also i think this has been figured out at this point but the whole "i miss queerbaiting" convo is like... the part of queerbaiting that ruled was because the show was usually putting forward two dudes, those two dudes got to have character arcs and motivations and writing behind both of them. they could both be interesting individually. because neither of them were shunted into 'disposable romantic interest' for each other.

but if a gay couple on tv is now supposed to be there, writers can fall for the m/f trap of 'only one of these characters needs to be fleshed out, the other is just here to explicitly be the love interest and maybe die later' except now they can both be dudes. it's not that queerbaiting was inherently better it's that unfortunately people have always been bad at understanding what makes fictional romance compelling, which is 'who the fuck are these people in the first place and why should i care'

I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes

i actually think that dating a professional athlete who was insane about his sport would be my ideal relationship. not for the usual reasons (money, relative fame, etc) but because he would be out of town like 300 days a year and i'd have the house to myself

people who tag ryliver stuff as buddie because you’re afraid of rpfing, please allow whimsy and light into your hearts. there are two guys who are in a workplace situationship but are stupid dumb dumb idiots who can’t figure out they’re in love with each other after most of a decade, and then there are two different guys who are in a different workplace situationship where they openly flirt with each other in a way that is so intense and obvious that it makes everyone around them a little uncomfortable. they are not the same.

was talking to my mom about how white people ignore the contributions of poc to academia and I found myself saying the words "I bet those idiots think Louis Pasteur was the first to discover germ theory"

which admittedly sounded pretentious as fuck but I'm just so angry that so few people know about the academic advancements during the golden age of Islam.

Islamic doctors were washing their hands and equipment when Europeans were still shoving dirty ass hands into bullet wounds. ancient Indians were describing tiny organisms worsening illness that could travel from person to person before Greece and Rome even started theorizing that some illnesses could be transmitted

also, not related to germ theory, but during the golden age of Islam, they developed an early version of surgery on the cornea. as in the fucking eye. and they were successful

and what have white people contributed exactly?

please go research the golden age of Islamic academia. so many of us wouldn't be alive today if not for their discoveries

people ask sometimes how I can be proud to be Muslim. this is just one of many reasons

some sources to get you started:

but keep in mind, it wasn't just science and medicine! we contributed to literature and philosophy and mathematics and political theory and more!

maybe show us some damn respect

hiiiii, can you do 26 for Buddie?? <3

26- play fighting

"We're not watching this," Eddie says as soon as he sits down. "No, c'mon, it's the finale," Buck whines. Eddie makes a face. "It's Dancing with the Stars."

"And?" Eddie sighs, sipping on his beer. "And, we've already seen this season." "But I love the way they blend flamenco and-- No, get off!" Eddie's laughing, reaching across Buck for the remote, trying to balance his drink while accosting him. Buck lets out an indignant squawk, pushing Eddie away, but Eddie doesn't relent. He plonks his beer on the coffee table and uses one hand to hold Buck by the shoulder and the other to reach for the remote, which Buck is holding out. Breathless with laughter, they both keep at it, pushing and prodding at one another. Finally Eddie sits up on his knees and swings a leg up and over Buck's thighs, straddling him. Sure, it's dirty pool, since he knows Buck is very susceptible to Eddie on top of him, but it allows him to trace his hand down Buck's arm and pluck the remote from his grip. Buck's eyes are wide and blue, cheeks flushed a pretty pink. Eddie kisses him once, twice, three times. "I win." "Hm." In a rush, Buck is unseating him and flipping them both. Eddie gasps at it, finding his back pressed into the couch, Buck looming over him. It's not like he can ever forget that Buck is so big and strong-- in fact, it takes up a large portion of his brain-- but sometimes the reminder hits him smack in the forehead when Buck does something like this. Buck's grinning, the asshole, clearly pleased with himself. And Eddie's never really been able to deny him anything. "Fine. But after, we're putting on the Golden Bachelor." Buck's smile widens. "So I win!" But when he sits next to Eddie, curled into him, one hand idly playing with his hair, keeping up a silly commentary the whole time, sweet and happy and lovely, Eddie knows he's still the winner.

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update
