you’re eric bogosian you’re like 70something and you think your days of being a big dick bisexual are over and then you sign on to play a character on some vampire show and within three years you’re posting oldguy thirst traps that make assad zaman foam at the mouth in your instagram comments

I was checking out a light novel and realized that the writer was arrested for tax fraud. And my first reaction was like: eh they should really let him finish the story it's not like he did a lot of harm

This is an anti-despair checkpoint! You must share something you're looking forward to before scrolling on.

[televisionenjoyer]

Everyone has an accent it came free with your language 🙄

[audliminal]

Congrats to every reply like this for failing to understand the fundamental definition of an accent. Of course you think you sound normal! It's the way you speak!

[salarta]

Gonna sign language at you in a very southern accent

[inthewaytoamultilinguallife]

Sign languages also comes with accents, you can easily watch people sign and tell the difference

You get different sign language accents, you get regional accents, and you even get "second language speaker accent"

Julien, after getting into a screaming match with his mother and learning that his sister is essentially dying, has to tell Thimble that her brother is okay. He has to see the relief wash over her.

He doesn’t know if he’ll ever get to feel that same joy.

I’ve been thinking a LOT lately about what a weird and stressful experience it is to care a lot about a story when you don’t trust the storyteller.

Spy x Family is fundamentally an adoption story.

Obviously Anya is adopted. We all know this. She knows this. She loves her family but knows it is incredibly fragile.

But unlike most adoption stories (say Natsume Yuujinchou) Anya is not adopted into a loving functional family who's main goal is to support and love her until she heals from all the hurt she has been through.

Because Everyone in their family is adopted.

Yor enters thinking she is entering an existing family dynamic of a man and his daughter. She is the step mother, eagerly wanted but a definite outsider. She does not know about how they lost Loid's first wife. They both Never mention her but Anya clearly has Huge feelings about her Mommy that she cannot touch. Because Loid refuses to acknowledge her. Which means she's not allowed to.

She's a wife brought in to solve a problem. The fact she adores Anya and loves Loid (eventually) doesn't make her any less of an outsider from her perspective. To Yor she's the adopted family member.

Meanwhile Loid, the one who brought them all together almost instantly finds himself on the outside of the family. He works too much and doesn't make it home for dinner frequently. He struggles to connect with his 'daughter' and wife. Can't understand either of them despite constant efforts. Something incredibly distressing for him.

Yor instantly connects with this child when he struggled to hold her hand in public. In his eyes Yor and Anya are a family and he is the outsider only there for the mission. The man who is destined to Not be there. He too often fills the role of the outside child brought into a happy family. One he constantly feels he is fumbling or failing. (If I'm not good, if i'm not perfect- my family will leave me. So I have to be. I have to figure out how to be better)

They are a family of adopted members all holding so tightly to each other. Each one of them chooses the others over and over again. Struggles against their own limitations and fears to be a part of a family they're all terrified to really call their own.

But it is that choice that makes them a family. Not blood or marriage or any certificate. That they all keep trying to be a family to the others. I'll be a good girl and study hard Papa. I'll be a good wife, I'll play my role well so don't abandon me. I'll be a good father and husband, I will try to be a good husband and father if you both will just stay with me. Please. I will figure out how.

Spy x Family is an adoption story.

Don’t Know What to Draw?

[thememedaddy]

[i-dunno-mate]

So funny to read the training hall sections of Catching Fire knowing Finnick is specifically tasked with getting Katniss into an alliance. He follows her to the knot tying station, shows off his skills and jokes around, she gives him nothing and walks off. Finnick immediately goes to the archery station to wait for her since she'll surely want to come over and show off her best skill to posture or get back at him or just for fun. She doesnt, she steers well clear and instead gets chatting with Beetee and Wiress of all people and then at lunch says they're the only people she's found that she wants to ally with. Finnick takes this hit to his pride, realises he's getting nowhere, and comes up with a different strategy. He introduces Katniss to Mags and then leaves her alone.
