Scully in episode 1: I don't really agree with Mulder on anything, but he seems earnest and like a nice enough guy. I think he honestly just needs a friend.
Scully in episode 2: Mulder, my new best friend, has been captured by the US Army, so I will now commit several Class-A felonies and enter into an armed hostage situation to get him back.
me being so excited to join a fandom and realizing there are like. 10 of us. oh no
Someone needs to drop a tv or graphic novel or something so there is more than 12 of us for real.

Block these sites in your uBlock Origin so you won't see that shit in your searches
The extension in the screenshot is uBlacklist and it's quite easy to use, both manually from the control panel to add the sites with the asterisk, or when in a search results page and clicking the "block this site" option. It's how I've gotten rid of random Pinterest site results, too.
They also provide subscription lists that keep up sites such as these and others on their github:
https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/subscriptions
uBlacklist works on a number of browsers, including Firefox mobile for Android. Crucially, it also functions with other search engines: you just have to go into the addon's menu and enable "Other Search Engines", then select which ones you use.
It supports blocking on Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Qwant, SearX, Startpage.com, Yahoo! Japan, and Yandex.
THE X-FILES | S05E12 ‘Bad Blood’
Fire Lord Zuko passing a law that forbids challenging anyone under the age of majority to Agni Kai
Fire Lord Zuko waiting until the day he reaches the age of majority to pass this law, lest anyone think he is a coward
(No one. Literally no one would have thought that, but it’s generally regarded as a very classy move regardless)
Wait but also, until then, if anyone under the age of majority is challenged
Zuko fights it for them.
Which, especially in more rural towns (where Agni Kais are less of a public event and more of a fast and violent duel) is terrifying because you challenge your neighbor’s kid over a stolen chicken-fish and all of a sudden the Fire Lord is showing up???
But, those few who still challenge those who should be kids learn quickly to regret it.
Okay but this implies that Zuko knows whenever someone challenges a kid to an Agni Kai and is there before the battle takes place.
Firelord Zuko: *wakes up in a cold sweat near midnight*
Firelord Zuko: *running down the palace hallways while still struggling to put in his pants, being chased by his team of bodyguards* I’M GOING TO HING WA ISLAND TO KICK SOMEBODY’S ASS SEE YOU IN A WEEK BITCHES
Random spirit: Why’d you do that to him? Isn’t it kind of a stretch for a mortal to be blessed like that?
Agni himself: I felt like it

“There is not a day or night but a doe offers her life for her kittens, or some honest captain of Owsla his life for his Chief Rabbit’s. Sometimes it is taken, sometimes it is not.

this reddit post is so good.

Even Adobe has some free images
There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3
recently found out about openverse which i think aggregates a bunch of creative commons images from flickr, wikimedia, nasa etc… pretty handy
I’m shocked so many people don’t know about my go to – Morgue File.
It’s full of searchable, rights free images uploaded by photographers.
“How long ago was this poste..oh.”
i understand why people are attached to smugly pointing out that a love interest cannot solve your psychological problems, but-
ok first of all i think one issue with this as a critique of ofmd is that romance as a genre simply does not have psychological realism in that kind of sense as one of its priorities; the exaggerated emotions in fictional romance are more of a metaphor expressing certain things about love than intended as a strictly realistic depiction of it. i don't think ed and stede are being presented as a realistic portrait of what a healthy relationship should look like in real life any more than the show is saying it's a good idea irl to abandon your children to pursue your lifelong dream of becoming a career criminal. ed and stede knew each other for like three weeks total before upending both their entire lives and several other unrelated people's lives about it. obviously you a real person should not ever do that. at the same time, presenting a work of fiction where that actually IS a thing worth doing allows you to say some true things about love that you can't express through strict realism. in real life love can't magically fix your mental health problems but in real life it can't magically pull you out of a coma after being beaten to death either. sometimes things are metaphors.
but the other thing is, look, if the reason you are suicidally depressed is very specifically that you are desperately crushingly lonely and are absolutely certain you always will be because you believe there is something fundamentally wrong with you at the deepest level that makes you impossible to love, and then you come to truly fully believe somebody really does love you in the way you've always been afraid to hope for, then, yeah, that is necessarily going to do something about the suicidality. not because the other person fixed your problem from the outside, but because by definition you could not have come to believe in their love for you without finding the strength to overcome that problem from inside yourself.
what i'm saying is ed doesn't stop being suicidal because stede loves him, he stops being suicidal because he comes to have faith that he is a person who is capable of being loved, and that in turn allows him to trust in stede's love for him and commit to building a future together. and he couldn't have done that without stede's support - nobody ever does it entirely without external support - but stede couldn't and didn't just do it for him either.
that's why the season doesn't end on the mermaid. stede is specifically not even with him when ed comes to the realization that his capacity for violence doesn't make him the unlovable monster he always thought he was. ed's arc doesn't end with stede coming back or with stede expressing his love. ed's arc is resolved when he gets to a place where he can fully believe stede meant it.
All of this.
This also hits on why I don’t like the “Ed is projecting Stede saying he’ll never leave again.” It is not a fantasy Ed uses to convince himself of Stede’s love and that he can then project back onto Stede (like being mad at someone when they do something in a dream). It is something that Stede truly means and says and that Ed comes to believe.

I know I’m being an insufferable worldbuilding nerd here, but my basic metric for evaluating media with very inhuman protagonists is “how easily can one offer a complete and coherent account of this media’s plot without ever mentioning the fact that the protagonist is, for example, a talking car?”. The harder it is, the higher it scores.
@hewwbwazew I would LOVE to read this holy shit
@territorialoak I hope you don’t mind me adding your tags here, that story is just too good and I’m Obsessed
also @gilgamemesh I feel like this is your vibe too
Almost a dozen now-deleted Goodreads accounts review bombed several upcoming authors and all 5-starred Cait Corrain.
Since this article was published, according to tweets from the parties involved, two of Corrain’s publishers have removed their book from their 2024 schedules, and Corrain’s agent has announced that she and her client are parting company.
Glad this racist got her shit ruined bc she could not stay in her lane.
stede taking a million years to realize things is deeply relatable
