FOOD HUBRIS BY COUNTRY america: believes their shitty local burger chain is a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience because their mayo includes onion paste canada: if your poutine tastes better than the styrofoam plate it comes on you will discover the cold rage that lies under the canadian's polite exterior united kingdom: despite thriving and unique fusion cuisines spreading from the UK to the rest of the world in recent decades, when asked to think of 'british food' the average UK citizen will start a fight over whether cold beans with a modest side of white bread is haute cuisine france: McDo Ortolan Bunting italy: extremely mad about american versions of italian food. blissfully ignorant of what happens in brazil brazil: if the scientific genius applied to making cronenbergian pizzas were applied to anything else, brazilians would all be commuting to jobs on the moon. They have pizza that can feel pain russia: obviously mayonnaise is the perfect topping for all foodstuffs, this is solved. The question is what to put on top of mayonnaise, and it might never be answered germany: less a joke than a fact: the single most produced numbered Volkswagen part is a standardized currywurst
At this point I think some fantasy author should just bite the bullet and write a novel where a teenager protagonist lives as a secret magic-user in our world and tries to master their skills in a magic school, but it is explicitly not an English or American protagonist, and the more they start to understand the world they live in, they more they realise that globally magic practicioners are being heavily scrutinisied and supressed by an anglo-american hegemony, which was established during England’s imperial years and has survived to this day as the “global magical hegemony” where England has an unfair advantage over all others because they stole almost all powerful magical artefacts and now refuse to give them back.
And as the protagonist gets more involved in the ways magic outside of anglo-saxon cultural sphere is being supressed, the more the reader will realise that we are referencing Harry Potter here. People will talk about “That English school” where most hegemony enforcers are alumni from. People will share urban legends that they still allow segrecation and slavery in England, and no one will believe them “because come one, we live in the 21st century” but that one character who worked with the English keeps unnervingly quiet. And there are references to a dangerous high-level enforcer with green eyes who is also a war veteran, who isn’t an evil guy, but from the point of view of the story is very much an antagonist.
And the world is built in such a way that it slots seamlessly into Rowling’s canon, but at the same time not a single Harry Potter related thing is actually named. And obviously there should be a lot of friction regarding the fact that a lot of magic traditions around the world are built around the assumption that Gender-noncomformity and crossdressing and gender-identities outside from the “mundane” two sex system are signs of magical identity, expect for the Anglo-saxon hegemony which very agressively will stamp down on those traditions.
And now that I’m stream-of-consciousness writing all this down, I realise that the story should obviously climax with a heist, where a group misfits try to break into the hidden magical floor of the British Museum and steal back some artefacts.
And the story should be an anthology between several different writers from different countries, all disillusioned HP fans.
i think it should be tradition now that in every finale battle the doctor is rescued by the strong arms of a dyke and comforted by the power of lesbianism i think it feels right and correct
ANY TIME SOMEONE SHAMES YOU FOR WRITING FANFICTION
REMEMBER THAT THIS
IS FANFICTION OF THIS
THIS

EVERYTHING IS FANFICTION OF SOMETHING, WE ONLY CARE THAT IT’S GOOD AND MAKES US HAPPY
I’ve been thinking a lot about Destiel, since one of my friends said that she can just as easily ship Cas with Sam, since the three of them are the only characters that appear in every episode. She has a good point, but then I realised, the reason we ship Destiel more than Sastiel (nothing wrong with that btw) is because the way the show is written/edited/filmed makes everything to do with Cas connected to DEAN.
