AO3 going down while we deal with the advent of WW3 is actually diabolical

Really rude of Mother Nature and Netflix to not sync their calendars better. Bridgerton S4 and Fern would have been the best collab.

Heated Rivalry Season 2

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about what the “end” point of season 2 should be and mentioning the plane chapter. But I think that’s too late in the book/doesn’t give enough material for season 3?

I think a more natural S2 finale is the “I already did” moment (is that at Christmas maybe?).

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there

I am super happy for Casey and in general think a RWRB movie sequel is fun. But I’m a little sad because I’m guessing that’s the nail in the coffin for ever getting a book sequel. Which means no more June or Raf or bad-ass Bea.

[choosing--life]

Am I happy RWRB got made into a movie? Yes - Casey deserves all good things and this will certainly benefit their career.

Did I have high expectations for the movie? Not particularly. I’ve been burned by movie adaptations too many times (looking at you Ella Enchanted 👀)

Did I like the movie? Well enough - it had its charm. The casting wasn’t terrible. Some of the straight-from-the-book dialogue was squeal inducing.

But fOR THE LOVE OF GOD if they were going to nix June (rip) they could have at least made Nora and Bea even half as amazing as their book-counterparts. You deserved better ladies.

The legacies people leave behind in you.

My handwriting is the same style as the teacher’s who I had when I was nine. I’m now twenty one and he’s been dead eight years but my i’s still curve the same way as his.

I watched the last season of a TV show recently but I started it with my friend in high school. We haven’t spoken in four years.

I make lentil soup through the recipe my gran gave me.

I curl my hair the way my best friend showed me.

I learned to love books because my father loved them first.

How terrifying, how excruciatingly painful to acknowledge this. That I am a jigsaw puzzle of everyone I have briefly known and loved. I carry them on with me even if I don’t know it. How beautiful.

Ok it’ll take me awhile to process Shadow & Bone Season 2 and how I feel about the… adjustments they made to the storyline.

BUT

“Know that I loved you. Know that it was not enough.”

anD THEN

“I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.”

Those ones got me y’all.

I will say I am sad we didn’t get “I am not ruined. I am ruination.”

Raise your hand if there’s a show that you just have no interest in watching but Tumblr has made you care about one particular ship so every month or so you check the tag just to see how things are progressing and catch up on GIFs.

so what if you’re not the best? you’re better than you were yesterday

What food group is honey what the fuck is this stuff

[violetvappy-deactivated20220306]

Apparently its categorized as raw meat by the FDA, which is cursed information if I’ve ever seen it.

WHAT

[weaselsblaugh]

I wonder if this is due to tax reasons (why tomatoes are taxonomically fruit, but legally vegetable) or religious reasons (why beavers are considered fish, for purposes of Lent).

[dayst-ooc]

“Beavers are considered fish, for purposes of Lent”

If I’m being honest here, I don’t know what to do with this information.

[toffeecape]

IIRC hippos are also catholically fish.

[assassinationtipsforladies]

You know what, if you can take down a hippo you deserve to eat it during lent

[smokeinsilence]

have you ever noticed you pick up little habits and phrases from the people you love? it’s no wonder our hearts are so easily broken when people leave. we become a reflection of the people that we care about and those personality traits stick with us even if the people don’t

[viridianmasquerade]

I make my ramen the way a friend taught me in eleventh grade. Every fall, I listen to a playlist made for me by a boy I drove across a border to hook up with. I eat sushi because a girl who won’t talk to me anymore made me try it, and Indian food because my best friend’s parents ordered for me before I knew what I liked. There are movies I love because someone I loved loved them first. I am a mosaic of everyone I’ve ever loved, even for a heartbeat.

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

Few things have convinced me that Tumblr couldn’t give two shits about advertising more than the fact that I, a cis-woman, cannot get them to stop exclusively giving me sponsored posts about manscaping.
