It’s too hot to give a fuck that the prime minister resigned…again

This is almost better than finding out new info through the supernatural meme

I understand where the aversion to a fictional character's problems getting "fixed" by a relationship comes from - romantic relationships aren't everything there is to life and I've seen people in real life jump from shitty relationship to shitty relationship because they're terrified of being single, which is sad!

However, when people take this to the extreme where the only Correct and Morally Upstanding way to fix a character's problems is to have them figure out everything on their own because they are Strong and Independent and then after they've done that they are cleared for a relationship..... man that's depressing as hell. Do you know how much easier it is to work on yourself when you have someone close by who is nice to you? Who cares about you as a person and wishes you the best and is willing to say things like "hey have you eaten anything today? have you gotten enough sleep? I don't think everyone hates you. what if we went for a walk?"

and that CAN come from a platonic friend or a romantic partner or anything in between but it really does help to have someone in your house who is nicer to you than you are to yourself. and that's not something you have to earn by obtaining enough Therapy Points, whether you're a fictional character or not. being romantically involved with someone doesn't prevent you from growing or changing as a person.

Yeah dunno about you but I feel like some people have taken the more sensible idea of "it CAN be beneficial to SOME people to spend some time being single/alone and reflecting on themselves (e.g. if they're over-reliant on the idea that a partnership will fix their problems)" and decided that it has to apply to everyone now. It feels like an "everything looks like a nail" problem.

So then you get people looking at a character who's already been isolated and lacked connection for most of their life and going "well, clearly what they need is more alone time. That'll sort them out."

What makes Leverage a great show is that Nate has your standard Catholic guilt, Sophie is a chronic liar who struggles with genuine vulnerability, Parker and Eliot invent eighteen new types of repression with every episode, and Hardison is just trying to make a group hug happen.

I will always reblog this

[bradspace3000]

still remember how revolutionary this ad felt 10 years ago

[annesophiewashere]

excuse me but it still feels revolutionary

[stevviefox]

Keep reblogging until it feels normal everywhere.

For context: this came out in 2011 in Australia. Same-sex marriage would not be legalized until December 2017.

It was only legalized in 8 US states (the 8th only a few months before), and wouldn’t be legalized nation-wide until 2015.

It was only legal in TEN COUNTRIES in 2011. We wouldn’t hit 20 countries until 2017. (Australia was 23rd)

As of today (April 14, 2026), I believe only 38 countries have fully legalized same-sex marriage. Out of somewhere around 200 countries in the world. That’s only ~19% of countries.

This is still revolutionary.

Listen I get it but you CANNOT use "sensory nightmare" as an excuse to avoid essential things. You HAVE to find a way to make it work, such as finding effective alternatives. But you can't just avoid it.

You need to eat some vegetables in your diet or you will become a lich.

You have to wear a life jacket or you will literally drown and die.

You need to be able to exist in public spaces with children.

You have to find a way.

The problem with having OCs is that sometimes you wanna read about your little guy being in situations but unfortunately he is YOUR little guy and no one is gonna put him in that situation but you. Tragic.

Ryan Gosling’s career has just been one long quest to climb the Warner Bros water tower

[notaplaceofhonour]

that man has been trying to climb this tower since he was 16. he has asked multiple times, and every time they said no, but now he’s famous enough & variety was able to convince them to do a shoot on the tower. it all led here. it was all for this.

I’m obsessed with the implication that this was a coming-of-age ritual where a boy becomes a man, like a bar mitzvah

I've gone. Not one for goodbyes, I thought it best to slip out quietly. Love to you all, Giles.
