Im an average girl with an invisible "disease"called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, or EDS for short. I mostly reblog stuff but I hope you enjoy it. I like books, anime, manga, TV shows, comics etc. Feel free to message me whenever.

I love how when fan-fiction writers have friends in the fandom, to demonstrate their friendship, they dedicate porn to one another.

I think that’s lovely.

#i love you bro #have this dirty fucking

[hnytck]

Or when artist friends dedicate porn to their writer friends, and they receive written porn in return to consummate their friendship.

I think that’s also lovely.

and while we’re at it, fuck this idea that ONE ACCOUNT has to belong uniquely to ONE PERSON. This is the same thing these silicon valley fucks want; their vision of the future where everyone has a unique biometric ID code implanted in their body is the ultimate extension of Netflix’s “no password sharing” policy. You want to use your friend’s car? Sorry, you can’t, you need to be an authorized user. Your mother wants to let you look something up on her OED account? Too bad! That’s only for her! The concept of perfect market efficiency gives them greedy little money bag eyes.

If I pay money to have a newspaper sent to my house, they don’t charge me extra when I show it to my dad. This password sharing thing isn’t just a Netflix problem; don’t be surprised if it shows up elsewhere in other forms. Stamp this idea out now or we’ll be stuck with it.

[jungwildeandfree]

This is by far the most popular post I have and I have to say: good, I’m right. Password sharing and ID verification are going to kill the internet. not oooh in 50 years. in like 5 more.

imagine going into a scene knowing that ally beardsley and lou wilson have full agency and no matter what they say, it has to succeed. that had to be terrifying for brennan

The fact that Primus Tachonis like…Unilaterally declared “The Houses of Royce and Davinos end tonight” or whatever at the Palazzo massacre. And two weeks later the score looks like this:

-Royce ruling lady alive

-Davinos heir alive

-Mother of Davinos heir alive

-Sister of Davinos heir alive, but cursed, but the cure for the curse is in sight

-Golden Orchard mostly destroyed but still serving as a meeting place for Royce allies

And on the other side:

-Tachonis heir cursed and then dead

-Tachonis middle child with the unfortunate name dead

-Seremai basilisk knight dead

-another Seremai child dead (and back from it specifically to kill her living family)

-Target very firmly pinned on Primus himself by druids of the Old Path, house Einfasen, tiny tank Thimble who is suddenly less tiny, his own son, the heir of his closest ally house, and Tachonis murder machine extraordinaire Julien Davinos

-Obrimus Manor packed up and fled from in the middle of the night

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

[sherbertilluminated]

Promethean task: opposite of a Cassandraean task. You have the right information, and SOMEONE has to share it. But it's all in the delivery and if you're the person to identify the problem you WILL be hated forever.

[thearrogantemu]

Oedipal Task: (1) Attempting to avoid an unspeakably awful outcome and in doing so creating the circumstances that will bring it about. (2) Trying to solve an problem and discovering that you are in fact the problem you are trying to solve.

[theoppositeofprofound]

Odyssean task: you’ll complete it but it’ll take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini-adventures

[lierdumoa]

Pandorean task: some people fucked around and now it's your job to make sure they find out

[itseasytoremember]

Orphesian Task: a task that seems simple but is designed to be impossible for the one tasked with it

[stickthisbig]

Dionysian Task: the plot of any stoner movie about trying to piece together what happened last night

[tachyon-at-rest]

"Odyessian Task" accurately describes a life with ADHD.

Too accurately perhaps

[mizgrownnonsense]

Penelopian task: So long as you look busy, you're good. Work slowly, and even undo some of the work if your have to, just don't let them catch on.

[orpheuslament]

terrifying when you watch a movie or a show or whatever & youre like that was fun but it felt a little redundant they didnt need to hammer the point home that much & then you go online & theres thousands of people going that was so weird i did not get it what did that mean google.com ending explained please?

[writers-solace]

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world

people not realizing that anakin is the one obsessed with the jedi code, not obi-wan, is so understandable but also very funny bc like

obi-wan has space-catholic guilt, but anakin spends day and night going "the code the code i'M BREAKING THE CODE but i don't care because the code is stupid except Oh No i attacked master windu so now i'm going to jedi turbo hell according to the code i don't care about (except i totally do) might as well become a sith to cement my betrayal of the code"

while obi-wan's approach is "i'll unpack that later"

like. obi-wan follows the code more/"better," but anakin (whether following or going against it) is Haunted By It At All Times

and that's precisely why obi-wan fucks off into the desert and gets depressed while anakin goes on a genocidal rampage for 20+ years

[awkward-bob-reynolds]

[dashedwithromance]

not to start whacking the hornet’s nest but i think the most tragic part of ahsoka and anakin’s story together is that from the very first moment, it’s all based on a lie.

ahsoka meets anakin after aotc - he’s already committed an unjustifiable atrocity. he’s already slaughtered the tusken people, and as far as we know, ahsoka never finds out about that. and you know, that would completely and wildly screw up ahsoka’s perceptions of anakin

and i would go so far as to say it would screw with her image of anakin more than the vader reveal. because the vader reveal is like. oh shit your older brother/ best friend has turned into a monster and has committed genocide and is currently trying to kill you

but the tusken massacre reveal is like. oh shit your older brother who tucks you in bed when you’re sick and who makes you laugh so hard your ribs hurt has, for the entire time he’s loved you and you loved in return, been a murderer, and has actively been hiding a horrible, unjustifiable secret

the vader reveal is tragic because the anakin that ahsoka knows and remembers is, to her knowledge, gone forever. the tusken massacre reveal is tragic because the anakin that ahsoka knows and loves is based on a lie

My boyfriend was showing me his cat and I leaned over to kiss the cat on his soft little baby head and he went "meow" and scrambled away because I'd been wearing my headphones and I accidentally jabbed him with the microphone.

And I said "Damn, this is exactly like in the Iliad"

[rebels-cairn]

#explanation: this references the scene where Hektor the prince of troy goes to his wife after a battle and leans in to kiss his son #(who is still a baby and being held in andromache's arms) #but his son cringes away in fear of his father's battle helmet #it's a gut wrenching scene about how war dehumanizes you and separates you from the people you love #this interpretation implies that being a gamer is analogous

[cherishablematerial-deactivated]

The face of a man whose father nicknamed him Plorn.

With each addition to this, I find myself nodding and murmuring, "Mm hm. The Plorn Dickens."

I wonder if all the "dead poets society" "sad poetry" ppl reblogging this know it's from a d20 campaign.

do they know about ylfa? do they know what she became? do they know that the wolf did not eat her, but that she ate the wolf? do they know that she walked her grandmother's past to a wooden door? do they know she gave up her name so that people might someday be able to write their own stories?