Who always calls Cas? (9x21, 5x14)
Dean
Who gets inordinately pissed at Cas, taking the things he does personally? (8x22)
Dean
Who does the weirdly long, eye sex contact thing with Cas? (8x7, 7x17, 7x21)
Dean
Who prays to Castiel, when things are going wrong, even when they don’t know if they can trust him? (8x17)
Dean
Who was Castiel trained to kill, when both brothers were a legitimate threat to the angels? (8x17)
Dean
Who gets all the romantic parallels of other lovers with Cas? (12x23, 6x20, 8x07)
Dean
Who is so beside himself with grief that he doesn’t think to care about a newborn baby, because Cas is dead? (12x23) And forgets everything but Cas when he’s stabbed? (9x03)
Dean
Who does Cas always look to when making declarations? (6x20, 12x23)
Dean
Who does the camera ALWAYS focus on when Cas reappears? (8x21, 13x05)
Dean
Who did Castiel go to see before he made his Deal with Crowley? (6x20)
Dean
Who does Castiel come for, from the very beginning? (6x03, 6x21)
Dean
Who is the person that Cas hugs first after being apart from them for any length of time? (12x01, 9x21)
Dean
Who does Cas go on adventures/hunts with? (13x06)
Dean
When possessing Cas, who does Lucifer choose to taunt, even though he has a lot more history with Sam? (11x18)
Dean
And who do the other characters always pair Cas with? (7x23, 6x17)
Dean
When it comes to Castiel it is always, always, always, always, always, ALWAYS Dean… and that is why I believe in Destiel

People being like "why is Ken just Ken" and thinking it's a gimmick for girl bossing Barbie clearly never watched Barbie Life in the Dream House because if they had they'd know that Ken is a very smart and capable guy but chooses to dedicate his life to Barbie because he loves her. He literally has a sixth sense for if Barbie is unhappy or needs something and will drop everything to help/cheer her up. Ken chooses not to pursue careers like Barbie does because it would interrupt his Barbie time. Ken is a self imposed trophy husband and I won't let people question his decision!

TVARCHIVE LAUNCH EVENT: favorite television arc by member — @delphines ↳ The Twelfth Doctor’s character arc (Doctor Who)
I hate it when you’re reading smut and you can’t figure out what position they’re in.
“Why can’t these two just get alo- nevermind.”
Wolfstar fights be like. 🤠 Lesson of the day: Don’t tell Padfoot where to go. It’ll be in Moony’s pants.
Dialogue inspo from @redadidassneakers text post 🤪
kept teasing to a minimum ^ best friend ^ vllt muss das nochmal ein paar von den heutigen ddf autoren gezeigt werden
fantasy characters: “Geez”
me: who the fuck spread Christianity there
The sequel ‘Skull Measuring for beginners’ is scheduled for 2025.
Movie Idea:
A French and a German guy are in love but when they want to greet each other the German sticks his hand out for a handshake and the French guy leans in for cheek kisses.
So the French guy leans in and the German sticks his hand out and accidentally rams it in the French guys stomach.
Then the German guy is super embarrassed because he fucking decked the love of his life so he decides to give the French guy those cheek kissed next time.
At the same time the French guy is also super embarrassed so he decides to go for a handshake next time.
They meet again and what happens? The German guy leans in for kisses, the French guy sticks his hand out for a handshakes and fucking rams his hand into the Germans stomach.
Next time they meet it's really awkward so they just kiss each other on the lips.

Can you recommend the best pining fics?
The Librarian prefers to stay away from the word “best” since everyone has different tastes, but these are a few personal favorites. Once the list hit twelve fics tho, the search had to cease. Hope you enjoy these!
Wolfstar Pining Fics
Time Off Dating, or, The return of Remus Lupin by @wanderingbandurria Sirius decides to take a break from dating after a few horrible experiences. He’s now focusing on his friends, fighting the war and figuring out where he stands in all this mess. And then Remus gets back in his life after almost a year away with the werewolves on behalf of the Order. And it’s the same old Moony with his cardigans, sarcasm, soft eyes and thoughtfulness.
Sweet Nuthin' by @kattlupin
When the summer between third and fourth year begins, Sirius expects it to be nothing but lazy days, harmless pranks with James, and the occasional meet-up with the rest of his friends from Hogwarts. Those plans go out the window rather quickly when he gets a sudden glimpse of Remus Lupin, a mysterious boy who changes everything about Sirius Black's life and shows him that love will always win in the end.
