A Good Pot Of Pasta Would Fix Me

i think we as modern humans have a tendency to forget that historical people were also humans who had thoughts and feelings and dreams just like we do

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:

Every time I see a bunch of posts from Neil Gaiman on my feed I think, "Neil... you're procrastinating writing again, aren't you"

Bruce wayne: “haha Mr Kent you can snap me like a KitKat-” *brutal sounds of a sleep deprived middle aged man falling off a table*

mike is naturally snarky. like that's indisputable. he's a playful little jerk who pours syrup on his sister's plate after she calls his food choices gross and makes hopper's life a living hell for fun. he's a little shit, that's just a fact

but this is what he looks like when he's being annoying on purpose as a way to show affection

the general consensus whenever he starts shit seems to be "well, that's just mike", but no, it's not. it's really not. he rarely looks like this.

the thing with will's campaign was close, because he seemed to be goofing around with lucas as much as anything else, but it was still just... off

either will's being particularly testy, or mike doesn't usually act like this with him, or both. either way, the explosive reaction took him off guard. his playfulness is still present in that dynamic, it just looks different than the usual kind that can easily be misconstrued as being genuinely mean or disrespectful if you look at it in bad faith

side note: it's gotta suck that whenever he stops being so freaking serious for 2 minutes and actually acts his age he's regularly met with hostility and yelling and people storming off

throughout the show, we don't see mike like this a lot or for very long. we see him being genuinely abrasive. that's not personality, it's trauma

The demonisation of Alicent Hightower and her choices regarding her children remind me so much of the way this fandom chose to condem outline Sansa for her own decision about her son it's not even funny.

Outline Sansa didnt cause the conflict between the Starks and Lannisters - they caused that themselves. Sansa was only responding to it by protecting her kid. We have no idea how the Starks would have felt about her son. For we all know they would have insisted on them being sent to the Wall or the Faith. Catelyn calls the potential children Sansa might give Tyrion "vile" (understandable, given what was happening) so I don't think it's an entirely unrealistic assumption. Seriously, why the hell should outline Sansa be condemned for choosing her kid over her family? They married her to Joffrey in the first place.

Similarly, Alicent didn't cause the dangerous situation, Viserys did. It doesn't matter if her children honoured Rhaenyra's right to succession - her children would always be seen as a threat, if not by Rhaenyra then by her unpredictable husband.

Pov- Mike after the Quarry incident can't wear that specific shirt because it freaks Dustin out.

litany against the GOTification of history.
