put spikes on your wheelchair's handles. wrap barbed wire around your cane or crutch so it'll hurt like a motherfucker if someone kicks or grabs it from under your hand. wear a personal alarm and pull the pin every time someone moves you without your consent, leans on your chair, takes a seat on your rollator, taps your hearing aid, steals your AAC device. scream for help when you're abducted. wail like you're in agony when people trip you up or knock into you. take pepper spray to the grocery store. take a knife to the club. leave cards that say "fuck you" under the wipers of inconsiderately parked cars and scratch access codes for bathrooms on the outside of the door. we are not begging for mercy, we're fighting dirty. we have to.

You're waiting for something you've waited in vain because there's nothing for you.

This manga is shit, I hate everything about the second half of this story.

If it sounds like the composer is trying to blast you with the orchestra until you're as deaf as he is, it's Beethoven.

If it sounds like the composer might be a vampire, it's Bach.

If it sounds like the composer is trying to set the violins on fire, it's Vivaldi.

a new season of Bridgerton means a flood of my historical fashion youtube girlies bitching about the costuming. because how are you going to do an alternate-history Regency Era, and have no coherent design choices? i'm not even talking about jarringly modern fabrics, i'm talking about the opportunity to incorporate fashion sensibilities from the other cultures represented in the show in a way that still felt like Regency. and they squandered it.

like, the allegedly sari inspired dress they put the indian actress in was SO boring. they could have made a period-accurate regency dress out sari silk (which is bonkers cheap secondhand, btw) and that would have seriously fucked. there's already a rich fashion history regarding kimono silk being recycled into western gowns in the 1870s - what if that started sooner? what would that have looked like? what would regency gowns and suits look like made of aso oke cloth, or dyed using the adire method? just an absolute waste. the crime of being boring is unforgivable.

Potential allies meeting up with the League of Villains.

Ally 1: “Why are we at a playground?”

Ally 2: “This is where they told us to meet them. Hurry up, we’re already late enough and these people are extremely dangerous.”

Them, entering the park.

Twice, pushing Toga on a swing.

Mr. Compress and Magne sitting on a see-saw.

Spinner sitting at the very top of the monkey bars playing on his phone.

Dabi smoking on the merry-go-round.

Tomura, sliding down the slide and walking over to them: “It’s about time you got here.”

Why are pole dancers usually mostly naked (and why am I usually not)?

I get this question from both directions, depending on how familiar people are with pole. In truth, I prefer the chrome for dancing, but silicone is better for videos.

Follow me on Patreon for more pole and/or archery content!

The combination of 'unnervingly flawless self-control' with 'occasional tendency to engage in reckless, dangerous, and borderline self-destructive or death-seeking behaviour' in a character is SUCH catnip to me

The 2006 Dracula movie on BBC is one of the couple of adaptations in which Mina doesn't cheat/get seduced/hate her husband to be interested in someone else, but because Jonathan dies (early) by Dracula drinking him to death at the castle. She clicks with Jack, though not because of shared traits, common interests, or how they complement each other like in the book, it's more "well they're both single, guy saves girl..." The movie ends after Dracula gets killed by Van Helsing and Jack, with Mina and Jack being together after Mina gives Jonathan a (rather touching) eulogy about how he'll remain forever young. Then we see Dracula, Actually Alive, stalking them.

Like, come on, him again? Dracula drank Jonathan, since he died from it he should be undead now! Forever young, as she said. And back from the castle to find Mina. And the meeting between the three could have been interesting or very, very funny.