Unmake the Bed by Chromat1cs Remus is out on assignment and Sirius is getting stir-crazy, and writing a letter might help with some of the more squirrely feelings boiling up in all this quietude.
Midday, Midnight by @aryastark-valarmorghulis During the summer of 1976, between fifth and sixth year at Hogwarts (and after The Prank), Remus goes outside the Lupin's cottage and he finds a big, black dog in his garden...
Elucidation Practice by montparnasse Christmas, 1978. Remus, wrestling with the mighty problems of gift-giving on a budget, contemplates life, love, London in winter, and falling off the edge of the world with Sirius Black.
Remember Me -orphaned fic Remus Lupin was having an Ordinary Tuesday. That is, until a strange boy grabs him and offers him money to play the boyfriend. Remus thinks it will all be fine, until he's pulled into Number 12 Grimmauld place, and finds himself swept away by Sirius O. Black.
Christmas Canoodles by @kinugoshi-dofu It's the trope holy trinity with Wolfstar: when Remus's grandmother mistakenly assumes he is dating Sirius and invites them over for Christmas on a fjord, there's nothing this loyal grandson can do but fake a relationship and call his best friend boyfriend - can this particular werewolf survive sharing a bed with his crush all during the holidays? Only one way to find out!
Midnight Snacks and Stolen Hearts by Judeyjude The first time it happened, Sirius wondered if miracles were real. The second time it happened, he wondered what on earth he did to deserve something so wonderful, if only for a few moments.
Rollerskate by @biremus 'You're a gold star fallen from its natural plane' Remus Lupin isn't ready for university at all. As if leaving his old friends behind wasn't enough, now he has to deal with lovesick teenagers, ridiculously overambitious pranks, University Challenge tryouts, and that one gorgeous boy who just won't leave him alone...
Fractured Skies -orphaned fic Two worlds collide. Deaf artist Sirius Black works at his best mate's cafe. Remus Lupin is an epileptic student from France who is just looking to get by unnoticed. But the artist sees something he wants in the shy boy, and makes it his mission to see what makes Remus tick.
Camp Casanova by Farquad All lonely 11 years old Remus Lupin wants is a friend. But when he arrives at Slughorn's summer camp for teenage boys his world turns upside down since he finds himself sharing a cabin with three other boys; James Potter, Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black.
Cupid Disarmed by Chromat1cs Remus Lupin has Veela blood, Sirius Black reads trite romance novels, and neither of them are quite sure what the fuck to do with their hands when they get to talking with one another.
Please share this along with any other recs you have!
I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like “this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol” when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every “classical” looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad
some sandman bits and bobs about siblings (comic ver.)
I think one of the most damaging ideologies towards children is the conviction that having children isn’t a calling but a moral obligation.
i think my fav german idioms are “es zieht wie hechtsuppe”, “da brat mir einer nen storch!”, “holla die waldfee”, “perlen vor die säue”. most of them are untranslateable but i’ll try.
es zieht wie hechtsuppe = literally: It drafts like pickerel soup. Meaning: There is a strong draft in this place. Ex. “Close the window, es zieht wie Hechtsuppe in here!”
da brat mir einer nen storch! = literally: Someone should roast a stork for me now! Meaning: That’s incredibly surprising. Ex. “Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt split up? Da brat mir doch einer ‘nen Storch!”
holla die waldfee = literally: Wowsie the forest fairy. Meaning: That’s surprising and slightly unbelievable. Ex. “You managed to drink one liter of gasoline? Holla die Waldfee.”
perlen vor die säue = literally: pearls in front of the sows. Meaning: something is wasted on people who can’t appreciate it. Ex. “No wonder the Kingergarteners didn’t appreciate your brilliant lecture on Nietzsche’s morality. Da hast du Perlen vor die Säue geworfen.”
that’s just all. so nonsensical when you stop to think about it… they all have linguistic explanations (hechtsuppe comes from a yiddish word, for example) but they’re just… hilariously dadaistic. (and perlen vor die säue is just too cool)
