class and my spanish teacher figured out she's been pronouncing it wrong 'the entire time [she's] known [me]' 😃

Okay, in kinda a reference to my last post on the topic, I am curious about the experience of other aces, since I dont know many sex positive ace-specs irl.

[xxplastic-cubexx]

thinkin bout magneto's lil list of aliases from that One Shot of his government file or w/e in 97 and how it lists the three main men who've played him (David Hemblen, Ian McKellen, Michael Fassbender) and kinda cackling at the idea 1.) if they included All his names 2.) having 'michael' on that list twice

Felt very vindicated by the fact that, upon being told the TLDR version of my breakup, Aabria Iyengar was so mad she was shaking and her Husband memorized my ex’s number because she wanted to FaceTime him and cuss him out (she didn’t and I don’t think she will but the inclination means a lot to me lol)

[outeremissary]

Sometimes I do kinda miss getting tagged on tag games all the time even though it sometimes made me very stressed (mental illness thing, not anyone's fault!!) but I am just trying to hold the attitude that like. It's okay to not fill my life with a million little tasks and I need to not take it as distressing if things don't reach me.

One day

One day I hope people realize that Kitsunami already "broke through his programming" back by issue #56 of Idw Sonic

He had an entire mini arc where he dealt with being without Surge for the first time, and in the real world. He met Sonic and his friends directly, tried to work out what his purpose would be without Surge in his life (gave it a shot trying to devote himself to Sonic, seeing him as the next best thing after Surge). And when it was all said and done, he decided after experiencing more that at Surge's side is where he wanted to be.

As of the recent IDW issues, Kit isn't sticking with Surge "because of programming" and "because he just needs for other characters to friend him and turn him into a better person". He is at her side because he wants to be. He protects her and aids her because he cares about her, not just because he's serving the strongest guy in the room. And he's not interacting with others because he's decided not to give a shit about anyone else other than Surge (because from his pov, even the "good guys" are fake. From his pov, everyone is someone trying to lie and manipulate their way into pulling him and Surge to their side)

Kit already has decided what he wants to do with his life. And he decided it on his own. Not because of anyone else's wants or wishes. That's the whole point of his speech at the end of #56.

He's burying whatever his and Surge's past is and moving forward with his conviction to be with Surge because it's what he wants.
