the pros of reading ao3 fics in public is that their layout is so clean and simple that people would think you’re reading some academic researches when you’re in fact reading a 50k fic. the cons is that you need to control your face all the fucking time

[fuckyeahisawthat]

An additional feature: the layout is clean and simple BUT anyone familiar with AO3 will immediately recognize it. Pro or con? You decide.

[lynati]

If they know it enough to recognize it on sight, they probably aren’t going to be judging me about it.

they were also at the devil’s sacrament

They've still got a few prepositions unused, though. Death for the Family, Death on the Family, Death! at the Family.

I keep seeing people saying that peter and frank have a "father/son dynamic" or a "uncle/nephew dynamic" but you are all wrong. They have the dynamic of the older coworker that you are way to close with when you're in your 20s. We've all had that coworker. Thats your best friend kinda. But it only works in a work setting

Kara Zor El 🤝 Bruce Wayne in clowning Clark for seeing the best in people and being openly optimistic, but also ruthlessly defending Clark (in their own ways) if someone shakes his trust in the goodness of others

Richard is such a good name for a dog because you can call him Dickie when he’s being your little baby boy and Dick when he’s behaving like one. And Richard on official documents.

I am somehow just realising I was one of those babies listening to metal. Like you see these little babies loving Metallica and shit and I was one of them.

if christopher nolan was really the visionary and ground-breaking director everyone claims he is he would have cast ben affleck as penelope

There is something so funny about the way DC names cities because it’s just so…accurate to how actual people do it. The reason why it works without feeling super clunky is because people usually name cities and towns after whatever attribute they have. ‘This place has a port, let’s call it PortTown’. Central City? It’s either in mid-America or the center of its state. Metropolis? Very Urban, fast growing, biggest city around (or someone just had very high expectations of it). Smallville? It’s small.

Like this is the exact level of effort someone put into naming the real life town of Beer in England, Disappointment Lake in Ontario, or Chicken in Alaska (the settlers were too lazy to figure out the correct spelling for a local species of bird they wanted to name the town after) We are just not a creative species at naming things and that’s beautiful.

This also implies that Gotham was named because a lot of Goth people settled there. You can take that to mean in the modern sense if you wanna be whimsical, or in the sense of the Visi and Ostrogoth people from modern day Germany if you need a slightly more plausible reason. Either way, this explains why the entire city carries the same existentialism as a novel by Franz Kafka.

On sunny days I go out walking

I end up on a tree-lined street

I look up at the gaps of sunlight

I miss you more than anything

[fairycosmos]

getting older is funny because characters you used to look up to and see as very established and grown up people are like 29

[thepromiscuousfinger]

[kittydesade]

Didn’t expect that.

[slayerkitty]

No one ever does.

This made me smile. Maybe you need a smile today too.

Sometimes I wonder if I even exist when no one is looking. I shift so easily into whatever someone needs me to be, and then I’m alone again, and I don’t recognize what’s left.
