The Collector: I Brought You Here Because I Crave The Deadliest Game

What she says: im fine

What she means: the average age of conception over the past 250k years is apparently 26.9. Let's round it down to 25. Think of your birth mother at 25. Hold her hand. Imagine her holding hands with her mother. Within 4 people, you're back in time 100 years, and it's an intimate family dinner. Just after WWI. Add another 16 people, a small party of 20, and you're in the 1500s. Double it, twice, and you're at 80 people. Your family would fill a restaurant, and you're at the height of the Roman empire. At 100 people, Confucius is alive but Socrates has not yet been born. 100 people. That's a medium sized wedding. A small lecture theatre or concert. 200 people, probably the biggest party i could ever hope to host, takes you back 5000 years. The guests at your soirée of parents would be contemporaries of the Egyptian and Indus Valley civilisations, although you'd probably be too busy fixing drinks and nibbles to talk to all of them. Just imagine it. 200 of you. That's all it takes to get back 5,000 years.

And we could go further. 1,000 people, a decent sized concert, a large high school, and we're at the end of the last ice age. Your ancestors are comparing their pink floyd vinyl with music played on instruments carved from wood or bones of long vanished species. Wander through the crowd. See your own features and phrases and gestures refract out like a kaleidoscope. What would they make of you? What do you make of them? Why does it feel so unfair that even that first 100 years --that small family dinner of four--is out of your grasp? Maybe it's because questions of spatial distance have become negligible to us now. why, oh why, does time hold out against us so stubbornly

the story of dabi soup

The difference between liushen and bingqiu is that if shen yuan transmigrated into a healer, Liu qingge would go "I have to train harder so no one can hurt me. I don't want to add more to shen yuan's workload." Meanwhile Binghe would be going "jumping in front of a carriage so I break all my bones ❤️❤️ two month long stay at the medical ward means maximum time with yuan gege!! ❤️"

drake rodger’s interpretation of john winchester has major anakin vibes. puppy dog kid with anger and darkness inside, introduced to the loss of family and the horrors of war way too young. he thinks he can fight his inner demons by fighting real life demons. he’s wrong. he says he’s here to save people. but he likes the violence a little too much. in fighting monsters, he loses his humanity. soon, he will forget how to imagine a life outside of the hunt. that’s the moment that seals his doom. 

druid leader: we noticed you never call your servant by his true name

arthur, slowly like he's speaking to a toddler: you mean merlin? pretty sure merlin only has one true name and that name is merlin

merlin, sweating profusely: maybe we should just go?

druid leader: no, i meant his true name

druid leader: emrys

arthur: look, i know what you meant, i've heard it more than enough from you people. you don't get to say it and neither do i and honestly how dare you

merlin, looking like he's about to faint: what

arthur: so no, i won't call merlin by his deadname–

i don’t know if anyone’s done this before, but i’m genuinely curious — like if you ship codywan, reblog if they’re one of your favorite star wars ships?
