i love wikipedia and i think it is good and right to give them money but all their funding drive messages are “well… we’ll be killing ourselves tonight. we asked so little of you and yet it seems that simply nobody cares about lil ol wikipedia anymore….sad…”

Rosekiller would get married, then get divorced just so that they can get married again

- cherry wine is about domestic abuse. it’s now called a cute proposal song.

- too sweet is about seizing the day and ignoring healthy habits in favor of having more fun with unhealthy ones. he’s actively critical of himself in the song. it’s now called a song about thinking you’re superior for drinking black coffee.

- take me to church is about worship as a metaphor for sex. it’s called a religious song.

- eat your young is a song about war and political greed. it’s called a song about sex.

- now, the strongly political message of nobody’s soldier is being ignored in favor of calling it a metaphor for hozier’s relationship with his fans.

when are we going to stop simplifying hozier’s music down to cute little cottagecore bogman forest music? maybe you dont want to hear this but i don’t care. quit listening to hozier for the aesthetic. there’s a reason why empire now, foreigner’s god, butchered tongue, etc. songs with unignorable political messages are among his least popular songs.

Two years. Two long years. TWO FUCKING YEARSSS Locked out of home sweet home. Was it my fault? Maybe. Did I forget my password? Definitely. But today, against all odds, I return. The vibes are immaculate. The dashboard a bit more hinged since i left but alas 2021 you will be missed. The memes? Pristine. The tags? Still a lawless wasteland. I scroll through the archives like an archaeologist unearthing cursed relics of my own cringe. Did I write that? Yes. Will I delete it? absolutely not. or perhaps. mmmaybe

We’re ignoring the fact that this is the second time ive done this. atleast i didnt have to make a new acc this time

in hindsight we are so incredibly fucking lucky that viktor matched jayce's freak. i feel like a normal person, after being betrayed and murdered by their best friend, would be upset or maybe even seek revenge against them. but viktor literally picked himself up off the ground and went nooooooo don't stop my glorious evolution you're so sexy haha be my partner again. and that's fucking crazy. but it matches jayce's crazy so it cancels out and thank god for that

You werent BORN gay, you CHOSe to listen to Take Me To Church by Hozier on youtube at age 11 and for some reason had the odd feeling that something was up The gateway for some was listening to the nightcore version as an edgy 11 year old, and you cant prove me wron g

look this is gonna be a hard to swallow pill for the pjo fandom,

but the sun and the star is coming out at a really important time in the USA -- homophobia is on the rise, books like this are being restricted, and policies are being debated and passed to exterminate queer and trans people from the public sphere. having a positive example of a queer relationship in fiction, especially as part of a mega-popular middle grade series, is going to be important to a lot of the queer 10-14 year olds that make up this book's main demographic.

i have never, ever seen a percy jackson book have such a negative reception online. and it's just a coincidence that this is the first queer-focused installment of the series?

people are seeing the extent of the hate and thinking they shouldn't bother reading tsats at all, that they have already heard enough from people who hate the book. I have had people reblog my positive posts and say "maybe i'll give this book a chance, this is the first nice post i've seen about it." that's really fucking sad yall.

maybe tsats wasn't what you expected, maybe it contradicted your headcanons, maybe you prefer ships other than solangelo. you don't have to like tsats. but the amount of vocal hate for it is ridiculous. other pjo books do not get this kind of hate -- picking apart and complaining about every tiny little detail, ridiculing the writing style of both authors, mocking the attempts at sincerity, even sometimes mocking people who did like the book.

i have never seen this harsh of a response before (and i'm old -- I've been a percy jackson reader since the lightning thief came out in 2005) and especially not from such large portions of the fandom to the point where people who haven't read it are feeling discouraged from doing so.

Please look at the big picture. your opinions don't exist in a vacuum. maybe this is a hot take, but at some point the hate is indistinguishable from how homophobes talk about queer fiction. i'm just saying there are better things to turn your anger towards, and if you hated this book so much just do what the rest of us do and write fucking fanfiction to make yourself feel better. fucks sake

Gaming doesn't make me angry, lags do.

So, what's the solution?

Stop playing games?

NO.

Use the neighbor's WiFi?

YES.

been thinking about the Red Robin comic run and the conversation/argument between Dick and Tim over Damian becoming Robin and I realized something I don't see touched on a lot in fics that cover the events of Red Robin and Bruce being stuck in the Time Stream.

Tim honestly DOESN'T understand WHY this is the choice Dck is making. Not just because Robin means everything to Tim and is pretty much his last tie to the family with Bruce gone.

