My Spirit Animal Is A Prairie Dog

One day I'm going to tell someone to fight me and they're just gonna deck me (ง'̀-'́)ง

Ice would never admit it, but his first crush was James Dean, and he's been into the bad boy on a bike trope ever since

So, maybe his slight, very small and entirely inconsequential crush on maverick mitchell, with his dark hair, cute dimples, the leather jacket and superbike, smirking like he knew what you were thinking.......wasn't much of a suprise at all.

[ID: A playlist titled "spock explains pon farr to kirk" by user taken from amok time. The playlist is 4 hours and 5 minutes long and uses song titles to spell out an entire conversation, here transcribed in plain text:

"Captain, there are some things which transcend even the discipline of the service." "Would it help if I told you that I'll treat this as totally confidential?" "It has to do with biology." "What?" "Biology" "What kind of biology?" "Vulcan biology" "You mean the biology of Vulcans?" "Biology, as in, reproduction?" "Well, there's no need to be embarrassed about it Mr. Spock. It happens to the birds and the bees." End ID]

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

[raginrayguns]

My mom learned it because she figured she’ll go deaf when she gets old

[manyblinkinglights]

My family went holiday SCUBA diving once, and a couple of Deaf guys were in the group. I was really little and I spent most of the briefing overcome with the realization that while the rest of us were going to have regulators in our mouths and be underwater fairly soon, they were going to be able to do all the same stuff and keep talking.

The only reason some form of sign language is not a standard skill is ableism, as far as I can tell.

For anyone interested in learning, Bill Vicars has full lessons of ASL on youtube that were used in my college level classes.

and here’s the link to the website he puts in his videos:

Update: you guys this is an amazing resource for learning asl. Bill Vicars is an incredible teacher. His videos are of him teaching a student in a classroom, using the learned vocabulary to have conversations.

Not only is the conversation format immersive and helpful for learning the grammar, but the students make common mistakes which he corrects, mistakes I wouldn’t have otherwise know I was making.

He also emphasizes learning ASL in the way it’s actually used by the Deaf community and not the rigid structure that some ASL teachers impose in their classrooms

His lesson plans include learning about the Deaf community, which is an important aspect of learning ASL. Knowing how to communicate in ASL without the knowledge of the culture behind it leaves out a lot of nuances and explanations for the way ASL is.

Lastly, his lessons are just a lot of fun to watch. He is patient, entertaining, and funny. This good natured enthusiasm is contagious and learning feels like a privilege and not a chore

And it’s all FREE. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to learn ASL

There’s no reason for this gifset, I just wanted more Benji on my dash. From the outrageously overjoyed to be in the field and celebrated with a bleached buzz cut Benji…

to outrageously handsome in his beard and competence and smiling at Ethan Benji

(Wait - I forgot brilliant and yet undiscovered Benji, waiting to be given in his purpose in life in the shape of a phone call from Ethan…)

Phew! Back to outrageously handsome Benji, so stunning in a tux even Ethan ‘this is going to be strictly professional with absolutely no contact’ has to remark on it

And of course ‘I am playing a role to fool Walker I am a weak and weedy tech guy. Doesn’t mean I can’t look good in it’ Benji is delightful (I love how when walker isn’t looking he drops the befuddled and nervous look and becomes watchful, competent, aware and keeping the plan on track. I adore watching him change depending on whether or not walker is looking, and keeping Ethan on track for the plan)

And i am aware he is going through a crisis in DR but he does look so good brooding and tortured but keeping it firmly under control (well that’s a kink I didn’t know I had)

And finally, Benji getting the adoration he deserves (I have decided that whatever is going on here, Ethan is finally telling Benji how much he means to him)

There. Hope no one minded my little moment of Benji Dunn appreciation

@afrenchwriter I feel like this is applicable to soooo many stories 😆

[afrenchwriter]

Indeed, it is 😏

[storywriter12]

Look how pretty he looks here with his eyes closed he has such a pretty face and long eyelashes. his little grey hairs coming through just make him look more handsome 😍

[thatsmolmusicnerd]

Pete maverick Mitchel and Ethan Hunt are the same person the only difference is that Ethan is a service top and Mav is a bratty bottom

Reminder that it's OK to dislike someone for petty, low-stakes reasons and avoid being around them even if there's nothing genuinely wrong with their character. And in fact the kindest thing to do in this situation is just to own that you find their vibe irritating and NOT spin up a narrative where you HAD to distance yourself from them because they were Toxic.
