we are officially in a new era of avatar fandom i am extremely screaming
10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU 1999, dir. Gil Junger
Please enjoy this updated meme:
I keep The Amazing Devil's Bandcamp page open on a browser tab (sometimes I just wanna roll around in their lyrics even though their words are already burned into my brain, okay, don't look at me). And today I scrolled all the way down to the bottom of Love Run's page and I noticed something I just never paid attention to before:
The antifolk tag (which is also in their other albums) intrigued me so I looked it up and found this website and this description:
Antifolk (sometimes incorrectly spelled as anti-folk) is a musical genre that promotes song-writing over technique and personality over polish. Some see it as the evolution of folk, others as a combination on punk and folk. Others believe the musical genre is so loose and difficult to define that in reality it is more of a scene.
Emphasis mine. Isn't this what we've all been yelling about in so many posts, tags, and conversations? Validation, fuck yeah!
Anyway, I think it's neat to have an answer (even if it's a nebulous one) for the ever-confounding question of what TAD music is like, a term that captures their storytelling flair and raw emotional power. Not that I believe any of us can ever limit ourselves to a single-word response when asked to describe TAD, lol.
Finally finished it :D
geraskier fic recs: feral jaskier
1. Frantic by AvoidingAverage
Geralt was hanging limply against the rough bark. Two daggers kept him pinioned like a bug in place and left dark streaks of drying blood down his arms and exposed chest. Silver hair was matted close to his forehead from a sluggishly bleeding would that left golden eyes hazy and unfocused. Worst still were the bruises littering every inch of exposed skin like a collage of torment.
His Witcher had been tortured.
———
There was a name for the emotion burning like fire in his blood, eating away at the dandelion bard that had made his living seeking the pleasure of others. A simple phrase that barely encompasses the new tension in his bones and made his mind focus with singular, violent intent.
Wrath. _________________________
Geralt leaves Jaskier to go on a hunt that quickly goes wrong. Jaskier decides to take matters into his own hands.
~~~
Whoo boy this one was good. Gave me literal chills the first time I read it. Still just as good as the first read, gotta love me some Feral!Jaskier. Jask is so cool in this one I love it a lot.
2. a bit of violent delight by violaceum_vitellina_viridis
“I’m looking for the Witcher."
“Ah, you’re here to ferret him out for us, are ya, bard?”
“I’m here to do no such thing. I’m here to see if he needs any assistance and tell you to fuck off.”
Jaskier happens to be in the right place at the right time to help an injured Eskel.
~~~
I'm not sure if I've uploaded this fic already or not but its still really good so you should read it again even if I have recommended this one before. Always love me some well written dynamic between Jaskier and the other wolf witchers (Coën too!).
3. and in triumph, live by violaceum_vitellina_viridis
The first time Jaskier properly meets Lambert, the Witcher nearly breaks the bard’s nose.
Jaskier is in the right place at the right time again, and a little violence isn't about to stop him from doing exactly what he wants: to take care of yet another Witcher.
~~~
Haha stubborn Lambert and chaotic Jaskier go brrr. Love these morons a lot and Lambert and Jaskier's dynamic almost as much as I love Geralt and Jaskiers.
4. this action will have no echo by andrewminyards
“What are you doing here?” Geralt flicks his gaze over Jaskier, who’s suddenly acutely aware of the hidden blades under his clothes. “Where’s your lute?”
“My - what are you doing here?” Jaskier deflects, trying valiantly to hide his panic. With Geralt here, how is he supposed to kill the lord now?
“The lord hired me as a bodyguard.” Geralt looks around uncomfortably, clearing his throat. “Apparently someone’s trying to kill him.”
Jaskier’s stomach drops. Well, shit. If the lord knows that someone is after him, Jaskier will have a harder time getting close enough to kill him, and with Geralt acting as a bodyguard… that complicates things. A lot.
*
Jaskier is an assassin, but Geralt doesn’t know that. When Jaskier is sent after a cruel, corrupt lord who has hired Geralt as his bodyguard, Jaskier tries to figure out how to assassinate the lord without Geralt finding out his secret.
~~~
Ah, chaos and misunderstandings my beloved. 10/10 would read again I love the concept of this fic so much. Also this author is a really good author I'd totally recommend checking out their other fics (I'm subscribed to them!).
5. damned saint, honourable villain by violaceum_vitellina_viridis
“I’m Jaskier, or Dandelion, a – ”
“Bard, professor, infamous thorn in the side,” the Witcher finishes for him.
Jaskier is the one saved, for once. Though that hardly stops him from helping the Witcher who helped him.
