"you can't pick and choose what you like from canon" common misconception! yes you can

[pirateherokillian]

but please do not get this very true concept confused with “you cannot pick and choose what is canon”

they are two very different things.

[joeyclaire]

thank you for this addition seriously

[ivipl1]

nastiest trick in the book is getting you genuinely deeply attached to a character whose name sounds fucking stupid in any other context. this WILL happen to you at some point in your life.

EMMA D'ARCY and OLIVIA COOKE as RHAENYRA TARGARYEN and ALICENT HIGHTOWER ↳ HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (2022 - ), dir. MIGUEL SAPOCHNIK ⤷ 1x07 "Driftmark"

Fun fact: if someone tells you that they've got misophonia and that they can't stand a specific sound, and you start making that sound on purpose and won't stop doing it before they forcibly physically stop you from doing it, you were the one who escalated the situation to violence.

I love how much of a mad scientist Dr. Hannity is. She could've just patented her wheat strain and paid scientific journals to fearmonger about the blight spreading to american fields so everyone would wanna buy the immune strain, which would've been like, normal evil corporation shit, but she decided she needed to hatch a spiderman villain scheme and endanger the global food supply just for funsies.

I remember you castrella

like do you ever just think about the librarians (TV 2014)’s canonical doomed yuri dimension. in the timeline where cassandra cillian becomes the librarian, she pulls eve and lamia (coughs and morgan le fay) and becomes a sorceress. and there’s dragons.

you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.

[bententeren]

ok so. so we’re just. not reading now. wow ok. ok!!! booktok says we should remove half of the fun from reading!!! wow!!! (i found this in a video and apparently it’s not just this person doing it. it’s. quite a few of them. just to make that clear.)

[omi-papus]

Really curious what kind of riviting dialogue this mf is writing to be acting like this.

[11thsense]

Hello, Emily. This is Adam Driver. I came across your blog in my free time today and it pained me greatly to find a post you made recently calling me ugly and, I quote, “garbage”. I began to cry, because I have anxiety about my appearance. You have truly hurt an innocent 30 or 40 year old man who wants nothing more than to act and be happy. I hope you consider your actions in the future, as I am still crying because of you. Thank you, and goodbye.

[rotund-squirrelmeister]

i love forbidden queer relationships in media where the forbidden aspect has nothing to do with them being queer and everything to do with their murderous tendancies

[catnippackets]

actually it would be incredibly funny if humans existed somewhere else in the universe. we meet aliens and they're just more humans except with a completely different history and language structure and politics because another planet out there evolved the same way ours did. there's no new science to learn it's all just anthropology

“There’s a cure?!” asked the girl that kills everything she touches.  “Hey shut up we’re perf” replied the girl that makes clouds. 

[theboylondon]

For real though. Storm has stopped an entire tsunami before. “Makes clouds my ass” she can conjure lightning and tornadoes and is revered as a god in her tribe. She literally changes atmospheric pressure and that’s how she flies. So fuck you. Storm is flawless.

[sun-spiral-deactivated20210109]

I think you missed the part where the GIRL WHO KILLS EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES wants to NOT KILL EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES and everyone dismisses her incredible misfortune just because the lady who is the AVATAR OF THE STORM won the fucking SUPERPOWER LOTTERY

[jezunya]

And here we see X-Men perfectly illustrating the disparity between the larger disability community (Storm) and the chronic illness community (Rogue). One wants society to accept & respect them & their various different needs, which is surely a noble cause, while the other would like to NOT BE IN PAIN EVERY FUCKING DAY, which is just as important but often gets shouted down by non-ill disabled people who only want to talk about disability as a social construct.

I love people who have specific characters that are their "no one understands this character like me. not even the writers." because they're genuinely not joking. the way they understand those specific characters is so profound that it'll change your entire veiw.
