I don’t want to gatekeep you, I want you to love the thing, I want you to come in, I want you to walk by all the framed family fandom pictures on the walls as I narrate what scenes they’re from and then I sit you on the couch so I can serve you fandom tea and let the fandom characters sit on your lap like cats so you can pet them while I put on a minor low budget production about why this thing is fun and why you might like it too, I am your fucking docent, my knowledge is your knowledge and if I don’t know something I know another docent who does, follow me through the gates to the promised land my friend
sorry but I am officially a joel miller apologist. the fireflies knock him out & as soon as he regains consciousness marlene breaks the news to him that ‘yah sorry you’re never going to see your daughter again bc the surgery is lethal. but here’s her knife as a keep sake <3′ i’m sorry marlene but u thought that was going to go over well? you thought the insanely dangerous and firearm proficient man was who obviously bonded to ellie was going to go calmly? she should have sent ten men to escort him out. thirty. she should have just shot him in the head while he was unconscious. but of course she underestimated how much he cared. what he would do for ellie. bc she knew mean gruff self serving survivalist joel not father joel. she didn’t even let joel and ellie say goodbye to each other. was planning on killing ellie without even telling her for an experimental procedure they had no proof would work. didn’t even give joel the option to see her one last time. “would u kill 1 person to save 100?” they didn’t even allow a fourteen year old the agency to answer that question. team joel
hello! a common friend of mine (who’s at the University of Plymouth) is struggling to pay tuition. he’s in the UK under a student visa, and could lose everything. Abba is truly SUCH an incredible person, he’ll be such an incredible architect when he graduates. but he can only do that with our help.
mercy seems like a long shot here, so my prayer for inauguration day 2025: may they be incompetent. may they just be really bad at implementation. may their egos choke their effectiveness. may they drown themselves week by week with infighting and selfish posturing. may they be easily distracted. may the very governors and senators and agencies and religious leaders that the new administration expects to be friendly force endless stalemates to preserve their own power. may every delay turn into a three ring blame circus so chaotic that no one remembers what they were doing. may the good and necessary parts of government be too boring to draw attention and keep running quietly in the background. may the next four years be full of sound and fury and signify nothing.
Got reminded again of my old coworker who was a massive misogynist but also trans inclusive. Told me he believed trans women are indeed women because "only women would be stupid enough to want to be women"
I wonder what he's doing now
i finished school thinking that i could finally escape the black cloud of worry (overdue assignments) but NOPE. it’s 3 days til final transcripts are due and apparently grades aren’t finished yet and the school isn’t taking anyone’s calls :/. not how i wanted to start my first year of university, not gonna lie to you.
My mom accidentally joined a grieving support group (long story, she's not grieving tho) and she's missing it this week while visiting me and she's VERY concerned that Lorraine, who very kindly offered to bring a baked good like mom usually would, will NOT bring the correct kind of dessert, she says citrus tarts aren't "griefy" enough
“Be gay do crime!!” “Eat the rich!!”
And you can’t even boycott the most famous TERF in the UK
being my friend must be so confusing. bc i just spent 2 years killing remus and everyone he’s ever loved for fun (in both reading and writing). i filter MCD in. my favorite past time is putting my comfort characters in the hospital. every fic rec i give is devastating.
but then joel miller, a 60 year old man who lowkey deserves worse, is killed and i (man hating lesbian) am inconsolable for weeks. i can’t handle it.
and my lovely long suffering best friends are trying to find the rule here but they just. cannot. and every time they try to clarify i start crying again
no more girlboss-ifying annabeth. no more hermione-ifying annabeth. no more team mom-ifyign annabeth. 2025 is the year we embrace that annabeth is in fact pathetic and sopping wet. nico's time is over. he's happy. he's gay. it's time to dig into annabeth's daddy issues, abandonment issues, and undiagnosed autism
