for once, the shadows gave way to light (G): Stella decides to do something about Rayla and Callum's beating around the massive bush of their feelings for each other.

it happened so fast and suddenly the only thing i saw was you (T): Callum can't help but be sad when he doesn't have an excuse to cuddle Rayla at night anymore when they reach the Starscraper. But maybe they don't need an excuse.

i scratch your head, you fall asleep (T): Rayla sings Callum to sleep at the Moon Nexus.

i'm grateful you're my daughter more than anything (T): Post 6x09, Runaan finds Rayla as she takes care of Callum. She's changed, and he couldn't be a prouder father.

make a new excuse, another stupid reason (G): Callum goes on the hunt for his comically large block of ice.

Pokémon

I Can't Wait to Go Home (T): Serena has just placed second in Hoenn's Grand Festival, losing to her friend May Maple. Performing and Coordinating, though her passion, have grown exhausting, and so before she heads back home to Kalos to compete for Kalos Queen, she decides to take a vacation to the Alola Region. But what will happen if she reunites with her inspiration for performing in the first place?

But These People Raised Me (and I Can't Wait to Go Home) (T): A collection of chapters I wrote that didn't fit into the main story of "I Can't Wait to Go Home."

We Will Fight to Shine Together (T): Ash, on his journey after becoming World Monarch, stumbles across a certain performer in Hoenn. An accident, however unfortunate, may be just what the two of them need.

everyone laughs, and then it is quiet (T): After the Kalos Crisis, Ash and Serena find time to talk.

Paying it Forward with a Smile! (G): While traveling in Hoenn, Serena encounters a situation that hits close to home. This may just be the opportunity for her to pay an act of kindness forward.

Other fandoms

Hadestown:

follow you to the great unknown (T): Orpheus's thoughts on the road out of hell.

down in the river of oblivion (T): Hermes is stuck on the middle of the road to hell, and he has been for several centuries. Men, even gods, can only take so much.

Rick Riordan-Verse

he has the kind of love for her that you and i once had (T): Hera won't allow Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase to marry. Aphrodite takes matters into her own hands.

The Master of Wind

[corvidcall]

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚

Great time to start pricing this out by the way, fire season starts… on the summer solstice this year, that’s fun. Signs point to it being a doozy.

[maidenvault]

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

[mooncustafer]

If the text says the curtains are blue you can argue about what that means; but if you’re going to claim they’re actually yellow you’d better have a really good argument.

[sandersgrey]

Unpopular opinion but literally not one person in the world should have their human rights violated

[sandersgrey]

If one person's rights can be waved away, so can yours

[cumaeansibyl]

yes, even those people.

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.”

― H.L. Mencken

me as a teenager: man it sucks to have no privacy or autonomy but i guess its for a good reason. when i turn 18 i will realise how young i was and understand why they did all that.

me as an adult: teenagers are an oppressed class, their abuse is normalised and systemic and they need to start killing people

the bravest human

[riseofthecommonwoodpile]

you make one fucking post where the point is “women are encouraged to develop disordered eating from a very young age and that impacts how we view the ‘natural’ size and shape of women” and too many reblogs later i am being accused of saying short people wouldn’t exist if they ate better growing up. i’m sorry but if you genuinely think i was saying that you are just a buffoon. i cannot and will not sanction your buffoonery.

Saw a review for Supergirl saying the movie is bad because it frames killing Krem as a bad thing even though he's a terrible person and it made me realize my whole issue with how often Krem gets brought up as a problem for the movie because.........it's not about him. The morals of killing Krem aren't about him. They're about Ruthye and Kara.

He's not an interesting villain because it's not about him. He's not complexly motivated because it's not about him. Killing him is framed as a bad thing because Ruthye is 13 years old and shouldn't have to know what it's like to kill. Kara killing him is upsetting because she's taking on the burden of all the young girls who are endangered by Krem. A burden no girl should've ever had in the first place.

It's not about him. It's about the girls.

In Project Hail Mary (the book) there’s a bit where Stratt is being sued for pirating literally everything ever

And I’ve seen lots of posts about how she pulls out the “I can do what I want” paper, but I wanted to highlight some other things about the scene that I found absolutely hilarious:

She’s actively working on something else on her tablet as the trial is beginning.

She doesn’t have a lawyer or anything. It’s just her alone at the defense table

She immediately and continuously requests to end the trial so she can leave (and interrupts both the Plaintiff and the Judge to do so)

After being denied a few times, she just gets up and leaves anyway. When they try to stop her she’s just like “I literally have the entire US army under my command, you have no way to make me stay here.”

Grace isn’t even IN this scene. Every other “past” scene so far has been Grace remembering something from his own life, but I think they threw this one in as a Just For Stratt Special™️

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

obligatory mention that due to the Fair Use Doctrine, and being on US soil, there was no viable case for the prosecution. zip. zilch. nada. they had absolutely nothing on her. how did it not get thrown out immediately?

[rookenby]

Everyone's so focused on Grace's primary hypothesis (life doesn't need water) remaining unsupported that you're ignoring his secondary hypothesis (the Goldilocks zone is for idiots) being proven correct
