Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*
My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.
The student loan debt thing got me thinking. Fuck the founding fathers of course, but "I am compelled to study war and politics so that my sons might have liberty to study philosophy and mathematics" is a great line and I think about it every time some fool starts complaining that life doesn't suck as much as it used to
Eddie posting to Tiktok: So, I just got home and Steve’s not here which is fine but it is where I left him. So, I send him a text asking where he’s at and-
*Eddie makes his background a screenshot of their text conversation. Eddie texted ‘where are you?’ and Steve responded with that gif of Spike saying ‘out for a walk, bitch’*
Eddie: who taught this man about gifs? Do you have any idea how fucking funny this is going to be?
Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system
Another strange scene I have in my head
Hellfire ending same time as basketball practice. Jason being a little dick. Tommy is there too since he is the freshmen's/sophmore jocks ride. Anyways, Jason is being a bitch, trying to be the new King™. Steve is fed up with his bs and is like "You do know you'll never be as good as I was...and still am" or smth like that. Jason is like "you wanna go" Steve is like "I'll fucking destroy you" he does! Tommy sing-songs "King's back~" Eddie is like "wtf do you mean?" And one of the older jocks explains "part of the reason we called him king was because we were terrified of him" meanwhile, Jason is getting his ass kicked hysterically in the background. The younger party is wide eyed hearing their stories of times Steve has been kind of frightening. The scene ends with Nancy being like "GUYS! JASON IS BLEEDING ON THE FLOOR CAN SOMEBODY GET HELP!" The scene ends and it cuts to Steve in the back of a cop car with sirens in the background (other than that, complete silence) it's filmed from the rear view mirror and you can see hoppers eye and and Eddie's hair in the shot as well.
That's all I got really.
When I was a kid, I thought those pillars went down to the sea floor.
In reality, they usually go down to some large submerged floats.
Good morning! I’m salty.
I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.
This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.
You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.
“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.
If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.
Everyone: The covenant is a founding part of society. Vampires and witches can never be together. It would make them too powerful and the humans would notice, it puts all of us at risk. Only a fool would try.
Diana, a thirsty historian witch (read: the fool), 2.5 seconds after realizing the hot vampire with the profile of a Greek god was probably present for at least one (1) fall of Carthage:
mike’s still smart in s3 & s4 though. he came up with the sauna test in like two seconds. he’s the entire reason the cali crew found the location of the nina project. i made a whole list of all the smart things he’s done in the show (for Reasons) and i promise you he hasn’t stopped being scary intelligent, he’s just mostly forced to deal with emotional conflicts now, which he’s abysmal at because he’s a teenage boy from a family that doesn’t talk about emotions and doesn’t even know what he’s feeling half the time, much less how to say it (or if he should say it) in ways that aren’t clumsy and impulsive and unintentionally hurtful
Reasons I like subtitles:
1. I can see how people’s names and the cities and the countries are spelled.
2. I don’t miss any words, so everything they say makes sense.
3. I get to know what background noises and conversations are.
4. The descriptions of the noises people make are freaking awesome. Ex: splutter, grunt, chuckles.
5. I can see who says what.
6. I don’t have to have the volume super loud so I can hear the dialogue, and I don’t blow my eardrums out because the ambient noises and music is SO FREAKING LOUD.
I freaking love subtitles.