It's because Tim has ALWAYS viewed Batman & Robin as Partners, as Equals. The other Robins see the role as a sidekick. Like Dick says Robin = Protégé,

Tim has NEVER been Bruce/Batman's Sidekick. He learned from Bruce, yeah, but Tim became Robin because Batman was killing himself without a partner. Tim is the only Robin to regularly lie, keep secrets, scold, or otherwise treat Bruce like they stand on equal footing. Batman and Robin are Co-Leaders, and Tim straight up falsified a human being in order to keep a work-life balance!

From Tim's perspective, Dick is Literally telling Tim that he's breaking up the team and rebranding by demoting the Role of Robin. Dick HATES being Batman, but is Tim were his Robin, they would be unfucking stoppable. Because Tim wouldn't let Dick take on everything.

Tim's unshakable faith in the idea of Batman and Robin is that Robin is not only Batman's equal and the brighter side of the duo, but also there to remind Batman to Chill The Fuck Out. A good Robin counteracts the weight of the Cowl. And you know what? Jason knows Tim is a perfect fucking Robin.

I mean yeah okay he's kicking the shit out of Tim but that's just how Jason and Tim are for now. Jason is a little fucked up but he's got the right idea. and Honestly? Jason is just Bruce gone too far at this point. Basically just what Tim took up the Mantel of Robin to prevent Bruce becoming.

Tim could absolutely Fix Jason up if they had to be B&R together. Bet.

Does anyone know where I can read the poem haruspex by teresa Pham-carsillo in full?

[zikzagzagoon]

You're in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won't tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you've done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you're tired.

— Richard Siken

You’re cool

Also, what do you think the worst thing the batkids did as little kids? Like, Dickie on the chandelier, Timmy skateboarding down the stairs but worse

Dick: replaced Bruce's shampoo with glue

Jason: imagine if he succeeded in jacking the Batmobile's tires

Tim: broke Janet's vase, convinced her it was Jack, and used their arguing as an excuse to sneak out for Nightwing butt pics

Damian: murder stole the cookie from Bruce's lunch box

Duke: ever watched Home Alone?

Cullen: locked his dad out of the house in December

Stephanie: put a red sock in Arthur's white laundry

Cassandra: also murder spray painted a body part on a FOX News billboard

Barbara: convinced her parents they left her at the mall

Harper: put sugar in her dad's gas tank

Carrie: buried a plastic skeleton under someone's porch

Besties. We know Bruce's adoption streak could outshine the sun, but have we considered:

Bruce is adopted, too, and he just. Forgot to tell his kids.

It all started with Damian hiding in the attic. He's an expert fighter, yes; An expert fighter who does not want to face Cass after eating the last muffin. Gracious as she is, Cassandra had her lines.

And he had to occupy his time with something. So there he is, flipping through photo albums covered in sheets of dust that leave him frowning. Alfred is careful and strict about cleaning.

The only reason why he wouldn't polished these, he weights, is because he couldn't find them. But why would anyone hide these?

He flips through pages and pages of his grandmother, glamours and sparkling and haughty, playing around with Baba; Chocholate pudding around their mouths at Galas. Playing dress up in her closet. A younger version of his Baba chewing on a pearl necklace.

There's pictures of his grandfather, too, except, -

Except. He's evidently not nearly as pale as his wife and child.

Damian blinks. Rubs his eyes. Maybe there's a mistake? Maybe this man with a sunbeam smile and warm eyes carrying Martha over his shoulder and Baba under his arm isn't Thomas.

But no; He watches the cursive, neat writing lovingly put down below the polaroid shot, - Tommy, Martha, and Bruce, 1998. Thomas dropped Bruce after Below it, another harsh scribble responds,

Gonna drop YOU next time, Cabron - T. Wayne

Note for future self; Don't let Thomas hold Bruce. - M. Wayne

He had to run down the stairs.

"GRANDFATHER WAS NOT CAUCASIAN. "

Bruce, lifting his gaze from the game of Batnopoly (Tim thought It'd be so funny), blinks at him, " He was Colombian, if you want to get technical."

" But you don't... Baba, you're, so, uh...Flavour-proof."

" Oh, he wasn't my biological father. He adopted me after he and mama got married." Everyone roasts Dick so hard because how the hell did HE not know?

" You always whine about " Oh I'm the only one who's not adopted!" That's cause you pull shit like this you clown bus"

" Parents aren't real people you seek information about, everyone knows that, JASON!"

The batkids soon start a game of finding Bruce's bio dad.

" I have no idea who he is."

"WHAT!"

"I have one father and he's probably arm wrestling God beyond the grave. And winning."
