Please allow me to break down this wakanda forever scene for my personal entertainment and the mere reason why I think it's the funniest shit I have ever seen
So we have Namor who is blabbering his sob story to a stranger foreigner surface-dweller princess he met once and who has known for a total of... five minutes, give or take. But whatever, we are on a tight schedule, on the brink of war and with the risk of being exposed any minute, plus we are trying to form an alliance with above mentioned princess and her country, that seems to be the only one to have something in common with his own, so it's fine.
ANYWAY, he has just finished unraveling his people's but especially his entire life story because he wants Shuri to understand why he has to do what he has to do, and she starts arguing back, trying to find a common ground. A peaceful solution for both parties. Which... fair. Usual diplomatic stuff. They are both making sense.
Then Shuri says THIS:
Mind you, he is a mutant god king. A mutant god king of 500 years old. He has seen and heard a lot of things, nothing should faze him that's what I am saying. And technically has the upper hand, considering he is also sort of holding her hostage (she asked to be brought there but still) and yet:
Stunned. Absolutely flabbergasted. Looks like his brain is stammering and failing to elaborate what's happening.
But Shuri keeps going, smart and confident in her ability to turn things around.
She even smiles. And that's it. He is done. Now we can actually see his braincells on the loose, helplessly scattering around. Live.
(500 years old. Let me remind you. 500.)
Then... this. Whatever this is.
1 Why are you swaying your hand around. And so dramatically. Besides, you gave her that dress.
And 2... what are you doing. Where are you looking. Please focus we are in the middle of a diplomatic meeting that could decide the fate of both of your nations for crying out loud.
But no. No no no. We are not done. If that wasn’t enough already:
Which... scary. Shuri is genuinely unnerved, like everyone with common sense would be.
He is just stating how things are. He is being serious, after all we are talking about a secret underwater kingdom that has been hidden for centuries, but no-
Look at him. He is so proud. So cheeky for having delivered this stupid joke he is probably mentally giving himself a pat on the back for having thought of it in the first place.
Look at her face. Look at her. She is a mix between "dafuq dude" and "are you for real"
GUYS IT'S HILARIOUS I COULDN’T STOP WHEEZING. HE PROBABLY THOUGHT HE DID SOMETHING. HE PROBABLY THINKS HE IS THE FUNNIEST MAN ALIVE.
I am not even gonna say anything about the fact that after her proposition he raised zero-to-none complain and/or hesitation about showing his super secret beloved kingdom that he has been going above and beyond to protect for centuries to a girl he met yesterday whom he talked to for a total of now ten minutes. Because... really.

Hi! I saw your gifs for Keegan and that you were writing for him. I know this might be super rude but in the nicest way possible pretty pretty lease could you not? 😅 Before you wrote for Price, no one cared about him at all. He had one fic and bc of you he's all over my dash and all my favorite writers are writing for him and using your style now
Your The Price blog 😭 please can you please leave Keegan for the rest of us? I don't want what you did to pride to happen to Keegan too.
I guess I'm sorry for ruining "pride" everyone. I didn't mean to put him on all your dashboards. That was my bad. And mine alone, clearly. My sincerest apologies. I will reflect on my actions and put Keegan there instead, I guess.
But honestly, I am so livid over your sly attempt at putting other writers down in a backhanded insult. I don't know what you're expecting to get from that. How could someone be your favourite writer when instead of raising them up, you put them down and accuse them of 'using my style?' I don't even know what this is supposed to mean?? I'm not that type of person and if you don't have anything nice to say about others who've done nothing to deserve this at all, and who just write incredible content for your consumption, then keep it to yourself.
And if it wasn't clear enough, I’m going to write who I’d like to. I’m not going to apologise that an amazing character is getting more work written about them, and I’m not going to not write something I want to write because someone doesn’t want me to.
The unfollow button has been there the whole time. It's free, too. You are more than welcome to use it.

i just need to know why philippa gregory likes mary boleyn so much
tbh, i assume she feels an affinity with her bcus she's very credulous about sanders' interpretation about mary's connection with, and sympathy for, coa (in which she tells her to take heart and that her sister is a bad woman and henry can never marry her, etc)? in tobg she wrote her as catherine's 'favorite maid in waiting' before her affair with henry and there's absolutely nothing that suggests that (catherine had favorites and even friends as much as queens can have friends, mary was not among their number). if you want to reach and insist that her placement in chateau vert was due mainly to an especial favour from the queen, then you have to do likewise for anne's. just because catherine's sister-in-law and friend was among them does not mean she was as close to the other women in that pageant as she was to mary tudor (although i understand why that is tempting, besides jane parker and mary and anne boleyn, it does seem like the featured players remained catherine's supporters, among them also gertrude blount); featured women at court events were selected based on an amalgam of status, beauty, talent, wit, etc., it had very little to do with friendship/personal liking or favour although of course it would give an edge.

I literally know POS stands for point of sale and refers to whatever system a food service or retail job uses to sell things but never once in my life have I ever read this as anything besides piece of shit and I’m never going to

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?
Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".
My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.
