i mean sure, Nobody is perfect, but what were they even thinking

[ralphlanyon]

happy odyssey weekend

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

ohhh my god I just fact-checked, Nolan actually DID cut the "Nobody" scene from his Odyssey movie. Mfer that is like cutting the Father reveal from Star Wars. Let me speak in a language you understand this is like not dressing Batman up in his suit. "It was not possible to work it in" the TikTok musical with a budget of $4 and a scratched Hamilton CD managed to work it in in SONG form, step up your FUCKING GAME

take figures out of their boxes btw. sew patches on your favorite jacket. go to bed with your favorite plushes. wear the pants you usually save for special occasions. draw something cool on your wall. put a sticker on your laptop. dye your hair and pierce your lips. glass is meant to break, metal is meant to rust. items are meant to be used. that's how the world knows that somebody loved them.

When my aunt died of covid, we had to clean out a lot of stuff that she was saving. Foods she was going to try, she was a great chef, spices she'd never opened or only used sparingly, lotions and bath things she hadn't used. After she died I started making a point of using things up: the good vanilla that has to be imported, that we finally found more of, we'd used barely an ounce before she passed away. Even though we love it. I just got my family new bottles of it for Christmas because we used one up. We enjoyed that happiness. Sometimes I still get the impulse to wait for something special, or awful, to save nice things for celebration or comfort. The phrase that always echoes in my mind is "use the good vanilla". And I have been (burning the candles, squirting the body wash, dissolving the bath bombs, putting the saffron in things). And it's been great. Use the good vanilla.

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

Everyone suggest Robbie Ross as the cat name I beg of you that cat looks like such a Robbie

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

LOOK AT THIS PAINTING OF TEENAGE ROBBIE ROSS WITH A CAT ISNT HE ADORABLE AND THE CAT IS THE SAME COLOUR

And we had suggested this name BEFORE we found the painting

It's meant to be

FUN FACTS ABOUT ROBBIE ROSS AS PROPAGANDA:

1. When Oscar Wilde's son Vyvyan turned 21 his whole family shunned him because of Oscar's scandal so Robbie threw him a birthday party in his own house

2. When all his literary friends raised funds to pay for Robbie's court bills because Alfred Douglas kept trying to get him imprisoned for homosexuality, he paid the bills himself and donated the funds to an art scholarship instead

3. During the Great War his house because a safe space for queer people to come and talk to each other

Me: Alright, brain, we have two tasks to do. One of them is more time sensitive, but working on the other will be more fun. Which should I start on?

My brain: Do fucking nothing for 72 hours

Me: Understandable, have a nice day

many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think

[papayafromtv]

a while ago i was secretly writing batfamily fic on my phone while out and i couldn’t remember the word vinyl for flooring so i had to ask one of my friends and i gestured to a floor nearby and was like ‘what’s the word for that stuff?’ and they told me and i went back to typing on my phone and my other friend looked over at me and full fucking clocked me by asking ‘is batman laying shit flooring?’ and i had to fucking. gather myself for a moment before quietly making eye contact and admitting ‘his neighbour is,’ and i don’t think i’ll ever recover.

[redstonedust]

problem with tv shows today is i think a lot of them want to be movies. 90 minute episodes with full cgi and a plot so streamlined theres no time for filler is not a tv show to me. tv shows need a low budget so they can afford to send the characters on weird detours to flesh out the universe. its healthy. its good for the ecosystem. you need a show wiki writers and tv tropes cataloguers can sink their teeth into.

[satanfemme]

otherwise interesting post ruined by the bold insistence that you can never accidentally abuse someone & that all abusive people are self-aware evil masterminds

[satanfemme]

I don't think my parents are aware that what they did was abuse. in fact I think one of the reasons they abused me was because they lacked the self-awareness, introspection, and education needed to realize what they were doing counted as abuse. if they did have more self awareness &etc, they would have likely stopped. it is not productive to insist they woke up in the mornings with the intent to psychologically torture a kid for no reason, when that is self-evidently not the case or within their motivations.

I'm speaking annecdotally here but I think many cases of abuse are like this. I think when reckoning with the reality of how abuse functions in our society, you must come to terms with the mundanity of it including the fact that abusive people are primed to overlook the harm of their own actions through the shield of mundanity and (lack of) intent.

i'm rereading the murderbot diaries and murderbot's utter conviction that it and gurathin are bitter enemies is still so funny. buddy. gurathin got over this months ago. he's just a quiet guy.

[theaicollective]

one-sided antagonism is so delicious.  murderbot diaries i also very much enjoy how surreal it must be for gurathin /   to know that the heavily armed rogue secunit holds a grudge against him /  and also know that all it will ever choose to do about this is make frowny faces and flip him the bird. / (tags via space-mouse)

[asimovsideburns]

Gurathin, like three books from now: hey we’re friends right

Murderbot: no. we fucking hate each other.

Gurathin: awesome check this out it’s gonna make you so fucking mad

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

MB: I don’t like you

Gurathin, knowing MB calls its best friend “asshole research transport”: Uh-huh.