~~~
Vesemir my beloved <3 <3. Wow this really giving found family vibes huh, totally not being called out here. Vesemir as a father figure? Yes please.
6. the fume of sighs by violaceum_vitellina_viridis
Jaskier can be very patient when he needs to be.
But Gods is he tired of Geralt’s shit.
Jaskier not-so-gently bullying his favorite Witcher.
~~~
Haha Jaskier and Geraly dynamic funny. Love these stupid boys so much. Also like, mood Jaskier, honestly. I too, am sick of Geralt's shit lmao.
7. Don't Leave Me by AvoidingAverage
Jaskier’s hands tighten around Geralt before slowly losing their grip, spasming where they fall limp. “Ger--geralt--”
“Don’t you dare,” he snarls back, “Don’t you dare try to give me your fucking goodbyes. You are not dying.”
“S--silly man.” Jaskier’s smile is full of painful fondness. “Would you fight death for me?”
Geralt swings him up into his arms and nearly weeps at the sound of familiar hooves running in his direction. “Every. Fucking. Time.”
~~~
Haha ouch. It's angst with a happy ending but it still hurted. Also poisoning is involved so theres that I guess. This stressed me out a bit lmao was on the edge of my seat far too many times.
💗
Sooo, I just watched Ice Age for the first time in a while, and was not prepared for how much Sid and Manny reminded me of season 1 Gerald and Jaskier. They even have a child surprise!

when you responded to the ask abt kissing in chapter six? and said 'oh, my sweet summer child'? i felt that crunch somewhere between the third and fourth vertebrae. the sweating and shaking increases with every passing day
*gentle pats*
I promise the slow burn will be worth it. Hang in there!

as much as the concept of Jesus being a fairly normal lad has its charms, im personally very intrigued by the idea of him being just… extremely weird. not even in a mystical sense, just…….staggeringly BIZZARRE.
you go to the well to get some water, and here’s Miriam’s boy, staring at the sky, completely still. his expression is unreadable. you hazard a hello and ask how he’s doing, and he slowly, unblinkingly, lowers his gaze on you (he’s 8 and is missing his frontal teeth, not that this is making you any less uncomfortable) and says “I cannot speak of the state of my being, Nathan son of Saul, my brother, but rejoice for the water you shall take today will be as pure as the soul of the children of Heaven”
…you start sweating
Chip the glasses and crack the plates! Blunt the knives and bend the forks! That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates — Smash the bottles and burn the corks! Cut the cloth and tread on the fat! Pour all the milk on the pantry floor! Leave the bones on the bedroom mat! Splash the wine on every door! Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl; Pound them up with a thumping pole; And when you’ve finished, if any are whole, Send them down the hall to roll! That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates! So, carefully! carefully with the plates! That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates! So, carefully! carefully with the plates!

This is the best thing i’ve ever heard, (This had 200,000 notes and then tumblr deleted it.

I don’t know how one normally eats baklava, but I have a feeling I’m doing it wrong.
Mighty dark challenger of the fortified woods.
Eating while on shift is not permitted, staff are told. “If the system detects no keyboard stroke and mouse click, it will show you as idle for that particular duration, and it will be reported to your supervisor. So please avoid hampering your productivity.”
A training video about the webcam system, seen by the Guardian, says it “monitors and tracks real-time employee behaviour and detects any violations to pre-set business rules, and sends real-time alerts to managers to take corrective actions immediately”.
Capitalism is so exhausting
Has this one made it to tumblr yet
Just to be absolutely clear, I don’t agree with real person shipping, especially in public spaces like social media. Objectifying other people’s relationships is not cool and can do real damage to real people.
As a fan it can be easy to view celebrities and influencers as an abstract concept and feel that the things we do in fan spaces don’t affect them, but that’s really the farthest thing from the truth. Shipping real people can negatively affect people with millions of fans, let alone when people ship those in their more direct social circles like friends or teachers.
It’s just really not a good idea, and I want rpf shippers to know that I don’t hate them and it’s really not personal, but I just think that shipping real people is very very different from shipping fictional characters as the former can actively hurt the real lives of others in so many ways. I think it’s just best to refrain from real person shipping, period.
hey quick question why did no one ever tell me how fucking insane M*A*S*H is?? their commanding officer is a horse girl. the secretary has psychic powers. this guy walks around a 1950s military outpost in drag and everyone’s just like hey nice dress. the protagonist who is supposed to be the best surgeon in the entire korean war spends every episode strutting around drunk in a hawaiian shirt making homoerotic wisecracks and asking the nurses to step on him like some sort of unhinged bisexual jimmy buffet. guys what the hell is going on in this army doctor show
